Chapter 4: The Boy Who Kept Repeating
>>282622469Maru comes off as a bottom but he definitely would dominate Tsurugi in bed. I wonder if Yuka would enjoy watching them?
Are you excited for some action next chapter?
>>282622847>Old guyWAITTHIS IS A GOOD THING
>>282622847This is where Yuji finally comes in.......
Animal abuse
>>282622335>Watering the frogCute
>>282622847Why doesn't the artist ever get to elave a comment?
>nothing happens the chapterI wanted to see more of Maru's brother making interaction with Tsurugi
>>282622847I don't trust this statement....... It could really just be some random old guy
>>282622788This is a small detail but I like how Yuka and Tsurugi takes off their layer of clothing whenever they feel too hot or sweating from working which has happened in the prior chapters. I always like the tiny nitpicks from Gege sprinkling in realism to his characters.
>>282623147They take turns leaving comments. Last week was Yuji's comment
>>282623296>Last week was Yuji's commentSay iwasaki. Calling him Yuji feels weird
>>282622847Finally, Oldji and his edgy grandson, Sukuna
>>282622847>two chapters in a rowOldji and Oldgumi? Or Oldbara?
>>282622847I'm more interested in that fucking author's comment than the actual chapter
>>282622847>it's old man ui uipost yfw
>>282623588
>>282622847Don't get your hopes up. It's not going to be old man Yuji
>>282622847Yep, yepYuji in chapter 8 confirmed
>>282622847I just realized it's actually referring to this chapter where the Ui Ui lookalike is just some old dude. Lame
>>282623676I suspect Yuji looks 40 or something because of his genes. Gotta laugh if he actually looks like Sukuna
>>282622684Nobarabros....
>>282623755what else would he be referring to?
>>282623755>two chapters in a row Prepare for disappointment
>>282622847Megumisisters....he is bald and fat now...
>>282623780I expect Yuji to look like 4 arm Sukuna at the end of JJK but without the 4 arms and disfigured face. I do not believe at all Yuji will be some wrinkly old man, it would be such a waste to turn him into one when Yuji has special blood in him that can justify him to still look young.
>>282622588stop talking about yuta
>>282624040You mean bald and JACKED
>>282623564holy smoothbrain. Gege is referring to this chapter and chapter 3.Remember how the man-eating shark in the forest was just some old man? Pepperidge farm remembers.The chan's reading comprehension is getting worse per day..
>>282623780>>282624043If this is true Yuko won hard
>>282622335https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPtAiLxBDh4
It's gonna be a db gt situation where Yuji has kids and grandkids but he looks young because he trained inside the prison realm
Poor yuka getting sidelined so tsurugi and maru can be the main characters.Fujo manga
>>282624258>tsurugi Being male does not protect him from getting sidelined......
>>282624181Yuka and Nobara*No way Yuji settled for just 1 women
>>282623011I wish Maru would pee in my mouth.
This artist has been avoiding any sort of real battling. Why the fuck is he the one doing the art?
>>282624181Yuko always wins>>282624322Kys Nobaracuck, Yuji is traditional
They're clearly in a series of low stakes situations to stablish the new status quo and new characters. Bringing back old characters or focusing on them would overshadow the new stuff. All of you expecting Yuji, Megumi, Sukuna or whoever else to appear, at least this soon, are setting yourselves up for disappointment.
>>282624411This. I suspect they may appear in the last 3 chapters or so to help them then disappear
>>282624411isn't this gonna be like 20 chapters?
>>282624181Yep
>>282624411I mean. This manga is only like 20 or so chapters?
>>282622277>>282622335>>282622368Maru is too cute.>>282622499It's interesting they have their own name for shikigami, I wonder if we will see an alien who uses them, and how they call cursed energy, considering at the start they notice how in this world it was called that.
>>282624411It's not making a good impression so far. Say what you want about Boruto but it has a way better start.
>>282624411Only fags with low attention spans care only about old characters returning. Gege made it clear he wants to build up these main characters and write a short story about coexistence. I dont even believe this manga will end in some large scale fight on the same length of Sukuna tho I do expect a major fight to happen but the end results will be Simurians and Humans coinciding with another sequel announced.
>>282624468>>282624599>believing mangaka talking about lengthone piece is close to the ending this time for real! and your favorite manga got axed early even though it had several hundred chapters planned
>>282622751Maru keeps being cute and Tsurugi's smirk was adorable, considering how he usually is.
>friend making me watch Jujutsu I'm on episode 9. this shit is not working for me at all. >chosen one with retard strengthehh. does this get any better or am I just going to have to ride out season one and hope he lets it go. >jogo was buggy that was fun, noticing that at least.
>>282624683I can see jump getting jjk different parts every 2 years or so. Magazine is dying
>>282622847>>282622954>>282623437>>282623464Anons, he's referring to last chapter, with the shark, and this, with the old sorcerer skinwalking a child.
>>282624537
>>282624742Turn off your brain and watch the pretty fights. That's the appeal.
>>282624749And all of that will be YutaMaki content. The original main four? only reduced to cameos
>>282624840If only Gege didn't have such a shit taste
>>282624742s1 is the worst part of the series. s2 is a lot better, but if you still don't like it at all by the time you finish s1, just drop it
>>282624839Ah, shit.
>>282624043I seriously doubt it, the story is meant to be on the new generation, it's about cohexistance, wich means superior firepower isn't solving everything, but it's still difficult he will put someone completely superior to the other good guys. I doube he wants to end up in the Boruto situation where the old gen is the one who fights all the important battles until the timeskip. By now I half-hope literally every old-gen beside Megumi and maybe Hakari come back just to job, because of how unsufferable their fandoms are
>>282624081You are seriously obsessed.
>>282624919>SpoilerI get the first person since he desperately needs an update. But the second? He's the one that needs Ls
>even twitter stopped caringit's over
>>282622684Megumi!
>>282624919Yeah yeah get Gege didn't bother to make the protagonists Yuji kids
>>282624839Turning your brain off for JJK is how fags dont understand the series. JJK isnt a "turn your brain off" series like you fags want it to be.
>>282625001I see some coping he would come back just to confirm he still has his shikigami......except the last chapter of the OG manga already confirmed that since Sukuna sacrificed the dog but he can still use it meaning the ones he only lost were white dog and snake
>>282625001The second at least isn't constantly going "if he was there he would be blowing up all the aliens, despite his narrative role, the set up of the plot and his personality not making any sense with it.If it isn't clear I feel it particularly with the Yuji fandom, who constantly ignores his characterization to make him into a "Badass" Psycho murderer.
I hope oldji and grandson Kuna memes become real, even nips are memeing with it
>>282625116>Spoiler You'd think Yuji would have the chillest fanbase since they're always made fun of because of his "fake MC" status but I've seen them feel very bitter towards all possible characters.
>>282625187I don't want those memes to happen, but I wouldn't be against seeing Sukuna's reincarnation as a cameo.
>>282625196You say this as if Gojo fanbase isn't even worse unless you are that Yutafag constantly licking Gojo fags anuses
Adorable
>>282625196 Nah, the ones with the chillest fanbases are Nobara and Megumi, especially the latter since they never trash any other characters because their "GOAT" always get made fun of.
>>282625196At least on Reddit I found the echochamber coddling him far more than most other protagonists, if you imply that he hasn't the potential to surpass Sukuna, because of both narrative and practical reasons, and because the one who said that was Uraume, who knows nothing of the situation and was just saying it randomly after hearing he was the grandson's of Sukuna's twin, they tell you how dumb you are, that obviously that line was there for a reason and similar. Same for when people try to say Maki can win against him, for some reason they completely miss the point of what is the different power from Gojo he has and only care about him being the strongest, wich shows how they never were interested in the plot and theme of the story, just in overanalyzing Gojo.
