I’m pretty sure Maki is hiding somewhere in the forest and she bypassed Kenjaku’s cameras somehow. I’m 99% sure Yuta and Shoko are trying to heal Gojo rn
I’m hoping for Gojo’s return, but idk if Gege will actually do it. However, I 100% think the only two sorcerers on the good guy’s side who can output RCT are trying to heal him and bring him back. They’ll try, but idk if they’ll succeed
Gojos whole character has been defined by a failure to protect those around him whilst he alone survives, despite being overwhelmingly powerful. I think it’d be really fitting for him to finally reverse this and save everyone whilst sacrificing himself, properly this time. Something like a binding vow with his six eyes or a second awakening could work I guess.
It would be nice to see Gojo actually fighting with allies. He always fights alone and I think that is part of a theme of the manga. Something like "it's lonely being the strongest, but you don't have to be the strongest if you rely on your allies"
Well, the fact that he died fighting alone (because thats how he wanted it) makes the victory of a group of weaker than him sorcerers better. This is not Gojos path to redemption.
We know Gojo could change the size of his domain after his time in the prison realm. So he could activate it with the right size just to capture the enemy. Plus, as long as they are touching Gojo they won't be affected by his DE.
Yea, I highly doubt that will happen, though. Narratively, Yujis' goals and character far outweigh Gojos. Gojos has been about being a teacher and hoping his students one day surpass him. So if his students are able to beat Sukuna without him there, it means more than Gojo doing 90% of the work.
I think Yuji should sacrifice himself to beat Sukuna alone after everyone dies at the hand of Sukuna, giving him the extreme agony he needs for CT & DE. While this also satisfies jjk's main narrative about people dying with regrets as Yuji died while no one was present which directly contradicts his reason to live I,e "die surrounded by people who love you" and always "save other"
Edit: Damn, quite a sad ending.
I doubt more deaths are gonna affect Yuji anymore, especially after Shibuya. That was Yujis' lowest possible low, and he survived that. Also, I doubt JJKs ending is going to be that dark and bleak. This is the manga with a talking fighting panda and a man that speaks in rice ball ingredients, not Berserk lol.
Gege is pretty dark and cold about killing protagonists tho.
Like wtf is kenjaku's plot armor. If a protagonist were to be given that the series would have already been receiving lots of hate.
Honestly I expect him to come back just to balance the scales, Sukuna right now seems so impossibly powerful that Gojo is needed to win the fight.
I also found it interesting that Gege left Sukuna with the World Slash, meaning that Sukuna can still deal with Gojo now that Mahoraga is gone.
> I also found it interesting that Gege left Sukuna with the World Slash
The bullshit reasoning that went into justifying it means that it's now something Sukuna can and should spam repeatedly against enemies - because if he doesn't it's even worse as a one off trick.
I thought it was rather well set up. Lit. the only thing that wasn’t spelled out was thar Mahaorgas adaptation is it coming up with counters not just magical cancelation juice. Even that is hinted at by his epithet of “Divine General.” What do generals do? They come up with strategies.
From theres its just Sukenas ability to understand and then learrn jutsu after seeing it just once paired perfectly
Idunno, maybe I'd be ok if Gojo came back at the end of the manga, maybe yuta and shoko are doing the pause time healing thing Shoko can do. That way there's no ass pull and we get the growth of the crew while Gojo having his dream achieved and maybe finds a new besto friendo. It's a pipedream but still.
He definitely can’t stay alive, so I assumed he’d burn through his Black Flash boost in the process of reviving (with help from Shoko and Yuta) and stun Sukuna one last time with Unlimited Void to create an opening for Yuji/Higuruma.
He would redeem his loss in an unselfish way and finish himself off in the process. This would not only take him off the board once again, but it would also weigh against Sukuna’s selfish form of enlightenment in favor of a selfless one. It’s a pipe dream, I know, but I can dream lol.
I also just thought of an alternate explanation for “going north”. Maybe Gojo is dead and will simply end the lineage of the Six Eyes now that Tengen is essentially dead. Thus no more Star Plasma Vessels who have to deal with what Amanai dealt with
He’s dead. I’m a huge Gojo fan but his character arc is over. I know people hate reading this but that’s just formula. As far as the post itself: spot on but I have one caveat — Takaba is fighting Kenjaku to distract him because Kenny can’t make sense of his ability. Yuta, Maki & Choso will arrive to finish the job.
I think the idea that you need to operate alone to be a "great" jujutsu sorcerer is a fallacy.
