It's an interesting conversation for someone living in the modern era and not at all interesting for a dude who's lived hundreds of years as fingers

Zzulu posted:That's exactly what Sukuna thinks as well. He just said the whole conversation is dumb, which is why I like him. sure, but 20+ chapters of your super cool lead villain going "this conversation is dumb and boring" will just lead me to agree that it is dumb and boring. I'm ready for the next beat.

yum posted:its just another one of those things that’s so obvious in its simplicity, like why didn’t I think of that, no poo poo having another pair of arms and mouth would be advantageous when the fighting system is based around hand seals and chants. Cutting space is another example, or the concept of an open domain expansion. No one bothered to even imagine them as possibilities in the first place. Comedy man can end this fight whenever he wants btw.

Yuji and Sukuna are about to have a bare-knuckle deathmatch thanks to JUSTICE man, no cursed energy or cursed techniques. First one to fall has to apologize to Megumi! But really, I do wonder how long Megumi's body and/or soul is going to be able to withstand Sukuna's fully-incarnated form before falling to pieces. Other sorcerers have incarnated into their host bodies before, but none of them were ever on or near Sukuna's level - it's unlikely that even compatible sorcerers would be able to maintain his form indefinitely. Itadori is many things, but the idea that he's probably a recreation of Sukuna (or at least a descendant) means that his body would be able to withstand it without any issues - after all, there's an interesting parallel between Itadori and Sukuna in that Itadori also grew up surrounded by people weaker than him considering his superhuman level of physical prowess. While he may be compatible, Megumi's body wasn't exactly designed by Kenjaku for that purpose in the way that Itadori's is. LuiCypher fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Oct 6, 2023 |

To be honest I feel like "Megumi can be rescued" at this point feels kind of lame. Sukuna incarnated in him and then proceeded to absolutely destroy him spiritually and mentally. Even if he gets rescued he has basically nothing left.

Valentin posted:I just don't think "being the strongest" or "the strongest is lonely" or "love and being the strongest" are interesting or even particularly coherent concepts as gege writes about them, so the fact that this is apparently what really really interests him as we near the end is underwhelming I think there's some missing the forest for the trees going on. JJK has been about self-realization - in whatever form this might take - from day one, and most of the introduced incarnated sorcerers were extremely powerful individuals during their own time who nevertheless found themselves looking for greater strength and/or meaning, and in Gojo's case he had been cursed with the question of what strength means for his identity posed to him by Geto at the end of Hidden Inventory. The way Sukuna addresses these notions is not because he's just some aloof rear end in a top hat, but to showcase just how it is that he achieved enlightenment. He tells them that if they were looking to find some kind of kindred spirit in him as a way to parse their own feelings then they were on the wrong track, and only projecting their own anxieties, because you cannot reach your ideal self by comparing yourself (conforming) to others. This is all also to help refine where the needle lands for JJK in regards to the power of bonds and friendship, a concept that is extremely prevalent in the genre but which this series is consistently dismissive of (but for one arguably two cases) within its internal philosophy.

I joking say the first to fall has to apologize to Fushiguro, but it's also important to note that "apologize" does not necessarily mean that the person in question is rescued. After all, apologies often come before one's demise. If Fushiguro was to be "rescued", I think one of the few people capable of salvaging him before he just crumbles into nothing from an exhausted body/soul is Hana? Even then, it's suggested that though she might be able to separate Sukuna from Fushiguro it's highly likely that Fushiguro dies anyways.

MonsterEnvy posted:From the start. It was said that Kenjaku created 9, and numbers 1-3 were taken in that raid and then incarnated There's an interesting observation on this that someone made. It appears the Death Womb Paintings were named for the 'Stages of Decay' paintings, which is a set of 9 paintings depicting the stages of decomposition of a single figure. And someone was supposed to be working on a tenth painting for a set they were working on, depicting the figure as they would have been in life. In this interpretation of the paintings, Yuji would be the tenth.

for someone who is 100% sure of everything and anything, it’s strange how Sukuna is constantly underestimating Yuji and shows little interest in some of his truly abnormal and unexplainable aspects. First there’s Yuji’s mindset - the dude is not right in the head as noted by Gojo. He even killed himself even when Sukuna believed he wouldn’t have the guts to. Then there’s the source of his abnormal durability and physical strength - no curiosity at all. He’s the perfect cage capable of suppressing the King of Curses, a once in a thousand year individual. That caught Sukuna off guard, but there was no questioning beyond thinking strange, why can’t I take control. Maybe it was all explained to Sukuna by Kenjaku. But even then, why does he see no potential in a vessel capable of housing and suppressing even the ultimate soul? We actually have an example of a vessel who houses multiple souls and gains extra powers as a function of that: Panda. In Panda’s case, his three souls worked together towards a greater purpose, namely his big brother and sister protected Panda by allowing him to borrow their abilities. This directly opposes Sukuna’s ideology that one only needs themselves to grow stronger. Sukuna may be blind to this possibility as someone who feels connecting with others is worthless. yum fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Oct 7, 2023 |

It would still be very funny if Takaba arrived to save the day by doing a kanchō on Sukuna that was so powerful it defeated him in one hit.

He also knows Yuji very well having gotten all of his memories and knowledge back when he was in him.

who knows where things are going at this point, but i've always expected the death paintings to be more of a yuji v kenjaku deal i think we're gonna have a couple chapters of some doomed plan with judgeman, which leads to yuji saving megumi (prob how yuji starts to understand the death paintings). i hope it doesn't happen, but yuji could also just "punch sukuna but not megumi" and i wouldn't really blink

MonsterEnvy posted:Cause he hates him. Like I can't think of anyone Sukuna dislikes more than Yuji. He also knows Yuji very well having gotten all of his memories and knowledge back when he was in him. Yeah! It’s basically Mahito and Yuji all over again but at a deeper level. Yuji’s “I am you, you are me speech, my purpose is to kill you” speech applies even though Sukuna is not a cursed spirit. Plus the obvious parallels like the two page spread of Sukuna and Mahito sharing a laugh. You could even argue that Mahito’s downfall was because of hatred of Yuji. He had the same potential as teenage Gojo and Sukuna, even making the same speech as Sukuna’s words to Kashimo, and was evolving at a rapid pace. But he strayed from the path and became attached to his obsession with Yuji, changing his goal from becoming stronger just because to becoming stronger to kill Yuji. We now know that his “perfect form” is anything but when compared to Sukuna’s body. He was too hasty, it was the body he imagined that would defeat Yuji, but clearly not the perfect body that would maximize his potential for jujutsu. The guy’s power runs on touching people, why didn’t he imagine himself to have more/longer arms or something. It’s the classic villain’s dislike of the protagonist causes them to underestimate them leading to their downfall. At least, that’s how it should go narratively. Sukuna hasn’t displayed any weaknesses apart from hubris. There’s no way Gege would write it as everything is within Sukuna’s expectations and he kills everyone, the end (…right?). At least, I don’t think Shonen Jump would let him do that considering their publication requirements. sorry for rambling, i’ve been stuck in a car with too much idle time
