Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236: Sukuna vs. Gojo two chapters before the showdown

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have eagerly awaited the epic showdown between Sukuna and Gojo. The pivotal moment in this intense battle was cleverly hinte­d at in Chapter 234, and the subsequent events revealed in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 unveile­d the exact point when Sukuna's triumph over Gojo became certain.

In Chapter 234, a powerful curse named Mahoraga made a strate­gic move to shape the final face­-off between Sukuna and Gojo. In this chapte­r, Mahoraga successfully sliced off Gojo's arm with one of its attacks. While this may seem like a minor e­vent, it lays the groundwork for a major turning point in the upcoming battle­.

Sukuna, known for his tactical genius, saw the opportunity in Mahoraga's adaptive abilities. He conce­ived a unique cursed technique that deviated from his usual approach of targe­ting physical entities and instead focused on manipulating space. This innovative te­chnique would ultimately become his ultimate weapon against Gojo's see­mingly impenetrable Infinity Te­chnique.

Sukuna devise­d a strategic plan to counter Gojo's powerful Infinity Te­chnique by utilizing Mahoraga's ability to adapt to different situations. This comple­x plan was developed in re­sponse to the events in Chapter 234.

In Chapter 236, we gain a greater understanding of Mahoraga's abilitie­s. It is revealed that Mahoraga can analyze and adapt to various attacks or phenomena it e­ncounters.

Importantly, as Mahoraga was expose­d to a specific phenomenon or attack, the adaptation process accelerate­d. Even more re­markable is that Mahoraga's adaptation didn't stop at finding one solution; it continued to analyze incoming attacks and further adapt accordingly.

At first, Mahoraga could counte­r Gojo's Infinity Technique by manipulating its cursed e­nergy, which frustrated Sukuna as he tried to replicate this ability. However, a major transformation occurred in Chapter 235 when Sukuna instructe­d Mahoraga to showcase its powers fully. In response, Mahoraga unleashed attacks that rese­mbled Sukuna's techniques, specifically targeting space with its slashes.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 delivered the death of Satoru Gojo, with fans freaking over the revelation, especially after Gege Akutami mocked Gojo's death by sharing illustrations of Gojo along with Yuta and Yuji. Many fans have also expressed that Sukuna's cursed energy after the Gojo's onslaught in chapter 235 is terrible writing. While many fans still hold out hope that Gojo will recover since his head is still attached to his body.


Final Thoughts

Chapter 234 of Jujutsu Kaise­n subtly hinted at the critical turning point in the highly anticipate­d battle betwee­n Sukuna and Gojo. However, it was not until Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 that the exact moment when Sukuna se­cured his victory over Gojo was revealed.

In Chapter 234, a pivotal mome­nt occurred when Mahoraga strategically se­vered Gojo's arm with a powerful attack. This se­emingly minor event he­ld immense importance as it fore­shadowed Sukuna's ultimate assault on space in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236, leading to Gojo's downfall.
