Volume 0 getting a movie before a probable season 2 makes sense because it introduces a lot of poo poo that is very relevant to parts of the Shibuya Arc and the aftermath.

Also Demon Slayer did utterly amazing with it's plot relevant movie.

It could be the Star Plasma Vessel too, which I'd only suggest as a possibility because the transition to that flashback was insanely jarring and confusing until I figured out what the gently caress was going on 2-3 chapters into it.

I hope Maki and Nobara pull through after the Shibua arc. Especially Nobara, I binged through the series and she's quickly becoming one of my favorite Shounen female protags, every fight she's in is awesome.

I don't think it's his resurrected dead wife. I think his old wife just died and he got a new one his Dad did not like.

I read it more as because Yuji's Dad's previous wife died before he could have children, he then got with creepy stitches woman and had a baby with her. More of a rebound than necrophilia. Maybe I read it wrong?

Nobara is probably alive given that we haven't heard word one about her. As for Maki, the one dickhead Zenin guy described her as [being in the process of] dying. Given that her dad was in a similar state and succumbed to his injuries doesn't make me that hopeful for her- she'll either pull through, or this will be character development for Mai who'll probably get a scene with her dying sister.

That's one possibility, but I'm thinking/hoping that Maki's deal with being born with little Cursed Energy for a stronger body means she'll pull through. Now that Yuta's back I'd like to see a reunion of the Ch 0 students.

Naobito is her uncle. As he is the Dickhead Naoya's dad. His little brother who also showed up at the meeting is Maki and Mai's dad. Even if Maki lives, I don't expect her to be a great state given how Namami looked after he got roasted by Jogo.

I'm actually not sure why we're all still talking in spoilers now that I think about it since this is like...at least a few chapters ago but we don't really know much about people with Heavenly Restriction other than Toji apparently being a complete freak even for somebody with a Heavenly Restriction because he had *zero* cursed energy rather than simply very little+no inherit technique like Maki. If the nature of that can change we'll see it I imagine.

Since binging the manga, I also haven’t seen that Binding Vow Sukuna made with Yuji to revive him the first time ever be used (the one where Sukuna can take control for one minute after saying enchain and also maybe not hurting or killing anyone during that minute?)

Yeah Sukuna has not used it yet. Presumably he has a big plan, and is very confident in it, enough that he did not take Mahito, and Jogo's opportunity's to allow him to force Yuji into giving him the body.

Spoiler for the next chapter.

We see Maki, she has apparently recovered enough to walk around due to her strong body and constitution, and a lot of reverse curse technique applications. However even RCT won't heal everything so she has a new look and may have lost her right eye.

Scars and stuff are cool, but i think its funny that Megumi and Itadori are looking pristine after this last arc. I think JJK has some of the coolest female characters in a while so for the them to be so thoroughly thrashed this last arc is like ehh. Shounen mangas always have a hard time dealing with the female cast and im not against the characters going through hard ship. When you look at it Itadori is the protagonist with the super power, Megumi supposedly has some great destiny, but where does that leave Nobara, Maki, and co? I want them to kick rear end. Nobara especially has a really cool ability for a shounen series and i really like her atypical personality.

while it'd be weird if gege only scarred the female members, isn't it a part of the whole ongoing theme about how ultra-conservative, out of touch, and misogynistic the big 4 jujutsu families are with respect to women. There's that double standard in the jujutsu community about how female jujutsu sorcerers have to be both talented and idealistically beautiful, with special attention paid to facial aesthetics, in order to be respected

The scarring stuff seems to be inline with the whole old establishment vs youth thing. Badass anime ladies with scars are gonna kick some rear end and people like Naoya will probably be made to eat their words

What'd be funny is that if the spoilers indicate that Maki's right eye is gone, that makes her a pair with Nobara who lost her left eye. Cyclops twins.

episode 0 being made into a movie makes sense

wonder if they'll do the same thing for the gojo flashback. it'd prob be better if they did since it feels awkwardly wedged into the story as is

It’s on the app as chapters 0.1 through 0.4 of Jujutsu Kaisen.

I thought that Himeno and Quanxi had already sufficiently established that eyepatches on women ruled in Shonen Jump monster hunting manga.

And she can't really be blamed for anything given that the one who gave her the scars was probably the 2nd or 3rd most powerful Curse Spirit we have seen, and everyone else who got burned by him died.
