I have to say, while storytelling wise Sendai is a big void (like a lot of the cg), I can't deny the spectacle of episode 12 made it a very fun watch
Hopefully they can salvage a lot of other stuff next season

>you can't make the MC of a shounen be the nice but passive guy that barely does anything while possessed by an ancient dude who's kinda violent
This is what Megumi would be like Gege's draft was accepted.

>>
I have never watched or read this but that OP sure is catchy
>>
>>287150437
Im just saying, its not hopeless for the series to have been a thing with Megumi at the helm. He'd just be basically a non-character like Yugi was until the last 2 arcs where he finally stepped up, and that series was popular and got to reach its end. Now it'd be up in the air if Gege had any intention of actually having Megumi develop but still that series is an example that you can get away with having your MC be a "non-character" so long as their alter ego is cool, Sukuna's murder tendency might get toned down a bit though.
>>
Sendai is one of the few episodes I've ever rewatched, and it's not been even two weeks since it aired
>>
Its amazing how we have no idea what happened to any of the characters when the manga ended, did any of them get married? had children? what are the characters doing after the big bad was defeated, oh we just do not know… feels like gege shat so hard on his own characters
>>
>>287150369
>Why is everyone in Kyoto except for Todo shat on so much by the story
it's probably because gege just wanted to glaze maki and yuta more
>>
>>287150584
>it'd be up in the air if Gege had any intention of actually having Megumi develop
He barely did in the actual manga and Megumi was one of the most important characters. Sukuna is great as he is already, no need to make him Atem 2.0,imo

Yuji important fights
>fights Mahito after Junpei dies, emotional part of season 1, great villain
>fights Todo and then teams up with Todo against Hanami, great friendship, cool teamwork fight
>fights the brothers with Nobara, set up for later
>fight some random bug
>fights some rando assassin with Megumi
>fights Choso, cool fight, finds out he's his brother, fan favorite character
>fights Mahito again, after he kills Nanami and technically Nobara as far as the audience is concerned, again, great villain, epic emotional fight
>fights Higuruma, best character of the culling games

Ok now let's look at Megumi
>Fights Kamo and then they run away from Hanami, nothingburger
>Fights unnamed Special Grade curse that doesn't even have a unique design
>Fights the rando assassin with Yuji
>Enters Dagon's domain (doesn't even fight him)
>Gets trashed by his dad, never finds out
>Almost killed by Haruta
>Fights Reggie (cool fight but absolutely 0 plot relevance)

Now, I agree Megumi as a character is not great, but he was only literally given shit tier fights and struggles. How can he ever hope to develop as a character when Yuji gets Mahito, Higuruma and his brother as opponents while Megumi gets a fucking recycled enemy design to use his domain on for the first time.
The hand was stacked against him since the very beginning, what a bunch of bullshit. Would it have killed Gege to give him ANYONE interesting to fight besides getting raped by his dad (never finding out)?
His fights have 0 emotional impact, how could it be otherwise? They are just random fights. Reggie unlike Higuruma wasn't even in any way required by the plot.

It's obviously the kind of backstory you use for a character you plan to actually use, lots of room to grow there, not something you shove on 0,5 text segment of a single episode to then offscreen her forever bar a single panel.

CG is such an odd arc lol

It still would have been odd, but I think Gege's right CG would have been better as a tournament arc
>>
>>287153149
He’s 100% right and it’s funny he realized it after the fact.

CG already *was* a tournament arc in everything but structure. Random 1v1s in boxed arenas, scoreboard system, points as currency - it was basically Yu Yu Hakusho but pretending to be 5D chess.

If he’d committed to full tournament format:
>clear brackets
>established matchups
>actual downtime between fights
>room for characters to talk and breathe

Then Tsumiki wouldn’t have felt like a plot device speedrun any%, and Angel/Kurusu wouldn’t have been “introduced lore dump immediately irrelevant.”

The biggest issue with CG wasn’t the fights (they were fire), it was that nobody felt anchored. It was just “new sorcerer appears cool ability tragic backstory gone.”

