Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 233: Exact Release Date and Time, Where to Read, and More

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 233 will be published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #39 on Monday, August 28, 2023, at 12 am JST. It will be available to international readers in the digital format on Viz and Shueisha’s affiliated online platforms.

Readers await Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 233 with bated breath as the previous issue ended on a cliffhanger hinting at Gojo’s death yet again. The chapter will likely show Gojo’s struggle against Mahoraga and if or how he wins that fight. It is unlikely that mangaka Gege Akutami will switch points of view here.

Recap of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232, titled “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 10”, Gojo mostly used “Lapse: Blue” to prevent Mahoraga from adapting to any other attacks. However, he used “Reversal: Red” at an opportune time to deal significant damage to Sukuna.

He then used Black Flash to knock Sukuna out completely. However, despite his best attempts, Mahoraga’s wheel completed four turns. At the end of the attack, Gojo’s Feet were trapped in shadows as Mahoraga appeared and slashed him across the front.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 233 (speculation)

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 233 is expected to focus on the showdown between Mahoraga and Gojo, with Sukuna either being largely absent or making a sudden recovery out of nowhere. Gojo’s expression in the previous chapter has led fans to believe that he does have a plan to counter Mahoraga and will easily win this fight, as he has been winning against Sukuna all along.

At this point, this battle has only solidified the belief that Gojo is unbeatable and Sukuna cannot defeat him. At the very least, he cannot do so while still in Megumi’s body, which raises the suspicion that Sukuna is still trying to get back his original body. How that is possible when he has already used the body in place of his 20th finger remains to be seen.

On the same note, readers often forget that Sukuna is yet to consume his 20th finger. This is also the logical defense against Megumi’s immediate execution, the same way it was for Yuji. Should Sukuna get a hold of said finger, the battle with Gojo will take an interesting turn, and the chance of Megumi’s survival will reduce to absolute zero.

One thing to keep in mind is that Sukuna has only used Mahoraga from Megumi's repertoire so far. He still has Shikigami like Madoka or Bansho up his sleeve. While it's evident that those Shikigami cannot hold a candle against Gojo, they nonetheless provide a solid backup. It would be prudent to expect an appearance from one or more of Megumi's Shikigami in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 233.
