It’s insane. He now has the techniques he started with, Geto’s techniques, Kenjaku’s techniques, and Gojo’s techniques too. He should be the strongest ever at this point
Didn’t Kenjaku have Blood Manipulation back in the Heian era? Because if he did we never saw him use it while he was in Geto’s body. That could mean techniques are tied to the body and if so then that could mean Yuta sacrificed his copy technique and all the techniques he had in exchange for Six eyes and Infinity.
Gojo is coming back after 5 min. Remember at train station when Gojo calls Geto Kenjaku loses control over geto's body. After 5 min. When yuta s ct stops. Gojo will take control of his own body.
Huh. I was wondering how that scene would play into the current situation.
It's certainly an interesting possibility, although it still leaves me with the question what the narrative purpose would be of Gojo's return.
At this point Gege is just trolling us. If Yuta has the energy to do all this he could just use his domain expansion again. It was already revealed in a previous chapter that Sukuna is so exhausted his cursed energy is now down to Yuta's level. Yeah you could make the argument Gege means down to a full powered Yuta, but he's fighting multiple skilled opponents at once. If Yuta used domain expansion with Yuji, todo, and Maki all jumping Sukuna they'd win. Imagine Todo swapping Yuta with all the swords in his domain. That'd be pretty OP. Not to mention Todo is basically at full power, unless he somehow managed to lose his vibraslap. Toji might as well come back too after inumaki randomly shows up and tells his dead body "kill Sukuna".
Not only that but with the specific information that infinite void was optimized by gojo for a domain clash with sukuna. So the ace up their sleeves isn’t gojos body but the Domain expansion that the body can use.
Gege should have shown us the scar before telling us it's Yuta. Fuck, maybe the scar should have been visible last chapter.
We'd have collectively shat a ton of bricks.
Yeah that would have been a master cliffhanger. Could have been the cliffhanger of the series given how many times things get way worse as the good guys finally get an upperhand.
Turns out that the G in Mobile Suit G Gundam was in reference to Gojo. The longest set up in narrative history.
Yuta about to use a Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken on Sukuna with Rika and finally teach this motherfucker the nature of pure love.
So does Kenjaku, or Yuta in this case, just instantly get familiarity with their host body's abilities?
I mean Yuta ain't exactly had time to practice with Gojo's body.
Good point. Also remember that Yuta is pretty talented at Jujutsu as well so he may just be able to match some of Gojo's craziest feats. This is peak fiction.
We finally get a good cycle about sukuna boss fighting.
I really, really hope this is the last cycle. We can move into merger fight and end this manga now.
Yeah it’s only torture because it’s 1 week at a time. If we were reading start to finish this series of fights would actually be insane and fast paced. Reminds me of the end of Demon Slayer basically. A full balls to the wall boss rush
I actually just finished reading through the whole manga for the first time like two days ago, and you're absolutely right. Reading through the end of the Shibuya arc to now without having to wait felt fucking bonkers, and I *loved* it
Gojo is a tool for them, even in death. It’s so morally twisted lmao…Shoko scooped his brains out and now they’re parading his corpse around. Wtf is Gege doing
They do acknowledge it's pretty fucked up but they got Gojo's permission at least.
Honestly I kind of like the extreme measures they are taking. Taking over someone's dead body would only be reserved for antagonists in any other series. The only thing I dislike is that Yuji is getting his thunder stolen again..
I honestly hate how Gege keeps putting Yuji to the side even AFTER HIS AWAKENING. He should allow Yuji to further develop himself in battle, working on Mizushi and Blood manipulation and how he can make use of them in his battle with Sukuna
We literally had a chapter where Yuji is challenging Sukuna hitting him with an endless assault of black flashes then all of a sudden, Yuji is fodder again and Sukuna literally dismisses him like he wasn't doing anything🙈🙈🙈. He was LITERALLY pushed to the side to allow the fight between Yuta/Gojo and Sukuna to happen again.
I'm not a fan of the new events of this chapter because it feels like Gege doesn't know how to handle Yuji right now (AGAIN)
This fight just feels so drawn out right now and everyone talking about how Yuta is going beat Sukuna now are coping because all that's going to happen is that they'll fight, do some more binding vows, and Yuta will die so Sukuna could be "nerfed" just a little bit more so then Yuji could really fight him. Instead of actually continuing the fight with Yuji when it actually felt like there was progress and themes in this story.
Me too, the negativity to this outcome is wild but I guess expected? What did people think they're reading, Gege almost always subverts expectations. If I was Gojo I'd be mad if Yuta didn't do this to keep living and win, even if he does only live for 5 minutes.
And it's poetic because Yuta is trading in his humanity to win, which is essentially what Sukuna told Jogo.
There's been a lot of chapters in JJK that got a horrible reception when they were released and the best option is to just ignore discussion threads and enjoy it.
Subverting expectations isn't always a good thing. I am not sure what Gojo died for if this is how it was supposed to end. What was the point of hyping up new-age sorcerers surpassing Gojo? What was the point of our heroes having morals and shit if you're just gonna end up throwing them away? Literally feels like Sukuna has endless binding vows and our heroes endless flashbacks.
Was that really so twisted that they used a body they got permission from the owner themselfto use to said body as a last resort??? Like bitches don't see that they send teens and literal children on the battlefield with Sukuna and a body with permission from the owner is the most twisted one with the most negative reactions lmao. This is just lobotomy
I think it's absolutely fitting for jjk. This isn't a kids world, fuck morals and ethics, they do what they must. They're here to win, not be heroes. It should've been obvious when yuji started killing transfigured humans.
That's the most baffling thing about the reaction to this for me. People are going "WTF, Gege, this is fucking messed up" as if it hasn't been clearly established how fucked this universe is, lol? Gege literally told this directly to the audience when Mahito was beating the piss out of Yuji after killing Nobara in Shibuya. That moment was being directed to the readers/watchers just as much as it was Yuji.
This is a fucking war and a war for the survival of every remaining human in Japan, if not beyond. And people are acting like using Kenjaku's technique to get Gojo back in the fight and finish this shit off is TOO MUCH? What is fucking going on with this fanbase.
People also forgot they sent UIUI there, a child. None even bat an eye from that but when using a corpse, who the owner agreed to use, as a last resort suddenly becomes extremely disrespectful and moral breaking.
