Before this astonishing moment, Maki boldly entered the fray, catching the Demon King off guard with her ferocity. Their exchange of blows has been compared to the legendary Divine General Mahoraga.

Analysis of the deployment of black lightning in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 253
The recent Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 253 spoilers shed light on Sukuna’s strategic prowess, revealing that he is still navigating the battlefield carefully.
The unexpected deployment of Black Flash reveals the depth of his abilities, suggesting he may have more tricks up his sleeve than originally thought. After all, mastering Black Lightning requires an exceptional level of concentration, a feat that only a select few wizards can achieve.
For the uninitiated, performing Black Lightning requires precise timing, with the user channeling the cursed energy within a fraction of a second of impact. This creates a distinctive black light, hence the name of the technique. Notably, it increases the destructive power of a physical attack by 2.5 times.
We’ve seen glimpses of this formidable technique in action before. Yuji Itadori demonstrated its potential during his partnership with Todo Aoi against Hanami, achieving a state of intense concentration that Nanami aptly described as “The Zone.” Mahito also demonstrated his powers during the Shibuya Incident, albeit after experiencing its devastating effects firsthand.
Given Sukuna’s mastery of jujutsu magic, his ability to use Black Lightning isn’t entirely surprising. However, its sudden appearance raised eyebrows, indicating a calculated move on his part.
According to the spoilers for Chapter 253, it looks like Sukuna’s Black Lightning has found its mark, with the focus shifting to Atsuya Kusakabe.
Perhaps Maki was incapacitated or unable to continue the fight, leaving the swordsman as the last line of defense amid the chaos. With Yuta injured and escorted away by Ui Ui, Choso sidelined and Mei Mei refusing to intervene, Kusakabe becomes the last bastion against Sukuna’s onslaught.
