Kenjaku vs. TengenβThe Open Domain Masterclass
When the anime finally reaches the fight between Kenjaku and Tengen, a lot of people are going to think itβs just another flashy battle.
Itβs basically a 500 IQ chess match using cursed techniques.
Kenjaku didnβt win because he was stronger than Yuki Tsukumo or Choso.
He won because he understood domains and barriers better than almost anyone alive.
And the key to the entire fight?
What an Open Domain Actually Is:
Normally a domain expansion works like this:
The sorcerer creates a barrier.
The enemy gets trapped inside.
The userβs technique becomes a guaranteed hit.
Think of it like building a room and forcing your opponent inside.
But an open domain breaks that rule.
Instead of creating a closed roomβ¦
The technique is projected directly into reality without a barrier.
The best example is Ryomen Sukunaβs domain: Malevolent Shrine.
It doesnβt trap people.
It simply manifests its effect over a huge area of the real world.
Kenjaku can do the same thing.
Why Tengenβs Plan Failed:
The plan from Tengenβs side was actually clever.
Let Kenjaku open his domain.
Use Tengenβs superior barrier technique to dismantle it.
Once his domain collapses, Yuki kills him.
Except they made one huge assumption.
They assumed Kenjakuβs domain worked like a normal closed domain.
Because his domain wasnβt sealed inside a barrier at all.
Tengen couldnβt dismantle something that was never contained.
Itβs like trying to break a glass boxβ¦
when there was never a box in the first place.
By the time they realized this?
The damage was already done.
Kenjakuβs Ability Arsenal (Why Heβs So Dangerous):
Kenjaku is absurdly dangerous because heβs basically carrying multiple cursed techniques at once.
1. Body-Hopping Technique
His brain transfers between bodies, letting him steal abilities from powerful sorcerers.
Thatβs how he obtained Getoβs technique.
2. Cursed Spirit Manipulation
Originally Suguru Getoβs ability.
It lets him control thousands of curses and combine them into attacks like Maximum: Uzumaki.
3. Anti-Gravity Technique
A technique he inherited from another host.
This is the ability he used to counter Yukiβs insane mass attacks.
4. Master-Level Barrier Techniques
This is the real cheat code.
Kenjakuβs barrier knowledge is nearly on the level of Tengen himself.
Which is why the open domain trick even worked.
The Real Reason Kenjaku Won:
Kenjaku has lived for over 1000 years.
He has seen multiple generations of sorcerers
He understands cursed techniques at a historical level
He knows how sorcerers think
So when everyone else planned for a normal domain battleβ¦
Kenjaku rewrote the rules.
That moment perfectly shows why he might be the most dangerous mind in Jujutsu Kaisen.
But the one playing the longest game.
