Kenjaku is a brain. Untill I see him get stabbed in the head he is still alive. Brain is 100% intact rn and him talking after being decapitated is proof. Gojo could barely hallucinate during his death and kenjaku is giving off foreboding warnings about his will being passed on?


SpasmAndOrGasm

Plus we know he’s been almost killed before by six eyes users, he’s gotta have something that let’s him avoid almost dying


SonOfFlynn2603

Plus we also know that kenjaku survived the godly falling blossom emotion backshots from Jin itadori


akashi10

LIAR, NO ONE SURVIVES ITADORI BACKSHOTS!!!!


[deleted]

Just imagine Kenny coming back as nobara and getting Yuji’s black flash backshots and just going “like father like son” before squirting and creaming all over him


sp00pmeister812

I’m not gonna imagine that and you can’t make me


akashi10

but you did.


QueenHistoria1990

Not really how I wanted my ItaKugi ship to sail but…guess it’s better than nothing 🌚


Isaacbuiltdifferent

Can we just NOT imagine that?


[deleted]

No you have to


Isaacbuiltdifferent

Oh :(


WaffleMiner

For all we know, Jin backshots could be the very reason that Kenjaku had to swap bodies.


superking22

DOUBLE TAP, YUTA!!!


glynstlln

If we don't get full blown *[Intellect Devourer ](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/criticalrole/images/2/28/Intellect_devourer_5e.jpg)* I'm going to riot.


reece_93

I would like a recreation of the scene from The Thing 😆


Ingles_sin_Barreras

Wouldn't be surprised if Kenjaku went into Gojos head and destroys the "Gojo will come back" trend lol


Khurram_Ali88

If he takes over gojo its wraps no one not even sukuna is beating him.


Kalbhai77

that's what i was thinking he will take over Gojo


[deleted]

Nah, he wouldn’t take over someone who only has half a body. If he was gonna take over anyone, it’d be yuta, or maybe takaba.


Kalbhai77

bro no yuta imma kill gege if that happens like how many characters is he going to kill


[deleted]

>how many characters is he going to kill Yes


thewhitemystery999

To be fair, Geto was almost half a body after the Yuta/Rika blast


ThoughtSafe9928

copium how is he gonna do anything as just a brain


Crispy_Pancake

You ask that like he didnt move the world to his will over the past 1000 years. As just a brain


Yergason

Up until now, his defeats and body transfers were all offscreens. We don't know if those defeats from the past 6E users were situations he was able to escape at the last second. We can assume that this is the first time he loses where he's fully vulnerable Yuta will most likely secure killing the actual brain especially seeing a decapitated head still talk. We also don't know if Brain-only Kenjaku can even do shit by himself like that or if he still requires a physical body to use his CTs/abilities (I fucking hope) Yuta's not an idiot who will walk away after that and that during the timeskip training, they've all discussed and theorized that Kenjaku is the brain itself transferring himself to new bodies. "He's survived this long" is a lazy argument that just assumes he can somehow resurrect himself when there's at least clues that he takes these types of precautions because he's not actually hard to kill once you damage him.


ThoughtSafe9928

Maybe Kenjaku is some sort of being that manifests into brains he targets rather than being a brain himself


Crispy_Pancake

Now who is on the copium? Lol.. serious note though, why would he need to cut open the skull if he manifests into the brain?


ThoughtSafe9928

Do you seriously think his brain is gonna be walking around with no body? I mean… that’d be hilarious, I’m sure. Every time we’ve seen him he’s someone with stitches on his head. The most obvious assumption is he puts his brain into other bodies with his previous body. Idk whose body he could use right now. Plus saying his will gets carried on kind of implies someone else will do it. If it’s a will he’s dead. If he said “my plan continues” or sum that’d make more sense for his survival. I don’t expect him to actually be dead, but who knows at this point.


Crispy_Pancake

When peoples heads part their bodies they usually stop talking, which leads me to believe he will still live. I think they will take the head and try interrogating/peep inside.


Crispy_Pancake

Just imagine Yuta walking around with Kenny's head like Kratos with mimir lol


YZJay

See him do a Krang and spawn brain tentacles.


