Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236: Major spoilers to expect

With the release week for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 finally at hand, fans eagerly await the alleged spoilers and raw scans for the upcoming installment to drop. Although nothing will be official until Shueisha’s formal release of the issue, the series’ spoiler process and known leakers have been proven historically accurate.

Likewise, fans are desperate to discover the alleged Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 spoilers, especially considering the current state of Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna’s fight. Unfortunately, fans will still have to wait at least another day, possibly even longer, before the alleged spoilers and raw scans are released.

That being said, there are one of two significant directions fans can expect Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 to take, either of which is unfortunately generally mutually exclusive. While Akutami may find a way out of what appears to be a very binary situation, it’s more likely than not that this will prove to be the case.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 likely to establish a victor in Gojo versus Sukuna, but may not be who fans expect

Heading into Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236, the predominant narrative among the series’ fanbase is that Gojo winning the fight is disappointing. While not necessarily a disappointing one, many fans preferred the scenario in which Sukuna was the victorious one. They believe his 1000 years' worth of experience and expertise in cursed techniques should give him the winning edge.

However, series author and illustrator Gege Akutami could set up a major swerve for the series in its coming issue. While it seems that Gojo will take the win, Sukuna could have one final trick up his sleeve to secure his victory. Even better yet, the two’s fight could end with both killing each other, considering Sukuna’s current wounds and what moves he could pull on Gojo.

In any case, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 will likely start with a Sukuna flashback focusing on his origins in the Heian era. This might almost certainly comprise most of the issue but is unlikely to be the upcoming release’s sole focal point. From here, the scene will likely transition back to Gojo versus Sukuna, where a few routes are possible.

The first, seemingly likely, is for Gojo to finish Sukuna with another Hollow Purple or one of his other Cursed Techniques. Considering his mortal wounds, Sukuna would likely be unable to counterattack or even evade a point-blank range offensive from Gojo. He’d probably die as a result, with the chapter ending by officially declaring Gojo the winner.

Alternatively, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 could see Sukuna use one more trick up his sleeve. There are, after all, still Shikigami from the Ten Shadows Technique that Sukuna hasn’t used, as well as the Chimera Shadow Garden Domain Expansion. He also has Mahoraga, the King of Shikigamis, at his disposal, who has proved a headache for Gojo throughout their fight.

This may even lead to both their deaths, considering the wounds Sukuna already has, resulting in a genuinely pyrrhic victory for Jujutsu society and fans alike. However, a double-death scenario seems unlikely, considering the backlash it may cause from fans. That said, fans believe Akutami’s love of torturing his fanbase with such results should never be underestimated.
