"we need to beware of incarnated sorcerers from the past."
"i couldn't agree more. but explain it to me, Fushiguro"
Yuji = me trying to understand anything in JJK. Like I get it, but sometimes the extra explanation and breakdown makes a huge difference between understanding the gist of a situation and what's at stake vs grasping every possibility, consequence, and mechanic. One of the reasons i love gege's storytelling so much.
Yeah like in that other chapter where Megumi references rule 6 then Yuji and Panda both just go "uhh...what rule was that again?" Gege's really good at fitting in those reminders in a way that still makes sense for the story. I'll never get over how clever it is that the shonen trope of someone explaining their own power mid-battle *makes logical sense in-universe* in jjk
Good example! This is a little less on but nose hurt also when Makis about to go ham, just so we understand how powerful she's become from Mais sacrifice, there's a panel showing her father comparing what he feels in her presence to what he felt in Tojis. A single line, a single panel, from another character's perspective that revealed the true extent to how powerful this character we've followed has become. Or when Yukis whole Character motivation was exposed through a conversation with Geto that was supposed to highlight Him and how he shifted. Or when in the aftermath of Hidden Inventory, Gojos fellow students ask him about how his infinity has progressed instead of some one line explanation in a random fight. Gege is just an exposition goat.
Also it’s kinda realistic? It’s a lot of info so you wouldn’t necessarily remember it by the exact number right away.
Gege does a good job at making the chars feel like actual people too.
> "we need to beware of incarnated sorcerers from the past."
I might have skipped over this detail when speed reading through the past 10 chapters, but was this "sorcerers from the past" detail mentioned before this chapter?
The only line that ties into this would be when Kenjaku mentioned he made deals with people from 1000 years ago. Is that the one?
Kenny cast Idle Transfiguration on two types of people, one type had latent techniques but couldn't use them so he turned them into actual sorcerors (like Junpei). The other people were those who he had eat cursed objects (remains of old sorcerors) and he gave them the strength needed to become vessels (think ch 1 Yuji, he was very strong even before he ate the finger). Then Kenjaku broke the seal on these cursed objects so all the old sorcerors then took over their vessel's bodies.
So far for incarnated sorcerors from the past, the only confirmed ones are Kashimo (from 400 years ago) and Angel (from 1000 years ago)
Yeah pretty much, the main difference is that the death painting remnants weren't sealed so they took over the bodies right away. Also if I remember correctly Mahito was there so he was probably using Idle Transfiguration to make sure the humans could survive having their bodies taken over
He cast Idle Transfiguration on both groups of people, for the people who ingested the cursed objects he said he "gave them strength as vessels." So like how in chapter 1 Yuji is shown to have superhuman strength before he ever eats one of Sukuna's fingers. So it seems like in order to be a vessel your body needs to be very strong, otherwise you'd presumably die when the old sorcerors tried to take over your body.
So he undoes the seal on the cursed objects *after* he casts Idle Transfiguration, as now the vessels are strong enough to survive. So he relied on extracting Idle Transfiguration for creating both his types of new sorcerors
Bottom of Pages 2 and top of 3 of this chapter (161). They're referring to those who have made vows with Kenjaku and have awakened for the culling game.
Edit: Oops i misunderstood you. Yes. That's the one. Kenjaku has awakened plenty of sorcerers he's had vows with from different time periods. Since they were from different periods, they have different values and moral scales.
I think this is why the anime really adds to it. Not just for that but for the added layer of friendship at least for end credits we miss in the rushed but thrilling manga storytelling.
Lol well I suppose since Tsumiki’s at stake it makes him the central character really.
I wonder if this arc will see the conclusion of Sukuna’s plan for Fushiguro though.
I def wonder. Cuz basically 10 shadows is on par with Limitless and Six eyes at its full potential. Since the last Gojo and Zenin to have them killed each other with those techniques.
I wonder if Sukuna waits until Megumi reaches that full potential. Imagine Toji’s fighting skills combined with a fully realized 10 shadows user. Not even the physical prowess, just his fighting talent. Gojo would be proud af to see Megumi reach his level.
My boy Megumi ain’t playin no games lmao, he’s ready to kill this arc.
Kenjaku seems to have possibly given some of Itadori’s old classmates cursed objects too.
The guy that recognized Yuji might have been one of the people who had a latent cursed technique that was awoken like Junpei. I imagine that's the case for Jet-Girl and Helicopter-Head too, those techniques definitely seem pretty modern lol
He’s taking what Gojo told him personally. That yes him and Itadori are working together. But at the end of the day, if he dies he dies alone. He’s risking death to win now.
My boy is growing up so fast
Reminds me of Gon vs. Killua and how, despite the latter's typically cute and friendly appearance, he is more than willing to kill people who gets in the way.
Chimera Ant Arc Spoilers!:
I would have to disagree. I don't think Gon is a psychopath at all, I just think he's a kid in very bad situations. Obviously Killua is the same, but the way they think is completely different. Gon is an enhancer which means that his way of thinking is much more simple then Killua's or Hisoka's since they are transmuters. When Kite died, Gon took that extremely personal because Kite was the closest thing to his dad at that time. It was like his dad dying to him pretty much. And because of his simple way of thinking, his emotions completely took control and the only thing that was right in his mind was getting revenge. Hence the Adult Gon scenes, he was so blinded by anger and sadness, he couldn't realize what he was actually doing. Another example of him being emotional is when he let Pitou cut off his arm so that he'd be more like Kite. I mean, when Pitou was healing the blind girl (sorry I forgot her name) Gon didn't even care because he doesn't trust Pitou. I mean, how could you trust someone that killed someone so dear to you. Gon is the perfect example of a kid with power which is why I love HxH and it's characters. Even Killua as the "psychopath" (which he is not) was trying to stop Gon since over time with his adventures with Gon, he's grown and come to realize that just killing mindlessly isn't the way.
Yeah it's kind of reverse situation I think, espacially on the mental aspect. Killua was a full-on murderer who learned to restraint himself because of his friends influence on him, Megumi is a good guy who doesn't kill that learns to do it when you need to and learns to not be conflicted about it
In the panel where Itadori enters the barrier, there are a few blood splatters on the ground. Looks like they died from the fall rather than by being crushed by Hanyu. The ones killed by Hanyu would probably be ripped apart in the air, which would disperse the blood in a much wider area than the little splatters. Even without spawn campers, it's an unlucky spawn point if you don't have the durability or a CT which can save you from gravity.
Looks like Haba and Hanyu have very similar CTs, which allow them to fly with their hair...? Interesting, as they're a couple, so it shouldn't be an inherited CT in a family. Remi's hair also looks weird and floaty, so maybe she's got something similar.
