Why didn't Yuki get any blame for what happened? She's the one who poisoned Geto's mind. If she never talked to him he'd at best probably just brood and eventually kill himself
>>287176476Not her fucking problem
She can't even claim she didn't know, the guy looked like he was 2 bad days away from becoming a school shooterAnd then she has the audacity to blame Tengen
That's why it's poetic justice Kenny killed her.
>>287176476Would she lived had she not listened to Tengan betrayal and expanded her domain?
>>287176476did it not even alert her that something was up when geto casually suggested killing all non-sorcerers?
>>287177650She already thought of it before. Yuki is an academic, its not weird to say hypotheticals like that out loud.
>>287176476>Why didn't Yuki get any blame for what happened?Kenjaku basically killed her, with Geto's technique no less. That's her karma for what happened between her and Geto. She even addresses Kenjaku like he's Geto. People keep ignoring the fact that Geto's character threads get carried over to Kenjaku.
I love Chainsaw Man.
>>287177892Makima... you don't exist anymore.
>>287176476She's hot, that's the reason.
>>287176476Women are never held accountable for anything
>>287176476Did anybody else even know about their meeting and what Yuki said to him?>>287177445Depends on how you think Yuki's domain competes with Kenjaku's.Or if you think a Yuki with less damage but no cursed technique would have fared better against Kenjaku than the Yuki who was injured but still had her cursed technique available.
I love Maki!
>>287176476She's busy grooming young boys
>>287176476Because she's not responsible for a retard misinterpreting what she is saying.And I don't think she was the one that pushed Geto anyways. "Kill the inferior" is an easy idea to come by, specially when the inferior gets uppity
>>287179866>misinterpreted She literally said "haha well what you could do is kill all non sorcerers haha"
>>287180300And I suppose Geto doesn't have any agency to say >lady don't be retarded
>>287177650Yuki's a psycho herself. Her response was>that IS an option
Each day truly is a gift when you're a YutaGOD
>>287176476I thought he seemed morally grey at first during this conversation, I wonder if Gege decided to change her
>>287180694*she
>>287179822I wish heiankuna had Yujikuna personality and did this
The strongest
Earth corrupted cross...

>>287181131If not for Dhruv it would have killed Ryu and Uro btw
>>287181131My hero
>>287181131he kissed a man and he liked it
>>287176476>barely remembered even after its been just flew months since it ended>the blandest “racism-bad” plot ever written>a future setting that is never explored and neither feels futuristic, its might been 20 years at most since the main manga ended if not for the offscreened cast>boring protagonists and monodimensional secondary cast even beyond gaygay’s writing>plot line dropped for good (kidnapper? Rouge sorcerers?)>the good fight was offscreened>the bad fight was a clusterfuck that made no sense and was full of asspulls…and also it was the actual main fight of the story>solution for the whole setting ultra rushed in 5 chapters, and jjk as a setting is good than dead…basically like SW after TRoS>Yuji was OOC for the whole manga for offscreen reasons and existed only to aurafarm and get athe asspull ending>”my power is actually the one of granting wishes”>alien culture is barely explored>we didn’t even get any kind of Chrisposting with Dabura begging human anon to fuck his sisterModulo was worthless
>>287176476Geto was old enough to make his own retarded decisions. He would have killed everyone in the village to rescue his daughters even if he never talked to Yuki.
>>287179481Mai...
>>287180694Gege didn't even know if she was supposed to support the good guys or if she was going to be an antagonist working side by side with Kenjaku at the time. He made a lot of decisions at the last second while writing the Shibuya Incident arc and it just so happens that his choices are mostly coherent. If he decided to make her an antagonist I bet he would have made Yuki have a similar goal to Kenjaku's but for a greater cause. Instead of starting the merger because of morbid curiosity and boredom I can see her thinking it will make everyone a sorcerer, which means no more curses, which means saving the world at the cost of a few lives.
Would you a cockroach?
>>287185517That would've been good and given Todo more character besides being Yuji's cheerleader.
>>287180407Well because it fucking was, it wasn't a morally good solution but it would have been a lie to say otherwise>>287177892It's over anon... we are the raped now...
>>287179664Good fucking god, Choso is a lucky, lucky man
Sukuna's ass is fucking massive
>>287181131>>287183774>>287185606It was really nice of Gege to add Turkish representation to the series
>>287177445I do think she would have been able to handle that fight better on her own terms than in following Tengen's retarded plan.
>>287184886>jjk as a setting is good than deadI fucking hate gege for this, if you don't want to write about it just let it to another authorOh wait you are afraid of being mogged by an author who actually uses the good parts of jjk lmao
>>287176476Women in sleeveless turtlenecks are hot. Specially if they have muscular arms
>>287176476>poisoned Geto's mindAnd what came of it? A failed attempt to procure a virtuoso, literally nothing was disturbed in the balance between sorcerers and mortals.No, I'm not surprised you just hate women and want her to take some blame for Gojo's colossal fuck up. You excuse Gojo being emotional, but shit your pants when a woman casually entertains a hypothetical the student is incapable of achieving.
>>287177650It very obviously did if you actually read the scene. But while Geto wasn't an adult, he was old enough to think for himself and reconciling these thoughts on his own is something he has to deal with if he wants continue helping people as a jujutsu sorcerer. The psychological damage was done at this point and Yuki recognized this, and knew stomping her foot down saying "no" would only delay the inevitable, at best, reinforce the beliefs at worst. She literally enters the scene complaining about Jujutsu high treating "symptoms" and brainlets expect her to do the same thing by moralfagging to the sorcerer that "murder is le bad mkay??" something he already knows, and is why hes conflicted. She encouraged Geto to explore the root of these feelings to truly tackle it and he did. He just made the wrong decisionWhile her conversation gave Geto the epiphany, it wasn't even the trigger that sent him over the edge. It was the retarded village monkeys perpetuating the same shit that had him in this mental turmoil in the first place. He was always going to snap
how could Megumi's body withstand housing Sukuna? wasn't Yuji only able to because he was bred specifically for that purpose?
>>287189745>And what came of it?Literally everything in the series>if Geto's mind wasn't poisoned, then>Jogo, Mahito, Hanami, and Dagon wouldn't have joined forces and thus would've been easier to handle alone with minimal deaths >Gojo wouldn't be sealed resulting in the deaths of multiple sorcerers like Nanami or Sukuna coming out to kill hundreds in Shibuya >Kenjaku's plan would've been moot. He literally cannot complete it without Geto's technique so no dead Tengen or Culling Games or Merger bullshitYeah no, Yuki is indirectly responsible for every bad thing in the series
>>287190928Unironically, no memes, Megumi had the potential to house Sukuna as well
>>287190928Megumi was the chosen one
>>287190928Because he had the potential to do so. Yes, potential.
>>287189906You would be right, but gege just pulled>bruh i’m just 17>so impulsive decisions le goodAnd literally “saved” the whole world with that.
>>287191089>>287191122>potential to house sukunaHe did house sukuna though
>>287191169Realized potential then
Stop liking evil women
>>287190928He died before Modulo for a reason
>>287191258Sukuna is such a fucking fraudI hate how these threads dixk suck him and not Gojo who deserves it
Do people really like or care about Yuki besides she being hot?
New episode?
>>287191089>>287191122OK. So because the plot demanded it, basically.>>287191169You can't just write that one character has potential to do a task that was previously shown to be impossible for everyone apart from a second, specialised character, then have that first character do said task and say: "See? He did it so he did have the potential after all." That's not how that works.
was there any foreshadowing that megumi even was compatible or was sukuna ready to explode if he wasn't?
>>287191495No. We only knew Sukuna was interested in Megumi but nothing indicated it was as a new body until it happened.
>>287181131*dies to this simple cursed tool*
>>287191335>I hate how these threads dixk suck himAnon, you have the whole internet dixk sucking Gojo, most people wanted him to win
>>287191335>I hate how these threads dixk suck him and not Gojo who deserves itLmao, only this thread has the sense to do so. Meanwhile outside of here Sukuna's quotes are being attributed to Gojo and people think that's cool.
>>287190928There are extremely low odds that someone can host Sukuna, but not zero.Yuji is special because he can fully suppress Sukuna while hosting him.
>>287191258Yuji gets immortality because Sukuna used his bodyMegumi doesntWhy?
>>287191495Sukuna showed interest in him pretty early, when possessing him he said he noticed Megumi's ability to host him, he wasn't gambling on that.
>>287191883Yuji became immortal because he became physically a cursed hybrid by eating the death paintings.
>>287191883>Yuji gets immortality because Sukuna used his body??????????????????Yuji is a freak of nature and if you're referring to Modulo's development then they basically outright state that he's a cursed spirit by then.
>>287191883Yuji is a death painting. Megumi is still a normal human
>>287191883Yuji is Kenjaku's perfectly engineered son, that alone should tell you he's special. But also he ate his brothers.
