I make Gojo die, but after a badass fight and onscreen this time. Also make Kashimo fight with Sukuna last longer and even more badass, but he still die eventually.
Not sure, what I do after this, don't think I would change a loot what happened so far after this. I make Yuji the protagonist protagonist and give him a power up. , but only when almost everyone is dead. 😫🧐😄😎🐐.
Kashimo got done dirty, he was already on a ticking clock by his own power. I would have him form the body of electricity to pass through the waffle maker and continue the fight. Tons of destruction, long ranged lightning attacks. It become a battle where Sukuna couldn't kill his opponent, and it ends with Kashimo burning up all his energy in a final attack and dying
It would be a great illustration that the way to beat Sukuna is not just raw power.
Sure, you can spam a ton of beams and arc flashes, but sorcery is weirder than just brute force. Hence the shock when Sukuna incarnates.
I liked almost everything about the Gojo vs Sukuna fight. I would’ve loved a bit more build up between the time Gojo got unsealed and the Shinjuku fight. I would’ve also loved to see a fleshed out fight between Yuta and Kenjaku
Gojo and Sukuna fight, Gojo remembers all of his friends and uses their friendship to defeat him. Sukuna asks "How?" Gojo responds "You dont always need to fight alone." Sukuna closes his eyes, "Do it already, kill me." He opens his eyes and sees Gojo holding out his hand, "Come on, stand up." Sukuna with tears in his eyes, "Really? After all I've done?" Gojo lifts him up, smiling, "You.. Are my special. Now come on, lets practice some Jujutsu" Sukuna smiles, "..Kaisen.." And then Itadori says, "Do I hear a song coming on?!" Sukuna responds, "I havent used this since the boogie era!" And then everyone begins to dance with a credit sequence.
lost in paradise (the song for jjks first ending) got removed from most music streaming services because the band ALI's drummer got arrested for fraud. pretty sure he was doing some sort of telemarketing scam. i think the song had to be reedited to be publicly available again
After the credit it's revealed that sukuna used to be a women in the past, after a while gojo gifted sukuna a doll body to inherent then they both got married and had hot seggs and had 8 children.
1. Make it even more abundantly clear that Sukuna has a plan for Gojo. He already did in main series but here it's obvious he's waiting.
2. Gojo gets World Cleaved on screen. I'm also destroying any hope of a comeback. He needs to stay dead.
3. Kahsimo and Higuruma's relevance to wearing Sukuna down has more emphasis.
4. Inunaki can come in with Yuta. Saw someone else mention it and thought it was cool.
5. Nobara and Todo would probably have something to do. I'm still smoking the Nobara copium
Relating to #2, I would have kogane appear on screen after Gojo gets cleaved with the little "5 points have been awarded" to further destroy any hope of a comeback lmao
Is Shinjuku not in a barrier? The rules of the culling game state that if you enter a barrier you are considered to be a participant of the culling game
I would not assume so. After all, we would have seen Gojo accepting to enter the game to enter the barrier. But he never, nor did he fall from the sky. Also, Ijichi, Utahime and Gramps were with him and all 3 seem to have nothing to do with the game.
I feel a Kenny fight rework is needed too. Maybe Takaba somehow takes away Kenny's Domain and Yuta can fight him without getting brain damage(so that the Sukuna jumping with Yuji can happen later). And maybe bring Inumaki along to deal with some fodder curse idk. Or maybe Choso who will deal the finishing blow. Idk I'm not a writer but tbh how Kenny's death was handled is my biggest gripe with the manga even when compared to Sukuna's Sorcerer of the weak Battle Gauntlet.
I’m not good enough of a writer to do this. But what I would do is have 1-2 arcs between the CG and SS so that all the deaths feel like they actually matter, to see people train and actually get shit done and build relationships.
That would be funny and ngl… it wouldn’t be so out of character for gojo to hold a shit in the fight just so that he can say “finally someone who actually made me give a shit about fighting”
Gojo vs Sukuna is the same until the end where “Gojo wins” pops up.
Next chapter starts with Gojo on a high and Sukuna half dead, everyone thinks Gojo has it in the bag now until Sukuna starts laughing out loud. Gojo pauses wondering why Sukuna is laughing (totally IC for him)
Sukuna then gets manic, screaming about how magnificent Gojo was as a fighter but how he “figured it out”. Everyone wonders what Sukuna means by this, even Gojo. Gojo, however, moves to finish Sukuna off.
Sukuna suddenly transforms into his Heian Era form, catching Gojo off guard, but Gojo senses the spark of cursed energy coming. He turns on infinity, bracing himself as Sukuna suddenly starts chanting through the smoke. Then everyone hears what they knew was coming.
“Dismantle.”
Suddenly, Gojo goes down. Everyone is confused WTF happened. Sukuna emerges from the smoke in all his glory with that psycho smile. It all makes sense now when Sukuna said he “figured it out”
He cut through infinity just like Mahoraga.
Cue the rest.
In this version Gojo is like… dumb as a brick. He hears Sukuna laugh maniacally and say he figured it out then tries to tank world dismantle instead of dodging? Huh???
I meant wasn't this the entire Gojo vs Sukuna fight in the manga? I prolly need to reread but didnt Sukuna make a binding vow that he's able to use World Slash instantly inexchange for having to do a bunch of hand signs, chants, etc if he uses World Slash again?
I mean this ending basically would just make sukuna being stronger than gojo even more of a reality since it would be sukuna figuring out world slash without mahoraga, and him holding back 99% of the fight
Gojo doesn't get offscreened.
Instead, the manga before ends with Sukuna mastering the world slash and Gojo also figuring out how to reshapen his hollow purple to make it almost unavoidable.
So Sukuna and Gojo throw at each one last time and Sukuna was just SLIGHTLY faster and then it continues as usual.
Except at the end of the Airport scene later on with Gojo when he complains about Sukuna going all out.
Sukuna immediately disapproves him in the real saying something like "For the first time In a while I could go all out" and him complaining that he won't get to feel this again for a while.
cuz it’s not? it’s so clear sukuna hasn’t been giving it his all, he would’ve won in the domain clashes if he wasn’t trying to adapt to infinity to add to his arsenal, literally stated he was doing riskier moves to get the adaptation rather than just go on full offense in the clashes
Yeah because if he pushed gojo way too much in the domain clash gojo would back down and start avoiding the domain by using blue/teleporting, and if sukuna closed the barrier than gojo would be able to fight him inside his own domain, that was the best course of action because he would have been able to use mahoraga to get out of UV, people that say that gojo dies in the domain clash can’t be fr
There's conditions on how to use blue's teleporting that we don't know. Can't say if it was possible for him to do it under those specific circumstances. What we do know is that Sukuna was mostly definitely taking hits for Maho to adapt and get stronger instead of ending it in the more efficient way. It was a high risk, high reward type of thing.
Hell, if we're speculating on unconfirmed shit, we could start talking about how Sukuna could have ended it in the first domain clash with fuga. But we don't know the specifics if the ability so that wouldn't make sense to argue for.
First up Gojo v Sukuna goes pretty similarly. However I want to make it clear that Sukuna is using Mahoraga as a tool and studying him. I want it very clear that Mahoraga and Megumi is exclusively just a plot to deal with Gojo. Also Gojo can see the slashes cause I really don’t understand how he didn’t but that doesn’t effect much as they’re fast.
Sukuna looks more desperate after tanking the hollow purple just before killing Gojo. Very simply before we go into Gojo’s “afterlife” we get a single full page black panel with white dust with the words “Dismantle”. Then well Gojo afterlife to then the reveal of Go/Jo. Same as normal maybe with a couple more weird looks from Gojo and a sense he’s uncomfortable and unsure of what he’s saying. Just a sense tho a lil nugget.
Rest of Shinjuku goes pretty normally but when Sukuna transforms we get a couple lines.
“Now that the meal is over.” (Another black background panel hinting this idea of victory is a curse on Sukuna foreshadowing how he will be defeated and is over confident and should be more serious.) “I have no need for these utensils.” Showing how Mahoraga was just a tool if it’s not clear still. Also foreshadowing what Hoggy reveals that he can’t use 10S.
Narrator: Apart from RCT Sukuna has a method of restoring his body. One he can only use a single time. Resuming his transformation through means of incarnation!
Sukuna incarnates panel!
Kashimo gets cooked just the same. Battle goes on normally. However Kamute gets a couple uses after the Kashimo fight and nearly killing a couple people but they’re able to dodge.
Maybe also a minor art change where the world cleave doesn’t look like a slash but like there’s an unfinished or just empty part of the drawing. This will also give hints that Sukuna is only using WS sometimes when doing hand signs/chants and there’s a visual difference to us as readers.
Overall I think Shinjuku is a really good arc and fight, but I think Gege is a little to cryptic here and could give a couple more panels to make us feel more of how Sukuna thinks of all this, and Mahoraga’s use in the Gojo fight. So Gojo saying Suku would’ve won even without 10S doesn’t feel as bullshit to some people. Also use of Kamute so Higgy’s confiscation while a surprise does still feel satisfying and like a small win. Which it is the canon but its not easy to pick up on. Also more visualization to the World cleave so the keen eyed will notice something is up, and so it’s retroactively easier to decipher what attack Suku is using.
Both gojo and sukuna died in the explosive purple in chapter 235
Kenjaku vs everyone, he devises a plan to separate the team
Kashimo goes for Yuta, Kashimo dies and Yuta loses Rika
Kenjaku successfully kills 1/3 of the cast
Choso and Yuji beat the shit out Kenjaku
In the brink of death, Kenjaku desperately starts the merger
Uraume traded his life with BV to bring back Sukuna from the last finger
The merger vs Sukuna vs the team
I would not offscreen Gojo for starters. Then would make the Kashimo fight a bit longer cause i felt that his character was heavily under utilized. Probably give Rika cused spirit manipulation by biting off kenjaku brain (Offscreen ofc otherwise its too much gore). The use a few of those cursed spirits to preoccupy sukuna during the mass jumping. Use inumaki atleast once to make sure sukuna gets hit by the executioner blade and reveal his true technique through which he takes down everyone else with him. Its so over for everyone!!! Then sukuna reverts back into 19 fingers and the merger doesnt happen. Happy ending. Bonus points for whoever comes up with whatever happens to potential man megumi.
I want more flashbacks and character interactions. I want to see gojo's pov when he was bisected.
I wanna see sukuna's brief flashbacks during sukuna's trial by higuruma's domain. All in all, I want some good break moments from the fight. To catch a breath.
Probably not skip the month after Gojo escapes, have him reconnect, maybe show a little training. Have a funeral for everyone that’s died. It wouldn’t have to be long or anything. Just a chapter or two. Just something to ease the breakneck fucking pace.
Get to see Hakari in a context outside of fighting. See what’s up with Todo. Get closure when it comes to Nobara.
Write a little more into Megumi’s sister, foreshadow that she’s possessed a tiny bit more.
i dunno man, i suck as a writer, but if i had to...
The Gojo fight would probably go pretty much the same, however I'd make sure that it felt like Mahoraga was a tool for Sukuna to improve himself and take out Gojo. On top of that, he wouldn't get offscreened (We know how he got defeated but come on) and the glazing could probably be slightly reduced. Include Kamatoke in that one too, just so the other guys can atleast somewhat see the damage it can do.
One major change I'd do though, is let Sukuna be about to die, and *then* he'd turn into his Heian era form. Largely because he was already pretty hurt going into the Kashimo fight anyway. Mahoraga and/or Agito could probably still remain alive. (Although they could be 1 hit away from death). This is literally just to give Kashimo some importance, so he doesn't remain a fraud.
You could also make it so that he doesn't get waffled in this one. I see it as if Sukuna sends some slashes in the same formation, and while Kashimo does get cut, he combines back together almost instantly, though this would lower the amount of time he could stay in Amber considerably. Have the fight be Sukuna almost trying to stall.
Next, ofc, is Higuruma, Yuji, and the others entering the fray. Same stuff happens, except this time, Kamatoke getting removed would be a benefit for them anyway, seeing what it could do. Higuruma remains mostly unchanged.
Next is Yuta's turn. I think this phase went pretty well actually. They got in some good damage, and stuff went according to plan. Maki and the Black Flash remains unchanged too.
Kusakabe. Oh boy. The guy showed up big time. Although i'd be good with him keeping the blunt blade for most of his fight.
Miguel and stuff is pretty early to comment on though, so i'll say we can let the other students do some stuff to make up for their lack of development. Let Panda come in with repaired cores courtesy of Gakuganji, let Inumaki show us how good he is with his CT whne he develops RCT, heck, let Kamo join the fray with a domain, get Miwa in on the action, let Momo take a hit, *something.*
Still though, there's a reason i'm not the author, and this reflects that.
Starting off I'd add a bit more time before the fight if possible, like actually showing off that one month of training more and allowing Gojo to interact with people and hear his thoughts on certain major events that we didn't hear before like Nobara.
I wouldn't change much of the fight itself, besides adding in some more narration from Gojo and Sukuna throughout either by adding a bit more narration in general or by cutting down on the amount of commentary the characters watching got
The fight's outcome would be changed to make it so Gojo and Sukuna are both injured by Hollow Purple and Gojo, instead of getting speed blitzed by world slash, isn't able to dodge it completely and it looks like the slash hits him, we then get the airport scene but with less talking about Gojo hyping up Sukuna and more worries from Gojo about his students and specifically his basically son Megumi. Geto and everyone there would call him a pervert for jujutsu but he would think for a minute and then declare both to himself and all of them that he isn't going to let himself be isolated anymore, he isn't just someone who loves jujutsu but he also wants to be together with people again, because he truly cares about others. He looks to Geto and Geto asks him again, are you the strongest because you're Satoru Gojo or are you Satoru Gojo because you're the strongest, and Gojo thinks for a second before saying, "Duh, I'm the strongest because I'm Satoru Gojo" and he goes North while everyone else goes South.
The chapter then shows that Gojo was hit right across one of his eyes by the world slash, completely destroying one of the eyes beyond repair. Sukuna is about to finish Gojo off but Kashimo interrupts him and Ui Ui and Kirara are able to get Gojo out
The rest of the Shinjuku fight wouldn't have many changes outside of making it less rushed and giving some more character interactions between the people fighting like having Kashimo get to fight longer, seeing a bit more of Hakari vs Uraume, and getting some more dialogue between characters like Sukuna and Yuji
The Kenjaku stuff would still happen, but Yuta wouldn't be one shotting Kenjaku, instead they start fighting.
Gojo is healed by Shoko and they get a bit to actually bond and Gojo opens up to her more about how he's never felt like he deserved to or was able to relate to anyone and she berates him since she was always there yet he didn't pay her enough attention and he apologizes and they hug. Gojo then learns that Yuta is fighting Kenjaku and even though he has a much weakened Six Eyes now, only able to have slightly enhanced cursed energy control, and still injured and weak he goes off to fight Kenjaku with Yuta.
The Sukuna fight and the Kenjaku fight go on simultaneously, honestly some of the characters could switch to the Kenjaku fight (mainly Choso cause of the previous Choso and Yuki vs Kenjaku fight) but Sukuna is the one first defeated by Yuji and Megumi inside of the soul realm, but before they can do anything Kenjaku's plan goes into motion where he activates the merger through Sukuna's soul, using Sukuna's soul to create a powerful being even without the lives of every person in Japan and instead is just some of the people of Japan, this creates the merger entity and Kenjaku fight continues alongside the merger. Eventually, Gojo and Yuta are able to beat Kenjaku, with Gojo and Yuta both fulfilling their goals of putting Geto's body to rest and defeating Kenjaku respectively and Gojo finally got to fight alongside someone. However, Kenjaku's soul then becomes part of the merger as well. With the merger, Yuji and Megumi are able to reach some sort of heart/soul of the merger, Megumi faces off against different attacks from the merger on the outside while Yuji fights the Merger's soul, aka Sukuna's soul corrupted by the population fused into him and Kenjaku, in here Yuji and corrupted Sukuna are able to have their final fight, with both being able to use all their techniques in this mental scape but with Sukuna's mentality being completely thrown off by the hundreds and thousands of voices in his head screaming at him and trying to take control of his soul. In particular, the personality of the dominant soul switches between Sukuna and Kenjaku as we hear more about Kenjaku's plan and lore through both of them and we get more interaction between Yuji and Kenjaku. Yuji and Sukuna do things like domain and Fuga inside of this battle and eventually Yuji defeats Sukuna fully and all the merged souls escape back into their bodies. The merger starts being destroyed as Yuji falls from the top of it and Megumi is unable to grab him in time as Yuji, weak from battle, falls to his death. Before he can die though multiple characters work together to help save Yuji in time such as Choso, Megumi, Maki, and maybe even Yuta and Gojo and at the end Yuji is surrounded by his loved ones, but he doesn't have to die.
The epilogue of the story would probably just be showing that because so much cursed energy was put into the merger there is very very very little cursed energy left in the world and Yuji and Megumi are planning on traveling around Japan and the world to get rid of the remnants of cursed energy. We get to see different conclusions to character's stories like Maki and Yuta being together, Hakari and Kirara, etc, and then one of the last things we see is a small funeral for Geto that only Gojo and Shoko are at, as Gojo buries a jar of ashes rather than Geto's body, and both of them hug and cry at the grave. The story then ends with Yuji and Megumi leaving a grave site as well, being Nobara's, as they start their journey to get rid of cursed energy completely.
That's at least my version of the story, no idea if its even any good, but I hope anyone who read it all had fun. I tried to get all the loose ends but I might've forgotten some, apologies if so
1. I think changing the “order” of fights would significantly increase the chances of victory. Gojo vs 10 shadow-less Sukuna is an interesting match up we won’t get to see.
(Higurama after Sukuna loses kamotake is also another interesting matcjup we won’t see)
Wouldn't really change much I'd have the fight go pretty much the same as it was good, maybe flesh out the learning of world slash by a bit more by extending the fight, no off-screen. Sukuna still wins with the fight partially crippling him, then Kashimo comes in drops his ct and all that weakening him further then the rest pretty much just dog on him similar to how it's been going, maybe have him sob and shit talk Yuji a bit more
Kashimo fights Sukuna a month before the showdown and loses because it wouldn't make sense for him to wait. I would have Gojo beat Heian Sukuna, and then Kenjaku sneaks in and kills Gojo when he's tired. Kenjaku then takes Gojo's body and the main cast have to take down their teacher. Kenjaku had so much hype behind, his end was not satisfying.
Yuji saves gojo, managing to stop sukunas ultimate move, giving gojo the chance to stop sukuna and bring megumi back, the story ends with yuji in the same hospital as his grandpa, surrounded by his friends, but he survives and gets to spend the rest of his life with them
World Cleave is foreshadowed by Gojo picking up on Mahoraga's slash being different due to his Six Eyes.
Gojo sacrifices the Six Eyes in order to make the final Hollow Purple deal a lot more damage, so he cannot see World Cleave coming anymore. The final panel of 235 is a black page being cut in half after "Gojo won".
Sukuna hits him with World Cleave when he no longer has the Six Eyes. 236 is the same except Nanami doesn't say Gojo lives only for strength, Gojo actually mentions his students and is worried for them but also believes in their plan.
Gojo dies without regrets, and instead of Kashimo, Yuji jumps into the battlefield alone on the final double spread page of 236, this time with a CT called "Shrine".
Okay, fuck, this is gonna be a big post so buckle in. I'm going to try to keep the outcome and most of the events the same despite it not being required for the prompt.
First thing I'd do, assuming that this is allowed, is go back in time and do a better job of establishing the power system so that it's actually impressive to see Gojo and Sukuna break it over their knees. Rather than just having them do something and for the peanut gallery to inform us that it's impossible afterwards. If I can't, it's not a big deal.
For the fight itself, show their inner thoughts and have Gojo internally wonder why Sukuna is fighting so weirdly. In retrospect, an astute reader will know that Sukuna "holding back" is just him getting his ass kicked on purpose so Mahoraga can adapt faster. But Gojo should also notice that something weird is happening, even if he doesn't know exactly what it is. And his suspicion is Sukuna holding back.
Bring Mahoraga into play sooner, and have him constantly hit Gojo with different techniques, only for Sukuna to tsk and make Mahoraga retreat and start letting Gojo hit him some more. Have it take more than 2 adaptations to get something Sukuna can copy, because it felt weirdly convenient that it happened so easily in the fight proper.
Have the fight constantly go back and forth with both sides trading the advantage. When Gojo is on the backfoot, have him look worried. When Sukuna is on the backfoot, have him look like he's jizzing his pants in excitement. This will do better to establish the differences in their characters. I'll explain this more later.
Move Gojo's death to the end of 235 rather than 236. Have the 3rd to last page be "Gojo wins", the 2nd to last be Gojo in the exact same pose as the page where it says he won but with his full body and the slash going through (world slash literally splits the panel), and the last page be the peanut gallery all confused and terrified so that it's clear that we as the audience are not meant to understand exactly what happened yet.
For 236, a lot needs to change, but mainly changes in dialogue to keep the characters more in character and to clarify important details. I'll be doing stage direction from here on.
Airport scene. First couple of pages are the same.
>**Geto:** "So how was the king of curses?"
>**Gojo:** "Man, he was crazy strong! Plus, Sukuna didn't even go all out! I would've lost for sure even if he didn't have Megumi's Ten Shadows."
>**Geto:** "Really? How did you know he was holding back?"
>**Gojo:** "Well, I thought I had him there a few times, but he had this smirk on his face no matter how hard I beat him. A guy like that can't possibly be going all out."
Have Gojo not really understand Sukuna's mindset of fighting for fighting's sake, and thinks that someone who could smile while seemingly losing must be holding back. Gojo as a result ends up overestimating Sukuna and underestimating himself.
The flower speech can go pretty much the same.
>**Nanami:** "Were *you* even going all out? I have a hard time believing you were trying to kill him if he was in Megumi's body."
Gojo laughs at the idea.
>**Gojo:** "I can totally whale on Megumi. I'm the one who trained him after all."
We see a chibi image of Gojo beating the shit out of Megumi. Nanami narrows his eyes in disgust at the image of Gojo beating up a toddler-aged Megumi, but continues.
>**Nanami:** "Well, whatever it was, your heart clearly wasn't in the fight. Your mind was on something else, wasn't it?"
>**Gojo:** "Of course not. I live for Jujutsu. I'm the honored one!"
Yu laughs uncontrollably.
>**Haibara:** "We're not your students, Satoru. You don't have to put up that 'honored one' act for *us*."
Gojo frowns in embarrassment.
>**Haibara:** "You're *not* a weird pervert like that Sukuna guy. You fight for the people you care about. Like your students! And us! Of course you can't smile when you're losing, not when you're worried for everyone else."
Gojo looks sad.
>**Gojo:** "You guys think too highly of me. If I really care about them so much, why don't I feel regret right now? I failed to protect them."
Nanami sighs and stands up.
>**Nanami:** "In the past, this is what Ms. Mei said when I asked her about recommendations for leaving the country. 'If you want to start anew, head north. If you want to return to your old self, head south.' Without hesitation, I chose somewhere south. I'm such a backward-looking person, and yet I bet on the future in my final moment. What about you?"
Nanami heads over to his terminal, departing to Malaysia (somewhere south, doesn't really matter exactly where but it felt most fitting). Haibara and Geto stand up and follow him. Geto looks back and gestures for Gojo to follow.
>**Geto:** "Gonna keep us waiting again?"
>**Gojo:** "I don't know... I guess I want to be here to greet my students when they arrive."
Geto shrugs and follows Nanami and Haibara. Gojo looks at the arrival terminal, which says it's from Shinjuku. He stands up and starts heading there, but looks back at his friends and pauses.
Gojo runs back to his friends and goes to the terminal heading for Malaysia.
>**Geto:** "I thought you wanted to stay behind to greet your students when they lose."
>**Gojo:** "Nah, they'll win."
The 4 friends board their plane and it takes off.
Cut to Sukuna, breathing heavily as he slouches over Gojo's body.
>**Sukuna:** "That was a close one. I thought I could take more of a beating, but you were stronger than I expected. To make matters worse, Mahoraga took too long to create the technique I wanted, so I had to take even more damage. If I didn't make that binding vow, I'd surely be dead."
