Everything you wanted to know about kenjaku and, by extension, the body he is currently inhabiting, Suguru Geto, is right here. With one of the anime series diving headfirst into one of the most shocking parts of the manga, we’re here to answer your questions and fill you in on everything you need to know about Kenjaku, an ancient sorcerer who is determined to collect every finger of the special grade curse Ryomen Sukuna. The series is created, written, and illustrated by mangaka Gege Akutami and is currently one of the top shonen available.

Does anyone know who kenjaku is from Jujutsu Kaisen?

Kenjaku, a sorcerer whose name you might not be familiar with right now, becomes and remains the series’ principal nemesis in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga up until the most recent chapters. Not only has Kenjaku outlived Tengen by thousands of years, but he is also an ancient curse-user, just like Master Tengen. In Jujutsu Kaisen’s Hidden Inventory Arc, we learn that body transfer is a skill that Jujutsu Sorcerers can use, but it becomes increasingly important as they age if they want to maintain a human appearance or, like Kenjaku, continue to level up.

Since the establishment of the Cursed Womb and even Yuji Itadori’s birth, Kenjaku has implanted his brain into his body in order to continue alive, accumulate power, and guarantee that his long-term plans are set in motion. Regardless of the personas he adopts, Kenjaku can be pompous and pretty much whomever he wants to be. He may have his own legion of followers, but they don’t mean much to him.

Kenjaku lacks empathy, loyalty, or concern for anybody or anything that doesn’t contribute to his objectives or aims, whereas Akutami has established that the powerful see everyone around them as ant food, even Satoru Gojo. The foundation of Kenjaku’s ideas is the deconstruction of Japan’s modern framework, which prioritizes passivity and the preservation of the status quo. He is a troublemaker who wants to draw attention to the fact that our entire civilization is precariously balanced on the brink of collapse. His ideals are as difficult to pin down as his next move because he is both chaotic and narcissistic. To him, everyone else is a failure and has no right to exist because he is perfect in every way.

The Kenjaku’s Role in Jujutsu Ryu’s History

In order to stay alive through the ages, Kenjaku has skillfully preserved the remains of several victims. But he has changed history by inhabiting the bodies of numerous important people and performing horrible deeds on them. In addition, the identities of the victims are sparsely documented in historical accounts.

The binding vows cause Kenjaku to leave a scar on the forehead that looks like stitches whenever he takes over a person’s body through brain implanting. For us, it also means they’re easier to spot. Now that we’ve shown that Kenjaku’s brain implant technique had an impact on at least one person, let’s begin with that person and go down the list.

Where does he get his cursed powers and abilities?

As one would expect from a curse-user who is more than a thousand years old, kenjaku, the second most powerful barrier user, possesses an incredible amount of strength. Almost every version of himself has displayed his might. Kenjaku, under the guise of Noritoshi Kamo, was the most notoriously wicked user of curses during the Meiji Era; he was responsible for the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings. He transformed a sorcerer into an enchanted artifact during the Heian Period. Furthermore, Tengen’s barrier is his sole power, making him second fiddle in this regard. This is unfair.

Particularly with Mahito and Choso, Kenjaku has shown to be a great manipulator who can control both people and power, molding them to his will and appropriating their abilities. No one should be surprised that Kenjaku possesses vast quantities of cursed energy and is unafraid of the powerful curses he carries with him. This makes him an expert manipulator of cursed energy.

He can transfer his consciousness from one body to another, which is his principal and most important innate ability; the only visible sign of this is the band of sutures across his forehead. By absorbing a body’s inherent cursed techniques, he can repeatedly stack his own power on top of it.

What happened before Shibuya?

Just 400 years before the events of Shibuya, we have an image of the oldest body that Akutami has created for Kenjaku. However, we do not know his name; all we know is that he used him to make unbreakable vows with sorcerers of the past. Then there’s Noritoshi Kamo, who created Death Paintings by binding human flesh to curses. Kaori Itadori, the mother of that Itadori, is the next body that has been found. Akutami has been mum on the matter, but it is known that he gave birth to Yuji while inhabiting Jin Itadori’s body. Not only did he give birth to Yuji, but he also mastered Kaori’s Antigravity System Curse Technique, which grants him the ability to either augment his own gravitational pull or neutralize the gravity surrounding him.

So, we arrive in Suguru Geto. Using his Maximum, Uzumaki, which expelled all of the curses held in his body in a one attack, Kenjaku may now employ the same curse-eating Curse Technique that Geto had. At last, resembling Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine, Kenjaku’s Domain Expansion takes the shape of a massive pillar. Once he eats Mahito, he will be able to use idle transfiguration, manipulate cursed spirits, and take over vessels. Kenjaku will feel overwhelmed. And it keeps going.

More about Kenjaku’s powers and abilities

When it comes to the Jujutsu Kaisen canon, Kenjaku is up there with the most formidable characters. He must have learned a great deal about cursed energy throughout his thousand years on our planet. He is one of the most original characters in the show thanks to his extensive knowledge and abilities. So, how exactly does his cursed technique provide him an advantage over others?

• His ability to transfer his consciousness to another body is an inherent talent of his. He gains full command of the body and can manipulate death once the transplant is effective. Stitched scar traces on the forehead of the sufferer are a telltale sign of this.

• Kenjaku gains access to the memories, cursed energy supply, and cursed powers of his victims the moment he takes control of their bodies.

• He is able to retain all of his former hosts’ techniques even after transferring bodies. However, rumor has claimed that his brain has a finite capacity for innate techniques and information. Nevertheless, its precise upper bound remains a mystery.

You can see that Kenjaku is well-versed in the field of Jujutsu and can learn and use a wide variety of formidable techniques. He is thus an extremely dangerous foe to face in combat. It is worth mentioning that he has managed to defeat Choso, Yuki, and Tengen all in one go. This doesn’t mean he thinks of him as highly as Gojo or Sukuna, either. Still, he’s got to be one of the strongest!

What Does Kenjaku Really Want to Achieve in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Even though Kenjaku’s character as Suguru Geto gives the impression that he is harmless at times, that is only a part of his character. Like he did with Mahito in Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Kenjaku is solely concerned with achieving his own personal ambitions, no matter the cost to his friends and allies. What he desires is more complex than just dominating the world or being the most powerful sorcerer. Even if he is, Kenjaku’s true heart longs for human progress. Essentially, his objective is an improved take on Geto’s initial plot to eliminate all those who do not possess magical abilities. From the perspective of the anime, Kenjaku’s idea of evolution is still in its early stages, but he has been carefully plotting out the necessary steps for quite some time. Finding the lifeless body of Suguru Geto, Gojo’s one true love, couldn’t have been a mere coincidence.

How Significant Was Kenjaku’s Role in Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen?

The Shibuya Incident Arc revolved around kenjaku, who took up residence in Suguru Geto’s body and used his manipulation skills to trap Gojo in the prison realm. Even though Kenjaku played the role of pseudo-Geto in the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, he was far less frightening than his henchmen who battled alongside the pupils of Jujtusu High. Kenjaku, who had been more of a supporting character in Season 1, now carries the burden of Geto’s transgressions from Cour. Since the Shibuya Incident began in Episode 8, this immediately makes him seem frightening. However, as the plot progresses, Geto’s influence will wane and Kenjaku’s power will completely flip the script. As some individuals perish, others vanish, and yet others confront aspects of their own selves that threaten to end their lives.
