Jujutsu Kaisen: Chapter 242
Jujutsu Kaisen is now onto its 11th arc overall, called the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. This has been an intense arc, with a massive character dying in Chapter 236. We won’t list that here but with Sukuna attaining a new body, the final conflict between the strongest is nigh. Will the victory be awarded to the jujutsu sorcerers or the King of Curses? One thing’s for certain though, this fight is far from over.

How Many Chapters Will Jujutsu Kaisen Have?

What Happened In Chapter 241?
In Chapter 241, we get a glimpse of Takaba during his college days. He spends his time goofing around with his companion and performing skits. After belittling his friend for arriving late for rehearsals, his friend opens up and says he’s tired of Takaba’s comedy. Later in life, Takaba is shown reading hurtful comments from audience members. Even his friend questions how long he’ll continue as a comedian.
As Takaba engages with his child-self, we learn he pursued entertainment for recognition purposes and wanted to make many people laugh. As time went on, he relied on his usual hysterical routines and refused to try something different. Then, we return to his fight with Kenjaku. Takaba bows and apologizes for overlooking Kenjaku as a listener of his work.
Takaba vows to make everyone in the world laugh, including Kenjaku. The chapter closes with Kenjaku questioning Takaba on his oath.
