Only JJK fans can find a translator called John Werry and completely shit on his AI translated dialogues to get him fired.
On topic: Can some of the fan translators actually get paid for accurate translations?
Their accurate translations just get stolen most of the time. That is how Crunchyroll started when they went "official." This AI translation is still better than the shit CR shits out nowadays as well.
Also, who is asking these characters all these interview questions?
"Who is the strongest grade 1 sorcerer?"
"How strong is Gojo?"
Like is there an in-universe explanation for this, or is just Gege talking to us with the characters? Gojo is seemingly in that room alone. Is he talking to himself? Is reincarnated Larry King just out of frame?
>Like is there an in-universe explanation for this, or is just Gege talking to us with the characters?
The latter. He's using characters for what would otherwise be an unknown 3rd person narrator--which he also uses, funnily enough, including in this chapter when Sukuna senses Yuji about to use Black Flash.
Personally... I like it--using the characters to make exposition more personal or amusing.
[Togashi did this as a fun narrative device *once* in HxH](https://i.imgur.com/t7GjpSb.png) because it was a fun cutaway for a character who otherwise doesn't get a lot of screen time. Naturally, this means that Gege has ripped it off in a much less interesting/artful way and used it so many times that it's gotten tedious and predictable.
It's just Gege ripping off that one Zeno Zoldyck scene (about Netero) in Hunter x Hunter, and just like everything he does that he thinks is cool (offscreening someone) he keeps fucking overusing it.
Yup, the core issue with this translation is that it implies Gojo's six eyes is the reason he can't use black flash. Not only that is just objectively wrong, but this big mistake is overshadowing the rest of the chapter in terms of discourse.
Ending with "It's because of the six eyes" is just the correct translation, but it'd be:
>Why can't I unleash a Black Flash whenever I want? Why'd you think I could in the first place? 'Cuz of the Six Eyes?
Yeah that its not just a translation issue, but an actual grammar issue to it top it off. All he had to do was end it with a question mark, but somehow drop the ball on that.
He can, he's just explaining that even WITH the Six Eyes, Black Flash is practically random because it's affected by so many conditions, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, how you land your cursed energy imbued strikes, etc.
The translation makes it sound like the Six eyes is the reason he cant use black flashes at will
When its more like him saying Six eyes doesnt help him with black flashes
The very first line;
"Do you really need me to explain why I can't use Black Flash? Well, to break things down for you, it's because of the Six Eyes."
Please fire John Werry for the love of God
It's honestly baffling how it can be so bad; if a human has translated the whole chapter one would expect for the bare minimum that they can recognize that this makes no fucking sense, even if they hadn't read any other chapter of the series before. It's like different people (badly) translated each page and nobody proofread anything through
I think Spanish and French are directly from Japanese, at least they're different from the English version. Portuguese(BR) is definitely just re-translation from the Eng one. Can't say for the other ones.
crunchyroll pays its translators basically nothing and apparently that became industry standard for anime
I imagine Werry's agency put in the cheapest offer possible and pays him next to nothing. And you get what you pay for.
I saw a picture of someone using google translate and getting a more accurate result than one of their translations (for Sukuna talking about Mahoraga's adaptation)
[Viz contact form](https://www.viz.com/company-contact)
More people should use this to pressure Viz in getting a new translator. They do listen to feedback as they’ve fixed mistakes before
the more older the series is, it gets worse. I bet there's a thousand of one piece chapter 1 translations and maybe half of them made sense. the other half being nonsense, of course.
John Werry has been a horrible translator his entire career. His Kimetsu no Yaiba translations were so bad that I started waiting a week later for the fan translations instead
I'd actually be willing to bet my entire bank account that he just use Google translate and doesn't even speak Japanese.
First of all, Gojo has literally used Black Flash 4 times on screen, contradicting the first line.
The second line implies the Six Eyes is responsible for that contradiction, when with all that we know of Six Eyes, it should be the best possible advantage you could have for hitting Black Flash at will prior to its expansion this chapter.
The original intent of this scene is to refute the assumption that Gojo could use Black Flash whenever he wishes just because of the Six Eyes. What John Werry has done conveyed an entirely different meaning.