>>282625230Of course he is, which is hilarious since Yutafags were the first ones happy to sideline Yuji, because apparently the manga needed to be about Yuta AGAIN and not Yuji nor his family story, of course they also got the old Yuta and Maki introduction and of course the manga follow their kids, who also want to be like them, yet they get mad if fans of other characters want to get SOMETHING for their favorite characters, this is after they ate well of course
>>282625196 I wouldn't exactly blame them. Considering chapter 1 and even until now glazed Yuta while the most Yuji got was just him being on the same level as Gojo (You'd think this is enough but apparently not)
>>282625351Nta, and I like both Yuta, Yuji and Gojo (even if less after seeing his fandom for too much), liking multiple characters isn't bootlicking.
>>282625456NtaYuta isn't particularly glazed, he's an objective to reach for the protagonists, but both him and Yuta were talked up when they were mentioned.
>>282625464No, you are some opportunist bootlicker forever seething at Yujifags if they dare to complain about Gege mistreating him
How will the community when it the aloen guy said to be sukuna level turns out to be sukuna level and not a bum
>>282625524won't happen, because if he's really sukuna-tier, there's no way this cast would be able to beat him, especially not within 20 chapters
>if Megumi appears as a virgin megumiboys will be even more disappointed >If Megumi married Hana fujos will rope>If Sukuna get some attention Yutafags and Gojofags will be mad since those are his biggest haters and get triggered with him>If Yuji reappears Yutafags will cry>If Sukuna appears gojofags will be mad>If Sukuna doesn't appear Sukunasisters will be mad and all their reincarnation theories will die >If Yuji doesn't appear Yujifags will be mad >If Yuko appears nobarafags will be mad>If Yuko doesn't appear that one (1) Yukofag will be mad
>>282625566Nta, they could either fight him with circumstantional advantages, like Cross betraying him, techniques wich counters him, something nerfing him, they could not fight him at all, or the fight might be stopped by external intervention, or they might receive asspull powerups (I don't even know what they might be, even Rika wouldn't be remotely enough).
>>282625598>If Megumi married Hana fujos will ropeI want this to happen. I don't care if he loses all of his remaining fans. Him producing a kid and having sex would've elevated him further away than Eren and Deku on the loser scale
>>282625524Jesus christ i had a stroke writing this wtf happened
>>282625598I like Yuka, Tsurugi and Maru but I miss these 2 retards like you wouldn't believe
>>282625671I would still like him, him marrying Hana doesn't meaningfully affect my enjoiment of his character, I would just be happy for him.
>>282625498Yuta is glazed as fuck come on
>>282625467I wonder if the LN will be about the Heian era, I wanna see a Yuji like Sukuna becoming evil
>>282625752Not particularly? They mentioned that he was strong and want to reach him, that isn't glazing, that's a normal things his nephew would say, like Boruto wanting to be like Sasuke. The old generation being admired by the new and weaker one makes sense.
>>282625848He is glazed as fuck ever since the previous manga. It's easy for you to say since the grandkids arc is about wanking your favorite characters
>>282625830I doubt Sukuna was ever as good as Yuji, but yes, seeing him surrendering himself to the cycle of cursing and being cursed would be nice.Also I would really like to see more strong sorcerers with new technques used in interesting manners, and if possible Tengen/Kenjaku lore.
>>282625869In the previous manga he was the strongest of the good guys bar Gojo and was treated as such, but every good guy received his dose of wank (Todo having the perfect mindset for a sorcerer, Hakari being a monster different from the others, and even being wanked by Yuta himself, every single thing Gojo said on all his students).
>>282625902I think he started as a good kid till his mother and society treated him like shit. Sukuna is like that shounen mc who never met friendship so he became a villain. A Heian spin off could follow him growing up, meeting characters like Kenjaku and fighting a lot of different sorcerers. I think Gege had it in mind seeing how we don't even know who that miko woman is so maybe he want a better writer to write about it (then it could be adapted to manga or anime)
>>282626169I thought he never developed that way, because he never had someone like Yuji's grandfather, but I can see it too.
>>282625598I want a lot of these to happen
>90 year old Ui Ui is still alive huh? I better keep my ass in this spaceship or I'm finished!
>>282622815I'm invested in what's going on with this kid but wasn't this meant to be a short series, it's seemingly awfully episodic for that
>>282626537INCEST WINS AGAIN
2ch JJKM threadhttps://may.2chan.net/b/res/1354839060.htm
>>282626537Imagine being scared of fucking Ui Ui of all people
>>282622335>Sorcerers have fallen so far instead of fighting curses they deal with retarded children I think warlocks are fucking gay and we should go back to curses
>>282626813Reincarnated Mahito turning Yuka into an armless/legless sex doll
I'll be shocked if Tsurugi jobs somehow. Standards are so low, I don't think he should be losing
>>282622269Modulo? More like Boringulo
4 chapters in and we still don't know if Yuka has an actual curse technique. I suppose this upcoming fight with Takeda would be the perfect time to showcase it though
What's with all the filler chapters
>>282627018Of course she has a technique, she just didnt need to use it yet
>>282627136not everyone has a low attention span like you
>>282626958The average Megumi opponent>Special Grades that severely outclasses himThe average Tsurugi opponent>An old man disguised as a small kid
>>282624140The tojification of Megumi.
>>282627136This kind of episodic adventures during wich they get closer to Malu are fun.
>>282622815Pace your bets. Is this>another villain of the week>a more important one that will stick around to half way or more of the series>major main antagonist
>>282627273I honestly think Cross is going to end up being the real main antagonist. The Simurian King just screams overhyped jobber that exists to be a distraction from the real guy pulling the strings
>>282627273>>282627338Cross is the Sukuna. King is probably just their mahoraga or something
>>282627235Schizo theory is that Megumi always has HR within him. It's just that it didn't actually boost his offense but rather his defenses.
>>282627681Maybe it also hampered his CE control or output, which is why he couldn't make his domain work and generally not get far with his CT.
>>282627273>>282626537Why are Maru and his brother's third eye horizontal but the scary Sukuna-level's third eye is vertical?
I think fanTL are better for now
>>282628016*Sukuna-level alien's
>>282627338Yeah, Cross will probably try to kill Maru so he can pin it on the humans and have an excuse to invade.
>>282622847I missed the cat so much. He's my favorite mangaka
>>282624043Spic brain. >>282627681Megumi doesnt have HR. These theories arent even theories. A theory needs to line up with the logic of the world it's coming from.
>>282625102They spread that message everywhere then say it's too confusing to understand when in reality, if you read at a 4th grade level you should be able to understand JJK.
>>282628146Nta, and while yes, they're barely theories, remember that HR isn't necessarily not having cursed energy.
>>282628303You can't have HR without giving up something in the return holy shit are you dumb?
>>282627856Megumi is adept at his CT, and domain expansions are the elite of jutsu sorcery, even Geto who's regarded as a special grade sorcery never mastered domain expansion.>>282628303what evidence is there that Megumi had HR?
>>282628398*sorceror
>>282628374Yes, I guess their idea is an HR that reduces his control/ability to create barriers.>>282628398None, that's why I agreed they're barely theories, just something those two anons said.I don't believe it.
HR is just like the law of equivalent exchange. No idea how people are so confused about it
>>282628623>HR is just like the law of equivalent exchange.Is it tho? Toji can't into sorcery, but is stronger than 99.9% of sorcerers with shit CT's and low stats.
>>282628720But without a cursed tool he can't injure curses, and he will never be able to have the infinite utility of barriers techniques or similar things.
