I’ll admit domain amplification has always confused me. My understanding is: You create an empty barrier for your opponent’s CT to fill in, which neutralizes it. But in reality, wouldn’t you just be creating a free domain expansion for your opponent? You’ve just provided them a free barrier, and it’s filled with their CT.

I'm not sure I'd put that all the blame on the localizers. I read it in Japanese (I buy the volumes as they're released so I'm slightly behind the thread) and I feel Gege's dialogue can be just a little bit obtuse at times?

The tcbscans translation dropped a little while ago.

The fight will be wrapping up in the next few chapters, I think. I'm hoping Gojo has a way around Mahoraga because it would suck for him to get killed by a walking plot device, but it seems like Sukuna is going to probably come out on top.

Very funny to see Backflash showing up after all the discussion on this thread.Gege didn't forget!

I also really hope Mahoraga isn't the insta win button it's being presented as. I still want to know how the hell it ended up being a part of the 12 Shadows technique too.

i agree, the fight feels like it's coming to a climax. i'm thinking gojo mulches mahoraga but sukuna ultimately wins with us getting another glimpse of his unknown ability or abilities or whatever.
maybe he'll say a triangle this time instead of a square.

I thought that was funny after the past weeks discussing it, Gojo just lets it rip.

I think Gojo can still handle Mahoraga because even if it adapts, Sukuna could still injure/kill it with his own Cleave CT back in Shibuya even though Mahoraga did adapt to it on some level.

Gojo can probably kill Mahoraga with Red like he originally planned to especially now that he is in the zone, but he no longer has the luxury of invincibility. It might take all he can to get a clean shot to destroy Mahoraga, and Sukuna might use that opportunity to recover and hit back with a black flash of his own to close out the fight.

Before Sukuna even recovers though, it sounds like the perfect time for your Friendly Neighborhood Kenjaku to show up and poo poo on both of their parades!

Yeah, it's looking bleak, although Sukuna seems like he's gonna be somewhat running on empty himself when it's done. The rest of the gang need to get ready to jump him. That said, Gojo can literally teleport, why doesn't he use that to get space for himself to charge up Hollow Purple? We saw Mahoraga and Sukuna both move extremely quickly at Shibuya but surely that's better than trying to charge it up in the middle of a 3v1 melee.

Gojo can't teleport, he just can compress space and coordinates, and when describing his teleportation preparations during the flashback arc, he made it clear there need to be no obstacles to be able to do it.

Only good things will come

So that’s how you’re “supposed” to defeat Marohaga as a 10 Shadows user, you combine your previous Shikigami to overwhelm it with a variety of attacks.

I like to imagine Sukuna summoning a mini elephant in between his hands when he’s borrowing its powers for the piercing blood-like attack.

It's so sad that this manga is being closed out so fast. It's dope, don't get me wrong. But drat. There is so much to explore. I assume given the popularity though that we are going to get a million spin-offs.

I'm honestly not seeing JJK finishing anytime soon anyway. There are still a lot of character arcs that have to come to some kind of conclusion and a lot of stuff that was foreshadowed early that has to come into play.

Given what's been going on in Hero Academia for over a year now; sometimes it's better to end quickly with a direct plan of action.

Just out of curiosity I checked the latest chapters on mangaplus. I'm going to say it All might should have died during the Bakugou rescue arc and went out like White Beard or something. I don't really what has led to this point since the USA hero came and jobbed, but there was a shark and the story jumped it long ago.
