someone introduce jojo to lazyb


my half understanding is that he basically cut a dimension higher than infinity. Like you have an infinitly long 2d line, you cannot cut it in the 2d space. but you can bisect it if you transplant it to 3d and cut it in that dimension, or something

Yeah, sukuna is literally cutting the space where gojo's body happens to be, since his slashes aren't trying to approach gojo infinity doesn't activate. Takako (the naked lady yuta fought) has a cursed technique that lets her interact with space too, creating an equally confusing technique lol. It was a cool foreshadowing of jujutsu letting you warp the fabric of reality.

He simply cut the page gojo was on, both in-universe but also in our own reality.

If you imagine a sheet of paper as the place where all fights happen in JJK then to attack Gojo you need to draw a line on the paper from yourself to him. His technique would then Zeno's Paradox the attack so that it never actually reaches him. Meanwhile what Sukuna's adapted Dismantle achieved was basically just tearing apart the sheet of paper itself.

this is the easiest thing to understand in the world. gojo is hexproof. you can't kill him with swords to plowshares but you can with wrath of god.

Oh right, I see. So basically Gojo is able to manipulate space, but the adapted Dismantle just tore a hole in space itself. I wonder if that has any further implications seems that seems like a pretty big deal.

It's just calvinball, Gojo lost because he was too tired regenerating his brain that he couldn't say "I have stored infinity inside infinity an infinite amount of times!" to protect himself.

Eventually anyone can run out of BS.

The slide that shows Sukuna pulling the old "Look a distraction" on Gojo and then slicing him sure helped me understand that moment.

(which I still don't understand how you can bypass 'infinity'.)

Remember when Yuki smacked Kenny so hard he got ejected from Tengen's barrier - an imaginary space that looped back on itself and was thus theoretically endless? While in practice sorcerers have to navigate around the effects of hostile techniques, or cancel each other out through Domain Amplification/Expansion clashes, fundamentally CTs are neither absolute nor equal; a more potent or refined concept can break through the rules being imposed by another.

Limitless worked by creating an endless imaginary gap between Gojo and potential harm, so Makora refined Sukuna's slash into something that cuts past imaginary space, and everything else.

When the volume of JJK with Sukuna's dimensional cut thing is published, there will be razor blades embedded into the page where Sukuna uses the ability, for extra realism.

In his defence, he honestly had no way of knowing what would happen, and most of them were force-fed to the kid + 1 that Sukuna managed to snag with the old mouth-hands trick.

According to Kenjaku, the three that had any kind of chance against Sukuna were Hakari, Yuta and Maki. Higuruma is a new card in the deck.

No he's just the current plan because it might also let them save their friend Megumi. Hakari Maki and Yuta were all called out by the other antagonist as people that might also have a chance against him.

Ah yeah, I guess he isn’t the only one then. I was thinking back to chapter 244 in which the entire group discusses Higuruma and how there’s a sure way to get Sukuna the death penalty. While these others were mentioned, but Higuruma is the one that is put into action (and set up as being the solution) immediately after Gojo’s death. I wonder if we’ll just go down the list and have all of them fail? That could stretch it another year until we finally reach the conclusion.

Also, as a side note, the fact he’s able to face off against Sukuna (somewhat) only 2 months after awakening to his technique makes him a seriously impressive sorcerer. Not sure if I like that or not.

Maki will be fine. There are no male characters that will fall into despair if she dies.

Traditional sorcerers are a bunch of heavily inbred fine pedigree assholes. It's not surprising for regular dudes to outshine them.

Rika is exorcised. The Rika Yuta has now is just his technique imitating her curse.

Yeah, Rika the Queen of Curses is basically just Yuta's cursed technique built around the idea of the previous Rika who got to actually die. It is just that Yuta's kind of hosed up so his curse technique ends up just being identical to Rika as she existed despite her being a hollow shell.

I think somehow with people forgetting text and others imagining the maiming and death of women that hasn't happened to get mad at this might be the dumbest weirdest take in the thread recently.

Stairmaster posted:

She doesn't need them any more. That was the whole deal with her and her sister's last gift to each other. Also Kenjaku and Geto, besides looking the same, are entirely different characters with different goals and personalities and the point was to set this up as the villain stealing this cool power because Gojo's sentimentality hosed everyone up on this. Which kind of is what holds him back at every step of this narrative and leads to so many many problems.

Kenjaku and Geto are only similar in that they use the same powers. Geto was an utter failure at everything he did but Kenjaku actually gets results.

Yuta and Geto were from the first volume of the manga. Yuji and Kenjaku are the knockoffs made to fill the same spot in the full series.

No way !!! I meant it derogatorily because he's the super op character from the prequel one shot that was absent for the entire front half of the manga who shows up to be super OP and stuff. I can't imagine anyone having any attachment to him whatsoever and I find his shtick of being OP to be boring just like Gojo and Sukuna
