who knows where things are going at this point, but i've always expected the death paintings to be more of a yuji v kenjaku deal i think we're gonna have a couple chapters of some doomed plan with judgeman, which leads to yuji saving megumi (prob how yuji starts to understand the death paintings). i hope it doesn't happen, but yuji could also just "punch sukuna but not megumi" and i wouldn't really blink

if the notebook comes back up again i think it will shortly, because it would only make sense as a straight yuji powerup or something about defeating sukuna the only other option that comes to mind would be something about kenjaku and it seemed like her battle established she didn't really know anything about him

takaba just wrecking kenny would be a funny counterpart to sukuna/gojo people have mentioned plot armor but one of the two/three characters with the deepest connection to him, gojo, is dead. i don't think i expect it to play out, but i could see it happening because sukuna still functions as a big bad. takaba could just wander off afterwards stuker fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Oct 20, 2023 |

i'm wondering if kenny's analysis is correct. it's easy to take what angel is saying as "if he knows his CT is tied to confidence he might not be confident" but it also seems weird to spend 6 pages alluding to something kenny is just going to say outright in the same chapter

we can probably all agree that gojo thinks he's funnier than takaba. the question is if takaba thinks he's funnier than gojo

Tosk posted:I'm waiting to see if jjk is an experiment where Gege is going to leave us all breathlessly waiting for Sukuna's final comeuppance but the bad guys win and we never get the satisfaction, or something brutal happens to Sukuna. Something like what another poster mentioned about Miwa coming into play or even the legendary Nobara cope paying off would be suitable. I'm just wondering if Gege can even think of a good way to execute on whatever he has planned for this ending because I want to think it'll be more entertaining than the takes we got on endgame shonen antagonist from Naruto, MHA, etc... it would have been a lot easier to sell the new folks as possible re-entry points for chars like todo, nobara earlier in the culling games it could still happen but it's gonna seem much more like a balancing asspull to sukuna's latest thing e: i do like the idea of todo/yuta hitting kenjaku earlier, but i don't see the clap thing that OP mentioned in the chapter stuker fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Dec 14, 2023 |

Taima posted:I never got the inference that this is a failing of Gojo's. So he's supposed to atomize his own friend after killing him just in case some curse that looks like a human brain can hop in that poo poo? Taima posted:Also is Gojo really that sentmental? A huge reason Geto had his mental break was Gojo became the strongest and then just kind of hosed off and stopped doing stuff with him. That doesn't read as particularly sentimental, but I'm open to having misread the situation. If he cared more wouldn't he be an old softie and insist on doing missions with his bro? It's clearly established that at that point, no one can tell him what to do, period.

Brought To You By posted:make assumptions about why Gojo never reacted to an attack that subsequently has been shown to be accompanied by finger pointing and possibly a chant i've got my complaints on how that fight ended for sure, but this part never really bothered me much? gojo was characterized as pretty cocky, and infinity has blocked the attack. he probably should have paid more attention to whatever happened with the one mahoraga slash that hit him, but he didn't and now he's dead i don't think the manga has to explicitly narrate that aspect of the conclusion, even if opening in the airport was dumb

ImpAtom posted:I think you have to be willfully dense to claim Nobara wasn't a main character. She was presented like a main character, around constantly, had her own power ups and arcs, and even post-death you have Yuji getting upset at the idea of someone 'replacing' her in the team. but on the other hand, consider how much we learned from all of those conversations between yuji and sukuna Taima posted:JJK is highly experimental in this way. Like, after Shibuya, Yuji just wasn't the main character anymore. And there was no main character! We still don't even know what this motherfucker does. It's nuts. Rampant killing of often beloved characters for no narrative payback. Offscreening several of the most climactic scenes. i know they blew up the cast but yuji is pretty obviously the main character even if he got sidelined for gojo/takaba yuji is the only character who i am completely sure is not going to die in the remainder of this fracas (excluding jujutsu revival bs and this battle taking the remaining 40 chapters) stuker fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Jan 5, 2024 |

