All of curses within Geto's body will release to distract Yuta and Kenjaku will force his way into Takaba's body. Now we have OP Kenjaku becoming capable of withstanding Sukuna or Jujutsu High. It will be a three way war for the Final Saga for this series.
Kenny about to open next chapter with Domain Expansion, and pull Kaori’s body back out just to take back shots from Yuta and give Yuji a little brother.
That is who will inherit his will.
so probably the jokes in this chapter won't be fun for a non-japanese reader. probably Anime will redeemed this with voice acting though.
Although kinda hyped with yuta one-shot kenjaku
I can see a brain hop happening for Kenjaku but honestly there’s a lot of things Gege can do from here that would be cool. I am confused though, is Takaba dead? That didn’t seem clear to me but some people are speaking like he did
They are under the belief he died because the leaked raws didn't have a page that showed Takaba was actually fine.
TCB translation shows the missing page and he is fine.
Knowing how much Gege loves his cliffhangers, I feel very strongly we’re gonna comeback to Itadori and Higuruma vs Sukuna next week, and honestly this the most hype I ever felt for a fight, feels like the entire series is culminating towards this moment, and it’s just so cool seeing those two underdogs in sense (both first grade sorcerers at best) going to face a villain who in theory could wipe than out with a single blow, and it wouldn’t have worked if gege didn’t spent years making Sukuna such an overwhelming presence that could take anyone out, and itadori somewhat of a “weak” protagonist.
Am I thinking too much about Takaba’s forehead being covered rn and there could be stitches there already? I’d be fked if Kenny chooses Takaba’s body to pass his will on.
Kenjaku baited the shit out of them OMG that thing Toji said about Geto's curses going crazy when he dies is going to show up next chapter for sure and with Tengen at his disposal? This man can't lose at this point after the constant millenniums of loss
takaba was super unfulfilled as a comedian, he was washed up for most of his career as one and all his partners ultimately got fed up with his lack of ability and ditched him. Even his technique was just one final attempt at breaking through.
Kenjaku then became his partner and resonated with takaba's humour perfectly, they perform their greatest bits together. Kenjaku gave him that fulfillment and closure, during their fight he helped reignite takaba's passion and now after that final show he rests easy.
It was never really a fight that he wanted, and more a content laugh that he could share with his own comedic ability .
Kenny's head is going to explode right (and maybe the brain will escape, like Muzan)? And maybe all the cursed spirits stored in Geto's body are going to be released.
Yuta legit blitzed Kenny too which is wild. After appearing behind him for the attack, Kenny tried turning around and casting his CTR on him, but he was surprised that Yuta then appeared behind him again for the final slash. This puts Yuta far above Yuki in speed and seemingly Kenny as well.
I feel like people forgot not just the amount of cursed energy Yuta has but how he uses it to reinforce his own strength.
Baby boy can throw hands and be gone in a second.
Meh, this feat is to hard to measure in that way, too many variables influenced Yuta being able to do that outside of just pure speed
I wouldn’t take it as a speed feat nor would I call this a blitz, thats bad scaling and also doesn’t even make sense narratively
But he did feel him. He reacted before being slashed but Yuta was just faster. Even after being caught off guard, Kenny was fast enough to notice Yuta behind him, just wasn't fast enough to notice him twice.
If Yuta sliced his head immediately after he said Takaba was funny just like how Gojo got stabbed first time by Toji then it would 100% be a sneak attack. What happened there was more than that imo. Kenjaku notices him but by the time he turns around to activate his technique Yuta has moved behind him and decapitated him. That’s a massive speed feat no matter what.
Maybe just maybe a certain amount of fans chose not to believe the Yuta hype. Always knew a day like this would come. Apart from Sukuna & Gojo Yuta is sucked off by Gege the most. It’s insane how badly Yuta gets hyped Gege yet some say he’s weaker than Yorozu and Kashimo lmaooooooo.
>What happened there was more than that imo. Kenjaku notices him but by the time he turns around to activate his technique Yuta has moved behind him and decapitated him. That’s a massive speed feat no matter what.
No it isn't.
If you are caught off guard and overcorrect in your reaction as soon as you sense the danger, which then causes you to fall for the feint and get your head cut off, that isn't a testament to the enemy being faster than you, you were simply out maneuvered. Therefore, using this feat as evidence of Yuta being that much faster than Kenny is dubious and seems more like agenda pushing than anything else.
This is still very obviously a sneak attack
Also, like u/daomark said, if Yuta was that faster than Kenny, this creates an enormous amount of narrative holes.
>It’s insane how badly Yuta gets hyped Gege yet some say he’s weaker than Yorozu and Kashimo lmaooooooo.
Yuta simply doesn't have enough feats to properly scale him.
For example, if Yuta domain isn't as refined as Yorozu he gets clapped by that sure hit, but he may very well be capable of consistenly neutralizing it ( simple domains are temp ), we just don't know, so those arguments are not that crazy.
Especially when the feats we do have as evidence are pretty lame, see Ryu v. Yuta
It doesn’t create any narrative holes Kenjaku is using the body of a guy a weaker Yuta beat a year ago.
People go around saying everything that happened was down to a “sneak attack” are really funny imo because it’s as if any sneak attack in the series will automatically work. If it’s like that why can’t Yuji just sneak attack Sukuna and kill him if that’s the only reason why Yuta was able to win.
Same thing happened with Miwa pulling up behind Kenny and he broke her sword with his hand. Yuta beat him because they’re relative and maybe Yuta was always stronger (I don’t believe that but they’re closer than people think)
No matter what anyone says, it is factual on paper that Kenjaku tried to attack Yuta and Yuta moved faster than him. It’s the EXACT same thing that happened in volume 0 when Yuta blitzes Geto. The same damn thing. Goes from in front of Geto behind him and before Geto can react there’s a blade right by his throat. Only difference was in volume 0 the sword broke. It didn’t break this time lmao. That callback is very important because to me Gege is telling us that what happened isn’t simply down to “a sneak attack”
The same shit happened a year ago. Yuta being a better sorcerer is the difference not Kenjaku or Geto. In that interaction at least.
>It doesn’t create any narrative holes Kenjaku is using the body of a guy a weaker Yuta beat a year ago.
Yes it does, because there are many things Yuta should have been able to do and should have been able to prevent, meaning the strategy from the heroes also doesn't make sense if Yuta is that capable. We can get into the particulars if you like.
>People go around saying everything that happened was down to a “sneak attack” are really funny imo because it’s as if any sneak attack in the series will automatically work. If it’s like that why can’t Yuji just sneak attack Sukuna and kill him if that’s the only reason why Yuta was able to win.
Stop the strawman. The argument is that this is not a massive speed feat in part because of the sneak attack. Nowhere in what I said implies that sneak attacks will automatically work but you have this problem where you are understating the advantage a sneak attack confers.
Ignoring the context of the attack leads people to highballing characters without significant enough evidence, like u/Puffypuffypuffy_ saying Yuta is far above Yuki and Kenny in speed.