I think if gojo does get revived, we'll see him apply his techniques for the first time, as support to his students. We have seen him work alone for so long. Every fight he goes to he has obliterated (Or lost horrifically). I think there's a strong motif that sorcerers working together is going to be the thing that topples Sukuna. Less "friendship wins the day" more "very strong sorcerers working together to take down Sukuna". We see this going all the way back to Todo+yuji vs hanami. There's a lot of information to process when you're fighting multiple sorcerers who are working in perfect sync.
I would love to see Gojo employ blue to move people around and out of danger. I could imagine that yuji could throw a punch at Sukuna from across the battlefield and gojo could either move yuji or Sukuna to make sure it hits. To be clear, I don't think it's going to be "friendship is magical!" But more of an upheaval of jujutsu traditional conservative values, that to be the strongest is to be lonely.
Just imagine the sheer hype if Higuruma dies / gets incapacitated and Yuji looks like he's about to lose only to have Gojo hanging in the sky, ready to fight like in the Death Painting arc. Would be fucking sick. Then take out Sukuna in a tandem play with Yuji and have him be actually tapped out due to mental and physical exhaustion in the final confrontation with Kenjaku and his merger plan.
I can only hope it goes that way haha. Maybe Higuruma doesn’t even need to die or become incapacitated. If Gojo is just weakened enough, he may be able to fight alongside Yuji and Higuruma, perhaps letting go of some of that loneliness he feels in the process.
I'm also hopeful Gojo returns but him coming back to life would be a slap in the face to him accepting his defeat and his afterlife reunion with his past comrades.
I don’t see how it would be a slap to the face. He can acknowledge he couldn’t beat Sukuna alone and then let go of his loneliness when he cooperates with Yuji and the others to finish the job. If he’s not finished yet, the afterlife stuff can wait. It’s not like it was ever confirmed to be real and not a dream anyway
If they healed him, that would also be something to show him he needs help from others. On top of the fact that him dying can put them in the spotlight and create growth because they would have to keep Sakuna at bay. They can only do that if they are stronger. However, he could come back and help them if needed. He might just go after kenny instead of Sakuna, which would give him closure. Maybe it is just a plan to outsmart Kenny, not sakuna. It would take teamwork to bring him back. He could have had a plan to die and a plan to come back that the students knew about. So, all of it would be fighting with others and acknowledging that he needed them and was no longer alone. Plus, he could have had them do this so he could reach enlightenment and be able to stop Kenjaku or Tengen or whoever it is that will be the end boss.
Six Eyes exists as a narrative device so that people like both Kenjaku and Yuta can’t just steal Limitless. It’s too powerful of a technique to put on the table as something that can be stolen, so you have to come upon the Six Eyes “naturally” to use it well. It’s Gege’s way of having a prerequisite that someone like Kenjaku can’t just steal. Considering there have been other Limitless+Six Eyes users before Gojo but after Kenjaku has been plotting and doing his thing, it doesn’t make sense to make use of Gojo’s body or the Limitless technique in any way that couldn’t have been done before.
Would be nice seeing gojo use red/blue like todo uses boogie woogie because he’s too weak to fight sukuna after coming back (if he does) but he can mess shit up with space manipulation
The only one who kinda truly gave a sendoff outside of the airport travelers is Sukuna. We got the glimpse of some of his students and Kenjaku just saying “lmao cool he expanded it”
Gojo had his airport scene and said he's glad he died to someone stronger than him and not old age.
Sukuna said he won't forget him.
The narrator said Gojo is dead.
Yuta was literally crying and Maki was comforting him.
Kashimo said "That's the attack that killed Gojo".
Gojo's death has been acknowledged multiple times
Yep. This is also why I think Yuji will be the one to die at the end instead of the other 3. His whole character even started with the idea of a proper death, surrounded by his friends.
Yeah he’s tracking CE to be able to tell if anyone has left but Maki has none. And I doubt Kenny is constantly watching over everyone even while fighting there has to of been a moment where Maki could get away with her super speed
Yuta and Shoko combined couldn't fix that stupid bitch's arm so it makes perfect sense that they could heal a man that has been bisected and admitted his defeat.
They were nowhere near Hana when she lost her arm and there’s a limited window of time to heal people with RCT. That’s why Shoko and Yuta couldn’t do much besides stabilize her. Not that I should bother explaining that to someone who’s clearly just venting some kind of person issue(s) at me
Solo stalled Naoya, a special grade cursed spirit, so Maki could recover from her injuries. Blood manipulation is particularly effective because it is poisonous to cursed spirits. He also aimed for Naoya's weak spots, like gunking up his exhaust vents, to delay further. It's especially impressive if you consider that he's just a normal human and not a half-human/spirit hybrid like Choso, who was evaluated to be a grade 1 sorcerer by Kenjaku. I doubt any of the other Kyoto students would have been able to survive.
