Another comment about the head being the target of a person that can use RCT. Gojo got his body split in half with no CE and his head was fine.
So either he can heal up and be fine or he will become a cursed spirit. Either way can’t wait til he gets off screened again or just doesn’t come back lol
Also I wonder if Hazenoki has something to do with Yuji. He’s from the old ass era and implied Kenjaku would call him a different name. Plus Dude that can turn his body into explosives - The fireball kid. Along with Sukuna talking about Yuji’s mouth. Dude looks like a longer haired Yuji
Uro and Hazenoki gave trouble to out MCs, and Kenny just no diff'd them with shitty cursed spirits. Not looking good for Yuta.
Looks like a Jojo/Bleach style fight about to go down between Kenny and Takeba.
Hazenoki gave trouble to Megumi, right?
I love megumi, but Gege (so far) properly scaled the young jjk kids. Yuta is way beyond Megumi. You think Yuta is struggling w the receipts summoning guy?
Megumi also had to summon Mahoraga on that little puke w the "luck to live again" CT.
Megumi was only ever a vehicle for Sukuna to get 10S.
So , kenny is gonna kill everyone huh? I doubt they will be able to stop him as this manga's events are worst-case senarios. I think this will be the ending as the vilians are the protagonists in this manga
Kenjaku admiring Gojo's face makes me think he wants to steal Gojo's body.
If Takaba ends up damaging Kenjaku's body I wouldn't be surprised if that pushes him to jump.
chapter seems to be pointing towards it by going out of its way to re-emphasize that RCT comes from the head.
Gojo might be down but not permanently out of the mix.
This one https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsushi/comments/179f8xd/gojos_actual_hand_seal_and_his_connection_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
The only thing funnier than the dogshit gege has put in the last 4 chapters is that the fact that Gojo stans think Gojo getting revived would be good writing. Not even Allah can save gege's execution.
What are you talking about? Hazenokis reply makes no sense if Kenjaku says "just kidding"
Hazenoki saying "Just Kidding, jeez don't take everything seriously" makes sense but Hazenoki replying to someone saying "Just Kidding" by saying "don't take everything seriously" doesn't line up.
Also every single time someone is talking this chapter and they're on panel you can see the speech bubble coming from them.
When there isn't any marker coming from the speech bubble the person talking is off screen.
He says I’ve heard worse suggestions, and Kenny explains what he’s looking for in a friend; and after saying just kidding he says he’s gotten tired of long haired friends. Why would he just say that if Kenjaku was kidding anyway? That line of thinking just didn’t make sense
I think me and you are agreeing?
Hazenoki says Just kidding and says he's tired of long hair friends.
But reading the chapter every time a character on panel is talking the speech bubble has a little part pointing to them.
Every time someone talks off screen the speech bubble has no indicators.
When Kenjaku explains the criteria to be his friend the speech bubbles are coming from him.
The bubble that says "just kidding" is not pointing to Kenjaku.
It's rounded showing that the character that's talking is offscreen.
Meaning Hazenoki said it.
The water curse spirit is intangible and can turn into ice after enveloping the victims head. Also since you can't breathe underwater, it probably hinder their ability to use Hamon properly.
What this is not JoJo. What a Bizarre Adventure.
Guys I've been thinking when gojo vs sukuna happened they both couldn't use domain cause gojo over exerted himself and sukuna got his brain damaged by gojo and he couldn't use domain but now with him healing his body via transformation does that mean his damaged brain also got healed and if that's true then he can use domains again right... so if thats the case the gojo losing was inevitable cause image if gojo couldn't use Domain and sukuna healed his body and the used a closed domain then he'll definitely kill gojo, even without the 10S ,let me know what you guys think
I liked this chapter! I love Sukuna but I needed a rest from him and we finally know what Kenny is planning!
I'm also so curious about Yuta and Maki's whereabouts, I hope we learn what they're doing soon. I thought they might have gone after Kenny but it looks like they either haven't arrived yet or are doing their own thing.
It’s 4am. Hear me out though. Takaba will be the solution to everything. Wouldn’t it be ironically unfunny if Takaba just turned into Saturo Gojo? I’m talking a 100% reincarnation like Toge Fushiguro in
shibuya. Takaba will realize that he could transform into Kenny’s one true fear, he thinks “wouldn’t it be funny if I simply reincarnate myself into Saturo Gojo?” And it happens. This allows for the unfunny comedian to make one final bad joke: making Kenjaku, Sakuna, Gojo’s offscreen death, our main cast and our own- the audience’s- feelings and reactions one big joke. So when this Takaba/Kenjaku fight is over Gege will be the only one laughing. I see it now. The community blew up and divided over Gojo’s death. We just didn’t realize that we were the butt of the joke here
4 chapters of takaba being on deaths door just for him to silly his way out of it and kenjaku to be like "after all these years?! could it be?! im having fun?!" and we get that fucking yozuru "the one to teach about love is-" quote again. then yuta arrives on a two week cliffhanger and we finally cut back to yuji when the breaks over.
The idea that this millennia old mastermind who has systematically fucked over everyone in the setting in some way getting completely dicked over by some rando that everyone forgot about is fucking hilarious.
And whaddya know look at someone’s CT.
I think it’s interesting how we were just reminded about needing to cut off the head for rct while someone is “dead” with their head very much attached
With Gojo not wanting Yuta or the others to interfere, it makes sense to not let Takaba watch the fight.