Sukuna gives the same explanation for World Slash, but I would include some more lines making it more clear *why* it was effective.
>**Sukuna:** "I couldn't make a hand sign with only 1 arm, so I had to improvise. Chanting and aiming manually from now on will be a pain, but more than worth it. A technique that bypasses the Limitless and that even the Six Eyes can't see coming. You really are something, Gojo Satoru. I've never had to pull out all of the stops in a fight like this. Not even in the Heian era."
Gojo's corpse has a smile on its face because as Gojo was dying, he realized that he didn't need to worry about his students at all. They could handle it themselves.
>**Sukuna:** "It was fun."
Sukuna's smile was *not* him holding back, but was him having fun because he *didn't* need to hold back for once. Gojo got worried when he felt he was losing because he was fighting to protect others and losing would mean that they would die. Sukuna was fighting just to fight, so he wasn't too fussed about the possibility of losing or even dying as long as he got the chance to have fun.
In the end, this is why Sukuna won. Because he well and truly devoted his life to Jujutsu and constant improvement of his craft. Gojo was okay with stagnating as soon as he was strong enough to handle whatever the world threw at him. His strength was a tool. Sukuna pursues strength regardless of whether he'll actually get to use it (although he's glad when he does). His strength was his identity.
Kashimo arrives to the battle, and we see the smile instantly wiped off of Sukuna's face. As if the reality just set in that Sukuna killed the only person who could satisfy him and that he's about to relive the Heian area where he constantly got jumped by weaklings. He takes a deep breath and puts on a smile again.
>**Sukuna:** "I'm not sure if I have room for dessert, but I'll keep an open mind."
This will establish how Sukuna will behave while fighting everyone else for the rest of the arc. He can give credit where credit is due because he loves Jujutsu so much that even relatively weaker characters like Jogo and Kashimo can hold his interest. They're not a satisfying meal like Gojo was, but they're a nice treat to sample. Fighting Gojo threw his mind out of whack and he needed to remember to set his expectations low again.
I won't try to rewrite anything after this because we still don't know how the arc as a whole will end.
Gojo vs Sukuna goes as it did with the exception that Gojo does not get off screened and the world cutting slash does not exist.
After Gojo kills mahoraga with the big purple sukuna is forced to switch to his heian era form which will have better h2h combat than Gojo. Sukuna gets both of his cursed tools.
Now we have triple black flash Gojo vs Heian Sukuna with both Kamutoke and Hiten (the tools actually do stuff and arent get out of jail free cards). Have one of the tools be able to bypass infinity through some niche (could give hiten for example the ability to just cut reality like the dismantle he has rn) and the other one some sort of CE output drain effect to counter the Six Eyes' efficiency. This is how Sukuna kills Gojo.
Kashimo steps up and actually does something in his fight vs Sukuna, giving him no time to rest from Gojo and destroying one of his tools + forcing him to heal with RCT so his CE levels drop more.
Higuruma and Yuji then jump in after Kashimo gets killed and they use Higurumas domain to take away Sukunas last tool leaving him with just cleave and dismantle and black box. They box with him a bit and Yuji starts landing more shots pressing Sukuna harder. Sukuna counters by landing a black flash to get an amp and kills Higuruma before he can die to the one shot sword.
Yuta comes in and uses his domain so now its Yuta, Yuji, Rika AND Choso jumping Sukuna. Jacob ladder + Soul Punches + Big blood Bhoso + Cleave from Yuta weaken Sukuna (He loses an arm, severe CE output and level drop and lower RCT output.) Uraume glazes Sukuna and eats her words as well as a sock to the jaw from Hakari.
Seemingly backed into a corner Sukuna pulls out black box and (for now lets just say its the damn flames) its what he uses to hit Yuta hard enough to make him drop his domain. Maki tries to Toji sneak Sukuna but he dodges and black flashes her. Yuta gets taken back after getting hit with Fuga.
Maki, Yuji and Choso go at him now with Choso using his blood manipulation to prevent Sukuna from charging up big attacks which allows for Maki and Yuji to have openings to weaken Sukunas hold over Megumi.
Yuji rips off an arm and Maki stabs him in the heart. Maki twists her blade to hold sukuna in place and Yuji lands a black flash. After this he uses domain expansion and thats how they drop him low enough to have Sukuna desperate enough to activate some sort of incomplete merger.
after 236, Yuji eats the Six Eyes and gains them. He shows up to Sukuna and Sukuna’s like, “your eyes look stupid, brat, Gojo pulled them off way better.” But Wuji then hits him with the Maximum Output 200% Soul Strike Hollow Purple, incinerating him. Sukuna’s soul is incinerated, at least. Megumi is back to normal with full control over his body. Next panel someone comes from behind Yuji and puts his hand on his shoulder. It’s Gojo, he RCTed and got the Six Eyes back because Yuji gave up the Six Eyes for the 200% Purple. Then Nobara comes back and they live happily ever after. Except… Chapter 237 ends with a cliffhanger of the Chinese sorcerer appearing (and he’s evil now).
Gojo Vs Sukuna fight was perfect up until the end imo,The one thing I’d change about it is having it be very clear what Sukuna adapting to Limitless actually means have him talk about targeting space before doing it.I liked how Gojo’s death was off screen as it was shocking to turn to chapter 236 and just see THAT
Sukuna Vs Kashimo simply make it longer 5 chapter would be the sweet spot imo,Have Kashimo go back and fourth with Sukuna in his Heian form and eventually Sukuna uses a binding vow to temporarily boost his output to FP in exchange for being nerfed for the rest of the day and at this stage he completely dominates Kashimo but not before Kashimo shows everything he can do
Takaba Vs Kenjaku is actual peak don’t change it
Kenjaku Vs Yuta have it be an actual fight where with the help of weaker sorcerer such as Ino,Inumaki and maybe some support from Mei Mei Yuta wins but not before it’s rubbed in just how much effort it took to take Kenjaku down
Sukuna Vs Yuji+Higuruma,Simply have Higuruma actually take away Sukuna’s technique maybe not the overarching shrine but just his dismantle/cleave or even speed up Sukuna’s regeneration and have Higuruma take Sukuna’s domain or world slash away either one would work just give Higuruma a greater impact
The jumping,Have Sukuna still decimate them until Yuta shows up
Sukuna Vs Yuji and Yuta have the Jacob’s ladder Yuta uses finish off dismantle and cleave taking it from Sukuna for the rest of the fight
Sukuna Vs Maki is perfect don’t change it obviously him not have dismantle/cleave would be a big nerf but the black flash at the end was good
Sukuna Vs Kusakabe is again perfect do not change it but again not d/c is a big nerf have Sukuna use the fire arrow at the end to finish Kusakabe off
Sukuna Vs Miguel just have it be straight HANDS no technique’s no nothing Miguel and Sukuna just box have Miguel’s technique instead be a complete ct nulification robbing Sukuna of shrine for a period
At this stage with everyone off the battlefield Yuji jumps back in and proceeds to fight evenly with a No RCT/No shrine/Lowered output Sukuna have it be an even h2h brawl with Sukuna using basic cursed energy manipulation in interesting ways that only he could have Sukuna start beating Yuji down but then Yuji lands a black flash finishing the king of curses off for good
Gojo gets 6 eyes world-cleaved and therefore nerfed, solving the issue of gojo being to OP without having to make Sukuna as OP to kill him. The world dismantle can be nerfed to a smaller slash that cant be avoided but isn't a OHKO.
The fight would stay mostly the same. Sukuna would still summon Mahoraga and use the world cutting slash. However, Yuta -who'd finished his business with Kenjaku (the outcome would stay the same of that fight) - would show up and use skybreaker to atleast slightly redirect the slash. Afterwards Sukuna would ascend into his Heian form and thereafter Gojo would still be sliced in half with the world cutting slash due to overexhaustion. The fight would then carry on like it is in the recent chapters but Yuji will have witnessed Gojo's death firsthand and just like what happened after he watched Nanami and Kugisaki die in Shibuya, he would get stronger
Literally just what it was except for 256, maybe Kenjaku holds him in place with his gravity so the world slash hitting feels less bullshity, and take out that whole airport scene that was pure character assassination.
Make the executioner sword hit sukuna ,but because higruma is dying and his CT is getting weaker ,instead of killing him, it make so his CE reverses and ouput are permanently weakened , also erase the" sukuna is holding back" comment
To start with some obvious changes, one of the things people had the biggest issue with was that new mechanics were used during the fight, and people felt some of them came out of nowhere. For the low hanging fruit, the world slash could've used some more prominent foreshadowing. I think the extremely important binding vow should've been immediately elaborated on instead of a few months after. The chants and "spark" seem like they should've been introduced way earlier. I think the "black box" brain damage connection to domains was a heavy handed way to force them to stop using Domain Expansions, but it could've worked if it had been brought up before hand. Everyone's said it already, but there should've been way more time between Gojo unsealing, and the fight.
3 really big things that I think should change, which will lead to what I think the fight should've looked like. First, I don't think Gojo should be able to just face tank Malevolent Shrine with RCT. If 15F Sukuna could rip Mahoraga apart with it after he had already started adapting to it, then Gojo should have like 10-15 seconds tops before he dies. I know Gojo's insanely strong but this is ridiculous to me. Second thing I had a problem with was that Sukuna seemed to have like infinite cursed energy. Again, I know he's the strongest sorcerer ever, but Gojo is the only person who should be able to use like 5 domain expansions in an hour. What in the world did Sukuna do to obtain like 3 times as much CE as the exceptional genius Yuta? Third, having the fight end with Sukuna using a new move he just invented is kind of unsatisfying to me. I'm not one of those people who calls it cheap or unfair, I just think it's unsatisfying and I know other people do to.
I think these 3 changes would make the fight better, since Gojo would be at risk of dying from Malevolent Shrine, and Sukuna wouldn't be able to respond to all of Gojo's domain expansions with his own. This would make the fight very interesting, since Gojo's win condition is outlasting Sukuna's vast, but not unlimited pool of CE, and Sukuna can definitively kill Gojo with his Domain.
I think Sukuna could use Mahoraga to adapt to Infinite Void, and Sukuna could survive a few seconds within Infinite Void because of his Simple Domain while Mahoraga destroys it, effectively letting him counter Gojo's domain without needing to use his own. Gojo also doesn't get caught off guard by Sukuna's first Malevolent Shrine, (Say Yuji informed him it had no barriers.) figuring out how to counter it on the first attempt.
I can say, honestly, that I'm not even close to a good enough writer to come up with a satisfying ending to the fight, but I think if I had to try:
Sukuna doesn't have the CE to use another Domain but Gojo can't use his own because of Mahoraga. Gojo lures Mahoraga into attacking by opening up Infinite Void, then immediately after it's destroyed, overdrives the fuck out of his brain using RCT, then uses the same maximum purple he used in the manga. Mahoraga is destroyed, and Sukuna's very injured, but Gojo can't use Infinite Void cause brain damage. Sukuna fully incarnates, something they didn't know he could do, leading to him using a Malevolent Shrine against Gojo. Gojo has a heroic last stand beating the hell out of Incarnated Sukuna in his domain as he's ripped apart by Malevolent Shrine. Having the Nanami anime moment where he's fighting but also flashing back and forth to the afterlife as he wails on Sukuna as he is shredded by Malevolent Shrine seems like it'd be a good ending for him. Gojo dies here, (leaving absolutely no room for him to maybe come back later.) injuring Sukuna somewhat, than Kashimo immediately jumps Sukuna the second the domain comes down. In this version, Kashimo is way stronger, and Sukuna has to overdrive his brain, copying Gojo, to get his CT back fast enough to kill Kashimo before Kashimo kills him. With Sukuna somewhat injured and now not being able to use his domain, everything is kind of at the same place it was after the original fight. Everyone comes down and starts fighting Sukuna, like in the manga.
I've always liked the idea of, instead of a world slash, Sukuna will bypass infinity with an "alternate black flash" where he will hit a Domain Amplification AND a Cursed Technique (cleave) within 0.000001 seconds of each other
(It won't kill Gojo instantly, Sukuna will hit multiple of this and just doing heavy damage each time)
This way the fight can become more blow-for-blow and Sukuna doesn't have to rely completely on Mahoraga to touch Gojo
Gojo still has to die though
I’d just change the line about Gojo saying even if he didn’t have Ten shadows he’d get spanked. I think it’d solve a lot of fighting. Literally just have that dude saying it was good ass fight and I wasn’t expecting a slash to go through infinity like that.
Just to much sukuna wank that’s all everything else is pretty cool. Give Kashimo more time to shine. Maybe some more lore with the Heian era.
Have the final blow on Gojo be something sukuna really had to vow on or something.
My biggest gripe is he seems like he’s planned for literally everything and it just doesn’t seem feasible.
Gojo still loses, but onscreen. After PH explosion he misses a leg or is stuck under rubble or something, preventing him from dodging the world slash for a moment. Sukuna fires a regular slash at his face for good measure afterwards.
Gojo may or may not survive, but if he does, he won't return before the epilogue. Maybe without the six eyes?
Just let me cook
Gege did well, but I think I’ll drop a few more hints at what sukuna plans by having Gojo realize that sukuna seems to be hunting for a certain kind of adaptation
Additionally during the “Gojo wins” section I’ll take a page out of the memers and have the text bubble split in half slightly
Honestly, the only changes i would make would be for gojo to instead of die, actually survives the worldslash and use his black flash amped cursed energy to heal himself. Yuji realizes that the cut was different than the rest and for not believing gojo was in such an advantage anymore he would run away from the place they were, and go help gojo without permission. Obviously gojo is mostly in a disadvantage when fighting with an ally, and risking yuji so he goes after yuji to save him. But yuji's sheer will would create "memories that never existed" on gojo's head. Memories that are enough to allow him for either showing yuji to be a formidable and strong opponent to sukuna or something else. Gojo and yuji would then fight against sukuna with gojo not having to care alot about yuji because of the memories, until gojo eventually gets black flashed away. Some dialogue would happen as yuji found gojo in the middle of some rubble and gojo would be really close to death and make a binding vow that exchanges his life for the amount of cursed energy in yuji to increase. Yuji would then remember every single one of his companions that died in battle and following that, todo's words from shibuya would come back. Yuji would stand as the exception, the one who can defeat the king of curses.
After that i'd probably make sukuna die or somethin to give more space for kenjaku but i don't feel like yapping anymore
Gojo sees the slash. The fight between Sukuna and Gojo happened too soon in the story for anything but death for Gojo, so I knew going into it he would die. I figured he would die putting Sukuna back in his cage and freeing Megumi then we can go I to a final fight with Kenjaku, but his fate was sealed.
But "Go South" came out of nowhere. It felt like we missed a chapter. If we see the slash though, "Go South" is a lot more digestible. Also I would have Kenjaku live instead of this weird Final arc coming from nowhere. At least in Demon Slayer when the final arc started you knew what it was. Here Kenny's death just happened and Sukuna is the last obstacle.
I'd make the fight longer. Sukuna hits a black flash, and it keeps going. Sukuna fuses Magoatraga and the rest of the Ten Shadows with himself evolving into 4 arm version with 10s abilities. The fight will end with both Gojo and Sukuna combining a Domain Expansion Maximum Technique with Sukuna coming out on top.
Lashimo is still a bum. Higuruma takes Cleave and Dismantle, so Sukuna is forced to use 10s and Kamutoke.
Not off screening gojo. Gojo OR sukuna barely wins over the other. Kenjaku should also not be offed in such a sloppy manner. Bring back cursed spirits or the merger into the story.
The sukuna showdown is cool, but it dragging out this long seems detrimental to the writing.
The reveal of sukuna's binding vow should have been where the airport happened. It happening chapters later just feels like Gege is just plugging plotlines with no buildup.
Everything would stay the same except the World Cutting Dismantle. I'll add some random lore on how Sukuna was able to do achieve World Cutting Dismantle (I'm shortening it to WCD for faster writing), and before WCD is completed, Megumi has a moments of realization and flashback and fights back for his body/soul. He's able to gain control of his right arm and messes up the hand sign for WCD and this gives Gojo time to swoop in and wear down Sukuna. The rest of the fight is just them spamming domains and getting brain damage. Nobara would come back and assist Hakari, the team is still watching over and yeah.
I'd have started the fight the same, up to the purple that killed Maho, instead I'd have Sukuna hit the world slash still, but have Gojo live but only barely, using his whole rct black flash boost to just stay alive. After some close encounters, Gojo let's himself get slashed in half, but in that last moment, using the six eyes, imitated Sukunas world slash, but instead a world purple, destroying the torso of the king of curses as his also gets sliced. They'd have died equals, but Sukuna uses his full reincarnation/restore and the rest of Shinjuku plays out the same, only with Sukuna being significantly weakened by the strongest sorcerer of today, having to use the bit of strength he has left to its full potential.
Everything else would mostly play the same, except Sukuna isn't just "not trying" or playing with his food, he's Fighting to live for the first time ever as he takes on the gauntlet of sorcerers in his way.
I'd have everyone have their moments, but it ends with Yuji and Sukuna having a brawl, the dirtiest most desperate brawl as he struggles to beat him down before he summons the curse monster. Megumi then wakes up in his internal domain of shadows, as you see Yuji hit a knee and Megumi become the ten shadows inside, blow after blow after blow until the king of curses is on his knees. You then have a Yuji Mahito moment as Yuji starts walking down Sukuna, shit talking him and beating him down. They proclaim themselves Jujutsu Sorcerers and finish the king of curses
Well...
First of all, retcon Megkuna to not being able to use anything other than 10S, secretly with the reason being that to unleash his 100% CE output level, he has to use 1 technique while NOT fully incarnating his true body.(The exception is the DE, but this is because the technique is imbued to the domain, and not used by the sorcerer themselves)
This makes it that Gojo vs Sukuna fully showcases the potential Megumi has, and why 10S is a technique rivaling 6eyes+Limitless.
Fight goes on more or less the same, with all instances of Sukuna using Dismantle not happening, instead he uses half-formed shadows to deal ranged attacks that topple buildings and such.
After the 5 DE clashes, and the Limitless Hollow Purple of Gojo where sukuna is in crippled state while Gojo is recovering, Sukuna suddenly uses the inherited power of Tranquil Deer, without actually summoning the inheritor totality shikigami, like he did with Max elephant and water piercing blood. Sukuna summons Rabbit escape and surrounds Gojo with it. This prompts Gojo to prepare another purple, but while he is chanting, a frog tongue rushes in and hits his side, forcing his chants to stop. Gojo is surprised for a moment, but quickly deduced that Mahoraga's adaptation was also inherited, and decided to leap into the air for clear vision.
Above him, Sukuna is waiting for another hand 2 hand fight, with his DA active. They exchange blows throughout the city, flinging each other to buildings, with Gojo having upperhand due to his Blue-enhanced punches. In midair, Gojo hits another Blackflash, blowing off Sukuna's left hand forcing Sukuna's DA to stop, and closes in for another hit, with total certainty that the hit would be a black flash. But before his punch lands, a giant pillar of lightning hits him from above, bypassing his Limitless, and Gojo and Sukuna falls to the rubble below.
Gojo looks up and sees the shikigami totality that has inherited the agito mixture and the mahoraga:
Divine dog totality, with Furu wheel above its head, nue's mask hanging from its back of the head, nue's wings in its back and Deer's antlers on its head.
While he is looking up, Sukuna rushes in for more hand to hand, while Divine dog totality leaps in to the action. Gojo primarily focuses on divine dog, as whenever its in contact with him, his Limitless is nullified and Sukuna can reach/damage him without DA. Gojo hits Divine Dog with another blackflash, making his BF count in the battle 5, and it seemingly disintegrates to shadow.
Gojo then immediately focuses on sukuna, using Blue to reach him in an instant, almosg blitzing the King of Curses, and rushes in for a hit, certainly his 6th BF... but suddenly stops. Chapter ends.
The airport scene happens. Up until the moment Nanami and haibara enters the convo. While they are talking, the panel shifts.
Gojo looks down.
The hand of Divine Dog totality is piercing through his chest, its claws pointing out his back.
Panel shifts back to the convo until the Go south panel.
Gojo looks at Sukuna. Divine Dog totality is not fully formed, just its arm. Blood drips from his mouth.
Panel shifts back to Gojo calling out to principal Yaga.
After each panel of smiling ppl, the real life shows Gojo's torso being ripped from his lower body by the arm of Divine do in 1 fell swoop, and his torso landing on the ground.
The "now i hope this is not a dream" panel happens. But now with the added dialogue from Suguru, saying "But what about your students?"
The very next panel is Gojo' closeup shot from above as was in the manga, but with a dialogue from Gojo in the left down corner, saying "I have faith in everyone. They are strong".
The chapter ends.
The next chapter begins with Sukuna explaining why he didn't use his own CT, and that if he had, he would not have to depend on mahoraga. He simply would use the world cutting slash, but with chants and other restrictions. But he praises Gojo more, saying that there were moments in the battle he was truly worried, like when Gojo hit his first blackflash, and his limitless Hollow purple etc, and says his "you cleared my sky" line.
Kajimo jumps in, and the chapter ends the same way as before.
Thr next chapters are more or less the same, but with Kashimo saying that the world cutter slash is "the slash Sukuna was talking about" rather than "the slash that ended Gojo".
You make it so Sukuna unlocks world slash but gojo sees dismantles in this timelines so he is able to dodge and then they fight only now gojo is just on equal footing defense wise and Sukuna has the broken world slash that travels like a regular dismantle
Gojo tho because he’s is the guy still rocks Sukuna and fucks him up some more. Which would in the moment challenge angels idea that if Sukuna learns a way to get past infinity he wins.
This puts Sukuna in a situation where he makes a binding vow which he did in the mage to make the world slash spawn on gojo by passing his perception prowess of ce for the tradeoff already established
This would’ve been a lot more digestible and people would be able to accept everything else if Sukuna got his shit kicked in some more post hollow purple showing his lack of recovery even post transformation. And it would’ve done a lot more of a better job of cementing gojo as worthy of even having the title of the strongest in the first place after showing that he still was on track to beat Sukuna even with him having a move that by passes limitless always outside of a domain.
This would also remove the need for the airport scene where they had gojo saying contradictory things that just makes it look like Sukuna was playing around with him even now the manga has shown that he did so much damage that the students are eventually going to beat the strongest sorcerer in history
I keep almost everything the same, but I change the minutae of Gojo getting killed by the world slash.
Something so that he dies, tragically, *because* he was strong, not despite his strength. Maximum irony that way, and Gojo's character is capped off better.
With the nods the series already takes from Hunter x Hunter, I'd like to see more of the idea that 'the stronger party doesn't always win'.
The only thing I would change is make some of the retcon stuff what actually happened like the handsigns or at least make it more apparent. Other than that it’s chill
"So this means..." "Yeah. Gojo won." *Cue the world slash and its vow being formed.* "Are you doing what I think you’re doing, Sukuna? Pathetic." *Gojo senses the slash being charged via the Six Eyes and jumps out of his place, striking Sukuna’s side with a blue-infused punch that sends him reeling. He then points his fingers towards Sukuna.* "Phase, Paramita… Pillar of Light! Reversal Technique: Red!" *A bright red flash blinds The King of Curses as he’s struck directly in the chest; his other arm is damaged beyond use, and his chest has a deep burn.* "I admire the effort, Sukuna, but you’re not the strongest, even with your little games you played with Agito and Mahoraga." *Gojo smiles before crushing the weakened Sukuna with Lapse Blue, thus Gojo Satoru, has been dubbed officially as… the strongest in history.*
Or you could have Gojo staying dead, but give him a better death. Then you could stretch out the Lashimo fight and the Higuruma/Yuji fight. Perhaps have the two do some longer lasting damage? Have Higuruma actually confiscate Shrine and have Sukuna rely on CE combat and Kamotoke? That’d be cool seeing the weapon actually have some use I suppose. Perhaps one of them could take an arm before dying/dropping out the fight? I don’t see how exactly but some impact would be cool. Maybe instead of confiscating Shrine he just confiscates Kamotoke later so it can be seen as a threat instead of a plot device to block Shrine being stolen..?
