Chapter 243 recap
Fans are left uncertain of what to anticipate in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 following Kenjaku's apparent defeat by Yuta Okkotsu. In chapter 243, Fumihiko Takaba and Kenjaku commenced their "comedy set" as the culmination of their battle. They started with a skit about helping friends move, then transitioned into the story of Momotaro. Kenjaku's initial feigned ignorance set the stage for their comedic riffing on the traditional Momotaro tale.
After the events in the Momotaro story, Kenjaku pretended to discover a Golden Retriever dog instead of a Shiba Inu or another Japanese breed. They proceeded to impersonate a phone call with the dog's owner and debated whether to cancel Momotaro's original journey or just send the monkey and the pheasant to fight. This led to a humorous moment where Kenjaku fired the pheasant so the dog's owner wouldn't "quail" with worry, earning a positive reaction from the audience.
Takaba then expressed his disappointment at how his dream performance had to end, even mentioning that he'd miss Kenjaku's groupies in the audience. He voiced his desire for the fun to continue and started crying, bringing their "comedy show" to an end. Takaba thanked Kenjaku, and in response, Kenjaku mentioned that Takaba had amused him right before Yuta Okkotsu suddenly appeared and beheaded Kenjaku. The chapter concluded with Kenjaku vowing that his legacy would live on through another.
What to expect (speculative)
Following the apparent defeat of Kenjaku in the previous release, the opening moments of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 244 present something of a mystery. Author and illustrator Gege Akutami could continue to focus on Kenjaku and Takaba in the present, or alternatively, return to Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma versus Ryomen Sukuna. Another possibility is the exploration of Kenjaku's backstory and the revelation of his "successor." Regardless, the chapter is likely to take one of these three routes based on what fans currently know.

Editor's P/S
As a die-hard fan of the Jujutsu Kaisen series, I eagerly await the release of chapter 244. The previous chapter left us with a captivating cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. Will Yuji, Higuruma, and Sukuna finally confront each other in an epic showdown? Or will we delve deeper into Kenjaku's mysterious past and discover his true intentions? The possibilities are endless, and I'm excited to find out what Gege Akutami has in store for us.
The series has consistently impressed me with its intricate plot, compelling characters, and stunning artwork. Akutami's ability to blend action, comedy, and drama seamlessly is truly remarkable. The fight scenes are some of the best I've seen in any manga, and the character development is second to none. I'm particularly invested in Yuji's journey as he struggles to control the immense power of Sukuna while staying true to his own ideals.
