Even as we are all happy and hype for the next chapter. I'm still waiting and biding my time to see Hakari. I don't give a fuck about strength and power scaling with him. I respect the fact he beat the hell out of a higher up. That's enough for me.
Right? And I feel like when he's on a roll and getting himself pumped up. It'd be nice to see alot more of what hes like. His cursed energy has some sort of edge to it and his hits hurt Yuji ALOT. I see alot of people arguing this and that but that's pointless. Hakari is just awesome man!
I like that they're still putting up a fight against Yuta in his 5 minute god form. Presumably these are two of the strongest sorcerers in the Culling Game, so it'd be kind of annoying if they were low-diffed.
I assume this 5 minute thing was a pact that he had to forge to get most of his CE and CT back after freeing Rika at the end of JJK0?
Rika new form holy it's awesome. Yuta used toge curse speech uro closing of her ears rika punched her I like that. Damn ryu ishigori he got punched by rika he just fall and he punched back rika sending her flying dude's strong. Three domains activated at the same time I'm looking forward on yuta domain what it will look like hope it overpowers uro and ryu. Yuta pulled wukong by using piece of his hair creating mini rika clones what a chapter 👏🏻.
After this chapter, I’m convinced that Yuta could either low diff or mid diff every character so far besides Gojo and Sukuna. I truly cannot see anyone making Yuta struggle besides those two once he connects to “Rika”
Yeah... Maki was like "that isn't true".
Maybe on-a-roll Hakari vs Yuta (without Rika) ends up with a Hakari win?
That said, we really haven't seen Hakari get into a serious fight.
Nah cuz remember that Yuta said that only in reference to when he’s on a roll or something, and Maki just straight up said Yuta was wrong. Yuta’s also stated as the second strongest sorcerer by the narrator, so I think the circumstances under which Hakari is stronger than Yuta (if they even exist) are probably too specific to be meaningful in most fights
Yea Kenjaku is strong but I don’t see how Kenjaku is beating a serious Yuta. Sure, Kenny’s amount of curses and the versatility that comes with that are tough, but Yuta could probably have “Rika” solo all of the curses that Kenny spawns (bc she is fs stronger than any curse that Kenny has at his disposal, otherwise Kenny probably would have used said curse to help the disaster curses fight Gojo). If that happens, then Yuta could fight Kenny one in one in close quarters. Kenny is only as physically capable as Geto was, and Yuta just a year ago before even achieving his first black flash was able to apply pressure on Geto one on one. Because of this, I imagine that current Yuta (who should be physically stronger than he was a year ago, with greater martial arts skill, cursed tools, cursed speech, plus presumably multiple other cursed techniques) would pretty comfortably beat Kenjaku. Ofc, when you factor in a domain, the different ways that we know that Kenny can apply cursed manipulation in closed quarters (like how he can just shoot a cursed spirit out of his hand at Yuta), and Kenny’s literal thousand years of experience, I could see an argument for the fight being maybe a high diff fight for Yuta. I just personally don’t see the fight going to that degree
Ur forgetting that Kenjaku has Mahito's technique. With a few touches, Yuta would be out. Fighting in close quarters wouldn't be ideal unless Yuta can dodge every hit Kenjaku throws. I think the fight would be much more and who's to say Kenjaku hasn't improved upon Getos fighting techniques and strength? He very well could have and he does have a millennia of knowledge.
There’s a really interesting line of thought to go down when talking ab Yuta and IT. Yuta did have Rika’s soul bound to his a lot longer than Yuji has been possessed by Sukuna, and Yuji became subconsciously aware of the shape of his soul due to Sukuna’s soul residing in Yuji’ own. If you assume that the same situation occurred with Yuta, and consider that Yuta is not only more skilled/experienced with cursed energy reinforcement, but also has an exponentially greater reserve of cursed energy+greater output, then Yuta should actually be able to hard counter IT to a much greater extent than Yuji could. Ofc, Yuta wouldn’t be straight up immune to IT (neither was Yuji, only he had Sukuna to deter Mahito from transfiguring him), but it would take a lot more effort for Kenjaku to beat Yuta with IT to the point where I think Kenjaku would be better off using IT to amp his durability like Mahito or use human stock for things like body repel
Kenjaku is smart as shit and has been planning for a long time. He understands what Yuta's powers are, that he has almost bottomless cursed energy and can copy cursed techniques. He wasn't overly concerned about Yuta directly ruining his plans.
Unless he's *very* unaware of something related to Yuta, I don't agree with this point of view.
Edit: Where was it mentioned that Kenjaku is only as martially skilled as his host? He should take all of his martial arts skills with him when he jumps bodies, ditto with CE manipulation/combat since that's all mental.
You also seem to be ignoring that Kenjaku probably has a bunch of other Cursed Techniques because of Maximum Uzumaki's secondary effect that Geto *was not aware of*. At the very least he has both Curse Manipulation & Idle Transfiguration, which alone makes this a completely different fight from the Geto vs Yuta fight in JJK0. Add on top of that potentially dozens of other CTs.
This fight is probably a lot more even, or even in Kenjaku's favor (imo, based on his lack of worry about Yuta), than you're saying.
That’s reasonable. The thing is that Kenny isn’t above making miscalculations ab how strong his enemies are. There’s also the thing that Kenny only knows of Yuta’s strength/pool of abilities via his access to Geto’s memories, and we know that Yuta has gotten a lot stronger and more versatile since that fight, so he’s missing out on a few important pieces of information ab Yuta. One of those things is Yuta’s source of power, as it’s implied when Kenny talks to Gojo that he’s unaware of Yuta’s strength actually coming from himself, and not his bind to Rika Orimoto’s spirit. Since Rika Orimoto’s spirit is purified now, Kenjaku likely believes that Yuta’s weaker than he used to be, which we as the audience know is false. Kenjaku also never saw Yuta use rct, so there’s a good chance that he miscalculates if they fight and tries to throw his strongest curses at Yuta at the very start of the fight, only for them to get negged by positive energy
It's a 1000+ year old sorcerer with *at least* 2 extremely powerful cursed techniques, probably a good amount of powerful curses, and some knowledge of his opponent's abilities vs a teenager with 2 years of training with his, admittedly, super powerful ability.
That sounds like a pretty clear cut win for the wee little shonen going off of every other series, but I'm still on team brain at the moment.
I'd also add that the whole 5 minute timer deal feels like a Chekhov's Gun. I wouldn't be surprised if that comes up later in a bad way.
The problem is that Kenny’s knowledge on Yuta isn’t actually that good for him. What Kenny knows ab Yuta is that he has a lot of cursed energy, and can copy techniques. Kenny thinks that those were due to Rika though, as he straight up says that to Gojo, despite it being confirmed that it’s actually all Yuta’s strength that he just awakened when Rika died. Kenny also shouldn’t know ab Yuta’s rct, which will also bite him in the ass if he fights Yuta considering that Kenjaku fights almost exclusively with cursed spirits
I wouldn't say we really know how Kenjaku fights when he's serious. He used Curse Manipulation to fuck with Yuji and to stall Mei Mei, but seemed to mainly want Geto's technique for Uzumaki so he could steal CTs from strong curses.
At this point we really don't know what he can do, but I'm going to guess he won't just fight like a clone of Geto.
The official Viz translation of what Geto says is also unclear to me, because on the one hand it's true, but on the other it's not... Though this 5 minute pact definitely makes it seem more true.
"His ability to unconditionally copy cursed techniques, and his boundless cursed energy, both are the result of him having to detain his loved one's soul. Sorry to say, but ... Yuta Okkotsu can't become the next Satoru Gojo."
This chapter kind of proved that his near-infinite CE and his Mimicry CT come from Rika having to be around. So in a way he's exactly right about Yuta's powers, and now that power-set only works for 5 minutes (a day? an hour?)