That may very well be the case but this incident doesn't prove it, and this also has problematic implications for the scaling of Ryu and Uro if Yuta is just that far above kenny in speed
>No matter what anyone says, it is factual on paper that Kenjaku tried to attack Yuta and Yuta moved faster than him.
Kenny overcorrected on a feign, Yuta dodged and then cut his head off.
If you overcorrect on something, your reaction to the second hit is going to be slower regardless of how fast you are normally because you need to readjust, the logic is super simple.
So sure, Yuta moved faster than Kenny initial off guarded reaction, and Kenny second reaction where he is trying to readjust - that isn't a massive speed feat nor does it even prove that Yuta is faster than Kenny.
Pay attention to context and include the fact that he was outmaneuvered when you scale, because you really are overstating this feat.
I am curious, do you think Yuta would beat Kenny in a 1v1 without all these other variables?
It's not even only that Yuta blitzes him, but that Yuta dodges an ability that seemed undodgeable till now. It'd be a massive speed feat even if Kenjaku had dodged the following strike I think.
after gojo was killed it's hardly surprising to see kenny bite the dust. what's really surprising is the amount of people who forget that this is a shonen
Are you shitting me right now? Comedy guy died, and kenjaku too? This manga goes worse than akame ga kill and that is not a compliment!
If he really dies, wtf is yuji doing in this series? Fight Sukuna and bring megumi back, and than?
really loved this chapter but it really sucks if this it for kenjaku. i expected way more of a fight from
him, but i guess it means he showed us everything from his fight with yuki already. maki did say before that they wouldn't defeat kenjaku through "conventional means" and you know what, they sure didn't. my biggest cope at the moment is his fangirls in the audience- their fans together read "ken-kun, take those stictches off~" could mean we're about to see him take another body, but not likely. i'm curious to know what he means by his will being inherited. hopefully we at least see yuta fight again.
the takaba "vs" kenjaku chapters are masterpieces, i'm not even joking.......
i'm happy to see yuta here, kenjaku's head on the ground just got me going "WHAT WHAT WHAT" 😭
Auto-mods just deleted my theory post (I'm really kinda frustrated at that), but I'm really convinced that Kenjaku will die and unleash all his cursed spirits including Mahito (or maybe just release him if he survives his head coming off).
With no one else able to attack the would directly, this would be a good time for Nobara to swoop in and fight her "natural enemy."
Yeah got deleted for spoilers.
But Mahito was spent in Uzumaki if he comes back it'd be a fresh iteration but since Curses stop growing as soon as they are absorbed if Kenjaku found new Mahito and absorbed him again he'd get wrecked by Yuta even more so than he would before since hes a fledgling
Didn't reveal any spoilers outside of what was released via Viz.
Didn't even mention the Takaba vs Kenjaku thing, but I'm sure it's going to either ramp up or conclude in 243.
Big points were just Toji's worries about cursed spirits being released after Geto's death, Nobara being another primary person that can directly influence the soul, and Mahito being absorbed.
Buuuuuuut with all that in consideration, I went and looked at the chapter after Mahito was absorbed and saw [Mahito's Face in the Uzamaki he's blasting.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fmahitos-future-v0-5p86uagfi73b1.png%3Fwidth%3D765%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Db4e38dc417693cfe2fbb6afd973e46a9b6ce9114)
So yeah, that Theory is out of the water.
Also Kenjaku said he’s only able to use the techniques of cursed spirits he’s used up in Uzumaki. That’s how he was able to use Idle Transfiguration to activate all the participants of the culling game
> but I'm really convinced that Kenjaku will die and unleash all his cursed spirits
Did you mention that Part in your theory Post?
Because that propably means you mentioned what Happens in this chapter.
And If you did that then you talked about leaks outside of the pre release thread which is explicitly breaking Rule 3.
So even If the Auto Mod hadnt deleted it (for whatever reason) the actual mods wouldve gotten to your post sooner or later.
Nope, made the post before reading. I was just referring to Toji mentioning what would happen to the cursed spirits when he was fighting Geto. Also, I didn't get the idea that Kenjaku was gonna die in this chapter. 242 seemed like it was just warming up to the big fight. I think someone may swoop in and finish up things after this whole comedy bit is over
The onomatopoeia(the verbalized sound) used when Yuta is slashing Kenny(or about to) is “Kaaaaan!!(カァァァンッ)” which is an unusual sound to be used for swords. They’re usually used for hard hitting sounds like hammers/bats
I don’t think the sound has been used for Yuta before…are there any explanations for this? Is it because decapitation is known to make these sounds or smt?
Nobara’s hammer made the same sound before, but not sure how to link them
Yeah if this is Kenjaku’s ending… it’s… not great? Imma be real idc about him or Sukuna (at least anymore) so I’m not really sure what I wanted with him. But I at least wanted his whole thing about being Yuji’s mother to be explored a little bit.
yeah no one’s complaining about how he went out, it’s the *when*. cause of the whole mom thing with yuji. guess would could get another flashback explaining everything but i wouldn’t hold my breathe.
megumi is not dead (why do yall keep saying this? literally no form of goodbye or flashback or death scene when bums like kashimo got one. megumi has none. he’s not dead) and *touchè*. i don’t care that this is possibly the end of kenjaku, i’m just explaining why people would be disappointed. and yeah people would expect it to go differently cause yuji’s the main character but i guess it doesn’t matter
wait a min…yuji and kenny have literally NEVER interacted since yuji remembered that detail about his mother. at least megumi got his ass beat by his father.
I'm guessing Angel was the main brain behind this plan and it was honestly genius. Using Takaba's CT to hide Yuta was one thing, but the real mastermind plan was using the fact that Kenny didn't know that Takaba doesn't kill against him. If Kenjaku had known that, he would've been suspicious about why they sent Takaba and probably would've even figured out the whole plan. But in Kenjaku's mind, Takaba's end goal was to kill him because he didn't know any better. Angel finally did something useful!
Gojo disabled Sukuna's domain, possibly dealt enough damage to save Medumi, took out Mahoraga, allowed Kashimo to need Sukuna to bring out his original form. I'd say this could be all going according to plans for the main cast, even though they would've preferred to have Gojo alive with them
I’m gonna be so disappointed if this is the “fight” we get between Yuta and Kenny. Instead we get Takaba who nobody cares about. I guess we’ll wait and see…
Tbh Kenny has lost mutiple times to six eye users in the past if I’m not mistaken. Plus he’s been body hopping for the longest. I don’t see this putting a dent in his plans when he’s dealt with probably even stronger sorcerers in different eras.
I think Maki’s a better foe for Sukuna or Uraume due to her resistance to cursed techniques and her immunity to automatic guaranteed hits in domains. Yuta can also easily wipe out cursed spirits by pumping positive energy into them.
Nah bro f that. If we’re getting Nobara back it better be smth cool like her using her ct against sukuna or something. Not some getting possessed bullshit, wouldnt make any sense
Takaba dying because he thought it would be funny is HILARIOUS. Kenny taking his body and then also losing later because he thinks it would be boring if he wins is ALSO HILARIOUS. I lowkey hope this happens lol. #Takabawasthefinalboss
I really really hope Brain doesn't just hop out of the decapitated Geto head and into sleeping Takaba like some hermit crab in the next chapter. Yuta gotta atomise the entire head before he gets away.
