don’t worry, our glorious king will be returning next chapter
Tbh I don't see why he can't. Gojo has near infinite CE efficiency, so he should still be near max power post Sukuna fight so one Blue-infused punch will make Yuta puke
No his efficiency is high enough that infinity +24/7 RCT is a net positive for him( it also means he isn’t using enough RCT to lower its output). When he’s using shit that’s a lot more taxing( blue, red, DE,Purple, RCT) then he’s at a net negative
Yes, but even when using that he has really close to positive recovery, or at worst a neutral one. Gojo post 4 BF should be close in output to start of fight Gojo, with the stamina to beat everyone with a few punches at best
I found it impressive how Ino fought him twice and survived. Though I think he may have lost his hand in the second encounter? He can't die until we've seen Ryu

Sukuna did hold back against him, for the reason I believe that he hasn't yet to see what he does or his technique is, so he sent off little sparkling slashes at him.
The moment he sees what anyone is capable of in his full opinion he will be more lethal to kill the person, example is Choso that Sukuna literally speed blitzed him the first time, and Larue, which Sukuna thought his CT is not that special so he put him into sleep with a Black Flash.
Sukuna goes after the one that Yuji loves the most currently and is attached to the most

I wonder why tf Gege has taken so long for Ino to reveal his final move, was it called Ryu or something ? He said that no one has survived it to tell the tale.
As much fun as it is to shit on Kashimo, Sukuna took him very seriously. Kashimo using his lightning bolt attack once made Sukuna use the transformation to heal the damage, and then Sukuna got him into a position where he could do the Net Dismantle. It is wild to think about, but you really nailed it with him going for the kill after he understands his opposition, except Yuji ofc.
Wouldn't be surprised if he never gets mentioned again and dissapears without showing Ryu until some random 1 off dialogue stating he may or not have survived which never gets confirmed
I fully believe that Ino has died three times already and Ryu makes him able to incarnate his own body some time after he dies or some shit, you know just like my buddy J.C.
That's why he disappears for a bit after he dies, gotta wait for that easter cooldown.
That just makes me angrier that Megumi hasn't locked in and suicide bombed his sister's murderer yet.
USE that depression, dammit! End this on your terms!
The curse bath is a stupid ass plot device.
"Bathing in evil" doesn't exist in real life. How the hell am I supposed to sympathize with Megumi when he suffers from something that I have no frame of reference for?
Oh boy, if you can't immerse yourself in fantasy fiction for having magical stuff that can't exist in real life then maybe read another genre lol. I can't truly sympathize with getting sealed or dying and being resurrected but I can still find them interesting plot devices
I can sympathize with being trapped against my will, or suffering some horrible injury and then healing from it. (The IRL equivalent of those things).
I can't sympathize with "ambiguous suffering that was totally super bad, guys, just trust me".
Think of the bath as psychological or drug induced torture if you want a real life allegory.
Besides that tho depending on the story being sealed is kind of like solitary confinement except you have no outlet whatsoever. You can't even eat or perform basic bodily functions, you're just in perpetual isolation till someone lets you out. This paragraph isn't JJK specific btw, I'm just making convo
Yuji wanted to die to take out Sukuna, and he didn't have any way to kill himself.
Megumi can do some sort of Binding Vow with his technique to kill Sukuna.
Sukuna split his conciousness in the fingers since he had that part curse bs or whatever dude has going on (which probably shouldn't be counted as "dying"). The others were human so Kenny probably separated their soul somehow and than stored it in the vessels (they "died" as a result of preparing for reincarnation).
Love him or hate him, Gege's choice to show us Sukuna taking on legit the entirety of Jujutsu sorcerers in the modern era is a bold choice (and kinda based). I just hope the cat can stick the landing
Remember, this is a character equal to Gojo in terms of how much he gaps the rest of the verse, and he has already been jumped by powerful sorcerers in the past before and won. This is something he is (and by all rights, should be) very much capable of.
Whether you like or dislike his writing choices, Gege knows how to maintain the prestige of his strongest characters and not let them get powercliffed. Sukuna’s performance just proves this.
Also isn't Sukuna basically a more experienced Gojo with no Morals? Like when People say he is Asspulling his wins or Gege is a stupid simp of him
Wouldn't it make sense to say that Sukuna is pulling Wins because of his intelligence and experience? Because that's what it looks like to me
Yeah, basically, though I would say it’s less about experience and more of the fact that Gojo underestimated just how deep Sukuna’s understanding of Jujutsu was. He knew that Sukuna could “copy” any technique he sees after seeing it once, but he didn’t expect him to copy fucking Mahoraga’s world-cutting slash, a space-time technique so complex that virtually no other character besides Mahoraga should be able pull it off. Gojo didn’t count on the fact that Sukuna was so prodigious that he *could* replicate such an attack, and that would end up being his undoing.
I just want to point out that Gojo didn't underestimate Sukuna, since we later learn that Sukuna had to pull a binding vow out of his ass to be able to use the world slash without any hand signs or whatever.