A structured tournament would’ve forced Gege to slow down, and that’s exactly what the arc needed. Instead we got a really stylish fever dream.
>>
>>287153317
>new sorcerer appears cool ability tragic backstory gone
For Megumi's opponent he forgot the backstory, that's how little he cared about his last fight

>>287150771
>Sukuna is great as he is already, no need to make him Atem 2.0,imo
yeah, he was pretty fun and enjoyable as the "other guy", gege is a fucking hack for not using him more
>>
I felt like culling games was too complicated it should not have points and or rules(outside of forced participation) just a barrier that locks you in and a free for all

Like everyone enjoys a good tournament I get it but JJK is a unique shonen and making it generic would've ruined it
>>
Lot of people here criticizing gege, if you were the writer what would've you done differently?
>>
>>287152994
Did she?
She prevented him from getting hit, but he got hit by a black flash soon after, because he got distracted by her face getting blown up like a retard.
>>
>>287153478
Why did he spend so many pages on the damn rules, when they really don't matter?
>>
>>287153486
A ton of stuff
Needless to say, changing a story Gege already wrote is easier than coming up with it from 0 like he does, so I'll give him that, but some things really were questionable and an outside observer can easily point out how things could have been better or different

why did yorozu construct sukuna's dildo rather than his cooler trident
>>
I can't believe Sukuna's backstory is genuinely that he was bullied for being ugly so he became a mass murderer. I can never take him seriously in anyway.
>>
>>287155036
Lightning is more effective than whatever the trident did I guess. It just happened Sukuna's only opponent before losing Kamutoke was Kashimo.
>>
How did Sukuna jump from Yuji to Megumi again? Shouldn’t 90% of him still be in Yuji unless he barfed all the fingers directly into Megumi’s mouth?
>>
>>287155060
I have had people in these threads unironically defend this as great villain writing
Fucking hell, Junpei had this bullying thing done and actually explored and its the same manga, but we have to take these throwaway "btw I was raped in highschool" shit seriously from the main villain
>>
>>287154130
They definitely had this art on a backburner and just slapped in 5th anni so that Nobara/Nanami/Gojo even have new art to release

>>
>>287155175
Megumi not being bulky looking and Yuji still having a clean face is already obvious
>>
>>287155060
This was never stated to be Sukuna’s backstory. He references a mom and that’s basically it. Everything else is just assumed. It’s actually annoying we got nothing because he seems to have his own plan and ambitions at the beginning of JJK but once he fully incarnates he’s like “what was my goal again? Is there anything I even want to do? Hmmmm.”
>>
>>287155060
Honestly? I think he was inspired by Thanos, who was shunned/ostracized for being deformed. It doesn't help that the actual mythical figure Ryomen Sukuna served as a monument celebrating the downfall of a fierce Jomon warrior who's infamous for being ugly and demonic, with two heads and two sets of arms. So it feels like a combination of the Sukuna myth using Thanos's backstory as a template.
>>
>>287155266
Also forgot, but I specifically mention Thanos because he already referenced him as an inspiration for Mahito whereas Sukuna's characterization in his Heian form feels like another instance of it.
>>
>>287155175
I'm more surprised Gege isn't doing any Maki illustrations because MAPPA sure as hell isn't making new maki merch
>>
>>287155259
In the final chapter Mahito said that Sukuna wanted revenge for being treated as an unwanted wretch, and Sukuna said something along the lines of not wanting to keep all the negativity from that treatment inside himself so he released it on everyone. I'm not sure what the exact wording is unless someone has the panel.

His backstory is genuinely that he was bullied for being ugly but he thought bottling up his emotions is bad so he started killing people. Even no backstory is better than this.
>>
>>287151378
Its Kurouroshi. The second Kurouroshi is the first one's child. Yuta killing it twice gave him 5 points for each one.
And yeah, if Kurouroshi sets up an egg in advance before each death, I guess you could infinitely farm it for points.
>>
>>287155175
At least they have new art, Inumaki just fucking disappeared in merch entirely and this guy used to be super popular when s1 was released
>>
>>287155386
Pretty much. Kekhito called him out because Sukuna was full of bs and the whole thing about living how he wanted was a half assed excuse.
>>
>>287155108
He learned how to put his essence into his fingers
>>
>>287155650
Inumaki was just something Gege didn't expect to be a big hit with fans because he's literally the only shafted JJK0 student when even Panda still went out blazing against Kashimo

Because it's fun and cool you meatheads. It canonically also serves the purpose to encourage the players to slaughter each other, and giving them a goal. Also the entire goddamn ritual had to be carefully designed because of the numerous binding vows Kenjaku had to make to even make it a reality.

The fun thing about JJK is the slightly complicated power system. If you want to watch brainless face smashing then go read Kaiji 8 or One Piece or something

I don't think there's anything you can do with Tsumiki because she's not a sorcerer therefore it's hard for her to get involved that isn't her being a victim which she served being one anyways

For all of Modulo's faults, Tsurugi and Yuka felt like Megumi and Tsumiki done right because you do care about Yuka being a sacrificial lamb
>>
>>287156147
Tsumiki is aware of sorcery, no? It'll be weird to think that Gojo took them in and she just didn't question the nature of their family situation

This really is the main thing, Gege is awful about giving characters moments, fleshing them out, giving you reasons to care about them. All he cares about is rules and power systems and fights. The fights might be cool in theory but if you don’t give us a reason to care about the characters first then they feel shallow and unsatisfying.

