Culling Games killing the hype
>>285344463>imbd>normalfags dont like that the battle slop has dialogueUseless thread.
MAHORAGAAAA
>>285344492it was a shit episode, copeif you need twenty minutes of dialogue and multiple flowcharts it's a clear sign that your writing is shit
>>285344492Post shibuya the series goes to shit, hard>boring infodumps>the godawful maki arc>the lamest excuse for a tournament arc ever>the shittiest tournament arc ever
>>285344463it's 7.8, thoughit's being kept artificially high by "superfans" that rate every episode a 10
>>285344463yeah, the exposition in this series post-shibuya is so incredibly fucking bad. i think it's easier to gloss over when reading but it's going to be a lot more noticeable in the anime because you're forced to sit through all of it. like it's not only overly convoluted and poorly written, it's just straight up completely useless a lot of the time. the series keeps setting up these complicated HxH esque rule systems and abilities, but gege is not capable of incorporating that complexity into the actual story. the rules of the culling games end up barely mattering, the merger never happens and the whole thing was basically just a battle royale for the sake of fights
>>285344463Shibuya is the peak and then it nose dives until the gojo fight and then it nose dives again when sukuna dies to a firm talking to by his future relative
>>285344598>until the gojo fightPeople are going to hate this fight when it gets animated.>30 seconds of action>3 minutes of talking and analyzing what happened>repeat until it ends
>>285344624thissukuna vs gojo is awful
>>285344638JJKfags overrate it because either don't read or because they actually think the power system is interesting.It's a fucking slog for an ending any retard could tell.>oh yeah gojo is totally beating the FINAL BOSS WITH TIES TO THE MC
>>285344624>>285344638Sukuna vs Jogo and Mahoraga are also like 2 pages each and the anime made both of them whole episodes of action
Sukuna vs Gojo is good. The thing that killed the manga was Sukuna cycle.
>>285344665Those are actual CHAPTERS.Sukuna vs Gojo goes on for over a fucking volume and you expect them to give the whole thing some insane quality throughout? Expect constant breaks of talking and exposition just so they can do it, just like in the manga.every episode will get like 3-4 minutes of action.
>>285344656Everyone knew Gojo was going to lose for narrative reasons. What pissed people off is how Gege did it, Sukuna offscreening him with some bullshit last minute power up he pulled out of his ass because Daddy Mahoraga showed him how
>>285344702>Everyone knew Gojo was going to lose for narrative reasons.You very clearly don't remember the threads.
>>285344583Even during Shibuya it was bad. S1 was great because the exposition was usually done with the characters' thoughts or cuts to character dialog, S2 got lazy by having the narrator just narrate. I dislike it a bit less knowing now it was Tengen, but it's still lazy and a poor way of doing it.
>>285344463Fuck off, IMDBposting shounenspic
>>285344554Gege tried to shill jjk0
>Midjutsu Shartsen: Exposition Games
We're going to have to wait until cour 2 to hear Private Pure Love Train, aren't we?
>>285344724Genuinely you are retarded
>>285344702Anon literally anyone could see the obvious death flag. Only Gojofags are THIS obsessed and affected by this fight
>>285344803>death flags mean the death was good writingNever open your mouth in public again
>>285344463Wait, has the season three released already?
>>285344656i think people overrate it because they had fun following it week to week and rooting for their guy like a sports team. a feeling of shared experience
>>285344723Yeah the coping gojeets actually believed that gojo would beat sukuna and the entire gang would take on kenjaku and the merger
Is this place still alive?

>>285344813We're on episode 3 now.First cour is 12 episodes, then a break
>>285344886Thank you
>>285344554Maki arc was good though?What was your problem with it?
>>285344511The superior name
>>285344463Accurate to the manga then.
>>285344872I'm pretty sure the Yaga stuff is pretty short. No way it gets its own episode.I get that he dies but still?!
On a scale from 1 to 10How disappointed is Sukuna at Modulo Yuji?
>>285344976
>>285344986I could see it getting a full episode if they actually show the fight between him and Gakuganji.
>>285344986As shown by this episode. The exposition/dialogue stuff is pretty dense enough to warrant an entire episodeMoreso if Yaga gets an extended scene of him and Gakuganji
>>285344986It’s at least 60-70% episode worth.
>>285345064>not the japanese name
>>285345036do u think yuji has ever fapped while cussing sukuna and they both had a guilty orgasm?
>>285344986It's pretty fucking dense. Since MAPPA went all the way for the info dump, they'll do the same for Yaga
>>285344872They could split it between episode 5 and six, no?
I wish Sukuna's mouth had popped out to trashtalk Yuji more often along the series
>>285345174With Japan's boner for Naoya? I doubt it
>>285344724> I dislike it a bit less knowing now it was TengenOne, >>285344801 Two, that changes fucking nothing. It's bad anyways. Dudes have written entire books about doing good exposition. Good techniques are all over your local library and the internet. There's no good excuse as to why the culling game exposition 1) exists and 2) is so bad. The anime did the best it could with a faithful adaptation philosophy but the main fault lies with Gege and his worthless editor who should have sent back this chapter on sight.