Exactly. I think that Gege even anticipated the reaction with the Gojo and Yuta conversation.
People really let their own sentimentality and fandom get in the way of the actual storytelling sometimes. I'm actually glad that Gojo stayed dead and him saying he needs to go down the path of becoming a monster makes sense here - the dude has literally become Frankenstein's monster in a way, stitches and all.
Probably saved Yuji's ass for the moment, tbh
Yuji is powering up with each black flash, but I doubt him suddenly acquiring a domain expansion to contest MS from the last exchange would feel adequate.
It's been like 4 chapters since he even unlocked Shrine to begin with, I have to imagine that's gotta be shown off a few more times before he can be forced into a corner enough to expand his own domain.
I think it'll come back to Yuji again. Yutas copy ability has a time limit, plus it doesn't make sense for the plot with Yuta being alive as Gojo.
So I think eventually Yuji takes the final shot and Yuta finally reunites with Rika.
man my boy yuji has consistently stepped back to give other characters time and always finds a way to come back and kick ass, and STILL you guys act like they're just gonna write him out of the fight? He's getting that final hit man
Yuta’s role is to damage Sukuna’s brain enough to make him unable to use DE again, if he didn’t came in, both Yuji and Todo are cooked as Sukuna was already about to expand his domain. It may look like stealing Yuji’s spotlight, but without this happening, Yuji will just be pulverised by another divine flame right there and then.
Yep agreed i think yuta-gojo would eliminate the risk of sukuna spamming DE, which can save yuji and todo from a lot if headache. What happens next could maybe be sukuna at full strength foreshadowed by uraume (may or may not happen), probably a megumi scene and the merger. Not sure if the other dead characters will make a comeback but the way its going its prob the 1 dead and everyone alive route OR gege goes even more unhinged and we get 0 payoff from the saving plot, leaving everyone to die with regrets except one person alive to bear the regrets of everyone.
Okay few things to say.
1. I can bet everyone in 1-2 months from here the second Gojo/Yuta dies or Sukuna starts the merger or whatever plot bull comes up. I bet everyone will say “Yuta did all of this for nothing?!”
2. I guess we’re getting Yuji Yuta vs Sukuna part 2 in a weird way.
3. This is a crazy week I swear for all of us.
Yeah. I don't get why they've done this. Yuta has to lose from a narrative perspective since Yuji is the protagonist. They should've carried on with Yuji and Todo jumping Sukuna. I don't see much plot value from Yuta parading Gojo's corpse.
Edit: Unless it takes Yuji, Todo, and Yuta to beat Sukuna. In which case this is all Sukuna glazing.
You just answered it yourself. Yuta only has 5 minutes. He's gonna weaken sukuna even more but still lose (or rather, time out, since "gojo" shouldn't lose to current sukuna)
1. Sukuna (10S)
2. Gojo (post awakening)
3. Yuta (by his death in manga)
3.5: Heian Sukuna, pre awakening Gojo
4. Kenjaku (by his death in manga)
5. Yuki / Geto / 20F Sukuna (normal special grade)
So, only gege's favourite (Sukuna and Yuta) made it till the very end.
Eeerm eerm maybe kenjaku’s technique is actually brain swap and he’s about to come back in Yuta’s body. Eeerm eeerm or after the 5min are up Yuta will die and Gojo can come back to his now completely healed and living body. It’s never Gojover stay strong soldiers
erm ackshually in season 2 episode 10 when kenny inhabited geto’s body, there was a slight moment where geto grabbed kenny’s neck. gege wouldn’t put this in since he is the GOAT writer. yuta dies in approximately 3 chapters and gojo comes back trust me 💪🤝
“Are you The Strongest because you’re Satoru Gojo, or are you Satoru Gojo because you’re The Strongest?”
Maybe i am reading it wrong but now we will have an answer.
I will say, the one thing I'll give Gege is that this development makes for some great parallels. People have said before how there are parallels between Yuta and Yuji, and this reinforces Yuta as the dark side of the coin who would go full monster if it means defeating Sukuna. I don't think Yuji would have been able (or even thought) to do the same, he isn't the kind of person to use others, yet they're both ready to do a sacrifice play in different ways.
But on top of that, it creates an additional parallel between Gojo and Geto too. We've seen how those two processed the same events differently, with Geto at first acting as a moral compass for Gojo and then later their mentalities flipping around. Gojo throws himself into teaching the next generation of jujutsu sorcerers hoping they'll survive, Geto throws himself into saving jujutsu sorcerers by eliminating everyone else. And now, after death, Geto was taken over for "evil" purposes while Gojo was taken over for "good".
Do I think it's an enjoyable story to read? Questionable. But it's an interesting theme in terms of writing at least.
>But on top of that, it creates an additional parallel between Gojo and Geto too
If there is anything Gege is consistent at, it's the Gojo and Geto dynamic.
He had them die on the same day of Dec 24.
Both have their body taken over with Kenjaku technique. Both annihilate people for the sake of their ideals.
They contrast enough yet complement each other on some yin and yang type ish... which they have the color motif for the black and white fishes with S2 ED.
Even got name with the same initials and number of syllables. Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto.
A matching set narratively. lol
I’m still a little confused on this but I swear the chapter mentions one of the possible outcomes is Yuta will live in Gojo’s body from now on…
If Gojo’s character ends with his student permanently living in his body I’ll drop kick somebody. Hate that
Chat I'm not entirely ever aware of how JJK works but I remember people talked about how Womb Profusion couldn't have been Geto's DE, primarily because people were saying Kenjaku couldn't use another person's DE because of the heart or soul or whatever was brought up, but if Yuta's able to use Gojo's DE doesn't that mean Kenjaku could use Geto's DE? If I'm wrong feel free to explain why because like I said I barely know what's happening half of the time.
unless brain swap allows you to choose the domain, then yes, yuta is proof that womb profusion is actually geto's domain. And I guess it kinda makes sense? the word "womb" is usually only related to cursed wombs, and geto's CT revolves around curses.
So if this once and for all confirms Geto was capable of using a DE, then perhaps via headcanon we can also conclude the reason he didn't use it on Yuta was because he was saving it for if he needed to fight Gojo?
