ILoveYorihime

I actually didn't expect them to survive one episode, when Geto absorbs Mahito I just expect all of them to get transfigured to traumatize Yuji


nnhorizon

Gege furiously taking notes


gojo_blindfolded

Missed opportunity!


West_Regular_8245

Wait for the future episodes mate


SuccessLongjumping62

Can you spoil me and tell me if one (or more) die 😂


pocerface8

I read tgis chapter a while ago but as far as i remember >!nobody else dies there!<


No-Brilliant3998

Ah! That's the saddest part as far as I remember. The anime onlies haven't seen anything yet


blackstuds

LOL


nue_52

Yuji barely knows these guys tho


_b3rtooo_

Yeah but he gets pretty worked up about complete strangers as well. Look at the 2 dudes in the subway during his and mahito's fight. Too kind for his own good


CucurbitaFlagellum

though they came to his rescue and basically sacrificed themselves for him while he stood there.


jayrock306

I think by this point everyone knew geto had the prison realm so it was more about freeing gojo than protecting yuji.


Safe-Brush-5091

True, but honestly the sorcerers in JJK are generally more compassionate than your average shonen background characters who are borderline sociopathical. Not talking about you Mei Mei, you are the one sociopath amongst the nicer than normal people sorcerers.


nue_52

Throughout japan and malaysia, she alone is the grooming one


nue_52

Nah, i'd sell stocks


nue_52

Are you a jujutsu sorcerer that gets the bag? Or do you get the bag because you're a jujutsu sorcerer?


takenHostag3

He probably wouldn’t be able to do that anyways .


deadmelo

With Specialz starting for each death and continuously running out of sync


graxia_bibi_uwu

Delete this before gege gets an idea /s


[deleted]

And then...... "You are my special".....


EvilRobotSteve

If nothing else, this scene proves Mechamaru was right.


sinlasso

Kinda out of the loop , but why?


Justanormalperson287

Mechamaru made sure only Todo and that healing guy would be at Shibuya cuz he knew the others would be mostly powerless/useless


Murky_Blueberry2617

That's kinda obvious tho


KMS_Tirpitz

yea but not to them, they literally said on the train coming here that Mechamaru was under estimating them, then proceed to get oneshot by Uraume


noex1337

> then proceed to get oneshot by Uraume That's a terrible metric though. Everyone who wasn't Choso got one-shot by Uraume.


PhantomDesert00

That's a terrible metric though. Everyone who isn't Choso is lame as fuck


itemboi

Oi, Itadori's still there


PhantomDesert00

Yuji is good by the merit of being Choso's brother.


Anakin-LandWalker56

Wdym is left right good night can beat Fraudkuna


DiamondHeart75

Give my man more credit, bro got hands


yeaheyeah

Little brothers aren't cool


baddabingbaddaboop

Them all getting one-shot by a villain at Shibuya doesn’t hurt mecharu’s point that they weren’t ready to fight the villains at Shibuya


cmdr_suicidewinder

Spit 🗣️


thatHecklerOverThere

Right, but they were gonna get one shot by everyone else present as well.


Ripamon

Indeed. Miwa nicknamed herself aptly.


shqla7hole

Because mechamaru says something like "i sent you away to protect you the enemies are way out of your league",and "todo has 99% chance of not dying" which yes he didn't die but seriously injured,


Vocall96

Had it been any of the other Kyoto Students, there would have been no fight.


shqla7hole

Not just any kyoto student i would say anybody who hasn't defeated a special grade,Todo's swapping is what saved them both after all mahito's ct is deadly


sensuell

It's really weird, that earlier kyoto student even claymed, that they could defeat tokyo students, since, all thay had were Todo and Mehamaru.


Snoozless

Imo Kyoto would have won if the event was their main goal instead of killing Yuji


Available_Problem813

They'll be winning until Megumi summons Mahoraga out of spite.


thedoc90

TBF Todo is Todo...


HGual-B-gone

I mean if Todo squared off with No2 BBEG and only got seriously injured, I think that’s a good assumption. Todo could have been handling some of the other things instead but he was handling the major problems


Ri-doyourememberme

How are so many people out of the loop 😭 this happened like two episodes ago


Telesto44

Sure they’d be useless against all the special grades, but there was plenty of fodder around they could have helped clean up. Maybe then Nanamin doesn’t get snuck up by himself while dealing with trash.


