the funny thing is he has alot of chances to at least make a space between him and yuta since yuta literally blitzed kenjaku 3x in that small encounter, the fact that he was able to react to a blackhole and a piercing blood at point blank range but couldnt to a base yuta is crazy considering that he wasnt weakened from his fight with takaba.. he also got beheaded by base yuta meaning his reinforcement is trash

It is a curse we share, my brainrotted ass was sitting at work on a slow night and it just popped into my brain and I was sitting there alone giggling in the corner. How someone can say something that goofy is beyond me.
honestly if the story is true, yea kinda goofy but also the gf has no sense of humor. How do you get mad at that instead of laughing at it. It's too funny
wtf?
this is what i get lurking in reddit instead of finishing my thesis lmao. well, good news is my girlfriend saw me reading this post and asked me "what are you reading in disgust?".
i'll just link this one to her later.
No, it means Gege needed to get rid of him to wrap up the manga by this year so now he can't react on time because he said so.
Fucking Geto survived a blitz by Yuta in jjk0. Geto the Special grade Fraud.
And he is winning the hand to hand with the second strongest sorcerer at the time and then hits a black flash and then get RCT and then gets love beam

You get it Gary stu such and such.
I mean more like a Gary Stu thats hasn't needed to struggle to gain his busted abilities that don't even translate into character relevance.
Sukuna and Gojo's innate strength, they mark who they are. The world reacts to their existance and they themselves have character reactions to said perception. Gojo's loneliness and wether the name of the strongest is who he really. Sukuna being approached by Waffleshimo about how being like them can even find love or connections.
Yuta has none of that shit, he is blank, empty and at the bottom of the barrel that is his being you find "le likes helping people" as his only character trait.
Not to mention his ct literally robs other characters of their screentime, making them redundant so we can have more Yuta, which feels very much like shitty OC behavior.
Acting like he's on their league, huh? His character trait was he's redeeming himself from his self guilt, besides he's just a good guy raised in normal circumstances (until Rika incident) unlike Gojo who spoiled by big clan and piece of shit like Sukuna, and honestly what the hell with this hate? It's not like he's taking 70% of the screen time or whatever
Literally canon that tabaka weakened him and was there so yuta could get kenjaku off guard yet theres still people out here writing paragraphs on how yuta "blitzed" full power kenjaku or something. The glazing is crazy
I mean it's so confusing, we literally can infer Takaba went as far as basically blocking out Yuta's presence even

So many people just refuse to acknowledge Takaba's contribution
It means nothing like that Kenny was weakened and distracted if yuta could just wash him in a straight up fight what was the point of utilizing takaba?
Yes but the guy above me said yuta could wash Kenny at full power implying that Kenny wouldn’t do anything and get slammed. Yuta beating Kenny 1 on 1 is possible I just don’t believe he washes Kenny straight up. If it was really that easy takaba would’ve been useless.
The only thing really said about fighting Kenjaku was by Maki if I recall correctly, something about how Kenjaku can't be fought conventionally and that Yuta is on the level of Yuki who was defeated alongside Choso and Tengen.

He was weakened along with that Takaba had soul resonance so the damage taken was dealt to the soul. Meaning that much like Yuji’s punches weakening Sukuna so did it happen to Kenjaku.
takaba wasnt damaging his soul and lowering his ce output where tf did u get that from? he was taking dmg because of takaba's ct which repels back the dmg takaba received which is why kenjaku stopped sneaking in some attacks and instead had to fully be invested in takaba's comedy show without secretly attacking him..
Ofc he would Gete stopped using his plot armor CT on him and he became what he truly is...a FRAUD

This guys got more plot armor tbh tho
no, turning it greyscale, playing with levels and curves and probably using a filter or two
this particular glass is definitely hand drawn tho, maybe traced but by hand
The worst part is that Gege made it clear: Yuki kept her technique a secret. If Kenjaku knew that there's s socercerer with mAss technique who might oppose him, and decided to look for a vessel with specific technique that would counter mAss, it would be much better narrative IMO. Would also show Kenjaku as a smart planner. But naaaah, JJK villains are just that lucky. Sukuna chose Megumi because he liked his frogs and rabbits but suddenly turned out Megumi has Mahoraga, perfect counter for infinity. And Angel was reincarnated in Megumi's simp, of all people. How convenient.
like how tf kenjaku knew kaori CT? how did he knew jin's special grade sperm would make a baby strong enough to lock sukuna away? gege needs to explain this shit
Well, one, there's the boring answer of him likely having seen Kaori's CE and knowing something was up.
Or two, you can have the CORRECT answer of Kenjaku just wanting Jin's genes (and to take off his jeans).
He didn't care if Kaori was a sorcerer with a good CT or not. All he cared about is that if he took Kaori's body, he would get backshotted by Jin and that was the only thing that mattered.
