In Jujutsu Kaisen, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of Cursed Techniques and Domains is essential in grasping the power dynamics between sorcerers. This becomes evident when Kenjaku effectively utilizes his domain, resulting in a temporary cooldown of Cursed Spirit Manipulation, while Yuta, despite his skill, experiences a different consequence.
This inconsistency suggests that Kenjaku might have utilized a Binding Vow to modify the way his Body Hop Cursed Technique functions. In contrast to Yuta, who only absorbs information from copied techniques, Kenjaku’s potential employment of a Binding Vow could clarify his distinct advantage, exposing a more intricate level of strategy and self-sacrifice.
Jujutsu Kaisen: The Enigma of Kenjaku’s Domain and Techniques

When Kenjaku activated his domain, his Cursed Technique, Cursed Spirit Manipulation, was on cooldown. However, when Yuta, inhabiting Gojo’s body, utilized a domain, it was Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique that was on cooldown. This leads to speculation about the disparity between the two instances and the possibility of Yuta’s lack of skill being a contributing factor.

Despite all of Kenjaku’s techniques being on cooldown, his body-hop Cursed Technique remained available. This indicates that Yuta’s struggle was not due to his skill, but rather a deliberate manipulation by Kenjaku.
According to theory, Kenjaku employs a Binding Vow to alter the functionality of his body-hopping technique. Rather than requiring constant activation, Kenjaku may have adjusted the technique to only need a single activation or intermittent activation for it to be effective.
The specific details of his sacrifice for the Binding Vow remain a mystery. Yuki’s speculation suggests that he may have given up the potential to acquire a fourth technique in his mind in order to modify the body-hopping terms. Alternatively, he may only be capable of body-hopping under specific and stringent circumstances.

Yuta’s ability to absorb knowledge about Cursed Techniques when he mimics them suggests that Kenjaku utilized a technique beyond the usual realm of Cursed Techniques, possibly an external Binding Vow. As Yuta would not have been aware of this, it rules out the possibility of any skill-related error on his part.
The stitches on Kenjaku’s body, which are a result of his unspecified Binding Vow, hold great significance as indicated by his character data. It is worth noting that Yuta also has stitches, but this does not necessarily mean that he made the same Binding Vow or fully comprehends the purpose of Kenjaku’s stitches.

It is clear that Kenjaku’s utilization of a Binding Vow is an essential factor in the operation of his Cursed Techniques. This sets him apart from Yuta and eliminates any suggestion of Yuta lacking skill.
Final Thoughts
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Kenjaku’s success in contrast to Yuta’s perceived failure can be attributed to his shrewd utilization of a Binding Vow. By manipulating the parameters of his body-swapping ability, Kenjaku utilized unconventional methods beyond traditional Cursed Techniques, showcasing his cleverness and ingenuity in accomplishing his goals.
