Jujutsu Kaisen has been going through a transition phase. The anime and manga are going through it at the same time. Even though the fans are excited about new transitions, Gege Akutami might walk on a different path. After Satoru Gojo, they are on the verge of nerfing down another powerful character. Fans got to know it through the leaks of chapter 240.
Jujutsu Kaisen has several strong characters. But few are as cunning as Kenjaku. Due to this aspect, he has become one of the best antagonists in the anime world. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 240 leaks are circulating the internet. It features the continuation of the fight between Kenjaku and Takaba Fumihiko. Even though Takaba was initially considered a strong character, Gege Akutami might change that soon.
Takaba Might Be Nerfed By Gege Akutami
Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, often powers up the antagonists by nerfing down the heroes. The fans said they did that during the fight between Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna. They might follow the same pattern during Kenjaku vs. Takaba Fumihiko. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 239 ended with a shock on Kenjaku’s face since his attacks did not affect Takaba.
The leaks of chapter 240 suggest that something different has happened. In the beginning, Takaba was in total control, and none of Kenjaku’s attacks caused any harm to Takaba. Kenjaku could not figure out his weakness. After failing to hit any of his attacks, Kenjaku started to study Takaba during the battle. Takaba presents himself as a comic character and tries to make Kenjaku laugh.
At this moment, Kenjaku understood that Takaba’s cursed technique depended on his ability to make other people laugh. So, when Takaba was trying to make him laugh, Kenjaku tried harder to make Takaba laugh. Ultimately, Takaba laughed, and Kenjaku landed his first blow. Slowly, he started to understand his technique better and started to land more blows.

Takaba’s cursed technique is unique, and Kenjaku figuring out it so quickly has made the fans question Gege Akutami’s ideals. Gege Akutami might not want anyone to get stronger than Gojo Satoru. That is why they might have nerfed Takaba or ignored his cursed technique. But it is all just speculation since the battle has yet to conclude.
What Is Takaba’s Cursed Technique In Jujutsu Kaisen?
Takaba Fumihiko is a strange character. His true potential is yet to be revealed. During Gojo vs. Sukuna, Gojo’s students discussed their next step if Gojo loses. They thought it was best to send Takaba to ambush Kenjaku due to his cursed technique. Before revealing the technique, the manga panel shifted to Takaba vs. Kenjaku.
Making Takaba laugh, made Kenjaku have the upper hand. But this also sends Takaba into a depressing mode since he never thought that there was another person who was funnier than him. Seeing that his cursed technique is based on him being funny, it is speculated to be something of a reality manipulation cursed technique.
Takaba getting into depression will most likely see him go through character development, which will further boost him as a Jujutsu Sorcerer. The fight between Kenjaku and Takaba is yet to end. So, there are plenty of things that can happen. Everything depends on Gege Akutami. Moreover, they are yet to reveal Takaba’s full potential.