>>287189027People say this and then act surprised when expanded universe media reads like bad fanfic points. Or worse if they're the main series showrunner
>>287192364I mean. SMT expanded its brand and it landed on Persona, their eventual money maker
>>287192364I mean. Those expanded universe would actually write the series like a proper story instead of relying too much on hype and aura on characters you barely know of
Reminder that there would not be another new season for 2 years.
>>287192364Phantom Parade bothered to remember Yuji, Megumi ,and Nobara are part of the main cast. It's definitely more beneficial than Gege's boner for Yuta and Maki
>>287192876Gege's refusal to let those two take a backseat really hindered JJK to be much more popular than even the likes of One Piece and Naruto. Imagine having someone so popular as Gojo but then decided to not do anything with him. Not even a spinoff. I really don't know what Gege sees in Yuta and Maki for him to love them that much. They barely have any characters, they're just powerscaling panderers.
>>287193046>as Gojo but then decided to not do anything with him. Not even a spinoffUnless you're doing a pre-teen Gojo spinoff, you can't really do much unless you want to read>Villain tries to do something>Gojo can't be damaged whatsoever since you have to compete with both Infinity and RCT>Villain failsover and over.
>>287193046>They barely have any characters, they're just powerscaling panderers.I think in his logic that being strong with no emotions = good and likable character Sukuna also operated on this logic but people don't realize that because he's a villain to begin with
>>287193046Gojo as the MC would unironically get stale extremely fast. There's a reason why he had to be written out the way he did, Too strong for the narrative is always his main problem
>>287192876>>287193046Keep seething.
>>287176476You know what the problem is with the gojo v sukuna fight? Kuna spent the entire fight being humiliated by gojo until gege suddenly remember gojo had to die here, so he just has gojo died because??? After he effortlessly destroyed mahoraga. It doesn't help that sukuna was pretty pathetic either
>>287193280>Humiliated by GojoGojo lost the first 2 clashes and always had to adjust to avoid immediately losing.
>>287193280If gege made Sukuna punch gojo way more Gojofags would have complained
>>287192364not a compelling argument after modulo.
>>287190928I keep telling you guys that Megumi's DEF and RES stats are off the chart and you don't listen.
>>287176476Because no reasonable adult is gonna think telling anyone who thinks the solution to world hunger being killing everyone in the entire world would technically solve it but it's a fucking retarded solution would actually make them actually decide to go through it just because they had a bad day.Geto would have had his melty anyways no matter what, he was looking for any excuse to justify himself.
>>287195468But bro you gotta engage with the idea bro, it might work bro. Killing all humans will save all sorcerers bro.
>>287195860To be fair, Yuki immediately justifies it by saying it would force evolution through fears, like birds growing wings, and that she herself had thought about it but wasn't crazy enough to attempt it
>>287193280Gojo was getting dicked down until he landed that Black Flash
>>287196151>She justifies it... by saying it's fucking retarded and that she realized it after thinking about for three secondsOkay Geto.
>>287192364The problem with expanded universe media is that you often get people who blindly try to copy what the original writer did or it's done by someone who dislikes the source material. What you need is someone that loves the original media, but also has no respect for the author or his retarded opinions of what makes it good. I'm convinced most fans of JJK that hate Gege could write something much better than him if they simple put in the time and effort required to write it.
>>287192364Modulo is just a bad fic using jjk (editor)
>>287193046I honestly wish they kept both group of characters separated but is hilarious how yutamaki fags are like the author when you suggest them to split both storylines since they don't even benefit each others.So Yujifags Gojofags etc would want their own manga but yutamakifags DONT want their own manga, they want Yuji gojo sukuna to be still be there
>>287186909
Heian Tengen, Sukuna spinoff when
How many episodes until the part where sukuna takes over megumi?
>>287198506We can assume that's at the ass end of S4, so maybe around 10 episodes? Really is up to how the Sukuna fight will be handled.
>>287176476incel thread
>>287197810Based.
>>287198506>>287198548If they're gonna end it on Gojo unsealing they will have alot to do after the reveal, I can see it being the cliffhanger for episode 7 or 8.
>>287179481They should've hung out more. Yuki would've been a positive influence on Maki
>>287199795>Someone irresponsibly giving away dangerous ideas and someone who's way too willing to carry out heinous thingsMmmmmmm yeah no
>>287190928Did you forget that 10 Shadows is the Zenin equivalent to Gojo's Six Eyes? Megumi is quite literally top 0.01% of sorcerers potentially, if anyone can withstand Sukuna it's someone as genetically gifted as him
>>287189027>Oh wait you are afraid of being mogged by an author who actually uses the good parts of jjk lmaoActually possible if Gege read the MHA spinoff and saw how another writer made a better story with Hori's world. If I realized that possibility I would also go back to my main manga and shit out a quick sequel with an ending that ensures no more stories can be made in that verse.
>>287200561>I would also go back to my main manga and shit out a quick sequel with an ending that ensures no more stories can be made in that verse.Cursed tool only JJK is a fun idea though since JJK itself barely bothers to play with it.
>>287200561Is the MHA spinoff any good? Didn't care about Deku in the main Manga
>>287200835It's fun, I don't know if it's better than main but I like how it feels like a traditional superhero story
>>287184886>>Yuji was OOC for the whole manga for offscreen reasons and existed only to aurafarm and get athe asspull endingReplace Yuji with Gojo and that's literally the main story.>>287195468>but it's a fucking retarded solutionIt's in line with people who are pro-euthanasia. Which is a lot of people nowadays.
Post some webms from Season 3
>>287201166Ill check it out then, thanks
>>287200835It's a lower stakes story about a small time good samaritan getting involved in a criminal drug ring case. If you didn't care about Deku you'll probably like the vigs MC since he's a direct improvement over all of Deku's flaws.
>>287197590Yeah but "blindly tries to copy what the original did" and "loves the original work but doesn't care about what the author liked about it" often go hand in hand
>>287197590>I'm convinced most fans of JJK that hate Gege could write something much better than him if they simple put in the time and effort required to write it.With all the bizarre headcanons people put out I doubt it.>Gojo should have won <leading to narrative deadlock>>Nobara should've been buffed <leading to questions as to how that happens and why it doesn't happen more often>>Sukuna should've been <following plot beats from another story that they liked that doesn't mesh well>JJK is extremely flawed but holy fuck are the suggestions people throw out even worse.
>>287201968>the suggestions people throw out even worse.The shit I've read here kek. I heavily dislike some of Gege's decisions but some people have zero clue about what they say and just throw shit at the wall
>>287201968There's retarded suggestions but it feels disingenuous to presume they're the only suggestions. There's a lot of points in JJK that could be improved with basic common sense, that nearly anybody could write like->Making Megumi actually live up to his own build up. All you need for this is having him tame all the non-Mahoraga shikigami and actually show Tiger Funeral.>Make Tsumiki an actual character instead of being a plot device to mindbreak Megumi.>Don't kill off the entire Zenin clan in a single arc and have the rest of the cast ignore Maki committing a genocide.>Make non-Toudou Kyoto students actually matter and hold their own in Shibuya/Culling Games.>Make Sukuna kill more than two characters in the final battle. His final showing was so bad he felt stronger before he fully incarnated.
>Yuji senses Yuta and says it's CREEPIERYuta will never escape the pedo allegations >but he says GojoGojo was listing after Miwa, he's a pedophile too
>>287176476Geto really didn't amount to much in the grand scheme, so it hardly matters. Unless you want to blame her for Kenny getting Geto's body for some reason, but that's more Gojo's fault for just fucking leaving it.
>>287202407>Make Sukuna kill more than two characters in the final battle. His final showing was so bad he felt stronger before he fully incarnated.Higuruma surviving felt like a joke.
>>287200835Yeah, it's pretty solid. I do think some of the enjoyment hinges on having read the main story at least partially, so you can contrast some elements and fully appreciate how refreshing it is for the main characters to not be part of Hori's autistic ass pro-hero system. It kinda makes you realize that Hori focused on all the wrong parts of his own setting.
>>287177892I still believe Yuji could fix Denji.
>a Kirara thread got moved to /b/Kek
Yutasissies...
>>287176476She did nothing wrong. She treated him like an adult, and told him the truth of the situation. He's the retard who extrapolated the worst fucking option possible from that.Besides, he was already going to snap. All she did was show him a goal to head towards after he snapped.
>>287181131since the last episode, there’s been multiple images and one animation depicting this guy as a roach woman with massive tits and thighs
>>287204009Yeah, he was going to snap by throwing himself at Gojo's cock. Yuki fucked up by steering him towards the school shooter route instead. If he'd killed like 2-3 even like 5 civilians that night Gojo could've gotten him off the hook and it all could've been smoothed over. But noooo he had to be unreasonable and kill 100+ people in one night +his parents. Wonder how FUCKED the cover up on that shit was. An entire village was wiped off the map because of uhhh a big gas leak lol. No way the government wasn't on their asses after that one. None of it would have happened if Gojo had just fucked him a couple times.
