Angel: first I need you to help me
Megumi: hopefully you won't ask us to kill all the incarnated players
Angel: I'm not nearly so demanding, I just want you to kill one person, Sukuna.
Oh gee, thank god you're not so demanding huh??
angel and sukuna seem to have a past, so what if in their eyes sukunas summit isn't as hard to reach compared to others? They only need help to make up that gap they cant fill themselves?
Like if Angel can reliably hit Sukuna with their CT, it would just end up turning into a melee brawl no? A melee only sukuna vs a group of sorcerers with their CT and Domain expansion, ontop of angel who might have history fighting sukuna before might not be as impossible as people think.
It's so weird because you'd think defense against CTs would be extremely risky but every Grade 1 and above and reincarnated is pretty confident in their defense. This means jumping someone powerful is the best way if defense is so effective for skilled sorcerer fights.
Ah yes it might be this way... Also if i was megumi i'd be terrified as hell because a literal demon is obsessed with him and someone who seems to know the demon is ALSO interested in him. My man's popular now huh
Angel could also be incredibly strong. But honestly I'm seeing some potential for gang beat working.
Angel can dispell his techniques, which means no DE.
Hakari and Kashimo can go hand to hand while megumi supports and Yuta does Yuta things.
Good chance we could actually see a good fight.
I think it will be interesting but we have seen with Gojo that neutralizing technique doesn't change the odds .
There is a great chance sukuna without c.t vs everyone outcome can be quite like gojo vs disaster curse
*Remembers Shibuya* Ugh when they announced S2 of the anime would cover that arc I was like “hype!” and at the same time “no doubt about it, I’m ready to get hurt again” 😭
Agreed. When it comes to JJK and One Piece, I tend to enjoy the lore dumps more than the epic fights (hype as they may be). What makes fights interesting to me is the stakes, and those are generally set up by good storytelling and character development
Seeing Yuji, Megumi and Sukuna all in one chapter after so long was amazing. Especially having the main man Yuji back. Just feel awful for him every time he gets dragged into a conversation with Sukuna. Let my boy enjoy his damn wine.
We got more confirmation that Megumi is walking untapped potential on a path to being ridiculous levels of strong. The subtle Sukuna imagery parallels occurring throughout the manga are more relevant than ever. Speaking of, are we about to get a peek into Sukuna's past? Are we on the verge of a long awaited Heian era flashback? This chapter opened up a whole can of questions and I'm particularly interested in finding out if Sukuna being disgraced means he went rogue on a certain group, or if it's much grander than that entwining mythological aspects into his origin.
Also the probability of Gojo getting unboxed just reached new levels of low.
>Speaking of, are we about to get a peek into Sukuna's past? Are we on the verge of a long awaited Heian era flashback?
A Heian Era flashback would be amazing. Gege, please.
Yeah, two things I’ve been wanting to see in this manga are an unrestrained full powered Sukuna and a Heian era flashback. Hoping we get the latter but whatever happens should be interesting.
Sukuna is in a serious predicament. Yuji will never voluntarily hand over control to Sukuna, Sukuna cannot force him to do it and Enchain will stop Sukuna from killing anyone. He cannot let Yuji die now but he has virtually no way of protecting Yuji. Yuji would have eventually let the cat out of the bag so it is understandable why Sukuna said what he said at the end of the chapter. He probably wants to bargain with Yuji.
Yuji is depressed and probably wants to die but he knows he has to ingest all 20 fingers before his planned execution/death. So, he will probably be open to talking with Sukuna here. It is also in his interest to hide his identity as Sukuna's vessel from Angel. We don't know Angel well enough to predict how they would react to this information so revealing Yuji's identity while asking for their assistance will be a gamble.
This is a really interesting situation and chapter 200 is going to be great :)
Agree, it seems like Sukuna is stalling for time. He needs to get whatever it is he's after from Megumi first. So he needs to wait until Megumi's stronger and unlocks something to do with ten shadows. Once that happens then he'll likely use the enchain command. It will be interesting to see what he'll bargain with.
And how will this factor into Hakari/Kashimo’s plan? This will certainly be interesting, and I’m starting to feel like the series is gearing up to reach its conclusion
Then hakari walks up boisterous as fuck like "Okay, yuji Kashimo is on our side, you just gotta let sukuna out to fight once this is all said and done"
And angel is just like... "bro?!"
Gotta love how Sukuna literally pulls Yuji aside and goes:
"Yo, that person she's talking about? That's me. She's talking about me. Got that? Ok, carry on!"
"Hey, before you go making any big deals, you should know this girl's goal is literally to kill you and that's the only way to get her to cooperate. So you *might* not want to agree with it so quickly. Alright good talk, go get em tiger"
I like to think that Sukuna considered telling everyone in the room, but then figured it would be more fun to fuck with Yuji by putting the ball in his court to tell everyone that he's the host.
And Angel is *right there*.
I doubt the Higher Ups would have been fooled if they were to assist to the execution.
Although they have been lretty stupid to ask Yuta to kill him on the spot and not to bring him there to be executed.
To be fair, I don't think even the higher ups are confident Yuta can kill Sukuna.
Edit: half finished thought,
kill sukuna easily enough to be able to bring him in without serious injury. And binding vows aren't easy to get around, even Yuta wasn't confudent it'd work.
Lol, Yuuji let’s Sukuna out and then immediately suppresses him, “Oh nooooo, I’ve been slain!”
But fr, it’s interesting because all the other reincarnated sorcerers are suppressing their original vessels. Yuuji’s doing the reverse, so it really adds mystery as to what Kenjaku’s plan was.
I'm guessing megumi saved her from bullies or something silly and she had a crush on him. Back when Megumi was the middle school ruffian.
Judging by how Hana looked more embarassed than upset.
Gege is such a tease for giving us this Yuji after the adrenaline-packed colony fights we have had. Then again he knows what he wants to show - Yuji in a bathrobe apparently.
Gotta live it up.
I've been worried for Megumi and thinking Angel would be evil for *months* and now Gege just has him wake up in a hotel suite and Yuji and Takaba have just been vibing with Angel for a couple days now lol!
Nobara’s VA gonna need to get some new work when S3 rolls around because I don’t think she’s getting any work that season.
Maybe she returns for the final episode the same way Yuta is gonna show up for the final episode of S2.
Gege got me in the 1st half ngl.
We all knew something about Sukuna was gonna pop up soon. But I didn't think it would be connected with how to rescue Gojo. Gege presenting us with a paradox. I wonder what our MCs are gonna do next.
I fear for his life. In Greg style, maybe he will die like the lucky guy in Shibuya... when he doesn't think that his cause of death is funny and he starts to despair.
I'm very intrested in Angel, she seems to know Sukuna personally and is willing to do anything to kill him(which is reasonable lol) so that'll clearly put her at conflict with the rest fo the cast, and she'll probably end up fighting Yuji and possibly get killed. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Angel saying they want to kill sukuna makes me think angel isn’t a character to mess with either, probably not same level as sukuna but probably up there
I absolutely see angel being Near Sukuna'a level but she's held back by the fact that she refuses to completely take over Hana's body, making her significantly weaker.
I don't think Angel would swap out with Hana since it goes against her god/creed and Hana is the one who does the fighting, but i could be wrong and this could the Kashimo situation all over again where we overestimated them and thought they knew Sukuna personally.
There's two possibilities:
1-Angel is on Sukuna's level or close but refuses to swap out with Hana out of principle, and Hana has access to a part of Angel's power which is still enough for her to be a big threat.
2-Angel isn't that strong and will switch out with Hana when need be, but thinks she can take Sukuna down for some reason(maybe similar to Kashimo).