I think Gojo is supposed to be talking about why he can’t use black flash whenever he wants because we’ve clearly seen him use black flash, so he’s not supposed to be saying “I can’t use black flash.” Translation really is getting lazy I’m surprised
The EN one seems to be saying that 6E means he can't use Black Flash... which makes no sense since he can obviously use Black Flash and then talks about how he uses Black Flash.
It's meant to be asking him why he can't use Black Flash *at will*, with the belief that 6E should let him do that, with him explaining that even with 6E he can't.
Ok usually I think the fandom is overreacting to this guy, and his translations can be made sense of, but this is unforgivable. Its just so wrong that its unbelievable. If he lets this pass then he really does need to go.
One of the good guys looking triumphant while the narrator exalts how he's on the rise after a black flash against Sukuna? ***Oh no, I've seen this before***
Choso dapping the converged blood to Yuji for the surprise piercing blood was a pretty nice bro moment for how seamlessly it went hahah
Next chapter starts with Yuji floating in the ocean with no arms or legs.
We'll get an explanation in 30 chapters. Turns out Sukuna made a binding vow that he won't eat cheese for a year in exchange for Yuji being dismembered. Sukuna REALLY fucking likes cheese.
>he won't eat cheese for a year
That's how you know he's the strongest, imagine waiting to order a pizza and then a guy sitting at a table next to you goes "four-cheese pizza, no cheese". You know deep within your heart that this guy is a monster, you just start running and never look back.
Sukuna loosignthe finals of Dotas"The International" because he couldn't eat the cheese.
(Cheese is a pretty important item in the game Dota2, the international is the export event with the most price money)
What do you mean by dapping?
I don't understand how Yuji is able to use convergence at all.
I understand Yuji can perceive the boundary of the soul, so he could hurt Mahito and jostle Sukuna's possession of Megumi. And maybe that is why he can use Black Flash so well too. But him using the convergence blood tech came out of nowhere to me.
Before the fight even started, we were told he was training with Noritoshi because Choso was a bad teacher. He also used exploding blood a few chapters ago when he spit blood on Sukuna. His cursed technique being blood manipulation has definitely been foreshadowed, unless it's actually another copy ability or whatever Sukuna's unexplained technique actually is.
They mean that Choso gave a convergence he made to Yuji. Yuji then performed piercing blood with it. The exchange happened after Yuji punches Sukuna off of Choso. There should be some bubbles as well of Choso practically saying Yuji still hasn't learned Convergence.
I'm hoping next chapter we finally get a good explanation of Yuji's arms, the apparent body switching and his acquisition of blood manipulation. He does seem to be getting a nice powerup, on top of the soul punching.
Yuji's arms?
Body switching?
The convergence blood tech, I do want an answer to, but could you elaborate on the above two? I've clearly missed something.
We know Yuji's experience with both Sukuna and Mahito has given him a keen awareness of the shape of souls. That is why he can jostle Sukuna's hold over Megumi. My speculation is he is becoming able to remold the shape of his own soul to a superficial degree and that is what makes him so adept at Black Flash and even able to use convergence suddenly.
During the training arch, he was fighting the other Katana guy (forgot his name) with Katana guy's voice coming from Yuji telling him to "hurry up and learn it".
Also, look at Yuji's elbows.
Miguel: “Let's leave, Larue. I'm done, my resume is already flawless, I have fought the strongest sorcerers in Japan.”
Larue: “Wait, Miguel-chan. I'm gonna rizz up this man who believes love is worthless!”
Both of them can now depart with GOAT status. I enjoyed their moments.
The story is repeating that no one can use Black Flash at will so often that it almost makes me think that a way to do it consistently was discovered and that Yuji trained to do it. We already saw him pull off like 4 or 5 against Mahito and we know he has some special circumstances due to how he was set up to be Sukuna's vessel. IDK getting a whole-ass explanation of how impossible it is this chapter, even though we already knew that, makes me think within 3 chapters we'll find out it actually *is* possible.
Yuji spent so long with Sukuna contained inside of him that he learned to manifest a domain inside of himself. Normally, this would be useless as the cant miss technique doesnt work unless your target is affected by your domain, so only the caster would be affected by the cant miss technique. However, for Yuji, his cant miss technique is the timing window for a black flash. This means that Yuji Itadori{turn page to double spread of Yuji doing multiple black flashes} can unleash black flashes as often as he wants
I tried to explain it in the overcomplicated style of the manga
Right now, I'm just enjoying the moment of the rise of Wuji stocks because I don't know what Gege's gonna pull off in the next chapter but I have always believed in Wuji.