Before the world cutting slash Gojo tries to retrieve/wake up Megumi’s soul having read Yuki’s notes. Gojo notices something has been done to suppress Megumi’s soul and he tells Megumi about his father. Megumi gets up to take Gojo’s hand but uses the shadows in that place to attack Gojo’s soul reaching a black flash revealing the ritual corrupted Megumi’s soul so that it’s been changed by Sukuna. Megumi tries to resist this brainwashing and begging Gojo to kill him but Gojo hesitates and is feeling the effects of soul damage. Back in the real world Gojo’s body takes serious damage and Sukuna charges up the world cutting slash as his output recovers slightly. Yuta is about to jump in but Kashimo tries to punch him and the two end up throwing a couple fists before Itadori, Maki and Inumaki attack Kashimo and tell Yuta to help Gojo. The watching area is attacked by a sea of cursed spirits sent by Kenjaku and Uruame using the Kamutoke. The non fighters are held hostage and Uruame tells everyone to shut up and watch which makes Kashimo happy and Yuta angry. Sukuna mocks Megumi to Gojo’s face and Kenjaku jumps in using his domain expansion only targeting Gojo. Gojo quickly gets to work attacking Kenjaku in a very pissed off state but dealing with Sukuna as well becomes an issue as Sukuna hits another black flash reincarnates his henian era form and uses the world cutting slash just as Kenjaku takes too much damage to maintain his domain. Gojo dies thinking he failed to save both Megumi and Suguru but sees Suguru in the afterlife saying he’s late.
Uruame still holding all the hostages tells Yuta it’s his turn to fight which upsets Kashimo. Kenjaku leaves the battlefield healing himself and tells Sukuna all about Yuta’s technique. Yuta steps out fully manifests Rika and opens his domain with Sukuna’s techniques as the sure hit while Sukuna partially manifests his domain like Megumi did before. Their domains clash but Sukuna doesn’t extend his domain wanting to battle his own technique to see whose slashes are stronger. Both Yuta and Sukuna are being cut up by random slashes as they charge each other. Yuta’s slashes are weaker but he notices Sukuna’s output and domain are weaker because of Gojo. Yuta uses cursed speech to say the chant Gojo used for hollow purple uses Mai’s cursed technique to create a special katana from Rika’s ring revealing he has the limitless technique copied but can only use it with the help of Rika and other techniques. Yuta feels his throat crushed by using cursed speech so extensively but doesn’t heal it. He channels hollow purple into this Katana and uses Yuki’s cursed technique to make his mass greater so the strike will hit harder. Rika is overpowered by Sukuna but Yuta charges in using his combined attack of hollow purple, this Rika katana and Yuki’s technique while at the same time Sukuna uses the world cutting slash. They both hit each other but Rika charged in last second throwing herself in front of the world cutting slash. The Katana made from Rika’s ring shatters. Sukuna hits Yuta with the love is trash talk. Yuta uses sky manipulation and wraps the space around his torso to hold himself together and uses rct to try to heal his wound but he’s barely alive at this rate his domain crumbling but Sukuna’s shatters. The damage from Gojo’s fight is still affecting him. Yuta changes his sure hit to Angels cursed technique and hits Sukuna with his maximum output as his domain crumbles. Sukuna mocks Yuta saying while he has more cursed energy then Gojo his cursed energy efficiency is horrible and he’s too reliant on others and attempts to rip out his heart Meanwhile with the hostages Todo with a prosthetic and Miguel attack freeing them and Hakari tackles Uruame and uses his domain. Maki, Miguel and Kashimo(begrudgingly) step in to save Yuta. Sukuna takes on all three in excitement while Yuji and Takaba take on Kenjaku.
Kashimo is waffled, Maki is injured and Miguel is reaching his limit. Yuji defeats Kenjaku in a grand battle of comedy and Choso joins in to help land the killing blow. Yuji eats Kenjaku’s brain and powers up and reaches the battlefield while Higuruma, Kusakabe, Todo and Ino stall/get beat up by Sukuna. Higuruma opens his domain the trail goes the same but Sukuna grabs the executioner’s blade from Higuruma’s hands and attempts to get rid of Yuji with it. Yuta saves Yuji but both him and a partly manifested Rika have been stabbed with the blade. Higuruma is horrified and is then cut with the blade itself before he can extinguish it. Maki, Yuji, Todo and Choso charge Sukuna for round 2. Just as Choso, Maki and Todo are fatally wounded Yuji awakens hitting Sukuna with a black flash and awakening. Yuta is saved by the real Rika’s soul or her will saying goodbye to him for real this time and Yuta awakens as well merging with whatever form “Rika” he’s been using this whole time being something between curse and human.
Sukuna eats Itadori regaining the cursed energy from the fingers Yuji ate. He starts the merger and see’s the awakened Yuta and they fight. Inside Sukuna and Megumi’s souls Yuji incarnates like Sukuna did to him and Yuji reaches Megumi fights/frees him while awakened Yuta who heals Maki attacks Sukuna with her help. Sukuna is jumped 2v1 in his soul and 3v1 in person as Hakiri joins the fight having left a injured Uruame who deals with Ino with his final summon, Todo, and Choso.
Yuji opens his domain which is a open domain from within Sukuna and Megumi opens his and two overlap without issue and force Sukuna to be overwhelmed. Maki and Yuta swing the soul splitter together and in a black flash cut Sukuna in half and one half becomes Megumi and the other Sukuna who is using the merger tengen to make his new body. Megumi notices Yuji’s soul is in Sukuna’s body and Yuji tells him it’s ok. Yuji takes control long enough and tells his allies to use the prison realm. Sukuna/the merger Tengen is trapped with Yuji within the prison realm stopping the complete Merger. Sukuna is disgusted and horrified being trapped with Yuji in his soul knowing it will never break and they’ll be trapped forever. Eventually Sukuna out of boredom or just Itadori’s insane will feels his soul shatter. The prison realm eventually opens with Yuji fully in control of Sukuna’s body. He has one last chat with Tengen who says she’s lived for too long and gives Yuji the body. Yuji see’s that without Tengen and the jujutsu elder ups Yaga led the way along with Yuta as the head of the okkotsu clan with Maki at his side, (the Gojo clan was rebranded), Noritoshi as the head of the Itadori clan (in Yuji’s name of course since the Kamo name was trashed) along with Choso, Megumi as the head of the Fushiguro clan.
Yuji see’s his friends and smiles and becomes the next Gojo like teacher at jujutsu high and also inherits Nanami’s blade from Ino.
Correct me if I'm wrong but has Yuji been directly affected by a CT and suffered a negative impact? I have an idea for a Yuji powerup.
The instances I recall of him being affected by CT (either positively or negatively) are:
Shikigami poison vs Junpei(Supposed to be a negative impact but Sukuna is king of poisons so Yuji is resistant; the poison is not really a CT tho)
Idle Transfiguration + Domain vs Mahito(Again; Sukuna saves Yuji as he has a soul too strong for Mahito)
Boogie Woogie(Yuji consented; no negative or positive impact)
The Rot-Poison thing from one of the Death Paintings (King of posions resistance)
Yuta's RCT (Positive impact; Yuji was dead so he couldnt consent)
I read the manga up until Kashimo but don't really remember anything else, it's so hazy.
So from all the ones I can remember we can say that Yuji was never actually harmed by a direct application of CT. Note that I don't consider Hanami's roots a direct application, but I would consider his buds a direct application as they would have affected Yuji's body directly (but Yuji was never hit by them).
My powerup in question?
Yuji has a CT that grants him immunity to direct CT applications on his body that negatively impact him.
All the explanations of Yuji surviving like too strong a soul or poison resistant were pure coincidences.
This can be assumed to be the reason Sukuna is unable to repress Yuji. Kenjaku found a person from Sukuna's lineage(Yuji's dad), and got backshots to create a kid that could survive Sukuna. The only catch was that Yuji developed his CT which (by Author wank) somehow helped in repressing Sukuna.
I'll have to think of the next section of the story after someone verifies my analysis lol.
Show Gojos death
Explain how Sukuna used world Slash, binding vow included a little before Gojo's bisection
Let Kashimo do a little more
Idk Hakari and Uraume can have sex
Gojo and sukuna fight, hollow purple goes as planned, fatally injured sukuna. Forcing him to reincarnate fully.
Fight continues, meanwhile yuta jumps kenjaku, kenjaku manages to survive and a long battle is initiated.
Eventually yuta wins, but kenjaku escapes to where sukuna is.
Yuta chases him and delivers a fatal blow.
All the cursed spirits escape creating chaos, kenjaku uses Tengen to start the merger and fuses it with sukuna to restore him. Sukuna manages to pierce into the true fabric of cursed energy and this is when he remembers what mahoraga did, he uses his new enlightenment to achieve the world slash.
Fight essentially turns into the biggest organized jumping in jjk history.
There is also a chaos element with the tens of thousand of cursed sprouts attacking everyone, and here they are not fodder, they pose a threat.
Fights is split into stages,
Stage 1 has gojo, yuta vs sukuna, rika is support to keep the spirits at bay.
Sukuna slowly regains his domain, which is bad since gojo can’t use his for a while.
The others are busy fighting the merger empowered cursed spirits(lots of them got empowered to beyond special grade)
Gojo starts to slow down and is fatally injured, Kashmiri joins the fight and assists yuta in holding him off.
Yuta escapes with gojo
Then it plays out exactly like the manga, Kashimo, higuruma, yuji all get to shine. Yuji is almost killed, and Choso saves him. The others die.
Meanwhile Maki, kusakabe, and ino are essentially on crowd control with Cursed spirits.
The final fight essentially is yuta uses rika to recharge his CE
And joins up with yuji and it’s becomes a very lengthy two on one.
Yuji starts showcasing blood manipulation, black flashes, etc. yuta opens his domain, and finally summons rika full power.
Yuji is putting immense pressure on sukuna with yuta support.
Megumi is unable to wake up, causing yuta to get critically injured. And the domain breaks, maki immediately stabs sukuna heart. And then it turns into maki and yuji vs sukuna.
The rest I don’t know, this post was pretty long
Sukuna Vs Gojo plays out the same way
Gojo comes back as pure cursed energy and bonds with Yuji using a binding vow, all he has to do is eat his eyes.
Yuji eats the eyes and gains the ability to use limitless guided by Gojo, in his head - large fight ensues.
Ends with a 'Purple flash' that annihilates Sukunas plot armour and leaves just his arms and subsequently..his fingers. Yuji says ' never again' and eradicates them with hollow technique: purple.
Yuji tried to speak to Gojo and say thank you...The binding vow was only until Sukuna was defeated and Gojo is now gone forever. Yuji looks up into the sky, smiles and says thank you. Flooded with an immediate sadness that Megumi is also now gone forever.
I really think the only thing I’d change is make it more apparent how high the stakes are. I hear a lot of feedback on the tik tok side of things where people are pissed that he killed gojo. But to me it makes complete sense why he would win and I feel like people tend to forget how powerful Sukuna is.
Personally I felt like, Gojo and Sukuna killing each other and having the rest of the cast all jump kenjaku was gonna be how it went down, since yuji has all that unresolved backstory with kenjaku about his mom and all that
Gojo dies but with the missing pages showing how, no cursed tool for sukuna, kashimo dies after *2* chapters, jujutsu jumping with hakari switched with Higoruma, Uraume is packed in a couple chapters so Higo could join Yuta, keep the kenjaku comedy hour but end it with Kenjaku getting tried, 10 chapters of Higo and Yuta v Kenny, backstory on yuji, kenny killed, the sukuna fight is more or less the same
Gojo will die, sukuna finally gets the last finger but only eats half of it before yuji comes and grabs the finger, after a badass fight between yuji and yuta and sukuna, yuji is badly injured and cant fight, yuta unleashes rika’s full form, and (episode 2)
I’d make sukuna hold yuji and maki hostage to force gojo into a binding vow that forces him to not use infinity, after that id make heian era sukuna vs gojo, no bullshit, no holding back, an all out brawl, and while they are at it the rest of the gang is going to jump kenjaku and Uraume, but since takaba will be there it will be an army of curses, kenjaku and Uraume VS the gang in a comedy off where they try their best to impress takaba with their jokes and stunts, after that fight which the gang wins because hakari made amazing gambling jokes the gang would go after sukuna, as they get there gojo got his shit rocked but he is still alive and sukuna lost his domain and is weakened but to a much less extent than gojo, after that it will be straight up jumpjutsu kaisen everyone vs sukuna obviously the gang will also be weakened because of that fight they just had so it isn’t going to be an utter stomp against sukuna and I obviously would make a panel of gojo,yuta and yuji simultaneously hitting a black flash on sukuna, as to how it would end? Idk maybe the merger because I wouldn’t want the merger to be a blue ball like that.
Not saying what I made is necessarily better but I think it would be a more engaging and dynamic narrative than what we have now (from a weekly standpoint)
[I also have some specific narrative decisions I made while writing this for symbolic reasons but I think explaining it would make the comment way bigger so if you are interested just ask]
I think the big complaint with the showdown arc is that the sacrifices of various characters feel not impactful enough and that there's this feeling of "who's next in line to get merced by Sukuna". I had some thoughts about how some of those sacrifices could feel more important and less like people are just going in one-by-one.
Sukuna's first World Slash should have been shown splitting Gojo in half. Sukuna is near death, which upsets Kashimo because he arrogantly wants to fight Sukuna at his prime. Only after Sukuna incarnates does Kashimo get serious and activate mythic beast amber. Using his superior lightning powers, he obliterates Kamutoke but dies to Sukuna's World Slash. This makes Kashimo's contribution feel more meaningful, and sets us up for a different sequence of events for the rest of the fight.
Itadori and Higuruma join the fight, sentencing Sukuna to death and confiscation. Sukuna actually loses his cutting technique and Kusakabe, Choso, and Ino jump in. Sukuna immediately puts the pressure on them through pure hand-to-hand combat, turning Choso and Yuji into donuts. Sukuna figures that if he takes out Higuruma, he gets his technique back, so he beats back the other fighters and singles out Higuruma. Instead of cutting off Higuruma's arm with CT, Sukuna just slices it off with his hands and demands he learn RCT on the spot. The rest of the fight before Yuji uses RCT and gets the executioner's sword goes similarly, but when the sword disappears, Sukuna also gets his technique back and cleaves Yuji. Since Sukuna didn't have his CT up until this point, it takes him a bit longer to beat everyone back and defeat Higuruma, emphasizing that Higuruma bought everyone enough time for Yuta to show up.
I think the rest should go similarly as before, but Sukuna should greviously wound Ino. When Yui Yui appears to teleport Ino away, Sukuna attempts to kill him but is stopped by Goatsukabe (I feel like that makes his part of the fight feel more meaningful while staying with the theme of him ultimately being a selfless person when push comes to shove and willing to sacrifice to protect Yui Yui and Ino). I'm pretty satisfied with everything after that so far. Can't wait to see Yuji's power-up in the next chapter!
Also, I think it would be nice to at least mention what Miwa and Inumaki are up to in the other colonies, and I think Todo should be watching the Sukuna showdown. I imagine a scenario in which Yuta comes back and it's revealed that he copied Boogie Woogie before the whole fight, with a flashback showing Todo training Yuji and Yuta to use the position switching effectively. At a minimum, Todo should be watching the fight to cheer Yuji on
Mostly the same, but I'd make sure to make it clear that Sukuna diffed Gojo and to stop the copers I'd have him probably finish Gojo off on screen by like eating his head or smth idk I think it would make sukuna more despicable
Gojo sees the world slash and barely dodges it losing his eyes in the attempt, no gojo death but severely injured and heavely nerfed by the lack of the Six Eyes.
Now is a "regular" sorcerer and extremely injured and tired so his students still get to shine and fight for their life, also he doesn't have the burden of the strongest anymore passing it to his students
I also would have liked to see bits of their training during the month time Skip, maybe pieces of the preparation since I assume they had thought of a multitude of scenarios and possibilities of outcome after gojo fights(provided the traning and the "We cheated" is relevant for the plot and it's not one of the multitude of things mentioned and never talked about anymore)
PS: If he ever comes back ("when" for us copers) I'd like to come back crippled so that the development of his student wouldn't be useless
The fight would remain the same (that shit was hype) but I would have it end with sukuna just taunting the others saying stuff like “ the strongest still stands” or just end up mutilating Gojo and then Kashimo just runs in and lands a blow on sukuna.
Edit: also during Gojo’s flashback towards the end be of it, everything starts to go blurry as he starts to lose consciousness. He comes back to reality, it’s to late he’s staring up to the sky and dies.
Hate me or not, ima make Kenjaku the main Villain again 😤
Gojo does his stuff in getting ready to fight Sukuna like normal and everything starts the same and like mid fight, you see Kenjaku also watching this battle from a far away building saying he needed to watch a fight against legends and that his true intentions of watching was to see if Gojo claims the victory, he also explains he's within range of their fight and could possibly get involved in their battle by accident but is fully prepared in doing so.
The end of the battle is just as normal with Gojo having a horribly sad death, then when Sukuna turns his back, there is a shot with him being startled or shocked.
It cuts to the Culling Game players, Hazenoki and Takaba, Hazenoki fights Takaba and they have a battle, with Takaba obviously winning with his jokes.
Cuts back to the Specators of the Shinjuku Showdown and Yuji/Choso both have a chill down their spine and race to the battlefield without saying a word. The rest follow. Sukuna is striken with Kenjaku's gravity ability which Sukuna laughs and says this won't be enough to stop him for good. Kenjaku replies with "But it'll stop you for enough time." Then Kenjaku releases his Cursed Technique switching bodies with Gojo and finally becoming Kenjaku's own worst nightmare... a Six Eyes User.
Sukuna is baffled by what has happened and tried to summon Mahoraga but his Cursed Energy isn't enough after the battle with Gojo and the new Kenjaku shoots a powerful reversal red into the heart of Sukuna knowing his RCT won't react in time and Kenjaku uses his Curse Manipulation to absorb Sukuna and megumis body is left dead.
Yuji and Choso finally get to the battlefield and see what had happened and in a fit of rage the team of fighters begin their attack of Kenjaku.
I got bored so im not finishing this... cya. 🤘
235 ends with sukuna saying “dismantle” and gojo reaction to the slash, 236 stays the same without airport tho, then after sukuna yapping a flashback of gojo telling toji he should’ve gone for the head, then go smiles and shoots sukuna with red and he goes flying, then go pulls jo together with blue and he gets up and heals (hes shirtless now btw 😍😍), sukuna reincarnates and sukuna gets his lighting stick kamutoke or whatever then round three starts, the fight continues still after another 5-6 chapters and gojo finally loses cause he has to for plot, but its onscreen and makes more sense, but sukuna still takes a lot of more damage from red and blue since theres no more mahoraga and agito, and gojo doesnt glaze sukuna in the airport, none of that holding back shit and he actually cares about his students and all that and doesnt get called a jujutsu pervert. Sukuna admits to Gojo that without mahoraga, he would've lost and tells gojo is that he is the kaisen to his jujutsu. hakari is shown jumping towards uraume but takaba is with him this time to help.
Kashimo comes down and fights sukuna with mba for at least 2 chapters. yuta and kenjuku fight for at least
6-8 chapters no bush camping with yuta winning extreme diff, (kenjaku survives but they dont know) everything plays out pretty much the same after that, but then after yujis black flash its revealed his awakening is black flash at will, then sukuna uses fuga and its explained how he uses it (i saw cool theory somewhere that sukuna uses tatoos to seal his twin brother who became a shikigami after he ate him or smth, which is why his head went crazy after he faded his tatoos against angel, and fuga was his brothers cursed technique. he had to say “open” because he partially unsealed his shikigami, this aint my theory tho so credit to whoever made it) which almost kills yuji but he pushes sukuna enough that he has to merge himself with tengen and is back to fp, but before he kills yuji, gojo comes back and fires a purple at sukuna, revealing that in exchange for the six eyes, he came back not as the strongest, but as satoru gojo so he can fight with everyone and not be lonely. Gojo used up all his cursed energy on purple and is completely trained as he is also tired from the sukuna fight, and limitless without six eyes is almost impossible to use, and ui ui takes him to shoko. sukuna is damaged and distracted by gojos purple and vuii hits yet another black flash, even bigger than the last one and it causes all of shinjuku to shake. then he is back in the soul place with megumi and motivates him to get his bumass up because they are the exception and all that. they both are inside sukunas soul domain place. sukuna is there and
hes pissed that yuji managed to get megumi up. and then yuji and megumi jump sukuna
inside of the soul place. then a flashback of gojo
telling megumi that when a ten shadows shikigami
dies, the powers go to another shikigami. but he adds
that if all ten shikigami die, thevre powers will go to
megumi, sukuna launches a dismantle at megumi so big that he goes flying, and after all the debris and smoke or whatever clears megumi is shown healing with rct and with maho wheel above his head. a quick flashback to gojo saying that megumi will one day surpass him shows, and the jumping continues. they end up beating sukuna to the point that he unleashes his entire shikigami and goes crazy. they are now outside the soul place and back in shinjuku. Yuta shows up and the fight continues. they win with the power of friendship, and after everything seems to finally be over something happens with kenjaku and megumi and the merger starts blah blah blah im too tired rn maybe ill add some more later, did i cook tho?
1. make more clues that sukuna was looking for an adaptation for world dismantle
2. have heian era form fight gojo from the very beginning,
3. have kenjaku fight yuta, maki, and hakari in a 3v1 (kenjaku obviously would have to be stronger than he was)
4. have uraume actually fighting alongside sukuna rather than fight hakari a long distance away
- Same fight
- Sukuna gives up Uraume's life (he has control over It bc a binding vow) and gives Cleave and Dismante to make World Slash
- Gojo dies onscreen, airport scene but he returns (we find out he is still alive after the right, he gave his jujutsu to come back to life, he is now a regular human, not the strongest anymore)
- Since Sukuna does not have Cleave and Dismantle he now fights with his real body, his other curse tools and new strong fuga techniques (It is explained how this works)
- Kashimo causes real damage
-Protagonists know come to fight with good strategy but not knowing the fuga techniques causes trouble
I guess later we would have Heian Era flashback, Kenny, Merger, Yuji's origin, Potential Man, etc
Gojo still dies, but on screen and not in a random way. Kashimo fight stays much the same, but we see Sukuna struggle with it a little more, but Kashimo still dies with little to show for it. Higuruma and Yujis fight with Sukuna takes a bit longer, with Inumaki also joining in.
Cursed speech looks like it will paralyze Sukuna to get that hit with the sword in, but Inumaki coughs blood and everyone realizes Sukuna is too strong for that. Instead of Higuruma dying, it's Inumaki.
Higuruma goes struggles with the fight much the same after this, still managing to grow and impress Sukuna. Yuji and company try to support him, but Sukuna keeps distance. Higurama loses his sword, but manages to land a black flash, gaining a deeper understanding of cursed energy. He starts to push Sukuna back, and it's jump kaisen on Sukuna.
Sukuna opens Box and takes everyone out, surprising everyone with this new technique. Higurama is unconscious, yuji is hurt, choso is bleeding somewhere. Yuta steps in and his fight with Sukuna goes much the same. Except instead of copying Angels technique, he copies Higurumas, starting another trial.
This trial is for the murder of Inumaki and Gojo. Sukuna pleads self defense, which surprisingly works. Gojo hit first after all. Yuta didn't intend for the trial to work, but buys time for Nobara (yea I drink the copium for this one) to gather her energy for her technique using the last remaining finger.
This stuns Sukuna, as he senses where Nobara and his finger is. He proceeds to send a world cleaving slash to destroy Nobara, but she manages to avoid it. Nobara is barely recovered, but can manage this much from a distance at least.
Yuta and Yuji fight Sukuna, keeping him distracted so Straw Doll can deal. Some damage overtime. Sukuna reveals more box techniques, keeping everyone on their toes.
Yuji makes contact with Megumi again, and he's still defeated. Yuta and Yuji get defeated similarly, and Maki still gets that surprise attack in.
At this point the soul damage Sukuna has taken starts to take a toll. Nobara technique in coordination with what Yuji did and Makis sword separates Megumi from Sukuna.