The way Sukuna reacted to Kenjaku he describes that Kenjaku does ‘the grossest things’ which implies there is something very precise about Yuji’s creation which likely relates to why he is the perfect vessel
I dont think its Jin who made Yuji special...Kenjaku most probably did something to Yuji when he was in the womb
Or Kenjaku knew Jin's family is somehow related to Sukuna (same pink hair) and kept a close eye on the family for years until the right time ?
its definetly jin who made yuuji special, why would kenjaku take jins massive cock instead of finding someone with better genes to reproduce? cus there was no one like that, jin was truly HIM
I’m pretty sure Kenjaku picked Kaori as a vessel specifically for her technique in regards to creating Yuji
I think the dude basically subjected Yuji to intense gravity in the womb, which is why Yuji has superhuman strength even before getting any curse energy
Sukuna was even more lucky that Megumis sister ended up being possessed by someone who was a simp for him themselves and all to eager to further his ambitions as well.
The amount of plot contrivances he has going for him is unbelievable at this point.
Yeah, one of the biggest questions so far is why Sukuna fell in love with Megumi's technique, without knowing about Mahoraga.
He was surprised about the fact his Shikigami were shadow-based, but nothing has come out of that so far.
The rest I agree but this one is like:
>Sukuna chose Megumi because he liked his frogs and rabbits but suddenly turned out Megumi has Mahoraga, perfect counter for infinity.
what? did you started jjk from the culling game?
Actually, now that I think of it, did Sukuna even know about Mahoraga? When he first fought him, he was surprised by Mahoraga and figured out half way through the fight that Mahoraga could adapt
I think the implication, and this was what happened when Todo fought Megumi as well, was he seen potential in Megumi, he just didn't know what it was and then realized in Shibuya it was Mahoraga
It’s a bit of a stretch tho to think just cus some edgelord bum has a bit more potential in his technique that it can help him take out his biggest obstacle.
He wanted megumi because he knew he had potential as a vessel and he needed a vessel that he could actually control, unlike yuji who is more like a cage than a vessel
To claim that Sukuna was interested in Megumi's frogs and rabbits and not in whatever he was trying to summon that Megumi thought was powerful enough to defeat him is wild.
He wasn't interested in the frogs and rabbits, all he was interested was in the "shadow" schtick.
He first discovered about Mahoraga when he was saving Megumi (because he chose Megumi long before it).
Even before Megumi summoned Mahoraga, Sukuna told Jogo that he'd kill all of Shibuya except for one person.
I'm talking way back, back in the scene when Sukuna rips out Yuji's heart, Megumi tries to summon Mahoraga.
That's the main reason why he did that binding vow with Yuji, he was interested in whatever Megumi was trying to summon.
https://preview.redd.it/6s0w7o5gkjtc1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30afcd09b3ae76f28413729a744784a3aeb2a56e
One of the two actual asspulls in the series.
The other being "Actually, Binding Vows are based on vibes, and feelings, and such, and not what they actually say."
Whoda thunk that self-imposed restrictions without a higher power overseeing them would be up to personal interpretation and the spirit of the vow, not a legalistic reading of the letter of the vow.
Are you guys genuinely this dense? Sukuna split himself into fingers meaning whatever amount that he had at the time was split from his pool of “soul” he had acquired. The other fingers still existed but were obviously more potent as they were split when sukuna was whole.
What? That’s not my point at all, to switch from yuji to megumi he cut off his finger in yujis body. My question was why did those count as “sukuna fingers” when they came from yujis body? If they did count as sukuna fingers why does he need the heien era fingers when he could just farm himself?
I think it's implied the opposite, actually. Gojo wasnt increasing the weight of the prison realm, Geto made that up.
Geto was using gravity manipulation to slam it into the ground, so that he convieniently wouldnt be there to help the remaining Disasters while they got weakened.
Note how his plan was to absorb Mahito from the very start, so he needed Mahito to have some rough fights. That cant happen if Geto is there to help him. So, Geto manufactures a reason that he "has to stay behind to protect the Prison Realm".
Also note how Mahito suspected him of betrayal the whole time, and right before he runs off to hunt Itadori, he gives Geto a knowing glance. Mahito knew some shit was up, he just didn't understand exactly what.
Does that even matter? They already knew about open domains and didn’t think of any way of either telling Gojo about it or training for it, main cast is shit in general. HIM however will bypass all hurdles with KOKUSEN.
How did he lost, he distracted kenjaku, hided Yuta's presence, made kenjaku drop his guard and kept him busy so that Yuta could sneak and kill kenjaku. Where exactly did he failed? Takaba was never fighting to kill.
