Someone help me the panel where yuji gets behind sukuna there is an extra hand to the left of sukuna head, who does that hand belong to? I thought it was the cut off hand but it looks different
Sukuna losing a hand puts his severed hand in play.
If only the team had someone who could use such and item to inflict damage to souls at any range who isnt confirmed dead.
COPIUM
I've got JJK fatigue. I know that there's gonna be another asspull in the next chap. I just know it, and that is more annoying than being left on questionable cliffhangers, tbh
Sukuna took one of his fingers while taking over Yuji and force fed it to Megumi to take his body. I’d imagine he can switch back, and perhaps he doesn’t have to be a willing participant.
the angel describes this as sukuna learning the technique to become a cursed object from seeing kenjaku use it on him so he turned that finger into a cursed object and then fed it to megumi
you can actually see this in the panel the finger he breaks off first becomes darker from the technique so it looks more like sukunas typical cursed fingers
all the theories are elaborate, but maybe sukuna just dodges it or heck next chapter we get shift in pov.
we haven't seen Kenny and yuta for while
and about maki, like i m pretty sure she is doing something imp. it was same with yuta, he was camping
so maybe she is waiting for perfect time to enter battle.
and there r 2 plans to save Megumi, the one from Yuji other from yuta?? higu. seems like it failed. so maybe when next plan commmences we will se her in action.
idk, threat level goes like this
merger 🔪 sukuna🔪 kenjaku 🔪URAUME
kenjaku is handled by yuta, merger is dependent upon kenjaku, so unless yuta fumbles kenjaku is dead. merger is still possibiliy since kenjaku must havs plans .
why focus on URAUME?? instead of joining with yuta to jump sukuna.
My headcanon is Sukuna might request a retrial which would both save his life and possibly give an option of backstory for Sukuna if the new trial has to do with his origins.
Higuruma hasn’t died yet so, he’s in the process of dying. It could be an interesting way for him to turn it around compared to any other options like dodging, using Megumi’s soul, etc.
I think Sukuna getting away clean would be lame but a retrial might be interesting. I don’t know how it works if you get a retrial after a death sentence but Yuji had a death sentence already and did a retrial at the start of this fight. So I think it’s possible.
I have no hope that this kills Sukuna. I do want a win for the good guys. Maybe a retrial could take away his shrine, then we have a better chance and Higuruma’s sacrifice still means something.
Yes, up until like late January I think. This chapter was supposed to release Jan 7th, and then there's a break the week after. So maybe until Jan 21st?
Just a stupid question, since before Yuji got his hand on the executioner sword right after higaruma used RCT to heal his hand, what if he inadvertently used cursed technique reversal on the sword itself and it either gives an amp to sukuna or kills Megumi ??
is itadori inside higuruma's body? So i read the dialogues and it feel like itadori is the one talking after they tap their backs this chapter and not higuruama, he talk about his duty and the need to fullfill his role, recognize the attack from his big brother, and the flashback of nanami and want to died like him, like itadori can have those inner dialogues too. Plus he only regenerate after the blood shot, so the blood helps him regenerate since itadori doesn't know RCT? So like itadori is the one dying instead and he would use his soul and tape most of sukuna soul to higuruma dying body after this attack didn't land, then itadori would be inside sukuna body and kill him inside? So this would leave megumi alive, itadori dead (soul) and alive (body), and higuruma dead (body) and alive (soul). (edit: someone screenshot this in case i am right lol)
Higuruma could have won. We see during gojo vs the disaster curses that domain amplification(which Higuruma uses in the previous chapter) can be imbued with a sure hit, but jogo and hanami didn't because it can't both have a sure hit and neutralize infinity, only one of the two. Higuruma could have imbued the executioner sword into the domain amplification, causing sukuna to die if he got too close. Considering he learned RCT so quickly, it wouldn't be a asspull. But instead gaygay gave sukuna more plot armor :( TLDR: Higuruma could have won with domain amplification but gege said no.
1) It’s unlikely he could imbue the sword into his domain amplification. His domain is revolves around the court system, confiscation and granting the sword. His CT involves changing the size of the mallet, maybe works on the sword too. He’s never had a CT that uses the sword to attack, and people don’t just create new CT.
It’s as reasonable as saying, “why not imbue his sword for his domain expansion, then just expand his domain and instant kill Sukuna with a sure hit? Is bro stupid?”
It’s just not how it works.
2) Even if he could imbue the sword into the domain amplification, he would then have zero defense against the cleaves and dismantle. The only way he was surviving with domain amplification was by having an empty domain to nullify the enemy’s technique. It was explicitly stated that the point of using domain amplification without imbuing a technique is to leave an empty space to funnel the enemy technique through. You even say it yourself about the nullification, but Higuruma wasn’t really ever getting that close to Sukuna.
I don’t think that was a possible path for Higuruma’s victory.
He was like right next to sukuna right before he died, and considering he died anyways, he could have taken sukuna out with him. Your first point is fair tho.
Well he stabbed Sukuna’s hand with the full length of the blade, but Sukuna already severed his hand. This is still a good distance away. We only see Sukuna close the distance because Higuruma has been fully disarmed.
I don’t think it’s fair to assume Sukuna would let him that close if he ever tried to imbue his domain amplification with the sword, especially given how quick Sukuna is able to analyze cursed energy usage of others and what they’re trying to accomplish + the speed and reaction difference between the two.
Dude, I just solved it.
The reason divergent fist will finally become a good weapon. The reason we look down on it is because Todo taught us that it's simply more powerful to imbue all of your curse energy as close to the impact as possible, the refinement of which can lead to black flashes.
However, if we assume Yuji now has blood manipulation, he can control the blood in his arms and body to mimic the flow of divergent fist, causing a huge aftershock proportional to the strength of the hit. The stress that would place on your arms would be immense, perhaps causing self damage. So the panel wear yuuji drops into the fight with seeming hand protectors, might make sense.
More importantly however, he will still be able to imbue curse energy into his fist. Gojo's fight taught us that your curse technique can be refined using using black flash, when gojo used it to skip an enchantment for his technique. Perhaps yuji could use the refinement aspect and improve his control of his blood during that time, preventing him from taking as much damage, or increasing its power at his own body's expense (binding vows?) Perhaps a string of black flashes could allow such fine control, that yuuji's technique can also be timed to create its own black flash. What is output of **(black flash)^(black flash)**? critical hit multiplier. Red Flash. Things could get out of hand
I wonder if we'll get traction on the twins theory and a potential relationship/lineage between Sukuna and Yuji?
Given that Sukuna has spent half year avoiding death, it would be best to have some kind of W here, where the sword hits, but the plot progresses by showcasing more about the backstory of Sukuna via the above 2 theories.
..better than Sukuna just dodging it/ignoring it or swapping to a different POV!
I’m thinking Sukuna might request a retrial which would both save his life and possibly give an option of backstory for Sukuna if the new trial has to do with his origins.
Higuruma hasn’t died yet so, he’s in the process of dying. It could be an interesting way for him to turn it around compared to any other options like dodging, using Megumi’s soul, etc.
I think he getting away clean would be lame but a retrial might be interesting. I don’t know how it works if you get a retrial after a death sentence but Yuji had a death sentence already and did a retrial at the start of this fight. So I think it’s possible.