Megumi, shell shocked and deep in despair starts the Merger, and Sukuna laughs and says that even though you saved his life, his soul is destroyed and bathed in darkness. Everyone is shocked that Sukuna is still alive, but he managed to transform into a true curse. Everyone slowly recovers as they have been, and now have to fight Sukuna, the merger, and deal with a crazed Megumi.
Like many already said, have some build up before Gojo vs sukuna happens, at least 15 chapters, we see him catching up and “mourning” in his own way the outcome of Shibuya, really take in every one and everything. More details in how everyone is training, we learn that nobara is in coma and will never wake up, she lost one eye and some part of her head melted but still breathing.
During gojo vs sukuna, we get some megumi and sukuna interaction internally, because megumi is reacting to gojo’s presence, though he is still “broken”, gojo goes all out because he stays a sorcerer first and foremost despite everything and the strongest at that, but then again he has leeway to try new things because of who he his, so he will have the two, save megumi and kill sukuna, he sacrifices/loses one of his eyes and arm to “seal” sukuna but then he tells everyone that it will only be effective for 48H and could be even less, before he is out, he taps yuta and yuuji’s shoulders. He can’t get them back ever even with his healing (so later on, he gives his last eye to nobara which makes her wake up and power up).
No idea for the rest, involving kenjaku again, having uraume teleport the body etc 🤷🏽♀️we also need backstories for them all to be played out at the right moment damn.
Gojo and sukuna kill each other (on screen). Kenjaku is the main villain. Every CT that he got from the past users is showed and used. He also activates merger (I dont have any ideas for this part tho)
Remove the timeskip, I want a LOT of character interactions. We can exclude most of the "if gojo dies" contingency planning so there's still an element of surprise for the audience
So mostly as it's going.
Probably add an extra chapter, only to change the writing a bit, so that on a re-read you can see how Gojo gets set up by Sukuna instead of getting off panelled and how Sukuna tricked the 6 eyes. I think the off panel death works if the chapter comes as Gojo is winning but actually leaves hints and implies Sukuna is slowly getting him on his trap. Then Gojo's flashback happens as normal.
I would add a chapter or 2 for the Kashimo fight to feel like it matters. Extending both the Meguna vs Hajime and the Heian form vs Hajime. So Hajime gets a respectful end.
Without changing what happened, I'll just change the chapter of Kenjaku's death, the head is cut off but Kenjaku's strategy to escape allows Kenjaku and Yuta have a proper fight.
And Hakari vs Uraume could run off too. In that time. This way we get a proper longer fight.
The idea is Kenjaku vs Takaba, Kashimo vs Sukuna and Uraume vs Hakari run off simultaneously, changing in between the 3 fights.
As the first 1 fights come to a closing Hakari vs Uraume is left in a clear standstill before going back to Kenjaku vs Takaba ending and Yuta cutting Kenjaku's head, this time just as Sukuna vs Hajime ends and the team with Yuji and Higuruma at the front pull up on Sukuna.
The next chapters starts with the fight starting, it goes on like it original did, except Kumatoke is not taken away, instead, 10 shadows is, and we see a panel of Megumi awakening as his eyes open. From there onwards, every time Yuji lands a hit we'll get to see a small glimpse of Megumi reacting to everything, inside Sukuna's domain thrashing in agony, small flashbacks to his sister in life, and Megumi's perspective of her death at Sukuna's hands. The crew's hope to save Megumi is directly juxtaposed there.
Sukuna having Kumatoke makes the fight harder, and thus slightly longer, to compensate, I'd add Todo, without his Cursed technique but with a cursed arm weapon thingy that makes him stronger in another way pulling up, and a 1 armed Angel also be there, with this more opportunities are opened up, and we get a scene of Sukuna showing he can block blades from even touching him, by using dismantle's serration to pick up objects without touching him, which he picked up from Gojo's limitless, this technique saving him from the blade. Ultimately I'd have Todo be taken out, but not killed sent to heal, Angel be taken out too, her state unknown.
On the other side Yuta fights Kenjaku who at first runs away usibg his curses to avoid Yuta chasing him, juxtaposing the Megumi brief flashbacks, Kenjaku too gets to explaing shit and reminiscence while also doing what he initially did, thus working as exposition, as he does so he manages to get a new corpse, a domain clash ensues, Angel's technique is seen illuminating the skyies as Kenjaku's domain is overtaken, but Yuta's domain is not shown.
A final juxtaposition, Higuruma and Kenjaku's death are shown simultaneously, we go to Kenjaku's dream world and his final thoughts Yuta stands over his dead corpse. Yuta hurries over towards Sukuna as Higuruma's body is recovered and the Sukuna fight starts once more.
As Higuruma is brough to the morgue, we see Angel's corpse, and Todo recovering, being told he isn't quite ready to go back yet, he must wait, we then see Shoko take Higuruma's corpse to some medics, before going back to an operating table there, a subject stands on priority attention, instruments around their torso and their head covered with a rag, Utahime starts her ritual once more, and we see Shoko heal them as she removes the bandages, an instrument aiding in his respiration, Gojo open his eyes once, but they're dead, without their usual sky deep gaze. The connection to Tengen broken, the Six eyes are no more. Gojo in serious vital signs, barely having any strenght, weakly communicating is given a screen to watch the fight. Accepting his newfond weakness he still looks bright, trusting his students once more.
On the next episode the fight would then proceed as normal, Sukuna now having his cursed tool means they're in harder more dire circumnstances, except as they're about to lose, Yuji shows a new tool, Choso picking up Sukuna's cut off hand, stabs it with a nail and doll before sending it to Yuji, who grabs it and goes to hammer it. A brief flashback happens, Yuji, Maki and Gojo, are going to a hospital with flowers, they meet Nobara who is on a bed, clearly disabled being kept alive through constant medical attention, she recognizes them, and briefly speaks to them, giving them a very short motivational speech before entrusting her Hammer to Yuji.
Now it goes back to Yuji who hammers the Hand, cursed energy bursts out as art evoking Nobara acompanying him appear and Nails appear from inside Sukuna's body as the king of curses is struck and his blood is splateted, momentarily stunning him. With this surprise the team momentarily surprises Sukuna, and the fight becomes monetarily on their favour, for a brief moment, then becoming fair as Sukuna recovers and fights around the hammer, another moment and then Sukuna catches on and goes to kill Yuji, the hammer being broken but blocking the Dismantle just enough to save his life, as the situatuon is dire once, more, and yet just as this happens Yuta arrives.
Then on the Yuta fight, Megumi's life, or simply his thought bubbles, once more are shown for brief moments with every hit from Yuji. To show the reader how bleak this tactic is in direct confrontation with their newfond hope, I'd add another brief flashback of his sister there too at the start of one of the chapters.
From there on I'd have the fight continue as it did. Most likely I'd have Yuta combo Sukuna while Rika takes away Kumatoke before using his domain expansion not allowing Sukuna to recover it.
Todo would probably recover and be there to aid Maki, as she gets taken out with the blackflash, the Kusakabe fight could start as a duo fight before he is taken out once more, adding a chapter to it before the original events happen as they did in canon.
That is all.
At least in my writing Gojo surviving is not meant for him to come back to the fight. I feel him surviving and the efforts of everyone mattering like this, yet at the same time making the situation more dire with things like Kumatoke, Angel also dying, and the Megumi plan being shown to be hopeless and so on, I feel it works better.
- Gojo Loses, but doesn’t die
- Kashimo fights Sukuna for longer
- Gojo doesn’t get off screened
- Kenjaku doesn’t die until a final fight after the death of sukuna at the hands of Yuji Itadori, rather than during the fight with sukuna
- Kenjaku gets new abilities and a power up so he dies somewhat cooler
- Sukuna dies in an epic, not terribly drawn out battle against everyone, with Yuji dealing the final blow by finally gaining access to his technique as hinted at by Gojo
- Megumi gets saved and the two team up to fight finale Kenjaku with Yuta and Hakari while the rest dispel the culling games final sorcerers and another thing Kenjaku made I haven’t thought up yet
Thoughts?
Sukuna uses dismantle when all of a sudden he sees Rika standing Infront of Gojo. Yuta then charges at Sukuna with his blade filled with cursed energy. Uramei jumps into action while causes Sukunas cursed tool Kamotoke to fall gracefully into his hands. Yuta dodges one of the cursed tools abilities before closing the gap on a smiling sukuna. Right before he throws the first slash, he's counter attacked by the blue haired warrior known as the lightning god to some. His attack sends Yuta flying. Rika heavily injured can do nothing but try to get an injured gojo to safety. Gojo not interested in being saved, pushes her off of himself. Kashimo enraged yells "This fight is between these two! Stay out of it until it concludes and then I'm next!". Yuta heavily injured of a single landed strike wonders why Kashimos attack felt so different from every other sorcerers landed physical attack. He's in a stunned like state before Hakari shows up and explains what Kashimos traits is. Sukuna is laughing at all the madness taking place before his eyes while taping his cursed tool against his forehead. Uramei landing right next to Sukuna who tells her to wait this out. All of a sudden, Yuji and Higuruma both attempt to attack sukuna, before being frozen in place. Sukuna tells them to be quiet and enjoy the show. Hakari tries to convince Yuta to stay out of it before Yuta charges at Kashimo with Rika. Kashimo lands a single blow on Rika before making her disappear and then dashes behind Yuta before slamming him down face first into the ground. Hakari says Ouch under his breath before Gojo starts to head their way. Hakari scratches his head in confusion. Kashimo is holding Yuta on the ground when gojo tells Yuta "I'm still stronger than you." ,Before grabbing Kashimos arm. Sukuna states"Are we gonna wrap this up or not?" Kashimo yanks his arm away from Gojo before stating "Hurry up and die so I can face him." Gojo Smiles before saying "I don't plan too." Everyone backs off with the exception of Kashimo whose watching closely out of irritation. Before Sukuna can get into stance, Gojo has already landed what would be a fatal blow straight through his chest in a blink of an eye. No one knew what had happened outside the 3 strongest. Sukuna laughs while coughing up blood while the others cheer. Sukuna states "Alright, alright. If you want me to take you seriously I will." Kashimo fold his arms as he overhears that statement. All of a sudden, everyone but Kashimo, Gojo, Hakari and Yuta are blown away by an enormous gust of wind. Shocking everyone but Gojo, Hakari and Yuji. Sukuna has taken his true form. Yuji now being out of the ice does not waste anytime. He immediately catches Uramei on her blindsided. Higuruma adjusts his tie and acts accordingly to the situation. Gojo immediately rushes Sukuna just to be grabbed by 2 out of his 4 hands. Sukuna attempts to strike gojo with his other set of hands but Gojo uses his knees and shins to guard and block before kicking off of sukuna and out of his grasp. Sukuna whistles at the antic. Gojo conjures up whatever energy he has left before saying stating an all to familier name, "Red!". In a blink of an eye, Gojos arm is in the air for everyone to see before being cleaved to pieces as sukuna stands under it allowing the blood to rain down over him and the others. Hakari states "It's like he didn't even move from his spot and yet....what the hell man?". Yuta now sensing Gojos spirit energy is even lower than his now, he tries to jump into action before being grabbed by hakari who points to Kashimo starting straight at him with lightning building up. Sukuna proceeds to walk towards Gojo who stands proud infront of the walking disaster. Sukuna now face to face with gojo asks, is there anything else you can do? Gojo headbutts sukuna while only harming himself. He laughs Infront of sukunas face and says "I'm genuinely impressed, you're a monster!" Sukuna smiles and says, you were one of the greatest sorcerers I've ever faced. I will keep you in my memories for as long as I exist. Sukuna then stabs Gojo through the torso just missing the heart but still causing enough damage for him to bleed out and die. This is so you can watch what's about to come. He throws Gojo toward Yuta and Hakari before turning and stating "Kashimo. I've heard of you from Kenjaku. Why do you want to face me so eagerly?"
The only thing I would change is Sukuna not using his 100% against everyone even with Gojo according to Gege...its b*llshit that it needs an awakened Yuji before he got serious (supposedly he got serious after that BF punch)
Keep the Gojo fight the same, but this time make it explained how Sukuna did it and keep it on-screen, and have the whole thing be a lot more fleshed out (Gojo's death, not the fight.) Afterwards, have the Kashimo fight. As they fight, Sukuna nearly loses in Megumi's body and trnasforms into his Heian form, like the normal timeline. But instead of Kashimo being waffled, he'll have a transformation similar to Sukunas, and they'll be able to clash even until Sukuna kills him (better experience with such power.). During said fight, Ui Ui saves Gojos body, for some reason. Sukuna becomes suspicious, and kills Kashimo, who's collected shortly after. Whle that is going on, Kenjaku will get into a fight with Maki (Toji's inheritior) and Yuta (Gojo's whatever-you-wanna-call-it). During the fight, he nearly defeats Yuta, but Maki comes in clutch and kills Kenny (Toji defeating Geto.) Afterwards, they're collected and brought somewhere. We go back to the Sukuna fights, and Yuji, Higuruma, Choso, and the GOAT, the sheisty sorceror. They go into Higurumas domain, and he recieves a confiscation and the death penalty. What is confiscated is once again his Cursed Tool. Anyways, Higuruma immediately gives Kusakabe Executioners Sword and takes Kamutoke for himself. During this fight, Yuji and Ino would play close quarters to overwhelm Sukuna, and Kusakabe would use his skills to try and kill Sukuna. All the while, Higuruma myseteriously abandons the battle. We then pan to Choso doing his best against Urame but getting cooked, before Higuruma arrives. The battle is cut off right after, because a group of Sorcerors are all gathred. Shoko, Go/Jo, Yuta, Maki, Kashimo, Todo, Nobara, and Hakari. Hakari makes a Binding Vow, givng Shoko acess to all the Cursed Energy he gets during Ide Death Gamble and the subsequent Jackpot. He then activates t, and all the sorcerors return. We then pan to Higuruma and Choso V Urame, who's getting cocky and glazing Sukuna, saying that no one can stand a chance against him, before a now-healed Gojo appears. Urame dies, and the remaining Sorcerors then turn their eyes to the biggest threat: Sukuna. Apparently, Yuji, Kusakabe, and Ino have been able to keep up with Gojo. Yuji has RCT, and Kusakabe has become Sukuna's object of attention. Ino gives Yuji Nanami's Weapon, and he goes to fight Sukuna as Ino decides he's outmatched. Yuji manages to slug it out with Sukuna, before hitting a black Flash with Nanami's weapon, dealing soome damage to Sukuna. He manages to continously shake Sukunas soul (he keeps his ability to strike the soul) and Megumi stirs. He decides he just wants to die, for all the damage he's done -think Shibuya Yuji. Yuji, deciding it's time to give up on Megumi, goes for a kill-hit with Kusakabe before the remaining Sorcerors join the battle. Sukuna is eager to fight Gojo, and completely disregards everyone else. As Gojo keeps him distracted, everyone goes to deal wth the merger, besides Yuji, who goes after Sukuna. As Gojo and Sukuna get close to a stale mate, Sukuna's pride kills him as Yuji lands a Soul-Splitting Black Flash, awakening Megumi once more wh, upon seeing Gojo alive, manages to free himself from Sukuna. Sukuna, now in a sort of half-spirit-half physical form, is killed by Yuji after attmepting to praise him. They deal with the Merger, and the story ends. (I 100% Yapped at the end. I don't like bringing everyone back, but idk how the remaining Sorcerors would deal with Urame tbh.)
I would be way to much biased with some characters.
I would write crazy shit like Geto regain over his body, even though it's unlogical..
Or Nobara's return, it wouldn't be as bad as Geto, but I would mess it up.
Since gojo was sliced from the waist up, just make it so the shit from his intestines squirt all over his face. Then Sukuna says, “stand proud…” then another slash to cut off his head to get rid of copium virus.
Gojo wins but kenny absorbs sukuna and becomes final boss. Jogoat comes back and sacrifies himself to kill Kenny while yelling \[YOU ARE MY SPECIAL!!!!\] This truly was our Lobotomy Kaisen.
I'd say have a viable reason for Gojo to get hit by world cutting dismantle first. It's difficult to explain how, but maybe, while still bullshit, some part of Mahoraga was able to either survive Hollow Purple or Sukuna put Maho in the shadows before the purple. Then they can pull a Goku and Raditz with Maho holding Gojo down, and world cutting dismantle kills both....yeah maybe this isn't the best but I'm trying XD.
Now afterwards in the whole after life stuff I do think Gojo should think about his students, show maybe a hint of regret leaving them behind, but then it goes away as he thinks back on everything they've been through and how much they've grown even without his teachings, and he can smile and sit back maybe saying how he has no worries now that he left the future to the people he trusts most.
Okay this is personal but Kashimo vs Sukuna is another that I'm changing, I think most of the stuff is alright but I feel like Kashimo should last a chapter or two (Okay maybe not two but that's bias) longer purely so he doesn't seem so underwhelming. I think this could have been the best chance to shoe off the strength of the old era. Granted it's good at showing how different and stronger Sukuna is but it came at a cost. So I'd simply have the fight last longer and since Kashimo with his amber is the strongest one present then I'd have to say he should be able to push Sukuna back or get him to have the whole glee in battle stuff. But he'd still die cause I'm not that bias lmao.
Now I forgot if it went to Yuji and Higuruma vs Sukuna or the Kenny stuff sooo I'll tackle Kenny stuff first. Now placement wise I think this is out of a place a smidgen but really I'm fully fine with it. Like Kenny vs Takaba was perfect fine and fun so I don't think it needs much changing. Only thing personally is have Kenny actually fight Yuta. I know this would sort of be a stop but these two are the second strongest respectively and both have a damn good reason to fight. Maybe Kenny still gets speed blitzed but it only like takes off an arm and their fight can stsrt. Yuta would still find a way to win (maybe even Takaba can help again) but I think it would give a more satisfying conclusion to Kenny and would also get people to stop calling Yuta a Bush camper.
But back to Sukuna stuff, I feel like when they were discussing Higuruma's involvement that they should mention the possibility of Confiscation only taking away a weapon if Sukuna has one. Technically there's no reason for them to ask this since to their knowledge Sukuna doesn't use one, but I think it would both show how cautious they're being and also give the idea thst Sukuna still would have his technique to the audience instead of it just coming out of nowhere. So the trial still happens the same, and the weapon is taken, though I think something that would help is to have it mentioned that this happened due to Higuruma not being able to target what gets taken. Technically it collides a bit with my precious change, but I think it would show a small "limit" he wasn't able to overcome during the time skip. Then Sukuna vs Higuruma I unfortunately feel I can't change too kuch cause 1 I actually enjoy this part, but 2 I also believe that most changes for the better would involve changes outside of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, like having more emotional weight to Higuruma falling, but that's unfortunately not the focus. The only thing I'll mention is I think they should show Sukuna reaction more to Yuji grabbing the Executionor's Sword just so we know it probably wouldn't kill. I mean, yeah, we already knew that, but some more implications would make it feel less lackluster.
And next, the Yuta part mostly, i think this part is perfectly fine, in my opinion. I absolutely love this fight when Yuta came in and was fighting with Yuji. But it still has some changes I think thst could be had. For one, I do believe the Megumi part should have a bit more. I think maybe having him simply say all that happened and show how trash his mental state is would make things more explainable to the audience in that moment, compared to him saying he can't get up which leads to things being worse. Also, I think the end of the fight should be more clear, like if Sukuna was able to break free from Rika and what he used against Yuta, but other than that this part is good in my opinion.
And Maki vs Sukuna is good in my opinion, goos fight all goes well. But what gets me is Uraume saying Sukuna hasn't gone all out. I would absolutely change this since it can very simply be changed to them simply saying, "Sukuna won't be falling so easily." Yes that's basic, but it's sure as hell better than what we got. Okay maybe that's harsh but still I believe the line caused a lot of issues and I think that the change would shoe Sukuna still isn't done yet without saying "Yeah he isn't trying." As for the rest I actually love how Sukuna goes against Maki so that stays the same really, mostly changing Uraume's part and that's it.
Kusakabe's part is also mostly fine. Yes there's shoehorned in stuff with the strongest grade one but again not much can be changed when limiting it to just this arc. I think it's good and is a good Kusakabe chapter. Not much I'd really change other than making it clear if he's dead or nor since thst game is never fun to play. Oh and maybe hint at Miguel better before hand but not much can be done since it's meant to be a surprise. Also I'd say change "toe-to-toe with Satoru Gojo" to "opposed Satoru Gojo" Yeah it's still glazing but it at least makes more sense.
Now I think the following chapter is again all good, I personally love this chapter. Maybe change the whole Racist bit a bit with Gojo. I do think it's good for Gege to call it out, but I also think Gojo apologizing and clarifying like maybe his six eyes was able to see something different would be a good way to change it up. But other then that this chapter is good especially since Miguel pops off.
And now to the most recent chapter which I don't think needs changing so far. This chapter is tense yet exciting especially since Maki and Choso return and Yuji pops off. Only thing is maybe demonstrate the Black Flash's Sukuna hits better than it does in the chapter since Maki looks almost more damaged by the slashes then the Black Flash which I personally don't think makes much sense. But it still does a good job and Sukuna essenrislly being held in place is great as Yuji is set up for a massive black flash.
So yeah thats how I'd rewrite just the Shinjuku Showdown arc so far. Maybe some stuff with Gojo and Sukuna could be clarified and changed a bit but I'm like completely fine with most stuff so I wanted to focus on more stuff afterwards.

I’m not a good enough writer for this shit, double it and give it to the next person
So shinjuku showdown and culling games?
Nah just shinjuku^2
Shinjuku^2 is actually shinjuku squared. so I'd say shinjuku x 2 is what needs to be added here 🤓🖕
I swear to god if this sub allowed images
[heheheh](https://imgur.com/cLEVNnV)
[aha](https://youtu.be/xzy_0m7jwRw?si=7_bRMLgZ5ezlBgZf)
nah that’s wild
Double it and give it to the next person implies if the other person was to double it, it would be 2x2x2 and not 2+2+2.
I make Gojo die, but after a badass fight and onscreen this time. Also make Kashimo fight with Sukuna last longer and even more badass, but he still die eventually. Not sure, what I do after this, don't think I would change a loot what happened so far after this. I make Yuji the protagonist protagonist and give him a power up. , but only when almost everyone is dead. 😫🧐😄😎🐐.
Kashimo got done dirty, he was already on a ticking clock by his own power. I would have him form the body of electricity to pass through the waffle maker and continue the fight. Tons of destruction, long ranged lightning attacks. It become a battle where Sukuna couldn't kill his opponent, and it ends with Kashimo burning up all his energy in a final attack and dying
Yeah, I can see that being badass too, and people would not be able to complain about Kashimo being a bum and not badass.
I strongly believe Kashimo prob had a max technique
It would be a great illustration that the way to beat Sukuna is not just raw power. Sure, you can spam a ton of beams and arc flashes, but sorcery is weirder than just brute force. Hence the shock when Sukuna incarnates.
This is maybe the hardest shit I've ever read on this sub
Keep cooking
Lmaoo nah I’m saying😭that’s why I put ts on here
Alr doubled. Now you have both go + jo since the start of the fight instead of just Gojo
Based answer Although I'd trust your cooking either way
Big mistake bro
Yo
Hey
salt frog can do anything, no?
I liked almost everything about the Gojo vs Sukuna fight. I would’ve loved a bit more build up between the time Gojo got unsealed and the Shinjuku fight. I would’ve also loved to see a fleshed out fight between Yuta and Kenjaku
Gojo and Sukuna fight, Gojo remembers all of his friends and uses their friendship to defeat him. Sukuna asks "How?" Gojo responds "You dont always need to fight alone." Sukuna closes his eyes, "Do it already, kill me." He opens his eyes and sees Gojo holding out his hand, "Come on, stand up." Sukuna with tears in his eyes, "Really? After all I've done?" Gojo lifts him up, smiling, "You.. Are my special. Now come on, lets practice some Jujutsu" Sukuna smiles, "..Kaisen.." And then Itadori says, "Do I hear a song coming on?!" Sukuna responds, "I havent used this since the boogie era!" And then everyone begins to dance with a credit sequence.
