Jujutsu Kaisen 266 Spoilers
With the Weekly Shonen Jump break over, fans are excited for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266, where it looks like Yuji and Sukuna will finally clash. While there are no confirmed spoilers yet, fans expect the fight to begin based on Chapter 265.
In the upcoming chapter, Yuji might start by preparing to fight Sukuna, possibly feeling he can no longer save him. Sukuna will likely taunt Yuji about his threats, but he might also realize he's not in the best position to assert his dominance.
Yuji could get the first strike, but since he's not fully confident in his Domain Expansion, he might need to rely on physical attacks as well. Sukuna will probably try to stay distant and find a way to break Yuji’s barrier.
There’s a chance Sukuna will reveal he's unable to make more Binding Vows, which could provide more details on what they are. The chapter might end with Yuji tricking Sukuna and using his Domain’s Guaranteed Hit feature.

They also have an archery contest, where Sukuna shows his superior skill.
Yuji tells a story about being disappointed by Santa Claus as a child, which frustrates Sukuna.