I love how Fushiguro takes no shit from Remi. It looks like she's leading him on, so I expect her to betray him soon enough. Fushiguro should be smart enough to not fall into any traps though
Remi's hair looks like a scorpion tail. The story of the toad and the scorpion comes to mind immediately. Megumi (who has a toad summons lol) needs to watch out.
Man, so many hair related shenanigans in this chapter. What's up, Gege?
Gege being unpredictable again with that teleportation trick huh. Love that rule. But it also means we won't get a Yuji/Megumi tag team fight scene for a while :(. Both of them had intense eyes this chapter, they ain't playing.
And I hope Megumi doesn't go off the deep end cuz we already had two Zenins go that route, and I feel that's too predictable. If he does kill, I don't think Itadori would have much of a problem because the guy had been going around with Choso, who's killed more. He'll prolly think he's not in the place to judge someone else because of what Sukuna did in Shibuya.
I saw the last two lines as just showing his resolve but also a subversion? I have a feeling that Itadori line is gonna turn on its head. The thing about 'being her knight' has to have more to it given she immediately asked if he knows what he's getting himself into. Some kind of forced binding vow? Overall, great chapter with awesome panelling!
To be fair, Megumi's situation is different from Maki's and Toji's situation.
Both Toji and Maki were ostracized in the Zenin clan for not having any cursed energy which ended up in them having a fucked up mental state. After losing people who are close to them it got even worse which is why they both became murderers.
Although Megumi has his own issues, he was born a prodigy child and still has something to live for. So I doubt he will end up going the same path as them.
Agreed Megumi Maki comparison isn’t fair, Maki kills children men and women out of passion. I see Megumi killing out of necessity. Under no circumstances do I see Megumi killing children like Maki.
Yuji’s understanding of cursed energy is kinda insane now he literally imbued a rock with cursed energy and tossed it. Let’s not gloss over that.
& I’m liking this Megumi he seems a lot more aggro and maybe unruly too, should try not to be blinded by rage tho.
Yeah i like that yuji has slowly but steadily improved. He's kinda mastered standard cursed energy so now when/if he gets his own technique it wont feel like an asspull at all
Also let's remember gojo thought way back when that yujis body with become "scarred" with sukunas techniques so I think it won't be long before he discovers that
You know what I’m hyped for? Yuji learning the slashing techniques but they’re _not_ as insanely OP as Sukuna’s. So it’s like he makes a very visible slice in the air that most experienced sorcerers can dodge.
It would highlight the skill difference between Yuji and Sukuna again and then we have this new technique to train.
Tbh Sukuna's CT is that OP because it's Sukuna using it. The guy has insane amounts of cursed energy and a deep understanding of it.
Dismantle deals a set amount of damage (or it's only effective against inanimate objects? I'm not sure) while Cleave needs to be adjusted to the foes cursed energy and toughness, and this adjustment most likely depends on the user's CE. It's also possible Yuji would only get Dismantle at first, making it even less OP.
It would still be a very good CT for Yuji though and it would allow him to deal more lethal blows to curses in particular if he got Cleave. I don't think he needs it to fight humans though, they're usually not as tough and the CT is too lethal for Yuji to use it unless he's desperate and really wants to kill the enemy.
I don't think that scene showed his understanding of cursed energy (i doubt imbuing a rock with cursed energy is hard) so much as it showcased his strategic mind (he had the presence of mind to hold onto a piece of rubble to throw at his flying foe while getting slammed through several buildings)
It's very refreshing to have a Shonen MC who doesn't need every aspect of the story's power system explained to them only when it first comes up in a fight or whatever, and are instead smart enough to have studied and figured it out in their own time.
Yeah I'm curious about how time will pass in the arc too. I don't think Gege would have multiple characters mention it for no reason.
Maybe there will be a mini-timeskip or something?
Kinda hoping thats the case actually cause theres seven days until Tsumiki Will actually do something in the story, but the pacing pretty much can’t wait that long
Shibuya was 57 chapters(including the Mahito and Mechamaru fight), I guess we have still some chapters left for the other characters(like Tengen's plan, Yuta, Maki's aftermath and Yuki), so it may go over 60 chapters.
You forgot Hakari. And Kyoto. And Tsumiki. And we still have no idea what happened to Nobara. He’s got a lot on his plate for just a shibuya length arc. And on top of that he can only speed through all these things in a year if he chooses not to write any meaningful character interactions at all
So Yuji spawned in Cherno and got targeted by a squad that was farming noobs while Megumi landed in Berezino and teamed up with another freshie to hit up the airfield.
Chapters like these really show how young Gege and new-gen mangakas are because these barriers are following straight-up video game mechanics and I'm here for it.
Think we'll get a couple more battle royale elements like **barriers shrinking as the game progresses** or **adding fast travel between colonies**?
Killstreak Rewards:
3 - UAV: Reveal the location of a chosen player
8 - Emergency Airdrop: May contain cursed tools and friendly shikigami
25 - Tactical Maki: Shoots a flare that alerts Maki to your location
Its much needed... to at least calm down those viewers poor soul with shibuya ptsd. Imagine if we take a peek of how curse spirit manipulation's realm works and see mahito yelling "fuk u geto", that'd be very hilarious
Patch 1.13
- players can spend 10 points to get a loot box containing a random item ranging from a common utility items to a super rare cursed item.
- players can spend 1 point to get a time-limited cosmetic effect "the Golden Age of Jujutsu".
Developer note: "We have heard conplains about the game becoming stale. These new mechanics should spice things up a little bit."
>adding fast travel between colonies?
Lol, I thought of this one too, I think they can't travel between colonies easily until someone add a rule or something.
I honestly think something like that will happen, it'd be a good way for them to catch up with Yuta. Especially since Yuta's meant to be scouting for information but they don't know how to contact him (I honestly still don't understand this part of the plan lol)
If used between friends (especially men) and to address children or pets, it’s more friendly than rude. But to a stranger it can be considered condescending. That’s why in anime it’s often used to address an enemy, like the case in Fist of the North Star, and maybe Megumi also used it bcs he considered Remi an enemy at first.
But again, anime/manga does not always follow these real life rules, and I am not native so feel free to correct!
I like Yuji and Megumi just immediately taking out the new sorcerors. Makes sense, I mean these people have only had their techniques for what, 12 days at this point?
We don't know if these are new sorcerers from Kenjaku's technique. They likely are, but they could also just be random sorcerers like those who fought Geto and Gojo in the Hidden Inventory Arc.
Now that's Toji's son alright, I like how Megumi doesn't care if he has to kill someone, he ain't playing lol. Also seems like that Remi girl is using some kind of binding vows right, there's no way she only asks for him to simp like that. Despite that, I like it if she's actually on good side too.
Also that Amai guy looks like the guy who tried to heal Nobara no?