>>285345352We're not in any real disagreement. I just think it's slightly less bad to have an omniscient in-story narrator than an omniscient out-of-story narrator.
>>285345270I wish Sukuna used his belly mouth more to talk or eat.
>>285345270Gege wasted so much kino
>>285345352>and his worthless editor who should have sent back this chapter on sight.He fired his editor and got a yes man the moment the anime was a hit, anon.That's why he went back to his original pitch, the culling games.
>>285345446It's pretty obvious, what an ungrateful cunt
>not a single unc realized this thread is a 6 7 joke
>>285345446And shelves megumi and nobara for his jjk 0 bullshit with yuta and makiNo wonder the story was downhill since the end of shibuya with the highlights only being gojo vs sukuna and whatever yuji and megumi were involved in
>>285345506Megumi contributed nothing to the story other than brood all over the place and barely win against any opponent he faced.
Yuta is more interesting than Megumi
>>285345663So you rather have someone who effortlessly beat his opponents like some power fantasy isekai character? Yuji only has one true 1 v 1 mind you
>>285345663>Contributed nothing Don't tell me you unironically believed in the Potential Man meme?
>>285345270>No scene of Sukuna randomly shouting slurs in public
>>285344986did Gakuganji plot ended up in something relevant?
>>285345718>>285345723He doesn't even read or watch JJK. He just saw it through tiktok edits and thought that was the entire story.
Potential Man killed all discourse regarding Megumi. All criticisms get deflected to it and most people just quote it to criticize.
>>285345742More like this generation of anime/manga fans being too obsessed with slander culture that killed any serious discussion about Megumi. You cannot have any sort of discussion about him without throwing the word potential.
What "power system" are you talking about? JJK literally just makes shit up as it goes and at the end of the day it's just punch punch fight for 99% of the battle scenes.
>>285344463So the masses finally realized that the characters aren't that interesting?
>>285345718>someone who effortlessly beat his opponents like some power fantasy isekaiThis is literally what brown people want, yes.
>>285345803That's on Gege's fault, isn't it?Megumi's arc is his depression and not wanting to adhere to the power fantasy of other characters but Gege decided to focus more on Megumi "potential" to become a great sorcerer over and over despite Megumi's progression power wise is minimal. And the person that should matter the most to him which is Tsumiki virtually has no character nor screentime.
>>285345803This. What's going on with Megumi is a symptom of a much wider problem.
>>285345739That's how jjkf reads it
>>285345803I absolutely hate that this zoomer fanbase can't comprehend the mere idea of a character struggling. Dabura did not deserve the slander he's getting right now. Of course he just found out someone can finally touch him. That doesn't deter him that he's actually an interesting character but noooooooooo. He's supposed to be Sukuna level so he gets called a bum and a fraud for not being that
Imagine the reaction to 269 chapterkek
>>285345867The mindless praise Sukuna gets for being a parody of a fighting obsessed bad guy is unreal. He's a noncharacter but zoomzooms will look you in the eye and tell you he's the best part of Kaisen.
>>285344962That it sucks? It's just a no-charisma version of Toji killing irrelevant mooks.
>>285345803>More like this generation of anime/manga fans being too obsessed with slander cultureI don't know why that slander shit got so popular. Isekai is its own thing. It's meant to be a self fulfillment. But that doesn't work in shounen. I mean. For all of the complaining Megumi gets, he is still a very popular and beloved character. Look at Yuno from BC. He's basically Yuta but even more powerful and successful but his popularity? LM@O
>>285345888He is the best part of JJK along with Gojo. He isn't a "non-character". Retards like you like to use words they don't understand. You might want to go suck some balls somewhere else faggot
>>285345904Frankly I still can't believe Black Clover even has fans. It's so derivative
>>285345885>another info dump at the epiloguewhat was the cat thinking?
>>285345867Dabura slander seems to have stopped once translations but posted with his beer light speed punches. It was only really during the initial leaks with him being scared that people were shitting on him. Now people are back to talking about how he could beat Sukuna.
>>285345909Ooh, scary.
>>285345937That's just Gojeets wanting to slander Sukuna for saying that Dabura can beat him.
Curious how a series called sorcery fight where the two main bad guys just want to fight or do shit for the lulz somehow attracted pseuds.
>>285345888>The mindless praise Sukuna gets for being a parody of a fighting obsessed bad guy is unrealSome of you retards need to get that people only read jjk for hype moments and aura, just look how the moment it stops being that people lose all interest as seen now,which is why the sukuna gauntlet will be hailed as the best thing ever by most zoomers(you know, the actual demographic anime appeals to now) you may seethe but it is what it is
>>285345909No he is right Sukuna had no character until the last parts and even that character is as deep as the bottom of a glass.
>>285345803It's unironically a litmus test how a JJK fan comprehends a series depending on how they feel about Megumi. If they have nothing but hatred towards him, that person has never really touched the official material, but if they say they don't hate him, at least there's some credibility that they're not total idiots
How long can mahoraga survive against daburas 8 gates awakening?