>>287197686>So Yujifags Gojofags etc would want their own manga but yutamakifags DONT want their own manga, they want Yuji gojo sukuna to be still be thereYou realize Gojo starts off in JJK 0, right? If you want JJK to split up from JJK 0 (or Tokyo Metropolitan as one schizo likes to use) then Gojo shouldn't be in JJK.
>>287204279>uhhh a big gas leak lollmao, the Great Hinamizawa Disaster in a nutshell
>>287204654Or what FSN uses
>>287191970God the term "death painting" is so stupid, it has nothing to do with what they actually are. Is that taken from actual japan folklore or something?
>>287192876>remember the main castI hate jjk secondaries
>>287204853I'm so confused about JJK0 from a meta perspective. Is it supposed to be experienced before or after Season 1? Because the manga came before the series, but the movie came after the season.
>>287204279>Wonder how FUCKED the cover up on that shit was. An entire village was wiped off the map because of uhhh a big gas leak lol. No way the government wasn't on their asses after that one.It's honestly incredible that Geto was even able to move around freely in Japan after that. Geto was basically a mass serial killer who was explicitly planning to kill more. Even if you ignore Gojo being too homo to stop him, I'm surprised the government didn't try to launch a missile at him at the first possible opportunity. Dude was public enemy number 1 and only getting stronger by the day as he collected more curses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKqBe9-LLawDamn, why isn't Kishimoto suing?
>>287205006if you're not filthy animeonlines then you start with the manga release
>>287205006jjk0 the manga preceded the serialization, so using that logic the movie should come first. I think it would feel best that way, since I also read jjk0 first. When "geto" reappeared in the manga I was confused and interested, instead of just writing him off as some mysterious background villain.
>>287205050you can't really apply that kind of logic to these things, even if it invites it
>>287205006Manga order release obviously, it'd be like only watching Kizumonogatari movies after you watched Monogatari 2nd season since the movies technically came in much later when they are supposed to be right after Bakemonogatari for the novels.
>>287204853>Panda, Maki and Yuta all remained relevant >Inumaki just hangs out in the background as armletWhy does Gege hate him bros
Getofujos will blame ANYONE and ANYTHING but Geto for Geto being coo coo.Ironically enough, fucking Toji of all people, who actually buckbroke him, is almost never brought up.
>>287202407My favorite never goes anywhere is that one ominous Miwa page.
>>287206158I try not to think about Inumaki because it just makes me disappointed, I have the same gripe about him that Tite Kubo had about megumi's 10 shadows.Cool as fuck technique, and we don't even see it's full potential or any interesting application. It's only ever used for offensive attacks which don't even need this fuckass technique anyway. He was given a significant drawback, but we never even see him improve to be able to control it and maybe be able to talk with more words that aren't ingredients.The Inumaki clan not being one of the Three Great Houses and losing to blood anemia of all things is stupid; do you have any idea how politically powerful a technique of "I can give you irrefutable commands" is? You could do shit like "sign this contract", "forget X thing ever happened", "make this person the next head of the clan and kill yourself", etc. It's perfect to use on non-sorcerers since it's power depends on how much CE the opponent has.
>>287206511Toji is an attractive manWhy would they ever blame an attractive man? When there's a perfectly hateable woman?
This is my binding vow
>>287206511>Getofujos will blame ANYONEObviously Geto is the villain at the end of the day and the story punishes him by him literally dying, he's ultimately to blame for making his stupid decisions in life.It's just interesting because it does add to the tragedy that the people around him probbaly COULD have done something had they realized.They knew him as a good boy and thus never even considered the possibility of such a chimp out, but had either the principal, shoko, and especially Gojo realized something was wrong, stopped sending him to constant missions, etc etc, it probably COULD have been prevented. It just adds a nice layer of tragedy to the character and its why Hidden Inventory feels like such a coherent, weel written shorter story. It knocks Gojo down a pair of notches because, as he says, does it really matter if he's the strongest when he couldn't even do anything for his best friend?The fact that Yuki is THE ONLY ONE who straight up asks Geto if he resents non sorcerers, and she's the least qualified person to talk to him about it as she comes up with hypothethicals about massacring them, can't have been a good thing
>>287206742One of the problems with JJK is barely anyone actually gets stronger or rather there's no increase in strength, even our MCs mostly just unlock new techniques and abilities. Most characters just stays at the power level they appeared at, just that sometimes they find new ways to use their technique.
>>287206975You hit the nail on the head, that's what's been bothering me about the power system in JJK.It doesn't help that CE production is fixed from birth and doesn't increase, it can only decrease. In video games, your mana limit goes up as you level up so you can at least spam more abilities.
>>287206158his power doesn't work in the narrativehe'd make everything a cakewalk and there's not enough there to have him get his own fights
>>287206742Even Dragon Ball explores its world and does better worldbuilding than JJK. At the very minimum, Dragon Ball doesn't try to present you with this grandiose world full of politics and societies that's completely unlike the normal world and then does nothing to explore it or how it affects anything or anyone be it inside or outside it and never show or touch upon how all the happenings in the story affect the world at large or at small.
>>287204853You know the real loss of JJK0 having to get changed so much is that Maki was definitely meant to be the fanservice character. Who knows how much lewd we missed out on in that alternate universe?
If they made a Game of Thrones style anime spinoff about conflicts between the big 3 clans from like 100 years ago I would eat that shit up
>>287208111Gege is not able to write anything on that level, there is a reason he basically offscreened all 3 clans and killed all the higher ups: he couldn't be bothered, he just wanted sorcery fortnite
cokejo i an concious f yuor confidential confernece toda3,, i notice my nasals flare up in contacte from thr nearby colege crack boy come Out the Closet me and Mr CIA awaitw your concession,,

i gues you coulds say he (march)ed off XD xd xd Oh my Gad
>>287207728I mean, the whole "need higher amount of curse energy than the target" for it to work is already a pretty good drawback.
>>287206158probably his gimmick made it hard to work around so he just said fuck it
FACT: Gege had to restrict Cursed Energy to Japan because he knew that a power system based on negative emotions would lead to a wagie with CE turning Sukuna inside out.
>>287205006It was just a oneshot who ended just fine in 0. It wasn't even called jujutsu Kaisen, gege retroactively changed the name because the actual jjk was a lot better
>>287208535>a power system based on negative emotions would lead to a wagie with CE turning Sukuna inside out.But Nanami wasn't all that impressive though.
>>287208164It really bothers me that Gege's masterplan was sorcery fortnite, but when we finally get it almost all the fights are offscreen and there are hardly any players in the colonies.
>>287177107classic woman moment
>>287176476The whole killing all non-sorcerers plan didn’t seem well thought out. Geto was just mad at his boyfriend.
>>287180451Yuta's son was a failure BTW.
>>287179664....in hell
>>287207979She really was always stacked
>>287176476I don't know what Yuki was honestly thinking here>Hmm, this clearly mentally ill teenager with a very powerful CT is suggesting he should kill like essentially 90% of Japan>I'll entertain the idea, it's not like anything bad will happen, right?
>>287208111>>287208164Reminds me of how Togashi couldn't manage it with YYH and got burned out. Changed the Three Kings arc to a mediocre tournament.
It is kinda amazing how Maki gets shafted so much in merch and promotions after the burn >Nobara is still included in these because she's part of the "starting four">Juju Doga aka the mascots had these four plus Yuta>S3 promotions is Yuji/Megumi/Yuta alongsid Choso and naoya>Literally everyone and their mothers got merch but not Maki. Even one episode losers like Ryu has merch and a figure now
>>287209271She's just not easy to draw anymore.
>>287209271part of it is probably that burns clash with the kind of casual outfits they always love doing for merch/collab illustrations
>>287209380>>287209301I just find it hilarious nonetheless. Imagine having one of the biggest episodes and then the merch team looked at her said>She's ugly. We ain't making merch of her
>>287209417>tfw Naoya and Momo were right all along
where is my uro merch tho, she has none so far
>>287190928Yuji was designed specifically as a prison for Sukuna. Sukuna didn't like that and plotted his escape. Megumi was his escape vehicle.
>>287209271should've stuck with the ponytail
>>287209271Who the fuck are they gonna promote for in s4? yuji and megumi don't even appear until the end of the season
>>287193280>so he just has gojo died because???Sukuna outwitted Gojo, from the very start. You didn't notice at the time because Sukuna deliberately misled people, but Sukuna was using Mahoraga's power the entire time to train off Limitless so Sukuna could watch and learn how he did it so he could do it himself.
>>287190928You now recall when Yuji couldn't take a finger bearer and nearly died screaming for Sukuna to help Megumi completely bitched one, overpowered it with his bare hands, and basically toyed with it when he stopped doubting himself.
