Jujutsu Kaisen has a strong lineup of villains. From the all-powerful and evil Sukuna to the disgustingly horrible Mahito, all of them contribute a lot to the story. But it\u2019s Kenjaku who posed as true terror by orchestrating many impactful incidents in the plot. Not only had Kenjaku taken over Geto\u2019s body and cursed technique, but he was also the reason behind Gojo\u2019s imprisonment in the Prison Realm, the Shibuya Incident, and the Culling Game. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s also the progenitor of the Death Paintings and Yuji. However, despite his impact on the plot, his ending turned out to be a huge disappointment. During the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, when Sukuna was fighting Gojo, Kenjaku had Takaba as his opponent. This led to the most ridiculous battle in Jujutsu Kaisen, ending with the comedian\u2019s death. But before Kenjaku could enjoy his victory, he was taken down by Yuta in an instant, ending his role in the story. What\u2019s more, he transferred the power of the merger to Sukuna before dying. And this is what has fans so displeased with his character. Many fans pointed out how underwhelming his death was. On top of it, him transferring the authority of the merger to Sukuna made very little sense since he\u2019d known the King of Curses for a very short time and had no reason to trust him. \u201cNgl, comedy dude removed every SMIDGE of aura Kenjaku had left and I\u2019m eternally grateful for it,\u201d wrote one user on X, followed by another saying, \u201cI was legit so angry when they replaced Geto (an actually well-written character) with this disgusting thing.\u201d \u201c\u2018I\u2019ve been alive for 1000 years but guess what? I don\u2019t need to see the fruits of my labor, I\u2019ll just give the nuclear launch codes to this 4 armed guy I\u2019ve known for 0.00001% of my lifespan\u2019,\u201d mocked a third. \u201cCraziest fumble in shonen history excluding Muzan,\u201d joined a fourth, while another fan mockingly commented, \u201cSlightly underwhelming.\u201d While the story of Kenjaku is over, the sorcerers still have the final villain to deal with. Throughout the arc, Sukuna has been proving why he\u2019s called the strongest. But now that Yuji has unleashed his domain expansion, things can change in the final round of Yuji vs. Sukuna. We\u2019ll get to see that battle in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266. Until then, check out the Jujutsu Kaisen creator\u2019s new favorite, and why Megumi\u2019s return after Chapter 265 has fans divided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s most \u201cunderwhelming\u201d villain called out by fans Gege Akutami\/MAPPAKenjaku had a lot of potential as a villain in Jujutsu Kaisen, but his death has fans calling him out for being \u201cunderwhelming\u201d.
