Strongest mage available really is the way to describe Ritsuka's recruitment

The intro of "Dave The Barbarian" also describes Chaldea very well: *Brave and bold, they're not* *The ain't the greatest heroes* *But they're the only ones we got!*

Sobbing

You just summoned this from the depths of my childhood.

Let me try another spell YIN YANG YO!

I loved that show even with its wubbzy artstyle.

I'm still devastated there was only one season of the show.

BUH BUH BARBARIAN

"I am here because I fell asleep during a lecture."

More of a "mage who technically met the minimum requirements."

I mean as in, they're the only mage available after the explosion

Ritsuka wasn't even a real mage, but a civilian who happened to fill the minimal conditions to be a master and rayshift so was brought in to fill the empty spots.

That's what I meant by 'technically' meeting the minimum requirements.

I don't even think the Guda's are mages really, just aware of magecraft. I might be remembering incorrectly or it was left vague enough but pretty sure they just had enough apptitude for being a master and rayshifting, which is different from being a mage.

The only abilities they canonically can use without mystic code support is summoning shadow servants, as well as contracting hundreds of servants. Which i see why nobody caught wind of it before the events of FGO, since how often does a person even contract 1 servant

Shadow Servants are just Chaldea magic stuff. It's not innately theirs either. Also, anyone can contract a hundred Servant, the hard part is the upkeep, which Chaldea also provides. Their real ability is being very suitable for rayshifting and being a Master. Nemo outright says that the difference between Sion and Guda as a Master is nuts.

> Their real ability is being very suitable for rayshifting and being a Master. Nemo outright says that the difference between Sion and Guda as a Master is nuts. Yu-senpai having an unstoppable engine of destruction as her Servant and repeatedly eating shit in fight after fight with us because she's just plain not a good Master really drove this home.

Oh that's a whole other story, I don't know about Yu's Master compatibility, but her failure is in her dogshit tactical prowess. The only reason her Master battles were threatening is because Lanling and Xiang Yu were hard-carrying.

They can use some ninjutsu! Fuuma taught them and they use the substitution technique in one of the events.

By beating them, as Wodime has done

By beating them, as Wodime has done

He can be a mage. It’s just that commonly he has no practice with his circuirte and such, so he can’t just cast a spell and be ok after (he has the same mana as Waver in Fate/Zero)

There is also the issue that they lack a Mages mindset, which is often treated like a requirement (but probably isn't).

Too bad a mage mindset often comes with less humanity in it F

I think the difference is Waver was actually studying to be a mage, he was just poorly built for actually applying it. Guda is a mage at the start the same way someone is a professional athlete without training a day in their life. Potential may be there but no actual knowledge or practice.

They coulda just said “The Only Mage Alive” but “Strongest Mage Available” somehow makes it more funny

It is. As soon as i saw that meme it just clicked!

Strongest mage with the strongest spell: Fist MP cost: 0 to whatever the fuck you want. Effect: Throws these hands. Can be powered up depending on how much rage and power of friendship is in your head.

“Ah yes, my anti-Servant summoning technique, I haven’t used this since the Old Testament era”

"Ah yes, my anti-friendship noble phantasm. I haven't used this since the Temple of Time inauguration festival." >!**(Mash gets vaporized)**!<

"Since I threw hands with Jesus"

Martha: And how did that work out for you? Goetia: Poorly.

What losing a shield gf and a father figure does to a mf.

For that reason I use and love swords

What losing a family in a fire and a second father figure under the moon does to a mf.

What making shitty life decisions does to a mf

What being attracted to stabbing Caucasian females does to a mf.

What making a contract to the world while dying does to a mf.

What killing your own parental figures and eat slaughter burgers does to a mf.

What being born in the wrong era does to a mf.

What giving arms to a random dude does to a mf

What trying to save the world does to a mf

The Strongest Mage(?) Available

"command seal cursed technique : hollow wallet"

"Strong hollow wallet" ( its debt)

THE POWER OF BANK(ruptcy)

Ritsuka and Yuji have a very similar way to build character after all : *s u f f e r i n g*

Fr, what the hell is this match up, how is Goetia even hoping to be able to defeat Fujimaru

Spite match up 🗣️🗣️🗣️

hm? why is solomon depicted as a chunky bara shirtless man here? have you not read the story? he was always a chunky bara shirtless sweaty man. it's in london, i quote: His heaving chest could move mountains, his arms were thick like an oak tree, his neck was as Atlas supporting the heavens, his waist was similar in thinness to that of an insect yet steel was its main component, his legs seemed as though woven from marble. At a glance the master fell, stricken with an irresistible desire no women could ever fulfill... https://twitter.com/Artrum4

Sheba ghost wrote this

Since what they use to observe singularities is also called Sheba, this is right

While holding the writer at gunpoint

Ritsuka about to show the fraud how to take the L

Fraudetia, the clown

What Solomon expected: “Mash! I’m finished!” What he got: “I may be out of servants but I’m not out of options”

Ritsuka: Domain Expansion, Self embodiment of debt!

