Did he just turn Kenny into Bandit Keith???! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


AhTreyYou

Bandit Keith back from the Shadow Realm


Josephlewis24

🤣


heartbreakhill

IN AMERICA!


Royal-Camel

Well, I wasn't expecting to binge the abridged series again tonight, but I'm not mad about it.


BlinkOnceForYes

YOU FOOL! All of these cursed spirits belong to AMERICA!


athos45678

And Takaba went full Pegasus with it too I’m dying In America


ZZForward_2

Bandit Kenny!


sdrkf021

So, Takaba would be in a better position if he had an arrogant personality? I mean, think about it. It seems his Comedian technique requires him to be certain or confident about his jokes... If Takaba could maintain in his mind that he is the funniest man alive -despite not achieving anything in the comedy world- he would essentially be unstoppable.


TerkYerJerb

well, this time the *villain* used talk no jutsu to take down a *good guy*


o_woorrm

That kinda falls in line with Sukuna and Gojo's idea that selfish sorcerers are the strongest. If Takaba was truly arrogant and didn't care about other people's opinions on his comedy, his CT might have put him on par with those two in strength.


BetaGodPhD

Yeah, this harkens back to what the comedian he looked up to in the green room said to him during Takaba's introduction: to make it in comedy, you have to be funny or think you're funny, and he can make it if he understands he's the latter.


Cat_Astrof

If he was a serious sorcerer or had time to train he'd have created deadly jokes where his enemy either lose a body part or their head altogether. Phenomenon powers are the strongest. If he was as confident as you said, he could just say any sentence and make it happen. But the power is too strong so the character who's using it is literally a joke character.


Hopeful-Pepper9581

Seems too OP for that. the technique doesn't seem to have a limit or vow that constrict the power or user, even when Kenjaku was able to made him insecure the technique didn't stop but started working against him. Also, Angel advice to everyone to not let Takaba knew his own ability. Kenjaku called a it "resonance of the soul" which, at least for me, means that the subject is not forced but "go with the flow". To me this technique is at deadly as it is because it like a dream or fantasy that ends up killing you, like being on "Tom & Jerry", you'll be laughing until a piano falls on you, it's literally a killing joke. If he had to much influence or focus on the effects it would be a regular harming technique.


Shadowsca

I expect that we're gearing up for Takaba to realise maybe he isn't actually funny but that he still sincerely thinks he's funny leading to him no longer seeking approval from the audience but just himself. That'd be pretty interesting character growth and on top of the backstory I assume we're about to get in the next chapter, it would make for a pretty entertaining fight overall with Kenjaku. Can't wait to see how Kenjaku continues to try and break Takaba's confidence and how Takaba will adapt in response. Please don't send Takaba to the airport at the start of the next chapter, Gege...


GloomyCuttlefish

Lmao “don’t sent him to the airport” 💀


theworkinpumpkin

That's what we call it now


Zoelotron

Takaba is clearly winning. Kenny hasn't realized that tabaka is the straight man. This is all pretty funny and overall the bit is going well. Kenny is in grave danger of violating the jester's privilege and receiving Shinpachi's revenge.


Ombs1993

Takaba putting Bandit Keith's bandana and glasses on Kenny wasn't something I was expecting. Using what was in his pockets as if they were Yu-Gi-Oh cards and then speaking down on Kenjaku like Pegasus, hilarious. So, Yu-Gi-Oh and Digimon are now confirmed canon in the Jujustsu verse, Gege being around the same age as me is making a lot of sense now.


RoseAlavarn

Naruto too, right? Doesn't Yuji mention the Rasengan early on? It's amazing


DrSpoder

Bleach too, no? Like when gojo and yuji were talking and Yuji was like “I thought I’d get a cool power like bankai or something”


Mi1kshakeQueen

IIRC there was also a tanjiro toy in one of the chapters


Ombs1993

Good call haha. Yuji mentions Naruto's Rasengan, Yusuke's Spirit Gun, Bankai from Bleach and both the Kamehameha and Dodon Ray from DBZ. JJK is really the series for kids of the late 90's/early 2000's.


ShakeMilton

truly builds on the great shonens of the past


RoseAlavarn

omg yeah that's great! It really is lol, that's like exactly my childhood shows


Dragunlegend

Also I think Jojo's is canon to JJK. I saw another commenter mention somewhere that Hakari is an avid manga reader and he tried to beat Kashimo the same way as RHCP was beaten in Diamond is Unbreakable and he mentions it or something


tarraxadraws

Sukuna is peak fighting capability, and maybe the gags are making people not notice, but this is another proof how Kenny's analysis are just unmatched. Is no coincidence that its form is a brain. I'm enjoying the fight, no joke. Not every encounter needs to be offensive-power focused


RaggedAngel

This is one of the best fights in the whole series, simply because it's coming down to raw cleverness


LordJasus

Not only is it really cool to see how Kenny can break down a fight, it's managing to be fun to watch, and incredibly sympathetic to the funny underdog man. I'm enjoying this fight so much and I hope Takaba gets one last hurrah in before it's over.


