Not necessarily, Hunter X Hunter of which is JJK inspired by is a Shonen too with well-written characters and plot progression It's just a shame that the Shonen genre popularizes minimalistic character depth for the sake of punches flying and absurd power scaling spectacle It's like how Avatar, Samurai jack, gravity fall, and adventure time are weighed against most western cartoons

If kenjaku is really gone for good that would be seriously disappointing, one of my favorite characters weirdly because geto is also one of my favorites so maybe whoever has his body is blessed by good writing or something.

[@Sinjuuuu]

But see is it dissapointing bc it’s your fav character? Or is it bc you think his writing was bad. I mean just re read the takaba fight that was the perfect ending to his character from an objective stance. It’s bitter but that’s how it goes when your ego becomes too big

[@SemekiIzuio]

Well tbf Kenjaku sometimes would slip into Getos role and personality. He would chuckle to himself when he caught himself talking like Geto

[@MrAnimason]

@@Sinjuuuu Bro wtf no because he's such an important villain and he only met the main character ONCE. This isn't about ego at all.

[@peamut547]

A bit unrelated, but it’s pretty disappointing we didnt get a Gojo/Geto final teamup in the real world, or any kind of final interaction. It was teased when Kenjaku’s body moved against his will, but never followed up well. This is why I don’t like to call JJK a masterpiece… too many plotholes.

[@MrAnimason]

@@peamut547 It was established early on that Geto was dead dead. My disappointment lies with Yuji and the fact that Kenjaku really didn't kill anyone that important. He always felt way too distant. But, hey, I don't think he's dead, so we might still get that.

[@tjpprojects7192]

I think that that there's a very real chance that both Kenjaku and Yuki will actually win. The merger might end up merging only the cursed energy of the world, and Yuji somehow consumes it. This would result in BOTH a world without cursed energy, and a single optimized being that stands above everything.

[@SemekiIzuio]

I think its interesting there are times when Kenjaku sometimes slips into Getos character and personality before he catches himself and chuckles, its interesting how Geto and Kenjaku are linked in a way to bring ruin to "monkeys" and rein sorcerers supreme

[@vaycodm2341]

Man such a fire vid,a lot to think on,it made me remember a few sukuna statements about “what true jujutsu is” it really makes you wonder what is this revelation that he has over the whole cast about jujutsu…I feel like your black box theory plays into this aswell 🔥🔥❤️

[@nothappyboi9453]

I’m cool off he does and I’m cool if he doesn’t come back. Aside from him having Yuji the only other plot point he has related to our cast is also being Chosos father. Narratively Sukuna is the main casts foil while Kenjaku is everyone’s foil. His plans aren’t designed around specific people like Sukunas are. He just wanted to do something crazy and he managed it and passed it on. I think Kenjaku is a cursed object now unless that’s what Sukuna ate at the end of 246

[@Mono_303]

Yeah same, I’m coo if he’s fr dead but hope we do get flashbacks of him to explain some stuff or know more about him

Kenjaku has been my favorite character ( and getos curse my favorite ability ) so as sad as my stocks are to see him go DEATH IS FINALITY and I love a good story with some good consequence / character ending! For the talk master himself to be swiftly executed ( by the body he claimed wasn’t all that impressive nonetheless ) while not what I wanted was definitely impressive

[@erenyeager007]

There's no way a character like kenjaku dies one of the most pathetic ways possible He has to come back somehow

[@saawysorenson4585]

He didnt die in a pathetic way at, him going out not overpowered, but outsmarted, is fitting because he never thought anyone could ever match him in intellect, and whats more, never thought Yuta was much of a thread. We already saw everything he could do in his Yuki fight, him dying is fine.

[@tatersalad76]

The master manipulator got outplayed because he didn't realize there were people capable of competing with him intellectually. It's a very fitting ending for him

[@SemekiIzuio]

Yup hes like Aizen except I think a bit more cynical. The OST Hundred used is Bleach so I think it fits so well with kenjaku lol

[@shaggygoatboy1125]

IF Kenjaku is truly dead, then I think Gege completely botched the writing of his death. You can't have an antagonist chase his goal for a thousand+ years, and then be completely unfazed when he's killed just before reaching that very goal. Being a master manipulator does NOT mean you don't have emotions, like any other character. You mean to tell me Kenjaku dedicated centuries to the merger, and when he's killed and fails to satisfy his curiosity...he's just chill about it? He simply smiles, and stays cool? No. I call bulls**t on that. Even evil geniuses can be frustrated at their failures: even Aizen had a breakdown at the end.

[@RJ_96145]

Kenjaku’s gone. Major issue folks have is not knowing his background. I feel like Gege may give us a Tengen flashback with the merger to learn more.

[@x10018ro]

I really don‘t get Kenjaku rn. Why would he care about his will being inherited, when his will was only ever his own curiosity? His plans don‘t mean anything to other people, only him and he‘s lived so long setting all this up, only to not see it himself in the end, there‘s no way he should be satisfied with that. Gege needs to do a lot of explaining to salvage his role in the story if he‘s out for good.

It sounds more fitting. It’s a Buddhist word or something Womb profusion doesn’t fit

[@saawysorenson4585]

Gharbahadtu in Hinduism (I think) is the place where babies yet to be born are, there is a similar concept for this in other cultures too, I like the name better too because the meaning is completely different, but damn is it hard to say.

[@Wryler8]

It’s similar to the guff in Hebrew, which is interesting because if that’s his Domain, then he truly must believe that he is capable of truly being the “father” of all future curses. I wonder if kenjaku is the curse representation of fears surrounding pregnancy

[@oru_malayaleezombie7329]

Gharbha does mean womb and shit related to giving birth

[@xfighters3913]

I enjoyed Kenjaku while he was around but I do wish we got to see more of him, I feel like we didn't get to see nearly enough of that anti gravity cursed technique he used against Yuki. I feel like people wouldn't be as upset about it and would consider it less of an asspull if Kenjaku used it more after the Yuki fight.

