The combat should move forward now that Gojo significantly outclasses Sukuna and the King of Curses has been taken off guard.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232, Gojo Satoru and ancient sorcerer Sukuna continued their deathmatch, with the fierce struggle wearing both of them down. Gojo has finally been able to strike the King of Curses with a critical blow despite his rising exhaustion. The sorcerer used his Red method, which releases twice as much energy as Blue, to strike Sukuna before using a Black Flash to close out the chapter. The curse is completely gone, therefore Gojo has the perfect opportunity to carry out any plans he may have.
Sukuna and Gojo have been fighting one on one up until now, but with Sukuna out of the picture, it would be a great opportunity to add some new foes and put less emphasis on a direct confrontation. It was anticipated that the Jujutsu High students would come during the conflict because they had obviously prepared to do so, most likely to free Megumi’s soul from Sukuna’s control. In addition, a few people were practically created into the story with the sole purpose of engaging in combat with Sukuna. As a result, the deathmatch’s one-on-one structure will probably soon come to an end.
Itadori might be able to save Megumi’s Soul
The jujutsu society as a whole was depicted preparing for Gojo and Sukuna’s duel ten chapters prior to this manga issue. Jujutsu sorcerers, including Itadori Yuji, Sukuna’s former vessel, were all present when sending Gojo out to the battlefield since they were prepared for any eventuality. The kid was depicted working with second-year Sensei Atsuya Kusakabe on a highly intriguing form of training.
Fans theorised after witnessing the two’s interaction that nothing was as it seemed because Itadori and Kusakabe were acting so drastically out of character. From this point, the theory that Itadori was practising body switching with Kusakabe after Choso gave her Yuki Tsukumo’s soul study took off, making the youngster a crucial player in saving Megumi Fushiguro. Itadori could be able to take Fushiguro’s soul from the body Sukuna turned over if he can effectively swap or manipulate souls. In addition, he was ready for this situation; otherwise, Itadori wouldn’t have worked so hard to master soul-swapping.
Jujutsu Kaisen frequently explores the concept of soul manipulation. From adversary Mahito’s idle transformation to Riko Amanai’s Star Plasma Vessels fusing souls with Tengen, it has been made abundantly obvious that souls may be handled, manipulated, merged, and more. The idea that Itadori will save Fushiguro by engaging in some kind of soul-swapping is incredibly well-founded. There is no better moment for the young sorcerer to take action than while Sukuna is unconscious because he has familiarity with the subject having already served as a receptacle for another soul.
Kashimo Is Ready To Battle Sukuna
One of the most exciting death matches in the series so far featured Hajime Kashimo and Kinji Hakari, with the reborn ancient sorcerer being nothing less than amazed by Hakari’s cutting-edge fighting style. The two traded blows throughout the Culling Games, and because they were so evenly matched, it was never clear which way the conflict would go. Ultimately, Hakari won, and Kashimo demanded that he be killed. However, after a remarkably cordial dialogue, Kashimo decided to work with Hakari in exchange for the opportunity to take on Sukuna.
Kashimo’s character evolution is therefore dependent on a conflict with Sukuna. He was once introduced as a strong foe that challenged even Hakari, a sorcerer whose method temporarily renders him immortal. However, he has subsequently made very few appearances. If he doesn’t go up against the King of Curses, his role becomes nearly wholly unnecessary. It ought to be safe to infer that this won’t be an instance of potential being wasted because Hakari kept him alive for a reason.
As closely as the spectators, Kashimo is observing the fight in anticipation of his opportunity to participate and the realisation of his vow to Hakari. The sorcerer has complete autonomy, so there’s no way he would be waiting so patiently if Gojo hadn’t already agreed that he would in fact receive the chance to meet Sukuna. Realistically, Kashimo would have either put up a struggle (and been vanquished by the several sorcerers around him) or just accepted the defeat and went away completely if he had met up with all the sorcerers as he did and been denied this opportunity.
Kashimo is still there, intently observing the contest, indicating that he has been guaranteed a spot in the fight. The ancient sorcerer will take part in the conflict if he is to do his persona any justice at all.
All Sorcerers Are Ready To Help Gojo
Everyone in the offensive force from the jujutsu community is observing the fierce deathmatch thanks to Mei Mei’s crows. As a precaution, all sorcerers are assembled and available, with one in particular fervently hoping Gojo triumphs. As one of the three active special-grade sorcerers, Yuta Okkotsu is now the second-strongest sorcerer in the verse. Okkotsu would therefore be the first to be anticipated to go into battle if anything were to happen to Gojo. Using skills like Hakari and Maki only makes sense because, in addition to Yuta, every sorcerer is available at Gojo’s whim to aid him throughout this battle.
It would be odd for Gojo to go into his battle with Sukuna without a strategy, and it almost certainly would involve the sorcerers he’s trained. In anticipation of his signal, each of his pupils is keeping watch, analysing the conflict, and continuing to view this as a lesson from their Sensei. Hakari and Yuta were the only two people in the room who had ever taken a punch from Gojo, which indicated that he thought highly of them as he put them through his demanding approach. The Jujutsu High instructor would never trust anyone more than his own students who had received instruction from him.
The following actions after Sukuna’s knockout would be to safely rescue Megumi and restrict Sukuna’s capacity to utilise Reverse Cursed Technique and cure himself, assuming Gojo isn’t neglecting Fushiguro’s health or his own exhaustion. The one-on-one format of the war up to this point will soon have to end since Gojo has definitely been plotting and has a vast array of resources at his disposal. As the scheme starts to fall apart, more characters should soon come, assisting Gojo in keeping the advantage he has worked so hard to gain.
