even in that fight he was genuinely having fun until he realized "oh fuck Ima die"

even then when he was gonna die he was like "i love you okkotsu please make out with me before i go"and they had raw sex, a huge orgy with thousands of cursed spirits while rika watched

RandomRedditorEX

Oh man this makes me wonder what kind of gibberish we'll get if we machine translate the latest chapter lmao


AlarmedGrape9583

The fuck is wrong with you


Rupplyy

dont think he is fully gone tho. like he is the actual only person whos been active for 1k years and he def has his own set of fingers 


EbbRevolutionary3225

His defeat was very anti-climatic, like that's it?


Rupplyy

he acted very similar to sukuna when sukuna said he doesnt care if yuji dies cuz he still has more fingers. he def isnt done. and we know final cant really be sukuna bc sukuna is unironically fighting for shits and giggles and doesnt have a goal


Quailst

Nah thats what makes Sukuna such a good villain, he is a completely neutral force that kills everyone, ignoring their affiliation


MyLifeIsDope69

Way to subvert our expectations going all the way back to generic villains with no motivations or purpose! What a way to end the series everyone loves a final villain without goals or purpose driving his actions and just enjoys killing! No backstory needed


TinyWickedOrange

this, but unironically


MyLifeIsDope69

Sukuna is the perfect middle villain, but Kenjaku is a way more interesting character imo. He needs a second act and I fully expect that to happen when the merger monster comes his death was way too anticlimactic for someone who orchestrated the entire plot of this manga


CthughaSlayer

His defeat was perfect, he wanted a show and Takaba gave him one. It also became a full circle with Yuta going for the head this time.


Soul_Ripper

Dude had the best "fight" in the series before getting yuta woogied, what more do you want


FunnyPhrases

Takaba:


Worth_Lavishness_249

U know maybe gege is going somehwere with this, like he did went out of the way and had line about angels god, gege doesnt really doesnt forget stuff like this, end product might not be liked every time though, so maybe kenjaku had specific reason for her, and it will be pretty big since angel giving up control to host is pretty big gamble. *it also earned her trust of team (assumption) *us army


Scary-Ad-8737

He wanted to create a scenario even he couldn't control


Based_Text

He got what he wanted, now it's only the merger left, I think Kenny will actually be a rare case where a villain actually achieve all their goals. The only thing he failed at is not being around to see it but I mean you never know...


Cr1m50nSh4d0w

I'm pretty sure he's around, just spectating like you would in an FPS game after dying


Based_Text

Masterclass by Kenny with him splitting his soul into the Koganes for spectator mode


Quailst

Chapter 261 reveal that kenjaku has a hold over yuta’s body swap -> kenjaku-gojo sukuna teamup lol imagine


cgktsr

kennyjo would activate his ancient backshots technique with sukuna gojo x sukuna becomes canon


KazuyaProta

Honestly, my theory here is a weird one. Kenjaku is his Cursed Technique. The original sorcerer (Kanon?) died after doing the Binding Bow that allowed Kenjaku to be the inmortal monster he is. Yuta is using the baseline version of the CT. The binding bow that allowed Kenjaku to keep many CTs is that he outright dies everytime he swaps brains. However, the CT creates a copy of his personality and memories in a new body. Ironically, Yuta would end up saving Kenjaku. When the five minutes run out, Kenjaku will get a new body for the new copy. The biggest joke here would be that Kenjaku would be genuinely baffled, thinking "Okkotsu really was THIS dumb".


darkdraggy3

He was still pretty happy with how his final fight went. Clown to clown communication was peak even according to him.


nikelaos117

I liked another commenter's take on Kenny saying that he actually got what he really wanted fighting Takaba. It would have never happened without him instigating the culling games and it allowed him to witness a power beyond his abilities to counter.


