Since you already mentioned Choso, I guess it's Wasted potential #76 for me.

I really like his power, personality (pre-insanity) and character design, but jjk0 made him goofy and kooky in a bad way, and Kenjaku is... well. We're introduced to him as "the worst curse user whos killed over a hundred people", only to find out he did that once, at 17, and then just kept it low key with a monkey here and there while actually helping non-sorcerers by getting rid of their curses. And then he announced a war... on sorcerers...? A surprise attack would've worked better for him

Thanks to the hand scene, I used to think we'd really see a Geto comeback and maybe even redemption, like Megumi fighting back at the very end for his friend. But that plot went nowhere, so I guess I'll just seethe

It would've been more effective to just do that without warning and the ample prep time, allowing sorcerers that were in different missions across japan (or overseas) to be caught off guard and not be able to come back, causing panic and scrambling; and not be suspected until it was too late.

Agreed about Hidden Inventory. Had good amount of the school concept which I wish we'd had more of for the main cast, the trio were already established friends since they were second-years, the star plasma mission wasn't some death ridden somber race against time like Shibuya. It felt generally light hearted and sincere, with sweet bonding moments in between fun fights, before shit went down at the very end

I bought the shoko-geto-gojo friendship more than I ever will the megumi-yuji-nobara one.
>>
>>287120389
>then just kept it low key with a monkey here and there while actually helping non-sorcerers by getting rid of their curses
Low key? The only reason why it looks low key is because of how short JJK0 is. Just based on how bat shit crazy cults are in Korea and Japan if JJK0 were a series and not a one shot Geto would have looked way crazier and would have been remembered as the scammer he was all along by fans.

>I bought the shoko-geto-gojo friendship more than I ever will the megumi-yuji-nobara one.
I mean they actually gel well together. Megumi feels like he's asked to be there, Nobara is usually angry about something and Yuji is too nice to have a problem with either. Like it's a fine dynamic but the previous three did feel like friends hanging out together because they wanted to.

Kenjaku as a villain is just "lol, so randum I guess"
Now that works for the Joker when he's written very well (and even then they usually do way more with him) but that's it
The only connection to any character he has would be being Yuji's mom, which is never explored in any meaningful way as Yuji doesn't care and neither does Kenjaku
So Kenjaku is just there, he's not a villain he's a plot device.

There is a reason magneto 2.0 tops the polls over every other villain including sukuna while kekjaku is nowhere to be seen

the manga?

He killed 112 in the village alone, 10 years ago. Then Sonoda taking over the cult.

He kills a money donor monkey in the panels after absorbing the molester curse from the big tit girl, 10 years after the village.

Geto basically spends 10 years collecting curses from people and stacking up his curse inventory to over 4k curses for what I guess is the massive attack. I'm just saying, for someone who hates monkeys and just wanted to do the best he could to erase them, not killing at least over a thousand by now on the down-low is rookie numbers.
>>
>>287121480
Kenjaku is THE powerscaler, you all joke about Iori but who took several centuries and careful planned everything to create a massive battle royale between people who aren't from the same generations/eras just because he wanted to see who is the most violent gorilla among players? If Gege came out with yet another interview in ten years to say "yeah I came up with the merger just to make Kenjaku look more dangerous but I never gave a fuck" I wouldn't be surprised.

As for Geto, I feel like everything about him and Gojo were carefully planned by Gege and if he could go back in time he would have found a way to just make Geto himself come back for JJK. It's obvious he loves Geto so much it's the only reason he invented Kenjaku.
>>
>>287121559
That's geto, retard
Not kenjaku
>>
>>287121525
While yeah, they are very different, Kenjaku's plan is so similar to what Geto could have done you can easily switch Geto in the story with minimal changes >>287104966

>>287121559
Well I imagine if he started actively massacring people Gojo would come hunting for him before he's ready
He has to lay low until he has ammassed enough power to essentially take over jujutsu society, which was what Rika was supposed to help him do
Now, not saying his jjk0 plan is smart, its not, but I can see the idea behind it.
>>
>>287121509
>>287121442
Kind of my point though. At least Shoko had an implied year's worth of friendship with them by the time she got sidelined.

Nobara knew them for even less time, and was straight up written out of the story while Megumi and Yuji continued their bromance, sharing more bonding moments and heartfelt conversations.

Nobara's last memory with them was in Shibuya, she didn't experience the horrors of the culling games and all that Meg/Yuji went though.
>>
>>287121634
Oh, I get it. You misunderstood my original post.
When I said "Kenjaku is...well.", that was the end of talking about Kenjaku, he's too different of a character to Geto so I don't compare them.

