Chapter 199 of Jujutsu Kaisen got off to a good start as Yuji and Megumi got back together. Things started to deteriorate, though, once the Angel mentioned their position in the Culling Game and their requirements for releasing Gojo from the Prison Realm. At the end of the chapter, Sukuna called Yuji “The Fallen” and pulled him into his natural realm.

Sukuna declares that he is the player they must kill in order to save Gojo in the opening of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 200, titled “Direct Talks, Part 1.” Megumi shouts out Yuji’s name and inquires as to his well-being while he is still processing this new knowledge.
Yuji responds that he’s not feeling well and requests that Hana take his position so that he can rest down on the couch. He starts making gestures toward Megumi, indicating that Sukuna is the player that needs to be killed in order for the Angel to save Gojo.
Megumi is initially perplexed but quickly makes the connection when she realizes that he moved to hide from Hana’s view. Megumi becomes concerned that Yuji would try to kill himself after learning that Sukuna is the Angel’s intended victim.
Yuji wonders why Sukuna stopped him from telling the Angel who he is because he believes they must be able to exorcise the King of Curses permanently.
Yuji comes to the conclusion that dying will be a small price to pay to bring back Gojo and wipe out a significant portion of Sukuna. He makes the decision that he will pass away as soon as the others follow the guidelines needed to save Tsumiki.

The Angel interrupts again, saying that it is strange how several new players suddenly entered the colony, putting an end to Yuji and Megumi’s daydreams. Megumi asks the Angel if they are capable of sensing such things, and the Angel responds that the Kogane are.
The Kogane in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 200 reveals that there are currently 807 players in the Culling Game, and that number is growing every minute. This shocks everyone, including Yuji, Megumi, Takaba, and even Hana, making the situation with Sukuna a secondary concern.

Chapter 200 of Jujutsu Kaisen then shifts to a flashback of early February 2018 events. The U.S. President and his advisors are shown discussing with Kenjaku and Uraume, who explain the existence of cursed energy and how it is almost exclusively practiced by the Japanese, with very few sorcerers outside of Japan.
Kenjaku provides in-depth explanations of how a steady flow of cursed energy escapes from Japanese people and accumulates to form the monsters known as cursed spirits. He continues by defining jujutsu sorcerers as people who have the ability to channel and utilise cursed energy to accomplish extraordinary deeds.
Uraume gives authorities glasses filled with cursed energy, such like the ones Maki previously required to see cursed spirits and energy. The President assumes that the vision provided by the glasses, which depict an office filled with insect-like cursed spirits, is an illusion produced by AR or VR technology.
Cursed energy as a resource

The last part of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 200 has a lot of information. Cyrus Veil, the undersecretary of the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environment, has come to understand the value of cursed energy as a result. The cursed spirits are then banished by Kenjaku and Uraume after reassuring them of their good intentions.
They start by explaining how cursed spirits and Cursed Techniques are typically difficult to see with the human eye, but they claim to have video footage of a puppet’s vision that was captured utilizing jujutsu technology. The panel explains that they used equipment belonged to the recently dead Kokichi Muta to record events from Shibuya.
They give the officials a glimpse of Sukuna, Gojo, Nanami, and Todo’s skills by showing them the video. The President makes light of the lack of Imax. The undersecretary claims that cursed energy, which might displace fossil fuels and other more expensive renewable energy sources, has the potential to become the cleanest energy source in human history.

The under-secretary emphasizes that Gojo is endowed with enough cursed energy to run a whole nation. The Under-Secretary responds that this is a ludicrous chance that they must pass up after the President dismisses it as silly. He emphasizes that in order to avoid slipping behind the rest of the world, they must perform research and grasp this source as quickly as feasible.
Kenjaku ultimately lays his cards on the table in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 200. He tells them that all jujutsu practitioners would be required to gather for a rite in November when Tokyo will come to a complete standstill.
When the President learns of Kenjaku’s alarming plan at the end of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 200, he demands to know if the latter wants him to kidnap Japanese citizens and use them as study subjects.

A significant political power play is introduced in the series’ Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 200. The sudden appearance of the new players raises the possibility that the governments of the United States and China have teamed up with Kenjaku to send agents to Tokyo in order to apprehend jujutsu sorcerers.
As a result of Nanami’s death and Todo’s irreversible loss of his Cursed Technique, Gojo and Sukuna are clearly identified as the main targets in the Shibuya video. This will probably put Yuji on the invaders’ radar and make Gojo’s rescue more challenging.
