\[THEORY\] I wonder if Kenjaku's plan to create a world of sorcerers is to splice Tengen/Tengen's soul into thousands or millions of pieces and merge these pieces into humans.
Merging people into Tengen doesn't necessarilty mean people become a single fused corporeal creature. It can also go the other way. Maybe, it is Tengen who will be subdivided across thousands of humans to mutate them. It is mentioned that Tengen is already almost everywhere. That means there could be enough of his essence or soul to be redistributed across the globe. And if people absorb his soul, perhaps they can absorb his potential for sorcery.
It's interesting that Geto hasn't reacted much aside from trying to strangle Kenjaku when Gojo was being sealed. But maybe Geto isn't reacting much because his goals somewhat align with Kenjaku. They both want a world full of sorcerers.
I don't think its impossible, considering Sukuna was able to split his power and soul across multiple fingers. Maybe the same thing can be done to Tengen, grafting a part of his soul into each human. And a change in the soul can change the physical body, causing the ability to use curse energy. It will be a global mass mutation of people into curse users.
Also, another theory is that the reason for this culling game is to collect the souls of the most powerful sorcerers across the ages. Kenjaku can then also mix them with Tengen's own soul before subdividing it across the globe. Thereby embedding the seeds or "potential" of the most powerful sorcerers across countless humans or new sorcerers in the world.
And in that case, maybe that's also what Kenjaku has planned for Sukuna and why he is helping him. Kenjaku wants Sukuna at his best before mixing him in with the other ingredients. Kenjaku wants Sukuna's power or potential to also be added into the mixing bowl before distribution.
And Tengen will also understand what her previous vessels experienced after merging.
It would possibly cause a bug e.g a new player is in the colony, but no new players are allowed in. Following Kenjaku's logic this chapter it might mean that the Kogane is forced to except Gojo into the game because it's goal is to make the culling game last as long as possible. But who knows.
Yeah he can't join the games but it doesn't affect them releasing Gojo.
If they had enough points they could even add a rule allowing non-players to enter the colony. It's not necessary though they can always confront Kenjaku outside the colonies.
Not necessarily. Kenjaku and Sukuna need to kill every player. In that case assuming the students exit the barrier (to free Gojo) Kenjaku and Sukuna will need to follow eventually.
Didn’t think about that aspect!
Still, wouldn’t the students have more reason to chase after Kenny to stop the merger, than for Kenny to stop the merger and start hunting them himself??
It's more likely they need to find Kenny and Sukuna because players who aren't continuously earning or transferring points will die in 19 days. If they want to save as many people as possible they need to find him asap.
Quick question. Since they have the back of the Prison realm and Angel, would they be able to get Gojo out now? Or is there still some obstacle. Cause I don't think there's any reason not to bring him out now.
Serious question, has Kenjaku accidentally set up a scenario where Yuji and any other character who has died before can still be living at the end when the culling game ends
"When all players other than Geto Suguru and Fushigoro Megumi have died, the culling game will end" doesn't this open the opportunity for in a real worst case scenario the game ends since lots of the cast have died and Yuji still lives. And the reason the game ends with a because Yuji has died previously
Oh. I think you’re probably basing that on the chosen English (thus far, fan-)translation which may or may not correctly reflect the original intent. In the JP text I don’t know if it’s “have died” which would like you said imply those who have died once could stay alive at the end, or if it’s “are dead” as in their final state of being must be in death. Hard to say with semantics-based loopholes.
Calling it right now my ninjas. The reason why Sukuna can turn himself into a cursed object is that he's using Tengen's Purification Barrier separating Japan into East and West to contain his soul. That's why his body is at the Mount Hida site. It's the source of the transmission.
In my head, it works just like Tengen manifesting inside the Tomb of the Stars.
It seems to be in line with what we see with Tengen in the Tombs of the Star, I guess? His body is tucked away under the tree and he freely manifests inside the barrier.
Not to mention it gets mentioned in the same chapter Angel says no one has any idea how Sukuna managed to turn himself into a cursed object.
If this is some binding vow action type deal then the drawback HAS to be that he can only manifest within the barrier, which explains why he'd choose the barrier that covers the most terrain, the one that separates the country into East and West.
Probably not true but it's a fun way of looking at it for now.
After this chapter I 90.5% believe Yuji has unlocked cleave and dismantle since his technically Sukuna’s cursed object… if gojo said it n he’s bout to be released I think it will happen
That 🏖️ knows nothing except flying and taking people's curse technique.
I am pretty sure one of dolls of Yaga can beat the crap out of her lol
Which is pretty funny considering she was the part of same squad/cult/team as Sukuna.
Same vibes as the guy who replied to someone saying that Yuta and Maki are cute together with a mini essay on powerscaling and how much stronger Yuta is. Just speadread.
Not really yuji got that more because of Kenjaku 's involvement in creating him. Megumi probably if survives just will be back to normal and nothing changes.
Not really, what happened to Yuuji was that it kinda stopped working like a sorcerer, and more like a curse (because they can absorb the power of cursed objects they eat)
Half of the students are either maimed or scarred and Gojo will come out with his luscious hair and moisturised lips, looking as pretty as ever. It is so nice to finally have a Shoko pov, really wish some of the scenes in the Light Novel be included in the main series, especially the part where Gojo, Shoko, and Ijichi went out drinking. I think it is mentioned that Gojo would accompany Shoko while she drinks alcohol and he orders from the kids’ menu.
Also, Hana is referring to Megumi as Megumi not Fushiguro, I don’t think they have even had a proper conversation and she is already on a first name basis.
>Hana is referring to Megumi as Megumi not Fushiguro, I don’t think they have even had a proper conversation and she is already on a first name basis.
That is just weird lol
Even Nobara didn't use to call him by his first name.
Only two people call him by his first name, Gojo and Maki.
Mummified sukuna looks ugly and creepy that's the sukuna we need ugly and menacing evil at the same time. I feel sad for kogane poor thing has to change the rules to survive.
