Maybe he has a little soft spot for the Kamo clan, considering he once took the body of Noritoshi Kamo

That's what all the baddies say!

It just seems silly to leave a loose end that is going to go help people like Itadori who might pose a danger to you.

They might not pose a danger. Like he wants Itadori alive.

Looking at the old man in the Kamo clan, I wonder if a benefit to being blood benders is longevity. If he's 150+ years old he's ancient.

I think it's believable in character. Kenjaku just has the perspective that the threat they pose is on par with what an ant poses to a normal person. You'd think someone was crazy if they took time to stamp on every ant they saw. It's just as a reader we're familiar with the Bond trope and so can easily imagine this ant coming back to cause him trouble some day; but then that highlights how skewed Kenjaku's perspective really is.

Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
Kenjaku seems quite conflict avoidant in general, I think this is like the... Third time we've seen him go out of his way not to fight someone.

Gege really knows how to make some deeply unsettling monster designs, and knows how to frame the designs that would otherwise be kind of forgettable to make them very imposing. This is really cool.

She's not even the problem here. Naoya is such a load on the story and he's her arch nemesis so of course he drags everything down with him. Dude is so 1-note even Dagon had more personality and character to him.

Chapters like this remind me of Bleach when you'd get into those multi fight sections and you cut away from the good poo poo to see like the 2nd least popular arrancar fight the third least popular SS vice captain or something.

I love Maki though, just wish she was involved with something a bit more engaging!

I knew Naoya's new design reminded me of something, nice catch. And yeah, this is what, the 4th or 5th long fight in a row with no breaks between? The fatigue is setting in.

I like Maki but I feel like she should be a lot more effective in this fight considering she's Toji 2.0, who was basically King of Kick rear end Moutain after Gojo

I don’t even mind the fight, it’s just not as engaging or as easy to follow as the last one. Also I just want to see the plot advance a bit.

Hanami’s death was the saddest in the manga and the crow lady is cool, but since I know maki is gonna win this is just cursed residue from the boring 5 chapter run of perfect preparation

rereading the chapter, maki's expression on the last spread reads less like "augh, i perish" and more like "this cocky son of a bitch" so i'm hoping she cracks him like a peanut next chapter instead of letting him turn into an evil butterfly or something

i know this had been foreshadowed and all but the way he died originally was excellent and this feels like gilding the lily

Yeah my assumption here is that it's obvious speeding up to catch him won't work, so why not wait until he hits one of them; then just loving grab him and smash him like a walnut.

Gege may be using Naoya to show what happens when sorcerers turn into cursed spirits to introduce the 3 big Vengeful Spirits into the story line. They may even be Kenjaku's rumoured "bomb". The 3 big jujutsu families are most likely descended from them, with Gojo and Yuta being related to Michizane Sugawara.

I think that was the plan, it just failed here cause he was so fast.