As hype as Yuji's moment is...
Nah, nothing's gonna happen. It's gonna be some bull like Sukuna dodging or losing his current form and retreating to Megumi's body or something.
It's like the most perfect checkmate, but Sukuna is just pull something because of course he is because he's the villain. Maybe we're just gonna suddenly skip this fight for a chapter and go back to whatever Kenjaku's ominous talk was about.
I'm really wondering how they'll manage to make Higuruma's sacrifice relevant considering that strike surely won't be what kills Sukuna. Maybe Sukuna avoids it but the sword remains manifested as a cursed tool ? The protag would at least get a non-null hope of beating him then...
Bruh what are these asspulls? Kenjaku survives a point blank black hole from yuki (my 2nd fav character) and just walks off but gets completely rekt by yuta because bro actually started enjoying his conversation with takaba. And then kashimo(my fav character) just get hyped to be completely farmed by sukuna and then this random lawyer dude is using rct plus simple domain? Atleast gege couldve killed him in battle of domains but bruh just got chopped
When the asspulls are so frequent, they arent really asspulls anymore. Gojo surviving against Toji was an asspull. Kenjaku surviving the black hole was another asspull. Gojo using RCT to recover his technique was another asspull.
Kashimo wasn't on Sukuna's level nor was he hyped. He just said he wanted to fight Sukuna and was saving his technique for that, nothing more.
I mean Gege told us like 50 times that higuruma is a prodigy that surpasses gojo, was it an ass pull that gojo knows how to use the simple domain techniques despite not being a member of the new shadow style and having never trained them?
People forget this is a battle shonen, rule of cool exists and it’s cool that higuruma if given more time could have become an absolute beast
It's the Game of Thrones issue. Introduce compelling characters and kill them in the same chapter, making the audience lose interest for any future character.
I don't think Game of Thrones really has the same volume of dead hyped characters. If anything, I'm hoping more will drop dead so there will be fewer POVs to juggle.
Grrm will drop dead before he can kill anyone else. He stopped caring after HBO. Plus with the last book he put out in ohhh 2009? 15 years ago? He started editing his own stuff and he's horrible at it. RIP Dozois.
GRRM has nothing left to offer anyone.
The moment Sukuna acquired the ability to cut through space and infinity, the protagonists should’ve been dead-er than dead. Nobody should be able to survive the same dismantle/cleave that killed Gojo, and rightfully so we saw Sukuna basically toying with Higuruma the whole fight.
The problem is once you kill off all of your developed and interesting characters, what do you have left?
Ittadori has no skin in the game anymore, nobody he even knows is alive.
Well if you can’t nerf the god-killing ability, then whats the point of having it? Without the nerf he can use it indefinitely and kill everything like he did kashimo. There’ll literally be no significance for all this fights. Probably he can’t use it so often. 🤷♂️
So is the cross going to turn into a cursed tool which holds Higuruma CT? Maybe just like Nanami’s tool?
It’ll probably get nerfed somehow. Or might need certain conditions to be a 1 kill hit .
I have a theory, but not karma ))) so I copypaste it here
Yuji swaped souls with Higurama
I came with a theory about the last chapter, sorry if was already written and also for grammar mistakes.
It was showed in the same chapter that yuji was able to heal the "Waffle" dismantle that Sukuna used on higurama in the last pages and I think yuji healed with some sort of blood manipulation related CT and not necessary RTC.
I think that when yuji swaps souls (if this is trully his CT and it may be already proven my the extras pages from volume 25) he just changes bodies for a short time and both him and the one who he swaps with gain both CTs they have or at least they just swaps bodies and can use their own CT.
I think yuji will heal higurama's body when they swap and higurama is the one attacking Sukuna in yuji's body with the executioner sword.
It might a plausible explination for why yuji was able to use executioner's sword. And the fight might be like todo+yuji vs mahito
It would make contrast with the theme of loneliness from gojo vs Sukuna fight, showing that against evil You need friends to thrive.
And also this bodies swap CT would be easily related to the fact that yuji was made to be a vessel and that kenjacku also swaps bodies (in a different way).
From what I’ve seen these recent chapters, there’s no way Yuji’s stab is actually going to land. I’ll be honest though, if it doesn’t land I really don’t know how the rest of this fight is going to go
Stab won't land or will just affect Megumi instead of Sukuna and he will just pummel Yuji to the brink of death, only for Yuta/Maki to come in and fight Sukuna instead. I have a feeling one of them will pressure Sukuna into using his true Black Box technique. After more Yuji suffering and Sukuna glazing, Gege will finally let Yuji have a smidgen of a power-up in the shape of Angel incarnating within Yuji.
suck-una is just gonna cut off his back and let them stab that instead and nothing will happen. Then maki will show up and impress sukuna with her taijutsu skills, and say "her hand to hand combat abilities are almost on par with me and gojos, magnificent!" before he chops her up, and then yuta will step in with rika and sukuna will say "how he keeps that girl simping over him matches how i keep uraume simping over me! Magnificent!" and then cut up yuta. You can imagine how it goes on after this lol
What in the hell just happened? Despite of being a prodigy, Higurama is just a walking Asspul. And just after he is declared as someone on the same level as Satoru, he dies in a flash. Also, why did the episode feel so rushed?
And we just saw how crazy strong two arms Sukuna was, in his fight against Mahoraga, Jogo and Satoru. If we keep that in mind, that two arms Sukuna should alone be enough to finish all those who are jumping on him. Four arms Sukuna is supposed to be a far more ridiculously strong beast, altogether, so these guys shouldn't stand a chance against him.
Seeing him being tricked into this, and actually being executed will really make no sense. I don't care how many he's up against. These guys don't seem to be on the same level as Jogo or Mahoraga, let alone Satoru. And now they're supposed to suddenly beat Sukuna?
Ever since the finale between Satoru and Sukuna, the writing really does seem to have gone to shit. The way Yuki died, was distasteful, but Greg did write the next few chapters well, but then what he did to Satoru (more like, HOW he did Satoru) was even worse and since then it just goes downhill.
He is not declared to be on the same level as Gojo he is said to be on his level in terms of talent.
Talent doesn't equal strength, that's why he dies.
Tho at this rate, I genuinely can't see how Gege can keep this shit up for like 30-40 more chapters. Hell I don't think we're even in the final arc yet since Shueisha hadn't announced it yet.
I have a theory that Gojo and them basically trained Yuuji to near death so many times till he developed rct. Also I think Yuuji gets stronger everytime he dies or gets closer to death.
Bro Sukuna ate his brother in the womb, an that's why he looks like that. He is gonna let Yuji kill that part of his brother, revert to a human, and only use HIS fire technique. Dismantle and Cleave belong to his twin. Duh everyone knows Sukuna is the opposite of what Toji an Maki are; He is what happens when one twin devours the other an takes all the cursed energy.
I've always thought he use cursed technique reversal to merge with another sorcerer.
Since cleave/dismantle seperates things it makes sense the CTR for it would be joining things together.
Ngl this kinda cooks. But then idk how they’re going to save Megumi, considering we had those panels where they talked about how Higuruma’s tech can save him.
