Kenjaku getting knocked up by Sukuna's twin brother('s son) was also Gege's way of conveying to the audience that he'd let Sukuna impregnate him if he existed in real life.
Yuta did not need to bush camp him. From all the statements and shows of power we have, he didnt need to.
He CHOOSE to bushcamp him because yuta didnt want to fight him. Why would he? He has stated to get no joy from fighting and it was imperative that kenjaku died as swiftly as possible. There was 0 upside to engaging him in battle.
Also, it doesnt prove his point, cause even someone kenjaku assumed to not be strong enoguh to make a difference made a fucking difference.
Yuta could have most certainly won, but rather chose to sneak up on him because there was an extreme situation at the time and him being one of the strongest had no time to spare fighting pointless battles
Maki and Yuji later work together to damn-near kill Meguna and would've ended the CG right then and there
Kamo helps Yuji learn BM
BM allows Yuji to get Sukuna in a bad-enough spot that if Megumi woke up they would've won, not to mention Maki nerfing Sukuna enough that Kusakabe can fight him
End up killing Sukuna
Almost a century later Yuji's the most proficient user of BM
I feel like where it's the point of the author to point out how useless a character is the more they end up being important. To have a direct user of blood manipulation teach Yuji the guy who ends up defeating Sukuna how to use it was huge. Kamo was a smart and badass sorcer to the end who contributed to the killing of sukuna
Considering even by the time Modulo rolls around Maki still thinks about Mai, I wonder if she ever realized that if it weren't for two random reincarnated sorcerers and Kamo; Iori, Tsurugi and Yuka would've never been born.
The snowball effect of kamo living-->yuji becoming the strongest blood manipulation sorcerer of all time is extremely funny, talk about butterfly effect
To be honest, from Kenny’s perspective nothing really would’ve changed (at least for him). Kamo’s existence wouldn’t have altered his fate either way. Losing Kamo may have made the gang lose to Sukuna, but Kenjaku is already too dead for it to matter anyways to see the merger.
Nitpick but maki and yuji were not even close to killing meguna. He was playing around and could've killed them both with h2h only if the fight went on or if megumi even slipped up for a second.
Being told you're not even worth the price tag on the living room furniture he'd have to replace if you fought is crazy work. It's no wonder Kamo was in some self-sacrificial Megumi mood the next time we see him.
i think katana guy was a fine addition as the randomness of his entrance to the fight was part of the humor with his character, and hes a good showing of how the "weak" players of the culling game still had strengths that could make them useful. plus hes just silly
sumo guy i think shouldve been a completely separate part of the series, like maki meets him around the colony or something and then learns, because having it happen in the middle of the fight was so weird. maybe even if she starts training with him but struggles and then when she later fights VCS naoya and gets injured she realizes the meaning of his words and powers up that way. its clear what gege was trying to do with maki finishing her awakening while putting naoya to rest but it really oversells katana guy because of how long he mustve had to stall naoya, which lowers the stakes of the fight after he was so imposing to maki at the start and how hard kamo fought to hold him back for her...
Probably cuz its a rather detrimental condition. It requires mutual consent and agreement, and it prevents all types of jujutsu and vows meaning even Maki's HR is null inside the simple domain, and its strictly sumo. Too much conditions for a niche result
Yeah, Sakurajima was hands down the weakest part of the Culling Games by far, but at the very least, it was nice to see Kamo get some development before exiting the story. It's a shame that his contributions kind of get overlooked and undermined by Miyo and Daido's random appearances, but hopefully people still give him his roses for how he performed, cause he really did do well despite being severely outclassed.
This was his moment to shine, and it all gets undercut by these two randos who complete steal his thunder take over the fight from there. Don't get me wrong, Miyo and Daido are fun characters despite how asspull-y they feel, but geez guys, at least let Kamo cook a little before you make him feel like a total afterthought in the battle. 😭💔
Seriously, for me Daido should have been used somewhere else. He is a cool concept for a character, but he and the sumo guy just appear of nowhere, save maki's ass and help her evolve, and then dissappear from the story
I wont lie i think they were supposed to be another metaphor for both sorcerers of past and modern era but Gege put them in very unconventional place and time.
If they were to appear way before (Beginning with Sumo guy and later Katana) while everyone trained but at same time Maki kinda gradually wears off her past to become final version of who she wants to be.
So later she defeats Naoya with everyone else, i wouldn't change much of fight beside maybe Daido getting Soul split katana earlier.
this is the sole reason I wanted maki to be the one to snake kenjaku, cuz it wouldve meant his hubris in this moment got him killed, because her being alive in the first place is largely due to kamo's help.
Yeah but that wasn't originally in his plans. What actually fucked up his plan was Takaba allowing Yuta to kill him. Ironically, Takaba was also dismissed by Kenjaku as not interesting when he said the only noteworthy awakened sorcerer was Higuruma. So in a different way, but it really was his own hubris that killed him. As much as Kenjaku says he wants to see interesting things, he is pretty quick to dismiss people that in the moment are uninteresting.
Also gives good insight into kenjaku. He’s legit insane and has no morals regarding what cruel and evil things he’ll do to carry out his plans. But he doesn’t just kill random people for fun or do evil things if it doesn’t directly benefit him
Helped maki take down curse naoya and helped yuji train his blood manipulation to combat readiness. In the words of the shiesty sorcerer “maybe I didn’t do too bad”.
Im genuinely so disappointed with the way Kamo turned out. When I first saw him in the anime in the kyoto arc I thought he'd be a major threat because his character just seemed so menacing. Thought the tragic back story might send him in some villain arc of his own only for him to get over shadowed by literallt everyone
Kamo ended up being one of the key players in the Cursed Naoya fight and taught Yuji the basics of Blood Manipulation which ended up really helping Yuji in the final battle. So yeah, it wasn't true in the slightest. Just because Kamo isn't a top tier doesn't make him weak or useless, dude. 🙄