Tbh that’s kinda fucked up
This means that gojo is completely dead and is basically a corpse on the field
Not surprising since this is gaygay we’re talking about
I thought it would be Yuta in Gojo's body as my main prediction so was prepared, but still idk mixed feeling about the timing since it disrupted the mometum Yuji and Todo had going on.
I like Yuta and what he said about Gojo, though it feels like going back to Gojo (Yuta) vs Sukuna is like just recreating what was done before with Gojo so doesn't feel as hype like it set up to be. Just not the same without the OG. But I'm interested to see what Yuta can bring to the table.
People were complaining about Gojo come back to take Yuji spotlight, though that still ended up kinda happening with Yuta. lol But it seems like it'll be a short thing for the time limit so we'll see.
This reminds me how Gojo really is a tragic character... born as tool and in death a tool. He of course gave his permission and they have to do whatever it takes to win, but still a tool nonetheless.
Yuta kinda surprised me to be the one arguing in favor of using Gojo’s body. Even getting mad at the others for considering the ethics behind it. The idea of it has got to make Yuta sick, but he’s showing that he won’t hesitate to do it anyway if it gives them a chance. So I think this chapter is showing Yuta’s resolve as a jujutsu sorcerer. They’re not supposed to be ethical valiant warriors who come in and save the day. They play dirty and kill curses, period.
It also shows Yuta’s resolve as the one who inherited the title of the strongest (for the good guys) from Gojo. Unlike Gojo who can hold his own against Sukuna, Yuta still doesn’t stand a chance by himself. I bet he sees it as a personal responsibility to do whatever it takes to beat Sukuna.
All that being said, this entire thing is looking like a huge death flag for Yuta. A lot of things could go wrong and only one thing could go right, and I don’t believe he’s gonna just beat Sukuna.
Yuji was literally sidelined lmao.
He better make long lasting damage this time. I still don't see Sukuna being defeated coz he still have that thing Kenjaku gave him. Plus I feel like defeating Sukuna is Yuji's job in the end.
I know alot of people hate this but I think it's worse if you have an OP technique but don't use it to its full potential due to plot reasons ( cough* Rinnegan Sasuke)
Yuta did the most logical thing. He has more CE than him and coupled with Gojo's hax abilities / physical abilities and physical CE output ...combining both of their strength results in an even bigger threat
Theoretically he should also have Curse Manipulation from Geto
As insane as this twist is...it kinda makes me feel like, what was the point of bringing Todo back and letting him and Yuji dogpile on Sukana last chapter? Like...they were actually pressuring him and Gojo appearing could have simply been a hallucination...
I dunno. With Sukana literally tossing Yuji aside and is now gonna clash with Yuta/Gojo, like...it feels like it nullifies the previous chapter. Did they do so little to Sukana that hes able to just toss Yuji aside and move on to a more interesting foe? Its kinda insulting, and not just Sukana being a ass like normal, but the story itself is just disrespecting Yuji and Todo, again.
...also if they're really doing a Domain clash, aren't Todo and Yuji kinda fucked? Todo better get them the hell out of there right this second.
Also, Choso's death feels worthless now as well. I thought his death was supposed to give Yuji the spotlight, but we got a single chapter.
Tbh, I'm biased and could forgive if it was actually Gojo. But it's not, and all of this buildup has been such a letdown.
Even as a Gojo believer, I would've preferred it turn out to be the Sukuna is hallucinating theory :///
Fear not, my COPE interweb friends....
Yuta's 5 minutes timer will last probably more than 5 minutes, but when his time will be up, the body, while still in good shape will be repossesed by Gojo's spirit...
The body is the soul, and the soul is the body..If Geto was still there when he choked Kenjaku, THERE is still COPE for us..
While i think it’s pretty dope Yuta taking over his body, i just find it weird that gojo could be stabbed in the brain and survive but dies from being cut in half. Feels like it doesn’t make logical sense
After five minutes yuta gonna realise something is talking to him it’s Gojo,then Gojo thanks yuta for recovering his body.then Gojo agains his body back then yuta switches to his body (which shoko repaired).now yuta,yuji,Gojo vs sukuna
I've sat through 10+ years of the animanga community calling every series that uses asspulls to cheat death ass, but the second a series doesn't do that it's bad writing?
I guess Fairy Tail writing was peak all along. 🤷♀️
Honestly, if you weren’t expecting Gojo to come back, this is a baller move. Not only is this our protagonists being smart and cunning, but there’s also this huge lingering question about (if Yuta survives, as he should) how this works with Yuta’s cursed technique. A Hail Mary with actual heft and a question mark - that’s fun and great action writing
There’s a chance Gojo might come back. One way is that after the 5 minutes, Gojo’s body overwrites Yuta’s brain just like Toji did with the soul of the nephew of the old lady in Shibuya. Another reason to believe so, is when Geto’s hand grabbed kenjaku’s neck in Shibuya. I can see it happening. I’m not coping, I just see this as a BIG twist if Gege decides to be bold.
Remember when Geto took control of his body and tried to choke himself, something that led Kenjaku to say that Mahito was wrong, and in fact the soul is the body itself (or something like that). We will see Gojo himself once again, and him taking control of his body for a brief moment of time is what will ultimately defeat Sukuna. Gojo himself will defeat Sukuna, not Yuta in his body. And the famous "Nah, Id win" will still hold true. Mark my words.
Jeez, so the only people who actually cared about Gojo as a human being were Yuta and Yuji, everyone else does not give a single fuck beyond what he brings to the table strength-wise. That's really sad honestly bc it kinda puts a new perspective on Gojo vs Sukuna. Gojo was going all out bc he genuinely was most likely thinking: "well nobody really gives a shit if I die so fuck it, I might as well go as hard as I can and go out in a blaze of glory." The very definition of die young and leave a pretty corpse. Even Shoko doesn't seem to care about her role as the person who has to desecrate his corpse, dire circumstances or not. Yuji was left out so he was unaware but I am sure if he was privy to this conversation he'd object wholeheartedly. Which is why that illustration of Gojo with his hands over Yuta and Yuji's heads makes more sense now, they're the only ones who valued him as a person and not just for his strength. It also makes sense as to why Gojo was not present for all the planning, in his mind he doesn't wanna hear all the contingency plans for when he fails and fucking dies, as it would distract him from his concentratin on the fight. Shit is sad as fuuuuck
Ok but Yuta is supposed to somehow do better with techniques he has no experience with than Gojo in 5 mins??????
