- Q:Geto'sAfter death, what should be done to prevent Pseudo-Geto from occupying the body?
A:GojoCremate it on the spot.
- Q: Why not heal the scar on the forehead?
A: That is a "Binding Vow." However, he can indeed use the Reverse Cursed Technique.
- Q: Is the "brain" in the head the true form?
A: The brain is the part of the flesh occupyingGeto'sthe body,Curse Userand ordinary people can see it too. That is his technique for switching bodies, just likeOrochimaruthat. He can simultaneously possess his own technique and the technique inherent to the body he occupies. Normally, the original body's technique would disappear during the switch, but he has taken certain measures.
- Q: Do the cursed spirits know that Pseudo-Geto is an existence that has occupiedGeto'sthe body?
A: They don't know; they simply treat him as a sorcerer who knows a lot. However,Choso,...it will be explained in detail later.
- Q: He seems to look down on the cursed spirits he's allied with from the bottom of his heart; haven't the cursed spirits noticed this?
A: The feeling is mutual; in the end, it's just a business relationship.
A: He can win in a one-on-one duel. However, fighting against Jogo or Mahito would likely be quite difficult.
- Q: Did he never think about occupyingGojo SatoruorToji Fushiguro's body?
A: Gojo is impossible, simply because he cannot be killed; although he could occupy Toji, during the transfer, Toji'sHeavenly Restrictionmight conflict with his own Cursed Technique and cause a "bug." Furthermore, there wouldn't be much point in occupying either of them.
History
During the Shibuya Incident, he sealed the isolated Satoru Gojo with the Prison Realm and summoned the Special Grade Disease Cursed Spirit "Smallpox Hag" to fight againstMei MeiandUi Uithe two siblings. After Mahito was defeated by Yuji Itadori, he took the opportunity to heavily injure Yuji and absorbed Mahito using Cursed Spirit Manipulation; later, he engaged in a fierce battle with Panda, Kusakabe, and the Kyoto Branch members who came to support Yuji, and throughChoso,The true identity of Kenjaku's brain is Noritoshi Kamo, known as the worst sorcerer in history and the shame of the Kamo family, though according to Kenjaku, Noritoshi Kamo is just one of his many names. toUraumeTogether they pushed Itadori's group into a corner, and at the critical moment, the Special Grade SorcererYuki Tsukumoarrived at the battlefield to save everyone. He then had a conversation with Yuki Tsukumo, revealing his true purpose to the sorcerers. Kenjaku used Mahito's technique, Idle Transfiguration, to alter the brains of two types of non-sorcerers he had marked: those like Itadori who had absorbed cursed objects, and those like Junpei who possessed a technique but had the brain structure of a non-sorcerer. Kenjaku altered their brains, enhancing the former's strength as vessels and granting the latter the means to activate their techniques. Furthermore,Megumi FushiguroThe older sisterTsumiki FushiguroIn the hospital, she was also affected by Kenjaku's technique, and a mark appeared on her forehead. Kenjaku also released the seals on the cursed objects, signaling the arrival of a world where cursed energy flourishes. In an instant, a large number of ancient cursed spirits appeared and surrounded everyone, while Kenjaku left the scene with the Prison Realm containing the sealed Satoru Gojo. After the conclusion of the Shibuya Incident, on November 2nd, under Kenjaku's covert manipulation, the Jujutsu Headquarters, which was in collusion with him, issued five major notices, including the confirmation of the fact that Suguru Geto was alive(mistaking the fake Geto for the real one), sentenced him to death once again, and used this as a pretext to begin a purge against the Gojo faction.
From the early hours of November 1st until 6:00 AM, due to the binding vows established for the Culling Game, he had to lead Sasaki and Iguchi, who were in the Occult Research Club with Yuji Itadori, out of the Culling Game barrier, and thanked Sasaki for becoming friends with his son. At 6:00 PM, the formation and layout of each barrier were completed. He orchestrated a battle royale for those granted cursed techniques called the "Culling Game," whose participants includedMegumi FushiguroThe older sisterTsumiki FushiguroIn reality, he had used the cursed object of the ancient Heian-era sorcerer "Yorozu" to cause Tsumiki to fall into a coma at Yasohachi Bridge and be hospitalized; he then activated "Idle Transfiguration" to transform Tsumiki into a reincarnated sorcerer, allowing Yorozu to awaken and participate in the "Culling Game."。 On November 3rd at 23:05, it was discovered byNoritoshi Kamothat Kenjaku had seized and regained control of the Kamo family under the name "Noritoshi Kamo" and had taken overNoritoshi Kamo...the status as the adopted heir of the main family, and banished him from the Kamo family under the pretext of not wanting the Kamo family to be stained with blood. On November 9th, when Itadori and the others metTengen, Tengen revealed his true name as Kenjaku, a sorcerer who once inhabited the body of Noritoshi Kamo and is now inhabiting the body of Suguru Geto. The goal of his evolutionary methods is to merge all of humanity with Tengen, and the so-called "Culling Game" is merely a rehearsal before the merger. On November 14th, Kenjaku and Uraume arrived at the punishment room in the ruins of the Zen'in estate, let the cursed object consume Zen'in Ogi's corpse, and began preparing for the "Bath." At 0:00 on November 16, he appeared within Tengen's barrier. Before the battle began, he informed Choso of his purpose for holding the Culling Game. After successively defeating Choso and Yuki Tsukumo, he took control of Tengen. In the afternoon, he and Uraume picked up Ryomen Sukuna, who had taken over Megumi Fushiguro's body, and went to the punishment room at the Zen'in estate ruins, witnessing Sukuna's incarnation ritual, "The Bath." Between November 16 and 18, he used a taxi to collect the points transferred by Sukuna after taking over Megumi Fushiguro, and sent Sukuna to Sendai where Yorozu, an ancient sorcerer possessing Tsumiki Fushiguro, was waiting. After absorbing Tengen, he learned about "Prison Realm: Back" and personally used the "Anti-Gravity System" to jump into the deepest part of the Japan Trench, over 8,000 meters deep, throwing the Prison Realm into the subduction zone of the tectonic plates and sealing some cursed spirits within the heavy layers of seals to act as sensors. On November 18, Kenjaku's goal of using the Culling Game barriers for pre-merger rehearsal and energy charging was achieved. Subsequently, he spoke with the Culling Game NPC Kogane, explaining his function and coercing it into terminating the game. He bargained with Kogane by exploiting bugs and threatening Tengen, forcing the addition of the 13th and 14th General Rules as binding vows for initiating the Great Merger to create uncontrollable chaos, and found Sukuna's mummified remains (Sokushinbutsu). On November 19, after learning of the changes to Prison Realm: Back, he met with the newly unsealed Satoru Gojo and, upon Sukuna's arrival, agreed on a date for the final battle with Gojo.December 24, Christmas Eve, the anniversary of Suguru Geto's death.. Afterward, he delivered the mummified remains to Sukuna, allowing Sukuna to barely recover to the strength of 20 fingers. Due to Gojo being unsealed, he had to stay near Sukuna and Uraume to avoid the risk of being discovered and killed by Gojo if he acted alone.
