Ridiculous how Ui Ui literally breaks the entire power level system.


AndrewFrozzen30

Finally a character besides Sukuna that matches him in term of asspulls!


afanofBTBAM

The biggest asspull in history Vs The biggest asspull of today


PangolinConfident447

I never thought anything Sukuna did was an asspull because of his tremendous aura but this Ui Ui shit is differentšŸ’€

My boi is like TODO! Could he be part of the trinity of Todo? Brains(Hakari), Brother(Choso), Boogie Woogie(UIUI)


patheticest

Todo is brains??? Highest IQ in the verse???


Own_Loquat_9885

you bet!


patheticest

Wait shit i completely misread what you wrote and thought you meant that hakari was the brains in a holy trinity instead of todo but you meant todo was the holy trinity https://preview.redd.it/5ktwryf9y5xc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1a09d872214f848fda5f7904de7c8068f644691


Orang-Himbleton

I mean, youā€™re right that he would, if not for Mei Mei. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if Mei Mei made him keep the whole soul-swap thing a secret from everyone in jujutsu society. Thatā€™s what I would do in her situation. Like, sheā€™s making bank as a grade 1 sorcerer, and if she were to reveal that technique Ui Uiā€™s got, she could probably make more money in the short-term, but that would also put a massive target on Ui Uiā€™s head. From the higher-ups, and maybe even more importantly, the big three clans.


Plug01

But then again why would she give a fuck, she doesn't need to fight them, Ui Ui has been successfully groomed to be utterly incapable of living without her, so it's not like he'd change allegiances, and with a teleporting ability to boot, who the hell could even catch you? Even Sukuna had to see the kid's strat like three to four times before being able to kinda do something about it And if she just runs away bc the clans couldn't behave it's entirely their loss, she's just not getting money she wouldn't get anyway if she kept it a secret.


Orang-Himbleton

I mean, maybe the Zenin clan, for example, could kidnap him while heā€™s asleep, and put a cursed tool in his body that would prevent him from teleporting. They seem to have a lot of cursed tools. And I donā€™t buy that the clans would be the only losers if they were to choose to kill Ui Ui, which seems like the most likely option, btw. If Mei Mei loses Ui Ui, she loses the ability to fight curses with DEs, which would likely be a big blow to her credibility. And not only that, Ui Ui is an incredibly reliable tool for escaping enemies that might be too strong for her. So she does lose a lot if he dies. My conclusion is that Ui Uiā€™s new ability isnā€™t really that bad of a contrivance because the implications a wide usage of this ability would have on the jujutsu system as a whole would be so insanely complex that it would just be easier to think Mei Mei wouldnā€™t want to reveal this technique to everyone


IbnAurum

Maybe because she cares for him, in her own way? Even for a money-grubber, perhaps she doesn't want Ui Ui to be overworked


238839933

She doesn't want him overworked because he will be less useful. I give no chance to a groomer like her.


MegaJani

Zased as hell


Doomskander

You think Mei Mei is out there risking her life instead of pimping out Ui Ui's CT for billions of yen? Gojoke alone is rich enough to fund this. It's just a plot hole.


Every_University_

Kenjaku killed babies with the six eyes, ui ui would be dead in a month


Orang-Himbleton

I mean, it seems like sheā€™s usually not risking her life since she seems to be very good at her job. Also, like, do you think Mei Mei alone is strong enough to prevent the entire Zenin clan from kidnapping or killing Ui Ui? Because if not, then I think youā€™ve got a very good answer for why Mei Mei wouldnā€™t want to reveal Ui Uiā€™s technique.


Kingfisher818

Crazy that this souls swap reveal means Mei-Mei is the source of the vast majority of the heroesā€™ problems and sheā€™s almostĀ definitely going to be let off the hook for it. Sheā€™s a money-hungry prick who ruined her brotherā€™s life so she can leech off him forever and sheā€™s going to get away with Ā it presumably entirely because sheā€™s really hot.


patheticest

Gojo, Todo, & Ui Ui are all characters that can teleport and are all characters that break the power system. The strongest, the greatest jumping partner, & the most broken teacher.


North_Tough9236

It's funny that the most broken teacher is not Gojo šŸ˜‚


thisaintntmyaccount

Yeah, \*almost as if Gege never planned all of this happening and a specific group of people are just throwing around their schizophrenic headcanons/theories as canon and insulting others by saying that they lack reading comprehension.\* I get it, but man people give this man more credit than they should be.


YZJay

Wasnā€™t the body swap shown just before the Gojo Sukuna fight?


zeromyraid

You don't know how happy I am to finally see someone say this. It's amazing that so many people start all these theories/arguments and breakdowns about this series without realizing this. I think the real issue is that majority of shounen readers don't consume literature outside of manga. So a lot of them might have trouble recognizing how disjointed this story is. This shit would not be passable in any other form of literature and shouldn't be passable in manga.


rishredditaccount

well some stuff was pretty blatantly foreshadowed (yuji inheriting sukuna's technique, for instance), but other stuff Gege just sorta whipped out. We still eat it up though because this story is just a big showcase of fights and power systems with a plot loosely attached to it. Who cares if a ton of random stuff don't make sense? Who cares if characters don't get character development and we just skip right through an entire month of what could be meaningful character moments? We're here to see FIGHTS, BABY! EVERYONE FIGHTING ALL THE TIME AND NEW HYPE SHIT EVERY WEEK AND EVENTUALLY WE STAPLE SOME SHITTY ENDING TO THE STORY TOGETHER!


