After the shocking conclusion of Fumihiko Takaba versus Kenjaku in the previous issue, fans of mangaka Gege Akutami’s series are eagerly anticipating the release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244. Especially intriguing are Kenjaku’s foreboding words at the end of the last chapter, hinting at the introduction of another character who will further his goals. Unfortunately, there are no confirmed spoilers for the upcoming chapter at this time. However, readers can expect them to become available within the next 48 hours, as Akutami is not taking a break before the next issue’s release.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 likely to take one of three distinct routes, but events following are ambiguous
Similarly, there are several broad speculations about the direction of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 that fans can anticipate even in the absence of any leaked information. Nevertheless, it remains anyone’s speculation as to Akutami's next move, implying that these speculations are more like "possible scenarios" rather than definite predictions regarding the focus of the chapter.
Major spoilers to expect
After Kenjaku’s defeat in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244, there are three major narrative options: stick with Kenjaku, Takaba, and Yuta Okkotsu, switch to Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma versus Ryomen Sukuna, or introduce an entirely new perspective. The last option is arguably the most interesting, especially considering Kenjaku’s mention of a hidden ally upon his defeat at the hands of Okkotsu and Takaba.
Given this, a shift in perspective would likely be intended to reveal the identity of Kenjaku’s hidden ally. However, the outcome of this development is uncertain, as it depends on who the hidden ally is. Fans can anticipate a brief focus on this unnamed individual to establish their motivations for working with Kenjaku and their ultimate goals.
The other two paths, while less captivating, are also easier to predict if Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 chooses to focus on them. For instance, if the story continues with Kenjaku and Co., we may see Kenjaku dropping hints about his ally. This could be the main focus of the first half of the chapter, with the second half revealing the identity of this accomplice.
If this is not the case, the story would likely shift its focus to Kenjaku, showing Okkotsu and Takaba briefly conversing with him before officially attempting to kill him. The method of killing Kenjaku is uncertain due to his ability to transfer his brain between bodies, but a solution may be proposed. The chapter may end with a hint that Okkotsu has copied one or more of Kenjaku's Cursed Techniques through Rika.
The third option for the narrative focus in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 is to return to Yuji and Higuruma's fight against Sukuna. It is unclear whether the story will pick up in the middle of the battle or start from the beginning, as this battle has been happening at the same time as Kenjaku and Takaba's.
Regardless of the outcome, the focus will likely shift back to this battle in the upcoming issue and subsequent releases. This fight is highly anticipated in the series, especially with the hint of Yuji's Cursed Technique being unveiled at the beginning. Hopefully, Akutami will reward readers' patience with a flashback to the beginning of their fight, dedicating the next installment exclusively to it.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm eagerly anticipating the release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244. The series has been on a roll lately, and I can't wait to see what Gege Akutami has in store for us next.
Based on the目前的剧情, I think there are three possible directions that the story could go in. The first possibility is that we'll continue to follow Fumihiko Takaba and Kenjaku as they try to track down Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma. The second possibility is that we'll switch back to Yuji and Higuruma's fight against Ryomen Sukuna. The third possibility is that we'll be introduced to a new character or storyline.
Personally, I'm hoping that we'll get to see more of Yuji and Higuruma's fight against Sukuna. This fight has been teased for a long time, and I'm excited to see how it plays out. I'm also curious to learn more about Sukuna's powers and motivations.
No matter what happens in chapter 244, I'm sure it will be another exciting installment in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. I can't wait to read it!
