>Gege just offscreened Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Yuko and Hana deathsWTF dude
>>282552540HEROkuna? Our HERO
What killed the hype?
soon
No one cares
>>282554509I can't believe I'm saying this but Sukuna and Uraume are cute together, I wish they'll be reincarnated together and finally be the adorable faggot couple they were always meant to be.
Tsurugi next chapter
>>282554509I hate how KIDkuna mocks his bald uncle (Megumi)
>>282555255I really wonder if Gege will be a hack and make Tsurugi still excuse Maki. Like he was sick seeing all those corpses there, but Maki left an entire mass of children corpses behind
This chapter is creepy and a contrast with the previous cute one. I wonder if Tsurugi will just say FUCK THE PREVIOUS lesson after seeing this
>>282552540How did we go from a villain like this.
>>282555581To a villain like this?
Do we have proper TLs yet so I don't have to rely on schizophrenia?
>>282555302She didn't.
>>282555618Sukuna canonically fears the kozo btw.
Sukuna has no friends moment
>>282555673He still has Uraume and Kenny, kinda. Not really.
>>282555736Those are his simps
These fraudulent Aliens are gonna get dealt with by Old Man Ui Ui btw
>>282555673>Double sided accomodationSee how Sukuna had 2 cocks
>>282555808I don't get the hate for Maru
>>282556031JJK is a character fagging hatefest. It's its identity.
>>282555673>YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MOM I HAVE NO FRIENDS BECAUSE I'M BECOMING THE STRONGEST, OKAY? I'M GOING TO BE THE HONORED ONE, MOOOM
Do we have translations?
>So that's his name. Toge Inumaki. Finally, a worthy opponent...our battle will be LEGENDARY!
Yuka after eating the last finger
Yujibros.....
>>282560171He aged like shit...
>That finger you just ate wasn't Sukuna's>My work was far from over, so I had Ui Ui turn my body into twenty cursed objects, to be passed down the generations>My name is Yuji Itadori, and I will help you...Jujutsu Kaisen>[Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo: True Start]
>>282560672Same problem with what people wanted in Boruto, the new story shouldn't be just the old protagonists hijacking everything because they're stronger, that would be just fanservice. He could be a support character like Yuta, but considering the timeskip the most sensical choice is to have him dead.
He will be back, our fuarking hero. Just put the damn ring on.
If Tengen is immortal, why didnt she come back to life after she was retrieved post Sukuna fight?They had to use the husk to keep the barrier going a la Yhwach corpse for Soul King replacement.
>>282561511>>282561597It would be funny if they also use Gojo and Yuta's bodies now to keep the barrier intact, kek
>>282561597She's undying to time, being absorbed by Kenjaku and then sent to Sukuna killed her, probably because she isn't an actual cursed spirit, or because while absorbed she lost her ability to stall her fusion with the world using her barriers.
>>282560171Damn can't believe Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Inumaki and Todo got done in by a shota.
>>282552540>6 hours>35 repliesJust die, faggots
>>282561780Leaks were last thread and now we're waiting for the CHADslation little bitch
>>282561804>Page 9LMAOOOO
What will RESTORE the hype?
Manga doesn't feel the same without Gege's foreboding chicken scratch art.
>>282563518This. The new art style is nice, but it doesn't hit the way Gege's shitty art did.
>>282563211Real discussion
>>282563211Chadta also pregnant YUko, Nobara and Hana while Yuji and Megumi died being incels.
>>282561804>now we're waiting for the CHADslation little bitchThe TL was done in the leak thread, though...
>>282563211unironically nothing
Who will become the next Honored One?
I wonder if Gege is aiming for a more mystery horror vibes for Modulo instead of straight up fighting. First four chapters of JJK have fighting in them already while showcasing their abilities.
>>282565997Yuji can't do action, apparently Don't know why Gege picked him
>>282566060>Choose artist more proficient at drawing girlsIt's likely the idol manga but then something else happened
Ui Ui soul swapped with WHAT?
Ok, Iwasaki can't draw actionhttps://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.naver?blogId=borini20&logNo=220946966665
>>282566619>A whole lot of talking but barely any fightingIt's so gojover.....
>>282566673>A whole lot of talking but barely any fightingYou just described modulo
>>282566476>more people here guessing an Ui-ui soul swap instead of some dude skinwalking a kid especially with the face ripping offI fear for the IQ of the threads.
>>282552540>Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Yuko and Hana deathsHE OFFSCREEN CHARACTER DEATH! OOGA BOOGA ME ANGRY
>>282566890Unless the skinewalker becames more than a baddy of the week they beat in 1/2 chapters, I prefer it being someone we might know.
>>282563883>Yutajeet fantasy
>>282566890nobody cares about actually theorizing because it's dull, it's just joke shitposting
The hype is.....so deaded
>>282566890I don't think anyone legitimately believes it's Ui Ui, as his power didn't work like that.
Anyone who still has hope for this shit after that chapter is mind-broken,
The hype? dead and buried
>>282568982I don't think not even Yuji can save this. He is going to be there to just praise Yuta
>>282569037>He is going to be there to just praise Yutaas it should be, everyone loves Yuta here
I can't believe I'm saying this butWhere is the fujobait? Even KnY that had its own sibling MCs have fujobait in just chapter one
>>282569037Only if you are just looking for it, no character hyping their friends isn't a malicious ploy of the author.
>>282569183>Even KnY that had its own sibling MCs have fujobaitI don't think you know what fujobait means.
>>282569225Fuck off Yutard. Gege is way too transparent as proved by him seething at 2chanThe "prease rike this" is annoying
>>282569182Nope, not even if Gege uses Gojo saying that, Puta will always suck
>>282569568>>282569580is this gege guy with us in this room right now?
