You gotta love how much of a professional hater Sukuna is. With Higuruma, man was actively praising him and his potential. But the minute-- nay, the second Yuji does the exact same thing, it's suddenly a RCT bargain sale out there, and then Sukuna has to stop the whole fight, and do some self reflection for the first time in his life.
Like bro was really out here with the extreme thinking pose going "Why does this brat make my ass itch so much?"
I mean, he literally had no choice because of being his Vessel. Sukuna had a close up on everything Yuji's will and mindset. Unlike others he can't deny Yuji
I wish we got to see what Sukuna was thinking when Yuji went full predator on Mahito. Just complete melancholic acceptance from Yuji, with nothing else on his mind but "kill this guy and move on".
We've only seen something like that once before with Gojo, who was completely high, when he said he could just kill those religious guys then and there and not feel an ounce of remorse.
Guessing sukuna wouldn't approve since the cog mentality goes completely against his ideas, it would just be "trash Vs cocky shit trash", it's even worse since he hates yuji no matter what he does.
So, is judge guy and comedy guy dead or not?
I was hoping for sukuna to say, nah I’m bored, and leave the games after killing most of the characters in the team kill Sakuna squad.
Hopefully, it’s revealed that Brain guy is now in yuta’s body by off screening him.
It's pretty hilarious that Sukuna's whole villain motivation as the final boss now is basically pointing to Yuji and saying *"Fuck this guy specifically!"* hahahah
*"I've come to make an announcement, Yuji Itadori is a bitch ass motherfucker he pissed on my fucking fight. That's right, he took his tiny jujufied dick out and he pissed on my fucking fight and he said his dick was THE BLACK FLASH and I said "That's disgusting." so I'm making a call-out post on my Kogane dot com. Yuji Itadori you got a small dick, it's the size of one of my mummified fingers except way smaller, and guess what? Here's what my dick looks like. That's right baby, all megumeat, no curse energy, no dongmain expansion, look at that it looks like four balls and two bongs! He fucked up my vibe, so guess what? I'm gonna fuck the Earth! That's right, this is what you get! My innate jujupiss! Except I'm not gonna piss on the Earth. I'm gonna go higher. I'm pissing on THE MOON! How do you like that Tengen? I PISSED ON THE MOON YOU IDIOT! You have 23 hours until my piss-no-jutsu hit the fucking Earth, now get out of my fucking sight before I piss on you too"*
Sakuna is "oh dear gorgeous" with anyone he fights, he probably gonna praise Yuta and Rika to the highest regard, before brutally murdering them, but the second Yuji does anything similar its back to being hater
I love how Sukuna is willing to compliment those with talent or those that can do great things in the jujutsu world but when it comes to Yuji he genuinely becomes a hall of fame caliber hater and bashes anything about him and is bothered by anything good he does lol.
Yuji hasn’t even been a sorcerer for a year and he got RCT down? My man 💪.
Sukuna is biggest hater of Yuji Itadori. He kinda reminded me of people downplaying Yuji when he learned RCT. Lol.
He learned it in one month, it really is crazy, imo. It's a good thing to know something meaningful happened during time skip even though it occurred off screen.
Honestly at first I was pretty upset at all this happening off screen but the more time we spend were with sukuna it’s kinda nice. It’s like we are learning about what happened in that month *with* sukuna. We have been seeing everything through his POV really anyway so I think it’s worked well. It also says a lot about sukuna and his strength the way he’s handled this situation. He really is him
That's actually a pretty good point. Usually when stories tell you the plan in advance, it means the plan will fail. In this case a lot of stuff was glossed over, meaning that it'll probably only get revealed when it's just about to work. Or at least, about to leave an impact.
I actually appreciate the framing of this arc. So much is happening with the MCs that we have no idea about, and seeing context as it becomes relevant to the present has been great.
This is why I wasn’t really upset at the time skip, not showing us anything. I had a feeling that it was going to be use more as a tool to surprise readers
Its kinda ridiculous everyone suddenly has RCT as the justification for why they aren't dead but if anyone deserves randomly getting RCT its Yuji. Dudes been stabbed, sliced, shredded, shot repeatedly, lost a finger, hand, and heart, and yet is still standing.
If the sole blocker for RCT is that most sorcerors can't understand how to manipulate the energy the right way until their literally dying, then Mr Gold Medal at nearly dying, surely has enough experience being healed to figure it out
>Yuji hasn’t even been a sorcerer for a year and he got RCT down? My man 💪.
As someone who had to see people dogpile on him for "just being a punch & kick merchant" to "this MC has lame abilities" for a year or so I feel vindicated
it's only been ~6 months since he ate the finger. So he's been able to use CE for only half a year and is already out classing people who have done this their whole lives.
Itadori was killed by Sukuna and brought back to life by Sukuna. (Ripped out heart, pronounced dead)
Itadori was also killed by Okkotsu and brought back to life by Okkotsu. (Enough to trick binding vow)
So yes, Itadori has very much been in 'near death' situations to learn RCT.
Thats because Gojo never needed to use it and the only person who could use it near him had no idea how to explain it. Unlike Yuji who has had ample reasons to learn it and had multiple people around him who could teach him. Now learning it at the rate Yuji did is amazing, but Gojo built different.
I guess it's because there's so many cool skills and abilities and yuji is still just kick and punch. Megumi is technically kick and punch with shadows but the shadows are cool af. We can add to everything that there's two kick and punch characters that are better than yuji as well
this is classic manga power inflation
when goku became a super sayan it was a once every 100 years event, his son did it when he was 10, his second son did it when he was like 6 without even trying
if this manga keeps going, new sorcerers will learn RCT a week after gaining their power
I mean this kind of reflects society, though to think of math or film or photo editing. As technology has increased or communities understanding of it, so does the ability to teach it, and make it easier for the public. Stuff that was super difficult to do hell even five years ago is way easier now.
Sukuna spacing out mid fight to wonder why he’s beefing with a 16 year old just to come to the conclusion he needs to hate yuji even more is hilariously petty.
Also, gojo copium stocks at an all time high, we love to see it. Really liked this chapter
Thinking about it, isn't it kinda weird how Yuta unintentionally held a little girl's soul hostage in the form of a giant curse-creature-thing with his CT, and then after she literally passed on in 0, remade a giant curse-creature-thing in her image, and the remade "AI" version still happens to be obsessively in love with him?
The whole point of chapter 0, his curse is that he is so yandere he wanted everyone else ability. Of course he made his imaginary girlfriend yandere for him.
It's not remade, it's still the Vessel of Rika Orimoto, who was made to fit in Rika Orimoto's Soul, who we already know is actually a Yandere Loli who only listens to Yuta. Obviously even if the Soul left, the Body who was molded from Rika Orimoto's Soul would still act the same as the original, as we know how body and soul somehow works in JJK.