>>282626662japs like the sharknigga for some reason
>>282622335>treating Maru like shit is expected unless he's older than youWhy are Japanese like this?
>>282628720We have two glaring examples of how HR works with CE, mechamaru and without CE with toji/maki. Its very clearly based around that law.
>>282622847He's talking about the shark
>>282628811Worshipping older people even if they're only 5 minutes older than you isn't just a Japanese thing, it's very common in Asia and Africa and very retarded because they apply this to twins of all things.
>>282628773Up until Sukuna's reawakening, it seems like curse users were a bigger threat than cursed spirits in JJK. Jugo and Hanami were the first sentient curses that Jujutsu high sorcerors encountered in recent history. So Toji's HR doesn't seem like much of a restriction if he can still one shot curse users.
>>282624329Yuka...
So...this guy's a one hit wonder? I dont care about any of this lol
>>282628897Sukuna's reawakening is what sparked a growth in the strength of cursed spirits. Which is why the main group was sent after the womb even though thats for grade 1 sorcerers. They were short handed after yuji ate the finger. Curse users were scared of gojo. They were not outside doin shit all the time. Granny and old guy with the offset technique from shibuya confirmed this.
Reminder that Tsuguri will only give the ring back to his sister when he uses it to propose to her.
>>282628979We care.
>>282628979>i dont care about any of thisDoesn't matter what you think. JJK still the king of modern shonen. Cry about it
>>282628979It's a flop, ignore the shillers. This thread shouldn't even exist.
>>282622847>>282622815Old guy? It's not some zombie/reptilian-looking curse?
>>282629250the moment they talked about what the case was my first thought was old midget larping as a kid
Sukuna has 4 ballsacks so I guess aliens have 3 ballsacks
>>282629081KWAB
>>282622269
>>282631081Its funny thinking how disappointed all the Tik Tok zoomers are gonna be when there isn't Brazilian Phonk playing in the background during Hakari's Jackpot state
>>282631081Must suck having a one-time use CT that kills you
>>282631283It was a binding vow
>>282631328JJK fans literally don't read the Manga fucking hell
>>282629043Tsurugi's more likely to propose to Maru.
>>282631282Honestly that phonk goes so hard I think the anime should use it for that fight
>>282627338>>282627364>>282628088>forced to share a CE pool with his derpy golden retriever brother who won't be down with enslaving normies
Hakari and Uraume were fucking off-panel. It's the reason Uraume is shirtless in their final appearance together, despite the fact that pretty much nobody in this series ever loses clothing to combat damage, with Gojo's t shirt famously able to tank Malevolent Shrine.
>>282631721
>>282631760Uraume took of his robe, to start throwing hands with Hakari.
>>282622721Reminds me of Yuji talking about his childhood home
>>282631920Would Yuji and Maru be good neighbors?
>>282631794>Sukuna had to go for a cheap shot to beat Yuji
>>282622815Seems like it'll take even longer to find out what Yuka's tech is.
There's gonna be a dramatic moment later on where one of the siblings calls Maru Senpai
>>282622847I've been waiting for a whole month
The Curse User probably came up with that backstory to play on the Okkotsus' family history
>>282624742I am not 18 episodes deep and I really have to wonder who the fuck this is for. this is fuckin awful. I know i'm complaining about things you guys like but you have to explain it to me. >chosen one protag who the power of being unkillable and stupid strong but also has satan inside him>wacky sensei >cast of wacky powers that are all boring as shit, or used so straightforward as to be boring as shitI get that it's just not my thing but this seems like slop.
>>282632072ONEFINGER
>Yuji>Chosen OneWhat?
>>282624742>>282632409Look, anon BZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZTZZZZZT
>>282622815I've liked the return to early JJK when it was about solving local curses. I always wished Gege leaned into the more mystery aspect.
>>282632409it's self evident, jjk is one of those things where you should be able to tell at a glance if it appeals to you or not.
>>282624742>>282632409You needed to read the manga. Mappa made the anime. Didn't you see it in the credits? Its a terrible adaption.Though, if you think Yuji is a chosen one then you really aren't paying any attention in the first place.
Is this your goat?
>>282632765we don't give the shippers/yumes enough credit for their contributions to lobotomy kaisen i think
>>282632765>>282632793
>>282632485:( >>282632606Yeah true - I didn't want to watch it in the first place but now that i'm 18 episodes deep and apparently getting signed up for season two I might aswell at least learn how to enjoy it or why other people enjoy it. It's just battle shonen, I guess. >>282632479>>282632666>yuji>chosen one Gojo says that a vessel like him is once in a thousand years or some other shit in the first two episodes then decides to give him a second fingie and he still tanks it, along with his basic curse power being what if he was the hulk and also had no fear or hesisation meaning he's perfect for curse fighting. Am I insane here? just cause in universe they want to kill his ass that doesn't make him not a chosen one for the practicals of the story. No? Have I misunderstood whats going on here?
>>282632850>Am I insane here? just cause in universe they want to kill his ass that doesn't make him not a chosen one for the practicals of the story. No? Have I misunderstood whats going on here?There's a very good reason why Yuji is so "special" but it's spoilers. To stay vague, he's not a mary sue.
Is there anything she inherited from Yuta? Her CE pool seems average. Doubt Copy got passed down since he needed Rika to do it.
>>282633084Whatever it is, it won't be unlocked until she gets the ring
>>282632850Don't watch the anime. If you're consuming JJK it needs to be the manga. Mappa ruined every fight on purpose and they even ruined emotional character moments too, which are theoretically much easier for anime studios to pull off. They are incompetent and your experiencing that first hand
>>282633150i mean, has there ever been an anime adaptation that wasn't worse than the manga?
>>282633218Cobra imo
New art from the artist, Yuji Iwasaki
>>282633150what the fuck are you saying, the JJK anime had some of the best fights in anime as well as a great soundtrack
>>282633150>emotional character momentsWhy are you lying? There's no such thing in this fight faggotry manga
>>282633314Bait. But I like posting this anyway. Mappa ruined the fights too so, you already agree with the other half of what I said.Remember when Yuji broke down after Sukuna's massacre? Or how Yuji blamed himself for it and called his conviction to help as nothing more than a selfish excuse to postpone his execution?
>>282633487>>282633314>Remember when Yuji broke down after Sukuna's massacre?You're both wrong, the JJK anime does fights and emotional moments great, when Todo arrives to help Yuji against Mahito for example.
>>282633293Sukuna vs Mahoraga is already one of the coolest fights in anime history, you're correct. But it's a clear departure from the manga. In the manga, the fight is 100x shorter, Sukuna busts out Malevolent Shrine as soon as he realises Mahoraga can adapt, so he doesn't want him to adapt to the concept of slashes in a prolonged fight. Anime Sukuna extending the fight as long as he did makes no sense for the character
>>282622404Haha good old useless Mi...no?
>>282633293Man, this doesn't even look good. The characters are constantly changing sizes and this fight has all kinds of actually awful shit like the air boxing, cartoonishly grabbing a plane out of the sky and non-canon a shit like Maho regen after being turned into mist. I'm trying to help you open your eyes. Its fundamental. The fights in JJK or succinct and their actions are purposeful. The anime's corpo runtime requirment has them extending every scene with over indulgent slopes. What was an intelligent exchange where each blow matters is now a mess of flashing lights and stupid decisions for the sake of "looking "cool"". What was kungfu is now laserbeams. C'mon man. Be serious.
>>282633293Wait what wait a fucking second. The soundtrack? You dare say that when they ruined the biggest emotional moments of the season with their OP? You really thought you could sneak that in?
>>282633558This is a great point. Succinctly put. Its done smartly in the manga and stupidly in the anime.