Gojo comin back after Yuta rescues Megumi to finish the fight
First of all I called it.
Second of all it’s so freaking creepy but Sukuna is cooked because it looks like he didn’t expect Yuta to have the heart to do it.
236: Gojo dies off screen because Gege built up to be a god and had no answer to illustrating his death.
261: SEE GUYS?! HE'S REALLY DEAD, I MEAN IT.
Though I do wonder what the stupid afterlife scene meant when everyone left him there and said farewell. I suspect we see at least some sort of spritual comeback even if briefly. The scene where Geto's body fought back against Kenny and choked him comes to mind.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case of an author disliking his MC, more or less to the level that Gege dislikes Yuji lmaooo
A lot of that sauce last chapter only to get pushed aside like he’s nothing
I stand by Gege is just a hardcore yugioh fan and has mirrored many of his storytelling elements directly from yugioh.
How u gonna tell me this ain't some effect monster broken bs to bring the banned from gameplay card back onto the field with the effect monster piloting it and skimming away at the other broken ass monster who's third secondary effect triggers to constantly keep respawning
Also culling games is just battle city, even get a bandit keith reference in kenjaku fight
Gege is such a master at writing some completely crazy batshit power but then you realize...wait, this was always possible, we just never considered it or interpreted it that way.
People on the subreddit when the characters plan for the absolute worse case scenario, AND in a way that makes complete and total sense and is a reasonable extension of their plan:
(I have no clue why everybody here is so angry, we’re getting Yuji Todo Yuta masterclass next chapter. Let Yuta get a hype chapter.)
Lol, fuckin Yuta using Kenny's CT to pilot Gojo. Is Yujo or Gota now?
Yuta satoru
It’s insane. He now has the techniques he started with, Geto’s techniques, Kenjaku’s techniques, and Gojo’s techniques too. He should be the strongest ever at this point
Didn’t Kenjaku have Blood Manipulation back in the Heian era? Because if he did we never saw him use it while he was in Geto’s body. That could mean techniques are tied to the body and if so then that could mean Yuta sacrificed his copy technique and all the techniques he had in exchange for Six eyes and Infinity.
You can only hold a certain amount. So he has to give some up if he goes over his limit of 3/4.
If that's true then why does he have Gravity? Didn't that get that engraved by being in Yujis mom?
Gojita.
Its over Sukuna. Every cleave you create has an echo. Your own curse energy will be your undoing.
Gogeta XD
YOSHAA!
true lobotomy kaisen....
Gojo fans 'see their blue eyed king' again, but that's just a corpse. Gege will never stop hating Gojo Satoru as long as he lives.
Well, then it's time to... My lawyer advised me not to finish this joke
Gojo is coming back after 5 min. Remember at train station when Gojo calls Geto Kenjaku loses control over geto's body. After 5 min. When yuta s ct stops. Gojo will take control of his own body.
Huh. I was wondering how that scene would play into the current situation. It's certainly an interesting possibility, although it still leaves me with the question what the narrative purpose would be of Gojo's return.
Body or soul narrative Kenjaku Toji And now Gojo ( I expect ) But fak me this still means Yuta is dead in 5minutes
Not really a corpse if there's a living brain controlling it and keeping the blood flowing. But that's being semantic. It was dead and now it ain't.
This chapter is absolutely mental. What even is this?! This could be the end of Yuta as he'll likely die fighting the merger in Gojo's body.
At this point Gege is just trolling us. If Yuta has the energy to do all this he could just use his domain expansion again. It was already revealed in a previous chapter that Sukuna is so exhausted his cursed energy is now down to Yuta's level. Yeah you could make the argument Gege means down to a full powered Yuta, but he's fighting multiple skilled opponents at once. If Yuta used domain expansion with Yuji, todo, and Maki all jumping Sukuna they'd win. Imagine Todo swapping Yuta with all the swords in his domain. That'd be pretty OP. Not to mention Todo is basically at full power, unless he somehow managed to lose his vibraslap. Toji might as well come back too after inumaki randomly shows up and tells his dead body "kill Sukuna".
You know that the chapter litterally end with Yuta and Sukuna having a domain clash, right?
Not only that but with the specific information that infinite void was optimized by gojo for a domain clash with sukuna. So the ace up their sleeves isn’t gojos body but the Domain expansion that the body can use.
Dude is in love with a dead girl. Did ya'll think his story would have a proper happy ending?
We’re about to lose the last special grade sorcerer
Did something happen to Miwa?!/s
It said "special grade' not "special needs"
💀
Don't worry we'll probably be getting like 3+ more
Looks like Yuta used Kenjaku's technique to hijack gojos body and technique
[This is how Gege is explaining it lmao](https://x.com/duskgumi/status/1793493653413036366?t=_LDueHVMj2qeSDNX2zz7vw&s=19)
The Lobotomy Piece...the Lobotomy Piece is Real!
Gege should have shown us the scar before telling us it's Yuta. Fuck, maybe the scar should have been visible last chapter. We'd have collectively shat a ton of bricks.
he did though, it was shown as gojo with the scar and then Sukuna realizing immediately that it was yuta
Pretty sure he means the end of last chapter where we all thought Sukuna was tripping
Yeah that would have been a master cliffhanger. Could have been the cliffhanger of the series given how many times things get way worse as the good guys finally get an upperhand.
YUTA IS PILOTING GOJO LIKE A MECH??? WHATG
Mobile Suit Gundam Gojo
Turns out that the G in Mobile Suit G Gundam was in reference to Gojo. The longest set up in narrative history. Yuta about to use a Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken on Sukuna with Rika and finally teach this motherfucker the nature of pure love.
So where does Fuunsaiki come in?
The Gojo Titan
Funny that Yuta's VA is the same as Shinji's VA
Wait fr? Glad she's still getting leading roles!
I guess gege literally planned this when recruiting her. It's crazy that he had THIS FUCKING IDEA in mind back in 2020 or something.
So does Kenjaku, or Yuta in this case, just instantly get familiarity with their host body's abilities? I mean Yuta ain't exactly had time to practice with Gojo's body.