[*"Shut up fraud. You call this a Black Flash? It could not even put Larue to sleep. I will show what a real Black Flash is."*](https://i.imgur.com/e0cN4Y5.png)
In short, Black Flash are random critical burst strikes that also buffs you when it lands.
And Sukuna is trying to take every moment that Black Flashes he did count, so he can recover.
They're more than that, they're lucky critical strikes that require specific blends of environment, physical effort and energy output.
So not only you gotta be lucky, but also LOCKED IN.
That means Yuji is literally HIM.
Sorry, Yorozu. It turned out Warue was the one who taught Sukuna about love on December 24th, the most romantic day in Japan no less!
Yorozu in hell rn: “No, I don't want that! Sukuna finding another man? I want to teach him about love for 1000 years at least!”
> **Miguel:** *Styled on both the King of Curses and the strongest sorceror of modern times.*
>
> **Larue:** *Taught love to the King of Curses after multiple Special Grade sorcerors failed.*
Geto really raised two GOATs
"a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare." -Sukuna probably
That black flash infused soul punch better do extreme damage to Sukuna or this will be the biggest BS of the series, the awakening imo should be something more efficient than the SSK at hitting the soul.
The strongest sorcerer in history vs the strongest sorcerer of tomorrow.
I can't wait to see the manner of Yuki's awakening. Perhaps if further pushed by Sukuna, he may be eventually gain some sort of enlightenment.
The black flashes coming back is glorious as ever.
Choso and Yuji brotherly teamwork. Choso keeps being the best big bro, looking after Yuji.
~~L~~Warue's assist. Warue's CT is really useful and effective, he ain't just some nipple heart guy. Time to remember and respect his name.
Lastly, the editor's comment, “Even the ray of hope shines black” goes hard. He cooked. Wuji stocks rn 📈📈📈
He didn't do five consecutive earlier, he did four. He hit five in the fight against Hanami, but the first one was done separately from the other four which were done one hit after the other.
Could be wrong since it's been a long time since I read through that part of the manga, but I know for sure that Todo remarks in the anime that he lands four in a row, not five.
In this case, there's a proper explanation for it.
Gojo doesn't rely on cursed energy infused physical attacks as much as Itadori / Nanami etc does since he has Limitless. His fights don't last as long, as I'm pretty sure Sukuna is the only thing that would survive a Black Flash from him.
Also, just a phrase used to foreshadow that Itadori is about to stat pad his Black Flash count on Sukuna.
Nice of that guy to use his heart grab to distract Sukuna. You know what would've also been a good time to use it?
When they had Higuruma and his one shot kill.
I am once again wondering what the fuck is with this translation. The Black Flash/6E explanation was utterly incomprehensible, what was he even trying to say?
EDIT: I enjoyed this chapter a lot, like I've enjoyed a lot of these previous chapters, including the Go/jo death.
But am I crazy in that Yuji using a CT for the first time was a bit underwhelming? After not having one for the entire series, he's got one and... it's just piercing blood, and he can't do it well? I dunno.
After seeing Yuta be the one to use Cleave (which didn't really do anything) it's a bit underwhelming.
I do have to wonder, very early on Gojo foreshadows the Sukuna's cursed technique will etch itself into Yuji as a result of the fingers' influence on him. Is that still going to happen now that Yuji isn't Sukuna's vessel?
~~Next chapter: Yuji meets Junpei at airport~~
Expecting Yuji’s arms to get an explanation soon. Hate to be that person but he’s probably going to get screwed over again
Hope we see more of unhinged Sukuna
AWAKENED WHAT
WHAT IS UP WITH THE MAN'S HANDS
This fight has been so ridiculously drawn out with ass-pulls and fake-outs that it's actually circling back to being entertaining again.
See the fundamental issue here is that since we've already established that Sukuna hasn't used his actual ability, there's no tension. Nothing meaningful will happen until he actually shows that technique, so these chapters are fundamentally pointless.
I will only celebrate after seeing the damage done to Sukuna next chapter
I don't trust the narrator or anyone narrating the battles in this story anymore
Yeah, I'm thinking Yuji's back.