>>282569568Anon, so Gege has a bias towards Hakari as he used Yuta to glaze him? Or towards Todo, glazed by Sukuna? You're just repeating memes so much you started believing them.
I miss Yuji and Sukuna bros
>Yuji: Lend me some soul swapping, Ui Ui. This is a 90 yr old hag sorcerer I'm dealing with
>>282569746Me too
>>282568982Hype is so fucking dead no one bothers to draw Yuka and Tsurugi in the Jujutsu Uniforms
>>282569938There's just no fanart of the new trio with the previous trio. It's just so dead
Why do writers allow their protagonists to grow old? Killing them off or not showing their fate at all would be better. No one wants to see their heroes like that and it's not interesting, just pitiful.
>>282570220ExceptNone of the JJK cast were shown to be old except for YutaMaki. We don't even know what happened to the rest of them
>>282570220This is a very childish opinion.Growing old is part of life, you should learn to accept it.
>>282570220Sounds like you're one of those fags who liked Dragonball GT for reverting Goku back to being a kid.
>>282570855I don't know why people complain about chicken scratches. You can feel the tone unlike in Mojuro.
Is Gege into mpreg?
>>282570220>no one wants to see their heroes like that>their heroeslol
If you ever feel dumb, just remember that there are people who think Sukuna was holding back against Yuji after the eight Black Flashes
Modulo status?
so why exactly does this sequel even exist? shameless cash grab?
I'm going back on a time machine and tell early JJK readers that>Yuji will be sidelined by Gege's one shot MC named Yuta. Most of his arsenal is just black flash. >Megumi will always remain a weak jobber for the entire manga. He doesn't get to participate in the final battle. I will put all my effort to convince them that he's not going to be the strong edgy rival they thought he's going to be >Nobara won't even appear for half the manga until the last five chapters. >Stan Maki because she's the only female doing something
>>282572506Jump asked Gege to make a new jjk and he rejected lots of ideas and probably only chose this one because he doesn't have to write about Yuji and can keep shilling his retarded oneshot Honestly I think jump already dropped the towel with him, he is way too contrarian
>>282572586>>282572627Because Metropolitan =/= jujutsu KaisenMetropolitan followed Yuta, Maki, Panda and the salmon kid (Gojo was more extra). Gege wanted Yuta maki AND a Fortnite arc.Then the Editor was smarter and asked him to make a new trio and make Gojo more important, and show more Geto. It became a success and Yuji is more appealing both design wise and character wise. Gege hated this because he wanted the manga to follow Yuta aka his father. He was so triggered at jjk success he renamed Metropolitan as JJK0 to leech from itThen once he got money from the anime he got rid of the based editor. So popular characters were killed/sidelined, we had those filler characters used to shill Yuta and Manki and beloved characters forgotten.Then be made a huge timeskip to make sure beloved characters are old enough to be dead/useless so people don't ask about them Probably the most retarded, ungrateful author he didn't deserve the popularity
>>282572586>>Yuji will be sidelined by Gege's one shot MC named Yutathis never happened. You're totally delusional>Most of his arsenal is just black flashThis is a good thing, ma'am
>>282572627Please stop seething over your own headcanon.
>>282572627>>282572710So, this guy has a delusional, schizo headcanon about JJK that he feels compelled to push on people. But are you going to be tricked that easily. Will just reading a post be enough to trick you? Are you that easily tricked?Or do you base your takes on the manga and the interviews and reality itself?
>>282572710>he got rid of the based editorNo such thing. Jump has a habit of rotating editors, kind of like how idol companies switch around managers so they can gain more experience and avoid personal conflicts. Early JJK was carried by Gojo and Megumi not Yuji. And with Kimetsu ending around that time, JJK naturally became the series to pick up those readers so its success was almost inevitable
>>282572586The fact I Google search their names and it just so happens all three have>Why is Yuji so weak>Why is Megumi so weak>Why is Nobara so weak In their searches really speak a lot on how weak they ended up being. Possibly the weakest trio we have in shonen in terms of everything
>>282572905First draft had Megumi as MC before he changed to Yuji. It's obvious because Yuta was a oneshot MC whose story already ended.
>>282572951Or maybe it speaks to how retarded this fanbase is
>>282572951powerscalers hate JJK. They are a bit too simpleminded. It's why isekai has grown in popularity. "Never lose" "More powerful then god" Who fucking cares
>>282572951Endgame Yuji is a lot stronger than some WSJ protags. Nobara's CT is gimmicky but as long as she doesn't come into close range enemies. She's good to goAnd then you have Megumi. Honestly. He might be the weakest deuteragonist in power levels. Legit can't name anyone he can beat
eh I prefer gege's linework
Where did all the yujeets go? I think we bullied them too hard bros.
>>282573044>He might be the weakest deuteragonist in power levels. Legit can't name anyone he can beatBulma
>>282573041>>282573040Unfortunately. This fanbase is littered with powerscalers even though JJK isn't all that powerful. Which is ironic
>>282573064we knew the choreography was never going to meet Gege's standard either.
>>282573077Curse of popularity
>>282572939>Early JJK was carried by Gojo and Megumi not YujiGojo yes, megumi no. Yuji was definitely a better influence on early jjk than megumiThere's a reason why the original draft of JJK (not 0) had megumi as a protagonist but not the final version
>>282573077I unironically think Gojo isn't all that strong when you put him into other universes
>>282573135I don't know about that. He has nearly unbeatable hax
>>282573147Okuyasu could beat him
>>282573044>And then you have Megumi. Honestly. He might be the weakest deuteragonist in power levels. Legit can't name anyone he can beatI'm trying to think but maybe Bakugou? I'm not too well versed in MHA but surely Megumi has better ways to deal with Bakugou. Like he literally has a water elephant.