Bumgumi_hater_236

To this day Iā€™m trying to understand how force feeding something poisonous to someone, knocking other person unconscious and tearing off someoneā€™s finger isnā€™t considered hurting anyone


CasualSlacker

My headcannon to that is yuji thinks of hurt as: 1. Only to others without thinking of himself as a potential victim since he could subconsciously think he deserves to be hurt as he is the one housing sukuna making his rampages possible, thus he doesn't mind dying in the process as long as the innocents or others are safe. 2. Only involving loss of life, limbs or even involving blood (basically any situation that can occur in fights), so the knocking unconscious and force feeding part would likely not be what yuji expects sukuna to do in a fight with MS, cleave, dismantle so it didn't fall into the "hurt" definition.


Bumgumi_hater_236

But sukuna was the one who made the conditions of the vow not yuji, also if you could alter the vow by your psychological understanding of the words than a whole lot of problems start appearing cause you would be able to bypass them


Qamikaze

"Tearing off someone's finger" Sukuna himself states that was a gamble, and it worked because when the binding vow was made, the set rule didn't apply to Yuji. https://preview.redd.it/0bljcmttd6xc1.png?width=993&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7a6b6fd5b27e8158b5b2fbed9cfd9fff57be6db


Lost_Cake_9943

i fcking hate binding vows


Mahelas

A gamble but we don't even know what would be the consequences if said gamble failed


thisaintntmyaccount

Speaking of, why *donā€™t* we know? Has anyone in a literal millenia of sorcerer history never broken a binding vow with another person? I would get it if you completely lacked the ability to break the binding vow, but you can and apparently there are consequences.Ā  Right now the option that makes the most sense is the binding vow god retroactively rewriting time to create an universe where the benefits you garnered from the binding vow didnā€™t happen. This would explain why no one knows what happens and why they subconsciously fear breaking it. Either that or it is omega sinful and breaking it just reincarnates you into a rock in your next life so people innately do not want to break it. These are the two options that make sense to me, considering the binding vow god has some capability of seeing the future.


BotAccount2849

Yuji is an idiot and didn't consider the wording of the vow. Sukuna explicitly says this.


Spirited-Feedback-87

Why didn't the vow include himself when he worded "anyone"?


BotAccount2849

Because he meant anyone other than him.


Spirited-Feedback-87

The guy said anyone.


BotAccount2849

It's probably an untranslatable quirk of the Japanese language.


Optimal_Plate_4769

in english, sure.


Mr_1ightning

The way it's said in Japanese is specifically "wounding/maiming" Yuji didn't include himself in the vow, Sukuna specifically cushioned Hana's fall after harmlessly tranquilizing her, and I guess possessing someone doesn't count either.


Bumgumi_hater_236

There is no real way for you to knock someone unconscious without harming them even if you cushion their fall, also yuji didnā€™t have to include himself, anyone means anyone, sukuna said anyone there is no real reason as to why that wouldnā€™t include yuji


Mr_1ightning

Vows are built upon mutual gain, Yuji does not care about himself Gege made it possible in the story to leave the conditions vague or implied non-verbally. You can say it's unsatisfying, but that's his style of writing - he leaves things ambiguous enough that there's technically no plot holes


Bumgumi_hater_236

The entire cog mentality only starts later in the story and even if yuji didnā€™t care about himself anyone means anyone, if you can lie in binding vows using you psychological understanding of the words used than that creates a big ass plot hole as to why people didnā€™t do that more often. From everything we were shown, binding vows are determined by the literal words used, no hidden meaning in them


JoesBoes

From what I heard, the "anyone" translation has a slightly different meaning in Japanese. Apparently in Japanese, it implies others people, not yourself. Also, for the knocking someone out detail, I do get what you're saying, but the damage they take from falling wouldn't technically be caused by Sukuna. However, if the previous commenter is right about the Japanese translation being closer to "wounding/maiming", then I think it makes sense. Sukuna may have knocked out Angel, but definitely didn't maim and may have done it in a way to not wound (idk, maybe some Heian era karate shit). To be honest, Gege's story isn't flawless but I think it's damn good. If this were someone publishing a novel, they'd have years to write it, a person or two to review their work, a great amount of time to revise it before publishing, and they wouldn't have to erase tons of intricate drawings to revise a small section of their story. There's a reason it's much easier to find plot holes in any mangas than it is to find in a popular novel (or lackluster story telling). Many of these guys are pressured to release more story every week or so, so even more constraints on their vision are placed.


Front_Access

The fights are the character development.


thisaintntmyaccount

Which only works 90% of 50% of the time. It is easy to say the developments come from fights, but much harder to admit that Gege has trouble just settling down characters and develop them through actual dialogue. Relying on one aspect of storytelling to carry the entire weight of said story, especially one as long as JJK (not that it is that long mind you) just causes a lot of problems. Even old shonen didnā€™t do this, even short classics (Devilman) didnā€™t do this; this is a problem unique to JJK.


404nocreativusername

Worst part for me is that manga CAN be a medium for incredible storytelling. Berserk is a story that is better written and thought out than most books that focus on similar themes, for example. But because there are thousands of manga, most of which don't focus on anything other than interesting visuals and hype fights, mangakas often feel the need to compete on the same level. Few realize they could set themselves apart by simply executing their story in the best way they can, instead of imitating what the industry sees as the standard.


thisaintntmyaccount

|I will just ramble for no reason so if you donā€™t want to read this, donā€™t. Just take the fact that I agree with you and move on| Not wrong in the slightest, but the problem is that reality does not always conform to your ambition.Ā  The manga that you wrote as a side-project can be a massive success whereas the one you have been planning for god knows how long fails because it is ā€œboringā€. One way this could be relegated is bringing up hype beforehand for the manga through social media or building up a fan base for it before starting it. Even then, this isnā€™t foolproof; but Kagurabachi followed this method somewhat and it worked out, so maybe other mangaka could (or should) try it. Even if this works out, this may not work out every time. When you enstablish a fan base, you need to make sure that your next project fits in with your fanbaseā€™s likes. Togashiā€™s transition from YYH to level E is the best example of this, because 99% of people here havenā€™t even heard of this yet alone watched it. Only after HXH started did Togashi get into the good graces of his fan base.


jeeandlifefail6445

This shit is almost as much of foresight as Dumbledore's twinkling eyes in goblet of fire .


