This has led to fans developing hate for the loved character because he took advantage of the situation and did not fight a fair battle with the villain. Although it was a planned tactic and took a lot of precision and waiting, fans think that Yuta was unfair in killing Kenjaku as he took away the right from Takaba.
However, if fans read the situation properly and understand the tactic behind the planning that went into killing Kenjaku, they would see that Yuta does not deserve the hate he has been getting for killing one of the biggest villains in the Jujutsu Kaisen series.
How Yuta Was Able to Kill Kenjaku
Kenjaku’s demise was among the most significant in Jujutsu Kaisen. Kenjaku engaged in a protracted battle with Takaba, one of the sorcerers’ most formidable allies, and only after great effort was Kenjaku able to kill Takaba. But as soon as Kenjaku turned to leave the battle with Takaba, Yuta ambushed him from behind and promptly sliced his head off.
Kenjaku found this rather perplexing because Yuta is a character who possesses a significant amount of cursed energy. It shouldn’t be feasible for him to ambush someone, particularly someone with the strength of character that Kenjaku possesses. But Kenjaku soon discovered that Takaba alone was responsible for making all of this possible.

He distracted Kenjaku to the point where he could not feel the presence of Yuta. However, as Yuta got the credit for killing Kenjaku, fans were sad to see that Takaba who was the main opponent of Kenjaku and who made all of this possible not being recognized as the killer of one of the most hated villains of all time.
Yuta Does Not Deserve The Hate For Killing Kenjaku
Fans have been hating Yuta for stealing the credit from Takaba for killing Kenjaku. However, Yuta does not deserve this hate at all. The killing of Kenjaku was an elaborate plan that the sorcerers developed to physically and mentally drain the villain so that he could be distracted and could bring a chance to slice his head off and ultimately kill him.

In the plan, Takaba was the distractor whose job was to keep Kenjaku occupied and busy, also draining his energy at the same time. Takaba was able to complete his duty properly as he was able to distract Kenjaku to the point where he did not even feel Yuta’s presence around him, giving him the chance to kill Kenjaku.
Yuta knew from the beginning that it would take a lot of effort and sacrifice to kill someone as strong as Kenjaku. He waited patiently for the right moment so that he could grab the opportunity at the perfect time, and he did exactly that. In the grand scheme of things, Yuta does not deserve the hate that he has been getting from Jujutsu Kaisen fans.