I can’t imagine giving a shit about Megumi to any level. He’s a complete nothing character with a few funny moments from how unhinged he can be when fighting (how easily he’s always willing to throw out his suicide attack or the entirety of the Reggie fight). But for his entire motivation in everything being his sister their whole relationship is really underdeveloped.
>>285345723If by contributing you mean becoming a flesh mech for Sukuna to pilot then yes I'm wrong.But I'm talking about his character which is half baked, him being killed off early as Gege allegedly planned would actually contribute to Yujis, Nobaras and even Gojos characters.
You're all faggots, and this episode was absolutely necessary to explain why the characters split up and why kenjaku comes after tengen.Without it:>Maki has no reason to return to the zenin clan to get her powerup>Yuji and Megumi have no reason to find hakari>Yuta has no reason to split up from megumi and yuji>Choso and Yuki have no reason to split up from the rest of the group or run into kenjaku>speedreaders will completely forget about the rules and complain about things that are already answered laterThe execution could have been slightly better, but not much shorter, and there are basically no superfluous details
>>285346032Reggie fight was good
>>285345739That's how Sorcery Fight is supposed to be read dumbass, keep up.
>>285345867The fandom didn't even know 265 exist >>285345888Point in case
>>285346064The most popular image of Vegeta nowadays is the kneeling stuff.,
>>285344463GUGU GAGA
>>285345888He is funny and I like the boomer memes. >But I hate him!If he is fun to hate them Gege won too. Nowadays most shounen villains get forgotten fast
>>285346064Vegeta crying during Namek is one of his most iconic and beloved moments in Japan.
Now I wonder how the Megumi episodes like his fight with KIrara and Reggie are gonna be rated. Even anime onlies are aware of the slander he gets is nigh on impossible to miss.
>>285346132I wonder if people are that spiteful towards him that they're gonna rate it low even if the episode is animated good
>>285346092Naoya when he reads a woman's blog
>>285344543>>285344554The culling games was an abortion of an arc only saved by some of its battles. I like how the nu-twitteranimefags try to do a second tier defense of it against normalfags they think they're better than by saying how you must be filtered by it when I already read all this shit. Gege honestly thought he was cooking up some Greed Island/Succession War death-game arc or something when the rules are utterly meaningless schlock in-between stupid bullshit like his failed military arc or introducing two one-note gimmick characters to basically power-up Maki. Seriously, he did NOTHING interesting with the rules and any potential drama was gotten around by the time Higurama said you could transfer the points. There was never a scenario where a weaker antagonist rules that "Nobody can use DE's/RCT/cursed energy enhancement" or any drama with having to hurt anyone, it was all locational/moving people around bullshit before getting to the part they actually wanted to get to which was the Sukuna fight when everybody barring Kusakabe was going to try to murder Sukuna regardless of the merger privilege rule.
>>285345718I would rather he fights on even ground than barely win against the fucking finger bearer reskin curse in a rematch where he's supposedly stronger.Keep in mind Megumi has one of the top 3 bloodline techniques of all time and he struggles against what is essentially basic fodder to his technique. Megumi needed a rival/enemy like Mahito, Yujis character developed a lot interacting with Mahito meanwhile Megumi got.....a curse spirit.......a manchild scorpion woman.....and Reggie.
Mai was so hot...
>>285346204>>285345663I think you're too obsessed with the idea that Megumi has to be like Sasuke. Megumi does not have the mindset to get actively stronger. That was the whole point. It's why he's never a rival to Yuji in any sort of angle.
>>285346230Nah that was Maki anon.
DUNK ON HIM RAGA
>>285346204I can't imagine giving Megumi a rival. He's not that kind of character.That only works if he's actually the Sasuke type of character people think he's like.
>>285345962Who will be the Narrator after Tengen got pokeballd?
>>285346092Kek I love this bitch.
>>285346286Jabaloma
I don't know why you fags wanted another Sasuke. Megumi is fine as he is. Gege's mistake that he didn't give any focus to his sister which is the main drive of him being a sorcerer
>>285346261Link to previous chapter?
>>285346313Nigga
Okay Dabura is really cool what.
>>285346204The catch with Megumi is that he has all the setup to become a special grade sorcerer>Mentor is Gojo>Father is the one who managed to "kill" Gojo>Praised by everyone>Super rare technique Except this is on someone who doesn't like to be great. That's kind of the point. His lack of anything that the shonen rival archetype holds is why he's never treated as one.
Dark Souls Dialogue..
>>285346132If the animation is good then it will be highly rated like always. This fight is only underwhelming if you watch it with the knowledge that 1) it's megumi's last fight 2) every other fight is much higher-powered
>>285346315Not really the sister doesn't matter, the problem is that Megumi was more plot device than character. Which isn't really an issue in the grand scheme of things after all why not many characters are like that and work fine. But it does suck that he's a character with a lot of screentime and ultimately not much was done with it except upscaling Sukuna.
>>285346397>mahobart... forgive me....
>>285346424YEAHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHA.
Also woah wait a minute.
>>285346204Megumi doesn't care. He's not that kind of character to even want to be a big shot sorcerer despite having all the privileges. The real issue with him is that everything related to Tsumiki/Yorozu was poorly written which hurts his own standing as a character. Who actually gave a fuck about this????