>>282573163Okuyasu could beat all of Jojo if he wasn't a jobbing retard. Also, only if Gojo does nothing at all.
>>282573080I'm a simpleton. First thing I like about a manga is the art, lines, and how action is depicted. whatever this sequel is doesn't meet any of that and the story is nonsense
>>282573044power level vs other series is totally meaningless
>>282573077I never get why JJK is dudebro powerscaler central. This is the one series where they shouldn't be hanging around because only like one or two characters aren't bums in some way (Yuta and Todo), the rest have their own failures
>>282573243Gojo
>>282573202The term is "connoisseur' and our taste can only develop after reading manga for years. I've talked to animeonlies and they don't even understand how clear JJK fights are. It's baffling.
>>282573257>Gets sealed in a box because he is literally a raging homo
>>282573277In canon he's straight.
>>282573277No, I meant that Gojo was what attracted themShould've been clearer
>>282573243Its because its hugely popular. We have all types here. ALL types.
>>282573243Todo lost his arm. Yuta is the only one who didn't lose anything. Quite literally the Isekai MC
>>282573343He's not all powerful so he isn't an isekai MC. Yuta is a one-shot MC. He already reached the top power tier and fought his final boss.
>>282573343Skill issue.
>>282572586>strong edgy rivalHe was never going to be a rival character, there was a complete lack of antagonism between the two, they were both willing to sacrifice themselves for the other.
>>282572586People like you can’t handle real underdog MC’s. It’s ok.
>>282573343He lost his first love
I do think there's some truth behind the whole hype aura and moments JJK is infamous for because Modulo ain't doing too hot if you take away those moments. Granted that could change next chapter but the artist isn't good at action.
>>282573401Yuji is everywhere and Yuta is only there as a plot device only to progress the story. They are literally just mad the Yuji isn't stronger than Yuta.
>>282573428The lack of a Gojo replacement in Modulo also filters a lot of people.
>>282573428>>282573477That's for the western. The nip side is different. They're still pissed off about the whole aliens thing. And Japan is a Yuji country so obviously they're not fond at the Yuta favoritism so far Funny enough. They're not screaming about Gojo's return but rather Sukuna
>>282573537The siblings aren't getting any love though. It's just Maru
>>282573428The art is too clean. Why it is technically good. It does lose the appeal
>>282573537The epilogue helped Sukuna a lot and him raging at Yuji constantly was funny so besides old Yuji they are also curious about if Sukuna reincarnated (some are saying the Sukuna as Yuji's grandkid memes too)About Gojo they obviously love him but they are not as obsessed with him as the western fandom
>>282574099>Some people saw this and still think Sukuna never took Yuji seriously
>>282573288In canon>my hear tells me otherwise to geto
>>282572586>Yuji will be sidelined by Gege's one shot MC named Yuta.False, Yuta is just a support character>he's not going to be the strong edgy rival they thought he's going to beHe never was
>>282572586>he's not going to be the strong edgy rival they thought he's going to beEven just watching season 1 would've made that clear. Never once the two actually compete with each other. There's a reason why Todo became the "rival" for Yuji instead
>>282574183People in general take too much the "Sukuna held back" as "Sukuna could have instadefeated everyone at any time".
>>282572586>there will never be a mission for every finger Yuji will eat before the execution>Nobara will never know what happened to Saori>Toge benched>Tsumiki will never recover and reunite with her brother>>282572710Had I knew that the thing I was drawn into in JJK was stuff Gege never liked doing and had already disposed of by time it was to be an anime, I wished I never clicked on the OP that came on my algorithm.
>>282573163Okuyasu jobs infinitely hard. He doesn't even live 2 seconds.Half of the reason people dickride jojo so hard is because of retarded author statements like "polnareff >>>>> lightspeed" which make no sense out of context and even less sense with context
>>282573243Because the entire series is about rewarding interesting applications/combinations of powers and rules lawyering.>Mahito's technique alters the soul, protecting him from damage>Yuji knows the soul because of sukuna, making him match up well to mahito>Nobara's technique also works on the soul, so she dunks on mahito tooThe series is absolutely full of shit like this. It makes you want to ask powerscalling type questions.
The main problem with Modulo is that the alien sucks ass
>>282574905The aliens aren't really part of the story for now, beside Malu, it can't be their fault.
>>282575069Should have been some fucking cursed guy, why aliens?
In reality, the actual rival for Yuji is actually Sukuna.
>>282573044Power scalers between series are ridiculously autistic - especially when retarded mangakas will add feats randomly without thinking about the power implications and then powerscaling retards will say "I calced that at multi continental"In terms of intelligence and strength, megumi seems about on par with midgame yuji. He's just missing half a series of growth, like nobara. I think there's a reasonable chance he could have tamed makora if he'd developed his domain expansion by the end of the manga if he wasn't possessed
>>282554884They already were. Check Yuko's epilogue
>>282575339I don't think you understand what the "rival" character actually means. Mahito is more of a rival than him.
>>282575339This
>>282574099This is now Jijiji and kozokuna friendly sparring btw
I'm reading Sukuna cycle againd and yep, I can confirm that Kusakabe is still the best character along with Yuji
>>282572586>Megumi has 10 Shadows but he will only use 7
>>282577228>One shadow isn't even shown at all in the entire manga
>>282572586>Meimei does get away with everything>Somehow UiUi is the most important sorcerer by the end>Kusakabe actually does something>Fucking Miguel returns you guys
>>282577698Incest wins again
>>282572586>Kenjaku final battle is literally a joke fight Try convincing them this
>>282577858You can't, even I don't believe it.
>>282577858Nobody can't
>>282577858it gets even worse>Megumi's final opponent is a random fodder villain>Gojo's death is off screen>Yuji finally gets a domain but has no name for some reason>Nobara is the true wincon to beating the final boss.