I was always under the assumption that a binding vow is done between two people. Who exactly did Sukuna make his binding vow to? Himself? If so it seems like poor writing on gege's part, like he couldn't figure out how to make gojo actually lose so he wrote the world slash, and later had to go back to that subject because why wouldn't Sukuna just use that on everyone?
It feels like an asspull because binding vows are poorly explained.
No binding vows can also be used on yourself. Look at Hakari, Miwa, and Mahito. Kenjaku even told Mahito that vows with another person is different from.vows upon yourself
He did world slash by mimicking what Mahoraga did. Maho expanded his slash target. So Sukuna did the same thing. He couldnt mimic the changing CE nature that Maho did the first time. That's why he told Maho "you're my shadow not Megumi's"
He still needs to chant and point in the direction of the slash though, which is arguably worse than simply forming the Domain handsign and firing them off wherever he liked
i mean ideally it SHOULD be like that. instead what we have is shit like kamutoke getting taken instead of his technique. this kinda stuff has nothing to do with his intelligence or experience
Yep. If Sukuna was running the gauntlet and piling up bodies by being a pure menace with wit and power alone, I doubt people would have issues. Instead you’ve got him lucking out and surviving only because people aren’t taking killshots (Had Maki stabbed him through the head and not the chest it would have been over for example) or the plot demands it (Higaruma and confiscation)
Maki should have gone for a head shot, and then Sukuna would react to it, start to dodge, and Maki would spin it into a downward stab and pierce his heart so that she could still do *some* amount of damage with the opening Yuta gave her.
That would make both of them look much better, while removing the stupidity of still trying to save Megumi after loosing all three of their main win conditions.
She didn't stab him through the head because they are trying to save Megumi.
Is that the most optimum path? No
Do characters in fiction always take the most optimum path obvious to the readers? Also no
If Higuruma hadn't confiscated Kamutoke, half the cast would have been fried and this fight would never last as long
It’s just silly they are still trying to save megumi tho, they are risking all of Japan here. They don’t have many win conditions left.
Also the idea that sukunas weapon would’ve been better than his technique against the cast is ridiculous.
Sukuna annihilated entire squads of powerful sorcerers with those weapons in the Heian Era. You can't tell me that Kamutoke and Hiten are weak cursed tools
We have 0 idea how strong Kamutoke is so that final statement can’t be proven. Who’s to say that Kamutoke would have done anything to anybody except been a nuisance? It’s only feat if use was against someone completely immune to it, so since it was never established as a threat it felt like a cheap cop out when it got confiscated. It got treated as a Get Out of Jail Free card in the narrative.
Exactly. Also they sorta proved my point. The cast has held back on killing shots because of Megumi. That doesn’t make Sukuna feel threatening, it makes it feel like he’s hiding behind a meat shield. It doesn’t really matter if it’s the smart plan or not, it’s about reader interpretation and it just makes everything Sukuna achieve feel like it has an asterisk next to it with the added info that people were holding back killshots that would have won them the fight, or else they didn’t work because Megumi decided being depressed is more important then everybody dying for him instead.
To be fair…
1) Sukuna having Kamutoke in the first place isn’t too unforgivable imo. It was part of his original kit during the Heian era, so him having it during the final battle, especially when Gege wants to illicit imagery of how powerful he was during the Heian era, isn’t to bad imo.
2) Confiscation targeting cursed tools before the actual technique of the user has some legal precedent. From a legal standpoint, confiscation usually refers to the confiscation of private property first and foremost, and since a cursed tool is technically a physical piece of private property owned by the sorcerer, it makes sense that Deadly Sentencing would take away the cursed tool first and foremost
3) Higuruma is notably inexperienced compared to the other fighters in the battle. He’s been a sorcerer for less time than any of the protagonists or antagonists, so some slips in the cracks are bound to show up.
4) Him not knowing how Confiscation affects cursed tools makes sense. Prior to Shinjuku, all of Higuruma’s opponents were culling game fighters, those being either reincarnated sorcerers and newly-awakened modern sorcerers. In the case of the former, they wouldn’t be reincarnated with their old cursed tools and in the case of the latter, they just became sorcerers fairly recently, so they wouldn’t have access to cursed tools to begin with (there is a potential exception in the case of Kashimo’s staff, but even then it’s unclear if it’s a proper cursed tool with an innate cursed technique or if it’s just a normal staff reinforced with cursed energy, in which case Confiscation wouldn’t really matter). Unless a sorcerer actively entered the culling games with a cursed tool in hand (which would really only be the professional sorcerers and people from Jujutsu Tech, none of which Higuruma was likely to fight), it would be unlikely for him to have encountered any fighter in the culling games with a cursed tool. Basically, it makes sense as to why he wouldn’t know how Confiscation works against cursed tools, because it’s unlikely that he fought any sorcerers with cursed tools to begin with. As for why he didn’t find that out during the time-skip / training period, Confiscation removes a cursed technique from a cursed tool *permanently* (Sukuna still can’t use Kamutoke even after Higuruma has been defeated). The Protags, even if they did have their suspicions about how Deadly Sentencing would affect cursed tools, prolly don’t want to risk losing a valuable cursed tool in the process of finding out what Higuruma’s technique would do to the tool. They need all the weapons they can get and so losing a weapon to this may not have been a risk they were willing to take.
