Chapter 261 ends with Yuta Okkotsu using Gojo's body to fight Sukuna. In part 262, the battle between Yuta and Sukuna continues to be extremely intense, making fans worried, will Yuta die in this battle? Many core characters of the series have fallen like Gojo Satoru, Nanami... Is Yuta on this death list?
Does Yuta Okkotsu die in manga Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 262?
Based on the ending of the Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262 manga, Yuta Okkotsu's condition remains unknown. Although the chapter shows us Rika crying while hugging an unconscious Yuta Okkotsu manga, it is unknown whether he was just unconscious because of his injuries or was actually dead.
Another possibility is that this image only shows Yuta unconscious because he is still in Gojo's body, and Rika is crying because she is worried about Yuta. Furthermore, Rika's existence depends on Yuta Okkotsu's magic power, so the fact that she still exists proves that Yuta is definitely still alive.
Another notable point is that Yuta's body was sewn back together, even though in chapter 261 the body was originally cut in half. So, perhaps Shoko succeeded in combining the two body parts. This is clearly a pretty good signal. Currently, fans all over the world still hope Yuta will not die in the next chapter.
Yuta Okkotsu's fate in the battle with Uncle Sukuna
According to chapter 248, Yuta joins the Spell College team to fight Sukuna. In the upcoming chapters, we will see more of Yuta's Domain Expansion as well as the rest of the abilities and powers of the other Spellcasters in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. However, none of them have the ability to fight on par with the man who once stood on top of the world - Sukuna.
Yuta Okkotsu's next climactic scene is in manga chapter 261, where his bisected body is placed on the medical table. In this chapter, we also learn of Yuta's plan to use Gojo Satoru's body to continue fighting Sukuna. By defeating Kenjaku, Yuta allowed Rika to absorb him to copy all his skills.
Because this plan comes with too many risks, as well as using the body of the deceased is not humane, Maki and the others do not agree with this. However, Yuta Okkotsu convinced them with his own arguments. He thought that the wizard world placed all the world's hope on Gojo's shoulders, but now that that respected teacher was gone, someone had to step up to take on that role and he would do it.
Based on chapter 262, we still cannot know the exact fate of Yuta Okkotsu . Sukuna surpassed the Infinite Limit to give Yuta a fatal blow, Rika was hugging Yuta and crying. Has Yuta returned to his old body or because 5 minutes have passed, will he forever remain in Gojo's body? Please join Hobiverse in waiting for author Gege Akutami's answer in the next chapters!
