Rigged Death Trap posted:Gotta show off Okkotsu, though outside of Rika hes not much fun, just being inhumanly strong. Honestly wish this was the Yuta that just used other people's techniques instead of being a brick wall of curse energy shaped like a human. The new look for Rika was spooky though and that's one hell of an entrance.

I mean when he slashed Itadori he was clearly going for the kill and it was only sheer reaction that kept Yuji's guts in place. Maybe the sword is gimmicky and designed to manufacture a fake death?

The Notorious ZSB posted:Everyone knows that killing Itadori means tangling with Sukuna, I probably wouldn't want to leave it to chance or my shikigami given how he's magic'd his way out of death before. Restraining and confusing him seems like a good strategy to keep Yuji in the drivers seat to deliver the killing blow vs allowing Sukuna to show up. Isn't that the opposite of the situation? Sukuna won't lift a finger to save Yuji's life and the few times he's actually taken over have just been because Yuji consumed a finger. Even when Chose was about to deliver the coup de grace Sukuna didn't do anything.

I mean even Chose didn't reincarnate until he was shoved into a body and it's possible he doesn't have any plans to give them bodies either. He just wants to recover them so they can all be together. Because all the portraits are special grade as a classification so it'd be weird for some of them to be that weak.

Arzaac posted:Nobara's technique has always been super useful, basically every fight she's been in her technique's either incredibly strong or a hard counter Voodoo fighters are generally instant death and/or people whose attacks completely bypass defense. It's one of the reasons I think you don't see many of them across manga and why a lot of them get sidelined or nerfed. JJK gave Nobara an even bigger buff because any opponent that shares a strong enough bond with other baddies or splits themselves are going to take damage across those bonds.

hosed up chapter. I'd forgotten about Yaga and him getting the death penalty seemed pretty severe just for his association with Gojou but this chapter makes it make sense. So the question of the cores that comprise Panda would likely be Yaga himself or Kusakabe, Takeru, and Takeru's mother.

MonsterEnvy posted:is another different intelligent Cursed Corpse. Do you mean that Takeru is another independent curse corpse? Because I agree but it seems odd to bring up that Panda himself is a 4th consciousness that arises when you have 3 other souls observe each other and then show us that Yaga's research had already yielded the results to copy one soul and the 3 souls used to make puppets like Panda need to be "highly compatible". A mother and son are 2/3 of that equation so I think the implication is that Yaga used them to make panda.

MonsterEnvy posted:Panda was said to be created through three cores. His own and his big brother and sister. Also we can see a bunch of other Curse Corpse's with Takeru so Yaga has presumably made many of them. Panda just seems to have been his first creation. There are two flashbacks. In Yaga's he mentions to Masamaru that his mother will come back to visit him again. This is obviously the flashback before he's detained by the college for making Panda. Then we got Kusakabe's flashback to when the Takeru puppet meets with the original's mother which is a moment that predates yaga's talk with Takeru on the stump. I think the jury is still out on whether or not the Takeru puppet and the others have 3 cores or are just 1 core puppets containing copies of specific individuals. Panda himself doesn't have any specific memories of being a human but the Takeru Puppet more obviously has mannerisms of the original. Or maybe like usual I have a bad read on this story and the simplest answer is that Yaga did make a small village of panda's

MonsterEnvy posted:You misread some stuff. I mean the village of dolls would show that he lied to Gakuganji about knowing how to make sentient curse dolls. But if that's the case and the order you say is correct, I wonder if the current arc will show us more of Panda's past. Because I find it odd that the story emphasized that he doesn't think of himself as human and then show us a subsequent sentient curse doll that clearly mirrors parts of the human that went into making it.

A Sometimes Food posted:Let's be honest, it's really unlikely they'll die here, cause setting up a super misogyny clan whose beliefs get proven correct would be pretty hosed. I know I have crackpot theories but I don't honestly expect her to die here either. But for a character the existed in limbo for months with regards to getting turned into charcoal by Jogo and only Nanami walked away half alive, I'd written her off for a while. Then she not only lives, but this chapter then gives her a glimmer of hope where even her mother gives her some far too late encouragement and she gets punked by her Dad. That's just cruel to a side character

It's a see-saw If Maki had died, Mai would have been able to conjure larger objects and probably in more quantity as opposed to her single bullet a day. She gives her life to accomplish what would likely have been a normal thing for her to do if she weren't a twin. We see how Maki benefitted from Mai's sacrifice. I think this translation makes it slightly more clear how the twin dynamic works here.