Yorozu, or Tsumiki?

Seriously, Tsumiki's entire life sucks. Her deadbeat single mom got hitched to a deadbeat traumatized womanizer, she ended up with that guy's dead wife's surname (not even her own mom's), and then they both left her to raise her ungrateful cunt of a younger brother. And then she just basically dies while tagging along with friends to a haunted bridge, without even an apology from said brother.

In terms of changes, I'd start with her also being a biological kid of Toji's. Maybe his wife could've died from the complications of having back-to-back kids or something.

She could still be a non-sorcerer, and very insecure about it considering her bloodline and not being able to fight alongside her brother. Then have her be an awakened sorcerer during CG and be able to do literally anything finally. Considering her entire character is "being kid and selfless and not cursing people" maybe she's just Megumi's backup or even a healer, she could have a natural talent for RCT like Shoko.

And then still have her be killed by Megkuna. I feel like having the real her be killed by him would be more significant than as Yorozu's vessel. Maybe she can't even bring herself to fight Megumi's body.

Really though, I don't think starting the story off with the Culling Games would actually be that awful for a story, there's series that have done that albeit they are mostly of the actual horror/slasher kinds where suddenly there are monsters or people turn into "monsters" where its kill or be killed. It wouldn't be the JJK as we know it and probably not have much length to it but something that could work. Part of the problem I see with the Culling Games in theory should be the one with the biggest stakes and highest body count for the series, but in actuality we barely lose any of the "good guys" during it. Hell, most of the deaths happen prior/outside of them like with Yaga and Mai. Its hard to feel the severity of CG when basically only really Tsumiki is a casualty and she's barely a character.
>>
>>287157170
For something called Culling Games, the actual body count is pathetically low compared to Shibuya, yeah

>>287152127
Hey you forgot propeller head guy under Yuji!

I believe Gege didn't want Megumi to be popular, more like he intended Megumi to be very hated for how pathetic he is for a shonen deuteragonist.

I'm sure he was surprised at how he somehow manages to be top 3 every time in polls though
>>
>>287157349
Megumi might be the most blatant case of a character so non existent despite his screentime and "importance" yet somehow remaining popular because he has a cute face. There's really no other explanation why he has so many fans still.

>Megumi might be the most blatant case of a character so non existent despite his screentime and "importance" yet somehow remaining popular because he has a cute face
You forgot Naoya.
>>
>>287157410
There aren't that many characters for people to pick a fave if you think of it from a casual point of view. Yuji, Megumi, Gojo, and Sukuna have the longest screentime in the series. As for promotional art. Yuji/Megumi/Gojo/Nobara/Nanami and then later Yuta (because Maki doesn't exist) have numerous material from art to figures to trinkets.

Megumi is essentially strawhat popularity syndrome where he's a main cast member that isn't reflected in the actual canon material.
>>
>>287156895
I don't like that Sukuna's backstory is just recycled from Toji but 1000 years ago with less information.

>>287157410
He and Nobara were carried hard by headcanon because let's face it. Nobara suffered way worse by basically being "dead' for 70% of the manga

It's also why shipping her with Yuji just looks insanely bad because they come more off as bro friends rather than potential lovers
>>
Bakugou has a way more pathetic fight record for a deuteragonist if you ask me. Name a battle that isn't him fighting his own classmates or a filler movie fight.

To give credit to Megumi, he won most of his fights and he actually never really lost a single one he's in.
Meanwhile, Aki never won anything. he is arguably more of a universal punching bag than Denji

Another thing really lacking for the CG compared to Shibuya is showing what happened in like day 1 with people suddenly becoming sorcerers and having to kill people. Shibuya showed when the veil got dropped and people getting sucked in by Dagon, on top of all the others who got transfigured by Mahito once the other sorcerers actually got in. In contrast, the only beginning you can kinda see is Dhruv's shikigami wrecking the environment while Kenjaku escorts people outside, and then the only other civilians come from Sendai where only 2 were killed on-screen.

Also would be nice to see the pov of someone actually "normal" before they turned into a sorcerer then were forced to have to kill people to survive or just in self-defense. Feels like this ought to have been either Amai or Remi but we are only told about what they experienced rather than actually see it, and one of which is a known liar so hard to take them in face value. And somehow the only non-incarnated sorcerers we actually follow is a guy who was already so depressed and disillusioned enough with the law that they readily killed people right away or someone so crazy and delusional that they were able to prevent anyone from dying despite not even being aware of their ability.
>>
>>287157782
Aki was more like a roadkill victim who is already dead but cars will still drive on it. Denji is more of the punching bag who got its sand refilled because Fujimoto felt like doing one more round.

