Nobody's Domain Expansion gets them to play The Boys Are Back In Town because that would be, frankly, overpowered. Sukuna is terrified of the boys. But guess who just got back today?

Oddly enough, the Boys of Summer.

(Their domain expansion "Field of Dreams" will totally reframe the baseball training arc.)

I’d be more concerned in the characters spot that he hit a black flash, it’s gonna him a complete refresh in his output. All the weakening that led to his RCT dropping is gonna be moot now.

It's just gonna make whatever Kusakabe pulls off look all the more impressive.

riding the high of his first "fight with purpose" sukuna will assume that kusakabe, as the last sorcerer standing, must represent an equal or greater challenge

this will prove to be his undoing

that post also calls burgers appetizers, which is delusional. a better analogy is that the sorcerers are all taco salads, yuta is a burrito, itadori is a caesar salad with ground beef in it for some reason and maki is syrup of ipecac

Yeah this chapter is good.

gives Kusakabe a cool little moment without defying expectations or belaboring what we all knew would happen too much. I seem to remember Miguel taking quite a few punches from Gojo, so maybe he'll last for two chapters! I hope the distractions are done after that and we move on though, time to see the purpose of Ui Ui teleporting people back to get healed.

He is and he's, as written, a pretty big deal to show up in terms of power/potential. But in terms of actual presence he's a nonentity. Cool design, nice to see him, would much rather see any character we spent any remote amount of time with. I imagine he'll do something cool at least. Or maybe we'll open the next chapter and he'll be cut in half on the ground and we'll move to... let me check here... Inumaki! Hey, it's been a while since we've seen him. Sukuna took his arm, plenty of revenge room.

I really love the meat grinder arc and I can't really explain why. Functionally it's not that different from Madara annihilating an entire army for fun and I thought that was tedious and lame but this just resonates with me for some reason. Sukuna is such a fun villain.

Helps that he isn't 100% no selling in the moment. The rough part of madara running over the majority of the cast (other than guy) is that he is never pushed.

Sukuna might have the dumb 'he isn't even trying' line but you can see him getting hurt and put on the back foot now and again in ways you don't ever see with madara who is an invincible zombie with invincible armor and unlimited energy to power his invincible armor.

its way better than that imo. the only really fun part of the madara slaughter was guy vs madara, and the reason that was fun is because it let both characters look fairly sick in a way that made fans of them enjoy those chapters. every other interaction madara had was just "oops i win". at least in this sequence its similar, the "fodder" characters are getting to look pretty cool and the choreography is really good (imo)

I am sorry. I have no vices for you to exploit.

I just want to know what we're building towards. Surely after Miguel gets Sukuna'd in 10 panels, now that he's actively targeting Ui Ui we'll cut to the next scene and find out what that's all about. The roster is getting pretty thin, but I can't imagine that at the very least Maki or Yuji are down for the count. maybe if they keep wearing Sukuna down, Mei Mei will even decide it's in her best interest to participate.

it feels more and more like the Gojo cut requires more context than we were given, though. If Kusakabe is detecting Sukuna's intent and can predict the world cutter, not to mention all the stuff around it requiring an incantation, it just makes the jump to bisected Gojo feel weirder and weirder. At least tell us that he wasn't used to having to defend himself so he didn't even try