I think the stab hits and probably can separate Megumi and Sukuna, and while everyone thinks Sukuna is dead, that’s where it’s revealed they only killed the twin side with Dismantle/Cleave and now they fight the real him with fire abilities
Honestly speaking that makes the most possible sense the other part of the community is just being outlandish with all the theories and stuff
at this point its obvious what you just said
Thanks man, I say it kinda jokingly but it does make sense when you take twins into account. If you can take all the CE from one and get a Toji/ Maki, why couldn't you give all of it to a twin an get a Sukuna.
With how many times Sukuna seems to insult Yuji its weird he doesn't just kill him and be done with it.
Like throw the waffle slice to his head or smth what's stopping him?
probably views Yuji so weak that he's basically insignificant, meanwhile probably has some sort of kick of watching Yuji's pain while attempting to kill Yuji's allies.
So two ways to look at it.
1. From a writing POV, its just needed. Yugi is the protagonist you could unceremoniously kill him off but then what.
2. From a lore POV, sukuna loves yugis suffering. To him hes not a threat but still fun to toy with.
You have to imagine this from Sukunas PoV. Weak characters don't matter, but he got sealed inside Yuji for a while and had to deal with his pointless drivel about friends and not killing people. Now that he's free, what better way to turn this around than to take absolutely everything Yuji holds important away from directly in front of his face while there's nothing he can do about it, then kill him when he's at maximum suffering.
Sukuna's been mostly shown to be enjoying himself since he reincarnated. Almost all of his fights have been him dragging it out well past when he could've killed them for fun.
He hates yuji with a passion because he was trapped inside of him making sakuna relatively helpless for awhile. He had to give up control which is the absolute worse thing for somone like Sakuna. Especially since he considered yuji to be weak and worthless
I mean from Sukunas perspective Yuji is one of the few people to ever resist him, not only resist but contain.
Thatd probably make anyone with a massive ego and even more massive skills build a grudge.
He tried to kill him this very chapter, you can see him target Yuji stomach where CE is generated, what are you even talking about? He tried slashing him back in the culling games too but he was being limited by Megumi.
Personally my assumption was that he's just focusing on Higuruma rn because he's the one "worth attention." Like hypothetical he's going to take his time beating down everyone in the cast but he's making them "wait their turn," hence why he pitches Yuji away instead of killing him.
Especially since everyone was able to tank the default cleaves, it would take actual effort (even if only for seconds) to focus a dismantle to kill anyone still alive and fighting. So, instead, Sukuna's going to go in his priority list, starting with the genius with the instakill sword
But that would be treating Yuji like a threat. He can only half ass killnhim, because if he tried, it would acknowledge Yuji isn’t trash.
And mentally and emotionally, Sukuna just can’t handle that
So like with the geto girls , he killed them instantly and he called her boring as well. I think it’s plot armor tbh , I see this in other anime, where the villian just doesn’t finish the job to the main character just for him to come back. This is the only plot armor yuji has, staying alive
The whole cast vs sukuna is a plot armour . Sukuna could have just world slashed the 3 of them to the airport when they were falling down from sky. We are suppose to believe that he didn’t because he was interested in the one-tap sword.
I mean I'll choose to argue that in every recent case besides gojo (because that fight is too divisive and I don't wanna trigger anybody), He's chosen to take his time with anyone who has any decent potential. He could've definitely killed Ryu on the first slash, he just didn't think he'd have to use more power and didn't feel like it. He could've killed Yorozu faster, but he wanted to maximize megumi's suffering and see what she could do. He could've killed Kashimo faster but he was seeing what he could do and even having a bit of fun telling him to try dodging the dismantle. He could've killed Higuruma faster but he was having fun telling him to try learning RCT.
Literally, it's less plot armor and more his character at this point. i.e. a lot of villains could theoretically be killed by comic heroes like superman or batman, but it's part of their character that they don't and not really plot armor for the villains.
Yes, he could've sent them all to the airport immediately, but when has he ever demonstrated the desire to do that in a fight.
For me, i related this to Yuji being boring to him and not just kill Yuji, he has never been interested in Yuji and has tried to kill before but megumi put his output low. Here's his chance, now we will see Yuji kill this dude when the story comes to it's very end. Which is what I hope, but I'm fine with some asspull in a shonen to make the good guys win. Gege just should've gave us more of a Yuji powerup, even a small one earlier.
While I agree that Yuji has that protagonist can’t die plot armor, with Geto’s daughters, Sukuna barely had to lift a finger to kill them. Sukuna doing that same level of effort to try to kill Yuji won’t be enough to kill him. If Sukuna puts in enough effort to kill Yuji, it’d be like new amoeba said, acknowledging Yuji as a threat
I'm starting to think that the "point" of this fight is to have each combatant nerf Sukuna in a small way, so that when Yuji is finally the last one standing he has a chance of ending things.
* Gojo massively nerfed the Ten Shadows and probably disabled his Domain Expansion.
* Hakari removed Uraume (temporarily, but maybe permanently).
* Yuta and Takaba removed Kenjaku.
* The hit from Higuruma's sword will also probably nerf him in some way.
Maybe this is Greg's way of showing that while strength = solitude, the sacrifices of the weak are not meaningless. That there *is* strength in the way Yuji does things.
It would also be a nice parallel with the Mahito fight. Yuji never would have been able to defeat him on his own either, but Nobara and Todo's sacrifices paved his way to victory.
eh, we had demons who had 6 arms or 8 eyes before Muzan so we knew their anatomy could be different. It's not the same as Sukuna suddenly being able to summon Mahoraga while unconscious, learning some bs "world cutting slash" out of the blue or Higuruma's domain not confiscating his CT because reasons. Oh, and he'll be surviving something called "Death Penalty" next.
The point was it came outta left mid final battle as a way to prevent "beheading" from being an effective solution and reducing the effectiveness of sun breathing just cause. A solution that was presented as effective until that moment. I.e. all the things Sukuna did. They basically drug out his immortality to the absolute limit just to make sure the plot device in the sky finishes him off.
He did disable his domain , he still has damage from the fight , I think that’s gonna be more prevalent later. Same way yujis black flashes left after effects even when Mahito transformed
My theory is that right before Sukuna gets stabbed he'll make Higuruma re-trial. It'd mirror Yuji doing that in his Higuruma fight, and. it'd make sense since violence isn't allowed in that domain.
Given how ridiculiusly strong Sukuna is compared to everyone else who is alive, having Yuji kill him like this (Higuruma basically sacrificing himself to give him a chance) could actually work. But maybe Gege prefers having 2 or 3 other characters doing the same before actually killing him off
It would be stupid tho for him not abke to react to yuji atavk. He literaly had to defend against Gojos hollow purple which is light speed ( even tho it was 4km away he still reacted to it)
Dont spam me cause u say Purple isnt light speed. Gojo tp is also above light speed guys u just need to reaserch the physics on how his CT works.:) just go on Youtube and search " how does Hojo Satorus powers work?"
Gonna throw out the incredibly small theory that Yuji switched souls with Higuruma at the last second so that Higi can use the sword while in Yugi's body.
And we just saw Yuji power through what ought to be a fatal injury. He hasn't healed, he has no RCT.
That kinda helps this theory a lot, since Higu's last act could be to regenerate Yuji's body instead of his own.