>>282633558>Anime Sukuna extending the fight as long as he did makes no sense for the characterSukuna wanted to learn more about Mahoraga's adaptibility, that was the first time he actually saw Mahoraga after Megumi teased summoning him multiple times before, Sukuna planned on stealing Megumi's body and taming all of his shikigami, so it made sense to collect information about their strengths and weaknesses so he can best utilise them himself. And the anime having Sukuna getting giddy with the extend of Mahoraga's adaptibility and laughing like a maniac was kino. >>282633625I'm glad Mappa extended the fights, I don't know if you've watched season 2 but the poor quality webm I posted doesn't do the Sukuna v Mahoraga fight justice.

>yuji>chosen one>and a manga where gojo existsI...
>>282633647Malevolent shrine is great and the song that plays when Gojo gets flashbacks of Geto after seeing Kenjaku drives home just how much he misses him. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jHXOonoHTJg&list=PLtl3JfR2Ab6VmeWWPLik8xgTk6QFyzVBy&index=38&pp=iAQB8AUB
>>282633672Extending the fights, refusing to adapt the choreography in the manga and removing great action scenes are all examples of Mappa betraying the fans. Like I said earlier. It changes succinct and intelligent fights into stupid and flashy ones. They are so bad they're even a detriment to the story. I'll compromise and say it's fine as non-canon extra material but the newbie here >>282632850 has got to know its Manga only for the real JJK.
>>282633672It was kino, but doesn't make sense for someone with as high a combat IQ as Sukuna to do, which is why he ends the fight quickly in the Manga. Sukuna likes fighting, but he also doesn't always prolong fights when he doesn't have to. When he meets Ryu and realises ranged dismantles aren't enough to kill him, he just closes the distance and uses cleave to one shot him. Anime Sukuna would have a 10 minute fight just spamming flashy dismantles at Ryu for no reason
I've been reading JJK since 2019 and I've only watched 2 episodes of the anime. Sukuna vs jogo and Toji vs megumi. Fuck the anime
>>282633872Yuji and Todo vs Mahito and Yuji vs Choso are peak kino
>>282633558Sukuna likes to play with his food. Extending the fight because he's having fun is in character. Of course they were extend MAKORA vs sukuna. It's honestly not a terribly animated. The blue ray version is pretty decent. I still prefer the manga but it's definitely not OOC
>>282622469Tsurugi and Maru remind me of Wolfwood and Vash
>>282633909Fuck crappa for removing the bathroom door feint. Burn the studio down
>>282633289Maru's cheer is infectious, why is he so fucking cute??
>>282634280
>>282622815Actual action is on the way. Iwasaki's greatest trial is next week. Can he meet the mark even if he won't be able to reach the standard JJK set?
Not caring about this shit until gege himself draws it.>please care!!!>doesn't even have the decency to make it himself
>>282634325>the standard JJK set?Art collapsing and everything looking like chicken scratches with characters that don't even look like themselves?
>>282634159I had already seen people comparing Maru and Cross to Vash and Knives
>>282634372Deep breathes buddy, we're talking about the manga here. Please come back to reality.
>>282634315Going all out in the sequel btw
>>282634391Yes, the whole final fight against sukuna?Did it magically get better?
>>282634315Sukuna was holding back so much against Gojo that he took a quick nap to recover after Gojo git him with a black flash
>>282634280I hope him and Uraume already reincarnated
>>282634414It's the same as it was when it was released. Thats how things work in reality. Leave your delusions behind. You can do it.
>>282634242So you can get attached for when he will be sacrificed to awaken Cross' true power.
Im enjoying these slow laid-back chapters. I have a feeling once we delve deeper into the plot in the later chapters we will look back upon these early cute chapters and yearn for more once shit hits the fan.
>>282622596she would tease tsurugi about it and pretend shes not into it but would watch while hiding
>tsurugi you son of a bitchwhy are official translators so incredibly bad

>>282635001personality wise I see Yuka talking like that
>>282634802it all depends on weather or not people really connect with the characters
>>282622545I can already see Maru and Yuta's spawn will have a big falling out in the future. It'll be resolved of course, but not before some drama.

>>282632765he's my HUSBAND
>>282635423never
>>282635525True. True. All true
>>282634391>we're talking about the manga hereyes, yuji's skull shape changed every chapter, sukuna's weird half mask tumor thing did too, no one was drawn consistently or particularly well even with the few good panels the arc had
>>282632666>You needed to read the manga. Mappa made the anime. Didn't you see it in the credits? Its a terrible adaption.every issue from the anime in terms of writing, characterization and the power system comes from the manga, all they did was add more spectacle but the writing is the same
>>282635814>Actual action is on the way. Iwasaki's greatest trial is next week.>Can he meet the mark even if he won't be able to reach the standard JJK set?Here's the context, why are you talking about line work?
>>282635896No, even the writing is wrong. They remove things randomly like Yuji's frantic thoughts after Mahito's first DE. They also put side panel jokes front and center. They don't get the power system correct either. Frequently doing non-canon things and the extravagant fight extensions break the well established power balance in the manga. I can't believe you hate JJK so much you'll actually simp for M*ppa. Its clearly time to do some self reflection.
>>282635964>They remove things randomly like Yuji's frantic thoughts after Mahito's first DE.if the entire quality of the writing hinges on literally 1 random panel being changed then i think that the writing is genuinely not that good, specially because the anime had no issue depicting yuji being frantic and panicked in that situationalso>side panel jokes front and centerits an anime, every panel is put front and center, that's how animation works, unless you wanted a hulk 2003 situation where they actually put panel lines on screen to divide it>well stablished power balance in the mangadid you not actually read the manga
>Lend me your strength, Rika...this is 90 year old Ui Ui we're up against
>>282636022It would have been very easy to do it correctly but they were too lazy to even layer some audio. And no matter what excuse you give them, its another example of them getting the writing wrong. They do not need to put jokes front and center. It gets the feel wrong and ruins the pacing as well. That is why they were written without focus and off to the side in the manga. I'll reiterate that they also broke canon, just in case you ignoring that wasn't a concession. They had the ISoH block Red. Both a non-canon event and it didn't cancel Red, which is also non-canon. They also had Makora regenerate from being turned to red-mist. Non-canon. Mappa put in *more* effort to do this wrong. The power balance is well established in the manga and this is carefully and consistently maintained. Here's an example, which you can't provide. ex. Megumi vs Sukuna is ended quickly and Megumi breaks his fall with his Shikigami.
>>282636022People posted how they didn't get how anime Geto turned evil. Is this just because animeonlies are stupid? No! Its not just that. Its because Mappa couldn't portray his struggle correctlyand did ass backwards shit like make curse spirit balls look appealing. They were beautiful crystalline blue in the anime. They can't even get that right.
>>282636231the anime made it clear that the cursed spirit balls tasted like shit and vomit, and toji gloated how a “monkey” like him defeated a sorceror like Geto, that mixed with the star cult celebrating the death of Amanai and the villagers abusing his two adopted daughters out of fear and ignorance made Geto hate regular Humans
>>282636358That's what I'd say about the manga. If the director wasn't incompetent he wouldn't have made the curse spirit balls beautiful.
>>282636231>They were beautiful crystalline blue in the anime. They can't even get that right.It's weird because JJK0 and the 3rd Opening did have the curse balls as shit brown + black spiral.

>>282623324Why does it feel weird to acknowledge our HERO?
>>282624043You mean a buff Wasuke, right?
No hype and zero aura manga
>>282639475As explained in this page by Mino, the sorcerors overestimated the intelligence of the curse user, they thought an actually competent curse user wouldn't give away his cover so easily to the school teachers, so when presented with the possibility of a "child" awakening his cursed technique and panicking about his mother dying in suspicious circumstances Tsurugi believed the curse user.