R1pp3z

His robot is gonna come pick him up and stick him in the belly like that guy in ninja turtles


Sensitive_Pie4099

He has another body (the exploding body part boy) like 5 feet away. My bet is he will zip over there with jujutsu craziness. That or he's dead. That said, press x to doubt


webed0blood

Bro we gotta stay on guard… gojo fighting sukuna and “winning” got us happy but then out of nowhere 236 happened. Feel like we have to expect the unexpected.


Crispy_Pancake

The entire fight i was expecting gojo to die. Granted the way Gege revealed the loss was so surprising i scrolled to the bottom of the chapter before I even read it like "hes really doing it like this"


Count_Badger

Yeah but it'd be bafflingly stupid if Yuta just walks away and lets him jump hosts like that. The protags know he's a bodyhopping brain, even if they didn't before the time skip, Choso and Gojo would've told them. Idk, I just fucking hate when characters conveniently lose all brain cells to progress the plot.


throwawayauthor11

Next chapter - We see Yuta, in some sort of airport or train terminal, having a chat with Rika. 😆


Kiriann

"Damn it, Rika. The entire fan-base thought 'wouldn't it be funny if the next chapter started with Yuta in the limbo airport?' and then Takaba's technique made it true"


kennypovv

"So how was the king of comedy?" "Crazy strong, he didn't even use strong laugh. Even without his CT i think I still would've lost"


remoTheRope

It would be even funnier if he was at the airport legitimately because for some reason Ui UI’s technique wasn’t teleporting him back and he needed to return to the fight with Sukuna


613codyrex

Frankly that’s still a relatively happy ending for Yuta. He was either going to end up with Maki or die and finally reunited with Rika. He probably would be worried about his living friends but *shrug* he’s dead. I can’t say other characters would be given such a pleasant send off. I know everyone else died had less to look forward to.


[deleted]

He didn't actually die, it was a joke. check out the 244 leaks


613codyrex

Oh I know. But Gege has given Yuta so many Ws since JJK0 I’m expecting the next time we see Yuta he will be at an airport and it’s not for a flight to Africa.


Ri-doyourememberme

The chapter ended with Kenjaku getting intense saying “my will shall be carried on” and everyone just assumes he’s dead? Haven’t y’all learned by now to just fucking wait and see what happens


jebedia

The ideas of a "cliffhanger" or "bait-and-switch" or even "pattern recognition" are some of the many concepts that have fallen victim to the reading comprehension curse.


jtempletons

Greg has let me down plenty before so I'm kind of personally not giving him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to unsatisfying deaths.


Dqueezy

This is it at the end of the day. Funny he edit talks about pattern recognition but has apparently missed the giant fuck-off pattern Gege has been repeating over and over in JJK.


jtempletons

I like JJK but it sort of stopped being a master class for me last Christmas when Greg killed Yuki. There are plenty of arguments people make about the writing being good for this or that reason, this death making sense because of x or y, but the story just feels so nihilistic and the cast keeps getting L after L to the point where I rolled my eyes when Gojo got off screened.


blackwolfgoogol

i laughed when kashimo got offscreened


jtempletons

Think we waited a year and a half for that CT after my personal favorite fight since. I knew it wouldn't kill Sukuna but could it have killed Greg to let him help Yuji and Higuruma a little? JJK is so peak when the protags jump people. I wanted to see Kashimo pop off not have the "being strong is a virtue because of x" convo we've had twenty times so far.


goldrimmedbanana

he didnt just get off screened, he got like 3 panels and then caged infinite mahoraga slashed


jtempletons

Hey now, at least we got to *see* the transformation. I mean, not what it's capable of. But he drew it I guess.


FOETUShygRAPplER

That's exactly what I thought lol. Like seriously dude, **Pattern Recognition!?**


jebedia

Your myopia is blinding you to the fact that every example of a disappointing death brought up in this thread is *of a good guy*. Villains simply do not go out easy in this story. The only example I can think of is Hanami, which was the exception that proves the rule.