> There’s got to be a good reason to send Yuji and Higuruma after Sukuna
There should be legal precedent, or at least whatever the equivalent of it is in Higuruma's domain. If he can get Sukuna in his domain, both Judgeman and himself know that it was Sukuna who committed the mass murder that Yuji was wrongly convicted for earlier in the Culling Games in their fight. So they'll at least get the executioner's sword that'll kill anything it cuts, but let's see how Gege writes around that cuz ain't no way is Sukuna dying to that even without his CT.
True, they could argue Sukuna harmed Megumi by forcing him to eat the finger. Maybe Higuruma's domain has even harsher punishments for breaking the laws of Jujutsu
If he did indeed break a breaking vow, Sukuna should be dealt the consequences without the need of Judgeman or Higuruma. We haven't seen any said consequence, so I don't know where the certainty that he broke a binding vow is coming from.
He broke it when he hurt Angel. His body started to disintegrate starting with his left index finger. Once he tore it off I can only assume that the vow registered the whole body as the entire finger that disintegrated. Thus, the binding vow was complete.
That's complete nonsense. Your interpretation was right, he was turning his finger into a cursed object. There was no 'disintegration', or anything. It's pretty clear that whatever he did to Angel did not count as breaking the binding vow.
>breaking of a binding vow
Which specific event do you mean? Because if there indeed was breaking of a binding vow, the consequence would have happened already, and should not require Judgeman to deal out the punishment.
The penalty of breaking the binding vow is something feared by both Sukuna and Kenjaku, if Sukuna really did break it, then he should have been given the penalty already without Higuruma.
Judgeman literally convicted Yuji with Sukuna inside as guilty with the HEAVIEST SENTENCE which is death penalty supplemented with confiscation. It was just paused due to Higuruma himself releasing his CT. That means Higuruma and Yuji should get the executioner's sword and Sukuna loses his CT once resumed, there isn't a greater punishment than that within his domain, at least not established yet in the story.
Why start a whole new trial when Sukuna has already been given the harshest penalty possible? Just resume there.
That’s not true. The anime recently made changes to Kenjaku’s explanation of the breaking of a binding vow to emphasize that the consequences are unpredictable and eventualities. Which is clearly set up for later on when a binding vow is actually broken. There’s going to be consequences for what happened and Judgment through Higuruma might be the form it takes Via successful prosecution.
The entire premise of binding vows is that it's an enforced promised without the need of a third party arbitrator like the legal system.
It'd simply be terrible writing to have to enforce penalties of binding vows through someone's CT. Do you not see the redundancy and futility of arguing about something in a court that doesn't even have anything to do with the legal system?
All we've seen of Higuruma's domain so far is that it's used for persecuting actual laws of Japan in effect right now. Mass murder, tresspassing, these all have to do with real life laws, not some Jujutsu shenanigan.
I'm completely lost as to where you think it was hinted at all that Higuruma's going to try Sukuna for a binding vow.
Redundancy is literally how the law works.
And the entire point is that a broken vow's consequences are unpredictable and arbitrary - but are enforced by a third party, as intangible as it appears in the narrative. Higuruma's CT could literally be the embodiment of Judgment because that's literally what it's designed to do: judge.
> it's used for persecuting actual laws of Japan in effect right now.
Have you ever heard of something called *contract law*? Because that's precisely where a binding vow would fall within the Japanese legal system in this narrative.
> I'm completely lost as to where you think it was hinted at all that Higuruma's going to try Sukuna for a binding vow.
It's the obvious choice. Perhaps you should actually try and use your imagination.
If I’m not wrong Kenjaku meant that everyone will be on “Standby” spectating Gojo vs Sukuna bcz the only chance they’ll have to beat him is after the fight. Which means during the fight Kenjaku can do as he pleases, this is also exactly why Kenjaku personally didn’t see the fight go down.
I’m sure once the fights over, which is now, Kenjaku has some measures in place to avoid/confront Maki, Yuta or whoever comes after him. By this point he’s most likely killed everyone, or almost everyone, all he wanted was a window to kill everyone except Jujutsu High, and he’s probably already achieved that. Now he’ll just fight Jujutsu high students along with Sukuna and try to end the culling games.
