shower thought. ya think that kenny even needs to eat or sleep in his bodies? he a magical brain in a reanimated corpse, so could it just be his technique thats powering the body and he doesnt require normal human needs to keep it "living" for him? with the dude getting beheaded and hes still alive to yap with no lungs, that has me thinking he seriously could just exist as a head if he had somebody to carry him around. bro so freaky but cool haha
Hello, Starlight! Thanks for the question and for your patience.
From what little we see, Kenjaku still functions like a normal human. His Technique allows him to transplant his brain, so I imagine like any other organ transplant, it functions normally.
He feels sensations, bleeds, breathes, etc. We also get little crumbs about him watching TV, so he definitely just lives a normal life majority of the time when he's not scheming, which includes the usual stuff like eating, drinking, sleeping etc.
When Yūta cut Kenjaku's head off, I think it might've been a snake situation. Like when you decapitate a snake and they can still bite? Obviously this would be more extreme because Kenjaku could still talk, but I don't think he could live permanently as a head.
His brain always striked me as a lot hardier than most just on account of his Technique (and maybe him experimenting on himself) but I don't believe he's just living in constant sensory deprivation.
Especially because he's pretty hedonistic and loves living, so I imagine not being able to feel anything would be hell for someone like him who loves new experiences