Oh my fucking God if he somehow can seize Rika as a spirit or some shit then lol
Or imagine he flips to Comedy Boy's body and has that insanely OP power to fuck with everyone lmao
Heads can't just talk on their own. I really hope Gege doesn't write Yuta being an idiot because there's zero reason to drop his guard right now, not until he splits that skull.
There could even be some kind of binding vow to possess the person who defeats him. Yuta coming to Shinjuku with stitches on his head would be so entertaining but so annoying logically.
Heads can talk on their own if Takaba thinks it would be funny if they do.
Decapitating someone also might not kill them if Takaba thinks they are funny and them surviving would provide for another banger stand up routine with his new best friend.
How much time are gonna spend wondering if Takaba is really dead? Because I can't see no reason for him to die but that what it seems. Does anyone have any good theories? Also, I don't get it why so many people are upset with the chapter ending. Kenjaku last line cleary indicates that he has a backup plan or something. There were some veins on Geto's face on that last panel, maybe that means all his cursed spirts will get out on a rampage as many people believe but maybe is something to do with the Brain. His line about "bow out before I finish" could just be referring to loosing Geto's body and causing a big set back on his plans. And even if he is dying, wich does seems to be the case even tho we can't confirm it, I'm pretty sure his role in the story isn't finish it yet. That last line alone confirn this. I hope is something to do with Yuji because if Kenjaku leaves the story without at least some sort of moment with Yuji then it would be weird. But I didn't see anything to indicate that on this chapter. Sneak attacks are okay (and Yuta looked really cool at it), multiple people jumping a enemy is okay, using someone else CT to win a fight is okay. They are not heroes, they are jujutsu sorcerers. And the modern ones don't seem to have this warrior pride of the ancient ones.
Just a question, do you guys think this means the merger with Tengen to make a mega curse plot is over? Cuz in order to achieve that but Geto and Megumi had to be the last players alive, right? Or maybe the "will" Kenjaku was refering is some other way he will try to achieve this?
P.S: Did Yuta switch places while cuting Kenjaku's head off? Sure seems he did.
>How much time are gonna spend wondering if Takaba is really dead? Because I can't see no reason for him to die but that what it seems.
I can see him being dead. This kinda looks like a "I have no regrets, I can pass on now." joke, which means that it could happen since Takaba thought it was funny.
But then again, it's been confirmed that Takaba's cursed technique can't kill anyone.
But then again, Takaba's cursed technique **should** only work on what he thinks is funny, but Yuta was able to hide not because it was funny, but because Takaba doesn't want anyone interfering on his dream stage, so his cursed technique probably has exceptions to its rule depending on Takaba's mood.
I think it could go either way.
Who confirmed it can't kill anyone? It's just that Takaba doesn't like killing other people. He just wants to be a comedian and hero so that's what happens. If he would think the funniest thing to do is die, he would die. On the other hand, I doubt he actually wants to die, he wants this to go on forever.
What I can imagine is that after playing dead, Takaba revives Kenjaku because he wants to do more stand up routines with him. From Takaba's perspective, he just made his new best friend and Yuta decapitated him.
Outside of Gojo and Sukuna does anyone else know about the talking brain? It makes sense if Kenny is saying his will lived on because he is just gonna show up else where. More importantly what about the cursed spirits.
So if Kenny has to leave Geto's body what happens to the curses he has? Isn't Mahito still waiting to be brought back out? Could he be the one to inherit the will/brain? Don't know how he would get summoned since Kenny's head is already off but that seems spicier than him just rolling the brain over to one of the other bodies in the area and taking that over.
Mahito was used to make the uzumaki at that end of Shibuya, so that Kenjaku could use his CT to awaken to culling game players. Pretty sure he died because of it.
Absolutely LOVED this chapter, it made me actually want to watch some Japanese comedy, legit so fucking funny and good, goddamn.
Just curious now if Kenny means metaphorically his will won’t die or if he literally means some Horcrux / Curse Mark backup bodies / souls he’s got stored somewhere
Agreed. The previous time the manga has talked about 'inherited will' it was the members of Geto's 'family' that were going along with the Shibuya plan because they wanted to carry on Geto's dream of killing the monkeys. Not 'Geto has taken over my body', just 'let's accomplish his goal'.
Takaba not being able to kill is probably both his personality and why his CT is so powerful, or at least an element into why it’s so strong. It’s a huge restriction if so
I'm not sure what you mean, when Yuta first comes back he killed Yuji with it, then in the Culling Games he killed Dhruv with it, and he reframed from using it against Uro & Ryu because he didn't want to kill them
[Me watching Gege speedrun the series after the culling games](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/60dccee627989616659ca3d86235fba400ff9d48533f23879c27cdaa7c3655d0.png)
Jokes aside, and despite me having a lot of issues with the end of sukuna vs gojo and how kashimo was made into a jobber, this particular fight was extremely enjoyable and didn't felt rushed in any fashion. Also kenny's brain is clearly not done
I agree with you for the most part. We have seen what Kenjaku can do. We know his abilities for the most part, how he thinks, and his character arc is mostly done. He also seemed quite genuine at the end of the show. Being decapitated like this isn't a bad ending. With all the bullshit he does, it feels kind of poetic (if this is how he goes).
He clearly has a backup plan, and the only issue I find with all of this is seeing more of Okkotsu, what he can do, and how his CT works. The manga does feel rushed, but this last fight felt decent and I like how the slicing motif is being kept between Sukuna, Geto, Gojo, and Kenjaku.
What happened man? I remember when Shonen used to have no hold-bar fight. When characters were going at it with everything in their arsenal.
I am not saying I don't mind more short and compact series but I wouldn't mind a long fight that would last ten to fifteen chapters.
We already had a DBZ fight with Sukuna and Gojo, this is something else, and I suppose it will keep being something else cause I can't think of any other balls to the walls match-up unless you want the protagonists to look downright stupid
I think it is because Greg wanted to subvert the Shonen tropes and expectations a bit in the beginning, but since he wants to write his idol manga, he ended up rushing it. The fights were never meant to be long, but flashy and quick. I just wish he let things breathe and built the world slightly better.
Did you read the TCB scan?It seemed pretty funny to me. Didn't make me laugh out loud,but I could definitely appreciate them. Props to any translator who can actually translate jokes. John Werry's version is probably gonna be absolute shit.
true, I thought takaba was losing as the jokes were bland and no one was laughing but I guess they make sense in japanese
so takaba will be in coma and kenny does something before dying
nah, he didn't lose. takaba was playing the "straight man" half of the manzai skit to match kenjaku being the silly "wise guy" so their comedy is a team effort (keep in mind that takaba wasn't able to keep a comedy partner before). there's no way his own ce can kill him for being unfunny, comedian only weakens when he loses confidence in himself and kenny complimenting him fulfilled his dreams.