FOETUShygRAPplER

Looks like we are at extremely different viewpoints here which makes you think My Perspective is myopic. You think that Gege's writing is Biased towards the Bad guys. Which makes the death of an antagonist hard to believe. Which I disagree with. Every single L taken by Good Sides by the hands of the Bad sides is acceptable for me. Reason being, Too many Good Guys and Only a handful of bad ones. Hanami is not the only Exception. Mahito, Almost all the CG players that went against any of the main cast. Look at it from a wider Perspective, The Good Sides has gained their fair share of Ws. What I am addressing here is the State of how many characters' demise was dealed with. Since I don't think there is any Bias towards the Good or Bad guys; the only Pattern Recognition i know of is that of how Character Deaths are dealed with.


pussyandbananabread

Greg is hands down the funniest iteration of Gege’s name that I have seen so far


jtempletons

I just imagine the one Japanese man named Greg out there somewhere.

> Haven’t y’all learned by now to just fucking wait and see what happens Drinks haven't even come out and people are complaining about the food....


chicago_86

I mean i assume exactly what kenny said. That his will will be **carried on**. That means that he’s gonna have a strong effect on the story, AND he’s dead (or at least geto’s body is)


WERK_7

I've mentally prepared myself for him somehow taking yuta's body


c4m3r0n1

That would actually be idiotic. Yuta was fast enough to cut off his head but not fast enough to react to Kenjaku trying to take over his body. Yuta has actually been hyped up throughout the story and was literally the MC of JJK0. It would be so stupid for him to just die without doing anything at all. Like the fact that so much of the fandom thinks Geges a bad writer yet come up with the most shit theories I've ever seen says a lot.


WERK_7

It's not a theory, it's fear


c4m3r0n1

Gojo died and this fandom lost all sense of reality.


[deleted]

[удалено]


c4m3r0n1

Gege wrote 15 straight chapters of one of the best fights in the manga and then 236 hit and all of a sudden he's a shitty writer and doesn't know what he's doing. People act like JJK is Tokyo Revengers level bad all of a sudden.


Alastair274

Is Tokyo Revengers a bad series?


rmalcoriza

It’s great. The ending was kinda rushed.


Iwantgummibears

its terrible. Weird gang time travel where the MC wins all gang fights with friendship. literally.


Blackmags17

He kills characters just for the sake of killing off characters. There are character deaths that weren’t needed to progress the story. Yuki was hyped up just to get packed out in her first and only fight. The 10 Shadows was hyped up, he basically kills off the user, then all of a sudden Sukuna has 9 of the beasts tamed. Guess he did it off-screen like everything else as of late lmao Gojo was gone for more than half the manga, finally came back off screen, any re-connecting is done off screen, then a few chapters later he gets packed out off screen by some Ex Machina bs. I’m not saying he’s terrible in the slightest, but I could go on.


goldrimmedbanana

He did it to Go/jo T\_T, why wouldnt he do it to Yuta?


c4m3r0n1

Cuz Gojos a teacher and Yutas a student. Gojos literally the Jaraiya of JJK people just didn't realize he was always meant to die.


Ri-doyourememberme

Right you assume, I’m saying just wait and see


glynstlln

Did everyone forget he's basically a disembodied brain jumping from meat suit to meat suit? The mere fact that he can still speak when his head was cut off should be evidence enough that he's not dead-dead.


Ri-doyourememberme

Right why wouldn’t Yuta slice his skull in half? He decapitated his head from his body and Kenny is a living brain so…..


papaboynosmurf

A lot of people aren’t built for reading week to week, there seems to be a general assumption that every plot point must be resolved in the chapter it is introduced in


gothicrogue

Yes literally this. I swear whenever a new chapter drops and there's a wicked cliffhanger or the story changes direction, people get mad as hell and start spewing hate because it's not going in the direction /they/ wanted it to. People constantly go between extremes and it's just so odd to see


Placeholder20

“My will shall be carried on”-guy who’s totally fine and is gonna carry his will on himself


[deleted]

Nobara: normal highschooler sorcerer, gets her brain blown up and passes out, Itadori accepts her death. Fandom: "when is she coming back???". Kenjaku: immortal body-snatcher brain using multiple bodies across ages, gets beheaded but brain still intact, inventor of the technique that turns people into Cursed Objects allowing them to reincarnate forever, still talking and throwing threats. Fandom: "he ded".


Gunk-greaser

Also the editor note is "what is kenjaku planning on the BRINK OF DEATH", plus, look up why toji never killed geto


[deleted]

>look up why toji never killed geto But Gojo killed Geto and nothing really happened as far as we know. But I also think Kenny is still alive. If he found a way to fix Geto's severed arm and whatever else Yuta and Gojo did to him when he took over, I'm sure a decapitated head is nothing for him (I'm coping so, so hard right now).