>>287193280Only a problem if you're a brainlet. Like this anon said >>287209572Sukuna was using Mahoraga from the very beginning which limited him greatly as he was unable to use shrine and had to fight riskier (attacking UV from outside) and had to focus on juggling Amplification on/off whilst not to invalidate Mahoraga's entire adaptation.Sukuna after domain clashes literally could not do anything as he had to take damage from Gojo on purpose to adapt Mahoraga and he couldn't use Amplification since it pauses the adaptation. And after Maho adapted and he was summoned, Sukuna was unable to Amplification at all nor can he use shrine. He literally can't touch or attack Gojo except for a shitty water attack that does no damage. Not to mention he was using Megumi's weaker body instead of the 7 feet hulk.Sukuna without Mahoraga will be moving on Gojo's ass like pic
>>287190928Remember in first episode/chapter where it was stated there's a one in a million chance that the cursed object would incarnate? And we all thought it was Yuji being that one in a million?Nope. It was Megumi. He was that one in a million chance. Yuji was specifically bred to be able to house Sukuna using a finger.
Part 2 when
>>287209713>He literally can't touch or attack Gojo except for a shitty water attack that does no damage.Don't forget that his Max Elephant 'Piercing Blood' use there wasn't to directly deal damage, but to distract Gojo and shift his focus to defending, buying time for Mahoraga to keep adapting. That's what Fusion Beast Agito was there for too. And Mahoraga adapted to Limitless twice; the first time he was able to bypass it by transmuting his own Cursed Energy, which frustrated Sukuna because that's not a feat he could do. The second time was to expand the scope of the Sword of Extermination's slashes to encompass "the world", leading to the World Slash. This is what Sukuna was looking for.
>>287209554>Inumaki merch I do understand Inumaki fans feeling disappointed especially knowing Gege had a clear bias for JJK0 with even Panda having something to do but Inumaki was shafted entirely after Goodwill
>>287210080Inumaki had the Nobara problem. His CT is too good + no actual plot relevance >But what baout PanWe all thought the Yaga subplot would go somewhere.
>>287210124I wanted to see more of psychopath Nobara. Show her deranged and brutal as she bashes cursed spirits' heads in. She doesn't have to become an actual psychopath, she can be her ordinary spunky self when not in combat. But I wanted to see more of her bloodlust.
Cursed Speech is so fucking lame to have in JJK. I'm surprised the inumaki clan survived long enough to have Usami inherit it and it's still lame
>>287206975You could've just said Gege is a bad writer
>>287179664>can't get with the autistic fight shota>pursues the 2 day old cursed incarnation instead
>>287181131Why not just perform parthenogenesis again?What a jobber
>>287191212It's pretty hard to call her evil when she only kills sorcerers
>>287209713>sukuna loses every single hand to hand combat because he's a complete jobber>actually he would have won, and taking brain damage which stopped him from using his domain was deliberate.>And, uh, he would have won in the domain clashes but just chose not to>My evidence for believing this? Uhhhhhhh
>>287210612I already addressed what Sukuna was doing inside domain clashes. No shrine, fighting risky, limited in using Amplification. All held him back inside clashes for the purpose of adapting Mahoraga. Without that and his performance is better. No argument here.And there was no hand-to-hand since Gojo was constantly using blue/red in this "hand to hand" and Sukuna was able to go on pace with Gojo whenever he did use Amplification.>taking brain damage which stopped him from using his domain was deliberate.No one has ever said this. Don't be stupid now.You realise Gojo was trying his all to beat Sukuna in less than 3 minutes inside domain clashes but FAILED, right? 3rd and 4th clash he failed and had a tie with Sukuna in 3 minutes.Know what's even crazier? Even when the 0.01s landed, Gojo needed 2minutes and 40seconds to damage Sukuna aka just 20 more seconds and MV would've broken UV. It was that close even with the 0.01s UV.And True Form Sukuna would absolutely destroy Gojo considering he's much stronger/faster/more durable and Gojo was barely keeping up with Meguna already.
https://x.com/i/status/1961846374040768887>If sukuna won
>>287210192That skill is actually good if you are smart. It's like with some JoJo characters, they could make money and change a lot of shit if they were smart Imagine telling some powerful guy to sign your papers or something
I'm seeing people unironically say Yuta "domain diffs" Kenjaku. Yuta fans have gone insane
>>287205361You can if its a grounded type series, but JJK very clearly isn't. Or at least the "real life" aspects of it are more or less arbitrary or glossed over.
>>287176476>She's the one who poisoned Geto's mindGeto was right thoughbeit, he was just too weak to achieve his goal sadly.
>>287191212stop making them hot
>>287211058>Without that and his performance is betterIf his performance would have been better, he would have done it and killed gojo in the domain clashSukuna took brain damage because he was a jobber fucking retard who should have lostStop coping
>>287211458Nta but if gege made Sukuna more brutal against Gojo Gojofags would cry, 98% of Gojo's appeal is being a gary stu
>>287211316Not really, sorcerers like Sukuna and Kenjaku do more damage than any curse. force evolving humanity into sorcerers will bring so many as bad as them.
>>287206975>>287207876A natural side effect of JJK’s lightning fast pacing and the fact the whole thing happens across roughly only 6 months in universe
>>287211477So what? He didn't do that.Coping about how gege could have changed the story doesn't change how the story went
>>287211151Eh I think Open Domains are kinda overrated, its good for defeating regular DE due to being able to attack outside but they've failed in being a "sure kill" a couple of times as shown with Yuki and Gojo just being able to tank them. Compared to regular DEs where they only fail in being a "sure kill" when either the person has an anti-domain ability or their focus is split by multiple targets like with Dagon and the Small Pox.
>>287211477>being a gary stuHe's an extremely flawed character who diesI don't think you know what that term means
>>287211671This. If there's a Gary Stu in the show its Yuta.
>>287211458Gojo should have fought the merger monster instead
They both died with no bitches
>>287211745Why would gay people want bitches?
>>287211745Sukuna will get a bitch in the sequel
>Send yuji to fight kenjaku>Gojo vs sukuna>Sukuna turns into the merger>Yuji + Megumi + Nobara kill the merger
I miss Dabura memes
>>287211878They died as they lived (less than 4hs)
Weird to think about how Gojo was ready to chimp out and turn evil here if his boyfriend told him to kill everyone in the room
>>287211458The only coper here is you. You're under some false pretense that Sukuna did what he did because he needed Mahoraga's model and not that Sukuna simply wanted the model to refine his technique and get stronger. He was planning to kill Gojo with his domain even.Do you comprehend this pic? If all Sukuna wanted was to kill Gojo then why the fuck would he bother adapting to infinity here after Gojo dies to MS?Sukuna underestimated Gojo and that's why he went from " you're an ordinary nigga in 230" to "You were amazing Gojo-kun in 236". That's all.You're also ignoring that it was never a 1v1 and Sukuna was gonna get jumped by 20 sorcerers after Gojo so he saved his one time heal to true from to then.There's no coping here. Gojo barely kept up with Meguma in domain clashes and would get destroyed by true form who's much stronger in domain clashes.
>>287210270>>287210282>>287210300These are pretty nice
>>287211923can you blame him? if it wasn't for the old fart's superstitions they both could've been clapping cheeks at the beach (while eskimo kissing)
>>287210282>Sukuna trial reference

>>287211878>human anon!>you must fuck my sister!
>>287189119Maki is the undisputed goddess on that regard
>>287212322Gross
>>287176476am I the only one that thinks its weird that geto has a whole backstory about how he becomes a sorcerer supremecist but then he just gets brain replaced by a different sorcerer supremecist? Its like gege wanted to create a backstory as to why "geto" is evil, but realized he was too cartoonishly evil so he said fuck it its a guy named kenjaku piloting his body like a mecha
>>287212784When a character becomes too popular nips are too afraid to make them 100% evilIt's why Sukuna was a rapist and a pedo at first then gege made him softer
>>287212751Retard
>>287212784Eh id say that's only a feeling you get if you're under the impression that JJK is the original series and that JJK 0 was made later on or even worse, you might think its a non-canon movie so you didn't bother checking it out. Contrary to what that certain schizo might say, not having events of JJK 0 be something that happened in JJK would create some weird gaps and seemingly pointless details to the story:>why bother giving Geto a backstory for why he's bad when it wasn't him we've been seeing anyway?>wait so HI ends with Gojo letting Geto go free... but then off-screen he actually did kill him anyway before the series started?>why does Gojo have such confidence that this random 2nd year student could defeat "Geto" who's a special grade like Gojo and might be of similar level?>who the fuck are these random sorcerers talking about being family with Geto when he became a crazy cult leader?If you read/saw JJK 0 before starting JJK or at least after 1st season then you might notice that there's something off with "Geto" besides the head scars, which some might wave off as just a tattoo or battle damage. For as bad as Geto was, its established he doesn't really want to kill other sorcerers, how is he fine with just letting Mahito murder a bunch especially like Mechamaru who's a promising one? Then there's whole trying to get rid of Gojo, why would Geto do that to his best friend even if we assume he might have some resentment from being his "killer", despite how he was likely already dying from his fight with Yuta. Also some minor stuff like that worm Cursed Spirit that was attached to Toji, what was the point of showing it reaching Geto?