Ethiser posted:The way I interpreted it was that it wasn't necessarily a see-saw. They just need to both needed to be in synch in their goals. If they both had had a curse technique and trained hard they could have been strong, but Mai not being interested in getting strong would have held both of them back. It is just that on top of that Maki using her limited cursed energy for strength was hurt because on a spiritual level she shared cursed energy with Mai. No you are correct, Mai was in fact holding Maki back more directly because of her lack of effort negatively affecting Maki's limited cursed energy. But the reason I treat it as a see-saw is because Maki herself cannot have a cursed technique because of the heavenly binding so ultimately for one of the twins to excel the other has to pass on.

Ethiser posted:Megumi is going to be in charge by default once this is all over. Given we were told there was a faction within the Zen'nin clan that was supportive of Megumi because of his relationship with the Kamo and Satoru clan, I assume there will be some people left alive by the end of this. But the combat squads thus far have all been on Ougi's side which is the losing prospect. Plus I don't think everyone is here at the moment given Japan is on fire so bound to be some members who will be coming back home to a mass funeral.

Ytlaya posted:I still don't really get it. How "fast" you could go depends entirely upon how much space there is between the "frames," and how do you do something like punch someone, when technically you're just a static frame at each point? And if you place it on someone else, how do they control their own movements in a way that constitutes "frames"? I also find it confusing how this ability can be used by the user themselves to make them faster or how losing a limb makes one slower. Since it works by enforcing a sort of speed limit to anything in their FOV, it's not like there's an invisible camera following them around

TheHan posted:I’m glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t comprehend 24frames, I think I finally realized the general idea is that you can compress one action (like running towards your opponent) into one second at 24fps. The trade off being you have to commit to that action to get the ludicrous speed boost. Attempting to perform a second action or cancelling the first during your 24 frames sends you to frame hell. Usually your opponent can’t see you taking the 24 steps to complete the action but Maki’s so GOAT’d now that she can. Really I just needed to write this out so someone can explain to me if I’m wrong. I'm just going to go with this even though we've seen people get put in frames for just standing still so is them freezing up also a violation of the rules? In other words Aurora posted:yes, the nebulosity is what makes it jujutsu sorcery It's a good thing the best technique in the series is as simple as clapping your hands.  Todo's hand though

TheHan posted:I think that tracks! This chapter says you’ve got one second to make your 24 frame movement so taking a second to stop and think sends you right to frame hell. I'd say Dagon's first appearance with Naobito was odd because Dagon wasn't making any movements just looking at Nanami's crew from behind a pillar. Your situation applies to when Choze got frozen in a frame while turning around to see where Naoya had moved too but stopped turning when he realized he'd been flanked. And that also makes me wonder whether Naoya couldn't have put Maki in a frame when he tapped her shoulder moments before his attack. Like he touches her but then doubled back to punch her at his top speed, yet it doesn't seem like he activated his technique nor noticed it failing to activate before she molly-whops him because being put into a frame is an instant action and she's still in the 3D realm while he's mentally calling her an imposter. Was she already moving at 24fps or was he just that confident she wouldn't be able to react to him?

But murder prosecutor is 100% my jam and I hope he sticks around long enough to drop a massive Gavel on someone. Also neat look into the history of domain expansions. I take it there were a lot of gimmicky ones in play in the past like the Judgeman one but people thought that was lame when you could just throw infinite [insert element/object here]. But I wonder if Megumi's counts as an old school Domain Expansion since chimera playground doesn't seem to have a sure-kill attack but rather just augments his already present ability to summon shikigami + shadow travel

MonsterEnvy posted:Megumi stated his was incomplete as it does not even have the sure-hit let alone sure kill remembering that let me rephrase my point. Meguro's DE as it is now isn't up to modern standards but I don't think that's to his detriment since he really doesn't need one given his current capabilities. Best case a sure-hit attack would just be like Dagon's, overwhelming his opponent with sheer number of shikigami. But Dagon's DE didn't do much else besides double as a beach resort for his crew. Megumi's DE by lacking a sure kill might still provide him the flexibility to enforce interesting rules like "stepping on shadows acts as sink holes for both parties" and he can create more terrain advantage instead of devoting effort to ensuring his attacks always land. He already dabbed on a special grade curse with just his "incomplete" DE.