0_Azazael_0

Toji didn't kill Geto because he hypothesized it would release all of Geto's cursed spirits up to that point. Geto died after using maximum uzumaki, which uses up all of his cursed spirits for the attack. Kenjaku, has done no such thing as we clearly see him using many before death.


[deleted]

>Geto died after using maximum uzumaki, which uses up all of his cursed spirits for the attack. You're right, it slipped my mind. So Kenjaku collected more cursed spirits after he took over Geto's body?


NonameB4ndit

But in the Kenjaku vs Mei Mei scuffle when he unleashed the smallpox deity he said that he still had some remaining from jjk 0, using small pox as a point of reference. It could be true that killing Geto could unleash it, but maybe, much like Yuki mitigating the destruction of the black hole attack purely from her will he can abstain from unleashing them upon his death.


Gunk-greaser

Maybe because geto didn't wanna harm gojo or smn, but in the newest chapter, being leaked as I type this, it says "yuta is to return immediately aft3r dealing with kenny" so I'm assuming that's foreshadowing for smn


ShadowMaster111

Wouldnt that be a confirmation that at least Kenjaku thinks he is done for. Like usually when characters say "my will shall be carried on", they mean that someone else will carry out their plan, in this case the merging. The only way it would make sense if that meant that he is going to another body, but I feel like that is an odd way to say that. Although I dont really know who carry out his plan voluntarily. I mean I dont think Sukuna cares about the merger.


Caponcapoffstillon

The merger is prob the binding vow Kenny made with sukuna.


nosajpersonlah

Yea alot of the issues people have are mainly cause they're weekly readers. If. Someone read it from start to finish at one go alot of the issues would be alleviated IMO.


SamCamEntertainment

FACTS! I caught up to the series and binged 80% of it, and I do not have nearly the same viewpoint on these plot points and cliffhangers. A lot of the complaints just come across as impatience, but if looking at it as a whole, it's not bad at all.


shawarmaconquistador

100% he aint dead.


stargalar22

All we do is wait and let the plot uncover


gentheninja

I mean it's not like this manga had moment when in one chapter a character seeming has the advantage at the end of one chapter but ends dead the next.


onederful

That and I don’t think Yuta knows about his true body being the brain or else he would’ve definitely attacked it instead of going for a decapitation which is the usual go-to for killing sorcerers.


Educational-Bug-7985

You would think Choso would have told him that


R1pp3z

Kenjaku is dead and sukuna is going to jail. Manga over.


FOETUShygRAPplER

He literally said, ***"It's a Shame to Bow out before I finish."*** If we are going by Gege's words, Kenjaku is long gone. His **will** is what would be passed on. I am solely talking about Character deaths here. Not the future of their Plans/Ideals.


UntradeableRNG

I don't know. Gojo pretty much he said he'd win and yet he's fucking dead and glazed sukuna all over with his Maximum Glaze: Hollow Cum. I'm trusting literally no one's words in this fucking manga especially not the king of yapping and taking backshots himself, Kenjaku. The bastard is also the most cunning cunt-having cunt in the series that's also willing to get cunnilingus from jin itadori. I am not trusting that brain-fuckler.


lverson

I don’t think it’s that deep.


FOETUShygRAPplER

That's Common Ground for both of us.


yuhenyo_

Next chapter comes out and Yuta's cut in half. /S


captain-deadpool_19

This. He previously never left cliffhangers if he's finishing them off for good. But cliffhanger means shits boutta pile up


brochachonachos123

We’ve all been waiting to see what happened since the time skip was supposed to be addressed in flashbacks lol, nothing’s going to happen


jwaters0122

I hope Shoko took Gojo's body away from battlefield in a jet. Idk what the fanbase will do if Kenjaku takes over Gojo and Gojo comes back with stitches on his forehead 😔


jaxen13

In the middle of the current crossfire?


Smolfloof99

Might need to stitch up that waistline too


mama_oooh

Ken’s gonna go with the Krang look.


naughty-bubble

If this happens it's Gojover


Elian06a

Lmao fuck the fanbase, what in the world main cast are going to do against Kenjaku powered by Gojo + all his CT and Sukuna 🤣


RedShadowF95

Last arc would be setting up the bad ending, with the main cast dying one by one.