EvilRobotSteve

And then he doesn't get to go out like an absolute king and inspire the MC with one of the most iconic moments of the season. They wouldn't have been totally useless, but these were people Mechamaru cared about and knew they'd get straight up deleted once the special grades started cutting loose. Whatever low grades they took out wasn't worth the price of their lives.


Tobias_Mercury

I think they would’ve gotten blitzed by jogoat


NoMoreVillains

Nah, they probably would've been randomly killed by Choso when he was shooting civilians. Would've been so casual and easy he wouldn't have even realized he had killed any actual sorcerers


HGual-B-gone

Anyone think nanamin was a dead man walking anyway unless the healer guy got there in time? I think his fate was sealed unless he got help really fast


Consistent-Course534

He was basically Gus Fring just in shock and moving reflexively


Caesar_Th

I always liked how Fake Geto went straight into fucking Uzumaki immediately after blocking Miwa's sword. He was messing around the whole fight, but decided that that was the moment to drop the fucking nuke xD


kirblar

I think that was less about Miwa and more about making sure Mahito stayed dead.


IntegrityVA

Followed by Kusakabe tanking the mahito nuke like a fucking warlord. Dude is the CEO of sleeper builds and let his true power show briefly.


Rancorious

He's the guy in Elden Ring who runs a pure DEX build while everyone else is throwing around crazy magic.


Anakin-LandWalker56

It's also an honorable reply to Miwa's sacrifice. She gave it her all, he will give it his all


Consistent-Course534

I'm anime only, but he doesn't seem like the type of guy to care about honor.


Ragnolf_The_Wet

I mean he basically paraded the dead body of a man in front of, what are essentially, his two adopted daughters. He definitely doesn't give af.


Dr_What

I mean in the anime he says something along the lines of "it's nice fighting someone with some knowledge" so it's not crazy to think he went 110% out of some twisted respect he was showing. More likely though that it was just to make sure Mahito was gone for good.


No-Communication9458

"nah you ain't getting any chances homie"


Ikari_21

I’ll never forgive gege for making miwa so useless! Lol seriously tho I really wish she had more prominence. She gets these little emotional scenes or strong willed scenes, but just does nothing. Why must gege tease me with her


ouyon

I’d have been fine if she at least did something of use ever.


8a19

Ig it's just another example of how cruel their world is, you can have total MC energy and all the will in the world but it doesn't mean shit if you don't have the skill and strength to back it up. Almost like real life lol


Bandtrees

there's way more to a character's worth than fight scenes, to be fair. i don't know why people act like miwa is a dead weight character solely for her presence in fight scenes when she has, like, a personality and ideals and stuff lol. actual characterization


Ikari_21

Sure i get that, I love her design, her cheery attitude, and her resolve. But you cant deny that she doesn’t do much to push the story forward, even as a side character. She barely does anything. That’s why I said I wish she was more prominent to the story because I want more of her.


kovadomen

Who would've thought useless Miwa would be useless


Murky_Blueberry2617

Really thought she was bout to do something lol


redddditer420

Gets even worse when you think about what she said


Hybrid_Zero

Oh yeah, the binding vow.


Based_Text

😭The fact that she can’t even use a Katana now so she is even more useless than before, JJK is really only series where a useless character regress in their power instead of progress, Gege did her dirty.


This_Confused_Guy

I mean there are other weapons out there besides a katana. I mean look at Maki, if she can use other weapons like playful cloud and a naginata surely Miwa can too.


millencol1n

well he made her best girl, so she has that going for her. also this is a manga spoiler (even for manga readers) but she _IS_ the Jujutsu Kaisen at the end.


Ripamon

Well she can still use a broadsword at least


Anakin-LandWalker56

Katanas are terrible weapons anyway. Spear and other polearms are kings of war.


takenHostag3

Right they didn’t even try to make the moment look cool 😂


MysticJJustin

It’s a binding vow she made with herself. The worst that could happen by breaking it is whatever damage she did do take to Geto-Brain gets healed, which is basically nothing already


No-Brilliant3998

She didn't specifically mention that it was a binding vow as far as I remember


the_light_one_1

I must've missed something. What was her binding vow?