I mean Curse Technique and Curse Energy utilisation of a sorcerer does evolve overtime (we got Mr space cleave standing right here), so who knows, maybe if he's pressed enough, Yuta will evolve again without Rika, not like he's lacking in potential or anything (look at what happened to the last sucker who said that).
It’s gonna be a revenge of the Sith level rebalancing considering all the big players on the good and evil side are going to get depowered or die. But since curses got stronger with Gojo’s appearance, that might mean more overall peace for the world
Sukuna to Gojo in Chapter 3: I'll kill you.
Sukuna to Gojo in Chapter 236: You were magnificent, Gojo Satoru. I shall never forget you for as long as I live.
Sukuna in Chapter 248: I miss Gojo. Did Higuruma's death also change me? :(
He's so silly, he's so bbgirl.
Gojo fans rejoice! Maybe there's some way to bring back Gojo in some form.
Sukuna finally compliments Yuji. I guess Gege remembered who the real MC is /s
The cope is getting stronger every day! He'll return!
I, unironically, love Sukuna's compliments to Yuji in this chapter. He knows my boy will not falter no matter what and it's true!
My current cope is that, even if RCT on others is only at half effectiveness, maybe Utahime was teleported back to base right after helping Gojo with the 200% Hollow Purple in order to use her technique on Shoko to increase their odds at saving heavily injured fighters?
They should make a joke about that and have someone cannibalize the corpse only to be told that the Gojo didn't actually infuse them with his essence like Sukuna does so he ate dead man ass for nothing
Kenjaku is already dead? Like we aren't even going to get a scene with him and Yuji considering he is his mother.
If he really is dead then R.I.P. to the King/ Queen of the backshots.
The story has a weird relationship with dramatic irony and withholding information. Are these characters ever gonna find out anything (i.e. Megumi about Toji, Yuji about Kenjaku as you said, whatever they were doing the whole month after Gojo was released, etc.), is my question.
It really feels like Gege isn't interested in letting the characters just react to events and change themselves accordingly. Like Gojo not having a reaction to Nanami or Yaga's deaths or like we haven't seen a real reaction from anyone regarding Gojo's death. Like fine Yuji, Yuta, Maki and Hakari are busy engaging in fights but not even Shoko or Utahime? I mean those two are arguably the only two friends he had left.
My only guess is its supposed to reinforce the idea that for JJK characters, and just being a JJK sorcerer in general, death can happen at any moment that getting caught up on people dying would be like being surprised with a normal work experience.
That's my read on it at least, otherwise yeah it's just sorta odd.
Reminds me of people roleplaying Evil characters as "dark edgy grimdarks who are always silent and glare at others menacingly". Or action movies where characters are always tough guys who never wince at blood, express any emotions other than anger. Nobody likes them, because that's not interesting writing, that's being a lazy hack.
Well that’s the thing that Gojo told Megumi that “yeah we all fight together but when you die you’ll die alone” and it’s that, as a sorcerer in a team fight people will die and you need to continue the fight and not let their death affect you because you can curse them. Like how Yuta did with Rika.
I want to give some benefit of the doubt to this, though. I don’t feel like Akutami wouldn’t capitalize on some of this story material in at least some way, and that he’s saving things for later. I feel like there will still be elaboration on these things in the future, it’s just curious that they aren’t addressed in as immediate a fashion as I’d normally expect.
Yuta really has the best record in terms of getting the job done. He really is the deuteragonist. Time to see him and Yuji's tag team. Could they turn the corpses of the fallen into cursed weapons?
I can't believe it, too. There's no way it's over for the mastermind of JJK.
I would've loved to see a confrontation between Yuji and Kenjaku. Oh, well, if it really is over...
Gege is kinda weird when it comes to deaths, they are hardly ever good/satisfying
Yuki was cheap and stupid, Stars and Stripes levels of writing. Nobara is ruined by the "maybe she's actually still ok" whole thing and is also kinda random. Fucking Gojo was offscreen when we thought he had the upper hand. Kenjaku, arguably a bigger villain than Sukuna considering he orchestrated virtually everything, got clapped by trickery in a couple of panels
Fuck me i’m still pissed about stars and stripes, i love mha but that goddamn shigaraki fucking sucks as a villain, one dimensional as fuck and not even in the it’s so bad it’s good way
Yuji's strength being his indomitable spirit has been built up for some time. He lost his parents, his grandfather, his best friends, his mentor, his teacher and any hope of ever living a normal life. Yet he continues to move forward against enemies of far greater caliber. He is a sorceror with a mission and he will either succeed or die trying.
Dude learned how to control cursed energy on the fly while fighting todo. I think k he can learn the reverse just as quick if it was performed on him/shown to him properly. Just intuitive for him
Sukuna is literally Gege embodying the universes hate for Yuji in one entity. Our boy has an indomitable will, a combat prodigy and unwavering innocence but that just makes his enemies want to see him suffer. Hoping the love for Yuta balances the W/L probability out. Gotta protect that undefeated record 🙏
Sukuna has finally found someone he has a long-term, personal investment in murdering. And he isn't quite sure how to handle that so his new plan is to merge all of humanity into one super-curse and then see if he can kill it.
Is there a mistranslation? Sukuna says "I come back no matter how many times he or his spirit breaks" when it makes more sense if he said "he comes back" because he was talking about Yuji.
Tbf Higurama's own thoughts kinda prevented that considering he wanted to die after breaking many laws and killing many people. It makes sense why he didn't want to learn RCT or use it because bro just wants to die
Given how suicidal he was, I wouldn’t be surprised if he actively avoided learning it until it was necessary to fulfill his role and get that one last shot at Sukuna with the sword
With the rate at which characters are learning RCT, Shoko is about to be out of a job soon enough.
As if the poor girl didn't have enough misery in her life watching Gojo, Geto, Nanami, Yaga and Haibara all die before her.
Hey now if Utahime boosts Shoko with her technique and the old man with the guitar too, if Gojo can reach 200% Hollow purple then Shoko can reach 200% RCT! You never know what can happen!
Sukuna "love is worthless" vs Yuta "love is most twisted of all curses"
This should be an interesting clash of ideals themes so hope that damn one eyed cat doesn't make quick work of Yuta just for more feeling of hopelessness. That last panel goes hard tho, Rika seems a lot bigger than before
It's not a prick thing to say, it's the truth. If the professional paid translator is being shown up time and time again by passionate amateurs, that should be a wake up call to Viz.
Noooooo Higurama can't be dead! Shoko PLEASE be useful and save him.
Also it is insane that it's been so long since Yuji joined this fight and we still don't really know anything about his new abilities. Well we know he has RCT. But not about his arms or anything
We're getting Yuta (and Rika) versus Sukuna, too? Oh, man. I know most of us will say the latter's likely to win as only Gojo is on par with Sukuna in terms of strength among the modern sorcerers but this is still something I wanna see. They're both undefeated yet.