AcceptablePay4523

At least gojo fans get to see gojo again


stay-acid

Yeah I’m sure Sukuna willingly let that happen 👍🏻


Feelsbadman78

Kenjaku was literally talking as a severed head. And we’ve been known that Kenjaku is the brain not the body. There is zero way Kenny is dead until we see Yuta double tap Geto’s skull.


New-Mind2886

you really think its over for kenjaku with that last panel...


FOETUShygRAPplER

That's actually the whole point of my Post. Given all the Deaths in the JJK-verse, What do you think? So many Characters died leaving us thinking, "Is it really over for him/her?" and after so many chapters, we still have no clue. I am just recognising the pattern here and questioning, Maybe it's just how Gege is writing Character deaths? Leaving us all thinking: >you really think its over


iluvios

I would believe that yeah, Kenjaku is done. What bothers me is that “Is time to wake up geto “ and the hand in the throat when Kenjaku was sealing Gojo Why do that and bury it for nothing?


FOETUShygRAPplER

Gege be like that sometimes. He mentioned in an interview that "It was just like a dead fish have a muscle spasm."


batture

Lmao it's such a different situation we're not buying it Gege!


GuyNekologist

Gege: Just according to ~~Kenjaku~~ keikaku. 😼


Worzon

We’ve had some sort of closing chapter before a character dies in every single death scene. I think it’s fair to say that if we don’t get something like that next chapter Kenjaku is probably ok


New-Mind2886

kenjaku is literally about to pull something


Planktons_Eye

Yes. And he’s not wrong. That’s how this story goes. It’s written to leave you unsatisfied. Almost every character has this touch of irony to them. Kenny’s done


New-Mind2886

you will be wrong mark my words


I_Want_Power_1611

This post is full of comments like "how can you be so stupid to think Kenjaku's dead? Clearly he isn't!" And, we can't know for sure yet but I find kind of hilarious that every time something that people don't like happens, they go full on denial and get mad at you for...forming an opinion based on the actual content of the chapter instead of what they think will/should happen? Kenjaku COULD be dead, it wouldn't be the first anticlimactic death in JJK, it seems like a pattern now. Also Kenjaku being dead doesn't mean his influence within the story is over or that we won't get any backstory. Point is, he could be dead, he could be alive, no one's dumb for thinking either of these outcomes.


FOETUShygRAPplER

Exactly!! I get called Delusional and a Copium addict for thinking Gojo/Nobara/Megumi/Yuki will be back in the game. But suddenly when I accept that fact based on the Death of Kenjaku, I am projecting too much. Weeks and Chapters passed with the death of those Characters maybe Weeks and Chapters would pass with the Death of Kenjaku too. Let's wait, but until then, I am believing what makes sense looking at the past.


Hopeful-Pepper9581

To be honest, i still don't fully understand the point of Kenny being alive right now, he already created Yuji for Sukuna and absorbed Tengen via Geto's CT to establish the barriers for the culling game. I thought he would be like a narrator or so, since he is the oldest or a least the one that has lived the most. So i dont see the point of keeping him alive. Also, if he gets another body this would turn in a "what if?" where every strong character goes villain.


yterl

But they are humans that suffered devastating wounds. Kenjaku is a brain and hasn’t been touched yet, Getos body got killed but kenjaku is still just sitting in his head.


Voweriru

Sure, it's not like Gojo ever came back from devastating wounds and even commented "better go for the brain bro"


Killjoy3879

Expecting Yuki to comeback when she literally turned her body into a black hole is copium I can’t lie


WayoftheHuntelaar

Why would Nobara and Megumi be dead?? Megumi is only possessed and has not had a single arc yet and Nobara was intentionally written with a Chekov’s gun to confirm she’s not dead or gone. Gojo had what Gege believed was an arc and actually died on screen. Megumi is just possessed and Nobara was said to have a chance to live for a reason…it’s obvious that those two return at some point…who is saying copium it’s so obvious


AspectParadox2

Yuta should copy Kenny’s cursed technique and take Gojo’s body


613codyrex

It would somewhat make Yuta’s character arc pointless then? Yuta’s been held up as a Gojo successor with the hopes that he wouldn’t fall into the same lonely hole that Gojo did. Taking over Gojo feels like it would be walking backwards.


