Toji won btw
>>283301825I always wonder what kind of drug Gege took to decide>Yeah, introducing aliens in the sequel of a series about evil spirits makes sense. I'll do it!Oe maybe he just hit his head against a wall until the idea stopped sounding retarded.
>>283302494Worked for Dragon Ball
>>283303419Dragon Ball didn't have a very consistent setting.They had supernatural shit but it also a world with some futuristic looking technology and weird shit like furriest.JJK was a completely normal modern world where evil spirits exist.
>>283302494He's just doing the Otsutsuki twist properly
>be space muslims>protect man eating gay horse species>blow up planet>come to earth claming we dindu nuthin
>>283303419DB didn't drop Goku and it had enough characters people liked
what was gege thinking, i don't care about glups shitto clan' blood feud with buldarians over planet zeta alpha IV
>>283303419Because dragon ball never cared for worldbuilding or lore to begin with. It was just a wacky world with dinosaurs and talking animals which people in universe accepted. It introducing aliens never really broke the consistency of the world the characters were placed in
I think Gege is setting the scale way too much for a short mangaIsn't this going for 3 volumes? That's like 25 chapters at best, right?
>>28330655028-30 chapters seem like the standard for 3 volumes but yeah, there's a big problem considering the setting. It's just way too big and that's without counting the subplots such as the ring, yuka's cancer, and mahito
Insane how dead the thread is when last chapter had people really discussing the manga.
>>283306582People just don't give a shit about the aliens. Last chapter had fucking literal brain cancer and mahito potentially coming back
>>283306582>>283306636Last chapter felt very human. Mahito aside.This chapter, while it does have worldbuilding. It just makes you wonder why Gege suddenly gives a fuck about backstories
>>283306658I guess he realised it was a common criticism of JJK
>>283306658I think it's a good move but then again. Why it took him a sequel to finally bother to expand on his characters and world? Once again, this should be an entirely new manga. not related to JJK
>We got flashback Maru and Cross before we got shota SukunaI hate Gege so much
>>283306658He's doing backstories now because it's central to the aliens' motivations and politics. And in this story, you're supposed to empathize with both sides of the conflict, unlike in JJK where it was good guys vs bad guys.
>>283306797>>283306658>>283306693>>283306682It just boils down to>I feel nothing towards these characters. Why make this about Jujutsu Kaisen when it has very little to do with the original storySort of thing. It's a common reaction among nips
The modern world is boring for fictional settings. Even worse if it's futuristic.I wonder if there's a time based cursed technique. Would it even be Jujutsu then? Maybe the alien plot is in order to get a time machine in the plot?
>>283306824>Sort of thing. It's a common reaction among nipsThis applies to everyone, really. Maru is the only one getting fanart. Yuka is doomed by the narrative and no one gives about Tsurugi funny enough
>>283306856Tsurugi had potential but he just amounted to just being the resident HR user and nothing else. His fujobait with Maru barely made a dent to fujos and he's supposed to be the Megumi
>>283306797>because it's central to the aliens' motivations and politics.And kenjaku's completely slipped backstory was central to jjk, as it was the main cause of the whole series.>yuuji never even learned about him being his mom
>>283306888>kenjaku's completely slipped backstory was central to jjkNo, it wasn't. His motivation and goals were important, which were shown>I want to see something new, to evolve cursed energy>I will use any means to do this, and I will destroy humanity to do soThis was important to the story. What happened in his childhood was not.You're not supposed to understand his past, he represents the past, the thing holding the next generation back.
>>283306797But Kenjaku never got a backstory. and he's supposed to be the greater scope villain. Yuji's literal mother
>>283306909>No, it wasn'tOh, but it was, because he became yuuji's mother for [skipped motivations you can only headcanon about].And sukuna mentioning his last in the final chapter means it WAS important, gege just skipped the whole thing.
>>283306948>[skipped motivations you can only headcanon about]He's a scientist, this is explicit in the manga. He was doing one of many experiments. We can assume that it was done to test a method to create better incarnation vessels, or maybe a perfect vessel for Sukuna, since he sealed a finger inside Yuji as an infant and used the blood of Sukuna's twin to create him. If you use your brain to think about the manga more, you won't need everything explicitly written out for you.
>>283306970>you won't need everything explicitly written out for you.>here are my headcanons Cool. Now tell me exactly why he did it, as explained in the manga. And this is concerning the MC's origins and his relationship to the main villains by the way, EXTREMELY relevant stuff.
>>283307006>exactly why he did itDoesn't matter exactly why he did it.We know that he wanted to do the Culling Games for a long time (made contracts for it) and wanted to include Sukuna in it (Yuji was pre-registered for it), meaning he needed to incarnate him somehow.Therefore he would need to have some way to do so, thus figuring out how to create a suitable vessel is a natural next step.He obviously realized that Wasuke was the reincarnated soul of Sukuna's twin in some way (the exact methods are not important). So he choose to use the Itadori bloodline to see if creating a suitable vessel would be possible with it.All these points are in the manga, I'm only drawing connection lines between them.
The manmade event that destroyed their planet is the complete slaughter of all cursed spirits in the wake of one eating the princess.
>>283301825Daddy~
>>283306712>Implying the novel won't be about babykuna, shotakuna, teenkina, young adult kuna, then okdkuna>With the miko (aka kenjaku btw) grooming sukuna ever since he was a baby
Bring Gege's art back
>>283306582It's just too short to introduce aliens and their fucking backstory. Gege can't juggle multiple protagonists either. Yuji, Megumi and Nobara had the perfect balance and Gege can't replicate that, jjk had an obvious villain from the beginning (hell, Yuji had Sukuna and Mahito, and if Gege wasn't retarded, Kenjaku could have been his antagonist too), Megumi was the Sasuke with a cool power and related to a clan who had cool characters (and also linked to Sukuna), and Nobara was the girl liked by both females selfinsert and coomers (Manki is too ugly and feminist for coomers and girls to like) that was relatable and likeable enough
>jujutsu kaisen 1: Dangerous rapist cannibal able to destroy cities and kill even children plus some 300iq villain willing to go full evangelion just for the lulz>Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo: you know what the real monster is? DISCRIMINATION and RACISMYawn
>>283307843>live in one of the most homogenous societies on earth>DAE diversity good???Why are nips like this?
>>283308485They don't appreciate what they have. Give them time
>>283306550I'm really liking this manga but I agree, it seems it will be immensely rushed.
>>283307781Gege had no idea to juggle a cast with only 4 important characters. Yuka was out of the plot after chapter 1 and then she got the cancer death sentence
I guess Gege's boner for subversions still hasn't gone away. Seriously the fuck is wrong with him? >Never bothers to develop Yuji power wise until it's literally 10 chapters left>Megumi....... just everything. He's far by the most slandered anime character nowadays because Gege refuses to make him do something >Nobara. Imagine your own fans saying you should've stayed dead
>>283309594Tsurugi and Yuka aren't immune either despite being the descendants of Yuta and Maki.
>>283309594>Nobara. Imagine your own fans saying you should've stayed deadstay mad, yukofag