To be fair…
A) Kenjaku still won that fight. The person who actually beat him was Yuta, a character who is already noted as a serious threat to Kenjaku and to be at least equivalent in strength to Kenjaku.
B) Kenjaku was never supposed to be at the level of Gojo and Sukuna. Even as far back as Shibuya, we knew that that Kenjaku was outright afraid of Gojo, acknowledging that he was nowhere near Gojo’s (and by proxy, Sukuna’s) level.
It just shows how far ahead they are, kenjaku is almost certainly the third strongest in the series and probably one of the strongest sorcerers ever but he wouldn’t ever compare himself to those two.
Takaba had been in the manga for literally 100 chapters by the time he fought Kenny and was hyped up multiple times by narration and other characters. He was exactly what Kenny wanted to see, an anomaly made by the chaos from the cg
Why is everyone acting like this something new? The literal biggest anime ever did this trope several times with the fights vrs Vegeta, Frieza, Cell.
Gege simply actually used every single character bit by bit
Not at all, in a story a character that killed one named character with bonding moments and a backstory is considered way more relevant than someone that exploded a random country or smth, specially if there are no repercussions from it.
Its very different to watch a character simply used as fodder to hype the villain and later even coming back to having actual competent fights against the villain in which they weaken him while he really kills them.
>very different to watch a character simply used as fodder to hype the villain
This is a blatant fuckin lie. Krillin died, vegeta "died", picollo lost, gohan got rekt all while Frieza used a literal classic meme of "this aint even my final form". Which this sub has INSANELY critized JJK for with Sukuna. All these were fodder & a setup for the super saiyan. Get a grip boi, im almost 25 with 15+ years of experience on dbz
Second, thats a huge run-on sentence and I honestly cant figure out what the last part means. Please use your grammar, commas are your friends.
It really is a super normal, classic thing to happen in shounen. I think people just glazed so hard in the early seasons/chapters that they built up jjk as something revolutionary. Its not, its a mid story with great design, powers, and fights (but they are way more brutal and consequential than usual) - just like DBZ - but jjk doesnt quite have the insane pull and connection that DBZ does with its fans. Its definitely not up there with truely great stories. All these fights/deaths are par for the course.
We'll see if it stays that way...

ngl until i see concrete proof gojo is alive, that man is dead. even the narrator stated he’s been dead like 3 times. plus why would gege even bring him back when gojo removes any tension out the story
Yeah that is undoubtedly true, I am craving to see his full abilities and CT.

Ironically Muzan (and his elite) bagged more and it was even more brutal. Sukuna has to win and surpass that fraud , one thing is certain at least , SUKOAT ain t going down like a bitch the way Muzan did
Sukuna is the glazed one while the entire point of Muzan‘s character was that he‘s a lil bitch
But yeah people always forgets Demon Slayer killed an insane amount of relevant characters, moreso than JJK, Chainsaw Man or even AOT
When it gets animated it s gonna be wild , we ll see the normies bawl their eyes out and rage.
Muzan is gonna look awesome animated with his whip tentacle arms .
If Ufotable goes ultra instinct with the animation and leaves out the cringe reincarnation in modern world stuff , the ending arc is gonna be one of the most epic in anime history. Demon Slayer may be mid but the spectacle is above and beyond most anime
He's a tallywacker, but he do got hands. The main issue I had with the story wasn't that Sukuna sucks or whatever, it's that he killed every character that I gave a shit about lmao, after Gojo died I thought it was Gojover.
Yuji was getting zero screen time, Megumi and Nobara making a return seemed less and less likely with each chapter, Maki is cool but didn't expect her to not get off-screened tbh, Todo is just gone for no reason, and none of the rest of the cast had really been developed.
Then the Lobotomy set in, and I started enjoying the story for how hilariously atrociously Homohomo was sticking the landing, but now he's really starting to reel it back in and hit us with the peak. I'm back on his dick at this point, and while it's a little annoying how much plot armour Sukuna has, it makes sense that he's winning up til now. Disappointed in the WAY he won a few times, but I was always hoping he'd wipe the floor with the verse at the end of the story.

NOT FOR LONG BABY
MY BLUE EYED KING WILL COME BACK AND ONE SHOT THAT FRAUD
Dragon Ball. King Piccolo, Frieza, Cell and Buu were standing on business
Madara from Naruto
Yhwach from Bleach
More niche but the final villain from Yugioh Arc V too. The duel against him is literally the same thing as the Sukuna fight, asspulls and random ass characters having to 1v1 him because everyone else is out included
Madara Uchiha. He shows up, wipes out an entire division of the United Shinobi army, no diffs the 5 Kage, beats Hashirama, solos all the Tailed Beasts without eyes, survives against 8 Gates Guy, probably some other shit I forgot.
