In chapter 206 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the struggle against Kenjaku soon turned bad as the villain employed a barrier-less Domain Expansion, disrupting Yuki and Tengen’s preparations to dispel it. When it appeared that Yuki’s injuries had rendered her helpless, Choso sneaked back into the fight and scored a devastating blow on Kenjaku. The official English translation of chapter 207 has been released, giving readers a more accurate view of the situation than the spoilers they had previously seen.
A brief review of important concepts from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 207
Strategy Choso
Chapter 207 of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled “Stars and Oil, Part 3,” began with a flashback of Yuki, Choso, and Tengen planning their attack. According to the Death Painting, Kenjaku would not open his domain if he thought Choso would enter the fight later since domains burnt away cursed tactics. He advised he battle the body-hopping sorcerer first, leading him to believe that the rest of the fight would be against simply Yuki Tsukumo. The plot was successful, and the villain was detained by Garuda’s weight as soon as he was shocked. Choso killed his “father” with a single, fatal blow using the technique of Piercing Blood at close range.
The actual appearance of Kenjaku is revealed to Choso and Yuki
In chapter 207 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku’s forehead opened up, revealing the brain inside, giving Yuki and Choso a glimpse of his actual form. Yuki saw the villain intentionally spin his head open to deflect the assault, but she couldn’t do anything since Star Rage was weakened by her wounds. She reasoned that Kenjaku, who was also weakened, would resort to such a tactic in order to keep up the pressure on Choso, with whom he was fighting in tandem. The body-hopping sorcerer, slowed by the shikigami, defended himself against the constant onslaught of physical strikes from the two combatants.
Yuki mends her wounds
Choso recognised Yuki needed to strengthen Star Rage in order to effectively immobilise Kenjaku, and she pushed the special-grade sorceress to restore her health. While Yuki used Reverse Cursed Technique to heal her broken arm and other wounds in chapter 207 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Star Rage was temporarily diminished, allowing Kenjaku to break out of Garuda’s grasp and flee. Yuki called forth the shikigami and began whipping it about like a weapon; with just one swing, he shattered the floor and walls of the Star Corridor. Choso attempted to ambush the villain by surrounding him with falling debris and hiding from him in the shadows. And while Yuki kept attacking with her cursed weapon infused with Star Rage, Kenjaku’s defensive attitude turned out to be deliberate, buying him time to restock his cursed skills.
Kenjaku stocks up on his venerable abilities
In chapter 207 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the sorcerer uses his Gravity technique, forcing everything in his near vicinity to crash to the floor. The Death Painting’s copious cursing can be attributed to its realisation that its earlier success in coercing the villain into using his domain had been rendered moot when Yuki’s shikigami and Choso were engulfed by the massive gravitational field. Yuki observed Kenjaku and deduced that the ancient sorcerer’s assaults had a range of two to three metres and stayed active for six seconds, during which time he defeated his opponent with Cursed Manipulation.
The high-level sorcerer reasoned that the villain’s strength would be sapped when he released the Reverse Cursed Technique, opened his domain, and battled Choso. Yuki was able to nearly escape at close range despite his Gravity owing to his Star Rage.
Damage done to Yuki by Kenjaku
Yuki kept attacking the bad guy, at first utilising Garuda and then switching to close-range physical strikes. In contrast, Kenjaku seizes the special-grade sorcerer’s arm in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 207, before aiming a small Uzumaki towards her face. Since Yuki did not notice the weight gain from Star Rage, the antagonist saw that her density had grown, but her tensile strength had not. After Yuki realised her error at the end of Chapter 207, Kenjaku released another little Uzumaki and tore right through her abdomen, while Choso screamed in fear.
Concluding Ideas
The action in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 207 was nonstop, and it was laced with nuggets of knowledge about the relative prowess of the two formidable combatants. This chapter displayed Yuki and Kenjaku’s analytical skills by demonstrating how they both employed sneak strikes and feints to draw their opponent’s guard down and land a killing blow.
The match also revealed that Yuki is the more aggressive fighter, opting for frontal assaults, whereas Kenjaku preferred to play down his capabilities for as long as possible, adapting and always having an ace under his sleeve. Despite the fact that Yuki’s ability to perform Reverse Cursed Technique implies she may survive, the cursed energy she’ll need to repair herself will undoubtedly deplete the special grade and swing the battle in Kenjaku’s favour.
