RIP Akaza. We're also rapidly whittling down the amount of pillars that will be in fighting shape.

Living the Dream
New Chapter: Literally too angry to die

Edit: as a random update- Koyoharu and Posuka are no longer the only women in jump. I dunno if it was ever officially said since we don't know more than their names but I believe the mangaka for Jujutsu Kaisen and Act-Age are women.

The opening of the anime uses some cool effects for the sword styles. I wonder if they'll do that in the actual show too. Also the song is pretty catchy.

Started reading this over the weekend and just caught up tonight, Tanjirou is a very good boy, but I also am amused about how batshit insane he goes sometimes. He seems to get in to a lot of fights and then ends up yelling "Get back here you coward! I'm gonna cut your head off!!!" and running like a lunatic after some demon, although this seems to be a pretty common affliction among the demon hunters.

Tanjirou is a good boy, but he's still a boy at the end of the day.

Didn't want to post this in the anime thread 'cause it'd be a dick move but man I'm so glad for it. I'd completely forgotten that Muzan hosed those drunk civilians up because he was called sickly by the time his backstory came up, and it's so great to make that connection.

Yeah I think we're wrapping this series up if we're quickly handling everyone's back stories.

That being said there's something really sad about Sanosuke getting angry about finding out the insect pillar died because he made a pinky swear with her and he takes that 100% seriously.

Realizing what was going on for me, and just the suddenness of this panel on the page, was like a perfect combination of :stare: and "gently caress yes" for me.

It makes perfect sense too

Being a poison specialist, fighting against monsters that eat people and seem to prefer eating young girls, its the perfect gently caress YOU to them

Well he uses a sword and seems to use breaths too so he's probably a former demon hunter.

Kinda wondering if Douma will actually stay dead. Akaza was one rank lower and he quite literally got to "Too Angry to Die" status- only dying finally because he accepted he was beaten.

Him not eating women at all was a good character building touch. The fact he was that powerful from eating dudes was impressive.

I think Douma is strong simply because he ate so many people.
He probably ate his entire cult and then everyone else who came to join or get the blessings of the god child.

Theres a certain sort of enlightenment/immortality through deattached violence thing going on with the Demons. If Akaza didnt remember his old life hed have continued on to become "something else".

Whether Douma can do this or it requires you giving up your humanity and conscience (douma had/has none to begin with) is yet to be seen.

Though gently caress if Douma is still alive because godamnit the butterfly girls need a loving win.
