HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

His shell monster form was lame so if we get a "final battle" and Maki fucks up this human form in his domain that will be good.

when you think about it, her restriction is "fox only/no items/final destination," except the destination is your grave

I am sorry. I have no vices for you to exploit.

The art was rough this chapter. The panel with katana man looking over his shoulder seemed comically disproportionate. Normally the chaotic paneling is a vibe but it didn't work for me much this time around, it was hard to follow what was happening.

It was kinda hard to follow for a chapter in this series which usually has really readable action.

I feel like there’s bigger implications with time slowing down in a vowless domain but gege probably won’t touch on it again for another 16 months

I notice that Katana guy still has Maki's sword. He's just going to keep it and Maki will forget until she later realizes that she never got it back.

SUMO

he’s clearly good at sizing up his opponents so they’d probably get a fun sumo 101 lesson instead of messy death

Well his power is having normal sumo matches at high speed. All Jujutsu and Cursed Energy is nullified in his ring. (But you have to agree so it’s not a very strong ability for taking out a foe)

He loves doing sumo, he's not doing sumo to win.

He's great, these two dumbasses were my intro to the series, and I love them enough that I've been going back and reading earlier chapters, though I haven't quite committed from the beginning yet.

Isn't that the sword that Mai made for Maki with her dying breath.

I sorta do not think Maki would be willing to part with her Mai Sword forever.

It being made via Mai's cursed energy might also explain why the sword was resistant to being wielded by the katana guy at first.

It takes a bit of time to get its bearings and get to where it is
But the point it does is when the manga says:

"No sorceror is 'normal', theyre all weirdo sickos"

gently caress yeah :unsmigghh:

now we know why Toji was the ultimate sorceror killer. gently caress yeah maki, finally ran out of Zen'ins to kill.
Also drat nice foreshadowing of this ability with how maki was able to pass the colony barriers since domains are advanced barrier techniques.

wonder what and whos next

so domains that seem mostly about self-buffs like Hakari's would also be effective in a fight against Maki, i'd guess

having a ‘you move you die’ domain is pretty busted even among busted domains

now that these two new dudes are halfway dead maki has to go in now with the power-up, it’s just a question of where she shows up after leaving here

Its not like the domain is an actual instant kill domain anyways it just seems aggressively good, because you get frozen if you can't match his movements which makes you easy to kill for sure.

This fight was just a explanation/justification for Maki getting a big power up, but it was fun seeing Naoya getting owned again.

I wonder though, if these fights were basically the arc, or if this is just the setup, and now we're gonna go into the meat of the story.

Yeah it just turns his ability from “You get frozen if you don’t move a certain way” to “Your body gets torn to shreds if you don’t move a certain way”, which while very strong isn’t quite an instant win

not sad to see projection sorcery probably gone forever at least until kenjaku does it one time as a fun kill prank

maybe seeing it animated will make it seem cool

This bugged me because IIRC the explanation was something like "a bunch of your cells are frozen, so when you move they don't and just rip you up" but in practice this would just instantly kill you (or at least cause fatal injuries + brain damage) instead of just giving you a bunch of superficial bleeding wounds.

Like if you're going to get really specific with the description like that, the effects should at least be consistent with it.[/spoiler]

I mean that is true of most shonen battle injuries even in the best of times, let alone the crazy poo poo that happens in JK.

i mean kappa took one step and definitely almost died and i think the samurai just let his whole arm come off to get the sword back to maki, not really superficial

Watched JJK 0 for the first time last night now that it's on Crunchyroll, I hadn't read the manga for it either. Liked it a tonne, also was surprised how different true Geto was compared to Kenjaku Geto. He's just much more playful than he is as Kenjaku. Not that he isn't a bit goofy in the main storyline but much less so imo. For people who read 0 before the Shibuya stuff was it obvious there was something different about him? Or just assumed it was because 0 despite being first and canon was maybe not set in stone how everything would be?

Film whipped rear end anyway.

It seemed relatively obvious to me because he was acting different and also had the giant fuckoff scar.