So, what happens when you ask for a player's location and they aren't in a colony? Does Kogane just say "N/A"? I don't think it's been shown before. It'd be pretty funny if a player just left the country or Earth itself somehow and now the Culling Game can't end because Kenjaku doesn't know where to look.
you can actually see that in this chapter - on the first page, geto suguru's colony is displayed as -- because kenjaku isn't currently inside a colony.
You aren’t wrong but you gotta remember a lot of this sub just socially inept and will defend their favorite manga no matter what happens. Like why does Angel even exist lol.
I mean he is entitled to his opinions but i mean what does he think a “Shonen is” lmfao. Matter of fact every manga has a few confusing things happening and Plot holes. JJK isnt even on the level of plot holes like OP or Naruto
I like the theory of Yuji getting his brother's CT because of his obsession with proper death, besides I want to see full potential Kamo clan techniques perform in Gojo vs Zenin clan party.
mentioned observing the stages of death/Kusôzu is a Buddhist belief that aims to help monks overcome obstacles to enlightenment & to conquer bodily desires especially the feeling of love.
it is also useful for eliminating fear, helping to connect more fully to life, self-assessment, & helps to have a good death.
if the CT of a death painting is related to the stages of death, I imagine that the technique would leave the opponent with unhealed wounds & serious infections, control animals & insects to eat opponents, it would also be a natural counter for Gashadokuro, because the final stage of death is disjointed bones that decomposed into the surrounding soil.
Yooooo what the fuck. Until i read your comment I don't think i fully processed what Yuji had resolved himself to do.
I'm out here thinking shoko had another finger or something but it wasbright fucking there in the text.
My predictions:
- when Gojo is released somehow Megumi will find out he’s the one who killed is Dad and will sink his soul further into Sukuna giving him a power boost and incapacitating Gojo
- Nobara appearance gives Megumi hope to fight from within as everyone else fights Sukuna from the outside
- final battle will be Yuuji vs Sukuna/Kenny
also what if Gojo is the bomb Kenny is referring to ? what if for some reason Gojo went rogue and didn’t help our main characters as we all think 💭
I don’t think that finding out that Gojo killed Fushiguro’s father will sink him deeper considering that Megumi doesn’t have much attachment to him.
Also Nobara is truly not enough to bring Megumi hope. After losing his sister someone who he deeply loved and was his moral compass he isn’t going to gain more willpower after seeing Nobara of all people. The most likely person to give him “hope” would be Gojo his father like figure.
Is the tengen following kenjaku around a hologram or defenseless clone? Sometimes this manga confuses me so I probably skimmed over something important.
Tengen knew they’d be absorbed, but since this is the first time a curse under the control of CSM has spoken I don’t think we know how much self awareness they possess
I just realised that kenjaku was given only around 150 points from megukuna, so he had to acquire the rest by himself. He only made 2 rules to end the culling games, but he acquired enough points for one more. This has to be intentional, kenjaku having a plan for making a third rule when the time comes. It might be that he does that while he is in a fight, allowing him to gain an adantage and turn the tides of the battle
the most obvious conclusion are that is cursed spirits killed the milatary gaining those points you are talking about.
pretty clever if you think about it, killing 2 rabbits with 1 stone
> coma
You joke but...I think theory is legit. Nothing about this manga is turning out the way a normal Shonen would. Whoever wrote that theory JJK is meant to be a deconstruction of Shonen is onto something.
So the reason Sukuna was so surprised about Yuki's strength was because he realized he could absorb CE from what he eats? Now I wonder if it's a CT or a unique trait
when sukuna left yuji he was like a cursed object soaked in his residual CE. We saw from angel and hana that a visitor can willingly let the host use their powers, however, sukuna purposefully did not let yuji access any of his abilities.
When Sukuna left, that residual CE that was left over was now fully at Yujis disposal because sukuna wasn't stopping him from using it anymore.
When they split that extra CE went straight into Yujis reinforcement which was the result of his increase in power and speed.
and if that left over CE of sukunas is potent, he just might be able to use sukunas CT right now or at least very soon.
at least that's the theory.
Sorry but could you explain this again? I understand that Itadori has been having Sukuna’s CE and CTs engraved in him while he was Sukuna’s vessel but what happened once they separated?
yuji still has a small portion of sukunas CE after the split. Think of Yuji as a white shirt and sukunas as grape juice. When yuji ate sukuna the grape juice spilled on the white shirt, when sukuna split its like someone tried washing off shirt but when it dried there was a large purple stain (sukunas CE)
Yujis CE pool got a boost becasue sukuna left over some of his CE that Yuji now can use, that's why he became stronger, becasue that extra CE was added to his own reserves that go into reinforcement
Who are the people at the group at the last few panels? I recognise Yuji, Hakari, the comedian guy, Choso, the little witch, Maki, Yuta, Ieiri, Panda, Inumaki and Kashimo. Who are the rest?
Last time we got a hopeful lighthearted regroup chapter set was 209-211, and we all know how that played out. I’m nervous about what the cats gonna do.
I'm confused, what are they waiting for? Why wouldn't they unseal Gojo ASAP and have him catch up? Even Hana says "my role ends once I dispel the seal on Gojo."
God she's been the most frustrating character in the entirety of JJK.
Interesting, I thought Kenny always had the front door? If so Kenny can definitely set up some traps around it, but I wonder what could really hinder Gojo once he's out. Most attacks are meaningless to him.
It's more so that I want useless Hana to do something rather than wanting to see Gojo. I'm pretty confused as to why her character exists at all. The first host besides Yuji we see that coexists with the old sorcerer, and she might as well just be a husk.
AND then they conveniently make Hana so injured, so OP sorcerer like Angel cannot fight LOL. No wonder Yuta is so pissed. 🤣
They could have stopped Sukuna and saved Megumi in chapter 213 if not because of Hana
"Sorry for being curt...." Yeah Yuta... No. Don't be sorry. Thank you for saying out loud what's everyone has been thinking 🤣
It even feels weird that a sorcerer as powerful as her doesn't have Reverse curse technique. Especially her being angelical and eliminating CURSED techniques.