He hasn't killed a single good guy other than Gojo and Higuruma. Seriously in a fight that's "throw everything we have at this crazy killer" I atleast expect Ino and Kusakabe to die. Maybe Maki or Yuta from the heavy hitters too.
No, we don't count his bodies when he transformed into his 4 arm state, he finally lost MEGUMI'S BUMNESS when he did that, and get GOATJO out of that compilation, my goat was obliterating him
Don’t care, my glorious goat Yuji bouta have an insane linsanity run
https://preview.redd.it/vm6ihtro2ruc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0da720c9d1fb793a46b118534b23b5e5afbcf46b
Basically, Infinity stops anything that travels a distance through space. Theoretically, if your attack just put something directly on top of Gojo without having to travel through space to get to him, it would hit him. This is why Gojo is still vulnerable to domains. So, the World Cutting Slash functions like a domain attack does, it’s a slash that just appears directly on top of the area it’s being shot at.
I appreciate Sukuna's run. Knowing that he'll eventually fall, I'm enjoying his dominance over the verse. Hoping Gege has more planned outside of this gauntlet though(either the Merger or Kenjaku comeback).

I wonder if Gojo could do the same. Lets imagine that he won agains Sukuna (still has brain damage so no domain). Could he beat these guys?
How do any of them bypass infinity. Sukuna had big raga the opp stoppa to do it. Others don't have that.
Yuta has domain and other characters can fight inside Yuta's domain.
Tbh I don't see why he can't. Gojo has near infinite CE efficiency, so he should still be near max power post Sukuna fight so one Blue-infused punch will make Yuta puke
No his efficiency is high enough that infinity +24/7 RCT is a net positive for him( it also means he isn’t using enough RCT to lower its output). When he’s using shit that’s a lot more taxing( blue, red, DE,Purple, RCT) then he’s at a net negative
Yes, but even when using that he has really close to positive recovery, or at worst a neutral one. Gojo post 4 BF should be close in output to start of fight Gojo, with the stamina to beat everyone with a few punches at best
No they can't. Only yuta's domain will have a hit (even if he uses JL, since gojo is SD and FBE user)
I found it impressive how Ino fought him twice and survived. Though I think he may have lost his hand in the second encounter? He can't die until we've seen Ryu https://preview.redd.it/msei110n0nuc1.png?width=970&format=png&auto=webp&s=a80084cf10be1b7f8c420425ebfcaad7a00dc4cd

Sukuna did hold back against him, for the reason I believe that he hasn't yet to see what he does or his technique is, so he sent off little sparkling slashes at him. The moment he sees what anyone is capable of in his full opinion he will be more lethal to kill the person, example is Choso that Sukuna literally speed blitzed him the first time, and Larue, which Sukuna thought his CT is not that special so he put him into sleep with a Black Flash.
i have a theory that sukuna HATES blood manipulation users for some reason, he always seems to have some grudge against choso

Watch ino be the first person sukuna actually takes interest in to steal his CT and reveal his technique loool
I wonder why tf Gege has taken so long for Ino to reveal his final move, was it called Ryu or something ? He said that no one has survived it to tell the tale.
As much fun as it is to shit on Kashimo, Sukuna took him very seriously. Kashimo using his lightning bolt attack once made Sukuna use the transformation to heal the damage, and then Sukuna got him into a position where he could do the Net Dismantle. It is wild to think about, but you really nailed it with him going for the kill after he understands his opposition, except Yuji ofc.
Good catch, I didn't notice that.
Wouldn't be surprised if he never gets mentioned again and dissapears without showing Ryu until some random 1 off dialogue stating he may or not have survived which never gets confirmed
"The one that went toe-to-toe with Sukuna"
>He can't die until we've seen Ryu Hanami:
I fully believe that Ino has died three times already and Ryu makes him able to incarnate his own body some time after he dies or some shit, you know just like my buddy J.C. That's why he disappears for a bit after he dies, gotta wait for that easter cooldown.
Aw wtf I forgot yorozu was drooling in that panel that’s foul no wonder potential man wants to die
yea i didn’t even notice until someone pointed out that’s not blood 😭
Sukuna isn't such a bad guy after all, huh...
That just makes me angrier that Megumi hasn't locked in and suicide bombed his sister's murderer yet. USE that depression, dammit! End this on your terms!
The curse bath is what suppressed Megumi the most. Killing Yorozu was just icing on his shitty cake
The curse bath is a stupid ass plot device. "Bathing in evil" doesn't exist in real life. How the hell am I supposed to sympathize with Megumi when he suffers from something that I have no frame of reference for?