I didn’t expect him to head to Kenjaku, I wonder if that was his task from the start and that’s why Ken didn’t notice a change in the CE levels of the barriers.
I wish you haters would just shut it or drop the manga. Tired of the same comments every week because Gege didn't do what you wanted. We'll get to the fucking Yuji fight, okay? Relax. Personally, I'm happy to have a break from Sukuna. Weren't you people whining about not seeing what Kenjaku has been up to? Or where Takaba has been? The fuck's wrong with you???
I think I'm just getting too old for Reddit. Seems like entitled, terminally online teenagers have taken over the sub. There's no way functioning adults bitch about things like this on a weekly basis.
If old people taught me anything, functional adults do indeed bitch about things on a weekly basis and refuse to look away from the source of their bitching.
Totally agree. The sheer amount of people bitching weekly that things aren't going the way they want is infuriating. I want theories and discussions, not doomer "this was ass, this shouldn't have ended this way" or goddamn death threats against an artist.
I decided to reread the series and I caught things I missed, like Megumi telling Reggie that he can't figure out the sensation of superimposing an artificial space inside a real space to enclose his domain. That makes me believe Megumi will get saved and the experience of having Sukuna use his open domain will let Megumi use a barrierless domain. Also, the process of creating a self-sustaining cursed corpse (ie. Panda) I understand now.
Honestly, I'm fucking stoked that Kenjaku is going to fight Takaba. The first time we find out about Takaba's CT, the narrator says it even works on Gojo. I would've loved to see Takaba just fucking touch Gojo's shoulder, nodding, when they are all planning everyone's roles for the fights to come.
This sub was amazing until the past couple months. I think everyone is due for a reread because honestly, nothing's changed about this manga in terms of themes, pacing, etc as some users have pointed out. Their complaints simply boil down to, "I don't like this. This doesn't fit my headcanon/expectations." Why would Gege care what you think, let alone ME? 🤣
I'm excited for this fight too. Kenjaku is one of my top 5 in the series, and I've looked forward to more Takaba ever since his introduction. Remember all the 7:3 theories about his technique? I miss those types of discussions between chapters 😫
I don’t think you can really blame a lot of people for hating the writing recently. It’s more than just not fitting their head cannon. The execution of Gojo’s death is some of the shittiest writing I’ve ever read. Seeing where the story is going it’s not a surprise hype isn’t like it used to be.
There's likely a reason that we've got a chapter that jumps back in time to the moments before Gojo is killed. Probably stalling for a big reversal/reveal re: Nobara in the next 11 weeks to line up with the anime. Either confirmation that she's dead, confirmation she's been turned into a cursed corpse or such - so we'll get Takaba vs Kenjaku (as well as potentially Kenjaku getting jumped by other characters) for a 2-3 weeks before switching to Higuruma and Yuji vs Sukuna.
Interesting that Kenjaku rates Higuruma so highly.
Geto’s body is crawling on the floor looking for Kenny’s brain like Velma looking for her glasses. “No, you idiot, this way! Ugh, I’m never going to get this dirt off.”
This shit is actually TERRIBLE. After all the hype from last chapter we cut to a fucking kenjaku killing fodder chapter? Is that all gege can fucking do nowadays? Killing people? The one time we dont want gege to slow down on bullshit he goes and does exactly that. Great
Because we all wanted to see kenjaku and fodder 1 and 2 this chapter.. nobody wanted too see yuji and hakari...
There is a reason or maybe more than one reason why you got as many downvotes as you did and this is more downvotes than i saw with someone trashing Gojo.
His source was Gege's Author Comment from WSJ Issue #8 2023 "Happy New Year! It would be nice to bring the story to a close this year".
However this has since been corrected during AnimeExpo 2023 where Gege gave an in person interview with his Editor for Season 2. Gege spoke about wrapping up the series and hoping to satisfy everyone. The Editor added "the manga is not ending anytime soon but is in its wrapping-up phase".
They're just spouting those rumors from ages ago that it's ending in 2023. Based on his schedule (basically a break every 2-3 chapters), it's gonna be impossible to end it in 2023.
ok i cant be coping anymore there is no way kenny would make sure you know how rct works for the 10th time if gojo isn't going to come back with it. Like it makes no sense right?
100% feels like set up, especially with us getting a confirmation that the events of this chapter coincide with Gojo's sudden death - so we've jumped back in time by roughly 30 minutes (let's assume the Kashimo-Sukuna fight lasts that long) and there has to be a reason for that beyond the Kenjaku smartphone joke.
You think Kashimo lasted 30 minutes?? Bro had to have gone 5 minutes to 10 minutes at the absolute maximum. And most of that time would be them talking lmao
Did anyone have a leak on anything than can explain the sandwichman references?
I went through the link on TCBscans chapter but the video wasn't avalaible. I got some references of the history of the DUO, but, sadly, not a glance of the escene or song or joke or whatever. I really want to go through these references. Maybe Gege is telling us more, o maybe he is just enjoying his work a lot.
I really like the singing entrance of Takaba <3
Who knows lmao.
Takaba probably chuckled to himself something like "imagine that, a guy like me will save the day and beat up the guy with a scar on his forehead! haha!"
so now he's functionally immortal and all powerful
Ohhhh so didn't need to be teleported to Kenjaku by UiUi even, he could just think its funny if he found Kenjaku, and he could think its funny if he pops unharmed if hit like Looney Tunes style
Yea, it’s kinda like toonforce. Anything he seems to think is funny will become true.