>>282640380Yuji went from being "cursed" by his grandfather's words and fated to execution to seeing the value in living and just losing 2 fingers. I'd say that's a win.

>>282640784Nta but fuck off, Yutard.
>>282642923Nta, but he's right, Yuji's reward was saving his friend and living.
>>282642952>Saving his friend>Said friend is Megumi>But lost his mentor and brother in the processIs it really worth it? I mean, it's megumi of all people
noooooo we were supposed to get kozo and uncle vs aliens not this shit
>>282635742Geto...
>>282643049Yes, they deeply care about each other, and Gojo sacrificed himself for the next generation. Choso was a tragic loss, but necessary. As a bonus Yuji even managed to save Sukuna.
>>282643049He'll have sex with Megumi on a daily basis after that though.
>>282643049Well, the process also includes killing Sukuna so hooray?
>>282642952Yet Gege would never choose >Yuta doesn't need a wife nor a family nor be a clan leader just be okay that his friends are okayHypocrite
Yuji's reward is babykuna btw, his smiles (both of them) was really worth all the suffering btw
>>282643467Anon, those aren't rewards, Yuko and Maki aren't rewards for defeating Sukuna, they're girls who liked those two.
>>282643486Based
>>282643598Keep playing dumb, Yutafag.

>>282643486Sukuna only has a cute smile around his underaged boyfriend Uraume though. But Yuji's reward was Megumi's smile.

>ikuzo, Sukuna>Yes, Yuka-chan
>>282644617They're friends and she likes him as more than just a friend. We don't know if he likes her the same way. That's it.
>>282644551I think he did well on Shibuya for staying alive through all of that. Unlike say Nobara who had a concussion after one punch from fucking Haruta
>>282644551>>we're finally getting the season where Megumi isn't a jobberAs if having to fucking extreme-diff THE Reggie Star isn't still Jobber behaviour
>>282644896>I think he did well on Shibuya for staying alive through all of that.He got snuck by a literal NPC, tried to commit suicide to take him out, and got saved by Sukuna
>>282645039He won the fight. That's all it matters
>>282645039Reginald FUARKING Star
>Lend me your strength, Ten Shadows, this is a guy wearing receipts we're dealing with!
>>282645039Reginald Stars would've done better against Sukuna than Kashimo did.
>>282622788Are they communicating with jujutsu magic, or do they have microchip phones in their thumbs?
>>282644658>Yuta possessed by Queen of Curses>Yuka possessed by King of CursesI dig it
>>282645039>Reggie didnt even push Megumi to pull a MahoragaConfirmed weaker than the handblade curse user

>>282645381why would you have an implanted(?) sci-fi phone that still occupies your hand...
>>282645786So you know how to hang up?
He was the GOAT...
JJK next part will be about teenager Sukuna, loli Uraume, Megumi's adopted grandkid and their masters, Yuka and Tsurugi
>>282645874Sukuna never targeted Yuji with world dismantle btw, he knew Yuji couldn’t survive it. Kusakabe > Yuji
>>282645962>Sukuna never targeted Yuji with world dismantle btw, he knew Yuji couldn’t survive itSukuna was the coolest guy
>>282645953Uraume will be a shota. Screenshot this.
Did Gege ever explain why Sukuna was doing what he was doing? We know (kind of) that he accepted to have his fingers turned into cursed objects and traverse the ages to fill some kind of void in his heart and get revenge on a world that had always persecuted him. But what was his agreement with Kenjaku? "I will participate to the Culling Games and fight the other sorcerers you had an agreement with just for fun?"If the Merger happened, there would be very little for Sukuna to do, since all strong sorcerers would be dead and there would be no humanity left. When he woke up in Yuji's body he didn't even know about Megumi and his technique. I like him as a villain, but the explanation that "he's evil because of his past and just wants to have fun" stops having sense after a certain point.
>>282646353It doesn't, imo once you lived for too long or once you are too strong you stopped feeling. That was the point of Yuji chapter, that life was about the simplest things and only Yuji saw he was just larping
>>282646353>Sukuna kills or KO's every sorcerer that comes at him at Shinjuku>Gojo is dead, Maki didn't do shit, Megumi refuses to be saved, nothing seems to work>many people were genuinely convinced the series would end with the villains winningBack in those days, I tried to imagine what Sukuna would even do after decimating every single sorcerer. Explore modern Japan and eat everyone he met like he did in the Heian era? But that was exactly what he was doing before, and he was clearly bored as fuck ("A good way to pass the time until death comes"), so I dunno. Maybe he would have kept acting like a natural cataclysm that knows no rules, ideals, and feelings like Yuta said.
>>282646419>Sukuna trying to convince himselfKek
>>282646427Launch himself into space clearly
>>282646437He was basically a rejected deformed child that embodied the saying "An abandoned child will burn the whole village just to feel warmth". Mahito also calls him out on this, and Sukuna admits he could have done things differently, but feared "his own curse" too much. The mysterious miko or Uraume could have saved him, just like Yuji's grandpa (and later his friends) saved him, but he was too scared. I really liked that part, it shows Gege can write good shit when he wants to.
>>282646480Agreed. I actually like Sukuna being>A-actually I could have done this just so you know REEEEor like when Yuji called him out about the flowers. He got too much inside le fearless villain he unironically forgot who he was, like Yuji said Sukuna was born unlucky and I pretty much doubt people had mercy against a mutated child till Sukuna became a monster himself Hein ln when
>people still calling sukuna uncle when he's grandpa twinWhy is everyone so dumb
>>282646516Blame Gege for randomly change his mind againAlso uncle was easier than grandpa uncle
>>282646353The deal with Kenjaku is implied to be the reason Kenjaku taught him how to put his soul in his finger, also if the merger starts only normies in japan will autodie, so he will still have the merger itself, japanese sorcerers and the rest of the world to entertain himself.
>>282646533Gege never changed his mind. People ASSUMED because of the hair.
>>282646510>can differentiate between flowers>is a haiku expert>speaks in old, elegant Japanese>recognizes what a camera is, probably thanks to studying the world through his fingers as the centuries passed>is a culinary expertI hate that Gege never really developed him despite him clearly being one of his fav characters to draw and write.
When are we going to see bald Megumi?
>>282646591>I hate that Gege never really developed him despite him clearly being one of his fav characters to draw and writeThis is what confuses me. He clearly wanted to tell more about him. Maybe he will use the light novel for it? He obviously had enough material
>>282646566NTA but I'm pretty sure the sketch where Gege reveals Wasuke is Sukuna's reincarnated twin says: "ACTUALLY it was Wasuke who was..." so it really felt like a correction from Gege's part.
>>282622847KekThere goes my mangackaaaaWatch him as he goes!
>>282646419Yuji knew Unc was capping when he knew the difference in kinds of flowers. There's also an earlier hint in his fight with Yorozu where he criticises her poetry, showing that he does cars for things like art and literature
>>282624742The first season is tonally very different than the rest of the nonstop battle shounen jump fights
>>282646610The theory at first was that Yuji was the twin Sukuna ate (their interactions are even sibling like), then Sukuna theory was that Jin was the twin he ate then Gege decided it was Wasuke for some reason (rip all those Jin fanarts)Only really high IQ guessed it was Wasuke since Sukuna woke up when Wasuke died
>>282646591Maybe his mom was a noble but she was mistreated when she gave birth to Sukuna, or maybe Sukuna's mom was poor and she was adopted by some educated rich milf, similar to Hannibal (who is also a hipster who loves to cook people) who was adopted by some smart rich milf or some shit
>>282646609Just like with Toji, he even spent time drawing that little family tree showing Megumi's mother and explaining how Toji completely changed after marrying her, but then went back to his old self after her death. And Toji is 100% one of his favs. It's like there are two people in Gege, one wants to write cool action scenes, another to focus on characters' backstories and development.