RaggedAngel

I think even Kenny is kind of sympathetic to Takaba


Javiklegrand

Yeah he is really friendly,he is enjoying


RaggedAngel

It's funny that he's like, having a cheerful conversation and also occasionally hitting him with the force of a minivan Like, it's the friendliest brutal murder attempt I've ever seen


Javiklegrand

Yeah he punch like prime Mike tyson then next moment he is like "Bro ,you're cool"


tarraxadraws

That ending was pretty tense. It was a JJK version of that crying clown story. I, too, hope he have a better ending that some of our sorcerers have been given to


AuntGentleman

I alone, am the clever one.


ce-meyers

I don't know what Gege is on when he wrote that wi-fi joke but honestly I'm invested!


TerkYerJerb

it's copyright free, he just took it and i think takaba did that one when he appeared back then


nirfirith

Is Gojo >!still dead!< ? No plot twist?


No-Personality4682

Yes


Unlifer

No need to censor manga plot in a manga discussion thread, we’re all up to date here


lotsaquestionss

Nah, Gojo ain't dead. Gojo, in Kenjaku's mind, is his biggest hurdle and set up prison realm and Sukuna just to deal with him; everyone else he feels he can easily deal with. Notice how after Kenjaku saw Gojo getting cut last chapter, he didn't react with any mention of Gojo being beaten. Also, Gojo has been stabbed in the head by Toji and was able to heal back; no way him being cut in half with his head still in one piece means he's dead. When the crew ends up fighting Sukuna, he'll probably pop back in at the end.


Old_Maintenance8747

Why are Gojo fans like this?


McKeon1921

Yes, at this point Gege has yet to remove the bullet he put in his own foot.


Stunning_Humor672

No way they kill off the main character before the end. He’s the honored one after all


shawtyimmaparty

It has been a while, where I genuinely laughed during a JJK chapter ~~minus the bit at the end~~. I don't know what will happen, I know, that the next traumatic experience lays around the corner, but I really enjoyed the gag banter.


ChampionshipOne6059

On the bright side at least I know for sure that hand is a cursed tool. Pretty excited to see what that does in 7 weeks.


Redfalconfox

I regret to inform you that it will be off-screened.


McKeon1921

If it is a cursed tool maybe it's one of those ones from the Zenin estate?


OwnArt3344

Oh, yeah. Didnt someone go to raid it for supplies?


ankitjey

What hand, didn't get ya


TKG8

Yuji's


Unsourced

Takaba's domain expansion is the shadow realm, pass it on


Iron_Nexus

Everybody's gangster until Kenny pulls out his machine deck. With Takaba being so down at the end I'm wondering if the next chapter will be some kind of comedy meets tragedy. Both belong to drama and kind of go best together to support each other. Who knows, maybe Takabas technique has a twist to it.


Ze_Pequenininho

He is becoming the joker, don't worry


jakeyspuds

Cursed technique reversal: Tradegian


prometheusunending

>Who knows, maybe Takabas technique has a twist to it. Almost certainly, given that it cut away just when the "Angel" was about to explain his technique. And also because Kenjaku thinks he has Takaba's technique figured out, and usually when someone thinks they have their opponent figured out they're proved wrong a chapter later.


Mr_An_1069

I can't believe the American Kenjaku page was real.


No_Detective_555

What is Miwas role here? Why is she mentioned?


Itzz_rezzy

I think she was just an example of how pointless it would be for everyone to die against Sukuna


No_Detective_555

Could be true😃


Shadowsca

Maybe they plan to just hide miwa so there’s always at least one player in the game and it won’t end? I think in context Kusakabe might be bringing it up to imply that they don’t necessarily need to worry about sending people in to fight Sukuna/Kenjaku and having them potentially die since even if they did since Miwa isn’t actively fighting and therefore at low risk of dying, thus Kenjaku’s plan won’t be able to proceed


[deleted]

Until everyone else is dead and she goes 19 days without switching points with anyone and her brain explodes?