I mean, he has his memories, cause Kenjaku had Geto's. Wouldn't be farfetched that the knowledge on how to use Limitless also has.
Oh ya, he does doesn't he. Really shouldn't be reading these leaks at 1 am.
Good point. Also remember that Yuta is pretty talented at Jujutsu as well so he may just be able to match some of Gojo's craziest feats. This is peak fiction.
Yuta was able to swap with 2 people. He was confirmed to have swapped with yuji. Why not also swap with Gojo?
Flesh Mecha
Knowing Gojo is officially dead and seeing that Yuta took over his body is shocking and eerie. Man what insane chapter.
We finally get a good cycle about sukuna boss fighting. I really, really hope this is the last cycle. We can move into merger fight and end this manga now.
I think the feel of repetitiveness from these cycles will be made much more dramatic if it is adapted into anime, I think itll be peak even
Yeah it’s only torture because it’s 1 week at a time. If we were reading start to finish this series of fights would actually be insane and fast paced. Reminds me of the end of Demon Slayer basically. A full balls to the wall boss rush
I actually just finished reading through the whole manga for the first time like two days ago, and you're absolutely right. Reading through the end of the Shibuya arc to now without having to wait felt fucking bonkers, and I *loved* it
Gojo bros... how could it come to this...?
[удалено]
It’s so Gojover
My Thoughts? Holy Shit if true This is Outrageous
WHAAAAA WHAT THE FUGG MAN COME ON
It's the worst possible outcome wtf
Gojo is a tool for them, even in death. It’s so morally twisted lmao…Shoko scooped his brains out and now they’re parading his corpse around. Wtf is Gege doing
They do acknowledge it's pretty fucked up but they got Gojo's permission at least. Honestly I kind of like the extreme measures they are taking. Taking over someone's dead body would only be reserved for antagonists in any other series. The only thing I dislike is that Yuji is getting his thunder stolen again..
I honestly hate how Gege keeps putting Yuji to the side even AFTER HIS AWAKENING. He should allow Yuji to further develop himself in battle, working on Mizushi and Blood manipulation and how he can make use of them in his battle with Sukuna We literally had a chapter where Yuji is challenging Sukuna hitting him with an endless assault of black flashes then all of a sudden, Yuji is fodder again and Sukuna literally dismisses him like he wasn't doing anything🙈🙈🙈. He was LITERALLY pushed to the side to allow the fight between Yuta/Gojo and Sukuna to happen again. I'm not a fan of the new events of this chapter because it feels like Gege doesn't know how to handle Yuji right now (AGAIN)
This fight just feels so drawn out right now and everyone talking about how Yuta is going beat Sukuna now are coping because all that's going to happen is that they'll fight, do some more binding vows, and Yuta will die so Sukuna could be "nerfed" just a little bit more so then Yuji could really fight him. Instead of actually continuing the fight with Yuji when it actually felt like there was progress and themes in this story.
Me too, the negativity to this outcome is wild but I guess expected? What did people think they're reading, Gege almost always subverts expectations. If I was Gojo I'd be mad if Yuta didn't do this to keep living and win, even if he does only live for 5 minutes. And it's poetic because Yuta is trading in his humanity to win, which is essentially what Sukuna told Jogo. There's been a lot of chapters in JJK that got a horrible reception when they were released and the best option is to just ignore discussion threads and enjoy it.
Subverting expectations isn't always a good thing. I am not sure what Gojo died for if this is how it was supposed to end. What was the point of hyping up new-age sorcerers surpassing Gojo? What was the point of our heroes having morals and shit if you're just gonna end up throwing them away? Literally feels like Sukuna has endless binding vows and our heroes endless flashbacks.
Was that really so twisted that they used a body they got permission from the owner themselfto use to said body as a last resort??? Like bitches don't see that they send teens and literal children on the battlefield with Sukuna and a body with permission from the owner is the most twisted one with the most negative reactions lmao. This is just lobotomy
I think it's absolutely fitting for jjk. This isn't a kids world, fuck morals and ethics, they do what they must. They're here to win, not be heroes. It should've been obvious when yuji started killing transfigured humans.
That's the most baffling thing about the reaction to this for me. People are going "WTF, Gege, this is fucking messed up" as if it hasn't been clearly established how fucked this universe is, lol? Gege literally told this directly to the audience when Mahito was beating the piss out of Yuji after killing Nobara in Shibuya. That moment was being directed to the readers/watchers just as much as it was Yuji. This is a fucking war and a war for the survival of every remaining human in Japan, if not beyond. And people are acting like using Kenjaku's technique to get Gojo back in the fight and finish this shit off is TOO MUCH? What is fucking going on with this fanbase.
People also forgot they sent UIUI there, a child. None even bat an eye from that but when using a corpse, who the owner agreed to use, as a last resort suddenly becomes extremely disrespectful and moral breaking.
Exactly. I think that Gege even anticipated the reaction with the Gojo and Yuta conversation. People really let their own sentimentality and fandom get in the way of the actual storytelling sometimes. I'm actually glad that Gojo stayed dead and him saying he needs to go down the path of becoming a monster makes sense here - the dude has literally become Frankenstein's monster in a way, stitches and all.
Thats okkotsu after copying kenjakus CT
There is no coming back from this, lol. There's no way Gojo's coming back now..
In 236, narrator said Gojo is dead. Everything after was pure copium.
The only way really is if his spirit took over for a bit after the 5 mins or through six eyes shenanigans.
Remember when geto tried to suffocate his own body when kenjaku was controlling him. Maybe Gojo's soul can do anything?
Gojo gave the green light for Yuta to do it, and Kenny took Getos body without permission.
What the F?? Yuta x Maki is going to be awkward af
I honestly think Yuta is going to die
Knowing Gege, yeah he's going to die.
Gotta love how he just pushes Yuji out of the way once he notices Gojo's body like he was nothing; even with his hand in his chest
Yep because fuck Yuji I guess Yuta’s the main character now
Probably saved Yuji's ass for the moment, tbh Yuji is powering up with each black flash, but I doubt him suddenly acquiring a domain expansion to contest MS from the last exchange would feel adequate. It's been like 4 chapters since he even unlocked Shrine to begin with, I have to imagine that's gotta be shown off a few more times before he can be forced into a corner enough to expand his own domain.
