She appears in Yorozu's flashback (and man were we robbed of those two interacting at all) and looks identical to her modern appearance so could be either way. Leaning towards 'just old' because other reincarnated sorcerers like Kashimo don't look like their old selves.

I'm still not sure who Uraume is or why they keep popping up beyond being Sukuna's buddy.

That is Uraume's entire shtick. They're Sukuna's favorite chef, and therefore useful to him, so they get to live.

(They specialize in Long Pig.)

What were Hakari's actual odds to win last time? Didnt he hit a 1/219 in the first spin on the end? His power can beat anyone if he's written to just hit ridiculous odds over and over.

There was extra pages added to a recent Jjk volume release I guess. Chapter 213 when Hanna Jacob ladders megumisukuna. It makes Hana look way stronger and helps sell the fake out Gege was going for I think https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/FrcLizI/1/1/

I wonder how often there are pages omitted

I think it’s implied that Hakari’s domain expansion is rigged to always succeed as long as he keeps taking ridiculously risky gambles. In-universe explanation anyways

Also "gamble big, give it literally everything you have, and you will win" is a pretty big running theme (or if not theme then 'thing that happens') of the series it seems. People who take huge risks or give it their all come out ahead while people who play it safe or back away get shredded.

He says he is lucky, and that the most spins he has ever needed to hit Jackpot was 32 in both his domain and real machines.

His final spin when he had the hole in him was in increased probability mode, which he was also lucky to get.

yeah this was much better and makes it look like she could've completely obliterated Sukuna if he didn't social engineer himself into her arms

Kashimo lasted a chapter and a half and most of what his CT allowed him to do was gush about Sukuna, which is really funny.

Man I knew this was going to be the case but it's about to be Sukuna just walking through the cast. Kashimo at least forced him to revert to his true form but still, he basically accomplished nothing at the end of the day. Stay safe Higuruma, I guarantee Sukuna's domain is back and functioning.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Yuji whats wrong with your arm, man? "I ate a bunch of hosed up cursed monster gunk!!! now my arms like this!!" Would be funny if thats just his thing now. I do like the explanation for Sukuna's curse form being like peak efficiency for jujutsu. Wondering about Uraume with Hikari coming out of his domain looking very very unharmed. They dead or what?

Very spotty art this chapter, feels like Gege is up against it. my excitement on all this fighting is flatlined from last chapter and this didn't really do much to pump me up. Hopefully next chapter does something.

Sukuna's design was clearly something that Gege thought was very cool and worked well for the artwork so far because they were just panels where Sukuna was posing. It looks *rough* in motion, especially since Gege doesn't seem comfortable drawing his face in various angles/profiles.

Also lol at the fact that the super Dismantle is spammable and *travels/can be dodged*???????

I’m definitely interested in seeing how Higuruma’s cursed technique works with Sukuna. He’s seen it already through Yuji so I’m sure he’s figured out some loophole to beat it

He didn't. The paneling makes it pretty clear that Mahoraga slashed and immediately cut off Gojo's arm from range, also uh, it's kinda wild that the art felt *way* more readable just a few chapters ago. Guess Gege needs the break.

I think I've said it before but he's got the same problem as Hao Asakura from Shaman King. Way too strong and has nothing interesting going for him in terms of personal conflict. So nobody can realistically fight him (now that Gojo is half the man he used to be) and it isn't like he even feels conflicted about this dumb love angle the story introduced like 30 chapters ago.
