After it seemed that Kenjaku had pretty much won the fight after figuring out the cursed technique that Takaba has, the latter is now ready for a round two battle or probably for a final standoff between the two. The latest chapter of the series is fully dedicated to a flashback for Takaba, which was totally unexpected, considering Takaba is only a side character. Fans would have been satisfied with a page or two of the flashback that would be what Takaba’s character is about.
However, Gege dedicated a full chapter to showcase what Takaba’s character is about, and I like to think that it must be important for the author to display this. While fans didn’t like the latest chapter much, it surely was a great chapter that helped us know how amazing Takaba’s character is.
With his determination to make everyone laugh, Takaba is ready to fight Kenjaku again, and so are to see it as well in the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 242. It will be a while before the chapter is released, given there is a break next week, so in the meantime, let us speculate what this chapter is going to be about.
In addition to this, we will also be including the details for the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 242, which will include the chapter’s exact release date, time, and where to read once the chapter is out. With that being said, here we bring you the latest Jujutsu Kaisen manga series updates.
Recap
The latest Jujutsu Kaisen chapter starts with a flashback of Takabat, which sees the character in the university waiting for his friend to start preparing for their comedy show that is coming up. The latter comes late to the set, and he is hungover and says that he is sorry but doesn’t mean it.

As they begin their practice, the friend doesn’t remember the lines, and thus Takaba snaps, saying that if he actually feels sorry, then he should say it and mean it, but all he does is go out with girls and drink with others, not taking comedy seriously. The argument gets heated, and the friend leaves, saying that doing comedy with him isn’t fun.
The following flashback showcases how Takaba has only struggled with his career as his friends keep leaving one after another, and Takaba starts to think how long he can keep going but eventually realizes that his resolve for comedy is to make every single person laugh.
Realizing that he did not care about Kenjaku’s laugh is his biggest fault. Coming back to the present, Takaba apologizes to Kenjaku about what he said earlier in a very strict form that makes the latter compliment it. Takaba determines to say that he will make Kenjaku laugh until he throws up his guts as his cursed technique is back at the end of the chapter.
Expectations
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 242 will surely see the fight between Kenjaku and Takaba continue, and we are hoping that this chapter will be the last one to showcase this.
While we are not assuming that Takaba will win, he will surely have an impact on wearing out Kenjaku which will later help the other sorcerers to stop Kenjaku. Let’s hope that we at least learn about Kenjaku more now with a flashback or two regarding this character as well because currently, he seems more mysterious than Sukuna.