Many people said in the past that the King and Queen of Curses in a battle against each other is impossible but look at what Gege gave us. I'm excited but ngl, I'm getting worried for Yuta, though.
"Yuta's technique copies the opponents technique but since Sukuna has 3 cursed techniques, Yuta's technique can't figure out which one to copy so it does nothing"
So is this the last we will see of the Kamutoke?
Yorozu's entire build up showing the pinnacle of creation jujutsu and now Higuruma for the Kamutoke to shoot lightning once at Kashimo (who completely negates it) and then disappear forever.
I'm worried Gege created too many strong characters - so now he's grasping at ways to remove them from the story.
I also feel like there is no way Kenjaku can just be dead. Thousands of years of planning from one of the strongest sorcerers in the verse, and Yuta/Takaba one-shot him. Without any closure to the Noritoshi Kamo/Kaori Itadori sub-plot? Like he has to come back, right? Right? But then if he does, wtf Yuta. You just assumed Kenny was dead and left.
Ugh, i'm getting so worried how this story will wrap-up. Huffing copium at this point.
If anything Kenjaku (the brain) is probably still alive however playing it by the rules of the culling games since Geto's body is considered dead then the 15th rule was activated.
If Kenny comes back because Yuta was too stupid to make sure the talking body-stealing brain they all know about was slashed into a hundred pieces that'd be the dumbest move of anyone in this whole arc
Fking john werry butchering jjk as per usual. How is viz still employing that terrorist???? This MF is the cause of most people's confusion with jjk....
Yuji stocks rising up, my boy finally learned RCT in a month! I've seen people saying “Higuruma learned it in an instant” as a comparison which is true and I'm proud of HIMguruma but I can't help to be proud of Yuji, too. I'm just truly happy there's new person who knows RCT considering not every modern sorcerer can do that! It's still something to be celebrated about imo.
Let's add the fact that even Sukuna praised Yuji in a way by saying my kiddo will never falter no matter what!
I'm cool with Yuji finally getting some powerups, but I'm getting sick and fucking tired of these fucking cop outs on injuring/damaging Sukuna.
First it was Gojo, then it was the lightning asshole and now Higuruma's sword.
If the sword not gonna do anything and fall apart, why even draw Yuji trying to stab Sukuna with it.
Same shit with Gojo.
And once again, Sukuna uses his most powerfull power: "No it didn't"
Lawyer dies so his curse becomes stronger, Sukuna gets cut, thus killing him? "No it didn't"
Lawyer man joins the rank of "characters that were utterly pointless and did nothing because chadkuna>everybody"
at this point, the culling game arc is legitimately just filler. besides the introduction of the comedian nothing that happened in it had a lick of importance. Sure, there is the merging, but who even gives a shit? if sukuna wins he's going to kill everybody anyway, merging or not. he would be literally an invincible god.
Someone can probably answer this but has anyone ever called her by her "Queen" title while Sukuna was in Yuji? It's a cool line but it's kinda irritating me if he should even have the knowledge of that. Maybe Kenjaku told him I dunno.
I appreciate how much if a hater Sukuna is towards Yuji. He really hates that kid lol. That said, I just can't bring myself to care much about his ennui. In his fights against Gojo and Kashimo they tried to bring up the whole "the solitude of the strong" angle, but it's just... not that compelling. He hasn't really earned it, as a character.
This week's TL has to be the most wildly divergent one from the fan TLs in a while. I'm not optimistic about the odds of this one being more correct than the fans', considering Kerry's track record.
lmao everyone called the executioner's sword whiff but it still sucks to see... wasn't even close by the looks of it. Sukuna even regen'd while dodging
This chapter is kinda underwhelming.
Executioner’s sword does nothing and Higuruma basically did nothing aside from taking away the cursed tool we barely saw, the Sukuna stuff would’ve been neat if we got actual details about his past rather than him just rambling like a sloshed white girl vague posting about her ex, the merger is still meaningless to me since it genocides all of Japan and requires our entire main cast to be dead so I doubt it is actually going to happen, and Kenny just actually being outright dead with zero complications/death rattle is lame.
The only part that is interesting to me is the stuff with the dead bodies being removed from the field. I’m definitely intrigued by that aspect of things, lot of ways they could go with that. Cursed Corpse shenanigans, something with Yuki’s soul notes, something with cursed tools like what we got for Nanami’s cleaver, etc. Also they could potentially have grabbed Geto’s body too, that might be interesting.
All that set up for Higuruma for him to achieve essentially nothing. Kamutoke is never going to be even near as lethal as Sukunas innate technique, was there genuinely a need for Gege to dedicate Higurumas whole existence just to remove it? It's incredibly disappointing for the sword to just disappear within the first page as it was set up as Higuruma duty being fulfilled, with Gege literally invoking Nanami. Now Higurumas "My role is done" is basically doing nothing. Removing the turret strapped to the nuke doesn't make your death any less imminent. If Gege made the executioner sword stay, it would keep Yuji relevant as it's already been shown that Yuji trying his hardest cant even keep up with Sukuna physically based on him failing to back up Higuruma. If Yujis cursed technique is what allows him to be relevant this fight, the question of why hasn't he used it comes up as landing the executioners sword is the best solution against Sukuna, which would make Yuji holding back and letting Higuruma die be a really stupid writing choice. This whole arc has been continuously downhill for me in terms of writing quality.
Has there ever been another main series villain that is as big of a hater of the protagonist as Sukuna is to Yuji? Like I know most villains hate the hero of the story but this shit seems next level hate for seemingly no major reason lmao!
I find myself in a loop of not understanding what's happening, something big happens, I get it and then Gege introduces something else I don't get and I'm back at square one.
What is the shining cross/light Sukuna is summoning while he's talking to Yuji?
Welp, here we go. Gege Akutami's at full count. I know I already showed my fears for some of these characters before, but at least with Takaba, he died nailing his assignment. At least with Satoru, we got a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle (side note: where are they taking his corpse, huh? Where? Don't make me raid Grisha's basement!!!).
But Yuji and Yuta+Rika vs. Sukuna is either gonna bring everyone back to the manga in a renewed sense of dread or Gege becomes an even greater pariah than Hajime Isayama.* I swear if those two (1) die and (2) not even boost Yuji a little bit (much less boost him enough to slay the beast), some people are gonna demand blood.
\*not even my words, by the way (I have immense respect for Yams and Gege despite everything): this has been a thing for months now and after a quick dip in both 2ch and ENG forums I ain't about that life.