>big mouth Tsumiki>big head MegukunaI wonder what Gege saw that made him decide to do these for “reveal moments”.
>>285346415>Not really the sister doesn't matter,It has everything to do with his sister. I don't blame people's hate for him as to why he was despairing so hard in Sukuna's control when Tsumiki barely has any presence for people to remember why he's like that
Maki is the hotter one and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
>>285346450Reminds me so much of Kashimo! Breaking your body, three eyes, same orientation.
>>285346204>I want megumi to be another generic shonen rival prodigyIs basically what you're saying.
>>285344463>6/10more like 1/10fucking blah blah blah
Literally ripping off Naruto with Hashirama and Madara.
>>285346204>Megumi's rivalResurrected toji could fill the role had gege not killed him off in shibuya.
An extremely good fucking chapter, reminds me of Gojo vs Sukuna in terms of vibes.
>>285346418Shocked probably.
Megumi beats a tranny, kills a black man, and kills a homeless man in this cour. I say for his last standing as a combatant, that was an okay way to end it.
>>285346455People won't understand better why he's like that with more focus on the sister though. The issue is the very fact that Megumi had to shut down completely so Sukuna could have a big epic fight with Gojo and that Sukuna didn't even have to make any effort to crush his spirit for it.
>>285346450Why are people taking this as a consequence of his technique instead of just a hard ass line about beating maho to death.Like the damage only starts at light speed and he's going near light speed so he should be fine
I didn't know we had so many women and fujos on /a/ who care a lot for Megumi and white knight him at every chance they get. I don't think he's a mega bum like the slander memes say, but he's a boring character with the charisma of a wood log and anytime he gets more spotlight I just wait a more fun character takes his place. No, I don't care about Yuta and I dislike Maki, but Megumi is not a character I like either.
>>285346613I don't think bodies are meant to handle the capacity of that heat and speed is all.
>>285346600Sukuna did a whole 1000 year plan with Kenjaku to incarnate Yorozu in Megumi’s sister and he did the bath just to break Megumi’s spirit.
>>285346613
>>285346600>Sukuna didn't even have to make any effort to crush his spirit for it.FUCKER, DID YOU EVEN READ THE MANGA. Sukuna went through everything to make sure Megumi doesn't fight back at all
>>285346617>he's a boring character with the charisma of a wood log and anytime he gets more spotlight I just wait a more fun character takes his place.Stopped reading here. Yutaslurper moment
>>285346613Cont.
>>285346600Sukuna needed a plan to make sure Megumi stays useless. That was literally the whole point why his plan was so effective in the events going forward.
>>285346345https://mangapill.com/chapters/9169-10018000/jujutsu-kaisen-modulo-chapter-18
>>285346644>>285346629Kek my bad, completely forgot about that part. It's still meh though because an actual mindbreak through conversation Johann style would have been so much better than "le conveninent blood bath that insta breaks your spirit".
>>285345270>Yuji on a date with Yuko before she knows anything about Jujutsu >Sukuna spawns his mouth to scream profanities when she isn't looking at Yuji and bites her when Yuji tries to go in for a kissKuhkuhkuh stupid kozo
>>285346648I don't care about Yuta either, but everyone on /a/ hates him, so I don't need to bring the fact the fact that he's a Gary Stu with ugly hair.
>>285346655>dabura going full saitamakino
>>285346453The anime could improve this massively by giving more cutaways to memories of her during megumi's reggie fightBut they won't
Once MAPPA gets to the bath, Gosso will use his pretentious artistic directing to make it look like the bath is physically harming megumi's soul
>>285346708I like him. I could never hate a Megumi Ogata character.
>>285346627>>285346641>>285346655I admit to being wrong.
>>285346539People would have expected maki to take him on not megumi
>>285346728>once mappa gets to the bath, gosso will try to do a good job with itok?
>>285346732Even Shinji?
>>285346715Just add one scene of him talking to her one last time before going off to recruit Hakari. Show that he want’s to spend time with her but there is just no fucking time
>>285346732Must be tough being you then.
>>285346691Achievable natty?
>>285346756No you're right I hate Shinji I just haven't watch Evangelion in 10 years so I forgot.
>>285346728I think the soul breaking bath is blood or something.
>>285346766Yea but only if you fuck trannies.
>>285344554Why did Gege make his series boring, godawful, lame and shitty? Is he stupid?
>>285346745But it's similar to Kashimo's CT right? Well, it's more like Ultra Ego in comparison if anything. Murderous intent given form. Even the whole surpassing limits of mankind.
Both Tsumiki and Yoruzu are complete nothing characters. Even Uro is more interesting than both.
>>285346239>>285346277>>285346388>>285346453>>285346494You guys are unironically retarded pesudo spics, the point is to give him screen time to develop and grow and in battle shonen the fights are a major parts of that, it's not so that he can become the strongest sorcerer there ever was and rival to Yuji.The point is interaction with other characters, something which he had little to none with anyone he ever fought, Yuji interacted with Mahito and Sukuna and that's why every anon creams himself when he appears.Megumi has none of that, "he isn't that kind of character" is your cope as to why he's so shit.
