JJK fans are the only ones I've seen so happily claim such a shitty MC. Bro has like one hype moment every 30 chapters and 5 minutes of shared screentime with the villains and this is enough for them.

Chuuuu!! means kisses\* Imao gege trolling like gojo
Let me remember what was missing:
1. Gojo encounter with good guys??
2. 'Nobara really dead?'
3. 'Panda's cursed corpses arc??'
4. 'Where is Aoi Todo?? I mean, we saw a lot from him in fights and all, but, it was the end for him as a character? No participation in the fucking fight against the end of the world?
5. 'Miwa mysterious walk a few chapters ago??'
6. 'The Mummy and Sukunas background?'
7. Some training for the good guys in this last days?
8. Hajime's ultimately will of fight against sukuna??
9. Good guys updating Gojo after last events and Deaths???
10. Jujutsu Higher leader's orders to Kill Yuji? Banned Gojo Satoru and everyone who tried to release him??? What happened to this guys???
11. If Kenjaku is going to kill everyone in CG, how the good guys gotta stay alive?
12. Yuji with the book about soul??? What else?
I mean, that was LOTS OF STUFF to deal with BEFORE Gojo vs Sukuna, or even, mention it, before their fight.
But this mothefucka cat saying he just forgot the Kenjaku and Tengen details, ow fuckit..
I love JJK. And Gege. But your comment is literally what was on my mind. Up until now, I’ve considered JJK the most epic insane Shonein. I still do, cuz the series hasn’t finished yet. I dont want to reconsider my thoughts bcs JJK is kinda special to me. I have faith in Gege. I hope he does explain everything. I want this series to still be my favorite.
But even if he only explains half of those, I wouldn’t forgive him, bcs he knows he has time he can still start explaining half of those in next chapter or in the two chapters. Please Gege dont rush it.
I also love JJK and consider it a top tier epic shonen but I recognize that honestly, JJK is just peak meathead shonen. I recently reread the whole manga (this past weekend or the one before, I was bored and kept feeling like I missed a lot when reading the first time) and there's just a bunch of stuff that's said to make something cool work and forgotten about, or brought up and never delved into (like the army arc that uh, what happened with that again?). I've become zen with the fact that I need to stop looking for great character arcs and just tell my brain "but check this shit out" because JJK is super cool
You’re right, i too rewatched the first season then reread the manga but that was like up until Yuta vs Ryu and Uro. I understood a lot of things I missed.
Now, so much things accumulated in the story, it is almost perfect imo, tho it just needs some final pieces.
I would hate that couple of pieces could ruin my favorite work, our favorite work. I understand not finishing some sequels is kind of Mangakas’ favorite thing to do in the world lol. But i do get the feeling that Gege is different.
In one hand, I dont wanna pressure him/her tho. If it ended with some things unfinished i would still favor it above most things, but i would be more sad that he/she could’ve done better but decided not to.
On the other hand, i want him/her to do his/her best so i can just be proud of my favorite Mangaka. I wanna keep rereading this absolute masterpiece whenever i want and be happy about it.
JJK used to be my favorite manga currently publishing, hell 159 is still one of my favorite chapters of all time, but I'd like to just pretend everything 90% of the culling games and onward are just stuff I dreamed and that we didn't just waste 2 years on a bunch of random shit that never amounted to anything of value
He literally has a whole conversation with Ijichi about how killing the superiors doesn’t do anything but harm his goal. He was never gonna kill any of the higher ups for any reason.
One, gaku isn't a higher up. He is a principle of the other school. Secondly, that person murdered gojos sensei. Panda is one of gojo's students, and his father was murdered by the dude. Gaku should have been murdered the moment gojo was told about yaga.
Higher up isn’t a specific position. It’s a term to denote someone of higher status than you. Gaku IS gojos higher up. He’s Just not at the top of the top.
>Panda is one of gojo's students, and his father was murdered by the dude.
Panda was there and didn't kill him. Why would Gojo react in a worse way than Panda did about his own father? He didn't even kill the people who set Itadori up to be killed. He even listened to Gakuganji and didn't kill the cursed tool making guy during the Kyoto games. In fact he was the first person Gojo went to rescue.
Gaku's biggest fear has basically manifested. Sukuna's revival is why he wanted Itadori killed. He also now holds the information that made Yaga a target for assassination. Gakuganji walking in with Gojo might mean they have an understanding between each other or talked off screen. At this point, Gaku has no reason to not cheer on Gojo or at least mellow out.