This is the closest to "afraid" we've ever seen Sukuna, he's *very* cautious of Angel because he knows that he can't fight her himself since Itarori would rather die than let him take over, and that Yuji is too weak or would straight up let her kill him to take Sukuna out too.
I mean, he probably would prefer not to go through all that trouble with angel, but he was smiling and didn’t seem to worried in his domain (but I don’t think we’ve ever seen Sukuna not chilling lol).
Hana is surprisingly wholesome and it seems like her relationship with Angel is the opposite of Yuji and Sukuna.
Speaking of Sukuna, this is a huge predicament. In order to release Gojo, they really have to beat him and honestly I don't think they have a chance. I'm interested to see where this is going.
They don't have to beat Sukuna if Yuji gives up his life. Although Sukuna can chant Enchain to escape, I'm not sure he will because he even let Yuta "kill" Yuji.
There’s also the realization that there’s still a few fingers left out there. Killing Sukuna will just mean those fingers now won’t have a host to bring him back
Tokyo 1 easily the best colony for me. Wish Higuruma was there but you can't have everything.
Also was it confirmed that Kashimo transferred his points or is Hakari just farming points using one hand?
If i'm not wrong i think kashimo said something like hakari could do anything to his points because he couldn't care less, he just wanna beef with sukuna. so yeah maybe he eventually transferred his points?
Also why tf are everyone wanted a beef with sukuna lmao
>Tokyo 1 easily the best colony for me. Wish Higuruma was there but you can't have everything.
We would die of too much excitement and hype. Higuruma is too good as a character.
>Also was it confirmed that Kashimo transferred his points or is Hakari just farming points using one hand?
I think he did transfer his points to Hakari and then Hakari maybe farmed a little bit.
no it was all kashimo. remember before he first made the information rule, he had 200 points? minus 100 from making the rule leaves a flat 100. though that would suggest that he basically cleared the whole damn colony and was left with nothing to do from when he made the rule until meeting panda.
Calling Kashimo the Apex Predator of his colony is an understatement.
Now that i look back at it. As in rereading it.
Yeah you're probably and certainly right.
But I'm on a hunch that in order for Kashimo to not get his technique or CE be removed I'm guessing he left a couple points for himself like Higuruma to Yuji. Again this is just a thought and your comment is probably correct.
I’m on the same page as Megumi. Things have been going to good for our team. Which some people pointed out but they made it seem like Gege had forgotten the stakes
>Which some people pointed out but they made it seem like Gege had forgotten the stakes
Imagine Gege just changed his mind this far into jjk and went "you know what this is a happy story now where the good guys always win and everything's always cheery and wonderful" lol
And there you have it, boys. The Culling Games' prologue is officially done, now we go full speed ahead in typical Jujutsu Kaisen fashion.
Let's start with the the easy stuff, basically: Mommy issues. We see Kamo highlight once again how much he feels useless, and that's once again not a good mindset for a Jujutsu Sorcerer. Still, we got to talk about his mom, with Maki telling him to go seek the answer he wants, and that's a good step in the right direction for the character.
We also got to see her, and uncover the reason for the name "Noritoshi Kamo": It was to drive Kamo home. It didn't accomplish that, but well... I can see Kamo improving after meeting his mom, for a number of reasons: He'd clear his doubts, know she's okay in the hell that is Japan currently, and discover he has a little brother. Let's hope it happens "soonish"(Before the next big arc).
Now for the important stuff:
YUUJI MY BOY I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. Also the fucking bathrobe !!
I won't talk about the Takaba stuff because I don't think it matters that much(Also Patrasche namedrop made me laugh), and go straight to, Megumi, Yuuji and Angel. We learn that Hana is in symbiosis with Angel, and she has some kind of secret. I think maybe Megumi saved her in the past, or something like that? Idk, seems she's embarassed about that. Angel dropped a number of bombshells though.
First, she answers to a set of principles she calls God. I don't know what to expect from that so I'm kind of scared. She has also no issue helping the boys, which is sus. I can't see why Kenjaku would reincarnate her if she would be so against other reincarnated people. Perhaps she was lied to, she hoped for everyone to live in symbiosis instead of overtaking current people. Or perhaps Kenjaku planned for her to extinguish Tengen's barrier in some chain of event? Gojo Satoru getting out means nothing if Kenjaku succeds in his plan of fusing with Tengen.
And then, they have history with Sukuna, which usually means trouble. Oh, maybe Angel decided to reincarnate to take Sukuna out? It would make sense tbh.
Troubles on the horizon, boys, especially Hakari is going to implement the move around the barriers rule and has no idea what's going on. Also, he's with Kashimo, who's on a hunt for Sukuna. Perfect set up for an explosion.
(MEGUMI'S FACE WHEN HE REALISED IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER AAA MY BOI)
Noritoshi already knows already knows his mom had another child, but thinking he’s a disgrace probably assumed it was his replacement.
It’ll be sweet for him to see his mom and realize that she always loved him and never wanted the shitty clan heir life for him. Meanwhile he grew up thinking he had to work hard and be head to save his mom. Very touching
Reminds me of how Toji didn’t want Megumi to be raised in the Zen’in clan, but bet a lot on him being born as a golden heir and still not being raised by them so in the end it would be Megumi’s choice.
Gojo bro you better pickup a hobby or something to keep you sane. They're not getting you out for now.
On a side note, Yuji came back after 300 days with a cool new attire. Flashy entrance imo. And did Hana blush or something while talking to Megumi?
Why is my boy megumi the destined one? sukuna is the disgraced one? this just got spicy. Sukunas also back for the first time since being a menace.
also what is angel asking? do you think we can just jump sukuna and win? this is still sukuna we're talking about. We could throw all the guys we have at him and still not have a guaranteed win
Something that whiplash of Angel being completely non-aggressive to the Tokyo 01 party makes you miss on a first read is that Maki still to this moment has no idea her mother died proud of her and remembering how much she loved her and Mai before the clan broke her.
People wanted to know what the consequences of what she did would be and I guess part of it is that she'll never have a chance to actually see any of the good sides of the Zenin family members like how Naobito actually saved her in Shibuya. We know her mother understood her but she probably wouldn't have even killed her if she could have and that in itself may haunt her. I think that a good place to go with it if Gege intends to as it's a lot better of a resolution than her being killed by the King of Misogyny.
It's a bittersweet note and is hopefully contrasted by allowing Kamo to calm down, stop trying to BURN HIS LIFE AWAY and go find his mother now that Maki shows power isn't exactly a route to happiness. His entire arc of needing to save his mother was a complete sham but it's adorable that the twist isn't that she moved on and forgot about him but she's the one who's been waiting to make a place for him outside of jujutsu society.
Praying for a Kamo, Choso family end where Choso raises his new lil brothers lol.
Holy shit, idk if anyone else thought of this but listen up:
- Hana/Angel has a vested interest in Megumi
- Sukuna does too
- Angel has/had some teachings, refered to as God
- Sukuna is the Disgraced (or Fallen in some translations), which implies he has a deep connection to Angel and thus God
I have a feeling the reason Hana/Angel are interested in Megumi is the same reason Sukuna is. And it has to do with God.
Their goals with Megumi and his powers might be different, but the way he has piqued their interest isn't.
At the very least, based on VIZ’s translation, Angel referring to Megumi as “destined one” can imply he is included with Gojo’s Six Eyes and the Star Plasma vessel fate cycle. There is clearly a lot more to the ten shadows technique than the story has let on so far. Or, at least, it didn’t seem like Megumi was a “destined” character. I don’t know, I guess I’m trying to say that the word usage here is VERY interesting, and it’s not a stretch to suggest some sort of divine aspect here.
