Manga Jujutsu Kaisen is built towards a confrontation between the characters Takaba and Kenjaku. While their climactic confrontation has been postponed, new developments suggest it could be imminent.
In the latest arc, Kenjaku realizes that he must adjust his approach to counter Takaba’s power that allows him to constantly manipulate circumstances to his advantage. That’s why fans are looking forward to its release date Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 244 next.
Kenjaku found his own thinking affected as Takaba kept changing the situation. It seems that using this ability does not come without a cost, as its effects on Kenjaku demonstrate.
However, he appears determined to overcome and build a new strategy to overcome the challenge that Takaba poses to his plan.
As these central players analyze each other to find weaknesses to exploit, risks continue to increase. Many other revelations that may change their relationship may appear in later Chapters.
Their long-awaited match could become a pivotal battle with far-reaching consequences at the end of the manga.
Summary and review
As Chapter 243 of Jujutsu Kaisen opens, the rival duo Kenjaku and Takaba once again have a special little chat as they come before the audience.
Kenjaku, using an almost conversational tone, asked if Takaba was free next Wednesday, to which Takaba replied that he would be busy assisting with someone’s relocation that day.
Using transparent codenames, Kenjaku continued to introduce them to the crowd as “Pinch” and “Opportunity.” However, realistically, Takaba bluntly revealed their true identities to the room, despite Kenjaku’s arbitrary efforts.
The continued display of frank but absurd exchanges between the two sides maintains the undercurrent of tension resulting from their conflict.
While they display polite discussion, a tension lurks beneath the surface. At any moment, their facade could crumble, revealing the true severity of the impasse between them that weighed heavily on every word.

However, there is also an element of unexpected rapport mixed with the anticipation of combative chaos. Where this combination might lead remains unclear – whether it will lead to a further spiral of madness or ultimately a decisive confrontation.
When Takaba begins to recount a humorous anecdote based on the classic folk legend of Momotarō, Kenjaku catches him off guard by revealing that he is unfamiliar with the story, as his upbringing lacked absent father figure.
However, Kenjaku warmly recounts how his loving mother tried to shield his childhood from that absence by including him in stories, including the story of the Noble Peach Boy that Takaba mentioned.
After this revelation, Takaba realizes Kenjaku’s ploy – to pretend not to know the story to completely disrupt the momentum of his joke.
When they move on to perform a skit set within Momotarō’s story, Kenjaku steals Takaba’s usual light-hearted stories with his own brand of mature comedy outside of Takaba’s typical style.
This latest exchange illustrates the psychological chess match going on between them, with Kenjaku refusing to let Takaba establish an effective comedic rhythm.
By anticipating and adapting to Takaba’s approach, Kenjaku neutralizes attempts to throw him off balance. Yet beneath the strategic maneuvering there exists the illusion of a close relationship, maintained by a thin veneer of their eccentric back-and-forth banter.
While Takaba and Kenjaku’s playful back-and-forth may create an entertaining spectacle for viewers, Takaba falls into a state of depression as he laments the pointless end of their partnership.
Takaba shed tears over the impending finale of this surreal work that he envisioned as his dream chapter. Kenjaku expressed sympathy for Takaba’s dramatic change in attitude, comforting him in his sadness over the impending end.
However, freed from the illusion, Chapter 243 reveals the true dire circumstances – Takaba wears the deceased’s clothes, confirming his relationship with them.
He expressed his gratitude to Kenjaku, who acknowledged Takaba’s sense of humor. Suddenly, undetected by Kenjaku, Yuta materialized behind him, using Takaba’s power to erase the signs of his overwhelming Cursed Energy – and slashed Kenjaku’s neck before the Magician fought back. The curse promptly responded.