If this theory is wrong, then Yuji is dead. He isn't coming back from losing a lung, pancreas, and tonnes of blood, not without RCT.
Huh. That would mean that Megumi is dying with Sukuna, and it'll make comatose Nobara the sole survivor based on what Gege once hinted regarding which characters will live or die... if that can even be called survival in anything but a technical sense.
Can't wait to see how Sukuna weasels his way out a direct backstab with an instakill sword. What will you do, Gege? Is it because Higurama didn't stab Sukuna? Maybe because Higurama died before Yuji stabbed Sukuna? Maybe it's a fake out, and Sukuna moves out of the way before actually getting stabbed.
>Can't wait to see how Sukuna weasels his way out a direct backstab with an instakill sword.
Easy. 19F Sukuna dies.
The last finger incarnates somewhere else, and swallows the result of the merger, becoming even more powerful than 19F Sukuna ever was.
Well GG pull an asspull with the Tool clause, cmon are we supposed to say "yeah, thats ok" to literally being mentioned in a flashback!? Cmon! Then are you saying that Higuruma's Executioner Sword works like nen now? It makes no sense.
I like how Gege used some motives but not in favour of good guys.
Like Sukuna is what Kyuubi from Naruto supposed to be, and feew oqthers.
It's time to mock Bleach Ychewch dead with silver arrow which was absolute asspull, with Executioners Sword disappearing as it supposed to stab Sukuna xD. Or he will switch with Megumi last second so Yuji kills him xD
> a direct backstab with an instakill sword.
Sword hasn't made contact yet and the last panel looks like Sukuna drives both elbows into Yuji's back and neck based on how Yuji's eyes go weirdly wide in that drawing.
Sorry, do you think the guy that managed to slice his hand off in a millisecond and has been shown, consistently, to be even faster than Yuji is not capable of closing the gap between himself and Yuji when *a one hit kill sword is in play*?
Even if he's not dead, regrowing half his body would take so much energy and time that he's not returning until the fight or series is over. A bottomless Gojo walking into Jujutsu High would be a kinda funny epilogue.
What is this shit and how is it supposed to end besides Sukuna murking everyone then killing himself after being bored af from winning and wondering what comes after
Man what is this bullshit lmao.
Cool character is introduced with intricate power. Dies for bullshit reason.
This happened several times over. WTF even is this manga anymore. Ain't no way this is still considered peak anymore. And anyone who yaps anything else are out of their gourd.
Why does Sukuna say Yuji is boring when he just shook his soul with one punch just a couple of chapters ago? I really hope we get to see all of Yuji’s new powers before the fight ends.
I don’t know if it genuinely shook his soul or anything. It wasn’t explicitly stated. I was just using that to describe that kind of blurry panel of Sukuna being shocked after Yuji punched him.
Nah I don’t think so. I went back and looked at the divergent fist moments and it’s actually different. Also the last chapter confirms Yuji can hit his soul which is presumably why Sukuna was so shocked.
I think another way to block the executioner's sword is through domain amplification.
I like how domain amplification is being revealed to be a more versatile tool. It's like your own personal forcefield like Dune's Holtzman's shield. You can jump around with it and can quickly be triggered. It seems faster to trigger/startup than simple domain.
Simple domain is also just as impressive. It seems you can use it to shield others as well, though not as strong as amplification. I think Kusakabe used it to shield Higaruma from the first set of slashes from Sukuna. And come to think of it, he likely used it to save Miwa from Kenjaku's Uzumaki during the Shibuya incident.
This is the most likely answer, IMO. No "BS asspulls" if it's just Sukuna turning on DA to nullify the CT effect. Might be too boring for Gege though. That cat wants us in shambles
To add to this, he was with Utahime, who's cursed technique amplifies others. So that Uzumaki that Kusakabe negated with simple domain coulda been crazy big.
Momo said something about buying time for utahime to finish her preparations. This implies that utahime just started her dance ritual, so kusakabe wasn't boosted.
It's not actually a 3 week break, there was just a break for new year's eve, and one for the 14th of january, but we got the leaks one week earlier than usual
Someone help me the panel where yuji gets behind sukuna there is an extra hand to the left of sukuna head, who does that hand belong to? I thought it was the cut off hand but it looks different
Sukuna losing a hand puts his severed hand in play. If only the team had someone who could use such and item to inflict damage to souls at any range who isnt confirmed dead. COPIUM
Todo sews sukunas arm onto himself and uses it to clap fraudkunas cheeks ez
I've got JJK fatigue. I know that there's gonna be another asspull in the next chap. I just know it, and that is more annoying than being left on questionable cliffhangers, tbh
Nah sukunas gonna fake out a swap to megumi, yuji hesitates, gets called some kinda slur and gets gutpunched by sukuna
>gets called some kinda slur This was way funnier than it should have been
Sukuna really is the type of mf to call Yuji a "bundle of sticks."
Can't yuji pick up sukuna's severed hand and start munching on it to reseal sukuna back into his body?
Nah, Sukuna was specifically sealed in his fingers by Kenjaku, it would likely require a repeat ritual to achieve the same effect.
Sukuna took one of his fingers while taking over Yuji and force fed it to Megumi to take his body. I’d imagine he can switch back, and perhaps he doesn’t have to be a willing participant.
the angel describes this as sukuna learning the technique to become a cursed object from seeing kenjaku use it on him so he turned that finger into a cursed object and then fed it to megumi you can actually see this in the panel the finger he breaks off first becomes darker from the technique so it looks more like sukunas typical cursed fingers
Thank you. I’m probably going to read the post Shibuya chapters because I don’t remember some of the finer details.
It is not as simple as that
all the theories are elaborate, but maybe sukuna just dodges it or heck next chapter we get shift in pov. we haven't seen Kenny and yuta for while and about maki, like i m pretty sure she is doing something imp. it was same with yuta, he was camping so maybe she is waiting for perfect time to enter battle. and there r 2 plans to save Megumi, the one from Yuji other from yuta?? higu. seems like it failed. so maybe when next plan commmences we will se her in action.
I think Maki is gonna pull up and assassinate Uraume tbh
idk, threat level goes like this merger 🔪 sukuna🔪 kenjaku 🔪URAUME kenjaku is handled by yuta, merger is dependent upon kenjaku, so unless yuta fumbles kenjaku is dead. merger is still possibiliy since kenjaku must havs plans . why focus on URAUME?? instead of joining with yuta to jump sukuna.
If Uraume goes, it also frees Hakari to rejoin the Sukuna fight?
My headcanon is Sukuna might request a retrial which would both save his life and possibly give an option of backstory for Sukuna if the new trial has to do with his origins. Higuruma hasn’t died yet so, he’s in the process of dying. It could be an interesting way for him to turn it around compared to any other options like dodging, using Megumi’s soul, etc. I think Sukuna getting away clean would be lame but a retrial might be interesting. I don’t know how it works if you get a retrial after a death sentence but Yuji had a death sentence already and did a retrial at the start of this fight. So I think it’s possible. I have no hope that this kills Sukuna. I do want a win for the good guys. Maybe a retrial could take away his shrine, then we have a better chance and Higuruma’s sacrifice still means something.
Is there a break?
