* {{Hunk}}: He is a tall and handsome man with the muscular build of a bodybuilder.

* {{Expy}}: To Medusa from ''Manga/SoulEater'', both being centuries-old [[MadScientist Mad Scientists]] that utilize malevolent forces for their own ends (Madness and Insanity, Cursed Energy and Curses Spirits), are mainly responsible for a good chunk of the series (Medusa freeing the Kishin, Geto setting up and creating the Culling Games), were involved in the existence of a major character whom they both gave birth to (Crona, Yuji and the Cursed Paintings, with Yuji having a foreign entity implanted into him that gives him his power and the Paintings having blood-themed abilities like the former) as part of an experiment on top of needing to possess someone's body for their continued plans, with the ultimate goal of bringing mankind to the [[EvilutionaryBiologist next stage of evolution]] by summoning or creating a monster of immense power (The Kishin and the Merger respectively). There's also the fact that Kenjaku's death is extremely reminiscent of Medusa's "[[NotQuiteDead death]]" at the hands of [[spoiler:Stein]]. Both villains are caught off-guard and then dismembered in one fell swoop but, right when it seems like they've lost, both of them manage to one-up the heroes at the last second. They're immediately defeated in a stab to the forehead, but it's rendered moot as both villains die in glee, assured of their ultimate victory.

* TheBadGuyWins: He's the only true victor of the Shibuya Incident Arc, accomplishing all of his goals with little hassle. Gojo is sealed in the Prison Realm, Tokyo is oversaturated with Cursed Energy and an ensuing outbreak of Curse Spirit, he's disposed of all allies he no longer needs, and the Jujutsu Council folds neatly into his grasp mere days after the incident. With the deck stacked in his favor, Kenjaku focuses his full attention on his next scheme – the Culling Game.

* TheBadGuyWins: He comes out of the The Shibuya Incident as the only true victor, which is saying a lot. Gojo gets locked up indefinitely in the Prison Realm, much of Tokyo is left oversaturated with Cursed Energy, allowing Cursed Spirits to run wild, and the Jujutsu council folds neatly into his grasp mere days after the Incident occured, allowing Kenjaku to focus his full attention on his next scheme – the Culling Game.

* ItAmusedMe: Why Kenjaku does anything at all. He's motivated entirely by morbid curiosity, so while he may not know exactly what fruit his plans will bear, he's intent on seeing them through because he just wants to see what happens.

* ItAmusedMe: The crux of why Kenjaku does anything at all. He's motivated entirely by morbid curiosity, so while he may not know exactly what fruit his plans will bear, he's intent on seeing them through because he just wants to see what happens.

* EvilutionaryBiologist: Kenjaku wants to optimize Cursed Energy and bring forth the peak of its potential, which he believes can't be found in humans as they are as he has already pushed that limit as far as it can go [[RefugeInAudacity through viscious experimentation]] and allying with several cases of WorldsBestWarrior throughout the ages. To fix this, he's willing to commit abhorrent acts and has already been doing so in the shadows for centuries, and by the time of the main series, he's not above plunging the whole world into chaos in the name of discovering the next stage of humanity.

* {{Familiar}}: He's gained this technique thanks to using the original Suguru's body. He has a greater handicap with it than Suguru in his prime, however, thanks to the original Geto losing all his curses in his battle with Yuta. On the other hand, Kenjaku is considerably more wizened and willing to experiment with the technique, meaning he's even more effective then the original, not to mention his age and experience has seen him gather a number of Curses of equal if not greater power than Geto's elite.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Kenjaku is rarely ever angry, spiteful or cold, and keeps up a relaxed persona around allies and enemies alike. He expresses admiration for enemy sorcerers during combat, and even rambles at Yuji about the specifics of his technique, giving the impression of a playful MadScientist finally able to put all his wildest theories to the test. Despite having manipulated the Disaster Curses for his goals and planning to dispose of them in the end, he's nothing but courteous, patient, and amicable around them, even relaxing and playing games with them from time to time. Then it's revealed that he wants to merge all non-Sorcerers into eternal agony for his own amusement, revealing his true colors.

* MeaningfulName: "Kenjaku" is the name of a mystical rope in Buddhist mythology used by the goddess of mercy Kannon to drag the souls of men onto the path of enlightenment, just as Kenjaku himself pulls sorcerers into conflict in the hopes of forcing them to grow stronger and "evolve". It's also phonetically identical to a portmandeau for "Evil Sage".

** While they'd never admit it to Sukuna, [[spoiler:they admit that Yuji might have the same potential as Sukuna himself]]. Coming from Uraume, that's probably the biggest compliment possible.

* WorldsBestWarrior: One of the most powerful characters in the story, but with the very important caveat that he doesn't have ''any'' cursed energy. Thanks to his heavenly pact, Toji has superhuman strength, speed and senses on top of a naturally acquired affinity with weapons and cursed tools. Capable of even killing high level Special Grades and sorcerers alike, he's acknowledged by [[WordOfGod Gege Akutami]] to be the strongest around. Toji also has the distinct honor of being the man who [[spoiler: almost killed Satoru Gojo]], a feat no other can claim...That is until [[BigBad Ryomen Sukuna]] shows up.

* OhCrap: While they don't say anything, Uraume inwardly notes that [[spoiler:Yuji Itadori being the son of the reincarnation of Sukuna's twin and thus might rival ''Sukuna himself'' in potential]] is ''not'' a good thing, even though Sukuna seems to be pretty laid back about the whole affair.

* VillainRespect: Uraume chides modern-day sorcerers for trying too hard to preserve their humanity while fighting, their fear of alienation leaving them weaker than they could be. However, upon witnessing [[spoiler:Hakari]] fight without a care for his safety or survival, Uraume acknowledges they no longer see him as (merely) human and declares they will crush their opponent [[IAmNotLeftHanded with everything they have]].

* MonsterProtectionRacket: It's heavily implied Suguru curses wealthy non-sorcerers so that they donate handsomely to hi:s church in exchange for being "cured." In reality, it only buys these people time and when the curses "returns" they either keep paying Suguru for a cure or Suguru lets his curses finally kill them, as shown by letting his curses violently kill a former donor, Kanemori, when his funds dried up.

** He kept a familiar on his person, knowing that when Gojo would focus on it and notice that Toji himself [[ICantSenseTheirPresence produced no Cursed Energy whatsoever]], he would work up a horde of fly heads to attack nearby so that he could hide amongst the swarm and land a decisive sneak attack.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Toji only ever appears alive in one arc, yet he has a '''massive''' impact on the story and characters of Jujutsu Kaisen, both directly and indirectly. Toji is continuously brought up long after his death, either because his actions had a ripple effect on the plot or because his actions prompt internal change in other characters.