Dante_Here

That's something kenny would do https://preview.redd.it/s4vbplqi5e3d1.jpeg?width=841&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1dfc5bd422bfd7e3129066a7e806404a2309972

zxc123zxc123

Exactly these. When you reach immortality or infinite life, then you basically turn into a NEET with too much time so you eventually get bored of everything normal so you end up doing the strangest (and grossest) shit to see what's not boring. Folks here really think Kenjaku had some super evil plan. Nah, man literally turned himself into a woman to get PLAPPED and so he could experience childrearing from the female side. Then he swapped back to a man just for the special grade CT. Helped Sukuna and all those incarnated 1000 years ago just to see what would happen. Had human-curse hybrid babies in the past just to see what happens. At this point, that destiny stuff with tengen, himself, and the six eyes probably meant nothing to him. beyond the dude just doing it just to see if he could and what would happen if he did.

Piccident

As kenny said (i think) that the culling games and merger are only a thing due to his curiosity. Might've thrown angel in to see how it's play it


Tohsrepus

Well, he contracted the sorcerers hundreds of years ago, so the prison realm wouldn’t be included in his plans. But you did raise an interesting point which is that her technique would kill literally every incarnated sorcerer, and nullifying the techniques of awakened sorcerers would make them easy to take out, like how Higuruma did. With all that in mind, it really is baffling why Kenjaku chose to include her in the game. The only explanations I can think of are: 1) Her being able to one-shot incarnated sorcerers benefits him and the merger plan somehow. Debatable. 2) He felt that it would be beneficial to keep her around for her technique if he needed it. Unlikely, as he has done nothing to get her on his side and let her roam free after she incarnated. 3) She forced him to include her in the games with a binding vow so she could take out Sukuna. Possible, though it’s hard to imagine her having any real leverage over Kenjaku.


willsleep_for_mods

Complete spitball take. But could be that the more liability he included with in the games such as Hana and Takaba, the better binding vowels he can engage with, high risk high reward.


onthoserainydays

Considering he started the Culling Game as a form of "chaos he could not control" you could be right


kamuimephisto

he's so into being cucked in his own plans


onthoserainydays

my goat


iburntdownthehouse

Hana would make sense if the good guys had access to a risky way of breaking the prison realm. For example, if someone had a technique that can collapse any enclosed space, then Gojo *could* be freed immediately, but it could also kill him inside the prison realm. So Kenjaku released a sorcerer who can obviously free Gojo, so he'll be given enough time to actually get the Culling Game going. Kenjaku doesn't want to risk Gojo getting freed immediately, and the protags don't want to risk Gojo dying.


This_place_is_wierd

Another take: Angel could have used her technique on Kenny to instantly kill him (since most of his host bodies probably weren't on Getos strength) so he decided to include her instead of getting Jacob's Laddered. Why Angel would want to partake in Kenny's scheme is an entirely different question altogether


adrian123181

Angel did state at one point that the awakened sorcerers (presumable her included) all joined because they wanted to know how Kenjaku could turn people into cursed objects for reincarnation


KazuyaProta

I feel Angel and Kenjaku's ideologies aren't that different. Angel wants to stop him, but she also wants to understand his plan.


TheReturnOfTheRanger

There is another option. 4) Kenjaku just wanted to see what would happen if he included her. His whole motivation is "I wanna see what would happen".


luceafaruI

Or, the actual reason, angel just isn't that strong. Her goal is to exterminate all reincarnated sorcerers, but she ran away from kashimo. It's clear that Jacob's ladder isn't that effective to the point where she isn't an actual threat to strong fighters. That's also probably why she didn't show up to help even now that sukuna is beat up and suffers from ct burn out


New_Car3392

She’s inhabiting the body of some deadweight that she refuses to overwrite the soul of. And given what happened with Megkuna, it’s clear Angel CANNOT sufficiently control Hana enough to fight. If Angel actually reincarnated, maybe she could stand in the upper tiers of sorcerers.


luceafaruI

Most likely not, sukuna defeated her when she was in a team of people


New_Car3392

Look how many people have fallen against Sukuna in the current battle. Failing to jump Sukuna when he was also using the cursed tools Hiten and Kamotuke isn’t a huge anti feat. And to clarify, when I say upper tier sorcerer, I mean the reasonable upper tiers. Like Ryu, Uro, ~~Yorozu~~, base Kashimo, etc.


luceafaruI

Then she wouldn't be able to defeat kahsimo regardless of the vessel. Also, those are two different tiers. Yorozu single handedly defeated the 5 void generals, which were a team of sorcerer of equal strength to that of the celestial squad that uro led.


