I wish that the ancient sorcerers didn't have modern knowledge because imagine the mindfuck of someone learning about video pachinko with no frame of reference.

It seems he gets to keep the boost from a Jackpot for a time.

Despite this cool entrance I am betting on Kashimo for the victor.

Same. There was a page or two back during the planning where Itadori asked about her, and the fact that the answer wasn't actually shown tells me she's probably coming back. It's just surprising it hasn't happened yet, I guess.

I could be extremely wrong, but I think it would be really weird if she didn't come back at some point.

Maybe her soul will be put into one of the cursed corpse things like Panda. Suddenly a talking frog standing on two legs will appear - it is Nobara, who has escaped death through having her soul implanted into a frog puppet.

Yeah the fact that Kashimo is looking for Sukuna feels like they are being set up to deal with Yuji not to lose out here. I still want Hakari to win and amn't sold on him being beaten here too but definitely not confident he'll win.

I'm still not sure if Kashmo's charges are CE and RCE yet or just electrical charges using technique, I guess that will become clearer later. If the former I wonder if a good sorcerer could nullify the charge to avoid the sure hit.

Also if Kashimo is being set up to fight Itadori then he will definitely need to finally pull out either his own or Sukuna's technique because he has nothing in the tank to deal with her that Hakari doesn't. Black flashes won't mean a whole lot against the lightning or if he can't land them.

I wonder if she's still being held in suspension by that Kyoto school guy's ability but that they can't heal her even with Ieiri's power. I think it would be cool if Nobara healed herself while in a coma by figuring out RCE like Gojo did. Would also be a good way to boost her abilities on her return

It does not have anything to do with RCT or RCE. It's just a part of Electricity. He can manipulate it to only implant a positive charge into what he hits, so the Negative charge he releases will seek and hit the Positive one.

Itadori 100% does not have his own Technique. Gojo with his Six Eyes confirmed he did not, and Higuruma's Technique took his Cursed Energy because he lacked one. Also pretty certain Yuji will never inherit Sukuna's Technique because it would have come up by now if he would have.

I re-read Shibuya just a few days ago (still so insanely good) and the dude's ability was that he can't fix health issues or stop new ones but whatever they already have won't get worse right? So she is basically stuck just on the wrong side of being dead, which is barely dead at all! Therefore she'll be fine and we'll know it when a giant person-sized nail hits someone in the face.

That was my initial reading too and I still think it's more likely the correct one. The final explanation of the power makes it sound more ambiguous though, specifically "Kashimo separates the cursed energy's charges like electricity". I still think it's probably just electrical polarity though.

He doesn't have one yet for sure but no time like the present to develop one. We've seen him grow explosively in a lot of fights. He also has a lot more Sukuna in him post Shibuya than he did before hand. Gojo also pretty explicitly states he will get Sukuna's cursed technique. I checked that Tumblr someone linked earlier of translation problems in the official release and it mentions the page just before this having an issue but doesn't say anything about this panel. I also tried to check the scanlation sites for current chapters linked in the thread but their old chapter archives are just rips of the official English volume release.

I think Yuji definitely should have the skill and capacity for a technique by now so he just needs the opportunity to develop it.



e: If you're just arguing that Gege is not going to do that rather than it was never said then I still don't agree. I don't think we're never going to get a technique from Yuji or he'll have basically hit his skill cap already. As we've seen no skill at all I still think Sukuna's is the most likely. Also considering just how devastating Sukuna's is it makes sense for Gege to hold off giving him something that strong.

I feel like if anything what'd be stopping Yuji from using any of Sukuna's techniques is the immense guilt he feels for all those people Sukuna pureed back in Shibuya.

You don’t develop a Cursed Technique. You either have one or you don’t.

I know about Gojo saying Yuji would inherit Sukuna’s Technique, I just think he’s wrong like he has been about most things Sukuna. If Yuji were to get it, I think it would have been mentioned again or showed signs of happening before now.

Edit: Yuji has not entirely hit his Skill cap, Kusakabe is a Sorcerer with no Innate Technique, so Yuji could always follow in his footsteps and learn Simple Domain.

People are born with them. Stuff like limitless or Megumi's shadow beasts are non bloodline things. Or people are just born with new ones like presumably Hakari due to how modern his is. It just means you won't suddenly get one if you don't have it from birth.

You are born with them, it’s why Gojo said being a Sorcerer is 80% innate talent. Cursed Techniques first manifest when the user is around 4 years old (unless the person is not built to be a sorcerer in which case they normally never show up).

I mean that's true generally but the entire culling game is predicated on the fact that Kenjaku was able to create sorcerers from normal people in two ways. By turning them into vessels or by manipulating their brainstems with idol transfiguration. Obviously that's not normal or something that will be happening a lot, but Yuji isn't fundamentally different than all the old timey sorcerers in the culling game. The difference is the person he's sharing a body with can't just overrule him like all the others. Yuji also had no cursed energy until he consumed the finger which means the cursed energy he has cultivated and controlled now is presumably also coming from Sukuna. Gojo has been wrong about stuff I'm sure but I don't see any reason to assume that he's not correct here especially with everything else we've seen.

I considered Yuji could get simple domain if he doesn't get a technique but that isn't a big leap up in power from where he is now. It stops domains instagibbing him for sure but it doesn't really make him any better off in basically any fight we've seen. Kusakabe is good for sure but I expect Yuji to be out of his league.

Also this discussion just generally reminds me that we don't know what Sukuna's actual technique is, so I'm excited to find that out too as time goes on. If Kashimo wins here and gets to see Sukuna maybe we'll find out then