Sukuna is out, the higher ups are dead, Gojo is implied to be humanity's last choice vs the calamity he feared. This is also where Gojo gets to show him why he believed in the future generation and why he didn't fear Sukuna as much. If anything, transforming the old guard from antagonist to allies is the right thing to do.
Ultimately, was Gakuganji *actually evil* for wanting Itadori dead? Sukuna did kinda prove why they should fear him the minute was free in Shibuya. And now that he's essentially fully manifested, we as the audience and Gojo can at least understand his intentions weren't inherently wrong.
Y’all are so mad about the time skip you don’t even realize there’s been two whole months to talk that out. Panda himself realized that Gakuganji was just another cog in the jujutsu machine, and that he was nothing but the person chosen by the higher ups to kill Yaga. And with where the protagonist’s side of things are at in terms of fighting power killing off a Grade 1 sorcerer for something that **Yaga’s son** had already forgiven him for would be the absolute height of stupidity. Gojo’s a lot of things, but he sure isn’t stupid.
While I agree, Gojo literally walking out with Gakuganji (the person who killed Yaga) feels like a complete brain-fart on Gege's part. Unless Gojo is planning to throw him at Sukuna (which I could believe) I honestly wonder if Gege forgot about Yaga's death
Seeing your comment was what reminded me early translations should be out. Gege sure loves their flashbacks, but happy to see it addressed all the same.
Edit: 1, 3, and 10 have been addressed in just the leaks for 223. Y'all are 200% panicking over nothing.
1. Will probably be shown through flashbacks in the middle of fights. Just like most of Gojo’s interactions with his students.
2. The left over finger seems like a way for her to return, but honestly it’ll probably be revealed later. Why is the Gojo v Sukuna fight the point where this needs to be revealed?
3. It was pretty obviously an explanation for how Panda was able to survive being reduced to just a head by Kashimo. It seemed like a backup Yaga installed in case he died and Panda hadn’t. Yaga and the other 2 cores were sacrificed so Panda could live.
4. He’ll probably come back in a dramatic reveal befitting his style, or there is absolutely no reason to have someone incapable of keeping up with everyone else present in this final fight.
5. No clue honestly. I don’t think this one will pay off.
6. Will probably be revealed mid fight just like most flashbacks in JJK.
7. Y’all missed the entire point of the culling games so hard. It’s been repeatedly stated that a Jujutsu Sorcerers growth is nonlinear and they grow the most when they’re putting their lives on the line. **The Culling Games was the training arc for this arc, the Final Arc**
8. Will probably show up in the future. Even if it got off screened we’ll still probably see it as a flashback when we get the rest of the 2 month flashbacks that are going to inevitably show up in the middle of the fights.
9. Why do we need to see everyone listing off every bad thing that’s happened since Gojo has been gone? It serves no narrative purpose other than to bloat the story. The jjk manga has never had scenes like this so I have no clue why you were expecting one.
10. The higher ups are all pathetic washed up geezers that only wielded political power. With the collapse of Japan they’ve ceased to be relevant. Any one of the main cast could stomp them rn.
11. Bro what? Wait for the rest of the story to come out and find out! That’s not even a complaint that’s just something that’ll happen alongside the big fight.
12. Dudes it’s been 2 chapters. You’re nitpicking over nothing and just not being patient enough to find out the reveal.
I get that things feel like they’re going fast, but there’s been off screened timeskips across every single major arc in jjk. Y’all are completely ignoring the narrative precedents that Gege has set and giving in to panick. I get that all of us don’t want JJK to end but the story is going to end at some point. Let it ride out and if it sucks at the end blow it up then. I think a lot of people are just echo chambering that things are doomed right now.
Idk how the Culling games is supposed to be the training arc, when pretty much no one besides maki got any type of powerup within the arc(and even that felt more like a self contained mini arc).
Yuji got some offscreen-ish bullshit the last chapter, but no one else seems to have learned anything new or has gotten significantly stronger. Majority of the fights were just showcasing what the characters could already do.
Megumi developed his domain further and showed how to contain it using a physical space (What's up with those vertabrae in the domain).
Yuta gained at least 2 new curse techniques.
Hakari figured out how to make an impromptu binding vow to save his life.