>>282578024>>Gojo's death is off screenWe see him die, it's the killing blow that's just off screen for some reason.>>Nobara is the true wincon to beating the final boss.This was actually cool, as clumsy as it is.
>>282578024>Nobara is the true wincon to beating the final boss.This was still stupid. Could've just waited an hour or two for her to wake up. or let rika eat the finger
>>282578127Wouldn't have been effective when Sukuna still had his output and was spamming DA.
Imagine if nobara had woken up and started fucking with Sukuna during the gojo fight
>>282574831Plenty of scenes show that being strong doesn't mean much. Nobara's technique is way too OP but she's too impulsive so she made a fatal mistake and was in a coma for two months. Gojo is strong as hell but Kenjaku manipulated his gay feelings for Geto and put him in a box. Megumi having a strong technique is what put him in situations he didn't want to be involved in whatsoever. Toji is also very strong and smart enough to compensate for his weaknesses but he died because he thought he was hot shit that one moment. Geto was defeated by Yuta and let Gojo kill him because he used his curses all over the place and Gege said he would have killed Yuta if he only focused on him. I could go on. You could try to argue some nonsense like "Gojo and Geto are both special grades but Gojo would beat Geto" based on how Kenjaku did everything to avoid fighting Gojo despite having more techniques than Geto, except Gojo is a raging faggot so he would never seriously lay a finger on Geto. A lot of techniques work too well against specific curses and people as well so there's that rock paper scissors element as well, I'm sure Gege was inspired by video games when coming up with some of them and with black flashes.
>>282578724Agree with what you said except for Black Flashes or at least he didn't understand how massive a power of 2 and a half multiplier is. For reference, a hit with 5 damage will have 55 damage with a black flash. A hit with 10 damage is 316. A hit with 20 is 1788. That's ignoring the self buff it gives so that 8 hit combo Yuji pulled probably should've been dismembering Sukuna by the end of it.
>>282578724That's all well and good, but the series also goes out of it's way to point out that life isn't fair and characters aren't equal.Todo would be a grade 1 on the basis of his raw strength alone, on top of the fact that he has one of the best techniques in the series.Maki and Mai are both complete jobbers until mai sacrifices herself so that maki can become complete. We even see through Yorozu how busted creation is later onGojo is repeatedly stated to have changed the world just by being born, and the series rubs your face in how much he stands above other people just by existing. Gojo himself is also incredibly smart too, which brings that up even further, but kenny - likely the 3rd strongest sorcerer in the setting - completely jobbed to a fucking child with the 6 eyes in a past life.Obviously there are exceptions - yuji and mei mei in particular - but they are genuinely exceptional, and they have to work incredibly hard to reach the level that special grades exist at by default.I think asking "how could x beat y" is more interesting, and how gege would want fans to think about the series, but he also begs the question of powerscaling pretty often too
>>282578799Gege has said in interviews he has no idea, and he just thought it sounded cool when he wrote it>cursed energy starts at 1
>>282578893Yeah I remember that, what a silly guy.
>>282578874You're not really contradicting me. >but kenny - likely the 3rd strongest sorcerer in the setting - completely jobbed to a fucking child with the 6 eyes in a past life.We don't know how Kenjaku was like back then and whose body he possessed. I'd rather have a spinoff about his previous lives than a spinoff about aliens and Yutard and Maki's grandchildren but I doubt it's marketable in the WSJ given how much of a degenerate Kenjaku is and how the WSJ is way more family friendly than it used to be.
>>282578874>kenny - likely the 3rd strongest sorcerer in the setting - completely jobbed to a fucking child with the 6 eyes in a past life.He killed the chiled, just a new one was born.
>>282579009>Plenty of scenes show that being strong doesn't mean much. This is what I'm contradicting. Half the manga is about how strength means a lot and how only the strong have a choice.Sukuna's monologue at the end isn't "huh, I guess friendship WAS magic". It's "eh, I took the L. Time to try something else">I'd rather have a spinoff about his previous lives than a spinoff about aliens and Yutard and Maki's grandchildrenI actually thought about this as well.Imagine how fucking kino it would be to have a story in a different setting, only for kenny to randomly jump the MCs in one chapter totally out of the blue and then disappear. Doubly so if he used blood manipulation and had a different domain expansion.>>282579050That was a separate incident. He tried to kill a kid and then jobbed, so in a later life he killed the 6 eyes user as a literal baby (but then another one was born straight away, and had matured enough by the arrival of the star plasma vessel to spook kenny)
>>282554049Gege being in charge of story when bro could never fucking write in the first place.What else is new.
>>282579155If you think shibuya isn't well written you're genuinely retarded
The thought never occurred to me but is Kusakabe stronger Todo?
>>282580210They're both grade 1s, so of comparable strength. The adult grade 1s called him the strongest, presumably including todo.IMO a fight between them could go either way. If you know about the sword techniques boogie woogie disrupts them pretty easily
>>2825788931 unit squared is larger than 1 thoughbeit
>>282580708Units of different dimensions aren't comparable in that way thoughbeit
>>282581313It is sufficient in this case, actually
>>282582049I have no idea what you mean
>>282582066The total force is a function of curse energy applied and that energy increased exponentially
Where's the yuka chapter
>>282582213I'm talking about a mathematical principle called dimensional analysisYou can't compare an area and a number, because they're not the same unit. It's like saying 4 miles is smaller than 5 kilometers because 4 < 5 - you have to convert them to the same units firstBut if the dimensions are wrong, there's no way to convert them. 1m^3 isn't smaller than 2m.
>>282582250I'm talking about dimensional analysis You can compare 4 in. and 4 m. to determine which is the greater length through simple observation. The value of energy in the equation has squared and so the force is greater. Think of a joule which is a value that contains squared units.
