After Jujustu Kaisen Chapter 242, fans are going crazy on a particular panel, Kenjaku wearing a nurse outfit. Not only did we just get one of the funniest chapters in all of Jujutsu Kaisen, but we also got some incredible feats for both characters.
Both for Kenjaku while he summons a new special-grade cursed spirit and as well as Tabaka where his reality manipulation truly has no bounds. It’s even one showing a special-grade cursed villain so much funnier.
This chapter was absolutely Peak fiction and we just really need to talk about it, as there is a scene of Kenjaku wearing a nurse dress, which has now become the talk of the town for all the Jujutsu Kaisen fans.

It’s not new that we are seeing Jujutsu Kaisen fans making fun of something and enjoying every chapter delivered by Gege (except for chapter 236, “When I Catch You Gege”).
First, we had fans making every character scenario of the “I’d win” template of Gojo, and now they are messing around with the Kenjaku nurse outfit, which is hilarious to read. But before we get into the context of how Kenjaku became an international meme, let’s see how it started.
How did Kenjaku become an International Meme?
Takaba’s imagination brings different scenes to light. First, Tabaka easily defeats Kenjaku’s special grade curse using a truck. He then turns both of them into police officers to investigate the accident.
After that, the scene shifts to a hospital with both of them playing the part of the doctors. Next, we see Kenjaku dressed up as a nurse.

After constantly changing scenarios, Kenjaku realizes that not only does Takaba’s technique allow him to manifest anything from his imagination, but it also affects the opponent’s imagination.
Kenjaku thinks it’s fun and feels glad to start the culling game. However, the next moment he realizes his thoughts are again getting manipulated by Takaba’s technique.
Kenjuku figures out how powerful Takaba truly is in Jujutsu Kaizen chapter 242. Finally, he thinks now’s the time to end things and suits up before taking Takaba on a stage with him.

Fans Enjoying Seeing Kenjaku as a Nurse
So this started when the leaks for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 242 started coming up. There are many funny moments in the chapter, as we talk about earlier. However, nurse Kenjaku was the one we didn’t expect at all.
Fans have been going crazy on Twitter / X Simping for Nurse Kenjaku. Like its not just a couple of hundred fans, but thousands of fans are talking about it. Fans even started making fan art of Nurse Geto.

This isn’t just the only one we have there are still a lot more than this. I think even Gege wouldn’t have thought Nurse Kenjaku would make this impact on the fandom. Fans are now literally Simping for Nurse Kenjaku.

Nurse Kenjaku splits the Jujutsu Kaisen Fandom in Chapter 242 & Everyone is Blown Away
This is just amazing that fans are enjoying the moment. However, there is never only a good side to something, and it is similar in Nurse Kenjaku’s scene. Even though some fans are enjoying this, there are also some fans criticizing Gege and fandom.
First, we have some fans criticizing Gege for drawing Kenjaku as a Nurse. They think that he has ruined the image of one the greatest villains of Jujutsu Kaisen by making him a nurse and that he has made a joke of his own work.
STOP CALLING IT FEM NURSE GETO IT’S FUCKING KENJAKU I HATE YOU ALL

For these fans, all I have to say is that they must have never read Jujutsu Kaisen or they just don’t pay attention to what’s going on in the story. From the beginning of the Manga, we have seen Kenjaku more as a chill guy than a prominent villain, like we have seen him calm in entire series, and there was also a scene where he was chilling out on the beach.
So It wasn’t new seeing a Jujutsu Kaisen villain not acting as one. Secondly, Tabaka’s cursed technique is to make comedy out of someone, so it’s natural that we are seeing them messing around. However, this fun will end soon once Kenjaku figures out how to undo Takaba’s cursed technique.