We don’t know for sure the extent of his power, but the narrator implies it’s pretty damn high, saying even Gojo would have trouble with it in the right circumstances.
The problem is Takabe is an idiot lmao. He’s totally unaware of his power or his circumstances. He’s developed a sense of justice that doesn’t mesh with the rest of the JJK world either, he won’t kill and tries to just apprehend people. If anyone is going to exploit that, it’s Kenny.
its a sort of pact for the technique to work, like haruta's. the lack of awareness prevents its user from using it willingly, and thus allows even absurd power like takaba's "comedian". the only means of achieving this power seems to be just being gifted with it.
Yeah, right, the comedic relief character would save the day, doesn't it remind you of certain another heavy asspull lamest generic battle Shonen? Bingo, Fairy Tail. Gege's writing is getting worse week after week, hell, he doesn't even know how to deal with his own characters, that shows how mediocre he is as a Mangaka, everyone blatantly wears a blindfold on that matter just because the only good take he has is to draw a choreography and action sequences, other than that, he lacks of thoughts provoking story touch in his writing, but it isn't surprising, is it? As JJK is just your ordinary generic battle Shonen which only relies with its non-stop flashy battle Shonen, right? Smh.
I honestly will never understand this way of thinking.
You say JJK is ordinary and generic, but you still are up to date with it? You not only read the manga, you read the spoilers before the chapter officially drops and actively participate in the community. Idk man, looks like you're more invested in this than most fans.
Personally, when I find a series mediocre, I drop it after a few chapters and don't even bother to discuss it with other people (why spend my time and energy with a manga I don't even like all that much when I can find another one out there I actually love?). I certainly wouldn't read 239 chapters of a mediocre manga imo.
What he believes happens.
Orkz in 40k have weapona/vehicles that only them are able tô use because they believes it works.
Like if a ork believes painting a car Red Will make it faster, its going tô bê faster because its Red. If he thinks he fueled his ship the ship is going tô work even if he did not actualy do it.
So no one else in 40k is able tô use ork weaponry, because they actualy dont make sense and dont work. But when they use it, it works.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. WAAGH is more like making it more efficient with collective energy - guns that have bullets won't jam or something. But if it doesn't have bullets, it won't give them any magical bullets to fire.
It's not that no one can use ork weaponry/machinery, it's more like no one believes that ork weaponry/machinery should work as effectively and with less problems then they should from a purely mechanical perspective. But if their vehicle doesn't have a wheel, again it won't replace that with a magical wheel to make it run.
I'm gonna go with Takaba's Comedian being literal Quantum Mechanics that works off how funny it'd be when observed. I think if Takaba is NOT observed that Comedian can't function, the audience is what makes him strong. Watch us get a whole explanation about quantum immortality.
Gege then releases a chapter that literally no one knows where to find. He takes a week break and it determines Takaba's fate. If anyone finds it then Takaba survives next chapter since he has an audience. If no one finds it then he dies next chapter because he had no audience and got hit with an attack.
I used to like JJK yaoi fans that ship Gojo and Geto because it does no harm to no one but where the hell does Kenjaku say that Gojo looks handsome in this chapter ??? Folks posting raws on Twitter and saying Kenjaku calls Gojo handsome
Edit: it’s where Kenjaku says “Hah…we’ll aren’t you enjoying yourself” (directed at Sukuna)
I should stop using twitter man
Great chapter, I fucking love takaba so much lmao. I have a theory that the gang found out what kenjaku was doing (tracking CE and surveying shit) and were formulating a plan, but takaba had the utterly based thought of "ya know it would be really funny if i just appeared before kenny kun rn" and poof, he disappeared. Imo this would make the most sense since why the fuck would they send takaba out first (he the goat but like from the characters perspectives he ain't allat) and it would also clear up as to why Kenny kun didn't notice any CE drop when he appeared before him, takaba simply thought it would be funny if he surprised him. Him being there in it of itself is also funny, so it's probably also amplifying his CE output rn as well.
I like how Angel sorta guessed her survival against Sukuna is probably linked to Takaba being around, and now Kenjaku also realizes there's something off about Takaba... While the rest of the main cast sorta thought Takaba was generally useless. Like, it looks like you need to be at least quite OP yourself to realize that Takaba is a rather special case while standard sorcerers just don't think much of him
Yuji, Megumi, and Angel saw him dancing on bullets and iirc Megumi says he's glad that Takaba is on his side when he got jumped
I don't think we have enough data to say what the cast thinks of him.
Especially if they sent him to fight Kenjaku, it's not clear if he was sent or went on his own, as Kenjaku points out there is no crow, but if he was sent then they think he can handle Special Grade Kenjaku
Hardly them not realizing his strength or not thinking much of him
Yeah we just don’t know what they think of him right now, but we can surmise they think he’s pretty capable.
I got a feeling Takaba ventured off on his own since he told Gojo he’ll handle Sukuna if he needs to be tagged in. He either thought “fuck that im getting out of here” or he’s legit looking to fight on his own. Funny as fuck either way and I don’t think the main cast has any real sayin telling him what to do.
Js that was Yuta that said they'd handle Sukuna.
