The lower-ranked entity killed the higher-ranked one. The record and the ladder disagree.

Yuta Okkotsu vs Kenjaku

1 places
The victimKenjakuJujutsu Kaisen · rank 3

A head comes off and the ladder still has the loser above the winner, which is not an error in either direction. Placement here is bought with terms, and the older of the two has been trading continuously since before the King of Curses was born, while the younger one paid a single time, as a child, in a promise about growing up and getting married. What the beheading actually buys is the equipment: the transplant is lifted off the corpse and put to use within a few chapters. The strongest argument against swapping them is that the winner had to become the loser to finish the job.

Promised a girl he would marry her when they grew up, and when a car killed her the promise came back as a special grade tied to him for life. Handed Rika the whole of himself on the grounds of the school, and with his own sword already broken it was her beam that burned the right side off Suguru Geto. Took Kenjaku's head off later, then moved into Gojo Satoru's corpse using the transplant technique he had lifted off Kenjaku on the way past.

Has worn a line of other people's skulls for something past a thousand years, most recently Suguru Geto's, and walked that face up to Gojo Satoru to shut him inside a box. Wrote the rules of the Culling Game and enrolled sorcerers in it who were given no say in the matter, then lost his head to a student who took the transplant technique off him and was wearing Gojo Satoru by the end.

What this does not settle

One death in one work. It is the only place the record puts these two in the same room, and it is evidence about that meeting and nothing wider — not a general matchup, not a rematch, and not a ranking of its own.

The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from one citation.

Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