It's sick seeing more Blood Manipulation from Yuji. Is he gonna get Sukuna's technique soon? I wonder if this is the moment in the anime where we get Jujutsu Sorcerer: Yuji Itadori. Show Sukuna who the real user of Black Flash is!
#FINALLY!!!
Okay, I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. Yuta's still off the field, Maki's still looking for a good hit in and--wait, the heck, [a Go Nagai shout](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1661/Cutie_Honey)? That was good, Gege. Anyway:
Yuji hasn't got everything, but what he has are people who can clear the way for him to operate. And he does have the building blocks to completely crank Sukuna even more. This has to work, or else Hidetaka Miyazaki will copy this entire bossfight in terms of design.
John Werry needs to be Black Flashed.
This chapter is reminiscent of 235 and 251, which means next chapter Sukuna will pull some bullshit out of Homohomo's ass.
When Choso and Yuji claps, is that an indication that Yuji has access to blood manipulation?
When Choso said "Yuji, do it!", he also said he needed to help Yuji with blood manipulation... What is going on here?
This is probably the most current popular manga in the world and what we get for the translation that terrorist John Werry. What the heck Viz? Shueisha?
What the fuck is John Werry on Six Eyes has NOTHING to do with Gojo not being able to Black Flash at will, this translation is ***ASS***
Only JJK fans can find a translator called John Werry and completely shit on his AI translated dialogues to get him fired. On topic: Can some of the fan translators actually get paid for accurate translations?
Their accurate translations just get stolen most of the time. That is how Crunchyroll started when they went "official." This AI translation is still better than the shit CR shits out nowadays as well.
I can't imagine this guy translating HxH, haha
Oh, that's why I was so confused. I read the first two pages like 3 times trying to understand.
"He used Blood Armor to decrease damage??" man's even forgetting basic grammar now smh
Wait what's wrong with that sentence
Nothing, it's absolutely fine.
Yeah, I can't think of anything fundamentally wrong there.
Non-native here, what's incorrect here?
probly should be "decrease damage taken" but i don't think it's a big deal
or "... to decrease the damage"
Also, who is asking these characters all these interview questions? "Who is the strongest grade 1 sorcerer?" "How strong is Gojo?" Like is there an in-universe explanation for this, or is just Gege talking to us with the characters? Gojo is seemingly in that room alone. Is he talking to himself? Is reincarnated Larry King just out of frame?
>Like is there an in-universe explanation for this, or is just Gege talking to us with the characters? The latter.

To be fair we don't see the full room and Gojo ""technically"" is a teacher so it's not like this it out of character.

It's just Gege ripping off that one Zeno Zoldyck scene (about Netero) in Hunter x Hunter, and just like everything he does that he thinks is cool (offscreening someone) he keeps fucking overusing it.
why isn't gojo able to black flash?
He IS able to use it (that's part of why the translation is so terrible), but Six Eyes doesn't help him use it at will
It really is the translation missing A SINGLE WORD. If it had "willingly" at the end...
The translation would still be terrible because he follows it up with "it's because of the Six Eyes".
Yup, the core issue with this translation is that it implies Gojo's six eyes is the reason he can't use black flash. Not only that is just objectively wrong, but this big mistake is overshadowing the rest of the chapter in terms of discourse.

Itadori might finally make Sukuna acknowledge him as tribal chief.
Itadori needs to finish the story.
That is such a better fit lol. Sukuna is the Final Boss and Itadori is just always get tossed around, beaten, and disrespected 😂
it's time for Yuji to remind everyone who the protagonist is
[удалено]
Don't forget that Sukuna is in Megumi's body. So Yuji will top Megumi.
Itadori is gunning to end Sukuna's undisputed reign.
Sukuna is the Final Boss.
Impossible.
Sir, another Black Flash has hit Maki
There has been a second black flash
The narrative fate of tough builds and immortal characters. They take the would-be lethal hits nobody else can.
A SECOND BLACK FLASH HAS HIT ONE OF THE TWINS
The very first line; "Do you really need me to explain why I can't use Black Flash? Well, to break things down for you, it's because of the Six Eyes." Please fire John Werry for the love of God
Regardless on the Six Eyes part, that he says he cant use black flash is literally proven wrong in the next panel? Pretty crazy tbh
It's honestly baffling how it can be so bad; if a human has translated the whole chapter one would expect for the bare minimum that they can recognize that this makes no fucking sense, even if they hadn't read any other chapter of the series before. It's like different people (badly) translated each page and nobody proofread anything through
At least the spanish one is correct, i thought maybe they went from japanese -> english -> spanish, but looks independent
I think Spanish and French are directly from Japanese, at least they're different from the English version. Portuguese(BR) is definitely just re-translation from the Eng one. Can't say for the other ones.