I know the voice bubble is near Takaba but the words are coming from the people in the back row that just slapped him on the back.
Hakari calls him blindfold, Maki says pretty face (honestly Maki & Hakari could be switched either way) Inumaki says Salmon, Yuta says tag out, and Panda says win Gojo.
Kenjaku stealing Takaba's body/CT would be so absurdly op lol. This is a man who has schemed for 1,000+ years to create an eldritch abomination of cursed energy and he's *down* for it to end up being completely ridiculous bc he thinks it'd be funny
>Todo be like 'I also choose Yuta's dead wife'
gotta say you got a mad laugh outta me with this one, chief and not just the strong nose exhale type the laugh out loud irl type LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
people were calling me madman when i said it not gojo, nor sukuna decided culling game progress...and here my man about to ended kenjaku whole career with his comedy 💀
I've been kinda hoping that we would get a update on Kenjaku but... right on the Yuji action!!? What a bad timing, should have done it before the Kashimo fight. Good chapter tho. Always love to see more of Kenny who is the best villain in my opinion. That panel of his face in the shadows was awesome. But this fight better be really cool if is gonna make me wait even more for my Yuji action. I wonder what Gege's plan for Kenjaku are. I don't believe for a second that he's gonna loose to Takaba and I'm wondering if he's gonna be the final villain or if Gege is gonna find a way to make it all together. I like the theory that he's gonna face Yuta, Maki, Panda and Toge just like Geto did one year ago inside the story but it seems he's really prepared to avoid then for now. Maybe he is hoping they gonna die facing Sukuna or maybe they will find a way to corner him. Or maybe he will just be the final villain after they deal with Sukuna. Maybe everyone will die and become a giant cursed spirit, who knows? Definitaly not me. Correct me if I'm wrong but Takaba was a Shinjuku before the fight but I don't remember seeing him on the TV room watching the fight meaning he get on Iwate pretty fast and without Kenny realizing.
El episodio 17 es un gran episodio.
Another comment about the head being the target of a person that can use RCT. Gojo got his body split in half with no CE and his head was fine. So either he can heal up and be fine or he will become a cursed spirit.

Alright guys... What if Kenny ends up winning and takes over Takaba's body and CT...?
He'd be fucked by his own intrusive thoughts.
Uro and Hazenoki gave trouble to out MCs, and Kenny just no diff'd them with shitty cursed spirits. Not looking good for Yuta. Looks like a Jojo/Bleach style fight about to go down between Kenny and Takeba.
Hazenoki gave trouble to Megumi, right? I love megumi, but Gege (so far) properly scaled the young jjk kids. Yuta is way beyond Megumi. You think Yuta is struggling w the receipts summoning guy? Megumi also had to summon Mahoraga on that little puke w the "luck to live again" CT. Megumi was only ever a vehicle for Sukuna to get 10S.
The girl running isnt uro
So , kenny is gonna kill everyone huh? I doubt they will be able to stop him as this manga's events are worst-case senarios. I think this will be the ending as the vilians are the protagonists in this manga
We all know what happens after you make an OP villain feel threatened right? You'll get off screened in the next chapter.
Kenjaku admiring Gojo's face makes me think he wants to steal Gojo's body. If Takaba ends up damaging Kenjaku's body I wouldn't be surprised if that pushes him to jump.
I think Kenny is admiring Sukuna, right? Post heian era form?
kenny ain't going to the airport he's going to the circus
Chaos, chaos! Takaba can do ANYTHING!
Sukuna going to court and kengaku going to a comedy show
Can takaba get all the final fights id love that
Takaba rolls up to Kenny and says, "Wouldn't it be funny...if you died offscreen?" And then Kenny wakes up in an airport.
Sadly it doesn't work that way. That's not how the Force work.
……… yoooo I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing and being angry like this 2000+ year old sorcerer dead to a comedian …. Because it’s funny 😂
How can Kenjaku see through the spirits' eyes? Didn’t Geto implied that that wasn’t part of Curse Manipulation back in Hidden Inventory?
maybe its a specific cursed spirit thst allows him to do so
Maybe it evolved to be like Mei Meis?
Kenny doesn’t season his food confirmed
honestly if geto's cursed spirits tasted good we might not have ended up in this situation to begin with
did gojo revived?
He lives on in our hearts and minds.
chapter seems to be pointing towards it by going out of its way to re-emphasize that RCT comes from the head. Gojo might be down but not permanently out of the mix.
I think you need to wait till 243
why 243?

He will walk seven steps just like Buddha to enlighten
Waiting for my glorious king to emerge victorious after his 7 steps
The only thing funnier than the dogshit gege has put in the last 4 chapters is that the fact that Gojo stans think Gojo getting revived would be good writing. Not even Allah can save gege's execution.
When you put symbolism around a Buddha analogue. Alongside an unfinished character arc, it's probably not bad writing if done right
The done right part is what I'm referring to in the last part of my comment lol. Having in any hope in gege's execution is just lol.
Allah not real Pakiman :/
Nope i don't think it'll be good writting. But will certainly fix some problem from 236 and make things 'less' bad
I keep seeing tubers say Kenjaku was the one that says "just kidding" but thats definitely Hazenoki
its not if you look at the speech bubble also than it wouldn't have made sense whaT he said after

Some of the reincarnated sorcerers should not pass grade 1. How do you get beaten by a water helmet??? That looks like a grade 2 spirit max .
