I appreciate how this "evolution" of domains mimics real science. Alchemy was really cool back then but it had to become something scientific in order to replicate results consistently, thus we don't believe in phlegm but we have chemistry and medicine.

He's not "extremely vulerable", he's... normal? Well ok looking how Panda, Todo or, hell, Naobito got treated when in presence of true monsters, being normal is probably being "quite vulnerable". Higuruma would have a field day with this guy lol

189 out I think it's game over for our boy, but I hope he's gained enough of Kashimo's respect to avoid a mutual killing. The best outcome here would be convincing Kashimo to spend his points to set up a rule to move between colonies, going to Tokyo 01 and meeting Higuruma

RatHat posted:Yeah Higuruma never officially joined the group so it makes sense he wouldn’t be there. I don’t have high hopes for his survival though, his power seems too perfect for taking down Sukuna. I’m guessing he’ll try and Sukuna will somehow beat it and kill him anyway. Yeah that was my thought too back then. Kashimo and Higuruma are good "despair fuel", have good anti-Sukuna chances on paper, will be killed nonetheless. Also: no Todo

ImpAtom posted:The problem with a comparison to something like HXH is that HXH kept a fairly straightforward focus and when it introduced new characters it was because they were relevant in some fashion. I get what you're gettig at but this is a weird way to express it, HxH has the biggest cast I can remember in any mainstream shonen I read. It always spent a huge amount of time to explain what's going on in the head of any character and the context to go with it. The four main characters, Hisoka, the Zoaldyck family, the spiders, the ant extermination squad, the ants, the princes on the ship. Hell we were left hanging watching events unfold from the point of view of a completely new character!

I personally find a lot of parallels between Shibuya and the Palace attack. Very similar vibes, full conflict resolution, the main characters are smaller fries, the whole operation turns into a desperate operation very soon, the MCs have to get past impossible odds and the whole situation is complete chaos until the threads start resolving.

Kusakabe meant Gojo simply "contracts space" when he hits, he has no need for black flash. Nanami meant his CT was specifically creating a weak point in a structure, compared to Gojo activating one of the many features of his CT and hitting harder than his whole weak point technique. A whole CT devoted to do a fragment of what Gojo can do casually

Lily Catts posted:Reading the raw, did we somehow skip a chapter or what? hm I went and read it too Jesus Christ WHAT??? Just waiting for the thread reaction now. Anyway, the rough translation says that Sukuna took notice from Mahoraga on how to bypass infinity and used cleave on "reality" around Gojo, offing him offscreen - after all, he never managed to react neither to Sukuna's Cleave nor to the Mahoraga Cleave. He basically lost 2 chapters ago. To salt the wounds: tomorrow he's going to get sealed in the anime Char fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Sep 20, 2023 |

Collapsing Farts posted:I expected him to die, but we might get to see the actual death in the future. I hope, at least. Offscreening the event after declaring Gojo the winner would be a bit...too weird. No last words to the gang and no saving of Megumi either? That's a shame. Hopefully he does what he did last time he "died" and just comes back stronger, but a part of me wishes he stays dead as well so the peanut gallery can get more fights but in t he official translation, it's Yuji and Kusakabe declaring him the winner. I mean, the peanut gallery has been a proxy for the viewer but it has been inconsistent in predicting what could've happened next. DAAMN what a chapter. I wonder what Kashimo can expect to do against this Sukuna though.

wedgie deliverer posted:Theory stuff: I agree and it's the best outcome, narratively speaking. I appreciate Akutami having the guts to off Gojo this way, and the flashback with his only real moral compass (Geto, Nanami, Haibara and principal Yaga) telling him that he hosed up a bit but he also did good in being a model for his students. Also: Maki holding back Yuta; a highly motivated Kashimo going in. I hope he'll go FULL HAM

yum posted:I can't really make sense of the rough TL. Sukuna doesn't say he performed the attack, only that Mahoraga's slashing attack was different from his and that it manipulated its own CE to slash existence itself, which was impossible even for him. My understanding JJK told us more than once that the truly broken powers are usually those that can be applied to concepts. From what I'm inferring from the rough translation, Sukuna thought Mahoraga was some sort of cursed energy analysis entity, who could recognize the domains (in the logical sense) of un-applicability of cursed techniques; when Sukuna made it fire a Cleave, it went through, making Limitless ineffective. Sukuna decoded how Mahoraga did it - his theory confirmed, he replicated it: "apply Cleave to Reality", it doesn't matter if Gojo creates space around him. He's still creating something that is part of "reality". Probably Sukuna didn't even know he could attempt something like this, otherwise he would've killed Gojo much faster. edit: yeah there's a better translation out there that confirms this, more or less Char fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Sep 20, 2023 |

Brought To You By posted:Isn't the JJK: 0 movie pretty popular? I figured that the anime-only crowd would be more familiar with Okkutsu and Geto's whole backstory compared to manga readers during this reveal. tbh I didn't like it that much - the manga is clearly a pilot, JJK became something bigger theme-wise, and there's little reflection of this in JJK0; the movie is a carbon copy of the manga. I would've liked seeing Todo earning his grade 1 status or Hakari clashing with the rest of the sorcery institution. It is competently made but I felt like there was room for improvement.

well I expected Kashimo turning into an energy being for as long as he had CE to fuel the technique, it was the most coherent thing. Oh well. On the other hand, Hakari manages to be the best character even when he's in a single panel. "Can't blame ya."

I personally think having to work with a cliffhanger every 16-20 pages is doing an author a disservice. When I'll be re-reading the Sukuna fight one year from today, I'm pretty sure having Kashimo last 30 pages won't be anything anomalous - this is like Frieza skipping his 3rd form, in the end the narrative was to show that he was completely above any deus ex machina Vegeta, Piccolo and Gohan could pull out. (I might be biased because I think the only two times JJK has dipped in quality were Hakari's first culling fight and Maki's random compressed training arc.)

Describing Naruto as a train wreck seems harsh. After the timeskip it got very inconsistent but hit some high highs. It gracefully glided towards a boring conclusion. Also, it was a manga that was more enjoyable by reading volumes rather than chapters. Now, Bleach...

I R SMART LIKE ROCK posted:this is true for a lot of series. where the week over week especially for complex fights slows the series down to a crawl but on reread you blast through it One Piece rode the "20 pages every week" format better than anything else, on average, but it's a manga where you'd never have a 13 chapters fight between two characters. Chainsaw Man has been borderline unenjoyable in a weekly format. It's incredibly better as a volume-to-volume read. RevolverDivider posted:I can't really be objective about Naruto since even when it was good I found the two leads totally insufferable from start to finish but even with hilarious low points like he was the coolest guy it didn't totally collapse the way Bleach did. I agree with you, the two main leads weren't characters that resonated much with me either, the supporting cast was more enjoyable and the highest highs to me were Itachi and Obito's threads.

Jogo was the heart and the soul of the cursed spirits. They all ended up being pawn in Kenjaku's plot, but Jogo believed. That was way more important than being strong. Yuki? She chose self-isolation. She didn't even manage to ever meet with Gojo. If anything, never getting to know if anything she attempted ever had any result, other than the Geto speech, was how she was done dirty.
