Hmmm
I dont like the turn with Tsumiki, there was no lead up to it and it doesnt feel 'earned'. Its an overly cruel fate to deal to the siblings and it doesnt sit well with me at all. not to mention that the entire first part of the culling game arc was all to save tsumiki, and the rug pull hurts.

Sukuna's play however, weve had that hanging over our heads for so drat long now and this is what it turns out to be.
this complete swerve, goddamn you maginificent bastard, sukuna

they set up angel for a reason, I think they're gonna try and separate megumi and his sister from their incarnations in spite of the risk

is Angel dead or did he just choke her out? Whatever happens he’s not gonna leave her alive, she’s the only one who can stop him or bring Gojo out now.

He can't kill or harm anyone but doesn't stop him from figuring out another way. That or Angel isn't strong enough to actually do anything to him with him free so he doesn't have to care besides taking the backend so they can't unseal geto. I hope comedy man comes to the rescue.

I'm not exactly sure why Sukuna waited until this very moment to pull that off. Was it because of the entry/exit rule? Anyone most of the plot has been lost to me since the Culling Game began, I'm mostly following out of vibes (and they have been mostly good so far) lol

I think he may know who that person is, and wants to fight them. Can't do that while he's only got a minute.

he just needed to knock her out (somehow that doesn't count as hurting) for long enough to steal megumi's body, where he's no longer bound by that restriction

also idk was the vow clearer in the japanese, because 'not hurting anyone' surely should include himself too?

as to why sukuna finally made his move - kenjaku having captured tengen and seemingly being ready to start the merger seems to be the most likely cause? or something about who yorozu is? idk

Did Megumi come to a relevation after his near death fight with Reggie and complete his domain? Maybe he demonstrated something with his technique when the soldiers attacked that indicated he's mastered it or something which was noticed by Sukuna. That was a huge reason for grooming him in the first place. I wonder why Sukuna can't develop the 10 shadows technique himself while in Megumi's body.

The real answer is Sukuna's a massive dick and loves making a bad situation worse

What does this mean for Yuji, now that Sukuna is out of him? Is he even able to use Jujutsu?

he thought quoting borges would make him popular
I guess you could make an argument either way -- either he reverts to how he was before (enhanced physical abilities but can't see spirits, can't use black flash and other techniques, etc.), or his exposure to Sukuna set off an irreversible change in him (or released a latent ability). I'd guess it's probably the latter given Yuji's familial history.

We still don't really know if any of Sukuna is still with Yuji or not, for all we know Sukuna is now capable of placing tokens in sorcerers so he can use who he wants when he wants. We know from the start of the story he can split himself into lots of parts, but where he choses to manifest may still be variable?

This poo poo is so good.

Sukuna specifically said he had a big plan involving Megumi. I think he knew about Megumi's sister. The minute she's revealed, it's confirmed he can do "his plan" whatever that involves.

This is where the rough art kinda makes it hard for me to notice that right off despite it being something I feel I should have.

I'll also cop to not entirely grasping the mechanics of whats happening in this manga all the time, but the vibes and flow are all cool and good like someone else said.

e: VVV i think that is what i was getting at and I think that remains to be seen, but the databooks says otherwise soooo!

The minute of guaranteed possession is up though so it's still an open question as to whether only a single instance of Sukuna is allowed to exist despite him having 20 fingers at maximum out in the wild, and if he can transfer himself in this manner.

Going by the databook only a single instance of him can exist.

Is that about how many instances of him can be present in the real world at one time or about how many places his soul can reside if isn't as a cursed object?

I'm still trying to square that with the fact he split his power/soul into 20 digits/pieces and any one of them can cause the possession.

I'm guessing Megumi being emotionally unstable right now from his "sister's" betrayal made him easier to possess or something.

The “eating sukuna finger million and 1 chance to possess the host” could have been A) Jujutsu elders spreading rumors to prevent sukuna from existing or B) a legit thing, but now Sukuna has better control of his soul. B seems most likely, and as the transfer could happen since yuji has eaten most of the fingers. Or maybe that sukuna is conscious and can control his soul.

Also considering death paintings/reincarnated players/etc, I would assume Jujutsu elders were certainly withholding info from most sorcerers.

Also also “the soul” is references a bunch and we still don’t FULLY understand the mechanisms. Considering this is a rulesfight book, I think we will get a good mechanic explanation shortly.

Sukuna's also shown a weird amount of interest in Megumi from the start, whatever quality of him that drew Sukuna's attention could also have been that he possessed a body that could withstand incarnation.

Also now's a good time to act for Sukuna since Yuji was about to let Angel kill them both.

Sukuna can choose his vessel, anyone can be a vessel if he decides it. Yuji is special because he can suppress Sukuna against Sukuna's will.

Does Sukuna have any use for Yuji now? Not that I think the main character is gonna eat it, but Yuji still seems to be the first in line to get shredded. Also real good face of despair at the end there.
