#This situation reminds me of Kenjaku lying to other characters..

(JJK 224 Spoilers)

All this and that about Megumi dying at the hands of Gojo in this fight or not being cared for has me more and more convinced there's absolutely plans for him to be saved. Gojo has death flags (or likeliest-to-be-taken-out-of-this-fight flags), so Sukuna as Megumi isn't going to be defeated that easily. Gojo may or may not be bluffing about mourning Megumi after killing Sukuna. But either way, Kashimo has been wanting to fight Sukuna and Yuuji has Yuki's journal, seemingly a soul swapping cursed technique, and trained with Kasukabe, so there's more coming to this fight that they have been knowingly planning for.

We may not know everything Gojo is actually thinking, but I have complete faith in Yuuji's determination to save Megumi and I can't see a plan not being made to kill Sukuna AND save Megumi. Whether or not that's successful remains to be seen. There's no way Yuuji was training a soul swapping technique just for fighting Kenjaku. Yes, absolutely he could die lol but there’s no way yuuji isn't going to try to save him if there’s even the smallest chance of it working—If there’s anyone in this series who would do everything to save the other, its Yuuji and Megumi for each other.

Talking more about this chapter because why not

It’s so very clear that this manga is NOT ending this year. Actually impossible unless Takaba magically solves every problem in the next 4 chapters. Gege’s editor already said like it wasn’t ending yet, but entering that phase. Hoping this phase includes more flashbacks because I’m not dropping my intense desire to see more of the Heian era, especially with the culling games and Kenjaku, Sukuna, Uraume, Tengen, Yorozu, etc. Aaaaa I’ll be so sad if nothing comes of it.

This chapter was hilarious. I’m sure there were a ton of references, but it didn’t feel that lost in translation. Kenjaku and the special grade getting the isekai treatment of getting run over (or Yusuke treatment with the other YYH reference) was ridiculous.

I liked how absurd this chapter was, but also how interesting Takaba’s technique is and how it manages to reveal a LOT about both of their characters.

Takaba’s powers involving soul resonance is satisfying, since that reads to me that, while Takaba’s humor is influencing the situation and kenjaku, their interactions are not completely disingenuous. I don’t think Kenjaku is lying at all when they think that this fight is a part of what makes the culling games worth it and imo I can’t see this fight working with any other character. They’re surprisingly compatible. Which shouldn’t be surprising knowing Takaba’s backstory now and all the tidbits we’ve gotten of Kenjaku’s motives and emotions

Sometimes it feels like I’ve read a completely different chapter when I check tags online since I’ve seen only a few people being this up at all. But there was absolutely something between Kenjaku and Takaba, right?? Genuinely, with the compliments, partnership, loneliness, feeling joy/blushing moments?? Look. I know it’s between one of the main villains and an initially gag character. But this is even more than what took people to see yuuta and maki or choso and yuki as a canon pair. But maybe these chapters completely ruined my brain or people disregard it because it’s comedic. Either way, I’m fully expecting Kenjaku to kill Takaba

Doctor and nurse kenjaku outfits were my favorites! It goes with their mad scientist trope of a character. I can’t believe there’s been endless wardrobe changes after I complained that Kenjaku always wears the same geto cosplay.

Already saw people bring this up, but the last page reminded me of the geto and gojo cover. Interested in seeing where this goes