>>282582402>You can compare 4 in. and 4 m.You can, but you can't compare (4 in.)^2 and 4 m.
>>282582433You can however recognize that 4in is less than (4in)^2. I find it easier too for this case since were dealing with energy instead of rigid things like length.
>>282582987No, it isn't.And energy^2 is just as meaningless as distance^2 in the comparison
>>282582987>>282583020And in case it's unclear to you why, let's look at the maths(4in)^2=16in^2, which is bigger than 4in right?But 4in=0.1m. So (4in)^2=(0.1m)^2=0.01m^2But 0.01<0.1So which is it? Is the area bigger or smaller than the length?
>>282569746Same
>>282578724>except Gojo is a raging faggot so he would never seriously lay a finger on Geto.Uhhhh didn't Gojo kill Geto?
>>282583167He let Geto do whatever he wanted for several years including scamming and murdering people. He knew nobody else was strong enough to stop him and that's why he's suspected of being his accomplice by the old farts after Kenjaku puts in the box. He only killed Geto when Geto fought Yuta and lost, and became so severely injured he was probably already dying of internal bleeding or whatever, or someone else could have executed him. It really looked way more like Gojo was putting him out of his miseries. If Geto managed to escape with only minor injuries and JJK0 wasn't a one shot I bet Gojo would have talked to him a little and let him escape again.
>>282583344homosexuality is a privilege afforded only to the strongAnd hikiari, for some reason
>>282583420That would explain everything about Sukuna.
>>282577858It was kino and better than the nonsense that the post-gojo Sukuna fight ended up being
>>282583529Nah it was cringe
I miss Yuta so much bros
>>282583436For Sukuna everyone is a woman so he is not gay
>>282583344>and that's why he's suspected of being his accomplice by the old farts after Kenjaku puts in the box.Wasn't that just them making up an excuse to ban him and most who support him after Shibuya?
why do people say yujeet when it sounds much closer to yuji than yuta kek
>>282583870I wonder if Gege would've been crazy enough to confirm that Sukuna did rape people for the hell of it if he wasn't stopped.
>>282583086Yes it is. 4in=0.1m. which is less than. (4in)^2=(0.1m)^2. Which can be easily observed.
>>282579247If you think Shibuya was well written you need to read more manga (and have a lesson on "show don't tell").
>>282578724>except Gojo is a raging faggot so he would never seriously lay a finger on Geto.Except that, you know, Gojo was the one who gave the killing blow to Geto in the first place?
>>282585494Which part of Shibuya was lacking in "show don't tell"?
>>282580325>If you know about the sword techniques boogie woogie disrupts them pretty easilyThat's if Kusakabe is dumb enough to use ranged attacks on Todo, we do also know that New Shadow style techniques can react automatically and quickly to the opponent, and we know he has no binding vow restriction to keep his legs on the ground like Miwa. Kusakabe is actually one of the few that Todo likely can't just teleport to their blind spot and hit them before getting counterattacked.
>>282584297I thought Yujeets always referred to Yujifags.
>>282585494We got a retard over here.
>>282585236This would be a great alternate universe OVA

>>282585494shit baitgenuinely garbage tierbe ashamed. do better
So a while back in one of the threads, someone made the comparison between Megumi to Orihime of Bleach as a joke but when I thought about it more there might be some merit to it actually.Now while they were right that most of the hate for her comes from Rukiafags mad that she got Ichigo, there definitely are a portion of the haters that are mad for her not reaching her "potential". Orihime has more than just being the healing and barrier bitch, she actually has an attack that theoretically be very powerful due to the nature of her powers being able to deny reality, unfortunately though she lacks the desire to hurt people so her attack power is weak and she has literally never used it since that time at the start of the Arrancar saga(likely also due to fear that Tsubaki gets destroyed again). Anyways I do think this also played into what led people to get mad at her while giving Rukia a pass for their similar circumstances as the captured princess, since Orihime still had her powers so theoretically she could fight back, some expectation that she'd get willful enough to reach the full potential of her powers to damage or even kill some of the bad guys.Nowadays id say most have accepted that she's really never gonna actually gonna showcase how strong her attack could have been and that she's only gonna use her shields and heals. Well at least the developed a counterattack shield that combines her attack into the shield but its not really her attacking something in full power. I imagine it also helps that Bleach didn't actually end after the Arrancar saga and people got used to her being more pure support rather than one of the main characters/fighters in conflicts that you might expect after the Soul Society arc and her having a bit of training against Rukia in the early parts of the Arrancar saga.
>>282586501cont. I think Megumi wouldn't be this much disliked if there was another short arc where either he's retired from the sorcerer life after all that happened or relegated to being a support character instead of being a main character due to how outclassed he's gotten, as well as Nobara perhaps. This has happened with some shounen, Bleach had Chad and Orihime not really be the main squad/fighters alongside Ichigo, Dragon Ball had Yamcha, Tien and Krillen become supporting ones when they couldn't really keep up in terms of power as well as the more serious tone of the series.
>>282586501>>282586697Megumi's concept is fine reallyPeople's main gripe with him is really because he did not help for Shinjuku. You know, the penultimate arc where he should not be a damsel
>>282587217Most of Megumi's complaints is that the average reader did not get the Point of his character since never once it has stated that Megumi did not intend to get stronger at all. But the lack of focus on him really does harm him. See Tsumiki. We never get to see from his PoV as to how he about all of this. We barely see interactions between him and Sukuna until the very end. For most of the time, he's just despairing out of nothing
>>282587275To be fair. was it ever stated Megumi did not want to get stronger? We only know his mindset setting him back. Hell, he was actually slowly working to those shikigami since he got elephant and bunnies along the way
>>282587275>>282587316While not stated from his mouth, his tendency to give up and tries to summon Mahoraga was his way of telling he never had the capabilities of being a top sorcerer. Yuji has no CT and is just a glorified brawler but he never gives up. Nobara is smugshit who jobs a lot but she has to confidence to fool them (I guess)
>>282587275I think it's more that people misplace their judgement as if the story beat of being possessed by Sukuna somehow makes his character worse. (A moment that both shows Sukuna's evil and fulfills the long awaited binding vow by somehow upgrading Sukuna of all people.)I can understand an angle of wanting to see cool ten shadows techniques but we got to see a special grade do it at peak performance against Gojo too which would never happen with Megumi
>>282587445That too. People clown on Megumi that Sukuna used it better but that was the point. You can never imagine him pulling the same tricks.