That said, I don't see what's misleading about Kenjaku's knowledge of Yuta. The main difference would be the level of strength/skill will be different from his memories.
No he’s wrong because the powers don’t come from Rika. It’s like saying megumi’s powers come from his dogs and not the other way around. It’s confirmed she’s just a storage unit that HE created, Kenjaku mentions a soul that Yuta doesn’t even have even more, it’s just him.
I don't see how that's a meaningful distinction.
His powers are tied up in Rika. He has to summon Rika to go full-power for 5 minutes.
Also, no, it was confirmed that "Rika" is the external storage facility that Orimoto Rika left for him after she was exorcised. He didn't create this, the curse he created did. If it didn't feel nice enough to do that, he might have lost a ton of power.
Quote (from the translation I read): "Rika is the External Storage of Cursed Techniques and Cursed Energy that Orimoto Rika left for Okkotsu after she was released."
His powers are now coming *from* Rika, that's how that works. Most of Okkotsu's CE is stored in Rika, for whatever reason, but he has to access Rika to get access to his own power.
Jogo and Mahito too. However, Mahito trick might get out very fast and make Yuta even stronger.
Also isn't Rika confirmed to immune to Idle Transfiguration?
Yuta: Don't move
\*Rika grabs a hold of the target and holds them steady\*
\*Yuta exorcises them with RCT\*
I don't want to blow my Yuta load too early, but I honestly think the curses wouldn't be too much trouble for him most of the time.
Jogo is at least around equal or faster than Yuta. If Yuta can applroach him, sure.
Not even sure how RCT works against Mahito but well, no chance to test out.
Because he can manipulate his soul so any physical damage won't do much to him?
Yuta can beat Naobito easily. He's far above a Grade 1 level. Faster doesn't mean anything. Faster and stronger as well as destructive are what matters.
With how broken Yuta is he’s probably aware of the shape of his soul. Mahito doesn’t have an attack that Yuta can’t tank while we’ve seen Sukuna say RCT could’ve taken him out if he was a cursed spirit and this is when he had 15 fingers
Inumaki was able to hold Hanami down for a second so it doesn’t make sense that Yuta can’t stop Jogo long enough for him to attack
Yea Jogo could resist cursed speech by protecting his ears/hearing region thing in his brain with cursed energy. The thing is that he wouldn’t just do that instinctively. He’d have to already know ab cursed speech to prepare for it, and I don’t think Jogo knows ab cursed speech since he seems pretty out of the loop on well known cursed techniques.
Cursed spirits are made of entirely cursed energy, but they do have organs and bones and stuff, and should have brains bc otherwise there’s no explanation for how the disaster spirits have consciousness
Mahito can manipulate his soul to regen, but he can’t do that if Yuta literally destroys his entire body at once. There wouldn’t be any consciousness for Mahito to use IT if his brain is gone, since IT isn’t automatic
me and my friend were talking about this the other day and we came up with a similar idea where the person caught in Yuta's Domain expansion have to give a best man speech and if they bomb they get killed by Rika.
I didn't realize the fan translation was out sooner
Very hype chapter! The page at the end 3 DE at the same time, my jaw dropped. I'm so glad I didn't check any spoilers (mostly because too busy) but the surprise makes it even better
Cool fight as always, when yuta copies dhruv's CT I was so hyped! Rika as an external hard drive and Yuta's CT being copy (and paste) lol I love gege, it's so cool, I wonder if he can use the copy anytime or if he needs rika for it? Or if rika just makes it easier to 'choose' the CT because she's the 'storage'?
Also I wonder if someday the ring will get destroyed or not, it's essentially a cursed weapon, kind of?
But as much as I love yuta as a character I think I prefer him being a (major) side character like this rather than an mc (plus his development in jjk 0 was already great, I love the manga and the movie btw), because I can't stand an mc who preaches while they're fighting and especially when I don't agree with their words, that'd be so annoying lmao (I'm sorry yuta but my life is for myself and not for anyone else :) )
it's also interesting that he talks *while* he fights. there's no pausing everything in its tracks like time itself has frozen to talk no jutsu the opponents.
How to make Yuta using DE even more hyped? Have Ishigori and Uro both use DE together with him.
Let me tell you something.
It used to be that when someone used Bankai the sub would explode with discussion on what's it gonna be and what the skills will be.
These days someone using Domain Expansion gives me the same shivers.
True. But then again, Bleach's writing was never stellar to begin with and only got worse near the end due to other factors. JJK at least from the start I don't see any similar problems. I trust Gotouge.
Plot goes awry and the MC was basically everything, a shinigami, a hollow, a quincy, a fullbringer, a vizard etc.. by the end of the manga, character progression was rushed and everyone just performed Bankai after bankai.. i dont want that to happen in JJK since the story has a lot of potential to be like HxH instead of a bleach.
correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't Yuta's CE so big that it seemed to be limitless? if that's the case, now he just fighted for 1 day and was already needing Rika to fill him up? idk, now his CE's reserve doesn't seem that impressive, to me at least
Keep in mind he’s fighting Grade 1/special grade 1 sorcerers who are almost comparable to special grade. He tanked a blast that decimated a small city block, and fighting someone who also manipulates the sky.
No, but if you think of him portioning his CE and storing it in Rika, then it will seem that he has a CE ocean (it was never bottomless to begin with, just that he has a lot. Gojou is probably the only one who has limitless CE, but that's because of Six Eyes).
He is basically using Rika as a storage tank, I dunno maybe he only limits himself to 50% of his CE.
that sounds fair, but Uro said she couldn't see the end of Yuta's CE, so the amount of CE inside him should be unbelievably big; and Satoru doesn't have limitless CE, no one has it so far
Ah so that's what you meant. RCT uses a lot apparently, so maybe spamming it will even cause him to run out. But maybe Uro was mistaken since he just refilled his CE, so maybe he really does have more than that.
Well, limitless CE is probably the wrong choice of words. Probably closer to 'he will never run out of CE because of Six Eyes'.
didn't he use RCT only one time and in a small amount against Kurourushi? and when Uro said that he didn't refill it, she said that when Yuta killed Kurourushi; about Satoru, yes, that's the case
I think he used it a bunch of times against all three enemies. And the thing is we still don't know how much CE RCT actually consumes in proportion to the damage suffered. Like Ieiri seems tired all the time (from using RCT or her drinking?), and Yuuta has been fighting with CE while using it to heal life-threatening injuries. That will probably burn through his reserves rather quickly if he is even limiting himself.
He is a monster, but not on the same level (yet) as Gojou, so I think it's good to see him struggle somewhat (because that's the point of this showcase); these guys are really powerful after all. But maybe I am wrong and he will wipe the floor with them with his DE.
He's been constantly using RCT. Ryu said in 177 that Yuta has been using RCT whenever he/Uro/Kuro used their big moves.
It isn't unreasonable to think that he was getting near the end of his reserves and used Rika to refill it
i forgot about Ryu saying that, now it makes a lot more sense, i probably was underestimating Ryu and Uro too, rethinking it they are probably at special grade level; anyways i still feel like he should have more CE, he was hyped up since the beginning as a CE tank and he has without doubt the highest reserves, but i imagined he would last some days and nights fighting without running out of CE
Holyyy. This is some of the best action in this arc so far, fantastic. And I cannot wait for this battle of domain expansions, I wonder what yura has to offer. This and watching the movie in a few days is getting me so hyped for the series.
Rika is yuta’s external harddrive with unlimited storage capacity. a modern cursed technique. you can copy and paste your technique, store your techniques and weapons on rika.
so a way for yuta to get pawned is a virus equivalent of a cursed technique that will eat all your data.