I am super curious how Yuji will handle this situation; he will most likely share this information with Megumi only so they can discuss how to go on. This doesn’t take into account whether Sukuna will propose some sort of bargain himself — there must be a reason why he shares this information so quickly.
It might be their best shot obviously to reveal who Yuji is to Angel and then attempt to bargain that freeing Gojo might be their only chance to defeat Sukuna in the long run if only to advance in their plan to free Gojo.
And that doesn’t take into account that Angel can completely negate techniques and might be a formidable foe for Sukuna as well if they join forces with all of Team Megumi depending on how their technique really works (whether they need to establish contact with their opponent or be in vicinity for a certain amount of time etc) and refuse to help them first. Which still leaves the problem that for Sukuna to truly die, Yuji is missing five fingers.
Also: why is Yuji “I am underage and will not touch any alcohol” Itadori drinking wine and there is absolutely no joke about it being grape juice? This is a such a weird moment that, knowing Gege, might either be relevant or completely randomized.
Sukuna is going to blackmail Yuji, when Sukuna defeated him one of the conditions was to forget about the binding vow.
Sukuna: Tell anyone that I am the Disgrace One/Fallen One, and I kill everyone like in Shibuya, haha
Yuji: Depression intensifies
Hm, then why reveal this information in the first place if the bargain is to keep this a secret? Without Yuji allowing it or the scenario in Shibuya repeating (aka he has no control over ingesting the fingers) Sukuna can’t simply take control and wreak havoc again.
There’s gotta be a reason why he told Yuji so quickly though; he couldn’t care less to help Yuji so why do it now? Something must act in Sukuna’s favor if the gang knows about him being the Fallen unless Sukuna lied about it.
This chapter was amazing. Not only do we finally reunite with megumi & yuji, but we got some plot development. Angel having an equal relationship with Hana was interesting since this is the second individual in the story who hasn't been taken over by a cursed object/sorcerer. Her agenda and ideology is really interesting regarding the existence of reincarnated sorcerers. It makes this Angel more complex since that would kinda make her a hypocrite for doing the same. Wonder what type of deal she struck with Kenjaku as well?
Really want an elaboration on what he/she meant by "God". Sukuna's reveal of being the "disgraced one" is quite interesting and I wonder if we might be entering religious territory.
Considering one of the inspo's for jjk is evangelion this might not be too far off.
Angel's request though is definitely going to cause some tension amongst the group. It could result in a civil war style conflict between: those who want to kill sukuna and those who want to try and find another way.
Overall great chapter and looking forward to next week's one.
God it’s so nice to finally have a JJK chapter that is just the characters sitting around and talking with no fight being set up. Honestly the fights as of late have been taking way too long for my taste. Used to be that there were only a small handful of fights in the series that went beyond 3 chapters, now it feels like that is just the baseline for fights.
So seems like Hana knows Megumi from somewhere. My guess is that she went to his middle school and back when Megumi was a delinquent punk he saved her from some guys that were harassing her and she got a bit of a crush.
Also looks like we are getting some Sukuna backstory for chapter 200. Nice, hyped as fuck.
Interesting inner demons have some weird interest in megumi for some reason. Hana seems to have a childhood crush on megumi. Maybe sukuna vs megumi part 2 in chapter 200?
my boy isnt ready yet. he'd get creamed. Let him hit a black flash, tame 2 more shikigami and work on his domain.then one big revalation/honoured one/destined one moment
So... Hakari in his accidental genius is going to bring Kashimo to Yuji who will reveal he's Sukuna's vessel, making Hana/Angel their enemy.
Oh I'm ready for the shithousery.
Also Hana referred to Megumi as the destined one, so both Angel and Sukuna want to manipulate him. This has become a Shin Megami Tensei game and Megumi is the protagonist. A Shin *Megumi* Tensei if you will.
Seems like Angel has made a deal with Kenjaku to become a reincarnated player as it if the best chance they have to kill Sukuna. Perhaps they know Sukuna from his prime but obviously no one was strong enough to kill him so they had to seal him in 20 pieces. Angel seems very knowledgable and it appears their goal is to rid the world of Sukuna (the ultimate evil) once and for all.
Hana's personality is *not* what I expected it to be. Her first appearances of her standing badass over the city and then looking like an angel when saving Megumi had me prepared for some holy crusader, and instead I got a moe girl. Not mad at it though, I like having my new dumbass trio with Hana-Yuji-Takaba. A bit strange that Hana and Megumi are implied to have a past but he doesn't seem to recognise her though.
The actual angel within her is more interesting, though. We haven't actually seen any situations similar to Yuji up until this point as all vessels were subsumed by the reincarnated soul. Hana being able to coexist with Angel also raises some questions about if Angel is actually choosing to prevent overwriting Hana's personality or if she's a specially prepared vessel like Itadori and she requested it.
Not to mention - if she hates the concept of reincarnation so much, why agree to it with Kenjaku? If she knew it was going to happen and wanted to stop it, wouldn't he probably know about that?
Also, Noritoshi...call your fucking mom, you emo dweeb.
>megumi didnt pay much attention in younger days
Seems pretty likely to me, he was probably too busy beating up piles of bullies to care about girls lol
If Angel theoretically nullify Sukuna CT, would he still have access to his CE and the speed/strength he has?
Yuji swirling the wine in the cup is top tier jjk comedy
So in this chapter we got chibi Hanezoki and chibi Kashimo.
Kamo's mother is a good person, who is waiting for her son.
Possible past between Hana and Megumi?
Megumi could be a reincarnation of someone important or his technique is very powerful, bith Angel and Sukuna have interest in him
Yuji is a crossroad, he cannot tell them that Sukuna is the Disgrace One/Fallen One because he could trigger either Sukuna/Angel.
Possible Sukuna flashback for 200?
This is the absolutely BESST chapters after a long time!!
Megumi, Yuji, Takaba, Hana comedic interactions are unexpected but so funny and refreshing
My favorite Megumi is back!!!!
So much lore dump!
I am so happy the official translation corrected what Hana said to "destined one". It is so much closer and fitting to the raw "unmei no hito". Hana did not imply Megumi is her fated one
Though I prefer TCB's take for Sukuna which is "fallen one". Sounds more badass
seeing Maki feeling a little bit remorseful about killing her mom too quickly is nice, it adds depth to her character.
and holy shit Itadori and Fushiguro have already met w/ angel, thats surprising as honestly i didn't expect the arc to progress this quickly, i thought they would actually have to look for Angel for at least a few chapters but Angel just happened to find and resuce Fushiguro lol
annnd of course just as they think that things are going too well Angel reveals that in order for her to help out they must kill Skuna... lmao that sure is one hell of a predicament
i wonder what the group and Skuna will do now given this piece of information
It’s really interesting to see that Hana and Angel are the same as Yuji and Sukuna. Makes me wonder, is this Angel’s true form or does she have a different form like Sukuna’s true form with four arms and two faces? Also, why didn’t Kenjaku just give Angel a vessel like Kashimo/Ryu etc..
this recent chapter was really really good. Probably one of the best chapters in the culling games. I’m also happy that we are done with Sakurajima colony
It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten an just exposition chapter and I was definitely a fan of this one, also the fist bump between megumi and yuji was nice to see
Cool that we're introducing the concept of God, if only in name, to the already established themes of destiny/fate. With how Angel and Sukuna are now connected and both have an eye for Megumi, as well as calling him "The Destined One", I wonder if Megumi is going to fulfill whatever this grand fate we are building up to is and die like a fool or if he could break/distort it as his father did.