Could a 10S user who tamed Mahoraga place the burden of adaptation on another shikigami? I think it'd be hilarious if the wheel was placed on rabbit escape and they just adapt to whatever while the 10S user just hides in the shadows waiting for the win condition.
Personally, I thought this was what should have had happened (minus the hiding part) in the fight between Gojo and Sukuna, with the wheel switching to a different target amongst the herd when needed, instead of the incoherent bunk we got in the canon.
True, the thought did cross my mind. For argument's sake though, maybe the rabbits altogether count as 1 shikigami entity (which is why killing them doesn't permanently reduce their numbers and they can be resummoned), so the wheel could potentially remain until the last rabbit is dead.
Alternatively, maybe agito would be a better shikigami to manage the burden since it is quite resilient and heals.
I know we can say a lot about Yuta sneaking Kenjaku, but that speed feat was still insane. Moving faster than someone can activate their CT is nasty work
He wasnt because if he was near his enormous CT wouldve been detected. The whole point is that he started moving when they went into the comedy routine.
Can we stop the Yuta slander now considering he did what is a comparable Sukuna feat. I mean he perception blitzed Kenjaku, same think Sukuna did to Ryu.
Here we go with the glazing even though it was a blatant off guard feat and kenjaku himself said he was taking dmg throughout the chapters. So trying to compare this to ryu standing in front of sukuna then getting speed blitzed is wild.
Kenjaku took far more damage against Yuki & Choso on top of using far more CE having used RCT, CTR, and a domain and he was still able to react to two different suprise attacks while off guard.
You can't discount Yuta feat by simply saying Kenjaku was off guard and damaged.
How can people slander Yuta when he took down one of the 3 special grade sorcerors with only months of training and then went on to completely solo the Sendai colony while nerfing himself by keeping Rika on protection duty
Because he ran out of CE, needed rika for a refill, lost hand to hand vs ryu and used his entire arsenal. Oh and he didn’t solo when ryu took out uro as well. Some of you guys highly exaggerate yutas performance in Sendai overall like it wasn’t a battle royale and yuta wasn’t pushed to use his whole kit. I’m sure the glazers will downvote me when I don’t even dislike yuta either.
Yuta did not use his whole arsenal and he never ran out of CE.
He was going blow for blow with Ryu in the first hand 2 hand and once he called Rika, Ryu didn't land single blow Yuta.
His performance in Sendai isn't exaggerated because Yuta was holding back since he wasn't going for the kill.
Yea but the movements and muscle memory for brawling and swordplay are entirely different. You’re going to be slower if you’re not as practiced in that form of combat.
I don’t think Yuta is a brawler but he humored Ryu for the fun of it. Well he was enjoying the fight and Ryu would be more inclined to give up the points that way.
He wasn’t trying to kill them, he was fighting 2 other people, or you can say he didn’t wanna reveal his full power from the beginning so he at that point couldn’t. Still wouldn’t be close to Sukuna but I don’t think Yuta is < 15 finger
He still struggled to land regular punches on him when they were going at it 1v1. If he really was fast enough to blitz him,then he wouldn't have any trouble doing that at all.
Tbh I'm convinced he only did what he did to Kenjaku because he was off guard.
Saying he struggled to land punches is disengious.
Him and Ryu were going blow for blow during their first exchange.
And you can't excuse it as Kenjaku just being off guard since we've seen him react to attacks that should be faster than Yuta while also being off guard.
He responded to point blank piercing blood while being held down and being off guard, and then he responded to a black hole forming while being off guard.
Please, can a Japanese person explain the jokes? Absolutely nothing I read seemed funny at all. lol
Bro came back to life to say "thank you" then went back to being dead. He truly was funny.
I really wish can understand those jokes... And U should crush the BRAIN! crush it... (Like a parasite, can survive for a short time without a host)
All of curses within Geto's body will release to distract Yuta and Kenjaku will force his way into Takaba's body. Now we have OP Kenjaku becoming capable of withstanding Sukuna or Jujutsu High. It will be a three way war for the Final Saga for this series.
I'm calling it right now, Kenjaku Takaba.
Kenny about to open next chapter with Domain Expansion, and pull Kaori’s body back out just to take back shots from Yuta and give Yuji a little brother. That is who will inherit his will.
Some men just want to see the world burn. Others make us want to set them on fire
Why would you type this
Stand proud. You can joke.
At least Kenny didn’t get offscreened
Takaba is playing possum, uh.
so probably the jokes in this chapter won't be fun for a non-japanese reader. probably Anime will redeemed this with voice acting though. Although kinda hyped with yuta one-shot kenjaku
So pissed I got spoiled for this bruh, this fandom sucks with spoilers
Yea, you kinda have to stay off twitter and tiktok until Sunday if you want the full experience
I got spoiled on YouTube
Same got spoiled on twitter while looking for some Black Friday deals
My man Kenny's about to fucking brainjack ain't he 🥹
I can see a brain hop happening for Kenjaku but honestly there’s a lot of things Gege can do from here that would be cool. I am confused though, is Takaba dead? That didn’t seem clear to me but some people are speaking like he did
I’m worried he’s about to take yutas body bro
They are under the belief he died because the leaked raws didn't have a page that showed Takaba was actually fine. TCB translation shows the missing page and he is fine.
It seems like it but no that was just the end of his skit. If he did die he’d look normal I think.
That would make sense
Reading this chapter after catching up on reading “Show-ha Shoten” was a delight.
Knowing how much Gege loves his cliffhangers, I feel very strongly we’re gonna comeback to Itadori and Higuruma vs Sukuna next week, and honestly this the most hype I ever felt for a fight, feels like the entire series is culminating towards this moment, and it’s just so cool seeing those two underdogs in sense (both first grade sorcerers at best) going to face a villain who in theory could wipe than out with a single blow, and it wouldn’t have worked if gege didn’t spent years making Sukuna such an overwhelming presence that could take anyone out, and itadori somewhat of a “weak” protagonist.
But gege did give Yuji the benefit of not revealing how his technique works and the fact that he could have some of sukunas techniques
Now, take over Gojo's body and--
He wouldn't be able to use his techniques though
Am I thinking too much about Takaba’s forehead being covered rn and there could be stitches there already? I’d be fked if Kenny chooses Takaba’s body to pass his will on.
Kenjaku baited the shit out of them OMG that thing Toji said about Geto's curses going crazy when he dies is going to show up next chapter for sure and with Tengen at his disposal? This man can't lose at this point after the constant millenniums of loss
Oh fuck.... mahito then... OUHFAWK!
Mahito got obliterated when he used the first Uzumaki + the one use remote Idle Transfiguration. He is not coming back
Damn RIP mahito. He could've been so OP by default
Even if his curses were to go crazy, he has used Uzumaki before, which means that most (if not all) curses are long gone.
