Chapter 242 recap
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 243, Kenjaku's previous remarks to Takaba regarding his material could give him an advantage. These comments may play a significant role in determining the outcome of the story. MAPPA Studios provided the accompanying image for illustration.
Chapter 242 of Jujutsu Kaisen began with Kenjaku summoning a Special Grade Cursed Spirit. However, Takaba unintentionally ran over the spirit with a truck. In an unexpected twist, Kenjaku then assumed the role of a police officer and asked Takaba to perform a breathalyzer test using a bag containing a goldfish. Unfortunately, the goldfish was already deceased. As a result, Takaba and Kenjaku transformed into a doctor-nurse duo, trying unsuccessfully to resuscitate the fish within a hospital setting.
Kenjaku finally understood Takaba's Comedian Cursed Technique as they found themselves in a gameshow-like scenario. After a series of questions, the scene transitioned to Takaba's attempt to rescue a cat from being hit by a car. However, it was revealed that the cat was actually Kenjaku, who retaliated by kicking Takaba into the vehicle. This was followed by a new scene where Takaba transformed into a drowning cat in the ocean, with Kenjaku attempting to save him.
Suddenly, Takaba reappeared behind Kenjaku on a jetski and intentionally ran him over, leading to both of them playing in the ocean. Kenjaku expressed how much fun he was having while trying to drown Takaba, but became distracted by his own enjoyment, acknowledging that he was losing due to the damage he was inflicting on himself through these simulations. The chapter concluded with Kenjaku arranging a final comedic showdown, signaling the end of their fight.
What to expect (speculative)
In the final stages of their fight, with Kenjaku and Takaba, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 243 is expected to begin by showcasing their comedic performance, highlighting the key to winning within the context of their act. It is likely that the winner will be determined by who can make the audience laugh more, satisfying Takaba's comedic aspirations.
Additionally, in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 243, Takaba will likely be compelled to explore new content and performance styles, especially after receiving criticism from Kenjaku. This decision may prove to be his downfall, particularly because the circumstances they find themselves in are a direct consequence of Takaba's own Cursed Technique. In other words, if he forces himself to deliver material that he doesn't consider amusing, it may lead to his defeat against Kenjaku.

Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of the Jujutsu Kaisen series, I eagerly await the release of chapter 243. The upcoming showdown between Takaba and Kenjaku promises to be a thrilling display of their respective abilities and techniques. Takaba's Comedian Cursed Technique adds an unpredictable and humorous element to the fight, making it even more exciting to see how he will use it to counter Kenjaku's powerful Cursed Techniques.
The previous chapter left us with Kenjaku acknowledging that he was losing due to the damage he was inflicting on himself through the simulations created by Takaba's technique. This suggests that Takaba may have the upper hand in this battle, and I am eager to see how he will exploit Kenjaku's weakness to secure victory. Overall, I have high expectations for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 243 and believe it will be a pivotal moment in the ongoing story arc.