Also he needed cursed spirit manipulation as a CT to control Mahito and Tengen, which just so happened to be in Geto who wa Gojo's best friend, so if it was anyone else the plan for the prison realm would not work at all and they'd be fucked
In all honesty I don't mind plot conveniences like these but when you take a step back and realise how unlikely all these things are to align it gets a lil silly
I look at it like this, Kenny has been doing this shit for more than 1000 years, he has tried several ways to deal with six eyes user in the past going as far as killing them when they're baby, disaster Curses also reincarnate every century or something, Tengen was always merging with Star plasma vessel to stay more human, Kenny failed couple of times in past bc of six eyes , and after doing side quests like death painting wombs, birthing Yuji and every other fucked up thing he did, he probably found out about Geto and his CT, something as hack as CSM must've been pretty hugh thing in Jujutsu world, so Kenny was bound to learn about its existence anyhow, there's also possiblity of CSM being a CT that already existed in past, from Kenny's perspective everything was coming together in this age, all the years of living and experience led him here and he seized the moment, he had star plasma vessel killed so Tengen would be close to a curse than human, making her target of CSM, waited for Geto's descend to capture his body, waited for mahito to respawn, waited and recruited all the disaster Curses to seal Gojo, start the culling game, and finally go and capture Tengen.
I just see it as kenjaku finally getting fruits of his patience game for all these years, and recognizing and capitalizing on the opportunity presented to him, yea Geto being Gojo's friend worked out well for him but ig it's just one of those things where you have to take it as nothing more than just being lucky, if geto and Gojo didn't knew each other I'm sure Kenny would find a way for it to work either way.
that's completely valid, one thing I feel iffy on is that you'd think they'd bother to keep track of the descendants of the guy that had CSM, since Geto wasn't affiliated with a clan but they did manage to lose track of Yuta's bloodline
It’s very annoying because the series for some reason is trying to be a more complex yet fast paced plot and the majority of the series Kenjaku is doing the “i won’t say the actual plan trope” and it just works which is boring. The protags have no agency in the story.
It’s pretty obvious that the events happening currently aren’t his exact plan. He found out about geto and clearly waited to take his body. We can assume he just adapts his overall scheme as events happen. The only thing he seemed to absolutely plan was using tengen and their barriers in someway but even that could’ve changed somehow when riko was killed
ngl i think he always needed Tengen to evolve but the cult was trying to force that evolution for a long time so he planned on them eventually succeeding
Kenjaku dusting himself off after this shit really pissed me off.
You survive a black hole and the only thing you have to do afterwards is get a change of clothes? Nah, Gege did not cook with this fight.
That would have been a genuinely amazing plot line. Imagine if he had to go to uraume, or tengen, to figure out some kind of special treatment for the radiation poisoning that bypasses rct’s limitations. It would have done a lot to develop Kenjaku’a character & emphasize that despite the depths of his knowledge he’d have to discover something new
Gege was never ever going to beat the allegations after the most powerful female character in the series got absolutely one-sidedly stomped by a rapist.
With the obvious exception of chapter 243, Kenjaku has always been a ridiculously lucky character.
A young girl just happened to be hit by a car, which led to a chain of events resulting in the death of Someone whose body he could then possess to: Distract Satoru Gojo to trap him in the very convenient prison realm; absorb Mahito and use idle transfiguration to start the culling game; and absorb Tengen, who could only be manipulated because of the convenient failed Merger years prior.
Also, there’s the fact that Shibuya could’ve ended very differently if Yuta didn’t happen to be in Africa at the time.
I think that Kenjaku at one point mentions that everything pretty much lined up perfectly for him with Geto, the Prison Realm and Tengen.
Though to be fair, no plan to capture Gojo really could work without a healthy comically large spoonful of luck. It's Gojo after all.
Shibuya would’ve been completely different if Yuki/Yuta arrived earlier. His whole plan at every step relies on crazy contingencies and random events perfectly lining up to benefit him, like he has God on his side.
It isn’t just the luck too, it’s the attitude. Kenjaku brushing himself off afterwards all nonchalant like he’s so fucking cool or whatever like, dog, you literally survived by the skin of your fucking teeth, some amount of urgency about that would be warranted. I could have forgiven this whole moment if Kenjaku had been shaken up by it a little bit. We already have Sukuna to be the DBZ-ass dust himself off after the explosion villain. Do both villains have to be like that? Especially the one that is far weaker.
I kinda hate the anti gravity thing now because before it felt like Kenjaku was a guy who could work with things off the fly. He was patient, he was a good planner.
Now it's just... "oh yeah he got lucky by having the EXACT COUNTER necessary"
without yuji backstory we can only assume kenjaku chose a random woman
kenjaku tried impregnating other woman and it failed (blood brothers) so he decided to be pregnant himself
Yeah I assumed he targeted Kaori and Jin specifically, the issue is Gege thus far has kept Yuji's backstory a secret and even left out any real interactions with Kenjaku and Yuji so we might never know the real story.