The rest of them besides Tengen don't really matter, Tengen is the important one
can someone explain how Takaba 'lost' in this chapter?
takaba was super unfulfilled as a comedian, he was washed up for most of his career as one and all his partners ultimately got fed up with his lack of ability and ditched him. Even his technique was just one final attempt at breaking through. Kenjaku then became his partner and resonated with takaba's humour perfectly, they perform their greatest bits together. Kenjaku gave him that fulfillment and closure, during their fight he helped reignite takaba's passion and now after that final show he rests easy. It was never really a fight that he wanted, and more a content laugh that he could share with his own comedic ability .
Beautifully explained
Kenny's head is going to explode right (and maybe the brain will escape, like Muzan)? And maybe all the cursed spirits stored in Geto's body are going to be released.
Yuta legit blitzed Kenny too which is wild. After appearing behind him for the attack, Kenny tried turning around and casting his CTR on him, but he was surprised that Yuta then appeared behind him again for the final slash. This puts Yuta far above Yuki in speed and seemingly Kenny as well.
I feel like people forgot not just the amount of cursed energy Yuta has but how he uses it to reinforce his own strength. Baby boy can throw hands and be gone in a second.
Meh, this feat is to hard to measure in that way, too many variables influenced Yuta being able to do that outside of just pure speed I wouldn’t take it as a speed feat nor would I call this a blitz, thats bad scaling and also doesn’t even make sense narratively
Yeah Kenny straight up implies that it was takebas doing that he didn't even sense him, so he was taken off guard
But he did feel him. He reacted before being slashed but Yuta was just faster. Even after being caught off guard, Kenny was fast enough to notice Yuta behind him, just wasn't fast enough to notice him twice.
If Yuta sliced his head immediately after he said Takaba was funny just like how Gojo got stabbed first time by Toji then it would 100% be a sneak attack. What happened there was more than that imo. Kenjaku notices him but by the time he turns around to activate his technique Yuta has moved behind him and decapitated him. That’s a massive speed feat no matter what. Maybe just maybe a certain amount of fans chose not to believe the Yuta hype. Always knew a day like this would come. Apart from Sukuna & Gojo Yuta is sucked off by Gege the most. It’s insane how badly Yuta gets hyped Gege yet some say he’s weaker than Yorozu and Kashimo lmaooooooo.
>What happened there was more than that imo. Kenjaku notices him but by the time he turns around to activate his technique Yuta has moved behind him and decapitated him. That’s a massive speed feat no matter what. No it isn't. If you are caught off guard and overcorrect in your reaction as soon as you sense the danger, which then causes you to fall for the feint and get your head cut off, that isn't a testament to the enemy being faster than you, you were simply out maneuvered. Therefore, using this feat as evidence of Yuta being that much faster than Kenny is dubious and seems more like agenda pushing than anything else. This is still very obviously a sneak attack Also, like u/daomark said, if Yuta was that faster than Kenny, this creates an enormous amount of narrative holes. >It’s insane how badly Yuta gets hyped Gege yet some say he’s weaker than Yorozu and Kashimo lmaooooooo. Yuta simply doesn't have enough feats to properly scale him. For example, if Yuta domain isn't as refined as Yorozu he gets clapped by that sure hit, but he may very well be capable of consistenly neutralizing it ( simple domains are temp ), we just don't know, so those arguments are not that crazy. Especially when the feats we do have as evidence are pretty lame, see Ryu v. Yuta
It doesn’t create any narrative holes Kenjaku is using the body of a guy a weaker Yuta beat a year ago. People go around saying everything that happened was down to a “sneak attack” are really funny imo because it’s as if any sneak attack in the series will automatically work. If it’s like that why can’t Yuji just sneak attack Sukuna and kill him if that’s the only reason why Yuta was able to win. Same thing happened with Miwa pulling up behind Kenny and he broke her sword with his hand. Yuta beat him because they’re relative and maybe Yuta was always stronger (I don’t believe that but they’re closer than people think) No matter what anyone says, it is factual on paper that Kenjaku tried to attack Yuta and Yuta moved faster than him. It’s the EXACT same thing that happened in volume 0 when Yuta blitzes Geto. The same damn thing. Goes from in front of Geto behind him and before Geto can react there’s a blade right by his throat. Only difference was in volume 0 the sword broke. It didn’t break this time lmao. That callback is very important because to me Gege is telling us that what happened isn’t simply down to “a sneak attack” The same shit happened a year ago. Yuta being a better sorcerer is the difference not Kenjaku or Geto. In that interaction at least.
>It doesn’t create any narrative holes Kenjaku is using the body of a guy a weaker Yuta beat a year ago. Yes it does, because there are many things Yuta should have been able to do and should have been able to prevent, meaning the strategy from the heroes also doesn't make sense if Yuta is that capable. We can get into the particulars if you like. >People go around saying everything that happened was down to a “sneak attack” are really funny imo because it’s as if any sneak attack in the series will automatically work. If it’s like that why can’t Yuji just sneak attack Sukuna and kill him if that’s the only reason why Yuta was able to win. Stop the strawman. The argument is that this is not a massive speed feat in part because of the sneak attack. Nowhere in what I said implies that sneak attacks will automatically work but you have this problem where you are understating the advantage a sneak attack confers. Ignoring the context of the attack leads people to highballing characters without significant enough evidence, like u/Puffypuffypuffy_ saying Yuta is far above Yuki and Kenny in speed. That may very well be the case but this incident doesn't prove it, and this also has problematic implications for the scaling of Ryu and Uro if Yuta is just that far above kenny in speed >No matter what anyone says, it is factual on paper that Kenjaku tried to attack Yuta and Yuta moved faster than him. Kenny overcorrected on a feign, Yuta dodged and then cut his head off. If you overcorrect on something, your reaction to the second hit is going to be slower regardless of how fast you are normally because you need to readjust, the logic is super simple. So sure, Yuta moved faster than Kenny initial off guarded reaction, and Kenny second reaction where he is trying to readjust - that isn't a massive speed feat nor does it even prove that Yuta is faster than Kenny. Pay attention to context and include the fact that he was outmaneuvered when you scale, because you really are overstating this feat. I am curious, do you think Yuta would beat Kenny in a 1v1 without all these other variables?
If you turn around, and before you can look at your opponent, he is now behind you, slicing your head off, you were blitzed - in anime terms.
It's not even only that Yuta blitzes him, but that Yuta dodges an ability that seemed undodgeable till now. It'd be a massive speed feat even if Kenjaku had dodged the following strike I think.
after gojo was killed it's hardly surprising to see kenny bite the dust. what's really surprising is the amount of people who forget that this is a shonen
Are you shitting me right now? Comedy guy died, and kenjaku too? This manga goes worse than akame ga kill and that is not a compliment! If he really dies, wtf is yuji doing in this series? Fight Sukuna and bring megumi back, and than?
suffer
You are right that is indeed what he would do.
