Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269 spoilers reveal the truth behind Kenjaku’s death, settling a popular debate among fans over a theory.
The Jujutsu Kaisen sorcerers didn’t confront the villains head-on. Instead, they came up with several contingency plans. The Shinjuku Showdown arc took a brief break from Sukuna’s raid and introduced the unconventional fight between Takaba and Kenjaku.
After Takaba’s death, Yuta steps in to kill the ancient sorcerer. After that, he and Rika also deal with the countless cursed spirits released due to Kenjaku’s death. They then join the battle against the strongest as soon as possible.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269 reveals that Todo also played a role in the fight. Maki says that she should have joined Yuta to fight Kenjaku. Todo reveals that Boogie Woogie wouldn’t have worked on her and it would have been a close call for Yuta without him.
However, this revelation isn’t shocking to fans thanks to a certain theory from November 2023. As one reader wrote, “Yuta is using Todo’s technique!! Before Yuta slit Kenjaku’s neck, you could hear “Kaan”. That’s the sound of 拍子木 (wooden clappers).
“Then Yuta and Kenjaku’s positions are reversed, as Yuta is between Takaba and Kenjaku after that. He copied Todo’s Boogie Woogie!!”
The theory was based on the “SFX” used in the panel. This post was shared before Todo joined the battle in chapter 259. After Todo’s arrival, the manga reveals how he uses his Boogie Woogie through a special tool called “Vibra-slap.”
After Todo joined the battle in May 2024, another popular translator shared: “Actually, Todo actually helped Yuta twice: 1) by switching Yuta and Kenjaku’s positions 2) by bringing Kenjaku’s head closer to Yuta so he could finish him off. In both cases, you can hear the sound of Todo’s Vibra-slap.”
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga will end in a few weeks, so find out when the latest chapter will be released. For more on the dark sorcery, take a look at JJK’s unsatisfying ending and our list of the 10 best fights.
