Kenjaku vs Takaba Full Fight EXPLAINED | Jujutsu Kaisen

[@Salemwaaa]

Takaba’s first fight being against Kenjaku of all people was honestly peak writing from Gege once we let it sit

[@VG_164]

His first fight was technically against Hazenoki. Most of it was just off screen.

[@1922_kinda_girl]

I mean higuruma only real fight was against Sukuna 😭

​@@Hugo_TateHe had beef with yuji first

[@sarunotaslt]

my favorite foreshadow? is at 18:49. Takaba has three tickets almost foreshadowing Yuta's arrival.

Takaba ability putting you in purgatory of jokes and you can't do anything about it until he is satisfied is crazy XD

[@BrainyonYT]

I like going back to this fight every now and then to remind myself of the pain I felt and see the goat "The One who took back shots" Kenjaku goof off with a clown then get snuck

Not gonna lie, seeing a special grade curse being one shot by truck kun was hilarious tbh

[@mattb.7079]

This really is the type of fight and thematic argument that makes me love JJK so much. It seems to come from nowhere at first, but when you look at it, it couldn't have been more fitting to place it here (if only as a tonal counterpoint). This is what makes the whole discourse about loneliness all the more poignant and resonant emotionally

[@PluPerfective]

Takaba is the strongest pacifist. His ability is to change reality itself through jokes. Comedian also brings the victim imagination to reality too, thoughts, even if its minuscule.

[@befoul77]

As a stand up comedian this fight and video has probably taught me the most about how to truley be a funny stand up. Thanks for the analysis!

[@Flamingo48923]

Yeah, just manipulate reality and it makes things way more fun

[@dr.consumerock6798]

​@@Flamingo48923But then you gotta fight some 700 year old body highjacker

[@VG_164]

Absolutely love your take on his flashback. Made me appreciate it in an entirely new light.

[@gengarclefairy3475]

For your question around 1:45 I believe Kenjaku wanted more bodies to throw into the mix, considering he himself said that he wanted be create chaos “beyond his control” and is just rolling with it

[@JayRoninJay]

I though this fight is genius and funny af when I first read it, now watching your video it makes me love it even more!

[@jezebulls]

Man watching Takaba do his thing and making Kenjaku laugh is like watching Geto laugh. What a treat those panels were.

[@Dato_07]

ur vids are so good to watch when ur doing work, like a podcast keep it up by the time jjk is done ull be way higher than u are now

[@SmokeySeas]

Dude you have such great insight in Gege's characters and their motivations. It makes perfect sense for Kenjaku to be like a lost priest going on a 1000+ year long journey to create a cursed god. That's honestly feels closest to what Kenjaku's true motivations are for why he does anything that he does.

[@zirconexists]

yo the fact that kenjaku's whole plot wouldve been prevented by him just having a friend like takaba is insane

[@vaibhavselvakumar4924]

A one hour video lets go

[@VyDovah]

Takaba’s fight exceeded my expectations and was wild to experience weekly.

[@kimmy_jong_un]

this shit will be like a fever dream when animated lmao

[@TajOnTop]

The JJK Wiki says Takaba came to the scene due to Ui Ui’s teleportation

[@victorg8128]

“Sukuna isn’t the kind of person to openly go out of his way to destroy the world” few months later he tells Yuji he’s going to kill everyone in the world before he kills him 😭

[@SupaMalaman]

loved this fight, great analysis. Thank you for your time

[@chandraray7798]

I wonder if angel's fear of letting takaba know about his power and how it works isn't because she's afraid he would lose his power if he's self aware. I think it's because the power would be terrifying if he was self aware. Imagine someone who laughs at other people's pain and misery and who can knowingly use that power.

[@Mudayunt]

Great vid as always dawg!

[@Swamp_Walker]

I like your sukuna take. I’ve always noticed sukuna just wants to fight people who attack him first, people who insult him, or people who are strong. I find sukuna less and less evil and more like a yugiro hanma style character. Kenny is a VILLIAN, sukuna is simply living the roll of the strongest and doing what he feels like. I know we’ve all seen sukuna love of good food, I’m waiting on sukuna to turn of Kenny just to save the planet because he finds some good food or something that the modern era. Sukuna not evil he’s just so strong normal people might as well be ants, much like you don’t think of stepping on an ant, he doesn’t think of stepping on anyone he just does what he wants.

[@guyhathansaintil5218]

"the women and children first itll be a massacre" sukunas first line

[@lordship1543]

What you've just described is a perfect encapsulation of evil. Living for your own pleasurable persuits at the expense of others with not even the slightest consideration of your actions impact them.

