Jujutsu Kaisen: Will Kenjaku Take Over Gojo’s Body?
Kenjaku would become unstoppable if he took over the body of Gojo.
Even though Gojo did incredibly amazing in the fight, he ended up losing and died when Sukuna chopped his body in half. Fans did not get even a second to mourn his death as, immediately after, Kashimo jumped onto the battlefield and, now, Sukuna is currently fighting him. At the same time, another fight seems to have begun and this one is between Hakari and Uraume. While this fight might not be as grand as the one between Kashimo and Sukuna, it is still one that fans are incredibly excited to see.
How Hakari Vs Uraume Began
The basis for the fight between Hakari and Uraume was set in the previous chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. At the very beginning of this chapter, fans saw Kashimo jump head first to fight Sukuna and see his level of strength for himself, however, immediately after he jumped down, he could see a giant block of ice appear from the sky. This block of ice was the size of a tiny meteorite and it was falling towards Sukuna. It was quite unclear at that point as to what exactly this block of ice was, however, it did not take fans long to figure out that the person responsible for bringing this down was none other than Uraume.
On top of the block of ice, fans saw Uraume standing, looking down menacingly, however, it wasn't long until Hakari made his move as well. Fans could see that Hakari attacked from above and behind Uraume and they quickly noticed his presence. That is exactly when this fight was set up in the previous chapter. Hakari mentioned that he cannot let Uraume simply go by and, with that, he tapped into the power of his Domain Expansion, which fans have already seen previously in the story. Meanwhile, Uraume used the power of their cursed technique to counter this and now, these two will continue their fight within the domain that was created by Hakari.
The Strength Of Hakari

Fans already know Hakari to be incredibly powerful. He showed up quite late into the story, right before the Culling Game began, however, the mention of this character was actually made long before that. According to Gojo, Hakari is one of the few sorcerers around who could one day reach his level of strength. He believes that he, along with Yuta, are extremely capable sorcerers. At the same time, Yuta himself believes that Hakari is stronger than him, however, Maki does not believe this claim to be true. Regardless of whether he is stronger than Yuta or not, the fact is that, at the end of the day, he's extremely powerful and capable enough of fighting against even some of the most powerful sorcerers.
Jujutsu Kaisen: The True Strength Of Hajime Kashimo, Explained
Does Hajime Kashimo have any chance against Sukuna?
Fans have previously seen him take on the likes of Kashimo in combat and successfully defeat them. However, it must be noted that this defeat was only possible because Kashimo did not happen to use the power of his cursed technique, which was revealed to the fans only recently. When it comes to his own level of strength, Hakari possesses an outstanding amount of cursed energy. His cursed energy has a very rough edge, which allows him to cut his opponents when he hits them. His Domain Expansion, Idle Death Gamble, which he used in the previous chapter, is his biggest strength.
If he lucks out by lining up three same numbers in this Domain Expansion, he then gets to tap into his unkillable mode. For 4 minutes and 11 seconds, he then gains access to unlimited cursed energy and, more importantly, all his wounds are automatically healed with the Reverse Cursed Technique without him even doing anything. This essentially makes him unkillable and one of the strongest fighters in the entirety of JJK.
The Strength Of Uraume - How Strong Is Uraume In Jujutsu Kaisen?
Uraume is also an extremely powerful user of cursed energy themselves. They have lived for a thousand years and, thus, their experience is off the charts. They have incredible control over cursed energy and even though they might not have as much cursed energy as the likes of Hakari, they are still extremely capable in utilizing what they have. Essentially, they might be one of the most efficient users of cursed energy in the series. Their Cursed Technique is Ice Formation, and, as the name suggests, it allows them to produce as well as manipulate ice according to their will. This ice can be sized according to their will – it can be big, as seen in the previous chapter, or it can be small enough to maintain a small barrier around the user.
Fans have seen their incredible ice manipulation techniques throughout the many arcs of the story. They were even able to block attacks such as Choso's Piercing Blood. Furthermore, they can also rely on the power of Reverse Cursed Technique. This is an ability not many sorcerers can utilize and, as a curse user, Uraume has excellent control over it. They have been seen utilizing this power to full effect on various occasions and that just goes to show that they have great mastery over this skill.
Hakari Vs Uraume - Who Will Win?
It is very difficult to predict a winner in the fine between Hakari and Uraume, however, comparing their abilities, it can be said that Hakari seems to have the advantage in this battle. For one, he has access to Domain Expansion, which gives him a sure hit. If he does luck out and gains his unkillable mode, then Hakari is going to cause all sorts of problems for Uraume. However, if that does not happen, the battle will be much more even than fans will have predicted it to be. With incredible control over ice abilities, Uraume might cause trouble for Hakari. Fans have already seen quite a lot of the main characters fall to their deaths over the course of the last few months and this time, it could be Hakari.
That said, this fight can go either way as both of the sorcerers are extremely talented. By the looks of it, Hakari does have the edge here, given that he has more cursed energy and his base attacks are stronger and rougher. His Domain Expansion also appears to be a massive plus point for him and, if he does luck out, then the battle is all but settled.
However, Uraume is also very skilled and, if they play their cards carefully, they might be able to pull off a victory over Hakari here. Either way, this clash is going to be extremely interesting for the fans to witness and, hopefully, this one will not leave a sour taste in the mouths of the fans, just as many others have in this arc so far.
Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 237, is set to be October 1, 2023.