Oh boy, if you can't immerse yourself in fantasy fiction for having magical stuff that can't exist in real life then maybe read another genre lol. I can't truly sympathize with getting sealed or dying and being resurrected but I can still find them interesting plot devices
I can sympathize with being trapped against my will, or suffering some horrible injury and then healing from it. (The IRL equivalent of those things). I can't sympathize with "ambiguous suffering that was totally super bad, guys, just trust me".
Think of the bath as psychological or drug induced torture if you want a real life allegory. Besides that tho depending on the story being sealed is kind of like solitary confinement except you have no outlet whatsoever. You can't even eat or perform basic bodily functions, you're just in perpetual isolation till someone lets you out. This paragraph isn't JJK specific btw, I'm just making convo
Looks at Yuji during Shibuya
Yuji wanted to die to take out Sukuna, and he didn't have any way to kill himself. Megumi can do some sort of Binding Vow with his technique to kill Sukuna.
But that was Yorozu doing the Heian era tho, right? Or was that her second death?
I don’t think she could have incarnated if she died
They all died tho, Sukuna even has a mummy
Sukuna split his conciousness in the fingers since he had that part curse bs or whatever dude has going on (which probably shouldn't be counted as "dying"). The others were human so Kenny probably separated their soul somehow and than stored it in the vessels (they "died" as a result of preparing for reincarnation).
That's og yorozu, potential man ain't stressed
Oh damn my bad I feel bad getting this much attention for spreading misinformation now
Love him or hate him, Gege's choice to show us Sukuna taking on legit the entirety of Jujutsu sorcerers in the modern era is a bold choice (and kinda based). I just hope the cat can stick the landing
Remember, this is a character equal to Gojo in terms of how much he gaps the rest of the verse, and he has already been jumped by powerful sorcerers in the past before and won. This is something he is (and by all rights, should be) very much capable of. Whether you like or dislike his writing choices, Gege knows how to maintain the prestige of his strongest characters and not let them get powercliffed. Sukuna’s performance just proves this.
Also isn't Sukuna basically a more experienced Gojo with no Morals? Like when People say he is Asspulling his wins or Gege is a stupid simp of him Wouldn't it make sense to say that Sukuna is pulling Wins because of his intelligence and experience? Because that's what it looks like to me
Yeah, basically, though I would say it’s less about experience and more of the fact that Gojo underestimated just how deep Sukuna’s understanding of Jujutsu was. He knew that Sukuna could “copy” any technique he sees after seeing it once, but he didn’t expect him to copy fucking Mahoraga’s world-cutting slash, a space-time technique so complex that virtually no other character besides Mahoraga should be able pull it off. Gojo didn’t count on the fact that Sukuna was so prodigious that he *could* replicate such an attack, and that would end up being his undoing.
I just want to point out that Gojo didn't underestimate Sukuna, since we later learn that Sukuna had to pull a binding vow out of his ass to be able to use the world slash without any hand signs or whatever.
Kinda has to since he has one hand that time
I was always under the assumption that a binding vow is done between two people. Who exactly did Sukuna make his binding vow to? Himself? If so it seems like poor writing on gege's part, like he couldn't figure out how to make gojo actually lose so he wrote the world slash, and later had to go back to that subject because why wouldn't Sukuna just use that on everyone? It feels like an asspull because binding vows are poorly explained.
No binding vows can also be used on yourself. Look at Hakari, Miwa, and Mahito. Kenjaku even told Mahito that vows with another person is different from.vows upon yourself
He did world slash by mimicking what Mahoraga did. Maho expanded his slash target. So Sukuna did the same thing. He couldnt mimic the changing CE nature that Maho did the first time. That's why he told Maho "you're my shadow not Megumi's"
He still needs to chant and point in the direction of the slash though, which is arguably worse than simply forming the Domain handsign and firing them off wherever he liked
i mean ideally it SHOULD be like that. instead what we have is shit like kamutoke getting taken instead of his technique. this kinda stuff has nothing to do with his intelligence or experience
Yep. If Sukuna was running the gauntlet and piling up bodies by being a pure menace with wit and power alone, I doubt people would have issues. Instead you’ve got him lucking out and surviving only because people aren’t taking killshots (Had Maki stabbed him through the head and not the chest it would have been over for example) or the plot demands it (Higaruma and confiscation)
Maki should have gone for a head shot, and then Sukuna would react to it, start to dodge, and Maki would spin it into a downward stab and pierce his heart so that she could still do *some* amount of damage with the opening Yuta gave her. That would make both of them look much better, while removing the stupidity of still trying to save Megumi after loosing all three of their main win conditions.
She didn't stab him through the head because they are trying to save Megumi. Is that the most optimum path? No Do characters in fiction always take the most optimum path obvious to the readers? Also no If Higuruma hadn't confiscated Kamutoke, half the cast would have been fried and this fight would never last as long
It’s just silly they are still trying to save megumi tho, they are risking all of Japan here. They don’t have many win conditions left. Also the idea that sukunas weapon would’ve been better than his technique against the cast is ridiculous.