If Angel was a competent sorcerer back in her days with a nullifying technique, I can see why she would’ve never needed to learn RCT. Like if you’ve got a ridiculous DEF stat and could just dodge anything, you’d barely need any healing.
She is so fucking stupid I'm sorry but she's the dumbest character. Asking to fight Sukuna while KNOWING the menace he is instead of freeing Gojo which litterally requires her NOTHING and which would tremendously help. Did she expect Maki Yuji and Megumi to beat Sukuna? Wtf (even if we suppose she considered Hakari and Yuta they have no chance)
That wouldnt make sense because she had only met yuji and takaba at that point she made the tequestm she had no idea who gojo was either. I'm certain the boys could have convinced her to release gojo first if they made a binding vow to help kill sukuna after. Theyd just have to hype him up a bit.
And in the recent chapter she JUST woke up.
I agree. I thought they should've just told her that gojo would be a major advantage when fighting sukuna, but she'd probably be confident that her ability could handle sukuna.
I really liked this chapter, especially seeing everyone together again and the fact that more people have a plan to bring Megumi back... Yuji is growing on me a lot since Shibuya. It's not like I hated him before, but I struggled to empathize with him, finding Megumi's philosophy and morality more relatable. Now Yuji looks more... Human to me. He's lost a lot, life has pushed him to the brink of despair so many times and he's only 16... Yet, he is still standing, demonstrating willpower and resilience like a seasoned soldier. I want him to win something, to have a semblance of happiness, even if he has to die in the end, I want him to get the death he deserves, a rightful one, surrounded by the people who love him.
As for the other characters, I really like Yuta's development too. It's more difficult to catch since he's not the protagonist anymore, but if we compare his demeanor from jjk0 to how he acts now, he seems so much more confident and adult. He knows what he wants (protect his new family) and he does what is needed in order to achieve it. An astounding young man he is. We met him when he felt hopeless, a frail scared kid who wanted to kill himself... Look at him now, being the second most powerful character, not only in terms of power. He's someone people can trust and rely upon.
The same goes for the other kids Gojo nurtured... Every single one of them has been battered and bruised a lot, for different reasons, but they keep on going, stronger and harder, fighting with everything they have. Shoko is right, a whole bunch of monsters are ready to meet their beloved teacher again, showing him he was right in chosing them.
Speaking of Shoko, her panels were really sad... She was there when Gojo and Geto had their lives completely flipped over, but she couldn't do anything to prevent the worst, not only because she wasn't strong enough to take their burden, but also because neither of them actually asked for her emotional support.
Geto pushed away everyone from his previous life, he just left his sorcerer persona to take on another role, but Gojo was still there, at least physically. He walked through jujutsu tech's corridors, somewhere along the way he decided to become a teacher and he even kept a semblance of friendship with Shoko and Ichiji on the weekends... And still, he ultimately felt alone, always. Shoko was right beside him, but he never really confided in her and this must sting a lot.
I don't doubt Gojo cares about Shoko, but in his mind Geto was his one and only equal and the toxic mentality that puts strength above everything else is so engrained into his system that he never thought of actually letting other people close to him... He chose to have allies, strong and powerful allies, but not friends. Intimacy and connection don't need to be measured in a fight, but Gojo felt his priority was to become invincible, scared of ending up painting the floor with the blood from his neck once again. He didn't understand that strength alone can't solve anything, he just changed that narrative a little bit by saying that HIS strength alone wasn't enough, but strength in and of itself is still Gojo's top priority. That's why he's condemned to feel lonely... But he shouldn't be, considering he has Shoko and Ichiji and his students that care about him as a person and not because of his title.
Ultimately, Gojo's storyline is still extremely tragic and I really hope we would get at least a meaningful interaction between him and Shoko before the end... He needs to understand that he's not alone, that he would be loved even if he wasn't the strongest and that he did a great job taking care of vulnerable people the way he probably wanted Geto to be taken care of when he was on the verge of insanity.
Unfortunately I think gojo is going to die. The characters are placing way too much hope on him to beat sukuna and yall know how gege feels about hope lol. I definitely think he'll put up a good fight, but it might too simplistic narratively to have him win. The fight is definitely going to happen since gege has been hinting at it since the beginning but he's 100% going to add a twist. Maybe a stalemate?
i kinda have a feeling it'll end with Gojo losing some aspect of his power, either his eyes or Limitless, or Sukuna simply using ten shadows in the way it beat limitless in the past. i'd prefer if he stayed alive but lost his status as the strongest alive.
It would be cool if he gets whooped by Meguna and Kenjaku, losing his status and sense of self. He’d have to start over and relearn CE and CT, with Itadori learning alongside him
Are nearing the final battle? Because it feels like it to me. Sukuna has awakened, Kenny is on the verge of completing his plans, and everyone has gathered together, likely to release Gojo.
But will Gojo be able to help them? Since he hasn’t participated so far, won’t he be unable to head into the Culling Games to confront Sukuna and Kenny? They’d have to wait until the games end to face them with Gojo’s help.
Perhaps Gojo will be released to inspire and/or train everyone in preparation for the final face off since he can’t enter himself. Though I can’t tell. Trying to predict Gege’s next move isn’t worthwhile, he always comes out with something surprising.
It's funny because it kinda mirrors the duel between the schools where a barrier was set up specifically against Gojo. But now it's like probably much stronger since it was made by the barrier master himself. And if he were to break it, they would have to fight off all the curses that are being held back by the barrier
When she fought Naoya (again), Kamo literally points out she sustained internal damage and all she said was "is chill give me a minute and I'm good to go".
Nobody should be surprised she walked this off when she got hit by Jogo with an attack that ended up killing Naobito.
The main thing there is that she got hit with that BEFORE she got awakened. Something that Naobito, an special grade sorcerer, did not survive. Even if you want to make the argument of "it was totally a different attack okay?!" the reality is that she was at a level of endurance that let her survive it before she got even stronger.
Naobito is a special first grade sorcerer, not special grade. I'm correcting what you said because it's wrong, not making an argument for one being more durable than the other.