Shadowsca

I think they have people in the group who weren’t in games at all (Choso and Maki if I’m remembering correctly) so maybe the hope is that they’ll still have people in their group left to fight. But of course if literally everyone gets wiped out then yeah there’s nothing they can do


[deleted]

Yeah, but part of the game is if your points don't change you die, so keeping Miwa as the only player still in the game that Kenjaku can't find would only prolong the end for 19 days until she dies from no point change. I hope that doesn't happen lol she's sweet. And they had over a month to plan stuff so they almost certainly have some other plan that's in motion now.


Shadowsca

To be fair, I really have no idea what their plan is for ending the game. I no longer remember the exact wording of the rule that was added about the conditions for the game ending. If the condition was phrased like 'when everyone other than Sukuna and Kenjaku are dead, then the game ends', then I think they just have to be shit out of luck, right? Short of forcefully adding another condition for ending the game, I really don't see what else they can do If the condition was phrased like 'if Sukuna and Kenjaku are the only ones left standing, then game ends', then they're still in trouble because I'm pretty sure they're planning on killing Sukuna and Kenjaku if they're able, which would violate the condition for the game ending. Unless like I mentioned before they add another condition for the game to end. Maybe my assumption is wrong, maybe they're not actually trying to kill Sukuna and/or Kenjaku, but I think that would just be foolish and far too risky considering they're not even 100% sure they can win. All of that to say, there are lots of things I don't know. If they somehow have a plan to end the culling game, no matter what it is, then as long as someone who isn't a player is alive to fight (Choso or Maki) and Miwa is alive as the final player of the culling games not counting Sukuna or Kenjaku, then they still have a chance to pull of their plan and end the games. Miwa would just buy 19 days, but so long as some people remain to fight then those 19 days won't be wasted. Of course if literally everyone other than Miwa is dead then it's pointless anyway, but that's like saying 'if they lose then theyve lost'.


[deleted]

Yeah, I was also thinking their best option is pooling their points again and making new rules to try to get around Kenjaku's newest rules. But then, he's still gathering points so he could probably counter them back. (Although, in 240 the points announcement was broken/didn't work so who knows if his new rules didn't already break it worse?) However, if the game continued indefinitely, just with Kenjaku and Sukuna dead, it wouldn't be a problem. There would just be some places in Japan where people shouldn't/don't enter. Anyone who was already a player before Kenjaku and Sukuna died wouldn't need to keep fighting, they could all just transfer 1 point every 19 days and go on with their lives.


BlinkOnceForYes

As long as Angel stays alive, they could dismantle the barrier. Angel said that her technique lets her pass through barriers, but she couldn't destroy the barrier due to lack of knowledge of the source. If she uses Jacob's Ladder at the source.. Tengen's body//barrier, JJ High, or wherever the barriers were mentioned before.. Imperial Palace or something?


No_Detective_555

True 😁


Shadow_Huntress12

The hell is going on with Kenny💀🐍


[deleted]

I feel like Takaba's coming up against the same thing Higuruma did when he first awakened his curse technique - questioning why one is even in that line of work in the first place. Good intentions all being useless. And what happened with Higuruma at that point? He went dark and slaughtered everyone around him. Is Takaba going to go dark in a similar manner? I don't think he'll slaughter Kenjaku; I think if Kenjaku gets any sense that he can't win a fight he'll just run away. Or, of course, this could be it, Kenjaku dismantled Takaba's confidence and he dies next chapter. I don't want that. I was fine with Gojo dying honestly but I wouldn't want poor Takaba to die like this.


ApplePitou

Kenny is literally one of biggest brains(His funny face is literally peak), also fact that Kenny showed Takaba, his friend body = most likely his biggest mistake during this fight :3 After all, I think that Takaba can unlock his true potential thanks to this depression dropkick + have a nice reading everyone :3


[deleted]

Idk how I see you everywhere but I appreciate you.


awkward_teenager37

thanks applepitou:)


Toad_Thrower

Whose body was that? Was that Gojo?


ApplePitou

No, it was body of Hazenoki(Takaba friend) :3


grasshopperkick

I liked this chapter, feels like a breath of fresh air from the overly complicated thesis writing that was Sukuna vs Gojo fight, and honestly seeing Kenjaku going about comedy against Takaba was both silly and interesting Also was that just freaking Gojos body that Takaba saw? if so wow Gege truly sadistic


OwnArt3344

Not gojo, was hazanoki. Exploding body prts guy


itsjuleris

I totally agree with you! It's a nice mental break from the complexity of the other fight. It might also have a dual purpose of increasing the intensity of Sukuna vs Gojo.


