Despite Kenjaku's brutal attack on the young sorcerer and boasting about Geto’s Cursed Spirit Manipulation, Yuji is determined to rescue Gojo from the villain's grasp. As Mahito tries to take advantage of Kenjaku's distraction, he also realizes that Kenjaku had lied about Gojo's refusal to leave Shibuya after being sealed. Ultimately, Kenjaku absorbs Mahito and shares his goals with Yuji.
Kenjaku's plan to fully unleash Geto's "Uzumaki" using semi-grade 1 curses is foiled when he is unexpectedly attacked by Kyoto students. Miwa makes a Binding Vow to gain immense strength, but her sacrifice is in vain as Kenjaku effortlessly shatters her sword.
Kusakabe and other sorcerers join the fight against the villain, with Choso also stepping in and realizing Kenjaku's true identity as Noritoshi Kamo, a centuries-old stain on the Kamo Clan responsible for numerous atrocities. Choso is enraged at Kenjaku's attempt to kill his younger brother, Yuji. In his desperate bid to protect Yuji, Choso faces off against Uraume, Sukuna's loyal servant.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Season 2 Episode 22. The latest episode left us with a thrilling cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I am particularly excited to see how Yuji will fare against Kenjaku, the guardian of the Prison Realm where Satoru Gojo is sealed. Will he be able to rescue his sensei, or will Kenjaku prove to be too powerful?
I am also intrigued by the character development of Aoi Todo. Despite nearly losing his life battling Mahito, he continues to offer his unwavering support to Yuji and assists in the defeat of the villain. It will be interesting to see how his sacrifice will impact his future battles and how he will continue to support Yuji in the face of new challenges. Overall, I am confident that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 22 will be an exciting and action-packed episode that will keep me on the edge of my seat.
