Jujutsu Kaisen kills off one more character in front of Yuji, forcing him to relive the trauma of losing someone precious to him. Here’s everything you need to know.
Although Jujutsu Kaisen manga is in its final stretch, Gege Akutami continues to use every opportunity to make Yuji suffer. The young kid already had a death sentence before joining Jujutsu Tech High School. However, that was only the beginning of the tragedy.
After dying once, facing countless near-death experiences, and losing almost everyone he cares about, Yuji has come a long way. He suffered the most in the Shibuya Incident arc, even to the point of questioning his existence.
Yuji’s breakdown is one of the most heart-wrenching moments in the series. Sadly, things only continue to spiral downward afterward. What’s worse, Yuji doesn’t even have enough time to heal before he once again puts his life on the line against the King of Curses. Delve deeper to find out which character dies in Jujutsu Kaisen. Warning: This article contains spoilers from Chapter 247!
Which Jujutsu Kaisen character dies in front of Yuji in Chapter 247?
Hiromi Higuruma dies in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 247, entrusting everything to Yuji.

From Higuruma’s expression to his final words, everything parallels Kento Nanami’s death. What’s more, after Higuruma’s death, Yuji again reassures himself of being a Jujutsu sorcerer, the same way he did in Chapter 121.
Unlike Nanami’s death, Higurma’s sacrifice was planned from the beginning. However, that doesn’t mean Yuji can simply accept that. Watching Higurma take his final breath, Yuji remembers Nanami’s final moments, which are clearly shown in the chapter.

Nanami dies tragically in the Shibuya Incident arc. Considering how much Yuji admired him, his death was a major blow to him. Yuji was even unable to keep his cool after watching Nanami blow up to bits. However, the same thing happens in front of him. The only difference is that the stakes are too high this time.
Whether it’s Gojo or Higuruma, Yuji doesn’t have the luxury to mourn them. As a Jujutsu sorcerer, his priority is to stop the King of Curses, regardless of how many die in the process.