>>282586046
>>282580210Nanami could probably win vs todo
>>282587525And even taking it as a given that Megumi could eventually do all that, it is reasonable to say it would take a long time for him to reach that level. The plot was moving too fast for everyone to level up that much.
goBITCH died over 2 years ago, get over it.
>>282561511old yuta is handsome
>>282587575Todo can boogiewoogie their weapons away.
All I can say is that Megumi's body is laughably very durable for it to survive Gojo but Heian Sukuna is the one that gets put down
>>282543307>he FLED
>>282566060>Yuji can't do action, apparentlyAnd Gege can? Look at this crap: >>282569854
>>282552540Chainsaw Man part2 had a better start than this slop.
>>282587846Back then, I was wondering how can Megumi's skinny body withstanding all of those attacks
>>282587937>Skinny Not anymore
The trick to defeating Domi Reversi lays within the Davy Back fight
>>282587895I feel so bad for you. Manga really isn't for you. You'll never get it and here, on /a/, that makes me sad. Ganbare
>>282588047After reading things like Dragon Ball or Blade of the Immortal your understanding of visual storytelling changes and the bar goes up a lot, anon-chan. Someday you'll get it.
Uraume reincarnated as a boy and became Sukuna's osananajimi wife (male)
I think about how JJK ended before Naoya got to be animated. He would've been top 3 in polls
>>282586697I can't see that happening. Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, Orihime, and Chad were infamously unpopular. Megumi is the rare exception of a "useless" character being super popular. I'll be honest. I was surprised he was actually topping polls when you factor in his entire career during the manga. 99.9% of the time, that type of character would never be popular
>>282589155Megumi truly is an anomaly. But I think it's his design that carried him to the finish line. Also fujobait
>>282552540Everyone said this would be Boruto but it's more like Samurai 8.
>>282589155That's also why Gege can't get rid of him either
>>282589234Gege can't get rid of Megumi because he is narratively important despite being so weak. Only when the time is right that he more or less sidelined Megumi off the manga. But popularity also matters too. Him and Yuji are a package deal
>>282580210>The thought never occurred to me but is Kusakabe stronger Todo?Kusakabe would absolutely demolish Todo barehanded. He was throwing hands with Sukuna and sent him flying across the buildings in 1v1.
>>282589193That much is obvious. Megumi is linked to the most popular characters (Yuji, Gojo, and Sukuna) and his design is super easy to draw. He can be the weakest character in the manga and still be popular because he has connections. Same reason with Utahime but he's the more extreme example
finally some fujobait
>>282579096>That was a separate incident. He tried to kill a kid and then jobbed, so in a later life he killed the 6 eyes user as a literal baby (but then another one was born straight away, and had matured enough by the arrival of the star plasma vessel to spook kenny)I'm guessing the official TL was dogshit and misconstrued it.But no, he didn't job to the child. According to Tengen, Kenjaku lost to the Six-Eyes on two occasions.First time was just Kenjaku trying to stop the merge with Vessel, and the Six-Eyes beat his ass.Second time, because he realized the Six-Eyes was always gonna be far too strong, Kenjaku killed the Six-Eyes and the Vessel when they were babies. But on the day of the Merger, both showed up and the Six-Eyes beat his ass again.
>>282589686Forgot to mention, literally nothing is mentioned about the first time other than Kenjaku lost to the Six-Eyes.So this "it was a kid" nonsense is pure heacanon shit, or the official TL made up some shit.
>>282588921You like those? Really? They aren't just things you've heard about?Then you should try to read JJK then.
>>282589155I honestly think Gege wasn't expecting Megumi and Nobara to be so popular. Especially with how Yuta failed to be in the top 3 even with Megumi getting sidelined and Maki is only barely as popular as Nobara
>>282590177>Yuta seethe>headcanon for author's thoughts
>>282573135ORT completely shits on the concept of Domain Expansions.
>>282590272Yeah? Our lord and savior Jesus Christ erases Fate fans with a wave of his hand.
>>282590223>>headcanon for author's thoughtsThis is just par for the course with JJK-fans. Constantly headcanoning shit about Gege's mindset because they don't like how the manga progressed or because they take Gege humour as fact.
>>282590415I agree but it seems to be from haters, not fans. I guess the distinction isn't that important.
>>282590317Jesus jobbed to Rome which has inferior Saint Graph output to ORT, so ORT would absorb Jesus and instantly become a better messiah.
>>282577858It gave us Nurse Kenjaku so it's not too bad
>>282590868And it gave us their baby shark offspring
>>282585236This one or Blobkuna being forced to live adventures with the trio would have been kino
>>282589655>Tsurugi torn between being in love with Maru and being in lust with CrossSign me up, sister
>>282589484
>>282585236Man imagine if Sukuna reincarnated as a teacher and has to hide because of the Sukuna footage
>>282589155>character being super popularthis is a fujo manga. But putting that aside, do we know if he's still very popular? Because I've seen him receiving a lot of negativity lately, from the last arc until now. I mean, maybe the fujos still like him because of his relationship with Yuji and his dad. But for the rest, are we really sure he's still popular?