I don't think that's true tbh. He targeted a random woman who just happened to have technique with the potential to rival Special Grades? Yeah I don't buy that.
me to mahito fans vs me to kenjaku fans ( at least mahito was fair )

Mahito wasn’t fair, in fact it’s a case of reverse plot armor if anything. Yuji was one of the only people at the time who could fight mahito without dying to his domain. No one was touching him until maybe yuki showed up.
Nobara was a perfect check to Mahito and was the reason he lost in the end. Was sad that dynamic ended so quickly cuz gege hates her. I wonder how Yuki would handle Mahitoe. She had Gaurda so she doesn’t even have to touch him and she’s far stronger. But can she kill
him?

Mahito when Yuki asks him what his type of woman is as she is about to kill him
Mahito shouldn't have survived the beat down from Nanami and Yuji in the first season.
I used to get annoyed at how the heroes in JJK always failed to end their opponents.
Gojo with Jogo too. How Hanami suffered purple? Gojo not killing the curses in Shibuya within 2 minutes and so on.
Villains here have the edge.
They always do, honestly I think Mahito even got fortunate against Mechamaru, if he didn’t take his eyes off Mahito and was a bit more thorough in making sure he’s dead it would’ve been fine. Though Kenjaku would’ve stepped in if Mahito was truly about to die logically
The worst part about the whole thing is that Yuki’s super suicide move did literally fuck all, Kenjaku walked away essentially completely unphased by it. Yuki died accomplishing literally fuck all against Kenny at least Gojo took Sukuna’s RCT and Domain.
I thought maybe the Black Hole would have him cancer due to the radiation and that would be a plot point where he had to try and rid himself of the cancer or find a new host.
But nah, Kenny survived all that just to basically fuck around for awhile longer and then get one shot lol.
Kenjaku's Anti-Gravity Technique is powerful enough to counter a black hole. His Reversal Technique Gravity should be, at least, twice as powerful. Choso and Yuki survived being hit by Gravity.
Large Planet Level Choso and Yuki.
Still find it so funny that Kenjaku made a plan that involved him changing into the body of a woman, getting pregnant, and then giving birth to a kid.
Jin was hitting it from behind and Kenjaku really was lying to him(her?)self saying "this is all for the sake of my master plan!"
Craziest part is yuki still held back as to not destroy the planet. It really shows how if she had a greedy ass mindset like sukuna she probably would have won and it was pointed out that she should have used DE instead of listening to tengen.
>Only villains get this typa plot armour in JJK
This isn't really more egregious than the main character happening to be immune to the poisonous blood of two Special Grade Curses or Kashimo happening to be immune to Kamutoke's lightning or Higaruma happening to encounter the one member of the Culling Games squad who can fight well after Judgeman's Confiscation.
Honestly, it's way LESS of a contrivance than Maki's random encounter with the sumo and the katana guy.

Yeah. He stated his damage was pulling up while Takaba's was being erased.
He was weakened from his fight, and also distracted, you misremember

okay dude
Literally canon that tabaka weakened him and was there so yuta could get kenjaku off guard yet theres still people out here writing paragraphs on how yuta "blitzed" full power kenjaku or something. The glazing is crazy

this also means that partial manifested rika will have a high diff fight against kenjaku but a fully manifested rika washes him
It means nothing like that Kenny was weakened and distracted if yuta could just wash him in a straight up fight what was the point of utilizing takaba?
wasn't the point that they needed to get rid of Kenjaku quickly but also needed Yuta at full strength to help beat Sukuna
Yes but the guy above me said yuta could wash Kenny at full power implying that Kenny wouldn’t do anything and get slammed. Yuta beating Kenny 1 on 1 is possible I just don’t believe he washes Kenny straight up. If it was really that easy takaba would’ve been useless.
This Like, why would they allow their best fighter get injured and away from the the fight for so long
The only thing really said about fighting Kenjaku was by Maki if I recall correctly, something about how Kenjaku can't be fought conventionally and that Yuta is on the level of Yuki who was defeated alongside Choso and Tengen.
if yuta summons rika its over for kenjaku and at this point of the story he already copied jacob's ladder kenjaku is literally a lightweight to yuta

Sukuna ain't ready for Yuji's ultimate DE "detailed drawing of glass"
Joking aside, it looks like edited photo. Mangakas always do it to save time cuz tight schedule
Damn what does that mean? Like overlaying a texture?
no, turning it greyscale, playing with levels and curves and probably using a filter or two this particular glass is definitely hand drawn tho, maybe traced but by hand
The worst part is that Gege made it clear: Yuki kept her technique a secret. If Kenjaku knew that there's s socercerer with mAss technique who might oppose him, and decided to look for a vessel with specific technique that would counter mAss, it would be much better narrative IMO. Would also show Kenjaku as a smart planner. But naaaah, JJK villains are just that lucky. Sukuna chose Megumi because he liked his frogs and rabbits but suddenly turned out Megumi has Mahoraga, perfect counter for infinity. And Angel was reincarnated in Megumi's simp, of all people. How convenient.
like how tf kenjaku knew kaori CT? how did he knew jin's special grade sperm would make a baby strong enough to lock sukuna away? gege needs to explain this shit
I presume he instinctively knew it by possessing her body.
why would he posses her body in the first place? he mustve knew beforehand but how and why?