>>287213592I did watch jjk 0 before the series, but isnt the geto in that movie the real geto? from my recollection he basically acts like kenjaku
>>287213867Yes JJK0 Geto is the real GetoAnd iirc Kenjaku acts like him because when he uses his CT he has the person's memories and it influences him
>>287212819>It's why Sukuna was a rapist and a pedo at first then gege made him softerThis is unironically lame as fuck. There's a reason why people feared Sukuna so much. Removing his degradedness ruins why he's such an effective villain
>>287212819AIN'T NO WAY SUKUNA A DIDDYBLUD BRUH
>>287212819He did want to rape Tengen by the end so it's not all gone.
>>287176476>women>taking responsibility for anything everLol. Lmfao, even.
>>287214642>There's a reason why people feared Sukuna so much.Pretty sure it's him massacring entire armies single-handedly.Imagine you're in a squad/giant group and suddenly see your friends and colleagues get sliced to bits andc10 seconds later a giant volcano like explosion happens in front of you burning your friends' bodies to ashes and in the middle of it this grotesque giant freak with 4 eyes 4 arms all bloody holding 2 weapons.
>>287185606Yes. The Versus roach was cute.
>You know what would really hit the spot today? Some cooked human flesh. I wish Uraume were here to—>...>I really need to kill myself huh
>>287215620I mean it'd be pretty fucked up if he did kill himself after absorbing way too many of Sukuna's bad habits since he had like a full month to go do whatever he wanted unlike with Yuji's.GEGE IF YOU ARE READING THIS
Are you happy with Megumi's story?
>>287191883Megumi is a bitch
>>287204279The issue isn't just that he killed the whole village, but that he went so far as to kill his own parents for his ideology. There's no way to come back from something like that.
>>287215670>a month of delicious feasts of human flesh >a month of depraved sexual debauchery as Sukuna attempted to defile his soul (he can heal himself AND others btw)>a month of killing and torturing hordes of refugees escaping Tokyo PSYCHOgumi was in PARADISE for a month, and got to walk away completely scott free on top of that. For the first time in his violent and wretched life, his heart was truly happy.
I do wonder why Sukuna blasted Gojo with the water during that moment when Mahoraga had infinity off. Like sure it wouldn't have a been a lethal hit but surely cutting of his arm would have bought more time than the literally nothing that the water did. Remember at that point in the fight Sukuna was literally going to win after a certain time limit so anything that buys even 5 seconds is worth it.
>>287206838Yes but your heavenly restriction is you’re British trapped on London
>>287205050He's special grade. His influence is rather big too. There's nobody who can oppose him outside of Satoru who refused to engage as long as Suguru kept a low profile.
Such a great universe. Shame Gege is a faggot who had to kill it off. Retard is a charlatan
>>287215814There's just a lot of weird stuff that Sukuna does in that fight>Never brought out Kamutoke for no real reason even though a cursed tool like that would've been handy>Never used Round Deer for its RCT instead dumping it away on Agito (Maybe he thought his RCT was good enough or was not explicitly stated his buffing himself with it)
>>287211477>Nta but if gege made Sukuna more brutal against Gojo Gojofags would cry, 98% of Gojo's appeal is being a gary stuhard agreed, the only reason why gojofags even stomached gojo's defeat is because he died fighting the strongest sorcerer in history on a 1 on 1 and all the other sorcerer's perfomance was subpart to him. had gege gone with his original idea of kuna effortlessly killing gojo people would have burned their volumes lol
>>287215814>>287215935Don't care get CHADire extinguished faggot
>>287216133I do wonder where he picked this up, Yuji or Megumi? I doubt he really decided to just go>A fire extinguisher? The modern era's tools are quite advanced.And decided to use it as a smoke screen.
>>287215182>Implying Tengen wasn't his mom
>>287185606yuta is so lucky…
I'm not really an agendafag nor a powerscaler but i don't get the reason why intentionally weak characters are placed in such a series like JJK. Not sure what people saw in Megumi when it was clear he was never gonna get stronger because he refuses to. This in turn also makes him useless in the one aspect of the series where things actually progress, fights. Maybe I just don't like his character in general. How he is still popular is beyond me.
>>287217288The sasuke archetype has a massive stronghold in japan but controversial elsewhere. Sasuke is still divisive but remedied by the fact he's one of the most powerful character in his series. It also helps that he is one of the most important as well. Megumi has none of that, only the potential to be any of those but he never got to be so his popularity fell down a lot. Truth be told, I don't know how he remains popular either. That level of sabotage would kill the character's popularity in the gutter.
>>287217288>but i don't get the reason why intentionally weak characters are placed in such a series like JJKNot sure with what you mean here. These people are there because they live there. This isn't like Dragon Ball where people are obsessed with getting stronger, in fact only a handful of characters have a clear intent to get stronger. The strong are strong and the weak are weak.
>>287217388nta but Megumi is far by one of the few characters who stayed for most of the series barring Yuji and Gojo. People naturally expected him to get strong. But the reality is that he's just a weak sorcerer who doesn't know how to use his power correctly but at the same time, he doesn't know how to get out of this situation so it created this frustrating case of some guy who would rather doom others than to save them, making him a massive hypocrite and unironically more of a villain
>>287217388You gotta ask what even was the point of Megumi if he's just going to be a power up for Sukuna to show what 10S can actually do. Might as well have some random NPC have it with the screentime of Tsumiki.
>>287217288Gege never really liked Megumi to begin with. I mean, his fight record is proof alone he was never going to be the next hottest shonen rival that people wanted. The only thing that Gege didn't plan for was Megumi's popularity still being huge despite his numerous attempts to make people either hate him or forget about him.
>>287217587It's wild to think Gege had the perfect opportunity to literally kill Megumi halfway with Shibuya but then kept him around for some reason
>>287217645Not really, Sukuna's plans wouldn't have worked properly. Killing him off then and there would have just halted that idea in its tracks. Not completely however, there's still a brainjacker out there that might want to see what would happen.
>>287217710I mean. Megumi was literally dead. Sukuna wouldn't have any issues taking over his body since he's basically the same number of fingers he was when he actually did the possession
>>287215806Take your meds
>>287176476Rereading this part makes it clear that yuta wasnt actually sparing their lives until after he won. Ryu is confused at what yuta meant by “give me your points” and then is recapped on the new rule. The rule was likely put in place when he was unconscious
>>287217740Would it? Iirc Sukuna said he needed for him to be a bit mindbroken for the possession to work, it was really just that convenient that Tsumiki was possessed and no one really thought that was a possibility.
For all the complaints of Fujimoto's writing. Aki is what Megumi should've been written to begin with>Never stated to have the potential so he obviously loses all of his fights like a bitch>Very substantial amounts of screentime with Denji and Power and Angel>Has enough screentime with Himeno for his depression to hit hard>His depression was given real careMegumi wishes he got any one of these that Aki did get. It's just baffling to me how fucking empty his character is on both a writing standpoint and a power standpoint.
>>287215670>Sukuna's bad habitsWhat he probably got from being the 2nd vessel was an early death. I wouldn't be surprised if his health started declining or something along those lines and that's why he isn't shown in Modulo
>>287217890Hasn't Megumi become one of the most hated characters recently? I wouldn't be surprised if all the humiliation and slander just killed off his popularity.
Our heroes
>>287217890It really is. Megumi is carried hard by headcanon and not canon>He clearly looks up to Gojo>Reality: Never likes Gojo. Never felt sad for his death, >He clearly loved Tsumiki>Reality: Megumi is being an asshole to one and her only non coma conversation>He and Yuji are so close>Reality: Megumi only saw Yuji as some sort of emotional placebo. Same with Nobara. He never liked them to begin withLike holy shit, is there anything likable about this guy?
>>287211934>he could have won, but he chose not to because he wanted to get brain damage for fun>also btw he couldn't even beat gojo when it was 3v1 but uhhh he definitely could have beaten gojo on his own in cqcfucking lmaosukuna faggots are so retarded
>>287218314>>Reality: Megumi is being an asshole to one and her only non coma conversationNow this is just false, there's an entire section of him talking about how he tried to shield her from Jujutsu but that clearly didn't work.
The standards for a popular character is pretty low these days when Megumi is still somehow ranking top 3 in polls despite being nothing. Imagine if JJK aired in the boomer era. No fucking hell would Megumi be a remotely top 10 popular character.
>>287218407I say give it time. Megumi will just be compiled with the other failed Sasuke clones of the old era.
>>287218271...and BITCHjaku is there as well.