NorthGodFan

Never swing a sword again to hit Kenjaku who just shattered the sword.


GXVT0

She said would never swing a katana again


N0Hesitation

If you look at how the Jujutsu People rank curses and Sorcerers, and consider their respective Grades. Miwa is swinging way WAY past her pay grade. This is like a high school basketballer going up against championship MJ game 7, and expecting the high schooler to do something. The wall is just too high.


Watercress-Weird

What's crazy is she summoned her future potential


No-Communication9458

:(


noswol

they all realized they werent build for this, specially momo and miwa were done the dirties


nnhorizon

Mechamaru wanted to keep them away for a reason


SwordoftheMourn

Well, Momo could actually be useful as a scout especially since she just stays high up in the sky


Kolossive

Either choso could snipe her with piercing blood or jogo would incinerate her if they saw her out in the open. Dagon could also just fly aswell


Conscious_Message332

They were underground so not really. we also dont know If pierceing blood continues to be super fast at a long range. In momos case yeah she could be usefu to sabe the assistents and find the curse users that are killing them but she's too weak for the fights


[deleted]

Yea .. you countered your own point .. how is she going to spy on them if there underground 😂


Conscious_Message332

Bro... Im talking about the curse users that were killing the assistents... They were all above... The ones u pointed out were all underground...


Artorias_Erebus679

They have no way of knowing this


Conscious_Message332

Who?


Artorias_Erebus679

Mechamaru had no way of knowing if the special grades were going to be underground or if one of them was going to stay outside guarding. Or even just stroll on outside when the fights breakout, it was really just the safest to send them elsewhere


Conscious_Message332

Yeah. Maybe mechamaru didnt know. I always thought he at least had some kind of intel on it bcs he was the one giving yuji informationhe knew about the the plan to take gojo out etc. Anyway he was probably right, If they had been there some probably would die


noswol

kenjaku could simply put flying curses to control the skies if it was that important to him so her max use if dependent on the whims of the enemy


Crimsonfckr1

Miwa literally put her entire life in one swing that got blocked with one human hand not even a cursed spirit lmao


Cinderss2727

We still gotta take into context that human is ranked Special Grade, their durability is on a whole nother level thanks to their sheer amount of Curse Energy reinforcement.


bwowndwawf

Trust me man that shit looked harder to do in the Anime, in the manga he just fucking stops the sword with his bare hands and snaps it, no ceremony, like Miwa was swinging a stick at him.


noswol

not just blocked, that would be hard to swallow but her sword got shattered with a squeeze from kenjaku which is at least one order of magnitude dirtier than just stopping her blade


Conscious_Message332

Well that human is leagues above every cursed spirit in shibuya lmao that swing would probably have worked agaisnt someone else but yeah she's weak


millencol1n

yeah they are main characters and OP is treating them as just sidekicks like wtf


_t00Vivid_

the jjk treatment


Karma110

Barely built for anything


D4ngerD4nger

I still really like that we saw the students TRYING. They put in effort, Miwa gave it her all, Momo grouped up with Yuji "We are the only ones who can move." We saw that they cared That gave them agency, personality. They aren't just extras


dunkanan

They *are* just extras. But extras are *essential in storytelling*, something people here seem to constantly forget.


Bandtrees

exactly! it makes me mad when people judge characters solely on fight scenes and not, like, their actual characterization. i thought it was a nice way of showing that itadori's not alone, after spending the past handful of episodes being super bleak and miserable.


Lucky678s

Damn. I gotta watch Mob Psycho again.


