Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 72: Secrets of the Immortal
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 72 takes a bold detour from combat to world-building, giving readers long-awaited insight into Master Tengen, the immortal being whose existence underpins the balance of cursed energy across Japan. And what Tengen reveals? It’s game-changing.
Following Yuji’s staged execution by Yuta, the group retreats to a secret underground location — Tengen’s hidden chamber. There, Yuta, Panda, Inumaki, and a now-recovering Yuji meet the mysterious immortal face-to-face.
Tengen doesn’t waste time. He dives straight into exposition that reframes everything we thought we knew. First, he confirms that the barrier techniques across Japan are maintained by his presence, and any disruption to his consciousness could lead to total collapse of the jujutsu system.
Then comes the real bombshell: Kenjaku’s plan isn’t just about chaos — it’s about merging Tengen with humanity. Using cursed objects, vessels, and ancient techniques, Kenjaku intends to bring about a new era where all humans are forced into cursed evolution.
Tengen, once thought to be a neutral force, now begs for their intervention. Despite being immortal, even he can’t stop Kenjaku alone.
Yuji listens silently, processing not only the revelations, but also his role in this cosmic chess match. As Sukuna’s vessel, he isn’t just a cursed tool — he may be one of the few capable of opposing the merger due to his resilience against cursed manipulation.
Meanwhile, Yuta keeps watch, aware that if this plan is exposed, both he and Yuji may be hunted again. Their alliance is fragile, but their cause is growing larger than any individual.
Gege Akutami expertly blends lore, suspense, and emotional recovery into this transitional chapter. Chapter 72 is a calm before another storm — and this time, the battle might not just be against curses, but against fate itself.