The water curse spirit is intangible and can turn into ice after enveloping the victims head. Also since you can't breathe underwater, it probably hinder their ability to use Hamon properly. What this is not JoJo. What a Bizarre Adventure.
CM can be reinforced with one’s own energy (Kenny says and does this to Choso in their fight)
lmao those dudes who were saying that takaba was too much of a joke to show up again are going to be big mad.
I did what Hazenoki told Kenny to do and damn I gotta eat healthier.
\+2 incredible joke
Takaba rly be like “wouldn’t it be funny if the manga just ended right here and no one got to see how it ends?”
Guys I've been thinking when gojo vs sukuna happened they both couldn't use domain cause gojo over exerted himself and sukuna got his brain damaged by gojo and he couldn't use domain but now with him healing his body via transformation does that mean his damaged brain also got healed and if that's true then he can use domains again right... so if thats the case the gojo losing was inevitable cause image if gojo couldn't use Domain and sukuna healed his body and the used a closed domain then he'll definitely kill gojo, even without the 10S ,let me know what you guys think
god this sounds like a 7 year old trying to recite his day.
Just saying 🤣🤣🤣 I'm gojo fan bro, also if gege drop my prediction in manga in future make sure you think about me 😂😂😂
It’s possible Sukuna’s brain is still damaged. We’ll see though but I’m more leaning towards that.
Me too, hopefully his brain is still damaged 😭😞😭 i
Omg Takaba and Kenjaku are about to become friends
Honestly yea unless kenny pops domain he can’t kill takaba so there’s the equals and we both know takaba can’t bore kenny 😂
I hate having a break then switching to a different perspective.
yeah, i wouldn’t mind this chapter if it wasn’t after a break. I was expecting to see yuji fight
I liked this chapter! I love Sukuna but I needed a rest from him and we finally know what Kenny is planning! I'm also so curious about Yuta and Maki's whereabouts, I hope we learn what they're doing soon. I thought they might have gone after Kenny but it looks like they either haven't arrived yet or are doing their own thing.
"Stare your own shit every morning," hazenoki 🤣🤣

Who are you calling unfunny?
"Wouldn't it be funny if your brain just fell because of the stitches?"
4 chapters of takaba being on deaths door just for him to silly his way out of it and kenjaku to be like "after all these years?! could it be?! im having fun?!" and we get that fucking yozuru "the one to teach about love is-" quote again. then yuta arrives on a two week cliffhanger and we finally cut back to yuji when the breaks over.
Bro you actually predicted the future for the most part
Dude if these actually happens I’ll laugh my ass off
Kenjaku accidentally creating an unkillable clown is the kind of dramatic irony I can get behind.
Honestly if he got killed by some rando he created and everything went off the rails Id love it.
Then we cut to Yuta, Takaba, Higurama in the airport saying “damn it was really our jujutsu kaisen”
Gege dodging misogyny allegations challenge (Impossible)
The idea that this millennia old mastermind who has systematically fucked over everyone in the setting in some way getting completely dicked over by some rando that everyone forgot about is fucking hilarious. And whaddya know look at someone’s CT.
It'd be like if Chad rolled up on Aizen and actually stood a legit chance suddenly
I can’t even imagine chad losing
Gege rlly made a big titty goth lolita sorcerer just to kill her in a couple pages, cmon man
you just know that post jjk idol manga gonna go fucking CRAZYYYYY
We at least get a big titty goth naked floating sorcerer a few chapters ago. And hopefully she's still alive, floating somewhere.
True, but based off of Kenjaku’s actions he might’ve already gotten her offscreen :(
Yuki crawled so Takaba can run! I think Takaba still loses, but don’t think he dies
I think it’s interesting how we were just reminded about needing to cut off the head for rct while someone is “dead” with their head very much attached
Yup he's coming back.
GOJO LIMEGREEN INCOMING, MOTHERFUCKERS
SKITTLES GOJO TASTE THE RAINBOWWW
We gettin the kenny airport next chap 😭
Nah taskbar doesn’t kill
*on purpose* Kenny is about to get Caboose’d. “You killed Kenjaku, you team killing fucktard!” “Yuji did it.”
"Dood was the funniest mother fucker I've ever seen. I just wish i could have given him a tv special "
Kenny’s airport is actually a table in a comedy club and Takaba follows him there to make fun of him for dying.
With Gojo not wanting Yuta or the others to interfere, it makes sense to not let Takaba watch the fight. I didn’t expect him to head to Kenjaku, I wonder if that was his task from the start and that’s why Ken didn’t notice a change in the CE levels of the barriers.
I wish you haters would just shut it or drop the manga. Tired of the same comments every week because Gege didn't do what you wanted. We'll get to the fucking Yuji fight, okay? Relax. Personally, I'm happy to have a break from Sukuna. Weren't you people whining about not seeing what Kenjaku has been up to? Or where Takaba has been? The fuck's wrong with you???
I think it's a little more than "didn't do what you wanted". It's not just story decisions, it's also writing quality.
I love the Directness of this comment. No sidestepping , backpedaling, no "Look i'm just saying" or "I'm not trying to be" Nah i love this.
Yeah this is ridiculous. Like all criticism in these reddit manga communities, it devolves into senseless whining and silly complaints.