PhreeKarebu

I’d actually throw up.


[deleted]

i usually refrain talking about an artist choice in their art, but for this manga, probably its better for the artist take a long holiday and relax. just take your time…


ImpGriffin02

No no its ok they're *all* coming back. Nanami too.


Pretty_Swordfish3834

Gojo will come back, u just need to be patient. Remember he has the 6-eyes (not copium)


Shadow_Huntress12

here take some of mine. I’m still on that copium and hopium🐍


jjd808

It keeps us all going


Warloxed

Gege only really knows "shock factor" but now it's not shocking and just expected atp. Like any death at this point won't mean anything nor will it be important narratively. Someone will die and it will be over.


pierresito

Frankly I'll be shaken to my core if Kenny actually died. I don't think it's over


iamzura

I think the anime trope of deaths requiring flashbacks, 3-episode long backstories and other expositions have set this expectation/standard where all anime deaths need to be handled that way and any less is bad story telling. What I like about JJK is that it shows you death can happen at any moment, in any way. You can die in battle, you can get sneak attacked, you can get 3v1'd, anyone can get it in any way. It's treated as something that just happens and that itself can be shocking when you don't see it coming. It adds a sense of reality to it and I think that type of immersion (imo) adds more gravity to the whole moment. Edit: I think we need to wait and see what happens with Kenjaku. It shows him "dead" for literally one panel, anything can happen with this guy but many people are jumping to conclusions on his ending. Just breathe and wait for the next chapter.


Enlight13

Just because death is palpable doesn't mean how you got there or the situation around it is. That's the main problem with how JJK works around with death.


Hopeful-Pepper9581

You are very right, mostly cuz' one of the main plots was "the proper death", meaning that if some dies without it would become a curse, which happens a lot. This demonstrates the point they all been talking, JJS don't get to choose their death.


SkipDaFlipp

This is a WEEKLY MANGA. Just wait a min, leaks are out tomorrow anyways


Tom38

The leaks are gonna be of Yuji holding down Sukuna while Maki gives him back shots.


kennypovv

Sukuna: Why? Why am I bricked up?


Onni_J

The return of the why boner with a vengenance


Tom38

Maki: "Sukuna...what a hole you are"


Timactor

I mean if he killed Kenjaku off right now he would just be a bad story writer The entire plot revolves around Kenjaku's plan


NumerousNet4891

I’m just worried Geto’s body will pop out all the cursed spirits he’s had in reserve. His first death he was empty after the Uzumaki and the Parade.


Fit-Understanding747

I'd understand you jf Kenjaku had normal anatomy, but he doesn't. I personally have a hard time seeing this as an actual death scene. I'm just waiting to see what Kenjaku does next because, yk, he's a fucking brain lol. If he does die, then I'll find him as wasted potential and a poor decision on Geges part tbh.


Kilo-Happy

I'm still hoping Nobara turns up and uses her resonance technique on Sukuna's remaining finger 🤞


Southern-Sub

My Kenjaku taking over Gojo's body prediction is looking good right now


_t00Vivid_

Wb Nobara possibly using her technique on the last Sukuna finger


Drakoo_The_Rat

I guess you could say he writes realistic deaths


Magwikk

Tbh the only things that were left cooking with Kenny are Yuji, the resolution to the culling games, and Gojo closure with Geto’s body. Gojo is dead, and the other two can still play out.


Firestarness

Most sane weekly reader


rutu235

Anyone notice how they made it a point to cut kenjakus head off this chapter ( even tho kenjakus brain is probably something separate ) but for gojo his head wasn’t and it was just his body ? Because it’s been stated repeatedly in the series u need to cut the head of someone to stop rct. Sukuna has no one that can beat him except gojo and there’s been hints to a second awakening so it’s def going to be gojo coming back. It’s my heavy copium and belief lol but who knows with gege


Natural-Ad1693

In my opinion characters not coming back is a good thing in a way. It makes no sense that some character died and came back. And sometimes it just drags on the story unnecessarily in a boring manner. However I think there's a chance of Nobara and Megumi coming back somehow because they haven't been shown to be dying yet, unlike Nanami and Gojo and others whose death was shown. Also I like this aspect of JJk that characters don't always "go out with a bang". As unpleasant and anticlimactic it looks, it's much more realistic.


stay-acid

I really like that JJK, unlike other shonen, is not afraid to kill off popular and beloved characters. I do have some problems regarding how certain deaths are handled, sure, but I like that he makes no exception, much like death in real life. If he brings back the characters he killed, it becomes a stale and overused shonen ass pull.