>>287218407Megumi and Bakugou felt like massive anomalies as to how they got so popular despite doing fuckall in the plot and their characters
>>287218622Nani did he say?
>>287218407>>287218554Being in the main cast is literally good enough to make you be part of the more popular charactersOne must be so terribly written and unappealing that even being the MC wouldn't do any favors to one's popularity yes, this is a jab at Kaiju no 8
>>287218554Eh. Bakugou is genuinely hated where people celebrated the chapter of him dying to Shiggy. Megumi is only made fun but very few genuinely hate him.
>>287218650>Spoiler Sakamoto Days suffers from an unpopular MC as well.
I never liked the Sasuke archetype. How people find those types of characters likable is beyond me. I find it absurd the characters in naruto just forgave Sasuke for everything. It's worse in JJK when the characters should ostracize or even execute Megumi for being the one to kill Gojo because he didn't do anything to help and let Sukuna do his thing but they didn't. He let him scot free
>>287218649"What the... you're actually pretty cute when you smile. vomit woman""S-Shut up, you dickhead!!!!"
>>287218849As far as that raid is concern, they only lost Gojo but in return, they killed Sukuna/Kenjaku (and Uraume I guess )Choso and Kashimo are still mass murdering criminals.
>>287218849Gege seems to be afraid of actually delivering the harshest punishment to Megumi. Reasons unknown even By all means, he should be dead and he should've lost his technique entirely. He was also a chicken in regards to his dead status in modulo until the final chapter but even then, it was very vague.
Kenjaku looks like he doesn't bathe I dunno something about his design
>>287218957I think the idea in my opinion was that he didn't want to make the final battle ending in such a bitter depressing note hence Megumi still has his kit. It's also why the actual death count in the raid is also pathetically low as he for some reason didn't want people to hate megumi even more if you dare say he killed off memorable characters such as larue or ino.
>>287219020>if you dare say he killed off memorable characters such as larue or ino.this one baffled me because kashimo and ryu died in an instant. But somehow those two survived. Ino is quite literally the most average adult sorcerer. He shouldn't have survived.
Unless you're a Sukunafag, I don't know how anyone enjoyed Shinjuku after Sukuna vs Gojo. Fight after fight of the same guy knowing how it'll end was a massive slog that you're just hoping Megumi should wake the fuck up already.
>>287219120Anime onlies enjoyed CG so far. But I'm not even sure if they'll even forgive Megumi either once that moment comes up.
>>287219061i can see him not wanting to kill off ino to make him using the nanami tool and being able to contribute more of a feel-good moment. but larue tanking that shit is hilarious
>>287219120Gege killing off way too many villains just sucks.
>>287219120>Sukuna finally fighting Yuji>Everyone getting in on itAnyone who "lost interest" is probably just a Gojofag that got mad he died.
>>287219120It will be faster in the anime and animeonlies will love it tooIt's mostly Gojofags the ones feeling cucked because Sukuna is not limited to fight Gojo
>>287219061>>287219260Gege leaves a lot of shitty characters alive and kill a lot of cool ones so Puta can shine a little You really think people would even remember Maki if we got Toji vs Sekuna instead?
>>287218343Umm dude even Gojo kneels to Sukuna's greatness and superiority.If Gojo, Yuki, Yuta, Uraume say Sukuna > Gojo then Sukuna > Gojo. That's just the fact of the matter.>he definitely could have beaten gojo on his own in cqcThat's the neat part. He doesn't need to.>he could have won, but he [underestimated Gojo] and [had to worry about the 20 sorcerers ready to jump him after]Fixed that for you.
I'll say it.Sukuna possessing Megumi was a fucking mistake.
>>287219757Anon, have you ever considered that people aren't always truthful or accurate with their words?
>>287220016Qualities that couldn't be far from being applicable here considering the circumstances Gojo was in and who he said it to.
>>287220016>Don't believe what's shown>Don't believe what's told>Don't believe what's saidWhat are we left with here?
>>287219757This is something ive only ever seen in jjk. There are people who just argue with the narrative or are too stupid to understand the authors intention in writing some scenes
>>287220521One Piece has that too but there the narrator is sometimes wrong>The STRONGEST man>The STRONGEST creature>umm ackshuallyIt does make sense since the newer powerups/characters are not known around the world but it is funny.
>>287211477This is true
>>287219757It goes to show how little faith people have in Gege as a writer, and it's his own fault. It's hilarious how much he had to hammer in how much more powerful Sukuna was to Gojo, but we just don't see that in the moment. We literally saw Sukuna gloating about how it was a 3 v 1, saw him desperately calling out to Mahoraga, and he almost (did) got his ass kicked. The last slash didn't feel like it was him overpowering Gojo, it was literally a hack that he said he needed Mahoraga for. And then dumb shit Gege said that Gojo had let his guard down after Mahoraga was defeated, further crippling whatever credibility was left for Sukuna.
>>287211477Gojo would unironically be exactly the same as kashimo if that was the case
>>287218271Art like this just hammers in how much Gege regretted not retconning Geto's jjk0 arc and death lol he wants the symbolism and imagery, but it just doesn't work with KennyKenjaku has barely a connection to Gojo from coincidentally possessing his bsf and wanting to get rid of him for his plans just like anyone else, explicitly says he doesn't care about yuta, and basically also implies he doesn't care about yuji much either since he served his purposeour villain, lmao
>>287220647Not like Gege didn't help Gojo a lot as well.>Why did Mahoraga conveniently adapt to UV right when Sukuna had his MS destroyed and not, idk, 10 seconds before despite that already being the longest he ever took to adapt to an ability by a landslide? Maho would just destroy UV and Sukuna gets hit with no UV and Gojo dies >Why did Maho never use WCS after the first time? Why didn't he use it when Gojo was chanting for red? Why didn't he use it to attack the blue and nullify it before red merged with it?In the end, Gege just wanted a big epic fight between Sukuna and Gojo whilst still wanting to keep the notion of Sukuna being stronger.
>>287215806Canon btw.
>>287211671>He's an extremely flawed character who diesHe still remains an invincible and unrivaled plop device that had no real weaknesses as a sorcerer and was by all means a god of chaos amongst men who couldn't be written doing anything because he was perfect and unrivaled in every way. Him not taking shit anything seriously or being a disastrously apathetic yet right spells fanfiction oc gary stu.
>>287220886>Outright tanking Malevolent Shrine the first time>Hitting a Black Flash at a key momentThis only get exacerbated with the anime since MS outright deleted Mahoraga but could only do scratches on Gojo. Gege were really giving both a lot of exemptions so that it didn't end in 2 chapters.
>>287221314No seriously, where did she go? Did she just bum it up in Tokyo like the other awakeneds?
>>287204279>None of it would have happened if Gojo had just fucked him a couple times.I refuse to believe they didn't already fool around a little before that happened. Geto needed a romantic love confession and a passionate hug and only got one 2 seconds before he died.
>>287218271AIEEEEE MEGUMIFANS WHAT'S HAPPENING????
>>287217381>The sasuke archetype has a massive stronghold in japan but controversial elsewhere. Sasuke is still divisive but remedied by the fact he's one of the most powerful character in his series. It also helps that he is one of the most important as wellTrust me, Sasuke sort of character is not that popular anymore compared to what it once was. Sasuke was a straight up contradicting dumpster fire the moment he left the village and had no real established state in terms of character direction outside of making the MC more heroic and righteous. Sasuke was always a pawn to the overall narrative and that was his greatest setback on why fans hated him so much, also the fact he lost a majority of his fights despite being a aura beast, Sasuke was more like the proto Megumi, all style no substance and pay off. It seemed his sort of character thrives when hes evil or a straight up badass like Hiei and Shadow.
>>287222009Did Sasuke lose a lot of his fights? I thought he was at least had a better track record than most characters of his archetype
>>287217288Maybe because the stoic and brooding ace archetype are expected to have as much strength and power growth as the mc and relatively everyone else thats top tier in the setting. Gage just decided not to give him those traits and thus his character is soured to many people outside of fangirls, its usually a bad idea to make someone that is made to be cold, emotionless, depressed and emo and not compensate that by giving him god like abilities in battles. Megumi is Sasuke but has Sakura's uselessness.
>>287221866I think she was supposed to be the sorcerer Kenjaku kills, like Ryu was killed by Sukuna but for some reason they changed it to a new character.
>>287211745Gojo is reunited with his lover Geto in the afterlife and Sukuna finally removes the stick up his ass around Uraume in the afterlife. They're faggots and dying is what helped them get bitches, if anything.
