It bugs me how in the Miles version you can't really tell how the foot is impacting the guy's head. The speed-lines almost make it look like it's coming from the opposite direction as Yuuji's kick.

e3: given the revelations at the start of this chapter, i think it may be a poor idea for sukuna to gently caress yuji's face up in a specific inversion of how sukuna's own is covered

yeah this seems like explicitly yuji's take on it, he visualizes it like a cut or crop tool on a computer. should wait for better translation to speculate further but the leaks suggest that sukuna's thinking about how the CTs can vary according to the user, and the visuals seem to suggest that rather than throwing slashes, yuji's placing them in things he touches.

personally for the first time in a while this is the first time i've been able to follow clearly from visuals alone and that alone has me very excited. the cycle continues, we're so back.

i had not considered your interpretation, which i prefer by miles (and is just a more fun approach to CT). this owns

Given (shitscan spoilers) the chapter's reveal that Yuji is Sukuna's unborn twin, are we to assume that souls are already a thing in the womb, and thus Jujutsu Kaisen is an anti-abortion narrative at its heart?

Life begins at conception and pro-abortion are not necessarily contradictory views. See, Dune. :v:

Yuji isn’t Sukuna’s unborn twin, Yuji’s dad is/was.

But also yes. Women need consent from Sukuna to have an abortion

The whole Maki/Mai thing, the Panda and the independent souls thing, hell even Mahito's bodies being a shape for the soul thing, all setup for this. Excellently played Gege.

This neatly explains projection sorcery's weird 24fps thing as well. It's just Naobito's interpetation of it, not the "actual form" of the CT.

also between this and the mystery shoko heals i have never felt more certain (post-takaba) that we are going to see kenjaku again. but it would be great if we didn't

There’s pretty compelling evidence to suggest that sukuna was a twin.

Bread Set Jettison posted:

I don’t buy the finger thing. I think it’s off somewhere, and will be used against sukuna at some point.

Considering the amount of times “twins are a bad omen” comes up, I think Kenjaku made/incarnated/whatever Sukuna’s twin. Yuji is possibly the reincarnated soul of Sukunas twin. Sukuna probably ate his twin, and maybe even in the womb (since Yuji is some form of cursed womb). Them being a twin means some sort of heavenly binding vow associated with him or something.

There’s a lot of hints that suggest this could be true. The fact that Yuji is uniquely qualified to manage sukuna; Yuji’s similarity to Maki being stronger physically without cursed technique; obviously the physical similarities from past-era sukuna; Sukunas weird body and double of everything... I think the Itadori line was chosen by Kenjaku because they are likely certainly descendants of the same line Sukuna comes from.

This also could be a solid way to power up Yuji for the finale without it being too much of a power-of-friendship-rear end-pull.


God I loving love being right about the whole twin thing.

Edit: Very wrong about Yuji being the 20th finger though from that same post lmao

Edit: pre emptive yes I know I wasn’t the only one with this theory and also yes I’m not 100% correct either because of Jin

Yeah I'm sure this will work.

Also kind of a clumsy reveal here but I'm not sure how you could've revealed it at this point given the circumstances. It'd have made more sense for Kenjaku to have brought it up but then you couldn't reveal it as Yuji is (presumably) tuning Sukuna up. I wonder if Gojo knew too because way back at the start of the series he said Yuji's body would learn Sukuna's technique. The action paneling this chapter is way better than it has been lately too.