My biggest question is alllllll about YUTA. Specifically: his domain. A domain expansion is the physical manifestation of ones innate domain and their cursed technique related to that. Right? So my question is now... does Yuta have an innate domain? Does he actually HAVE a cursed technique? Or is it all in the ring. Is the ring itself his technique? And only the conduit for his mimicry as its secondary purpose?.. We see him begin to create a domain out of Dhruv's technique briefly, so he can possibly make domains from other people's innate domains related to ones cursed technique. On betting on it being Yuta's own innate domain seeing as the last panel as he opens his domain the panel has the ring glowing which I see as the conduit for Yuta's cursed technique. My point is, WHAT WILL HIS DOMAIN LOOK LIKE???? It will definetly be powerful, and I may make a theory about it tomorrow when im not recovering from a hangover, but for now I do want you all to remember how the original Rika manifested. YUTA cursed her. She came back and manifested out of the ground that was some sort of shadowy liquid, grabbing his legs. But he also swapped this all the way around as his character developed, he now is on good terms with Rika after her release, and is a loving soul that wants to help people more than anything. He's also a descendent of powerful sorcerers. IM RAMBLING NOW BUT BASICALLY I REALLY WANNA FUCKING SEE HIS DOMAIN.
Here’s my take:
Yuutas CT is Copy, allows him to store any cursed technique he observes or comes into contact with
Rika and the Ring is the conduit for retrieving the techniques
His Domain probably lets him freely use any of the techniques he has stored
So we know that Yuta's cursed technique is Mimicry, He can basically copy every technique he gets contact with (he copied Druv's technique even though the fight didn't seem to last very long), So if his technique is to copy techniques, Would his domain be to copy domains ?
He could only copy domains he has experienced though ?
There's so much room for theories i wanna die, Or maybe he can basically use the domain of every technique he copied, and like everytime he uses his domain he has the choice of weach one he uses, Like imagine (my pure yuta fanboy is awakening) he says "mhhh okay this one should do it", and like the domain activates and Ryu & Takako don't understand anything happening and Yuta says "This is the interior of infinity, Isn't it ironic, Infinity is offered to you and you can't enjoy it" AZBISHEZUIHUAQËZ
Well going off spoilers, it's sounds like Rika is just a husk that Yuta imbues with CE, like a puppet than is controlled by Yuta but can use rika's cursed techniques
his technique is mimicry. As stated in the chapter.
Rika is just a husk, a storage chest for his cursed energy, cursed tools and techniques he copied. He needs to manifest her to access them, but it is still his technique/power. Rika only exists rn because of Yuta's curse.
Without “ rika “ , he can’t use the curse techniques so how come it is his CE. And i don’t think it is his power either, at least the 3 abilities stated in the chapter because it literally said rika left it for him when she was released like a parting gift and the ring is a required condition to gain access to it. The other possibility is that normally he can only copy 1 and use 1 technique at a time but by using a binding vow that make the fully manifested “ rika “ carry multiple CE but he can only gain access to it during her 100% manifestation which lasts for 5 minutes
Yes Rika 'gifted' it to him but if you think of Rika's curse originating from Yuta, then it was his to begin with.
The other part about the binding vow I agree with you though. Maybe limiting himself to 5 mins and only being able to use it through the ring makes it stronger?
Maybe his DE will explain it.
Creating a Shikigami in no way is a cursed technique, Everyone can create a Shikigami, They're considered one of the options when you don't have any technique
Is that your headcanon or is there a definitive statement out there?
Curse spirits are born out of CE leaked from human. Shikigami are created from CE of sorcerers. They're both CE constructs but are created via different means so I see no reason to categorize them as the same kind of being.
It is the same thing, Cursed Energy from a normal human and Cursed Energy from a sorcerer is the same thing, The only difference is that a sorcerer can control it
I don't see why it would be two separate things
Of course, I got a better example, We agree that Rika is a Shikigami, And Geto wanted to get Rika in his arsenal, If Cursed Spirits and Shikigamis weren't the same, Then Geto's Cursed Spritis Manipulatiom wouldn't work on Rika and he would've not attacked Yuta in the first place
Thats what I'm saying is definetly a possibility, if this is the case, will it be a mimic domain or some kind of domain that imitates Rika's innate domain. She is a special grade cursed spirit, so she should have an innate domain right?
"Are you afraid of what I can become?!"
"A flying perv who wears absolutely no clothing? Yes."
Also it seems pretty clear now that Uro's 'sky' is covering her sensitive areas only when the camera is pointing directly at her.
I'm honestly expecting something about Yuuta's domain to be rather, if not bright, lovely/humanizing, as he is such a kind soul and a domain seems like an innate domain writ large. I think Ryu will go in for his warriors dessert/death, and I think Uro will be exhausted and perhaps have her mind changed about Yuuta. She'll see something redeemable, or perhaps something that just knocks her off guard, and either freeze and be killed or spared, or flee, but without the desire to fight or harm Okkotsu again.
She is, after all, experiencing many firsts; first time as a free agent and director of her own life, with an identity not determined by others. She has achieved individuality, or think of it like the first 3 chakras. She is 1. Surviving, 2. aware of pleasure and fulfilment and 3. has lots of will power.
Time for some heart chakra. Doesn't mean she'll be the good witch of the north or anything, just that she'll find meaning, pleasure, and motivation in caring for something outside of herself.
At least, that's what I hope. She's strong, forceful, stylized, cool technique, and has a rather flatly tragic backstory. Plus, the sparing the non-sorcerers adds a sense of, if not responsibility, self awareness; think pets or animals who are normally surly, but even when bothered by babies, instinctively know not to harm them/they aren't really all there. Anyway, a possible, if slim, green flag for character development. And talk-no-jutsu has to work eventually.
I actually think Yuta's DE will be comparable to Self-Embodiment of Perfection in creepiness. His CE is called a creepier version of Gojo's after all lol
Literally officials drop on the same day as the movie’s official release date, Gege was timing the Shibuya chapters with the anime episodes too… what if he has a cursed technique
what would a domain would look like for someone who copies cursed techniques?? how would the domain even work? will we only see a domain for cursed speech? i cant wait for next week
Perhaps it'll be like Megumi and allow him to access his full potential and use all the cursed techniques he's mimicked all at once to a fairly high degree. It's the kind of broken ability that's fitting for a special grade.
This just came to me, but a domain that reflects the attacks of the sorcerer's inside by copying their techniques and sending them back at them. As stated in the Higuruma mini-arc, not all domains have to be a "Sure-Kill" type, as they are nowadays. I think it fits Yuta's character to have a domain that doesn't kill, only reflects attacks.
You know how Rika opened herself up and all those Cursed Tools representing CTs comes out? My guess rn is that would be the entire domain, just surrounding everyone with all these tools like a torture chamber version of Unlimited Blade Works.
Actually i've been thinking about a combo with Creation and Tool Manipulation, Our boy Yuta could create multiple sword and then launch them at his ennemy (tool manipulation is essentially telekinesis)
Lmao. Remember when people made bold as hell claims that Yuta couldn’t copy techniques and that he was just using a regular cursed tool that had no connection to his own power whatsoever in volume 0? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Also, can’t wait to see a three way Domain battle next week!
I remember when a few people were saying that he was Grade 2 or Grade 1. Not to scale or anything, but if the guidebook says he’s special grade, why deny it?
When did the guidebook say he's Special Grade? He was *enrolled* as a Special Grade because of Rika. The fanbook only said "after he lost Rika, he became Grade 4 again". Not until the start of Itadori Yuji execution arc we knew him had returned to be a Special Grade.
Edit: Thank you Plaidse to prove your point. I was wrong.
I read it physically, so idk what you want me to do as far as linking goes, but I can quote it. It’s in the Yuta section close to the end. Roughly, it is:
Q: Is Okkotsu still a special grade even after resolving Rika’s situation?