>>282646973>Maybe his mom was a nobleVery improbable, he clearly states she was starving while pregnant with him, which led to the whole thing of him eating his own twin in the womb to survive. Famines only affected peasants and commoners, while noble families always received a good amount of taxed rice even during hard times.
>>282646609>>282647058I wonder if Gege is just cockblocked by some editor like with Isayama who wasn't allowed to write much more about Zeke despite clearly liking him kek
>>282647080>Famines only affected peasants and commonersNot sure if this was ever addressed by the fandom, but Gege definitely got the idea for Sukuna's backstory from a super old manga heavily criticized at the time for showing taboo subjects. It's Asura by George Akiyama. They even made an anime about it, equally grim. The historical period is different, but the setting is basically the same.>In mid 15th-century Japan, flood, drought and famine transformed the landscape of Kyoto into a barren wasteland. More than 80,000 people perished between 1459 and 1461. This desolate state serves as the backdrop to the beginning of the country's greatest civil war. In this era, a boy is born to a starving and impoverished woman who abandons him.>Eight years later, the boy has practically become a cannibalistic beast and wanders the countryside surviving in the wild with an axe which he uses to butcher his human preys with. He attacks a Buddhist monk, but the monk easily defends himself. The monk provides temporary food and shelter, and names the boy Asura. He teaches Asura a Buddhist chant hoping one day he would understand it.
>>282647161>Shortly after his departure, the village is destroyed by a huge mudslide. The monk witnesses the death and destruction in the village and again stumbles upon Asura. However, this time, Asura speaks in the human tongue he learned from Wakasa, cursing himself and wishing he wasn't born. The monk chops off his own arm, provoking Asura to eat it.>[...]Some time later, the voice of the monk is heard talking about the beauty of life as Asura, now matured into an adult and a redeemed Buddhist monk, carves a wooden statue of Buddha.>cursing himself and wishing he wasn't born>human meat and cannibalism>all those Buddhist references in JJKYeah Gege must have read/watched this lmao
>>282647080You are right, which makes me think the Miko adopted Sukuna and taught him those things >>282647235Would be funny if he was inspired by Hannibal prequel too. Also he watches weird shit like human centipede so I bet he watched this too
>>282647161I think Gege wants to make Heian sequel BUT it fits seinen more than anything. This is why I think he chose a horror writer for whatever jjk LN he approved.
>>282646353It's safe to assume he wants to fight even more and maybe see if he had more worthy opponents centuries later. I bet he thought everyone around him in the Heian era was a bunch of jobbers but there's no way the Heisei era could be that boring too right? At least he had fun with Gojo and Yuji even if he won't admit it. Kenjaku's reasons for everything he did are a lot lore mysterious. Sure he wanted to have fun but it's subjective, why did he think having a massive criminal record was fun? We'll never know.
So Sukuna papa is an alien?
>>282646480If we assume the miko was Kenjaku are represented the path he already chose, as opposed to Uraume and the path he will choose when reincarnating, then Kenjaku didn't really help.
>>282646566Sukuna always had Wasuke's resting bitch face, the correction didn't feel like an asspull to me. Yuji has a cuter face but it's not because he's young, Jin had the same cutesy face as a grown man.>>282646591That means Sukuna was either from a noble family or adopted in a noble family and was raised as such. Or, maybe as a grown teenager or young adult he threatened a noble family or highly educated buddhist monks into giving him a formal education. On the other hand the thing with his mom starving when pregnant makes me question who she was. There were a shit ton of famines back then.
>>282647387JJK in general would have benefited from being a seinen manga a lot more than being a shonen manga if we're only talking about the story. I know shonen manga are in a better position when it comes to marketing and adaptations but still.
>>282647687He was likely adopted considering he starved so much he survived by eating his twin inside the womb
>>282647687Fujos theory is that his mother was a Zen'in which is why Sukuna was so compatible with Megumi
>>282647840There's no basis to this even if it's a good excuse for more degenerage fujo fanfictions. We don't know who she is but I will guess she's the og Kenjaku until proven otherwise. She's not just wearing a typical miko outfit she's also wearing a hair accessory specifically worn by miko and Kenjaku was Tengen's bff when they were younger so it makes sense to me. And Sukuna thinks about her when mentioning his past choices. But I want Gege to tell us who she is.
>>282647840The ability to contain sukuna is based off CE. Sukuna said he sensed megumi's ability to contain him once he attempted to summon makora during the first hidden womb arc. Sukuna took a risk because megumi could've had the ability to control him like yuji had.
>>282634325Iwasaki should have no problem, as an artist hes pretty good at action and has a sharp style grossly similar to Gege's. Gege is also doing the storyboarding so it should be perfectly fine.
>>282647994>The ability to contain sukuna is based off CE.What was the basis of this? Megumi even when going all out just doesn't have the CE reserves.
I wonder if Gege learned anything just by being the writer this time. I do think it takes a specially awful one to have almost all of your characters, especially the deuteragonist. into plot devices.
>>282648411Go read what sukuna said once he took over megumi's body. Its something about either CE or the person's technique. Sukuna can tell who can and cant contain him based off that
>>282648552he did say he wouldn't repeat how he handled yuji for his next mc. We'll see
>>282648552>tfw he admitted to fumbling TsumikiI'm amazed when you consider this chick only has like 5 panels worth of screentime
>>282648953Too bad he didn't do that when Yuji was the mc
>>282649008
>>282649008What are you smoking? Yuji was awesome. He was everywhere too
>>282648975That's what amazes you? Thats exactly what they're talking about. The small amount of panel time. Do you get it now
>>282649107You guys might not remember but back when Naruto was running, the big thing was wishing we got more time with side characters. Did anyone not realize that means there's a tradeoff for character focus.
>>282631081TSUYOI, TSUYOI, TSUYOI!!KASHIMO WA TSUYOI!!
>>282648552Yuji and Gojo came out fine. All things considered. Nobara eventually went out the way of a typical shonen girl but somehow worseAnd Megumi. imagine fumbling a deuteroganist so badly that his legacy is because how much he sucks as a character that nobody wants him as their favorite.
>>282649199I mean Yuji's my favorite character by far I'm just posting Gege's words. We already know he doesn't like writing him
>>282633647>Filtered by the Specialz insertYou didn't understand the plot.
>>282649210Megumi is so unimportant to the entire plot that he can be removed and nothing would've changed.
>>282649318Just lying for the sake of it.
Which is better TCB or the officials?
>>282649318True>Yuji would've ate the finger by accident anyway. Kenny would've found a way >Yuji learned nothing from Megumi so nothing changes for his development>Yuji would've entered the Culling Games since Angel is required for Gojo's unsealing >Maki would've slaughtered her clan one way or another. >Gojo says it doesn't matter if it's Megumi's body since Sukuna was banking o the emotional nerf. >Actually, if you replace him with a rock, the Sukuna raid more or less goes the same
>>282649210He's a damsel.
>>282649233Where did he say that?
>>282649535
>>282649453>Yuji learned nothing from Megumi so nothing changes for his developmentYou're right. What did he even provide?>Todo was the one who taught him Black Flash. Consoled him at his lowest>Gojo for the basics. >Choso taught him his other techniques. Also consoled him at his lowest>Nobara made a clutch movement when he was about to lose. Her "death" provided him to change his attitude.
>>282635133The problem is that she'd be basically insulting her own mom too and herself indirectly for being the daughter of the "bitch". Should have stuck with "retard" or "idiot".