Manatee Cannon posted:yea the poo poo scan made me think it was the sword breaking the tool but it seems pretty clear from this that the confiscation just stuck around that's probably the most interesting thing of the chapter for me-- both the confiscation and the sword are coming from higurumi's domain so it seems weird that the two would react differently if/when he got killed i don't think that i like the idea of higurumi still living with a Secret Plan, but the sword cliffhanger is really really dumb otherwise (and hey at least it would be the good guys with an asspull this time)

Bread Set Jettison posted:Extremely funny if Yuta picks up a sword and it’s Ui Uis teleport and he just ends up in another country by accident this aspect actually confused the hell out of me until the end of the chapter, but after the cleave sequence it seems clear yuta knows what ability a sword carries by touching it rather than using it the alternative would definitely make for an entertaining fight tho

this might be influenced by my wanting the Good Team to finally pull off something successfully, but if we're assuming that yuta ate the last finger, allowing him to use cleave-- then if the immediate plan works and they separate megumi/sukuna, that presumably leaves sukuna with one individual to possess who isn't familiar with the being possessed situation i'm probably forgetting something about how the fingers work, but that does set things up well for a weakened sukuna w/ new moves vs. yuji and whoever's left

i think one issue at the moment is since the old leakers got busted everything winds up on twitter until TCB does their thing. i stumbled across some discord that posts the leaks and while they still seem to be cached on discord they've already been pulled from twitter proper so no use linking them here

tried to explain the situation about posting the leaks before (and they are usually very bad), but i think labeled spoilers are a pretty reasonable solution saying "this cannot be discussed in any fashion until TCB releases their version" is as silly as "if you don't want to deal with spoilers don't read the thread until official release"

(e: i should probably clarify i mean a tag like (ch 270) i can't believe gege killed nobara twice) people posting stuff untagged is dumb and should stop, no argument there also if anyone is just frustrated about not being able to see the leaks it seems the invite is just https://discord.gg/jjk i didn't even realize you could do custom invite URLs stuker fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Feb 16, 2024 |

Tosk posted:Also, Yuta does seem to have gotten cleaved but I think he can RCT from that, he's a lot healthier than Gojo was and Sukuna is a lot weaker. He might be out of the fight for awhile though. it is a bit weird to me that this is the one time (excluding the offscreen with gojo i guess) he's used world dismantle without chanting it specifically after the first 3 incantations. i guess they've established he can alternatively use hand signs, but clearly he was able to use a mouth at that point.

That said, I don't blame you for missing it, this chapter is really poorly laid out and drawn. oh yeah agreed on RCT being why he can chant-- i meant that he only chants the first three incantations (scale of the dragon/recoil/twin meteors), but in the kashimo and higaruma fights he also chants dismantle as the fourth or at least he seems to, i suppose that could be an artistic flourish for the technique gege just skipped this time around

Fabricated posted:Gojo could've prevented all of this if he had just become the person he was on the verge of becoming before Geto snapped- he broke himself to take on Geto's conscience in his absence and weakened himself. Toji did the exact same thing in his fight with Gojo; he normally trusted his instincts and had a completely practical outlook where even as powerful as he was he didn't take fights he didn't have to, but he got tempted to finally truly one-up the Jujutsu World that spurned him and bit off more than he could chew. "I twisted myself to affirm myself". having seen what we did of gojo post-toji but before geto snapped, is that even a good thing? at the very least he seemed easily manipulated, but imo it wouldn't be surprising if he succumbed to the same sort of thing sukuna did gojo being a different person invalidates the entire series prior, but fun to think about an outcome where sukuna and yuji were separated and still hate each other but they have to kill gojo stuker fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Feb 23, 2024 |

bit of a wet fart ending after the chapter itself sure, but i agree with the folks saying that sukuna pulling some reversal was inevitable at this point in the fight. everything post-gojo has been "new combatant does something cool"->"sukuna wriggles his way out of the jam" and it's getting annoying i agree, but did anyone really expect maki to go ahead and just win this chapter? separately, maki grinning when sukuna grabs the sword and just swinging him headfirst into the ground is wonderful