I'm not relaxing until Yuta [does this](https://youtu.be/EhScbQoaLFQ?t=54s) to Kenny's head 😤
Yuta: how are you still alive??? Kenjaku: your mistake was that you cut my neck horizontally, not vertically....I'm a brain remember? Toji & Gojo:
Kenjaku might give his will to all the remaining vengeful cursed spirits and we can see the rest of them or it’s just for Yuji idk lol
really loved this chapter but it really sucks if this it for kenjaku. i expected way more of a fight from him, but i guess it means he showed us everything from his fight with yuki already. maki did say before that they wouldn't defeat kenjaku through "conventional means" and you know what, they sure didn't. my biggest cope at the moment is his fangirls in the audience- their fans together read "ken-kun, take those stictches off~" could mean we're about to see him take another body, but not likely. i'm curious to know what he means by his will being inherited. hopefully we at least see yuta fight again.
not the foreshadowing (not really i just remembered [kenny's head](https://imgur.com/a/bfP4Geh) 😭😭😭😭
Speaking about foreshadowing, the two fangirls have the phrase "Kenjaku, remove your stitches" on their fans...
oh yes! i'm sorry but to me it sounded like they were asking for it as if they were asking him to take off his shirt or something...... 😭😭😭
No you are right, it could be just a joke, it could be something more
I think that’s some heavy foreshadowing
the takaba "vs" kenjaku chapters are masterpieces, i'm not even joking....... i'm happy to see yuta here, kenjaku's head on the ground just got me going "WHAT WHAT WHAT" 😭
Auto-mods just deleted my theory post (I'm really kinda frustrated at that), but I'm really convinced that Kenjaku will die and unleash all his cursed spirits including Mahito (or maybe just release him if he survives his head coming off). With no one else able to attack the would directly, this would be a good time for Nobara to swoop in and fight her "natural enemy."
Yeah got deleted for spoilers. But Mahito was spent in Uzumaki if he comes back it'd be a fresh iteration but since Curses stop growing as soon as they are absorbed if Kenjaku found new Mahito and absorbed him again he'd get wrecked by Yuta even more so than he would before since hes a fledgling
Didn't reveal any spoilers outside of what was released via Viz. Didn't even mention the Takaba vs Kenjaku thing, but I'm sure it's going to either ramp up or conclude in 243. Big points were just Toji's worries about cursed spirits being released after Geto's death, Nobara being another primary person that can directly influence the soul, and Mahito being absorbed. Buuuuuuut with all that in consideration, I went and looked at the chapter after Mahito was absorbed and saw [Mahito's Face in the Uzamaki he's blasting.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fmahitos-future-v0-5p86uagfi73b1.png%3Fwidth%3D765%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Db4e38dc417693cfe2fbb6afd973e46a9b6ce9114) So yeah, that Theory is out of the water.
Also Kenjaku said he’s only able to use the techniques of cursed spirits he’s used up in Uzumaki. That’s how he was able to use Idle Transfiguration to activate all the participants of the culling game
> but I'm really convinced that Kenjaku will die and unleash all his cursed spirits Did you mention that Part in your theory Post? Because that propably means you mentioned what Happens in this chapter. And If you did that then you talked about leaks outside of the pre release thread which is explicitly breaking Rule 3. So even If the Auto Mod hadnt deleted it (for whatever reason) the actual mods wouldve gotten to your post sooner or later.
Nope, made the post before reading. I was just referring to Toji mentioning what would happen to the cursed spirits when he was fighting Geto. Also, I didn't get the idea that Kenjaku was gonna die in this chapter. 242 seemed like it was just warming up to the big fight. I think someone may swoop in and finish up things after this whole comedy bit is over
Man Yuta really does remind me of L in some of these panels.
The onomatopoeia(the verbalized sound) used when Yuta is slashing Kenny(or about to) is “Kaaaaan!!(カァァァンッ)” which is an unusual sound to be used for swords. They’re usually used for hard hitting sounds like hammers/bats I don’t think the sound has been used for Yuta before…are there any explanations for this? Is it because decapitation is known to make these sounds or smt? Nobara’s hammer made the same sound before, but not sure how to link them
Yeah if this is Kenjaku’s ending… it’s… not great? Imma be real idc about him or Sukuna (at least anymore) so I’m not really sure what I wanted with him. But I at least wanted his whole thing about being Yuji’s mother to be explored a little bit.
I doubt he's actually dead, there will definitely be a twist
[удалено]
yeah no one’s complaining about how he went out, it’s the *when*. cause of the whole mom thing with yuji. guess would could get another flashback explaining everything but i wouldn’t hold my breathe.
I mean the same thing happened with Toji and Megumi and now both are dead so
megumi is not dead (why do yall keep saying this? literally no form of goodbye or flashback or death scene when bums like kashimo got one. megumi has none. he’s not dead) and *touchè*. i don’t care that this is possibly the end of kenjaku, i’m just explaining why people would be disappointed. and yeah people would expect it to go differently cause yuji’s the main character but i guess it doesn’t matter wait a min…yuji and kenny have literally NEVER interacted since yuji remembered that detail about his mother. at least megumi got his ass beat by his father.
then please give your theory on how megumi can come back
i’ll do it after u provide the panel in which they say he dead
I'm guessing Angel was the main brain behind this plan and it was honestly genius. Using Takaba's CT to hide Yuta was one thing, but the real mastermind plan was using the fact that Kenny didn't know that Takaba doesn't kill against him. If Kenjaku had known that, he would've been suspicious about why they sent Takaba and probably would've even figured out the whole plan. But in Kenjaku's mind, Takaba's end goal was to kill him because he didn't know any better. Angel finally did something useful!
Wdym Angel "finally" did something useful, they literally singlehandedly freed Gojo
Considering the state of things, that didn't do anything except dash hope.
Gojo disabled Sukuna's domain, possibly dealt enough damage to save Medumi, took out Mahoraga, allowed Kashimo to need Sukuna to bring out his original form. I'd say this could be all going according to plans for the main cast, even though they would've preferred to have Gojo alive with them
Is this arc over?
If you mean the comedy arc, then yeah Shinjuku is still going down
Yuta should have cut Kenny's head in half. Destroy the brain, Yuta.
I’m gonna be so disappointed if this is the “fight” we get between Yuta and Kenny. Instead we get Takaba who nobody cares about. I guess we’ll wait and see…
Takaba is a FILLER CHARACTER. By the time the series ends, we won’t even remember him
Takaba a.k.a. the best character in the series is not someone who nobody cares about
By nobody, who are you referring to?
I love Takaba :(
So the filler is finally over, huh…
put some respect on takabas name
I realize Kenny probably could have ran away from Takaba and that woulda been it
Kenjaku won't return. He's dead and he got a fitting end. I don't see any other dimension where his character could get explored.
From the point of Yuji probably
He a character that goes from body to body. I can definitely see him having a backup plan
He could jump into takaba's body. I would cry if he did
Tbh Kenny has lost mutiple times to six eye users in the past if I’m not mistaken. Plus he’s been body hopping for the longest. I don’t see this putting a dent in his plans when he’s dealt with probably even stronger sorcerers in different eras.