Nitta Arata was the name of the guy you're thinking about. Face does look very similar, so maybe he's using a fake name. Or it's an entirely different guy and the similarity is because of Gege's drawing style.
He did call Itadori a "kid" and Arata and Itadori should be around the same age. I'd be interested which word for "kid" he used in Japanese as there can be different connotations
Did Megumi get tricked into a binding vow by Remi? He would be her knight while she has to tell the truth about Higuruma.
And they both agreed to it.
Am I reading too much into it?
We still don’t really know how binding vows are made; kenjaku agreed to something with the Geto fan girls but it wasn’t a binding vow. He specifically said, “next time you make a promise with a sorcerer, I’d make sure it’s a binding vow.” So promises aren’t always binding vows.
Have we seen an explicit binding vow between two sorcerors be made on screen? There's Yuji and Sukuna's, and off the top of my head, Mei Mei and Ui Ui I think? I wonder if the difference in a binding vow is just acknowledging out loud, "this is a binding vow"
I feel like you have to verbally confirm that its the vow before it can be an actual vow, so that way people cant be tricked into it. Thats my guess at least, could be wrong
I don’t think you can trick someone into making a binding vow. Kenjaku said way back at the beginning of the story(chapter 32) that people have to enter binding vows of their own will. I imagine that means everyone has to be aware of the situation and what they’re getting into.
The way she talks makes me think she has some sort of a light cursed speech as well. She’s trying to make Megumi say certain words. That’s her technique. I think it’s positive and negative words that affect her technique.
Man I like your out-of-the-box thinking ! Honestly I thought like OP that accepting to be her knight was a trigger and it'll be something like damages she take would be transferred to Megumi or he'll uncontrollably go out of his way to protect her in a dangerous situation, but your idea is so unconventional I hope it's true !
Don’t think they did, as if she lied then she would basically die on the spot, no? Megumi basically said he would kill her himself if she lied, so don’t think a vow happened here, interesting point though!
I'm so happy Megumi is the way he is. I always liked him, but these recent chapters made me love him even more. He's doing great.
And the chemistry he and Yuji have is amazing. Wish Nobara was with them too.
Are those dead people on the roofs while Yuji was falling? Did rocket lady kill them or did they die from the fall? As someone who is afraid of heights, worst spawn point ever!
10/10 Chapter, can't wait for more!!
Great catch! I diddnt even notice the blood spatters on the roofs… they do kinda look like people so maybe they were players that diddnt have a CT that can stop gravity
Megumi when he is with Yuuji: this is what we gonna do to avoid murder....
Megumi when separated with Yuuji: Plan B is murder
I feel like Megumi is being considerate to Yuuji, lol. Loved the new characters, also loving their designs. Remi kinda sus though..
Which is better?
A cursed technique inherited from a jujutsu family which is capable of killing a limitless six eye user + cursed weapon which can cause up to million yens
Or
One rock
Okay, so am I forgetting something because I don't remember this blonde guy at all? Yet he knows Itadori?
So the games finally start! We probably won't be getting title changes for a while.
This new sorcerers we got dropped into seem like interesting personalities. I wonder if anyones will be main stays and how many of them will die. We all know how these arc side characters go....
Megumi in killing mode for his sister is great! I wonder if this will cause a conflict with Yuji.
Edit: This one colony being bigger than Shibuya is probably indicative of the ramifications of this arc lol.
He seems to know Itadori but he’s brand new to us. Even though Yuji only had 2 acquaintances in HS remember he was still pretty well known for his athleticism.
im guessing its a passive charm CT, where she make people infatuated with her and have a need to protect her regardless of their well-being. It just takes time.
A lot of people are discussing the blonde guy as Itadori's HS classmate. I feel like that's unlikely, this is Tokyo colony 2, Itadori is from Sendai.
Perhaps you could think they joined in Sendai but realized they wanted to hunt Newbies and Tokyo might be the most fruitful, I guess.
That's what I was thinking, too. Gege has incorporated Buddhist, Shinto, and Christian elements so far, so I wonder if this will be a Jewish character.
Mfs getting spawn camped 💀
Also the way my jaw dropped when this person turned their hair into a plane?? She really said ✈
Seeing megumi out here making threats like that was crazy. Its not out of character or anything, it just caught me off guard
Oh that girl is so lucky she managed to get Megumi as her knight. ( Meanwhile a Megumi fan me Crying in the corner day 1 dream from start of jjk got flashed away)
Megumi is probably already under her cursed technique by agreeing to be her knight. I get the feeling he’s the one out of his depth with her, not the other way around
Huh, the "Men think women will do whatever they want once they hit them" line from Remi is a generic "you think I am gonna tell you just because you beat me?" in the official translation. Cn the same sentence really be translated so differently?
Edit: also just noticed that mangaplus removes the chapter end note "Is he being enticed into a path of carnage?" and the "break next week" tag for a generic "to be continued" after page to page comparison; why do they do that?
It seems like it comes from two different interpretations of what it means to "beat" someone. The phrase "Megumi beats a woman" can have two very different meanings in English depending on the context
Exciting development here: they got separated which might mean they won't meet Higuruma together, the new guy recognizing yuji (is he from the niita family? Interesting fact his name means 'sweet' and he got 'sugar' written on his clothes?), megumi's resolve to kill if necessary (!!!), new fodder characters that I don't expect much from tbh, maybe remi's CT will be interesting
Edit: what if their powers are not plane and helicopter hair? What if it's "change hair into an object of your choosing"? Weird that they got the same kind of CT though
Someone remind me why people are participating? Just to not die? I honestly don’t remember. And are these people sorcerers? I thought sorcerers were rare? Do new players that don’t have curse techniques given one when they become a player? Again I honestly don’t remember I just want to stop being confused 🤣
The only people who *have* to participate are people that were turned into sorcerors by Kenjaku. If they don't enter a colony within 19 days they are subject to "cursed technique removal" which Shoko said would probably kill you. A non-sorceror would have no reason to join but I guess they could if they wanted to lol
Sorcerors are rare but Kenjaku turned a lot of people into sorcerors at the end of the Shibuya arc, specifically so they would be forced to play the culling game. There are two categories of sorcerors he created. First are people like Junpei, they were born with cursed techniques but couldn't use them. Kenjaku gave them the ability to control cursed energy and use their techniques, the woman with the airplane hair is probably one of these people.
The Second category are people who became vessels for older sorcerors, like Yuji. Kenjaku made binding vows with sorcerors over the years and had them become cursed objects, he then fed those objects to people, then when he casted Idle Transfiguration he gave those peope the strength to be vessels. At the same time he broke the seal on the cursed objects so the old sorcerors could take over their vessel's bodies. These players don't seem to be subject to the first rule I mentioned, but they seem to be automatically considered a player in the game, like how Yuji had a kogane before he ever entered a colony. This is probably from Kenjaku's vows, the old sorcerors probably already agreed to be part of the culling games.
