Jujutsu sorcerer

plot 1

During the Nara Period, Master Tengen spread Japanese Buddhism and preached what would become the foundation for jujutsu sorcerers.[1] Over the various years as Tengen grew older they went merged with multiple Star Plasma Vessel's. Gojo's Past Arc In the modern age, Master Tengen does not interact with the outside world. They use a barrier technique to protect both jujutsu schools and strengthen all auxiliary managers' barrier techniques. Their immortality-cursed technique must be reset once their body reaches a certain age. The technique will attempt to change bodies, forcibly evolving Tengen to a higher state, losing their will and potentially making them an enemy to humanity. To prevent this, every five hundred years, Master Tengen must merge with a compatible star plasma vessel to rewrite their body's information. Once the body is refreshed, the cursed technique will also be reset. In 2006, the Star Plasma Vessel was Riko Amanai. Two groups targeted the girl; the curse user group Q, who aimed to overturn the jujutsu world by having Tengen lose all reason, and the Time Vessel Association, the star religious group that worshipped Tengen as their deity. To ensure Riko's safety, Master Tengen had Masamichi Yaga assign his students Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto to escort the girl to Jujutsu High before the merger on the full moon.[2] Riko is ultimately assassinated by Toji Fushiguro, who was contracted by the Time Vessel Association to kill the girl and prevent the impure merger. Even so, Master Tengen was somehow able to stabilize according to Yuki Tsukumo.[3]

Synopsis Perfect Preparation Arc When Yuki and Yuji, Megumi, Maki, Yuta, and Choso enter the shrine and find nothing, Yuta tells them to leave because Tsumiki doesn't have time. However, just then, Master Tengen appears and greets them. Yuki confronts Tengen, asking why he did not say hello to her, to which Tengen replies that it wasn't the first time they've met. Tengen admits that he closed the Tomb of the Star corridor to them because they feared they were aligned with Kenjaku. Tengen reveals that Kenjaku was the sorcerer who was once Noritoshi Kamo but now has inhabited Suguru Geto's body. Yuji interrupts to ask why Tengen looks the way they do and is told by Tengen with amusement that while Tengen is immortal, he continues to age, and therefore Yuji would look the same after 500 years. Tengen explains to the group that 11 years prior, they failed to merge with a Star Plasma Vessel and were unable to prevent their cursed technique from evolving due to his advanced age. Tengen's individual awareness has degraded while they have, to an extent, become a part of the whole world. Megumi and Yuta interrupt the conversation asking about Kenjaku's objectives and how to open the Prison Realm. Tengen explains that while they would like to agree to help unconditionally, they must require that Yuki Tsukumo, Yuta Okkotsu, and or Choso remain as his two guards. Yuta wonders why they need two guards if Tengen is immortal, while Maki asks if it's because of the seal. Yuki objects to this, saying they haven't told them why and how long they need to do it. Tengen explains Kenjaku's objective: to force the evolution of humankind throughout Japan. When Megumi wonders why Kenjaku didn't do this with idle transfiguration in Tokyo, Tengen explains that Kenjaku lacks the cursed energy to do so and that Kenjaku's chosen method is to forcibly merge the human population with Tengen, whose newly evolved state into becoming a part of all things can allow him to merge with beings other th

Tengen, Yuki, and Choso strategized in anticipation of Kenjaku's arrival. Aware the battle will take place in the empty barriers above the Tombs of the Star, Tengen wants Kenjaku to feel comfortable there because he's a powerful barrier user and can manipulate the environment. The primary objective of their joint strategy is to get Kenjaku to expand his domain and take advantage of it burning out his cursed techniques. While Kenjaku's cursed techniques are unusable, it's the group's hope that Yuki can best him. Choso suggests he fight Kenjaku to force him to use his domain but Tengen and Yuki suggest using Yuki to bait out Kenjaku's domain and then Tengen will dispel it by destroying the empty barrier, then he'll be vulnerable to a two-on-one attack.[8][9][10] Kenjaku finds Tengen Tengen's real body is seized by Kenjaku On November 16, Yuki talks to Tengen surrounding the circumstances of the merger after Riko Amanai's death. Tengen explains that there were other vessels to complete the Merger but none with the potential of Riko. Yuki angrily criticizes Tengen's passiveness regarding the merger and reveals that she was also a former Star Plasma Vessel as well and can still hear the voices of the previous vessels inside Tengen, but she refuses to tell Tengen what they're saying. Shortly after, Kenjaku infiltrates the star corridor.[11] This leads to a two on one battle against Kenjaku, within the the battle Yuki calls for Tengen to enact their plan to counter his domain, Tengen tries to target the edge of the area of effect for Womb Profusion's can't-miss attack but they're just moments too late as Yuki's simple domain is destroyed and she's hit. Tengen appears and gets Kenjaku's attention long enough for Yuki to grab his ankle. Kenjaku tells her to die already when suddenly he feels the pressure of being sucked into a powerful vacuum. Yuki continues to add mass to herself until she morphs into a Black Hole that appears to suck Kenjaku in. The black hole expands, bu

Kenjaku seizes Tengen and completes his pre-prep for the merger.[14] Following Sukuna and Kenjaku's deaths and the effective failure of the merger, remnants of Tengen where discovered among the remains of Sukuna following his expulsion from Megumi Fushiguro. Yoshinobu Gakuganji opted to preserve Sukuna's remains in order to keep up Tengen's barriers around Japan for the time being until countermeasures and alternatives could be found.[15]
