Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240: The Battle of Laughter and Secrets

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers. Proceed with caution if you have not watched the show/movie.

The anticipation for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240 is reaching a fever pitch among fans of this popular Japanese manga. In the wake of Chapter 239's surprising twist, we are left eager to see what happens next. In this chapter, we expect to witness the intriguing battle between Kenjaku and Takaba unfold, and the spoilers that have been released suggest that it's going to be a wild ride.

The Battle Plan

The chapter starts with a flashback, a peek into the strategic thinking of our protagonists. Angel, the clever strategist, advises Yuta, Hakari, and others to take the fight to Kenjaku before the epic showdown between Gojo and Sukuna concludes. They understand that even if they manage to defeat Sukuna, it would all be in vain if Kenjaku successfully merges the people of Japan with Tengen.

There's a sense of urgency, as they realize that a defeat against Sukuna would leave them too weakened to confront Kenjaku's formidable forces. Kusakabe suggests sending Maki to catch Kenjaku off guard, but splitting their attacking power doesn't sit well with them. It's Angel who proposes an unexpected candidate for this daunting task: Takaba.

Takaba's Secret Weapon

Angel's suggestion takes everyone by surprise, and she emphasizes the need for secrecy, even from Takaba himself. She hints at Takaba's unique Cursed technique, but before we can hear its name, the story takes us back to the ongoing battle.

On the battlefield, Takaba appears unfazed by the monstrous Curses unleashed by Kenjaku. He manages to confine Kenjaku within a bandana and a glass, a humorous twist that suggests his Cursed Technique allows him to materialize his imagination. Kenjaku realizes that his centuries of knowledge are of no use against Takaba, but he also knows that every technique has a weak point.

As the battle of words between Takaba and Kenjaku continues, we get an unexpected insight into Takaba's past – he once won a comedy competition. The revelation that Kenjaku is seeking to force human evolution for the sake of amusement leaves Takaba with a peculiar notion: perhaps Kenjaku needs to laugh.

The Comedy Battle

In an attempt to make Kenjaku laugh, Takaba tells jokes, but the Curse is merciless in its critique. Kenjaku discerns that the key to Takaba's technique lies in his self-confidence, which is shattered by criticism. This provides an opening for Kenjaku to strike, landing a blow on Takaba.

Enraged, Takaba initiates a game of "you lose when you laugh." He pulls a funny face at Kenjaku, who counters by revealing his true, bizarre self. This finally elicits laughter from Takaba, but it also allows Kenjaku to land a more potent blow. As Takaba lies near Hazenoki's lifeless body, he begins to question his choice of becoming a comedian, all while Kenjaku advances menacingly.