[@gvb3109]

The bleach soundtrack in the background is goated

[@chubs1816]

i kinda believe that kenjaku's final fight with takaba was more of a clash of personalities in how takaba didnt seem to have a care in the world and just wanted to make people laugh, compared to kenjaku, who spent the entire time being an analytical, planning mastermind, so i could see how in his fight with yuki and choso was completely analytical and winning, but in his fight with takaba his complete analytical perspective wouldnt work against takaba's personality/curse technique.

[@kevintanza6968]

You people seriously think that KENJAKU losing to fucking Takaba is a good way to kill the former hahahaha

[@Giffandaman]

Kenjaku is like the Blackbeard of JJK & both are similar. Stealing power and being the master mind behind things.

[@marvin9409]

I feel kinda bad for you and Fake Weeb tbh. I always enjoyed your videos and still going to, I just feel bad for the amount of times you both spend on some of you're analysis videos but Gege's writing always seem to make them amount to almost nothing. I'm talking about Fake Weeb's Miwa Video and you're Kamo video for example. Even with this Kenjaku video. I see you're points, the only problem for me is that Gege honestly doesn't seem to be able to write a proper story, with a good plot and deep themes. The fights are still great, but IMO there are to many characters or plot points which were introduced which kinda didnt mean anything at the end or were handled completely 'rushed' in a way. I'm not talking about Gojo's death which I honestly liked or what happened to Kashimo (I'm still baffled that this dude had a fanbase and people were actually 100% certain he would do anything in the story lol) but lots of wasted potential Both plot and characters wise. Most of you will know what I'm talking about...Given that Gege admitted to either not like or not having any idea what to do with some of his MAIN characters and generally coming off as not really giving a shit about them, kinda made me aphatetic to 90% of the cast and the story in general. This and the fact that he tends to explain every detail of a cursed technique which he enjoys but then not properly explain the background of characters we've followed since the series began and still almost know nothing about even tho we're already in the final arc... This is not meant as an offense towards you both as I still enjoy you're videos, especially you're manga reviews It's just sad how much JJK fell off as it had so freaking much potential. I hope you're still enjoying what you do, and If that's the case I'm happy for you.

Nothing against this KZbinr because I'm sure he does it out of passion and I'm happy if he is making some money with this. More power to him. But a lot of English-speaking KZbin channels have a bad habit of overanalyzing to the point that anything can seem like world-class writing (in Latin America we have the opposite problem of not analyzing anything). Kenjaku getting his head cut off after a comedy sketch with a very minor character (Takaba) is bad writing. Heck, if this was MHA, Black Clover, Bleach, or Naruto, people would admit it was awful. Hopefully Kenjaku is still alive.

So ofc his backup plan got initiated when Geto's Body was killed by Yuta. Thats not to say Kenjaku himself is dead though, so thats why im not buying he's dead

[@danieloyeleye3257]

Kenjaku never did anything for the sake of anyone else. This idea has Kenjaku has an ounce of selflessness in his entire being is just false. He could've been a good father to Yuji or Choso but it didn't fit HIS goals so he didn't. The merger wasn't for the sake of Tengen or to make humanity better it was for the sake of HIS curiosity. He wanted to know what a Tengen merged with people in Japan would look like and do. I understand that Yuki and Kenjaku represent possible evolutions of humanity. The thing is Yuki was selfless so her dying to do that makes sense but Kenjaku was entirely selfish so him dying and passing that nonsense to Sukuna was just an out. We can't even get his reaction to the merger, I'm not even convinced the merger will even happen so it's all pointless imo.

[@saawysorenson4585]

Yeah I kinda agree with this. Like if his motivation is seeing the fucking thing, than how does him dying go in line with that. My theory for now is that he was being disingenuous when he said it was his curriosity and actually had unterior motivations. Him getting mad when Yuki said she'd get rid of CE plays into this a bit too.

[@vansoih7206]

NAHH PLS NO HES ALIVE

[@markjaphetsegui6403]

for me Kenjaku true goal is to end suffering and his true end game is to end Individualism, cause remember Curse energy is leak from the non-sorcerer from their negative emotion such as hatred, envy, pride, etc. and all of this will end if everyone is robbed off of their free will or be "MERGED" into one entity while Yuki will end the suffering through collective effort and independence from Curse, like Toji who has heavenly restriction having absolute 0 curse energy and if every single human has split way with the Curse the root of problem will disappear

[@Psychx_]

Is Takaba dead or was he just being a clown again when he was dressed like a corpse in a burial ritual?

[@MichRoyal]

Gege sure loves his parallels. "I am you." Etc. Kenjaku's battle with Takaba imo is peak irony. Kenjaku is a character defined by his intelligence, logic, precision, and knowledge. Leave it to Gege to cook up a character who is the exact opposite of these things. Comedy in itself tends to be funny due to its lack of logic, its randomness, and the ability to reach someone through pure charisma and imagination. The comedian in itself was the stark contrast of someone who valued intellect and prep time above all else. It was simply broken with no logic, and completely disregarded one's intellect for sake of random comedy primarily. Makes me think with all this talk about "love" for Sukuna and how he finds it worthless, the one who'll teach him about it is Yuta because he's defined by love. Rika is love manifested in cursed form. I think most of us assume it'll be Yuji to pull off the W, but I think Sukuna is about to get taught love's value by the original MC. Yuji will probably have his W moment against merged Tengen.