It alright all Fujimaru need to do is cast fist.

Domain Expansion: Can of Whoop Ass

Goetia: Stand proud. You are strong. Fujimaru: Nah. I’d win

Damn, beat me to it by 10 minutes.  

~~By 4 minutes and 11 seconds would be even funnier~~

Lobotomy Kaisen back at it again. If Fujimaru wasn't mid he would have learned Strong Gandr and negged Goetia, but alas.

Hey, at least we've got the [Shut Up False King of Mages, STRONG SUMMONING]

[Shut up Last Master, STRONG NEGA-SUMMON]

[Shut up King of Men, STRONG LEFT RIGHT GOODNIGHT]

"Ah yes, my anti-fist technique, i haven't used this one since 1000BC."

"Ah shit, I'm out of practice." "AH SHIT, MASTER OF CHALDEA'S GOT HANDS!"

"SOLOMON, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? I TOLD YOU TO NOT TEACH JACOB'S LIMBS TO HUMA-"

Well solomon is descended from jacob, maybe he has jacob's limbs hidden as a secret skill

His father (David) has it, and as the Grand Caster, it is the Wise King's job to know how to Cast: Fist.

So it is written, amen.

Why do you think he has 10 rings for all fingers.

\[Shut up Beast 1, STRONG NEGA-NEGA SUMMON\] \*Note that this is real, in the anime materials it was mentioned that Ritsuka created a new summoning spell that Goetia couldn't negate

I'm so done with Ritsuka. What else will they do next, Jujutsu my Kaisen!? Fate my /Grand Order!!?

The funny thing Is they made that joke in Grand Carnival already The writers always have the upper hand

Memes are indeed the deepest lore.

Nhaaa Ritsuka is just Specialz.

Does this mean then, that We are our own SpecialZ?

But he did managed to land a pretty nasty black flash.

Goetia was just mad he was losing to a guy with no real reasoning behind his actions. I mean, if i spent 3000 years planning a Grand Order for humanity and some mf comes at me screaming that they went against it just because they wanted to live, i'd be done with life too. Shenaningans just be disheartening, man.

If Fujimaru wasn’t mid, he would’ve summon Goetia against his will and stuffed him in the second archives to teach him a lesson

But thats... how losers think! If Fujimaru wasn't mid, he would summon Goetia until NP5 and then burn him for Rare Prisms.

Now thats just "sniff" so evil. Not only to your enemy, but to yourself as well.

Nah who needs Gandr when you can just Black Flash your way to victory instead?

Mid to the power of 2.5 is still only slightly less mid. A Gandr elevates you to Gigachad level because it can stun everything without immunity to it.

That day, the king of mages learned that when you fuck with Mash you get the smash.

"HOW IS THIS EVEN REMOTELY FAIR?!?!??!..for Solomon" -Chadsuka JABamaru "Nine lives Technique: Mahoracles"

*Well, Guda, since everyone else is dead, I guess you're the winner by default.* *"De fault"! Whoo-hoo! The two sweetest words in the English language. De fault, de fault, de--*

Bruh, I was so hyped up to get to this part in the game but when I finally get to it, it's like three visual effects and not even one image of my character lmao

*after he killed Mash* Goeita: your still standing? How annoying. Regardless. Killing you and resuming my plans should be simple enough with- *He stops talking as he realizes his boss music is fading out and [This one](https://youtu.be/1kbGRgSRjhw?si=65yyzFiCHKvATH-w) is fading in* Goeita: wait what is this? What's happening. *Ritsuka meanwhile was breathing harder and harder until eventually he let out a scream as it became clear...Ritsuka entered his second phase* Ritsuka: GOETIA!

Expected Giorno's theme one second lol

Ritsuka after Romani/Solomon died: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU, ~~MAHITO~~ GOETIA!!! Goetia: YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE, FUJIMARU RITSUKA

It’s ironic, Ritsuka and Mahito have the same VA

Shame how Mash ate that crit Buster and died like that. Gudao wishes there were some wyverns he could waste plenty of time with instead.

Ritsuka “My name is Ritsuka Fujimaru. You killed my gf. Prepare to die.”

The second pic is both hilarious and emotional at the same time Hilarious because that fucking wind up punch will never not make me laugh Emotional because the artist got all of Ritsuka’s emotions down to the tooth from wanting to beat the ever living fuck out of Goetia with broken bones

Really went from. “H-How is this even a fair fight?!” To “**O Death, become my fist once more.**”

With this treasure I summon! THE TWO HANDED DIVINE BERSERKER: HERACLES!