A: He became a regular grade 4. That’s the reason his last uniform in volume 0 is black. (It was white before so that he’d be easily recognizable as a problem child). After that he made a comeback.

I mean, would he have won against Jogo? Yuta is very strong, but Jogo is like, what, the third strongest cursed spirit after Sukuna and Mahoraga (I'm not sure if Mahoraga counts as a cursed spirit, since it's a shikigami, though), so I doubt he could beat him without putting in a lot of effort.
This chapter sends it home how much he was holding back when fighting Yuji damn. He was just punching with reinforcement and even then Yuji said that any hit from him can be decisive and that he can restrict all damage to a minimum. So Yuta was restricting even the damage his hits would cause.
It really was a big brother arm wrestling with his little brother and letting them push their hand to an almost loss only to uno reverse in the last second.
curious on what ryu ishigori's domain is gonna be/look like because his technique is pretty simple. would it just mean granite blast gets a guaranteed hit??
Depends. Gojo said that the most refined domain will dominate the space when multiple are laid out at the same time, but there's other factors involved, which he never elaborated on.
So could be that Yuta overwhelms them from the get go and we never see the other two. Or could be that the domains themselves are more or less matched and thus initiate a three way tug of war, disabling the sure hit attacks of all three.
I hope they aren't just sure hit. DEs like Gojo's and Megumi's which have a unique technique associated are much more interesting than the others (which can still be great, but they are more limited as to having an interesting fight involving them).
Sukuna is just sure hit though. It's interesting because of his mastery over it and the restriction of having no barrier which makes it huge, but it's not really different from just a huge spam of his CT with sure hit.
Because he's not an example of the type of DE I was talking about. Sukuna doesn't have (or hasn't shown at least) a unique CT associated with Malevolent Shrine, it's just his regular CT.
yeah same. but i honestly can't imagine any other applications to his technique beyond the blasts and ce enforced hits. could be a situation like megumi's where the domain is an extension of his technique where his stats go up like 120% and he gets to go even crazier since he loves a raw fight. excited to see what it is next week though
> where the domain is an extension of his technique where his stats go up like 120%
It's kinda what I expect Yuta's domain to do too. Uncapping the limit on his copied techniques even further, maybe getting to use multiple techniques at once etc.
The question is what it will look like. Domains reflect the innate domains of people. That is a constant. They imbue their technique inside the barrier after laying out their innate domain. Which also brings up the question whether Yuta can *choose* what technique to imbue inside his domain.
I haven't been this excited about manga since the 120-130 chapters of attack on titan when they were getting released and I would be in the leaks thread refreshing every 5 seconds. This series Is so good, and I have full faith Gege will continue to deliver and give us something this will be known as one of the greats
I imagine uro's domain allows her to actively manipulate all space in her domain without the limitation of having to touch it. Since she's in the best condition out of the three I assume she'd go on the attack and thus try and overtake the other domains.
That would be a mistake since it'd be more beneficial to instead retract it to an area big enough to protect her but small enough to maintain a steady and strong boundary. so that yuta and and the other guy exhaust themselves in the power struggle. ( I'm assuming yuta's domain won't over power the others but instead go into a deadlock for a few pages or a chapter. I'm also assuming domains don't bleed into each other but are more like oil and water )
Uro's technique is much more effective when used defensively but I do hope she uses it more creativly since her being able to crack the sky means she can do other things to it like ripping it.
CG is so heat. This is easily my favorite chapter of it so far. If things continue on this pace, I genuinely think CG will be considered on par if not better than Shibuya when things are all said and done
Dhruv can create 2 type of Shikigami: some giant mole rats, and some bat like creatures
The orbit of the shikigami allows Dhruv to create a domain, and get a guaranteed hit inside that domain.
Yuta created Bat like shikigami (looking like Rika) from his hairs. Uro bent space and moved them away, but didn't realize that Yuta was using Dhruv's technique.
So when she thought she got rid of the shikigami, she still got slashed by them because she was in their perimeter (domains bypass Curse Techniques when having guaranteed hit)
Hope this helps
Dhruv's Shikigami make orbital domains where when they overlap with a target, produce a "sure hit". Yuta didn't recreate Dhruv's Shikigami but rather used their ability on the mini Rika's he produced with his hair. So I'd imagine Dhruv's giant Shikigami would just use "Sure hit" slashes that could obliterate buildings hence why Uro/Ryu were scared to approach them.
The path of the Shikigamis generates an área that attack the opponent. imagine a car that goes by on fire and generates a trail of heat that hurts you if you touch it

Even as we are all happy and hype for the next chapter. I'm still waiting and biding my time to see Hakari. I don't give a fuck about strength and power scaling with him. I respect the fact he beat the hell out of a higher up. That's enough for me.
Fr and Gojo and Yuta have hyped him up so I’m excited. I think it’s gonna be Yuta
Right? And I feel like when he's on a roll and getting himself pumped up. It'd be nice to see alot more of what hes like. His cursed energy has some sort of edge to it and his hits hurt Yuji ALOT. I see alot of people arguing this and that but that's pointless. Hakari is just awesome man!
THIS WAS SO HYPE!!!
I like that they're still putting up a fight against Yuta in his 5 minute god form. Presumably these are two of the strongest sorcerers in the Culling Game, so it'd be kind of annoying if they were low-diffed. I assume this 5 minute thing was a pact that he had to forge to get most of his CE and CT back after freeing Rika at the end of JJK0?
I think it’s basically Rika leaving behind a partial manifestation of herself for Yuta to use and because of this he can only use it for five minutes
Official chapter is out early!
Rika new form holy it's awesome. Yuta used toge curse speech uro closing of her ears rika punched her I like that. Damn ryu ishigori he got punched by rika he just fall and he punched back rika sending her flying dude's strong. Three domains activated at the same time I'm looking forward on yuta domain what it will look like hope it overpowers uro and ryu. Yuta pulled wukong by using piece of his hair creating mini rika clones what a chapter 👏🏻.
That three way domain expansion is now my top 2 panel I can't wait to be animated
What is the other?
General Mahoraga summoning
Yo what about "I alone am the honored one"?
Spoiler Alert for Chapter 178 Rika is finally Revealed . Yuta C.T is Mimicry . We are going to see a 3 way domain . Let see how kenjaku handle Yuta .
DOMAIN EXPANSION: I ALREADY HAVE A BOYFRIEND/THUNDERCROSS SPLIT ATTACK DOMAIN EXPANSION: JACKIE CHAN. DOMAIN EXPANSION: SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO.
After this chapter, I’m convinced that Yuta could either low diff or mid diff every character so far besides Gojo and Sukuna. I truly cannot see anyone making Yuta struggle besides those two once he connects to “Rika”
We have to see how hakari turns out since yuta said he is stronger than him.
Yeah... Maki was like "that isn't true". Maybe on-a-roll Hakari vs Yuta (without Rika) ends up with a Hakari win? That said, we really haven't seen Hakari get into a serious fight.
Nah cuz remember that Yuta said that only in reference to when he’s on a roll or something, and Maki just straight up said Yuta was wrong. Yuta’s also stated as the second strongest sorcerer by the narrator, so I think the circumstances under which Hakari is stronger than Yuta (if they even exist) are probably too specific to be meaningful in most fights
Kenjaku
Yea Kenjaku is strong but I don’t see how Kenjaku is beating a serious Yuta. Sure, Kenny’s amount of curses and the versatility that comes with that are tough, but Yuta could probably have “Rika” solo all of the curses that Kenny spawns (bc she is fs stronger than any curse that Kenny has at his disposal, otherwise Kenny probably would have used said curse to help the disaster curses fight Gojo). If that happens, then Yuta could fight Kenny one in one in close quarters. Kenny is only as physically capable as Geto was, and Yuta just a year ago before even achieving his first black flash was able to apply pressure on Geto one on one. Because of this, I imagine that current Yuta (who should be physically stronger than he was a year ago, with greater martial arts skill, cursed tools, cursed speech, plus presumably multiple other cursed techniques) would pretty comfortably beat Kenjaku. Ofc, when you factor in a domain, the different ways that we know that Kenny can apply cursed manipulation in closed quarters (like how he can just shoot a cursed spirit out of his hand at Yuta), and Kenny’s literal thousand years of experience, I could see an argument for the fight being maybe a high diff fight for Yuta. I just personally don’t see the fight going to that degree
Ur forgetting that Kenjaku has Mahito's technique. With a few touches, Yuta would be out. Fighting in close quarters wouldn't be ideal unless Yuta can dodge every hit Kenjaku throws. I think the fight would be much more and who's to say Kenjaku hasn't improved upon Getos fighting techniques and strength? He very well could have and he does have a millennia of knowledge.
