Jujutsu Kaisen has had an impressive streak in recent months, and this week's chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen 238, continued the trend. As anticipated, Sukuna played a significant role in this chapter. In the previous chapter's finale, he reverted to his true form, leaving fans with the anticipation that he would be stronger than ever.

Kashimo, his opponent in the battle, had no chance of survival as evident from the expectations of fans, who were aware that his demise would occur in the subsequent chapter. JJK 238 adhered to this prediction, but not without introducing several captivating surprises and detours.

Sukuna's True Form In Full Force

The true form of Sukuna, fully unleashed, was revealed in chapter 238 of Jujutsu Kaisen. Fans were already aware of his immense power, but the extent of his unstoppable strength became clear only in this chapter. Kashimo, who had proven to be a formidable opponent in the previous chapter, was left mesmerized by Sukuna's transformation. In fact, Kashimo was in awe and described Sukuna's new form as "beautiful." Sukuna displayed flawless fighting skills with no weaknesses whatsoever.

The story clearly depicted Sukuna as the epitome of Jujutsu Sorcery. Sukuna utilized his body with remarkable finesse, employing two of his four hands and one of his mouths to simultaneously chant incantations and engage in combat. This provided a significant advantage to Sukuna, as these incantations amplified the force of his attacks. Consequently, all of Sukuna's strikes were executed at maximum potency, rendering them virtually insurmountable.

Moreover, Sukuna's speed and strength in this particular chapter transcended all previously established levels, overpowering even Kashimo with his lightning-based abilities. Sukuna deftly occupied Kashimo's attention with two hands, while exploiting the remaining two to deliver devastating blows. Kashimo found himself utterly incapable of retaliating or inflicting so much as a scratch on the real Sukuna. As the situation deteriorated for him, Kashimo swiftly comprehended the futility of the battle, resigning himself to an inevitable defeat and rendering further engagement pointless.

The End Of Kashimo

In this chapter, Sukuna unleashed his cursed technique at its maximum potential. Utilizing techniques like Dismantle, he displayed immense power by slicing the world itself. This was the same attack that had previously defeated Gojo Satoru, making Kashimo's ability to dodge it rather peculiar considering Gojo's Six Eyes. Nevertheless, the intense battle between these two characters raged on, with Sukuna demonstrating the advantage of his additional pair of hands and mouths.

Sukuna's relentless onslaught continued with astonishing speed and ferocity. Despite Kashimo's best efforts to retaliate with all his might, his strongest cursed technique, which exacted a toll on his own body, proved futile against the King of Curses. Just as he prepared to strike back, Sukuna swiftly ended his life by unleashing a web of Dismantle upon him, sealing his fate.

In addition to the main event, fans were delighted to witness a fascinating encounter between Kashimo and Sukuna, where they engaged in a thought-provoking conversation. Kashimo had burning questions about love and the experience of being the most powerful, while grappling with the accompanying loneliness. In response, Sukuna revealed that his version of love was granting people their desires. For instance, when someone challenged Kashimo to a battle, Sukuna would not hesitate to defeat them, almost as a gesture of respect.

Similarly, Sukuna remained unfazed when confronted by challengers, believing that his strength earned him admiration and love from others. Nonetheless, he refused to compromise his autonomy for the sake of another person, considering love as entirely pointless. Sukuna lived by his own desires, timing, and methods. Undoubtedly, this belief system was flawed, and eventually, the series' protagonist would come to challenge this ideology. However, in the meantime, Sukuna had made significant strides with his unconventional philosophy, showcasing his respect for Kashimo by granting him the answers he sought before their fateful encounter.

Hakari And Uraume Fight It Out

JJK chapter 238 primarily focused on the anticipated battle between Sukuna and Kashimo. However, this confrontation was resolved fairly quickly. After their meeting concluded and Kashimo received the answers he sought from Sukuna, the story shifted back to the present time. The domain created by Hakari in the previous chapter was observed crumbling. Fans are aware that Hakari had trapped Uraume in this domain in order to prevent their interference in Kashimo's fight. Hakari respected the significance of Sukuna's battle to Kashimo, particularly considering their previous encounter. As a gesture of respect, Hakari ensured that Uraume would not join in the confrontation against Kashimo, and it is evident that he succeeded in this regard.

By the end of the chapter, the domain shattered, and both Kashimo and Uraume appeared to be in good condition. From this point forward, it is expected that these two characters will engage in an exciting clash, which fans eagerly anticipate.

Yuji And Higuruma Jump In

The climax of JJK chapter 238 arrived in the final moments, as Yuji and Higuruma leaped into battle. It had taken them a considerable amount of time to reach the battlefield, but better late than never. Sukuna had grossly underestimated Yuji, aware of his powerlessness before him. However, it seems that Yuji is consumed by his own anger, which is perfectly understandable considering he recently lost two of the people closest to him within minutes. Gojo has already perished, and Megumi is no longer present. This has intensified his fury, and now it seems that his cursed technique may have awakened.

Simultaneously, Higuruma is determined to bring justice to those who have suffered at Sukuna's hands by putting him on trial. The upcoming chapters promise to be extraordinary, with the formation of a tag team battle. Sukuna and Uraume will face off against Yuji, Higuruma, and Hakari, a matchup that fans are eagerly anticipating.