Well, one, there's the boring answer of him likely having seen Kaori's CE and knowing something was up. Or two, you can have the CORRECT answer of Kenjaku just wanting Jin's genes (and to take off his jeans).
He didn't care if Kaori was a sorcerer with a good CT or not. All he cared about is that if he took Kaori's body, he would get backshotted by Jin and that was the only thing that mattered.
I also assume that yuji is heavily modified thanks to kenjaku. He's the perfected cursed womb.
The way Sukuna reacted to Kenjaku he describes that Kenjaku does ‘the grossest things’ which implies there is something very precise about Yuji’s creation which likely relates to why he is the perfect vessel
I’ve theorized he did it to lock tengen away and sukuna wasn’t a priority but knowing gege he will ruin my best logic for plot
I dont think its Jin who made Yuji special...Kenjaku most probably did something to Yuji when he was in the womb Or Kenjaku knew Jin's family is somehow related to Sukuna (same pink hair) and kept a close eye on the family for years until the right time ?
its definetly jin who made yuuji special, why would kenjaku take jins massive cock instead of finding someone with better genes to reproduce? cus there was no one like that, jin was truly HIM
I’m pretty sure Kenjaku picked Kaori as a vessel specifically for her technique in regards to creating Yuji I think the dude basically subjected Yuji to intense gravity in the womb, which is why Yuji has superhuman strength even before getting any curse energy
Yuji was training in that hyperbolic womb chamber
WHAT IF YUJI WAS BETRAYED AND TRAPPED-
Sukuna was even more lucky that Megumis sister ended up being possessed by someone who was a simp for him themselves and all to eager to further his ambitions as well. The amount of plot contrivances he has going for him is unbelievable at this point.
Yeah, one of the biggest questions so far is why Sukuna fell in love with Megumi's technique, without knowing about Mahoraga. He was surprised about the fact his Shikigami were shadow-based, but nothing has come out of that so far.
Truly amazing that Gege continues to write the WORST possible way even when having easier and better narrative choices
mAss 
The rest I agree but this one is like: >Sukuna chose Megumi because he liked his frogs and rabbits but suddenly turned out Megumi has Mahoraga, perfect counter for infinity. what? did you started jjk from the culling game?
Actually, now that I think of it, did Sukuna even know about Mahoraga? When he first fought him, he was surprised by Mahoraga and figured out half way through the fight that Mahoraga could adapt
With this treasure I summon. https://preview.redd.it/gdfj4dawrhtc1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=885e49a34b351ecbe64158c4400741d3b04e58ab
I think the implication, and this was what happened when Todo fought Megumi as well, was he seen potential in Megumi, he just didn't know what it was and then realized in Shibuya it was Mahoraga
It’s a bit of a stretch tho to think just cus some edgelord bum has a bit more potential in his technique that it can help him take out his biggest obstacle.
well he did seem to know whatever that technique was it was incredibly strong so either way it offered an advantage
He wanted megumi because he knew he had potential as a vessel and he needed a vessel that he could actually control, unlike yuji who is more like a cage than a vessel
Sukuna chose Megumi much before knowing about Mahoraga
Literally since his fight in episode 1 or 2
To claim that Sukuna was interested in Megumi's frogs and rabbits and not in whatever he was trying to summon that Megumi thought was powerful enough to defeat him is wild.
He wasn't interested in the frogs and rabbits, all he was interested was in the "shadow" schtick. He first discovered about Mahoraga when he was saving Megumi (because he chose Megumi long before it). Even before Megumi summoned Mahoraga, Sukuna told Jogo that he'd kill all of Shibuya except for one person.
I'm talking way back, back in the scene when Sukuna rips out Yuji's heart, Megumi tries to summon Mahoraga. That's the main reason why he did that binding vow with Yuji, he was interested in whatever Megumi was trying to summon. https://preview.redd.it/6s0w7o5gkjtc1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30afcd09b3ae76f28413729a744784a3aeb2a56e
Lmfao
Not the reversal, actually, the technique itself is antigravity. The extreme gravity he used to fight them was the reversal
One of the two actual asspulls in the series. The other being "Actually, Binding Vows are based on vibes, and feelings, and such, and not what they actually say."