You might argue Denji got the happier end than Yuji at least.
>>

To be fair Gege did too
>>
>>287154532
This, unironically. I admire how she took her simping so seriously. If Sukuna comes back somehow I want her to come back too

I don't mind Megumi not being powerful to begin with. I feel like we should've moved on from the typical edgy prodigies who magically get all their abilities and overshadow long veteran sorcerers.
My only complaint is that he was gone for the final arc but I understand why he acted the way he did. Someone needed to be the victim because there was no way Yuji was going to be benched for the final arc.

Fortnite is so cringe and it crashes so much with jjk kek. Also isn't Gege too old to be hooked to Fortnite? A tournament was 100% better and way less complicated. No rule shit, just make Sukuna's fingers or other shit the prize

Because Megumi's personality (and appearance) was boring to begin with. Being a jobber was just the icing on the cake. That archetype is only popular with the japanese because muh polite or something, but they also like Naoya because "he speaks in a cute manner" so their taste is shit anyway.
Yuji was weaker than Megumi until the Sukuna fight, but he still had a good personality and it was just fun to watch him, even if all he could do is punch and suffer.

Polite is the wrong word for it, I guess. Japanese-looking, polite jap speak in proper settings using "watashi", respect for authority, pale skin, laid back, "cool" demeanor. They seem to prefer that over more brash characters

Use the Hasaba twins as an example, they prefer Mimiko's appearance and personality to her loud-mouth tanned skin gyaru sister

Anime only here, does Megumi ever level the fuck up in a major way or how does the Zenin clan hereditary technique suck so bad when they are supposedly in a rivalry with the Gojo clan?

It's pretty damning that Gege just made Yorozu look like an alt-Tsumiki anyway and made her a significant character in Sukuna's small circle. In hindsight he really just took everything about Megumi (his 10 shadows, his sister) and used them as a vehicle to add more onto Sukuna's character instead.

Megumi is just a dick, which is why he's a more controllable vessel for Sukuna.
There is no light of God within him.
>>
>>287159492
Megumi had his sister as a parental figure, and Yuji had his grandpa. But yeah he has this 'teenage rebellion' phase he's struggling with.
Yuta's frail health in his youth had him semi-abandoned in hospitals, then he got completely abandoned by his family when Rika got cursed. He was extremely alone and isolated, and Gojo gave him a new life, so he is his father. I think being related to him just strengthened that "you're my family." He's extremely devoted. He was to free Rika, he was to Gojo, and he died of sorrow from losing Maki.
>>
>>287159492
Yuji and Megumi lost their parents to death, Yuta was abandoned. People with abandonment issues could show distrust or could latch immediately. Megumi acts kind of like a feral, unsocialized kitten, while Yuta acts the opposite, the overaffectionate one who would latch onto your leg to take them home.

>Megumi acts kind of like a feral, unsocialized kitten
Maybe I just don't like people who acted so high and mighty to their utmost autistic level especially in a job that has very few in numbers and they're close to dying everytime. He comes across as someone who would leave someone to die (which he actually did)
>>
Can't believe I'm saying this but JJK should've gotten an actual training arc because holy shit, if someone didn't know any better, it looked like a lot of characters were just thrown into battle with little to no training and they had to figure them out themselves how to fight in a real battle
>>
>>287161639
>He comes across as someone who would leave someone to die (which he actually did)
This is why I don't understand why Yuji never felt any hatred or resentment towards Megumi. It doesn't make sense. He's literally responsible for both Gojo and Choso's deaths by choosing not to do anything

Unless Modulo timeline implied that Yuji no longer likes Megumi and is happy to forget about him for good.
>>
>>287161639
>He comes across as someone who would leave someone to die (which he actually did)
This is technically his mindset to begin with
>Only save those who are worthy
But Choso needed to die though. I mean, those innocent lives inquired a comeuppance
>>
>>287161679
Well yeah, that's basically what happened.
Also basically none of the times that the cast were in danger were a deliberate training choice
>the higher ups tried to kill yuji by sending him inside a domain without gojo
>Yuji went on his own to fight mahito
>The disaster curses broke into the exchange event unannounced
>The cast went off on their own to fight the bridge spirit despite being told it was allocated to grade 1 sorcerers
>the cast were basically only supposed to stay on guard for curses and transfigured humans in shibuya while gojo cleaned house
>the cast were total pariahs from jujutsu society and the clans were controlled by kenny during the culling games