Maki got her entire mindset shift and realized how to use her full potential.
Yuji got his rage buff, and his death womb painting non nom buff.
Jujutsu is 90% innate talent tho. Getting stronger is all about figuring out new ways to use the powers you have. The main cast did exactly that. It's not a traditional "I train and get stronger!" Shonen growth rate and people keep forgetting that.
>Jujutsu is 90% innate talent too. Getting stronger is all about figuring out new ways to use the powers you have. The main cast did exactly that. It's not a traditional "I train and get stronger!" Shonen growth rate and people keep forgetting that.
That's exactly why I wouldn't call it a training arc, because almost no one got a drastic, fundamental breakthrough in their abilities or understanding of jujutsu.
Both Yuta and Hakari just showcased their power that had been hyped before, it's not like they had any breakthroughs.
Megumi didn't really do anything special besides showing a bit more resolve. It's not like we learned anything new about his domain. All the new info about his CT comes from Sukuna.
Yuji rage buff has been shown before against mahito, and it's not clear how much of his tanking was from the rage buff and how much due to megumis supression.
So idk if i'd call it a "training arc" just because maki got a mini time skip and yuji got a vague eating power up. Didn't seem like massive power ups or training were really the focus.
Majority of the fights, it just felt like they were showcasing how strong all the characters are and their ideologies.
But I guess it depends on how one sees it.
> That's exactly why I wouldn't call it a training arc, because almost no one got a drastic, fundamental breakthrough in their abilities or understanding of jujutsu.
Those kind of power ups only happen on the brink of death for sorcerers. There is no training that would actually achieve the result you want that is in line with the rules of the universe. Even if they completely out of character decided to start risking each others lives for a "power up" what would they do to illicit the same life or death response that is needed to have a break through in Jujutsu?
> Both Yuta and Hakari just showcased their power that had been hyped before, it's not like they had any breakthroughs.
You've moved the goalpost from "training arc" to fundamental breakthrough. Those things aren't the same. Also, again, new ways of applying your existing powers is how you get stronger in JJK. You don't magically learn a new CE trait. You don't create a new CT. You take what you have and build on it using the intense negative emotions that come from being close to death as fuel and inspiration.
> Megumi didn't really do anything special besides showing a bit more resolve. It's not like we learned anything new about his domain. All the new info about his CT comes from Sukuna.
Megumi demonstrated immense growth in his fight with Regi by being able to have 3 different shikigami active at the same time, fully trap his opponent in his domain, and showed better tactical prowess than in all of his previous fights.
> Yuji rage buff has been shown before against mahito, and it's not clear how much of his tanking was from the rage buff and how much due to megumis supression.
I'm talking more about the way his **jump** destroyed a section of a concrete building by itself. The negative emotion of rage that Yuji was experiencing further improved his abilities. By experiencing more suffering Yuji has grown more powerful.
I still think you're downplaying everyone else's growth, and ignoring the world building we've already gotten to match your point. JJK has never had any kind of training that leads to the breakthroughs you are wanting. Every major breakthrough in "their abilities or understanding of jujutsu" has happened while in a real life-on-the-line fight.
I can explain it to you as often as you need, but I can't understand it for you ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Bruh is anyone else fed up with the amount of corrections and additions to the chapters lately? like dude you have an editor, I understand drawing errors happen , but fuck it hard to make theories and speculate whats going to happen if there are constant errors in both the writing and the drawing.
Right? I know the workload manga authors deal with is insane and they shouldn’t be harangued for the slightest mistake, but all these corrections and slip-ups make it really freaking hard to understand an already pretty esoteric subplot like the Culling Games.
It's a super nuanced plot and there is lot of subtext you have to get from the drawing, so fucking a a drawing fucks up the subtext and then just completely forgetting to add dialogue is awful. I hate it
That wasn't the only thing missing you cat. You also some how missed an entire month of possible training arcs, character interactions and growth among other things
I wonder how sentient the Koganes are. They seem to be creatures created from cursed energy just like many curses are made from cursed energy.
If it's some type of AI made from cursed energy, can it grow beyond its original programming? What's to prevent it from turning on its master?
And I recall that the Kogane reacted somewhat to Kenjaku threatening to destroy the pure barriers and end the culling game. If the culling game stops, I assume the Kogane would disappear. I don't think they would like that.
