I’m good with not being up to date with the discourse on the wider internet, I prefer posting here. If I wanted to talk about jjk with redditors, I’d post on Reddit

I freaking hate the "discussion" on Reddit. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even reading the same manga.

like being behind in this situation is still days ahead of the majority of people. Reddit isn't the internet and most people aren't knee deep in theory discussion and chapter analysis

I try not to talk about leaks or spoilers before any version of the chapter lands,  was a forgivable exception to that though.I keep up with em every week though, so I've seen bits and pieces of the chapter. Just don't comment on em typically.

Here is a non-spoiler that none the less spoils enough to understand why people would be amused/annoyed. We cut away from the fight to something else. Here is a more detailed spoiler: We cut to Kenjaku where he is about to fight Takaba, the goofy dude. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Oct 18, 2023 |

Conspiratiorist posted:Precisely that, cursed tools and abilities/techniques like Domain Amplification, or forcing Domain Battles where Limitless would be cancelled out and it's down to grit, and this is without getting into the existence of CTs that like Sukuna's could potentially be adapted to bypass the working principles of Limitless. See, I don't think this really stands up to scrutiny. Domain Amplification is a trick we've seen used over and over, even by Sukuna, and yet never worked on Gojo and never inflicted lasting damage, domain expansion battles are probably also something he wouldn't really have to fear considering he could go toe to toe with Sukuna and only lost because Sukuna had an open domain, something that doesn't appear to have been anywhere near common even in the Heian era (we only know of two jujutsu sorcerers who can do that, the second greatest barrier user and the king of curses). I also wouldn't particularly look at the Miguel fight as an example of Gojo being serious, considering that was literally a situation that Gojo partially engineered to make sure Yuta would grow as a sorcerer.

It is for certain that Gojo wasn't going all out on Miguel due to him not using Domain Expansion to just circumvent Miguel's cursed tool nor hitting him with hollow purple and destroying him entirely. I think even Miguel himself recognized that he got softballed during his fight. If we had more credible cursed tools that could touch Gojo it might have been good for the story to have those sitting around but the only one that could have worked got destroyed during the hidden inventory arc.

Sukuna “gave” Gojo the advantage in ctc during their domain battle once he switched strategies to using Maharaga’s adaption. A risky maneuver that allowed Gojo to snowball and led to Sukuna getting hit with Unlimited Void. Gojo was thinking something was off and was wondering what Sukuna was doing until Mahoraga popped out. Sukuna had other options to win, but none of them tackled the problem of overcoming Limitless through the advancement of his technique. I think Sukuna answered the self identity question posed by Geto that was plaguing Gojo for years. It’s also implied that Gojo is built different even beyond the standards of previous Limitless/6 eye users since he basically destroyed the strongest 10 Shadows user in history while his predecessor only eked out with a tie. He seemed pretty fulfilled. yum fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Oct 18, 2023 |

I mean, yeah, Sukuna should probably have focused on breaking the barrier from inside when Gojo had switched conditions but that's not... something I was really contesting? The point is more that Gojo's domain is actually not just insanely powerful in terms of effects but has straight-up been stated multiple times within the story to be of an extremely high level in terms of refinement. What exactly that means has always been kept hazy, but in practice it translates to Gojo winning most domain clashes.

I agree with you, Gojo is the most impressive modern sorcerer. His downfall was the lack of competition and overall experience.

Are people just desperate because my entire feed right now is people convinced that Kenjaku using a curse to cut off/block that dude's RCT is the author telling us that Gojo healed himself offscreen and is alive.

I can think of no better way for Kenjaku to be defeated than by the comedy relief side character that everyone immediately wrote off. Defeated as in incapacitated, since Tabata has a policy against killing.

drat, explosion dude died right when his possible new best buddy came to gently caress Kenjaku up. Also interesting in that Takaba most likely just appeared on that stretch of road because Kenjaku didn't detect him at all. Like one moment he's sitting in a room being told where Kenjaku is, then he thinks of a silly running gag and next second he's on that road. Still no good answer to how Gojo didn't see that last hit coming.

Gege remains undefeated introduces a new female character and then immediately kills her lol BUT i will give him a lot of credit if Takaba destroys Geto

Kinda can't help but wonder if Takaba got spirited away to fight Kenjaku to explicitly avoid a situation like "wow it would be funny if Gojo just got up and was fine" or "jeez wouldn't it be hilarious if Yuji oneshot Sukuna after all this bullshit," but if he actually does something here and Gege isn't just setting him up to be removed from the plot, I like it

I don't think Takaba can win for the same reason Gojo couldn't win-- the villains have plot armor right now, there literally couldn't be a story if Kenjaku lost here. Takaba might get some respect for putting up a fight and that's it

Takaba winning would be funny, but the funniest possible outcome would be Kenjaku thinking "whoa this CT is loving busted I want this body", him body hopping to Takaba and then realizing the technique doesn't work at will

I doubt he’ll win however Geto keeps talking about how he’s kind of doing the Tengen merge because he thinks it’s funny. His fight v Choso he said something like “it would be funny if humanity merged with tengen and it looked like a silly face~. So in a weird way this fight fits. My theory for this fight is it will serve as a “true intention” reveal, and the gang may very abruptly jump him once that happens.

Yeah, there's no way Takaba is winning here because it would be too cool of a writing twist to have a major series antagonist taken out by a side character. So we have to have the funny guy lose so like, somebody far more boring can punch Kenjaku to death.