Every single example of that is reasonable, and it's fully acknowledged by the characters that the tokyo students progress unusually quickly

I see it that JJK's power system is super unfair for those who are hard workers and that you really need one battle to unlock things. Dabura is far by the worst offender of this

>I see it that JJK's power system is super unfair for those who are hard workers and that you really need one battle to unlock things.
I think this is why Megumi could never reach his potential because he did it in a normal slow burn way while Yuji got all of his new abilities in one arc. Granted the context is required for the characters to cheat their way but you get what i mean
>>
>>287161803
Darbura is an extreme example who contradicts a lot of what is established earlier in the story.
The two examples we're shown before of natural genius in jujutsu sorcery (gojo and higuruma) are both much more modest in comparison, and they're also set up as having practiced the things they realize in battle a lot before it happens
>>
>>287161830
>I think this is why Megumi could never reach his potential because he did it in a normal slow burn way
That and Megumi never asked Gojo for help. This in turn makes Megumi a lot weaker despite having the potential to surpass him
>>
>>287161803
>because Maru told him the concept of it despite not having one himself.
This part is still bullshit. Maru never encountered a DE user and Tsurugi is just simple domain.
>>
>>287161873
His CT granted Dabura a DE. Calling it now
>>
>>287161803
Dabura is basically the opposite version of Megumi who achieved everything. Even more apparent that Dabura is Light while Megumi is shadow. But people won't admit that and equate him to Sukuna or Gojo because muh strongest.

At least those two implied Megumi wanted to get stronger unlike the common belief that Megumi never wanted to achieve being a decently strong sorcerer.

They appear the same way in flashbacks, no?
Also I'm pretty sure the only incarnated "women" we see are uraume and uro (and uraume did ask to be incarnated in a woman, IIRC)

There was some hope that the aliens coming in would help bring back the CE levels of japan back to "normal" as well as maybe that the kidnapping would result in sorcerers developing overseas, the last few chapters being about eliminating CE in total really came out of the blue and deflated all expectations even with that whole thing of Yuji turning himself into fingers.

Make her alive at the beginning of the series even if she's sick or something else is wrong with her, we get scenes between at the very least her and Megumi, Toji and Gojo, maybe also Shoko and Nanami as it was implied they sometimes babysat them when Gojo was too busy, and put her in a coma before the Shibuya Incident. Don't make her interact directly with Yuji, one part of the tragedy is that she and Yuji have very similar personalities and ideals and it makes it easier for Megumi to stay strong and not have a mental breakdown just yet. Having her befriend Yuji and maybe Nobara as well would be too "easy".

>She could still be a non-sorcerer, and very insecure about it considering her bloodline and not being able to fight alongside her brother
I agree with all of this, I even mentioned that in previous threads. However I think it would be better to keep her ignorant of everything supernatural. It would make Toji's hesitation to sell Megumi to the clan make even more sense. Toji would have to choose between risking putting her in a awful situation he dealt with himself to make Megumi live well after all. All we get between her and Toji is a volume extra in which he tells her that if two people are fighting each other and she wants to break the fight she can just beat them up.

If there's one thing I'd praise gege's character writing for, it's that he's very good at writing nuanced and believable people who are also pretty shitty people. The fact that toji is a degenerate hedonist gambling addict is important to his character, and to the way megumi thinks about the world being fundamentally unfair.

It makes her a relevant character instead of a cardboard with "PLOT DEVICE" written on her forehead, for once. Also, it'd still make Toji a shit father. Both imply she was still abandoned, and don't take away Toji's gambling or whatever.

>If there's one thing I'd praise gege's character writing for, it's that he's very good at writing nuanced and believable people who are also pretty shitty people

??? Toji was given a sympathetic background to justify why he was a gambling addict and murderer, and Gege implies that he wasn't during the time he was with his wife, and then spiraled back into it when he lost her. He sold Megumi to "give him a place", since he'd actually have a future within the clan thanks to his technique. He went to heaven lol

If anything, Tsumiki being his bio daughter would've made him a shittier dad who sacrificed one kid to save the other; she would've been miserable in the clan just like him.
>>
>>287165699
Toji would still be a horrible guy if Tsumiki were his biological daughter. The only difference is that him getting married a second time would matter even less. Just picture him and ms Fushiguro, they have a baby girl who's completely normal, it makes Toji think he finally reached his goal of having a normal, stable life, ms Fushiguro gets pregnant again and they have a baby boy this, she dies soon after for some reason and Toji still loses his shit and turns back into a gambling addicted prostitute/assassin. He would still be a useless bum for doing this and for abandoning his kids. If anything it would make him look even worse. Instead of putting Megumi in some deep shit but still being a relatively decent step dad to another destitute kid it would make him look like the ultimate bum who knowingly risked putting Tsumiki in an even worse situation than what he dealt with as a kid.