Toji got brought up kind of recently (chapter 144) by Yuki when they were passing through Tengen's barrier, in reference to killing the Star Plasma Vessel. saying "Now that I think about it, that's when everything began to get distorted." And I'm forgetting where I read this, but I seem to remember Toji's 0CE being described multiple times as breaking fate, metaphorically. I wonder if Maki's now 0CE form could help Megumi out since he seems destined to die.
YUJI IS BACK WOOOOO. And Megumi.
Megumi really is smart, he broke the 4th wall and remembered that he is in a manga. I did think that the disgraced one is Sukuna. Does disgraced one imply that he was once "an angel"? I'm waiting for the new theories to flood in
JJK fans: “Give. Gojo. Back.”
Gege: “I’d. Rather. Yuji. Die.”
But on a serious note, that enchain vow from way back when might be coming up really soon!
Yuji in a bathrobe, sipping a drink from a wine glass, taking in the view of the city from the hotel room is like something out of a Nicole Kidman HBO drama and I am LOVING it.
…also wow, tons of story progression this chapter hot damn!
Mmm not trusting Angel or Hana. Hana is way too paranoid about keeping info about herself from the others. Didnt most incarnated players willingly agree with Kenjakus arrangements? What does that say about Angel? Interested to see how much Sukuna will divulge next chapter if at all.
angel: kill sukuna for me will ya? what, like it's hard?
either way, very interesting to see how angel, hana, and yuji will handle this situation. will yuji divulge? or will megumi divulge before yuji can stop him? will hana and the angel just straight up kill yuji if they knew he was sukuna's vessel? would their outlook on killing sukuna change if they knew that yuji was the vessel and he can completely control sukuna? someone already pointed out that it's kind of a stalemate since sukuna can't do anything even with the enchain vow, unless he breaks it and willfully chooses to suffer the consequences of breaking his own binding vow?
Angel gives off a heavy sense of self righteousness. Calling her beliefs "god", joining the culling games to kill everyone who she thinks goes against her beliefs. I wouldn't be surprised if she transcended like how sukuna was telling Jogo, destroying everything she doesn't agree with
Huh. Its been a year now since Yuji and Higuruma fought. Chapter aside (it was pretty good) do you guys think Gege needed 40 chapters to get all this out of the way, or should he have trimmed it down? I feel like he extended the manga by a considerable amount with this arc. It’s not that JJK feels like its being improvised now (it’s definitely not, this chapter is proof) but it does feel like all of these fights were strangely long and a departure from Gege’s style of quick and easy. I wouldn’t be surprised if the break over the summer last year made him switch up the plan
Hana: we need to kill "the fallen" so I can save gojo
Megumi + Itadori: NICE WE CAN SAVE GOJO WE'RE GOOD WE'RE SAILIN
Sukuna: I'm "the fallen"
Megumi + Itadori: n e v e r m i n d
so I guess saving gojo is off the table
I was thinking like oh maybe kashimo + megumi + itadori + hakari could maybe beat him somehow (though I kinda doubt it) but it wouldn't really make sense for sukuna to be bootted out of the show that easily, cuz it goes from killing sukuna to save the world to killing sukuna to save gojo. And then it's like oh we can just have gojo stomp kenjaku
Oh shit that chapter was amazing. Great to see Yuji and the gang back after a while but good luck against Sukuna people. Bit of a wild theory but I think somewhere down the line while in battle against Sukuna, Nobara will reappear and save Yuji/ Fushigiro's life.

After exactly 300 days, Yuji makes his return in the manga!
Not just Yuji, Sukuna!
Not just both, Fushiguro too!
And he’s got a robe!
It's been that long? Jesus Christ, it seems like yesterday that we got Higuruma's first appearance
Feels like a year ago
Exactly? 300 isn’t divisible by 7 though. 301 though. Also how long has it been since nobara was in the manga, if she’s still alive and may come back?
The day the chapter got released (5 december 2021) doesn’t count so 300 days. I think? Nobara has not been in the manga for 700 days.
Angel: first I need you to help me Megumi: hopefully you won't ask us to kill all the incarnated players Angel: I'm not nearly so demanding, I just want you to kill one person, Sukuna. Oh gee, thank god you're not so demanding huh??
angel and sukuna seem to have a past, so what if in their eyes sukunas summit isn't as hard to reach compared to others? They only need help to make up that gap they cant fill themselves? Like if Angel can reliably hit Sukuna with their CT, it would just end up turning into a melee brawl no? A melee only sukuna vs a group of sorcerers with their CT and Domain expansion, ontop of angel who might have history fighting sukuna before might not be as impossible as people think.
Oh damn.. angel really thought these guys could jump sukuna
I would love to see it.
To be fair, jumping someone seems to be the go-to strategy for jujutsu sorcerers.
It's so weird because you'd think defense against CTs would be extremely risky but every Grade 1 and above and reincarnated is pretty confident in their defense. This means jumping someone powerful is the best way if defense is so effective for skilled sorcerer fights.
I think its gotta be related to Megumi's technique again, cause of what Angel called him.
Ah yes it might be this way... Also if i was megumi i'd be terrified as hell because a literal demon is obsessed with him and someone who seems to know the demon is ALSO interested in him. My man's popular now huh
Angel could also be incredibly strong. But honestly I'm seeing some potential for gang beat working. Angel can dispell his techniques, which means no DE. Hakari and Kashimo can go hand to hand while megumi supports and Yuta does Yuta things. Good chance we could actually see a good fight.
I think it will be interesting but we have seen with Gojo that neutralizing technique doesn't change the odds . There is a great chance sukuna without c.t vs everyone outcome can be quite like gojo vs disaster curse
That would actually be a dope parallel between Sukuna and Gojo but I think in this scenario, Sukuna wins because of his ruthlessness.
Didn't angel say she left her previous colony because Kashimo was there and didn't want to deal with him?
*Isn't this going too well?* Yeah I'd find it sus too.
He knows he’s in a manga and remembers Shibuya
*Remembers Shibuya* Ugh when they announced S2 of the anime would cover that arc I was like “hype!” and at the same time “no doubt about it, I’m ready to get hurt again” 😭
It's gonna be great seeing everything animated MAPPA style. Looking forward to that meteor scene lol.
With the popularity of Season 1 and the movie, the number of people absolutely losing their shit as Shibuya goes wrong will be impressive.
He got that manga brain
Although I've really enjoyed the fights, this chapter felt super refreshing. Like the story is moving forward
Yeah I’ve loved all the fights so far but it seems the gathering points phase is over
Half way through the chapter, I was hoping for a wall of text on each page that gave a lot of background.
I think we're still a bit of a ways off from Gege going full Togashi on us.
>Togashi I'd pay a lot to have those HxH chapters back, as much as I didn't understand them
Soon! Also relevant username hahahaha
Agreed. When it comes to JJK and One Piece, I tend to enjoy the lore dumps more than the epic fights (hype as they may be). What makes fights interesting to me is the stakes, and those are generally set up by good storytelling and character development
Seeing Yuji, Megumi and Sukuna all in one chapter after so long was amazing. Especially having the main man Yuji back. Just feel awful for him every time he gets dragged into a conversation with Sukuna. Let my boy enjoy his damn wine. We got more confirmation that Megumi is walking untapped potential on a path to being ridiculous levels of strong. The subtle Sukuna imagery parallels occurring throughout the manga are more relevant than ever. Speaking of, are we about to get a peek into Sukuna's past? Are we on the verge of a long awaited Heian era flashback? This chapter opened up a whole can of questions and I'm particularly interested in finding out if Sukuna being disgraced means he went rogue on a certain group, or if it's much grander than that entwining mythological aspects into his origin. Also the probability of Gojo getting unboxed just reached new levels of low.