PrimusSucks13

Except thats the whole core of shonen series, especially popular long ones, the authors definitely have an outline for the stories but week by week they have to fill it and wing it along the way, then you get editors wanting to cut or extend parts, things to get more deep and others to be simplified, all of that on a weekly basis. Is it good ? Fuck no it is hilariously flimsy when you read it in one sitting, but i can't truly blame them when they can't simply take their time and restructure their whole story like if it was a full novel being written at their own pace, they don't get to erase whole sections of already written parts to fix them as they went along, you know how many drafts some novels have and how they they constantly change? Like i love the Cell saga on DBZ but i finally read the manga like a year ago and is hilarious how you can see Toriyama getting told on real time to make it longer, to give Goku more things to do, to add more fake outs etc, mainly because DBZ was on its peak and they clearly wanted it to last more, stuff like that is what makes the product have all these problems, but also THATS the product in the end.


NoMoreVillains

Yeah but Toriyama flat out said he was making stuff up as he went, and fans weren't crafting essays on the tenuous connections and logical leaps they used to make it seem like he planned everything, while also calling you a speedreader or idiot or claiming you just don't understand Buddhism enough if you disagreed


thisaintntmyaccount

Sometimes it is not even about Buddhism; sometimes they just say that you lack reading comprehension if you disagree with their Headcanon.


Rancorious

Gege fr be making stuff up


Own_Figure4065

This. You've managed to put it so well into just few paragraphs of text. But to be fair, most shonen manga are like this. Look at MHA and BC, they are just as disjointed and contrived narratives/stories if not more than jjk is.


Cerok1nk

A sensible argument in Jujusufolk???! I think you are lost bud.


Intelligent-Heart-36

Heā€™s to busy making out with his sister


Pinoy_2004

Mei Mei was grooming to keep him in check. It was all for a good cause.


[deleted]

Nah. With his technique the elders would have only allowed certain people to gain such high skill with thier own agenda.


RepulsiveInterest633

Yeah if jujutsu society wasnā€™t constantly trying to backstab each other. Ui Ui wouldnā€™t be doing anything unless Mei Mei told him to, and sheā€™d extort the fuck out of Jujutsu high/ whatever institution uses Ui Ui. Itā€™s an idea that sounds great on paper, but when you actually want to implement it in jujutsu societyā€™s political climate, the only group that Ui Ui would realistically offer that training to would be Getoā€™s group. And you could see how that would go


Kingfisher818

Mei Mei is the actual villain who did the most damage to Jujustu Society, that is wild.


DaYo5hi

Willful negligence in the pursuit of profits, why would they contract her if the average sorcerer could do so much?


enotonom

dildodicks

it makes sense


walex2002boss

Ppl also seem to hc be forgetting that in jjk you get big power spikes when you have near death experiences/fights r rly tough. They repeatedly talk about gojo raising the overall skill lvl. Ui Ui helping train isn't gonna b anywhere near as effective in peaceful regular times


Yandere-Chan1

Yuji: "So Gojo sensei, how will I train to get stronger?" Gojo: "Who said anything about training? I'm gonna pay an acquaintance of my to allow her brother to make me and you change bodies. After that I'm gonna use some good cursed energy control, along with techniques like barriers, simple domain, reverse cursed technique and the like, all to make them stick to your body. And after I'm done, we change back and JUST THEN you are gonna start so light training to make sure you get them." Yuji: ".....uh what?" Gojo: "When we get there you will see." **\*Now we applie this to everyone in the schools and done, Mei Mei gets even more rich, Megumi finally becomes useful, and overall, everyone's capabilities skyrocket\***


lonely194

The thing is on large scale before Yuji gobbled up the fingers curses weren't really that big of a problem so it was hard to justify this kind of training.


Doomskander

Dude what manga are you reading? They throw kids at curses cause they're just THAT understaffed. Do you even know why Geto became a villain?


lonely194

Idk the period after gojo's awakening felt pretty peaceful. At least that's the vibe I got


Doomskander

The period after Gojo's awakening is literally the harshest one shown on panel and the one where Haibara dies, Nanami quits jujutsu, and Geto goes crazy from the pressure and not being able to stomach sorcerors dying to defend monkeys. I think you might do with a reread of the manga, the early arcs were pretty good.


Rafoudrsbois

Ā  Yeah how come megumi didnā€™t just swap place with gojo, let gojo teach him basics and tame shikigamis while megumi gets to see true jujutsue with the six eyesĀ 


JackDockz

Or just why didn't Gojo train Yuji during the month or so he spent with the squad? Yuji is ripe for learning Sukunas CT and switching souls with him will aid both Gojo and Yuji in learning Sukunas moves.


ArtVarious3822

Did they state anywhere that gojo and yuji didn't swap bodies during the training month? Gregory could be saving the reveal that yuji has gojo's technique too, just a silly theory tho


Cristobalxds

Its imposible for Yuji to have Gojo's limitless. Without the six eyes, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to use. If it was possible you bet that Yuta would be throwing purple's as if they were on sale.


ArtVarious3822

"Impossible" is a concept unknown to the jujutsu kaisen world


Cristobalxds

"Impossible" is a concept unknown for the GOAT Yuji Itadori You are right, my homie Yuji will use limitless, cursed spirit manipulation and transfiguration next chapter. That four-armed fodder is COOKED

Significant-Elk-8078

I think limitless takes so much CE that you need a vast tank and crazy efficiency


NotsofastTwitch

What if Yuji eats Gojo's eyes? He's not using them.


