Anyone else reminded of Sukuna's black box and Megumi's shadow storage from the way Rika is able to store cursed techniques? It looks like she stores them in a pocket dimension of sorts.

I think we're all glad that Megumi/Yuji didn't pick the Sendai colony since this is where the real OG's reside. The fact that the strongest dude in that colony was a modern sorcerer is a godsend. If Reggie had been on the level of any of the Sendai reincarnations Megumi would have died horribly.

Also I suspected it would be the case but glad we got to see how Dhruv's technique worked. About what I imagined with unblockable path in the air since the domain would negate any other techniques within their path

Viz Chapter is out as well. https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/jujutsu-kaisen-chapter-178/chapter/24140?action=read

Seeing Dhurv's technique in action it makes sense why Uro and Kurourushi thought it was a bad match up.

Yeah, given the size of the his Shikigami he had the equivalent of the great wall of china around him. And like Yuta he could probably deploy smaller simple shikigami as well for close range fights.

They talk about it a bit in the last chapter, but my understanding is that the original Rika was a girl that got possessed by Yuta's technique, but now this Rika is just his technique without being used to accidentally possess a little girl

0 was in a different magazine, and was added to the app later than the core series in a separate category. I can see missing it.

I think the fan translation is more clear than Viz on this one. Yuta's curse technique is probably just copy like the sky woman suspects, but Rika left behind a fragment of her power that Yuta can tap into for up to 5 minutes and use as storage. He must have a heavenly restriction or something keeping him from using Copy on his own but makes up for it with his monstrous amount of cursed energy.

I knew jjk0 existed but i never got around to reading it. The last year has introduced so many characters and mechanics, i stopped closely following and just read week to week vaguely keeping up but not really understanding everything. When Yuta comes into the main story I just sort of accepted he was an as-of-yet unrevealed student but they really glossed over his details for some reason. Now a lot of that makes a lot more sense, and im rereading the culling game arc so far to refresh my point of view

what horror the gas

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, I didn't catch chapter 0 in the manga, but I watched the movie yesterday. I had read up on who the guy was in the wiki beforehand though.

My partner knows literally nothing about JJK and loved the movie so I'm gonna start her on the series soon, should be fun.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

my understanding of what's going on wrt Rika is that the actual soul of the person Rika Orimoto left for the afterlife at the end of JJK0, but the energy that made up her form as a curse was left behind and has been sustained by Yuta's absolutely obscene amount of power, and he's incorporated this vessel into his cursed technique as a way to increase his area of effect to do poo poo.

I finished the movie and then "wait, poo poo, why does he still have Rika then" also, but this makes sense. the curse was Yuta's, after all, it didn't come from Rika

A sign that Uro is out of cursed energy after the domain expansion attempt is that she's unable to maintain her technique to cover herself up. Gege thinking of everything

No, it's explained in this this chapter and was brought up by Gojo early on. Right after using a domain people aren't able to use their own cursed techniques effectively. That's why both Yuta and Uro aren't able to do so but it's a caveat that Ryu is always on full blast whether using his technique or not so he's unaffected by this delay.

Honestly it feels more like a Heavenly Restriction than a cursed technique. Trading the use of a technique for the ability to throw around cursed energy way harder than anyone else.

Wonder if a third Kurourushi will attack.

Anyway Uro is not dead there was not points announcement. But she is probably out of the fight. Yuta might heal her in exchange for her points.

Well they were introduced as Megumi's Supporting Cast as Yuji has yet to meet them.
