What can we expect in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 241? 

The chapter is likely to continue the ongoing battle between Kenjaku and Takaba, shedding light on Takaba's growth and untapped potential.

Kenjaku, initially perplexed by Takaba's cursed technique, may have found a way to gain the upper hand by undermining Takaba's confidence.

Takaba may need to overcome his weaknesses and harness his powers effectively to stand a chance against stronger adversaries. Chapter 241 may delve into this character development.

What Happened in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 240

In Chapter 240 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the fight between Kenjaku and Takaba takes an unexpected and bizarre turn. Fans anticipated Kenjaku gaining the upper hand, but it happened in a way no one predicted. At the same time, Takaba's struggle against Kenjaku seems more challenging than expected.

The chapter opens with Hana Kurusu, Yuta Okkotsu, Mei Mei, Kinji Hakari, and Atsuya Kusakabe gathered in a stairwell. They discuss the need to ambush Kenjaku before the battle between Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna concludes. Angel emphasizes that Kenjaku's goals must be thwarted, even if they defeat Sukuna, as Kenjaku's success triggers a perilous assimilation process.

It's revealed that both Yuta and Hakari are participants in the Culling Game, making it impossible for Kenjaku to achieve his objectives while Sukuna is being battled. This sparks a debate on the potential risks of Kenjaku ambushing them when Gojo loses.

Kusakabe questions why winning against Sukuna leads to their team's destruction but keeps his concerns to himself. He also acknowledges that Miwa and others won't join the frontlines, even if they're part of the Culling Game.

Angel warns that Kenjaku could attack them when Gojo fails, even if they narrowly win against Sukuna, leaving them exhausted for a confrontation with a fresh Kenjaku. Yuta speculates that Kenjaku and Sukuna might attempt what they intend to do to Sukuna.

Kusakabe suggests sending Maki Zen'in to ambush Kenjaku, but splitting their forces before dealing with Sukuna is deemed unwise. They agree that not just anyone can confront Kenjaku, even acknowledging Kusakabe's own limitations as a Grade One sorcerer.

Mei Mei suggests that a sorcerer's ranking might not be the deciding factor, but she removes herself from consideration, having encountered Kenjaku before.

Unexpectedly, Angel proposes sending Fumihiko Takaba and reveals information about his Cursed Technique that could negatively affect its effectiveness. The chapter then shifts to the confrontation between Kenjaku and Takaba.

Kenjaku launches an attack using centipedes, but Takaba, in a rather surreal moment, claims it doesn't hurt because he's a "cartoon." This baffles Kenjaku, who realizes that Takaba is negating his own Technique.

Takaba taunts Kenjaku, claiming even a child could defeat him. Kenjaku speculates that Takaba's Cursed Technique is tied to his imagination, and they engage in a humorous back-and-forth.

Takaba questions why Kenjaku is causing violence and trying to assimilate everyone. Kenjaku responds that it's for entertainment and intellectual curiosity, leading to a conversation on the meaning of violence and entertainment.

Takaba notices "just try and make me laugh" written on Kenjaku's face and initiates a comedy routine, causing a mirror to reveal the message on Kenjaku's face. They engage in a comedic exchange before Kenjaku takes a more serious tone.

Kenjaku calls their interaction a success and deduces that Takaba's Cursed Technique is linked to his self-confidence. Takaba emphasizes that he cares about others' opinions more than Kenjaku's.

A staring contest ensues, but it ends with Takaba laughing first. Kenjaku punches him, and Takaba questions if Kenjaku is genuinely funnier than he is. Takaba crawls forward, encounters a dead body, and grapples with the disturbing reality of his situation.