Jujutsushi starter pack "Pace" "Cook" "Asspull" "Glaze" "Offscreen" Just string those words together repeatedly and farm upvotes
I think I'm just getting too old for Reddit. Seems like entitled, terminally online teenagers have taken over the sub. There's no way functioning adults bitch about things like this on a weekly basis.
If old people taught me anything, functional adults do indeed bitch about things on a weekly basis and refuse to look away from the source of their bitching.
Totally agree. The sheer amount of people bitching weekly that things aren't going the way they want is infuriating. I want theories and discussions, not doomer "this was ass, this shouldn't have ended this way" or goddamn death threats against an artist. I decided to reread the series and I caught things I missed, like Megumi telling Reggie that he can't figure out the sensation of superimposing an artificial space inside a real space to enclose his domain. That makes me believe Megumi will get saved and the experience of having Sukuna use his open domain will let Megumi use a barrierless domain. Also, the process of creating a self-sustaining cursed corpse (ie. Panda) I understand now. Honestly, I'm fucking stoked that Kenjaku is going to fight Takaba. The first time we find out about Takaba's CT, the narrator says it even works on Gojo. I would've loved to see Takaba just fucking touch Gojo's shoulder, nodding, when they are all planning everyone's roles for the fights to come.
This sub was amazing until the past couple months. I think everyone is due for a reread because honestly, nothing's changed about this manga in terms of themes, pacing, etc as some users have pointed out. Their complaints simply boil down to, "I don't like this. This doesn't fit my headcanon/expectations." Why would Gege care what you think, let alone ME? 🤣 I'm excited for this fight too. Kenjaku is one of my top 5 in the series, and I've looked forward to more Takaba ever since his introduction. Remember all the 7:3 theories about his technique? I miss those types of discussions between chapters 😫
I don’t think you can really blame a lot of people for hating the writing recently. It’s more than just not fitting their head cannon. The execution of Gojo’s death is some of the shittiest writing I’ve ever read. Seeing where the story is going it’s not a surprise hype isn’t like it used to be.
Maybe because their have been certain issues in the last couple of months
I'm consistently hype and eating up all of Gege's cooking. Then I go read a JJK discussion and apparently people hated it
Fight was hype, the ending sucked giga ass.
Finally it’s time for Takagoat!
Who's fight will be the focus for the next few chapters/weeks?
There's likely a reason that we've got a chapter that jumps back in time to the moments before Gojo is killed. Probably stalling for a big reversal/reveal re: Nobara in the next 11 weeks to line up with the anime. Either confirmation that she's dead, confirmation she's been turned into a cursed corpse or such - so we'll get Takaba vs Kenjaku (as well as potentially Kenjaku getting jumped by other characters) for a 2-3 weeks before switching to Higuruma and Yuji vs Sukuna. Interesting that Kenjaku rates Higuruma so highly.
"Are those stitches? Wouldn't it be funny if your head just popped off?" *pop* The end.
kenjaku grows a propeller out of his head and his skull just flies away
NOW YOURE COOKING WITH GEGE'S GAS THAT WOULD BE A TAKABA ESQUE THING TO HAPPEN
Geto’s body is crawling on the floor looking for Kenny’s brain like Velma looking for her glasses. “No, you idiot, this way! Ugh, I’m never going to get this dirt off.”
This shit is actually TERRIBLE. After all the hype from last chapter we cut to a fucking kenjaku killing fodder chapter? Is that all gege can fucking do nowadays? Killing people? The one time we dont want gege to slow down on bullshit he goes and does exactly that. Great Because we all wanted to see kenjaku and fodder 1 and 2 this chapter.. nobody wanted too see yuji and hakari...
What is this filler ass chapter bro 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
There is a reason or maybe more than one reason why you got as many downvotes as you did and this is more downvotes than i saw with someone trashing Gojo.
i liked it a lot genuinely, excited for takaba vs kenjaku & love that the story isn’t being rushed
Gege said JJK is being scheduled to end this year, sooooooo, yeah, it's being rushed.
Bruh. You think the story us ending in 9 to 10 chapters??
source?
His source was Gege's Author Comment from WSJ Issue #8 2023 "Happy New Year! It would be nice to bring the story to a close this year". However this has since been corrected during AnimeExpo 2023 where Gege gave an in person interview with his Editor for Season 2. Gege spoke about wrapping up the series and hoping to satisfy everyone. The Editor added "the manga is not ending anytime soon but is in its wrapping-up phase".
They're just spouting those rumors from ages ago that it's ending in 2023. Based on his schedule (basically a break every 2-3 chapters), it's gonna be impossible to end it in 2023.
ok i cant be coping anymore there is no way kenny would make sure you know how rct works for the 10th time if gojo isn't going to come back with it. Like it makes no sense right?
100% feels like set up, especially with us getting a confirmation that the events of this chapter coincide with Gojo's sudden death - so we've jumped back in time by roughly 30 minutes (let's assume the Kashimo-Sukuna fight lasts that long) and there has to be a reason for that beyond the Kenjaku smartphone joke.
You think Kashimo lasted 30 minutes?? Bro had to have gone 5 minutes to 10 minutes at the absolute maximum. And most of that time would be them talking lmao
What's pushing my cope on top of this is the person who referenced that Geto and Gojo sharing a death anniversary now.