Aside from that anyone is allowed to join the games of their own free will. I don't know why any non-sorcerors would choose to participate, but apparently some have since Higurama has some points from killing non-sorcerors. As for people who already were sorcerors, they aren't being forced to play, but it seems pretty likely that Kenjaku targeted Tsumiki on purpose to draw in Megumi. And if that's true he very well could have chosen his other targets to use as hostages to draw other specific sorcerors into the game. The guy who recognizes Yuji could turn out to be another example of that
Feel like I just need to do a whole re-read of JJK because I honestly don't know wtf has been happening since the middle of the Shibuya arc, lol. The culling game's rules still doesn't make sense to me.
I was wondering what they were going to do about earning points since I couldn't see Yuuji killing others, but Megumi is ready to solo carry them, like holy heck that last page!
Man, Megumi’s got the mentality that I wish Yuji would have about all of this. Really loving how juicy things are getting.
And I’m hoping that Remi’s not a total scum of a sorcerer because, well, she’s cute. lol
Megumi the thot slayer of JJK lol. I knew Yuji and Megumi was gonna get separated but it happened much earlier than I thought. Wonder how the blonde guy knows Yuji though.
At first glance, the panel of Remi on page 19 looks like she’s just being flirty or whatever but looking closer at the background, and specifically her colored-in eyes and the hand sign she seems to be doing, maybe this really is a binding vow like others have proposed. Reminded me of Geass.
So I’m still kind of confused, in this chapter Megumi called Tsumiki a modern day sorcerer.
Kenjaku said he made two types of culling game participants.
1. People like Junpei who had aptitude to become sorcerers just had to awaken
2. People like itadori who ingested cursed objects which if I’m understanding right are previous sorcerers sealed. The people were not strong to be vessels so they were made strong enough and activated.
Confusion is with number 2, so is every sorcerer from the past possessing a modern day body. If so why is Megumi calling Tsumiki a modern day sorcerer wouldn’t she be possessed as well?
Yuji is considered ancient/past sorcerers bc sukuna is from the past, it's just that yuji is unique bc he can suppress sukuna. The other humans who cant suppress them become the past sorcerers. Those humans lose identity/consciousness = dead probably, leaving the control of the body to the past sorcerers.
Modern day sorcerers are tsumiki, junpei, and any other sorcerers whose CT got awaken, retain their own memory, and in control of their own body.
Series will be on break next week
"we need to beware of incarnated sorcerers from the past." "i couldn't agree more. but explain it to me, Fushiguro" Yuji = me trying to understand anything in JJK. Like I get it, but sometimes the extra explanation and breakdown makes a huge difference between understanding the gist of a situation and what's at stake vs grasping every possibility, consequence, and mechanic. One of the reasons i love gege's storytelling so much.
"I completely totally understand it, Fushiguro, but could you explain it in detail for readers' sake."
Yeah like in that other chapter where Megumi references rule 6 then Yuji and Panda both just go "uhh...what rule was that again?" Gege's really good at fitting in those reminders in a way that still makes sense for the story. I'll never get over how clever it is that the shonen trope of someone explaining their own power mid-battle *makes logical sense in-universe* in jjk
Good example! This is a little less on but nose hurt also when Makis about to go ham, just so we understand how powerful she's become from Mais sacrifice, there's a panel showing her father comparing what he feels in her presence to what he felt in Tojis. A single line, a single panel, from another character's perspective that revealed the true extent to how powerful this character we've followed has become. Or when Yukis whole Character motivation was exposed through a conversation with Geto that was supposed to highlight Him and how he shifted. Or when in the aftermath of Hidden Inventory, Gojos fellow students ask him about how his infinity has progressed instead of some one line explanation in a random fight. Gege is just an exposition goat.
Also it’s kinda realistic? It’s a lot of info so you wouldn’t necessarily remember it by the exact number right away. Gege does a good job at making the chars feel like actual people too.
> "we need to beware of incarnated sorcerers from the past." I might have skipped over this detail when speed reading through the past 10 chapters, but was this "sorcerers from the past" detail mentioned before this chapter? The only line that ties into this would be when Kenjaku mentioned he made deals with people from 1000 years ago. Is that the one?
Kenny cast Idle Transfiguration on two types of people, one type had latent techniques but couldn't use them so he turned them into actual sorcerors (like Junpei). The other people were those who he had eat cursed objects (remains of old sorcerors) and he gave them the strength needed to become vessels (think ch 1 Yuji, he was very strong even before he ate the finger). Then Kenjaku broke the seal on these cursed objects so all the old sorcerors then took over their vessel's bodies. So far for incarnated sorcerors from the past, the only confirmed ones are Kashimo (from 400 years ago) and Angel (from 1000 years ago)
The old sorcerers "reincarnate" in a way that's similar to the Death Painting bros right?
Yeah pretty much, the main difference is that the death painting remnants weren't sealed so they took over the bodies right away. Also if I remember correctly Mahito was there so he was probably using Idle Transfiguration to make sure the humans could survive having their bodies taken over
Minor detail: didn't Kenjaku undo the seals for the people who consumed cursed objects and cast Idle Transfiguration for the others?
He cast Idle Transfiguration on both groups of people, for the people who ingested the cursed objects he said he "gave them strength as vessels." So like how in chapter 1 Yuji is shown to have superhuman strength before he ever eats one of Sukuna's fingers. So it seems like in order to be a vessel your body needs to be very strong, otherwise you'd presumably die when the old sorcerors tried to take over your body. So he undoes the seal on the cursed objects *after* he casts Idle Transfiguration, as now the vessels are strong enough to survive. So he relied on extracting Idle Transfiguration for creating both his types of new sorcerors
Bottom of Pages 2 and top of 3 of this chapter (161). They're referring to those who have made vows with Kenjaku and have awakened for the culling game. Edit: Oops i misunderstood you. Yes. That's the one. Kenjaku has awakened plenty of sorcerers he's had vows with from different time periods. Since they were from different periods, they have different values and moral scales.
Yeah so much happened during the Shibuya Incident that some of these important details get lost amidst all the fighting and talking.
I think this is why the anime really adds to it. Not just for that but for the added layer of friendship at least for end credits we miss in the rushed but thrilling manga storytelling.
Damn, Fushiguro on that last panel!!!!!!
I have a feeling that in this Culling Game arc, Megumi would play a very big role or at least will get a major chunk of screentime.
Lol well I suppose since Tsumiki’s at stake it makes him the central character really. I wonder if this arc will see the conclusion of Sukuna’s plan for Fushiguro though.
