The Ultimate Clash: The Hidden Truth Behind Kenjaku's Sinister Plan and Gojo's Imperiled Existence

Highlights

With Gojo's apparent death, the series faces the challenge of addressing the significant absence of such a crucial character and the impact it will have on the story.

Kenjaku, the nefarious mastermind, has devious intentions of constructing a novel universe evocative of the glorious era of magic. To accomplish this, he aims to fuse himself with Tengen.

Endowed with the capability to seize control of other individuals' bodies, Kenjaku acquires their memories and skills. If he were to seize control of Gojo's body, he would amass tremendous power and become the paramount antagonist in the series.

Jujutsu Kaisen has provided immense enjoyment to fans in recent months. The highly anticipated showdown between Gojo and Sukuna, the King of Curses, brought excitement to fans. The fight lived up to expectations, except for the shocking twist at the end. Sukuna inexplicably managed to kill Gojo, leading to the demise of the most powerful sorcerer in the modern era.

As Gojo's downfall unfolded, fans became aware of the need to address various aspects of the series. Gojo's character holds great significance, leaving three potential paths for his future. Firstly, he could remain dead, though this would create noticeable gaps in the story. The second possibility is his resurrection, which is highly feasible. However, there is also the intriguing prospect of Kenjaku taking control of Gojo's body.

Kenjaku's Plan

Kenjaku, one of the prominent antagonists in Jujutsu Kaisen, is a mastermind who operates in the shadows. His influence surpasses even that of Sukuna, making him a formidable villain. Unlike Sukuna, who revels in combat, Kenjaku aspires for something greater. He aims to recreate a world reminiscent of the Golden Age of Sorcery, and to achieve this, he plans to merge with Tengen. This union would plunge the world into complete chaos, much like the recent events in Shibuya.

Kenjaku has meticulously laid the groundwork for his plan, with a significant breakthrough occurring when he inhabited the body of Geto Suguru. By employing Cursed Spirit Manipulation, he acquired the abilities of Mahito and gained control over Idle Transfiguration. However, his ambitions extend beyond this point. As the story unfolds, Kenjaku has even more sinister intentions waiting to be realized.

Kenjaku's Many Bodies

Kenjaku, an ancient sorcerer, possesses a cursed technique that enables him to inhabit and control another person's body, essentially becoming their consciousness and gaining access to their memories. This ability also grants him mastery over various forms of Jujutsuhi. Throughout centuries, he has utilized multiple bodies to their fullest potential.

Among these hosts, some truly leave an impression. The first and most well-known is Noritoshi Kamo, a prominent figure within the Kamo Clan who was believed to bring disgrace upon his family. However, unbeknownst to all, it was Kenjaku himself who lurked within Kamo, manipulating his actions for an extensive period before moving on to another vessel.

How Kenjaku Can Take Over Gojo's Body

Kenjaku once inhabited the body of Kaori Itadori, Yuji's mother, and even gave birth to Yuji himself. Afterward, it remains unclear whose body he occupied. Nevertheless, he ultimately found his way into the body of Suguru. This occurred after the Night Parade of a 100 Demons, during which Gojo killed Suguru, but left his body intact. This provided an opportunity for Kenjaku to take over. Since then, he has resided in this body, gaining access to its every memory, as well as all its cursed techniques and abilities.

Kenjaku has the ability to possess Gojo's body as long as it is not completely destroyed. He appears as a brain with teeth and can potentially enter and replace the host's brain when the top of the skull is removed. Although Gojo's body has been bisected, it is still suitable for Kenjaku to inhabit. However, it is unlikely that he would choose to do so in broad daylight on the battlefield, but there is a high chance of it occurring.

Kenjaku's Promise To Sukuna

Currently, he has access to Suguru's body, and though powerful, it pales in comparison to Gojo's formidable physique. Undoubtedly, Gojo stands as one of the strongest individuals globally, arguably even the strongest, despite his defeat against Sukuna. It should be acknowledged that Sukuna received significant assistance, particularly from Megumi and his 10 Shadows Technique, during their encounter. In a fair one-on-one confrontation, Gojo could very well have emerged triumphant. For Kenjaku to disregard this opportunity would be incredibly foolish. Seizing the chance to possess the body of the mightiest sorcerer is something he is certainly not going to overlook. With a body like Gojo's, he can manifest his every ambition and transport the world back to the era he deeply yearns for – the Golden Age of Sorcery.

Before the showdown between Sukuna and Gojo commenced, an intriguing event unfolded. Kenjaku approached Sukuna and requested a favor, the specifics of which remain undisclosed. Considering Kenjaku's desires, it seems improbable that he sought anything trivial from Sukuna. Speculation suggests that the favor involved Sukuna yielding his body if he managed to defeat Gojo, allowing them to collaborate and pursue their respective ambitions. Impressively, Sukuna has fulfilled this promise meticulously. By eliminating Gojo but preserving his upper half, Sukuna has presented Kenjaku with an extraordinary opportunity to seize control of the most powerful contemporary sorcerer's physique. Now, it falls upon Kenjaku to seize this chance and claim dominion over Gojo's body.

If that occurs, Kenjaku will gain access to Six Eyes, and he has a troublesome history with Six Eyes users. In the past, he has been defeated twice by Six Eyes users and even killed others at birth due to his intense fear of it. To possess his greatest enemy as a weapon would be absolutely advantageous for him. Additionally, he would also acquire the most powerful cursed technique of all time, Limitless. Furthermore, he would obtain a body that allows him to utilize the unmatched power of Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void. Undoubtedly, this presents a rare opportunity for Kenjaku, and it is highly probable that he will seize it by taking over Gojo's body, becoming the most formidable villain ever witnessed in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen can be read officially and for free by fans through Viz Media, Shonen Jump, and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the upcoming chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 237, is scheduled for October 1, 2023.