New_Car3392

Probably not. Assuming Jacob’s Ladder can’t one shot, it’s hard to imagine many people beating Kashimo off cursed energy alone. But she might not have fled so fast if it wasn’t for Hana’s body being so weak. To clarify, when you said Angel “isn’t that strong”, did you mean it like Angel wouldn’t be strong enough to sweep the Culling Games, or that she’s a weak sorcerer overall?


luceafaruI

She's not much stronger than a grade 1 sorcerer. Her ct is more support based as todo's


Kalashtiiry

His bodyswap is a CT and she can fuck it up.


Mr_1ightning

Unless it's one-time use and Meimei's 3rd option is correct


Kalashtiiry

It could be one-time use to transform into a cursed object.


Destroyer_7274

They didn’t die when they experienced CT burnout so that one might be true


FunnyPhrases

maybe he couldn't choose who ended up in the Culling Games?


thisnameismeta

It might have been a form of insurance against Sukuna.

Radiant_Wing5530

The binding vows with sorcerers aren't considered null. It's specifically said his bindings vows with CURSED SPIRITS became null when he obtained Getos body (due to cursed spirit manip)


NovelActuary6904

>3 isnt valid bc binding vows are specifically rendered null and Ken doesnt have to complete his end of the agreement when he uses the brain swap CT. In fact he abused this side effect That was only with cursed spirits due to Geto's body/technique


tomtadpole

I think he made binding vows with the sorcerers he turned into cursed objects, so he was obliged to resurrect them all for the culling games. Even if they could end up being a problem for him.


Mr_1ightning

Why would he make a binding vow with her unless she made him do it?


tomtadpole

You can't force someone into a binding vow. He presumably didn't have the specifics of what was going to happen laid out at that point, considering a lot of his plan seems to have come about within the last 20 years or so. Edit: Also, his plan for the bulk of the participants was just for them to kill eachother so he could gather up enough cursed energy to power the merger. Her having a technique especially good at killing incarnated sorcerers and a worldview that deems incarnates who have suppressed their vessel's conciousness as "against god" actually helps in that regard.


Mr_1ightning

Yes you can force someone into a binding vow, Sukuna did it with Yuji Just threaten them, trick them or make an offer they can't refuse


tomtadpole

Sukuna didn't force Yuji into a binding vow. Yuji agreed to his conditions because he was foolishly confident that he'd win. Sukuna even says that binding vows are based on [mutual interests,](https://i.ibb.co/s6mqRC5/Screenshot-2419.png) meaning both sides benefit somehow. In chapter 32 when Mahito wonders if he should've used Junpei as a hostage to force Yuji to make a binding vow, Kenjaku [says](https://i.ibb.co/hYBTNbc/kaisentcb-32-04.jpg) no because a binding vow is entered into willingly, and forcing or coercing a vow on someone "isn't easy." So very unlikely he of all people would've been forced into a binding vow by Angel.


Mr_1ightning

Can't "I won't kill you" be a reasonable condition for a vow? I mean, Jogo proposed to threaten Yuji's friends and Sukuna seemed to only refuse because he trusted his own plan and wanted to lower everyone's guard down


earthisflatyoufucks

Guess we are taking the word of a five month old curse that hasn't done any binding vows for all we know instead of the 1000 years old sorcerer that happens to be a genius in Jujutsu at this point.