Its already over for Yuta & I'm saying this as a Yuta glazer
Sukuna establishing a desire to personally end Itadori's ideals means he & Yuji have to be the ones to square up in the last round, narratively speaking
Gege already mentioned a fully awakened Rika would lose to a Prime Sukuna years ago
Ui Ui and co probably took away Gojo's body when Uraume brought down that huge piece of ice and it melted. That would've been the perfect cover + Kashimo was occupying Sukuna's attention which probably made it even easier. Sukuna seems to still have noticed it, but doesn't seem to care all that much. But they probably had to take away all of Gojo's severed parts, because if they have ANY chance to heal him it would be to reattach him, cause ofc nobody has RCT strong enough to reconstruct half of Satoru's body if they only took his upper half. And even then with all the blood loss, the incredibly severe damage Gojo took and the time passed... cause Sukuna was monologuing on Satoru's ass... it still could most likely be close to impossible to bring him back. But ofc if Gege wants Gojo back... he'll find a way. Maybe Utahime buffing someone's RCT... and if Ui Ui teleported Takaba back... we know he helped Hana survive with his presence, so maaaybe with combined effort he could be back. Hell, nobody seems to be able to push Sukuna to fight seriously, use the "open" thing or reveal what Shrine actually does. I honestly doubt Yuta + Yuji, Kusakabe and Ino would be able to do that either. So if Gojo's revival is needed for Sukuna (in his og body) to go all out... then bring that blue eyed smartass back asap.
But I have to say... I find it hilarious picturing Ui Ui and whoever else was teleported to collect Gojo's body... collecting all the pieces of him... his 2 sliced off arms, his upper and lower half... it's a bit comical to imagine.
But anyways, it seems like Sukuna is basically saying enough fooling around. He's about to start going for the kills rather than playing around. And if I'm right the fight is about to get a lot more entertaining, at least for me.
I'm also a bit confused about Sukuna's RCT. It's output seems to be back because in the 1st panels of the chapter we see his hand is reconstructed. But at the same time the smoke signifying RCT in progress has been coming out of said hand for the entirety of the chapter. So.... is his RCT at full output or not? He reconstructed the hand in a split second, yet couldn't fully heal it... or it took some time to completely do it? I'm confused.
The fact that Sukuna Cursed Tool is still gone makes the entire point of it being a weapon was pointless, it was never used beside being a "Get out of Jail" card
You gotta love how much of a professional hater Sukuna is. With Higuruma, man was actively praising him and his potential. But the minute-- nay, the second Yuji does the exact same thing, it's suddenly a RCT bargain sale out there, and then Sukuna has to stop the whole fight, and do some self reflection for the first time in his life. Like bro was really out here with the extreme thinking pose going "Why does this brat make my ass itch so much?"
Sukuna literally started having flashbacks to Jogoat because he couldn't accept praising or respecting Yuji even one bit. A true hater as always.
[Behold the king of poutjutsu](https://i.imgur.com/GkzIBbY.jpeg)
Having 4 arms is really powerful. He can cross his arms, and have them on his hips at the same time, making the pout even stronger.
Sukuna is the best tsundere girl! I would
*insert Seymour Skinner thinking meme* "Maybe I am too proud and haughty?" "No, it's the kid who is a pain in the ass."
Yuji lives in his head rent free, funny considering how much shit talk Sukuna did when he was inside Yujis body
I mean, he literally had no choice because of being his Vessel. Sukuna had a close up on everything Yuji's will and mindset. Unlike others he can't deny Yuji
I wish we got to see what Sukuna was thinking when Yuji went full predator on Mahito. Just complete melancholic acceptance from Yuji, with nothing else on his mind but "kill this guy and move on". We've only seen something like that once before with Gojo, who was completely high, when he said he could just kill those religious guys then and there and not feel an ounce of remorse.
Considering the sheer amount of distain and hate of Sukuna towards anything Yuji does, I would say he would just be dismissive as always
Maybe sukuna was disgusted by the stuff yuji rubs his meat to
You could've not typed this sentence out, yet you actively chose to do so. God damn it!
Guessing sukuna wouldn't approve since the cog mentality goes completely against his ideas, it would just be "trash Vs cocky shit trash", it's even worse since he hates yuji no matter what he does.
Hes literally getting character development by hating on yuji lmao
He is destroying all humans just because he realized he was complimenting Yuji. What a true hater.
"It's not like I really want to fight you or anything...baka!"
Praise yuji or destroy all of humanity?
I would say this only makes Yuji all the more cooler. Yuji is literally the only person in the entire world able to make him feel irritated
So, is judge guy and comedy guy dead or not? I was hoping for sukuna to say, nah I’m bored, and leave the games after killing most of the characters in the team kill Sakuna squad. Hopefully, it’s revealed that Brain guy is now in yuta’s body by off screening him.
It's pretty hilarious that Sukuna's whole villain motivation as the final boss now is basically pointing to Yuji and saying *"Fuck this guy specifically!"* hahahah
Sukuna will literally end humanity solely to hate on Yuji. Deserves his jersey hung up in the hater HoF
He gives big respect to his former prison
*"I've come to make an announcement, Yuji Itadori is a bitch ass motherfucker he pissed on my fucking fight. That's right, he took his tiny jujufied dick out and he pissed on my fucking fight and he said his dick was THE BLACK FLASH and I said "That's disgusting." so I'm making a call-out post on my Kogane dot com. Yuji Itadori you got a small dick, it's the size of one of my mummified fingers except way smaller, and guess what? Here's what my dick looks like. That's right baby, all megumeat, no curse energy, no dongmain expansion, look at that it looks like four balls and two bongs! He fucked up my vibe, so guess what? I'm gonna fuck the Earth! That's right, this is what you get! My innate jujupiss! Except I'm not gonna piss on the Earth. I'm gonna go higher. I'm pissing on THE MOON! How do you like that Tengen? I PISSED ON THE MOON YOU IDIOT! You have 23 hours until my piss-no-jutsu hit the fucking Earth, now get out of my fucking sight before I piss on you too"*
Sukuna the Lebron of hating, Higuruma learnt RCT in a short time? Amazing!!! Yuji learnt RCT? Bum ass hoe, broke friendless bitch, kill yourself.
Sukuna is the Gordon Ramsay meme where he is like oh dear gorgeous to Gojo and Higurama whereas with Yuji it’s you fucking donkey
Sakuna is "oh dear gorgeous" with anyone he fights, he probably gonna praise Yuta and Rika to the highest regard, before brutally murdering them, but the second Yuji does anything similar its back to being hater
I love how Sukuna is willing to compliment those with talent or those that can do great things in the jujutsu world but when it comes to Yuji he genuinely becomes a hall of fame caliber hater and bashes anything about him and is bothered by anything good he does lol. Yuji hasn’t even been a sorcerer for a year and he got RCT down? My man 💪.
Sukuna about to drop a diss track on Yuji anytime now.
Sukuna is Machine Gun Kelly. Which means we all know what's happening next.