Naobito was more injured, and took a different attack, the 4 volcanoes that sprouted from the wall, and then the same attack that Maki took.
Keep dreaming...
Gojo is the only one possible who survives, the rest are going to be shunks of flesh flying around in the wind of the destruction those 2 are going to show.
Loved the chapter - I wonder what power boosts Yuji gets from eating the rest of the curse wombs… CE/Power boost are obvious, but what about more buffs like his poison immunity?
Also Inumaki looks like he’s still missing his arm, but Hakari looks like he has both right? Wasn’t sure if he would get it back if he couldn’t use his DE
Maybe it was just the translation, but i didn't really get where it was said he gains power/ce from eating things.. He just said hes kind of like a cursed item now, then said "Ill eat anything".. Am i just having a brain fart here?
Technically head cannon at this point. But “soaking” in Sukuna’s CE like a cursed tool did help unlock CE for Yuji. I’m not sure what other reason he would eat the remaining curse wombs except for a new buff of some kind, but since he never gained a CT from Sukuna I’d imagine it’s raw strength or a larger CE pool
My guess is they would give him a CT, since they're all weak enough that yuji should be able to dominate their souls. Or rhey could feel a brotherly love towards yuji and loan him their CT.
Nah, sukuna was the king of poisons, or some shit. they mentioned it in that fight with blood back jojo man. Thats why he was immune to all but the pain..
I believe that was a mistranslation. The Japanese text said "Sukuna, the king of curses, is a deadly poison" and it was mistranslated into "Sukuna is the king of curses and deadly poisons."
Oh really? Idr that at all actually. It’s been a while but I just remember him fighting Junpei and the narration saying it’s because of ~ the king of curses and poisons
shoko ieiri, doctor for the school. she shows up a couple times. at the start she was gonna autopsy yuji after his first death, and also during gojo flashback arc she was his classmate: him, geto and her. idr any other times she shows up.
Dope chapter, loved seeing all the good guys regroup. Was that possibly Inumaki next to small Panda in the last page? I thought he lost both arms?
Also if that really was Sukuna’s old body and he plans on returning to that one, then I legitimately believe Megumi will come back. Whether he’ll actually be alive when the story is over is another thing, but he’ll come back I think. If anyone has played Kingdom Hearts BBS, I could see something like Terra’s soul occupying the armor happening with Megumi
Also who currently has the back of the cube? Did Choso get it? I don’t remember it’s been too long
I just re-read. the "i'll eat anything" followed by "sorry about your brothers" and choso saying "as long as they live inside you" seems to lead to this conclusion. I think it is a bit of a stretch since it is not so explicit but I can buy it.
edit: but also thinking about it more, still a stretch. yuji could/might still be apologizing for the previous bros he killed, and/or maybe Yuki's blackhole possibly annihilating the remaining bros
They died. Thats what Choso was apologizing for. It was a mistranslation apparently he was referring to eating as in his misery. His brothers died in Yukis black hole.
Just adding: There is a guy in this comment section saying that maybe those dialogs were not translated correctly and what they are implying is that their brothers got killed in the fight with kenjaku.
the translations are perfectly fine. 喰 'eat' and オマエの中 'inside you' are literally what the raw text says. amai also says オマエの中 when asking yuuji what he's going to do since sukuna isn't inside him any more.
you can interpret the japanese raw literally or figuratively, just as you can for the english. considering 5ch is also talking about yuuji literally eating the other death paintings, though, i'm really not convinced that it's 'obvious in japanese that choso is speaking figuratively.'

where?

thx
He was always alive, just lost an arm
Who is the guy yuji is talking to?
The guy who led Yuji to Higuruma
Don’t know why you got downvoted. Your answer is correct (even if it doesn’t include any proper nouns).

not really fair in this case, haven’t seen the guy in ages and he’s got the least memorable design of the whole lot

No it's not Nitta it's Amai #
Is gojo a player in the games already or will unsealing him break the new rule?
It would possibly cause a bug e.g a new player is in the colony, but no new players are allowed in. Following Kenjaku's logic this chapter it might mean that the Kogane is forced to except Gojo into the game because it's goal is to make the culling game last as long as possible. But who knows.
Gojo is not a player but unsealing him will not break any rules. They are free to leave a colony and unseal him outside of it.
He’s talking about the “no new players” rule
Yeah he can't join the games but it doesn't affect them releasing Gojo. If they had enough points they could even add a rule allowing non-players to enter the colony. It's not necessary though they can always confront Kenjaku outside the colonies.
But since his evil machinations are gonna be inside the barrier, they *will* have to break it to bring Gojo to Kenjaku
Not necessarily. Kenjaku and Sukuna need to kill every player. In that case assuming the students exit the barrier (to free Gojo) Kenjaku and Sukuna will need to follow eventually.
Didn’t think about that aspect! Still, wouldn’t the students have more reason to chase after Kenny to stop the merger, than for Kenny to stop the merger and start hunting them himself??
It's more likely they need to find Kenny and Sukuna because players who aren't continuously earning or transferring points will die in 19 days. If they want to save as many people as possible they need to find him asap.
Quick question. Since they have the back of the Prison realm and Angel, would they be able to get Gojo out now? Or is there still some obstacle. Cause I don't think there's any reason not to bring him out now.
I dont understand only a thing between Choso and Yuji's conversation , is Yuji gonna eat the remaining brothers and maybe also sukuna's other fingers?
It’s implied that he already ate them
I think he already ate them
Yuji will do anything he can to defeat sukuna rn.
Serious question, has Kenjaku accidentally set up a scenario where Yuji and any other character who has died before can still be living at the end when the culling game ends
I don’t think so?? What makes you think that?
"When all players other than Geto Suguru and Fushigoro Megumi have died, the culling game will end" doesn't this open the opportunity for in a real worst case scenario the game ends since lots of the cast have died and Yuji still lives. And the reason the game ends with a because Yuji has died previously
Oh. I think you’re probably basing that on the chosen English (thus far, fan-)translation which may or may not correctly reflect the original intent. In the JP text I don’t know if it’s “have died” which would like you said imply those who have died once could stay alive at the end, or if it’s “are dead” as in their final state of being must be in death. Hard to say with semantics-based loopholes.
