Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 61

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 61 delivers the arc’s most heartbreaking moment. Yuji puts down Kechizu while Nobara’s Hairpin finishes Eso — and in their final seconds, the two Death Painting brothers stop fighting entirely. They weep and reach for each other like the frightened children they truly are, dying side by side instead of as weapons. Curses or not, they were flesh and blood, and they loved each other more than anything in the world. Yuji stares at their joined hands, unable to look away from what he has just done.

Before the trio can even process what they have done, a new figure steps from the treeline: Noritoshi Kamo has come to confiscate Sukuna’s finger by force, and he has no intention of asking politely. The mission may be over, but the danger is not.