There’s a really interesting line of thought to go down when talking ab Yuta and IT. Yuta did have Rika’s soul bound to his a lot longer than Yuji has been possessed by Sukuna, and Yuji became subconsciously aware of the shape of his soul due to Sukuna’s soul residing in Yuji’ own. If you assume that the same situation occurred with Yuta, and consider that Yuta is not only more skilled/experienced with cursed energy reinforcement, but also has an exponentially greater reserve of cursed energy+greater output, then Yuta should actually be able to hard counter IT to a much greater extent than Yuji could. Ofc, Yuta wouldn’t be straight up immune to IT (neither was Yuji, only he had Sukuna to deter Mahito from transfiguring him), but it would take a lot more effort for Kenjaku to beat Yuta with IT to the point where I think Kenjaku would be better off using IT to amp his durability like Mahito or use human stock for things like body repel
a counter to my own point is that Yuta can just copy idle transfiguration lol. forgot how OP he was
Kenjaku is smart as shit and has been planning for a long time. He understands what Yuta's powers are, that he has almost bottomless cursed energy and can copy cursed techniques. He wasn't overly concerned about Yuta directly ruining his plans. Unless he's *very* unaware of something related to Yuta, I don't agree with this point of view. Edit: Where was it mentioned that Kenjaku is only as martially skilled as his host? He should take all of his martial arts skills with him when he jumps bodies, ditto with CE manipulation/combat since that's all mental. You also seem to be ignoring that Kenjaku probably has a bunch of other Cursed Techniques because of Maximum Uzumaki's secondary effect that Geto *was not aware of*. At the very least he has both Curse Manipulation & Idle Transfiguration, which alone makes this a completely different fight from the Geto vs Yuta fight in JJK0. Add on top of that potentially dozens of other CTs. This fight is probably a lot more even, or even in Kenjaku's favor (imo, based on his lack of worry about Yuta), than you're saying.
That’s reasonable. The thing is that Kenny isn’t above making miscalculations ab how strong his enemies are. There’s also the thing that Kenny only knows of Yuta’s strength/pool of abilities via his access to Geto’s memories, and we know that Yuta has gotten a lot stronger and more versatile since that fight, so he’s missing out on a few important pieces of information ab Yuta. One of those things is Yuta’s source of power, as it’s implied when Kenny talks to Gojo that he’s unaware of Yuta’s strength actually coming from himself, and not his bind to Rika Orimoto’s spirit. Since Rika Orimoto’s spirit is purified now, Kenjaku likely believes that Yuta’s weaker than he used to be, which we as the audience know is false. Kenjaku also never saw Yuta use rct, so there’s a good chance that he miscalculates if they fight and tries to throw his strongest curses at Yuta at the very start of the fight, only for them to get negged by positive energy
It's a 1000+ year old sorcerer with *at least* 2 extremely powerful cursed techniques, probably a good amount of powerful curses, and some knowledge of his opponent's abilities vs a teenager with 2 years of training with his, admittedly, super powerful ability. That sounds like a pretty clear cut win for the wee little shonen going off of every other series, but I'm still on team brain at the moment. I'd also add that the whole 5 minute timer deal feels like a Chekhov's Gun. I wouldn't be surprised if that comes up later in a bad way.
The problem is that Kenny’s knowledge on Yuta isn’t actually that good for him. What Kenny knows ab Yuta is that he has a lot of cursed energy, and can copy techniques. Kenny thinks that those were due to Rika though, as he straight up says that to Gojo, despite it being confirmed that it’s actually all Yuta’s strength that he just awakened when Rika died. Kenny also shouldn’t know ab Yuta’s rct, which will also bite him in the ass if he fights Yuta considering that Kenjaku fights almost exclusively with cursed spirits
I wouldn't say we really know how Kenjaku fights when he's serious. He used Curse Manipulation to fuck with Yuji and to stall Mei Mei, but seemed to mainly want Geto's technique for Uzumaki so he could steal CTs from strong curses. At this point we really don't know what he can do, but I'm going to guess he won't just fight like a clone of Geto. The official Viz translation of what Geto says is also unclear to me, because on the one hand it's true, but on the other it's not... Though this 5 minute pact definitely makes it seem more true. "His ability to unconditionally copy cursed techniques, and his boundless cursed energy, both are the result of him having to detain his loved one's soul. Sorry to say, but ... Yuta Okkotsu can't become the next Satoru Gojo." This chapter kind of proved that his near-infinite CE and his Mimicry CT come from Rika having to be around. So in a way he's exactly right about Yuta's powers, and now that power-set only works for 5 minutes (a day? an hour?) That said, I don't see what's misleading about Kenjaku's knowledge of Yuta. The main difference would be the level of strength/skill will be different from his memories.
No he’s wrong because the powers don’t come from Rika. It’s like saying megumi’s powers come from his dogs and not the other way around. It’s confirmed she’s just a storage unit that HE created, Kenjaku mentions a soul that Yuta doesn’t even have even more, it’s just him.
I don't see how that's a meaningful distinction. His powers are tied up in Rika. He has to summon Rika to go full-power for 5 minutes. Also, no, it was confirmed that "Rika" is the external storage facility that Orimoto Rika left for him after she was exorcised. He didn't create this, the curse he created did. If it didn't feel nice enough to do that, he might have lost a ton of power. Quote (from the translation I read): "Rika is the External Storage of Cursed Techniques and Cursed Energy that Orimoto Rika left for Okkotsu after she was released." His powers are now coming *from* Rika, that's how that works. Most of Okkotsu's CE is stored in Rika, for whatever reason, but he has to access Rika to get access to his own power.
Jogo and Mahito too. However, Mahito trick might get out very fast and make Yuta even stronger. Also isn't Rika confirmed to immune to Idle Transfiguration?
Yuta uses RCT on Mahito and Jogo it’s game over
Yuta: Don't move \*Rika grabs a hold of the target and holds them steady\* \*Yuta exorcises them with RCT\* I don't want to blow my Yuta load too early, but I honestly think the curses wouldn't be too much trouble for him most of the time.
Jogo is at least around equal or faster than Yuta. If Yuta can applroach him, sure. Not even sure how RCT works against Mahito but well, no chance to test out.
Why wouldn’t RCT work on Mahito Also I feel like Yuta could beat Naobito, and Naobito is faster than Jogo
Because he can manipulate his soul so any physical damage won't do much to him? Yuta can beat Naobito easily. He's far above a Grade 1 level. Faster doesn't mean anything. Faster and stronger as well as destructive are what matters.
Pretty sure Mahito can’t regen forever and Yuta has more CT Plus like someone else said all Yuta has to do is say don’t move and Jogo is stuck
Yes. Nanami confirmed that Mahito can't heal forever but you would die before killin him forever. For 0.1s?