[@Layd36]

​@@guyhathansaintil5218yujiro is no different lol, beating his own son to death and killing his wife and you know many of his shenanigans

[@Layd36]

​​@@lordship1543well I say he's chaotic evil, I mean there are people like mahito who manipulate dudes like junpei and have them kill their own classmates and friends and even killed his mum, I'm sure there are worse people than sukuna, not saying Sukuna isn't evil as the dude has no care but still you could at least reason with him as long as your strong like gojo was or even jogo who put up a good fight, he would respect those who fight back for sure but hey he obviously will kill you probably giving a merciful death

[@amishtechwizard5540]

@@Layd36 Sukuna purposely torments both Yuji and Megumi. At least in Megumi’s case you could argue the torment was necessary to make him a fully viable vessel but still. He killed his mentor and his sister against his will.

[@Brian-qt6su]

Kenjaku like, “why’d I make these dudes wizards?”

[@highhaloguy806]

Being a class clown this actually hit home I gotta go do some thinking lol

[@matthewallen9707]

Transitioning into manga reading (first one woohoo) after season 2 finished, i was getting pretty let down by the power sets of the culling games. Nothing seemed interesting, and Takehba was almost the straw that broke the camels back... But this fight made me actually cackle like a madman, outloud. I was so sad when it finished, and it completely reinvigorated my love for the property. I am 100% more excited for this fight to be animated than anything else in the manga right now. I really hope they keep all the amazing references. Flipping a page to see kenny dressed up as bandit keith was the highlight of 2023 for me.

[@harder4482]

Watching this while doing my homework, thanks for the long vid 😇

[@goldr7198]

It's just kind of ironic. With his power, he definitely has the potential to be the most powerful sorcerer, but at the same time, being the most powerful eventually can become boring and unfunny anymore, which could lead to cancel out his own power lol..

Thats what im saying uraume should scale way higher then hakari and should be a kenjaku lvl opponent

[@bu11ymaguire]

What has she done to scale her higher than hakari? Neutralize a bunch of grade 3 and 1 grade 2s.. hakari is equal to yuta who is a special grade. And uraume is not close to kenjaku.. she has range attacks and can neutralize fodders but a strong dude like yuta who has the speed and the strength can take her.

[@dang1099]

God damn, seeing Takaba cry hit me similar to when i saw Choso cry. Why does JJK tug at your heart strings so god damn much!?

[@SirGray.]

Takaba is so confusing it takes an hour just to explain one fight💀💀

[@ianharrison5758]

I think kenjaku baited the USA and got soldiers into the CG bc he knew that the sorcerers would join. Yuji had no choice, and even though he didn’t know about the back of the prison realm he would have known abt Megumis sister and Angel. I think his first assumption was that the sorcerers would make these rules and find Angel, to then have them all attack him, and he could start the merger regardless bc he hadn’t made the rule that the CG would only end when Megumi and Geto were the last ones left. He wanted Yuji as a vessel for Sukuna and didn’t expect Sukuna to body hop and snatch Fushiguro, or at least he thought it was possible but didn’t think he’d do it so early or that Yuji would come out of that swap alive. He was talking about the barriers CE levels around each colony at one point so we know he split them up to the point he could potentially exclude one from the merger since CE doesn’t flow all around Japan through then, and from how he referred to it, it seems like Reggie was kinda right, and the CG is a cover for something else. He said it sounded like it was a coverup plan and kenjaku said that what we currently know about his plan is only around 60% of it before Uraume cut him off. I think the soldiers were there just to ensure there was enough CE for that colony accounting for various back up plans in case any part of his plan gets foiled. We saw that from him transferring authority to start the merger to someone else and how he was able to force a rule into the CG despite not being the game master by threatening to break the barriers around Japan.

I refuse to believe Yuji doesnt have an inherited technique, ir perhaps even 2 like Gojo, knowing both sides of his family are sorcerers.

[@SirBeachBoy]

Gojo doesn't have 2 techniques

[@HATERMANL]

@Niggidy technically, he does limitless, and six eyes are two separate things

the six eyes isn't a technique, it's a trait. the limitless is his cursed technique@@HATERMANL

His is red and blue. I'm pretty sure which are close enough to be the same technique but are used to differently, plus his infinity is most definitely different from red and blue

to be fair, the jokes that were written in that final chapter of kenjaku and takabas may seem “nonsensical” but i imagine they just make much more sense to japanese readers.

If getos body has died would that mean majoto would come bakc or was he destroyed when kenjaku activated the culling games?

He was used up in the Maximum Uzumaki on Miwa. If that didn’t do it then most definitely when he used his technique to start the games.
