I don't want Nobara, Maki, or Mai to die, but I don't see anything wrong with giving them some scars. Their character designs will be extra-distinctive now. :v:

Scars and stuff are cool, but i think its funny that Megumi and Itadori are looking pristine after this last arc. I think JJK has some of the coolest female characters in a while so for the them to be so thoroughly thrashed this last arc is like ehh. Shounen mangas always have a hard time dealing with the female cast and im not against the characters going through hard ship. When you look at it Itadori is the protagonist with the super power, Megumi supposedly has some great destiny, but where does that leave Nobara, Maki, and co? I want them to kick rear end. Nobara especially has a really cool ability for a shounen series and i really like her atypical personality.

The scarring stuff seems to be inline with the whole old establishment vs youth thing. Badass anime ladies with scars are gonna kick some rear end and people like Naoya will probably be made to eat their words

Isn't the thing with these randos getting curse power that they have ancient sorcerer cursed items inside them and are gonna get possessed by ancient bad guys? Cause I think it'd be sweet if we got a new teammate, especially an overworked guy to replace Nanami but isn't it more likely this dude says "None are free of sin!" and bangs his gavel on Megumi's head?

I don't think Megumi gives a poo poo. He already warned her, that if she backstabbed him she would regret it.

I like that analogy of writers as gardeners vs architects. An architect is like "I think it'd be sick for a defense attorney to defend Itadori against his own technique now lets make that happen" vs a gardener who plants a defense attorney character and then is like "hmmm what would happen here if we did this"

Personally, I'm an architect, I want a ninja to do a badass flip so I create that ninja full form out of my brain and command him to do a flip. Does it rule? Yes. Does my creative writing professor like it? Hell yes.

Yea he wasnt willing to murder Yuji over the pachinko thing but because he is in a literal death game. The pachinko thing was just a way to limit Yuji's cursed energy to make him easier to kill.

Shounen manga are just setups to allow for fighting to happen. Go to a place, do a mission, fight some guys, etc. I think "tournament arcs" are clear distinctions in the normal formula because there has to be some greater set of rules applied over the normal logic of the universe.

I think this fits that definition, even if it lands in a subcategory of tournament arc. The manga has contrived a way for a bunch of sorcerers to fight instead of the normal sorcerer vs curse mechanic.

Jesus christ what did I just read

"Don't transmit utter crap like that into my mind" is the only reasonable reaction

So good. Pachinko is bollocks, definitely one of the most obfuscated forms of gambling in existence and it is utterly brilliant to make a domain based on it and to transmit the rules, which are basically a lovely pachinko game, into your opponents brain. Its like information warfare for fighting.

my domain would give me a gun, which i would shoot the other person with

wait gently caress thats already in the manga!!

my domain would drop my opponent into a very tedious TVIV thread where all the posters have latched onto some inconsequential detail of a tv show and derailed all conversation to be exclusively about the inconsequential detail - it would be an "instant kill" domain because the other person would kill themselves immediately

Chapters like this remind me of Bleach when you'd get into those multi fight sections and you cut away from the good poo poo to see like the 2nd least popular arrancar fight the third least popular SS vice captain or something.

I love Maki though, just wish she was involved with something a bit more engaging!