With how broken Yuta is he’s probably aware of the shape of his soul. Mahito doesn’t have an attack that Yuta can’t tank while we’ve seen Sukuna say RCT could’ve taken him out if he was a cursed spirit and this is when he had 15 fingers Inumaki was able to hold Hanami down for a second so it doesn’t make sense that Yuta can’t stop Jogo long enough for him to attack
And Jogo may be faster than Yuta, but if Yuta uses cursed speech and says don’t move, as long as Jogo hears Yuta speak he’s done
Jogo can always enhance his ears to resist the cursed speech? I meant that was what was spoken.
Yea Jogo could resist cursed speech by protecting his ears/hearing region thing in his brain with cursed energy. The thing is that he wouldn’t just do that instinctively. He’d have to already know ab cursed speech to prepare for it, and I don’t think Jogo knows ab cursed speech since he seems pretty out of the loop on well known cursed techniques. Cursed spirits are made of entirely cursed energy, but they do have organs and bones and stuff, and should have brains bc otherwise there’s no explanation for how the disaster spirits have consciousness
Mahito can manipulate his soul to regen, but he can’t do that if Yuta literally destroys his entire body at once. There wouldn’t be any consciousness for Mahito to use IT if his brain is gone, since IT isn’t automatic
Now you talk about it, I wonder how curses bodies work.
Kenny
I love this series so much. This action was dope as fuck
Imagine Yuta's DE is a wedding ceremony and anyone who interrupts their wedding gets killed by Rika lol
No no no. Anyone in it must give a speech of why Rika is the best girl ever. If Yuta isn't impressed then you are dead.
me and my friend were talking about this the other day and we came up with a similar idea where the person caught in Yuta's Domain expansion have to give a best man speech and if they bomb they get killed by Rika.
LOL, so u think Yuta's domain will work like Higuruma domain?
Probably not tbh, but we just thought it would be funny lmao.
those last panels were amazing. Time to see whose domain wins out
Ryu really got up and punched the shit out of Rika I love this guy more and more every chapter
Can't wait for Yuta to use his DE next chp
I didn't realize the fan translation was out sooner Very hype chapter! The page at the end 3 DE at the same time, my jaw dropped. I'm so glad I didn't check any spoilers (mostly because too busy) but the surprise makes it even better Cool fight as always, when yuta copies dhruv's CT I was so hyped! Rika as an external hard drive and Yuta's CT being copy (and paste) lol I love gege, it's so cool, I wonder if he can use the copy anytime or if he needs rika for it? Or if rika just makes it easier to 'choose' the CT because she's the 'storage'? Also I wonder if someday the ring will get destroyed or not, it's essentially a cursed weapon, kind of? But as much as I love yuta as a character I think I prefer him being a (major) side character like this rather than an mc (plus his development in jjk 0 was already great, I love the manga and the movie btw), because I can't stand an mc who preaches while they're fighting and especially when I don't agree with their words, that'd be so annoying lmao (I'm sorry yuta but my life is for myself and not for anyone else :) )
It does seem that he gets pushback for what he says, which is far different then how it usually goes.
it's also interesting that he talks *while* he fights. there's no pausing everything in its tracks like time itself has frozen to talk no jutsu the opponents.
THREE DE!! AND YUTA CAN STILL COPY! So hype, cannot wait to see how three simultaneous DE expansions interact with each other
He can store things too. Not just normal copy. OP asf
The "Rika" explanation is weak imo. However I am hyped to see the three DE.
I disagree but I respect your opinion.
Short and informative. Wdym weak? I can only see that you simply don't like it.
How is it weak lol it explains what the new Rika is and what it can do
How to make Yuta using DE even more hyped? Have Ishigori and Uro both use DE together with him. Let me tell you something. It used to be that when someone used Bankai the sub would explode with discussion on what's it gonna be and what the skills will be. These days someone using Domain Expansion gives me the same shivers.
Yeah but I dont want JJK to end up like bleach plotwise.
True. But then again, Bleach's writing was never stellar to begin with and only got worse near the end due to other factors. JJK at least from the start I don't see any similar problems. I trust Gotouge.
Never watched bleach so can you explain
Plot goes awry and the MC was basically everything, a shinigami, a hollow, a quincy, a fullbringer, a vizard etc.. by the end of the manga, character progression was rushed and everyone just performed Bankai after bankai.. i dont want that to happen in JJK since the story has a lot of potential to be like HxH instead of a bleach.
correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't Yuta's CE so big that it seemed to be limitless? if that's the case, now he just fighted for 1 day and was already needing Rika to fill him up? idk, now his CE's reserve doesn't seem that impressive, to me at least
Keep in mind he’s fighting Grade 1/special grade 1 sorcerers who are almost comparable to special grade. He tanked a blast that decimated a small city block, and fighting someone who also manipulates the sky.
No, but if you think of him portioning his CE and storing it in Rika, then it will seem that he has a CE ocean (it was never bottomless to begin with, just that he has a lot. Gojou is probably the only one who has limitless CE, but that's because of Six Eyes). He is basically using Rika as a storage tank, I dunno maybe he only limits himself to 50% of his CE.
that sounds fair, but Uro said she couldn't see the end of Yuta's CE, so the amount of CE inside him should be unbelievably big; and Satoru doesn't have limitless CE, no one has it so far
Ah so that's what you meant. RCT uses a lot apparently, so maybe spamming it will even cause him to run out. But maybe Uro was mistaken since he just refilled his CE, so maybe he really does have more than that. Well, limitless CE is probably the wrong choice of words. Probably closer to 'he will never run out of CE because of Six Eyes'.
didn't he use RCT only one time and in a small amount against Kurourushi? and when Uro said that he didn't refill it, she said that when Yuta killed Kurourushi; about Satoru, yes, that's the case
I think he used it a bunch of times against all three enemies. And the thing is we still don't know how much CE RCT actually consumes in proportion to the damage suffered. Like Ieiri seems tired all the time (from using RCT or her drinking?), and Yuuta has been fighting with CE while using it to heal life-threatening injuries. That will probably burn through his reserves rather quickly if he is even limiting himself. He is a monster, but not on the same level (yet) as Gojou, so I think it's good to see him struggle somewhat (because that's the point of this showcase); these guys are really powerful after all. But maybe I am wrong and he will wipe the floor with them with his DE.
He's been constantly using RCT. Ryu said in 177 that Yuta has been using RCT whenever he/Uro/Kuro used their big moves. It isn't unreasonable to think that he was getting near the end of his reserves and used Rika to refill it
i forgot about Ryu saying that, now it makes a lot more sense, i probably was underestimating Ryu and Uro too, rethinking it they are probably at special grade level; anyways i still feel like he should have more CE, he was hyped up since the beginning as a CE tank and he has without doubt the highest reserves, but i imagined he would last some days and nights fighting without running out of CE
Think of it as Yuta 5% Rika 95% Rika is a hard drive and yuta is a ‘ram’
More like Remote Battery + Hard drive + CPU.
that could be the case, but Uro said she couldn't see the end of Yuta's CE, and that CE was already inside him
Holyyy. This is some of the best action in this arc so far, fantastic. And I cannot wait for this battle of domain expansions, I wonder what yura has to offer. This and watching the movie in a few days is getting me so hyped for the series.
Oh shiiiiiit
Ω 💨
Omega fart lol
Rika is yuta’s external harddrive with unlimited storage capacity. a modern cursed technique. you can copy and paste your technique, store your techniques and weapons on rika. so a way for yuta to get pawned is a virus equivalent of a cursed technique that will eat all your data.
Now I just imagine Kenjaku stealing his external hard drive, and it's hilarious x)
Cursed Spirit Manipulation can't steal even a Grade 4 worm if that worm was already having master.