The rest of the post is talking about Geto

I guess you could postpone shibuya to have them be second years if you really want

But I never felt like they didn't work as a trio in season 1, Yuji and Nobara worked especially well together, I think the issue is that they were separated for most of Shibuya and Nobara straight up wasn't in the CG

>Well I imagine if he started actively massacring people Gojo would come hunting for him before he's ready
If he's not too over the top with how he's killing a lot of people I can already imagine Gojo not giving a shit besides missing Geto and looking at the sunset with a sad face before the next scene starts. Even the higher ups and Mei Mei assumed Gojo was working with Geto all along and hid him for a year because of how gay for each other they were and how easily Gojo could have killed him for 10 years and didn't do anything.

>Kenjaku's plan is so similar to what Geto could have done you can easily switch Geto in the story with minimal changes
I agree, I even gave a similar opinion long ago, but Gege obviously didn't want to retcon JJK0 and make Geto's initial plan more elaborate. I like to think if Gege didn't make Geto's death so explicit in JJK0 he would have just made him come back, do a lot of things Kenjaku did, but he would have had a very different behavior and different motives. And the merger would have been his plan to make all of Japan sorcerers against their will, and eventuall all of humanity. It would have worked very well based on how Yuki looked into ways to get rid of the curse problems from the source. And now that Modulo is completed I feel like I'm right.

why is he obsessed with brothers?
>>
>>287121470
This is my point. I'm trying to look at it as objectively to the canon as I can, ignoring any extras or jujustrolls, etc.

By the time Shibuya started, it felt like their friendship was just starting to blossom, especially with Megumi. The fight at Yasohachi bridge carried a lot of their bond development. The last time we saw them as a normal friendship was chapter 64 with the Ozawa plot, and then it's right into Shibuya, CG, horros beyond human comprehension, and then she wakes up and it's back to status quo at jujutsu high

Speaking of how different Geto and Kenjaku are. They have different vibes altogether once you're far enough into JJK. Geto is a pure and innocent virging who believes in justice and true love. And Kenjaku is a degenerate slut.

It's not normal for the two main villains (sukuna and kekjaku) to not even break the top 5, that shouldn't be happening regardless of fujos.
Especially kenjaku is a complete failure, n 22, 500 votes.
He fucking loses to Ijichi, are you going to tell me its because of fujos?

No anon, he's just the most uninteresting villain ever using the body of a much better villain, and his powers and voice at that.
The audiences tends to LOVE mastermind characters, they are always fan favorites, he however completely misses the mark.
>>
>>287122260
His brother seems to be cool in a normal way, and Gege is a massive nerds who's obsessed with shonen manga and anime he watched as a teen and with yaoi manga. And if there's a very small age difference between the two you know damn well everyone around them compared them to each other all the time and probably still do. I've heard that the way "elders" are supposed to be treated in Japan and other Asian countries is as autistic as where my parents are from, in that case I can't blame Gege for being a bit fucked up by it based on personal observations.

I don't hate him, I don't think people straight up hate him, its just that why would you vote him instead of Geto, Mahito, or Sukuna if you want to vote a villain.
His face is that of a better villain, his plan is just random shit for the lulz, he's not as powerful as Sukuna, and he's not as fun as Mahito nor does he hurt the protagonists as much as Mahito

He has no real place in the story.

>>287122420
Disappointment because he was less important and smart than expected, not as cool as Sukuna, not as relatable and sympathetic as Geto, and he's a degenerate in a way that's too real and disgusting which is also the reaosn why plenty of fans don't like Naoya at all. He's also too mysterious but unlike Sukuna, we have way less clues as to what his past was besides him traveling all over the world for centuries and asking random strong people if they want to beat the shit out of Sukuna.

The plot of having all non-sorcerers merge into a mega cursed spirit worked for Geto just perfectly, and there was meaning and reason to it beyond just "I just wanna see what happens".

We don't even get a backstory for him, so he feels pointless. He finds enjoyment from a literal clown in the end, he could've just gotten into comedy years ago.

I've been wondering why Gege didn't have both Geto and Kenjaku as antagonists in the story. Geto as the leader and Kenjaku as the ancient scientist backing him. Kenjaku could have still been Kaori too. They both work together to create the Culling Games but perhaps they have a difference in opinion on how it should be used. Kenjaku wanting the merger still while Geto just wants to spawn more sorcerers and make them kill monkeys. Maybe they could have conflict over it down the line.

Curiosity is a personality trait (or flaw) that any character can have, but it's lacking as an entire character's goal, especially when they're THIS relevant to the story to the point they orchestrated everything.

He did basically everything Aizen did (who did it to become god and "fix" the world he viewed as unjust- hey that's a similar character to someone in jjk), but for the lulz.