Friendly reminder that Todo believes Yuta had a great taste in women compared to NPCgumi
>>282591571Someone post the ratio of views and likes to the character preview for Yuji, Yuta, Choso and Megumi.
>>282591571>fujo has opinion. You're always wrong. Try caring about canon for a single fucking moment
>>282591764CG part 1 is filler though
>>282591689curse fucker and lolicon is definitely not boring.
>>282589155>Krillin >infamously unpopularWhat
>>282591571His fanbase has always been fujos though. He never has powerscaler fags backing him up.
>>282591571I think he lost all of his male fans assuming they still exist during Shinjuku. Never seen a guy who likes him anymore so yeah. It's just fujos
>>282591571Western side. He's probably losing the most fans. Japan side. Not really. They don't really complain about his wasted potential. And this is them having full knowledge of Potential Man. In fact, the only meme he has in Japan is Mahoraga.
>>282591930Megumi is very hard to like for the average fan. The fact by the end of the series. He has more negative moments than positive moments soured his overall reputation. Potential Man aside.
>>282591947You definitely need to be above average to appreciate Megumi. >durdurdur HE DIDNT GET DOMAIN EXPANSION
>>282591967Bumgumi is a freaking male heroine aimed for female readers. No amount of intelligence would make a normal straight man to like Megumi
>>282591947the typical straight male fan would absolutely hate him. Or just any Gojo fan really
>>282591980That's the dumbest thing you could possibly say.
Every JJK community I've been just flat out hates him. Where are you even seeing his fans? I thought Shinjuku killed all of them
>>282592005Gojofags hate every character but Gojo, it doesn't matter. Even nips know he won't come back
>>282591947Megumi in his entirety is still an anomaly>10 Shadows but never bothers to train it>He's not a rival. But not a friend either to Yuji>His actual shining moments in battles are against fodder>Never has a goal. >Doesn't even fight in the final battle. Just flats out gives upWith all of this. You gotta wonder how this character won two popularity polls. And with the final one where he was the most Infamous. He's still top 3
Holy kek. they are having the exact same conversation AGAIN. It's gotta be the 12th time by now.
>>282591811Krillin's only saving grace is nabbing a hot chick. Otherwise. He's a big loser
>>282592063Not gonna lie, he is very unlikeable
>>282592095Gotta be on repeat by now>I like Megumi.>REEEEEEEE NOBODY LIKES BUMGUMI POTENTIAL MAN FRAUD GRADE 3 Curse>Megumi sucks. He has no fans left>Actually. He still has fans. You're just in echo chambers
HEROkuna when
>>282592063As a character. He did fulfill a narrative purpose that having a strong power doesn't mean shit if you're not strong and dedicated. And he gets punished for it He's just not a character people should idolize. But I think that's what made people hate him so much. They get too attached to these characters.
>>282592063He's Yuji's friend, chimera shadow garden is a shining moment, he had a goal, even if badly written, and after being roused by Yuji he fights in the final battle.
>>282592125What do you like about Megumi
Megumi never once suffer a fatal injury or a dismemberment if you think about it. >Yuji: Heart ripped out. Finger removed>Gojo: Sliced in half>Nobara: Eye removed>Maki: Shish kebab >Yuta: Lobotomized >Nanami: Shish kebab and then exploded>Todo: Hand cut off>Panda: Head cut off The most damage he definitely felt was Mahoraga's slap. But the rest of his enemy encounters. He either beats or survives
>>282592213He's a good character. Practical and not a goody two shoes. Good power. Serious. Contrasts Yuji well.
I do think they should've fought together one more time. I don't mind if they didn't fight each other at all. There's nothing that would initiate that but the lack of teaming up makes me question why they're even the main duo.
>>282592252>Practical>SeriousI don't see how that's rare in the cast.>not a goody two shoesHe seems more like a goody two shoes to me than an edgy or gray guy.Actually, I think Yuji has moments where he's much more gray than him.>Good powerNot my favorite, but it's not bad. Even if he haven't mastered it...Anyway, could you point out moments in the story where those aspects you mentioned become noticeable? please
>>282592307Technically. They did but not really>Megumi vs Yuji (Yujikuna)>Yujikuna vs Mahoraga (Megumi's shikigami)>Yuji vs Megumi (Meguna)Yuji is never the type of person to challenge Megumi to a fight. Much less so for the other boy since he's fully aware Yuji can beat his ass easily
>>282592307People still think they're rivals. Guess how well that argument went.
>>282560171I can't tell if this is shitposting or not is that actually Yuji's skeleton?
>>282592394Shitposting. It's the shota's mother whom he actually killed
>>282592332I don't judge character's based on rarity. What a silly criteria. Megumi brutally kills the mooks in the CG once he knows Yuji already secured the rule change they needed. Right from the start he confronts Yuji to talk him out of the impractical sentimentality of retrieving the son's corpse. It's his big thing. He is not a hero. He "chooses who to save" That's another part that contrasts Yuji. They play well off eachother
>>282592163Gege went a bit too much on the subversive side because. Look at the other three >Yuji eventually did gain his power ups in the end and lands the final blow to Sukuna>Gojo eventually went out dying like most anime mentor figures against the strongest enemy >Nobara eventually helps out in a crutch moment Megumi just stayed being useless til the end. Like not even a surprise Complete Domain Expansion. There's being subversive and then there's Megumi.
>>282592095It's either this or Gojo vs Sukuna shit all over again, until something highly exciting happens in Modulo at least. (which seems unlikely, but I'd be glad to be proven wrong)
You just know people would just say Tsurugi is the better character because they were that disappointed in Megumi no matter what Tsurugi does in Modulo from now on
>>282592423I don’t like calling a character that’s completely different from other standard characters a "subversion". Makes it sound like Gege trying something new is a bad thing.