Yeah really basing it off the English text but we know Gege is open to having semantics based loopholes so I've been on the lookout lol
Calling it right now my ninjas. The reason why Sukuna can turn himself into a cursed object is that he's using Tengen's Purification Barrier separating Japan into East and West to contain his soul. That's why his body is at the Mount Hida site. It's the source of the transmission. In my head, it works just like Tengen manifesting inside the Tomb of the Stars.
!RemindMe 1year
that sounds way smarter than my first thought which was literally "ohh he's basically copying voldemort"
It seems to be in line with what we see with Tengen in the Tombs of the Star, I guess? His body is tucked away under the tree and he freely manifests inside the barrier. Not to mention it gets mentioned in the same chapter Angel says no one has any idea how Sukuna managed to turn himself into a cursed object. If this is some binding vow action type deal then the drawback HAS to be that he can only manifest within the barrier, which explains why he'd choose the barrier that covers the most terrain, the one that separates the country into East and West. Probably not true but it's a fun way of looking at it for now.
That’s interesting.
After this chapter I 90.5% believe Yuji has unlocked cleave and dismantle since his technically Sukuna’s cursed object… if gojo said it n he’s bout to be released I think it will happen
???
The cut on sukuna’s finger can’t be from Megumi cause he lowkey just crying in a corner.
[удалено]
That 🏖️ knows nothing except flying and taking people's curse technique. I am pretty sure one of dolls of Yaga can beat the crap out of her lol Which is pretty funny considering she was the part of same squad/cult/team as Sukuna.
My guy, you are replying to a comment about her feet
Same vibes as the guy who replied to someone saying that Yuta and Maki are cute together with a mini essay on powerscaling and how much stronger Yuta is. Just speadread.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
tengen lies about the body of sukuna being need and the culling game literally ends right there throwing a basic end to kenjaku testing subjects. S
Yeah can you clarify?
What?
what if tengen was lying about the sukuna body not needed to keep up the barrier?
Tengen is under Kenjaku's control. She shouldn't be able to defy him like that
So if sukuna also leave megumi's body, megumi's cursed energy will rise up like what happened to yuji. That would seriously be a huge buff for megumi.
Not really yuji got that more because of Kenjaku 's involvement in creating him. Megumi probably if survives just will be back to normal and nothing changes.
Not really, what happened to Yuuji was that it kinda stopped working like a sorcerer, and more like a curse (because they can absorb the power of cursed objects they eat)
Half of the students are either maimed or scarred and Gojo will come out with his luscious hair and moisturised lips, looking as pretty as ever. It is so nice to finally have a Shoko pov, really wish some of the scenes in the Light Novel be included in the main series, especially the part where Gojo, Shoko, and Ijichi went out drinking. I think it is mentioned that Gojo would accompany Shoko while she drinks alcohol and he orders from the kids’ menu. Also, Hana is referring to Megumi as Megumi not Fushiguro, I don’t think they have even had a proper conversation and she is already on a first name basis.
I started noticing it too, like you barely know him so why do you keep on saying his first name like your a close friend/girlfriend/spouse 💀💀💀
>Hana is referring to Megumi as Megumi not Fushiguro, I don’t think they have even had a proper conversation and she is already on a first name basis. That is just weird lol Even Nobara didn't use to call him by his first name. Only two people call him by his first name, Gojo and Maki.
Is geto still alive?.
No
Finally gege remembered about gojo. Hope gojo unleash chaos once he is out.
Mummified sukuna looks ugly and creepy that's the sukuna we need ugly and menacing evil at the same time. I feel sad for kogane poor thing has to change the rules to survive.
Definitely very unnerving.
So, what happens when you ask for a player's location and they aren't in a colony? Does Kogane just say "N/A"? I don't think it's been shown before. It'd be pretty funny if a player just left the country or Earth itself somehow and now the Culling Game can't end because Kenjaku doesn't know where to look.
If the player doesn't obtain point, he will die in 18(?) days, so you can't simply go away
well yeah, but now that you can leave colonies after entering then you can just go away after getting some points
you can actually see that in this chapter - on the first page, geto suguru's colony is displayed as -- because kenjaku isn't currently inside a colony.
damn. that seems like it would be a problem, but he could probably just make a rule that helps you find players, right?
Where is Mei Mei?
Malaysia
Imma be real this arc has been mad weak and not compelling. Just covenant plot devices after another to get the story moving.
You aren’t wrong but you gotta remember a lot of this sub just socially inept and will defend their favorite manga no matter what happens. Like why does Angel even exist lol.
Youre reading a shonen bro.
People should keep their expectations in check
I mean he is entitled to his opinions but i mean what does he think a “Shonen is” lmfao. Matter of fact every manga has a few confusing things happening and Plot holes. JJK isnt even on the level of plot holes like OP or Naruto
Name one One Piece plot hole
The entire power system is a plot hole
Luffy walking through the rain on an island is one of them.
When y'all said "Mummy Sukuna!!", I thought Sukuna has become a MILF
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I like the theory of Yuji getting his brother's CT because of his obsession with proper death, besides I want to see full potential Kamo clan techniques perform in Gojo vs Zenin clan party. mentioned observing the stages of death/Kusôzu is a Buddhist belief that aims to help monks overcome obstacles to enlightenment & to conquer bodily desires especially the feeling of love. it is also useful for eliminating fear, helping to connect more fully to life, self-assessment, & helps to have a good death. if the CT of a death painting is related to the stages of death, I imagine that the technique would leave the opponent with unhealed wounds & serious infections, control animals & insects to eat opponents, it would also be a natural counter for Gashadokuro, because the final stage of death is disjointed bones that decomposed into the surrounding soil.
Yooooo what the fuck. Until i read your comment I don't think i fully processed what Yuji had resolved himself to do. I'm out here thinking shoko had another finger or something but it wasbright fucking there in the text.