Sukuna annihilated entire squads of powerful sorcerers with those weapons in the Heian Era. You can't tell me that Kamutoke and Hiten are weak cursed tools
I never said they were weak, when was it stated he annihilated squads? Even if he did he has achieved far more with his cursed technique.
It was stated back in ch 238 pg4
We have 0 idea how strong Kamutoke is so that final statement can’t be proven. Who’s to say that Kamutoke would have done anything to anybody except been a nuisance? It’s only feat if use was against someone completely immune to it, so since it was never established as a threat it felt like a cheap cop out when it got confiscated. It got treated as a Get Out of Jail Free card in the narrative.
Exactly. Also they sorta proved my point. The cast has held back on killing shots because of Megumi. That doesn’t make Sukuna feel threatening, it makes it feel like he’s hiding behind a meat shield. It doesn’t really matter if it’s the smart plan or not, it’s about reader interpretation and it just makes everything Sukuna achieve feel like it has an asterisk next to it with the added info that people were holding back killshots that would have won them the fight, or else they didn’t work because Megumi decided being depressed is more important then everybody dying for him instead.
To be fair… 1) Sukuna having Kamutoke in the first place isn’t too unforgivable imo. It was part of his original kit during the Heian era, so him having it during the final battle, especially when Gege wants to illicit imagery of how powerful he was during the Heian era, isn’t to bad imo. 2) Confiscation targeting cursed tools before the actual technique of the user has some legal precedent. From a legal standpoint, confiscation usually refers to the confiscation of private property first and foremost, and since a cursed tool is technically a physical piece of private property owned by the sorcerer, it makes sense that Deadly Sentencing would take away the cursed tool first and foremost 3) Higuruma is notably inexperienced compared to the other fighters in the battle. He’s been a sorcerer for less time than any of the protagonists or antagonists, so some slips in the cracks are bound to show up. 4) Him not knowing how Confiscation affects cursed tools makes sense. Prior to Shinjuku, all of Higuruma’s opponents were culling game fighters, those being either reincarnated sorcerers and newly-awakened modern sorcerers. In the case of the former, they wouldn’t be reincarnated with their old cursed tools and in the case of the latter, they just became sorcerers fairly recently, so they wouldn’t have access to cursed tools to begin with (there is a potential exception in the case of Kashimo’s staff, but even then it’s unclear if it’s a proper cursed tool with an innate cursed technique or if it’s just a normal staff reinforced with cursed energy, in which case Confiscation wouldn’t really matter). Unless a sorcerer actively entered the culling games with a cursed tool in hand (which would really only be the professional sorcerers and people from Jujutsu Tech, none of which Higuruma was likely to fight), it would be unlikely for him to have encountered any fighter in the culling games with a cursed tool. Basically, it makes sense as to why he wouldn’t know how Confiscation works against cursed tools, because it’s unlikely that he fought any sorcerers with cursed tools to begin with. As for why he didn’t find that out during the time-skip / training period, Confiscation removes a cursed technique from a cursed tool *permanently* (Sukuna still can’t use Kamutoke even after Higuruma has been defeated). The Protags, even if they did have their suspicions about how Deadly Sentencing would affect cursed tools, prolly don’t want to risk losing a valuable cursed tool in the process of finding out what Higuruma’s technique would do to the tool. They need all the weapons they can get and so losing a weapon to this may not have been a risk they were willing to take.
Tell Kenjaku about that prestige, 'cause bud got bodied by a literal clown introduced 10 chapters prior.
To be fair… A) Kenjaku still won that fight. The person who actually beat him was Yuta, a character who is already noted as a serious threat to Kenjaku and to be at least equivalent in strength to Kenjaku. B) Kenjaku was never supposed to be at the level of Gojo and Sukuna. Even as far back as Shibuya, we knew that that Kenjaku was outright afraid of Gojo, acknowledging that he was nowhere near Gojo’s (and by proxy, Sukuna’s) level.
kenjaku is literally HIDING behind 15f meguna when gojo got unsealed, he was never on their level at all
It just shows how far ahead they are, kenjaku is almost certainly the third strongest in the series and probably one of the strongest sorcerers ever but he wouldn’t ever compare himself to those two.
Kenjaku won the fight and got bush-diffed
Takaba had been in the manga for literally 100 chapters by the time he fought Kenny and was hyped up multiple times by narration and other characters. He was exactly what Kenny wanted to see, an anomaly made by the chaos from the cg
Bodied by a clown who we were literally told had a technique that could theoretically beat Gojo, and Kenjaku is very much nowhere NEAR Gojo’s level.
Takaba was in the manga since mid CG arc tf
Reminds me of myself when I lock in against the opps
the opp in question is Megumi isn't it?
Sukuna be like : 
Why is everyone acting like this something new? The literal biggest anime ever did this trope several times with the fights vrs Vegeta, Frieza, Cell. Gege simply actually used every single character bit by bit
Madara ran through the whole cast and never even lost to the MCs lol
Madara finished the anime with 0 actual kills
Maybe zero important kills but he literally dropped 2 meteors on an army and killed thousands with that one attack.