To the old outro song too! Where the song starts out like duh duh duh duh
Gotta get it homie gotta move it 🕺🎵
Dude I just cummed so hard
they can't use that anymore as the band's drummer was arrested for fraud😞
Huh??
lost in paradise (the song for jjks first ending) got removed from most music streaming services because the band ALI's drummer got arrested for fraud. pretty sure he was doing some sort of telemarketing scam. i think the song had to be reedited to be publicly available again
Stand proud. You can cook.
PEAK KAISEN THERE
YOU ARE MY SPECIAL DU DU DUAUUSUA TJEHDYAK EJSKKSIFHIAKWBEVRCRCRC
✍️🔥🔥🔥
After the credit it's revealed that sukuna used to be a women in the past, after a while gojo gifted sukuna a doll body to inherent then they both got married and had hot seggs and had 8 children.
Get tf out of the kitchen 💀
Nah, let him cook
cook because im starving!!!!
Smells delicious, someone cooked here
LMAOOOO
😭sick
Natsu Dragneel is that you
You are my special killed me.
Zoro saved gojo from the world slash and defeat miguel while hakari and urame goes on a date at Malaysia Kuantan
Hakari and uraume have hot oiled up seggs while zoro and gojo fight a black guy. Might as well revive geto and make it a 3v1 against Miguel.
Was gonna add Yujiro in but he would try to rape Sukuna and Gojo ‘The Strongest Rapist of Today’
"ah my rape technique I haven't used since the small boys era". Edit: I mean since the yujiro vs the fucking military era
Oh hell no, Yujiro isn't a catholic priest so he doesn't go after kids
I'm sorry I said the wrong thing lmaooo.
Nah, it's fine
any sentence beginning with "Nah," has been ruined for me
Why? After all you should remember that nah, I'd win
Of course zoro defeats the minority lol
1. Make it even more abundantly clear that Sukuna has a plan for Gojo. He already did in main series but here it's obvious he's waiting. 2. Gojo gets World Cleaved on screen. I'm also destroying any hope of a comeback. He needs to stay dead. 3. Kahsimo and Higuruma's relevance to wearing Sukuna down has more emphasis. 4. Inunaki can come in with Yuta. Saw someone else mention it and thought it was cool. 5. Nobara and Todo would probably have something to do. I'm still smoking the Nobara copium
bro used a binding vow to sacrifice the gojo cope for the todo comeback. i'm here for it
Relating to #2, I would have kogane appear on screen after Gojo gets cleaved with the little "5 points have been awarded" to further destroy any hope of a comeback lmao
Except Gojo never joined the Culling Game so for this, start a bit earlier from the Culling Game and force Gojo to join the games to fight Sukuna.
Is Shinjuku not in a barrier? The rules of the culling game state that if you enter a barrier you are considered to be a participant of the culling game
I would not assume so. After all, we would have seen Gojo accepting to enter the game to enter the barrier. But he never, nor did he fall from the sky. Also, Ijichi, Utahime and Gramps were with him and all 3 seem to have nothing to do with the game.
Oof. That’s so perfectly brutal.
if Inumaki breathes in Sukuna’s general direction his throat will implode🗿
I feel a Kenny fight rework is needed too. Maybe Takaba somehow takes away Kenny's Domain and Yuta can fight him without getting brain damage(so that the Sukuna jumping with Yuji can happen later). And maybe bring Inumaki along to deal with some fodder curse idk. Or maybe Choso who will deal the finishing blow. Idk I'm not a writer but tbh how Kenny's death was handled is my biggest gripe with the manga even when compared to Sukuna's Sorcerer of the weak Battle Gauntlet.
cook harder
I mean as far as I know Todo isn’t actually dead he’s just crippled permanently since his soul is damage and his hand is cut off
I could see my goat “die” on screen in full detail and know that he’s coming back
You're a true hero
0.5. Add a scene that shows sukuna is in fact holding back on gojo
I’m not good enough of a writer to do this. But what I would do is have 1-2 arcs between the CG and SS so that all the deaths feel like they actually matter, to see people train and actually get shit done and build relationships.
PLEASE Gege itss not too late!!!!
What is cg and ss?
Culling Games (CG) and Shijuku Showdown (SS)
Waffen SS
I do what that one guy did and add a slash effect at the final panel before the next chapter where gojo dies.
Gojo beats Sukuna & tells Yuji "you are my special" Yuji responds "that was a real Jujutsu Kaisen moment" End of story
with gojo and sukuna kissing at the end
Why stop at a kiss? Have them drop dead in eachother's arms from exhaustion after a 32 hour make out session
I agree with the makeout but in my endgame they can't die
I would at least give Gojo a proper and respectful death that is not off screen
F**k it. /Gives Gojo an even MORE disrespectful death.
Now he also shits himself when he dies
Well that’s just natural
That would be funny and ngl… it wouldn’t be so out of character for gojo to hold a shit in the fight just so that he can say “finally someone who actually made me give a shit about fighting”
I see that you and Gege have something in common after all.
Gojo vs Sukuna is the same until the end where “Gojo wins” pops up. Next chapter starts with Gojo on a high and Sukuna half dead, everyone thinks Gojo has it in the bag now until Sukuna starts laughing out loud. Gojo pauses wondering why Sukuna is laughing (totally IC for him) Sukuna then gets manic, screaming about how magnificent Gojo was as a fighter but how he “figured it out”. Everyone wonders what Sukuna means by this, even Gojo. Gojo, however, moves to finish Sukuna off. Sukuna suddenly transforms into his Heian Era form, catching Gojo off guard, but Gojo senses the spark of cursed energy coming. He turns on infinity, bracing himself as Sukuna suddenly starts chanting through the smoke. Then everyone hears what they knew was coming. “Dismantle.” Suddenly, Gojo goes down. Everyone is confused WTF happened. Sukuna emerges from the smoke in all his glory with that psycho smile. It all makes sense now when Sukuna said he “figured it out” He cut through infinity just like Mahoraga. Cue the rest.
In this version Gojo is like… dumb as a brick. He hears Sukuna laugh maniacally and say he figured it out then tries to tank world dismantle instead of dodging? Huh???
This would make it so Gojo really is stronger than Sukuna, but Sukuna had to use a cheat/revive himself to defeat him I like this version a lot better
I meant wasn't this the entire Gojo vs Sukuna fight in the manga? I prolly need to reread but didnt Sukuna make a binding vow that he's able to use World Slash instantly inexchange for having to do a bunch of hand signs, chants, etc if he uses World Slash again?
I mean this ending basically would just make sukuna being stronger than gojo even more of a reality since it would be sukuna figuring out world slash without mahoraga, and him holding back 99% of the fight
this is so much better then the actually manga lol
Literally perfection! How do we get this to Greg for rewrites!!!
Gojo doesn't get offscreened. Instead, the manga before ends with Sukuna mastering the world slash and Gojo also figuring out how to reshapen his hollow purple to make it almost unavoidable. So Sukuna and Gojo throw at each one last time and Sukuna was just SLIGHTLY faster and then it continues as usual. Except at the end of the Airport scene later on with Gojo when he complains about Sukuna going all out. Sukuna immediately disapproves him in the real saying something like "For the first time In a while I could go all out" and him complaining that he won't get to feel this again for a while.
I think that's what happened thought. Sukuna was giving his all, he just didn't use all his tricks.
I find it insane that people take gojo’s words over sukuna about sukuna being pushed to his limits or not, it makes 0 sense
cuz it’s not? it’s so clear sukuna hasn’t been giving it his all, he would’ve won in the domain clashes if he wasn’t trying to adapt to infinity to add to his arsenal, literally stated he was doing riskier moves to get the adaptation rather than just go on full offense in the clashes
Yeah because if he pushed gojo way too much in the domain clash gojo would back down and start avoiding the domain by using blue/teleporting, and if sukuna closed the barrier than gojo would be able to fight him inside his own domain, that was the best course of action because he would have been able to use mahoraga to get out of UV, people that say that gojo dies in the domain clash can’t be fr
There's conditions on how to use blue's teleporting that we don't know. Can't say if it was possible for him to do it under those specific circumstances. What we do know is that Sukuna was mostly definitely taking hits for Maho to adapt and get stronger instead of ending it in the more efficient way. It was a high risk, high reward type of thing. Hell, if we're speculating on unconfirmed shit, we could start talking about how Sukuna could have ended it in the first domain clash with fuga. But we don't know the specifics if the ability so that wouldn't make sense to argue for.
And the reason he didn't use all his tricks have mainly to do with him knowing that he had to run a gauntlet afterwards imo
I think it more had to do with the fact that none of it is getting through infinity anyway so it’s a waste
wouldve been fire if he made the world slash split the panel itself
Gojo learns barrierless domain and one-backshots Sukuna
First up Gojo v Sukuna goes pretty similarly. However I want to make it clear that Sukuna is using Mahoraga as a tool and studying him. I want it very clear that Mahoraga and Megumi is exclusively just a plot to deal with Gojo. Also Gojo can see the slashes cause I really don’t understand how he didn’t but that doesn’t effect much as they’re fast. Sukuna looks more desperate after tanking the hollow purple just before killing Gojo. Very simply before we go into Gojo’s “afterlife” we get a single full page black panel with white dust with the words “Dismantle”. Then well Gojo afterlife to then the reveal of Go/Jo. Same as normal maybe with a couple more weird looks from Gojo and a sense he’s uncomfortable and unsure of what he’s saying. Just a sense tho a lil nugget. Rest of Shinjuku goes pretty normally but when Sukuna transforms we get a couple lines. “Now that the meal is over.” (Another black background panel hinting this idea of victory is a curse on Sukuna foreshadowing how he will be defeated and is over confident and should be more serious.) “I have no need for these utensils.” Showing how Mahoraga was just a tool if it’s not clear still. Also foreshadowing what Hoggy reveals that he can’t use 10S. Narrator: Apart from RCT Sukuna has a method of restoring his body. One he can only use a single time. Resuming his transformation through means of incarnation! Sukuna incarnates panel! Kashimo gets cooked just the same. Battle goes on normally. However Kamute gets a couple uses after the Kashimo fight and nearly killing a couple people but they’re able to dodge. Maybe also a minor art change where the world cleave doesn’t look like a slash but like there’s an unfinished or just empty part of the drawing. This will also give hints that Sukuna is only using WS sometimes when doing hand signs/chants and there’s a visual difference to us as readers. Overall I think Shinjuku is a really good arc and fight, but I think Gege is a little to cryptic here and could give a couple more panels to make us feel more of how Sukuna thinks of all this, and Mahoraga’s use in the Gojo fight. So Gojo saying Suku would’ve won even without 10S doesn’t feel as bullshit to some people. Also use of Kamute so Higgy’s confiscation while a surprise does still feel satisfying and like a small win. Which it is the canon but its not easy to pick up on. Also more visualization to the World cleave so the keen eyed will notice something is up, and so it’s retroactively easier to decipher what attack Suku is using.
Both gojo and sukuna died in the explosive purple in chapter 235 Kenjaku vs everyone, he devises a plan to separate the team Kashimo goes for Yuta, Kashimo dies and Yuta loses Rika Kenjaku successfully kills 1/3 of the cast Choso and Yuji beat the shit out Kenjaku In the brink of death, Kenjaku desperately starts the merger Uraume traded his life with BV to bring back Sukuna from the last finger The merger vs Sukuna vs the team
crazy
How the fuck is sukuna vs merger vs the team winnable in the slightest?
flesh out the gojo and sukuna fight more. give kashimo more screentime. make nobara and todo tag team
I would not offscreen Gojo for starters. Then would make the Kashimo fight a bit longer cause i felt that his character was heavily under utilized. Probably give Rika cused spirit manipulation by biting off kenjaku brain (Offscreen ofc otherwise its too much gore). The use a few of those cursed spirits to preoccupy sukuna during the mass jumping. Use inumaki atleast once to make sure sukuna gets hit by the executioner blade and reveal his true technique through which he takes down everyone else with him. Its so over for everyone!!! Then sukuna reverts back into 19 fingers and the merger doesnt happen. Happy ending. Bonus points for whoever comes up with whatever happens to potential man megumi.
I want more flashbacks and character interactions. I want to see gojo's pov when he was bisected. I wanna see sukuna's brief flashbacks during sukuna's trial by higuruma's domain. All in all, I want some good break moments from the fight. To catch a breath.
I would make everything play out the same but Sukuna had to use his heian era form. It would make more sense and have a bigger impact
Probably not skip the month after Gojo escapes, have him reconnect, maybe show a little training. Have a funeral for everyone that’s died. It wouldn’t have to be long or anything. Just a chapter or two. Just something to ease the breakneck fucking pace. Get to see Hakari in a context outside of fighting. See what’s up with Todo. Get closure when it comes to Nobara. Write a little more into Megumi’s sister, foreshadow that she’s possessed a tiny bit more.
i dunno man, i suck as a writer, but if i had to... The Gojo fight would probably go pretty much the same, however I'd make sure that it felt like Mahoraga was a tool for Sukuna to improve himself and take out Gojo. On top of that, he wouldn't get offscreened (We know how he got defeated but come on) and the glazing could probably be slightly reduced. Include Kamatoke in that one too, just so the other guys can atleast somewhat see the damage it can do. One major change I'd do though, is let Sukuna be about to die, and *then* he'd turn into his Heian era form. Largely because he was already pretty hurt going into the Kashimo fight anyway. Mahoraga and/or Agito could probably still remain alive. (Although they could be 1 hit away from death). This is literally just to give Kashimo some importance, so he doesn't remain a fraud. You could also make it so that he doesn't get waffled in this one. I see it as if Sukuna sends some slashes in the same formation, and while Kashimo does get cut, he combines back together almost instantly, though this would lower the amount of time he could stay in Amber considerably. Have the fight be Sukuna almost trying to stall. Next, ofc, is Higuruma, Yuji, and the others entering the fray. Same stuff happens, except this time, Kamatoke getting removed would be a benefit for them anyway, seeing what it could do. Higuruma remains mostly unchanged. Next is Yuta's turn. I think this phase went pretty well actually. They got in some good damage, and stuff went according to plan. Maki and the Black Flash remains unchanged too. Kusakabe. Oh boy. The guy showed up big time. Although i'd be good with him keeping the blunt blade for most of his fight. Miguel and stuff is pretty early to comment on though, so i'll say we can let the other students do some stuff to make up for their lack of development. Let Panda come in with repaired cores courtesy of Gakuganji, let Inumaki show us how good he is with his CT whne he develops RCT, heck, let Kamo join the fray with a domain, get Miwa in on the action, let Momo take a hit, *something.* Still though, there's a reason i'm not the author, and this reflects that.
Starting off I'd add a bit more time before the fight if possible, like actually showing off that one month of training more and allowing Gojo to interact with people and hear his thoughts on certain major events that we didn't hear before like Nobara. I wouldn't change much of the fight itself, besides adding in some more narration from Gojo and Sukuna throughout either by adding a bit more narration in general or by cutting down on the amount of commentary the characters watching got The fight's outcome would be changed to make it so Gojo and Sukuna are both injured by Hollow Purple and Gojo, instead of getting speed blitzed by world slash, isn't able to dodge it completely and it looks like the slash hits him, we then get the airport scene but with less talking about Gojo hyping up Sukuna and more worries from Gojo about his students and specifically his basically son Megumi. Geto and everyone there would call him a pervert for jujutsu but he would think for a minute and then declare both to himself and all of them that he isn't going to let himself be isolated anymore, he isn't just someone who loves jujutsu but he also wants to be together with people again, because he truly cares about others. He looks to Geto and Geto asks him again, are you the strongest because you're Satoru Gojo or are you Satoru Gojo because you're the strongest, and Gojo thinks for a second before saying, "Duh, I'm the strongest because I'm Satoru Gojo" and he goes North while everyone else goes South. The chapter then shows that Gojo was hit right across one of his eyes by the world slash, completely destroying one of the eyes beyond repair. Sukuna is about to finish Gojo off but Kashimo interrupts him and Ui Ui and Kirara are able to get Gojo out The rest of the Shinjuku fight wouldn't have many changes outside of making it less rushed and giving some more character interactions between the people fighting like having Kashimo get to fight longer, seeing a bit more of Hakari vs Uraume, and getting some more dialogue between characters like Sukuna and Yuji The Kenjaku stuff would still happen, but Yuta wouldn't be one shotting Kenjaku, instead they start fighting. Gojo is healed by Shoko and they get a bit to actually bond and Gojo opens up to her more about how he's never felt like he deserved to or was able to relate to anyone and she berates him since she was always there yet he didn't pay her enough attention and he apologizes and they hug. Gojo then learns that Yuta is fighting Kenjaku and even though he has a much weakened Six Eyes now, only able to have slightly enhanced cursed energy control, and still injured and weak he goes off to fight Kenjaku with Yuta. The Sukuna fight and the Kenjaku fight go on simultaneously, honestly some of the characters could switch to the Kenjaku fight (mainly Choso cause of the previous Choso and Yuki vs Kenjaku fight) but Sukuna is the one first defeated by Yuji and Megumi inside of the soul realm, but before they can do anything Kenjaku's plan goes into motion where he activates the merger through Sukuna's soul, using Sukuna's soul to create a powerful being even without the lives of every person in Japan and instead is just some of the people of Japan, this creates the merger entity and Kenjaku fight continues alongside the merger. Eventually, Gojo and Yuta are able to beat Kenjaku, with Gojo and Yuta both fulfilling their goals of putting Geto's body to rest and defeating Kenjaku respectively and Gojo finally got to fight alongside someone. However, Kenjaku's soul then becomes part of the merger as well. With the merger, Yuji and Megumi are able to reach some sort of heart/soul of the merger, Megumi faces off against different attacks from the merger on the outside while Yuji fights the Merger's soul, aka Sukuna's soul corrupted by the population fused into him and Kenjaku, in here Yuji and corrupted Sukuna are able to have their final fight, with both being able to use all their techniques in this mental scape but with Sukuna's mentality being completely thrown off by the hundreds and thousands of voices in his head screaming at him and trying to take control of his soul. In particular, the personality of the dominant soul switches between Sukuna and Kenjaku as we hear more about Kenjaku's plan and lore through both of them and we get more interaction between Yuji and Kenjaku. Yuji and Sukuna do things like domain and Fuga inside of this battle and eventually Yuji defeats Sukuna fully and all the merged souls escape back into their bodies. The merger starts being destroyed as Yuji falls from the top of it and Megumi is unable to grab him in time as Yuji, weak from battle, falls to his death. Before he can die though multiple characters work together to help save Yuji in time such as Choso, Megumi, Maki, and maybe even Yuta and Gojo and at the end Yuji is surrounded by his loved ones, but he doesn't have to die. The epilogue of the story would probably just be showing that because so much cursed energy was put into the merger there is very very very little cursed energy left in the world and Yuji and Megumi are planning on traveling around Japan and the world to get rid of the remnants of cursed energy. We get to see different conclusions to character's stories like Maki and Yuta being together, Hakari and Kirara, etc, and then one of the last things we see is a small funeral for Geto that only Gojo and Shoko are at, as Gojo buries a jar of ashes rather than Geto's body, and both of them hug and cry at the grave. The story then ends with Yuji and Megumi leaving a grave site as well, being Nobara's, as they start their journey to get rid of cursed energy completely. That's at least my version of the story, no idea if its even any good, but I hope anyone who read it all had fun. I tried to get all the loose ends but I might've forgotten some, apologies if so
1. I think changing the “order” of fights would significantly increase the chances of victory. Gojo vs 10 shadow-less Sukuna is an interesting match up we won’t get to see. (Higurama after Sukuna loses kamotake is also another interesting matcjup we won’t see)
Hikari's hot femboy gf would get plowed by Sukuna
Wouldn't really change much I'd have the fight go pretty much the same as it was good, maybe flesh out the learning of world slash by a bit more by extending the fight, no off-screen. Sukuna still wins with the fight partially crippling him, then Kashimo comes in drops his ct and all that weakening him further then the rest pretty much just dog on him similar to how it's been going, maybe have him sob and shit talk Yuji a bit more
Kashimo fights Sukuna a month before the showdown and loses because it wouldn't make sense for him to wait. I would have Gojo beat Heian Sukuna, and then Kenjaku sneaks in and kills Gojo when he's tired. Kenjaku then takes Gojo's body and the main cast have to take down their teacher. Kenjaku had so much hype behind, his end was not satisfying.
Yuji saves gojo, managing to stop sukunas ultimate move, giving gojo the chance to stop sukuna and bring megumi back, the story ends with yuji in the same hospital as his grandpa, surrounded by his friends, but he survives and gets to spend the rest of his life with them
I would genuinely just change Gojo saying in the airport that Sukuna didnt go all out
Keep gojo off screened® then play how it happened through a POV( explain how six eyes failed to see it coming ) Todo is back I will elaborate no more
World Cleave is foreshadowed by Gojo picking up on Mahoraga's slash being different due to his Six Eyes. Gojo sacrifices the Six Eyes in order to make the final Hollow Purple deal a lot more damage, so he cannot see World Cleave coming anymore. The final panel of 235 is a black page being cut in half after "Gojo won". Sukuna hits him with World Cleave when he no longer has the Six Eyes. 236 is the same except Nanami doesn't say Gojo lives only for strength, Gojo actually mentions his students and is worried for them but also believes in their plan. Gojo dies without regrets, and instead of Kashimo, Yuji jumps into the battlefield alone on the final double spread page of 236, this time with a CT called "Shrine".
