⚡ The Turning Point: Shibuya’s Engine Ignites
Chapter 77 of Jujutsu Kaisen marks the true beginning of the Shibuya Incident arc. After weeks of tension, Kenjaku’s veil seals Shibuya, trapping thousands of civilians and jujutsu sorcerers alike. The chapter shifts from preparation to pure chaos — no one is safe.
Gege Akutami masterfully balances large-scale stakes with intimate character beats. We see Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara separated, each forced into their own nightmare. The chapter’s final page, with Gojo’s sealed fate looming, leaves readers breathless.
🔍 Key Plot Developments
- Veil of despair: Kenjaku (under Geto’s appearance) activates a barrier that cuts off Shibuya. Non-sorcerers are trapped; even Gojo cannot escape instantly.
- Gojo’s confrontation: Gojo faces the cursed spirits Jogo, Hanami, and Choso — a deliberate trap to exhaust his technique and prepare for the Prison Realm.
- Yuji’s resolve: Yuji witnesses the first civilian casualties and feels the weight of his responsibility as a vessel of Sukuna. His internal conflict intensifies.
- Nobara & Megumi: They sense the anomaly but are blocked from reaching Gojo. The chapter plants seeds for their individual battles.
🧠 Character Analysis: Pressure and Fractures
| Character | State in Ch. 77 | Narrative role |
|---|---|---|
| Yuji Itadori | Horror & guilt | Moral anchor — his empathy becomes a weapon and a wound. |
| Satoru Gojo | Confident but contained | Overwhelming power meets a strategic ambush; his sealing is foreshadowed. |
| Kenjaku (Geto) | Calm, manipulative | Puppeteer of the chaos; his centuries-old plan finally moves. |
| Megumi Fushiguro | Analytical, alert | Strategic mind — already calculating countermeasures. |
| Nobara Kugisaki | Aggressive, instinctive | Represents raw offensive spirit; her arc will test her resilience. |
💥 Cursed Techniques & Battle Dynamics
The chapter doesn’t feature a full fight, but it sets the board for the most brutal battles in the series. Kenjaku’s barrier technique is a masterpiece of cursed energy manipulation — it isolates the strongest sorcerer and creates a “closed ecosystem” of fear.
- Prison Realm: Introduced as a ancient artifact; its activation condition is tied to Gojo’s mental state. Ch. 77 hints at its inevitable use.
- Disaster Curses: Jogo and Hanami work in tandem, using domain amplification to nullify Gojo’s infinity. Teamwork becomes a threat.
- Choso’s blood manipulation: His sudden appearance adds a personal layer — he believes Yuji killed his brothers (later revealed as a misunderstanding).
🌆 Atmosphere & Visual Storytelling
Akutami’s paneling in Chapter 77 is claustrophobic. Wide shots of Shibuya’s crossing contrast with tight close-ups of terrified faces. The use of black voids between panels emphasizes isolation.
The chapter’s color spread (in the volume release) shows Yuji standing beneath a cracked sky — a direct metaphor for his crumbling world. The veil itself is drawn as a translucent, ribbed membrane, evoking a womb or a tomb.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Chapter 77
Kenjaku’s goal is to isolate Gojo and trap him in the Prison Realm. A direct attack would fail against Gojo’s infinity, so he uses a veil to limit escape and force Gojo into a prolonged fight, exhausting his cursed energy and mental guard.
No — the sealing happens a few chapters later (Chapter 79–80). Chapter 77 sets the trap: Gojo is drawn into a multi-layered battle, and the Prison Realm is activated but not yet closed. It’s the beginning of his downfall.
Choso believes Yuji killed his blood brothers (Eso and Kechizu). This adds a personal vendetta to the arc, and later becomes a major twist when Choso learns the truth about his origins and Yuji’s connection to Kenjaku.
Absolutely. Up until now, Gojo’s presence guaranteed safety. Chapter 77 shows that even he can be outmaneuvered. The power balance tilts toward the cursed spirits and Kenjaku, raising the stakes for every other sorcerer.