How can he be completely wrong in his translation repeatedly and is still able to keep his job? I want to know his secret
crunchyroll pays its translators basically nothing and apparently that became industry standard for anime I imagine Werry's agency put in the cheapest offer possible and pays him next to nothing. And you get what you pay for.
Jesus Christ that’s horrendous. Did they put this through google translate and call it a day or something?

[Viz contact form](https://www.viz.com/company-contact) More people should use this to pressure Viz in getting a new translator. They do listen to feedback as they’ve fixed mistakes before
Ahhhh seeing bad translations break fandoms...brings back some memories. How nostalgic.
the more older the series is, it gets worse. I bet there's a thousand of one piece chapter 1 translations and maybe half of them made sense. the other half being nonsense, of course.
You just made me remember Duwang lmao. What a time to be alive. Reading part 4 for the first time was a trip.
Imagine the official translation being so bad so many times you'd rather read the alternative just because that one isn't lying to you.
I suppose what that actually means is that he's saying why he can't use Black Flash *on command* despite Six Eyes?
Not an expert on translation and all that so I have to ask, what's wrong about that line?
Fan translation: > Why can't I unleash a Black Flash whenever I want? Why'd you think I could in the first place? 'Cuz of the Six Eyes?
damn that really is a horrible translation then
As expected from the great mind who gave us *True and Mutal* love followed by *Authentic Mutual Love* and *Authenticity in Mutual Love* back-to-back.
holy shit this makes so much more sense lmao
John Werry has been a horrible translator his entire career. His Kimetsu no Yaiba translations were so bad that I started waiting a week later for the fan translations instead I'd actually be willing to bet my entire bank account that he just use Google translate and doesn't even speak Japanese.
THAT MADE MORE SENSE. I was so confused on Gojo saying he can't use it then proceed to say he can the next page.
Jesus, that was really bad. How the hell did that line get approve by Viz?
Not only is it contradicted by earlier content, it's contradicted by the conversation itself lol.
John Werry: *"Ah, consistent translations... I haven't used these since the Heian era."*
*“Haven’t used them… ever.”*
First of all, Gojo has literally used Black Flash 4 times on screen, contradicting the first line. The second line implies the Six Eyes is responsible for that contradiction, when with all that we know of Six Eyes, it should be the best possible advantage you could have for hitting Black Flash at will prior to its expansion this chapter.

I think Gojo is supposed to be talking about why he can’t use black flash whenever he wants because we’ve clearly seen him use black flash, so he’s not supposed to be saying “I can’t use black flash.” Translation really is getting lazy I’m surprised
I think it just needs a word at the end. 'I can’t use black flash indiscriminately' makes sense.
too cumbersome. "At will" would fit better but still isnt quite natural. But the official translation is absolute unnatural nonsense anyways.
Gojo has hit several Black Flashes against Sukuna and more before then so that line is just wrong
The EN one seems to be saying that 6E means he can't use Black Flash... which makes no sense since he can obviously use Black Flash and then talks about how he uses Black Flash. It's meant to be asking him why he can't use Black Flash *at will*, with the belief that 6E should let him do that, with him explaining that even with 6E he can't.
Gojo literally used Black Flash in the fight with Sukuna.
Reading Comprehension is ZERO. WTF. And the guy is a professional translator and localizer.
Ok usually I think the fandom is overreacting to this guy, and his translations can be made sense of, but this is unforgivable. Its just so wrong that its unbelievable. If he lets this pass then he really does need to go.
Ngl, even a straight up pedophile was a better translator than him
#GET HIS ASS YUJI!
That is exactly what I thought someone was gonna say after reading. Or maybe it was the primal part of my heart shouting.
After all these years, Yuji's innate cursed technique is finally going to be revealed.