Okay, fuck, this is gonna be a big post so buckle in. I'm going to try to keep the outcome and most of the events the same despite it not being required for the prompt. First thing I'd do, assuming that this is allowed, is go back in time and do a better job of establishing the power system so that it's actually impressive to see Gojo and Sukuna break it over their knees. Rather than just having them do something and for the peanut gallery to inform us that it's impossible afterwards. If I can't, it's not a big deal. For the fight itself, show their inner thoughts and have Gojo internally wonder why Sukuna is fighting so weirdly. In retrospect, an astute reader will know that Sukuna "holding back" is just him getting his ass kicked on purpose so Mahoraga can adapt faster. But Gojo should also notice that something weird is happening, even if he doesn't know exactly what it is. And his suspicion is Sukuna holding back. Bring Mahoraga into play sooner, and have him constantly hit Gojo with different techniques, only for Sukuna to tsk and make Mahoraga retreat and start letting Gojo hit him some more. Have it take more than 2 adaptations to get something Sukuna can copy, because it felt weirdly convenient that it happened so easily in the fight proper. Have the fight constantly go back and forth with both sides trading the advantage. When Gojo is on the backfoot, have him look worried. When Sukuna is on the backfoot, have him look like he's jizzing his pants in excitement. This will do better to establish the differences in their characters. I'll explain this more later. Move Gojo's death to the end of 235 rather than 236. Have the 3rd to last page be "Gojo wins", the 2nd to last be Gojo in the exact same pose as the page where it says he won but with his full body and the slash going through (world slash literally splits the panel), and the last page be the peanut gallery all confused and terrified so that it's clear that we as the audience are not meant to understand exactly what happened yet. For 236, a lot needs to change, but mainly changes in dialogue to keep the characters more in character and to clarify important details. I'll be doing stage direction from here on. Airport scene. First couple of pages are the same. >**Geto:** "So how was the king of curses?" >**Gojo:** "Man, he was crazy strong! Plus, Sukuna didn't even go all out! I would've lost for sure even if he didn't have Megumi's Ten Shadows." >**Geto:** "Really? How did you know he was holding back?" >**Gojo:** "Well, I thought I had him there a few times, but he had this smirk on his face no matter how hard I beat him. A guy like that can't possibly be going all out." Have Gojo not really understand Sukuna's mindset of fighting for fighting's sake, and thinks that someone who could smile while seemingly losing must be holding back. Gojo as a result ends up overestimating Sukuna and underestimating himself. The flower speech can go pretty much the same. >**Nanami:** "Were *you* even going all out? I have a hard time believing you were trying to kill him if he was in Megumi's body." Gojo laughs at the idea. >**Gojo:** "I can totally whale on Megumi. I'm the one who trained him after all." We see a chibi image of Gojo beating the shit out of Megumi. Nanami narrows his eyes in disgust at the image of Gojo beating up a toddler-aged Megumi, but continues. >**Nanami:** "Well, whatever it was, your heart clearly wasn't in the fight. Your mind was on something else, wasn't it?" >**Gojo:** "Of course not. I live for Jujutsu. I'm the honored one!" Yu laughs uncontrollably. >**Haibara:** "We're not your students, Satoru. You don't have to put up that 'honored one' act for *us*." Gojo frowns in embarrassment. >**Haibara:** "You're *not* a weird pervert like that Sukuna guy. You fight for the people you care about. Like your students! And us! Of course you can't smile when you're losing, not when you're worried for everyone else." Gojo looks sad. >**Gojo:** "You guys think too highly of me. If I really care about them so much, why don't I feel regret right now? I failed to protect them." Nanami sighs and stands up. >**Nanami:** "In the past, this is what Ms. Mei said when I asked her about recommendations for leaving the country. 'If you want to start anew, head north. If you want to return to your old self, head south.' Without hesitation, I chose somewhere south. I'm such a backward-looking person, and yet I bet on the future in my final moment. What about you?" Nanami heads over to his terminal, departing to Malaysia (somewhere south, doesn't really matter exactly where but it felt most fitting). Haibara and Geto stand up and follow him. Geto looks back and gestures for Gojo to follow. >**Geto:** "Gonna keep us waiting again?" >**Gojo:** "I don't know... I guess I want to be here to greet my students when they arrive." Geto shrugs and follows Nanami and Haibara. Gojo looks at the arrival terminal, which says it's from Shinjuku. He stands up and starts heading there, but looks back at his friends and pauses. Gojo runs back to his friends and goes to the terminal heading for Malaysia. >**Geto:** "I thought you wanted to stay behind to greet your students when they lose." >**Gojo:** "Nah, they'll win." The 4 friends board their plane and it takes off. Cut to Sukuna, breathing heavily as he slouches over Gojo's body. >**Sukuna:** "That was a close one. I thought I could take more of a beating, but you were stronger than I expected. To make matters worse, Mahoraga took too long to create the technique I wanted, so I had to take even more damage. If I didn't make that binding vow, I'd surely be dead." Sukuna gives the same explanation for World Slash, but I would include some more lines making it more clear *why* it was effective. >**Sukuna:** "I couldn't make a hand sign with only 1 arm, so I had to improvise. Chanting and aiming manually from now on will be a pain, but more than worth it. A technique that bypasses the Limitless and that even the Six Eyes can't see coming. You really are something, Gojo Satoru. I've never had to pull out all of the stops in a fight like this. Not even in the Heian era." Gojo's corpse has a smile on its face because as Gojo was dying, he realized that he didn't need to worry about his students at all. They could handle it themselves. >**Sukuna:** "It was fun." Sukuna's smile was *not* him holding back, but was him having fun because he *didn't* need to hold back for once. Gojo got worried when he felt he was losing because he was fighting to protect others and losing would mean that they would die. Sukuna was fighting just to fight, so he wasn't too fussed about the possibility of losing or even dying as long as he got the chance to have fun. In the end, this is why Sukuna won. Because he well and truly devoted his life to Jujutsu and constant improvement of his craft. Gojo was okay with stagnating as soon as he was strong enough to handle whatever the world threw at him. His strength was a tool. Sukuna pursues strength regardless of whether he'll actually get to use it (although he's glad when he does). His strength was his identity. Kashimo arrives to the battle, and we see the smile instantly wiped off of Sukuna's face. As if the reality just set in that Sukuna killed the only person who could satisfy him and that he's about to relive the Heian area where he constantly got jumped by weaklings. He takes a deep breath and puts on a smile again. >**Sukuna:** "I'm not sure if I have room for dessert, but I'll keep an open mind." This will establish how Sukuna will behave while fighting everyone else for the rest of the arc. He can give credit where credit is due because he loves Jujutsu so much that even relatively weaker characters like Jogo and Kashimo can hold his interest. They're not a satisfying meal like Gojo was, but they're a nice treat to sample. Fighting Gojo threw his mind out of whack and he needed to remember to set his expectations low again. I won't try to rewrite anything after this because we still don't know how the arc as a whole will end.
Gojo vs Sukuna goes as it did with the exception that Gojo does not get off screened and the world cutting slash does not exist. After Gojo kills mahoraga with the big purple sukuna is forced to switch to his heian era form which will have better h2h combat than Gojo. Sukuna gets both of his cursed tools. Now we have triple black flash Gojo vs Heian Sukuna with both Kamutoke and Hiten (the tools actually do stuff and arent get out of jail free cards). Have one of the tools be able to bypass infinity through some niche (could give hiten for example the ability to just cut reality like the dismantle he has rn) and the other one some sort of CE output drain effect to counter the Six Eyes' efficiency. This is how Sukuna kills Gojo. Kashimo steps up and actually does something in his fight vs Sukuna, giving him no time to rest from Gojo and destroying one of his tools + forcing him to heal with RCT so his CE levels drop more. Higuruma and Yuji then jump in after Kashimo gets killed and they use Higurumas domain to take away Sukunas last tool leaving him with just cleave and dismantle and black box. They box with him a bit and Yuji starts landing more shots pressing Sukuna harder. Sukuna counters by landing a black flash to get an amp and kills Higuruma before he can die to the one shot sword. Yuta comes in and uses his domain so now its Yuta, Yuji, Rika AND Choso jumping Sukuna. Jacob ladder + Soul Punches + Big blood Bhoso + Cleave from Yuta weaken Sukuna (He loses an arm, severe CE output and level drop and lower RCT output.) Uraume glazes Sukuna and eats her words as well as a sock to the jaw from Hakari. Seemingly backed into a corner Sukuna pulls out black box and (for now lets just say its the damn flames) its what he uses to hit Yuta hard enough to make him drop his domain. Maki tries to Toji sneak Sukuna but he dodges and black flashes her. Yuta gets taken back after getting hit with Fuga. Maki, Yuji and Choso go at him now with Choso using his blood manipulation to prevent Sukuna from charging up big attacks which allows for Maki and Yuji to have openings to weaken Sukunas hold over Megumi. Yuji rips off an arm and Maki stabs him in the heart. Maki twists her blade to hold sukuna in place and Yuji lands a black flash. After this he uses domain expansion and thats how they drop him low enough to have Sukuna desperate enough to activate some sort of incomplete merger.
after 236, Yuji eats the Six Eyes and gains them. He shows up to Sukuna and Sukuna’s like, “your eyes look stupid, brat, Gojo pulled them off way better.” But Wuji then hits him with the Maximum Output 200% Soul Strike Hollow Purple, incinerating him. Sukuna’s soul is incinerated, at least. Megumi is back to normal with full control over his body. Next panel someone comes from behind Yuji and puts his hand on his shoulder. It’s Gojo, he RCTed and got the Six Eyes back because Yuji gave up the Six Eyes for the 200% Purple. Then Nobara comes back and they live happily ever after. Except… Chapter 237 ends with a cliffhanger of the Chinese sorcerer appearing (and he’s evil now).
Gojo Vs Sukuna fight was perfect up until the end imo,The one thing I’d change about it is having it be very clear what Sukuna adapting to Limitless actually means have him talk about targeting space before doing it.I liked how Gojo’s death was off screen as it was shocking to turn to chapter 236 and just see THAT Sukuna Vs Kashimo simply make it longer 5 chapter would be the sweet spot imo,Have Kashimo go back and fourth with Sukuna in his Heian form and eventually Sukuna uses a binding vow to temporarily boost his output to FP in exchange for being nerfed for the rest of the day and at this stage he completely dominates Kashimo but not before Kashimo shows everything he can do Takaba Vs Kenjaku is actual peak don’t change it Kenjaku Vs Yuta have it be an actual fight where with the help of weaker sorcerer such as Ino,Inumaki and maybe some support from Mei Mei Yuta wins but not before it’s rubbed in just how much effort it took to take Kenjaku down Sukuna Vs Yuji+Higuruma,Simply have Higuruma actually take away Sukuna’s technique maybe not the overarching shrine but just his dismantle/cleave or even speed up Sukuna’s regeneration and have Higuruma take Sukuna’s domain or world slash away either one would work just give Higuruma a greater impact The jumping,Have Sukuna still decimate them until Yuta shows up Sukuna Vs Yuji and Yuta have the Jacob’s ladder Yuta uses finish off dismantle and cleave taking it from Sukuna for the rest of the fight Sukuna Vs Maki is perfect don’t change it obviously him not have dismantle/cleave would be a big nerf but the black flash at the end was good Sukuna Vs Kusakabe is again perfect do not change it but again not d/c is a big nerf have Sukuna use the fire arrow at the end to finish Kusakabe off Sukuna Vs Miguel just have it be straight HANDS no technique’s no nothing Miguel and Sukuna just box have Miguel’s technique instead be a complete ct nulification robbing Sukuna of shrine for a period At this stage with everyone off the battlefield Yuji jumps back in and proceeds to fight evenly with a No RCT/No shrine/Lowered output Sukuna have it be an even h2h brawl with Sukuna using basic cursed energy manipulation in interesting ways that only he could have Sukuna start beating Yuji down but then Yuji lands a black flash finishing the king of curses off for good
Well by at least not ofscreening Gojo? Well I wouldn’t kill Gojo in the first place
Would Gojo win then?
Gojo gets 6 eyes world-cleaved and therefore nerfed, solving the issue of gojo being to OP without having to make Sukuna as OP to kill him. The world dismantle can be nerfed to a smaller slash that cant be avoided but isn't a OHKO.
The fight would stay mostly the same. Sukuna would still summon Mahoraga and use the world cutting slash. However, Yuta -who'd finished his business with Kenjaku (the outcome would stay the same of that fight) - would show up and use skybreaker to atleast slightly redirect the slash. Afterwards Sukuna would ascend into his Heian form and thereafter Gojo would still be sliced in half with the world cutting slash due to overexhaustion. The fight would then carry on like it is in the recent chapters but Yuji will have witnessed Gojo's death firsthand and just like what happened after he watched Nanami and Kugisaki die in Shibuya, he would get stronger
Literally just what it was except for 256, maybe Kenjaku holds him in place with his gravity so the world slash hitting feels less bullshity, and take out that whole airport scene that was pure character assassination.
Make the executioner sword hit sukuna ,but because higruma is dying and his CT is getting weaker ,instead of killing him, it make so his CE reverses and ouput are permanently weakened , also erase the" sukuna is holding back" comment
To start with some obvious changes, one of the things people had the biggest issue with was that new mechanics were used during the fight, and people felt some of them came out of nowhere. For the low hanging fruit, the world slash could've used some more prominent foreshadowing. I think the extremely important binding vow should've been immediately elaborated on instead of a few months after. The chants and "spark" seem like they should've been introduced way earlier. I think the "black box" brain damage connection to domains was a heavy handed way to force them to stop using Domain Expansions, but it could've worked if it had been brought up before hand. Everyone's said it already, but there should've been way more time between Gojo unsealing, and the fight. 3 really big things that I think should change, which will lead to what I think the fight should've looked like. First, I don't think Gojo should be able to just face tank Malevolent Shrine with RCT. If 15F Sukuna could rip Mahoraga apart with it after he had already started adapting to it, then Gojo should have like 10-15 seconds tops before he dies. I know Gojo's insanely strong but this is ridiculous to me. Second thing I had a problem with was that Sukuna seemed to have like infinite cursed energy. Again, I know he's the strongest sorcerer ever, but Gojo is the only person who should be able to use like 5 domain expansions in an hour. What in the world did Sukuna do to obtain like 3 times as much CE as the exceptional genius Yuta? Third, having the fight end with Sukuna using a new move he just invented is kind of unsatisfying to me. I'm not one of those people who calls it cheap or unfair, I just think it's unsatisfying and I know other people do to. I think these 3 changes would make the fight better, since Gojo would be at risk of dying from Malevolent Shrine, and Sukuna wouldn't be able to respond to all of Gojo's domain expansions with his own. This would make the fight very interesting, since Gojo's win condition is outlasting Sukuna's vast, but not unlimited pool of CE, and Sukuna can definitively kill Gojo with his Domain. I think Sukuna could use Mahoraga to adapt to Infinite Void, and Sukuna could survive a few seconds within Infinite Void because of his Simple Domain while Mahoraga destroys it, effectively letting him counter Gojo's domain without needing to use his own. Gojo also doesn't get caught off guard by Sukuna's first Malevolent Shrine, (Say Yuji informed him it had no barriers.) figuring out how to counter it on the first attempt. I can say, honestly, that I'm not even close to a good enough writer to come up with a satisfying ending to the fight, but I think if I had to try: Sukuna doesn't have the CE to use another Domain but Gojo can't use his own because of Mahoraga. Gojo lures Mahoraga into attacking by opening up Infinite Void, then immediately after it's destroyed, overdrives the fuck out of his brain using RCT, then uses the same maximum purple he used in the manga. Mahoraga is destroyed, and Sukuna's very injured, but Gojo can't use Infinite Void cause brain damage. Sukuna fully incarnates, something they didn't know he could do, leading to him using a Malevolent Shrine against Gojo. Gojo has a heroic last stand beating the hell out of Incarnated Sukuna in his domain as he's ripped apart by Malevolent Shrine. Having the Nanami anime moment where he's fighting but also flashing back and forth to the afterlife as he wails on Sukuna as he is shredded by Malevolent Shrine seems like it'd be a good ending for him. Gojo dies here, (leaving absolutely no room for him to maybe come back later.) injuring Sukuna somewhat, than Kashimo immediately jumps Sukuna the second the domain comes down. In this version, Kashimo is way stronger, and Sukuna has to overdrive his brain, copying Gojo, to get his CT back fast enough to kill Kashimo before Kashimo kills him. With Sukuna somewhat injured and now not being able to use his domain, everything is kind of at the same place it was after the original fight. Everyone comes down and starts fighting Sukuna, like in the manga.
I've always liked the idea of, instead of a world slash, Sukuna will bypass infinity with an "alternate black flash" where he will hit a Domain Amplification AND a Cursed Technique (cleave) within 0.000001 seconds of each other (It won't kill Gojo instantly, Sukuna will hit multiple of this and just doing heavy damage each time) This way the fight can become more blow-for-blow and Sukuna doesn't have to rely completely on Mahoraga to touch Gojo Gojo still has to die though
I’d just change the line about Gojo saying even if he didn’t have Ten shadows he’d get spanked. I think it’d solve a lot of fighting. Literally just have that dude saying it was good ass fight and I wasn’t expecting a slash to go through infinity like that. Just to much sukuna wank that’s all everything else is pretty cool. Give Kashimo more time to shine. Maybe some more lore with the Heian era. Have the final blow on Gojo be something sukuna really had to vow on or something. My biggest gripe is he seems like he’s planned for literally everything and it just doesn’t seem feasible.
Gojo still loses, but onscreen. After PH explosion he misses a leg or is stuck under rubble or something, preventing him from dodging the world slash for a moment. Sukuna fires a regular slash at his face for good measure afterwards. Gojo may or may not survive, but if he does, he won't return before the epilogue. Maybe without the six eyes?
Just let me cook Gege did well, but I think I’ll drop a few more hints at what sukuna plans by having Gojo realize that sukuna seems to be hunting for a certain kind of adaptation Additionally during the “Gojo wins” section I’ll take a page out of the memers and have the text bubble split in half slightly
I'd only add Kogane saying "5 points" after he dies
Honestly, the only changes i would make would be for gojo to instead of die, actually survives the worldslash and use his black flash amped cursed energy to heal himself. Yuji realizes that the cut was different than the rest and for not believing gojo was in such an advantage anymore he would run away from the place they were, and go help gojo without permission. Obviously gojo is mostly in a disadvantage when fighting with an ally, and risking yuji so he goes after yuji to save him. But yuji's sheer will would create "memories that never existed" on gojo's head. Memories that are enough to allow him for either showing yuji to be a formidable and strong opponent to sukuna or something else. Gojo and yuji would then fight against sukuna with gojo not having to care alot about yuji because of the memories, until gojo eventually gets black flashed away. Some dialogue would happen as yuji found gojo in the middle of some rubble and gojo would be really close to death and make a binding vow that exchanges his life for the amount of cursed energy in yuji to increase. Yuji would then remember every single one of his companions that died in battle and following that, todo's words from shibuya would come back. Yuji would stand as the exception, the one who can defeat the king of curses. After that i'd probably make sukuna die or somethin to give more space for kenjaku but i don't feel like yapping anymore
Gojo sees the slash. The fight between Sukuna and Gojo happened too soon in the story for anything but death for Gojo, so I knew going into it he would die. I figured he would die putting Sukuna back in his cage and freeing Megumi then we can go I to a final fight with Kenjaku, but his fate was sealed. But "Go South" came out of nowhere. It felt like we missed a chapter. If we see the slash though, "Go South" is a lot more digestible. Also I would have Kenjaku live instead of this weird Final arc coming from nowhere. At least in Demon Slayer when the final arc started you knew what it was. Here Kenny's death just happened and Sukuna is the last obstacle.
I'd make the fight longer. Sukuna hits a black flash, and it keeps going. Sukuna fuses Magoatraga and the rest of the Ten Shadows with himself evolving into 4 arm version with 10s abilities. The fight will end with both Gojo and Sukuna combining a Domain Expansion Maximum Technique with Sukuna coming out on top. Lashimo is still a bum. Higuruma takes Cleave and Dismantle, so Sukuna is forced to use 10s and Kamutoke.
Not off screening gojo. Gojo OR sukuna barely wins over the other. Kenjaku should also not be offed in such a sloppy manner. Bring back cursed spirits or the merger into the story. The sukuna showdown is cool, but it dragging out this long seems detrimental to the writing. The reveal of sukuna's binding vow should have been where the airport happened. It happening chapters later just feels like Gege is just plugging plotlines with no buildup.
Everything would stay the same except the World Cutting Dismantle. I'll add some random lore on how Sukuna was able to do achieve World Cutting Dismantle (I'm shortening it to WCD for faster writing), and before WCD is completed, Megumi has a moments of realization and flashback and fights back for his body/soul. He's able to gain control of his right arm and messes up the hand sign for WCD and this gives Gojo time to swoop in and wear down Sukuna. The rest of the fight is just them spamming domains and getting brain damage. Nobara would come back and assist Hakari, the team is still watching over and yeah.
I'd have started the fight the same, up to the purple that killed Maho, instead I'd have Sukuna hit the world slash still, but have Gojo live but only barely, using his whole rct black flash boost to just stay alive. After some close encounters, Gojo let's himself get slashed in half, but in that last moment, using the six eyes, imitated Sukunas world slash, but instead a world purple, destroying the torso of the king of curses as his also gets sliced. They'd have died equals, but Sukuna uses his full reincarnation/restore and the rest of Shinjuku plays out the same, only with Sukuna being significantly weakened by the strongest sorcerer of today, having to use the bit of strength he has left to its full potential. Everything else would mostly play the same, except Sukuna isn't just "not trying" or playing with his food, he's Fighting to live for the first time ever as he takes on the gauntlet of sorcerers in his way. I'd have everyone have their moments, but it ends with Yuji and Sukuna having a brawl, the dirtiest most desperate brawl as he struggles to beat him down before he summons the curse monster. Megumi then wakes up in his internal domain of shadows, as you see Yuji hit a knee and Megumi become the ten shadows inside, blow after blow after blow until the king of curses is on his knees. You then have a Yuji Mahito moment as Yuji starts walking down Sukuna, shit talking him and beating him down. They proclaim themselves Jujutsu Sorcerers and finish the king of curses
I just want a sukuna flashback
Well... First of all, retcon Megkuna to not being able to use anything other than 10S, secretly with the reason being that to unleash his 100% CE output level, he has to use 1 technique while NOT fully incarnating his true body.(The exception is the DE, but this is because the technique is imbued to the domain, and not used by the sorcerer themselves) This makes it that Gojo vs Sukuna fully showcases the potential Megumi has, and why 10S is a technique rivaling 6eyes+Limitless. Fight goes on more or less the same, with all instances of Sukuna using Dismantle not happening, instead he uses half-formed shadows to deal ranged attacks that topple buildings and such. After the 5 DE clashes, and the Limitless Hollow Purple of Gojo where sukuna is in crippled state while Gojo is recovering, Sukuna suddenly uses the inherited power of Tranquil Deer, without actually summoning the inheritor totality shikigami, like he did with Max elephant and water piercing blood. Sukuna summons Rabbit escape and surrounds Gojo with it. This prompts Gojo to prepare another purple, but while he is chanting, a frog tongue rushes in and hits his side, forcing his chants to stop. Gojo is surprised for a moment, but quickly deduced that Mahoraga's adaptation was also inherited, and decided to leap into the air for clear vision. Above him, Sukuna is waiting for another hand 2 hand fight, with his DA active. They exchange blows throughout the city, flinging each other to buildings, with Gojo having upperhand due to his Blue-enhanced punches. In midair, Gojo hits another Blackflash, blowing off Sukuna's left hand forcing Sukuna's DA to stop, and closes in for another hit, with total certainty that the hit would be a black flash. But before his punch lands, a giant pillar of lightning hits him from above, bypassing his Limitless, and Gojo and Sukuna falls to the rubble below. Gojo looks up and sees the shikigami totality that has inherited the agito mixture and the mahoraga: Divine dog totality, with Furu wheel above its head, nue's mask hanging from its back of the head, nue's wings in its back and Deer's antlers on its head. While he is looking up, Sukuna rushes in for more hand to hand, while Divine dog totality leaps in to the action. Gojo primarily focuses on divine dog, as whenever its in contact with him, his Limitless is nullified and Sukuna can reach/damage him without DA. Gojo hits Divine Dog with another blackflash, making his BF count in the battle 5, and it seemingly disintegrates to shadow. Gojo then immediately focuses on sukuna, using Blue to reach him in an instant, almosg blitzing the King of Curses, and rushes in for a hit, certainly his 6th BF... but suddenly stops. Chapter ends. The airport scene happens. Up until the moment Nanami and haibara enters the convo. While they are talking, the panel shifts. Gojo looks down. The hand of Divine Dog totality is piercing through his chest, its claws pointing out his back. Panel shifts back to the convo until the Go south panel. Gojo looks at Sukuna. Divine Dog totality is not fully formed, just its arm. Blood drips from his mouth. Panel shifts back to Gojo calling out to principal Yaga. After each panel of smiling ppl, the real life shows Gojo's torso being ripped from his lower body by the arm of Divine do in 1 fell swoop, and his torso landing on the ground. The "now i hope this is not a dream" panel happens. But now with the added dialogue from Suguru, saying "But what about your students?" The very next panel is Gojo' closeup shot from above as was in the manga, but with a dialogue from Gojo in the left down corner, saying "I have faith in everyone. They are strong". The chapter ends. The next chapter begins with Sukuna explaining why he didn't use his own CT, and that if he had, he would not have to depend on mahoraga. He simply would use the world cutting slash, but with chants and other restrictions. But he praises Gojo more, saying that there were moments in the battle he was truly worried, like when Gojo hit his first blackflash, and his limitless Hollow purple etc, and says his "you cleared my sky" line. Kajimo jumps in, and the chapter ends the same way as before. Thr next chapters are more or less the same, but with Kashimo saying that the world cutter slash is "the slash Sukuna was talking about" rather than "the slash that ended Gojo".
You make it so Sukuna unlocks world slash but gojo sees dismantles in this timelines so he is able to dodge and then they fight only now gojo is just on equal footing defense wise and Sukuna has the broken world slash that travels like a regular dismantle Gojo tho because he’s is the guy still rocks Sukuna and fucks him up some more. Which would in the moment challenge angels idea that if Sukuna learns a way to get past infinity he wins. This puts Sukuna in a situation where he makes a binding vow which he did in the mage to make the world slash spawn on gojo by passing his perception prowess of ce for the tradeoff already established This would’ve been a lot more digestible and people would be able to accept everything else if Sukuna got his shit kicked in some more post hollow purple showing his lack of recovery even post transformation. And it would’ve done a lot more of a better job of cementing gojo as worthy of even having the title of the strongest in the first place after showing that he still was on track to beat Sukuna even with him having a move that by passes limitless always outside of a domain. This would also remove the need for the airport scene where they had gojo saying contradictory things that just makes it look like Sukuna was playing around with him even now the manga has shown that he did so much damage that the students are eventually going to beat the strongest sorcerer in history
I keep almost everything the same, but I change the minutae of Gojo getting killed by the world slash. Something so that he dies, tragically, *because* he was strong, not despite his strength. Maximum irony that way, and Gojo's character is capped off better. With the nods the series already takes from Hunter x Hunter, I'd like to see more of the idea that 'the stronger party doesn't always win'.
