Shinjuku showdown chapter 213 Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 213, titled "Fearsome Womb, Part 5," is a pivotal turning point in the series where Ryomen Sukuna fully takes control of Megumi Fushiguro's body. While the Shinjuku Showdown arc happens much later in the story, this specific chapter sets the foundation for it by creating "Sukuna-Megumi".📖 Key Plot EventsSukuna's Master Plan Revealed: Sukuna explains that he long recognized Megumi’s immense potential and the power of the Ten Shadows Technique. However, because Megumi had the capacity to resist and potentially cage him like Yuji did, Sukuna waited for the perfect moment to strike—when Megumi's soul completely shattered due to his sister Tsumiki's situation.The Attack on Yuji: Immediately after waking up in Megumi's body, Sukuna punches Yuji Itadori with massive force, sending him crashing through multiple buildings and knocking him out.A Monstrous Nue: Maki Zen'in and Takaba rush toward the scene. To halt them, Sukuna uses Megumi's Ten Shadows Technique to summon Nue. Fed by Sukuna's immense cursed energy, Nue appears as a colossal, monstrous beast that rains destructive lightning bolts over the area.The Trick on Hana & Angel: Hana Kurusu and Angel ambush Sukuna, unleashing the powerful purification technique Technique Extinguishment: Jacob’s Ladder. The radiant light heavily burns Sukuna, but the King of Curses deviously feigns that Megumi has regained control. Overcome by her feelings for Megumi, Hana stops the attack and runs to embrace him.The Cliffhanger: As Hana hugs him, Sukuna's mouth and head morph into a monstrous form, preparing to brutally devour her.

During the events leading up to the Shinjuku Showdown Arc (specifically in Chapter 213), Sukuna easily manipulated Hana Kurusu by weaponizing her romantic feelings for Megumi Fushiguro.Sukuna had just forcefully taken over Megumi's body. When Hana attacked him with Angel’s Jacob’s Ladder—a light-based technique capable of peeling Sukuna’s soul away from Megumi—Sukuna realized he could not defeat her head-on in that moment. Instead, he used psychological manipulation:The Fake Awakening: As the attack was tearing him apart, Sukuna deactivated his facial curse markings, altered his voice, and pretended that Megumi had successfully regained control of his body.The Emotional Bait: He called out to Hana, acting relieved and vulnerable.The Blunder: Because Hana had loved Megumi ever since he saved her when they were children, her judgment was blinded by joy. Despite Angel desperately warning her that it was a trap, Hana deactivated Jacob's Ladder and ran to embrace him.The Brutal ConsequenceThe moment Hana let her guard down and stepped into arms-reach, Sukuna’s malicious persona returned. He morphed his mouth to a massive size, bit off Hana's right arm, and tossed her off the roof of the building.How This Impacted the Shinjuku ShowdownThough Hana survived the fall, her missing arm severely crippled her ability to act as a proper vessel for Angel.

Hana Kurusu is a young jujutsu sorcerer and a player in the Culling Game. She shares her body with Angel, an ancient sorcerer reincarnated into the modern era. Hana is deeply devoted to Angel and considers her a close companion rather than simply another presence inside her body. Her life changes after meeting Megumi Fushiguro, whom she recognizes as the person who saved her when she was a child and develops strong feelings for him.
Appearance: Hana is a teenage girl with fair skin, shoulder-length light brown hair, and large hazel-brown eyes. Her hair is usually parted to the side, with a few strands framing her face. She wears a modified Tokyo Jujutsu High uniform consisting of a dark jacket, skirt, and stockings. After awakening her abilities, she develops a distinctive halo-like ring above her head when Angel manifests. Her gentle expression and soft features contrast with the enormous power of the technique she possesses.
Personality: Hana is kind, compassionate, and idealistic. She strongly believes in helping others and is willing to risk herself to save people, even during the deadly Culling Game. She can also be emotional and impulsive, particularly when Megumi is involved. Her affection for him sometimes causes her to act recklessly, but her intentions are genuinely selfless. Hana is trusting and innocent compared with many experienced sorcerers, yet she possesses considerable courage and determination when protecting someone she cares about.
Abilities: Hana's body is inhabited by Angel, an ancient sorcerer whose Innate Technique is Technique Extinguishment. Angel can completely nullify cursed techniques, including barriers, cursed objects, and even the effects of other techniques. Her most powerful attack, Jacob's Ladder, manifests as a massive pillar of divine light capable of extinguishing cursed techniques and damaging reincarnated sorcerers. Hana can also manifest Angel's wings and halo, allowing her to fly.