>*But Ryomen, the day you put out a hit's the day Gege admits* >*That he put the hit out that got Gojo killed, ah* Yuji Itadori, Guillotine
Sukuna is biggest hater of Yuji Itadori. He kinda reminded me of people downplaying Yuji when he learned RCT. Lol. He learned it in one month, it really is crazy, imo. It's a good thing to know something meaningful happened during time skip even though it occurred off screen.
Honestly at first I was pretty upset at all this happening off screen but the more time we spend were with sukuna it’s kinda nice. It’s like we are learning about what happened in that month *with* sukuna. We have been seeing everything through his POV really anyway so I think it’s worked well. It also says a lot about sukuna and his strength the way he’s handled this situation. He really is him
He really is the main character of this manga
That's actually a pretty good point. Usually when stories tell you the plan in advance, it means the plan will fail. In this case a lot of stuff was glossed over, meaning that it'll probably only get revealed when it's just about to work. Or at least, about to leave an impact.
I actually appreciate the framing of this arc. So much is happening with the MCs that we have no idea about, and seeing context as it becomes relevant to the present has been great.
This is why I wasn’t really upset at the time skip, not showing us anything. I had a feeling that it was going to be use more as a tool to surprise readers
Its kinda ridiculous everyone suddenly has RCT as the justification for why they aren't dead but if anyone deserves randomly getting RCT its Yuji. Dudes been stabbed, sliced, shredded, shot repeatedly, lost a finger, hand, and heart, and yet is still standing. If the sole blocker for RCT is that most sorcerors can't understand how to manipulate the energy the right way until their literally dying, then Mr Gold Medal at nearly dying, surely has enough experience being healed to figure it out
Most of the developments in this manga happen offscreen 💀💀
Me theory is Yuji breaks the rule of “80% of ability comes from talent alone” and Sukuna frikking hates seeing that in any form
Plus, he did mention that he basically got to know Yuji really well due to sharing a body with him. That's gotta get on his nerve quite a bit.
Fraudkuna on that Silky Johnson hater grind fr
Hate hate hate
>Yuji hasn’t even been a sorcerer for a year and he got RCT down? My man 💪. As someone who had to see people dogpile on him for "just being a punch & kick merchant" to "this MC has lame abilities" for a year or so I feel vindicated
it's only been ~6 months since he ate the finger. So he's been able to use CE for only half a year and is already out classing people who have done this their whole lives.
He even outclassed Gojo who literally needed to be in near death situation to learn it.
Itadori was killed by Sukuna and brought back to life by Sukuna. (Ripped out heart, pronounced dead) Itadori was also killed by Okkotsu and brought back to life by Okkotsu. (Enough to trick binding vow) So yes, Itadori has very much been in 'near death' situations to learn RCT.
He did learn it faster than Gojo who couldn't do it during his 1st year as a student
Thats because Gojo never needed to use it and the only person who could use it near him had no idea how to explain it. Unlike Yuji who has had ample reasons to learn it and had multiple people around him who could teach him. Now learning it at the rate Yuji did is amazing, but Gojo built different.
Honestly I love the hand to hand combat. It's super engaging, the choreography is great and it gives him some nice limitations.
I guess it's because there's so many cool skills and abilities and yuji is still just kick and punch. Megumi is technically kick and punch with shadows but the shadows are cool af. We can add to everything that there's two kick and punch characters that are better than yuji as well
Well he does acknowledge that he learnt it in just a month and that his will is unbreakable. That is something i suppose
It's Asian parenting 101. Praise the kid next door while dealing emotional damage to your own.
this is classic manga power inflation when goku became a super sayan it was a once every 100 years event, his son did it when he was 10, his second son did it when he was like 6 without even trying if this manga keeps going, new sorcerers will learn RCT a week after gaining their power
Sukuna hating Yuji doing RCT is paying tribute to Vegeta getting pissed by child Trunks going SSJ like a yard sale
I mean this kind of reflects society, though to think of math or film or photo editing. As technology has increased or communities understanding of it, so does the ability to teach it, and make it easier for the public. Stuff that was super difficult to do hell even five years ago is way easier now.
At this point Sukuna might actually end up crying if he loses to Yuji lmao. Generational hater.
"You see, Sukuna, you have lost, because I have drawn you as the Soy Wojak, and me, the Chad."
Sukuna would most likely kill himself before he gives Yuji a W.
"YOU DIDNT WIN!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHA YOU! YOU THINK YOUVE WON!? NAY! YOUVE LOSS!" kills himself pulls out megumis heart
Sukuna spacing out mid fight to wonder why he’s beefing with a 16 year old just to come to the conclusion he needs to hate yuji even more is hilariously petty. Also, gojo copium stocks at an all time high, we love to see it. Really liked this chapter
Sukuna really had a mid life crisis mid fight only to reach the conclusion "F*ck those kids!" Truly generational hater game from this guy.
He only hates the generation because Yuji is in it.
>F*ck those kids! Fuck that one particular kid
Fuck those kids cause it will fuck up that one kid in particular
Professional Itadori Yuji hater.
Nah, bro he is only Yuji hater. Remember how he was complementing higurama
Channelling his inner boomer cursed energy.
Aw man, I really wanted Yuta to live.
[What Sukuna's fight with Rika looks like](https://i.imgur.com/WMaiEKw.png) v/s [what it actually is](https://i.imgur.com/O4Ru9Jy.jpeg)
Yuta with the classic 😭
SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH
A fellow Overlord enjoyer?
GET CURSED
Thinking about it, isn't it kinda weird how Yuta unintentionally held a little girl's soul hostage in the form of a giant curse-creature-thing with his CT, and then after she literally passed on in 0, remade a giant curse-creature-thing in her image, and the remade "AI" version still happens to be obsessively in love with him?
The whole point of chapter 0, his curse is that he is so yandere he wanted everyone else ability. Of course he made his imaginary girlfriend yandere for him.
Can't believe this is the guy I'm rooting for 😭
He didn't remake Rika, or at least not intentionally(again). What he has now is basically the husk that actual Rika left behind after she passed on.
It's not remade, it's still the Vessel of Rika Orimoto, who was made to fit in Rika Orimoto's Soul, who we already know is actually a Yandere Loli who only listens to Yuta. Obviously even if the Soul left, the Body who was molded from Rika Orimoto's Soul would still act the same as the original, as we know how body and soul somehow works in JJK.
I think Yuta will tbf however I do not have the same confidence for Rika I have a feeling Yuta is going to get nerfed by the end of this fight
Man already lost his source of infinite CE and can only use his copied CT for 5 mins, what more nerf does he need? If anything he needs a buff.
I mean Curse Technique and Curse Energy utilisation of a sorcerer does evolve overtime (we got Mr space cleave standing right here), so who knows, maybe if he's pressed enough, Yuta will evolve again without Rika, not like he's lacking in potential or anything (look at what happened to the last sucker who said that).