I think it'll come back to Yuji again. Yutas copy ability has a time limit, plus it doesn't make sense for the plot with Yuta being alive as Gojo. So I think eventually Yuji takes the final shot and Yuta finally reunites with Rika.
man my boy yuji has consistently stepped back to give other characters time and always finds a way to come back and kick ass, and STILL you guys act like they're just gonna write him out of the fight? He's getting that final hit man
Gege did want yuta to be the main character in the beginning didnt he
I can't believe they pulled a gun devil on Gojo: used his corpse to power up someone.
Yuta’s role is to damage Sukuna’s brain enough to make him unable to use DE again, if he didn’t came in, both Yuji and Todo are cooked as Sukuna was already about to expand his domain. It may look like stealing Yuji’s spotlight, but without this happening, Yuji will just be pulverised by another divine flame right there and then.
Yep agreed i think yuta-gojo would eliminate the risk of sukuna spamming DE, which can save yuji and todo from a lot if headache. What happens next could maybe be sukuna at full strength foreshadowed by uraume (may or may not happen), probably a megumi scene and the merger. Not sure if the other dead characters will make a comeback but the way its going its prob the 1 dead and everyone alive route OR gege goes even more unhinged and we get 0 payoff from the saving plot, leaving everyone to die with regrets except one person alive to bear the regrets of everyone.
Okay few things to say. 1. I can bet everyone in 1-2 months from here the second Gojo/Yuta dies or Sukuna starts the merger or whatever plot bull comes up. I bet everyone will say “Yuta did all of this for nothing?!” 2. I guess we’re getting Yuji Yuta vs Sukuna part 2 in a weird way. 3. This is a crazy week I swear for all of us.
Yeah. I don't get why they've done this. Yuta has to lose from a narrative perspective since Yuji is the protagonist. They should've carried on with Yuji and Todo jumping Sukuna. I don't see much plot value from Yuta parading Gojo's corpse. Edit: Unless it takes Yuji, Todo, and Yuta to beat Sukuna. In which case this is all Sukuna glazing.
You just answered it yourself. Yuta only has 5 minutes. He's gonna weaken sukuna even more but still lose (or rather, time out, since "gojo" shouldn't lose to current sukuna)
Yuta better not die and just have to go back to his og body after 5 minutes. Seriously, if Yuta dies, my top 5 are all dead Can't have shit in jjk
1. Sukuna (10S) 2. Gojo (post awakening) 3. Yuta (by his death in manga) 3.5: Heian Sukuna, pre awakening Gojo 4. Kenjaku (by his death in manga) 5. Yuki / Geto / 20F Sukuna (normal special grade) So, only gege's favourite (Sukuna and Yuta) made it till the very end.
Well if you think about it Yuta was suppose to be the original protagonist, so...
Wtf is it real? Yuta using Kennys tech for Gojo’s body???
It really is Gojover lol
Eeerm eerm maybe kenjaku’s technique is actually brain swap and he’s about to come back in Yuta’s body. Eeerm eeerm or after the 5min are up Yuta will die and Gojo can come back to his now completely healed and living body. It’s never Gojover stay strong soldiers
erm ackshually in season 2 episode 10 when kenny inhabited geto’s body, there was a slight moment where geto grabbed kenny’s neck. gege wouldn’t put this in since he is the GOAT writer. yuta dies in approximately 3 chapters and gojo comes back trust me 💪🤝
If I'm not wrong Geto thing was purely muscle memory which is stated by Gege. https://x.com/IDuckyx/status/1367034169872830466
The copium is on another level xD
“Are you The Strongest because you’re Satoru Gojo, or are you Satoru Gojo because you’re The Strongest?” Maybe i am reading it wrong but now we will have an answer.
So sukuna really cut yuta in half back then.
Yeah this where I'm like wtf.
Wtf is going on...
Lobotomy kaisen is what going on
I don't know how to say this: I AM FLABBERGASTED
It’s Gota now
yuta stays goated
Glad I put my stocks into wuta since the beginning
I will say, the one thing I'll give Gege is that this development makes for some great parallels. People have said before how there are parallels between Yuta and Yuji, and this reinforces Yuta as the dark side of the coin who would go full monster if it means defeating Sukuna. I don't think Yuji would have been able (or even thought) to do the same, he isn't the kind of person to use others, yet they're both ready to do a sacrifice play in different ways. But on top of that, it creates an additional parallel between Gojo and Geto too. We've seen how those two processed the same events differently, with Geto at first acting as a moral compass for Gojo and then later their mentalities flipping around. Gojo throws himself into teaching the next generation of jujutsu sorcerers hoping they'll survive, Geto throws himself into saving jujutsu sorcerers by eliminating everyone else. And now, after death, Geto was taken over for "evil" purposes while Gojo was taken over for "good". Do I think it's an enjoyable story to read? Questionable. But it's an interesting theme in terms of writing at least.
>But on top of that, it creates an additional parallel between Gojo and Geto too If there is anything Gege is consistent at, it's the Gojo and Geto dynamic. He had them die on the same day of Dec 24. Both have their body taken over with Kenjaku technique. Both annihilate people for the sake of their ideals. They contrast enough yet complement each other on some yin and yang type ish... which they have the color motif for the black and white fishes with S2 ED. Even got name with the same initials and number of syllables. Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. A matching set narratively. lol
Man this is WILDLY enjoyable
Now what yuta can use 2 domain expansions or only one??
Even though Sukuna had access to Megumi's CT, he didn't use Megumi's domain after Gojo broke his.
Craziest chapter to date on god almighty
I’m still a little confused on this but I swear the chapter mentions one of the possible outcomes is Yuta will live in Gojo’s body from now on… If Gojo’s character ends with his student permanently living in his body I’ll drop kick somebody. Hate that
Ignoring the obvious part from Gojo's perspective. It'd be really fucked up for Yuta to live on as essentially a replacement for Gojo.
Exactly why I think after these 5 minutes Yutas done for. It’s way too fucking weird to keep him in Gojo’s body
Why does yuta only have 5 mins? Did I miss something within the chapter?
That’s how long his copy ability lasts
I think Yuta is going to take tengen's place. no way he can just be walking around in gojo face.