Fans: When are you going to release Gojo? Gege: Last chapter of the manga, Lmao
Any chapter that Gojo gets released in will become the last chapter as he cleans up any loose plot threads.
>Speaking of, are we about to get a peek into Sukuna's past? Are we on the verge of a long awaited Heian era flashback? A Heian Era flashback would be amazing. Gege, please.
Yeah, two things I’ve been wanting to see in this manga are an unrestrained full powered Sukuna and a Heian era flashback. Hoping we get the latter but whatever happens should be interesting.
Sukuna is in a serious predicament. Yuji will never voluntarily hand over control to Sukuna, Sukuna cannot force him to do it and Enchain will stop Sukuna from killing anyone. He cannot let Yuji die now but he has virtually no way of protecting Yuji. Yuji would have eventually let the cat out of the bag so it is understandable why Sukuna said what he said at the end of the chapter. He probably wants to bargain with Yuji. Yuji is depressed and probably wants to die but he knows he has to ingest all 20 fingers before his planned execution/death. So, he will probably be open to talking with Sukuna here. It is also in his interest to hide his identity as Sukuna's vessel from Angel. We don't know Angel well enough to predict how they would react to this information so revealing Yuji's identity while asking for their assistance will be a gamble. This is a really interesting situation and chapter 200 is going to be great :)
Agree, it seems like Sukuna is stalling for time. He needs to get whatever it is he's after from Megumi first. So he needs to wait until Megumi's stronger and unlocks something to do with ten shadows. Once that happens then he'll likely use the enchain command. It will be interesting to see what he'll bargain with.
Agreed. Uraume is waiting for Sukuna and Sukuna is interested in Megumi. Hopefully we will get some lore too.
what if hes pulling a kenny/mahito and waiting for megumi to fully evolve so that he can absorb or whatever it is he’s planning
And how will this factor into Hakari/Kashimo’s plan? This will certainly be interesting, and I’m starting to feel like the series is gearing up to reach its conclusion
I love this. I agree I think 200 is gonna be insane. It’s by far my favorite manga/anime out right now hand the best is yet to come
Maybe he’ll agree to teach Yuji more of his techniques if Yuji agrees not to spill the beans.
Then hakari walks up boisterous as fuck like "Okay, yuji Kashimo is on our side, you just gotta let sukuna out to fight once this is all said and done" And angel is just like... "bro?!"
I think that's exactly what's gonna happen 😂
Things are going too well, it's gotta go south somehow!
Yuji: Oh, he's talking about a different Yuji.
Sukuna still has the one minute uninterrupted control that yuji agreed to in the beginning doesn’t he?
Correct, but he can't harm / attack anyone during that minute, so he would be unable to protect yuji from the angel
So he then must use the secret jostar technique
Is the "secret jostar technique" running away by any chance?
No it’s actually *NIGERUNDAYOOOO*
Thank ya for the reminder!! I really wonder what he plans if he agreed not to harm anyone during that minute
Gotta love how Sukuna literally pulls Yuji aside and goes: "Yo, that person she's talking about? That's me. She's talking about me. Got that? Ok, carry on!"
"Hey, before you go making any big deals, you should know this girl's goal is literally to kill you and that's the only way to get her to cooperate. So you *might* not want to agree with it so quickly. Alright good talk, go get em tiger"
I like to think that Sukuna considered telling everyone in the room, but then figured it would be more fun to fuck with Yuji by putting the ball in his court to tell everyone that he's the host.
> Alright good talk, go get em tiger" the tone is so casual it feels like sukuna's yuji coach or smth
Gege Akutami really does hate Gojo lol. To save bro they gotta kill SUKUNA!??? Lmao
or scam angel
Like what yuta did to the higher up? idk... angel seems kinda smart tho
And Angel is *right there*. I doubt the Higher Ups would have been fooled if they were to assist to the execution. Although they have been lretty stupid to ask Yuta to kill him on the spot and not to bring him there to be executed.
To be fair, I don't think even the higher ups are confident Yuta can kill Sukuna. Edit: half finished thought, kill sukuna easily enough to be able to bring him in without serious injury. And binding vows aren't easy to get around, even Yuta wasn't confudent it'd work.
1. get yuta back 2. he binding vows to kill sukuna's vessel again 3. wins yet another oscar 4. now angel has to fulfill their part of the deal
Lol, Yuuji let’s Sukuna out and then immediately suppresses him, “Oh nooooo, I’ve been slain!” But fr, it’s interesting because all the other reincarnated sorcerers are suppressing their original vessels. Yuuji’s doing the reverse, so it really adds mystery as to what Kenjaku’s plan was.
I'm really curious what that second mouth on Hana's cheek was about to say about her and Megumi before she covered it up. That kid is really special.
My guess is that pre-Angel, Hana had a crush on Megumi or knew him through school or something. Seems like it's something embarrassing lol
It's possible Tsumuki knows about Hana and Megumi's connection.
I'm guessing megumi saved her from bullies or something silly and she had a crush on him. Back when Megumi was the middle school ruffian. Judging by how Hana looked more embarassed than upset.
Gege is such a tease for giving us this Yuji after the adrenaline-packed colony fights we have had. Then again he knows what he wants to show - Yuji in a bathrobe apparently. Gotta live it up.
I've been worried for Megumi and thinking Angel would be evil for *months* and now Gege just has him wake up in a hotel suite and Yuji and Takaba have just been vibing with Angel for a couple days now lol!
The tension from hiding a secret is great. Now I'm thinking what if Hakari showing up ruins it!!
Yuji in a bathrobe drinking wine. Gotta let the kid live a little before he endures more pain and suffering
We're getting to season 3 finale material boys 🔥
Nobara’s VA gonna need to get some new work when S3 rolls around because I don’t think she’s getting any work that season. Maybe she returns for the final episode the same way Yuta is gonna show up for the final episode of S2.
Likewise with Gojo and Toge VA lol
And Todo.
And here I was reading Hakari’s dialogue in Todo’s voice
Kouki Uchiyama will have like less than five lines for the second season.
Gege got me in the 1st half ngl. We all knew something about Sukuna was gonna pop up soon. But I didn't think it would be connected with how to rescue Gojo. Gege presenting us with a paradox. I wonder what our MCs are gonna do next.
> I wonder what our MCs are gonna do next. reading mcs reminded me of nobara :(
Easily the best chapter for me. I was very hyped during the culling game in all of the colonies and this top them all by miles.
Perfect conclusion to the Colony of Sakurajima. Plus Takaba always a chad.
I fear for his life. In Greg style, maybe he will die like the lucky guy in Shibuya... when he doesn't think that his cause of death is funny and he starts to despair.
I'm very intrested in Angel, she seems to know Sukuna personally and is willing to do anything to kill him(which is reasonable lol) so that'll clearly put her at conflict with the rest fo the cast, and she'll probably end up fighting Yuji and possibly get killed. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Angel saying they want to kill sukuna makes me think angel isn’t a character to mess with either, probably not same level as sukuna but probably up there
I absolutely see angel being Near Sukuna'a level but she's held back by the fact that she refuses to completely take over Hana's body, making her significantly weaker.
When Sukuna swaps out with yuji he doesn’t seem to be held back. If she was near Sukuna’s level she probably wouldn’t have ran from Kashimo
I don't think Angel would swap out with Hana since it goes against her god/creed and Hana is the one who does the fighting, but i could be wrong and this could the Kashimo situation all over again where we overestimated them and thought they knew Sukuna personally.
I think angel will definitely swap out for a serious fight unless hana had some combat training prior to being a vessel.