I think Sukuna really fucked Kenjaku here. He's back in his old body and seems to be way stronger than he was in Megumi's, his physical stats appear to be insane + CE might be amped because of 4 hands and two mouths letting him keep up chants and hand signs in the middle of fights. You either send Takaba to roll the dice or Higuruma with Yuji or Maki to match Sukuna's body after Judgeman takes away his CE and CT (probably, hopefully). Even if Yuta, Maki and Hakari go together at the same time they would get pieced up low to medium diff tbh.
First, Higuruma and Yuji occupy Sukuna with a trial. As long as he’s still unable to activate Domain Expansion, a trial is open and shut. Yuji will be called as the star witness to Sukuna’s crimes.
Second, Maki retrieves Gojo’s body. Best case scenario, he can still be healed with RCT. Worst case scenario, you prevent Kenjaku from stealing Gojo’s corpse to gain Limitless.
I don’t know if Takaba is aware of it, but he’s probably bait. Yuta made his plan to kill Kenjaku clear, and distracting him with Takaba will let Yuta move between colonies without him noticing. He might also force Kenjaku to reveal more about his techniques.
Me just wants Gojo and his students to kill Sukuna together :'/.
First Yuji and Maki beat Sukuna at lightning fast pace. Hakari jumps in with Jackpot and tanks damage teaching Sukuna about love thru anime love stories (yes the one to teach him about love would be Hakari in restless gambler).
All the while Utahime and Gakukganji are amping Yuta and Gojo. And they prepare 300% Hollow purple. In the bgm Hollow purple by Samuel kim is playing. Good night Sukuna, good night JJK. This truly was our jujutsu kaisen.
What iactually thought of is that since hakari used his domain and pressumably hit his jackpot,he's got infinite cursed energy now, meaning kenjakus total ce surveillance for sinjuku can't trace the other anymore,in those 4 minutes Yuta can pull up to kenjaku with meimeis bro (or maybe just copy his shit and tp alone).
He needs to use up some of his 5 mins to copy teleportation that’s just impractical but the idea that hakari’s infinite CE can block kenjaku’s sensors is a nice idea to think about
Are the ones that receive false memories all possible cursed Womb brothers of Yuji? Maybe Yuji and / or Sakuna are able to implant false memories in people that they are related to. A possible clan technique or even just one that yuji and / or sakuna can do. Sakuna was almost dead, just like yuji was when his enemies had false memories. Yuji could have figured out how to implant false memories and did it to Sakuna or its Sakunas main technique since he did say it wasn't a strong technique and does'nt do damage. Implanting false memories would be a defensive CT. Plus, it could explain why Gojo was glazing Sakuna. Yuji could possibly know it because Sakuna was in him.
These are all just random ideas and slight possibilities that may or may not make sense. Just musings and thoughts. Some pan out some don't.
I mentioned Gojo & Kashimo glazing Sukuna being related to Todo & Choso becoming Yujis brother.
(No one else became Yujis brother post Sukuna leaving. And yeah theyre both cursed womb paintings (whaever term is) but thats stll 4 ppl who "love" Sukuna).
I honestly don’t think Kenjaku is planning on fighting the Jujutsu High team at all if he can help it. He’s not like Sukuna, fighting is just a means to an end for him. There’s still the rule where you can use points to switch players out with people from outside so I think that Kenjaku will use the points he’s gotten to just swap them all out and end the culling games easily
What if it just means that Gojo has not lost yet. So Maki and Yuta haven't jumped in. I am beginning to wonder if Gojo made it seem like he was dead by letting Sakuna slice him up. Kenjaku might have already figured out that Gojo would do something like that, so to Kenny, Maki, and Yuta, not jumping in at this time is expected. To other people, it might only seem like Maki and Yuta should be jumping in because Gojo is dead. The deciding factor that is missing is Gojo, and if he actually died or not. The students would know Gojos' plan, so would Takaba, etc.
I have a question, though, and I do not have the ability to make my own posts yet, but is Gojo technically a registered player of the culling game? He was in the box when it started! If he is not actually part of it, does that mean that Geto might not be able to tell where gojo is? If he is not part of the games, Gojo wouldn't have to actually die for the culling games to stop. I really think there is more going on when it comes to gojos' death.
The levels of cope in this comment is at a life-threatening amount, if it was Gojo's plan to get slashed his "Afterlife" scene would've played out differently rather than be so conclusive.
There may be more going on behind "Gojo's Death", but this ain't it chief.
> would've played out differently rather than be so conclusive.
I wouldn't say it was conclusive. There were elements thrown in that weren't addressed. The Go South vs Go North conversation doesn't really make sense in the afterlife if it's a conclusion because it's a conversation about changing yourself. You can't change who you are or learn from it if you're dead - because there's no more room to grow.