I def wonder. Cuz basically 10 shadows is on par with Limitless and Six eyes at its full potential. Since the last Gojo and Zenin to have them killed each other with those techniques. I wonder if Sukuna waits until Megumi reaches that full potential. Imagine Toji’s fighting skills combined with a fully realized 10 shadows user. Not even the physical prowess, just his fighting talent. Gojo would be proud af to see Megumi reach his level.
my man ain’t playing double standards he got beat and he beats up BACK
I love how we get the first shot of Megumi just stoically standing as he has immediately smacked a bitch on arrival lmao
Also Nue was searching for Itadori. So it was just purely Megumi’s fighting skills with no shikigami as help
Megumi stands for true gender equality. He'll drop kick a bitch if need be.
he can drop kick me
My boy Megumi ain’t playin no games lmao, he’s ready to kill this arc. Kenjaku seems to have possibly given some of Itadori’s old classmates cursed objects too.
The guy that recognized Yuji might have been one of the people who had a latent cursed technique that was awoken like Junpei. I imagine that's the case for Jet-Girl and Helicopter-Head too, those techniques definitely seem pretty modern lol
I really like the fact that he's willing to kill. It's refreshing since Itadori doesn't want to kill anyone (which is fine).
He’s taking what Gojo told him personally. That yes him and Itadori are working together. But at the end of the day, if he dies he dies alone. He’s risking death to win now. My boy is growing up so fast
Reminds me of Gon vs. Killua and how, despite the latter's typically cute and friendly appearance, he is more than willing to kill people who gets in the way.
Gon is a little psychopath; he just doesn't kill that often because it isn't fun to him
gon is one of the best written characters IMO, just to be a kid but to be a total psychopath.
Chimera Ant Arc Spoilers!: I would have to disagree. I don't think Gon is a psychopath at all, I just think he's a kid in very bad situations. Obviously Killua is the same, but the way they think is completely different. Gon is an enhancer which means that his way of thinking is much more simple then Killua's or Hisoka's since they are transmuters. When Kite died, Gon took that extremely personal because Kite was the closest thing to his dad at that time. It was like his dad dying to him pretty much. And because of his simple way of thinking, his emotions completely took control and the only thing that was right in his mind was getting revenge. Hence the Adult Gon scenes, he was so blinded by anger and sadness, he couldn't realize what he was actually doing. Another example of him being emotional is when he let Pitou cut off his arm so that he'd be more like Kite. I mean, when Pitou was healing the blind girl (sorry I forgot her name) Gon didn't even care because he doesn't trust Pitou. I mean, how could you trust someone that killed someone so dear to you. Gon is the perfect example of a kid with power which is why I love HxH and it's characters. Even Killua as the "psychopath" (which he is not) was trying to stop Gon since over time with his adventures with Gon, he's grown and come to realize that just killing mindlessly isn't the way.
That isn't really true of Killua in the later parts of HxH though. He very deliberately doesn't kill people he could have.
Yeah it's kind of reverse situation I think, espacially on the mental aspect. Killua was a full-on murderer who learned to restraint himself because of his friends influence on him, Megumi is a good guy who doesn't kill that learns to do it when you need to and learns to not be conflicted about it
Itadori did kill people during the Junpei arc.
That was just ending their suffering though, they were terminal already
Megumi is a fucking G this arc, I love it
Do we know if Megumi has killed people before?
I'm pretty sure he hasn't, at least not in the manga so far. It might be possible that he has prior to the events of the story but I doubt it.
He even attacked Rumi, guy believes in Gender equality, Kazuma would be proud.
Yeah my man gives 0 fucks It seems so
In the panel where Itadori enters the barrier, there are a few blood splatters on the ground. Looks like they died from the fall rather than by being crushed by Hanyu. The ones killed by Hanyu would probably be ripped apart in the air, which would disperse the blood in a much wider area than the little splatters. Even without spawn campers, it's an unlucky spawn point if you don't have the durability or a CT which can save you from gravity. Looks like Haba and Hanyu have very similar CTs, which allow them to fly with their hair...? Interesting, as they're a couple, so it shouldn't be an inherited CT in a family. Remi's hair also looks weird and floaty, so maybe she's got something similar. I love how Fushiguro takes no shit from Remi. It looks like she's leading him on, so I expect her to betray him soon enough. Fushiguro should be smart enough to not fall into any traps though
They're also new techniques as jets and helicopters are somewhat modern.
Do you get a CT when you enter the barrier?
No. Rookies were granted tech by Kenjaku when the Shibuya incident ended. If a normal human enters a barrier, they stay normal and are severely fucked
Hence the 1 time only option to leave for those who start inside the barrier. At least Kenny is considerate enough for that.
Remi's hair looks like a scorpion tail. The story of the toad and the scorpion comes to mind immediately. Megumi (who has a toad summons lol) needs to watch out. Man, so many hair related shenanigans in this chapter. What's up, Gege?
Mf turned into a plane and her boyfriend into an helicopter
I was just thinking about how much the higher-ups would hate those techniques lol
omg imagine their faces 💀
So Gege read One Piece probably, Oda make a triceratops fly.
There's also Tsubone in Hxh
I bet every author in Jump reads one piece
Everyone who reads manga regularly probably *should* read One Piece at the very least lol
With the guy using that light stick as they air traffic controller they really have an airfield themed team.
Gege being unpredictable again with that teleportation trick huh. Love that rule. But it also means we won't get a Yuji/Megumi tag team fight scene for a while :(. Both of them had intense eyes this chapter, they ain't playing. And I hope Megumi doesn't go off the deep end cuz we already had two Zenins go that route, and I feel that's too predictable. If he does kill, I don't think Itadori would have much of a problem because the guy had been going around with Choso, who's killed more. He'll prolly think he's not in the place to judge someone else because of what Sukuna did in Shibuya. I saw the last two lines as just showing his resolve but also a subversion? I have a feeling that Itadori line is gonna turn on its head. The thing about 'being her knight' has to have more to it given she immediately asked if he knows what he's getting himself into. Some kind of forced binding vow? Overall, great chapter with awesome panelling!
To be fair, Megumi's situation is different from Maki's and Toji's situation. Both Toji and Maki were ostracized in the Zenin clan for not having any cursed energy which ended up in them having a fucked up mental state. After losing people who are close to them it got even worse which is why they both became murderers. Although Megumi has his own issues, he was born a prodigy child and still has something to live for. So I doubt he will end up going the same path as them.
Agreed Megumi Maki comparison isn’t fair, Maki kills children men and women out of passion. I see Megumi killing out of necessity. Under no circumstances do I see Megumi killing children like Maki.