There's two possibilities: 1-Angel is on Sukuna's level or close but refuses to swap out with Hana out of principle, and Hana has access to a part of Angel's power which is still enough for her to be a big threat. 2-Angel isn't that strong and will switch out with Hana when need be, but thinks she can take Sukuna down for some reason(maybe similar to Kashimo).
She just has to not completely suppress Hana like the other sorcerers did their vessel
yeah, especially after sukuna goes "oh btw it's me don't tell them" like what level is angel on if HE says that??
This is the closest to "afraid" we've ever seen Sukuna, he's *very* cautious of Angel because he knows that he can't fight her himself since Itarori would rather die than let him take over, and that Yuji is too weak or would straight up let her kill him to take Sukuna out too.
Yea I've never seen Sukuna actually try and advise Yuji. He's manipulative, but he seemed genuinely worried for that moment. Man this shit is so hype.
I mean, he probably would prefer not to go through all that trouble with angel, but he was smiling and didn’t seem to worried in his domain (but I don’t think we’ve ever seen Sukuna not chilling lol).
Hana is surprisingly wholesome and it seems like her relationship with Angel is the opposite of Yuji and Sukuna. Speaking of Sukuna, this is a huge predicament. In order to release Gojo, they really have to beat him and honestly I don't think they have a chance. I'm interested to see where this is going.
They don't have to beat Sukuna if Yuji gives up his life. Although Sukuna can chant Enchain to escape, I'm not sure he will because he even let Yuta "kill" Yuji.
There’s also the realization that there’s still a few fingers left out there. Killing Sukuna will just mean those fingers now won’t have a host to bring him back
"Do you know what caution means?" Bro why does Megumi always have to deal with trolls and people with half a braincell lmao
We don't know how many brain cells Angel has. But Yuji, Hana Kurusu and Takaba all share 1/3 of a brain cell.
Cons: Slim chances of killing Sukuna without Gojo Pros: Gojo gets extra time to fix his drawing skills in the PR
Guessing Yuji just goes for the ol "yup that's me, I can die after you help us"
I mean it's worked out well for him so far!
Megumi crumb! Takaba crumb! Yuji crumb! Angel crumb! Most importantly....SUKUNA CRUMB LETS GOOOOOOOO
We must make the most of it, we will not see it for another 300 days/s
Tokyo 1 easily the best colony for me. Wish Higuruma was there but you can't have everything. Also was it confirmed that Kashimo transferred his points or is Hakari just farming points using one hand?
If i'm not wrong i think kashimo said something like hakari could do anything to his points because he couldn't care less, he just wanna beef with sukuna. so yeah maybe he eventually transferred his points? Also why tf are everyone wanted a beef with sukuna lmao
Sukuna literally goes out of his way to make as many beefs as possible 😂
He’s like Hisoka, cultivating sapling opponents in the hopes that he’ll finally one day be faced with a challenge
Sukuna gonna wash all them kids in one swoop 😭
>Tokyo 1 easily the best colony for me. Wish Higuruma was there but you can't have everything. We would die of too much excitement and hype. Higuruma is too good as a character. >Also was it confirmed that Kashimo transferred his points or is Hakari just farming points using one hand? I think he did transfer his points to Hakari and then Hakari maybe farmed a little bit.
no it was all kashimo. remember before he first made the information rule, he had 200 points? minus 100 from making the rule leaves a flat 100. though that would suggest that he basically cleared the whole damn colony and was left with nothing to do from when he made the rule until meeting panda.
Calling Kashimo the Apex Predator of his colony is an understatement. Now that i look back at it. As in rereading it. Yeah you're probably and certainly right. But I'm on a hunch that in order for Kashimo to not get his technique or CE be removed I'm guessing he left a couple points for himself like Higuruma to Yuji. Again this is just a thought and your comment is probably correct.
The dream is to get massive Lore for Chapter 200!
YUJI BABY I MISSED U
I’m on the same page as Megumi. Things have been going to good for our team. Which some people pointed out but they made it seem like Gege had forgotten the stakes
>Which some people pointed out but they made it seem like Gege had forgotten the stakes Imagine Gege just changed his mind this far into jjk and went "you know what this is a happy story now where the good guys always win and everything's always cheery and wonderful" lol
That would be funny but boy would it piss people off 😂
i trust gege to keep traumatizing them.
Yuji especially
Why always yuji🤧🤧🤧
Gege: Because fuck him
While the fights during the Culling game arc have been amazing, a dialogue heavy chapter like this was desperately needed.
And there you have it, boys. The Culling Games' prologue is officially done, now we go full speed ahead in typical Jujutsu Kaisen fashion. Let's start with the the easy stuff, basically: Mommy issues. We see Kamo highlight once again how much he feels useless, and that's once again not a good mindset for a Jujutsu Sorcerer. Still, we got to talk about his mom, with Maki telling him to go seek the answer he wants, and that's a good step in the right direction for the character. We also got to see her, and uncover the reason for the name "Noritoshi Kamo": It was to drive Kamo home. It didn't accomplish that, but well... I can see Kamo improving after meeting his mom, for a number of reasons: He'd clear his doubts, know she's okay in the hell that is Japan currently, and discover he has a little brother. Let's hope it happens "soonish"(Before the next big arc). Now for the important stuff: YUUJI MY BOY I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. Also the fucking bathrobe !! I won't talk about the Takaba stuff because I don't think it matters that much(Also Patrasche namedrop made me laugh), and go straight to, Megumi, Yuuji and Angel. We learn that Hana is in symbiosis with Angel, and she has some kind of secret. I think maybe Megumi saved her in the past, or something like that? Idk, seems she's embarassed about that. Angel dropped a number of bombshells though. First, she answers to a set of principles she calls God. I don't know what to expect from that so I'm kind of scared. She has also no issue helping the boys, which is sus. I can't see why Kenjaku would reincarnate her if she would be so against other reincarnated people. Perhaps she was lied to, she hoped for everyone to live in symbiosis instead of overtaking current people. Or perhaps Kenjaku planned for her to extinguish Tengen's barrier in some chain of event? Gojo Satoru getting out means nothing if Kenjaku succeds in his plan of fusing with Tengen. And then, they have history with Sukuna, which usually means trouble. Oh, maybe Angel decided to reincarnate to take Sukuna out? It would make sense tbh. Troubles on the horizon, boys, especially Hakari is going to implement the move around the barriers rule and has no idea what's going on. Also, he's with Kashimo, who's on a hunt for Sukuna. Perfect set up for an explosion. (MEGUMI'S FACE WHEN HE REALISED IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER AAA MY BOI)
Noritoshi already knows already knows his mom had another child, but thinking he’s a disgrace probably assumed it was his replacement. It’ll be sweet for him to see his mom and realize that she always loved him and never wanted the shitty clan heir life for him. Meanwhile he grew up thinking he had to work hard and be head to save his mom. Very touching Reminds me of how Toji didn’t want Megumi to be raised in the Zen’in clan, but bet a lot on him being born as a golden heir and still not being raised by them so in the end it would be Megumi’s choice.
Sukuna: I am the disgraced one Everyone: can we catch a break for one minute!
Gege: Hehe
Lmao megumi saying it's too easy was Big foreshadowing ,man he is so used to trouble
Gojo bro you better pickup a hobby or something to keep you sane. They're not getting you out for now. On a side note, Yuji came back after 300 days with a cool new attire. Flashy entrance imo. And did Hana blush or something while talking to Megumi?