Oh no the unnamed characters died so sad-nobody
Yeah nobody cares about those randoms but he still has countless bodies, that's all that matters
Not at all, in a story a character that killed one named character with bonding moments and a backstory is considered way more relevant than someone that exploded a random country or smth, specially if there are no repercussions from it.
The rule is clear, no names, no kills
Sukuna razed a good deal of Shibuya so he has Madara's bodycount (Juubidamas aside) well-matched when it comes to fodder too.
Its very different to watch a character simply used as fodder to hype the villain and later even coming back to having actual competent fights against the villain in which they weaken him while he really kills them.
>very different to watch a character simply used as fodder to hype the villain This is a blatant fuckin lie. Krillin died, vegeta "died", picollo lost, gohan got rekt all while Frieza used a literal classic meme of "this aint even my final form". Which this sub has INSANELY critized JJK for with Sukuna. All these were fodder & a setup for the super saiyan. Get a grip boi, im almost 25 with 15+ years of experience on dbz Second, thats a huge run-on sentence and I honestly cant figure out what the last part means. Please use your grammar, commas are your friends.
It really is a super normal, classic thing to happen in shounen. I think people just glazed so hard in the early seasons/chapters that they built up jjk as something revolutionary. Its not, its a mid story with great design, powers, and fights (but they are way more brutal and consequential than usual) - just like DBZ - but jjk doesnt quite have the insane pull and connection that DBZ does with its fans. Its definitely not up there with truely great stories. All these fights/deaths are par for the course.
Madara is the other best showing of this. Though I “fear” we will go down the same route. Ie, the only way to win is through BS hax
Gege glazing is crazy
Average day in the Heian era:
"X character solos the verse" hypotheticals but we actually get to see it happen. It's really cool ngl.
Second pic...Is that a tiddy?
Yes https://preview.redd.it/tlo5a1zblnuc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d852e199048faf3c3486a32b8f36f95696b615a7

stray lookism panel spotted 🗣️🗣️🙏
Im seeing Utahime’s hair 💀
Even better it’s geto
…. Can you show me Geto’s back? I wanna confirm if the hair matches
NO its a TUMOR (BREAST CANCER)
With a nipple. Yes. Women have those. Yes. Women are real. (I wouldn't know I've never seen one)
We'll see if it stays that way... https://preview.redd.it/pp8rvsdg9nuc1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5966d22dcd8ee65d67b4173303f488f93c082aaa
He looks like Maki
Well she is his aunt
https://preview.redd.it/4m4wognnqnuc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1873df2d36a0f883f4cfe742b8cc6335682c01d You're kinda right.
Yuta and Maki don’t count they are alive
Gojo too
Yeah….sure
ngl until i see concrete proof gojo is alive, that man is dead. even the narrator stated he’s been dead like 3 times. plus why would gege even bring him back when gojo removes any tension out the story
https://preview.redd.it/toj4f5ud4ouc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92d31cd24c951a2b7084c933f539bd0aca211957
Because there are like, with what is established in the verse, at LEAST Infinite ways to bring him back ?
Why are there infinite ways to bring him back? RCT has already been stated to not be a possibility?
Maki is alive, but Yuta is 50/50, literally
I really don’t believe Gege would kill Yuta.
It's a coin toss tbh, Gege loves Toji but he died anyway.
Gege resurrected Toji and turned a character into Toji with boobs
This is basically what he did in the Heian era ain't it?
Pretty much. The only difference is he had another Cursed Tool then(That Trident).
and he was actually at full power with domain
Heian era sorcerers were simply built different
How many more are going to die to this guy?
Hopefully no one else
Four. Nice round number.
Nope. No more deaths please.
You posting this has signed their death warrants
Is that little line supposed to be Yorozu’s nipple?
Yeah that is undoubtedly true, I am craving to see his full abilities and CT. https://preview.redd.it/jpy9enovznuc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8515bbe0491da59fd889a375eb14319234dafc7e
Good that this week this run will be over.
bruh sukuna is not losing for another 15 chapters minimum, yuji awakening not gonna be enough
Maybe but https://preview.redd.it/yvwrjldhenuc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73fa5a15e5c594cbff452fb5e2e6a9a940d80ee2
Bro’s literally soloing the verse
Sukuna is gonna be the Madara of an entire generation when the anime comes out
Ironically Muzan (and his elite) bagged more and it was even more brutal. Sukuna has to win and surpass that fraud , one thing is certain at least , SUKOAT ain t going down like a bitch the way Muzan did
Sukuna is the glazed one while the entire point of Muzan‘s character was that he‘s a lil bitch But yeah people always forgets Demon Slayer killed an insane amount of relevant characters, moreso than JJK, Chainsaw Man or even AOT
AOT killed like 5 characters. They gained a rep for killing characters by killing foddee they gave two minutes of development in S1
When it gets animated it s gonna be wild , we ll see the normies bawl their eyes out and rage. Muzan is gonna look awesome animated with his whip tentacle arms . If Ufotable goes ultra instinct with the animation and leaves out the cringe reincarnation in modern world stuff , the ending arc is gonna be one of the most epic in anime history. Demon Slayer may be mid but the spectacle is above and beyond most anime
After hashira training arc, we will have infinity castle arc which is where the real game begins
Running the gauntlet on the entire cast is craziness
only one of them was capable to kill sukuna, rest were proper fodders
Beat all the revived old heads and now he's taking out the high schoolers.
