Okkotsu probably would prefer to be the one fighting a possible Sukuna transformation than letting Rika do it and possibly get exorcised. Funny enough this ties directly into the factoid from the recent analysis book where Gege flat out says Sukuna is stronger than Rika. If Rika had went for the kill, Sukuna probably would've come out and that might not end well for her- I dunno how specific Sukuna's binding vow with Itadori to not kill anyone if he takes the driver's seat himself is.

Buzzsaw Roomba posted:Yuji's parents had to be significant, but I didn't think the apparent series villain would turn out to be Yuji's mom, in the body-hopping sense. I don't remember any hints to that in Kamo-Geto's previous appearances. So he really is Choso's brother.

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.

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.

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.

Jogou I want to say was confirmed as the strongest of the disaster curses and they're a cut above every actual cursed spirit or fleshed curse shown in the series so far that isn't Sukuna. I know Okkutsu gets played up a lot but I'm not actually sure he could've taken Jogou or Mahito due to general incompatibility in techniques (Jougou being able to just poo poo out massively powerful heat AOEs that even the Zenin frameskip poo poo can't effectively dodge, and Mahito being effectively invulnerable to anyone whose technique can't damage his soul). Jougou kinda hilariously gets humiliated in every straight up fight he has outside of him stopping by to hurt all our favorite charcters, because he ends up fighting the two characters shown so far who're capable of just overhand dunking on him- Gojo and Sukuna.

Mahito being the biggest 1v1 problem for 95% of the cast just because of his technique despite being the initially weakest disaster curse is cool, because technique remaining a real part of the power dynamic in shonen is cool. Of course there are still characters who just are overwhelmingly powerful like Gojo but they're the power ceiling.

Grouchio posted:Does the author not give a poo poo about Nobara? It's been at least 15 chapters since she got her face melted and almost died. She's almost certainly coming back, even with the whole thing where Megumi shares a look with Yuji that seems to imply her death. We're plunging ahead into a new arc so I kinda doubt we're gonna resolve that arc and be like "Okay yeah now that we got time to be sad about it, Nobara is legit dead"

Nobara's technique also seems like something that could be incredibly useful given the stuff that Tengen explains in the coming chapter.

The way I interpreted what happened was: Mai took her cursed energy and all of Maki's and made her that sword from nothing. Then with her death, that basically made Maki into Toji.

I got a feeling the end of this series is going to be one of the proposed "solutions" to the problem of cursed energy. Everyone becomes sorcerers, or everyone gets an equivalent to a heavenly restriction- and that's that for the problem of needing Jujutsu sorcerers.

# ¿ May 31, 2021 20:05 |

Everyone being able to bench-press a small car (and we're not sure if the "remove the ability to generate cursed energy" solution gives a gift like normal heavenly restriction) is probably less dangerous compared to special grade sorcerers who can instagib everyone within hundreds and hundreds of meters of them.

Nah, it really wouldn't be that difficult to publish like 25-50% more series and just give the mangaka a regular week-off. Oda gets it, everyone else should too. Figure it the gently caress out and gently caress anyone dumb enough to not understand a preprinted schedule. If it makes volumes take a couple extra months to come out, tough poo poo. I want manga less frequently made by mangaka/assistants who get paid more and get time off and I'm not kidding.

Japan only instituted jury trials in the last decade I think. Confessions are the gold standard and are accepted even if what is being confessed to is impossible.

If we're talking Japanese law, Yuji's confession is immutable evidence. Which is fitting- Yuji confessing to a crime he's innocent of is pretty resonant here.

Sukuna is at like 14-16 fingers out of 20 so he's not at full power but I can't imagine Sukuna not just dunking this guy effortlessly.

Gege apparently gave the whole game away on what Sukuna's deal is with Megumi in some early draft for an info book and it got reacted in editing later, or something to that effect.

It being mandatory to be insane to some degree to be a sorcerer in JJK basically would allow Denji and Power to fit in perfectly.

I feel that unless Angel is just completely irrational there's a perfectly salient talking point you could use to make her still help while revealing Yuji is Sukuna's vessel- in that if you really, really want Sukuna dead it requires Yuji ingesting all of his fingers which he has not done yet. You kill Yuji now and Sukuna still isn't gone. Yuji was down with dying after getting all of them anyway so just propose an alliance for now on the condition that Yuji do the thing he always said he was going to do from the start of the series which is consume all of Sukuna and then die to get rid of him for good.

Nobara's resonance technique is one of those things seems like it'd be a major trump card for loving up all of these weird interlocked techniques being used so that's why I'm guessing she isn't going to be dead in addition to simply not stating outright what's up with her.

Nobara's technique seems like it'd be really useful for loving with Geto's big complicated web of interlocked techniques so that's my guess as to what they'll do with her whenever or however she returns. Worst case scenario is that she's actually dead/going to be dead but they have some weird way of preserving her technique to use it