>>287122545
All these "for the lulz" have different justifications when you think about it. Why did he found the idea of destroying the world fun? Because he lived so long he must have found everything else boring because he saw almost everything there was to see. Kind of like these super old but healthy people who plainly tell you they're waiting for their turn to die straight to your face. Why did making the death wombs interest him? Keep in mind he's a powerscaler, and powerscaling anons in previous threads kept saying the Kamo clan's technique sucks ass compared to the Zenin's and Gojo's unique techniques so you can already guess Kenjaku had the same opinion and wanted to make the blood manipulation technique better just out of curiosity, to see if that was even possible. Why did he make Yuji? Because of the binding vow with Sukuna. If he didn't find a way to reincarnate Sukuna he was screwed. And he wanted Sukuna to particpate in the culling game because it's fun. Why? Because he's a powerscaler and he wanted to see Sukuna fighting a bunch of guys.

I get that it's not that deep but everything still makes sense beyond "for the lulz" in my opinion.

>And the answer was yes, and non-consensually. Gege had this world to explore and we don't really go anywhere.

And it was never explained, nor given more exposition. The girl just happened to be able to somehow get pregnant by cursed spirits (who dont have genitals). How did he even pull that off, was it just one special cursed spirit or does literally any curse works with her specifically?
>>
>>287122804
Not that hard to figure out, we can assume that Kenjaku just chained up a girl and implanted her with curse seeds or whatever and it grew within her. Then did it multiple times. There's also grosser ways you can go about it.

Go ask Gege. Geto's technique is kind of like mpreg too so maybe it's all based on some primal fear or specific legends like the virgin Mary shitting out a baby without having sex once or weird Japanese spirits that look like animals but can transform themselves into pretty women and have human babies.

I guess that works better for the scientist the main antagonist employs rather than the main antagonist himself being so shallow

A simple antagonist works for a simple plot, so for example Sauron works because the plot is a journey to destroy a ring and the adventure around it. He's more of a force of nature than an active antagonist, and because of his limited active role in the story he's great being simple and straightforwards

But Kenjaku has the uberkeikaku of
>centuries collecting sorcerers
>became Yuji's fucking mom
>created cursed wombs
>had a supermerger plan with mechanics that took a 20 minute episode to explain
>resurrected the greatest curse/sorcerer in history by making Yuji
>took over Geto's body and used it in an elaborate plot to take Gojo
>Groomed other important villains like Mahito with a specific purpose
Like, when you get ALL OF THIS, you really, really expect more than to be hit with a "I was bored lol"

>>
>>287122894
>you really, really expect more than to be hit with a "I was bored lol"
For me it all depends on how it's presented and how much it influences where the story goes. Kenjaku is crazy and I don't expect crazy people to make decisions regular people would. And had infinite free time, it's not like some regular guy who has an average lifespan trying to create an elaborate plan that won't serve him while having a fulltime job and a family. So I'm fine with that BUT I also wish we knew more about Kenjaku.
>>
>>287122260

It's shitposting, do not be confused and start thinking random things, he referenced his brother once or twice, and the rest is just headcanon, like Gege being a female (when he went to an all boy school)

Sure, but clearly nobody is satisfied with that when he's such an integral character to the entire story.

Sukuna was a menace, but he wasn't as proactive as Kenny, and seemed more reactive in the Heian era. People bothered him first, so he bothered the entire world back. His motivation for transcending the ages as a cursed object to one day reincarnate is because deep down he wasn't fulfilled with his life, which works and people like it, and it's stated in canon. At the end, he accepts his death and decides on a different path for his next life.

Similarly, Kenjaku isn't fulfilled, I guess, but it's because he's just so curious he just wants to experience more and more? He's not immortal, he could just choose death at any moment, but judging from how he told Gojo he'd unseal him after a millenia, he plans to live longer, aimlessly. It's not like he's stated that he'd be satisfied if he achieved the merger, he'd still stick around to see how the world changes.

Mai should've resented Maki's entire existence the moment she found out she could've been a strong sorcerer, and therefore been a higher status member of her clan instead of a maid, if she didn't have her parasitic twin siphoning her potential.

The twin thing works both ways, look at how strong Maki became when Mai took the CE Maki had with her to the grave. She had the same technique as Yorozu.

Also she's hotter than Maki and her voice is better

>without a strict editor keeping him on a leash
He still had restrictions because of the SJ itself and he made sure to not contradict his own story and especially JJK0 too much to create something coherent. So he's not totally unable to create something by himself. What I want to see is Gege going all out just out of curiosity.