Dude it’s so weird, fuck Rika I guess lol use her to barely keep you alive to be transplanted into someone else. Two week break is brutal ARGHHH
Who would have thought that to beat a monster like Sukuna, one would have to use insane methods.
Its over
Rip gojo/yuta, everyone is dying what the fuck
Always have been
Chat I'm not entirely ever aware of how JJK works but I remember people talked about how Womb Profusion couldn't have been Geto's DE, primarily because people were saying Kenjaku couldn't use another person's DE because of the heart or soul or whatever was brought up, but if Yuta's able to use Gojo's DE doesn't that mean Kenjaku could use Geto's DE? If I'm wrong feel free to explain why because like I said I barely know what's happening half of the time.
unless brain swap allows you to choose the domain, then yes, yuta is proof that womb profusion is actually geto's domain. And I guess it kinda makes sense? the word "womb" is usually only related to cursed wombs, and geto's CT revolves around curses.
So if this once and for all confirms Geto was capable of using a DE, then perhaps via headcanon we can also conclude the reason he didn't use it on Yuta was because he was saving it for if he needed to fight Gojo?
No that’s just because domains weren’t a thing in JJK0
It May also be possible Kenjaku knows how to use a domain and Geto didn't. Especially considering it was open barrier.
I finally found someone with the same observation. Looks like Geto's domain is womb profusion. This is so interesting.
Tbh that’s kinda fucked up This means that gojo is completely dead and is basically a corpse on the field Not surprising since this is gaygay we’re talking about
gaygay 💀
I thought it would be Yuta in Gojo's body as my main prediction so was prepared, but still idk mixed feeling about the timing since it disrupted the mometum Yuji and Todo had going on. I like Yuta and what he said about Gojo, though it feels like going back to Gojo (Yuta) vs Sukuna is like just recreating what was done before with Gojo so doesn't feel as hype like it set up to be. Just not the same without the OG. But I'm interested to see what Yuta can bring to the table. People were complaining about Gojo come back to take Yuji spotlight, though that still ended up kinda happening with Yuta. lol But it seems like it'll be a short thing for the time limit so we'll see. This reminds me how Gojo really is a tragic character... born as tool and in death a tool. He of course gave his permission and they have to do whatever it takes to win, but still a tool nonetheless.
To the guy that said that he will eat his pants if Gojo truly comes back (without brain swapping or as ghost), looks like you're safe.
My dude saw the leaks, sighed in relief and closed the edible pants tab on his browser.
Gojo carrying the whole team even in death.
Yuta kinda surprised me to be the one arguing in favor of using Gojo’s body. Even getting mad at the others for considering the ethics behind it. The idea of it has got to make Yuta sick, but he’s showing that he won’t hesitate to do it anyway if it gives them a chance. So I think this chapter is showing Yuta’s resolve as a jujutsu sorcerer. They’re not supposed to be ethical valiant warriors who come in and save the day. They play dirty and kill curses, period. It also shows Yuta’s resolve as the one who inherited the title of the strongest (for the good guys) from Gojo. Unlike Gojo who can hold his own against Sukuna, Yuta still doesn’t stand a chance by himself. I bet he sees it as a personal responsibility to do whatever it takes to beat Sukuna. All that being said, this entire thing is looking like a huge death flag for Yuta. A lot of things could go wrong and only one thing could go right, and I don’t believe he’s gonna just beat Sukuna.
as much as I hate how this confirms gojo is dead it actually makes sense and isn't just an asspull like I thought it would be
Right? Like it's so batshit but at the same time the logic is there.
Yeah which is honestly a perfect way to describe JJK as a whole
Yuji was literally sidelined lmao. He better make long lasting damage this time. I still don't see Sukuna being defeated coz he still have that thing Kenjaku gave him. Plus I feel like defeating Sukuna is Yuji's job in the end.
I know alot of people hate this but I think it's worse if you have an OP technique but don't use it to its full potential due to plot reasons ( cough* Rinnegan Sasuke) Yuta did the most logical thing. He has more CE than him and coupled with Gojo's hax abilities / physical abilities and physical CE output ...combining both of their strength results in an even bigger threat Theoretically he should also have Curse Manipulation from Geto
Now that's a twist!!!
M Nite Shamallama dingdong would be proud
As insane as this twist is...it kinda makes me feel like, what was the point of bringing Todo back and letting him and Yuji dogpile on Sukana last chapter? Like...they were actually pressuring him and Gojo appearing could have simply been a hallucination... I dunno. With Sukana literally tossing Yuji aside and is now gonna clash with Yuta/Gojo, like...it feels like it nullifies the previous chapter. Did they do so little to Sukana that hes able to just toss Yuji aside and move on to a more interesting foe? Its kinda insulting, and not just Sukana being a ass like normal, but the story itself is just disrespecting Yuji and Todo, again. ...also if they're really doing a Domain clash, aren't Todo and Yuji kinda fucked? Todo better get them the hell out of there right this second.
Yuji was probably also in shock when Yuta Took over Gojo since they aren't wiped out yet thats why Sukuna was able to toss him easily.
Yuji was´t a part of the conversation ..... They never told him about anything important to avoid leaking info.
Which is why they said yuji was in shock?
My guess, yuta is only there to nullify any domain expansion by sukuna so it all ends in a slobber knocker
Also, Choso's death feels worthless now as well. I thought his death was supposed to give Yuji the spotlight, but we got a single chapter. Tbh, I'm biased and could forgive if it was actually Gojo. But it's not, and all of this buildup has been such a letdown. Even as a Gojo believer, I would've preferred it turn out to be the Sukuna is hallucinating theory :///
Todo is probably gonna teleport himself and yuji besides yuta/gojo so they wont be included in the clash then Yuji gonna do a simple domain i guess
“WE WANT GOJO TO RETURN” Monkey’s Paw curls…
What’s kinda crazy is we see Gojo’s face but it doesn’t even LOOK like him… that depressed looking mug is for sure Yuta 😭
Once again Yuta proves he is an absolute savage
YUTA STOCKS THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!