>>285346792FUAAARKK.... I guess I have to then...
>>285346453>>285346715Only way to fix this is by having a character (maki would probably be the most fitting since naoya was the only one who had a reason to harm megumi's sister) escort yorozu during CG while she masqueraded as megumi's helpless sister. But it's too drastic of a change so they wouldn't do it unless gege was the one who presented them the idea.
>>285346820Imagine being the only girl in the same year as the two hottest/most powerful Sorcerers of your generation, but neither of them give you any attention because they're homos that just want to fuck each other. I'd become a serial smoker too
Did Sukuna trick Hana and eat her arm to fuck with Megumi or was that just for fun?
>>285346874Megumi doesn't even remember about Hana. Why would he
>>285346809Gege probably wanted a remake since he didn't give it much justice vs sukuna
Shitgumi didn't even realize she had a crush on him
>>285346469What's his problem?
>>285346874He didn't eat her arm he just bitten it. The one who ate it instead of performing rct to heal her is yuta the CT thief
>>285346469
>>285346908Permanently living in the Shadow of his older brother, despite said brother being dead for 12 years now
>>285346469Basically the fate of Hakari if he ever fought her for real
>>285346916Hanami...
>>285345446Knowing he likes World Trigger I feel like he became obsessed with replicating both the large scale invasion and rank wars but choked throughout the planning and the execution.
>>285346916Only straight people would fuck Kirara I know this.Not gonna comment on the rest of the tierlist because it's so dogshit(aside from Sexbara being in the top), but I will tell you to correct you ass taste because Yugi's mom is an easy S+
>>285346983She's about to pop his cap
>>285346916Nobara shouldn't be that high, she looks like an orc in some panels.
>>285347022Who cares she has big boobs and a hot personality
Nobara was only attractive as a child.
>Dabura Karaba the fastest sorcerer in history>Unleashed 2758 strikes in 0.6 seconds, destroying Mahoraga completely before it could even begin to adapt
>>285347042Yuta...
>>285347046Yeah I agree with this, how would Dabura deal with UV? He can't just tank it like he did with cursed speech.
>>285347037Her boobs aren't that big and her personality is trash.
>CE output determines regen speed >Hakari's regen speed surpasses even gojo and sukunaShouldn't his punches do the most damage in the series by a wide margin? They barely felt stronger than yuji's. I hope mappa turns him into garp or something during his fight with kashimo
Could just be me or is Gege not revealing what's his other CT is besides Light manipulation?
>>285347074You're fucking crazy on both counts dude
They all talk about how stripping a CT results in death but does it really? I don't remember anyone dying, also wouldn't this mean the other sorcerers that got kidnapped would die since they wont be able to change their points. This part seems the most pointless one that had the cast needlessly get worked up and limited their actions.
>>285347046Dabura destroys Gojo too
>>285347115Hakari's RCT only outpaces Gojo and Sukuna because Jackpot state makes his body perform it automatically, so he doesn't even have to think about it or consciously perform the action, it just happens
>>285347115Yuji's punches are incredibly strong due to his innate physical properties (and he has even higher potential because of flowing red scale).Hakari should be strong, but at worst a slightly amped up version of yuta. It's hard for me to imagine him surpassing gojo or miguel, for instance
>>285347119Dabura's internal monologue this chapter makes it pretty clear he doesn't have any other CT besides light beams. That's why he's resorting to using the light to amp his movement speed
>>285347180>miguel sneakI'll never understand why gege spent a chapter hyping him up if he's going to land one normal punch on sukuna then disappear forever
>>285347149lmfao. Dabura is a crybaby bitch
>>285347119I think he either never used the second part due to his personality or the malice given mass is what helps create the light beams that can hurt you
>>285347248Diversity Quota. >>285347184great! so now he can die at the speed of light LMFAO
>>285347248He shouldn't have been brought back, but gojo's physical scaling alone puts him at the top of the verse because gege is a retard.I'm also willing to take gojo's opinion as the word of god on physical combat attributes because of the 6 eyes
Can someone explain to me why Yuka's Death Binding Vow would boost Mahoraga when.......she didn't even tame it for it to be properly hers? Could've gotten Baldgumi from his retirement for a double mahoraga if that's gonna be the case
Wow really? No wonder.
>>285347294So sukuna was holding back then
Culling Games Yuji vs MiguelWho would win?
6 7
>>285347248to make "superhuman" kashimo not being able to dodge a waffle with big ass holes in it funnier
>>285347307Maybe the strength of the mahoraga does still depend on its user even when untamed Which might be why no one has be able to tame it probably It always scales with their user.
>>285347346Lollmao, even
>>285347354does miguel have his whip?
>>285347346how is "holding back" or not a physical attribute retard?
Literally killed my interst in the series. What a colossal misstep.
>>285347424Skrt skrt vroom vroom
It should have been Dabura x Yuka
>>285347046>>285347263>Gojofags coping
I miss non AI-generated fake leaks bros...
>>285347516Anyone have that fanart of miguel using an all black domain and sukuna beating him because he's offscreen?