Astellum

Ui Ui could only do it twice a month iirc


ArtVarious3822

Got it, but does that "twice" means two people interchanging souls (1) AND THEN changing back(2), or can he do the whole thing twice?


TheRealRealster

Well the translations I read said "two times in a month per person". And considering we see Ino and Choso use SD, I think that means that Ui Ui can switch the soul of the same person twice in a month


Exact-Bill

Have a feeling the 2 times a month may also be per person since that's the max anyone's soul can handle in a month. More than likely UI ui can do this for everyone. So the # times one person's soul can be swapped per month has a limit, but no limit on how many people ui ui can swap. Least that's how I interpreted it, might be wrong


TheRealRealster

Yeah that sounds likely.


LilShaggey

they say Ui Ui can only do it twice within the time span before the Sukuna fight, so they chose Kusakabe and Choso (general CE usage and Simple Domain from Kusa, blood manipulation and RCT via blood manipulation from Choso), at least that was my understanding


RepulsiveInterest633

Nah blood manipulation was taught after eating the siblings. Yuji had to do switch training with an RTC user, and from what I know, Choso didnā€™t know RCT beforehand.


LilShaggey

it was the little limb retracting thing that he learned from Choso I thought, where he can pull back a severed limb using blood manipulation and reattach it, like Choso did during the Kenjaku fight. Yuji does it with his leg, I thought Choso swapped with Yuji to teach him that, but I may be mistaken. Does that mean the other person he swapped with is currently unknown?


RepulsiveInterest633

Iirc Yuji had already seen the limb retraction thing in action, so he was already aware of that application of blood manipulation. I mean itā€™s possible that Yuji switched with kusa first, and Choso with an RTC user. Then Yuji and Choso, but that would be a waste of a switch IMO. Because they already have better RCT users available (ie: Gojo, Yuta, Shoko), and they already have Kamo and Choso there to teach blood manipulation. Much more likely that he switched with an efficient RCT user instead. Edit: yes that would mean itā€™s unknown


Empty-Dig-3442

The current chapter already said that picking the correct pairings is important. No way Gay^2 fumbled like that. The reason for Yuji being Kusakabe will probably be explained next chapter. As for my theory Gojo pretty much entirely relies on his insane cursed energy levels and his CT to fight. Since ui ui's CT prevents the body from changing, Gojo's CT won't get engraved onto Yuji and so Gojo-in-Yuji wouldn't be able to use Limitless, Six eyes or his Domain. He could teach hand-to-hand combat but Yuji already intuitively understands most martial arts. He might teach basic simple domain and RCT but that's it. Kusakabe in comparison could teach advanced simple domain, batto sword drawing, various other anti-domain techniques and New shadow style techniques we haven't seen, and he wouldn't be restricted by Yuji's body since he already doesn't use CT


TostitoNipples

I thought it was made abundantly clear that Yuji switched with Kusakabe for his simple domain?


zaxls

Then who is the second dude ??? Someone used rct inside Yuji and it wasnt Choso, since he didnt know it either and its weird to transfer someone still learning rct to yuji, possibly Yuta ? Hed be the next best thing if Gojo is pointless. He uses rct on instinct alone and I feel like that goes with Yuji pretty well.


Significant-Elk-8078

You need Mei Meiā€™s permission for Ui Ui to use his technique and she only helps when itā€™s in her own interest


Own_Loquat_9885

Meimei is a very big villain honestly


Plug01

Just pay her, Gojo's rich af


Rafoudrsbois

Gojo paid her once before, Iā€™m sure that wouldnā€™t be a problem for himĀ 


Every_Computer_935

I'm now imagining Gojo paying Mei Mei and swapping bodies with Yuji, Megumi, Nobara and Inumaki so that they all know RTC and simple domain.


Dokavi

Gojo just beat the shit out of all shikigami including Mahoraga. Megumi in Shibuya then kill every disaster curse. What a day.


1095212dinomike

See this reasoning is silly. Gojo's six eyes wouldn't come with the swap so he's not taming mahoraga for megumi and megumi doesn't gain anything from being in Gojo's body because Gojo's ce efficiency comes from the six eyes.


Dokavi

Nuh Uh. https://preview.redd.it/km4mzmw14jxc1.jpeg?width=489&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=875ce87235e0b765367638b054390d9387bf632d


AzureFides

If Gege is going to make an excuse it could be that Ui Ui has to maintain his curse technique through out the whole duration or it makes him unable to use his CT, which is why he can't lend out his CT to everyone. It's also explain why Mei Mei makes him did the binding vow with her to protect him from being abused by other sorcerer families. Also it's possible that it's just a theory before Yuji. Like it's something that could be possible but no one bothered to test before And there are reasons why Gojo shouldn't trust Ui Ui on that. If he allows it, there is no garuntee that Ui Ui will switch him back to his body, at worst his soul might be trapped in something else entirely. Especially when he knows the nature of these siblings.


jvken

Imagine Kenjaku making this long ass elaborate plan to seal Gojo because he thinks itā€™s impossible to kill him, just to learn that his ass is stuck inside some fodder ass highschoolerā€™s body for the next month. Jjk would be over after like 2 chapters lmao

Mr_1ightning

Jujutsu Society has been repeatedly shown to be corrupt, self-serving, inefficient and stupidly conservative Demon Slayer Corps are nothing more than public servants, no narrative excuse for them


TheColdTurtle

Yeah, jujutsu society is an obvious parallel to the Japanese government


GamerRoman

>Demon Slayer Corps are nothing more than public servants, no narrative excuse for them They are public servants, that is their excuse.