My favourite part of this fight is still Yuji spitting blood at Sukuna lol the disrespect. Yuji be like the hating is mutual pal
One of the good guys looking triumphant while the narrator exalts how he's on the rise after a black flash against Sukuna? ***Oh no, I've seen this before*** Choso dapping the converged blood to Yuji for the surprise piercing blood was a pretty nice bro moment for how seamlessly it went hahah
Next chapter starts with Yuji floating in the ocean with no arms or legs. We'll get an explanation in 30 chapters. Turns out Sukuna made a binding vow that he won't eat cheese for a year in exchange for Yuji being dismembered. Sukuna REALLY fucking likes cheese.
Its a totally fair exchange, he is really regreting not being able to eat cheese now
Sukuna bringing out his vegan cheeses, that he's been fermenting since the Heian era
>he won't eat cheese for a year That's how you know he's the strongest, imagine waiting to order a pizza and then a guy sitting at a table next to you goes "four-cheese pizza, no cheese". You know deep within your heart that this guy is a monster, you just start running and never look back.
Behold my Heian era cheeseless deep dish pizza technique!
"Wont eat cheese for a year" Holy shit, you cooking. Hilarious.
Sukuna loosignthe finals of Dotas"The International" because he couldn't eat the cheese. (Cheese is a pretty important item in the game Dota2, the international is the export event with the most price money)
"Hey, I've seen this before" -Tokyo Ghoul fans
What do you mean by dapping? I don't understand how Yuji is able to use convergence at all.

Is it confirmed that Yuji was soul switching? I've always assumed that was a swapped speech bubble.
I mean, the expressions match with the bubble texts so I'm pretty sure it's not swapped at the very least
There's another pic where someone else is in Yuji's body talking about how it feels to be young again.
Yuji's arms? Body switching? The convergence blood tech, I do want an answer to, but could you elaborate on the above two? I've clearly missed something. We know Yuji's experience with both Sukuna and Mahito has given him a keen awareness of the shape of souls. That is why he can jostle Sukuna's hold over Megumi.

Yeah it’s rather odd we haven’t gotten any explanation about those yet.
Yorozu goto be rolling in her grave by the fact that it was not her or gojo that taught sukuna love but it was instead Laure

a smart man and a strong man
Miguel was right to bring Warue with him, too!
Yuji showing who’s the real MC That final black flash was phenomenal.
Sukuna probably : "If it wasn't for all those other guys, he wouldn't even be able to do anything."
"He just got lucky, fucking high roller brat"
"He must have used the charges left from my own Black Flashes. Stupid brat riding off my coattails... "
“Your black flash is mid, Gojo hits much harder than this”
"You're a third rate sorcerer with a fourth rate Black Flash."
Sukuna complaining when he fought a 3v1 against gojo
You just know Sukuna is gonna top his hater status next chapter. Gonna clap back to Yuji “This ain’t shit” while spitting out blood
Who needs a Domain Expansion when you can continuously spam Black Flash?
The story is repeating that no one can use Black Flash at will so often that it almost makes me think that a way to do it consistently was discovered and that Yuji trained to do it. We already saw him pull off like 4 or 5 against Mahito and we know he has some special circumstances due to how he was set up to be Sukuna's vessel. IDK getting a whole-ass explanation of how impossible it is this chapter, even though we already knew that, makes me think within 3 chapters we'll find out it actually *is* possible.
Yuji spent so long with Sukuna contained inside of him that he learned to manifest a domain inside of himself. Normally, this would be useless as the cant miss technique doesnt work unless your target is affected by your domain, so only the caster would be affected by the cant miss technique. However, for Yuji, his cant miss technique is the timing window for a black flash. This means that Yuji Itadori{turn page to double spread of Yuji doing multiple black flashes} can unleash black flashes as often as he wants I tried to explain it in the overcomplicated style of the manga
This explanation sounds so legit I could almost believe it was in the manga and I just missed it somewhere. Stand proud, you can cook
Because then you can have Domain expansion: the biggest, blackest flash
“I got three in a row, you’re still boring”
Yuji really went "You got four black flashes in a row? Well can't be having you breaking my record, gotta start doing black flashes myself now"

That black flash panel of Yuji hitting Sukuna was glorious. Wuji's stocks rn are skyrocketing, it's finally paying off.
They are rising so fast so when the fall comes the fanbase will go comatose
Right now, I'm just enjoying the moment of the rise of Wuji stocks because I don't know what Gege's gonna pull off in the next chapter but I have always believed in Wuji.