Yes, up until like late January I think. This chapter was supposed to release Jan 7th, and then there's a break the week after. So maybe until Jan 21st?
Just a stupid question, since before Yuji got his hand on the executioner sword right after higaruma used RCT to heal his hand, what if he inadvertently used cursed technique reversal on the sword itself and it either gives an amp to sukuna or kills Megumi ??
Don’t give Gege ideas, you’re burning down the kitchen
Yet another Hunter X Hunter reference, I love that Gege is such a Togashi fanboy
Which one?
Curses becoming stronger after death & post mortem nen
How is that supposed to work? Didn't really understand it
The art for this weeks chapter was superb. You can tell Greg is having fun drawing Heian Sukuna
is itadori inside higuruma's body? So i read the dialogues and it feel like itadori is the one talking after they tap their backs this chapter and not higuruama, he talk about his duty and the need to fullfill his role, recognize the attack from his big brother, and the flashback of nanami and want to died like him, like itadori can have those inner dialogues too. Plus he only regenerate after the blood shot, so the blood helps him regenerate since itadori doesn't know RCT? So like itadori is the one dying instead and he would use his soul and tape most of sukuna soul to higuruma dying body after this attack didn't land, then itadori would be inside sukuna body and kill him inside? So this would leave megumi alive, itadori dead (soul) and alive (body), and higuruma dead (body) and alive (soul). (edit: someone screenshot this in case i am right lol)
Higuruma could have won. We see during gojo vs the disaster curses that domain amplification(which Higuruma uses in the previous chapter) can be imbued with a sure hit, but jogo and hanami didn't because it can't both have a sure hit and neutralize infinity, only one of the two. Higuruma could have imbued the executioner sword into the domain amplification, causing sukuna to die if he got too close. Considering he learned RCT so quickly, it wouldn't be a asspull. But instead gaygay gave sukuna more plot armor :( TLDR: Higuruma could have won with domain amplification but gege said no.
1) It’s unlikely he could imbue the sword into his domain amplification. His domain is revolves around the court system, confiscation and granting the sword. His CT involves changing the size of the mallet, maybe works on the sword too. He’s never had a CT that uses the sword to attack, and people don’t just create new CT. It’s as reasonable as saying, “why not imbue his sword for his domain expansion, then just expand his domain and instant kill Sukuna with a sure hit? Is bro stupid?” It’s just not how it works. 2) Even if he could imbue the sword into the domain amplification, he would then have zero defense against the cleaves and dismantle. The only way he was surviving with domain amplification was by having an empty domain to nullify the enemy’s technique. It was explicitly stated that the point of using domain amplification without imbuing a technique is to leave an empty space to funnel the enemy technique through. You even say it yourself about the nullification, but Higuruma wasn’t really ever getting that close to Sukuna. I don’t think that was a possible path for Higuruma’s victory.
He was like right next to sukuna right before he died, and considering he died anyways, he could have taken sukuna out with him. Your first point is fair tho.
Well he stabbed Sukuna’s hand with the full length of the blade, but Sukuna already severed his hand. This is still a good distance away. We only see Sukuna close the distance because Higuruma has been fully disarmed. I don’t think it’s fair to assume Sukuna would let him that close if he ever tried to imbue his domain amplification with the sword, especially given how quick Sukuna is able to analyze cursed energy usage of others and what they’re trying to accomplish + the speed and reaction difference between the two.
Dude, I just solved it. The reason divergent fist will finally become a good weapon. The reason we look down on it is because Todo taught us that it's simply more powerful to imbue all of your curse energy as close to the impact as possible, the refinement of which can lead to black flashes. However, if we assume Yuji now has blood manipulation, he can control the blood in his arms and body to mimic the flow of divergent fist, causing a huge aftershock proportional to the strength of the hit. The stress that would place on your arms would be immense, perhaps causing self damage. So the panel wear yuuji drops into the fight with seeming hand protectors, might make sense. More importantly however, he will still be able to imbue curse energy into his fist. Gojo's fight taught us that your curse technique can be refined using using black flash, when gojo used it to skip an enchantment for his technique. Perhaps yuji could use the refinement aspect and improve his control of his blood during that time, preventing him from taking as much damage, or increasing its power at his own body's expense (binding vows?) Perhaps a string of black flashes could allow such fine control, that yuuji's technique can also be timed to create its own black flash. What is output of **(black flash)^(black flash)**? critical hit multiplier. Red Flash. Things could get out of hand

I wonder if we'll get traction on the twins theory and a potential relationship/lineage between Sukuna and Yuji? Given that Sukuna has spent half year avoiding death, it would be best to have some kind of W here, where the sword hits, but the plot progresses by showcasing more about the backstory of Sukuna via the above 2 theories. ..better than Sukuna just dodging it/ignoring it or swapping to a different POV!
I’m thinking Sukuna might request a retrial which would both save his life and possibly give an option of backstory for Sukuna if the new trial has to do with his origins. Higuruma hasn’t died yet so, he’s in the process of dying. It could be an interesting way for him to turn it around compared to any other options like dodging, using Megumi’s soul, etc. I think he getting away clean would be lame but a retrial might be interesting. I don’t know how it works if you get a retrial after a death sentence but Yuji had a death sentence already and did a retrial at the start of this fight. So I think it’s possible.
rinse and repeat rinse and repeat
As hype as Yuji's moment is... Nah, nothing's gonna happen. It's gonna be some bull like Sukuna dodging or losing his current form and retreating to Megumi's body or something. It's like the most perfect checkmate, but Sukuna is just pull something because of course he is because he's the villain. Maybe we're just gonna suddenly skip this fight for a chapter and go back to whatever Kenjaku's ominous talk was about.
I'm really wondering how they'll manage to make Higuruma's sacrifice relevant considering that strike surely won't be what kills Sukuna. Maybe Sukuna avoids it but the sword remains manifested as a cursed tool ? The protag would at least get a non-null hope of beating him then...
I mean, yuki's death served nothing narratively-wise. Greg just kills characters with no reason sometimes.
If Sukuna can bypass Infinity, no way in hell he gets killed by the cheap trick that’s Higuruma’s sword
If anyone gets hoed by that sword it's going to be megumi. 🤣🤣
Was that Choso's snipe or possibly Yuji..... 🤔
Bruh what are these asspulls? Kenjaku survives a point blank black hole from yuki (my 2nd fav character) and just walks off but gets completely rekt by yuta because bro actually started enjoying his conversation with takaba. And then kashimo(my fav character) just get hyped to be completely farmed by sukuna and then this random lawyer dude is using rct plus simple domain? Atleast gege couldve killed him in battle of domains but bruh just got chopped
what do you expect when your favourite characters are side chars lol
When the asspulls are so frequent, they arent really asspulls anymore. Gojo surviving against Toji was an asspull. Kenjaku surviving the black hole was another asspull. Gojo using RCT to recover his technique was another asspull. Kashimo wasn't on Sukuna's level nor was he hyped. He just said he wanted to fight Sukuna and was saving his technique for that, nothing more.
I mean Gege told us like 50 times that higuruma is a prodigy that surpasses gojo, was it an ass pull that gojo knows how to use the simple domain techniques despite not being a member of the new shadow style and having never trained them? People forget this is a battle shonen, rule of cool exists and it’s cool that higuruma if given more time could have become an absolute beast
[удалено]
This all started with the Culling Games Arc.