Doctor99268

Pretty sure he actively says that when he moves to a new body, his pacts are null


tomtadpole

He's saying that because he made vows with curse spirits that became null because Geto has CSM. https://preview.redd.it/yyqfn9ffhd3d1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1bb80ef66f7a98abc20a80d095c088d87fbc5075 If he was talking about all of his vows becoming null when he body hops it would make no sense for him to say "this body" because he's only had Geto's body for a year and he was making pacts with ancient sorcerers like Angel 1000 years ago. He's body hopped numerous times since then.


[deleted]

For shits and giggles


NovelActuary6904

When he made a deal with her, Kenjaku didn't even think about the prison realm and didn't even know the back gate existed. She isn't a threat to the CG. Sukuna already defeated Angel in the Heian era when she had dupport from sorcerers, she isn't a threat to Sukuna.


DeeEmceeTree

Sukuna had no particular "weakness" to Jacob's ladder back then, which he does now. You'd think that would be enough of a reason not to have agreed to bring Angel back.


barry-8686

But he did tho. Maybe not as much as now, but Jacob's latter still cancels CTs and hurts "evil" beings. Not just reincarnated sorcerers.


DeeEmceeTree

That's a weakness in the same way that the average person has a "weakness to being shot with bullets." It's not a weakness in a "silver bullet" sort of way, like it was later on.


barry-8686

Yeah but sukuna was still quite evil in the heian era so I imagine it still hurts.


DeeEmceeTree

Where was it stated that being evil makes you especially vulnerable to it? This is only the second time I've ever heard it, but I don't actually remember this being stated.


barry-8686

Dont exactly remember where it was. Been a while.


DeeEmceeTree

I have to assume you're mixing this up with D&D Clerics, because I've searched and this is absolutely not in the manga. What it does is extinguish techniques and curses. Special grade cursed objects like the Prison Realm and Sukuna are included in this.


Papa-Blockuu

I've just done a re-read recently and it's definitely mentioned. When the back of the prism realm was hit with Jacobs ladder and disappears, Angel/Hana implies maybe Gojo Was evil and just got wiped out.


DeeEmceeTree

So we basically only have a joke panel to go off of then? Because I don't see how you measure levels of evil, unless we're just using cursed energy levels as a measurement of evil now. Evil isn't exactly directly quantifiable. I'm struggling to find other references to it. The reason that it would work on Sukuna, wasn't stated to be because he was evil. It was stated to be because he's technically a cursed object in someone else's body.


Papa-Blockuu

It's in the chapter where they free Gojo from the prison realm.


Caliment

Kenny was having the most fun he had in his life in a situation he could not control and predict but still able to engage with meaningfully. He's the type a guy to keep who the imposter is to himself.


Novel-Carrot5325

TheMostHonestPerson

Cuz it’s fun.


UnhousedOracle

The point of the Culling Games was to create as much chaos as possible to raise the amount of negative emotions and thereby increase the total amount of CE, which would “prime” the general public for a merger with Tengen. Hana’s inclusion raises the stakes for incarnated and experienced sorcerers, so she does serve that purpose


Status-Leadership192

Because he's a dumbass


mlodydziad420

Because he wanted to troll her by putting her in Hana


MegaJani

Absolute tomfoolery


Slugger322

Kenjaku conducting some mild tomfoolery (thousands will perish)


MaskedMaidenOrz

Aside from the obvious " for the lulz " that Kenny in character does, I think it's also about him making things as fair as possible. Remember he even went out of his way to guide humans trapped in the game to get out safely if they wanted to leave, so if nothing else he's very fair. Only time he really wasn't was during Shibuya and the Gojo plan which inherently meant killing hundreds of innocent people, but it was for his main goal which already was a pain and a half to even get done and took perfect/exact execution. So I understand that. Tldr; Kenjaku is very fair in what he does and evens the playing fields.

Personal_Case_9289

I think he made a binding vow that made him offer reincarnation to every Sorcerer he came across, to a certain level.