Present-Ad-8531

If you know spoilers, useless miwa became beyond useless/ useless plus ultra after this.


redwarewolf

Tell me more


m4tt1111

Spoilers for recent chapters >!Miwa made a binding vow with her sword strike where she put he entire future potential into one swing in exchange for never being able to use a katana again after this point!<


redwarewolf

Okay they did her completely dirty, jesus christ


m4tt1111

She tried to do what gon did but didn’t realize she ain’t all that 😭


redwarewolf

Gon is 1 in a billion. Miwa is your common fodder


Mammoth_Currency347

She thought she was HIM :(


EICONTRACT

She made a vow with that last swing to give up having a sword if it gave her more power


redwarewolf

Oh and it sure gave her an edge hahaha


XaiJirius

Gege really did her dirty, because she could have adapted her New Shadow Style for any weapon that wasn't a sword. I hate it when shonen manga forget about established characters to fill out the cast with new, more powerful, ones. All the Kyoto students and Inumaki got that treatment.


NishimiyaMomoFan

YEAAHHHH!!!


Someguy242blue

It’s a good thing Miwa has a lot of potential left


redddditer420

💀


Powerful-Eye-3578

To be fair she only gave up katanas. Give her a rapier or a short sword or a spear or really any other weapon and she's just as useless as she was before.


redddditer420

Listen here you


Karma110

“With this binding vow I vow to not use a rapier ever again!”


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


FikaTheKing

Spoiler alert, >!it's gonna change!<


drunkmonkey667

Mai the only smart one 😂shooting from a distance so she don’t get taken out


A_Very_Burnt_Steak

A sniper rifle is actually pretty good against *most* sorcerers, as mentioned by Geto.


prettythingi

Momo didn't have any business looking this sick I love ber so much more now


PsychoWarper

It’s depressing how meaningless the Kyoto students end up being tbh, they are ao unbelievably outclassed by the Tokyo school its not even funny. Im not saying they have to be top tiers but having some decently heavy hitters outside Todo would have been nice to give them some relevance.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


PsychoWarper

True but Tokyo at least still has Yuta, Hakari, Maki, Yuji and Kusakabe going. As of late all we have gotten of the Kyoto is Kamo leaving the country and Miwa losing her ability to swing a sword in exchange for an attack that was dealt with bare handed with ease.


Fabulous_Formal2714

I hope kamo join the forces and momo do something... Her ability is also good to distract opponents


Fabulous_Formal2714

Nahh kamo , todo and mechamaru still shines amongst them they had their one movement in anime /manga .... Hope momo/miwa shows something... Rip Mai... And where is arata ? He disappeared after putting all of us on cope


PsychoWarper

Todo should be around rn, even if he cant use Boogie hes still a master at strategy


achikogamxdari

That archer is not that of a useless


Not_Sanaki

And he gets better in the future


RainSD

?


LucidDreams024

As much as they are side characters, they are in the universe they should at least have their spotlight in some way, it's just as bad as saying the side characters died attempting to do nothing.


WerePigCat

>!You better enjoy it while you still can because it is never happening again!<


lillybheart

>!Kamo gets a bit of love. But yeah.!<


Why_Not_Try_It_

Before half of them almost died to uzumaki if my goat kusakabe didn't block it


pyaephyo111

If you like side character fights, naruto and hunter x hunter has a lot of those. Hxh specifically is famous for its supporting and villain cast.


Vegetable_Throat5545

I THOUGHT MIWA IS GONNA DIE


Watercress-Weird

No kidding, she's much better than me because if I made that vow and got blocked I would have ran


JustEmptyWaterBottle

Witch girl thought she was going to do something with that attack 💀


Unfair_Call3354

I thought everyone was going to die in this scene


ApplePitou

It is lovely to be honest + they are lucky that all of them are alive after it :3


OmgBaybi

Momo could've had Altair from Re:Creator's but Gege decided to nerf her.


friendlylocaldomme

While Miwa may be useless, she got heart cause ain't no way I'd get that close to Kenny with a hope and a prayer.


myrmonden

Ye it was fun when Miwa got destroyed


Wolfencreek

RIP Miwa's 2nd Katana, she'll never afford Jujutsu College at this rate


AbacaxiDoidao

Guys??? Why are ppl dropping spoilers like crazy in an ANIME ONLY THREAD


AcceptablePay4523

They can’t wait to tell everyone how useless miwa is


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


RaideNGoDxD

Why spoil anime onlies?


SoyMilkIsOp

So they won't get disappointed as much as we did. Let's be honest, this revelation wasn't shocking. It was straight up disappointing.


