Chapters 264 to 271, and the end of the run. It finishes the Shinjuku fight, resolves the arrangement made in Vol. 1, and closes on an epilogue. It is the last of the 31 books Viz published between 3 December 2019 and 12 May 2026. Season 3 does not reach it and season 4 has no date, so nothing on screen has shown any of it. The Complete Box Set also includes this book.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Sukuna is beaten in the domain Yuji traps him in, with Nobara returning from Vol. 15 to land the strike that lets Yuji separate Megumi's soul from his. The series ends by having its protagonist offer mercy to the thing that has used his body to kill, and by having that offer refused. This site's line from Yuji is sourced to chapter 268, inside that exchange, and it is the argument the whole run has been making: that the two of them were dealt the same hand and answered it differently. The epilogue chapters are quiet, and readers divide on whether they are earned or perfunctory. What is not in dispute is the shape: Akutami spent 271 chapters on a boy who swallowed a finger to save his friends and was told that made him a dead man, and the last chapter is titled 'From Now On'. The manga ended on 30 September 2024 with over 100 million copies in circulation.

Lines from this volume
Spoiler — from the ending. Tap to reveal.
“Sukuna, you are me. We were born with the burden of a curse, and the monster you became was up to luck.”
Put the strongest case against it first: this is the softest thing a protagonist has ever said to a mass murderer, and the case holds. Sukuna spends Shibuya killing on a scale the series never lets anyone forgive, and chance is a poor defense. What keeps the line off the sentiment pile is that it is not offered as one. Yuji is not pardoning him; he is refusing the single claim Sukuna has always rested on, that his appetite makes him another kind of thing entirely. The boy who has carried him since the first episode is the only witness qualified to deny it, and he does it while finishing the fight.