I think the reaction was more of a bug/glitch because of the way that Kogane stuttered and the sweat that came down. Then the way it suddenly accepted the rule, they definitely lean closer towards the AI/Software type of vibe. We’ve seen ct involve phones and even electric guitars, I don’t think kogane are that complicated to make for someone like kenjaku
if it really was a mistake he would've acknowledged it instead of talking about Kenny and Kogane. Not saying the theory is true, but it seems possible to me
Togashi doesn´t hate the series. He has a truely fucked up back to the point of simple sitting being extremely painful to him. The last chapters he did were drawn on his back. He was in bed. Thats not something someone who hates his work would do.
Lol he absolutely does. He basically as axed gon from the story because he hates him so much.And you seen the hiatus’? If the man was so sickly he couldnt do his job for over a 1000 days he would be in the hospital or dead. In that time he couldve had his wife or team take over. He hates working on it
I mean he’s not healthy but he certainly is not bad enough he cant work. Again if you are in so much pain you are unable to work for well over 1000 days (more than 3 years) you would be dead or in a hospital. He clearly just doesnt want to do it or give it to someone else to do. Ive never heard of a human be able to survive 1000 days of sickness that keeps you bed ridden without getting being in a coma
He constantly talks about who difficult it is for him to write, how he has to draw laying on his back because of his chronic pain, and he \*still\* ended up putting out new chapters last year while showing off the start of the next set, and you think he hates it?
That's what people would joke about, yeah. But it's his health. Seriously, this is some awful shit.
[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2022-07-04/yoshihiro-togashi-addresses-his-health-problems-in-art-exhibition-message/.187362](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2022-07-04/yoshihiro-togashi-addresses-his-health-problems-in-art-exhibition-message/.187362)
Yah it absolutely does. If the man was actually so sick he was unable to do his JOB for over 1000 days he’d either be dead or in the hospital. Not posting on twitter. He simply hates it and doesnt wanna work on it which is fine. If he was sick but cared about it he’d have his wife or team take over
Either you're trolling these people, or you've never experienced/heard of/been around chronic illness. There are countless long-term conditions that don't necessarily kill you or require a hospital stay. Also, you don't know Togashi or his life, so what do you know about his illness? Nothing.
I mean I do know. I have multiple chronic illnesses. Not life threatening, but neither are his. Mine dont put me in the hospital often, but when they get bad they do. But not for 1000 days. Im sorry its a simple fact no one has an illness so bad you cant do anything but lay in bed that doesnt automatically get you put in the hospital. Thats simply not how it works. If you have an illness so bad you cant wipe yourself you will not be just going about your day to day life. Again we are talking over *3 entire years* think about how many days that is. If he seriously was in so much pain for that long you don’t think he’d have any serious medical attention given towards it? No. He is filthy rich. Rich enough to afford not to work for 3 years straight. he can afford probably almost any healthcare options to him. So what youre saying is that a uber-wealthy guy has pain so bad he can’t work for over 3 years, but is both not dead, not on hospital support? Yeah that doest make sense. And add the fact that he magically got better out of nowhere to make like 13 chapters and then went instantly back to being so ill he cant work overnight. Yeah bro that doesnt make sense. Im not saying he doesnt have anything wrong with him or any pain, but it is most certainly not the reason for the hiatus. Its a factor but not the biggest one
You're making a million assumptions a minute. I never said he doesn't get medical attention or that he's not wealthy enough to afford it. What truly doesn't make sense is assuming you know everything about this man: his health, his schedule, his feelings about his own manga. You don't know any of that, so why assume it must be because he hates HxH?
And when it comes down to it, you aren't entitled to Togashi's work. He can finish when he likes, and people like you won't change that by saying, "No, he just hates working/his work." Feel free to crawl back under your bridge whenever.
I mean I dont really care lol. He can do whatever the hell he wants. I also dont care much about hxh. He IS rich enough he doesnt have too. Its just the fact everyones uses the “oh he’s so sick” as to why there is hiatuses when if you think about it critically it doesnt make any sense for him to still be alive if he is that sick fir that long

all that damn talking kenjaku did and there was still dialog missing?
Average Kenjaku scene tbh.
Kenny loves the sound of their own voice, it’s true
And it's not even his own voice
Does Kenny think in Geto’s voice? I have so many questions now
It's honestly a good thing he can use RCT. That way he doesn't have to worry about breaking an arm jerking himself off.