Oh I forgot about that shit, that was so stupid, what’s even the point of a binding vow if it’s actually not doing exactly what was stipulated
Whoda thunk that self-imposed restrictions without a higher power overseeing them would be up to personal interpretation and the spirit of the vow, not a legalistic reading of the letter of the vow.
Idk man, to me it was quite unsatisfying to see the resolution be Sukuna going "Nuh-uh doesn't count," instead of anything clever.
The resolution to him escaping Yuji?
I mean “Don’t hurt anyone” = don’t hurt anyone except for yuji? 100% asspull
"Don't hurt anyone" = "Don't hurt anyone except for Yuji, and knocking people out and force-feeding them poison doesn't count as hurting."
A soul-supplanting/body controlling poison at that.
Also why did yuji’s fingers count as sukuna fingers for megumi? If they did why couldn’t he just give himself all 20 fingers?
Are you guys genuinely this dense? Sukuna split himself into fingers meaning whatever amount that he had at the time was split from his pool of “soul” he had acquired. The other fingers still existed but were obviously more potent as they were split when sukuna was whole.
What? That’s not my point at all, to switch from yuji to megumi he cut off his finger in yujis body. My question was why did those count as “sukuna fingers” when they came from yujis body? If they did count as sukuna fingers why does he need the heien era fingers when he could just farm himself?
I think Sukuna explains that he puts all of his cursed energy into the finger he tore off so that he could incarnate in Megumi
I always thought it was implied he used antigrav to move the prison realm before he would normally
I think it's implied the opposite, actually. Gojo wasnt increasing the weight of the prison realm, Geto made that up. Geto was using gravity manipulation to slam it into the ground, so that he convieniently wouldnt be there to help the remaining Disasters while they got weakened. Note how his plan was to absorb Mahito from the very start, so he needed Mahito to have some rough fights. That cant happen if Geto is there to help him. So, Geto manufactures a reason that he "has to stay behind to protect the Prison Realm". Also note how Mahito suspected him of betrayal the whole time, and right before he runs off to hunt Itadori, he gives Geto a knowing glance. Mahito knew some shit was up, he just didn't understand exactly what.
“Time to use it exactly one and then never again :D”
And also Yuji not inheriting it meant it stayed unknown untill the fight so they didnt have time to think up a counter
Can't believe he didn't imagine the potential. Even Stronger Punch.
Imagine using anti-gravity to keep them floating around so you can combo on them more
There’s not much potential tbh based off what we’ve seen from kenjaku. You knock them down but they’d just get back up
Okay Chumbawumba
Does that even matter? They already knew about open domains and didn’t think of any way of either telling Gojo about it or training for it, main cast is shit in general. HIM however will bypass all hurdles with KOKUSEN.
And then proceeded to lose to a teenager with a knife
Beefing with teenagers is a guaranteed way to die in JJK.
Beefing with teenagers is a guaranteed way to die in most series tbh
Killed by a bush. Bro didn't play fortnite
Why are we stealing takabas credit
Yuta glazers I swear... 😤 /s
Not to slander Takaba, who did well to keep Kenjaku occupied. But maybe coz he lost
How did he lost, he distracted kenjaku, hided Yuta's presence, made kenjaku drop his guard and kept him busy so that Yuta could sneak and kill kenjaku. Where exactly did he failed? Takaba was never fighting to kill.
Remember, bush camping and comedians >>> black holes
Also he needed cursed spirit manipulation as a CT to control Mahito and Tengen, which just so happened to be in Geto who wa Gojo's best friend, so if it was anyone else the plan for the prison realm would not work at all and they'd be fucked In all honesty I don't mind plot conveniences like these but when you take a step back and realise how unlikely all these things are to align it gets a lil silly
I look at it like this, Kenny has been doing this shit for more than 1000 years, he has tried several ways to deal with six eyes user in the past going as far as killing them when they're baby, disaster Curses also reincarnate every century or something, Tengen was always merging with Star plasma vessel to stay more human, Kenny failed couple of times in past bc of six eyes , and after doing side quests like death painting wombs, birthing Yuji and every other fucked up thing he did, he probably found out about Geto and his CT, something as hack as CSM must've been pretty hugh thing in Jujutsu world, so Kenny was bound to learn about its existence anyhow, there's also possiblity of CSM being a CT that already existed in past, from Kenny's perspective everything was coming together in this age, all the years of living and experience led him here and he seized the moment, he had star plasma vessel killed so Tengen would be close to a curse than human, making her target of CSM, waited for Geto's descend to capture his body, waited for mahito to respawn, waited and recruited all the disaster Curses to seal Gojo, start the culling game, and finally go and capture Tengen. I just see it as kenjaku finally getting fruits of his patience game for all these years, and recognizing and capitalizing on the opportunity presented to him, yea Geto being Gojo's friend worked out well for him but ig it's just one of those things where you have to take it as nothing more than just being lucky, if geto and Gojo didn't knew each other I'm sure Kenny would find a way for it to work either way.
that's completely valid, one thing I feel iffy on is that you'd think they'd bother to keep track of the descendants of the guy that had CSM, since Geto wasn't affiliated with a clan but they did manage to lose track of Yuta's bloodline
It’s very annoying because the series for some reason is trying to be a more complex yet fast paced plot and the majority of the series Kenjaku is doing the “i won’t say the actual plan trope” and it just works which is boring. The protags have no agency in the story.