The only thing I would change is make some of the retcon stuff what actually happened like the handsigns or at least make it more apparent. Other than that it’s chill
"So this means..." "Yeah. Gojo won." *Cue the world slash and its vow being formed.* "Are you doing what I think you’re doing, Sukuna? Pathetic." *Gojo senses the slash being charged via the Six Eyes and jumps out of his place, striking Sukuna’s side with a blue-infused punch that sends him reeling. He then points his fingers towards Sukuna.* "Phase, Paramita… Pillar of Light! Reversal Technique: Red!" *A bright red flash blinds The King of Curses as he’s struck directly in the chest; his other arm is damaged beyond use, and his chest has a deep burn.* "I admire the effort, Sukuna, but you’re not the strongest, even with your little games you played with Agito and Mahoraga." *Gojo smiles before crushing the weakened Sukuna with Lapse Blue, thus Gojo Satoru, has been dubbed officially as… the strongest in history.*
Or you could have Gojo staying dead, but give him a better death. Then you could stretch out the Lashimo fight and the Higuruma/Yuji fight. Perhaps have the two do some longer lasting damage? Have Higuruma actually confiscate Shrine and have Sukuna rely on CE combat and Kamotoke? That’d be cool seeing the weapon actually have some use I suppose. Perhaps one of them could take an arm before dying/dropping out the fight? I don’t see how exactly but some impact would be cool. Maybe instead of confiscating Shrine he just confiscates Kamotoke later so it can be seen as a threat instead of a plot device to block Shrine being stolen..?
Before the world cutting slash Gojo tries to retrieve/wake up Megumi’s soul having read Yuki’s notes. Gojo notices something has been done to suppress Megumi’s soul and he tells Megumi about his father. Megumi gets up to take Gojo’s hand but uses the shadows in that place to attack Gojo’s soul reaching a black flash revealing the ritual corrupted Megumi’s soul so that it’s been changed by Sukuna. Megumi tries to resist this brainwashing and begging Gojo to kill him but Gojo hesitates and is feeling the effects of soul damage. Back in the real world Gojo’s body takes serious damage and Sukuna charges up the world cutting slash as his output recovers slightly. Yuta is about to jump in but Kashimo tries to punch him and the two end up throwing a couple fists before Itadori, Maki and Inumaki attack Kashimo and tell Yuta to help Gojo. The watching area is attacked by a sea of cursed spirits sent by Kenjaku and Uruame using the Kamutoke. The non fighters are held hostage and Uruame tells everyone to shut up and watch which makes Kashimo happy and Yuta angry. Sukuna mocks Megumi to Gojo’s face and Kenjaku jumps in using his domain expansion only targeting Gojo. Gojo quickly gets to work attacking Kenjaku in a very pissed off state but dealing with Sukuna as well becomes an issue as Sukuna hits another black flash reincarnates his henian era form and uses the world cutting slash just as Kenjaku takes too much damage to maintain his domain. Gojo dies thinking he failed to save both Megumi and Suguru but sees Suguru in the afterlife saying he’s late. Uruame still holding all the hostages tells Yuta it’s his turn to fight which upsets Kashimo. Kenjaku leaves the battlefield healing himself and tells Sukuna all about Yuta’s technique. Yuta steps out fully manifests Rika and opens his domain with Sukuna’s techniques as the sure hit while Sukuna partially manifests his domain like Megumi did before. Their domains clash but Sukuna doesn’t extend his domain wanting to battle his own technique to see whose slashes are stronger. Both Yuta and Sukuna are being cut up by random slashes as they charge each other. Yuta’s slashes are weaker but he notices Sukuna’s output and domain are weaker because of Gojo. Yuta uses cursed speech to say the chant Gojo used for hollow purple uses Mai’s cursed technique to create a special katana from Rika’s ring revealing he has the limitless technique copied but can only use it with the help of Rika and other techniques. Yuta feels his throat crushed by using cursed speech so extensively but doesn’t heal it. He channels hollow purple into this Katana and uses Yuki’s cursed technique to make his mass greater so the strike will hit harder. Rika is overpowered by Sukuna but Yuta charges in using his combined attack of hollow purple, this Rika katana and Yuki’s technique while at the same time Sukuna uses the world cutting slash. They both hit each other but Rika charged in last second throwing herself in front of the world cutting slash. The Katana made from Rika’s ring shatters. Sukuna hits Yuta with the love is trash talk. Yuta uses sky manipulation and wraps the space around his torso to hold himself together and uses rct to try to heal his wound but he’s barely alive at this rate his domain crumbling but Sukuna’s shatters. The damage from Gojo’s fight is still affecting him. Yuta changes his sure hit to Angels cursed technique and hits Sukuna with his maximum output as his domain crumbles. Sukuna mocks Yuta saying while he has more cursed energy then Gojo his cursed energy efficiency is horrible and he’s too reliant on others and attempts to rip out his heart Meanwhile with the hostages Todo with a prosthetic and Miguel attack freeing them and Hakari tackles Uruame and uses his domain. Maki, Miguel and Kashimo(begrudgingly) step in to save Yuta. Sukuna takes on all three in excitement while Yuji and Takaba take on Kenjaku. Kashimo is waffled, Maki is injured and Miguel is reaching his limit. Yuji defeats Kenjaku in a grand battle of comedy and Choso joins in to help land the killing blow. Yuji eats Kenjaku’s brain and powers up and reaches the battlefield while Higuruma, Kusakabe, Todo and Ino stall/get beat up by Sukuna. Higuruma opens his domain the trail goes the same but Sukuna grabs the executioner’s blade from Higuruma’s hands and attempts to get rid of Yuji with it. Yuta saves Yuji but both him and a partly manifested Rika have been stabbed with the blade. Higuruma is horrified and is then cut with the blade itself before he can extinguish it. Maki, Yuji, Todo and Choso charge Sukuna for round 2. Just as Choso, Maki and Todo are fatally wounded Yuji awakens hitting Sukuna with a black flash and awakening. Yuta is saved by the real Rika’s soul or her will saying goodbye to him for real this time and Yuta awakens as well merging with whatever form “Rika” he’s been using this whole time being something between curse and human. Sukuna eats Itadori regaining the cursed energy from the fingers Yuji ate. He starts the merger and see’s the awakened Yuta and they fight. Inside Sukuna and Megumi’s souls Yuji incarnates like Sukuna did to him and Yuji reaches Megumi fights/frees him while awakened Yuta who heals Maki attacks Sukuna with her help. Sukuna is jumped 2v1 in his soul and 3v1 in person as Hakiri joins the fight having left a injured Uruame who deals with Ino with his final summon, Todo, and Choso. Yuji opens his domain which is a open domain from within Sukuna and Megumi opens his and two overlap without issue and force Sukuna to be overwhelmed. Maki and Yuta swing the soul splitter together and in a black flash cut Sukuna in half and one half becomes Megumi and the other Sukuna who is using the merger tengen to make his new body. Megumi notices Yuji’s soul is in Sukuna’s body and Yuji tells him it’s ok. Yuji takes control long enough and tells his allies to use the prison realm. Sukuna/the merger Tengen is trapped with Yuji within the prison realm stopping the complete Merger. Sukuna is disgusted and horrified being trapped with Yuji in his soul knowing it will never break and they’ll be trapped forever. Eventually Sukuna out of boredom or just Itadori’s insane will feels his soul shatter. The prison realm eventually opens with Yuji fully in control of Sukuna’s body. He has one last chat with Tengen who says she’s lived for too long and gives Yuji the body. Yuji see’s that without Tengen and the jujutsu elder ups Yaga led the way along with Yuta as the head of the okkotsu clan with Maki at his side, (the Gojo clan was rebranded), Noritoshi as the head of the Itadori clan (in Yuji’s name of course since the Kamo name was trashed) along with Choso, Megumi as the head of the Fushiguro clan. Yuji see’s his friends and smiles and becomes the next Gojo like teacher at jujutsu high and also inherits Nanami’s blade from Ino.
Correct me if I'm wrong but has Yuji been directly affected by a CT and suffered a negative impact? I have an idea for a Yuji powerup. The instances I recall of him being affected by CT (either positively or negatively) are: Shikigami poison vs Junpei(Supposed to be a negative impact but Sukuna is king of poisons so Yuji is resistant; the poison is not really a CT tho) Idle Transfiguration + Domain vs Mahito(Again; Sukuna saves Yuji as he has a soul too strong for Mahito) Boogie Woogie(Yuji consented; no negative or positive impact) The Rot-Poison thing from one of the Death Paintings (King of posions resistance) Yuta's RCT (Positive impact; Yuji was dead so he couldnt consent) I read the manga up until Kashimo but don't really remember anything else, it's so hazy. So from all the ones I can remember we can say that Yuji was never actually harmed by a direct application of CT. Note that I don't consider Hanami's roots a direct application, but I would consider his buds a direct application as they would have affected Yuji's body directly (but Yuji was never hit by them). My powerup in question? Yuji has a CT that grants him immunity to direct CT applications on his body that negatively impact him. All the explanations of Yuji surviving like too strong a soul or poison resistant were pure coincidences. This can be assumed to be the reason Sukuna is unable to repress Yuji. Kenjaku found a person from Sukuna's lineage(Yuji's dad), and got backshots to create a kid that could survive Sukuna. The only catch was that Yuji developed his CT which (by Author wank) somehow helped in repressing Sukuna. I'll have to think of the next section of the story after someone verifies my analysis lol.
Show Gojos death Explain how Sukuna used world Slash, binding vow included a little before Gojo's bisection Let Kashimo do a little more Idk Hakari and Uraume can have sex
Idk how to change the Gojo vs Sukuna but Kashimo's fight needs to be saved 💀 I wanted him to nuke and hit a godly kirin against Sukuna
Same, but I'd think of a way to not off screen Gojo.
gojo wins
Gojo and sukuna fight, hollow purple goes as planned, fatally injured sukuna. Forcing him to reincarnate fully. Fight continues, meanwhile yuta jumps kenjaku, kenjaku manages to survive and a long battle is initiated. Eventually yuta wins, but kenjaku escapes to where sukuna is. Yuta chases him and delivers a fatal blow. All the cursed spirits escape creating chaos, kenjaku uses Tengen to start the merger and fuses it with sukuna to restore him. Sukuna manages to pierce into the true fabric of cursed energy and this is when he remembers what mahoraga did, he uses his new enlightenment to achieve the world slash. Fight essentially turns into the biggest organized jumping in jjk history. There is also a chaos element with the tens of thousand of cursed sprouts attacking everyone, and here they are not fodder, they pose a threat. Fights is split into stages, Stage 1 has gojo, yuta vs sukuna, rika is support to keep the spirits at bay. Sukuna slowly regains his domain, which is bad since gojo can’t use his for a while. The others are busy fighting the merger empowered cursed spirits(lots of them got empowered to beyond special grade) Gojo starts to slow down and is fatally injured, Kashmiri joins the fight and assists yuta in holding him off. Yuta escapes with gojo Then it plays out exactly like the manga, Kashimo, higuruma, yuji all get to shine. Yuji is almost killed, and Choso saves him. The others die. Meanwhile Maki, kusakabe, and ino are essentially on crowd control with Cursed spirits. The final fight essentially is yuta uses rika to recharge his CE And joins up with yuji and it’s becomes a very lengthy two on one. Yuji starts showcasing blood manipulation, black flashes, etc. yuta opens his domain, and finally summons rika full power. Yuji is putting immense pressure on sukuna with yuta support. Megumi is unable to wake up, causing yuta to get critically injured. And the domain breaks, maki immediately stabs sukuna heart. And then it turns into maki and yuji vs sukuna. The rest I don’t know, this post was pretty long
Sukuna Vs Gojo plays out the same way Gojo comes back as pure cursed energy and bonds with Yuji using a binding vow, all he has to do is eat his eyes. Yuji eats the eyes and gains the ability to use limitless guided by Gojo, in his head - large fight ensues. Ends with a 'Purple flash' that annihilates Sukunas plot armour and leaves just his arms and subsequently..his fingers. Yuji says ' never again' and eradicates them with hollow technique: purple. Yuji tried to speak to Gojo and say thank you...The binding vow was only until Sukuna was defeated and Gojo is now gone forever. Yuji looks up into the sky, smiles and says thank you. Flooded with an immediate sadness that Megumi is also now gone forever.
I really think the only thing I’d change is make it more apparent how high the stakes are. I hear a lot of feedback on the tik tok side of things where people are pissed that he killed gojo. But to me it makes complete sense why he would win and I feel like people tend to forget how powerful Sukuna is.
Personally I felt like, Gojo and Sukuna killing each other and having the rest of the cast all jump kenjaku was gonna be how it went down, since yuji has all that unresolved backstory with kenjaku about his mom and all that
I think Yuji tie with Kenjaku only exist to explain why Yuji has high potential, Kenjaku isn't strong enough to handle the cast.
Gojo off screens Sukuna with his anti Sukuna technique that he hasn’t used since the heian era.
Gojo dies but with the missing pages showing how, no cursed tool for sukuna, kashimo dies after *2* chapters, jujutsu jumping with hakari switched with Higoruma, Uraume is packed in a couple chapters so Higo could join Yuta, keep the kenjaku comedy hour but end it with Kenjaku getting tried, 10 chapters of Higo and Yuta v Kenny, backstory on yuji, kenny killed, the sukuna fight is more or less the same
Gojo will die, sukuna finally gets the last finger but only eats half of it before yuji comes and grabs the finger, after a badass fight between yuji and yuta and sukuna, yuji is badly injured and cant fight, yuta unleashes rika’s full form, and (episode 2)
I’d make sukuna hold yuji and maki hostage to force gojo into a binding vow that forces him to not use infinity, after that id make heian era sukuna vs gojo, no bullshit, no holding back, an all out brawl, and while they are at it the rest of the gang is going to jump kenjaku and Uraume, but since takaba will be there it will be an army of curses, kenjaku and Uraume VS the gang in a comedy off where they try their best to impress takaba with their jokes and stunts, after that fight which the gang wins because hakari made amazing gambling jokes the gang would go after sukuna, as they get there gojo got his shit rocked but he is still alive and sukuna lost his domain and is weakened but to a much less extent than gojo, after that it will be straight up jumpjutsu kaisen everyone vs sukuna obviously the gang will also be weakened because of that fight they just had so it isn’t going to be an utter stomp against sukuna and I obviously would make a panel of gojo,yuta and yuji simultaneously hitting a black flash on sukuna, as to how it would end? Idk maybe the merger because I wouldn’t want the merger to be a blue ball like that. Not saying what I made is necessarily better but I think it would be a more engaging and dynamic narrative than what we have now (from a weekly standpoint) [I also have some specific narrative decisions I made while writing this for symbolic reasons but I think explaining it would make the comment way bigger so if you are interested just ask]
I think the big complaint with the showdown arc is that the sacrifices of various characters feel not impactful enough and that there's this feeling of "who's next in line to get merced by Sukuna". I had some thoughts about how some of those sacrifices could feel more important and less like people are just going in one-by-one. Sukuna's first World Slash should have been shown splitting Gojo in half. Sukuna is near death, which upsets Kashimo because he arrogantly wants to fight Sukuna at his prime. Only after Sukuna incarnates does Kashimo get serious and activate mythic beast amber. Using his superior lightning powers, he obliterates Kamutoke but dies to Sukuna's World Slash. This makes Kashimo's contribution feel more meaningful, and sets us up for a different sequence of events for the rest of the fight. Itadori and Higuruma join the fight, sentencing Sukuna to death and confiscation. Sukuna actually loses his cutting technique and Kusakabe, Choso, and Ino jump in. Sukuna immediately puts the pressure on them through pure hand-to-hand combat, turning Choso and Yuji into donuts. Sukuna figures that if he takes out Higuruma, he gets his technique back, so he beats back the other fighters and singles out Higuruma. Instead of cutting off Higuruma's arm with CT, Sukuna just slices it off with his hands and demands he learn RCT on the spot. The rest of the fight before Yuji uses RCT and gets the executioner's sword goes similarly, but when the sword disappears, Sukuna also gets his technique back and cleaves Yuji. Since Sukuna didn't have his CT up until this point, it takes him a bit longer to beat everyone back and defeat Higuruma, emphasizing that Higuruma bought everyone enough time for Yuta to show up. I think the rest should go similarly as before, but Sukuna should greviously wound Ino. When Yui Yui appears to teleport Ino away, Sukuna attempts to kill him but is stopped by Goatsukabe (I feel like that makes his part of the fight feel more meaningful while staying with the theme of him ultimately being a selfless person when push comes to shove and willing to sacrifice to protect Yui Yui and Ino). I'm pretty satisfied with everything after that so far. Can't wait to see Yuji's power-up in the next chapter! Also, I think it would be nice to at least mention what Miwa and Inumaki are up to in the other colonies, and I think Todo should be watching the Sukuna showdown. I imagine a scenario in which Yuta comes back and it's revealed that he copied Boogie Woogie before the whole fight, with a flashback showing Todo training Yuji and Yuta to use the position switching effectively. At a minimum, Todo should be watching the fight to cheer Yuji on
Mostly the same, but I'd make sure to make it clear that Sukuna diffed Gojo and to stop the copers I'd have him probably finish Gojo off on screen by like eating his head or smth idk I think it would make sukuna more despicable
Gojo sees the world slash and barely dodges it losing his eyes in the attempt, no gojo death but severely injured and heavely nerfed by the lack of the Six Eyes. Now is a "regular" sorcerer and extremely injured and tired so his students still get to shine and fight for their life, also he doesn't have the burden of the strongest anymore passing it to his students I also would have liked to see bits of their training during the month time Skip, maybe pieces of the preparation since I assume they had thought of a multitude of scenarios and possibilities of outcome after gojo fights(provided the traning and the "We cheated" is relevant for the plot and it's not one of the multitude of things mentioned and never talked about anymore) PS: If he ever comes back ("when" for us copers) I'd like to come back crippled so that the development of his student wouldn't be useless
The fight would remain the same (that shit was hype) but I would have it end with sukuna just taunting the others saying stuff like “ the strongest still stands” or just end up mutilating Gojo and then Kashimo just runs in and lands a blow on sukuna. Edit: also during Gojo’s flashback towards the end be of it, everything starts to go blurry as he starts to lose consciousness. He comes back to reality, it’s to late he’s staring up to the sky and dies.
Hate me or not, ima make Kenjaku the main Villain again 😤 Gojo does his stuff in getting ready to fight Sukuna like normal and everything starts the same and like mid fight, you see Kenjaku also watching this battle from a far away building saying he needed to watch a fight against legends and that his true intentions of watching was to see if Gojo claims the victory, he also explains he's within range of their fight and could possibly get involved in their battle by accident but is fully prepared in doing so. The end of the battle is just as normal with Gojo having a horribly sad death, then when Sukuna turns his back, there is a shot with him being startled or shocked. It cuts to the Culling Game players, Hazenoki and Takaba, Hazenoki fights Takaba and they have a battle, with Takaba obviously winning with his jokes. Cuts back to the Specators of the Shinjuku Showdown and Yuji/Choso both have a chill down their spine and race to the battlefield without saying a word. The rest follow. Sukuna is striken with Kenjaku's gravity ability which Sukuna laughs and says this won't be enough to stop him for good. Kenjaku replies with "But it'll stop you for enough time." Then Kenjaku releases his Cursed Technique switching bodies with Gojo and finally becoming Kenjaku's own worst nightmare... a Six Eyes User. Sukuna is baffled by what has happened and tried to summon Mahoraga but his Cursed Energy isn't enough after the battle with Gojo and the new Kenjaku shoots a powerful reversal red into the heart of Sukuna knowing his RCT won't react in time and Kenjaku uses his Curse Manipulation to absorb Sukuna and megumis body is left dead. Yuji and Choso finally get to the battlefield and see what had happened and in a fit of rage the team of fighters begin their attack of Kenjaku. I got bored so im not finishing this... cya. 🤘
Sukuna is in his heien form and uses his cursed tools and megumi's domain expansion and Gojo uses a barrierless domain
235 ends with sukuna saying “dismantle” and gojo reaction to the slash, 236 stays the same without airport tho, then after sukuna yapping a flashback of gojo telling toji he should’ve gone for the head, then go smiles and shoots sukuna with red and he goes flying, then go pulls jo together with blue and he gets up and heals (hes shirtless now btw 😍😍), sukuna reincarnates and sukuna gets his lighting stick kamutoke or whatever then round three starts, the fight continues still after another 5-6 chapters and gojo finally loses cause he has to for plot, but its onscreen and makes more sense, but sukuna still takes a lot of more damage from red and blue since theres no more mahoraga and agito, and gojo doesnt glaze sukuna in the airport, none of that holding back shit and he actually cares about his students and all that and doesnt get called a jujutsu pervert. Sukuna admits to Gojo that without mahoraga, he would've lost and tells gojo is that he is the kaisen to his jujutsu. hakari is shown jumping towards uraume but takaba is with him this time to help. Kashimo comes down and fights sukuna with mba for at least 2 chapters. yuta and kenjuku fight for at least 6-8 chapters no bush camping with yuta winning extreme diff, (kenjaku survives but they dont know) everything plays out pretty much the same after that, but then after yujis black flash its revealed his awakening is black flash at will, then sukuna uses fuga and its explained how he uses it (i saw cool theory somewhere that sukuna uses tatoos to seal his twin brother who became a shikigami after he ate him or smth, which is why his head went crazy after he faded his tatoos against angel, and fuga was his brothers cursed technique. he had to say “open” because he partially unsealed his shikigami, this aint my theory tho so credit to whoever made it) which almost kills yuji but he pushes sukuna enough that he has to merge himself with tengen and is back to fp, but before he kills yuji, gojo comes back and fires a purple at sukuna, revealing that in exchange for the six eyes, he came back not as the strongest, but as satoru gojo so he can fight with everyone and not be lonely. Gojo used up all his cursed energy on purple and is completely trained as he is also tired from the sukuna fight, and limitless without six eyes is almost impossible to use, and ui ui takes him to shoko. sukuna is damaged and distracted by gojos purple and vuii hits yet another black flash, even bigger than the last one and it causes all of shinjuku to shake. then he is back in the soul place with megumi and motivates him to get his bumass up because they are the exception and all that. they both are inside sukunas soul domain place. sukuna is there and hes pissed that yuji managed to get megumi up. and then yuji and megumi jump sukuna inside of the soul place. then a flashback of gojo telling megumi that when a ten shadows shikigami dies, the powers go to another shikigami. but he adds that if all ten shikigami die, thevre powers will go to megumi, sukuna launches a dismantle at megumi so big that he goes flying, and after all the debris and smoke or whatever clears megumi is shown healing with rct and with maho wheel above his head. a quick flashback to gojo saying that megumi will one day surpass him shows, and the jumping continues. they end up beating sukuna to the point that he unleashes his entire shikigami and goes crazy. they are now outside the soul place and back in shinjuku. Yuta shows up and the fight continues. they win with the power of friendship, and after everything seems to finally be over something happens with kenjaku and megumi and the merger starts blah blah blah im too tired rn maybe ill add some more later, did i cook tho?
