stuker posted: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. He does chant. As to how. ???? It's a mystery. I guess his RCT can regenerate his tongues real fast. That said, I don't blame you for missing it, this chapter is really poorly laid out and drawn.

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. It's hard to make out due to the shadow flair but I believe that's Mai's replica of the Split-Soul Katana; there's an outline that corresponds to the fluffy guard. As to why this attack wouldn't finish off Sukuna right there, she might be aiming to sever his soul without cutting Megumi's. Despite Sukuna being an enemy that warrants holding nothing back, ironically only their opening card Gojo was going for the kill while every subsequent move has been carefully tailored around saving Megumi.

Taima posted:It's wild that, as a forum, we're hitting that age where people either kept up with the wider internet, OR they browsed nothing but SA and are now convinced that everything else on the internet is horrible and their only source for literally anything is other 43 year olds who also haven't been on the wider internet in 10-20 years. This is mostly an issue with Google, I think. I tried looking for the new chapter info and just got an endless list of ad-ridden manga sites and other nonsense. Basically, it's simply harder to search for things online than it used to be.

Its also not a question of searching for the chapter, if the TCB scan or some other scan were out-out you could google it and its likely to be on the first 2 pages of search with all the AI generated garbage. Its all the discussion of the chapter when the leaks are contained on private/blocked/banned twitter accounts & private discords. Just be courteous and post the links/images here. People should be doing that with the TCB scans (or if another group gets one out faster) anyways

Blockhouse posted:I don't know what 'plot armor" is supposed to mean at this point. If that were true then we already know the ending and there's no point in reading further. Readers are going to anticipate something working against Sukuna and may be disappointed in the ways that some things end up not working against him. Brought To You By posted: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. Yeah, if the translation is correct he needs to use at least one of either (i.e., a chant OR a hand sign). Seems weird for Gojo to miss either.

I don't think it should be very controversial to say that if you want to discuss scans, post a link to them. If you can't, wait to discuss them until you can. E: To actually say something about the chapter, really cool fight and it's going to be fantastic to see it animated. It's a little hastily drawn in the manga.

The internet is also moving more and more to things like twitter and discord, where archival data is harder to retrieve. With the old internet model, you could "catch up" by skimming through, but now the things you'd need to skim to understand might not exist any more, putting you permanently behind.

It's the 'Split-Soul Katana' which is supposed to attack the target's soul, so while it's not precisely like Angel's cursed technique it was expected to have some kind of effect on Sukuna. The heart may not matter as a physical organ but it at least signifies a direct hit.

No Wave posted:Because cursed tools are supposed to do things. They had a month and the entire resources of humanity to pick one that would have been meaningful. No they have access to the Gojo Clan's Cursed Tools. The Zen'in's hid theirs and died without revealing where they were, and the Kamo's were under Kenjaku's control so not really an option to take from. Maki's blade no doubt did damage, but because of Sukuna's weird nature it's unlikely to finish him off on the spot.

Hopefully Sukuna Lives on through Megumi's new set of arms and stomach mouth, while Megumi regains control over the rest of his body. That'd be fun.

that would be a lot of fun. i think i'd prefer the reverse where megumi gets one of the mouths+arm pairs but is just depressed about it, frustrating sukuna and changing the tide of the battle while also irritating the gang

I must have missed something. Do we have any explanation for where Yuji learned this punch? It seems like it’s implied to be something that only he can do but I honestly can’t remember anything like it showing up before.

It was the crux of Mahito's obsession with Yuji: his cursed energy can touch souls directly, described as him "knowing the shape of the soul." It's implied Yuji intuited this understanding from having Sukuna's soul within him.

I don’t have much to say other than I really like the idea that Yuta and Yuji are only able to have this incredibly brutal down to the wire battle with Sukuna because Gojo already pushed him to the edge. Really makes him getting unceremoniously whacked by Sukuna feel a lot less stupid imo.

It works well given the full context, but the mechanics behind his completed reincarnation weren't properly telegraphed by the brief fight with Kashimo, so at the time it came off as not only a full heal but also a power up as if the Gojo fight had done nothing but make Sukuna stronger. Now we know it was a desperation move from being suddenly cornered; Sukuna was figuratively out of breath so he needed the reincarnation to heal (bypassing his depleted RCT output) and to use his "two-faced" bits to keep up with Kashimo's CT beast mode.

I may not reach the same highs reading this battle as I have with others but as a demonstration of slowly chipping away at an insurmountable enemy I can appreciate it. I don’t know if I’ve ever read a manga with such a grueling breakdown of the strongest enemy.

Yeah, that part of the fight is being done really well. Normally the final villain just gets stalled until the MC gets there, and they start to fight basically at 100% .