>>285347147Also if CT is rooted into the brain, then shouldn't Kenjaku not be able to access them since he literally replaces the brain? Feels like CT is more inherent to the body and thus stripping CT would at worst lead to nerve damages.Oh and Yuta's able to copy CTs from eating even just the finger of people, it doesn't really seem like its all on the brain.
Why are the clans so retarded and arrogant?
>Yujifags whining that their GOAT doesn't have a family while Yuta does>Gege: *presents the idea that mifuyu is his daughter*>Yujifags sperging out because that's a bad thing???
>>285347728I wanted Yuji to have butt babies with Megumi
>>285347728>Yuji caused yuka to go through unnecessary sufferings just because he is hiding from responsibilities >Yuji is a deadbeat dad who leave behind his kid and grabkids>Yuka and tsurugi know nothing about yuji at all. emphasizing the deadbeat.>Yuta never told tsurugi and yuka about yuji, implying yuji is so bad that the grankids better never know about him>Yuji's genes failed because none of the descendants looks like him Mifuyu, Yuka, Tsurugi)You realize how bad this sounds?
>>285347778>Yuji's genes failed because none of the descendants looks like him Mifuyu, Yuka, Tsurugi)This is the worst one
>>285347728She looks like a generic npc and no one of them looks like Yuji
>>285347728Mifuyu literally has none of Yuji's features and neither does Yuka and Tsurugi. They look more like Megumi's children
>>285344666It would be even better in the anime, besides Yuji/Todo and Yuji/yuta vs sukuna was fun
>>285347778Counter point: all of this absolves and covers up that yuta is a shitty clan leader who changed nothing and a father to a weak bum.
I don't want Yuji to end up like Luke Skywalker
>>285347899And yet his grandchildren are the strongest sorcerers from their and the previous generation.And let's be real Yuka and Tsurugi Rika equipped are stronger than like 70% of the OG cast.
>>285347934>Yuka and Tsurugi Rika equipped are stronger than like 70% of the OG cast.Tsurugi with Rika sure but.......Yuka? The girl with a weak body and can't even summon the dogs? Megumi at his weakest would neg diffed her
>>285347934Yuka sneak. Even Momo would've dealt with her.
>>285347147It's speculation from shoko, and eventually players are allowed to leave the colonies when yorozu uses the 100 points given to her by megumi to do so.We never see what happens to the sorcerers who are kidnapped, so it's entirely possible that they die in captivity>>285347648It's not that CT is determined in the brain, it's that "cursed technique removal" is achieved by modification to the brain (i.e. death).The ability to use cursed energy is (at least to some extent) determined by the brain, as gojo and sukuna both demonstrate earlier in the manga. Gojo constantly needs to use RCT on his brain to maintain his automatic limitless activation, and then in turn needs to use RCT to restore his burnt out cursed technique during the domain clashes.Sukuna on the other hand is unable to use his domain after being hit by unlimited void due to the damage to his brain.The actual cursed technique itself is carved into your soul (and the body is an extension of the soul), meaning that yuji ultimately learns how to use shrine and kenjaku can maintain his techniques even after changing bodies
>>285347728>>Gege: *presents the idea that mifuyu is his daughter*This never happenedWhat the fuck are you talking about?
>>285346193>Gege honestly thought he was cooking up some Greed Island/Succession War death-game arc or something when the rules are utterly meaningless schlock in-between stupid bullshitThe rules being meangless shock is actually entirely intentional, according to Gege. In the Exhibitions, he reveals that he structured the CG arc by front loading all the story at the start because he felt it took too long to get into the combat.Thats why story/combat progression is normal until Tokyo-1. Its the "tutorial", as per Gege, telling you the story and rules. And then once that was done, he could just jump into the combat after that for the rest of the Colonies, without any of that pesky narrative to deal with.I have no idea why the retard thought this was a good idea, but at least he acknowledges he fucked up there in his Exhibition comments.
>>285347865And they weren't even allowed to be megumi's children. So the trio Gege hated so much probably will die childless or with kids that look nothing like them Even Gege knows if Nobara had a kid or a student people would want to see her relationship with them over Tsurugi praising Maki
>>285347934Theyre grade 2 at best and their power comes from his wife's side. Even rika is them relying on the effort of a dead child
>>285347956She can summon Maho, that's already stronger than any character that's not Gojo or Sukuna.And I remember that they forbid her from using the shadows not that she can't summon them, was it stated somewhere that she can't call the dogs or any other shadow?
>>285348014Also I'll add to this that cursed technique are, in some cases, abstract and rely more on the coherency of a particular concept rather than some kind of overarching reality that people are interacting with.Kenjaku and Mahito even have a conversation about this in shibuya, where their two techniques seem to create a conflicting definition of a "soul". Mahito guesses that they each have their own definition of a soul, and taken to its furthest extreme the idea of a soul might not even be a universal concept in the first place. Maybe seance granny has a 3rd definition which doesn't match up with either kenjaku or mahito's, and then nobara has a 4th.So you basically end up with jujutsu sorcery being a mashup of all the different superstitions about what souls and spirits are.