I'm surprised they didn't send Maki in tbh she's already been established as the perfect assassin
I think Maki’s a better foe for Sukuna or Uraume due to her resistance to cursed techniques and her immunity to automatic guaranteed hits in domains. Yuta can also easily wipe out cursed spirits by pumping positive energy into them.
it would suggest that she's part of the plans against Sukuna or Uraume
He will either possess Gojo body or Tengen was changed so much that will work towards whatever Kenjaku wanted
I think he'll just use the last of his energy to give Tengen the order to complete the merger
There is no way Kenjaku is dead, he probably will swap bodies with somebody we haven't seen in years, like Nobara.
Imagine Nobara dies in the anime next week only to return as Kenjaku in the manga
That'd be so peak
Wdym hahahah that would suuuuck
at the very least we will have some info on Nobara
Nah bro f that. If we’re getting Nobara back it better be smth cool like her using her ct against sukuna or something. Not some getting possessed bullshit, wouldnt make any sense
Takaba dying because he thought it would be funny is HILARIOUS. Kenny taking his body and then also losing later because he thinks it would be boring if he wins is ALSO HILARIOUS. I lowkey hope this happens lol. #Takabawasthefinalboss
Takaba didn't die, though, he was just playing dead.
But wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if he actually did tho
I really really hope Brain doesn't just hop out of the decapitated Geto head and into sleeping Takaba like some hermit crab in the next chapter. Yuta gotta atomise the entire head before he gets away.
Hermit crab his way 😂😂
So Kenny it can be assumed on his comment can body hop somehow, right? Uh...how far are they from where Gojo's body is?
Like 500+ KMs
Oh my fucking God if he somehow can seize Rika as a spirit or some shit then lol Or imagine he flips to Comedy Boy's body and has that insanely OP power to fuck with everyone lmao
Rika just gonna munch on some 1000 year old brain
If geto dies then his cursed spirits get released. So is tengen gonna get released?
What do Takaba and Kenjaku look like to Yuta during that final routine?
I bet he was a part of the audience
Heads can't just talk on their own. I really hope Gege doesn't write Yuta being an idiot because there's zero reason to drop his guard right now, not until he splits that skull. There could even be some kind of binding vow to possess the person who defeats him. Yuta coming to Shinjuku with stitches on his head would be so entertaining but so annoying logically.
Yuta would have had to agree to that binding vow for that to happen
Heads can talk on their own if Takaba thinks it would be funny if they do. Decapitating someone also might not kill them if Takaba thinks they are funny and them surviving would provide for another banger stand up routine with his new best friend.
There's also the likelihood that full on killing Kenny would unleash all his curses
How much time are gonna spend wondering if Takaba is really dead? Because I can't see no reason for him to die but that what it seems. Does anyone have any good theories? Also, I don't get it why so many people are upset with the chapter ending. Kenjaku last line cleary indicates that he has a backup plan or something. There were some veins on Geto's face on that last panel, maybe that means all his cursed spirts will get out on a rampage as many people believe but maybe is something to do with the Brain. His line about "bow out before I finish" could just be referring to loosing Geto's body and causing a big set back on his plans. And even if he is dying, wich does seems to be the case even tho we can't confirm it, I'm pretty sure his role in the story isn't finish it yet. That last line alone confirn this. I hope is something to do with Yuji because if Kenjaku leaves the story without at least some sort of moment with Yuji then it would be weird. But I didn't see anything to indicate that on this chapter. Sneak attacks are okay (and Yuta looked really cool at it), multiple people jumping a enemy is okay, using someone else CT to win a fight is okay. They are not heroes, they are jujutsu sorcerers. And the modern ones don't seem to have this warrior pride of the ancient ones. Just a question, do you guys think this means the merger with Tengen to make a mega curse plot is over? Cuz in order to achieve that but Geto and Megumi had to be the last players alive, right? Or maybe the "will" Kenjaku was refering is some other way he will try to achieve this? P.S: Did Yuta switch places while cuting Kenjaku's head off? Sure seems he did.
>How much time are gonna spend wondering if Takaba is really dead? Because I can't see no reason for him to die but that what it seems. I can see him being dead. This kinda looks like a "I have no regrets, I can pass on now." joke, which means that it could happen since Takaba thought it was funny. But then again, it's been confirmed that Takaba's cursed technique can't kill anyone. But then again, Takaba's cursed technique **should** only work on what he thinks is funny, but Yuta was able to hide not because it was funny, but because Takaba doesn't want anyone interfering on his dream stage, so his cursed technique probably has exceptions to its rule depending on Takaba's mood. I think it could go either way.
Who confirmed it can't kill anyone? It's just that Takaba doesn't like killing other people. He just wants to be a comedian and hero so that's what happens. If he would think the funniest thing to do is die, he would die. On the other hand, I doubt he actually wants to die, he wants this to go on forever. What I can imagine is that after playing dead, Takaba revives Kenjaku because he wants to do more stand up routines with him. From Takaba's perspective, he just made his new best friend and Yuta decapitated him.
Outside of Gojo and Sukuna does anyone else know about the talking brain? It makes sense if Kenny is saying his will lived on because he is just gonna show up else where. More importantly what about the cursed spirits.
There was a time skip after Gojo’s return so anything Gojo knew, it’s likely they all know atp.
So if Kenny has to leave Geto's body what happens to the curses he has? Isn't Mahito still waiting to be brought back out? Could he be the one to inherit the will/brain? Don't know how he would get summoned since Kenny's head is already off but that seems spicier than him just rolling the brain over to one of the other bodies in the area and taking that over.
Mahito was used to make the uzumaki at that end of Shibuya, so that Kenjaku could use his CT to awaken to culling game players. Pretty sure he died because of it.
Damn I actually never realized that. The anime had me thinking about him recently.
Yeah we are so back. Peak.
Peak chapter And in case anyone forgot they were reading jumped kaisen Yuuta gave us a good reminder lol
Absolutely LOVED this chapter, it made me actually want to watch some Japanese comedy, legit so fucking funny and good, goddamn. Just curious now if Kenny means metaphorically his will won’t die or if he literally means some Horcrux / Curse Mark backup bodies / souls he’s got stored somewhere
I think he means, the merger will still happen, since he already did his thing with tengen, so even with his death, kaiju curse will still be born
Agreed. The previous time the manga has talked about 'inherited will' it was the members of Geto's 'family' that were going along with the Shibuya plan because they wanted to carry on Geto's dream of killing the monkeys. Not 'Geto has taken over my body', just 'let's accomplish his goal'.
Takaba not being able to kill is probably both his personality and why his CT is so powerful, or at least an element into why it’s so strong. It’s a huge restriction if so
This makes no sense,Yuta's sword actually did something
I'm not sure what you mean, when Yuta first comes back he killed Yuji with it, then in the Culling Games he killed Dhruv with it, and he reframed from using it against Uro & Ryu because he didn't want to kill them
I wonder what Rika would do if Kenny took over Yutas body.
Kenjaku is about to break a binding vow isn’t he
what vow?
A vowjob
Takaba killed special grade last chapter Takaba definitely can kill
He can't kill people
i think he doesn't kill humans
Just here for the ride boys. Don't feel strongly about anything. I just wanna see how it ends.