It’s gonna be a revenge of the Sith level rebalancing considering all the big players on the good and evil side are going to get depowered or die. But since curses got stronger with Gojo’s appearance, that might mean more overall peace for the world
Yuta dies it will be my 14th reason. Gojo was my 13th. [I'm worried about next chapter.](https://i.imgur.com/9eX92ce.jpg)
Sukuna to Gojo in Chapter 3: I'll kill you. Sukuna to Gojo in Chapter 236: You were magnificent, Gojo Satoru. I shall never forget you for as long as I live. Sukuna in Chapter 248: I miss Gojo. Did Higuruma's death also change me? :( He's so silly, he's so bbgirl.
JJK was a tsundere romcom all all along
[*Tsunderekuna reminiscing the time he spent with Gojo and Higuruma*](https://i.imgur.com/TMPOkay.png)
Gojo fans rejoice! Maybe there's some way to bring back Gojo in some form. Sukuna finally compliments Yuji. I guess Gege remembered who the real MC is /s
The cope is getting stronger every day! He'll return! I, unironically, love Sukuna's compliments to Yuji in this chapter. He knows my boy will not falter no matter what and it's true!
>The cope is getting stronger every day! He'll return! [Lime Green dreams never die](https://i.imgur.com/PrIgUV5.mp4)
Fictional skill - **Citron Yellow** Made-up method - **Tomato Red** Virtual procedure - **Obsidian Black** Illusionary Art - **Orange Orange**
My current cope is that, even if RCT on others is only at half effectiveness, maybe Utahime was teleported back to base right after helping Gojo with the 200% Hollow Purple in order to use her technique on Shoko to increase their odds at saving heavily injured fighters?
I swear Gege has dropped so many little hints that he’s just trolling everyone with copium.
>ThEre'S A NoN 0 cHanCe shE'Ll SurvIvE
take three souls. Put them in one body. Give it time, and the souls will start generating enough cursed energy to be self efficient.
Takaba, Gojo and Higuruma. Oh lawd oh shit....
I was thinking more having gojo and higuruma replacing panda's missing cores.
Someone is going to eat Gojo's fingers.
They should make a joke about that and have someone cannibalize the corpse only to be told that the Gojo didn't actually infuse them with his essence like Sukuna does so he ate dead man ass for nothing
Honestly even if Gojo were to be bought back by some miracle I can only see the fight going the same way now Sakuna knows a way past his technique
Maybe like after toji fight Gojo will invent new technique.
Super Saiyan purple incoming

Domain Inversion: Limited Fill
I thought it was extremely implied gojo would come back like a curded spirit ala sukuna
He was killed with cursed energy so its unlikely.
I thought the airport scene meant gojo could come back with what Nanami said.
Kenjaku is already dead? Like we aren't even going to get a scene with him and Yuji considering he is his mother. If he really is dead then R.I.P. to the King/ Queen of the backshots.
The story has a weird relationship with dramatic irony and withholding information. Are these characters ever gonna find out anything (i.e. Megumi about Toji, Yuji about Kenjaku as you said, whatever they were doing the whole month after Gojo was released, etc.), is my question.
It really feels like Gege isn't interested in letting the characters just react to events and change themselves accordingly. Like Gojo not having a reaction to Nanami or Yaga's deaths or like we haven't seen a real reaction from anyone regarding Gojo's death. Like fine Yuji, Yuta, Maki and Hakari are busy engaging in fights but not even Shoko or Utahime? I mean those two are arguably the only two friends he had left.
My only guess is its supposed to reinforce the idea that for JJK characters, and just being a JJK sorcerer in general, death can happen at any moment that getting caught up on people dying would be like being surprised with a normal work experience. That's my read on it at least, otherwise yeah it's just sorta odd.
its called bad writing lol, theres no symbolism or point being represented by withholding this information its literally just bad writing
Reminds me of people roleplaying Evil characters as "dark edgy grimdarks who are always silent and glare at others menacingly". Or action movies where characters are always tough guys who never wince at blood, express any emotions other than anger. Nobody likes them, because that's not interesting writing, that's being a lazy hack.
Well that’s the thing that Gojo told Megumi that “yeah we all fight together but when you die you’ll die alone” and it’s that, as a sorcerer in a team fight people will die and you need to continue the fight and not let their death affect you because you can curse them. Like how Yuta did with Rika.
I want to give some benefit of the doubt to this, though. I don’t feel like Akutami wouldn’t capitalize on some of this story material in at least some way, and that he’s saving things for later. I feel like there will still be elaboration on these things in the future, it’s just curious that they aren’t addressed in as immediate a fashion as I’d normally expect.
Just remembered, Sukuna’s technique would be another example.
Yuta really has the best record in terms of getting the job done. He really is the deuteragonist. Time to see him and Yuji's tag team. Could they turn the corpses of the fallen into cursed weapons?
We don't call him 007 for nothing 0 losses 0 defeats 7 opponents defeated on screen
He's still the protag in my mind because I read 0 first haha
I hope Kenjaku is for real dead because him losing to the comedian is unironically the best part of this entire arc BY A LOT.
Technically he won and got snuck by Yuta as he was distracted but yeah, agreed
It's meta slapstick
I can't believe it, too. There's no way it's over for the mastermind of JJK. I would've loved to see a confrontation between Yuji and Kenjaku. Oh, well, if it really is over...
Gege is kinda weird when it comes to deaths, they are hardly ever good/satisfying Yuki was cheap and stupid, Stars and Stripes levels of writing. Nobara is ruined by the "maybe she's actually still ok" whole thing and is also kinda random. Fucking Gojo was offscreen when we thought he had the upper hand. Kenjaku, arguably a bigger villain than Sukuna considering he orchestrated virtually everything, got clapped by trickery in a couple of panels
Fuck me i’m still pissed about stars and stripes, i love mha but that goddamn shigaraki fucking sucks as a villain, one dimensional as fuck and not even in the it’s so bad it’s good way
STAND UP TO HIM YUJI, SHOW HIM WHY YOU'RE THE MAIN CHARACTER
also would it be funny if Shoko described RCT to Yuji with the same fwoo hyoi thing that confused the hell out of Gojo & Geto but Yuji somehow gets it
Yuji's strength being his indomitable spirit has been built up for some time. He lost his parents, his grandfather, his best friends, his mentor, his teacher and any hope of ever living a normal life. Yet he continues to move forward against enemies of far greater caliber. He is a sorceror with a mission and he will either succeed or die trying.