>>282592467Tsurugi needs to pick up some slack, because he’s not better than early Megumi.
>>282592467Tsurugi has HR. He literally cannot fall into the same pit trap as Megumi Wanting to be like Manki is also way more manageable
>>282592423Wouldve been kinda cool if in the end Sukuna manages to pull a domain expansion, but then Megumi sabotages the domain and it created the complete Chimera Shadow Garden with Sukuna/himself as the guaranteed hit target.It wouldnt even be a massive asspull since Megumi share memories with Sukuna and whatnot
>>282592448>Something excitingBabykuna soon
>>282592411Hmm, I still don’t think it’s enough because the character didn’t achieve his goals and was underwhelming in the story. But you posted some valid points about why someone might like him. I respect your opinion.Although I’ll keep trashing him in these threads every now and then tho
>>282592467Next chapter will make or break Tsurugi considering this is only like 20 something chapters. And the next one is the 5th chapter
I still don't believe people were this obsessed with Megumi's failed potential when every JJKfag I've met can't stop rambling about Gojo/Yuji/Sukuna. I refuse to believe anyone was simping for him when much better characters were shining all this time
>>282592573People were still hoping he's a late bloomer and would eventually show skill or at least be a key factor in defeating Sukuna, but then he gave up and essentially only came around when Nobara sealed their victory.
>>282592615>People were still hoping he's a late bloomer and would eventually show skill or at least be a key factor in defeatingEh, that would have ruined it for me. I mean, I already consider him a bad character, but losing in life made him interesting. I’d rather he stay like that than be another Nobara who conveniently saves the day at the last second
>>282592638>Eh, that would have ruined it for meWell have you considered you're the minority with this kind of take? Lots of people were clamoring for him to do something to help throughout the whole fight and him giving up was the nail in the coffin for his reputation. Basically you're saying you liked how shitty his life turned out while his actual fans wanted him to have some good showing or at least not be a total hindrance to the good guys seeing as they were putting their lives on the line to save him instead of just killing Sukuna whenever they had the opening to hit him.
>>282552540Time has changed, if a legit piece of shit like Dandadan can succeed then JJK Modulo will succeed too. I expect JJ4 Yuta grandkids adventures in 6 months
How would you guys react if the aliens plot was set in post-CG/Shinjuku arc of the Original JJK instead of modulo?
>>282592573it's just an easy topic of discussion for a few anons
>>282592063>>282592163The thing is that. Megumi is still a protag and as a protag. You need to give a reason for people to keep rooting for such a person. Him giving up, despite how narratively fitting that was, really made people feel bitter about him to the point they wish death upon him no matter what. Look at the sequel. Nobody is hoping he would return being successful. Immediately, they all think he died to a low grade cursed spirit or some pathetic death. His rep is literally ruined for good.
>>282592573I meanHe's in the story for almost all of his run so you gotta wonder what Gege has in plans for him to keep him around....or rather. What he did not do with him.
Yuji married YukoMegumi married Hana
>>282583925Yes but they came up with this excuse because it made sense out of context. If you're some random sorcerer who doesn't personally know Gojo or Geto you'll ask yourself why Gojo waited this long to kill him, there's something going on right? Nanami and Shoko knew them and didn't give a fuck either because they lowkey agreed with Geto that being a sorcerer is a shit job.>>282584363If JJK were released around the same time as Bastard I can see it.
>>282592063>But not a friend either to YujiYeah you're stupid. They become very close friends and Megumi even compares Yuji to his big sister that he basically worships at the end of the manga.
>>282589686>>282589738Fair enough
>>282592573They're ranting about those three exactly because they are the ones Gege better developed, while Megumi was relegated to a dark abyss for most of the Shinjuku arc. If you think about it, he's the catalyst of the entire plot, since he's the one who begs Gojo not to kill Yuji in the very first chapter (and this is what the fujo use as reference when fangirling about Itafushi). He's shown as the lonesome, but actually kind boy who cares a lot about his sister, but can also be harsh when he needs be.Sukuna senses his special technique and the fact he can repress him, and it's immediately obssessed with taking over him instead of Yuji, so everyone was wondering how things would proceed. When Sukuna does manage to possess him, he simply disappears. He's never shown fighting against him, in fact he even REFUSES to be saved, and only has a sudden realization at the very end, and when he finds out Gojo killed his father, he laughs about it. He's a non-character, while everything in the first chapters hinted at him CAPABLE of becoming something more - not a super sorcerer, but at least an important figure.
>>282555302>"Excuse"What's there to excuse? Why are you retards suddenly acting like you care about her shitty irrelevant clan and the one note characters that she killed?Has your contrarianism for Maki reached the point where you're trying to use the massacre of the clan as ammunition against her?Who gives a shit about the kids she slaughtered.

>>282594683Megumi is technically an important figure. Just not an active one. Think of him as the literal princess of the storyAll the important figures are linked to him but he barely does anything to justify that. Hilariously, he has a power that has animals fight for himAnd Yuji is his Prince Charming while Sukuna is the Evil King or whatever
>>282595070I didn't mention Choso retard, that was the other anon. I mean like literally so many other murderer characters this series.

>>282560134she becomes off brand baiken?
>>282594700Maki's character became as one note as the clan's members after the massacre regardless. You don't need "ammunition" when she is genuinely a garbage fucking character. At least if there were some consequances or self reflection on the massacre for her it would have made her a little deeper than a puddle. Instead she just became a stoic Toji clone but with none of the characterization that made Toji interesting.
>>282601763It doesnt help both Yuta and Maki just kill anything interesting>Gojo clan is reduced to Yuta>99% zenin killed by Makis femcel evanescence arc>Even Yuta got Kenjaku skill