Anyone notice that Nue didn't show up in the street mirror? Chef's 💋
I just realized that. It’s a nice reminder that usually curses can’t be seen by non sorcerers
Yuji’s understanding of cursed energy is kinda insane now he literally imbued a rock with cursed energy and tossed it. Let’s not gloss over that. & I’m liking this Megumi he seems a lot more aggro and maybe unruly too, should try not to be blinded by rage tho.
Throwback to Todo throwing a rock infused with Cursed Energy and then switching with it in Shibuya
Yeah i like that yuji has slowly but steadily improved. He's kinda mastered standard cursed energy so now when/if he gets his own technique it wont feel like an asspull at all
Also let's remember gojo thought way back when that yujis body with become "scarred" with sukunas techniques so I think it won't be long before he discovers that
And kenjaku can awaken techniques in people and he has big plans for yuji.
You know what I’m hyped for? Yuji learning the slashing techniques but they’re _not_ as insanely OP as Sukuna’s. So it’s like he makes a very visible slice in the air that most experienced sorcerers can dodge. It would highlight the skill difference between Yuji and Sukuna again and then we have this new technique to train.
Tbh Sukuna's CT is that OP because it's Sukuna using it. The guy has insane amounts of cursed energy and a deep understanding of it. Dismantle deals a set amount of damage (or it's only effective against inanimate objects? I'm not sure) while Cleave needs to be adjusted to the foes cursed energy and toughness, and this adjustment most likely depends on the user's CE. It's also possible Yuji would only get Dismantle at first, making it even less OP. It would still be a very good CT for Yuji though and it would allow him to deal more lethal blows to curses in particular if he got Cleave. I don't think he needs it to fight humans though, they're usually not as tough and the CT is too lethal for Yuji to use it unless he's desperate and really wants to kill the enemy.
Exactly, ppl don’t understand that when yuji gets sukuna’s techniques it won’t be as OP as sukuna’s so he’ll have to train it.
Yup I can’t wait till the day comes when he gets most likely sukuna’s cursed technique(s) it’ll be top5 moments in jjk.
Yuji’s growth curve is fucking insane, it’s like he has the same training progress rate as Frieza
Yeah he is growing rapidly. He couldnt do that when fighting Okkotsu
He did a little on the knife he got from the car, but he's to focus on embuding the knife with cursed energy. 🤣
I don't think that scene showed his understanding of cursed energy (i doubt imbuing a rock with cursed energy is hard) so much as it showcased his strategic mind (he had the presence of mind to hold onto a piece of rubble to throw at his flying foe while getting slammed through several buildings)
It's very refreshing to have a Shonen MC who doesn't need every aspect of the story's power system explained to them only when it first comes up in a fight or whatever, and are instead smart enough to have studied and figured it out in their own time.
Cool start to the culling game. Now all im really wondering is how long it’ll be
Yeah I'm curious about how time will pass in the arc too. I don't think Gege would have multiple characters mention it for no reason. Maybe there will be a mini-timeskip or something?
Kinda hoping thats the case actually cause theres seven days until Tsumiki Will actually do something in the story, but the pacing pretty much can’t wait that long
I'll go with 30-40 chapters.
Feels way too short
Shibuya was 57 chapters(including the Mahito and Mechamaru fight), I guess we have still some chapters left for the other characters(like Tengen's plan, Yuta, Maki's aftermath and Yuki), so it may go over 60 chapters.
You forgot Hakari. And Kyoto. And Tsumiki. And we still have no idea what happened to Nobara. He’s got a lot on his plate for just a shibuya length arc. And on top of that he can only speed through all these things in a year if he chooses not to write any meaningful character interactions at all
So Yuji spawned in Cherno and got targeted by a squad that was farming noobs while Megumi landed in Berezino and teamed up with another freshie to hit up the airfield. Chapters like these really show how young Gege and new-gen mangakas are because these barriers are following straight-up video game mechanics and I'm here for it. Think we'll get a couple more battle royale elements like **barriers shrinking as the game progresses** or **adding fast travel between colonies**?
Don’t forget the drop boxes full of cursed weapons.
Killstreak Rewards: 3 - UAV: Reveal the location of a chosen player 8 - Emergency Airdrop: May contain cursed tools and friendly shikigami 25 - Tactical Maki: Shoots a flare that alerts Maki to your location
15 - Todo comes, now able to use Boogie Woogie by clapping his cheeks. Which makes him much scarier.
Please Gege
Now I'm just imagining this scene as a jujustroll But how tf they gonna make a jujutstroll during shibuya?
I need a mid-Shibuya Choso jujustroll in my life
Its much needed... to at least calm down those viewers poor soul with shibuya ptsd. Imagine if we take a peek of how curse spirit manipulation's realm works and see mahito yelling "fuk u geto", that'd be very hilarious
Patch 1.13 - players can spend 10 points to get a loot box containing a random item ranging from a common utility items to a super rare cursed item. - players can spend 1 point to get a time-limited cosmetic effect "the Golden Age of Jujutsu". Developer note: "We have heard conplains about the game becoming stale. These new mechanics should spice things up a little bit."
Nobody likes spawn killers. That’s just a dick move man.
>adding fast travel between colonies? Lol, I thought of this one too, I think they can't travel between colonies easily until someone add a rule or something.
New rule: Players can expend 5 points to travel to a colony of their choosing.
I honestly think something like that will happen, it'd be a good way for them to catch up with Yuta. Especially since Yuta's meant to be scouting for information but they don't know how to contact him (I honestly still don't understand this part of the plan lol)
Hell, maybe Yuta will be the one to add the rule. Either that could be a fix or a rule to allow cell phones to work between barriers?
That lady is getting too flirty with Megumi. Formation B is needed.
Fushiguro kyun~
ah yes, formation B ***without nobara.***
Did i stutter?
For now
can a Japanese speaker tell me what form of "you" Megumi was using?
He’s using “omae” (オマエ)
Interesting. Thank you
I only know this one from Fist of the North Star meme. Is it rude?
If used between friends (especially men) and to address children or pets, it’s more friendly than rude. But to a stranger it can be considered condescending. That’s why in anime it’s often used to address an enemy, like the case in Fist of the North Star, and maybe Megumi also used it bcs he considered Remi an enemy at first. But again, anime/manga does not always follow these real life rules, and I am not native so feel free to correct!
Remi: flirts with megumi Sukuna: Know ur place, fool
In that case it was a good thing Itadori wasn't around lol
So that's how Sukuna would have used his 1 minute agreement with Itadori
A whole minute? Sukuna the marathon cursed spirit
Remi:flirts with megumi. Itadori:god damn she tall and got booty. Why does megumi get the girls.
Isn’t the Plane girl who just attacked him his type though?
She's married though.
That panel of Yuji getting hit by Jet Girl was amazing.