>>287222138>its usually a bad idea to make someone that is made to be cold, emotionless, depressed and emo and not compensate that by giving him god like abilities in battles.This is why I don't get with Megumi. He acts like he's in charge but is about as useful as the typical shonen female Like dude,
>>287218450>Sasuke clonesYou mean Hiei/Kurapika clones
>>287222009>>287222138Just like with Sasuke, Megumi is a lot of can of worms that seem to contradict to what his character is supposed to be >Is presented seemingly as the level headed expert guy>Is actually one of the weakest of the series >Is seems like he's the one who doesn't cause trouble>Is the one who basically started all the horrible events >Is seemingly important>Isn't Honestly, his popularity is just people refusing to let go and for those who find him cuteBecause really, Megumi has got to be one of the worst characters to have come out of the genre because who in their right mind would have a character like this
>>287218554Bakugou was a shonen hero in a rivals role and had nearly invincible plot armor and power fears with a 1d childish power fantasy edgy anti hero personality l. He was pre-made to be popularity slop for casuals.
>>287212784Based on everything Gege said about how JJK0 came to be, I think he created Gojo's, Geto's and Maki's arcs/backstories for JJK0 first and had to repurpose them for JJK because a one-shot wasn't long enough to tell everything. Just based on how we see that one panel of Gojo and Geto as teenagers at the end of JJK0 and how Geto is based on Sensui from YYH it's obvious he had Geto's backstory prepared for JJK0 at the very least. It's unrelated to Kenjaku, and keep in mind at the beginning of the Shibuya arc, Gege wasn't even sure if he wanted to make Kenjaku or Yuki the main antagonists yet.
>>287218554I think as of recent, only Yuno failed to be popular which is insane because he is the opposite of Megumi He's literally the strongest and most important and yet when you talk to BC fans, they flat out hate him, casual viewers don't even remember Yuno
>>287222124I mean compared to Nardo and even Itachi, Sasuke aint that great.
>>287218554>>287222295>>287222260Nu gen shonen rivals are honestly in the gutter because of how terribly written they are and have clearly only served to appeal to fujos. Old gen rivals were pandering to fujos too but at least they had agency and decent care form their authors By all accounts, megumi and bakugou shouldn't ever be popular
>>287218554He's not really a rival but Zenitsu is just as terrible and I don't know what Japan sees in him either. Motherfucker went back to square one after having his big fight with Kaigaku
>>287222322Vegeta and Zoro are also more dignified than Sasuke
>>287222197Hiei was my husbando when I was 12 years old.
>>287222489>VegetaBro......If DBZ aired today, Vegeta would've gotten more humiliating slander than Megumi
I just don't get why authors have to need to fill in a quota though. Like why have Megumi when Yuji already pairs off well with just Nobara and Gojo alone? Why the need to have someone who acts eternally pissed off and shuts down the guy who wants to make things better. Megumi is not even a rival nor a friend to Yuji so idk what even was his purpose other than bringing in fujobait that's clearly shallow as fuck
>>287222596You said it yourself. Megumi brings in the fujos and unlike slanderers and porn addicts, fujos bother to buy merch Megumi's character writing don't matter as long as he has a cute face.
Is it actually true Megumi is that hated? i was expecting a lot of rage articles stating how Japan loved the episode but the west hates it blah blah blah like with Maki's episode (for a different reason)
>>287222528based
>>287222596Yuji and megumi are not even friends so like it feels as if Yuji only went out of his way to save Megumi just so that he could at least save even one life.
>>287222596Gege needs 10s for him to bash action figures together, merchandising needs someone to fill the missing slot in the standard trio. And frankly fans have probably put way more thought into it over the years than they did
I mean, how many popular guys do we have in JJK who are still alive, decent amount of screentime, and is not a villain? Barely.
Would Todo be a better replacement in the trio than Megumi? I mean, that basically happened in Modulo but I'm talking about if it occured from the start. Three loudmouth but supportive friends and their cocky but strong sensei. No debbie downers or depressed bums to pull them down
>>287223008Reddit would like it and I guess this place too. But I don't think it would work. Nobara would file a restraining order if she was near Todo.
>women are so fucking stupid for going after pieces of shit, they need to take accountability>why my little boy did nothing wrong, he killed his family because of the words of a femoid, she needs to be punished
True form Sukuna
>>287205050He likely had a lot of political clout and connections related to his cult. His technique is incredibly versatile, he could have easily monitored and blackmailed politicians, kept a constant lookout for hostile sorcerers, etc.
>>287223313No one is ready for Heian Sukuna anime
>>287223440And keep in mind cults are batshit crazy in Japan irl so Geto using another schizo child killer's cult for his own gain could have worked even if he didn't have superpowers. Just remember why Shinzo Abe was assassinated. Or the whole scandal with that corrupt female ex president in Korea a few years ago.
>>287223313>>287223482KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
>>287223558>Kashimo analysis!>He's perfect!Thank you for the confirmation Gege.
>>287222596>fujobaitGojo and Yuji already have this on top of their own clonficts/plots. It’s that with Megumi, due to what happens to him (stops being a character) it seems like that's the only major relevant thing he has
>>287218965He doesnt.Look at the difference in getos hair pre and post kenjaku
>>287218965Kenjaku looks like he has greasy hair and several STDs. Geto looks clean and like he smells good.
Kogane. add a rule, everyone has to fight naked.
>>287224035DENIED. THAT WOULD MAKE EVERYONE HAVE SEX AND NOT KILL EACH OTHER AND THUS END THE CULLING GAMES
>>287208978Yuta's son is the only thing that will save the sou- I mean sorcerer society from the SIG menace and SHARTJI getting rid of most CE.Iori will don the title "Potential Man" and bring Sorcerous potential back into the world.
>>287224115Kogane, if you do not add this rule I will break the game by adding paradoxical rules.
>>287179664you could have posted any of ten billion real illustrations of her and you chose g(a)ya(i)
>>287218849Sasuke really isnt that bad, hes just an offshoot of Kurapika/Killua/Hiei all in one villain rival brand with no real point but to hype the mc up and give the story a true obstacle for the mc the achieve. I think Kishi made Sasuke unlikable because its the point, the mc has his own name on the series, so his importance is to foil Sasuke in every way that makes him near gary stu levels likable and relatable and inspiring like Kishimoto wanted him, Sasuke has to be the hated and unlikable character in order for the former to work as a character and what his appeal is.
>>287224424DENIED. I WILL TELEPORT KASHIMO HERE TO KILL YOU IF YOU ATTEMPT THIS
>>287220281>believe what's shown>don't believe what retard sycophants say>"AIIIIEEEE NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT"
>>287218849>I find it absurd the characters in naruto just forgave Sasuke for everything.It helps that he saved the world alongside the rest of Team 7. Compare that to Megumi, who never did anything to redeem his compliance by inaction.
>>287224606He made a shadow puddle, he helped lol
>>287206756They blame Gojo sometimes too though.
>>287206511Not only do I not blame Geto, but there is simply nothing to blame him for.
>>287217288>Not sure what people saw in Megumi when it was clear he was never gonna get stronger because he refuses toCause Gege tricked people into thinking he would, don't believe in the revisionism from fans in trying to give him excuses for his writing.
>>287217288>How could people expect character development of a main character in a story?CHADSUKE saw tragedy strike him and the people he loved and in response devoted his entirety to justice for those he loved.When he realized he was lied to and his entire world was a lie, instead of giving up he doubled down now onto the true justice.SHARTGUMI on the other hand? In the face of adversary, he simply gives up. This is also after he had an entire mini-arc about how changing his mind when it came to this way of thinking against the Sukuna Finger. Whereas his first instinct was to throw himself to the wolves to take the finger with him, he instead pushed himself to manifest a domain expansion an win on his own terms.This was of course forgotten about by Gege and he regressed back into BUMGUMI.
>>287225871Not sure what picrel does to deny that. Megumi said he'll try to get stronger. Gojo expected him to do so. Megumi failed and Gojo was wrong.
>>287226025>>287217288Are you baiting? Your entire point is "How could people expect Megumi to get stronger when it was obvious he wasn't?" meanwhile we have literary evidence that he intended to improve and get better, and this was simply erased when Gege wrote him to instead just give up. He had character development that moved him from a bystander to a mover and then that was just forgotten about by the author. That's readers being misguided by the author to rather than a lack of reading comprehension.
>>287226117>>287226025Which is all to say, he didn't just "fail to get stronger", he gave up after having character development about how he won't give up and half ass his development anymore.
>>287226117>YouI just replied to you.>That's readers being misguided by the authorI don't understand this, does every statement that a character make have to be followed else the author is lying?
>>287226223>I just replied to you.I don't know what you mean by this.>does every statement that a character make have to be followed else the author is lying?I didn't use the word lie intentionally because it isn't lying, it is misleading. The author isn't "breaking" rules by having this happen, but fans are not wrong to expect what the author presented them with in the story nor are they wrong for not liking when that rug was pulled under them in a character they invested into.