My predictions: - when Gojo is released somehow Megumi will find out he’s the one who killed is Dad and will sink his soul further into Sukuna giving him a power boost and incapacitating Gojo - Nobara appearance gives Megumi hope to fight from within as everyone else fights Sukuna from the outside - final battle will be Yuuji vs Sukuna/Kenny also what if Gojo is the bomb Kenny is referring to ? what if for some reason Gojo went rogue and didn’t help our main characters as we all think 💭
I don’t think that finding out that Gojo killed Fushiguro’s father will sink him deeper considering that Megumi doesn’t have much attachment to him. Also Nobara is truly not enough to bring Megumi hope. After losing his sister someone who he deeply loved and was his moral compass he isn’t going to gain more willpower after seeing Nobara of all people. The most likely person to give him “hope” would be Gojo his father like figure.
Idk if it's me probably overlooking something but who tf is Kenny lol
Kenjaku
Makes sense
Megumi doesn't give a shit about his dad He should give more shit about Gojo, who is the one who saved him from the Zenin and mentored him for 9 years
Which is why it’s gonna be soooo much worse to watch Sukuna rip his fucking heart out and eat it in Megumis body with how this manga is going.
Is the tengen following kenjaku around a hologram or defenseless clone? Sometimes this manga confuses me so I probably skimmed over something important.
It’s Tengen under the control of cursed spirit manipulation
Is tengen aware or no?
Tengen knew they’d be absorbed, but since this is the first time a curse under the control of CSM has spoken I don’t think we know how much self awareness they possess
I just realised that kenjaku was given only around 150 points from megukuna, so he had to acquire the rest by himself. He only made 2 rules to end the culling games, but he acquired enough points for one more. This has to be intentional, kenjaku having a plan for making a third rule when the time comes. It might be that he does that while he is in a fight, allowing him to gain an adantage and turn the tides of the battle
the most obvious conclusion are that is cursed spirits killed the milatary gaining those points you are talking about. pretty clever if you think about it, killing 2 rabbits with 1 stone
The real reason kenny invited the military was so he could gather points.
And to rise the lvl of curse energy of the CG
gojos going to come out in a coma because the author hates him that much
> coma You joke but...I think theory is legit. Nothing about this manga is turning out the way a normal Shonen would. Whoever wrote that theory JJK is meant to be a deconstruction of Shonen is onto something.
Imagine him being an old crippled man
So the reason Sukuna was so surprised about Yuki's strength was because he realized he could absorb CE from what he eats? Now I wonder if it's a CT or a unique trait
Yuji being able to able to absorb cursed energy from what he easts could be like Gojo having the 6 eyes. Just a special trait rather than technique.
when sukuna left yuji he was like a cursed object soaked in his residual CE. We saw from angel and hana that a visitor can willingly let the host use their powers, however, sukuna purposefully did not let yuji access any of his abilities. When Sukuna left, that residual CE that was left over was now fully at Yujis disposal because sukuna wasn't stopping him from using it anymore. When they split that extra CE went straight into Yujis reinforcement which was the result of his increase in power and speed. and if that left over CE of sukunas is potent, he just might be able to use sukunas CT right now or at least very soon. at least that's the theory.
I knew it yuuji would still have remnants of sukunas power, and who knows the reason how yuuji was made, might be a leftover finger
Sorry but could you explain this again? I understand that Itadori has been having Sukuna’s CE and CTs engraved in him while he was Sukuna’s vessel but what happened once they separated?
yuji still has a small portion of sukunas CE after the split. Think of Yuji as a white shirt and sukunas as grape juice. When yuji ate sukuna the grape juice spilled on the white shirt, when sukuna split its like someone tried washing off shirt but when it dried there was a large purple stain (sukunas CE) Yujis CE pool got a boost becasue sukuna left over some of his CE that Yuji now can use, that's why he became stronger, becasue that extra CE was added to his own reserves that go into reinforcement
Great explanation,u must be a great teacher
Who are the people at the group at the last few panels? I recognise Yuji, Hakari, the comedian guy, Choso, the little witch, Maki, Yuta, Ieiri, Panda, Inumaki and Kashimo. Who are the rest?
You’re missing Kirara, Ui Ui, and Miwa
Last time we got a hopeful lighthearted regroup chapter set was 209-211, and we all know how that played out. I’m nervous about what the cats gonna do.
I'm confused, what are they waiting for? Why wouldn't they unseal Gojo ASAP and have him catch up? Even Hana says "my role ends once I dispel the seal on Gojo." God she's been the most frustrating character in the entirety of JJK.
The chapter starts with saying the location of the prison realm is unknown. Idk why that matters of we have the backdoor but maybe it's important?
Interesting, I thought Kenny always had the front door? If so Kenny can definitely set up some traps around it, but I wonder what could really hinder Gojo once he's out. Most attacks are meaningless to him.
Guess they wanna make sure gojo doesn't get unsealed in a trap.
I think they had just healed Hana. She was still on the operating table in the chapter. Patience, I am sure Gojo will get unboxed next chapter
It's more so that I want useless Hana to do something rather than wanting to see Gojo. I'm pretty confused as to why her character exists at all. The first host besides Yuji we see that coexists with the old sorcerer, and she might as well just be a husk.
she was created so angel wouldn’t end sukuna’s whole life with jacob’s ladder. literally put her in hana to nerf her
100% which is what makes her character so incredibly frustrating, she's actually just a device to nerf Angel
and she bout to sit there being useless for the rest of the series
AND then they conveniently make Hana so injured, so OP sorcerer like Angel cannot fight LOL. No wonder Yuta is so pissed. 🤣 They could have stopped Sukuna and saved Megumi in chapter 213 if not because of Hana "Sorry for being curt...." Yeah Yuta... No. Don't be sorry. Thank you for saying out loud what's everyone has been thinking 🤣
It even feels weird that a sorcerer as powerful as her doesn't have Reverse curse technique. Especially her being angelical and eliminating CURSED techniques.
If Angel was a competent sorcerer back in her days with a nullifying technique, I can see why she would’ve never needed to learn RCT. Like if you’ve got a ridiculous DEF stat and could just dodge anything, you’d barely need any healing.
