Jujutsu Kaisen: The Number One Villain
Kanou Shizumi looked at the several figures lying in pools of blood beside him, then glanced at the Four Calamities and Kenjaku standing before him. It took him about one second to accept reality. Bro, I think I’m dead. “The inspiration behind the Death Paintings came from observing corpses and reaching the state of emptiness. But what comes after that? To glimpse true reality within impurity... this is the Form of Purity I have comprehended.” “Wait, are you saying I’m one of Kenjaku’s experimental creations? A derivative work created after the Death Paintings?” “Oh, that’s actually impressive. It sounds incredible, but considering all the plans Kenjaku has set up, it seems like I’ll be spending this life working under him like a slave.” “But wait, what exactly is this [Optimal Misalignment System]?” “A system that helps me reclaim my body after possession? Huh, interesting.” “The greater the deviation from the original story, the stronger I become?” …… Watching the story completely stray from his expectations, Kenjaku’s brows slowly tightened. Why hadn’t Mahito awakened his Domain Expansion after being beaten down by two people for so long? Who was that person fighting Mahoraga in the Shibuya battlefield? Where was Yuji Itadori? What did it mean that he was forcibly controlled inside a pachinko parlor? What did it mean that the Sendai battlefield was hosting a huge party, and I had to guess which person without a Domain Expansion wasn’t invited? And why were Sukuna’s fingers always missing a few?! “So…” Kenjaku looked at Kano Shizumi, who was warming up in front of him, his expression complicated. “Since Sukuna still hasn’t gathered all his fingers, on the day of the appointed battle, you’ll go meet him first and stall for half an hour…” “Try to hold on, okay?” I’m fighting Gojo Satoru? How am I supposed to block a 200% Hollow Purple? “I’m going to die, aren’t I, Kenjaku?”