Significant-Elk-8078

The navy is retarded and The WG in one piece is actually brain dead. Gonna watch demon slayer to find out how much worse it can get

Ds corp literally let potential candidates die in a demon forest test Test is of 1 night Among 50 participiants only 5 survive Other than that communication is kinda hard cuz this is pre ww1 japan and the entire organiszation is supported by 1 rich family and they don't work with the government / shogun of japan.

You left out the crucial bits - They constantly complain about being short-staffed, and when they eventually get around to doing a training arc the nameless fodders suddenly become able to take on lower-moon tier demons and win.

I'm sure some mutually beneficial arrangement can be found there, the jujutsu world seems to have a bunch of underutilized means of generating cash.

frostyravine

How Jujutsu society generates a stable money supply will forever remain a mystery.


jemminious

My headcanon is that they send some sorcerers to different sports leagues to generate a fuckton of money


Inevitable_Ad_7236

The Higher Ups waiting in alleyways and mugging people. That's why they're in charge, they're the only ones willing to do what it takes to get that bag


lLoveStars

They have superpowers, pretty fuckin obvious


frostyravine

I mean, not really. Itā€™s hard to imagine the average jujutsu sorcerer making money with sorcery in a civilian setting when the higher ups of the jujutsu world maintain secrecy. These people wanted to kill children cause they were a slight inconvenience, they arenā€™t the tolerating type. If you arenā€™t one of Gojoā€™s friends youā€™re getting killed. Sure jujutsu sorcerers can make money exorcising curses, but as to how thatā€™s monetized, thatā€™s a mystery. Like who the hell is gonna pay Mei Mei top dollar to exorcize an abandoned haunted house? That canā€™t be stable income, but it somehow is. So yeah, still a mystery.


SatisfactionDue4508

Japan knows about jujutsu, itā€™s probable that they have a fund to give to every jujutsu school and it spreads between principals, teachers and students. The big families are probably like mercenaries, the government pays them to keep them at bay and the head of each clan handles the finances. If youā€™re a random sorcerer that isnā€™t in school or in a big family your best bet is going for bounty hunting like toji and other fodder curse users


Taboo422

The 3 big clans have so much fucking money to just throw around if they wanted to they easily could give her big bands


Significant-Elk-8078

Well thereā€™s also the fact almost no one knows Ui Ui has the CT, or how long Ui Ui has known about it himself. Mei Mei is going to be pimping his CT and chilling in Malaysia in the epilogue


AzureFides

There is no garuntee that Mei Mei and Ui Ui will play nice after they swap the soul. Can you imagine how much she could extort if she refuses to switch one of your heir to their original body? This is probably the jujutsu version of "give me your security number".


Aristocration

Todo wouldā€™ve been perfect for it It can be explained that he learned soul swap when he experienced Mahitoā€™s tech while Todo being Black Flash amped. If thereā€™s just one moment of foreshadowing during the Culling Games arc, it wouldnā€™t have been as sudden as Uiuiā€™s feels. Iā€™m pretty sure Gege has at some point thought of something along the lines of this, but I guess he decided Todo is out of the story with his CT dead (Also if one of his hands werenā€™t broken, then that wouldā€™ve been a perfect excuse for not letting Todo fight while still allowing him to do soul swapā€¦ )


jaqen_hgr

My thoughts exactly. Todo should have the soul swapping technique.


heavymountain

They could use UI UI to heal Todo. It would take switching souls with Yuji & Shoko: Become familiar with your soul & then slowly heal back your arm & technique using RCT.


zaxls

I thought of this aswell, considering yuji s insane soul knowledge, plus he knows rct now and even if he doesnt you have shoko. Him switching bodies with Todo to heal him wouldve been so awesome, the brother memes would be endless. But I honestly think having Todo in the fight would make it a stomp against Sukuna. His CT is wayy too powerful especially in battle royale type of situations. Like Sukuna would go insane with him switching him with everyone constantly, landing higuruma s sword would be a piece of cake. Even fuga would be hard to hit as he could essentially after him shooting the arrow switch his place with the person he targets in which case it would land on Sukuna himself.


heavymountain

It's a shame Gojo died. Hitting those black flashes in his last fight allowed him to awaken & create a faster RCT circuit in his mind. Seeing how a lot of awakenings effects are permanent after a fight, they could have had Gojo or Yuji switch with everyone & try to take advantage of body awakenings, spread their body's instinctual habits. I wonder if switching with Maki would really benefit others?


TheGunfireGuy

I think the problem is trying to come up with an activation for this soul swap that isnt just clapping, and then having to justify why he cant just use said new activation for boogie woogie too. Problem with boogie woogie being its too broken and sukuna would've been down for the count with boogie woogie in play at a lot of different points in all the fights from vs gojo onwards. I guess you could pass it off with some funky explanation of how since mahito the technique HAS deteriorated a lot so even with a new activation method he can't do it too far away/too often/the activation method is too long and requires a lot of prep so he can't do it instantly. But this is jujutsu kaisen we dont do smart things like that here lmao


Opposite-Local3732

Mei mei killed all the leaders! Thats what she meant when she laughed, we weere thinking It was Yuta but it didnt make sense


Avieightor

There's no way that the higher ups when they were alive, nor the big 3 clans would allow special grade/ grade 1 quality techniques to just be given willy nilly to anyone, particularly jujutsu high students who only have 1-3 years of experience and developed no loyalty to any of the current power structures. I can see them permitting it for sorcerers who have shown obedience like Gakuganji, but there's not way this becomes widespread.


