Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 56

Beneath Yasohachi Bridge, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 56 splits the trio across two nightmares. Megumi takes the bridge’s special-grade curse alone, while Yuji and Nobara pursue two smaller figures lurking in the dark: Eso and Kechizu, Death Painting wombs given living flesh, standing guard over one of Sukuna’s fingers. The finger’s presence has made them far stronger than their rank suggests. Megumi, remembering his recent training, chooses to face his enemy head-on instead of reaching for self-sacrifice.

The brothers fight with blood that rots living tissue on contact, and the battle turns poisonous before it has truly begun. Separated and outmatched on both fronts, each pair of sorcerers must now survive a fight that was carefully designed to kill them. Worse, the rotting blood means every wound they trade brings them closer to a slow, agonizing death.