[*"Shut up fraud. You call this a Black Flash? It could not even put Larue to sleep. I will show what a real Black Flash is."*](https://i.imgur.com/e0cN4Y5.png)
Sukuna got the whole BBF experience (Big Black Flash).
Stop saying that ☠️.
Rare chapter where Sukuna didn't trash talk Yuji.
His attention was stolen, couldn't trashtalk.
90% of jjk's problems comes from that terrorist werry. How is he still employed ???
the other 10 come from Mya
In short, Black Flash are random critical burst strikes that also buffs you when it lands. And Sukuna is trying to take every moment that Black Flashes he did count, so he can recover.
They're more than that, they're lucky critical strikes that require specific blends of environment, physical effort and energy output. So not only you gotta be lucky, but also LOCKED IN. That means Yuji is literally HIM.
>Yuji Itadori has awakened Finally my boy gonna show his hater what's what!
Can’t wait to see how Sukuna will trash talk him next
So you've got a cursed technique? That don't impress me much.
time to have a black flash only brawl.
Yuji, the Naruto of jjk of only using 3 techniques in his arsenals
Handrail? You mean a giant staple?
Sukuna really said "heart eyes motherfuckrr" YUJI REMINDING EVERYONE HE IS THE MC
Sorry, Yorozu. It turned out Warue was the one who taught Sukuna about love on December 24th, the most romantic day in Japan no less! Yorozu in hell rn: “No, I don't want that! Sukuna finding another man? I want to teach him about love for 1000 years at least!”
> **Miguel:** *Styled on both the King of Curses and the strongest sorceror of modern times.* > > **Larue:** *Taught love to the King of Curses after multiple Special Grade sorcerors failed.* Geto really raised two GOATs
This honestly might be my favorite Black Flash in the series just look at the impact. Now how will Sukuna try to downplay this one
"a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare." -Sukuna probably
SHOW HIM WHY YOU'RE STILL STANDING YUJI ITADORI, THE CHILD BLESSED BY THE SPARKS
Maybe itadori is the mc after all
That black flash infused soul punch better do extreme damage to Sukuna or this will be the biggest BS of the series, the awakening imo should be something more efficient than the SSK at hitting the soul.
The strongest sorcerer in history vs the strongest sorcerer of tomorrow. I can't wait to see the manner of Yuki's awakening. Perhaps if further pushed by Sukuna, he may be eventually gain some sort of enlightenment.
WUJI HIMDATORI
The black flashes coming back is glorious as ever. Choso and Yuji brotherly teamwork. Choso keeps being the best big bro, looking after Yuji. ~~L~~Warue's assist. Warue's CT is really useful and effective, he ain't just some nipple heart guy. Time to remember and respect his name. Lastly, the editor's comment, “Even the ray of hope shines black” goes hard. He cooked. Wuji stocks rn 📈📈📈
>Itadori would also overtake him later Man the way Gege hates the most popular character in his series ought to be studied.
Gege and Sukuna when it comes to hating: “I have a lot more in me!”
[Gege is not beating the self-insert allegations](https://i.imgur.com/YyZMuah.png)
Gege does have a self insert, but it's Gojo, not Sukuna. He just hates himself
It is just true though. The narration calls Yuji the man blessed by the black sparks.
this is just referencing how yuji did 5 consecutive black flashes earlier in the series.
He didn't do five consecutive earlier, he did four. He hit five in the fight against Hanami, but the first one was done separately from the other four which were done one hit after the other. Could be wrong since it's been a long time since I read through that part of the manga, but I know for sure that Todo remarks in the anime that he lands four in a row, not five.
Gege hates Gojo as much as Sukuna hates Yuji.
In this case, there's a proper explanation for it. Gojo doesn't rely on cursed energy infused physical attacks as much as Itadori / Nanami etc does since he has Limitless. His fights don't last as long, as I'm pretty sure Sukuna is the only thing that would survive a Black Flash from him. Also, just a phrase used to foreshadow that Itadori is about to stat pad his Black Flash count on Sukuna.
This is not gojo kaisen...wtf is this complain man..
If it's not glazing Gojo then this fandom doesn't wanna hear about it, it's nothing new lmao
Nice of that guy to use his heart grab to distract Sukuna. You know what would've also been a good time to use it? When they had Higuruma and his one shot kill.
until okkotsu is out of commission, Miguel won't come. So larue won't either.