>>285347115Just like how CE output is a hard cap on how strong you can make a CT, buffing your body with CE has a hard cap as well. Mei Mei reveals this when we first see her use her bird nukes. That hard cap is the entire reason she developed the bird nukes.So having infinite CE is kind of meaningless in terms of scaling your raw power. All it means is that Hakari can use his CE buff at his maximum without worrying about running out of CE.
>>285348107>was it stated somewhere that she can't call the dogs or any other shadow?It's just headcanon. She was only forbidden from doing so.
>>285348107>>285348181Chapter 16
>>285348181>>285348107Was she ever not curious one bit? Unless it's another bullshit BV that prevents her from summoning Divine Dog for even a second or two
Gojo backstory in S2 was pure cinema, everything else is mid or shit.
>>285348219Even if she was curious, she most likely wouldn't have been able to meaningfully train with them or tame the others
>Yuka fears the toads
>>285348211Yeah this doesn't mean she can't summon them, it just means that the clan forbade her from using them and she obeyed most likely because she was a grandpacon.There's no logic to her being able to summon the strongest shadow of the technique but not being able to summon the tutorial shadows.
>>285348219She just let her mother take the ring away so she simply is that obedient despite her wish to improve. Can't be a BV since she could summon Big Raga and nothing has been mentioned about using bullshit BVs to break another bullshit BV.
>>285348316You can do the summoning ritual for any of the shadows at any time.That doesn't mean that the sorcerer has the cursed energy output required to summon or maintain the shadows
>>285348316makora is a ritual, not a proper summon.
>>285348229It was the only good thing to ever come out of JJK
>>285348316The rituals can be done at any moment regardless of CE though (see Megumi)
>>285346469I remembered that Maki killed Ranta in this page but I guess I remembered wrong. It looks like he just died from over exertion and Maki didn’t even have to do anything. That’s actually kind of sad. Bro put all his faith into Jinichi and even sacrificed his own life.
Also, you guys do realize how different the environment is for yuka's training vs megumi's training, right?Megumi was a complete prodigy, who was already being taken out on missions with gojo when he was like 8. He also had the strongest sorcerer in history to practice summoning rituals with whenever he wanted to, and was constantly being pushed to improve and being sent on missions where he was forced to adapt or die.Yuka is not only never sent on challenging missions that we see, but she's also forbidden from using her technique properly by the gojo clan. Hell, it's entirely possible she's never even tamed a shikigami. Even when she wants to improve, that's out of a personal misunderstanding that she needs to defeat tsurugi rather than because there's anyone around her who is actually pushing her to improve.We don't even get a scene of yuta/maki encouraging her like we do for tsurugi
>>285348330She can use the powers of the dog without even summoning it, that means one of two things, 1) she has already tamed the dog and has access to it's powers.2) she is a skillful enough sorcerer to figure out a way to use the powers of a shadow without even taming it, but this one is unlikely since if she was so good then she wouldn't have a problem in taming the dog in the first place.She most likely tamed a few shadows before the clan forbade her from further using her technique.
>>285348445>1) she has already tamed the dog and has access to it's powers.Speedreader-kun.... All 10S users get the Dogs automatically. Its the starter summons. Its the other 9 that need to be tamed.
>Fucks Naoya>Into Megumi>Kissed Maki, who might have been her first loveWhy was Mai such an incestuous freak?
>>285348408>Yuka is not only never sent on challenging missions that we seeThey probably don't have really challenging missions period considering how the old man was an outlier.
>>285344463>story goes to shit>people stop liking itwow just like with the manga. post-shibuya almost felt like a different manga, the last good moment in the story is Yuji's "fight" with Higurama
>>285348445>she has already tamed the dogThe dogs came in tamed for free....... otherwise. Megumi at his young age wouldn't be taking care of the white one if he didn't learn how to fight
>>285348445 Nta but Divine dogs are tamed automatically. Megumi stated this when he summoned Mahoraga against Haruta. Only 9 Shikigami have to be tamed through a ritual.
>>285348445Divine Dogs are already tamed when the user manifested 10S.
>>285348489Shibuya was shit too anon
>>285348445The Divine Dogs come tamed by default. It's most likely she just experimented until stumbling into what Sukuna did. Imagine being told you have a technique to summon Shikigami but you aren't allowed to do so. Megumi took until Yuji "died" to figure out he could even meddle with his own shadow but Yuka having literally nothing to do probably took less.
10S users are cursed to never actually get proper training for their technique, I fucking swear
>>285348607Kill yourself you spamming subhuman retard.
>>285348607>Megumi nerfed himself because he didn't want to get stronger>Yuka wants to get stronger but the world says no. I wonder when we'll finally get one that isn't cursed on both ends. Not named Sukuna obviously.
>>285348569>It's most likely she just experimented until stumbling into what Sukuna didI would have suspected that whoever wrote the provisions banning the 10s allowed that as a compromise
>>285348463>>285348490>>285348569Oh yeah I forgot that.Then it doesn't matter it's not that she can't summon the dogs it's that she is obedient enough not to summon them due to the clan forbidding her.
>>285348804kek
>>285348804Why was murder the first thought on Naoyas mind? Considering Megumis personality Naoya would have found more success just inviting him to dinner or something and explaining how he’s worked really hard to be the clan head and would like for Megumi to transfer authority to him. Since Megumi doesn’t give a damn about the Zenin he would have probably been okay with giving away his status to someone who cares.