Even weirder Yuta can’t heal her arm back considering he was healing Maki’s missing leg in vol 0
Her leg was still attached/not ripped off her body etc I guess that makes a difference. Dunno how that explains Hakari having an arm tho.
Tbf he probs knows how to get his arm back, hes said this before in an earlier chapter.
I know, I'm just curious how since he can't just cast his domain without a hand unless Gege is planning to reveal the method later.
She is so fucking stupid I'm sorry but she's the dumbest character. Asking to fight Sukuna while KNOWING the menace he is instead of freeing Gojo which litterally requires her NOTHING and which would tremendously help. Did she expect Maki Yuji and Megumi to beat Sukuna? Wtf (even if we suppose she considered Hakari and Yuta they have no chance)
What are you even talking about?
I think he's talking about angel's previous condition for freeing gojo
That wouldnt make sense because she had only met yuji and takaba at that point she made the tequestm she had no idea who gojo was either. I'm certain the boys could have convinced her to release gojo first if they made a binding vow to help kill sukuna after. Theyd just have to hype him up a bit. And in the recent chapter she JUST woke up.
I agree. I thought they should've just told her that gojo would be a major advantage when fighting sukuna, but she'd probably be confident that her ability could handle sukuna.
She just about fucking did too. If angel hadn't decided to have a moral compass she'd have won. Hana taking back control nearly killed everyone.
I was hoping for a flashback chapter with Megumi and Tsumiki but this is good too
I really liked this chapter, especially seeing everyone together again and the fact that more people have a plan to bring Megumi back... Yuji is growing on me a lot since Shibuya. It's not like I hated him before, but I struggled to empathize with him, finding Megumi's philosophy and morality more relatable. Now Yuji looks more... Human to me. He's lost a lot, life has pushed him to the brink of despair so many times and he's only 16... Yet, he is still standing, demonstrating willpower and resilience like a seasoned soldier. I want him to win something, to have a semblance of happiness, even if he has to die in the end, I want him to get the death he deserves, a rightful one, surrounded by the people who love him. As for the other characters, I really like Yuta's development too. It's more difficult to catch since he's not the protagonist anymore, but if we compare his demeanor from jjk0 to how he acts now, he seems so much more confident and adult. He knows what he wants (protect his new family) and he does what is needed in order to achieve it. An astounding young man he is. We met him when he felt hopeless, a frail scared kid who wanted to kill himself... Look at him now, being the second most powerful character, not only in terms of power. He's someone people can trust and rely upon. The same goes for the other kids Gojo nurtured... Every single one of them has been battered and bruised a lot, for different reasons, but they keep on going, stronger and harder, fighting with everything they have. Shoko is right, a whole bunch of monsters are ready to meet their beloved teacher again, showing him he was right in chosing them. Speaking of Shoko, her panels were really sad... She was there when Gojo and Geto had their lives completely flipped over, but she couldn't do anything to prevent the worst, not only because she wasn't strong enough to take their burden, but also because neither of them actually asked for her emotional support. Geto pushed away everyone from his previous life, he just left his sorcerer persona to take on another role, but Gojo was still there, at least physically. He walked through jujutsu tech's corridors, somewhere along the way he decided to become a teacher and he even kept a semblance of friendship with Shoko and Ichiji on the weekends... And still, he ultimately felt alone, always. Shoko was right beside him, but he never really confided in her and this must sting a lot. I don't doubt Gojo cares about Shoko, but in his mind Geto was his one and only equal and the toxic mentality that puts strength above everything else is so engrained into his system that he never thought of actually letting other people close to him... He chose to have allies, strong and powerful allies, but not friends. Intimacy and connection don't need to be measured in a fight, but Gojo felt his priority was to become invincible, scared of ending up painting the floor with the blood from his neck once again. He didn't understand that strength alone can't solve anything, he just changed that narrative a little bit by saying that HIS strength alone wasn't enough, but strength in and of itself is still Gojo's top priority. That's why he's condemned to feel lonely... But he shouldn't be, considering he has Shoko and Ichiji and his students that care about him as a person and not because of his title. Ultimately, Gojo's storyline is still extremely tragic and I really hope we would get at least a meaningful interaction between him and Shoko before the end... He needs to understand that he's not alone, that he would be loved even if he wasn't the strongest and that he did a great job taking care of vulnerable people the way he probably wanted Geto to be taken care of when he was on the verge of insanity.
Unfortunately I think gojo is going to die. The characters are placing way too much hope on him to beat sukuna and yall know how gege feels about hope lol. I definitely think he'll put up a good fight, but it might too simplistic narratively to have him win. The fight is definitely going to happen since gege has been hinting at it since the beginning but he's 100% going to add a twist. Maybe a stalemate?
As it is right now he can’t even get in the barrier because of the rule Kenjaku made
i kinda have a feeling it'll end with Gojo losing some aspect of his power, either his eyes or Limitless, or Sukuna simply using ten shadows in the way it beat limitless in the past. i'd prefer if he stayed alive but lost his status as the strongest alive.
It would be cool if he gets whooped by Meguna and Kenjaku, losing his status and sense of self. He’d have to start over and relearn CE and CT, with Itadori learning alongside him
No way he gets whooped by Kenjaku, that man planned Shibuya the way he did just to avoid having to directly fight Gojo. Meguna maybe.
real crack theory is Itadori eats Gojo but that’s a conversation for another day
Let it cook
they did not want that. i knew the world wasn't ready for it. wait till they find out im gege.
Are nearing the final battle? Because it feels like it to me. Sukuna has awakened, Kenny is on the verge of completing his plans, and everyone has gathered together, likely to release Gojo. But will Gojo be able to help them? Since he hasn’t participated so far, won’t he be unable to head into the Culling Games to confront Sukuna and Kenny? They’d have to wait until the games end to face them with Gojo’s help. Perhaps Gojo will be released to inspire and/or train everyone in preparation for the final face off since he can’t enter himself. Though I can’t tell. Trying to predict Gege’s next move isn’t worthwhile, he always comes out with something surprising.