Let's say:
>he only had yes men as editors or no editors at all
>he has his own original idea and only changes something if he feels like it
>he stops caring that his parents also read his series, which means he can put as much fanservice as he wants
>no age restrictions, Gege gets to publish his next series in a seinen magazine and he isn't pushed to have teenage protagonists or furigana or corny, useless school settings
>he can plagiarize anything he wants without worrying about lawsuits because now he's too popular thanks to JJK and other artists would be flattered to be plagiarized if it's Gege, like what happened with Junji Ito
Now I want to see the kind of trainwreck he could create in these circumstances.

I'd say the anime is generally making the source material more enjoyable, barring a couple of things
But there is also no reason to not pick up what's left of the manga after you watch everything that's already out
>>
>>287120065
Sukuna and his favorite little kozo.
>>
>>287126317
I'd say experience both. Read the manga because ultimately it is the version that came first and the actual source, though the anime does improve things. It's a different experience but it can be enjoyable on both ends.
>>
>>287126317
This is the case with most manga: The anime is 1 milion times better.
At best you get an amazing adaptation much better than the manga itself (Frieren for example fits this), at worst you get the manga panels adapted 1 to 1 while colored with music and voice acting (like that one comedy series with the yakuza dude).
Manga fags sometimes complain about muh cut content but no such thing exists for manga, there is barely any worthwhile "writing" in most manga that can't just be easily adapted to anime form.

The anime doesn't get any of the feel of the story correct and they ruin concise, purposeful fights with flashy and nonsensical sakuga.

They even remove scenes to add bad ones they made up themselves. They try to make it gay too. Then they add their awful music on top of serious moments like Yuji's mental breakdown. M*ppa. Genuinely incompetent. Likely malicious

That analogy is faulty since CE to normalfags is useless. Literally nothing changes to some random civilian not involve in jujutsu stuff except now they won't need to worry about getting gaped by some rape demon as much.

Because Kenjaku fulfilled the rest of his story, between his bout with Yuki, to Takaba finally making him laugh, to his wrap-up by being done in by Yuta. His character only makes sense that way, even more so when you consider how Gege outright stated he based him on Sensui, with Geto being more like the original Shinobu personality and Kenjaku being blatantly inspired by the Minoru personality.

Also forgot, but Kenjaku may as well be a resulting "curse" taking after Geto, a walking and talking corpse that's just looking for happiness amidst all the fucked up world of jujutsu (only finally satisfied by his comedy duo act with Takaba). Also if we take the Tatsuya Kitani's interpretation of Gojo's final words to Geto being "Will I see you again?", it cycles back to Kenjaku's return being Gojo's unintended curse towards Geto.

That guy who had negative overflow cursed energy and beat people with his bare hands.

There was a lot of talk of missed potential in the last thread. Is there any character you think had their character arc nailed perfectly? I think the closest would be Toji.

>Imagine every Japanese person getting rounded up so that they become a battery.
Nah, what would happen is sex. Japanese semen and ovaries would be so valuable that everyone would want some. Eventually everyone would be Japanese to the point the national identity doesn't exist separately anymore and nobody is. The trafficking will be sexual, kidnappings for spermjacking, maybe willing volunteers and/or raids at Japanese sperm banks.

I'm slightly sad the skies of Yuta's domain expansion are so empty.

Nah fuck you guys Kenny is based
He does the most vile fucked up shit imaginable, Geto couldn't do half of it because at his core Geto's still a moralfag. Not to say Geto's a bad character from a literary perspective, but he does things for a reason, he thinks the world is fucked up and unfair since sorcerers die like dogs to curses they aren't even responsible for creating and who the general populace can't even see. It takes a certain fucked up mind and morbid curiosity to experiment with raping and impregnating a woman with curses, which Geto couldn't have unless you change his character entirely
As opposed to Geto or Sukuna, Kenny is more comparable to Mahito as a villain

Jjk is a neat show, its fans however deserve to be sexually assaulted
>>
Rape jjk fans, rape jjk fans, rape jjk fans, rape jjk fans, rob jjk fans of their bodily autonomy and dignity, lift weights to overpower fans of jjk so you can anally assault them

Unironically what was the point of her existence since apparently, Yuji is still a virgin in Modulo?
>>
Decapitate jjk fans with knives
>>
>>287133654
Canon answer? Gege wanted Yuji to feel like he's actually a popular guy in school hence Ozawa having a crush on him
>>
>>287131862
>well my series is ending i guess my mc gets some pussy since that's the standard move
>hmm this sequel doesn't make sense if he has a family, let's just ignore it (it worked because there are no actual yukofans)
>>
>>287133770
Bro, Nobara was right there if Gege felt like needing Yuji to pair with someone
>>
>>287133793
Nobara is too much like a femcel to stay with a man, let alone marry