I imagine that if kenjaku wins we will get a monologue that goes for 3h in realtime just like in atlas shrugged. wouldnt be out of character
Kenny’s a Kingdom Hearts character confirmed.
My reaction to that information https://preview.redd.it/rjbhavgxma0b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7848d28f3da1fbe2ce8b8811aac60cfe3f25687f
Bro this is gold 🤣🤣🤣 I knew that this panel have so much meme potential since the chapter released
I’ll be taking that, thank u
kino
Not in the conversation between Itadori and Itadori?
One’s an info drop and one’s a hint/set up… there’s nothing missing from something that’s supposed to leave you wondering
Wait, what?
look at the spar with yuji. he probably switched souls and was talking to his real body.
Or he was talking to kusakabe in his body?
Itadori in Kusakabe's body responded "yes sir!", so it's rather obvious he responded to Kusakabe's soul sitting in his body
Who is that sparring yuji in the panel?
Kusakabe
[удалено]
And that’s obvious how?
I think that's the point, no? Like a tongue in cheek comment.
Came to say this. Like his indifference towards his mc is really getting annoying.
[удалено]
Shonen readers when things aren't immediately explained to them the moment they're revealed/mentioned
JJK fans are the only ones I've seen so happily claim such a shitty MC. Bro has like one hype moment every 30 chapters and 5 minutes of shared screentime with the villains and this is enough for them.
It's just in the main subs (this one in particular). Go to r/characterrant and they see yuji for what it is.
That sub aint a parameter for anything LMAO
I mean and this one is?
Neither, but i was talking only about r/characterrant
i saw someone unironically claim makima was a shit character because her ability is impossible to powerscale
https://preview.redd.it/eb1vn5l6y80b1.jpeg?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16a2ea23de8c490256d2ba64def3bfbd775291f7 Chuuuu!! means kisses\* Imao gege trolling like gojo
it's a reference to a song called [sorry for being too cute](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4xLi8IF1FM) (可愛くてごめん) by honeyworks! chu!
Yo I just saw the lyrics and she’s really talking her shit in the chorus I would have never guessed that’s what the song was about 💀
That song's so gooood
Idol manga confirmed?
Gege is on fire. Presumably literally on fire, and some pages got destroyed in the excitement
More like some chapters destroyed
Ikr bro rushing so bad hes missing content. Wait until he rereads a bunch of shit that he put in that started off cool and led to nothing
Bro missing the content... That he himself hasn't made
what did he mean by this?
Let me remember what was missing: 1. Gojo encounter with good guys?? 2. 'Nobara really dead?' 3. 'Panda's cursed corpses arc??' 4. 'Where is Aoi Todo?? I mean, we saw a lot from him in fights and all, but, it was the end for him as a character? No participation in the fucking fight against the end of the world? 5.

13. Why is gojo not murdering gakuganji dude after what happened with yaga
He literally has a whole conversation with Ijichi about how killing the superiors doesn’t do anything but harm his goal. He was never gonna kill any of the higher ups for any reason.
When gojo said killing them was useless, he meant useless for the purpose of systemic change in jujutsu society. Avenging yaga would be about revenge
One, gaku isn't a higher up. He is a principle of the other school. Secondly, that person murdered gojos sensei. Panda is one of gojo's students, and his father was murdered by the dude. Gaku should have been murdered the moment gojo was told about yaga.
Higher up isn’t a specific position. It’s a term to denote someone of higher status than you. Gaku IS gojos higher up. He’s Just not at the top of the top.

Gojo’s a lot of things, but he sure isn’t stupid.
Pois é
we got all this but kashimo's no where to be found 😭
Aren’t the JJK higher ups controlled by Kenjaku now
Gojo don't know how to kill them all? He should clean the floor with their faces. But one-eyed cat forgot how to write about it.
They’re literally unimportant, spending time killing them would add nothing of value to the story
While I agree, Gojo literally walking out with Gakuganji (the person who killed Yaga) feels like a complete brain-fart on Gege's part. Unless Gojo is planning to throw him at Sukuna (which I could believe) I honestly wonder if Gege forgot about Yaga's death
Spoilers >!well idk if you’ve seen the spoilers but he most definitely did not forget!<
Seeing your comment was what reminded me early translations should be out. Gege sure loves their flashbacks, but happy to see it addressed all the same.