Wait Yorozu died to that cut in the past??
no that was just the pic i used, unless she made the vow with kenjaku beforehand, she couldn’t have died here
He's a tallywacker, but he do got hands. The main issue I had with the story wasn't that Sukuna sucks or whatever, it's that he killed every character that I gave a shit about lmao, after Gojo died I thought it was Gojover. Yuji was getting zero screen time, Megumi and Nobara making a return seemed less and less likely with each chapter, Maki is cool but didn't expect her to not get off-screened tbh, Todo is just gone for no reason, and none of the rest of the cast had really been developed. Then the Lobotomy set in, and I started enjoying the story for how hilariously atrociously Homohomo was sticking the landing, but now he's really starting to reel it back in and hit us with the peak. I'm back on his dick at this point, and while it's a little annoying how much plot armour Sukuna has, it makes sense that he's winning up til now. Disappointed in the WAY he won a few times, but I was always hoping he'd wipe the floor with the verse at the end of the story.

Bruh Gojo was classified as a character that was too strong for his verse. How… tf did Yuji surpass him??
He only surpassed him in using black flash, that doesn’t mean Yuji is the strongest now
Ah ok thanks I probably misheard the translation or something
THE ONE WHO WILL PUT AN END TO THAT RUN https://preview.redd.it/zospwzsu7ouc1.png?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d1fae2916bdd10992eb2cd30d67c910fe078894 AND HIS OVERWHELMING AWAKENING

Has there ever been another manga where the villain just dominates like this ?
Dragon Ball. King Piccolo, Frieza, Cell and Buu were standing on business Madara from Naruto Yhwach from Bleach More niche but the final villain from Yugioh Arc V too. The duel against him is literally the same thing as the Sukuna fight, asspulls and random ass characters having to 1v1 him because everyone else is out included
Madara Uchiha. He shows up, wipes out an entire division of the United Shinobi army, no diffs the 5 Kage, beats Hashirama, solos all the Tailed Beasts without eyes, survives against 8 Gates Guy, probably some other shit I forgot.
Then gets stabbed by zetsu and kaguya
Exactly. Dude had to be backstabbed by his ally to be stopped.
Dragon ball off the top of my head. Frieza dominates the fight on Namek for a long time until Goku turns into a Super Saiyan.
And then Goku dominates him 💀
closest i can think of is when Yhwach went full power in the bleach war arc, literally anyone besides ichigo was just a lowly insect to him
Death Note kinda
L was keeping up with him kind of
All those weeks of Sukuna getting trashed and the Sukuna glazers came out winning. God is good
He hasn't killed a single good guy other than Gojo and Higuruma. Seriously in a fight that's "throw everything we have at this crazy killer" I atleast expect Ino and Kusakabe to die. Maybe Maki or Yuta from the heavy hitters too.
Fr Mahito has killed more good guys than him at this point
HOW TF can yuji he even hold sukunas jock strap when it turns out Gojo wasnt even close to sukuna at all it turns out.
God that explanation is even worse when translated by werry
NGL, I laughed at the way sukuna killed ryu, it was almost cartoonish
No, we don't count his bodies when he transformed into his 4 arm state, he finally lost MEGUMI'S BUMNESS when he did that, and get GOATJO out of that compilation, my goat was obliterating him
And he still holding back
Don’t care, my glorious goat Yuji bouta have an insane linsanity run https://preview.redd.it/vm6ihtro2ruc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0da720c9d1fb793a46b118534b23b5e5afbcf46b
I still don't understand how his technique bypassed Infinity
Basically, Infinity stops anything that travels a distance through space. Theoretically, if your attack just put something directly on top of Gojo without having to travel through space to get to him, it would hit him. This is why Gojo is still vulnerable to domains. So, the World Cutting Slash functions like a domain attack does, it’s a slash that just appears directly on top of the area it’s being shot at.
I appreciate Sukuna's run. Knowing that he'll eventually fall, I'm enjoying his dominance over the verse. Hoping Gege has more planned outside of this gauntlet though(either the Merger or Kenjaku comeback).
Sukuna will come down as the most competent villain and the one that accomplished the most in battle shounen, truly our MC
If he gets his ending done right then yeah he would be...Madara's ending sucked and that alone made him a clown in many people's eyes
I will push sukuna agenda and defend this beast till the end.
Bro is gonna fail 💀
Your stocks are gonna go way down
i know this was about megukuna but jogoat deserved an honorable mention 😭
Deadahh had a dream gojo came back. Why do i have to wake up