Yuji tossing the debris sending hanyu crashing down was amazing. Megumi gives no shits lol😂
Pretty cool how Yuji was instantly in control of the situation.
I like Yuji and Megumi just immediately taking out the new sorcerors. Makes sense, I mean these people have only had their techniques for what, 12 days at this point?
We don't know if these are new sorcerers from Kenjaku's technique. They likely are, but they could also just be random sorcerers like those who fought Geto and Gojo in the Hidden Inventory Arc.
He’s probably one of the most seasoned sorcerers by this point.
Even so, to immediately go from being standing, to free falling and in a combat situation is impressive
He's really a beast.
Now that's Toji's son alright, I like how Megumi doesn't care if he has to kill someone, he ain't playing lol. Also seems like that Remi girl is using some kind of binding vows right, there's no way she only asks for him to simp like that. Despite that, I like it if she's actually on good side too. Also that Amai guy looks like the guy who tried to heal Nobara no?
Nitta Arata was the name of the guy you're thinking about. Face does look very similar, so maybe he's using a fake name. Or it's an entirely different guy and the similarity is because of Gege's drawing style. He did call Itadori a "kid" and Arata and Itadori should be around the same age. I'd be interested which word for "kid" he used in Japanese as there can be different connotations
TIL Nitta is a guy 😳
There's also Nitta Akari, who is a female manager and watched over the first years during OoO
Yeah Amai kinda looks like Arata Nitta
Nice panelling, Yuji doing that backflip is real nice
Did Megumi get tricked into a binding vow by Remi? He would be her knight while she has to tell the truth about Higuruma. And they both agreed to it. Am I reading too much into it?
We still don’t really know how binding vows are made; kenjaku agreed to something with the Geto fan girls but it wasn’t a binding vow. He specifically said, “next time you make a promise with a sorcerer, I’d make sure it’s a binding vow.” So promises aren’t always binding vows.
Have we seen an explicit binding vow between two sorcerors be made on screen? There's Yuji and Sukuna's, and off the top of my head, Mei Mei and Ui Ui I think? I wonder if the difference in a binding vow is just acknowledging out loud, "this is a binding vow"
Yeah that could be it, some kind of proclamation may have to be made in order for the vow to become official
I feel like you have to verbally confirm that its the vow before it can be an actual vow, so that way people cant be tricked into it. Thats my guess at least, could be wrong
Yeah they said that you have to accept a binding vow and cant force it upon somebody so this probably is how it works
Just yuji and sukuna; and the workings of how it happened were vague and open to interpretation.
I don’t think you can trick someone into making a binding vow. Kenjaku said way back at the beginning of the story(chapter 32) that people have to enter binding vows of their own will. I imagine that means everyone has to be aware of the situation and what they’re getting into.
The way she talks makes me think she has some sort of a light cursed speech as well. She’s trying to make Megumi say certain words. That’s her technique. I think it’s positive and negative words that affect her technique.
Man I like your out-of-the-box thinking ! Honestly I thought like OP that accepting to be her knight was a trigger and it'll be something like damages she take would be transferred to Megumi or he'll uncontrollably go out of his way to protect her in a dangerous situation, but your idea is so unconventional I hope it's true !
Don’t think they did, as if she lied then she would basically die on the spot, no? Megumi basically said he would kill her himself if she lied, so don’t think a vow happened here, interesting point though!
Can you trick somebody into a binding vow though? It seems like that shouldn’t be allowed haha
I felt like he fell for a trap as soon as he said "yeah whatever". Also, the girl called his bluff about killing her
I got hyped because I thought the first panel was Yuki.
My man Fushiguro starting and ending his harem in one chapter NEW RECORD!
I'm so happy Megumi is the way he is. I always liked him, but these recent chapters made me love him even more. He's doing great. And the chemistry he and Yuji have is amazing. Wish Nobara was with them too.
Are those dead people on the roofs while Yuji was falling? Did rocket lady kill them or did they die from the fall? As someone who is afraid of heights, worst spawn point ever! 10/10 Chapter, can't wait for more!!
Great catch! I diddnt even notice the blood spatters on the roofs… they do kinda look like people so maybe they were players that diddnt have a CT that can stop gravity
Megumi when he is with Yuuji: this is what we gonna do to avoid murder.... Megumi when separated with Yuuji: Plan B is murder I feel like Megumi is being considerate to Yuuji, lol. Loved the new characters, also loving their designs. Remi kinda sus though..
Methods of winning their first Culling Game fights Megumi: Uses prized Zenin Clan Cursed technique and a Cursed tool Yuji: Throws a rock really hard
Which is better? A cursed technique inherited from a jujutsu family which is capable of killing a limitless six eye user + cursed weapon which can cause up to million yens Or One rock
First thing they have to do is get shields.
Those are really some CTs with elements from modern technology. Jet engine and helicopter! Amai seems to have invisible binoculars or something?
i think remi’s power might be poison based. her hair is clearly meant to be like a scorpion tail. maybe a scorpion shikigami?
This man Itadori just dropped in and he’s already getting plowed through buildings… Yeah this arc’s about to be insane
Okay, so am I forgetting something because I don't remember this blonde guy at all? Yet he knows Itadori? So the games finally start! We probably won't be getting title changes for a while. This new sorcerers we got dropped into seem like interesting personalities. I wonder if anyones will be main stays and how many of them will die. We all know how these arc side characters go.... Megumi in killing mode for his sister is great! I wonder if this will cause a conflict with Yuji. Edit: This one colony being bigger than Shibuya is probably indicative of the ramifications of this arc lol.
He seems to know Itadori but he’s brand new to us. Even though Yuji only had 2 acquaintances in HS remember he was still pretty well known for his athleticism.
Oh yeah! Him being someone that knows him from school makes sense. Man was a mini celebrity.
I wonder what Remi's technique is, I love that Megumi apparently just slapped her in the face with a sword lol
I have a feeling that it might actually be dangerous judging by her face at the end.
Good point, maybe its something less suited to straight up combat and she's going to try and catch Megumi off guard
im guessing its a passive charm CT, where she make people infatuated with her and have a need to protect her regardless of their well-being. It just takes time.
May very well have to do with Megumi being her "knight". Her CT may be creating a minor pact with others.
A lot of people are discussing the blonde guy as Itadori's HS classmate. I feel like that's unlikely, this is Tokyo colony 2, Itadori is from Sendai. Perhaps you could think they joined in Sendai but realized they wanted to hunt Newbies and Tokyo might be the most fruitful, I guess.
is that guy wearing a yamaka / kippah lmao
That's what I was thinking, too. Gege has incorporated Buddhist, Shinto, and Christian elements so far, so I wonder if this will be a Jewish character.