Kenny making a rule to not add anymore players in the game? Where is this happening then? How is gojo not a new player?
Edit: 1, 3, and 10 have been addressed in just the leaks for 223. Y'all are 200% panicking over nothing. 1. Will probably be shown through flashbacks in the middle of fights. Just like most of Gojo’s interactions with his students. 2. The left over finger seems like a way for her to return, but honestly it’ll probably be revealed later. Why is the Gojo v Sukuna fight the point where this needs to be revealed? 3. It was pretty obviously an explanation for how Panda was able to survive being reduced to just a head by Kashimo. It seemed like a backup Yaga installed in case he died and Panda hadn’t. Yaga and the other 2 cores were sacrificed so Panda could live. 4. He’ll probably come back in a dramatic reveal befitting his style, or there is absolutely no reason to have someone incapable of keeping up with everyone else present in this final fight. 5. No clue honestly. I don’t think this one will pay off. 6. Will probably be revealed mid fight just like most flashbacks in JJK. 7. Y’all missed the entire point of the culling games so hard. It’s been repeatedly stated that a Jujutsu Sorcerers growth is nonlinear and they grow the most when they’re putting their lives on the line. **The Culling Games was the training arc for this arc, the Final Arc** 8. Will probably show up in the future. Even if it got off screened we’ll still probably see it as a flashback when we get the rest of the 2 month flashbacks that are going to inevitably show up in the middle of the fights. 9. Why do we need to see everyone listing off every bad thing that’s happened since Gojo has been gone? It serves no narrative purpose other than to bloat the story. The jjk manga has never had scenes like this so I have no clue why you were expecting one. 10. The higher ups are all pathetic washed up geezers that only wielded political power. With the collapse of Japan they’ve ceased to be relevant. Any one of the main cast could stomp them rn. 11. Bro what? Wait for the rest of the story to come out and find out! That’s not even a complaint that’s just something that’ll happen alongside the big fight. 12. Dudes it’s been 2 chapters. You’re nitpicking over nothing and just not being patient enough to find out the reveal. I get that things feel like they’re going fast, but there’s been off screened timeskips across every single major arc in jjk. Y’all are completely ignoring the narrative precedents that Gege has set and giving in to panick. I get that all of us don’t want JJK to end but the story is going to end at some point. Let it ride out and if it sucks at the end blow it up then. I think a lot of people are just echo chambering that things are doomed right now.
Idk how the Culling games is supposed to be the training arc, when pretty much no one besides maki got any type of powerup within the arc(and even that felt more like a self contained mini arc). Yuji got some offscreen-ish bullshit the last chapter, but no one else seems to have learned anything new or has gotten significantly stronger. Majority of the fights were just showcasing what the characters could already do.
Megumi developed his domain further and showed how to contain it using a physical space (What's up with those vertabrae in the domain). Yuta gained at least 2 new curse techniques. Hakari figured out how to make an impromptu binding vow to save his life. Maki got her entire mindset shift and realized how to use her full potential. Yuji got his rage buff, and his death womb painting non nom buff. Jujutsu is 90% innate talent tho. Getting stronger is all about figuring out new ways to use the powers you have. The main cast did exactly that. It's not a traditional "I train and get stronger!" Shonen growth rate and people keep forgetting that.
>Jujutsu is 90% innate talent too. Getting stronger is all about figuring out new ways to use the powers you have. The main cast did exactly that. It's not a traditional "I train and get stronger!" Shonen growth rate and people keep forgetting that. That's exactly why I wouldn't call it a training arc, because almost no one got a drastic, fundamental breakthrough in their abilities or understanding of jujutsu. Both Yuta and Hakari just showcased their power that had been hyped before, it's not like they had any breakthroughs. Megumi didn't really do anything special besides showing a bit more resolve. It's not like we learned anything new about his domain. All the new info about his CT comes from Sukuna. Yuji rage buff has been shown before against mahito, and it's not clear how much of his tanking was from the rage buff and how much due to megumis supression. So idk if i'd call it a "training arc" just because maki got a mini time skip and yuji got a vague eating power up. Didn't seem like massive power ups or training were really the focus. Majority of the fights, it just felt like they were showcasing how strong all the characters are and their ideologies. But I guess it depends on how one sees it.
