In the latest sneak peek into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 236 introduces us to a rather enigmatic character known as Hajime Kashimo. While avid fans of the franchise might already be well-acquainted with him, others may find themselves intrigued and wondering about this new addition to the story.
The initial revelations in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 have left a significant impact on the fanbase, and not all of it is positive. Many fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment and criticism, all because of the shocking demise of one of the series’ most beloved characters, Gojo Satoru.
In the upcoming chapter, we are promised one last glimpse of Gojo, and fans are already preparing to bid farewell to this iconic character, as indicated by the early leaks.
However, with Gojo’s departure, it would be unwise to assume that no one else stands a chance against the formidable Sukuna. There are several formidable characters in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, including Yuji, and there is potential for Hajime Kashimo to play a significant role in the fight against Sukuna.
So, Who Exactly is Hajime Kashimo in Jujutsu Kaisen?
Hajime Kashimo is an ancient sorcerer who struck a fateful deal with Kenjaku, granting him a new body to continue his battles. Over the course of his long life, he engaged in countless battles against other sorcerers. However, as time passed, he grew weary of the same old skirmishes and began actively seeking out more worthy adversaries.
When he received a new body as part of the Culling Game, he engaged in combat with 40 players and emerged victorious, leaving a trail of death in his wake. It was during this time that he resolved to hunt down the most formidable opponent of all: Sukuna.
Throughout his life, Kashimo deliberately concealed the true extent of his Cursed Energy from his adversaries. He reserved his full power exclusively for his ultimate target, Sukuna, refusing to waste it on anyone else.
Widely regarded as the most powerful sorcerer of his era, Kashimo believed that his energy should not be squandered on those he considered weak. This conviction led him to accept Kenjaku’s offer, resulting in his reincarnation in a younger, more potent body. With this newfound lease on life, Hajime Kashimo now stands poised to confront Sukuna after many long years of anticipation.
Ending Notes
With Gojo’s demise and Kashimo’s emergence on the battlefield, readers can look forward to the possibility of an epic showdown between Kashimo and Sukuna in the forthcoming chapters. Additionally, before taking on Sukuna, Kashimo faces the daunting challenge of defeating Mahoraga. Given Mahoraga’s formidable power, as demonstrated by its role in Gojo’s demise, this will undoubtedly be a challenging battle. However, the manga hints at a potential weakness – Mahoraga’s vulnerability to simultaneous attacks. This vulnerability could serve as an opening for Kashimo to overcome this formidable adversary.
In the evolving world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the introduction of Hajime Kashimo brings fresh intrigue and excitement, leaving fans eager to see how this powerful sorcerer will impact the unfolding narrative. As the story unfolds, readers can anticipate thrilling battles, unexpected twists, and the relentless pursuit of ultimate power in the realm of Jujutsu sorcery.
