Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240 spoilers: The fight takes an unexpected turn

The battle against the strongest has taken a side seat as Kenjaku and Takaba enjoy the limelight. Here are the release date and spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240.

In the recent chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen fans were ready to watch the highly-anticipated fight between Yuji and Sukuna. However, it seems we have to wait a bit longer as Kenjaku is killing off all the Culling Game players. The ancient curse users plan to merge Master Tengen with the Japanese population.

As the sorcerers are busy trying to defeat Sukuna, Kenjaku isn’t staying still either. Whether it is the King of Curses or the ancient curse user, Yuji, and the others have their work cut out for them as they must stop these villains.

In the recent chapter, we see Kenjaku killing two players as Fumihiko Takaba enters the scene. His power is so astounding that even Kenjaku, who had been living for over 1,000 years, had never seen anything like it. Delve deeper to find out the release date and spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240 spoilers: What will happen

Crunchyroll

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240 will begin with a brief flashback of the sorcerers discussing their plan to deal with Kenjaku before Gojo vs Sukuna ends. Their plan is to launch a surprise attack since they know dealing with Kenjaku will be a challenge. Kusakabe thinks Maki will be able to handle it, but it wouldn’t be wise to split the group. Therefore, Angel suggests sending Takaba instead.

While others doubt her idea, she tells them about his cursed technique  – but the chapter doesn’t reveal anything as it switches back to the fight between Kenjaku and Takaba. Kenjaku figures out that his cursed technique is being rejected due to Takaba’s ability.

The fight is hilarious as Takaba makes the villain wear an American flag bandana. Takaba also says that Kenjaku cannot win against him. Faced with such an unusual ability, Kenjaku realizes that even his 1000 years of experience won’t help him in the battle.

Takaba also asks about the reason behind Kenjaku’s actions, and the latter responds by calling it fun. Apparently, the comedian sorcerers realize that Kenjaku’s face has “make me laugh” written all over it. Hence, the battle between them soon turns into Takaba’s performance, trying to make his audience (Kenjaku) laugh.

Kenjaku uses logic to explain Takaba’s joke as the latter’s confidence begins to fade. After that, the ancient curse user manages to land a solid attack on Takaba. Kenjaku realizes that Takaba’s ability has one loophole, as it is directly associated with his confidence.

Takaba gets back on his feet right away and starts a game where the first to laugh will lose. He makes a funny face, but Kenjaku retaliates by making an even funnier face. Takaba immediately laughs, giving the villain another chance to strike him.

Takaba begins to lose his cool, thinking Kenjaku is funnier than him. However, he tries to motivate himself but suddenly sees Hazenoki’s corpse. Kenjaku gloats over Takaba’s sadness and tells him to laugh since he’s a comedian. The chapter ends as Takaba begins to question himself.