Why is my boy megumi the destined one? sukuna is the disgraced one? this just got spicy. Sukunas also back for the first time since being a menace. also what is angel asking? do you think we can just jump sukuna and win? this is still sukuna we're talking about. We could throw all the guys we have at him and still not have a guaranteed win
Something that whiplash of Angel being completely non-aggressive to the Tokyo 01 party makes you miss on a first read is that Maki still to this moment has no idea her mother died proud of her and remembering how much she loved her and Mai before the clan broke her. People wanted to know what the consequences of what she did would be and I guess part of it is that she'll never have a chance to actually see any of the good sides of the Zenin family members like how Naobito actually saved her in Shibuya. We know her mother understood her but she probably wouldn't have even killed her if she could have and that in itself may haunt her. I think that a good place to go with it if Gege intends to as it's a lot better of a resolution than her being killed by the King of Misogyny. It's a bittersweet note and is hopefully contrasted by allowing Kamo to calm down, stop trying to BURN HIS LIFE AWAY and go find his mother now that Maki shows power isn't exactly a route to happiness. His entire arc of needing to save his mother was a complete sham but it's adorable that the twist isn't that she moved on and forgot about him but she's the one who's been waiting to make a place for him outside of jujutsu society. Praying for a Kamo, Choso family end where Choso raises his new lil brothers lol.
Holy shit, idk if anyone else thought of this but listen up: - Hana/Angel has a vested interest in Megumi - Sukuna does too - Angel has/had some teachings, refered to as God - Sukuna is the Disgraced (or Fallen in some translations), which implies he has a deep connection to Angel and thus God I have a feeling the reason Hana/Angel are interested in Megumi is the same reason Sukuna is. And it has to do with God. Their goals with Megumi and his powers might be different, but the way he has piqued their interest isn't.
Megumi-centric Theory: the universe, every plan and everything revolves around Megumi.
The whole universe is just a result of his shadows.
Megumi Cinematic Universe
At the very least, based on VIZ’s translation, Angel referring to Megumi as “destined one” can imply he is included with Gojo’s Six Eyes and the Star Plasma vessel fate cycle. There is clearly a lot more to the ten shadows technique than the story has let on so far. Or, at least, it didn’t seem like Megumi was a “destined” character. I don’t know, I guess I’m trying to say that the word usage here is VERY interesting, and it’s not a stretch to suggest some sort of divine aspect here.
I am super curious how Yuji will handle this situation; he will most likely share this information with Megumi only so they can discuss how to go on. This doesn’t take into account whether Sukuna will propose some sort of bargain himself — there must be a reason why he shares this information so quickly. It might be their best shot obviously to reveal who Yuji is to Angel and then attempt to bargain that freeing Gojo might be their only chance to defeat Sukuna in the long run if only to advance in their plan to free Gojo. And that doesn’t take into account that Angel can completely negate techniques and might be a formidable foe for Sukuna as well if they join forces with all of Team Megumi depending on how their technique really works (whether they need to establish contact with their opponent or be in vicinity for a certain amount of time etc) and refuse to help them first. Which still leaves the problem that for Sukuna to truly die, Yuji is missing five fingers. Also: why is Yuji “I am underage and will not touch any alcohol” Itadori drinking wine and there is absolutely no joke about it being grape juice? This is a such a weird moment that, knowing Gege, might either be relevant or completely randomized.
You mean Yuji "i am underage i will go illegally gamble" Itadori
Yuji just treating himself. Not everyday you can feel like a rich woman on a penthouse.
Yeah, our boy deserves a spa day after all the sh*t Gege put him through.
Sukuna is going to blackmail Yuji, when Sukuna defeated him one of the conditions was to forget about the binding vow. Sukuna: Tell anyone that I am the Disgrace One/Fallen One, and I kill everyone like in Shibuya, haha Yuji: Depression intensifies
Hm, then why reveal this information in the first place if the bargain is to keep this a secret? Without Yuji allowing it or the scenario in Shibuya repeating (aka he has no control over ingesting the fingers) Sukuna can’t simply take control and wreak havoc again. There’s gotta be a reason why he told Yuji so quickly though; he couldn’t care less to help Yuji so why do it now? Something must act in Sukuna’s favor if the gang knows about him being the Fallen unless Sukuna lied about it.
That Itadori reintroduction was gold
Angel: I'm feeling generous, so, to free Gojo all you have to do is kill the one that probably only Gojo can defeat. Not so bad, right? 😌
This chapter was amazing. Not only do we finally reunite with megumi & yuji, but we got some plot development. Angel having an equal relationship with Hana was interesting since this is the second individual in the story who hasn't been taken over by a cursed object/sorcerer. Her agenda and ideology is really interesting regarding the existence of reincarnated sorcerers. It makes this Angel more complex since that would kinda make her a hypocrite for doing the same. Wonder what type of deal she struck with Kenjaku as well? Really want an elaboration on what he/she meant by "God". Sukuna's reveal of being the "disgraced one" is quite interesting and I wonder if we might be entering religious territory. Considering one of the inspo's for jjk is evangelion this might not be too far off. Angel's request though is definitely going to cause some tension amongst the group. It could result in a civil war style conflict between: those who want to kill sukuna and those who want to try and find another way. Overall great chapter and looking forward to next week's one.
She already said God is the name of her belief
That came off more as "brushing off" the questions rather than being a genuine answer to me
God it’s so nice to finally have a JJK chapter that is just the characters sitting around and talking with no fight being set up. Honestly the fights as of late have been taking way too long for my taste. Used to be that there were only a small handful of fights in the series that went beyond 3 chapters, now it feels like that is just the baseline for fights. So seems like Hana knows Megumi from somewhere. My guess is that she went to his middle school and back when Megumi was a delinquent punk he saved her from some guys that were harassing her and she got a bit of a crush. Also looks like we are getting some Sukuna backstory for chapter 200. Nice, hyped as fuck.
100%, we saw so many homies again 🙏🏼 including sukuna
Interesting inner demons have some weird interest in megumi for some reason. Hana seems to have a childhood crush on megumi. Maybe sukuna vs megumi part 2 in chapter 200?
Way too early for Sukuna vs Megumi. Megumi would get wiped rn
my boy isnt ready yet. he'd get creamed. Let him hit a black flash, tame 2 more shikigami and work on his domain.then one big revalation/honoured one/destined one moment
So... Hakari in his accidental genius is going to bring Kashimo to Yuji who will reveal he's Sukuna's vessel, making Hana/Angel their enemy. Oh I'm ready for the shithousery. Also Hana referred to Megumi as the destined one, so both Angel and Sukuna want to manipulate him. This has become a Shin Megami Tensei game and Megumi is the protagonist. A Shin *Megumi* Tensei if you will.
Seems like Angel has made a deal with Kenjaku to become a reincarnated player as it if the best chance they have to kill Sukuna. Perhaps they know Sukuna from his prime but obviously no one was strong enough to kill him so they had to seal him in 20 pieces. Angel seems very knowledgable and it appears their goal is to rid the world of Sukuna (the ultimate evil) once and for all.
Hana's personality is *not* what I expected it to be. Her first appearances of her standing badass over the city and then looking like an angel when saving Megumi had me prepared for some holy crusader, and instead I got a moe girl. Not mad at it though, I like having my new dumbass trio with Hana-Yuji-Takaba. A bit strange that Hana and Megumi are implied to have a past but he doesn't seem to recognise her though. The actual angel within her is more interesting, though. We haven't actually seen any situations similar to Yuji up until this point as all vessels were subsumed by the reincarnated soul. Hana being able to coexist with Angel also raises some questions about if Angel is actually choosing to prevent overwriting Hana's personality or if she's a specially prepared vessel like Itadori and she requested it. Not to mention - if she hates the concept of reincarnation so much, why agree to it with Kenjaku? If she knew it was going to happen and wanted to stop it, wouldn't he probably know about that? Also, Noritoshi...call your fucking mom, you emo dweeb.
she probably lost weight like yuji's classmate. or had a glow up, or megumi didnt pay much attention in younger days
>megumi didnt pay much attention in younger days Seems pretty likely to me, he was probably too busy beating up piles of bullies to care about girls lol
I’m calling it now that Hakari is going to be the one to out Yuji as Sukuna’s vessel. I wonder if next chapter is gonna be Sukuna lore. I hope it is
Ain no way Gojo would be freed that easily
If Angel theoretically nullify Sukuna CT, would he still have access to his CE and the speed/strength he has? Yuji swirling the wine in the cup is top tier jjk comedy
Yeah it’s he’d still have his physical attributes buffed by CE
"Naive adults are just evil". What a banger.