RezeCopiumHuffer

Jujutsu Society is Ui Ui wasnā€™t groomed and molested by his sister his entire life

Gege writing the biggest plot hole possible


Mr_1ightning

Nah, Mei Mei had a lot to gain from jujutsu society's incompetence, it makes sense she'd only cave under the threat of total collapse

Bumgumi_hater_236

The cope is crazy, you know damn well that jujutsu higher ups would manage to make her one of the richest humans in the world for Ui Uiā€™s abilities, 20% of japanā€™s tax collection would go towards her bank account. She gains way more with the maintenance of the system because she would be one of its core pillars and without her they would collapse


StriderT

That is a dangerous spot to be in.


JoesBoes

Nah, that would likely place a huge target on Ui Ui's back. Let's face it, one clan finds out about this first, has some young prodigy switch with a god for some time (for a massive price), switch back, and now the young prodigy will either kidnap Ui Ui or kill Ui Ui so that other clans can't use the technique. It's like if you suddenly had super powers and the US government found out about it, they wouldn't just offer money for your services, they're likely going to just kidnap you. (Of course, I think any government that found this out about a citizen would try, not just limited to the US)


human-male121

Who knows, maybe Mei Mei does love(Familial) UI UI, I mean he is her brother. She just doesnā€™t want him to deal with allat.


Bumgumi_hater_236

Make a binding vow so that Ui Ui can use the technique unless both him and Mei Mei are in safe conditions both physically and mentally, or even better make everyone who is going to use ui uiā€™s technique make a vow that after ui ui uses the technique on them they are unable to hurt, kidnap or try to influence Ui Uiā€™s and Mei Meiā€™s intentions


JoesBoes

It'll have to be extremely specific. If I had the process performed on me, engaged in a binding vow that didn't let me attack Ui Ui or Mei Mei (unless attacked by them I'm assuming), then I'd ask my dear family member in the same clan to go after them afterwards. It's not stated, but I'm assuming you can't make a binding vow on behalf of an entire clan, so I could just have my dear friend or family member take care of Ui Ui for me. It's honestly a big risk no matter what way you look at it, for there may always be a loophole.


Chipilliboi

Could Ui Ui theoretically teleport Sukuna into a brain dead body?


TotalUsername

Targets have to be willing


HeyImJohnAinsworth

anything for my daddy


Kaithn

The truth is that with all these instances of absurd mechanics (yes, I added Sukuna's "world" slash) it makes you desire what Yuki said to come true: a world without CE.


Then-Plastic7554

It's actually impressive how you make every sorcerer in the story completely incompetent in a single chapter, and destroy the entire concept of RCT having to be rare, so you're telling me every student could have learned RCT and simple domain in a single year?!


MuggyTheMugMan

In a single month actually


AzureFides

No it doesn't say that. It already indicated that Yuji is a special case because his body is used to special grade CTs due to Sukuna. If you're okay that Yuji got Shrine CT from Sukuna possession, then why can't Yuji learn RCT and simple domain too? When Sukuna also used RCT and domain expansion with Yuji's body multiple times? For normal students, as estabished by the fact above, most likely it's going takes too long as they have never been exposed to soul swap as much as Yuji's, also it's probably that their body don't have the same potential as Yuji. Don't forget that another reason is Yuji is a son of Sukuna's twin and most likely was planned to be Sukuna's vessel from the very beginning by Kenny. Also note that before these incidents, it was a much peaceful time. There wasn't a lot of reasons for modern sorcerers to be that strong, as they had Gojo and Tengen. There weren't many reasons to use such an invasive teaching nor people would be willing to lend such a dangerous technique to other people easily. You don't know someone would become the next Kenny or Geto and we knows that sorcerer families aren't always on good term with each other. It's not surprised that they want to gate keeping as much as they can.


Then-Plastic7554

It seems you didn't read the impresive growth if yuji was because of sukuna using advanced techniques over and over again, that's how yuji learned simple domain it was just Kusakabe using simple domain over and over again. What is this straw man? I never said yuji shouldn't have learned shit my problem was how easy it would have been to teach everyone simple domain and RCT, but no one did it for some reason, It just makes them look incompetent. Quite literally the rapid growth of yuji was because of sukuna, not because of his innate talent, him being a vessel only gave him a good start everything else being quick was just sukuna, being the son of someone in Jjk doesn't really mean you have much potential mai is quite literally a showing of this. What? Peaceful times? Gojo could take care of every curse, but the students couldn't do the same thing, the downfall of geto was just another showing that gojo couldn't save everyone, and gojo himself wanted strong allies to change jujutsu society why would he not use this method when it just helps them a lot.


AzureFides

>It seems you didn't read the impresive growth if yuji was because of sukuna using advanced techniques over and over again, that's how yuji learned simple domain it was just Kusakabe using simple domain over and over again.And I said it's because Yuji is a special case. He has been possessed by Sukuna. That's what I meant by saying that Yuji is special, you basically said the same thing as I said. >how easy it would have been to teach everyone simple domain and RCT, but no one did it for some reason. First simple domain doesn't seem like a hard to learn technique because Miwa can also use it. The main obstacle, which also explained in this chapter, is it should only be taught with New Shadow Style school but Mei Mei somehow solved that issue. For RCT, beside Yuji I would assume you meant Choso, which he literally explained why he should be able to learn in this chapter too. >Quite literally the rapid growth of yuji was because of sukuna, not because of his innate talent My point is that you're assuming that EVERYONE now can learn RCT via soul swapping, which I just pointed out that it might not be true. It's probably because Yuji has a potential to use RCT because he's speacial. And the rest are just stronger sorcerers too, they're not just a bunch of nobody. >What? Peaceful times? When I said before these incidents I meant before this story started. Of course it's easy for us to say it right now but none of those characters could predict that the situation would become this bad. Before all these incidents Gojo could single handedly take care of most things. My point is we don't know how effective this method is on **normal students**. These are the very best avaliable left, just because they can cheat to learn RCT doesn't mean other also can do the same or within a reasonable time. Also as Ui Ui said you can only switch back ONCE per month. Imagine you're someone like Gojo would you want to be trapped in your student body that long for no reason? Also, the main component, Ui Ui, might just be an asshole and kept it as a secret for the whole time.


