In all honesty, even the assumption that women draw cutesy shipping/write fanfic and men draw raunchy porn is pretty wrong on its face, it's definitely a mixture, but that starts going a little bit beyond the scope of a Jujutsu Kaisen thread.

Kenjaku retains the curse techniques of all past bodies he's inhabited right? Would that mean if he beats Takaba and steals his body, he would also have access to all the poo poo he has now plus the comedy power?

Not all, if had them all he would need some external storage as his brain would not be able to handle that many. It was theorized he should have 4 max for what could be handled, and seemingly has 3. His Brain Transplant Technique, the Technique of his current body, the Technique of his previous body.

If I was Kenjaku I’d be dropping Geto’s body for Takaba’s body as soon as possible. He gets to keep the curse manipulation and gets a reality warping ability, what better deal could you ask for.

The page of Kenjaku splashing around in the water being as near death for him as anything Yuki did is so funny to me. This fight is godly. Takaba fighting!

Fight is gonna end with Takaba's dick flopping out again. Also, if these two don't somehow end up in some fan-produced literature in the future I will be disappointed, to say the least. And if the sexy nurse outfit doesn't wind up in some sort of Geto x Gojo fic on top of that, I'll eat my own head or something.

He gets to keep the curse manipulation and gets a reality warping ability, what better deal could you ask for. Comedian seems like it'd have poor compatibility with Kenjaku, who knows too much about the mechanical workings of jujutsu on top of being highly analytical - it's a reflexive ability inherently averse to conscious attempts at interpretation in order to apply it for maximal effects. That's not to say he can't come up with good gags, as is clearly being demonstrated, but I think he's too attached to the notion of jujutsu combat as a clash of systems operating within a framework he's spent over a thousand years mastering to simply toss that aside and let such an ambiguous CT take his wheel. Takaba was an exceptional choice to counter Kenjaku precisely because it'd leave him no option but to discard said mastery of jujutsu, and play into the technique's rules instead. Fortunately for Kenny, he's barely hanging on thanks to the know-how and inventiveness to appeal to his opponent's sense of comedy, else he'd be completely on the receiving end of the slapstick and get destroyed. I know some people felt 'cheap' that the villain that's been having everything go right for them is also a fan of comedy in the situation where it's a life-or-death matter, but the result has been fantastic and I think I'll be satisfied either way this fight ends.

I said it before but I think him being good at comedy is why this works. I keep harping on it but Pure Love Train is a really lovely technique for an interesting fight outside of the sheer WTF of it because it's basically feels entirely out of control and arbitrary. In comparison having someone who understands and can respond to comedy means that as insane as this fight is, it's an actual fight where you can understand how the person being 'attacked' can survive and get out of it. It might be convenient but it's convenient in a way that allows for an interesting situation.

"Yeah dude to make it fair I'll even let you know everything about my tech once you step inside of it." Then for the opponent to be more or less frozen by sensory and data overload was hilarious. Opposite levels of participation but equally amazing from a WTF level. I like both sides of this dumb coin.

Of note here is also that Takaba has a genuine narrative shot at defeating Kenny. Not necessarily killing him, since he doesn't find killing people funny, but he could certainly gently caress him up/his plans without it directly impacting the already high-stakes Sukuna melee.

it also makes sense that the dude who's basically been living solely for his own entertainment for hundreds of years would be really into comedy. probably had Gaki no Tsukai playing in the background while he did hosed up experiments

ImpAtom posted:I said it before but I think him being good at comedy is why this works. I'm fine with Hakari's ability. But from a writing perspective he went through every single use case his power had in one fight so I don't expect any surprises from him going into a teamup against Sukuna. He'd be fine if his opponents were only other modern sorcerers but Gojo's statement about Hakari's strength falls flat once you start to incorporate ancient characters because one of them almost killed Hakari several times and he was technically holding back.

Hakari is the perfect representation to me of what Gojo said about fundamentals/mediocre jujutsu. It’s not just his power that’s scary, it’s his application of it, as well as his YOLO mindset. The use that stands out is when he moved the coordinates of his domain to dump kashimo into the sea. Using his power in a clever and unexpected way. But he’s still a relatively inexperienced teenager. I suspect he should be stronger/smarter having survived that fight.

1) Since when did they know exactly what Takaba's technique was? They know that his technique can't kill anyone, all of a sudden? He just domed a special grade spirit, and a point was made that even Takaba has no idea what's up with his ability, now Yuta gets hella confident about the exact nature of it apparently. 2) Did the crew not know that Kenjaku was a head-curse-thing? Cuz I'm trying to parse why Yuta would specifically cut off the head when he could have just sliced through the head instead of the neck, lol. "just shonen things" baby I will say, it's nice that Yuta just completely ignored Kennie's anti grav because it's about time ken was on the losing end of some bullshit after he survived a black hole

My read of Yuta's line on Takaba isn't that he isn't capable of killing, just that's it's against his nature and doesn't really 'get' what's going on in the same way. Also I think Yuta just blitzed him before the anti-grav activated. I'm thinking back to the line about how jujutsu is about subtraction, removing hand signs and incantations to speed up use of CT. He simply wasn't quick enough on the draw. And going for the neck makes sense if he doesn't know about the brain thing, since going after the neck is known to limit RCT healing like Kenny used against the guy he killed right before the Takaba fight.

really satisfying way for Gege to handle this, I like it. fully expecting a gotcha or something related to Sukuna's promise (from when Gojo was about to jump him immediately after being freed) but this was good if it's played straight and they incapacitate Kenjaku this way
