Kenjaku's main objective in the slaughter game, explained

This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

The Culling Game is the main focus of Jujutsu Kaisen. For years, fans have been waiting to see if MAPPA would really do justice to the manga, and after watching the latest episodes, it's safe to say that the studio has delivered on all fronts. Besides the amazing animation, JJK Season 3 will have an amazing story, and at the center of it will be Kenjaku.

When Choso was spent, she stepped in to defeat Kenjaku. This is the brutal story of one of Jujutsu Kaisen's most decisive fights.

In the third season, Tengen has revealed several important details about Kenjaku, including what the latter is trying to accomplish with the Culling Game. Kenjaku has been a constant threat to humanity for centuries, and after sealing Gojo Satoru, he is one step closer to his plan.

  • Kenjaku wants to develop people by force

  • He is one step closer to achieving his goal

In the latest episode, Tengen revealed that Kenjaku has been planning to evolve the people of all of Japan for centuries. It was also confirmed that Tengen, Six Eyes, and the Star Plasma Vessel were connected to fate. That's why it's hardly shocking that Kenjaku was stopped twice by individuals who have Six Eyes.

After being foiled, Kenjaku decided to eliminate the next user of the technique, as well as the Star Plasma Vessel. After their extermination, Kenjaku was confident that he could set his plan in motion. Unfortunately for him, fate played a role, and on the day of Tengen's assimilation, Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel reappeared.

Despite his failure, Kenjaku did not give up and decided to change his strategy again. Instead of killing the next user of Six Eyes, Kenjaku decided to seal him away, which is why he started stalking the Prison Realm. In addition to obtaining the item, Kenjaku received a huge boost when Toji Fushiguro killed the Star Plasma Vessel and broke the chains of fate that bound it to Tengen and Six Eyes. An outsider's intervention proved to be very beneficial to Kenjaku's plan and helped him get closer to his goal.

Good things continued to happen to him as he also found Suguru Geto, a sorcerer with the ability to manipulate curses. When Geto was killed, Kenjaku seized the opportunity with both hands and took over the sorcerer's body. The next step in his plan was to seal away Gojo Satoru, which is why he orchestrated the Shibuya incident. Fortunately for him, everything worked out as he wanted, and Gojo Satoru was sealed in the Prison Realm.

As the person in charge of the Culling Game, it's pretty obvious that Kenjaku is the primary antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen's third season. Since Yuji and his allies have already been informed by Tengen of Kenjaku's goals, they must try to stop him at all costs. Tsukumo and Choso decided to stay behind to protect Tengen should Kenjaku decide to strike. Meanwhile, Megumi and Maki are on their way to the Zenin clan's treasury to look for some tools. This leaves Yuji and Yuta tasked with recruiting Hakari, a third year student at Jujutsu High who has been suspended. With everyone's role decided, fans can expect the upcoming episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 to be full of action and drama.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Why Season 3 Will Have the Biggest Fights Yet

How does Jujutsu Kaisen aim to be bigger than the Shibuya incident? Just a huge battle royale that takes place across the country, of course.

In addition to stopping Kenjaku, Yuji and his friends must also rescue Gojo Satoru from the prison realm. Tengen has already said that a wizard named Angel can erase the Cursed Techniques, so she can potentially free Gojo. Normally, they could have used Inverted Spear of Heaven or Black Rope, but both have been destroyed.

In any other situation, the heroes could have delayed Gojo Satoru's rescue, but with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, it would be foolish to do so. Therefore, it is imperative that Gojo Satoru be saved because he is the only person who is so powerful that he can take down any enemy. Without him, humanity risks extinction and becoming something completely different. Hopefully, JJK Season 3 will reveal more details about Gojo Satoru's rescue and his role in the upcoming arcs.
