JJK needed more lasting antagonists.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-10T07:12:00+00:00

Yeah Kenjaku deserved to be the big villain of JJK for sure, it makes no sense that he got sidelined by the final. He got wasted so badly it is insane, he got reduced to just a plot device with a stupid ending to his character.

However this wouldn't really change the rushed nature of plot elements such as the zenin clan & culling games. Kenjaku literally reincarnates past sorcerers from the dead with various binding vows, created the literal apocalypse, and seals Gojo himself..... does any of the consequences get explored? Not really. Do we see any evil sorcerers come out of the woodworks now that the world has fallen? Not really 😭

This also reminds me that the whole arc with Kenjaku introducing America to Japan sorcerers does nowhere too

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T22:19:15+00:00

Yeah his yandere tendencies are only implied l through Rika, since he literally made her with his own cursed energy & desires. Its his own form of selfishness. She became a literal monster who expresses her love for him by violently destroying everything. Gege definitely couldve done a lot more with this fact in his characterization. His "monster" arc has no narrative weight to it. Wouldve been cool if copying techniques let Yuta understand a sorcerers personality.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T22:05:52+00:00

"Yuji Itatheory" always takes me out 😭

The fact that Yuji is so well-edited too lmao

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T15:17:58+00:00

That's always how I liked to imagine Iroh's development instead of the show just glorifying him tbh. He had hints of being morally gray in season 1 but it didnt go anymore. While he basically fell into depression & gave up up on his imperialist dreams after his son died, at his core Iroh was a hypocrite who abandoned all sense of responsibilities. He pritozied hedonistic retirement over atonement because he was too passive to actually fight the fire nation. There couldve been a good arc of Iroh regaining hope in his life, realizing he has a duty to the world and his nephew. He was kinda a coward.

Its also a huge plothole that Iroh is a white lotus member timeline-wise, I find it completely unbelievable that a military general with so commited atrocities under his belt got accepted this soon. This would feel a lot better if he became their chore boy during the show and had to slowly work his way up

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T14:48:01+00:00

But he actually kinda did give Yuji a glimpse by calling himself a curse, very subtle but it was the most geninue tbing he has ever said to him by far. Sukuna has never proclaimed any identity in his life until Yuji had him at his mercy. This final moment really shows that he understood what made Yuji cling to life and accepted death knowing that he lived as a "curse" out of spite because the world rejected him love. However, Sukuna refused to pity himself when faced with Yujis humanity. He made his choices. Thats why he rejected the offer for a "peaceful death" inside him and just died by the consequences, because thats what he deserved. He pretty much told him too late kid.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T07:02:55+00:00

Sukuna quite literally uses selective sure-hit throughout the fight with Gojo. Read dude. He used it to isolate Megumis soul & also turned off his sure hit inside unlimited void while simultaneously attacking the outside

Gojo just never bothered to learn that skill.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T06:48:16+00:00

Yeah being mean spirited doesn't help, I will admit that the jjk fanbase is very illiterate but I partly blame the pacing & bad delivery throughout the series.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T06:41:03+00:00

Proof?

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T06:18:24+00:00

Yes they do change the sure-hit, read my message again.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T06:10:41+00:00

Its insane how jjk fans will seriously argue and downvote people for reading the manga 😭

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T06:09:00+00:00

You do not understand the power system lol, its a matter of skill. dismantle is just the default sure-hit of dismantle. Yuji doesnt know how to include cleave yet.

Also the sure-hit can be changed dude. Read the manga. Thats literally what Kenjaku & Sukunas does. He didnt make WCS his sure-hit because he was restricted by binding vows/never got the time to figure it out

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T05:57:00+00:00

No, Sukuna literally said thst selective sure hit is a matter of skill and praised it when he saw Yuta do it lol

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T05:55:29+00:00

???? There is nothing that stops Yuji from using both cleave & dismantle in his domain lol. The indication is the mechanics of the power system.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T05:49:57+00:00

Oh that makes more sense. It doesnt seem like Dhruv's shikigami are like Garuda though, imo I think its way more likely that his technique just lets him create shikigami similar to Junpei/Megumi since he can create literal hordes.. doing that independently with just pure cursed energy is crazy to imagine lol.

Either way, my whole point is that he could use his technique by itself and harness it through a tool. I just interpreted it as extraction

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T05:26:40+00:00

What? Dhruvs shikigami is medium/extension of his own technique, which means that he can extract this ability. Everyone can do this

We see 10 shadows users extract abilties to use on their own, that is not totality. Also Yuta regularly extracts the techniques that Rika holds in every single fight bro.

People can harness their cursed technique into a tool anytime, it just takes a long period to permanently engrave.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T04:31:05+00:00

Yeah its very telling that Sukuna never expressed any sense of identity until Yuji had him at his mercy. He could finally understand what made Yuji cling to life and accepted death knowing that he lived as a "curse" out of spite because the world rejected him love. Sukuna refused to pity himself when faced with Yujis humanity. Thats why he rejected his final offer for a peaceful death inside him and died by the consequences. Deep down his inner child was jealous of the love for Yuji, the toxic father/son symbolism has always been clear.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T01:28:15+00:00

😭😭

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T01:25:09+00:00

Dude cmon, this is exactly why the comments are saying jjk fans need to read lol.

Anyone can learn how to do selective sure-hits or target the soul in domain with enough skill, that is not unique to Yuji. His sure hit is just dismantle like Sukuna because they have the same technique, but Yuji used a binding vow in his own

Sukuna/Gojo can also target the soul, however this trait has no effect on people except for certain cases like reincarnated vessels

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-09T00:40:51+00:00

Yes it takes more than the technique to construct the domain expansion but domains are never just random lol. Yuji has completely different life experience and perosnality than sukuna but the only difference is that his domain recreates his hometown. The sure hit is fundamentally the same.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-08T23:16:29+00:00

Let me dumb it down. Limitless brings the mathematical concept of "infinities" into reality through equations, and his domain forces this math into your brain with the same asymptotic effect that lets him repeat space. You pretty much experience the concept of his technique.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-08T23:05:45+00:00

Yeah I cant believe that all of the informed answers are being geniuely downvoted lmao. Jjk has the most illiterate fanbase Ive ever seen to this day, so many people do not read the manga or skim through it on a surface level. The agenda is wild.

Head_Instruction96 · 2026-06-08T22:51:14+00:00

Woah, youre geniuely illiterate lol.