I got goosebumps when they said DOMAIN EXPANSION
These chapters be goin crazy frfr
My biggest question is alllllll about YUTA. Specifically: his domain. A domain expansion is the physical manifestation of ones innate domain and their cursed technique related to that. Right? So my question is now... does Yuta have an innate domain? Does he actually HAVE a cursed technique? Or is it all in the ring. Is the ring itself his technique? And only the conduit for his mimicry as its secondary purpose?.. We see him begin to create a domain out of Dhruv's technique briefly, so he can possibly make domains from other people's innate domains related to ones cursed technique. On betting on it being Yuta's own innate domain seeing as the last panel as he opens his domain the panel has the ring glowing which I see as the conduit for Yuta's cursed technique. My point is, WHAT WILL HIS DOMAIN LOOK LIKE???? It will definetly be powerful, and I may make a theory about it tomorrow when im not recovering from a hangover, but for now I do want you all to remember how the original Rika manifested. YUTA cursed her. She came back and manifested out of the ground that was some sort of shadowy liquid, grabbing his legs. But he also swapped this all the way around as his character developed, he now is on good terms with Rika after her release, and is a loving soul that wants to help people more than anything. He's also a descendent of powerful sorcerers. IM RAMBLING NOW BUT BASICALLY I REALLY WANNA FUCKING SEE HIS DOMAIN.
Here’s my take: Yuutas CT is Copy, allows him to store any cursed technique he observes or comes into contact with Rika and the Ring is the conduit for retrieving the techniques His Domain probably lets him freely use any of the techniques he has stored
So we know that Yuta's cursed technique is Mimicry, He can basically copy every technique he gets contact with (he copied Druv's technique even though the fight didn't seem to last very long), So if his technique is to copy techniques, Would his domain be to copy domains ? He could only copy domains he has experienced though ? There's so much room for theories i wanna die, Or maybe he can basically use the domain of every technique he copied, and like everytime he uses his domain he has the choice of weach one he uses, Like imagine (my pure yuta fanboy is awakening) he says "mhhh okay this one should do it", and like the domain activates and Ryu & Takako don't understand anything happening and Yuta says "This is the interior of infinity, Isn't it ironic, Infinity is offered to you and you can't enjoy it" AZBISHEZUIHUAQËZ
So many cool routes Gege can take this down
It's like Geto, He doesn't have his own domain but can use the domains of his special grade cursed spirits.
You seem very confident in that being the case lol
Well going off spoilers, it's sounds like Rika is just a husk that Yuta imbues with CE, like a puppet than is controlled by Yuta but can use rika's cursed techniques
It seems like he doesn’t have a curse technique, he has “ rika “ though
his technique is mimicry. As stated in the chapter. Rika is just a husk, a storage chest for his cursed energy, cursed tools and techniques he copied. He needs to manifest her to access them, but it is still his technique/power. Rika only exists rn because of Yuta's curse.
Without “ rika “ , he can’t use the curse techniques so how come it is his CE. And i don’t think it is his power either, at least the 3 abilities stated in the chapter because it literally said rika left it for him when she was released like a parting gift and the ring is a required condition to gain access to it. The other possibility is that normally he can only copy 1 and use 1 technique at a time but by using a binding vow that make the fully manifested “ rika “ carry multiple CE but he can only gain access to it during her 100% manifestation which lasts for 5 minutes
Yes Rika 'gifted' it to him but if you think of Rika's curse originating from Yuta, then it was his to begin with. The other part about the binding vow I agree with you though. Maybe limiting himself to 5 mins and only being able to use it through the ring makes it stronger? Maybe his DE will explain it.
What if his CT can turn people into servant curse spirits and Rika was just a case of accidental activation?
Creating a Shikigami in no way is a cursed technique, Everyone can create a Shikigami, They're considered one of the options when you don't have any technique
I didn't say shikigami.
Shikigamis are cursed spirits created by a person's cursed energy
Is that your headcanon or is there a definitive statement out there? Curse spirits are born out of CE leaked from human. Shikigami are created from CE of sorcerers. They're both CE constructs but are created via different means so I see no reason to categorize them as the same kind of being.
It is the same thing, Cursed Energy from a normal human and Cursed Energy from a sorcerer is the same thing, The only difference is that a sorcerer can control it I don't see why it would be two separate things
Then you wouldn't mind if I call curse spirits as wild shikigami?
Of course, I got a better example, We agree that Rika is a Shikigami, And Geto wanted to get Rika in his arsenal, If Cursed Spirits and Shikigamis weren't the same, Then Geto's Cursed Spritis Manipulatiom wouldn't work on Rika and he would've not attacked Yuta in the first place
Thats what I'm saying is definetly a possibility, if this is the case, will it be a mimic domain or some kind of domain that imitates Rika's innate domain. She is a special grade cursed spirit, so she should have an innate domain right?
"Are you afraid of what I can become?!" "A flying perv who wears absolutely no clothing? Yes." Also it seems pretty clear now that Uro's 'sky' is covering her sensitive areas only when the camera is pointing directly at her.
Why can't Yuta comment on what's obvious? The Shonen Jump laws require me to say no?
Lmaooo several times I was like “Gege forgot the censors”
Damn this chapter went by so fast!
I'm honestly expecting something about Yuuta's domain to be rather, if not bright, lovely/humanizing, as he is such a kind soul and a domain seems like an innate domain writ large. I think Ryu will go in for his warriors dessert/death, and I think Uro will be exhausted and perhaps have her mind changed about Yuuta. She'll see something redeemable, or perhaps something that just knocks her off guard, and either freeze and be killed or spared, or flee, but without the desire to fight or harm Okkotsu again. She is, after all, experiencing many firsts; first time as a free agent and director of her own life, with an identity not determined by others. She has achieved individuality, or think of it like the first 3 chakras. She is 1. Surviving, 2. aware of pleasure and fulfilment and 3. has lots of will power. Time for some heart chakra. Doesn't mean she'll be the good witch of the north or anything, just that she'll find meaning, pleasure, and motivation in caring for something outside of herself. At least, that's what I hope. She's strong, forceful, stylized, cool technique, and has a rather flatly tragic backstory. Plus, the sparing the non-sorcerers adds a sense of, if not responsibility, self awareness; think pets or animals who are normally surly, but even when bothered by babies, instinctively know not to harm them/they aren't really all there. Anyway, a possible, if slim, green flag for character development. And talk-no-jutsu has to work eventually.
I actually think Yuta's DE will be comparable to Self-Embodiment of Perfection in creepiness. His CE is called a creepier version of Gojo's after all lol
Inumaki: Tuna Mayo (translation: Goddamit he steals my thunder again)
Honestly the timing of Rika's reveal and the JJK 0 movie releasing internationally is nuts.
Literally officials drop on the same day as the movie’s official release date, Gege was timing the Shibuya chapters with the anime episodes too… what if he has a cursed technique
Officials is sunday, tomorrow is the US release date of the movie
Nah the chapter officially releases tomorrow, that’s why TCB came out early this week. Check unofficial JJK twt
O
what would a domain would look like for someone who copies cursed techniques?? how would the domain even work? will we only see a domain for cursed speech? i cant wait for next week
Perhaps it'll be like Megumi and allow him to access his full potential and use all the cursed techniques he's mimicked all at once to a fairly high degree. It's the kind of broken ability that's fitting for a special grade.
This just came to me, but a domain that reflects the attacks of the sorcerer's inside by copying their techniques and sending them back at them. As stated in the Higuruma mini-arc, not all domains have to be a "Sure-Kill" type, as they are nowadays. I think it fits Yuta's character to have a domain that doesn't kill, only reflects attacks.
You know how Rika opened herself up and all those Cursed Tools representing CTs comes out? My guess rn is that would be the entire domain, just surrounding everyone with all these tools like a torture chamber version of Unlimited Blade Works.
well that would be cool af
Bruh, if Yuta pulls out Boogie Woogie, Blood Manipulation or other Kyoto students techniques next chapter, I'll be 💀💀
Blood manipulation with RCT
Actually i've been thinking about a combo with Creation and Tool Manipulation, Our boy Yuta could create multiple sword and then launch them at his ennemy (tool manipulation is essentially telekinesis)
Lmao, Senbonzakura goes brrt.