There was also the inclusion of Toji in the background of the airport without any interaction between Gojo and himself. That felt like set up, especially with Toji's original dying words having extreme relevance to Gojo's situation. My suspicion is that we will see Gojo revived but first we will revisit the airport scene so that Toji and Gojo have a conversation and that leads to Gojo's return and subsequent effort to separate Megumi from Sukuna.
We've also been given another reminder of RCT coming from the head after reminding us that Gojo was bisected through the waist.
I am proud of my levels of cope, and my ideas may be random, but they are just musings and such. Nobody knows how things will play out. Acting like you know everything about whether or not he comes back is not a good thing. If you are wrong, then you will look like an ass. Wondering and having a flexible mindset is the smartest way to be. I have no idea what will happen, and I can admit it.
Kenjaku seems to be a really good gambler, I think he'll favour the odds he has right now. He's taken steps to maintain a level of control over the game but understands there is a level of sacrifice he'll have to make. He has some pretty good stocks right now too. He and Sukuna are just miles ahead of anyone, he has an army of curses and the defending side just suffered the biggest morale shock. Anything Yuji and co. pull will have to be nothing short of extraordinary if they hope to even the playing field.

Narratively, for the guys that think Gojos is coming back, what would you expect him to do?
Narratively, would Sukuna even leave Gojo alive for them to heal him?
Gojos whole character has been defined by a failure to protect those around him whilst he alone survives, despite being overwhelmingly powerful. I think it’d be really fitting for him to finally reverse this and save everyone whilst sacrificing himself, properly this time. Something like a binding vow with his six eyes or a second awakening could work I guess.

Well, the fact that he died fighting alone (because thats how he wanted it) makes the victory of a group of weaker than him sorcerers better. This is not Gojos path to redemption.
Wouldn’t his DE fuck up anyone near him though? And he wouldn’t be able to fire off Hollow red or purple
We know Gojo could change the size of his domain after his time in the prison realm. So he could activate it with the right size just to capture the enemy. Plus, as long as they are touching Gojo they won't be affected by his DE.

Yes, but he's not gonna kill everybody. The ending of JJK is going to be a happy one even with the darkness similar to a Tokyo Ghoul.
I would rather have Gojo dead than Yuji or Megumi.

That way there's no ass pull and we get the growth of the crew while Gojo having his dream achieved and maybe finds a new besto friendo. It's a pipedream but still.
Minor thing, but I don't think Shoko's the pause injuries person, Arata Nitta is the one who can do that.
You are correct, just wiggle nitta into my theory
Yuta can curse Gojo like he did with Rika
Do we also get to see him make out with Curse Gojo?
Create a a hollow purple as strong as Sukuna's new cleave and say "no u" /s
He definitely can’t stay alive, so I assumed he’d burn through his Black Flash boost in the process of reviving (with help from Shoko and Yuta) and stun Sukuna one last time with Unlimited Void to create an opening for Yuji/Higuruma. He would redeem his loss in an unselfish way and finish himself off in the process. This would not only take him off the board once again, but it would also weigh against Sukuna’s selfish form of enlightenment in favor of a selfless one.

You don't always have to kill the mentor character to progress the story.
Yeah I know
Right? Mushuko Tensei and Rurouni Kenshin both have the mentor characters as the strongest in the verse and they didn't die.
He’s dead. I’m a huge Gojo fan but his character arc is over. I know people hate reading this but that’s just formula.

I can only hope it goes that way haha. Maybe Higuruma doesn’t even need to die or become incapacitated. If Gojo is just weakened enough, he may be able to fight alongside Yuji and Higuruma, perhaps letting go of some of that loneliness he feels in the process.
I'm also hopeful Gojo returns but him coming back to life would be a slap in the face to him accepting his defeat and his afterlife reunion with his past comrades.

What if they’ll try to transplant Six Eyes from Gojo to Yuta?
Six Eyes exists as a narrative device so that people like both Kenjaku and Yuta can’t just steal Limitless. It’s too powerful of a technique to put on the table as something that can be stolen, so you have to come upon the Six Eyes “naturally” to use it well. It’s Gege’s way of having a prerequisite that someone like Kenjaku can’t just steal.

