In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 188, Hakari and Kashimo collide in a ferocious, lightning-fast battle that tears through a shipping yard. Their overwhelming strength is on full display as they hurl a massive freight container back and forth until it’s completely destroyed. Seizing an opening, Kashimo smashes Hakari with a chunk of the wreckage, brutally injuring his face and head.
Even so, Hakari’s reverse cursed technique instantly begins repairing the damage. Kashimo presses the advantage without hesitation, firing a lethal bolt of lightning directly into Hakari’s head and pushing him to the brink of death. Against all odds, Hakari survives—purging Kashimo’s cursed energy from his body and mocking him for failing to finish the fight.
With only eight seconds remaining in the round, Hakari dramatically increases his attack speed, overwhelming Kashimo and believing he has uncovered a flaw in Kashimo’s lightning-based techniques. Kashimo responds with deadly precision, wielding an electrified staff to unleash a devastating surge through Hakari’s lower abdomen, delivering a near-fatal blow.
As the round comes to an end, Hakari—barely alive—summons the last of his strength to activate his domain expansion once again, leaving Kashimo stunned by his unbreakable will and extraordinary command of jujutsu.
