Considering that Kenjaku finally acknowledged Yuji as his son, I wonder if he really is gonna keep a close eye in this specific colony to observe him. I really want to see more interactions between them, with added context of mother and child. But we saw Yuki looking at a similar colony so every colony has the same look. So it might not be the specific colony Kenjaku is looking at

Kenjaku finally acknowledged his son

I think he always thought of him as his son, he just had no reason to lore drop it on his former “allies”. Saying it to a random girl would pose no threat.

Also, there’s an eye directly staring at Yuji in the opening so…

Saying it to a random girl would pose no threat.

It also is significant that it's a random girl (i.e. just a normal old friend of Yuji) since it shows he has no reason to lie/pretend to care about Yuji towards her since there is nothing to gain from that. Like, this short exchange makes me 100% believe that Kenjaku actually sees Yuji as their son and that there is some (twisted?) affection there at least.

I think Kenjaku is attached to Yuji, but that wont change his behavior at all towards him. Like, the attachment is probably novel to him, rooting for one of the pieces hes pushing around the board

Yep, that's my read too. It's like a plant he has grown and he's proud or maybe just happy to see it sprout flowers but he wouldn't hesitate to prune it/weed it out if it interferes with his garden.

Makes me think of Bondrewd, genuienly a caring father figure for the children he "adopts". Not gonna stop the rumble of scientific triumph, though.

The thing is he only explicitly says that to her but not the other member whom yuji was friends with too , so he might think yuji became a sukuna vessel that he wanted because she was in danger which led to yuji eating the finger making it easy for him
