Fabricated posted:So did Kenjaku sort of hijack Takaba's phenomenon generation? It's kinda hijackable by design, Takaba wants a good comedy partner and the power allows for those being under its influence to take part in his fantasy. Kenjaku is versed in comedy so he can fight back, otherwise he'd be stuck in endless slapstick comedy getting pies in the face. According to him, though, Takaba is taking no damage despite whatever's going on, while he's not awarded this luxury. I dread the conclusion too: I wouldn't be surprised if his technique stopped working once he feels the connection. Char fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Nov 17, 2023 |

Kenjaku getting owned by sketch comedy is loving amazing, but no surprise that the finale has to be in a manzai situation.

I'm not sure about this because surely Kenjaku would have mentioned it were it the case, but is this also a sort of open domain, basically? It's still not clear how much is illusion, but at the very least the ability to inflict (and avoid/deflect) real damage means a certain level of interference with reality. It's also operating kind of similarly to Judgeman and the pachinko domain, in that those also allow an opponent to engage with the domain under its own set of rules, to some extent.

Scholtz posted:"Just gotta make it so that him dying would be the funniest thing ever" is the strat on both ends I think Kenjaku has a golden ticket to cutting through the bullshit and starting the Tengen merger early if he can get a hang of this incredibly hax technique he's being allowed to take part in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kenjaku has a clear path to victory here, right? If this is all a comedy set, then all he has to do is conclude it.

We don't know enough to say whether that wouldn't just allow Takaba to start the cycle over again. Takaba has as good as said that his win condition is to get Kenjaku to basically laugh helplessly. Kenjaku not only has to end it, he has to maybe break Takaba's spirit. We'll see I guess.

I don’t think he would die, Takaba doesn’t find people dying funny.

Kenjaku can connect with others pretty well with the right person. A modern sorcerer like Takaba was probably the last person he expected to be compatible with. He was likely expecting to find something more in common with Hiruguma lol

i haven't read the chapter. takaba should become evil through the power of friendship. this will mean he is present at a grand final melee feat. him, kenjaku, and sukuna versus all. this will enable sukuna's defeat when he is unable to master comedic combat because he cannot and does not care to comprehend others. kenjaku then turns good through the power of friendship and manzai comedy.

Man, it's kind of hilarious to go to Japan and see the fandom here. In the US, everyone seems to think this is a shonen anime. But in Japan, they know The Truth. And The Truth is amazing and I honestly think it's really cool. (It's Secret Shoujo, kinda like how Gundam Wing was except on steroids. You can try to fight me on this point, but the lines full of women for the collab cafes across Japan, the collab cafes having nothing but women inside them, the middle-aged women toting Itadori-branded reusable bags, the bookcases of BL manga devoted to the series, the fact that said BL manga is almost always located at the front of the store for ease of access/general popularity, the hordes of women picking up BL manga related to the series, etc. beg to differ. Hilariously, I saw no Japanese men consuming anything JJK-related and the only guys I saw with JJK-branded merch were foreigners. It's still insanely popular here though and you see it everywhere, it's just that women are the ones most visibly consuming it. The Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu arc was definitely the rugpull for this.)

It's a shonen because it's published in a shonen book. Outside of that, the audience will always be what it is, and it's not really weird at all for one of these to have a huge female fanbase that is equally, and sometimes more, interested in the character relationships compared to the fights.

Similar to Wing or Otsumatsu, it seems, where you get similar numbers of guys and girls as fans, but the female fans are much more... Enthusiastic. Funny thing? Attack on Titan is a shonen, as are most of the spin offs... But the Levi backstory is shojo. So the same anime has both shonen and shojo episodes if you count the OVAs chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Nov 18, 2023 |

UnderFreddy posted:i can't believe the women love a manga with hot guys being hot while doing cool stuff. I mean, there's also a thing where women are overwhelmingly the creators of fanart/fan content/fanfic. Lots of shows are going to have a relatively equal split with the fan content community being absolutely dominated by women. Like Gojo is, by Geto.

Yeah this is peak right now. A few chapters ago we saw some of the crew discussing Takaba and the importance of him not knowing how his power actually works and I'm wondering if we're gonna see them pop in at any point. The vibe I got from that discussion was that he is a really useful trump card they need to keep alive.