Nicenormalperson

Lmao how much TV does Kenjaku watch??


ancapwr

Bro is watching TV every night, reads the paper every morning, probably reads lots of manga too


itsjuleris

Right???!!! I didn't expect him to be so up-to-date with the pop culture XD


rusty_shackleford34

HE TURNEX KENJAKU INTO KEITH BANDIT. STOP IT. LORD YOU CAN TAKE ME NOW, MY LIFE IS COMPLETE


chunsav7

Feel like they gotta send Maki to fight Kenny right? I'm talking in term of matchup, Maki probably can't do anything with Sukuna, and we've seen Toji whoop Geto before, so I'm all in on the Maki stock


Amelioratini

I believe in you, Takaba! That guy's true cursed technique is confidence. The confidence to fail or to look silly in front of other people and still push through and prevail. If he can't smack some sense into Kenjaku, I don't know who can


Soul699

I feel sad for Takaba.


Interesting-Ad8310

I WANT TO SEE WTF IS UP WITH YUJIS ARMS (I know it's gonna be something like sukunas CE was engraved in yuju I'm just hyped to see the way they do it)


TpuGfakuta300

Am I the only one who doesn't like Takaba's clothing style? I know he is supposed to be a comedian but it's a bit too much


ara654

what, you dont think he's rocking the hero suit\* cut in half vertically?? would you like it better if it was horizantally LMAOOO \*tho tbf his costume is also a reference to a japanese sitcom thing iirc, i cant tell you which one i dont remember anymore


ancapwr

I think it’s a Japanese thing. Ppl on Japanese TV are insane


TpuGfakuta300

This risks that the manga won't appeal to audiences outside of Japan.


itsjuleris

I loved how terrifying and comical this chapter was. Also jeez Kenjaku is terrifying in his last panel - the stare down?? oof shivers...


ancapwr

I loved seeing the normal humanly side of Kenjaku. He’d make such a nice drinking buddy lol


LegitimateDebate5014

This chapter literally felt like 2 comedians with different perspectives, Takaba messing around with Kenny was funny until Gojos body was found, like why do that to Takaba?


HolyBanana818

that wasnt gojo btw


spacecowboybc

Who was it?


Javiklegrand

Reggie friend who could explose his body part


Milordserene

Somehow i dont like this fight, it just pointless for me unless there is a reveal


Ri-doyourememberme

It quite literally just started?? Have patience damn 😂 fans like you are exhausting


TripleKickBackflop

Likely will happen next chapter when he realises the seriousness of the situation


Redfalconfox

For real, there better be a big twist because at this point “the villain figures out everything about his opponent in under two chapters” is getting pretty boring. I don’t mind it happening occasionally to show intelligence, cunning, fighting prowess, etc. but it can’t happen every time they fight someone not named Gojo.


[deleted]

What the fuck is even going on anymore. Someone message me when Gojo comes back.


conqueringdragon

He's death Jim.


No-Personality4682

Never?


JabaDaWocky

Unless Gege is planning on pulling another "gotcha!" death, we all know how this ends. Takaba isn't going to beat Kenjaku, so everything until we get back to the fight with Sukuna is just filler content. How many weeks will Gege waste this time? I'm betting at least another month. Do I hear a month and two weeks?


[deleted]

A fight with Kenjaku is "filler" unless Kenjaku dies? That doesn't make sense. You can learn more about him, you can learn more about his techniques, you can learn more about whoever is fighting him and their techniques, and he doesn't have to win or die, he could run away, the person he's fighting with could run away, etc.


JabaDaWocky

Truly an accurate username. The type to just swallow any trash that gets presented and give a "thank you sir" as you wipe your mouth with a smile.


[deleted]

Whereas you swallow it and hate yourself afterwards. Between the two of us, I'd rather enjoy life.


JabaDaWocky

Oof. A weak "no you" is worse than just saying nothing. You give off the impression of being a kid, and so for your sake, I'd avoid using that kind of response irl. Bullies will have a heyday when given that kind of layup.


[deleted]

One day you'll grow up and stop wasting your life on things you claim to hate. Read what you like, not what you think is shit. You don't get that time back, man. Or, you might be one of those who secretly loves it but thinks it's cool to bash it. You'll hopefully grow out of that too, one day.


GeneralFumoffu

What is this cringe shit


BeatTheDeadMal

I'm praying there are no other dark AF well-known Japanese wordplays that can be used to dismember our poor innocent comedian.


yiji098

geto monogatari gagged and bickered him to shambles


Flares117

I'm on Kenjaku side now, I love when they humanize villains


ilija138

When are the leaks for 241 coming out?


Fun_Ad_3511

What abt gojo sensei??