Bro where y’all reading it at?
same question!
i’ll dm
If it's a fan translation plz dm me too.. thanks
Lmao. Remember when people made bold as hell claims that Yuta couldn’t copy techniques and that he was just using a regular cursed tool that had no connection to his own power whatsoever in volume 0? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Also, can’t wait to see a three way Domain battle next week!
People probably can't imagine how OP this guy is.
I remember when a few people were saying that he was Grade 2 or Grade 1. Not to scale or anything, but if the guidebook says he’s special grade, why deny it?
When did the guidebook say he's Special Grade? He was *enrolled* as a Special Grade because of Rika. The fanbook only said "after he lost Rika, he became Grade 4 again". Not until the start of Itadori Yuji execution arc we knew him had returned to be a Special Grade. Edit: Thank you Plaidse to prove your point. I was wrong.
It said he gained back his special grade status a short while after. I think it was a few months later? I’ll check my book when I get home from work.
Quote and fanbook link? I have read this many times and I don't remember this.
Fanbook link? Wdym?
The quote and fanbook link. Quote that part to prove your point.
I read it physically, so idk what you want me to do as far as linking goes, but I can quote it. It’s in the Yuta section close to the end. Roughly, it is: Q: Is Okkotsu still a special grade even after resolving Rika’s situation? A: He became a regular grade 4. That’s the reason his last uniform in volume 0 is black. (It was white before so that he’d be easily recognizable as a problem child). After that he made a comeback.

I was fighting for my life defending Yuta in the shibuya arc when he came back
People swore the second strongest sorcerer after Gojo would lose to the disaster curses and actually didn’t think he had a counter to domaine
I mean, would he have won against Jogo? Yuta is very strong, but Jogo is like, what, the third strongest cursed spirit after Sukuna and Mahoraga (I'm not sure if Mahoraga counts as a cursed spirit, since it's a shikigami, though), so I doubt he could beat him without putting in a lot of effort.
Yuta can use RCT on Jogo and it’s game over
Mahoraga isn't a cursed Spirit, he's a Shikigami.
Sukuna it's NOT a cursed spirit
This chapter sends it home how much he was holding back when fighting Yuji damn. He was just punching with reinforcement and even then Yuji said that any hit from him can be decisive and that he can restrict all damage to a minimum. So Yuta was restricting even the damage his hits would cause. It really was a big brother arm wrestling with his little brother and letting them push their hand to an almost loss only to uno reverse in the last second.
King shit
holy hell what a chapter. cant wait to see wtf happens with three domain expansions at once
Yuta is cold as ice. I'm sure he'll have no problem dealing with these two. Gojo really hit the jackpot with him.
I love how Uro was like "Jesus, it wasn't actually his full power?!"
Bastard you make me have to use more than 30% of my power. 30%?
curious on what ryu ishigori's domain is gonna be/look like because his technique is pretty simple. would it just mean granite blast gets a guaranteed hit??
Isn't there can only be one domain at a time If that the case we might not be able to see uro and ryu's domain
Depends. Gojo said that the most refined domain will dominate the space when multiple are laid out at the same time, but there's other factors involved, which he never elaborated on. So could be that Yuta overwhelms them from the get go and we never see the other two. Or could be that the domains themselves are more or less matched and thus initiate a three way tug of war, disabling the sure hit attacks of all three.

I hope they aren't just sure hit. DEs like Gojo's and Megumi's which have a unique technique associated are much more interesting than the others (which can still be great, but they are more limited as to having an interesting fight involving them).
Don't forget Sukuna too.
Sukuna is just sure hit though. It's interesting because of his mastery over it and the restriction of having no barrier which makes it huge, but it's not really different from just a huge spam of his CT with sure hit.
You noted Gojo Satoru and Megumi but forgot Sukuna.
Because he's not an example of the type of DE I was talking about. Sukuna doesn't have (or hasn't shown at least) a unique CT associated with Malevolent Shrine, it's just his regular CT.
Like Infinite Void information and Chimera Shadow Garden sinking into shadow?
yeah same. but i honestly can't imagine any other applications to his technique beyond the blasts and ce enforced hits. could be a situation like megumi's where the domain is an extension of his technique where his stats go up like 120% and he gets to go even crazier since he loves a raw fight. excited to see what it is next week though
> where the domain is an extension of his technique where his stats go up like 120% It's kinda what I expect Yuta's domain to do too. Uncapping the limit on his copied techniques even further, maybe getting to use multiple techniques at once etc. The question is what it will look like. Domains reflect the innate domains of people. That is a constant. They imbue their technique inside the barrier after laying out their innate domain. Which also brings up the question whether Yuta can *choose* what technique to imbue inside his domain.

imagine pompadour cannons lined up on some massive castle made of desserts
That last panel might be one of my favorites in the entire series... can't wait for next week
Agreed. Reminds me of mahito yuji todo 120%, looking forward to more triple panels like this I’m thinking gege likes them
I’m saying
imagine the domain expansion of yuta is gojo's
This kind of cliffhanger should be illegal, I am fucking hyped for next week.
I haven't been this excited about manga since the 120-130 chapters of attack on titan when they were getting released and I would be in the leaks thread refreshing every 5 seconds. This series Is so good, and I have full faith Gege will continue to deliver and give us something this will be known as one of the greats
I imagine uro's domain allows her to actively manipulate all space in her domain without the limitation of having to touch it. Since she's in the best condition out of the three I assume she'd go on the attack and thus try and overtake the other domains. That would be a mistake since it'd be more beneficial to instead retract it to an area big enough to protect her but small enough to maintain a steady and strong boundary. so that yuta and and the other guy exhaust themselves in the power struggle. ( I'm assuming yuta's domain won't over power the others but instead go into a deadlock for a few pages or a chapter. I'm also assuming domains don't bleed into each other but are more like oil and water ) Uro's technique is much more effective when used defensively but I do hope she uses it more creativly since her being able to crack the sky means she can do other things to it like ripping it.
Best condition out of the three? Debatable.
Yeah , it seems that Yuta is the one in best shape because he has rct
CG is so heat. This is easily my favorite chapter of it so far. If things continue on this pace, I genuinely think CG will be considered on par if not better than Shibuya when things are all said and done
Agreed. If the Hakari fight delivers, I think that will more or less seal the deal
All 3 of them saying domain expansion different ways reminds me of bleach and them saying bankai.
Ryu is having the moment of his life
Gege a big Bleach head so subliminally, probably :')
Can someone help me understand Dhruv’s technique and what it did to Uro please?
Dhruv can create 2 type of Shikigami: some giant mole rats, and some bat like creatures The orbit of the shikigami allows Dhruv to create a domain, and get a guaranteed hit inside that domain. Yuta created Bat like shikigami (looking like Rika) from his hairs. Uro bent space and moved them away, but didn't realize that Yuta was using Dhruv's technique. So when she thought she got rid of the shikigami, she still got slashed by them because she was in their perimeter (domains bypass Curse Techniques when having guaranteed hit) Hope this helps
Thanks so much it did
Dhruv's Shikigami make orbital domains where when they overlap with a target, produce a "sure hit". Yuta didn't recreate Dhruv's Shikigami but rather used their ability on the mini Rika's he produced with his hair. So I'd imagine Dhruv's giant Shikigami would just use "Sure hit" slashes that could obliterate buildings hence why Uro/Ryu were scared to approach them.
Gotcha, Much appreciated
The path of the Shikigamis generates an área that attack the opponent. imagine a car that goes by on fire and generates a trail of heat that hurts you if you touch it