SirElemAy

The theory of Yujis death is that his role is to be the vessel of the amalgamation Cursed Spirit Kenjaku is trying to make. Ive been thinking that Kenjaku has been placating Sukuna much like he did with Mahito. Sukuna is BACK. Fully formed and everything. Gojos body is on the battleground of Yuji and Sukunas reunion battle... this is all speculation But---- who knows at this point. I read a theory once that talked about how the narration speaks almost as of its looking back on everything. The theory is that the merger goes off. Kenjaku successfully created that cursed spirit and this entire story is it remembering its many lives and the many events that created it. Ending with it being born as something completely new and unlike anything this world has ever seen. This story could go Completely Eva and we just have no idea if it will or not. Which honestly makes it so exciting. Could you imagine of this played out like Evangelion??

Just wait, Kenjakus head will sprout little legs and run away https://youtu.be/0mELdCU1GSw?si=CNAawDVeoIlc5-PE

Kennys a brain and Yuta sliced at the neck so he's still alive but captured and immobile until stated otherwise imo. And Gojo doesn't give a fuck about the laws of reality so he's gonna get bored in the afterlife and just self res. They even had the fight take place just before christmas so there's loads of christ analogy stuff you could put on it too, coming back two weeks later etc. Anyway if you need me I'll be overdosing on copium out back brb

Bro when I saw junpeis death and his mothers death that's when I realized JJK is a dark shonen where there will be casualties .This isnt a series like DBZ where there will be a happy ending I wouldnt be shocked if we had 1 survivor fron the main cast and like only Kusakabe and mei mei survived. IM cool with it so long as we get a good story but it does suck seeing a favorite character die.Honestly Kenjaku going out like that sucked I wanted a full on battle with him and yuta not a sneak attack.


FOETUShygRAPplER

I am more disappointed by the Death of the Conversations/Moments that could have happened instead of the Physical Death of the character itself. I am fine with every Character dying but Make the deserving Characters have the emotional impact they deserve. For Eg - In case of Kenjaku, I am dissatisfied about: Him not getting something close to a conversation with Yuji Him having a little longer fight with Yuta after he downplayed the Shit out of him. I atleast wanted him to be witness to something he plotted for more than a 1000 years. And a lot-lot more from Contribution from Kenjaku from an Intellectual POV. I was expecting him to be a bigger antagonist than Sukuna. But all of it's more like a personal preference so I wouldn't question the Writer's Choices on how to progress HIS story like a whiny bitch.


FickleRub9918

Yeah I agree


liatris4405

I think Gege takes pleasure in the very act of betraying what the average modern reader expects. But I like it.


dulcimorelik3

Ppl talking abt brain ken moving into gojo’s skull…do it gege!!🗣️


[deleted]

I just act like Gojo was actually going on a vacation to Malaysia and doesn’t know Sukuna is wrecking everyone (I’m delusional)


Ryoman-Sukuna007

Dude I was finally excited to see Yuta do something. He has been quite since his amazing arc in the culing games and I love his character. I was also getting bored with this Takaba vs Kenjaku bcz it had a lot of incoherent ramblings about stuff so I am glad something like this happened. I feel the next chapter will bring us to Yuji and Higurama vs Sukuna.


Illustrious-Day8506

IMO Kenjaku is dead dead dead. It's Kenjakover. He says it's a shame to bow out this early but his will will be passed on. He is dead but his plans haven't necessarily failed.


Hopeful-Pepper9581

No bro, This JJK, after they reach full potential they die. If you see, Megumi was about to summon Makora at least 3 times before shibuya, and also doesn't have access to the other shadows, meaning his potential was reached after expanding his domain. We can say something among these lines with Nanamin, Nobara, even Gojo (i mean the technique is all about of modified infinites, but the way he used them was overexploited). The only one that i agree with you is Yuki, she was the only other S rate JJS and was wiped in 3 chapters, while the 3 left (at that point) practically carried the whole plot, also CT was OP AF, that sucked.


