After a break week, Jujutsu Kaisen made its highly anticipated return, continuing the thrilling Culling Game arc. Throughout this arc, readers have been treated to some of the series' most intense fights, making it a truly enjoyable experience for fans. In chapter 239, JJK surprised fans with several intriguing developments, the most significant of which was a shift in focus from Sukuna to Kenjaku.
Focus Away From Sukuna
After being the center of attention in the manga for the past few months, Sukuna takes a step back as the focus shifts back to Kenjaku. Despite the long absence, it seems that Kenjaku is about to engage in an intriguing battle.
Contrary to expectations, JJK chapter 239 deviated from focusing on Yuji's battle against Sukuna and instead directed attention towards Kenjaku. This sudden shift in the narrative took fans by surprise, particularly as the tension was building in Sukuna's confrontation. Fans eagerly anticipated the long-awaited clash between Yuji and Sukuna, with Higuruma joining the fray. Regrettably, the story took a detour to explore another aspect of the war, which, although unexpected, proved to be equally captivating. This new development in the story is just as enthralling as Sukuna's ongoing battle.
Gege has strategically saved the most thrilling fights for the end, with the current emphasis being on Kenjaku. It remains uncertain when the storyline will shift back to Sukuna, but for now, fans have plenty to enjoy, particularly the clash between intriguing characters like Kenjaku and Takaba.
It is highly likely that Sukuna will remain absent from JJK for an extended period. His battle will likely take center stage only after the confrontation between Kenjaku and Takaba reaches its conclusion. Considering the prolonged duration of battles in recent months, fans should anticipate the manga continuing to divert its attention away from Sukuna and Yuji for the following month.
Kenjaku In Action
Chapter 239 of JJK delved into Kenjaku and his fights. Initially, he encountered an unidentified character, a woman who questioned why she was brought back only to serve as a tool for Kenjaku's plans. Without hesitation, he swiftly disposed of her, emphasizing that she, along with all other participants in the Culling Game, held no significance to him. Kenjaku's sole focus lies in attaining his own goal, regardless of the cost. Gege's inclusion of this character was peculiar as she played a brief and unappreciated role in the story. However, the narrative swiftly shifted to Gojo, albeit not in the manner desired by the fans. Kenjaku watched a livestream showcasing Gojo's defeat, thoroughly enjoying witnessing the downfall of the most powerful sorcerer. He even made remarks about Gojo's appearance as he faced his demise.
Speculations arise among fans regarding Kenjaku's intentions for Gojo, with many anticipating the potential takeover of his body. However, given their physical distance and the numerous advantages afforded by Geto's body through Cursed Spirit Manipulation, it is unlikely that this will happen anytime soon.
Hazenoki Wiped Out
Chapter 239 of Jujutsu Kaisen shifted its focus to Hazenoki, a character who had been relatively unimportant in the story recently. In this chapter, it became evident that Hazenoki would confront Kenjaku and engage in combat. Despite attempts at negotiation, Hazenoki refused to align with Kenjaku, leading to a fierce battle. Once again, fans witnessed the impressive power of Kenjaku's Cursed Spirit Manipulation. This ability proved too overwhelming for Hazenoki, who resorted to using his own special cursed technique involving his teeth to create a distraction and escape. However, this tactic was unsuccessful, resulting in Hazenoki suffering severe injuries and ultimate defeat. As the fight reached its conclusion, a new character named Takaba entered the scene. Though Takaba has not received much attention in the manga for a significant period of time, it is now his moment to shine. It is worth noting that fans recognize Takaba as a highly skilled individual, who, unbeknownst to himself, possesses a terrifying potential comparable to that of Gojo.
Takaba Vs Kenjaku
Following Takaba's entrance in Jujutsu Kaisen 239, it became evident that he would face off against Kenjaku. In fact, it was Kenjaku who initiated a powerful attack against Takaba, doubting his worthiness as an opponent. However, to everyone's surprise, Takaba remained largely unaffected by the assault, leaving even Kenjaku unsettled.
Takaba's ability to avoid damage was not solely due to his evasion skills. Even Kenjaku couldn't comprehend how the attack was deflected. Now prepared to give his all, Takaba is set to engage in a fierce clash against Kenjaku. Towards the chapter's conclusion, it becomes apparent that both fighters acknowledge each other, signaling an intense battle ahead. The upcoming chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen will likely center around this confrontation, piquing fans' curiosity as to who will emerge victorious. While Kenjaku, as a primary antagonist, is expected to lose, Takaba's unpredictable nature adds an element of uncertainty to the storyline. Only the author can provide the answers as the narrative unfolds. Fans can only hope for an exciting chapter in the following week.
Jujutsu Kaisen can be accessed through Viz Media for fans to read. The official and free platforms to enjoy the series are the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The upcoming chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 239, is scheduled to be released on October 22, 2023.
