In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 253, an unexpected battle unfolds as Atsuya Kusakabe challenges Ryomen Sukuna. Despite lacking a Cursed Technique, Kusakabe's proficiency with a blade and large Cursed Energy reserve make him a formidable opponent. His Anti-Domain Techniques and keen eye for assessing his adversaries give him an edge in combat. While interrupted before utilizing his Evening Moon Sword Drawing technique, Kusakabe's physical prowess and hand-to-hand combat skills make him a worthy contender against Sukuna.

With other sorcerers incapacitated, the fate of the world now rests on Kusakabe's shoulders. This unique face-off adds anticipation and excitement to the series, with Kusakabe potentially forcing Sukuna to reassess his threat level. As the strongest Grade 1 Sorcerer, Kusakabe's serious demeanor may lead to unpredictable outcomes in the ongoing battle.
