But how can a real life movement appear badly animated? It's real life it always looks real. Cinema used to be 24fps and this wasnt a constraint.

But what does 24 movements mean? One normal second long movement divided 24 times teleporting yourself a little bit between each one?

Again I ask, have you seen a flip book? You're not even teleporting between positions you're moving into the positions you've planned out, mirroring the 'animation' you've been forced to plan out.

So it has nothing to do with jerkiness or number of movements and is just about fidelity to being in the right spot for each of those 24 frames?

Because as presented in that scene, the dude hopped down from the elevator, chopped off Trish's hand, and scurried out in like two seconds. Which is hilariously fast for someone do to all that but Jojo isn't really the kind of thing that cares about that. The entire reason he chops off her hand in the first place is because it has to happen quickly!
We are just going to have to disagree on that because he also would have had to go down the floor somehow without breaking it and while the door is still closed since Bruno had to use sticky fingers to open the floor of the elevator to see where Trish went.

As far as Polneraff, that's literally the point of the fight. Polneraff's Silver Chariot is incredibly fast (again, its established power) and he is aware of how Diavolo's ability works, so any attempt to get close to him is doomed because he can use the splatters of blood to judge when time is stopped and instantly have Silver Chariot attack all around him. Like Diavolo tries to do that first and gets hit for his trouble. He needed to blind Polneraff so he'd be caught off guard long enough for him to actually hit him! That's the entire reason he blinds him because otherwise Silver Chariot is too fast and will kick his rear end.

I guess my problem here is that if he can interact with the world during the skip, he should just be able to kill anyone since he is also able to just phase through things like bullets when he wants.

Staying still doesn't matter. After Naoya taps Maki, she had figured out how the power works, and so planned the next second over 24 movements to counter Naoya.
By that reasoning if she didn't figure it out until afterwards she should have been carded. The only way this makes sense is if she planned to stop her hug as part of her already planned 24 frames which I dispute. Really, the idea that someone has to keyframe their motions and move in accordance with those is really abstract despite on paper making sense and the part of the ability that is needlessly convoluted.

I mean, it absolutely is a constraint? Especially in animation, but even cinema has to account for the framerate, since certain things (like panning cameras at certain speeds) look worse at those framerates.

But with animation (which I think is the intended comparison), a movement will obviously look bad/unnatural if there's too big of a gap between the positions depicted between frames. Like if you're animating a walking person, but only have a frame for when their legs are in the same part of each stride - that won't look like walking when animated.

I think Kashimo really undersold how absurd his unkillability is. Kashimo’s lighting was described as a guaranteed hit outside a domain. Pretty much anyone else wouldn’t be able to just keep taking unavoidable kill shots or even handle his constant lightning damage on top of blocking with CE. Kashimo even mentioned Hakari getting faster as the fight wore on. I guess as part of Hakari’s character of being on a streak. In short as always Hakari ftmfw

Hakari may have also been holding back since he didn’t want to kill Kashimo because he needed his points.The getting faster part could’ve been him realizing oh, I might actually die at this rate.

They literally show a hole in the roof of the car, Bruno points it out. He grabbed Trish, pulled her up, and then booked it down the ladder they show when Bruno unzips the elevator. It's not clear how Bruno knew to punch the floor instead of somewhere else besides "drama" but (at least in the manga) they make it pretty clear the dude just hightailed it. I even pulled it up on Viz to check.

He can't interact with the world with his skip. The 'bullets go through him' thing was because he only skipped like .02 seconds (something like that, it was a ridiculously small number). He can't skip time 24/7 (there seems to be a cooldown, the same way Jotaro/DIO can't just chain their 7 seconds of time stop over and over for infinite time stop) so doing a brief phase worked in that one situation but would leave him vulnerable to a follow-up in most other situations.

This is my last post about this because this isn't the Jojo thread and this is a topic that has been argued for years and won't stop anytime soon.
Punching the ground might make sense because the door isn't open and they are on the top floor; that part I can understand. But I think you might be confused if you mean the hole in the cabinet. Bruno zippers down to the ground floor and then follows Diavolo into crypt via that hole. There's no mention of a hole in the roof of the elevator at all nor one shown. The elevator indicator saying Roof is because the actual car is still on the top floor as all parties took their own way down.

quote:

He can't interact with the world with his skip.
Except when he is fated to do something. But then the other person is fated to just stand there like time had actually been frozen and wait until it's the most dramatic to react to Diavolo's actions afterwards. Again, I don't agree that Diavolo moved so fast in the fated world that Fate Bruno wouldn't have at least moved from his previous spot or otherwise already have been reacting to the attack after the skip.
If I were Diavolo I would just charge everyone and punch them as hard as possible in the face. Use Epitaph to make sure the blow would connect and then use King Crimson to avoid any fate that would harm me. Their fate always happens and there's virtually no chance of being counterattacked afterwards. That's basically the Trish situation if it is actually a rule for his power and not just an inconsistency.