If anything, it's weird how Tsumiki isn't related to Megumi by blood, it makes her look like she was a last second addition to the plot and I even wondered if it were a case like in Samurai Flamenco where Megumi hallucinated her existence to cope with his shit life and he was making her everyone else's problem because he was that schizophrenic. I get that legally speaking it makes sense she had to change her family name to some unrelated dead woman's given how Japanese laws work but everything about her looks contrived as fuck. My conspiracy theory is that Gege decided at the last second to not make her and Megumi blood related to avoid editors screaming at him for making one of the good guy a deranged siscon that would make Freud roll in his grave at terminal velocity. Just making her biologically related to Megumi and Toji adds a lot of implications to the story and other characters that make perfect sense.

>My conspiracy theory is that Gege decided at the last second to not make her and Megumi blood related to avoid editors screaming at him for making one of the good guy a deranged siscon that would make Freud roll in his grave at terminal velocity.
Could also be that he had already decided for Tsumiki to be the vessel of a deranged Sukuna fangirl, so he made them not-blood related to give a semblance of separation from incest.
>>
>>287165902
>It makes her a relevant character
No it doesn't. Being biologically related to someone doesn't make you any more relevant to the story than a total rando. It also doesn't make toji any more or less shit when she's on her own either way.

>??? Toji was given a sympathetic background to justify why he was a gambling addict and murderer, and Gege implies that he wasn't during the time he was with his wife, and then spiraled back into it when he lost her.

What part of that do you think makes him a good person lmao?
At the time gojo picks megumi up he hasn't seen either of his parents in months and they were basically taking care of themselves at 8 years old. Also even in the most charitable possible interpretation of his actions, he did literally nothing for tsumiki and would have left her totally at the mercy of the zen'in clan

>If anything, Tsumiki being his bio daughter would've made him a shittier dad
And why do you think that makes the writing better lmao? It's not good because he's the maximally shit dad, it's good because he's shit in believable and nuanced ways. He's a degenerate with no impulse control who lives only for himself, but he also clearly still cares about megumi a lot despite his actions in the story.
I'm also like 80% sure that it's outright stated that both of them were degenerates, but I don't remember.

>>287165968
I'm gonna be honest, what you're suggesting is just way more trodden ground than the mixed family dynamic that tsumiki/megumi have. The fact that Tsumiki's connection to jujutsu sorcery is purely incidental is important for her character, as is the fact that the two of them willingly choose to stay together despite their parents abandoning them (and that they're both left behind, rather than just one of them).
As I said to the other anon it's not just about making toji look like a dick.

Wrong manga to claim this, considering the family plot line of Yuji, Yuta being confirmed as both fujiwara/sugawara, the entire existence of the Three Clans and all the conflict that comes from being born into them or being related, and how noritoshi was made the head because he was the biological son of the head even if his mom was a mistress, same with Megumi despite not growing up in the clan, the death paintings, the identical twin thing, etc etc. How techniques are hereditary.
Blood connections are very relevant in this manga.

Also, the entire point is to make Tsumiki's character better, not Toji's, so I don't really care either way about him in this scenario. He can whatever you want him to be

>The fact that Tsumiki's connection to jujutsu sorcery is purely incidental is important for her character

Is it? Is it really? Because that's not really explored at all. The only relevant thing brought up is that she's a non-sorcerer and would suffer in the zenin. She literally only got screentime in Megumi's brief flashbacks and she's literally been dead since the manga began, she was less of a character than Sasaki or Iguchi. A literal plot device
>>
>>287166169
>How is Naoya so fucking popular?
I'm not even joking when I say this but it's because he's the male version of a slutty gyaru, he has a Kyoto accent that's crazy popular among Japanese people, and he gets his comeuppance in a way that's so over the top that Maki killing him twice in a row in akin to binge watching Tom and Jerry episodes.
>>
>>287166169
UNIRONICALLY, fujos.
Hates women and glazes men (toji + satoru), is handsome, rich, and speaks in a "cute" dialect. That's all you need.

>>
>>287166169
>one-dimensional mysoginistic asshole in a clan of one-dimensional mysoginistic assholes that exist purely because Gege wanted to draw FemToji killing Japanese conservatives
Naoya isn't particularly one dimensional. He's a continuation of Gege's commentary on strength and represents structured rebellion from conservatism.
While he's still incredibly misogynistic, he's one of the few to openly acknowledge and pursue toji's strength rather than hiding in fear of it and he points out the hypocrisy of the other hei mocking toji while they rely on tools as well.
Obviously he's someone who benefits from and supports conservatism, but he doesn't have the strategic vision that Naobito has and he isn't blessed like megumi and so he doesn't adhere to it blindly. He's also far more individualistic than Naobito and generally cares about himself more than the clan.