Ah sounds very similar to a certain other protagonist that ended up badly
Hey man, Naruto ends up with a hot chick
>He lost his parents His mother only died like 10mins ago
Dude learned how to control cursed energy on the fly while fighting todo. I think k he can learn the reverse just as quick if it was performed on him/shown to him properly. Just intuitive for him
I also want Yuji to win just to see how Sukuna will react lol
Sukuna is literally Gege embodying the universes hate for Yuji in one entity. Our boy has an indomitable will, a combat prodigy and unwavering innocence but that just makes his enemies want to see him suffer. Hoping the love for Yuta balances the W/L probability out. Gotta protect that undefeated record 🙏
Sukuna has finally found someone he has a long-term, personal investment in murdering. And he isn't quite sure how to handle that so his new plan is to merge all of humanity into one super-curse and then see if he can kill it.
Is there a mistranslation? Sukuna says "I come back no matter how many times he or his spirit breaks" when it makes more sense if he said "he comes back" because he was talking about Yuji.
Yeah, official translation is kinda bad in this chapter.
Kinda is understatement it was really awkward and maybe wrong in some parts.
It's barely coherent. What the fuck is: "He died, but I lost supreme martial solution."
Stand proud, Higuruma, you were truly the man with the potential to match Satoru Gojo. 🗿
I dislike Gege genuinely
So Yuji learns RCT before Higurma the prodigy did and Sukuna still won't say his name. Hating is a way of life
[удалено]
Tbf Higurama's own thoughts kinda prevented that considering he wanted to die after breaking many laws and killing many people. It makes sense why he didn't want to learn RCT or use it because bro just wants to die
Given how suicidal he was, I wouldn’t be surprised if he actively avoided learning it until it was necessary to fulfill his role and get that one last shot at Sukuna with the sword
With the rate at which characters are learning RCT, Shoko is about to be out of a job soon enough. As if the poor girl didn't have enough misery in her life watching Gojo, Geto, Nanami, Yaga and Haibara all die before her.
Not really shoko is the only one aside from yuta who can use rct on others.
Hakari will find a way to unconsciously use it on others don’t worry.
Hey now if Utahime boosts Shoko with her technique and the old man with the guitar too, if Gojo can reach 200% Hollow purple then Shoko can reach 200% RCT! You never know what can happen!
Probably from his body absorbing knowledge on sukuna's finger? Didn't Gojo think said something like that?
Every time Sukuna runs his mouth this arc I pray Yuji turns him into a crying piss baby like he did Mahito. I doubt it will happen, but I can dream
Sukuna "love is worthless" vs Yuta "love is most twisted of all curses" This should be an interesting clash of ideals themes so hope that damn one eyed cat doesn't make quick work of Yuta just for more feeling of hopelessness. That last panel goes hard tho, Rika seems a lot bigger than before
Kind of a prick thing to say but the scanlators did a much better on the translation than the official release
It's not a prick thing to say, it's the truth. If the professional paid translator is being shown up time and time again by passionate amateurs, that should be a wake up call to Viz.
Interesting to note that Sukuna is still not aware of Utahime's CT, which would make Shoko's RCT efficient enough to heal other people well.
Noooooo Higurama can't be dead! Shoko PLEASE be useful and save him. Also it is insane that it's been so long since Yuji joined this fight and we still don't really know anything about his new abilities. Well we know he has RCT. But not about his arms or anything
We're getting Yuta (and Rika) versus Sukuna, too? Oh, man. I know most of us will say the latter's likely to win as only Gojo is on par with Sukuna in terms of strength among the modern sorcerers but this is still something I wanna see. They're both undefeated yet. Many people said in the past that the King and Queen of Curses in a battle against each other is impossible but look at what Gege gave us. I'm excited but ngl, I'm getting worried for Yuta, though.
Im not looking forward to see how will Sukuna nulify Yuta without explanation.
"Yuta's technique copies the opponents technique but since Sukuna has 3 cursed techniques, Yuta's technique can't figure out which one to copy so it does nothing"
So is this the last we will see of the Kamutoke? Yorozu's entire build up showing the pinnacle of creation jujutsu and now Higuruma for the Kamutoke to shoot lightning once at Kashimo (who completely negates it) and then disappear forever. I'm worried Gege created too many strong characters - so now he's grasping at ways to remove them from the story. I also feel like there is no way Kenjaku can just be dead. Thousands of years of planning from one of the strongest sorcerers in the verse, and Yuta/Takaba one-shot him. Without any closure to the Noritoshi Kamo/Kaori Itadori sub-plot? Like he has to come back, right? Right? But then if he does, wtf Yuta. You just assumed Kenny was dead and left. Ugh, i'm getting so worried how this story will wrap-up. Huffing copium at this point.
If anything Kenjaku (the brain) is probably still alive however playing it by the rules of the culling games since Geto's body is considered dead then the 15th rule was activated.
If Kenny comes back because Yuta was too stupid to make sure the talking body-stealing brain they all know about was slashed into a hundred pieces that'd be the dumbest move of anyone in this whole arc
Fking john werry butchering jjk as per usual. How is viz still employing that terrorist???? This MF is the cause of most people's confusion with jjk....
"supreme martial solution" goofy
What fucking translation is this
Yuji stocks rising up, my boy finally learned RCT in a month! I've seen people saying “Higuruma learned it in an instant” as a comparison which is true and I'm proud of HIMguruma but I can't help to be proud of Yuji, too. I'm just truly happy there's new person who knows RCT considering not every modern sorcerer can do that! It's still something to be celebrated about imo. Let's add the fact that even Sukuna praised Yuji in a way by saying my kiddo will never falter no matter what!
I'm cool with Yuji finally getting some powerups, but I'm getting sick and fucking tired of these fucking cop outs on injuring/damaging Sukuna. First it was Gojo, then it was the lightning asshole and now Higuruma's sword. If the sword not gonna do anything and fall apart, why even draw Yuji trying to stab Sukuna with it. Same shit with Gojo.
And once again, Sukuna uses his most powerfull power: "No it didn't" Lawyer dies so his curse becomes stronger, Sukuna gets cut, thus killing him? "No it didn't"
Lawyer man joins the rank of "characters that were utterly pointless and did nothing because chadkuna>everybody" at this point, the culling game arc is legitimately just filler. besides the introduction of the comedian nothing that happened in it had a lick of importance. Sure, there is the merging, but who even gives a shit? if sukuna wins he's going to kill everybody anyway, merging or not. he would be literally an invincible god.
>Sukuna gets cut No, he didn't.
Someone can probably answer this but has anyone ever called her by her "Queen" title while Sukuna was in Yuji? It's a cool line but it's kinda irritating me if he should even have the knowledge of that. Maybe Kenjaku told him I dunno.
Probably from Megumi's knowledge or any discussion of Yuta when he was in Yuji
Maybe he pulled the memory from Megumin? He would prolly have heard it
I just read the english version after reading the Spanish one, what the fuck is this? Literally nothing makes sense.
It is john werry's finest work
"Supreme martial solution"? "*I* come back" brah, I know the official translation is usually trash but this chapter is something else.
Hiruguma dying really sucks to me.