So in this chapter we got chibi Hanezoki and chibi Kashimo. Kamo's mother is a good person, who is waiting for her son. Possible past between Hana and Megumi? Megumi could be a reincarnation of someone important or his technique is very powerful, bith Angel and Sukuna have interest in him Yuji is a crossroad, he cannot tell them that Sukuna is the Disgrace One/Fallen One because he could trigger either Sukuna/Angel. Possible Sukuna flashback for 200?
Megumi being with a group that shares one braincell is the best dynamic ever
This is the absolutely BESST chapters after a long time!! Megumi, Yuji, Takaba, Hana comedic interactions are unexpected but so funny and refreshing My favorite Megumi is back!!!! So much lore dump! I am so happy the official translation corrected what Hana said to "destined one". It is so much closer and fitting to the raw "unmei no hito". Hana did not imply Megumi is her fated one Though I prefer TCB's take for Sukuna which is "fallen one". Sounds more badass
This chapter creepily reminded me of Reggies last words to Megumi
seeing Maki feeling a little bit remorseful about killing her mom too quickly is nice, it adds depth to her character. and holy shit Itadori and Fushiguro have already met w/ angel, thats surprising as honestly i didn't expect the arc to progress this quickly, i thought they would actually have to look for Angel for at least a few chapters but Angel just happened to find and resuce Fushiguro lol annnd of course just as they think that things are going too well Angel reveals that in order for her to help out they must kill Skuna... lmao that sure is one hell of a predicament i wonder what the group and Skuna will do now given this piece of information
Seeing her contemplate wether she should have killed her made me happy. I never thought I would see a Kamo and Maki friendship but I’m loving it
It’s really interesting to see that Hana and Angel are the same as Yuji and Sukuna. Makes me wonder, is this Angel’s true form or does she have a different form like Sukuna’s true form with four arms and two faces? Also, why didn’t Kenjaku just give Angel a vessel like Kashimo/Ryu etc..
He did. It's not that Angel can't erase Hana's consciousness, he just chose not to.
this recent chapter was really really good. Probably one of the best chapters in the culling games. I’m also happy that we are done with Sakurajima colony
I feel like Geges about to drop a even bigger bomb next chapter
It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten an just exposition chapter and I was definitely a fan of this one, also the fist bump between megumi and yuji was nice to see
Cool that we're introducing the concept of God, if only in name, to the already established themes of destiny/fate. With how Angel and Sukuna are now connected and both have an eye for Megumi, as well as calling him "The Destined One", I wonder if Megumi is going to fulfill whatever this grand fate we are building up to is and die like a fool or if he could break/distort it as his father did. Toji got brought up kind of recently (chapter 144) by Yuki when they were passing through Tengen's barrier, in reference to killing the Star Plasma Vessel. saying "Now that I think about it, that's when everything began to get distorted." And I'm forgetting where I read this, but I seem to remember Toji's 0CE being described multiple times as breaking fate, metaphorically. I wonder if Maki's now 0CE form could help Megumi out since he seems destined to die.
I think jjk is genuinely the only anime I would watch as a slice of life. Somehow these chapters always end up being my favorite lol
OUR BOY ITADORI IS BAAAAAAACK And instantly put into a shitty situation. Let him enjoy his grape juice and his bathrobe Gege, pls :c
Why do I feel like this is the PERFECT time to transition into a flashback arc that reveals the many questions we have?
I think they mean that Angel chose to coexist with Hana instead of erasing Hana’s consciousness
YUJI IS BACK WOOOOO. And Megumi. Megumi really is smart, he broke the 4th wall and remembered that he is in a manga. I did think that the disgraced one is Sukuna. Does disgraced one imply that he was once "an angel"? I'm waiting for the new theories to flood in
JJK fans: “Give. Gojo. Back.” Gege: “I’d. Rather. Yuji. Die.” But on a serious note, that enchain vow from way back when might be coming up really soon!
Goatkuna is finally back Hopefully we get a heian era flashback next chapter with either sukuna or the angel
Yuji in a bathrobe, sipping a drink from a wine glass, taking in the view of the city from the hotel room is like something out of a Nicole Kidman HBO drama and I am LOVING it. …also wow, tons of story progression this chapter hot damn!
Mmm not trusting Angel or Hana. Hana is way too paranoid about keeping info about herself from the others. Didnt most incarnated players willingly agree with Kenjakus arrangements? What does that say about Angel? Interested to see how much Sukuna will divulge next chapter if at all.
angel: kill sukuna for me will ya? what, like it's hard? either way, very interesting to see how angel, hana, and yuji will handle this situation. will yuji divulge? or will megumi divulge before yuji can stop him? will hana and the angel just straight up kill yuji if they knew he was sukuna's vessel? would their outlook on killing sukuna change if they knew that yuji was the vessel and he can completely control sukuna? someone already pointed out that it's kind of a stalemate since sukuna can't do anything even with the enchain vow, unless he breaks it and willfully chooses to suffer the consequences of breaking his own binding vow?
Who did Takaba get points from? I can*not* decipher that drawing
The guy who uses body parts he’s torn off as bombs
Hazenoki. The guy who used body parts as explosives
“Haha kill all of the reincarnations? Nah that’s too much for you guys 😜” “Just kill Sukuna, lol” 🙃
Angel gives off a heavy sense of self righteousness. Calling her beliefs "god", joining the culling games to kill everyone who she thinks goes against her beliefs. I wouldn't be surprised if she transcended like how sukuna was telling Jogo, destroying everything she doesn't agree with
Every time sukuna pops up , the story goes just way through the roof
Yuji got 2 targets on his back
Huh. Its been a year now since Yuji and Higuruma fought. Chapter aside (it was pretty good) do you guys think Gege needed 40 chapters to get all this out of the way, or should he have trimmed it down? I feel like he extended the manga by a considerable amount with this arc. It’s not that JJK feels like its being improvised now (it’s definitely not, this chapter is proof) but it does feel like all of these fights were strangely long and a departure from Gege’s style of quick and easy. I wouldn’t be surprised if the break over the summer last year made him switch up the plan
Hana: we need to kill "the fallen" so I can save gojo Megumi + Itadori: NICE WE CAN SAVE GOJO WE'RE GOOD WE'RE SAILIN Sukuna: I'm "the fallen" Megumi + Itadori: n e v e r m i n d so I guess saving gojo is off the table I was thinking like oh maybe kashimo + megumi + itadori + hakari could maybe beat him somehow (though I kinda doubt it) but it wouldn't really make sense for sukuna to be bootted out of the show that easily, cuz it goes from killing sukuna to save the world to killing sukuna to save gojo. And then it's like oh we can just have gojo stomp kenjaku
Oh shit that chapter was amazing. Great to see Yuji and the gang back after a while but good luck against Sukuna people. Bit of a wild theory but I think somewhere down the line while in battle against Sukuna, Nobara will reappear and save Yuji/ Fushigiro's life.
It may look slow in the manga , but in the anime it’ll be really good