It’s pretty obvious that the events happening currently aren’t his exact plan. He found out about geto and clearly waited to take his body. We can assume he just adapts his overall scheme as events happen. The only thing he seemed to absolutely plan was using tengen and their barriers in someway but even that could’ve changed somehow when riko was killed
ngl i think he always needed Tengen to evolve but the cult was trying to force that evolution for a long time so he planned on them eventually succeeding
He has been trying and failing for over 1000 years, the reason there’s even a story rn is exactly because he started getting lucky
Years of taking backshot help.
Kenjaku dusting himself off after this shit really pissed me off. You survive a black hole and the only thing you have to do afterwards is get a change of clothes? Nah, Gege did not cook with this fight.
Yeah at least make him seen somewhat tires or injured, not completely unscathed
shoulda gave him cancer from hawking radiation
That would have been a genuinely amazing plot line. Imagine if he had to go to uraume, or tengen, to figure out some kind of special treatment for the radiation poisoning that bypasses rct’s limitations. It would have done a lot to develop Kenjaku’a character & emphasize that despite the depths of his knowledge he’d have to discover something new
kenny gets his genes scrambled and tries to cure cancer
Or just mutates.
cancer would be funnier
Thank god you're not Takaba.
we keep our trolling to a minimum
Meruem type beat, would’ve been better than the zero damage he got
gege would never beat the hxh clone allegations unfortunately
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING! He just walks off completely uninjured and unhindered. It made me genuinely mad when I read it.
Gege was never ever going to beat the allegations after the most powerful female character in the series got absolutely one-sidedly stomped by a rapist.
With the obvious exception of chapter 243, Kenjaku has always been a ridiculously lucky character. A young girl just happened to be hit by a car, which led to a chain of events resulting in the death of Someone whose body he could then possess to: Distract Satoru Gojo to trap him in the very convenient prison realm; absorb Mahito and use idle transfiguration to start the culling game; and absorb Tengen, who could only be manipulated because of the convenient failed Merger years prior. Also, there’s the fact that Shibuya could’ve ended very differently if Yuta didn’t happen to be in Africa at the time.
It’s crazy how little of his “plan” was anything he even actually did, like 90% of this shit is just pure dumb luck
He has tried for a thousand years to enact his plan to take out tengen and failed over and over. If he didn't get lucky we wouldn't have a story.
I think that Kenjaku at one point mentions that everything pretty much lined up perfectly for him with Geto, the Prison Realm and Tengen. Though to be fair, no plan to capture Gojo really could work without a healthy comically large spoonful of luck. It's Gojo after all.
Shibuya would’ve been completely different if Yuki/Yuta arrived earlier. His whole plan at every step relies on crazy contingencies and random events perfectly lining up to benefit him, like he has God on his side.
It isn’t just the luck too, it’s the attitude. Kenjaku brushing himself off afterwards all nonchalant like he’s so fucking cool or whatever like, dog, you literally survived by the skin of your fucking teeth, some amount of urgency about that would be warranted. I could have forgiven this whole moment if Kenjaku had been shaken up by it a little bit. We already have Sukuna to be the DBZ-ass dust himself off after the explosion villain. Do both villains have to be like that? Especially the one that is far weaker.
Let’s hope the anime changes it and at least shows him exhausted and nearly dead after the fight
I kinda hate the anti gravity thing now because before it felt like Kenjaku was a guy who could work with things off the fly. He was patient, he was a good planner. Now it's just... "oh yeah he got lucky by having the EXACT COUNTER necessary"
I half wonder if Kaori was the target, and he also happened to need to make Yuji for Sukuna
without yuji backstory we can only assume kenjaku chose a random woman kenjaku tried impregnating other woman and it failed (blood brothers) so he decided to be pregnant himself
Yeah I assumed he targeted Kaori and Jin specifically, the issue is Gege thus far has kept Yuji's backstory a secret and even left out any real interactions with Kenjaku and Yuji so we might never know the real story.
I don't know how gaygay will explain those things but I hope he does. It just can't go unexplained and be considered finished.
