This even is something that Kenjaku and Sukuna knew for themselves as while fans last saw Kenjaku facing off against Yuta Okkotsu, it appears that Yuta was successful at taking down the threat. Due to Yuta defeating Kenjaku, Sukuna is now the final one who is moving forward with the ultimate plan for the Culling Game.

JJK: Kenjaku and Sukuna’s Back Up Plan

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 248 reveals that Yuji and Higuruma’s plan to take down Sukuna was unsuccessful and Sukuna was able to survive a strike from the Executioner’s Sword. As the fight continues, Sukuna only grows more frustrated as Yuji refuses to give up. It’s something that he’s coming to terms with during the fight itself, and decides to fully steer into this anger and just destroy the world. It’s here that he activates a new rule of the Culling Game, and gives himself the authority to activate the final Culling Game merger with Tengen. 

It’s here that the others realize that Yuta must have defeated Kenjaku, and Sukuna was given the power to merge the mass with Tengen as a failsafe. Sukuna declares that he’s going to merge it with Tengen, kill the rest of the Culling Game players, and then fight Tengen when all is said and done. He wants to completely destroy Yuji’s hope, and thus take out the rest of humanity along with him in the process.