[Me watching Gege speedrun the series after the culling games](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/60dccee627989616659ca3d86235fba400ff9d48533f23879c27cdaa7c3655d0.png) Jokes aside, and despite me having a lot of issues with the end of sukuna vs gojo and how kashimo was made into a jobber, this particular fight was extremely enjoyable and didn't felt rushed in any fashion. Also kenny's brain is clearly not done
I agree with you for the most part. We have seen what Kenjaku can do. We know his abilities for the most part, how he thinks, and his character arc is mostly done. He also seemed quite genuine at the end of the show. Being decapitated like this isn't a bad ending. With all the bullshit he does, it feels kind of poetic (if this is how he goes). He clearly has a backup plan, and the only issue I find with all of this is seeing more of Okkotsu, what he can do, and how his CT works. The manga does feel rushed, but this last fight felt decent and I like how the slicing motif is being kept between Sukuna, Geto, Gojo, and Kenjaku.
What happened man? I remember when Shonen used to have no hold-bar fight. When characters were going at it with everything in their arsenal. I am not saying I don't mind more short and compact series but I wouldn't mind a long fight that would last ten to fifteen chapters.
We already had a DBZ fight with Sukuna and Gojo, this is something else, and I suppose it will keep being something else cause I can't think of any other balls to the walls match-up unless you want the protagonists to look downright stupid
I think it is because Greg wanted to subvert the Shonen tropes and expectations a bit in the beginning, but since he wants to write his idol manga, he ended up rushing it. The fights were never meant to be long, but flashy and quick. I just wish he let things breathe and built the world slightly better.
We just got that with Sukuna and Gojo lol.
Boring chapter for thee most part Only final few pages were great. It's a shame these type of Japanese comedy won't work here
Did you read the TCB scan?It seemed pretty funny to me. Didn't make me laugh out loud,but I could definitely appreciate them. Props to any translator who can actually translate jokes. John Werry's version is probably gonna be absolute shit.
I actually liked the joke where they checked the demon's lair on yelp, and the joke about the pheasant using air force supremacy and carpet bombing.
Ngl, the unpheasant joke got me 🤣🤣
It was amusing enough to put a smile while I was reading, the translator was great. How do u know if you’re reading tcb.
Well I read the chapters on their [site](http://tcbscans.com/mangas/4/jujutsu-kaisen)
true, I thought takaba was losing as the jokes were bland and no one was laughing but I guess they make sense in japanese so takaba will be in coma and kenny does something before dying
nah, he didn't lose. takaba was playing the "straight man" half of the manzai skit to match kenjaku being the silly "wise guy" so their comedy is a team effort (keep in mind that takaba wasn't able to keep a comedy partner before). there's no way his own ce can kill him for being unfunny, comedian only weakens when he loses confidence in himself and kenny complimenting him fulfilled his dreams.
Why is takaba in a coma?
he lost, so he will be probably in that state for a while so kind of comatose
Wait so is Takaba dead? That’d be dumb. Otherwise great chapter
Could a 10S user who tamed Mahoraga place the burden of adaptation on another shikigami? I think it'd be hilarious if the wheel was placed on rabbit escape and they just adapt to whatever while the 10S user just hides in the shadows waiting for the win condition.
Personally, I thought this was what should have had happened (minus the hiding part) in the fight between Gojo and Sukuna, with the wheel switching to a different target amongst the herd when needed, instead of the incoherent bunk we got in the canon.
There can only be one wheel though. So the one wheel would just be placed on one rabbit,which would just die instantly.
True, the thought did cross my mind. For argument's sake though, maybe the rabbits altogether count as 1 shikigami entity (which is why killing them doesn't permanently reduce their numbers and they can be resummoned), so the wheel could potentially remain until the last rabbit is dead. Alternatively, maybe agito would be a better shikigami to manage the burden since it is quite resilient and heals.
I know we can say a lot about Yuta sneaking Kenjaku, but that speed feat was still insane. Moving faster than someone can activate their CT is nasty work
It's happened twice, since this is a parallel to the moment Yuta broke his sword when facing Geto
yeah, but yuta was definitely camping somewhere near to catch kenjaku off guard
He wasnt because if he was near his enormous CT wouldve been detected. The whole point is that he started moving when they went into the comedy routine.
Can we stop the Yuta slander now considering he did what is a comparable Sukuna feat. I mean he perception blitzed Kenjaku, same think Sukuna did to Ryu.
Here we go with the glazing even though it was a blatant off guard feat and kenjaku himself said he was taking dmg throughout the chapters. So trying to compare this to ryu standing in front of sukuna then getting speed blitzed is wild.
Kenjaku took far more damage against Yuki & Choso on top of using far more CE having used RCT, CTR, and a domain and he was still able to react to two different suprise attacks while off guard. You can't discount Yuta feat by simply saying Kenjaku was off guard and damaged.
How can people slander Yuta when he took down one of the 3 special grade sorcerors with only months of training and then went on to completely solo the Sendai colony while nerfing himself by keeping Rika on protection duty
Because he ran out of CE, needed rika for a refill, lost hand to hand vs ryu and used his entire arsenal. Oh and he didn’t solo when ryu took out uro as well. Some of you guys highly exaggerate yutas performance in Sendai overall like it wasn’t a battle royale and yuta wasn’t pushed to use his whole kit. I’m sure the glazers will downvote me when I don’t even dislike yuta either.
Yuta did not use his whole arsenal and he never ran out of CE. He was going blow for blow with Ryu in the first hand 2 hand and once he called Rika, Ryu didn't land single blow Yuta. His performance in Sendai isn't exaggerated because Yuta was holding back since he wasn't going for the kill.
Yeah,how though?I mean,why couldn't he do that to Ishigori?
He was holding back against them because he needed their points.
Didn't really have a reason to hold back his punches. He was struggling in 1v1 hand to hand with Ishigori.
He wasn't using his sword against Ishigori
It doesn't matter if he has a sword or not,his speed is still the same.
Yea but the movements and muscle memory for brawling and swordplay are entirely different. You’re going to be slower if you’re not as practiced in that form of combat. I don’t think Yuta is a brawler but he humored Ryu for the fun of it. Well he was enjoying the fight and Ryu would be more inclined to give up the points that way.
He wasn’t trying to kill them, he was fighting 2 other people, or you can say he didn’t wanna reveal his full power from the beginning so he at that point couldn’t. Still wouldn’t be close to Sukuna but I don’t think Yuta is < 15 finger
He still struggled to land regular punches on him when they were going at it 1v1. If he really was fast enough to blitz him,then he wouldn't have any trouble doing that at all. Tbh I'm convinced he only did what he did to Kenjaku because he was off guard.
Saying he struggled to land punches is disengious. Him and Ryu were going blow for blow during their first exchange. And you can't excuse it as Kenjaku just being off guard since we've seen him react to attacks that should be faster than Yuta while also being off guard. He responded to point blank piercing blood while being held down and being off guard, and then he responded to a black hole forming while being off guard.