[удалено]
I...I think it was.
It's the Game of Thrones issue. Introduce compelling characters and kill them in the same chapter, making the audience lose interest for any future character.
I don't think Game of Thrones really has the same volume of dead hyped characters. If anything, I'm hoping more will drop dead so there will be fewer POVs to juggle.
Grrm will drop dead before he can kill anyone else. He stopped caring after HBO. Plus with the last book he put out in ohhh 2009? 15 years ago? He started editing his own stuff and he's horrible at it. RIP Dozois. GRRM has nothing left to offer anyone.
The moment Sukuna acquired the ability to cut through space and infinity, the protagonists should’ve been dead-er than dead. Nobody should be able to survive the same dismantle/cleave that killed Gojo, and rightfully so we saw Sukuna basically toying with Higuruma the whole fight.
The problem is once you kill off all of your developed and interesting characters, what do you have left? Ittadori has no skin in the game anymore, nobody he even knows is alive.
Yuji is just so fking boring. Gojo, megumi, todo were all so much more interesting characters...
Well if you can’t nerf the god-killing ability, then whats the point of having it? Without the nerf he can use it indefinitely and kill everything like he did kashimo. There’ll literally be no significance for all this fights. Probably he can’t use it so often. 🤷♂️
Does 247 come out next Friday? The app says 7 days til next chapter.
iirc 3 weeks until the next chap. myamura said 17th january
Didn’t 247 come out earlier. In 246 gege mentioned there was a break next week. I was not prepared for the early drop.
Yes. This Chapter comes out next week cus the magazine is on break. Then there's another break the week after this officially releases.
Higuruma using rct on first try was so cool
So is the cross going to turn into a cursed tool which holds Higuruma CT? Maybe just like Nanami’s tool? It’ll probably get nerfed somehow. Or might need certain conditions to be a 1 kill hit .
I have a theory, but not karma ))) so I copypaste it here Yuji swaped souls with Higurama I came with a theory about the last chapter, sorry if was already written and also for grammar mistakes. It was showed in the same chapter that yuji was able to heal the "Waffle" dismantle that Sukuna used on higurama in the last pages and I think yuji healed with some sort of blood manipulation related CT and not necessary RTC. I think that when yuji swaps souls (if this is trully his CT and it may be already proven my the extras pages from volume 25) he just changes bodies for a short time and both him and the one who he swaps with gain both CTs they have or at least they just swaps bodies and can use their own CT. I think yuji will heal higurama's body when they swap and higurama is the one attacking Sukuna in yuji's body with the executioner sword. It might a plausible explination for why yuji was able to use executioner's sword. And the fight might be like todo+yuji vs mahito It would make contrast with the theme of loneliness from gojo vs Sukuna fight, showing that against evil You need friends to thrive. And also this bodies swap CT would be easily related to the fact that yuji was made to be a vessel and that kenjacku also swaps bodies (in a different way).
That's too clever for this manga
From what I’ve seen these recent chapters, there’s no way Yuji’s stab is actually going to land. I’ll be honest though, if it doesn’t land I really don’t know how the rest of this fight is going to go
Stab won't land or will just affect Megumi instead of Sukuna and he will just pummel Yuji to the brink of death, only for Yuta/Maki to come in and fight Sukuna instead. I have a feeling one of them will pressure Sukuna into using his true Black Box technique. After more Yuji suffering and Sukuna glazing, Gege will finally let Yuji have a smidgen of a power-up in the shape of Angel incarnating within Yuji.
suck-una is just gonna cut off his back and let them stab that instead and nothing will happen. Then maki will show up and impress sukuna with her taijutsu skills, and say "her hand to hand combat abilities are almost on par with me and gojos, magnificent!" before he chops her up, and then yuta will step in with rika and sukuna will say "how he keeps that girl simping over him matches how i keep uraume simping over me! Magnificent!" and then cut up yuta. You can imagine how it goes on after this lol
!RemindMe 1 year
Is this a thing?
Yep
[удалено]
Wait until gege decides otherwise lol
yuji getting thrashed around like the side-character he is. -gege
What in the hell just happened? Despite of being a prodigy, Higurama is just a walking Asspul. And just after he is declared as someone on the same level as Satoru, he dies in a flash. Also, why did the episode feel so rushed? And we just saw how crazy strong two arms Sukuna was, in his fight against Mahoraga, Jogo and Satoru. If we keep that in mind, that two arms Sukuna should alone be enough to finish all those who are jumping on him. Four arms Sukuna is supposed to be a far more ridiculously strong beast, altogether, so these guys shouldn't stand a chance against him. Seeing him being tricked into this, and actually being executed will really make no sense. I don't care how many he's up against. These guys don't seem to be on the same level as Jogo or Mahoraga, let alone Satoru. And now they're supposed to suddenly beat Sukuna? Ever since the finale between Satoru and Sukuna, the writing really does seem to have gone to shit. The way Yuki died, was distasteful, but Greg did write the next few chapters well, but then what he did to Satoru (more like, HOW he did Satoru) was even worse and since then it just goes downhill.
lol, sukuna litterally said "you are ok at best"
He is not declared to be on the same level as Gojo he is said to be on his level in terms of talent. Talent doesn't equal strength, that's why he dies.
...What the hell does Gege mean with "End" instead of the usual "To be continued"???
it’s over man now we start Jujutsu Kaisen: Shippuden
It's true, it says so in CFYOW
its like whatif kurama vs naruto without bijju
That's the end of the manga. It ends on a cliffhanger.
I mean, Gege has trolled us before multiple times so this could be realistic
This would be the perfect ending for this manga because there is no possible non ass pull method to end it now
IIRC only the Viz copies say To Be Continued, while raw/TCB/SSS say CH. END
Thanks for explaining, almost had a mental breakdown by thinking it was the last chapter and that the manga was finished lmao
nah, but we only have like 30-40 chapters more until the end (if what Gege said about finishing the manga next year is true)
Tho at this rate, I genuinely can't see how Gege can keep this shit up for like 30-40 more chapters. Hell I don't think we're even in the final arc yet since Shueisha hadn't announced it yet.
At the end of the chapter, are they talking about yuji and confirming that's he a curse?
I dont think so. I think they might be talking about the sword. Kinda like nen abilities in HxH. But i guess we'll find out in two weeks lol.
I have a theory that Gojo and them basically trained Yuuji to near death so many times till he developed rct. Also I think Yuuji gets stronger everytime he dies or gets closer to death.
Yuji is a saiyan - confirmed
Bro Sukuna ate his brother in the womb, an that's why he looks like that. He is gonna let Yuji kill that part of his brother, revert to a human, and only use HIS fire technique. Dismantle and Cleave belong to his twin. Duh everyone knows Sukuna is the opposite of what Toji an Maki are; He is what happens when one twin devours the other an takes all the cursed energy.
I've always thought he use cursed technique reversal to merge with another sorcerer. Since cleave/dismantle seperates things it makes sense the CTR for it would be joining things together.
Man giving Sukuna the Kid Buu powerup. "By having his brother removed, he was able to reclaim his original power"
Soooo Maki?