>>282646516I call him GRUNCuna thoughbeit.
>>282649382Tcb for OG JJK, because the viz translator was notoriously ass, but either is probably fine for modulo
>>282649642>>282649210I still have no idea how he was so popular. Dude has been a shitty character since the beginning. Other emo types were pulling their weight to justify why they're so liked but Megumi did nothing but do horribly on all aspects. Both in battling and story significance. He shouldn't even be good for fujobait because he never has any close bond with either Yuji or Gojo. It just shows him being so pissed off he rather not want to be with them
>>282649845>b-b-b-b-but he told Yuji they can't save everyone in volume 1 that one time!>can't you see how good their dynamic is!
>>282647625The miko wasn't a patch he chose. He clearly states they were two different paths he could have taken, but didn't, and so he lived his life as we saw he did. Now that he is finally at peace, and Uraume is there by his side, he will go with that path. But the miko and little Uraume were 100% roads he didn't take, and I doubt the miko was Kenjaku. What even are the basis for that? It makes no sense.
>>282649845I find him very hypocritical too. Dude acts very high and mighty but literally lacks the skills to back it up.
>>282649845I don't get why Gege compares him to Rukia. She was very supportive to Ichigo and she even has her own funny quirks. She feels like an actual part of the cast even when she's being a damsel. Megumi has nothing besides the damsel part.
>>282649845The fujo (and I suspect Gege too) sees his behavior as that of a closed off boy who actually cares a lot. He had a pretty shitty childhood, was basically forced into the sorcerer world in order to protect and sustain his sister, doesn't really think he's that good even when trained by Gojo, and understands that having friends in this field is stupid, because they could be dead tomorrow (as Yuji's temporary death shows). The problem is that the trio never really had much time to shine together, the events in the manga happen one after the other in the span of a few months. Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara probably spent just a few weeks together, so most readers were baffled by the lenghts Yuji and the others were going to just to save this depressed fellow.Even Yuji's affection for him feels off, but you could justify that with the fact Megumi was literally the first sorcerer friend/colleague he ever had. Megumi's "I'll try living for someone else" is also baffling since, again, he and Yuji have known each other for just a short time. Gege really fed the fujos like crazy with those two.
>>282650274>Gege fed the fujosAnd its just fujos making up 99% of their relationship because they could hardly be classified as actual friends
>>282650274Fujos were hard carrying Megumi's popularity. They keep telling things that he never really did in the manga. Especially with his friendship with Yuji because name a scene where he does act like his friend.
>>282650343>MAPPA had to add that scene with "Megumi is talking with a girl!!" because otherwise there would have been 0 (maybe 1, counting Oizawa's) scenes with the trio acting like a silly group of teenagers
>>282650343>>282650402The hidden inventory trio had more interactions between eachother than the OG trio could.
>>282650446The Modulo trio already has more interactions and we're only on chapter 4
>>282650446I still despise how the milked that arc to the bones. There is more merchandise of Gojo and Geto than there is of Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi. They even added some supplemental "still" scenes disguised as photos taken during lessons, training etc. to show how close Gojo & co. were and how normal their lives could be outside of jujutsu stuff. We got nothing remotely close for the OG trio and they're supposed to be the protagonists. And even in the case of the hidden inventory trio, Shoko is a non-entity: just like Megumi was never shown being a friend, Shoko did literally nothing in the group.
>>282650532>I still despise how the milked that arc to the bonesImagine being one of the 3 only Haibara fans in the entire universe and is surprised how much merch he has gotten
>>282650532To be fair, not much you can really show of the OG trios "normal school life" since we do see most of it and Yuji's "dead" for most of it as well.
>>282649845Real truth, if popularity polls didn't exist. I'd be confused if Megumi even has fans. Like I go to cons and I just don't see anyone dressing up as Megumi, he doesn't even have merch being sold off there. Like I see plenty of Yuji, Gojo, Maki, Yuta, and even Nobara but not him. All popular fanart were slander types.
>>282650693>Spoiler I believe there was an incident where a megumi cosplayer got shitted on so hard by other JJK fans who were in that place despite just being there for fun. Megumi agenda was so bad that they felt like shitting on his fans as well for even liking the character. Really, the only "safe" megumi cosplay you can do is by dressing up as Meguna
>>282649845He saved Yuji at the start by asking Gojo to save him, the one interaction he has with his sister is something I liked, I like his power and how his mindset hamper him, he's pretty nice.Just off the top of my head.
>>282649318I wonder how things would change if Mai had 10S instead of Construction>Mai's CE reserves are shit so she can only summon puppy-sized Divine Dogs and can't actually tame the other 10S>she's still hated for being a woman despite having the best Zenin CT>her only value is trying to pull Big Raga out but constantly getting cucked like Megumi>with Megumi non-existent Sukuna has to find out about 10S (and get an incentive to make the Enchain vow with Yuji) another way and somehow things have to be engineered so Maki dies and Mai reaches her full potential>Sukuna possessing a girl with his voice coming out
>>282651116I don't think Mai was stated to have bad reserves, but her mindset is even worse than Megumi, but, on the other hand, it's possible Naobito would force her to be stronger as the 10S user. Also we don't know wether Mai is a vessel candidate.
>>282651116>>Sukuna possessing a girl with his voice coming outAdmit it, this is your fetish and you just want to see it in action.
>>282651275Yes.
Mai didnt want to be a Jujutsu sorcerer, she was forced into it which made her death even more endearing because by killing herself it protects her beloved sister and takes her away from the Jujutsu world she despises so much.
True btw
>>282651394>Writing of Eren
>>282651275Yep enjoyed that in clock tower 2
>>282644511She's not that similar to YutaBoth siblings are rude little shits
We'll keep having this conversation about Megumi everyday for how many decades?
>>282652951Until Gege gives him redemption, probably forever
>>282653020What redemption? He already learned his lesson after everything that happened to him.
>>282653032>LessonHe just went back to being the same person as he used to be. It's like if losing both Tsumiki and Gojo didn't matter
Is it confirmed that yuji fucked nobara btw?
>>282649611You know, I've always assumed he was talking about a strip club or something but it's fucking pachinko isn't it?
>>282653193Yeah it's pachinko, apparently it's that bad. You just know Gege has had a bad experience with it.
>>282653070Yeah it didn't matter, that why Megumi "only" had a mental breakdown when Tsumiki died and was easier for Sukuna to manipulate and why he told Yuji he had enough while crying minutes after Gojo died.>>282653193>>282653235Didn't Gege or one character also say Wasuke used to go to pachinko and brought Yuji with him when he was little? Kind of like Hakari and his mom in Las Vegas? What the fuck was wrong with Wasuke, also no wonder he died of lung cancer because everyone smokes ikea chimney in there.
>>282653032Redemption in pretty much everything. Megumi was acting the same despite Shinjuku being entirely his fault. He should be more affected to change his personality. Not regress all of his developmentFans were losing their respect in him each and every chapter since the Sukuna possession and somehow he made it worse than he already does.
>>282650885>bumgumi's jobber is aura so strong that just cosplaying as him makes you job.
>>282653302It's implied it was Wasuke, yes, but Yuji really had a good childhood despite that, you can see it from the way he talks about it in his Domain. Wasuke did the best he could without a wife or any other female figure who could help him take care of a baby (and keep in mind that is rare for men to raise children all by themselves here in Japan, it's almost inconceivable).Someone asked Gege who Wasuke's wife was, and he said he wasn't sure, but had two ideas in mind: either she divorced him because of Wasuke's personality or she was the only one who could understand him and that's why he became so grumpy after her death.