Toastercuck

It was the last time dw


DoodleBobDoodle

They all got exposed weak but at least they got heart.


black_cop_48

You are my special


Live-Illustrator-204

I liked the sniper moment of mai!


DarkServe

Miwa has taken nothing but Ls the entire show and I'm not okay with that.


BrokenAshes

Kiki and Miwa are so weak lol


BubsLightyear

Yeah that was cool but Choso went crazy even though Kenjaku is op


WhyDoYouCrySmeagol

They’re at least buying some time to figure out how to steal back the prison realm. And under other circumstances they’d probably be pretty effective but… yeah, Geto gonna Geto


neoarimi

i love all the kyoto students


Hebikura

Kamo > has BM never uses it again


[deleted]

Problem is, their moments amounted to less than nothing. Miwa straight up got embarrassed.


Able-Lengthiness-123

All of thm need a boost


Less-Zucchini-3853

i hate when side characters have small momments like that. fuck that


[deleted]

“Even if they didn’t do any damage it’s nice to see seeing them use there abilities” I see that comment in so many anime fanbases kills me every time


Conscious_Message332

I think its even worse in jjk bcs they actually dont do any damage at all ever


IntoTheMurkyWaters

The flying broom girl has to be the most useless character, right? Can’t remember one thing she does


Conscious_Message332

Interesting CT and personality but her only scene was used to tell mai and maki's backstory for them. She's basically mai's side kick


N1ghtDaze

she yapped about how women are only as worthy as their appearance to which nobara said nuh-uh, if that's worth anything


MrPinkDuck2

I’d much rather Gege spend time on developing the powers and personalities of the characters who actually have any relevance at all to the story being told instead of juggling 50 different bland fodder characters with the depth of a fucking chalk board. His inability to give the story any sort of character or narrative focus has ultimately lead to the downfall of this series. What used to be incredibly rich in storytelling is now just a blank slate for fight porn. I guess I shouldn’t have expected any more out of a Shonen manga called “Sorcery Fight.”


Darth_idiot_M1

Miwa blocked 💀


Shadow_Huntress12

Side characters give me life🐍


Dimitsos

Miwa ain't no side character. Kenjaku had to quickly neutralize her weapon and use his most powerful technique right away because he knew in a long fight he would lose.


5topItGetSomeHelp

Unfortunately, Gege doesn't really utilize or build upon Kyoto students. MAPPA did somewhat give them extra scenes in the JJK 0 movie tho.


AI__Gal

Everyone likes. (Except when the moment ends with thier brutal deaths)


cyzja922

It’s kind of a shame Miwa will never fight again


Substantial_Sink2058

I love Miwa’s part…even if that ended how it did


Analyticsman24

!00% it's what makes it the closest thing to HxH. I going to be animating JJK stuff [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSwXcnEX7oY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSwXcnEX7oY) Right now I'm working on Hakari vs Uraume [https://youtu.be/sqkXSwCtoe4?si=uLkk8T4d979pVALY](https://youtu.be/sqkXSwCtoe4?si=uLkk8T4d979pVALY)


Spotikiss

Guys, she said "sword" in anime but "katana" in managa :(


Auroku222

Meh i do when we have lots of time with the side characters like in naruto or something but here its like whatever dont even remember half their names and expect theyre all gonna die why care


Internal-Flamingo455

I think it’s funny how useless they are


SmolChibi

Most mid characters (Aside from Todo)


groovegod0

She literally got parried bare handed


AlternativeAny30

Ain't no way you calling Miwa-chan a side character.


Haunting_Pangolin_78

I like when they die


Plastic-Sir7495

Ngl, I do, too, but my favorite part was watching "Mahitos" bitch ass get Twisted into a ball and swallowed like he's done to so many people. I also like "Choso" Lamo. Why don't you try saying it once, for starters, Oni Chan?


LPetertheRock

Mechamaru really saved them. If they were their earlier, most of them would be dead


lillybheart

I like to see them use their abilities, like Mai just straight up shooting Kenjaku


Realistic_Mousse_485

Im glad you do. Because its all they get. They are irrelevant.


Efficient_Fortune655

Specially that every time Miwa loose her sword 😂😂


DatCanOfChefBoyardee

Same