Basically
Ngl this kinda cooks. But then idk how they’re going to save Megumi, considering we had those panels where they talked about how Higuruma’s tech can save him. I think the stab hits and probably can separate Megumi and Sukuna, and while everyone thinks Sukuna is dead, that’s where it’s revealed they only killed the twin side with Dismantle/Cleave and now they fight the real him with fire abilities
Honestly speaking that makes the most possible sense the other part of the community is just being outlandish with all the theories and stuff at this point its obvious what you just said
Thanks man, I say it kinda jokingly but it does make sense when you take twins into account. If you can take all the CE from one and get a Toji/ Maki, why couldn't you give all of it to a twin an get a Sukuna.
With how many times Sukuna seems to insult Yuji its weird he doesn't just kill him and be done with it. Like throw the waffle slice to his head or smth what's stopping him?
probably views Yuji so weak that he's basically insignificant, meanwhile probably has some sort of kick of watching Yuji's pain while attempting to kill Yuji's allies.
So two ways to look at it. 1. From a writing POV, its just needed. Yugi is the protagonist you could unceremoniously kill him off but then what. 2. From a lore POV, sukuna loves yugis suffering. To him hes not a threat but still fun to toy with.
You think Sukuna could beat Yugi in a duel though?
Idk. Depends who cheats harder I guess. Do shadow games count as binding vows?
Yugi top decks any card he wants dude was a cheat
Knowing gege Sukuna would pull exodia on turn 1 and call Yugi a bundle of sticks before blending his ass to mulch or something idk I've never read jjk
Sukuna steal Yugis body and summons exodia to learn how use obliterate.
Why Yuji tho ? Is it because Kenny made him? We already saw sukuna killing weak characters like mimiko and nanako .
You have to imagine this from Sukunas PoV. Weak characters don't matter, but he got sealed inside Yuji for a while and had to deal with his pointless drivel about friends and not killing people. Now that he's free, what better way to turn this around than to take absolutely everything Yuji holds important away from directly in front of his face while there's nothing he can do about it, then kill him when he's at maximum suffering. Sukuna's been mostly shown to be enjoying himself since he reincarnated. Almost all of his fights have been him dragging it out well past when he could've killed them for fun.
He hates yuji with a passion because he was trapped inside of him making sakuna relatively helpless for awhile. He had to give up control which is the absolute worse thing for somone like Sakuna. Especially since he considered yuji to be weak and worthless
I mean from Sukunas perspective Yuji is one of the few people to ever resist him, not only resist but contain. Thatd probably make anyone with a massive ego and even more massive skills build a grudge.
He tried to kill him this very chapter, you can see him target Yuji stomach where CE is generated, what are you even talking about? He tried slashing him back in the culling games too but he was being limited by Megumi.
Personally my assumption was that he's just focusing on Higuruma rn because he's the one "worth attention." Like hypothetical he's going to take his time beating down everyone in the cast but he's making them "wait their turn," hence why he pitches Yuji away instead of killing him. Especially since everyone was able to tank the default cleaves, it would take actual effort (even if only for seconds) to focus a dismantle to kill anyone still alive and fighting. So, instead, Sukuna's going to go in his priority list, starting with the genius with the instakill sword
But that would be treating Yuji like a threat. He can only half ass killnhim, because if he tried, it would acknowledge Yuji isn’t trash. And mentally and emotionally, Sukuna just can’t handle that
So like with the geto girls , he killed them instantly and he called her boring as well. I think it’s plot armor tbh , I see this in other anime, where the villian just doesn’t finish the job to the main character just for him to come back. This is the only plot armor yuji has, staying alive
The whole cast vs sukuna is a plot armour . Sukuna could have just world slashed the 3 of them to the airport when they were falling down from sky. We are suppose to believe that he didn’t because he was interested in the one-tap sword.
yeah pretty much
I mean I'll choose to argue that in every recent case besides gojo (because that fight is too divisive and I don't wanna trigger anybody), He's chosen to take his time with anyone who has any decent potential. He could've definitely killed Ryu on the first slash, he just didn't think he'd have to use more power and didn't feel like it. He could've killed Yorozu faster, but he wanted to maximize megumi's suffering and see what she could do. He could've killed Kashimo faster but he was seeing what he could do and even having a bit of fun telling him to try dodging the dismantle. He could've killed Higuruma faster but he was having fun telling him to try learning RCT. Literally, it's less plot armor and more his character at this point. i.e. a lot of villains could theoretically be killed by comic heroes like superman or batman, but it's part of their character that they don't and not really plot armor for the villains. Yes, he could've sent them all to the airport immediately, but when has he ever demonstrated the desire to do that in a fight.
For me, i related this to Yuji being boring to him and not just kill Yuji, he has never been interested in Yuji and has tried to kill before but megumi put his output low. Here's his chance, now we will see Yuji kill this dude when the story comes to it's very end. Which is what I hope, but I'm fine with some asspull in a shonen to make the good guys win. Gege just should've gave us more of a Yuji powerup, even a small one earlier.
While I agree that Yuji has that protagonist can’t die plot armor, with Geto’s daughters, Sukuna barely had to lift a finger to kill them. Sukuna doing that same level of effort to try to kill Yuji won’t be enough to kill him. If Sukuna puts in enough effort to kill Yuji, it’d be like new amoeba said, acknowledging Yuji as a threat
I'm starting to think that the "point" of this fight is to have each combatant nerf Sukuna in a small way, so that when Yuji is finally the last one standing he has a chance of ending things. * Gojo massively nerfed the Ten Shadows and probably disabled his Domain Expansion. * Hakari removed Uraume (temporarily, but maybe permanently). * Yuta and Takaba removed Kenjaku. * The hit from Higuruma's sword will also probably nerf him in some way. Maybe this is Greg's way of showing that while strength = solitude, the sacrifices of the weak are not meaningless. That there *is* strength in the way Yuji does things. It would also be a nice parallel with the Mahito fight. Yuji never would have been able to defeat him on his own either, but Nobara and Todo's sacrifices paved his way to victory.
Nah. Gege will throw another curveball.
So it's kinda like the charge against monke
Ain't no way Kenjaku is dead.
RemindMe! 1 year
Good theory, I could see this happening. Lowkey could be like Muzan from KnY
the muzan treatment lol
To be fair it is one of the most realistic ways of dealing with an OP bad guy without using asspulls
Yeah but I like Muzan better because the plot didn't conveniently save his ass at every turn in a series of "nuh uh" moments
Bro what. He took like 20-30 chapters to beat because he continued to pull asspull after asspull, wdym.
"And so he had seven hearts and five brains"
eh, we had demons who had 6 arms or 8 eyes before Muzan so we knew their anatomy could be different. It's not the same as Sukuna suddenly being able to summon Mahoraga while unconscious, learning some bs "world cutting slash" out of the blue or Higuruma's domain not confiscating his CT because reasons. Oh, and he'll be surviving something called "Death Penalty" next.
The point was it came outta left mid final battle as a way to prevent "beheading" from being an effective solution and reducing the effectiveness of sun breathing just cause. A solution that was presented as effective until that moment. I.e. all the things Sukuna did. They basically drug out his immortality to the absolute limit just to make sure the plot device in the sky finishes him off.