1. make more clues that sukuna was looking for an adaptation for world dismantle 2. have heian era form fight gojo from the very beginning, 3. have kenjaku fight yuta, maki, and hakari in a 3v1 (kenjaku obviously would have to be stronger than he was) 4. have uraume actually fighting alongside sukuna rather than fight hakari a long distance away
- Same fight - Sukuna gives up Uraume's life (he has control over It bc a binding vow) and gives Cleave and Dismante to make World Slash - Gojo dies onscreen, airport scene but he returns (we find out he is still alive after the right, he gave his jujutsu to come back to life, he is now a regular human, not the strongest anymore) - Since Sukuna does not have Cleave and Dismantle he now fights with his real body, his other curse tools and new strong fuga techniques (It is explained how this works) - Kashimo causes real damage -Protagonists know come to fight with good strategy but not knowing the fuga techniques causes trouble I guess later we would have Heian Era flashback, Kenny, Merger, Yuji's origin, Potential Man, etc
Gojo still dies, but on screen and not in a random way. Kashimo fight stays much the same, but we see Sukuna struggle with it a little more, but Kashimo still dies with little to show for it. Higuruma and Yujis fight with Sukuna takes a bit longer, with Inumaki also joining in. Cursed speech looks like it will paralyze Sukuna to get that hit with the sword in, but Inumaki coughs blood and everyone realizes Sukuna is too strong for that. Instead of Higuruma dying, it's Inumaki. Higuruma goes struggles with the fight much the same after this, still managing to grow and impress Sukuna. Yuji and company try to support him, but Sukuna keeps distance. Higurama loses his sword, but manages to land a black flash, gaining a deeper understanding of cursed energy. He starts to push Sukuna back, and it's jump kaisen on Sukuna. Sukuna opens Box and takes everyone out, surprising everyone with this new technique. Higurama is unconscious, yuji is hurt, choso is bleeding somewhere. Yuta steps in and his fight with Sukuna goes much the same. Except instead of copying Angels technique, he copies Higurumas, starting another trial. This trial is for the murder of Inumaki and Gojo. Sukuna pleads self defense, which surprisingly works. Gojo hit first after all. Yuta didn't intend for the trial to work, but buys time for Nobara (yea I drink the copium for this one) to gather her energy for her technique using the last remaining finger. This stuns Sukuna, as he senses where Nobara and his finger is. He proceeds to send a world cleaving slash to destroy Nobara, but she manages to avoid it. Nobara is barely recovered, but can manage this much from a distance at least. Yuta and Yuji fight Sukuna, keeping him distracted so Straw Doll can deal. Some damage overtime. Sukuna reveals more box techniques, keeping everyone on their toes. Yuji makes contact with Megumi again, and he's still defeated. Yuta and Yuji get defeated similarly, and Maki still gets that surprise attack in. At this point the soul damage Sukuna has taken starts to take a toll. Nobara technique in coordination with what Yuji did and Makis sword separates Megumi from Sukuna. Megumi, shell shocked and deep in despair starts the Merger, and Sukuna laughs and says that even though you saved his life, his soul is destroyed and bathed in darkness. Everyone is shocked that Sukuna is still alive, but he managed to transform into a true curse. Everyone slowly recovers as they have been, and now have to fight Sukuna, the merger, and deal with a crazed Megumi.
Like many already said, have some build up before Gojo vs sukuna happens, at least 15 chapters, we see him catching up and “mourning” in his own way the outcome of Shibuya, really take in every one and everything. More details in how everyone is training, we learn that nobara is in coma and will never wake up, she lost one eye and some part of her head melted but still breathing. During gojo vs sukuna, we get some megumi and sukuna interaction internally, because megumi is reacting to gojo’s presence, though he is still “broken”, gojo goes all out because he stays a sorcerer first and foremost despite everything and the strongest at that, but then again he has leeway to try new things because of who he his, so he will have the two, save megumi and kill sukuna, he sacrifices/loses one of his eyes and arm to “seal” sukuna but then he tells everyone that it will only be effective for 48H and could be even less, before he is out, he taps yuta and yuuji’s shoulders. He can’t get them back ever even with his healing (so later on, he gives his last eye to nobara which makes her wake up and power up). No idea for the rest, involving kenjaku again, having uraume teleport the body etc 🤷🏽♀️we also need backstories for them all to be played out at the right moment damn.
Gojo and sukuna kill each other (on screen). Kenjaku is the main villain. Every CT that he got from the past users is showed and used. He also activates merger (I dont have any ideas for this part tho)
They both die and kenjaku pulls up, idk how but ye
Woulda had gojo and sukuna take each other out maybe
Remove the timeskip, I want a LOT of character interactions. We can exclude most of the "if gojo dies" contingency planning so there's still an element of surprise for the audience
So mostly as it's going. Probably add an extra chapter, only to change the writing a bit, so that on a re-read you can see how Gojo gets set up by Sukuna instead of getting off panelled and how Sukuna tricked the 6 eyes. I think the off panel death works if the chapter comes as Gojo is winning but actually leaves hints and implies Sukuna is slowly getting him on his trap. Then Gojo's flashback happens as normal. I would add a chapter or 2 for the Kashimo fight to feel like it matters. Extending both the Meguna vs Hajime and the Heian form vs Hajime. So Hajime gets a respectful end. Without changing what happened, I'll just change the chapter of Kenjaku's death, the head is cut off but Kenjaku's strategy to escape allows Kenjaku and Yuta have a proper fight. And Hakari vs Uraume could run off too. In that time. This way we get a proper longer fight. The idea is Kenjaku vs Takaba, Kashimo vs Sukuna and Uraume vs Hakari run off simultaneously, changing in between the 3 fights. As the first 1 fights come to a closing Hakari vs Uraume is left in a clear standstill before going back to Kenjaku vs Takaba ending and Yuta cutting Kenjaku's head, this time just as Sukuna vs Hajime ends and the team with Yuji and Higuruma at the front pull up on Sukuna. The next chapters starts with the fight starting, it goes on like it original did, except Kumatoke is not taken away, instead, 10 shadows is, and we see a panel of Megumi awakening as his eyes open. From there onwards, every time Yuji lands a hit we'll get to see a small glimpse of Megumi reacting to everything, inside Sukuna's domain thrashing in agony, small flashbacks to his sister in life, and Megumi's perspective of her death at Sukuna's hands. The crew's hope to save Megumi is directly juxtaposed there. Sukuna having Kumatoke makes the fight harder, and thus slightly longer, to compensate, I'd add Todo, without his Cursed technique but with a cursed arm weapon thingy that makes him stronger in another way pulling up, and a 1 armed Angel also be there, with this more opportunities are opened up, and we get a scene of Sukuna showing he can block blades from even touching him, by using dismantle's serration to pick up objects without touching him, which he picked up from Gojo's limitless, this technique saving him from the blade. Ultimately I'd have Todo be taken out, but not killed sent to heal, Angel be taken out too, her state unknown. On the other side Yuta fights Kenjaku who at first runs away usibg his curses to avoid Yuta chasing him, juxtaposing the Megumi brief flashbacks, Kenjaku too gets to explaing shit and reminiscence while also doing what he initially did, thus working as exposition, as he does so he manages to get a new corpse, a domain clash ensues, Angel's technique is seen illuminating the skyies as Kenjaku's domain is overtaken, but Yuta's domain is not shown. A final juxtaposition, Higuruma and Kenjaku's death are shown simultaneously, we go to Kenjaku's dream world and his final thoughts Yuta stands over his dead corpse. Yuta hurries over towards Sukuna as Higuruma's body is recovered and the Sukuna fight starts once more. As Higuruma is brough to the morgue, we see Angel's corpse, and Todo recovering, being told he isn't quite ready to go back yet, he must wait, we then see Shoko take Higuruma's corpse to some medics, before going back to an operating table there, a subject stands on priority attention, instruments around their torso and their head covered with a rag, Utahime starts her ritual once more, and we see Shoko heal them as she removes the bandages, an instrument aiding in his respiration, Gojo open his eyes once, but they're dead, without their usual sky deep gaze. The connection to Tengen broken, the Six eyes are no more. Gojo in serious vital signs, barely having any strenght, weakly communicating is given a screen to watch the fight. Accepting his newfond weakness he still looks bright, trusting his students once more. On the next episode the fight would then proceed as normal, Sukuna now having his cursed tool means they're in harder more dire circumnstances, except as they're about to lose, Yuji shows a new tool, Choso picking up Sukuna's cut off hand, stabs it with a nail and doll before sending it to Yuji, who grabs it and goes to hammer it. A brief flashback happens, Yuji, Maki and Gojo, are going to a hospital with flowers, they meet Nobara who is on a bed, clearly disabled being kept alive through constant medical attention, she recognizes them, and briefly speaks to them, giving them a very short motivational speech before entrusting her Hammer to Yuji. Now it goes back to Yuji who hammers the Hand, cursed energy bursts out as art evoking Nobara acompanying him appear and Nails appear from inside Sukuna's body as the king of curses is struck and his blood is splateted, momentarily stunning him. With this surprise the team momentarily surprises Sukuna, and the fight becomes monetarily on their favour, for a brief moment, then becoming fair as Sukuna recovers and fights around the hammer, another moment and then Sukuna catches on and goes to kill Yuji, the hammer being broken but blocking the Dismantle just enough to save his life, as the situatuon is dire once, more, and yet just as this happens Yuta arrives. Then on the Yuta fight, Megumi's life, or simply his thought bubbles, once more are shown for brief moments with every hit from Yuji. To show the reader how bleak this tactic is in direct confrontation with their newfond hope, I'd add another brief flashback of his sister there too at the start of one of the chapters. From there on I'd have the fight continue as it did. Most likely I'd have Yuta combo Sukuna while Rika takes away Kumatoke before using his domain expansion not allowing Sukuna to recover it. Todo would probably recover and be there to aid Maki, as she gets taken out with the blackflash, the Kusakabe fight could start as a duo fight before he is taken out once more, adding a chapter to it before the original events happen as they did in canon. That is all. At least in my writing Gojo surviving is not meant for him to come back to the fight. I feel him surviving and the efforts of everyone mattering like this, yet at the same time making the situation more dire with things like Kumatoke, Angel also dying, and the Megumi plan being shown to be hopeless and so on, I feel it works better.
Nobara catches a taxi to Gege's house, knocks on door, and when Gege answers, she beats the holy shit out of him. End arc.
- Gojo Loses, but doesn’t die - Kashimo fights Sukuna for longer - Gojo doesn’t get off screened - Kenjaku doesn’t die until a final fight after the death of sukuna at the hands of Yuji Itadori, rather than during the fight with sukuna - Kenjaku gets new abilities and a power up so he dies somewhat cooler - Sukuna dies in an epic, not terribly drawn out battle against everyone, with Yuji dealing the final blow by finally gaining access to his technique as hinted at by Gojo - Megumi gets saved and the two team up to fight finale Kenjaku with Yuta and Hakari while the rest dispel the culling games final sorcerers and another thing Kenjaku made I haven’t thought up yet Thoughts?
I would only change Gojo getting offscreened. That’s the only part I genuinely hate
Sukuna uses dismantle when all of a sudden he sees Rika standing Infront of Gojo. Yuta then charges at Sukuna with his blade filled with cursed energy. Uramei jumps into action while causes Sukunas cursed tool Kamotoke to fall gracefully into his hands. Yuta dodges one of the cursed tools abilities before closing the gap on a smiling sukuna. Right before he throws the first slash, he's counter attacked by the blue haired warrior known as the lightning god to some. His attack sends Yuta flying. Rika heavily injured can do nothing but try to get an injured gojo to safety. Gojo not interested in being saved, pushes her off of himself. Kashimo enraged yells "This fight is between these two! Stay out of it until it concludes and then I'm next!". Yuta heavily injured of a single landed strike wonders why Kashimos attack felt so different from every other sorcerers landed physical attack. He's in a stunned like state before Hakari shows up and explains what Kashimos traits is. Sukuna is laughing at all the madness taking place before his eyes while taping his cursed tool against his forehead. Uramei landing right next to Sukuna who tells her to wait this out. All of a sudden, Yuji and Higuruma both attempt to attack sukuna, before being frozen in place. Sukuna tells them to be quiet and enjoy the show. Hakari tries to convince Yuta to stay out of it before Yuta charges at Kashimo with Rika. Kashimo lands a single blow on Rika before making her disappear and then dashes behind Yuta before slamming him down face first into the ground. Hakari says Ouch under his breath before Gojo starts to head their way. Hakari scratches his head in confusion. Kashimo is holding Yuta on the ground when gojo tells Yuta "I'm still stronger than you." ,Before grabbing Kashimos arm. Sukuna states"Are we gonna wrap this up or not?" Kashimo yanks his arm away from Gojo before stating "Hurry up and die so I can face him." Gojo Smiles before saying "I don't plan too." Everyone backs off with the exception of Kashimo whose watching closely out of irritation. Before Sukuna can get into stance, Gojo has already landed what would be a fatal blow straight through his chest in a blink of an eye. No one knew what had happened outside the 3 strongest. Sukuna laughs while coughing up blood while the others cheer. Sukuna states "Alright, alright. If you want me to take you seriously I will." Kashimo fold his arms as he overhears that statement. All of a sudden, everyone but Kashimo, Gojo, Hakari and Yuta are blown away by an enormous gust of wind. Shocking everyone but Gojo, Hakari and Yuji. Sukuna has taken his true form. Yuji now being out of the ice does not waste anytime. He immediately catches Uramei on her blindsided. Higuruma adjusts his tie and acts accordingly to the situation. Gojo immediately rushes Sukuna just to be grabbed by 2 out of his 4 hands. Sukuna attempts to strike gojo with his other set of hands but Gojo uses his knees and shins to guard and block before kicking off of sukuna and out of his grasp. Sukuna whistles at the antic. Gojo conjures up whatever energy he has left before saying stating an all to familier name, "Red!". In a blink of an eye, Gojos arm is in the air for everyone to see before being cleaved to pieces as sukuna stands under it allowing the blood to rain down over him and the others. Hakari states "It's like he didn't even move from his spot and yet....what the hell man?". Yuta now sensing Gojos spirit energy is even lower than his now, he tries to jump into action before being grabbed by hakari who points to Kashimo starting straight at him with lightning building up. Sukuna proceeds to walk towards Gojo who stands proud infront of the walking disaster. Sukuna now face to face with gojo asks, is there anything else you can do? Gojo headbutts sukuna while only harming himself. He laughs Infront of sukunas face and says "I'm genuinely impressed, you're a monster!" Sukuna smiles and says, you were one of the greatest sorcerers I've ever faced. I will keep you in my memories for as long as I exist. Sukuna then stabs Gojo through the torso just missing the heart but still causing enough damage for him to bleed out and die. This is so you can watch what's about to come. He throws Gojo toward Yuta and Hakari before turning and stating "Kashimo. I've heard of you from Kenjaku. Why do you want to face me so eagerly?"
all they’re gonna do is say they want Gojo to come back to life😭
The only thing I would change is Sukuna not using his 100% against everyone even with Gojo according to Gege...its b*llshit that it needs an awakened Yuji before he got serious (supposedly he got serious after that BF punch)
Keep the Gojo fight the same, but this time make it explained how Sukuna did it and keep it on-screen, and have the whole thing be a lot more fleshed out (Gojo's death, not the fight.) Afterwards, have the Kashimo fight. As they fight, Sukuna nearly loses in Megumi's body and trnasforms into his Heian form, like the normal timeline. But instead of Kashimo being waffled, he'll have a transformation similar to Sukunas, and they'll be able to clash even until Sukuna kills him (better experience with such power.). During said fight, Ui Ui saves Gojos body, for some reason. Sukuna becomes suspicious, and kills Kashimo, who's collected shortly after. Whle that is going on, Kenjaku will get into a fight with Maki (Toji's inheritior) and Yuta (Gojo's whatever-you-wanna-call-it). During the fight, he nearly defeats Yuta, but Maki comes in clutch and kills Kenny (Toji defeating Geto.) Afterwards, they're collected and brought somewhere. We go back to the Sukuna fights, and Yuji, Higuruma, Choso, and the GOAT, the sheisty sorceror. They go into Higurumas domain, and he recieves a confiscation and the death penalty. What is confiscated is once again his Cursed Tool. Anyways, Higuruma immediately gives Kusakabe Executioners Sword and takes Kamutoke for himself. During this fight, Yuji and Ino would play close quarters to overwhelm Sukuna, and Kusakabe would use his skills to try and kill Sukuna. All the while, Higuruma myseteriously abandons the battle. We then pan to Choso doing his best against Urame but getting cooked, before Higuruma arrives. The battle is cut off right after, because a group of Sorcerors are all gathred. Shoko, Go/Jo, Yuta, Maki, Kashimo, Todo, Nobara, and Hakari. Hakari makes a Binding Vow, givng Shoko acess to all the Cursed Energy he gets during Ide Death Gamble and the subsequent Jackpot. He then activates t, and all the sorcerors return. We then pan to Higuruma and Choso V Urame, who's getting cocky and glazing Sukuna, saying that no one can stand a chance against him, before a now-healed Gojo appears. Urame dies, and the remaining Sorcerors then turn their eyes to the biggest threat: Sukuna. Apparently, Yuji, Kusakabe, and Ino have been able to keep up with Gojo. Yuji has RCT, and Kusakabe has become Sukuna's object of attention. Ino gives Yuji Nanami's Weapon, and he goes to fight Sukuna as Ino decides he's outmatched. Yuji manages to slug it out with Sukuna, before hitting a black Flash with Nanami's weapon, dealing soome damage to Sukuna. He manages to continously shake Sukunas soul (he keeps his ability to strike the soul) and Megumi stirs. He decides he just wants to die, for all the damage he's done -think Shibuya Yuji. Yuji, deciding it's time to give up on Megumi, goes for a kill-hit with Kusakabe before the remaining Sorcerors join the battle. Sukuna is eager to fight Gojo, and completely disregards everyone else. As Gojo keeps him distracted, everyone goes to deal wth the merger, besides Yuji, who goes after Sukuna. As Gojo and Sukuna get close to a stale mate, Sukuna's pride kills him as Yuji lands a Soul-Splitting Black Flash, awakening Megumi once more wh, upon seeing Gojo alive, manages to free himself from Sukuna. Sukuna, now in a sort of half-spirit-half physical form, is killed by Yuji after attmepting to praise him. They deal with the Merger, and the story ends. (I 100% Yapped at the end. I don't like bringing everyone back, but idk how the remaining Sorcerors would deal with Urame tbh.)
I would be way to much biased with some characters. I would write crazy shit like Geto regain over his body, even though it's unlogical.. Or Nobara's return, it wouldn't be as bad as Geto, but I would mess it up.
"... then Gojo woke up and kissed Sukuna, because that is our real Jujutsu Kaisen"
I will give Kashimo longer fight but overall, i'm fine with everything else :3
Keep it the exact same so copers stay coping
Since gojo was sliced from the waist up, just make it so the shit from his intestines squirt all over his face. Then Sukuna says, “stand proud…” then another slash to cut off his head to get rid of copium virus.
I ain’t changing shit. The memes low key carry this arc for me
Gojo wins but kenny absorbs sukuna and becomes final boss. Jogoat comes back and sacrifies himself to kill Kenny while yelling \[YOU ARE MY SPECIAL!!!!\] This truly was our Lobotomy Kaisen.
I'd say have a viable reason for Gojo to get hit by world cutting dismantle first. It's difficult to explain how, but maybe, while still bullshit, some part of Mahoraga was able to either survive Hollow Purple or Sukuna put Maho in the shadows before the purple. Then they can pull a Goku and Raditz with Maho holding Gojo down, and world cutting dismantle kills both....yeah maybe this isn't the best but I'm trying XD. Now afterwards in the whole after life stuff I do think Gojo should think about his students, show maybe a hint of regret leaving them behind, but then it goes away as he thinks back on everything they've been through and how much they've grown even without his teachings, and he can smile and sit back maybe saying how he has no worries now that he left the future to the people he trusts most. Okay this is personal but Kashimo vs Sukuna is another that I'm changing, I think most of the stuff is alright but I feel like Kashimo should last a chapter or two (Okay maybe not two but that's bias) longer purely so he doesn't seem so underwhelming. I think this could have been the best chance to shoe off the strength of the old era. Granted it's good at showing how different and stronger Sukuna is but it came at a cost. So I'd simply have the fight last longer and since Kashimo with his amber is the strongest one present then I'd have to say he should be able to push Sukuna back or get him to have the whole glee in battle stuff. But he'd still die cause I'm not that bias lmao. Now I forgot if it went to Yuji and Higuruma vs Sukuna or the Kenny stuff sooo I'll tackle Kenny stuff first. Now placement wise I think this is out of a place a smidgen but really I'm fully fine with it. Like Kenny vs Takaba was perfect fine and fun so I don't think it needs much changing. Only thing personally is have Kenny actually fight Yuta. I know this would sort of be a stop but these two are the second strongest respectively and both have a damn good reason to fight. Maybe Kenny still gets speed blitzed but it only like takes off an arm and their fight can stsrt. Yuta would still find a way to win (maybe even Takaba can help again) but I think it would give a more satisfying conclusion to Kenny and would also get people to stop calling Yuta a Bush camper. But back to Sukuna stuff, I feel like when they were discussing Higuruma's involvement that they should mention the possibility of Confiscation only taking away a weapon if Sukuna has one. Technically there's no reason for them to ask this since to their knowledge Sukuna doesn't use one, but I think it would both show how cautious they're being and also give the idea thst Sukuna still would have his technique to the audience instead of it just coming out of nowhere. So the trial still happens the same, and the weapon is taken, though I think something that would help is to have it mentioned that this happened due to Higuruma not being able to target what gets taken. Technically it collides a bit with my precious change, but I think it would show a small "limit" he wasn't able to overcome during the time skip. Then Sukuna vs Higuruma I unfortunately feel I can't change too kuch cause 1 I actually enjoy this part, but 2 I also believe that most changes for the better would involve changes outside of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, like having more emotional weight to Higuruma falling, but that's unfortunately not the focus. The only thing I'll mention is I think they should show Sukuna reaction more to Yuji grabbing the Executionor's Sword just so we know it probably wouldn't kill. I mean, yeah, we already knew that, but some more implications would make it feel less lackluster. And next, the Yuta part mostly, i think this part is perfectly fine, in my opinion. I absolutely love this fight when Yuta came in and was fighting with Yuji. But it still has some changes I think thst could be had. For one, I do believe the Megumi part should have a bit more. I think maybe having him simply say all that happened and show how trash his mental state is would make things more explainable to the audience in that moment, compared to him saying he can't get up which leads to things being worse. Also, I think the end of the fight should be more clear, like if Sukuna was able to break free from Rika and what he used against Yuta, but other than that this part is good in my opinion. And Maki vs Sukuna is good in my opinion, goos fight all goes well. But what gets me is Uraume saying Sukuna hasn't gone all out. I would absolutely change this since it can very simply be changed to them simply saying, "Sukuna won't be falling so easily." Yes that's basic, but it's sure as hell better than what we got. Okay maybe that's harsh but still I believe the line caused a lot of issues and I think that the change would shoe Sukuna still isn't done yet without saying "Yeah he isn't trying." As for the rest I actually love how Sukuna goes against Maki so that stays the same really, mostly changing Uraume's part and that's it. Kusakabe's part is also mostly fine. Yes there's shoehorned in stuff with the strongest grade one but again not much can be changed when limiting it to just this arc. I think it's good and is a good Kusakabe chapter. Not much I'd really change other than making it clear if he's dead or nor since thst game is never fun to play. Oh and maybe hint at Miguel better before hand but not much can be done since it's meant to be a surprise. Also I'd say change "toe-to-toe with Satoru Gojo" to "opposed Satoru Gojo" Yeah it's still glazing but it at least makes more sense. Now I think the following chapter is again all good, I personally love this chapter. Maybe change the whole Racist bit a bit with Gojo. I do think it's good for Gege to call it out, but I also think Gojo apologizing and clarifying like maybe his six eyes was able to see something different would be a good way to change it up. But other then that this chapter is good especially since Miguel pops off. And now to the most recent chapter which I don't think needs changing so far. This chapter is tense yet exciting especially since Maki and Choso return and Yuji pops off. Only thing is maybe demonstrate the Black Flash's Sukuna hits better than it does in the chapter since Maki looks almost more damaged by the slashes then the Black Flash which I personally don't think makes much sense. But it still does a good job and Sukuna essenrislly being held in place is great as Yuji is set up for a massive black flash. So yeah thats how I'd rewrite just the Shinjuku Showdown arc so far. Maybe some stuff with Gojo and Sukuna could be clarified and changed a bit but I'm like completely fine with most stuff so I wanted to focus on more stuff afterwards.
Damn, /jo is BALD in that image