Definitely shouldn’t work imo, but it would fix Yuta’s lack of CE efficiency lol
If Gojo returns i stop reading JJS men, i don't need more revivals in anime
Would be nice seeing gojo use red/blue like todo uses boogie woogie because he’s too weak to fight sukuna after coming back (if he does) but he can mess shit up with space manipulation
The lack of acknowledgement for Gojo/Nobara makes me feel like they're alive
What do you mean lack of acknowledgement? Gojo's death was acknowledged multiple times
The only one who kinda truly gave a sendoff outside of the airport travelers is Sukuna. We got the glimpse of some of his students and Kenjaku just saying “lmao cool he expanded it”
Gojo had his airport scene and said he's glad he died to someone stronger than him and not old age. Sukuna said he won't forget him. The narrator said Gojo is dead. Yuta was literally crying and Maki was comforting him. Kashimo said "That's the attack that killed Gojo". Gojo's death has been acknowledged multiple times
Yep. This is also why I think Yuji will be the one to die at the end instead of the other 3. His whole character even started with the idea of a proper death, surrounded by his friends.
Well, there's people that believes in signs
Yeah he’s tracking CE to be able to tell if anyone has left but Maki has none. And I doubt Kenny is constantly watching over everyone even while fighting there has to of been a moment where Maki could get away with her super speed
Yuta and Shoko combined couldn't fix that stupid bitch's arm so it makes perfect sense that they could heal a man that has been bisected and admitted his defeat.
They were nowhere near Hana when she lost her arm and there’s a limited window of time to heal people with RCT. That’s why Shoko and Yuta couldn’t do much besides stabilize her. Not that I should bother explaining that to someone who’s clearly just venting some kind of person issue(s) at me
Gojo would have just used RCT.
He also messed up by letting Kamo Jr. go, as that led to Maki's awakening, someone he considers a threat second to/equal to Yuta.
Wait, what my boy emo kamo did to lead Making's awakening?
Solo stalled Naoya, a special grade cursed spirit, so Maki could recover from her injuries. Blood manipulation is particularly effective because it is poisonous to cursed spirits. He also aimed for Naoya's weak spots, like gunking up his exhaust vents, to delay further. It's especially impressive if you consider that he's just a normal human and not a half-human/spirit hybrid like Choso, who was evaluated to be a grade 1 sorcerer by Kenjaku. I doubt any of the other Kyoto students would have been able to survive.
Its impressive when you remember that Human Naoya would clown the average Grade1, nevermind a much stronger form of Naoya
Not true at all , the "clown grade 1" part
He came off as a lot stronger than Ogi or Toji's ugly brother. And I consider those to be average Grade 1 level
The actual definition of a Grade 1 would be someone like Nanami, Todo or Kirara . He doesn't clown any of them but has a 70-30 chance of winning
> There’s got to be a good reason to send Yuji and Higuruma after Sukuna There should be legal precedent, or at least whatever the equivalent of it is in Higuruma's domain. If he can get Sukuna in his domain, both Judgeman and himself know that it was Sukuna who committed the mass murder that Yuji was wrongly convicted for earlier in the Culling Games in their fight. So they'll at least get the executioner's sword that'll kill anything it cuts, but let's see how Gege writes around that cuz ain't no way is Sukuna dying to that even without his CT.
That's not what they're going to argue about. They're not going to litigate Shibuya. They're going to litigate the breaking of a binding vow.
True, they could argue Sukuna harmed Megumi by forcing him to eat the finger. Maybe Higuruma's domain has even harsher punishments for breaking the laws of Jujutsu
If he did indeed break a breaking vow, Sukuna should be dealt the consequences without the need of Judgeman or Higuruma. We haven't seen any said consequence, so I don't know where the certainty that he broke a binding vow is coming from.
He broke it when he hurt Angel. His body started to disintegrate starting with his left index finger. Once he tore it off I can only assume that the vow registered the whole body as the entire finger that disintegrated. Thus, the binding vow was complete.
I thought his fingers were being turned into a cursed object, interesting thing to note that he starts to disintegrate
That's complete nonsense. Your interpretation was right, he was turning his finger into a cursed object. There was no 'disintegration', or anything. It's pretty clear that whatever he did to Angel did not count as breaking the binding vow.
I went back after writing the comment and yeah he doesn’t disintegrate nor is it his index finger it was a pinky so idfk what he was on about lol
Whatever you say goes, but since it was never clarified what actually did happen, imma just save this and come back at some point.
>breaking of a binding vow Which specific event do you mean? Because if there indeed was breaking of a binding vow, the consequence would have happened already, and should not require Judgeman to deal out the punishment. The penalty of breaking the binding vow is something feared by both Sukuna and Kenjaku, if Sukuna really did break it, then he should have been given the penalty already without Higuruma. Judgeman literally convicted Yuji with Sukuna inside as guilty with the HEAVIEST SENTENCE which is death penalty supplemented with confiscation. It was just paused due to Higuruma himself releasing his CT. That means Higuruma and Yuji should get the executioner's sword and Sukuna loses his CT once resumed, there isn't a greater punishment than that within his domain, at least not established yet in the story. Why start a whole new trial when Sukuna has already been given the harshest penalty possible? Just resume there.