>>287220647>but we just don't see that in the momentIt's more suggested by what we see, but it's not hard to digest. >>287220886 is right, though. He wanted to show off Ten Shadows, show off Sukuna's resourcefulness, and deliver a big epic battle. Sukuna taking Blue Eyes's brown eye for a pounding with DA and Malevolent Shrine alone wouldn't have been interesting, and Gege also needed to strip Sukuna a little in order for Yuji and co. to have a believable shot even with Yuji's soul whacking.Given everything he had to do (which is Gege's own fault, to be clear) I think the fight works fairly well even with its handful of contrivances.
Sukuna should've raped Yorozu.
>>287219687>It will be faster in the anime and animeonlies will love it tooEh I wouldn't be too sure about that, cause S3 just had some eps where they just dragged out the scenes so that the confrontation lasted more eps than it should have, notably Megumi vs. Reggie could easily have been done in 1 ep but they didn't do it.Honestly though, the one part from the manga that could actually feel worse in anime format is the Sukuna raid due to the aspect of having to feature certain characters, make them feel like maybe they could do it, only for it to not work cause obviously Sukuna wouldn't lose to them. Something to keep in mind is that a lot of those characters just have 1 or 2 chapters before they got folded by Sukuna, and even the most dragged out chapters the anime has done were just 3 chapters an ep.>but just add more punching and kickingSee part of the problem with doing that for this arc is that they are also supposed to be steadily wearing down Sukuna enough that most of them managed to survive. If you have Sukuna still have the energy to be unga bunga on the 8th challenger then it begs the question how the previous ones are still alive or how he didn't beat them faster.With the anime, you face a problem where extending scenes to have characters have their own eps can make it seem like Sukuna is not actually getting tired, on top of actually making the raid more dragged out than the manga version. On the other hand, if you adapt chapters as is, then there's gonna be characters who'll get defeated halfway in the ep, maybe even have Sukuna beat 2 people in a single ep.
I liked this season but it felt like something vital was missing
>>287226223>does every statement that a character make have to be followedof course not, but the statement here answers the original question "why did people expect megumi to become stronger?"you have an introspective scene where megumi reflects on what gojo and sukuna have said about him and specifically decides to try his partial domain based on those criticisms. that's why people expected him to redouble his efforts.
>>287199938Is it though?That's only specifically because of Mahoraga, which prior to Sukuna, no other 10s user had subjugated, so Mahoraga kills its summoner too. So, it's just a suicide bombing technique. Im sure if you dropped a nuke on Gojo, the radiation or instant heat might get to him eventually.
Would a master of 10 shadows be able to use Nue's electricity the same way Kashimo does
>>287228226I doubt it could reach Kashimo's proficiency but it could probably get close.
I think I'm falling in love with Uro...
>>287227693A madonna of the Tokyo school of jujutsu sorcery?
>>287178501Isn't Geto accountable for his own actions?
Why wouldn't Kenjaku just wait for a new Six Eyes user that will almost definitely be weaker than Gojo instead of risking thousands of years of planning fighting a Sukuna tier threat?
>>287212322she looks like a zebra
Special Grade.
>>287191495Foreshadowing of being the ORIGINAL host while Yuji was his dead best friend (a few chapters in, and gets replaced by Choso).
>>287220756Kenjaku is barely a character. He is a plot device to move the plot, and it's only other character moments are the Geto connections.
>>287218271>>287221974Megumi was irrelevant.Look at Modulo. Yuta and Maki, their descendants and their tools/wishes, were important for the climax and present story, bringing the old cycle to a close.Yuji's important for the future after Modulo. Megumi? What was Megumi's weight?
>>287227693in our hearts

I love JJK crossover shit.
>>287229622Rika*
>>287229270Better yet, why not just kill the Gojo clan before a six eyes user is even born?
>>287229622That's a cool looking monster puppet.
>>287229489Gege is too gay to give a girl short skirt and spats after JJ0.
>>287229660The six eyes are tied to Tengen, another one would be born somewhere else
>>287197686>yutamakifags DONT want their own manga,hey i do, i think the biggest issues with post shibuya maki are just that her storyline feels very undercooked and the culmination of her development literally just walks into the scene and immediately gives her the answers she needs, i think if she had a situation where she got focus on her for longer than 4 chapters at a time it'd benefit her severely
>>287204609Correct. Make Yuji go to the Kyojo jobber class and see how he fares if Yujifags ABSOLUTELY think he can carry the Title on his back. No Gojo, or any JJK0 cast for him.Oh and Kenjaku has no business with Geto. Since he was obviously Geto for Gojo. Let him be Kaori.Enjoy your canceled to chapter 8 manga.
>>287197686gojo's in a metropolitan school character. he wouldn't appear in this spinoff unless the settings merge. period. neither would geto. Now feeling the pressure now, you can't eject yuta and maki if you're not going to eject gojo and geto.After Yuta story, there could be a flashback of how Gojo met Geto so Hidden Inventory arc happens.
Damn monkeys
>>287193280>sukuna knows gojo is invulnerable >sukuna sees mahoraga can adapt to phenomena >sukuna acquires mahoraga >sukuna starts fight with gojo>sukuna keeps mahoraga alive long enough for it to develop a counter>sukuna using binding vows to mimic the counterSukuna had a strategy going into it. He won fair and square.
>>287193280>mahoragawho?
>>287226025There's a difference between saying "this character failed to uphold their goal/objective" and saying "he was never gonna get stronger because he refuses to".
Yuka+Maki genes are exquisite
>>287231581That's Eight-Grip Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga to you!
>>287229489Guess this would be Yuji’s love interest if only Yuta was changed to female
>>287223313KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*faints*
Is it gay to get impregnated by a man for your 1000+ year old plan? I'm assuming it's not, like how being gay for pay is straight.
>>287176476because she's hotretarded but hot
>>287232954No if it's for the sake of a plan
What's next for Rika?
>>287232294I mentioned before would have a similar aesthetics to Nier+Death of Granblue:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67TwG6uvFcshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlDNacQSi9k
>>287232294This artist gotchu. But that would mean overlapping and changing some settings. I did say before nobody was Yuji's real love interest because he didn't have a contrast/opposite girl. Maki and Yuta had the "no ce/boundless ce" theme. Dabura and Chef the alien/human. Megumi and Hana (I think that was Gege's endgame before getting cold feet) was shadow+light.Yuji never got one. Nobara and Yuko didn't have some kind of foil+thematic thing that Gege seems to care for. The closest that could have had one was unironically Yuta if he was a girl because he is psysical with not much CE while Yuta's opposite as a more slender fighter with lots of CE. And their King/Queen.
>>287234208They fill the Sukuna/Kenjaku archetype of their generation
>>287232294A shonen where Mc’s love interest is stronger than himSounds interesting
>>287234208Trio being from Kamo (Yuji, through Kaori), Gojo (Yuta) and Zenin (Megumi/Maki) could have worked. But they never connected Yuji with Kamo.
>>287234273His connection is good enough with being blood related to Choso and the man who was Noritoshi Kamo. The series could have just highlited it.
>>287234222I was thinking about intended experiment vs natural prodigy through the genetic lottery win (who demonstrates this and isn't just potential) contrast too.
>>287234233if overhaul they can work together. Like the first arc would have been a combined gojo saving their asses from being executed, and dealing with curse child plot, ending with geto's 'death' so kenjaku can claim the body. yuta leaves for a few months to train in africa (we have them sending messages), so shibuya can happen because disasters curses are fucked with someone who can output rtc and allows yuji to grow. execution can even play as a tragic star crossed thing.
>>287234233It could be a dual mcs. But magical girlfriend is a thing. Not sure how Rika could have worked out. Someone in the threads proposed that it would be a manifestation of a split personality of Yuta.
>>287232147 Bless you.Bro really typed out the government name like Raga’s about to show up to court. But yeah that’s him. The adaptmaxxing, wheelspinning, “oh you had a busted technique? that’s cute” merchant himself. Eight-Grip Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga aka Sukuna’s unpaid intern.
>>287234208>Yutafag trying to force his shit selfinsert as a tranny now
>>287234233It's called sukuita
>>287232294>>287234208>>287234233>Please yujiGODS like YutaNo way fag
>>287176476because basically nobody knows about it all. you can trust me on that one, she would receive same backlash as Toji had everyone found out that she dropped those ideas on him like Toji dropped that monkey shit and splattered Riko's brain right in front of him. hovewer in the end those 2 are to blame for the path he chose. nobody besides Gojo should be blamed for not noticing his degrading mental state. Geto would have killed himself instead of going on rampage without those two.
>>287229706nothing is gayer than having unironic tranny and a trannylover
I think the real intention is that you're supposed to hate Megumi. He's essentially the foil to both Yuji and Gojo. Two of the most likable characters in the series and are the complete opposites of Megumi in terms of personalities and mindsets.
I liked Geto's powers. was it only limited to japanese myths or could he summon european ones aswell?
>>287234973Disgusting
>>287235168I really doubt Yutas ability of getting hard besides the times when Maki is dogging him from behind.