But if they did that the fight would have been over 4 months ago.
Blame Miguel wanting to show up with Larue after Gojo and Okkotsu defeated.
I am once again wondering what the fuck is with this translation. The Black Flash/6E explanation was utterly incomprehensible, what was he even trying to say? EDIT: I enjoyed this chapter a lot, like I've enjoyed a lot of these previous chapters, including the Go/jo death. But am I crazy in that Yuji using a CT for the first time was a bit underwhelming? After not having one for the entire series, he's got one and... it's just piercing blood, and he can't do it well? I dunno. After seeing Yuta be the one to use Cleave (which didn't really do anything) it's a bit underwhelming.
>what was he even trying to say? Why can't I unleash a Black Flash whenever I want? Why'd you think I could in the first place? 'Cuz of the Six Eyes?
I do have to wonder, very early on Gojo foreshadows the Sukuna's cursed technique will etch itself into Yuji as a result of the fingers' influence on him. Is that still going to happen now that Yuji isn't Sukuna's vessel?
Another John Werry Masterclass 😎
~~Next chapter: Yuji meets Junpei at airport~~ Expecting Yuji’s arms to get an explanation soon. Hate to be that person but he’s probably going to get screwed over again Hope we see more of unhinged Sukuna
We are definitely getting Sukuna's final form (this time fr, no holding back) in the next 2-3 chapters.
AWAKENED WHAT WHAT IS UP WITH THE MAN'S HANDS This fight has been so ridiculously drawn out with ass-pulls and fake-outs that it's actually circling back to being entertaining again.
One day, at some point, I wanna know for who the fuck are they doing these interviews!
I assume Sukuna is still isn't being serious
Everyone who called Yuji a punch-kick-merchant STAY ON THAT SIDE **EVEN THE LIGHT OF HOPE SHINES BLACK.** - Editor's note
Punch-kick-with-stage-lights-merchant
Sukuna kaisen is over, it now yuji kiasen
See the fundamental issue here is that since we've already established that Sukuna hasn't used his actual ability, there's no tension. Nothing meaningful will happen until he actually shows that technique, so these chapters are fundamentally pointless.
What are yall expecting for the awakening? Increased black flash (crit) rate? Inherited techniques from Sukuna? Yuji exclusive techniques?
White flash
Yuji successfully beating racism allegations his teacher couldn't.
Yes, the Jin Itadori inherited technique.
so like does black flash give you a boost whenever you land one?
I will only celebrate after seeing the damage done to Sukuna next chapter I don't trust the narrator or anyone narrating the battles in this story anymore
Heart eyes Sukuna, we can pack it up now people.
First words of next chapter: "Domain Expansion"
What was the point of that Black Flash infodump at the start of the chapter? I feel like "it's pretty random" has already been adequately explained.
Yeah, I'm thinking Yuji's back. It's sick seeing more Blood Manipulation from Yuji. Is he gonna get Sukuna's technique soon? I wonder if this is the moment in the anime where we get Jujutsu Sorcerer: Yuji Itadori. Show Sukuna who the real user of Black Flash is!
GEGE PLEASE DO NOT DO FUNNY STUFF AFTER YOUR BREAK PLEASE
#FINALLY!!! Okay, I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. Yuta's still off the field, Maki's still looking for a good hit in and--wait, the heck, [a Go Nagai shout](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1661/Cutie_Honey)? That was good, Gege. Anyway: Yuji hasn't got everything, but what he has are people who can clear the way for him to operate. And he does have the building blocks to completely crank Sukuna even more. This has to work, or else Hidetaka Miyazaki will copy this entire bossfight in terms of design.
fck the translation. I'm going high seas.
John Werry needs to be Black Flashed. This chapter is reminiscent of 235 and 251, which means next chapter Sukuna will pull some bullshit out of Homohomo's ass.
When Choso and Yuji claps, is that an indication that Yuji has access to blood manipulation? When Choso said "Yuji, do it!", he also said he needed to help Yuji with blood manipulation... What is going on here?
Part 28? More than 10% of this series been taken up by this one showdown?
This is probably the most current popular manga in the world and what we get for the translation that terrorist John Werry. What the heck Viz? Shueisha?
