Yuta confronts Kenjaku as Takaba's battle concludes in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 243 spoilers

In the previous chapter, Takaba and Kenjaku engaged in a relentless battle across a series of surreal simulations. Kenjaku discovered that Takaba’s Cursed Technique was Soul resonance, granting him the ability to not only manifest his own imagination and force others to partake in it but also infiltrate their thoughts to manipulate their imaginations. He then challenged Takaba to a "joke-off" on stage in a bid to bring their battle to a definitive conclusion.

According to the spoilers, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 243 is titled “Foolish Survivor – Be too noisy (さんざめけ).”

Chapter 243 of Jujutsu Kaisen opens with Kenjaku and Takaba taking the stage, engaging in a series of odd conversations. Kenjaku inquires about Takaba's availability on Wednesday, only to be told that he has to assist with a move. Kenjaku introduces themselves as Pinch and Chance, but Takaba corrects him and reveals his true name.

Takaba tries to crack a joke about Momotaro (Peach Boy), but Kenjaku counters by mentioning that he didn't have a father and therefore didn't know the story. He explains that he was raised by his kind mother, who never made him feel the absence of his father, often telling him stories like Momotaro. Takaba soon realizes that Kenjaku actually did know the story and had cleverly derailed his joke with his own anecdote.

Subsequently, Takaba and Kenjaku proceed to act out the segment where Momotaro bids farewell to his grandparents to embark on an adventure. However, Kenjaku's mature jokes, which differ from what Takaba is accustomed to, diminish the impact of his punchlines. Nevertheless, to the audience, the series of immensely unrelated and peculiar exchanges may be highly amusing.

However, Takaba soon begins to feel more and more despondent, expressing his sadness about the impending conclusion of their show. It becomes evident that this was Takaba's dream show, and he becomes emotional at the prospect of it coming to an end. Kenjaku comforts him as he falls apart. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 243 spoilers reveal a return to reality, with Takaba wearing the attire of the deceased (complete with the familiar white spirit headband). He expresses gratitude to Kenjaku, who responds by telling him how absurdly funny he is.

Suddenly, Yuta appears behind Kenjaku and slashes his throat. Kenjaku realizes that Takaba has made Yuta's high Cursed Energy output invisible. Despite his use of Anti-Gravity, Kenjaku’s head is sliced clean off. When he asks, Yuta confirms that this was the plan since Takaba can’t kill. Kenjaku expresses regret at being so close, but believes someone else will inherit his will.

Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 243 do not confirm Kenjaku's death or the usability of Geto’s body, but strongly imply it. According to the spoilers, there will be no break next week and chapter 244 will be released as scheduled in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 53.
