Oh no, Itadori is only as strong as an Itadori without cursed energy! Which is to say stronger than like 99.9999% of things that exist in the world.

Electric Phantasm posted:I'm really into this This feels like a return to form for Gege. Wasn't feeling the last mini-arc with the Zenin massacre and the leadup to Tenzen was also a bit lukewarm. But murder prosecutor is 100% my jam and I hope he sticks around long enough to drop a massive Gavel on someone. Also neat look into the history of domain expansions. I take it there were a lot of gimmicky ones in play in the past like the Judgeman one but people thought that was lame when you could just throw infinite [insert element/object here]. But I wonder if Megumi's counts as an old school Domain Expansion since chimera playground doesn't seem to have a sure-kill attack but rather just augments his already present ability to summon shikigami + shadow travel

MonsterEnvy posted:Megumi stated his was incomplete as it does not even have the sure-hit let alone sure kill remembering that let me rephrase my point. Meguro's DE as it is now isn't up to modern standards but I don't think that's to his detriment since he really doesn't need one given his current capabilities. Best case a sure-hit attack would just be like Dagon's, overwhelming his opponent with sheer number of shikigami. But Dagon's DE didn't do much else besides double as a beach resort for his crew. Megumi's DE by lacking a sure kill might still provide him the flexibility to enforce interesting rules like "stepping on shadows acts as sink holes for both parties" and he can create more terrain advantage instead of devoting effort to ensuring his attacks always land. He already dabbed on a special grade curse with just his "incomplete" DE.

He already dabbed on a special grade curse with just his "incomplete" DE. Dagon's Domain also just provided a passive boost to his abilities. Along with allowing him to summon stupid numbers of Shikigami swarms. The Sure-hit made it dangerous as the Shikigami did not exist until they already tore chunks out of you. Still you are correct that Megumi's incomplete domain is still useful, as it serves as a domain defense and turns off the sure-hit of other Domains, along with the extra Shikigami summons. Though it was not his domain alone that let him beat the Fingerbearer. He faked his death by hiding in the shadows and deactivating his domain, before having Divine Dog Totality stab it because it was offguard. (Knowing the attack would work, cause it worked on Hanami an even stronger Special Grade.)

We've been getting a pretty steady stream of minor antagonists these past few chapters and all of them have been loving stellar. Judgman having a mini court session and judging you for past crimes is a lot more fun than just weighing sins. And I like that we're getting to see more of Yuji's past and how he was a good kid but wasn't a good kid. Sometimes you wanna break the rules a lil!

Guessing Higuruma will actually defend Yuji here and say that Sukuna was the killer, not him.

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

I don't think that Judgeman will ultimately be the entity to deliver the Death Penalty, I think that responsibility will fall on Higurama and he'll be the one to hesitate delivering the killing blow. It would be fitting given the past chapter's exposition on how old domains work that even a death penalty is not a "sure kill" technique in this situation.

Yeah for sure he's gonna see the evidence the Judge provides and just not give the killing blow. I love it when this series fires on all cylinders.

So good. "I want a retrial" is way more cinematic and impactful than "I want to redo it a second time!" from the fan translation.

yum posted:So good. "I want a retrial" is way more cinematic and impactful than "I want to redo it a second time!" from the fan translation. It's weird the fan translation went with that, "I want a retrial" seems like the most obvious translation choice just by what follows. Granted I don't know what the original Japanese says and retrials might not be as well known as I think they are.

I think even if the fan translation is more accurate to the original Japanese, you'd want to use retrial anyways as it's not nearly as clunky and would have more impact for your english speaking audience. JJK's the one manga where I actively avoid the fan translation since the dialogue is so good and some of the concepts can already be hard to wrap your head around.

I wonder if Higuruma is going to start defending Yuji from his own domain, cause the dude is legit shook by what Yuji said and he's not easily shook. It would be pretty fun, a defense attorney who's given up on the judicial system defending his own opponent from his own power.

Technically Choso and Itatori are from other mothers, because Choso's dad is Itadori's mom.

He’ll be in the same situation as before, defending an innocent person against an unjust sentence. Going against your own technique probably has severe consequences.

This is definitely reading too much into things, but I wonder if the description for how Higuruma developed his sorcery skills (working backwards) is literally the concept for his creation, in that Gege wanted to engineer a situation in which Itadori has to face judgment for what Sukuna did while in his body, so Gege came up with the whole trial domain thing, and worked backwards from there to create the character of Higuruma. Just a fun thought.