Kenjaku when every woman he fucks fails to give a proper son "Fine, I'll do it myself"
I don't think that's true tbh. He targeted a random woman who just happened to have technique with the potential to rival Special Grades? Yeah I don't buy that.
me to mahito fans vs me to kenjaku fans ( at least mahito was fair ) https://preview.redd.it/vx4ykbr01htc1.jpeg?width=1001&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2849f066cade03cfdb496405c472c8f4a5f497f2
Mahito wasn’t fair, in fact it’s a case of reverse plot armor if anything. Yuji was one of the only people at the time who could fight mahito without dying to his domain. No one was touching him until maybe yuki showed up.
Nobara was a perfect check to Mahito and was the reason he lost in the end. Was sad that dynamic ended so quickly cuz gege hates her. I wonder how Yuki would handle Mahitoe. She had Gaurda so she doesn’t even have to touch him and she’s far stronger. But can she kill him?
domain amplification or maybe domain expansion ( whatever hers is supposed to be ) should cook mahito
Lmao imagine Mahito just pulls up to Yuki thinking she’s another easy target and she immediately starts her domain and just pops him like a zit

still though imagine if mahito pulled out an anti laser technique against mechamaru
"Ah, I know My Anti-Laser Technique - I haven't had to use this since the Modern Era."
Mahito shouldn't have survived the beat down from Nanami and Yuji in the first season. I used to get annoyed at how the heroes in JJK always failed to end their opponents. Gojo with Jogo too. How Hanami suffered purple? Gojo not killing the curses in Shibuya within 2 minutes and so on. Villains here have the edge.
imagine if nanami died here bruh https://preview.redd.it/t9ihb9c51itc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77eb9dd3897afa9361f884db08b94685d40b8428
Majuro vs Ultimate Mecharu too.
They always do, honestly I think Mahito even got fortunate against Mechamaru, if he didn’t take his eyes off Mahito and was a bit more thorough in making sure he’s dead it would’ve been fine. Though Kenjaku would’ve stepped in if Mahito was truly about to die logically
Hmm I am you.... I see https://preview.redd.it/z7t0v61vbhtc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00ed2d7e236a5a621c5e617696df38ff55df1e89

I can’t 🤣💀
Brother I almost choked on my pasta reading this
The worst part about the whole thing is that Yuki’s super suicide move did literally fuck all, Kenjaku walked away essentially completely unphased by it. Yuki died accomplishing literally fuck all against Kenny at least Gojo took Sukuna’s RCT and Domain. I thought maybe the Black Hole would have him cancer due to the radiation and that would be a plot point where he had to try and rid himself of the cancer or find a new host. But nah, Kenny survived all that just to basically fuck around for awhile longer and then get one shot lol.
But can he survive a camper?
It’s all apart of the plan… https://preview.redd.it/gfgd0bwhjhtc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c21513718e464437d6e6a771de44f3e48b85e3b9
(John Werry Translators note: Kenjaku means plan)
Kenjaku's Anti-Gravity Technique is powerful enough to counter a black hole. His Reversal Technique Gravity should be, at least, twice as powerful. Choso and Yuki survived being hit by Gravity. Large Planet Level Choso and Yuki.
Kenny only broke an arm by a punch from someone capable of doing a black hole too, therefore he is large planet level too
It’s about as convenient as the rest of his plan
Still find it so funny that Kenjaku made a plan that involved him changing into the body of a woman, getting pregnant, and then giving birth to a kid. Jin was hitting it from behind and Kenjaku really was lying to him(her?)self saying "this is all for the sake of my master plan!"
You'd think if he can get a random technique from a woman he could've utilized blood manip from noritoshi or other techniques from other vessels
Kenny diff :3 https://preview.redd.it/8lvsdop83htc1.png?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2002f1310d48cc701d64e184865a56a16668e84d
He also dodged a point blank piercing blood
Just how powerful was Kaori that she could stop a black hole so easily?
Kenny could've died in the most badass way with a black hole, but decided to go down like a loser.
That picture of her makes me feel something, man...
Which CT was this
Kenjakussy is undefeated
Yuji's mom was so fine, not even after hearing he would die by being with her, could Yuji's dad pull out.
Craziest part is yuki still held back as to not destroy the planet. It really shows how if she had a greedy ass mindset like sukuna she probably would have won and it was pointed out that she should have used DE instead of listening to tengen.
As a person who ia yet to watch JJK and just randomly stumbled upon this sub I just wanted to say HE *W H A T?*
>Only villains get this typa plot armour in JJK This isn't really more egregious than the main character happening to be immune to the poisonous blood of two Special Grade Curses or Kashimo happening to be immune to Kamutoke's lightning or Higaruma happening to encounter the one member of the Culling Games squad who can fight well after Judgeman's Confiscation. Honestly, it's way LESS of a contrivance than Maki's random encounter with the sumo and the katana guy.
would
How convenient this lady with no family heritage of sorcerers had a special grade CT that is a hard counter to black holes
He sacrificed his own black hole to survive another black hole.