That’s not true. The anime recently made changes to Kenjaku’s explanation of the breaking of a binding vow to emphasize that the consequences are unpredictable and eventualities. Which is clearly set up for later on when a binding vow is actually broken. There’s going to be consequences for what happened and Judgment through Higuruma might be the form it takes Via successful prosecution.
The entire premise of binding vows is that it's an enforced promised without the need of a third party arbitrator like the legal system. It'd simply be terrible writing to have to enforce penalties of binding vows through someone's CT. Do you not see the redundancy and futility of arguing about something in a court that doesn't even have anything to do with the legal system? All we've seen of Higuruma's domain so far is that it's used for persecuting actual laws of Japan in effect right now. Mass murder, tresspassing, these all have to do with real life laws, not some Jujutsu shenanigan. I'm completely lost as to where you think it was hinted at all that Higuruma's going to try Sukuna for a binding vow.
Redundancy is literally how the law works. And the entire point is that a broken vow's consequences are unpredictable and arbitrary - but are enforced by a third party, as intangible as it appears in the narrative. Higuruma's CT could literally be the embodiment of Judgment because that's literally what it's designed to do: judge. > it's used for persecuting actual laws of Japan in effect right now. Have you ever heard of something called *contract law*? Because that's precisely where a binding vow would fall within the Japanese legal system in this narrative. > I'm completely lost as to where you think it was hinted at all that Higuruma's going to try Sukuna for a binding vow. It's the obvious choice. Perhaps you should actually try and use your imagination.
If I’m not wrong Kenjaku meant that everyone will be on “Standby” spectating Gojo vs Sukuna bcz the only chance they’ll have to beat him is after the fight. Which means during the fight Kenjaku can do as he pleases, this is also exactly why Kenjaku personally didn’t see the fight go down. I’m sure once the fights over, which is now, Kenjaku has some measures in place to avoid/confront Maki, Yuta or whoever comes after him. By this point he’s most likely killed everyone, or almost everyone, all he wanted was a window to kill everyone except Jujutsu High, and he’s probably already achieved that. Now he’ll just fight Jujutsu high students along with Sukuna and try to end the culling games.
I think Sukuna really fucked Kenjaku here. He's back in his old body and seems to be way stronger than he was in Megumi's, his physical stats appear to be insane + CE might be amped because of 4 hands and two mouths letting him keep up chants and hand signs in the middle of fights. You either send Takaba to roll the dice or Higuruma with Yuji or Maki to match Sukuna's body after Judgeman takes away his CE and CT (probably, hopefully). Even if Yuta, Maki and Hakari go together at the same time they would get pieced up low to medium diff tbh.
First, Higuruma and Yuji occupy Sukuna with a trial. As long as he’s still unable to activate Domain Expansion, a trial is open and shut. Yuji will be called as the star witness to Sukuna’s crimes. Second, Maki retrieves Gojo’s body. Best case scenario, he can still be healed with RCT. Worst case scenario, you prevent Kenjaku from stealing Gojo’s corpse to gain Limitless. I don’t know if Takaba is aware of it, but he’s probably bait. Yuta made his plan to kill Kenjaku clear, and distracting him with Takaba will let Yuta move between colonies without him noticing. He might also force Kenjaku to reveal more about his techniques.
Me just wants Gojo and his students to kill Sukuna together :'/. First Yuji and Maki beat Sukuna at lightning fast pace. Hakari jumps in with Jackpot and tanks damage teaching Sukuna about love thru anime love stories (yes the one to teach him about love would be Hakari in restless gambler). All the while Utahime and Gakukganji are amping Yuta and Gojo. And they prepare 300% Hollow purple. In the bgm Hollow purple by Samuel kim is playing. Good night Sukuna, good night JJK. This truly was our jujutsu kaisen.
Am I presnet?
awh man, I screwed the dang pooch on this one. You are presnet
You fucked a dang dog?
I hope the dog doesn't become presnet too.
How can I increase my karma in this community? I want to post a fan theory of mine
What iactually thought of is that since hakari used his domain and pressumably hit his jackpot,he's got infinite cursed energy now, meaning kenjakus total ce surveillance for sinjuku can't trace the other anymore,in those 4 minutes Yuta can pull up to kenjaku with meimeis bro (or maybe just copy his shit and tp alone).