I don't understand why people like him so much, but he clearly adds a lot to the setting and the zenin clan. Imagine how dry it would be if it was basically just Ogi, Ranta and Jinichi

No, it's husbando fags. They're separate categories. Lots of fujoshi like Naoya when they see him getting molested by Toji, but the majority of his fans want to either rape and torture him themselves, or they want to feel special by imagining he would treat them right, unlike how he behaves with other women.

>If Maki had been male, she'd rank higher in popularity.
She would easily be in the top 5 or at least top 10 characters, but she would also be way too different.

>Wrong manga to claim this, considering the family plot line
Yes retard those dynastic/family ties are relevant because of the way that they impact the characters, in the same way that megumi and tsumiki not being related but still choosing to stay together says something about their relationship.
>how noritoshi was made the head because he was the biological son of the head
He was made the head because he had the hereditary technique, and his mum was still an outcast. You want to try and name the other potential heirs of the Kamo clan from the main branch btw? Obviously they must be super relevant characters if they're the direct sons of the clan head

>Also, the entire point is to make Tsumiki's character better
Then it would be great if you gave any explanation for how this change does that :)

>Is it? Is it really? Because that's not really explored at all.
It doesn't have to be directly explored to reflect on her character, anon. Just like how you've invented a load of headcanon about what could have been despite only suggesting that she's the biological child of toji.
The entire point of the tragedy of her curse and the bridge is that she's not a sorcerer, and she has no connection to jujutsu which isn't incidental and yet she's the victim of it. There's no other named character in the story who is anything like that.
>>
>>287166360
>but she would also be way too different
How so?
I don't think her being a woman impacted the plot that much, except for being considered by Naoya for marriage and birthing Yuta's kids. She still joined the Kukuru unit which is basically all (no-CT) males. She wasn't bullied and looked down on for being a woman, it was because she was a non-sorcerer

>>
>>287166509
A major part of why she's treated like shit by her family is because she's a girl. Same thing with her sister and them being identitcal twins is important so if Maki becomes a guy, then Mai also becomes a guy. Mai wouldn't have to worry about the same issues besides being percieved as weak by her relatives and would have had an easier time getting out of the clan instead of becoming a generic maid who's sexually harassed by a sexist pedo cousin. The whole dialog between Mai, Momo and Nobara wouldn't even exist. And we know how retarded men truly are, a male version of Mai would cope with the situation by attacking anyone lower than him and after being raised by bums like the Zenin clan he would probably cope by being sexist himself. Maki's goal wouldn't change too much, it's more her interactions with Mai and Naoya and her own parents that would change. And then there's also potential fujobait between male!Maki and Yuta. Which means either way Modulo wouldn't exist or would be very different, but also Gege would make their relation a lot more ambiguous, like he did with Gojo and Geto and wouldn't confirm they're canon.

In terms of popularity a male version of Maki would be a lot more popular just because of powerscaling normies treating him like a cooler and more heroic Toji, and because of fujoshi and husbandofags. Althout fujoshi and husbandofags like her a lot, but not the same way.
>>
>>287166628
>More heroic Toji
Literally more evil than Toji. Killing your entire extended family down to the last woman and child, including your own mom, is far worse than killing one teenage girl for cash

>in the same way that megumi and tsumiki not being related but still choosing to stay together says something about their relationship

That means very little in context. Megumi thinks of her as his sister because they were raised together and bonded. Both parents abandoned them, they were 6-7 when Gojo found them. What other choice did they have at that age but to stay together? You think Megumi will just be like, yeah I was raised with her but send her to foster care now and I'll go my own way. Being blood related wouldn't minimize this at all, because Megumi doesn't care about blood ties but cares about the bond they forged during their time together, it'd just be for Tsumiki's character. Having a single blood Zenin not be a total cunt would be nice too, it'd be a nice contrast to all the other ones we meet.

>Then it would be great if you gave any explanation for how this change does that
>>287156673
read nigga read, maybe you're confusing me with the other anon, but the whole point is to give her literally anything. If youre that anal about the potential incest and don't want the blood ties, then just take out that part and keep the rest.

The truth is that she can't remain ignorant of the jujutsu world if she's going to be an actual character in the story about said jujutsu world and not just another victim/casualty of it. Also, incredibly strange that they kept her in the dark about curses being real so she can go play around in a cursed bridge thinking nothing will happen.
>>
>>287166628
Actually, I didn't even think about Mai, so I agree now.
Being female is a lot more important and impactful for Mai's character than Maki's.