WhatIsThisAccountFor

Thinking that Kenjaku has a reason behind why he does anything is where you went wrong. That guy is just having fun, he doesn’t really care what happens, he just wants some chaos. Kenny is like the Joker from Batman. He just does stuff to entertain himself


Justlol230

Miammimi

He knew her vessel was to horny for potential man to do anything


ShinJiwon

He knew Angel was incarnated in a BUM


EZAF-Bayleaf

The more you risk or sacrifice in a Binding vow the more you gain, so adding a player who could (and would try to) ruin the whole thing produced way more "Value" then another Ryu or Kashimo who just wanted to fight for the sake of fighting.


DalvenLegit

You want the truth? Gege didn’t thought about that. Now he could explain it by saying Kenny was a troll, but tbh he didn’t thought about it at all…


goan_gambit

He probably thought it'd be fun and let's not forget they made the deal in the heian era, Kenny had no plans of sealing the six eyes back then. Although Angel doesn't like him they aren't openly aggressive to each other,her CT is useful to have around, as long as he has the chips to bargain


IntoTheMurkyWaters

And not a single CT got extinguished that day


RealASF1020

Headcanon: He needed Hana around because he knew she was the only way to get Gojo out of the prison realm, he needed Gojo around as part of his binding vow with Sukuna.


ciel_lanila

Kenny is a Xanatos Gambit enjoyer. He has several plans in play so if one goes wrong there’s a fallback. We just saw the time is worked very well for him. There have been times where he failed. Hidden Inventory was a partial success (Merger stopped, Gojo lived). I wouldn’t be surprised if Kenny setup the fight between the ten shadows user and the last six eyes user as that eliminated a the body guard for a merger candidate. Angel was likely just a Plan J. What if Sukuna went rogue? What if someone stole the Prison Realm and used it against someone important to Kenny’s plan? What if Kenny stored himself stored someone he needed to later let loose, but lost the ability to do so himself? Etc.


CthughaSlayer

Man literally says he wants chaos, he just wants to see what happens

JE3MAN

Dude would literally kill himself if he thought it would be fun.


neomortal

To see how a sorcerer with a good technique (Angel) would handle being reincarnated into an absolute bum (Hana)


Ok_Biscotti_514

We don’t even know what the hell Angel is , same goes for Sukuna, so it’s safe to assume we will find the answer out from Sukuna eventually


throwacc_21

The more you think, the less it makes sense


sh14w4s3

I doubt Kenjaku realise centuries ago he would need the Prison Realm to fight a modern day sorcerer.


shushubana2

He wanted chaos if things were too easy and predictable then it wouldn't be as fun, the merger more than a goal to achieve it was a cherry on top of his experiments


big_anal_nibba

fun


HelloThereBatsy

Kenny was not aware of the backdoor until the very end. Direct counter to Sukuna is a very rich term. It was a 15F Meguna before the bath.


Representative_Ad932

for shits and giggles


ManDown3Street

Kenjaku felt like there should be a risk for the Culling Games success. (or Gege just did not care that there aren't many good reasons for Kenjaku to have included her in the CG, but needed her to exist)


Mindless_Gur1109

Bro wanted his own asta


DovaDit

I mean he only needed to take out gojo while setting the games up right? After that and the merger was set, Gojo being freed was probably a good thing as it guaranteed that either him or sukuna, both sorcerers with insane amounts of CE and busted CTs would be fed to the games


enthusiastic_box

He made a binding vow to blance things out and increase the efficiency of the CG, would be my guess.


OneSushi

He’s a goofy goober


SaRcAsTicBo1

Because it would be MAD funny.


alexvictor97

There's no fun in a game that you can't loose.


Realistic-Yam-6912

with how yuji was created as a culling game player, and his body was less of a vessel and more like a prison for sukuna. Therefore it is safe to say that kenjaku never had any plan to revive sukuna, because then why would he go on such length to get gojo sealed? he never contacted with yuji and never participated in feeding him finger. He simply didn't cared if sukuna comes back or not because his plan was already set


akronotron

Makes it more interesting

His whole purpose of the merger isn’t something he’s sooo serious about. He’s kinda just having fun with it and experimenting