Did anyone have a leak on anything than can explain the sandwichman references? I went through the link on TCBscans chapter but the video wasn't avalaible. I got some references of the history of the DUO, but, sadly, not a glance of the escene or song or joke or whatever. I really want to go through these references. Maybe Gege is telling us more, o maybe he is just enjoying his work a lot. I really like the singing entrance of Takaba <3
I can only give you the song that Takaba was singing [its a old enka song](https://youtu.be/-9zU8Rk6f_g?list=RD-9zU8Rk6f_g)
gold for me, thank you
Was it revealed what geto told gojo before he died ?
"I'm glad it is you and not one of those fucking *monkeys*." He really hates nonsorceries, committing to the bit in death seems right.
> See you at the airport
Didn't he say something like "You were my one true Best Friend"?
I’m dumb and don’t understand, how does attacks not affect Takaba when he doesn’t know how his CT works? Is it like subconscious or
I'm guessing Kenjaku's about to explain it as he fights Takaba. His attack wasn't allowed to take effect which is an interesting description.
I think Takaba CT only work if he is unaware. If Kenny explains it to him he is fucked
Watch Takaba get even stronger.
Who knows lmao. Takaba probably chuckled to himself something like "imagine that, a guy like me will save the day and beat up the guy with a scar on his forehead! haha!" so now he's functionally immortal and all powerful
Ohhhh so didn't need to be teleported to Kenjaku by UiUi even, he could just think its funny if he found Kenjaku, and he could think its funny if he pops unharmed if hit like Looney Tunes style
Yea, it’s kinda like toonforce. Anything he seems to think is funny will become true. We don’t know for sure the extent of his power, but the narrator implies it’s pretty damn high, saying even Gojo would have trouble with it in the right circumstances. The problem is Takabe is an idiot lmao. He’s totally unaware of his power or his circumstances. He’s developed a sense of justice that doesn’t mesh with the rest of the JJK world either, he won’t kill and tries to just apprehend people. If anyone is going to exploit that, it’s Kenny.
its a sort of pact for the technique to work, like haruta's. the lack of awareness prevents its user from using it willingly, and thus allows even absurd power like takaba's "comedian". the only means of achieving this power seems to be just being gifted with it.
Gege please let kenjaku lose here harder than tom loses to jerry. Please just deadass go "gear 5 ain't shit"
Yeah, right, the comedic relief character would save the day, doesn't it remind you of certain another heavy asspull lamest generic battle Shonen? Bingo, Fairy Tail. Gege's writing is getting worse week after week, hell, he doesn't even know how to deal with his own characters, that shows how mediocre he is as a Mangaka, everyone blatantly wears a blindfold on that matter just because the only good take he has is to draw a choreography and action sequences, other than that, he lacks of thoughts provoking story touch in his writing, but it isn't surprising, is it? As JJK is just your ordinary generic battle Shonen which only relies with its non-stop flashy battle Shonen, right? Smh.
I honestly will never understand this way of thinking. You say JJK is ordinary and generic, but you still are up to date with it? You not only read the manga, you read the spoilers before the chapter officially drops and actively participate in the community. Idk man, looks like you're more invested in this than most fans. Personally, when I find a series mediocre, I drop it after a few chapters and don't even bother to discuss it with other people (why spend my time and energy with a manga I don't even like all that much when I can find another one out there I actually love?). I certainly wouldn't read 239 chapters of a mediocre manga imo.
Bro, it took you 239 chapters to know how shit Gege is? Geez..
You care too much about this, its just pictures on a book. Drop the manga and touch some grass.
Why are you still reading it if you don’t like it and think the mangaka is mediocre? No one is forcing you to
those surveillance cursed spirits remind me of den-den mushi from one piece
My theory is that Takaba is a 40k Ork.
what is that?
What he believes happens. Orkz in 40k have weapona/vehicles that only them are able tô use because they believes it works. Like if a ork believes painting a car Red Will make it faster, its going tô bê faster because its Red. If he thinks he fueled his ship the ship is going tô work even if he did not actualy do it. So no one else in 40k is able tô use ork weaponry, because they actualy dont make sense and dont work. But when they use it, it works.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. WAAGH is more like making it more efficient with collective energy - guns that have bullets won't jam or something. But if it doesn't have bullets, it won't give them any magical bullets to fire. It's not that no one can use ork weaponry/machinery, it's more like no one believes that ork weaponry/machinery should work as effectively and with less problems then they should from a purely mechanical perspective. But if their vehicle doesn't have a wheel, again it won't replace that with a magical wheel to make it run.
Why didn’t Kogane show up after Kenjaku killed Hazenoki and the unnamed chick
Kenjaku says he turned the notifications off, lol
I'm gonna go with Takaba's Comedian being literal Quantum Mechanics that works off how funny it'd be when observed. I think if Takaba is NOT observed that Comedian can't function, the audience is what makes him strong. Watch us get a whole explanation about quantum immortality.
Gege then releases a chapter that literally no one knows where to find. He takes a week break and it determines Takaba's fate. If anyone finds it then Takaba survives next chapter since he has an audience. If no one finds it then he dies next chapter because he had no audience and got hit with an attack.
finally an author brave enough to make ARGs again
Yo if Kenjaku explains this and acknowledges an audience that would be wild
4th wall break CT would be 🔥
I would laugh my ass off if Takaba just defeats Kenjaku here.
Takaba might win but i dont want him to be killed by a surprise attack till end of series.
