Chapter 238 recap

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238 began with Kashimo analyzing Sukuna’s body via x-ray, coming to the conclusion that his body was utterly perfect in terms of sorcery standards. He added that between his physique, the Cursed Tools at his disposal, and his massive pool of Cursed Energy, Sukuna is essentially the most “beautiful” sorcerer to have ever lived.

Sukuna then launched a massive Dismantle at Kashimo, who realized it as the same move that finished off Gojo. Sukuna then began discussing how someone once ranted to her about love, asking Kashimo if he was once strong. Sukuna then launched a massive net of Dismantle attacks at Kashimo, one which was seemingly inescapable despite Kashimo’s skill and strength.

Sukuna then lectured Kashimo about how all the fighters who came to challenge him never cursed him in defeat, but wanted his recognition. He asserted that by fighting and defeating them, Kashimo recognized them and showed them the purest form of love he could, as did Sukuna with Gojo and all others who ever challenged him.

The chapter then ended with Uraume and Kinji Hakari returning to the battlefield as Hiromi Higuruma and Yuji Itadori debuted.

What to expect (speculative)

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 239 will likely begin with Sukuna continuing to tease Yuji and Hiromi, questioning what they can hope to achieve on the battlefield that Gojo and Kashimo couldn’t.

This will also likely lead into a conversation about Yuji’s new arms, which are seemingly indicative of him using a new Cursed Technique or Cursed Tool to fight Sukuna with.

While Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 239 is almost certain to not reveal the full picture of Itadori’s arms, fans are likely to at least get a tease or some basic information as to what they are.

From here, the rest of the issue will likely focus on Yuji and Hiromi beginning their apparent tag-team fight against Sukuna, likely showing them at least able to make some headway early on.