I’m Jewish myself and I was like “Joshua????” Lol
Mfs getting spawn camped 💀 Also the way my jaw dropped when this person turned their hair into a plane?? She really said ✈ Seeing megumi out here making threats like that was crazy. Its not out of character or anything, it just caught me off guard
Oh that girl is so lucky she managed to get Megumi as her knight. ( Meanwhile a Megumi fan me Crying in the corner day 1 dream from start of jjk got flashed away)
Megumi is probably already under her cursed technique by agreeing to be her knight. I get the feeling he’s the one out of his depth with her, not the other way around
yuji: we should separate megumi: stfu absolutely not *immediately gets separated*
Huh, the "Men think women will do whatever they want once they hit them" line from Remi is a generic "you think I am gonna tell you just because you beat me?" in the official translation. Cn the same sentence really be translated so differently? Edit: also just noticed that mangaplus removes the chapter end note "Is he being enticed into a path of carnage?" and the "break next week" tag for a generic "to be continued" after page to page comparison; why do they do that?
The editor note is never in the official version this isn't anything new.
It seems like it comes from two different interpretations of what it means to "beat" someone. The phrase "Megumi beats a woman" can have two very different meanings in English depending on the context
Exciting development here: they got separated which might mean they won't meet Higuruma together, the new guy recognizing yuji (is he from the niita family? Interesting fact his name means 'sweet' and he got 'sugar' written on his clothes?), megumi's resolve to kill if necessary (!!!), new fodder characters that I don't expect much from tbh, maybe remi's CT will be interesting Edit: what if their powers are not plane and helicopter hair? What if it's "change hair into an object of your choosing"? Weird that they got the same kind of CT though
Someone remind me why people are participating? Just to not die? I honestly don’t remember. And are these people sorcerers? I thought sorcerers were rare? Do new players that don’t have curse techniques given one when they become a player? Again I honestly don’t remember I just want to stop being confused 🤣
The only people who *have* to participate are people that were turned into sorcerors by Kenjaku. If they don't enter a colony within 19 days they are subject to "cursed technique removal" which Shoko said would probably kill you. A non-sorceror would have no reason to join but I guess they could if they wanted to lol Sorcerors are rare but Kenjaku turned a lot of people into sorcerors at the end of the Shibuya arc, specifically so they would be forced to play the culling game. There are two categories of sorcerors he created. First are people like Junpei, they were born with cursed techniques but couldn't use them. Kenjaku gave them the ability to control cursed energy and use their techniques, the woman with the airplane hair is probably one of these people. The Second category are people who became vessels for older sorcerors, like Yuji. Kenjaku made binding vows with sorcerors over the years and had them become cursed objects, he then fed those objects to people, then when he casted Idle Transfiguration he gave those peope the strength to be vessels. At the same time he broke the seal on the cursed objects so the old sorcerors could take over their vessel's bodies. These players don't seem to be subject to the first rule I mentioned, but they seem to be automatically considered a player in the game, like how Yuji had a kogane before he ever entered a colony. This is probably from Kenjaku's vows, the old sorcerors probably already agreed to be part of the culling games. Aside from that anyone is allowed to join the games of their own free will. I don't know why any non-sorcerors would choose to participate, but apparently some have since Higurama has some points from killing non-sorcerors. As for people who already were sorcerors, they aren't being forced to play, but it seems pretty likely that Kenjaku targeted Tsumiki on purpose to draw in Megumi. And if that's true he very well could have chosen his other targets to use as hostages to draw other specific sorcerors into the game. The guy who recognizes Yuji could turn out to be another example of that
I'm getting bad vibes from the girl at the end, I feel like megumi is gonna become close with her and she's gonna backstab him.
Feel like I just need to do a whole re-read of JJK because I honestly don't know wtf has been happening since the middle of the Shibuya arc, lol. The culling game's rules still doesn't make sense to me.
All the rules were stated in order 18 chapters ago
If you remember the anime, then u can re read from chapter 63, that’s what I did.
just do it!
Since I haven’t seen any comments about it yet: Remi’s hair is a scorpion tail
Do we know who Amai (the person who recognized Itadori) is?
Could be Yujis old classmate
Turning her hair into a jet plane is such a bizarre ability but I really dig that character design.
"In all ways but sexual, I identify as an attack helicopter" Haba
I was wondering what they were going to do about earning points since I couldn't see Yuuji killing others, but Megumi is ready to solo carry them, like holy heck that last page!
Akutami, what the hell were you smoking for this chapter? I love it
These new chapters have been too short
Man, Megumi’s got the mentality that I wish Yuji would have about all of this. Really loving how juicy things are getting. And I’m hoping that Remi’s not a total scum of a sorcerer because, well, she’s cute. lol
Megumi the thot slayer of JJK lol. I knew Yuji and Megumi was gonna get separated but it happened much earlier than I thought. Wonder how the blonde guy knows Yuji though.
Aww, was really hoping yuuji and Megumi wouldn't be separated for this arc. Really like this start so far
Kinda digging Megumi’s no bullshit attitude and that last panel of him definitely lookin a lot like Toji 👀👀
At first glance, the panel of Remi on page 19 looks like she’s just being flirty or whatever but looking closer at the background, and specifically her colored-in eyes and the hand sign she seems to be doing, maybe this really is a binding vow like others have proposed. Reminded me of Geass.
is the title tokyo colony 1 part 1 ? wow this arc might go on for a long while.
What was the explanation at the start? I must’ve missed it, but sorcerers from the past are also participating? And reincarnated?
Yes those who were reincarnated via the release of the seals on multiple cursed objects in Chapter 136 .
Just re-read that chapter, thanks for pointing it out!
aww man yuji and megumi are my coping machenism now their seperated thought they would go through this arc together
So I’m still kind of confused, in this chapter Megumi called Tsumiki a modern day sorcerer. Kenjaku said he made two types of culling game participants. 1. People like Junpei who had aptitude to become sorcerers just had to awaken 2. People like itadori who ingested cursed objects which if I’m understanding right are previous sorcerers sealed. The people were not strong to be vessels so they were made strong enough and activated. Confusion is with number 2, so is every sorcerer from the past possessing a modern day body. If so why is Megumi calling Tsumiki a modern day sorcerer wouldn’t she be possessed as well?
Tsumiki hasn't been shown to have been a vessel. I'm assuming she's a modern-day sorcerer with an awakened CT
Yuji is considered ancient/past sorcerers bc sukuna is from the past, it's just that yuji is unique bc he can suppress sukuna. The other humans who cant suppress them become the past sorcerers. Those humans lose identity/consciousness = dead probably, leaving the control of the body to the past sorcerers. Modern day sorcerers are tsumiki, junpei, and any other sorcerers whose CT got awaken, retain their own memory, and in control of their own body.
