okay, so let me see if i got this right (very long synopsis of everyone's current state in jjk in no chronological order, MAD SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY):
-> initial rules the gang is trying to make happen in the culling game, for reference. 2 has already been completed. 3 is now able to be done w/out the rule (not implement by maki zenin), find out more about that later. 4 still imperatively needs to happen
megumi, itadori, and co have found the angel who can remove cursed techniques. she's the same deal as sukuna where there's thing thing residing in her (a species called "God".) the angel agrees to unseal gojo in exchange for the gang helping her destroy the cursed spirit known as "the fallen." the fallen is sukuna, aka itadori. kill itadori and sukuna = free gojo
itadori is totally chill with this plan and as soon as all the rules they are trying to implement in the culling game (to save megumi's sister and other citizens) have been passed is totally willing to kill himself to unseal gojo bc he's self-sacrificing like that. the angel DOES NOT know he is sukuna yet. itadori is keeping that a secret for now
megumi is NOT chill with this plan bc he explicitly does not want itadori to die and that has been established as a primary motive for him for the past oh, i don't know, 209 chapters.
the gang (not just itadori megumi and co, the gang scattered all across the centers collectively) has enough points (400+) to implement all their rules
megumi knows itadori will absolutely take the big sleep if given the opportunity, it is assumed he's going to try and prevent that
tengen IS EVOLVING. kenjaku did his whole crazy fight thing with choso and tsukumo and came out on top, just barely. mofo managed to escape a black hole. kenjaku managed to get into the star mergy chamber thing where real tengen resides to force tengen to evolve into something less sorcerer and more cursed spirit. he did this to aid his plan to make a lot of non-sorcerers cursed spirits instead so he can create some machiavellian cthulu like terror shit by merging tengen w all these cursed spirits
tsukumo's cursed technique, mass, is revealed. she dies trying to defeat kenjaku (also becomes black hole temporarily)
kenjaku confirms itadori's mother was a sorcerer with an anti-gravity jujutsu technique.
kenjaku geto itadori's mom og kamo noritoshi weirdo thing has involved the united states military in this whole ordeal by revealing the world of cursed spirits to the president. the us military take this as tengen doing them and the world a favor by presenting them a clean, renewable energy source through jujutsu sorcerers, who are by majaority japanese. the us is racist and corrupt and decides to kidnap japanese people who have cursed energy to expirement on. they willingly enter the culling game centers to do so.
the latest chapter (i can find at least), 209, ends with megumi itadori and co running into the us military and megumi realizing they are NOT here to save citizens. megumi wants to know wtf is up
relating back to the last point, tengen is actually using the culling game and exploiting these us military people to speed up the culling game's progress, creating a manifest of cursed energy powerful enough to create machiavellian tengen cthulu like thing as previously mentioned. not clear on how the military is doing that or helping tengen's plan at all but tengen used that same logic of concentrated cursed energy to incentivize them to start kidnapping sorcerers.
hakari and panda team up with lighting boy (hajime koshimo, a reincarnation) and manga boy (charles bernard) after hakari manages to absolutely decimate them both in fights using his weird manga lottery technique (don't even ask.) HAJIME KOSHIMO ALSO WANTS TO KILL SUKUNA. this group of individuals is off to do that, ig??? panda and hakari still have allegiance to the itadori megumi and co tho
note that both the angel and hajime koshimo want sukuna dead.
maki embraces her new toji lifestyle, her and noritoshi (present day, cool noritoshi yk the one that wants to be the kamo head whatever with the blood technique, NOT kenjaku) team up. they fight the cursed spirit version of naoya zenin bc maki's mom killed him without using cursed energy. APPARENTLY the rules in jjk is that you should always kill a jujutso sorcerer w cursed energy otherwise they will def come back as a disgusting looking cursed sprit
maki and noritoshi (who got a hairstle upgrade btw) run into sword guy and sumo guy who help them defeat naoya. their names are atsuya kusakabe and rokujushi miyo, respectively.
maki, now with a physicality equivalent to that of toji fushiguro, can enter and exit culling game borders willingly, removing the need for that rule to happen before the gang can rescue megumi's sis and save the world and stuff. witch girl from tokyo school knows that, somehow? her names momo nishimiya. she tells hakari this information, but megumi itadori and co does not know yet as of chapter 209
this group of cavaliers is off to regroup w the rest of the bros, i'm pretty sure
yuuta went off and proved his mettle in sendai city against the 4 pillars (reincarnated cursed spirits and sorcerers) that had the most points in the culling center. he gained 200 points with that whole ordeal, and is now off to regroup with the others i think. he left 2 pillars alive, sky girl and cannon dude.
yuuta's in it to kill kenjaku b4 gojo gets unsealed so he doesn't have to put his teacher through the pain of killing his best friend again