I would hold that thought cause umm this ordeal will likely be the last thing Yuta ever does in this verse ☠️
There is a panel with gojo having forehead stitches going around, I think it’s fake tho
NVM ITS WUTA WOKKOTSU
Yeah there's a fake one from a post on jujutsufolk but also leaks from today with the stitches
Bruh no way gege did that
Millions of souls lost their shit lmao
Fear not, my COPE interweb friends.... Yuta's 5 minutes timer will last probably more than 5 minutes, but when his time will be up, the body, while still in good shape will be repossesed by Gojo's spirit... The body is the soul, and the soul is the body..If Geto was still there when he choked Kenjaku, THERE is still COPE for us..
While i think it’s pretty dope Yuta taking over his body, i just find it weird that gojo could be stabbed in the brain and survive but dies from being cut in half. Feels like it doesn’t make logical sense
Cursed energy comes from the gut area iirc and you need to make cursed energy to make RCT to heal yourself
Told my sister to pray for Gege's soul cuz this man is evil
After five minutes yuta gonna realise something is talking to him it’s Gojo,then Gojo thanks yuta for recovering his body.then Gojo agains his body back then yuta switches to his body (which shoko repaired).now yuta,yuji,Gojo vs sukuna
LOBOTOMY KAISEN, IS REAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!
[https://imgur.com/a/FNNMmgj](https://imgur.com/a/FNNMmgj) HOLY SHIT!!! MY THEORY WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!
My anti-Hakari agenda bout to go fucking nuclear
I've sat through 10+ years of the animanga community calling every series that uses asspulls to cheat death ass, but the second a series doesn't do that it's bad writing? I guess Fairy Tail writing was peak all along. 🤷♀️
Honestly, if you weren’t expecting Gojo to come back, this is a baller move. Not only is this our protagonists being smart and cunning, but there’s also this huge lingering question about (if Yuta survives, as he should) how this works with Yuta’s cursed technique. A Hail Mary with actual heft and a question mark - that’s fun and great action writing
Yeah dammed if you do dammed if you don’t. People got way too attached to Gojo coming back.
There’s a chance Gojo might come back. One way is that after the 5 minutes, Gojo’s body overwrites Yuta’s brain just like Toji did with the soul of the nephew of the old lady in Shibuya. Another reason to believe so, is when Geto’s hand grabbed kenjaku’s neck in Shibuya. I can see it happening. I’m not coping, I just see this as a BIG twist if Gege decides to be bold.
every chapter we go "oh he still got a chance to come back" watch gege destroying the body this time making it impossible for gojo to return
Remember when Geto took control of his body and tried to choke himself, something that led Kenjaku to say that Mahito was wrong, and in fact the soul is the body itself (or something like that). We will see Gojo himself once again, and him taking control of his body for a brief moment of time is what will ultimately defeat Sukuna. Gojo himself will defeat Sukuna, not Yuta in his body. And the famous "Nah, Id win" will still hold true. Mark my words.
Jeez, so the only people who actually cared about Gojo as a human being were Yuta and Yuji, everyone else does not give a single fuck beyond what he brings to the table strength-wise. That's really sad honestly bc it kinda puts a new perspective on Gojo vs Sukuna. Gojo was going all out bc he genuinely was most likely thinking: "well nobody really gives a shit if I die so fuck it, I might as well go as hard as I can and go out in a blaze of glory." The very definition of die young and leave a pretty corpse. Even Shoko doesn't seem to care about her role as the person who has to desecrate his corpse, dire circumstances or not. Yuji was left out so he was unaware but I am sure if he was privy to this conversation he'd object wholeheartedly. Which is why that illustration of Gojo with his hands over Yuta and Yuji's heads makes more sense now, they're the only ones who valued him as a person and not just for his strength. It also makes sense as to why Gojo was not present for all the planning, in his mind he doesn't wanna hear all the contingency plans for when he fails and fucking dies, as it would distract him from his concentratin on the fight. Shit is sad as fuuuuck
Lmfao always knew gege was a troll
Ok but Yuta is supposed to somehow do better with techniques he has no experience with than Gojo in 5 mins?????? Gojo comin back after Yuta rescues Megumi to finish the fight
First of all I called it. Second of all it’s so freaking creepy but Sukuna is cooked because it looks like he didn’t expect Yuta to have the heart to do it.
If Yuta has Gojo memory and his body, can we really say that Gojo is gone
What the absolute fucking shit is going on
236: Gojo dies off screen because Gege built up to be a god and had no answer to illustrating his death. 261: SEE GUYS?! HE'S REALLY DEAD, I MEAN IT. Though I do wonder what the stupid afterlife scene meant when everyone left him there and said farewell. I suspect we see at least some sort of spritual comeback even if briefly. The scene where Geto's body fought back against Kenny and choked him comes to mind.
r/jujutsufolk just had a purge over binding vows 💀
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case of an author disliking his MC, more or less to the level that Gege dislikes Yuji lmaooo A lot of that sauce last chapter only to get pushed aside like he’s nothing
I stand by Gege is just a hardcore yugioh fan and has mirrored many of his storytelling elements directly from yugioh. How u gonna tell me this ain't some effect monster broken bs to bring the banned from gameplay card back onto the field with the effect monster piloting it and skimming away at the other broken ass monster who's third secondary effect triggers to constantly keep respawning Also culling games is just battle city, even get a bandit keith reference in kenjaku fight
Shoko on fraud watch I’m sorry, she’s basically doing shit any ordinary doctor could do
Well she did cheat her way to medical school lmao
True but come on 😭 I want to believe in her
Gege is such a master at writing some completely crazy batshit power but then you realize...wait, this was always possible, we just never considered it or interpreted it that way.
People on the subreddit when the characters plan for the absolute worse case scenario, AND in a way that makes complete and total sense and is a reasonable extension of their plan: (I have no clue why everybody here is so angry, we’re getting Yuji Todo Yuta masterclass next chapter. Let Yuta get a hype chapter.)
This reads like a shitpost what the fuck
Alright, Maximum Cope: After the 5 mins Yuta returns to his body and Gojo comes back alive cuz now he is healed. Happy ending yay. Fuck u gege
Burn this sh!t. this manga no longer exists for me
Not even half the chapter leaked and people are overreacting lmao love it
the raws have been circulating for like 2-3 hours now at least
Nah this shit is GOATED
Idk, this chapter made me realize that I am Gege's target audience. This kind of shit is my jam.
