Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 232 spoilers and raw scans: Mahoraga’s fatal attack puts Gojo's survival in question

Returning after the Obon break, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 was expected to provide a resolution to the Mahoraga situation. The recently released spoilers reveal that the resolution comes at a great cost to Gojo. The official translation is set to be released on Monday, August 21, 2023, at 12 am JST in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump issue 38.

In the previous chapter, Gojo realized that it would take four turns of the wheel for Mahoraga to adapt to Limitless. However, it could not be used while Sukuna was using Domain Amplification. Gojo vowed to kill Sukuna before the third turn was completed.

According to the spoilers, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 is titled Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 10.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 spoilers show Mahoraga adapting to Limitless and attacking Gojo as Sukuna survives

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 spoilers begin with Mahoraga’s wheel turning its second spin. With only 2 spins left to go, Gojo takes extreme measures by wrapping his hands with “Limitless: Blue” while attacking Sukuna’s blind spots. He kicks Sukuna away just as the Wheel turns a third time.

Yuji asks whether Mahoraga adapts to a technique by being exposed to it over time, or by being hit with a focused attack from said technique several times. Kashimo says it can be either, but Kusakabe notes that Gojo is only using Blue, likely so that Mahoraga, and by default Sukuna, cannot adapt to “Cursed Technique Reversal: Red.”

Gojo soon hits Sukuna with Red from a close range, but the attack does not do much damage since Sukuna wrapped himself in Domain Amplification. The attack still worked to a degree since the Domain Amplification can reduce the impact of Limitless but not a strengthened Blue or reversed Red. Sukuna taunts Gojo that he is getting sloppy and telegraphing his movements clearly enough for anyone to avoid.

Gojo reminds him that the Red has not exploded yet and it circles back and hits Sukuna in the back. Gojo had planned for the Red to circle the building and hit Sukuna effectively. Gojo wastes no time in dealing a critical blow to Sukuna with a Black Flash. The attack seemingly knocks Sukuna out with the wheel falling away from his head.

However, the wheel turns the fourth time and Gojo is suddenly trapped in shadows. Yuta and Yuji scream out as Mahoraga reappears and attacks Gojo with a slash.

Final thoughts

The editor's note at the beginning of the chapter states that no one can stop Destiny. This brings to mind Reggie's words to Megumi when he wished the boy the most painful death. In all probability, Akutami is unlikely to let Megumi survive this ordeal. Since the wheel turned four times, Mahoraga should have adapted to Gojo's Limitless by now.

The chapter has once again put Gojo’s survival in question. But given that mangaka Gege Akutami has kept Gojo alive by introducing one Deus Ex Machina after another, it’s unlikely that they would kill the character now. This is further solidified by the editor's message at the end of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232, which reads:

“That sword will reach out to his life.”

According to the Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 spoilers, there will be no break next week. The chapter was published following the Obon break, and the spoilers themselves had been delayed by a day.