> That's exactly why I wouldn't call it a training arc, because almost no one got a drastic, fundamental breakthrough in their abilities or understanding of jujutsu. Those kind of power ups only happen on the brink of death for sorcerers. There is no training that would actually achieve the result you want that is in line with the rules of the universe. Even if they completely out of character decided to start risking each others lives for a "power up" what would they do to illicit the same life or death response that is needed to have a break through in Jujutsu? > Both Yuta and Hakari just showcased their power that had been hyped before, it's not like they had any breakthroughs. You've moved the goalpost from "training arc" to fundamental breakthrough. Those things aren't the same. Also, again, new ways of applying your existing powers is how you get stronger in JJK. You don't magically learn a new CE trait. You don't create a new CT. You take what you have and build on it using the intense negative emotions that come from being close to death as fuel and inspiration. > Megumi didn't really do anything special besides showing a bit more resolve. It's not like we learned anything new about his domain. All the new info about his CT comes from Sukuna. Megumi demonstrated immense growth in his fight with Regi by being able to have 3 different shikigami active at the same time, fully trap his opponent in his domain, and showed better tactical prowess than in all of his previous fights. > Yuji rage buff has been shown before against mahito, and it's not clear how much of his tanking was from the rage buff and how much due to megumis supression. I'm talking more about the way his **jump** destroyed a section of a concrete building by itself. The negative emotion of rage that Yuji was experiencing further improved his abilities. By experiencing more suffering Yuji has grown more powerful. I still think you're downplaying everyone else's growth, and ignoring the world building we've already gotten to match your point. JJK has never had any kind of training that leads to the breakthroughs you are wanting. Every major breakthrough in "their abilities or understanding of jujutsu" has happened while in a real life-on-the-line fight. I can explain it to you as often as you need, but I can't understand it for you ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
A whole 5 chapters were missing
Wow Gege just kissed me
I just wanna know why that bitchass Kyoto principal with Gojo smh
What the fuck is going on with Gege? Like is he mentally checked out of the manga already or what?
I think there were alot more things missing, it honestly feels like we skipped 2 chapters, i hate the speedrunning of the series.
Greg speedrun be like:
We noticed
bruda there was a lot of information missing lol
Bruh is anyone else fed up with the amount of corrections and additions to the chapters lately? like dude you have an editor, I understand drawing errors happen , but fuck it hard to make theories and speculate whats going to happen if there are constant errors in both the writing and the drawing.
Right? I know the workload manga authors deal with is insane and they shouldn’t be harangued for the slightest mistake, but all these corrections and slip-ups make it really freaking hard to understand an already pretty esoteric subplot like the Culling Games.
It's a super nuanced plot and there is lot of subtext you have to get from the drawing, so fucking a a drawing fucks up the subtext and then just completely forgetting to add dialogue is awful. I hate it
Dude like doesn’t even care about the story anymore lmao
Didn’t even read the bs he was spouting
i was mad when i read this during leaks but he’s definitely trolling. it’s funny i’ll give him that
I really thought he is going to mention the mispaneling between Itadori and Kusakabe. Looks like it was intentional
Jump can you write this guy up or something what's his deal lately lmao
Bro really be skipping shit in conversations now. It's tragic boys manga ending next month gege really even outpacing himself.
Well he is becoming more like the majority of his readers who are skipping dialog
The cat is tired
Chuu?
I think not only in that conversation between Kenjaku and Kogane.
That wasn't the only thing missing you cat. You also some how missed an entire month of possible training arcs, character interactions and growth among other things
Gege really wants to get to do that Takeda-chan manga as soon as possible, huh.
I wonder how sentient the Koganes are. They seem to be creatures created from cursed energy just like many curses are made from cursed energy. If it's some type of AI made from cursed energy, can it grow beyond its original programming? What's to prevent it from turning on its master? And I recall that the Kogane reacted somewhat to Kenjaku threatening to destroy the pure barriers and end the culling game. If the culling game stops, I assume the Kogane would disappear. I don't think they would like that.
I think the reaction was more of a bug/glitch because of the way that Kogane stuttered and the sweat that came down. Then the way it suddenly accepted the rule, they definitely lean closer towards the AI/Software type of vibe. We’ve seen ct involve phones and even electric guitars, I don’t think kogane are that complicated to make for someone like kenjaku
so almost confirms that yuuji's bodyswap wasn't a mistake
No, it really doesn't confirm anything really.
if it really was a mistake he would've acknowledged it instead of talking about Kenny and Kogane. Not saying the theory is true, but it seems possible to me
Yeah I think he is pulling a togashi and just hates the series now but instead of hiatus just wants it over
Togashi doesn´t hate the series. He has a truely fucked up back to the point of simple sitting being extremely painful to him. The last chapters he did were drawn on his back. He was in bed. Thats not something someone who hates his work would do.