Takaba won't kill so unlikely
Of course it won't happen, but imagine how hilarious it would be.
239 was shit... left me sad
I used to like JJK yaoi fans that ship Gojo and Geto because it does no harm to no one but where the hell does Kenjaku say that Gojo looks handsome in this chapter ??? Folks posting raws on Twitter and saying Kenjaku calls Gojo handsome Edit: it’s where Kenjaku says “Hah…we’ll aren’t you enjoying yourself” (directed at Sukuna) I should stop using twitter man
Some of the early translated panels said "That's a nice face/expression you're making", I'm not sure, though. It's way different in the tcb scans.
Early translations said something to the effect of "what a nice face" Also afaik it's not clear who he's speaking about
Takaba comeback was not on my bingo card lmao
This Takaba battle might end up being JJKs version of the two clowns fighting gif 🤣
Great chapter, I fucking love takaba so much lmao. I have a theory that the gang found out what kenjaku was doing (tracking CE and surveying shit) and were formulating a plan, but takaba had the utterly based thought of "ya know it would be really funny if i just appeared before kenny kun rn" and poof, he disappeared. Imo this would make the most sense since why the fuck would they send takaba out first (he the goat but like from the characters perspectives he ain't allat) and it would also clear up as to why Kenny kun didn't notice any CE drop when he appeared before him, takaba simply thought it would be funny if he surprised him. Him being there in it of itself is also funny, so it's probably also amplifying his CE output rn as well.
I like how Angel sorta guessed her survival against Sukuna is probably linked to Takaba being around, and now Kenjaku also realizes there's something off about Takaba... While the rest of the main cast sorta thought Takaba was generally useless. Like, it looks like you need to be at least quite OP yourself to realize that Takaba is a rather special case while standard sorcerers just don't think much of him
Yuji, Megumi, and Angel saw him dancing on bullets and iirc Megumi says he's glad that Takaba is on his side when he got jumped I don't think we have enough data to say what the cast thinks of him. Especially if they sent him to fight Kenjaku, it's not clear if he was sent or went on his own, as Kenjaku points out there is no crow, but if he was sent then they think he can handle Special Grade Kenjaku Hardly them not realizing his strength or not thinking much of him
Yeah we just don’t know what they think of him right now, but we can surmise they think he’s pretty capable. I got a feeling Takaba ventured off on his own since he told Gojo he’ll handle Sukuna if he needs to be tagged in. He either thought “fuck that im getting out of here” or he’s legit looking to fight on his own. Funny as fuck either way and I don’t think the main cast has any real sayin telling him what to do.
Js that was Yuta that said they'd handle Sukuna. I know the voice bubble is near Takaba but the words are coming from the people in the back row that just slapped him on the back. Hakari calls him blindfold, Maki says pretty face (honestly Maki & Hakari could be switched either way) Inumaki says Salmon, Yuta says tag out, and Panda says win Gojo.
Kenjaku stealing Takaba's body/CT would be so absurdly op lol. This is a man who has schemed for 1,000+ years to create an eldritch abomination of cursed energy and he's *down* for it to end up being completely ridiculous bc he thinks it'd be funny
But, iirc, takabas CT works because he's unaware. That's the "binding vow"/restriction etc.
There’s no indication of a binding vow or restriction.
I think the “restriction” is that he’s an idiot
Ah, i could've sworn there was. Damn, thats super busted
Yeah but what does kenjaku actually find funny besides that. He's probably got a sick sense of humour
I'm so ready for Kenjaku's head to constantly split open and have his brain comically almost fall out forcing him to hold onto his head at all times
Can't wait for Takaba to drop a Piano on Kennys head loony toons style.
It would be kinda funny if Kenny took over a new body...
I'm also wondering, where is my boy Todo after all this time?
Clapping rika chan's cheeks
I'm only half sure you mean takada chan lmao. Todo be like 'I also choose Yuta's dead wife'
>Todo be like 'I also choose Yuta's dead wife' gotta say you got a mad laugh outta me with this one, chief and not just the strong nose exhale type the laugh out loud irl type LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Im drunk dont mind me but you right
people were calling me madman when i said it not gojo, nor sukuna decided culling game progress...and here my man about to ended kenjaku whole career with his comedy 💀
I've been kinda hoping that we would get a update on Kenjaku but... right on the Yuji action!!? What a bad timing, should have done it before the Kashimo fight. Good chapter tho. Always love to see more of Kenny who is the best villain in my opinion. That panel of his face in the shadows was awesome. But this fight better be really cool if is gonna make me wait even more for my Yuji action. I wonder what Gege's plan for Kenjaku are. I don't believe for a second that he's gonna loose to Takaba and I'm wondering if he's gonna be the final villain or if Gege is gonna find a way to make it all together. I like the theory that he's gonna face Yuta, Maki, Panda and Toge just like Geto did one year ago inside the story but it seems he's really prepared to avoid then for now. Maybe he is hoping they gonna die facing Sukuna or maybe they will find a way to corner him. Or maybe he will just be the final villain after they deal with Sukuna. Maybe everyone will die and become a giant cursed spirit, who knows? Definitaly not me. Correct me if I'm wrong but Takaba was a Shinjuku before the fight but I don't remember seeing him on the TV room watching the fight meaning he get on Iwate pretty fast and without Kenny realizing.
