#takaba vs kenjaku

[hermitw]

I THINK ch. 270 gave us more hints about Momotaro?

Momotaro is mentioned when Gojo speaks to Suguru in the hidden inventory arc. It also appears during Takaba's fight with Kenjaku.

Different translations of the same page - at first, I thought this was saying that Geto is a bit different from Kenjaku - that Takaba used his CT to revive Geto in attempt to have a comedy partner (rip Kenjaku's brain, but it's better to leave him in the afterlife).

In the later translation, it seems they're discussing the difference between jokes. I'm not fluent in Japanese but I wouldn't be surprised if this could be read with multiple meanings.

Why is momotaro only mentioned with Geto - or Kenjaku, in his body? I know that Kenjaku was more interested in playing video games than knowing what CT had occurred in awakened players in the culling games.

There's the satosugu ship, and there's the chemistry between Kenjaku and Takaba.

There's the joke about Momotaro's conception - eating a magic peach and bumping uglies.

Idk the significance yet...

At this point maybe I should watch gameplay of momotaro? Or beg the internet to add anything they know.

I just cannot believe this is a coincidence bc gege wrote this, you know? So what does it meeaannnnnnn.....

Latest update here:

Momotaro (from the game) seems to resemble the way our latest curse victim sees her fiancé...?

Momotaro from folklore seems to resemble Yuuji.

There's something really interesting about Sukuna dying as a pathetic lump of flesh, screaming on the ground, and both Kenjaku and Uraume going out with a smile after fighting & bonding with a sorcerer who represents modern jujutsu. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to develop this theme.

We're really about to watch Kenjaku get his ass handed to him by a comedian of all people, huh?

my only general predictions for jjk is that Yuuji will be able to target the different souls in Sukuna’s body to be able to reach Megumi’s suppressed soul and attack sukuna’s. Im actually interested in how this will all go down, especially with Higuruma in the mix, since these fights can’t be as simple as two overpowered characters with the loss of multiple special grade sorcerers. With the potential of a court trial domain or Yuuji’s knowledge of the soul, I imagine it’ll become more psychological or metaphysical in the fighting, with a lot of good insight into sukuna and/or yuuji, megumi, etc. As for Kenjaku, I have NO idea where their story is going (apart from Yuuta wanting to kill them), but i enjoy that part of the story being unpredictable—it fits their character

⚠️ JJK 239 SPOILERS❗

Chapter Highlights:

Chapter changed POV to Kenjaku.

He killed another reincarnated sorcerer and Hazenoki (He was in Reggie's group, he also saved fallen Hana/Angel)

He plans to kill all players to end the culling games and made a binding vow that once it's over the merging with Tengen and all Japan will begin.

Takaba, the goat, arrived! Kenjaku attacked him and to his surprise it did no damage!

KENJAKU VS TAKABA NEXT WEEK! (I think)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This chapter is so unserious lmao I can't wait for Takaba to give Kenny a hard time! I hope he survives!!! 🙏🏻

[spaceboystar]

can’t wait until kenjaku v takaba gets animated actually . peak fight ever i think it’s my favorite out of everything

[tariah23]

The live action commercial celebrating the release of JJK VOL 27. Is so 😭!!!

[le-panda-chocovore]

JJK 240 is the funniest shit ever

WHY DO YOU HAVE A FRIENDLY CONVERSATION WITH HIM ??? WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT COMEDIANS ??? KENNY YOU CLOWN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING LMAOOOOOOOO

[franeridan]

this might just be an unpopular opinion in the jjk fandom but i love how little seriously things happen for the most part since the culling game started, like i miss being seriously emotionally invested in it a little bit ngl but i love the way the newer characters will just open their mouths and say things so much, they were all forced in this game against their will and the only ones that survived long enough to make it in the cast are the unhinged ones that makes so much sense to me. maybe I liked the plot until the shibuya incident a little more but tbh some of my favourite characters in the whole manga have been introduced or have been made relevant during the culling game, some of these guys are just pure gold on legs

[busysleeping]

okay but kenjaku seeing gojo cut in two was a big missed opportunity for geto's body to react again like in shibuya

[hermitw]

Guys... Was itafushi meant to parallel Kenjaku & Takaba?

I couldn't stop thinking about when Takaba said that he didn't want it (his dream performance) to end.

Was he really saying that he didn't want Kenjaku's life to end? It feels like the same energy as...

It's funny bc even w the soul resonance they had, Kenjaku has no fear for his life and replies like this.

And the mention of their fans knowing nothing about comedy... Yuuji knew nothing about jujutsu... (idk man)

And they both said the same thing?? Megumi's will to live had already...

And Takaba... I hope he's just playing dead I'm still mad we didn't get to see him vs sukuna

But in the end... They were grateful. And saying "you cracked me up" is also interesting bc Yuuji cracked Megumi and Sukuna apart.

Tell me you see this too I'm begging

[galaxynajma]

I use to make a lot of jjk incorrect quotes but ahh what was this one about again?

[theclearblue]

The way Yuki and Choso vs. Kenjaku probably would have been my favorite fight in the whole series if it didn't end the way it did. Actually tragic.

[goatyuuji]

I have seen a lot of people rooting for Takaba for the Takaba vs Kenjaku fight…and personally I just want Kenjaku to one shot that guy already because if Yuki couldn’t win with a black hole, Takaba DEFINITELY doesn’t deserve to win with his goofy ass 😭

[iris-nonsense]

Best fight in the series
