Latest arcs were curve ball after curve ball. Love that Maki reached her full potential, breaking away from Cursed Energy entirely and thus enhancing her physical abilities to a truly superhuman extent, comparable to Toji’s. Not so sure how I feel about the culling of the Zen’in family but she’s badass nonetheless. Love how Naoya died in the exact same way he said women who’re unable to walk three steps behind a man should: stabbed in the back. Fitting for someone like him, who prided himself in his Cursed Technique so much, to be dragged to deaths doors by a woman with zero cursed energy, then killed by a mere kitchen knife.
I originally thought Kenjaku’s plan with the culling game was the force humans to adapt by subjecting them to semi-first grade curses and above, putting them in a position where they must learn to utilize Cursed Energy to survive, or die. A “survival of the fittest” type of thing but that doesn’t seem to be his goal after all. Instead, the Culling Game will act as a ritual for fusing humanity with Tengen, breaking the barriers between curse and man.
But frankly I’m a little more invested in the tiny glimpse we got into Yuji’s past, it raises so many questions.
Choso was never being delusional about Itadori being his brother. We know that, as a Cursed Womb: Death Painting, Choso had three parents: his mother, the curse that impregnated her, and a man who mixed his blood in trying to create a perfect half human half curse being. That man was Noritoshi Kamo, the evilest sorcerer in history, and the body of whom Kenjaku resided in over 150 years ago. This is backed up by the fact that Choso is able to use Blood Manipulation, a Kamo Family technique. From the glimpse into Yuji’s past we’re given, we know that Kenjaku once inhabited the body of a woman, birthing the son of Jin Itadori: Yuji Itadori. This makes Yuji the son of Kenjaku and, subsequently, Choso’s real brother.
Knowing that Kenjaku is Yuji’s parent makes the final words they say to Yuji during the conclusion of the Shibuya Incident much more bitter sweet.
However it’s evident that Kenjaku doesn’t possess the body of another without reason, so this raises the question: what was so special about Itadori’s mother that caused Kenjaku to possess her body? Is Yuji possibly a Death Painting? Why were the scars on Yuji’s mothers’ head different from the ones that appeared on Noritoshi and Geto’s bodies? Why did Choso ask if it was Itadori’s father that had the scars when it was his mother? Was there meaning behind it or was it just a mistake? Why was Yuji’s grandfather trying so desperately to warn Jin about his wife? Was he a sorcerer? Did he possibly know his wife had been taken over by Kenjaku? It’s possible Yuji’s family was more tied to the Jujutsu world than what was originally thought