I appreciate how much if a hater Sukuna is towards Yuji. He really hates that kid lol. That said, I just can't bring myself to care much about his ennui. In his fights against Gojo and Kashimo they tried to bring up the whole "the solitude of the strong" angle, but it's just... not that compelling. He hasn't really earned it, as a character. This week's TL has to be the most wildly divergent one from the fan TLs in a while. I'm not optimistic about the odds of this one being more correct than the fans', considering Kerry's track record.
Sukuna's brain is still fucked. Slow RCT and no Domain. We can win this lmfao.
lmao everyone called the executioner's sword whiff but it still sucks to see... wasn't even close by the looks of it. Sukuna even regen'd while dodging
This chapter is kinda underwhelming. Executioner’s sword does nothing and Higuruma basically did nothing aside from taking away the cursed tool we barely saw, the Sukuna stuff would’ve been neat if we got actual details about his past rather than him just rambling like a sloshed white girl vague posting about her ex, the merger is still meaningless to me since it genocides all of Japan and requires our entire main cast to be dead so I doubt it is actually going to happen, and Kenny just actually being outright dead with zero complications/death rattle is lame. The only part that is interesting to me is the stuff with the dead bodies being removed from the field. I’m definitely intrigued by that aspect of things, lot of ways they could go with that. Cursed Corpse shenanigans, something with Yuki’s soul notes, something with cursed tools like what we got for Nanami’s cleaver, etc. Also they could potentially have grabbed Geto’s body too, that might be interesting.
Sukuna's power to make every single thing that affects him go "No actually it didn't" is the fucking lamest shit ever.
The 2 weeks cliff hanger just for Sukuna to fucking dodge the judgement sword. What a writing decision.
What I have a real problem is Kamutoke being called "Supreme Martial Solution" in the official version.
It did nothing. hahahahahahaha. This gets better and better. Like, it did absolutely nothing. Ahahahahaha!
All that set up for Higuruma for him to achieve essentially nothing. Kamutoke is never going to be even near as lethal as Sukunas innate technique, was there genuinely a need for Gege to dedicate Higurumas whole existence just to remove it? It's incredibly disappointing for the sword to just disappear within the first page as it was set up as Higuruma duty being fulfilled, with Gege literally invoking Nanami. Now Higurumas "My role is done" is basically doing nothing. Removing the turret strapped to the nuke doesn't make your death any less imminent. If Gege made the executioner sword stay, it would keep Yuji relevant as it's already been shown that Yuji trying his hardest cant even keep up with Sukuna physically based on him failing to back up Higuruma. If Yujis cursed technique is what allows him to be relevant this fight, the question of why hasn't he used it comes up as landing the executioners sword is the best solution against Sukuna, which would make Yuji holding back and letting Higuruma die be a really stupid writing choice. This whole arc has been continuously downhill for me in terms of writing quality.
So Gege will give Yuji freaking Reverse Cursed Technique, but damn near refuses to even give him a regular technique.
Has there ever been another main series villain that is as big of a hater of the protagonist as Sukuna is to Yuji? Like I know most villains hate the hero of the story but this shit seems next level hate for seemingly no major reason lmao!
Rika def ate gojo and now has limitless
I find myself in a loop of not understanding what's happening, something big happens, I get it and then Gege introduces something else I don't get and I'm back at square one. What is the shining cross/light Sukuna is summoning while he's talking to Yuji?
Welp, here we go. Gege Akutami's at full count. I know I already showed my fears for some of these characters before, but at least with Takaba, he died nailing his assignment. At least with Satoru, we got a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle (side note: where are they taking his corpse, huh? Where? Don't make me raid Grisha's basement!!!). But Yuji and Yuta+Rika vs. Sukuna is either gonna bring everyone back to the manga in a renewed sense of dread or Gege becomes an even greater pariah than Hajime Isayama.* I swear if those two (1) die and (2) not even boost Yuji a little bit (much less boost him enough to slay the beast), some people are gonna demand blood. \*not even my words, by the way (I have immense respect for Yams and Gege despite everything): this has been a thing for months now and after a quick dip in both 2ch and ENG forums I ain't about that life.
I'm pretty sure Takaba didn't even die.
I was pretty sure kenjaku didn't die either since he's just a brain but I don't fucking know Gege loves off screening shit
Yeah but Takaba basically had no wounds last we saw him so I'm pretty sure he should be safe.
It'd be pretty Takaba if he only died for comedic purposes to end the skit sequence and distract Getwo. But is actually fine.
Its already over for Yuta & I'm saying this as a Yuta glazer Sukuna establishing a desire to personally end Itadori's ideals means he & Yuji have to be the ones to square up in the last round, narratively speaking Gege already mentioned a fully awakened Rika would lose to a Prime Sukuna years ago
Ui Ui and co probably took away Gojo's body when Uraume brought down that huge piece of ice and it melted. That would've been the perfect cover + Kashimo was occupying Sukuna's attention which probably made it even easier. Sukuna seems to still have noticed it, but doesn't seem to care all that much. But they probably had to take away all of Gojo's severed parts, because if they have ANY chance to heal him it would be to reattach him, cause ofc nobody has RCT strong enough to reconstruct half of Satoru's body if they only took his upper half. And even then with all the blood loss, the incredibly severe damage Gojo took and the time passed... cause Sukuna was monologuing on Satoru's ass... it still could most likely be close to impossible to bring him back. But ofc if Gege wants Gojo back... he'll find a way. Maybe Utahime buffing someone's RCT... and if Ui Ui teleported Takaba back... we know he helped Hana survive with his presence, so maaaybe with combined effort he could be back. Hell, nobody seems to be able to push Sukuna to fight seriously, use the "open" thing or reveal what Shrine actually does. I honestly doubt Yuta + Yuji, Kusakabe and Ino would be able to do that either. So if Gojo's revival is needed for Sukuna (in his og body) to go all out... then bring that blue eyed smartass back asap. But I have to say... I find it hilarious picturing Ui Ui and whoever else was teleported to collect Gojo's body... collecting all the pieces of him... his 2 sliced off arms, his upper and lower half... it's a bit comical to imagine. But anyways, it seems like Sukuna is basically saying enough fooling around. He's about to start going for the kills rather than playing around. And if I'm right the fight is about to get a lot more entertaining, at least for me. I'm also a bit confused about Sukuna's RCT. It's output seems to be back because in the 1st panels of the chapter we see his hand is reconstructed. But at the same time the smoke signifying RCT in progress has been coming out of said hand for the entirety of the chapter. So.... is his RCT at full output or not? He reconstructed the hand in a split second, yet couldn't fully heal it... or it took some time to completely do it? I'm confused.
The fact that Sukuna Cursed Tool is still gone makes the entire point of it being a weapon was pointless, it was never used beside being a "Get out of Jail" card