During the battle between Gojo and Sukuna, Kenjaku began his operation to hunt down the remaining players of the Culling Game, setting up a large number of cursed spirit alarm devices to monitor Jujutsu High's side and prevent any sneak attacks. He then fought his way to the Iwate barrier, where he encountered and killed Hazenoki. At the same time as learning the news of Satoru Gojo's defeat,Fumihiko Takabaarriving at the scene, Takaba initially held the upper hand in the battle against KenjAbstract Kaisen Gag Manga, satisfying his desire for comedy, and he stated that he hadn't been this happy in hundreds of years. At this moment, Takaba's technique underwent burnout and deactivated because his comedic desire was satisfied; he put on a burial shroud and lay on the ground, waiting for death. But just then, Yuta Okkotsu, who didn't mourn Takaba's defeat for even a moment, suddenly arrived on the battlefield. With a swift strike, before Kenjaku could react and activate his technique, and with the help of Aoi Todo's "Boogie Woogie: Revised" (mentioned in Chapter 269) hiding in the shadows, he quickly moved behind him and decapitated him.Yuta: That's for saying I have no charmKenjaku, whom two Special Grades couldn't defeat even by teaming up, was decapitated by Yuta's sneak attack in one stroke, showing a clear breakdown in power scaling As Kenjaku's head fell, the countless cursed spirits stored within Suguru Geto's body instantly went out of control, surging out like a tide. While Yuta and Rika were clearing the cursed spirits, Kenjaku's severed head was carried into the air by another cursed spirit. He stated that someone would inherit his will—and unexpectedly, that person wasRyomen Sukuna. Kenjaku summoned a Kogane and added the 15th rule: "Megumi FushiguroSukunahas the authority to activate the merger between Tengen and humanity." It turns out Kenjaku had already completed a succession ritual with Sukuna; now, he only needed to replace all participants of the merger ritual within the Culling Game, which served as the foundation, to achieve his goal. In the final moments of his life, Kenjaku controlled a cursed spirit to launch the absorbed Tengen toward Sukuna's location.However, Sukuna had no interest in Kenjaku's scheme at all, only treating this entrustment as an opportunity to threaten the Jujutsu High side into throwing themselves into the fray one after another. The Special Grade Curse User who laid out a grand plan for centuries just for the sake of enjoyment ended his sinful life under the blade of the God of Pure Love.Did Gege forget that Kenjaku didn't even manage to bring out the giant chaotic Cursed Spirit he intended to create by hand? |

Self
- Unknown Cursed Technique
-
- Kenjaku has a cursed technique that allows him to swap bodies by transplanting his brain. Through this ability, he can achieve immortality and use the cursed techniques within the body's memories after transplantation, while also being able to use the cursed techniques originally engraved in his own body. However, this technique has an inevitable "Binding Vow"—using it will inevitably leave a scar on the practitioner's forehead, and it can even be used to open the skull.
- Spoiler Warning ->This cursed technique was copied by Yuta Okkotsu.
- Reverse Cursed Technique
- Special Grade Cursed Object "Prison Realm"
-
- Used to seal in the Battle of ShibuyaGojo Satoruthe Special Grade Cursed Object.
According to Kenjaku's description, the Prison Realm is the legendary Monk Genshin's[2]physical remains after his passing, and "there is nothing in this world that the Prison Realm cannot seal." - Even though the Prison Realm has powerful sealing abilities, this cursed object alone is still unable to complete the sealingGojo Satoru, because it has an "effective range" of 4 meters and an "activation time" of 1 minute,The 4-meter effective rangeis easy to solve, but the 1-minute activation time is somewhat difficult; no character can keep Satoru Gojo within a 4-meter range for 1 minute.Jogo: "Holding that guy back for a minute under those conditions is impossible, even if you exhausted the lives of thousands of ignorant humans.", but although it is 1 minute, it is not an objective minute, but rather the target'sone minute of time within the brain—meaning that as long as Satoru Gojo is suddenly plunged into long-past memories, he can be successfully sealed. The one who could create this opportunity was the person who at that time occupiedSuguru GetoKenjaku himself, who occupied the body.
- Used to seal in the Battle of ShibuyaGojo Satoruthe Special Grade Cursed Object.
- Cursed Object Creation