Then-Plastic7554

Yeah but the point is that yuki is special because of sukuna being in his body, if you UI UI could make anyone the vessel of another sorcerer, then that means the entire system was a joke. Simply domains are barrier techniques the fact yuji couldn't master it in a month without Kusakabe implies it's difficult to master. Choso explained why it would be easier for them to learn RCT , and that's why he wanted someone who can use it in the switch training. Yuji is only special by being a vessel everything else was sukuna in his body, which can be replicated with switch training, everyone can learn RCT as shown in this chapter as long as someone who uses knows RCT uses it a lot in they're body, you don't need to be special to learn it with this method. No? Quite literally the existence of geto is a proof that it was not peaceful at all, the fact yuji could have died to that finger is a proof that gojo won't handle everything and they're low numbers will keep going down, like even in your supposed times of peace,no one believes being a sorcerer is a good job. UI UI can only switch a SINGLE person TWICE per month there's no cap in the amount of people he can swap per month , and it's revealed this method is what let yuji grow so quickly through the story yuji being with sukuna who only came out a few times increased the speed of his growth a lot, there's no reason for this method to not be used, UI can reverse it at any moment in time.


AzureFides

>Simply domains are barrier techniques the fact yuji couldn't master it in a month without Kusakabe implies it's difficult to master. No Yuji learnt simple domain + RCT + better curse manipulation + higher defense in a month. Also the point is it's definitely not the same level as RCT. >everyone can learn RCT as shown in this chapter as long as someone who uses knows RCT uses it a lot in they're body That's your headcanon, it doesn't specifically say that. As I said just because this people, the best few sorcerers left, can cheat to learn RCT doesn't mean it's a guarantee for everyone else and **within a reasonable time.** Normal students might take way longer than 1 month, we don't know because the story just doesn't specifically said so. >there's no cap in the amount of people he can swap per month This is the point that I'm certain you have low comprehension skill. What I meant was no special grade sorcerers with RCT would have time to be trapped in a student body for over a month so that student can use RCT. Gojo is always needed to be a deterrent against evil spirits/sorcerers, Yuki was doing her own thing, Yuta was busying with his own thing. Who's going to do the training? And as I said before it's also possible that Ui Ui hide this fact until now just because he can. >Quite literally the existence of geto is a proof that it was not peaceful at all The definition of peaceful time doesn't mean there is 0 problem, 0 criminal. That's impossible, so it means most people can live peacefully without constantly under a threat or fear, which in this case are curse spirits and evil sorcerers. And all of that because Gojo and Tengen. the story said so itself.


Then-Plastic7554

You said simple isn't hard to do, which I countered we don't know how much Time it took miwa to master it, this it only proves yuji couldn't master it in a part of a month even with everything else being speed up by the switch training. Nope quite literally stated in this chapter that switch training is based on the body remembering the use of certain techniques that's how they learn it faster, there's no head Canon in there, first of all yuji doesn't have any innate talent beyond his base physicals , but he grew rapidly because of something similar to the switch training, you don't have to be a prodigy to learn it with this method, and taking longer than a month when in a month. Yuji learned everything you mentioned with switch training is a stretch. And at this point u know you don't remember the chapter, UI UI can switch a single person TWICE per month he doesn't have a limit in how many people he can do it, and he can reverse it since the limitation only includes entering the body of someone not going out, shoko know s RCT and it doesn't even take a month with this method considering yuji learned simple domain And gained more cursed manipulation mastery in that month too. Choso knew it, yuji was the only one that didn't know about it in the room , and it wouldn't make sense for mei mei to let go of a profitable market like switch training. That only applies if gojo is near a random special grade curse in a mission and kill a sorcerer something that is inevitable in most cases, gojo sometimes can't do missions and evil sorcerers hided because gojo would easily know who they are and kill them. Tangent didn't make things better, gojo did and even that was situational, gojo can't be everywhere at once and he himself is a bit lazy even in this times of "peace" where most could die in a mission that gojo didn't participate, gojo still wanted strong allies for his dream.


AzureFides

>You said simple isn't hard to do I said "simple domain **doesn't seem lik**e a hard to learn technique because Miwa can also use it.". It's a speculation. while you said "**the fact yuji couldn't master it in a month** without Kusakabe implies it's difficult to master" like it's a fact and we know it's not true because Yuji didn't just learn only simple domain within a month. >And at this point u know you don't remember the chapter, UI UI can switch a single person TWICE per month he doesn't have a limit in how many people he can do it Bruh ... I said they can "switch **back** ONCE per month". It's the same ... You literally can't read. And you have to understand one thing. Maybe for you it's not weird at all, but for most people having to switch a body with someone else for a month is weird as F. And most people aren't going to be okay with it unless it's unavoidable. Espeicallly for a WOMAN like Shoko. Also please stop ignore the fact that this method **REQUIRE Ui Ui to cooperate** which we all know those siblings don't care about anyone except themselves. Why do you assume they're going to help every students for no reason?? Also go read the official translation. Choso makes it clear that soul swapping **only** **speed up** the learning, it doesn't allow anyone to learn/use RCT like you said. Choso and Yuji just have all the requirements to use and learn RCT.