MonsterEnvy posted:

I guess my problem is I'm not willing to just let Gege have that because I think he just wanted a cool moment first and foremost at what I perceive to be a breach of his own rules. Like I'd brought up earlier even if that is the case and Maki did somehow not get carded because she managed to move the right way, Naoya doesn't seem to care but we know from the Choso fight he actually does freak out when things aren't going to his plan. That should have been the biggest red flag to him even if he does look down on her.

I like that there are like four separate points where Hakari realises “oh gently caress I might die”. I’m really excited to get back to his fight with Uraume. Uraume’s a bad matchup for Hakari because their ability can stop him without hurting him. It kind of nullifies Hakari’s “just tank hits and brawl” set-up. It’s been really so far and the comparison of Hakari to ancient sorcerer’s in his mindset was great.

tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know
There is so much going on with the new leaks I don't even know where to begin lol, extremely fire chapter and worth the wait.

Good news too, no break next week.

I have conflicted views about this manga's strange treatment of my boy Kenjaku

If you care about the low quality scans/translation here ya go: https://imgur.com/a/pPIYmHw

I'll ignore the plot until the scane come out but I do think the top level of what is happening here is very interesting. I am genuinely surprised that Kenjaku appears fully dead, with no asterisk. If he's actually gone, that is a dead-solid indication that we are speed running this poo poo. I will be very surprised if this isn't fully wrapped up within 20 chapters at this point

Another key aspect here is how crunched scenes are becoming; when Kenjaku's body is killed (Geto) his curses all come out at once. Which was enough to scare Toji into not killing Geto during Hidden Inventory to the point that it's a major dialog scene in the anime.

You would think that would therefore mean this part of the battle would be somewhat involved and/or important, especially with it being massively foreshadowed, but Rika kills his entire army of cursed spirits in like 3 panels. Another clear indication of the speed at which we are trying to knock this out.

Kenjaku holds the secrets to many of the biggest questions so if he is really gone, I wonder how Gege will provide all of this info, I guess through Sukuna :shrug: regardless, it is starting to feel like the big break JJK just took, off and on, through the holidays is probably due to a pending speed run to the conclusion of the series (well, main line series; I would be wildly surprised if JJK doesn't spawn a spin off or three)

Maki would have been good enough but the argument is that Rika is the only one who could do it fast enough to avoid mass casualties.

Does raise the question of "Where is Maki" though if she isn't here and she isn't there but she would have been a viable choice for there.

I agree with the maki suprise jumping sukuna in a domain is smart but don't domains provide a tricky grey area for Maki? She's immune to being trapped and sure hit, but not the physical damage in a domain right? Wouldn't Sukuna be able to take off the sure hit effect in exchange for just slashing the hell out of everything within a certain radius including maki?

She'd have to sneak up. I dont think he'd be able to detect her without laying eyes on her. Once he sees her yeah she'd be dead.

I was dying when Sukuna did the chainsaw grip thing and its just a bunch of extremely hard to understand lines kinda jutting everywhere, like, what.

Cool chapter.

Copy being Projection Magecraft but for cursed techniques seems obvious in hindsight. I wonder why the katana granting Thin Ice Breaker faded away after use though. And Rika being inside the domain must be bonkers if she's also able to use the copied techniques.

I think Yuji's soul splitting ability is coming from those red gauntlets he's wearing.

Sukuna has only referred to two other sorcerers by their actual names so far, Gojo and Higuruma. He's calling Yuta "that possessed brat" so I guess he's not really interested in him.

Yuta has a lot of regrets and self-doubt!

Great little chapter. Just like how Kenjaku was dismissive of him during his brief exchange with Gojo during the Shinjuku Incident, Sukuna doesn't seem to consider Yota an opponent the way Gojo and Higuruma were, despite clearly being a jujutsu powerhouse.

Maybe it's because his prodigious cursed energy capacity and copy technique are simply traits he was born with, sidestepping a "true" understanding of cursed energy? Combined with how attached Yota is to his humanity (and to others, and to Rika), it might be not that they don't believe him dangerous, but that they don't expect him to truly push boundaries and innovate during a confrontation. They've got his measure so as seasoned monsters they don't feel threatened, and might even find him a little boring despite how impressive the kid must seem to lesser sorcerers.