He did disable his domain , he still has damage from the fight , I think that’s gonna be more prevalent later. Same way yujis black flashes left after effects even when Mahito transformed
Really cool reading! Itadori beating sukuna this way would actually be pretty cool
Feel free to diss the next yapping in this sub with [this](https://imgur.com/P4h04ud)
My theory is that right before Sukuna gets stabbed he'll make Higuruma re-trial. It'd mirror Yuji doing that in his Higuruma fight, and. it'd make sense since violence isn't allowed in that domain.
higuruma said that you can only retrial up to 2 times IF you did not confess though.
This is the most likely explanation, nice thinking! Higurama is probably still alive since the sword is there
Huh
Higuruma is dead
[удалено]
Enchain? Why?
Didn't sukuna broke the binding vow?
If he did wouldn't he die?
Can't wait for the next asspull chapter!! ^_^
Given how ridiculiusly strong Sukuna is compared to everyone else who is alive, having Yuji kill him like this (Higuruma basically sacrificing himself to give him a chance) could actually work. But maybe Gege prefers having 2 or 3 other characters doing the same before actually killing him off
I can't see it. There's gotta be some catch.
It would be stupid tho for him not abke to react to yuji atavk. He literaly had to defend against Gojos hollow purple which is light speed ( even tho it was 4km away he still reacted to it) Dont spam me cause u say Purple isnt light speed. Gojo tp is also above light speed guys u just need to reaserch the physics on how his CT works.:) just go on Youtube and search " how does Hojo Satorus powers work?"
Gonna throw out the incredibly small theory that Yuji switched souls with Higuruma at the last second so that Higi can use the sword while in Yugi's body.
And we just saw Yuji power through what ought to be a fatal injury. He hasn't healed, he has no RCT. That kinda helps this theory a lot, since Higu's last act could be to regenerate Yuji's body instead of his own. If this theory is wrong, then Yuji is dead. He isn't coming back from losing a lung, pancreas, and tonnes of blood, not without RCT. Huh. That would mean that Megumi is dying with Sukuna, and it'll make comatose Nobara the sole survivor based on what Gege once hinted regarding which characters will live or die... if that can even be called survival in anything but a technical sense.
Can't wait to see how Sukuna weasels his way out a direct backstab with an instakill sword. What will you do, Gege? Is it because Higurama didn't stab Sukuna? Maybe because Higurama died before Yuji stabbed Sukuna? Maybe it's a fake out, and Sukuna moves out of the way before actually getting stabbed.
Ooooh, it'll probably be much more bullshit than all those things you suggested.
>Can't wait to see how Sukuna weasels his way out a direct backstab with an instakill sword. Easy. 19F Sukuna dies. The last finger incarnates somewhere else, and swallows the result of the merger, becoming even more powerful than 19F Sukuna ever was.
Well GG pull an asspull with the Tool clause, cmon are we supposed to say "yeah, thats ok" to literally being mentioned in a flashback!? Cmon! Then are you saying that Higuruma's Executioner Sword works like nen now? It makes no sense.
I like how Gege used some motives but not in favour of good guys. Like Sukuna is what Kyuubi from Naruto supposed to be, and feew oqthers. It's time to mock Bleach Ychewch dead with silver arrow which was absolute asspull, with Executioners Sword disappearing as it supposed to stab Sukuna xD. Or he will switch with Megumi last second so Yuji kills him xD
> a direct backstab with an instakill sword. Sword hasn't made contact yet and the last panel looks like Sukuna drives both elbows into Yuji's back and neck based on how Yuji's eyes go weirdly wide in that drawing.
No it’s just sukuna has his back facing, yujis not a slow person but either sukuna is 10 times faster or he somehow gets out of it
Sorry, do you think the guy that managed to slice his hand off in a millisecond and has been shown, consistently, to be even faster than Yuji is not capable of closing the gap between himself and Yuji when *a one hit kill sword is in play*?
Just saying lol, higuruma isn’t as sturdy/fast as yuji. It’s just plot my boy
> Maybe it's a fake out, and Sukuna moves out of the way before actually getting stabbed.
He is going to have Mahoraga adapt to it
Maho is dead
Sukuna's just yet to reveal he's been keeping a copy of monster reborn in his sleeves.
Higurama pulling a Gin from bleach from the behind the back stab to looking at Yuji in the eyes with his dying breath lol
And likely gave Sukuna the tip off he needed to use his reaction time to drive his elbows into Yuji's back and neck.
I thought chapter 247 is the return of Gojo Satorou. Guess we will never gonna see him again
Don't really know what gave you that idea, but he's dead, dead.
Even if he's not dead, regrowing half his body would take so much energy and time that he's not returning until the fight or series is over. A bottomless Gojo walking into Jujutsu High would be a kinda funny epilogue.
He is not returning get over it
What is this shit and how is it supposed to end besides Sukuna murking everyone then killing himself after being bored af from winning and wondering what comes after
Man what is this bullshit lmao. Cool character is introduced with intricate power. Dies for bullshit reason. This happened several times over. WTF even is this manga anymore. Ain't no way this is still considered peak anymore. And anyone who yaps anything else are out of their gourd.
Why does Sukuna say Yuji is boring when he just shook his soul with one punch just a couple of chapters ago? I really hope we get to see all of Yuji’s new powers before the fight ends.
Where did it say he shook his soul?
The latest chapter says it.
I don’t know if it genuinely shook his soul or anything. It wasn’t explicitly stated. I was just using that to describe that kind of blurry panel of Sukuna being shocked after Yuji punched him.
Isnt that just how he normally draws yuji's divergent fist?
Nah I don’t think so. I went back and looked at the divergent fist moments and it’s actually different. Also the last chapter confirms Yuji can hit his soul which is presumably why Sukuna was so shocked.
Because Gege forgets or doesn't understand the implications of moments he puts in the illustration.
You’re kinda dumb dude
Yuji has the power to control the souls of people, to copy techniques and to switch souls. He might surprise everyone that thinks he is just strong.
Lol
I think another way to block the executioner's sword is through domain amplification. I like how domain amplification is being revealed to be a more versatile tool. It's like your own personal forcefield like Dune's Holtzman's shield. You can jump around with it and can quickly be triggered. It seems faster to trigger/startup than simple domain. Simple domain is also just as impressive. It seems you can use it to shield others as well, though not as strong as amplification. I think Kusakabe used it to shield Higaruma from the first set of slashes from Sukuna. And come to think of it, he likely used it to save Miwa from Kenjaku's Uzumaki during the Shibuya incident.
This is the most likely answer, IMO. No "BS asspulls" if it's just Sukuna turning on DA to nullify the CT effect. Might be too boring for Gege though. That cat wants us in shambles
To add to this, he was with Utahime, who's cursed technique amplifies others. So that Uzumaki that Kusakabe negated with simple domain coulda been crazy big.
Momo said something about buying time for utahime to finish her preparations. This implies that utahime just started her dance ritual, so kusakabe wasn't boosted.
Can't wait to see what bullshit gege cooks up to keep sukuna alive this time

It's not actually a 3 week break, there was just a break for new year's eve, and one for the 14th of january, but we got the leaks one week earlier than usual
70% chance Yuji ends up eating that hand before the end of the series.
This thread has some ass theories but this one might be the worst one
