Unexpected turns have taken place in the “Jujutsu Kaisen” Chapter 241 as fans speculated that the next chapter would be the end of the battle between Kanjaku and Fumihiko Takaba but it seems that the battle would continue. The next chapter will be released on November 6, 2023, at 12 a.m. JST in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump issue 49.
Takaba’s Backstory Revealed
In the chapter it was revealed that Takaba possessed a cursed technique that allowed him to bring about phenomena based on his imagination but its effectiveness relied heavily on his self confidence.
Before engaging in combat with Takaba Kenjaku intentionally ignored any humor in an effort to undermine Takaba’s self confidence. As the chapter concluded Takaba found himself questioning his decision to pursue a career in comedy.
Chapter 241 of “Jujutsu Kaisen” kicks off with a flashback of Takaba’s university days, where he and his buddy used to skits.
Takaba playfully scolds his friend for being late. While his friend pushes back, expressing that Takaba can be a bit dominating and distant, making the comedy jokes less funny.
How Takaba Became Under-Confident?
Fast forward to Takaba as an adult, he becomes disheartened by the comments hurled at him by the audience with one even going as far as telling him to die.
Takaba’s friend mentions that even he struggles to find these old jokes amusing. How can he expect anyone to laugh? His friends seem skeptical about the prospects of pursuing comedy as a career. In the beginning Takaba believed that making people laugh would only result in gaining fans, rather than genuine friendships.
However as he grew older he found himself relying on jokes of exploring new comedic avenues. He became hesitant to take risks and remained within his comfort zone. Now Takaba finds himself back in the moment where he is facing Kenjaku.
Kenjaku is preparing for another attack and surprisingly Takaba humbly bows down to offer an apology. He expresses regret for disregarding Kenjaku and expresses his desire to bring laughter to everyone’s lives including Kenjaku’s.
Kenjaku initially feels annoyed but he also experiences a sense of admiration towards Takaba’s apology. With Takaba’s powers fully restored a flicker of excitement can be seen on Kenjaku’s face as the battle between them continues.
