From the outset of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori's entry into the world of sorcery seemed like a serendipitous accident. However, as the story progresses, intriguing evidence suggests that his involvement may have been meticulously orchestrated by an ancient sorcerer named Kenjaku. This fan theory proposes that Kenjaku, who aims to reshape humanity through cursed power, has been pulling the strings from the shadows, ensuring that Yuji becomes the vessel for the fearsome curse, Sukuna.
Kenjaku possesses a unique cursed technique that allows him to transplant his consciousness into different bodies, assuming their identities and living their lives. Victims of his possession bear signature stitches across their foreheads, a telltale sign of the mind transplant. One such victim was Noritoshi Kamo, whose identity was taken over by Kenjaku, leading to the creation of the Cursed Womb: Death Painting.
Notably, Itadori's innate ability to suppress Sukuna, one of the most powerful curses, raised suspicions from the start. As a 15-year-old student with no prior knowledge of cursed energy, he demonstrated extraordinary control over Sukuna. The fan theory suggests that Itadori may be a half-curse/half-human hybrid, with Kenjaku as his true parent, explaining his ability to withstand Sukuna's influence.
Although specific details about Itadori's family remain undisclosed, the fact that he possesses significant strength, enough to resist Kenjaku's cursed technique and cursed energy, fuels speculation about his true origins. Kenjaku's willingness to manipulate the entire Jujutsu world to fulfill his ambitions and his involvement in creating cursed hybrids, including Itadori, further supports this theory.
While Itadori's decision to consume Sukuna's finger to gain power and save his friend Megumi Fushiguro may appear voluntary, it is plausible that Kenjaku orchestrated the situation to set Itadori on the path to becoming Sukuna's vessel. Kenjaku's endgame likely involves Sukuna regaining his full power, taking over Itadori's body, and helping the ancient sorcerer restore his vision of a golden age of Jujutsu.
The antagonists in Jujutsu Kaisen are known for their well-thought-out plans, capable of executing them with precision. Even formidable characters like Gojo Satoru have been caught off guard by the devastating events orchestrated by Kenjaku during the "Shibuya" and "Culling Game" arcs.
As fans await further revelations about Itadori's past, the theory of Kenjaku manipulating his life and destiny adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the story. Whether this theory holds true or not, one thing remains certain: the world of Jujutsu Kaisen is full of mysteries, and the true nature of Itadori's involvement in the sorcery society is yet to be fully unveiled.