>>282649233He never said he doesnt like writing yuji. He said that he will make sure to structure the plot of the story having the MC more involved. JJK isnt a battle shonen with an MC that wants to be the big hero. Its not a weakness at all and it's one of the better aspects of the story imo.
I always see Megumi as having the traits the most fans would find very hateable but only saved because the person is a GOAT in fights. but said person isn't strong nor significant so when gege finally showed who Megumi actually ended up being, he quickly became from one of the most liked to the most disliked. Even Japan flat out gave up on him after the manga ended.
>people think that gojo went kenjaku as soon as he broke out of the prison gateDo these retards just make up their own headcannon then ignore what they read? I dont get how anyone ends up with that idea. Kenjaku literally says he was stalking the spot waiting because Tengen told him about the back after she was captured.
>>282649611>but in these places of deliquency lies Itadori's good-natured personalityWhat deliquency? Yuji is literally the golden retriever character. He joined the occult club rather than the sport club because he wasn't interested in sports, had some money saved from part-time jobs after they discovered his grandpa's illness, loves campy movies, didn't care about Oizawa being fat, and doesn't even know how much a hostess earns on a daily basis. He would be the perfect love interest in a shojo manga.
>>282653407>>282653571The downfall of his popularity and reputation needs to be studied because it's amazing how Gege destroyed any dignity he has left. Look at Modulo, no one wants to make fanart of Old Megumi because it was easier to assume he died a pathetic death, No one thinks he became stronger because he was such a bum in the original arc that it felt impossible for him to reach it. And the worst part is that, he didn't even try to fight it. He fucking gave up.
>>282653511>and keep in mind that is rare for men to raise children all by themselves here in Japan, it's almost inconceivableA country of actual bums. How embarrassing. This is funny coming from the same country where way too many men refuse to use condoms as well.
>>282653711>StudiedNo need, just have a character actively do nothing when everyone tried their fucking best to save you just makes them hateable. It's irrelevant if its understandable or not, doing that is just awful. Imagine if in Bleach, Rukia just decided to stay on the cross. Or in One Piece if Robin decided to just not do anything and stayed with Spandam.
>>282653577>Kenjaku literally says he was stalking the spot waiting because Tengen told him about the back after she was captured.But kenny said he dropped it into ???
>>282653577Gojo said he went to Kenny. Why would Kenny risk himself to death by Gojo? He was also sweating.
>>282653643>What deliquency?He's an underaged gambling addict in a country where gambling for money is highly frowned upon and doing things for adults only when you're 19 years 11 months and 364 days old can get your ass in a police station.
>>282653827That's true. You'd think with Megumi being weak, at least he wants to help but nope.....He just stayed being useless and just watching everyone dying, only when victory is right there. He felt like doing something and it was so negligible that you think Sukuna just tripped on a rock.
I liked this chapter, I think the major problem is 3 volumes long statement.You'd think the pacing would be way faster, but I dunno.
Newbro here, just started this, is this REALLY written by Gege? I don’t believe Gege is an alien person but is it really him?
>>282653889>>282653827It's also infuriating since he was actually pulling his own weight in Culling Games and then that went poof. Imagine telling people that the final opponent he fought was literal fodder. 100 chapters before the ending. I repeat, 100 chapters.
>>282653827>>282653889He was mindbroken, it's understandable he wanted them to leave him to die.
The Sukuna raid wouldn't be so hard if they just collectively agreed that Megumi can't be saved I mean, these are the same people who were ready to kill Yuji.
>>282653969Again, people have a threshold for empathising with that. It's one thing to become apathetic and catatonic to what's going on, it's another if you're not going to do anything after megasatan has sliced your teacher and pseudo stepfather in half and is currently toying with your friends.>>282654001This as well. If saving Megumi wasn't even an option, they would have less things to worry about. It is kinda crazy that only Gojo and Choso died at the end.
>>282654001I wonder if Maki would have agreed to it, she seems to care about him and there's how he's the only relative she doesn't hate that's still alive.
>>282654001The thing is that saving Megumi had the benefit of killing Sukuna instantly with no body. No way in hell they could actually kill the latter by normal means.
>>282653969I get what was going on but Sukuna confirmed Megumi legitimately refused help so that means he was aware of what was happening all this time. It just made it look like he let everyone to die without telling them why
>>282654001I have a weird feeling that most of them would've said they wanted Megumi to die but it just so happens the two leaders (Gojo and Yuji) were pro Megumi . Those two alone negates the notion.
>>282654001Freeing Megumi was the wincon.I doubt they'd be able to straight up kill kuna.
Basically, it's the equivalent of a hostage situation. Is it really worth saving a weak person if it means having your best men get killed in the process The victims get as much blame as the actual perpetrators from the general public because they're the reason why this shit even happens. Same thing happens to Megumi. he is the biggest victim but that won't save him from getting slandered left and right and it was worse for him because not once the story justifies why he should be saved. No complete shadows, no Complete DE, not even black flash and rct.
>>282654001How so, the way Gege has written Shinjuku, the decision between kill/save literally only surfaces post-domain when the fight was already basically over. Any theories about how they could have done this or that is just headcanoning
>>282654178>>282654090I don't believe that. What's really stopping them from killing Sukuna right from the start. He had most of the fingers. Gojo was out there flicking UVs and Purples like it's candy. Did he really think Megumi would've gone out being perfectly fine? We all thought he's going to be braindead and paralyzed
>>282654202I think megumi's in a very good position after the manga ends.His shikigami are fucked, which admittedly is a huge bummer but the shadows themselves are very strong even without that. Maybe not S tier, but comfortably enough to get to grade 1.On top of that he's experienced all of the sukuna fight from sukuna's perspective including his barrierless domain and the usage of shrine, meaning he'll probably be ingrained with sukuna's technique as well and should have a much easier time learning how to perform RCT as well.Plus escape rabbits are S tier
>>282654249Gojo's logic started and ended at "you've lived without a heart before"If he got hit by UV it's entirely possible that they could have found a way to separate their souls, possibly with higaruma's CT
>>282654249The fact that the entire battle just ends with him having a headache was pure bullshit. It's like as if he's the weakest in both technique, physical, and mental fortitude But his defenses are far by the highest. Like you tell me he somehow survived Toji solo with only one stab through his abdomen?
>>282654202>not once the story justifies why he should be saved. >No complete shadows, no Complete DE, not even black flash and rct.Did you not pay attention to the story? This whole time Gojo wants to change the entire sorcerer society because he wants sorcerers to live a normal and carefree life without wondering if they'll die in horrible pain just because some old farts said so. Do you not remember everyone's reaction when Haibara was torn in half and Nanami was only able to bring back the top half of him? Or how mad he was that Yuji "died" after being set up by the old farts at the beginning of the manga because of how unfair it was?
>>282654341>His shikigami are fuckedGege changed his mind to make Megumi and Sukuna's shadows separate, so the former still can have all the shadows but the white dog and Orochi.
>>282654446No he didn't
>>282654474Sukuna lost 10 Shadows because Mahoraga was destroyed; Megumi still has 10 Shadows in the epilogue (and in the very same panel Sukuna says that). You do the math.
>>282654521I want to molest Sukuna...
>>282654521Love that bottom panel punch, far from Baki-tier but still nice.
>>282654849baki looks like ass
>>282654870I'm talking more about the feel of it. Baki does the "fist pressed up to the face" panel a lot.
>>282654891Honestly the animators of season 2 did the best job selling itThere's a couple like that in the choso and mahito fights
What compels Gege to make something so boring? Why not just enjoy being retired at whatever age he is
>>282655320>whatever age he is19
>>282655320He doesn't want Shueisha to do some bullshit with JJK behind his back, he said he's back as a writer because it lets him pick whatever idea he wants and reject what he doesn't want.
