Chapter 204

Blood and Oil, Part 3 (と③) is the two hundredth and fourth chapter of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary
Choso receives a helpful push to continue his battle with Kenjaku. With reignited vigor and inspiration from his siblings, Choso displays a new array of abilities and the determination to fulfill his role as a big brother.

Plot Details
Imaginary constructs of Choso's younger brothers push him forward and spur him back into action. With each of his younger brothers encouraging him, Choso yells out that he's got this and fires another Piercing Blood at their father. As he ducks underneath the blood beam, Kenjaku states that Piercing Blood's initial release is its top speed and doesn't need to be feared otherwise. Choso swipes the beam across the ground and tears it apart. Kenjaku avoids the destruction and backs off just as three more blood beams suddenly appear to his rear.

Kenjaku recognizes Choso's new attack as an imitation of Eso's Wing King technique. He rides atop flying cursed spirits and avoids the beams. Choso closes the distance and the two fighters exchange blows at close range. Choso fires more blood beams from the Wings on his back while they're clashing. Kenjaku backflips and uses curses to protect him from the beams. The disappearing cursed spirits also serve as a smokescreen for Kenjaku, allowing him to land a surprise attack using curses to charge through the smoke. Choso destroys them using his blood while Kenjaku retreats to relax on a tree.

Choso's father tells him that using Wing King is pointless because it's slower than Piercing Blood and the poison won't affect him. The eldest brother replies that he must fight with grace like Eso as he prepares his next move. He adds that he must fight freely like Kechizu, separating his hand from his left arm using a long stream of blood to keep them connected. Choso grabs Kenjaku from a distance and swings his father around before driving his head into the ground with a powerful right hook, completing his combo by stating he must fight with power like Yuji.

A cursed spirit protects Kenjaku's face from any damage and with contemptible disinterest, asks if Choso is finished. Choso replies with taunts of his own and activates Wing King again, forcing Kenjaku to retreat from under him. The curse user repeats that it's useless but Choso uses Wing King's tracking ability as a canal for transporting compressed blood. Choso sends several beads of compressed blood at Kenjaku, even taking the veteran curse user by surprise. Choso activates Supernova from all directions but Kenjaku is somehow left unscathed. At first, Choso believes he might of misfired, but he quickly realizes that Kenjaku used a cursed technique other than Cursed Spirit Manipulation to achieve this.

Thrilled with Choso's performance, Yuki enters the barrier and despite being an only child, says good work, big brother.
