Ladies and gentlemen, Yuji Itadori’s domain expansion finally seems to be here! Just now, a new image of the JJK chapter 264 manga panel leak is circulating on Twitter and Reddit like wildfire.
Well, why wouldn’t it be? It shows our boy Yuji Itadori doing a hand sign while recalling what appears to be an absolute hit lesson in the domain expansion from none other than Gojo Satoru.
AND ANY CURSED TECHNIQUE THAT IS APPLIED TO A DOMAIN ALWAYS HITS THE OPPONENT!!

YUJI USES DOMAIN EXPANSION ON SUKUNA!!!! #JJKSpoilers #JJK264pic.twitter.com/MbNfbsRBA5
Although several fan theories about Yuji’s domain have been around for almost a year now, it’s the first time that the manga panel has shown Yuji with clear signs of being able to pull off a domain expansion.
With that, fans are now expecting the ultimate end of the demon Sukuna at the hands of the protagonist Yuji Itadori, surpassing his sensei Gojo.
Itadori Yuji’s inner domain seems to be a subway station, not the airport!
According to the manga panel leaks, the image of Yuji doing a hand sign is on page 17 of JJK chapter 264. While the official Japanese translation is not available, its loosely translated version means, “Cursed techniques imbued within a domain… are guaranteed to hit.”
It seems that it is a recollection of Gojo explaining how the domain expansion works. Yuji goes on to say, “Domain Expansion,” while making the hand sign with his finger. Yes, that finger!

Then, the supposed nineteenth and twentieth page of the manga panel shows Yuji and Sukuna in an uncharted domain that looks like a train or subway station. While some fans called it the airport, it looks more like a typical train or subway station in Japan.
Lastly, the editor’s note on the page goes like this, “This decisive 1-on-1 heads into an uncharted domain!”
Currently, there are several images of the JJK 264 manga panels all over social platforms and discussion forums, so it is pretty hard to tell which one is real or fake.
Regardless of the surrounding ambiguity, one JJK fan who goes by username @BIGDADDYGOJO in X (formerly Twitter), in particular, even tweeted a plausible theory that carved a way for Gojo’s revival.
SUKUNA IS AT AN UNKNOWN STATION & HE'S CURRENTLY IN YUJIKUNA FORM!!! #JJK264

YUJI APPROACHES HIM AND SAYS:
“LET'S GO!! SUKUNA!!” #JJKSpoilerspic.twitter.com/jrJNdAfx5d
According to him, Gojo’s inner domain was the airport, so his soul must still be within his body, just like Sukuna and Yuji’s souls resided inside Yuji’s dead body for over 24 hours. At the time, their souls survived inside Sukuna’s own inner domain and his binding vow with Yuji.
So, he came up with a theory that Gojo might return by making a binding vow from his own inner domain, sacrificing one of the six eyes, which in turn justifies the one-eye foreshadowing. That’s crazy, right?
Additional Information
- With the hint of Yuji’s domain, fans are now expecting the grand ending of Sukuna, as many are saying, “It’s over for Sukuna bro.”
- The name and nature of Yuji’s domain expansion are not official, but according to several fan theories, he might have a domain that excels at blood manipulation techniques.