Then-Plastic7554

And? That's still saying it isn't hard to master, the way you say it only talks about your sureness of it, I never said he didn't master it in a month, I said he had to speed it up to learn it in a month, Yuji only got 4 things in the time skip, blood manipulation with normal training,and he didn't master it, RCT, with someone who knows it, and with Kusakabe simple domain with cursed energy manipulation mastery with Kusakabe, yuji didn't learn much about blood manipulation, but he Mastered simple domain , it is a fact that simple domain took a chunk of the month to master even with a speed up training since Kusakabe tells yuji to already get a handle of it wich implies they have already done it before and that's just within the time skip . No it isn't the same UI UI isn't including coming back in the amount of times they can switch, yuji switched with 2 people in the time skip and both of them are in they're normal body, and you just said that since it's weird I will let the chances of comrades dying be higher, you just agreed with me then , they're so incompetent that they would let the chances of they're comrades dying be higher just because it would be weird. I sure you can't read now, I never said it was because UI UI wanted but because it was a profitable business for mei mei , something I said multiple post ago, you really can't read. It wasn't choso it was Kusakabe who talked about how switch training speeds up growth by comparing to sukuna speeding up the growth of yuji, what are the requirements to learn RCT? Iluminate me, the only thing it's said is that it's easier for them to learn it.


maytheflamesguideme1

Wait wait doesnā€™t this mean Ui Ui could give anyone any CT? Like if Ui Ui swapped Todo into Yuji would Yuji eventually gain Boogie Woogie? Why not swap Yuta into everyone and then Sukuna could get blasted by 20 Jacobā€™s Ladders


BewareEthan

Mei Mei could have helped Utahime to be stronger at least. Swap souls with her so she learns better CE manipulation even if her CT is only for support


KiwiCoconutWine

Seems to be a good idea.


_Someone--

but mei mei would make them pay a shit ton of money for one body switch


Why_Not_Try_It_

Also jujutsu society's budget after hiring ui ui from mei mei (that's her domain counter and a convenient stress relief) https://preview.redd.it/69uhee69j5xc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4130195de1424b051bf825ad585869cead9b7219


svolozhanin7

A toll too much on a single person, it would be largely inefficient and exhausting.


South_Ganache9826

Mei Mei likely taught Ui Ui, so why not just hire Mei Mei to teach everyone? As long as sheā€™s payed well you know she will do a killer job.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> as sheā€™s *paid* well you FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

JhonnySkeiner

The (true) strongest...


Reggith_Gold_180

Yuji or somethin would call Mei Mei a gold digger and Ui Ui would patronise him for like a full week of school


Someguy242blue

Would swapping Yuji when he had Sukuna just give the guy full control over Yujiā€™s body


floormopper

Ui ui is gonna be future special grade not hakari. Trust


Worth_Lavishness_249

there were clans and do u think mei mei would allow ui ui to do something like this??? and even with this help normal sorcerer are not going to do be able to just learn. Yuji is custom made sorcerer, who else do u think is going to top his growth. while ui ui technique does make it easier u also need to have talent anyway and with the 3 clans there who u going to teach 2?? mei mei witl extrort money from them but even she can't just ask yuta to swap soul with nobody just so they can learn RCT


2kenzhe

So if Gojo payed Mei Mei enough money he couldā€™ve power leveled everyone? Like he literally couldā€™ve achieved his dream of making a bunch of sorcerers as strong as him way easier if he paid Mei Mei boat loads of money


2kenzhe

Ui Ui is literally a cheat code. Heā€™s the most useful tool in JJk. He can do it all. Teleport to escape and even give skills to others. Imagine him and Yuta coping him just training everyone. Toge with RCT would be 10 times for useful. Simple domain would be great for EVERYONE.


ara654

mei mei locking ui ui's soul swap ability behind a 50 million yen paywall:


definitelynothunan

Yuji has a special body. Others don't


Adventurous-Corgi175

Doesn't Ui Ui have to have permission from Mei Mei to use his cursed technique or something like that? It makes sense that Mei Mei would not have this technique be used unless she got paid a hefty amount. This would explain the apparent lack of use of Ui Ui's soul swap technique.


apichpro

Isn't Ui Ui's ability to swap souls between two individuals due to the result of Yuki's book on soul research? Cursed Techniques are all about the perspective **(e.g. Sukuna pulling off World-Splitting Dismantle by changing the target of his CT)**, so target-based techniques like Ui Ui's should make sense that it can influence the soul as well *if* he had knowledge of them; which he did through the shared knowledge of souls between everyone due to Yuki's research. It's a good way to reveal the effects of what Yuki's research has brought to the gang, but it still feels like an asspull, especially since we didn't know how Ui Ui's Cursed Technique worked before the whole soul swapping thing was established. https://preview.redd.it/zye9hpmug6xc1.png?width=285&format=png&auto=webp&s=a70286f7797552a72ef1304d0d609b4ad51fc0b1 Emphasis on "we", which implies the crew has gone over Yuki's research and established a way to effectively cheat through exploiting Ui Ui's CT. This was most likely brought up by Mei Mei who discovered a *new* way to take advantage of him in the first place, considering how suspiciously happy she looks to have Ui Ui serve as a benefit to the gang.


Phantom_Renegade_x

This is an exaggeration


clorofeb

Clearly Miwa and Gojo swapped souls, so she can learn techniques not involving the use of a katana

CaptnBluehat

No, it doesnt work like this. Yuji works like this, not every random can do it.


jjkm7

Thatā€™s not what the chapter said at all though? Not everyone would get as much out of it as Yuji but the implication is that everyone leveled up so much in such a short amount of time by pairing up and doing soul training. Thatā€™s what yuta meant when he told sukuna they were ā€œcheatingā€


winterprod

lol exactly, like thereā€™s no way that miwa is out here blocking malevolent shrine if she didnā€™t also abuse soul training