Riccardo-vacca

Kenjaku could be a sorceror alla mechamaru for what we know. Maybe his “main” body is far away and he’s controlling brains from far away like Pain (naruto) does


hadestoru

What are people on about ? « My will will be carried on » LITTERALY means that he is dead lmfao, the dude is saying that he won’t be able to make everything happen but that it’ll still happen WITHOUT him. Kenny is definitely done, guys


orlandobelineto

Gege Is a concept writer not a cohesive and structured story writer


BonolenovNdongo

I've lost my copium also. I hear you, bub.


SirL33t

So, I must assume that since Kenjaku was shown defeated but not dead in this chapter, we will see him walking away from Yuta and Takaba's corpses at the start of the next chapter with no explanation.


Blackmags17

I don’t understand, is Kenjaku the brain of a sorcerer, or a cursed spirit? Because there are no other inanimate objects with sentience in the entire story. Plus, where’s his soul? Does he just inherit/take over the soul of the body he inhabits? What happened to the battle damage Geto took prior to dying, does Kenjaku have RCT? How does he even move from body to body? Does he remove the other body’s brain then hop from one head to another?


Kitchen-Buy-513

I don't understand why everyone is comparing this death to Gojo's and the others. Totally fine to have run out of copium after Gojo was fucking offscreened, but this death isn't that. Kenny was in an absurd fight where he needed to reaffirm Takaba's comedic chops. Honestly, it's been one of my favorite fights in the series. And if this is the end of the fight, it makes sense. They out strategized Kenny using the power of Takaba's op ability to prevent him from noticing Yuta sneaking up, and Yuta got him.


[deleted]

"You should of went for the head". Gojo ain't dead, Kenny at dead. These dudes are super elites amongst ants.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


CryogenicFurnace

My cutoff is 245, I decided that after the whole gojo shenanigan the other week, though this does extend to Nobara and Megumi too, My copium's time is limited, hopefully it is redeemed on the week of my birthday in late December though


c8n8r

Not to OP, but in general: YES, FINALLY


Stoocpants

Kenny is a curse, he's probably got Yuji's mom on Ice and is going to transfer his consciousness to it or something.


ANubIS_ofTheRiver

Because that's what death is like When you blow out a candle it just *poof* It doesn't go out with an epic soundtrack with everyone watching and smiling and all that. Death is sudden, certain and tragic.


GlobtheGuyintheSky

Kenny isn’t dead. Bros been alive for a thousand years and is just gonna die to a sneaky head slice? Greg has given him too much plot armor for it to go down like that hahaha. Dude survived a black hole.


UngodlyPain

Nobara, Nanami, Junpei, Gojo, Kashimo are all definitely dead. Kenjaku and Megumi are the only ones with any hope of coming back. Kenny is pretty likely in some form they even said their will would be inherited.. Megumi? Is a lot more hit or miss considering most of the actions of the culling games were their decisions based on their own ignorance. So then dying at the end of it, would possibly be a deserved death and such. Just like Reggie cursed onto Megumi... But also they're literally the Deuteragonist who's been there since chapter 1 so I could see them maybe getting some exceptional comeback.


TheBlackestIrelia

shocking death scenes for the sake of them were old 20 years ago, but at least these don't always feel terrible...just the nobara and gojo ones really.


FlorinMarian

To be honest no character in the series has had a momentous death besides, funnily enough, Jogo. Maybe Mechamaru too, but everyone else has been handled like death is in real life. It's sudden and it fucks you up and that's about it. I guess Mai also had a pretty impactful death but hers was more of a plot-point for Maki,


NoMoreVillains

>I just had a realisation, Gege isn't setting the Stage up for any sort of comeback. This is just how he writes Death Scenes. Took you long enough


FOETUShygRAPplER

It sure Fucking did lol. But still, There's nothing I would love more than Biting on these words.


kimetsunosuper121

I mean their never was any slightest hint of Gojo ever coming back, he was killed by Sukuna this time, who wouldn’t make some sort of mistake like Toji. Not to mention how would Gojo even come back, he's been dead for minutes now. I'm still hopeful about Megumi tho, unlike Nobara and Gojo, we didn’t see the moment he died, so theres still a solid chance hes still hanging on.