We do get to see 10 shadows used in a more optimal way later. Just not by Megumi. It's genuinely a good technique even without Mahoraga, it's just Megumi doesn't have the stats for it

He wants to pretend to be smart by putting rules, but isn't very good at figuring out how to work around them when they get in the way of what he wants to do.

We didn't have the concept of chanting and hand gestures for cursed techniques (except casting veil) until 200+ chapters in and suddenly it was really important to do so.

What is that character's name, anon?

Hana is retarded and a walking plot device, that'a a fact
but would she have been better without Angel and just being a modern sorcerer like Higuruma and Takaba, so it doesn't make it so Kenny brought the Anti-Sukuna back to life for no reason, and Hana complerely disregarded her literal inner voice at Sukuna's horrid porn-tier acting?

Megumi could have left to the zen'in clan whenever he wanted. Toji could have taken megumi but left Tsumiki.

Not that it matters because fictional characters don't need to have a real name, their role in the story and personality is what defines them
Or perhaps you are under the impression any character we do not know the full legal name of stops being a character?

CG should’ve been an arc where everyone in the main cast befriends the new side characters to give them and the arc itself some actual worth and to work together to defeat Sukuna but Gege is just too autistic for that

Characters can be effective without a name, but functionally characters who have meaningful effects on a story need names as a matter of functionalism.

>He fucking could have done, dude. They didn't have any connection at all besides sharing half of a shitty parent duo and he was seven.

Do you really believe this was a plausible thing that would happen or are you forgetting the timeline? Megumi was born in dec 2002. It was 2006 Toji told Gojo about megumi and died, but he actually went to get him in 2009. So Megumi was around 3-4 when Toji died, though it's implied that Toji left a bit before that age when he made the deal with Naobito. He was raised with Tsumiki from that age and her mom, but the mom also abandoned them so he really only had Tsumiki as his whole world for some amount of time. It's not that they just randomly met at age 7. So no, blood ties or not he wouldn't just abandon her to go to some shady clan based on the words of some shady guy that he was annoyed with for being so callous about the whole situation.

>I asked the same fucking question to that reply dumbass. You've just given descriptive statements with no indication at all about how it actually improves the story
>No one is asking for that

The original post was a creative prompt on how to fix Tsumiki's character, not the STORY or anyone else. It's a creative prompt. If you don't agree with how I'd personally fix her character, you're entirely free to interpret your own way and explore that. It's literally a prompt to ignite your imagination, go make some headcanons, im not Gege nor am I a rogue anime director looking for an anime-only plot

Stylish fever dream is an apt description of how it felt to me. And it lasted right to the end.
There was a 30ish day break between unsealing and the final fight, when they were prepping for that, but we only got glimpses of that in between the last fight, so it never really felt like a break, more like meant for exposition as new abilities came up during the battle

Ouch anon. Shouldn't have said that, you just admitted that Sukuna is a massive fucking bitch.
If we go by that he wasn't defeated in the "traditional sense", then he wasn't "traditionally" strong when he fought using the ten shadows.
The victory condition of the heroes was for them to sever his connection to Megumi, and they succeeded. They defeated him.
>>
>>287168246
>We don't even know if his mom was starving herself on purpose
We'll never know but it was most likely because of a famine based on the era when Sukuna was born.
>>
>>287168246
Her mom was probably poor and she starved, fetuskuna instinctively ate the other twin
Miko-chan probably adopted him and gave him a good education
>>
>>287168209
>he only lost cuz he was forcefully removed from Megumi
He also lost the mental battle because he cared too much about Yuji's ideals and proving him wrong.

Body snatching is one of Sukuna's techniques he learnt from watching Kenjaku turning people into cursed objects. If Gojo wasn't a nepobaby 100% reliant on his inherited technique he could've snatched a body too.

No. 10 seconds was the total amount of time he tanked UV during the five DEs. Gojo assumed he only took 0.01 seconds because of the delay in Sukuna activating his DE during the last clash.

All things Gojo could've done himself btw. Turning yourself into a cursed object isn't an innate technique it's just something you can learn, not Sukuna's fault Gojo didn't. The only one with an "unfair" advantage (not a thing in a fight to the death between wizards) is Gojo for having an infinitely better innate technique than Sukuna.

Reply to me like a man, faggot. Sukuna learned how to turn himself into a cursed object, so if Gojo was his equal he could've learned it as well and snatched a body with a good technique. Gojo didn't have that dawg in him like Sukuna.
