It’s almost certain that Pseudo Geto won’t be able to fight back, even though the chapter doesn’t say clearly whether or not he died. But before all of his plans are destroyed, Kenjaku declares that his will lives on and that someone else will carry it through to achieve his objectives.

His last words have created a huge stir among Jujutsu Kaisen fans as they have devised many theories regarding how will Kenjaku fulfill his plans if he has been sliced off, and most of the theories land on his connection with Yuji Itadori, the protagonist, and giving a major plot twist just like Attack on Titan.

Kenjaku’s Connection To Yuji

Yuji’s parentage was discussed very later in the manga series. Kaori Itadori and Jin Itadori gave birth to Yuji. Previously, Kenjaku had implanted his brain using his natural ability into Jin Itadori’s partner Kaori’s body. For reasons that are still unclear, Kenjaku pretended to be her and utilized her body to mate and give birth to her son, Yuji. How long he lived in her body is still a mystery. In other words, Kenjaku was Yuji’s mother.

Kenjaku acknowledged that Yuji had a function, which was to be a hub for the ongoing creation of cursed spirits and a vessel for Sukuna. However, as Yuji was a tool in Kenjaku’s plans, it might be possible that Kenjaku may have a different plan for Yuji altogether and may use him as his successor in some way to fulfill his plans.

Yuji May Have Similar Fate As Eren Jaeger

In Chapter 243, Kenjaku offers a mysterious dialogue that alludes to the inheritance of will and intentions. Given that he assumed Yuji’s mother’s body and gave birth to the main character, Kenjaku’s speech may be connected to their relationship. A theory suggests that Kenjaku, being Yuji’s mother, may have carried out an experiment wherein Yuji was used as a vessel for the rebirth of his intentions.

This idea is a lot like that of Eren from Attack on Titan, who inherited his father’s memories and introduced one of the biggest plot twists in anime history. Similar to Eren’s shift from hero to villain, Yuji may become the antagonist of this story as a result of taking on Kenjaku’s motivations.

It has been revealed several times that Jujutsu Kaisen has been inspired by many famous anime and manga series. However, the plot twist which the theory suggests is similar to Attack on Titan will surely bring a huge change in the perspective of Gege Akutami’s masterpiece.