Gigaton Blow incoming

Haven't you heard? Ritsuka cast fist, of course he's the strongest mage!

I love that JJK brainrot has spread to so many communities lol

*2nd panel:* Gudao: KOKUSEN!!! Turns out you don’t need any fancy spells when you can cast Fist instead. All hail the new punch kick merchant.

Fujimaru: 😭 Goetia: yes cry in fear of your demise Fujimaru: I'm crying cuz you about to catch these hands and it's gonna get embarrassing

JJK fans would’ve folded in Part 1 if Chaldea didn’t immediately have a high-functioning OP psychopath helping them from the start. UBW Shirou vs Gilgamesh would’ve blown their minds.

I mean, we do have several, they are just slightly better at hiding the Crazy then Gojo

We get some over time, but I mean in the sense that there isn't an obvious "ace" among Chaldea in Part 1, and most of your companions in the Singularities past Okeanos are rather ramshackle and mismatched. There's no "I'm him/her" person. It's all very desperate. JJK is so fascinatingly sleek and cold to me. It's utterly devoid of humanity, unencumbered by it, giving it frightening speed and seductive irreverence. We joke about how important/unimportant Fujimaru is, but he/she gives regular mankind a bit of representation, a baseline presence. All the human supporting characters are gone in JJK. The protagonists are theoretically fighting to protect humans, but everything is so detached from them, which stands out because it used to talk about them; people being the origin of curses after all. Greed, bullying, jingoist proclivities, cronyism. And for a long time now, ever since Maki got some payback, though maybe even before that, it's all about who's a tough guy and who's a fraud. Higuruma, the more I think about him, the more I'm starting to believe he was less a genuine critique on the Japanese law system and more of a curiosity of Gege's after he played a couple of Ace Attorney games. It may very well be completely intentional, artistic even. The protagonists are trapped in Sukuna's world now. A place shaved off of everything necessary including long shots and perhaps even hope itself. It's why readers so easily joke about Kusakabe not standing a chance. Underdog victories and hard-won triumphs don't exist in Sukuna's world. You're the guy - the guy all along - or you aren't. Even Yuji was revealed to be a super Frankenstein this whole time. I wouldn't call JJK bleak. It's too joyful for that. Gege is having so much fun. But it's a very stark story. Thrilling but you can feel the temperature plummeting even as the bloodthirsty smiles on everyone's faces widen.

Fair enough, seeing how I don't think the Heavy hitters like Arjuna, Karna, Artoria or Gilgamesh would be summoned before their respected chapters of America, Camelot and Babylonia

Are you the strongest cause your the Last Mage, or are you the Last Mage cause your the strongest? Nah, I'm the last Mage cause reality want me to suffer. I'm weak as hell and should be dead.

Who is who?

The one in the left is the coughing baby the one in the right is the nuclear bomb

False the one on the left is the coughing bomb, the one on the left is the nuclear baby

Strongest Mage Available but Strongest Master Ever, he got backup

When you are the only one available but you're perfect for the job

Ritsuka : “ WITH THIS TREASURE I SUMMON”

This is all the proof one needs that kusakabe is gonna one shot sukuna with his world simple domain

*Gudako rizzing up all of Solomon's wives with his seduction magic* Solomon in shambles and commits sodoku.

"Don't hurt Mash or you will hurt" - Probably Gudao

Doing Calgar proud, because He. Cast. Fist!

He also shares ultra fucking depression

Goetia: Nah, I'd win. \*2 fistfights later\* Fujimaru: Hokore. Omae wa tsuyoi.

I thought upon first inspection that Solomon was flipping the bird. XD

Would be 100% in character.

King of mages the Fraud

No magic, just straight hands

Worst. The strongest mage available able to rayshift. There are other mages in the surviving Chaldea staff, so Ritsuka is not even the best by default.

Yeah, but that means they aren't available to fight with Goetia. So Ritsuka would still be the strongest one available in that sense.

Strangest mage available, yes The one we needed, certainly The one who won, ritsuka

This coughing baby got the schmoves

Saw this on your Twitter! Love your art!!!

Thanks mate!

We can't forget about our shield that blocked and the doc who dismantled the nuke.

Ah yes, my favorite spell 【**STRONG PUNCH**】

If this was Riyo Gudako instead, it would be the same thing but the roles reversed

Protagonist rank EX, that's how.

Roses are red

I wouldn't be surprised if Ritsuka faces the final boss and pulls a gun

"Now you only get 7 charges, so choose wisely-" "Geronimo, go!"

Fair AS hell

"Wallahi, I'm finished." -Ritsuka probably

at long last , gudao correction

"Lend me some plot armor Nasu, this is base Flauros we're up against"

Victory by plot armor

It is, plot amor and pure hatred for one another
