It looks like everyone was taught Simple Domain. Yuji was taught both Simple Domain and RCT because he had loop holes that would let him figure them out.

Glad to finally get an answer to the body swapping, Gege's usage of these delayed flashbacks can be annoying as you wait for the other shoe to drop but this answered a lot of questions! What is MOST important in this chapter is of course Yuji tanking malevolent shrine like the terminator he is. That panel from the end of culling game was one of the best and this is a RETVRN

Looking good but are we starting to go into abrupt vomitative exposition shonen endgame rush territory? The rapidfire series of answers we're getting to longstanding questions, Sukuna bringing out the fire arrow, etc, make me worried that all of a sudden the manga is about to end in 10 chapters It doesn't actually feel like we're going to get much comeuppance for Sukuna, which I guess is to be expected. I mean yeah he's starting to poo poo himself as he realizes that it's looking more and more like the end of the road if he doesn't end this fight in the next few minutes, but he pretty much proved that he's without a doubt the strongest sorcerer to have ever existed by a considerable margin. "drat, every living sorcerer of note ganging up on me managed to put me down again right after I beat my only rival in the modern world" is still a loss and maybe a blow to his pride though I guess lol

wondering who the second person Yuji swapped with. It’s a huge stretch for him to pull off a domain expansion, but he unlocked Sukuna’s technique after 3(?) black flashes, so 4 more to go, and now it’s revealed he knows domain basics. If there’s any possibility, it’s gotta be one of the DE naturals like Hakari or Hirugima or possibly Yuta. Plus, he already knows what his innate domain looks like since he scuffled with Sukuna there. What would a shrine that does little copy paste scissors look like?

if Yuji's soul got imprinted with most/all of Kusakabe's techniques, I wonder if he can simple domain: throw hands with those gauntlets and give sukuna an extra rapid beatdown. This would also retroactively (further) justify the entire chapter dedicated to Kusakabe's 1v1 vs Sukuna in showing off an aspect of Yuji's skillset

The explanations in this chapter feel pretty weak to be honest, but eh, it's fun and it was foreshadowed. EDIT: Also, lol at Sukuna using Gojo's handsign to open his domain. Fair Bear Maiden fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Apr 26, 2024 |

Twice per person per month, so everyone got switched up? That could lead to some fun reversals though I wish this was said up front and we got a cavalcade of reveals of different twisty techniques during these fights instead of saving it all for now. Yuji being a dodo during these long expositions continues to be amusing, sad to see the crows uselessly getting killed by the domain instead of having been used at any time previously to help fight. Not sure why Open needed to have such secrecy surrounding it given the reveal here either

Julias posted:Fanscan tl up At this point I really do question why everyone doesn't just start pulling out impromptu binding vows whenever they want too. Sukuna may very well just pull off a third one before this fight is over to save his bacon one last time. Besides that, the Ui Ui soul swapping stuff is interesting without feeling inconsistent with everything we know about soul/body rules for the series.

I think the implication is that performing on the fly binding vows is probably actually really difficult and like spontaneously thinking up an alternate proof to a mathematical theorem, rather than just being like "lol if I don't open cookie jars for the rest of my life can my technique be 3x as powerful this once" in practice. Maybe that's a better description for what Sukuna and Gojo have been doing with their domain conditions, but still, obviously there's some technical difficulty to binding vows or else we'd probably see them even more frequently and with more convoluted conditions now, that said, gege's cooking. literally

We're kinda like yuji in the sense that there's some kind of logical process to jujutsu that we're not privvy to. While it can be explained in plain language, the actual mechanics of swapping souls or binding vows is borderline incomprehensible (both in and out of universe lol). i guess ui ui's body swap tech is how they "cheated" their way up to barely being able to stand in sukuna's presence. absolutely the last thing i woulda expected

I would assume the difficult part would be gaining a significant benefit from the vow. Considering Miwa didnt even land a hit on Kenjaku in exchange for basically retiring as a sorcerer I don’t think she did a very good job with it

Miwa's vow failed to produce much power because swinging a sword is not a particularly meaningful thing for her; it's just what she had some aptitude with when she got scouted and she wanted to help pay bills. Katana guy makes the same vow and he probably levels the area.

Popping off a Malformed Shrine here through simplified hand signs + adding extra rules seems entirely consistent between Maki noting Sukuna's RCT had seemingly stopped right before she first got Black Flashed (meaning he was focusing on restoring his Technique), and with how when he used Domain Expansion back in Shibuya the narration explained Binding Vows were part of his masterful implementation of it.RatHat posted:I would assume the difficult part would be gaining a significant benefit from the vow. Considering Miwa didnt even land a hit on Kenjaku in exchange for basically retiring as a sorcerer I don’t think she did a very good job with it While you can include BVs as rote, doing them on the fly definitely comes off as the sort of thing you need to have an intuition for, which is where all the bs about talent or "grasping the nature of Cursed Energy" comes into play.

I don't think the problem with the chapter is that this was unforeseen, it was pretty clearly heavily foreshadowed for several chapters, but it's weird and off-putting to get an explanation that just says "oh yeah he made a lot of binding vows and there uncertainties" in the same chapter that decided we needed a more detailed explanation of how Gojo got his mojo back during the fight.