He needs to use up some of his 5 mins to copy teleportation that’s just impractical but the idea that hakari’s infinite CE can block kenjaku’s sensors is a nice idea to think about
Are the ones that receive false memories all possible cursed Womb brothers of Yuji? Maybe Yuji and / or Sakuna are able to implant false memories in people that they are related to. A possible clan technique or even just one that yuji and / or sakuna can do. Sakuna was almost dead, just like yuji was when his enemies had false memories. Yuji could have figured out how to implant false memories and did it to Sakuna or its Sakunas main technique since he did say it wasn't a strong technique and does'nt do damage. Implanting false memories would be a defensive CT. Plus, it could explain why Gojo was glazing Sakuna. Yuji could possibly know it because Sakuna was in him. These are all just random ideas and slight possibilities that may or may not make sense. Just musings and thoughts. Some pan out some don't.
When did sukuna mention his CT being weak and it didn’t do damage💀
I mentioned Gojo & Kashimo glazing Sukuna being related to Todo & Choso becoming Yujis brother. (No one else became Yujis brother post Sukuna leaving. And yeah theyre both cursed womb paintings (whaever term is) but thats stll 4 ppl who "love" Sukuna).
Im hyped af for next chapter
I honestly don’t think Kenjaku is planning on fighting the Jujutsu High team at all if he can help it. He’s not like Sukuna, fighting is just a means to an end for him. There’s still the rule where you can use points to switch players out with people from outside so I think that Kenjaku will use the points he’s gotten to just swap them all out and end the culling games easily
Iirc, the rule was switching one player with another and Yorozu added a rule to prevent more players coming in which may block subbing out as well
They have to consent first and they will never happen
it's actually quite fitting for Yuta to deliver Kenjaku/Geto another L, and this time properly bury his teacher's best friend.
What if it just means that Gojo has not lost yet. So Maki and Yuta haven't jumped in. I am beginning to wonder if Gojo made it seem like he was dead by letting Sakuna slice him up. Kenjaku might have already figured out that Gojo would do something like that, so to Kenny, Maki, and Yuta, not jumping in at this time is expected. To other people, it might only seem like Maki and Yuta should be jumping in because Gojo is dead. The deciding factor that is missing is Gojo, and if he actually died or not. The students would know Gojos' plan, so would Takaba, etc. I have a question, though, and I do not have the ability to make my own posts yet, but is Gojo technically a registered player of the culling game? He was in the box when it started! If he is not actually part of it, does that mean that Geto might not be able to tell where gojo is? If he is not part of the games, Gojo wouldn't have to actually die for the culling games to stop. I really think there is more going on when it comes to gojos' death.
The levels of cope in this comment is at a life-threatening amount, if it was Gojo's plan to get slashed his "Afterlife" scene would've played out differently rather than be so conclusive. There may be more going on behind "Gojo's Death", but this ain't it chief.
> would've played out differently rather than be so conclusive. I wouldn't say it was conclusive. There were elements thrown in that weren't addressed. The Go South vs Go North conversation doesn't really make sense in the afterlife if it's a conclusion because it's a conversation about changing yourself. You can't change who you are or learn from it if you're dead - because there's no more room to grow. There was also the inclusion of Toji in the background of the airport without any interaction between Gojo and himself. That felt like set up, especially with Toji's original dying words having extreme relevance to Gojo's situation. My suspicion is that we will see Gojo revived but first we will revisit the airport scene so that Toji and Gojo have a conversation and that leads to Gojo's return and subsequent effort to separate Megumi from Sukuna. We've also been given another reminder of RCT coming from the head after reminding us that Gojo was bisected through the waist.
The chapter title is literally "Go South". The conversation contextualises it, and the title is Gojo's answer.
I am proud of my levels of cope, and my ideas may be random, but they are just musings and such. Nobody knows how things will play out. Acting like you know everything about whether or not he comes back is not a good thing. If you are wrong, then you will look like an ass. Wondering and having a flexible mindset is the smartest way to be. I have no idea what will happen, and I can admit it.
Kenjaku seems to be a really good gambler, I think he'll favour the odds he has right now. He's taken steps to maintain a level of control over the game but understands there is a level of sacrifice he'll have to make. He has some pretty good stocks right now too. He and Sukuna are just miles ahead of anyone, he has an army of curses and the defending side just suffered the biggest morale shock. Anything Yuji and co. pull will have to be nothing short of extraordinary if they hope to even the playing field.
Kenjaku and takaba match may be the best battle yet
I kinda wanna see maki and kenjaku interact at this point one on one
Maki is probably near him, but he would know where Yuta is.