>>285348886Naoya is just super petty.
>>285348886>Why was murder the first thought on Naoyas mindRage at what was his being taken away by someone else. He's a sadistic, cruel hothead. Really, there was never going to be any other first thought from him.
>>285348489Gojo vs. Sakuna and Comedy Magic Man were peak fights in any manga ever.
>>285348886He's too strong headed in his obsession with status.
>>2853488861. He doesn't know megumi, and doesn't want to take risks (particularly with the possibility of other clans getting involved)2. Megumi was already acting as clan head when he sent Maki to get the cursed tools3. He's prideful, and wants to prove himself superior to megumi
I dropped this episode 5 mins inI didn't like the 1st episode, eitherI'll see if episode 3 can salvage it but I doubt it
>>285348464Because Gege likes it
>>285348464>Megumi wanted to Fuck Tsumiki It's the Zenin blood
>>285349051Season 1 or season 3?If season 1, you should probably slog it out until episode 4/5. The opening is a little bit stilted and not really representative of the rest of the story.I'd say to watch up to episode 13 if you're even slightly hooked at that point, but it's your life and you probably have better things to do if you're not enjoying yourself
>>285346832He still isn't that kind of character that you think he should be. Megumi is not a proactive character but the world forces him to be. In a sense, jujutsu society is his enemy since it made his life miserable as possible.
>>285348077If you're not going to count a super powered ghost that's running on Yuta residual energy then you shouldn't be bringing up any bloodline techniques and who they came from. And besides if Tsurugi wasn't blood related to Yuta she wouldn't help him.Both the ring and the 10S serve the same purpose and are the same except in how they were obtained.And both rely on bloodlines to work.
>>285349256>In a sense, jujutsu society is his enemy since it made his life miserable as possible.Megumi is just another victim to the cruel ways of Jujutsu life as much as it screwed over Geto. Don't know why that's hard to get. Retards really do think every character needs to be like Gojo or Sukuna to be considered "good characters"
>>285344463the series is solid 8 in reality. it's not that low.
>>285349416>solid 8 in realityjust like my gock uwu
>>285349051>didn't finish episode 1>didn't finish episode 2>tries episode 3have you considered unfrying your attention span?
>>285346832Megumi not wanting to dive himself deeper into sorcery by giving him enemies who end up getting killed by him sounds pretty consistent. And besides, multiple characters kept on pushing him to fulfill his potential so it's not a specific enemy but rather what society wants Megumi to be and he didn't want that.
>>285349169season 3, I enjoyed season 1>>285349439the storytelling is straight ass
So as an anime only I know these three episodes must have skipped a lot of chapters since they feel extremely wacky paced and exposition dumpy, but like why the fuck has this story gone so far off the rails? The entire Tengen plot seems so retarded and farfetch'd. Kenjaku's plan feels like a looney tunes villain made it up. And the death game shit just feels cheesy and forced like they had to think of some random gimmick to throw into the show and simply started throwing darts.What the fuck is even going on? It feels like all the hype built up from season 2 was thrown out the window.
I still find it baffling that Gege decided that his "supposed" deuteragonist is someone who is just a middle finger to the whole powerscaling autism and for battle shonen as a wholeFrankly, I still don't get why Megumi didn't just plummet into unpopularity when it's revealed he was never going to be of any actual significant impact in the end. Hell, he's not even mentioned at all in Modulo despite Nobara and Hakari making it in and Gege didn't give a shit about those two either.
>>285349512Anime only here too, I guess I'll add my opinion. I feel like the stakes should be a lot higher with Gojo gone and the city overrun by curses. I was expecting characters to have a serious conflict about whether or not to kill Yuji, or at least the threat of Sukuna would be taken more seriously beyond just "oh no what if he hurts megumi".This culling games thing paradoxically feels like the stakes have lowered rather than raised with Gojo gone
>>285349539Had Megumi been a generic rival, would people like him more? I mean, surely not acting like a loser would've at least lessen the hate he gets on the daily.
>>285349539Megumi is carried by thirsty fujos who want his anus to be screwed by other men, it doesn't matter if he's a fraud or a bum, that's the whole reason why he's popular.
>>285349539I think Megumi has a good concept but it's hard to convey when JJK is extremely battle heavy so something like his trauma gets ignored. not helping that he's intentionally weak when compared to his other peers
>>285349539STOP SPAMMING YOUR OBSESSED RETARDED SUBHUMAN
A lot of these threads have just been MEGUMI MEGUMI MEGUMI in terms of discussion and it’s starting to piss me off.
>>285347115There's a limit to output on raw CE, that's why Ryo was a monster his CE was the highest ever.Meaning that without relying on techniques a full power punch is capped by your output
>>285349734Says the subhuman who screeches like a retard in all caps.
>>285349762Megumi is just the emblematic of the series' biggest problem that Gege doesn't like to commit to a plotline and just drops it entirely. He's just the biggest problem but so are the others (Kenjaku, the clans not mattering, the military, Yuki, Yuji's heritage)