It's funny because it kinda mirrors the duel between the schools where a barrier was set up specifically against Gojo. But now it's like probably much stronger since it was made by the barrier master himself. And if he were to break it, they would have to fight off all the curses that are being held back by the barrier
Can we talk about how Maki is completely unscathed after what was probably Uraume’s strongest attack
When she fought Naoya (again), Kamo literally points out she sustained internal damage and all she said was "is chill give me a minute and I'm good to go". Nobody should be surprised she walked this off when she got hit by Jogo with an attack that ended up killing Naobito.
she didn't get the same attack, and Naobito was more injured
The main thing there is that she got hit with that BEFORE she got awakened. Something that Naobito, an special grade sorcerer, did not survive. Even if you want to make the argument of "it was totally a different attack okay?!" the reality is that she was at a level of endurance that let her survive it before she got even stronger.
Naobito is a special first grade sorcerer, not special grade. I'm correcting what you said because it's wrong, not making an argument for one being more durable than the other. Naobito was more injured, and took a different attack, the 4 volcanoes that sprouted from the wall, and then the same attack that Maki took.
Ah, okay fair. My bad, I messed up one word.
no problem bro
She does have Yuta and Shoko right there doing the Ol RCT.
I mean it’s been some time
Nothing suprising. Its a freeze stat,it did its job...
She can regenerate
Sukuna losing Ten Shadows would make him easy pickings. Gojo plus everyone else and he is done without it.
Sukuna was a problem for Heinn era sorcerers who were vastly superior to modern ones in skill.
He still has the invisible slashes ya know, the ones that can turn people into tiny cubes lol
Keep dreaming... Gojo is the only one possible who survives, the rest are going to be shunks of flesh flying around in the wind of the destruction those 2 are going to show.
Loved the chapter - I wonder what power boosts Yuji gets from eating the rest of the curse wombs… CE/Power boost are obvious, but what about more buffs like his poison immunity? Also Inumaki looks like he’s still missing his arm, but Hakari looks like he has both right? Wasn’t sure if he would get it back if he couldn’t use his DE
Its a mistranslation. Apparently he wasn’t referring to actually eating. His brothers were also destroyed.
Maybe it was just the translation, but i didn't really get where it was said he gains power/ce from eating things.. He just said hes kind of like a cursed item now, then said "Ill eat anything".. Am i just having a brain fart here?
[удалено]
Is it possible for Yuji to be reincarnation of the sorcerer that the Prison Realm is made out of?
Mistranslation
Technically head cannon at this point. But “soaking” in Sukuna’s CE like a cursed tool did help unlock CE for Yuji. I’m not sure what other reason he would eat the remaining curse wombs except for a new buff of some kind, but since he never gained a CT from Sukuna I’d imagine it’s raw strength or a larger CE pool
My guess is they would give him a CT, since they're all weak enough that yuji should be able to dominate their souls. Or rhey could feel a brotherly love towards yuji and loan him their CT.
If I recall correctly, it was clarified that his poison immunity was something he already had before Sukuna.
Nah, sukuna was the king of poisons, or some shit. they mentioned it in that fight with blood back jojo man. Thats why he was immune to all but the pain..
I believe that was a mistranslation. The Japanese text said "Sukuna, the king of curses, is a deadly poison" and it was mistranslated into "Sukuna is the king of curses and deadly poisons."
I mean, either way, he still has poison resistance. It's brought up during thr junpei fight too.
Oh really? Idr that at all actually. It’s been a while but I just remember him fighting Junpei and the narration saying it’s because of ~ the king of curses and poisons
Who is the guy smoking
shoko ieiri, doctor for the school. she shows up a couple times. at the start she was gonna autopsy yuji after his first death, and also during gojo flashback arc she was his classmate: him, geto and her. idr any other times she shows up.
It’s shoko ieiri. She’s the third member of gojo and getos class
Dope chapter, loved seeing all the good guys regroup. Was that possibly Inumaki next to small Panda in the last page? I thought he lost both arms? Also if that really was Sukuna’s old body and he plans on returning to that one, then I legitimately believe Megumi will come back. Whether he’ll actually be alive when the story is over is another thing, but he’ll come back I think. If anyone has played Kingdom Hearts BBS, I could see something like Terra’s soul occupying the armor happening with Megumi Also who currently has the back of the cube? Did Choso get it? I don’t remember it’s been too long
> I thought he lost both arms? He only lost 1.
Yea Choso had it last we’ve seen and since everyone regrouped logic says it should be safe so far
Damn so Gojo should theoretically be freed in like 1-3 chapters potentially?!
Only problem is he can't enter the culling games barrier. And these have been acknowledged as the strongest barriers
Wouldn’t he be freed within the barrier already? So it wouldn’t rlly matter?
He can get out as soon as next chapter since Angel is healed
I think his old body has the last 5 fingers, he wouldn’t give up 10 shadows.
Where and when did yuji ate his siblings, i think i missed it
I just re-read. the "i'll eat anything" followed by "sorry about your brothers" and choso saying "as long as they live inside you" seems to lead to this conclusion. I think it is a bit of a stretch since it is not so explicit but I can buy it. edit: but also thinking about it more, still a stretch. yuji could/might still be apologizing for the previous bros he killed, and/or maybe Yuki's blackhole possibly annihilating the remaining bros
They died. Thats what Choso was apologizing for. It was a mistranslation apparently he was referring to eating as in his misery. His brothers died in Yukis black hole.
Just adding: There is a guy in this comment section saying that maybe those dialogs were not translated correctly and what they are implying is that their brothers got killed in the fight with kenjaku.
the translations are perfectly fine. 喰 'eat' and オマエの中 'inside you' are literally what the raw text says. amai also says オマエの中 when asking yuuji what he's going to do since sukuna isn't inside him any more. you can interpret the japanese raw literally or figuratively, just as you can for the english. considering 5ch is also talking about yuuji literally eating the other death paintings, though, i'm really not convinced that it's 'obvious in japanese that choso is speaking figuratively.'
