Charles seems outclassed here. I hope he doesn't get taken out here but also it will feel contrived if Hakari is beaten by a fledgling curse user. Maybe circumstances will force them to ally against someone else in the coming chapters? I want to see where things go with this delusional gaijin manga otaku.

This isn't pachinko. But I feel it simulates the sensory assault of a whole parlor very well. Incidentally this is my domain and it just makes people's heads explode scanners style.

I hope the explanation for why japan is the homeland of curses isn't some weird racial exceptionalism thing but founded on a good historical basis. We know there's foreign sorcerers, but they seem to be an extremely rare exception to the norm. It's not like Japanese society isn't the only place on earth with stressed out people.

edit:I forgot that the Ainu jujutsu society exists in parallel to Japanese jujutsu society so maybe it's a geographical thing.

jjk's is a world where you can be gifted with magic powers that are only more powerful if you actively have disdain for other people because they run on the energy from negative emotions. sukuna is the most gifted of a bygone era where sorcerers constantly fought each other and he loves hurting people

I would say it's more about how maladjusted you are. Takaba doesn't seem to have any malice and is just plain nutty.

Could he even do that? Sukuna is not actually a curse or a vengeful spiritor whatever, right?

Assuming he used CSM to take control of Tengen I'm assuming he can do it to Sukuna

So they're not talking about black flash when they're mentioning critical hits? I hope not. I'd like to see Yuji's apparent adeptness with black flash to be a secret weapon against Sukuna/Kenjaku's utter mastery of curses. Just blow through them with grit and luck.

There is an unofficial translation out link and from what I'm seeing he used Blue to merc Agito, we'll probably see Purple next chapter. Looking pretty bleak though, "Sukuna holding back is our best shot at victory!" from the peanut gallery is a dire flag in a shonen manga if I've ever read one, but maybe Gege will try to upset what other manga have conditioned us to expect

Just to clarify


Does Sukuna classify as a curse now? I just wonder if he's at risk of getting eaten if he loses his body.


I doubt that's the path ahead but I'm really surprised we haven't had any interference yet

He's not reaaally a curse, but he blurs the lines so much that I would consider him as such. In his original life he transcended his humanity to become a being of pure malevolence like some curses are. Gege uses fairly vague language around what he calls sukuna, he's never outright called him a cursed spirit, but he hasn't outright stated what he really is at this point. It's good enough for me to say yeah, he's vulnerable to CSM. I mean, Kenjaku's got Tengen on a string now and the manga really likes flirting with the idea of Tengen becoming some sort of cursed entity if she were to evolve/transcend. I'd like to think CSM is being used in some capacity to control Tengen.

Does Kenjaku not still have Mahito pokeballed away somewhere or is he fully out of the picture?

I believe he expended his spirit to extract idle transformation for that single use. Uzumaki burns through whatever spirits are used in it. As for commanding Mahito's spirit to do it for him comes down to whether Mahito had the skill to pull it off. Only Kenjaku using idle transformation directly with his own status as the second best barrier user would get the result he wanted.

honestly, I liked it after reading. I'm also not entirely convinced he's dead and not just on deaths door, considering his head is wholey intact and Sukanu looks like he wouldnt/wont/will be to preoccupied to go for a capstone killing blow. But yeah I do think this ends the fight and Gojo will be out of commission for quite awhile

maybe he's getting the afterlife chat like kakashi did

I don't think Sukuna's space cutting blade actually changes much. Sukuna is for sure far weaker than he was at the start of the fight. He lost both Mahoraga and his Domain.
