It would be pretty fun, a defense attorney who's given up on the judicial system defending his own opponent from his own power. my bet is he does but it goes to the final retrial

RatHat posted:Going against your own technique probably has severe consequences. According to Kenjaku not really. According to him, breaking a Binding Vow with another person is a super bad idea, cause you have no idea what the penalty will be other then bad. However breaking a Binding Vow with yourself is not a huge issue, as it just means you lose whatever benefit the Binding gave you.

I like that analogy of writers as gardeners vs architects. An architect is like "I think it'd be sick for a defense attorney to defend Itadori against his own technique now lets make that happen" vs a gardener who plants a defense attorney character and then is like "hmmm what would happen here if we did this" Personally, I'm an architect, I want a ninja to do a badass flip so I create that ninja full form out of my brain and command him to do a flip. Does it rule? Yes. Does my creative writing professor like it? Hell yes.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:I'm not a writer so I wouldn't know. It's not the only method, but it is a common one. Some writers basically just start at the start and let the character developments come "naturally", while others map things out in detail so they know the ending before the story starts. Depending on the writer, something like this sometimes starts with "I need someone to judge Itadori for Sukuna's crimes", or an idea for a character that lead to realizing he could do something like this, or even just a random image. Writers are different, and without specifics, it's hard to guess how things were handled.

Higuruma was willing to murder Yuji for being underage and playing Pachinko, it would be weird if he flipped because Yuji turned out to be the vessel that was used to commit mass murder, that he has explicitly taken responsibility for. I like Higuruma already as a character but it would take a lot for me to believe him coming around on Yuji and stop murdering people for non-violent infractions. Im still holding out hope that Nobara will turn up at the 11th hour to save someone as an eye patch wearing bad rear end, even though I know it's not going to happen :< Lethemonster fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Nov 15, 2021 |

he's willing to murder yuji for points, there's no indication he personally cares about the infractions unless i missed a line, because he's become broken and doesn't care about anything but lying in bathtubs fully clothed these days

Yea he wasnt willing to murder Yuji over the pachinko thing but because he is in a literal death game. The pachinko thing was just a way to limit Yuji's cursed energy to make him easier to kill.

To be exact he’s willing to kill anyone that attacks him, he’s not interested in the points themselves.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the guy whose introductory chapter shows him losing it at an unjust legal system is probably going to somehow save Yuji from himself.

It's also worth noting that Higuruma hasn't killed every sorcerer he's encountered in the culling game. He is said to have defeated the helicopter head guy prior to Yuji so this whole exchange is a mix of his own angst at society mixed with Yuji squaring up to fight when their conversation wasn't going his way.

Just judging by the reaction on HIguruma's face you can tell he doesn't buy Yuji's capable of something like this. I mean this is the same kid who came to him asking to stop the forced killing rule, which a mass murderer wouldn't really care about.

It's obvious how it's gonna go, just going to feel a bit clunky to me. I would like a new character to take Nanamin's spot though. I miss the world's most middle aged 28 year old office worker. Would you guys recommend someone completely new start from chapter 0, or read it later on in a similar order in which things came out? My friend and I watched the anime and Ive convinced him to pick up the manga. I liked the order in which I found things out but I dont know if seeing Geto get owned out the gate would necessarily be a worse storytelling experience.

Ah I double checked and 0 wasnt added to the Jump app where I am until last year. I confused it being added with it being written/published then. And that got reinforced when the anime started in the same place I started reading, with the adaptation of 0 only being announced recently. Whoops! I only have the app so didn't even know it existed until then. It fit really nicely because that was around the point where Okkotsu turned up having made a vow to be Yuji's executioner. His roles in chapter 0 and when Yuji meets him contrasted well.

Just realized that Judgeman might be good for information gathering if it lines up right, cause there's no way Higuruma should have knowledge of Sukuna, right? Or hell Yuji entering the pachinko parlor.

Judgeman is stated to know everything about a person accused. But the only info it shares with Higuruma is the envelope of evidence, and the case it is accusing a person of.

There's a bit of a distinction here. Any sentence passed by Judgeman doesn't seem to fall under Higuruma's control so stuff like confiscation will always happen. The trial process should also not be something he can interrupt and he even says to Yuji that Judgeman was "impatient" during the discussion portion of the trial. But the death sentence and Gavel are the areas that Higuruma can control if he executes them

Keep in mind that, as far as I'm aware, Higuruma has mostly (entirely?) just been murdering sorcerers, who are mostly hosed up and bad, so it kind of makes sense that he wouldn't exactly hold much good will towards Itadori.

Itadori is also a big dork who easily falls for stuff like this compared to people who might be more savy and aren't just outright murderers who can defend themselves better.

I love that where you’d expect most characters to consider killing Mahito’s golems or Choso’s brothers out of their control or not even people Yuji does and more importantly he remembers that he did that. The pure hearted Shonen protagonist is a dime a dozen but it feels like we really get to see Yuji demonstrate that quality in big and small ways.

Why did I have doubts. How foolish of me. It's great, so succinct. Higuruma I hope you last more than a couple of chapters and Yuji gets to have an adult to look up to and give a diminutive name to again.

Great character arc. I liked how how Higuruma ended up in the same position at the end of the fight as when Yuji first met him lying in the bathtub. The whole justice/sight/blindness thing going on is on point too, I think this is the first time we've actually seen a panel of Higuruma with his eyes closed when decided not to follow through with exacting justice. Parallels what he said in his introduction chapter about lady justice and wanting to keep his eyes open. Also lol that I just realized the sight theme is why Gege designed him to have a 1000 yard deathstare constantly