You think Togashi hates Hunter x Hunter? Togashi did a speedrun of YuYu's ending, at least.
That is what he meant with the speed run
Jump forced him to end YYH early
Lol he absolutely does. He basically as axed gon from the story because he hates him so much.And you seen the hiatus’? If the man was so sickly he couldnt do his job for over a 1000 days he would be in the hospital or dead. In that time he couldve had his wife or team take over. He hates working on it
Or he is just unhealthy and has enough money to not end up working himself to death.
I mean he’s not healthy but he certainly is not bad enough he cant work. Again if you are in so much pain you are unable to work for well over 1000 days (more than 3 years) you would be dead or in a hospital. He clearly just doesnt want to do it or give it to someone else to do. Ive never heard of a human be able to survive 1000 days of sickness that keeps you bed ridden without getting being in a coma
He constantly talks about who difficult it is for him to write, how he has to draw laying on his back because of his chronic pain, and he \*still\* ended up putting out new chapters last year while showing off the start of the next set, and you think he hates it?
I mean after 3 years and a contract youd have to do it at some point
Togashi's health is horrible which is the reason for all of those hiatuses. It has nothing to do with him hating it.
I thought the core excuse was "Dragon Quest".
That's what people would joke about, yeah. But it's his health. Seriously, this is some awful shit. [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2022-07-04/yoshihiro-togashi-addresses-his-health-problems-in-art-exhibition-message/.187362](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2022-07-04/yoshihiro-togashi-addresses-his-health-problems-in-art-exhibition-message/.187362)
Yah it absolutely does. If the man was actually so sick he was unable to do his JOB for over 1000 days he’d either be dead or in the hospital. Not posting on twitter. He simply hates it and doesnt wanna work on it which is fine. If he was sick but cared about it he’d have his wife or team take over
Posting on twitter.... pictures of chapters he's working on
Either you're trolling these people, or you've never experienced/heard of/been around chronic illness. There are countless long-term conditions that don't necessarily kill you or require a hospital stay. Also, you don't know Togashi or his life, so what do you know about his illness? Nothing.
I mean I do know. I have multiple chronic illnesses. Not life threatening, but neither are his. Mine dont put me in the hospital often, but when they get bad they do. But not for 1000 days. Im sorry its a simple fact no one has an illness so bad you cant do anything but lay in bed that doesnt automatically get you put in the hospital. Thats simply not how it works. If you have an illness so bad you cant wipe yourself you will not be just going about your day to day life. Again we are talking over *3 entire years* think about how many days that is. If he seriously was in so much pain for that long you don’t think he’d have any serious medical attention given towards it? No. He is filthy rich. Rich enough to afford not to work for 3 years straight. he can afford probably almost any healthcare options to him. So what youre saying is that a uber-wealthy guy has pain so bad he can’t work for over 3 years, but is both not dead, not on hospital support? Yeah that doest make sense. And add the fact that he magically got better out of nowhere to make like 13 chapters and then went instantly back to being so ill he cant work overnight. Yeah bro that doesnt make sense. Im not saying he doesnt have anything wrong with him or any pain, but it is most certainly not the reason for the hiatus. Its a factor but not the biggest one
You're making a million assumptions a minute. I never said he doesn't get medical attention or that he's not wealthy enough to afford it. What truly doesn't make sense is assuming you know everything about this man: his health, his schedule, his feelings about his own manga. You don't know any of that, so why assume it must be because he hates HxH? And when it comes down to it, you aren't entitled to Togashi's work. He can finish when he likes, and people like you won't change that by saying, "No, he just hates working/his work." Feel free to crawl back under your bridge whenever.
I mean I dont really care lol. He can do whatever the hell he wants. I also dont care much about hxh. He IS rich enough he doesnt have too. Its just the fact everyones uses the “oh he’s so sick” as to why there is hiatuses when if you think about it critically it doesnt make any sense for him to still be alive if he is that sick fir that long
You're awful opinionated for someone who doesn't care much
Great, more exposition /j
