Bread Set Jettison posted:Megumi was already pretty gloomy and he’s gotta be pretty shell shocked from all the bullshit he’s endured. On top of just general depression, “the bath” is making everything harder too Yeah they explained what the bath does for Sukuna but they don't really go into how it messes with the host. Which is fine, I don't need everything explained but I guess that's gotta be a factor here too.

If only Megumi liked tall women with big asses he'd find the strength to live on Also did Yuta get cleaved there? That looked like a solidly deep cut

Angel should have just killed Meguna when she had the chance. Would have spared us from having to endure the Dismantle that cuts the world.

Nobara’s gonna pop up in a weakened capacity unable to attack but able to use resonance in a different way, this time resonating Megumi’s soul with a will to live. Believe it!

Is Sukuna just unkillable? He tanked Jacob's Ladder? Was it just that Megumi didnt want to unmerge so it didn't work? No matter how much his body is DISMANTLED he can use his most powerful attacks?? Maki save us

I'm a bit confused because By all accounts after Yuta cut off Sukuna's lower left arm, he is then shown to stab into the lower right and then slice it off diagonally. With Rika restraining the upper pair, how did Sukuna manage to have a spare hand to shoot off this attack when he shouldn't have had the time to heal. He's no Hakari as we know

You're right, his lower left arm is still just a stump in the very last panel. Just the chant is sufficient now? Or maybe it was before. If this is the reality-slicer, that was only ever fired off between chapters so maybe it only needs the chant.

Maki save us Jacob's Ladder maybe could've been enough to kill Sukuna if the blast had continued, but since the goal was to save Megumi they used it to further weaken him in prep for the final push with Yuji's soul punch. But Megumi had no will to reassert control over his body, and in the brief opening Sukuna seems to have managed to RCT one of his mouths and chant. So here comes Maki with Plan D, the Split-Soul Katana.

I thought the point of jacob's ladder was to disable the cursed object that caused sukuna and megumi to merge. It wasn't just to kill Sukuna it was to separate them.

Then I suppose it briefly KO'd Sukuna but since they failed to awaken Megumi he just jumped right back into taking control of the body. The narrowed targeting scope might've even worked in his favor since it limited the damage to his incarnated form, else as Angel said it'd have fried his brain. It's like how he managed to survive brief exposure to Unlimited Void because there's a fundamental disconnect between his soul and the body.

It's both, but they planned to use it in a support role as just using it to destroy the cursed object would kill Megumi.

If there was ever a time for Nobara to make a comeback I think now would be it. Use her technique to enter the soul dimension with Yuji to help Megumi

Really great action, I agree this will look sick when it gets animated. This whole fight is going to get a lot of youtube AMVs dedicated to it when the animated version comes out. I feel like there might be a disconnect in episode and chapter length though, we're at 23 chapters but I'd estimate maybe 5-6ish episodes? I'm really curious to see what Maki's katana does here. Sukuna seems like he might be worn down to a level where Maki is a pretty difficult match up on her own. Also, Yuta does seem to have gotten cleaved but I think he can RCT from that, he's a lot healthier than Gojo was and Sukuna is a lot weaker. He might be out of the fight for awhile though.

I don't think this fight is close to over, but the narrator pointing out that Sukuna got got in a pretty embarrassing way by his standards makes me think the king of curses is gonna start gettin real ornery.

I don't know what 'plot armor" is supposed to mean at this point. If they've spent the entire series talking about a character being an unstoppable force of nature and he does, in fact, turn out to be an unstoppable force of nature, is that "plot armor"?

Blockhouse posted:I don't know what 'plot armor" is supposed to mean at this point. It generally depends. If someone isn't stopped by something that, as written, should stop them, it can feel unsatisfying no matter how much they are built up, depending on how it is executed. A big part of someone being viewed as unstoppable is the excitement that comes once they are stopped, especially if it makes narrative sense. Like to use a non-YYK example, one of the arcs of Dragon Ball Super has them fighting a dude who wished himself immortal. He was unstoppable and fused with an Evil Goku to become super duper unstoppable. Then Trunks, the put-upon dude, managed to pull together a sword of raw spirit and friendship and split him in two in what could have been an easy contender for coolest finish in Dragonball, but the next episode reveals he survived (because immortal). It left people feeling pretty unsatisfied because even as written it felt like it should have had more impact than none, despite the logic of the scene holding together. I am not sure why a sequence involving a cool super sword that ends up meaning nothing comes to mind for JJK.

I guess you could also argue that even taking a cursed weapon out of an inventory curse would have given too much notice to sukuna so Maki is stuck using boring old steel.

I'd be pretty unsatisfied if this takes Sukuna out, but it should have some sort of heavy impact on him between the narration and the type of weapon he's getting hit with.

No Wave posted:Maki is the setting connoisseur of cursed weapons and they had a month to collect the most appropriate cursed weapon on the entire planet from all of jujutsu, and it went through his heart with him having zero ability to defend against it. By all of the established rules of the setting the fight should be over. I guess you can argue that another established rule of the setting is that none of the established rules of the setting apply to sukuna. What makes you think he only has one heart

If this is the reality-slicer, that was only ever fired off between chapters so maybe it only needs the chant. I haven't enjoyed the implementation of this new move. How Sukuna achieved it is perfectly valid and very smart on his part. But the usage is basically inconsistent or being glossed over so he can win when he needs too. I will never not harp on the fact that Gojo was caught off guard and if every other instance is to be weighed against that; Sukuna has to chant and then motion to deploy it. yet Gojo died without a reaction. I guess the only way the current attack makes sense is if either: Sukuna managed to free his upper right hand from Rika since the POV show we got is clearly a right hand, but the next panels don't support that. Or maybe that diagonal slice didn't actually remove Sukuna's hand as the final page might indicate. But then, what did Yuta cut off with his sword buried in someone's arm like that?

He might be out of the fight for awhile though. it is a bit weird to me that this is the one time (excluding the offscreen with gojo i guess) he's used world dismantle without chanting it specifically after the first 3 incantations. i guess they've established he can alternatively use hand signs, but clearly he was able to use a mouth at that point.
