The Eternal Schemer: Unraveling Kenjaku's Machinations in 'Morto Vivo - Kenjaku (Jujutsu Kaisen)'
Basara's 'Morto Vivo - Kenjaku (Jujutsu Kaisen)' delves into the complex and sinister mind of Kenjaku, a character from the popular manga and anime series 'Jujutsu Kaisen.' The song's lyrics explore themes of immortality, manipulation, and the blurred lines between life and death. Kenjaku, a sorcerer who has lived for centuries by transferring his soul into different bodies, is portrayed as a master manipulator, orchestrating events from the shadows to achieve his enigmatic goals.
The lyrics highlight Kenjaku's fascination with the evolution of humans and curses, as he seeks to merge the two to create a new form of existence. This is evident in lines like 'Vou forçar a evolução, misturando humanos / Junto a maldições, assimilação.' Kenjaku's actions are driven by curiosity and a desire to witness the outcomes of his experiments, rather than any moral or ethical considerations. This detachment from conventional human emotions is further emphasized when he states, 'O porquê faço tudo isso é insignificante / Mas se fosse pra responder, acho que é porque / Eu acho isso tudo muito interessante.'
The song also touches on Kenjaku's various identities and the confusion they cause among his adversaries. He has taken on multiple appearances, including Noritoshi Kamo and Suguru Geto, making it difficult for others to discern his true nature. This theme of deception is encapsulated in the recurring line, 'Sou só um corpo morto / Que tal olhar de novo? / Será que sou quem você pensa? / Nem notou a diferença?' Kenjaku's ability to manipulate and control others, even in death, underscores his role as a formidable antagonist in the 'Jujutsu Kaisen' universe.
'Morto Vivo - Kenjaku (Jujutsu Kaisen)' is a deep dive into the psyche of a character who thrives on chaos and manipulation. The song's intricate lyrics and dark themes provide a compelling portrayal of Kenjaku's relentless pursuit of his twisted vision, making it a captivating piece for fans of the series and those intrigued by complex villainy.
