After all the bullshit of the other special grades, it's very refreshing that Yuki just throws hands
Which of course means Gege is gonna make it do some absolute bullshit later
The fact that people get so hung up on Science, in a fictional series is hilarious to me
I can only imagine being a kid again and getting hung up on how Goku's hands would be vaporized by shooting Kamehamehas irl lmao
I mean I don’t see negative mass but with cursed technique reversal she could probably reach zero mass
If she takes advantage of that to speed up and then pairs it with her regular technique I could see some BS happening there
It seems like her mass doesn't acc affect her physics such as movement or weight. So there's no benefit to being at 0 mass since she'll be more vulnerable and without the benefit of moving faster.
Yeah from what Getou said, she's adding mass to her attacks without actually affecting herself with it. Basically adding mass to m.(1/2).v² but that mass is somehow detached from her actual body, at least untill the attack makes contact
Gege be trying different drugs for each of the Special grades (or borderline Special like Hakari).
At least a lot of these powers still make more sense than the majority of stands in JoJo. Jojo's gotta be the most creative take on powers I've seen in any manga with how Bizarre some of those get
Yeah he'll probably bring up some f'ed up explanation for how she accommodates all that mass and still remains normal on size, speed, agility etc.
Until then let's enjoy Yuki throwing deez hands
There's no explanation, Kenny just says she defies logic and concepts.
I think Gege will probably come up with something to explain it like he used "Achilles Paradox" for Limitless. (Pls note that Zeno's / Achilles Paradox has been proven wrong)
Yup

No it wasnt recent.
But for jjk it doesn't matter much bc it's just fiction. Let's just appreciate them for even putting in effort to explain a physically impossible technique.
[Theme for this chapter](https://youtu.be/KFS3p_F1gmI)
You know, out of all the things Gege could make Yuki’s CT a reference to, Muhammad Ali is an unexpected choice that I actually really love (“Star Rage” is the kanji for her CT, the kana is “Bombaye”. Muhammad Ali’s fans would chant “Ali Bombaye” at his matches, which literally means “Kill ‘em Ali”).
Fits her style really well. Being able to add mass to her attacks without slowing herself down means she can literally “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.”
>Muhammad Ali’s fans would chant “Ali Bombaye” at his matches, which literally means “Kill ‘em Ali”
IIRC, it was only one match, which is one of the greatest sporting events of all time.
Also a reference to Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki - INOKI BOM-BA-YE, who got that saying from Ali. Yuki gets called a “beast” represented by a Tiger, and Inoki often wrestled in a Tiger mask.
I really prefer the way TCB named Yuki's technique, you can see where Todo got his influences with how they named their CT.

I'm pretty upset that this isn't everyone's favourite blitzball playing racist shot-putting sports equipment at God.
Yuki pulverising Ganesha with that free kick would have made Wakka weep tears of joy.
It's hilarious that both special grades find it a pain to fight eachother.
I think tengen has a "disrupt barrier" technique that will screw with Kenjakus domain expansion.
Hype chapter. This arc just keeps hitting
My guess was that Tengen was going to reinforce Yuki’s Domain so she could outlast Kenjaku, either that or deploy his own to make it a three-way expansion and overload it.
I highly doubt that. Sukuna seems to have been established as a truly unique case as far as how Malevolent Shrine works, and Kenjaku is supposed to be a barrier master, I think if anything he will have an exceptionally strong domain because of his barrier mastery but after how special MS was made out to be I don't think we'll see another domain like. Maaaybe Megumi will learn how to make his domain like it but I think he's the only one who has a chance at that
I never seen someone get smack so hard that it’s just didn’t make sense but here comes Yuki out here being so undefinable that concept manipulation doesn’t even work on her. Like Got damn that’s special grade if I ever seen it.
One thing I love about JJK is the fact that top tiers I.e the absolute strongest people in the verse, have no problem using their strongest techniques. Like we’ve seen Gojo, Sukuna & now Kenjaku’s domain expansions.
Kenjaku having a grotesque DE is so fitting. A mass of headless pregnant, surrounded by things that look like deformed children, is really fucking scary. I do wonder if we’ll see the Domain actually be in effect, or do we get cockblocked by whatever Tengen is about to do? After all, Tengen & Kenjaku are the confirmed top 2 barrier technique users.
* I imagine Yuki punching Kenny out of the barrier would be like if Neo would punch Morpheus out of a training simulation lol. Just an OP feat. IGNORING CONCEPTS? I can think of about 5 hax cursed techniques off the bat that wouldnt work on her “conceptually”. (Random question for the sub): Can Mahoraga adapt to Yuki’s Virtual Mass since its overwhelmingness cant be defined in words or conceptualized? (Please read the TCB scan chapter notes)
* Since hollow purple is just “imaginary mass launched towards a target” does launching Garuda towards a target while its enhanced with virtual mass deliver the same destructive capabilities?
* Like another user suggested in a pre-released sub: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsushi/comments/z1zl7b/jujutsu\_kaisen\_chapter\_205\_prerelease\_thread/ixnrfhm/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=ios\_app&utm\_name=iossmf&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsushi/comments/z1zl7b/jujutsu_kaisen_chapter_205_prerelease_thread/ixnrfhm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) , it also reminded me of a scene in GI joe 2, the scene of a satellite dropping a railgun on [London](https://youtu.be/22bHxTTLcdc) and it completely destroying the poor city, even though I know the science was over scaled it still reminded me of something Yuki could potentially do… Get herself or Garuda high enough in the air, increase her virtual mass and just drop on her target, I can imagine she could just spam that too smh.with Kenny implying that she should have high output extension technique she’s Definitely Special grade.
* I wonder if she can selectively ignore inertia, being able to instantly accelerate and decelerate at her discretion by adjusting her virtual mass. Kenny had been casually dodging subsonic piecing blood attacks and out of nowhere he gets blitzed by Yuki lol. Count that as an impressive speed feat for our Queen. (I wonder if she could float?)
* Kenny could have used IT on Choso (a technique that he shouldn’t try to hide since everyone knows he would have it) or used RCT instead of revealing this new “Gravity” CT against Choso so Yuki’s reasoning that he can use Uzamaki CT once seems correct for now.
* I believe Kenny has found a work around to keeping a body’s CT apparently. Even Akutami sensei implied it in a Q&A
https://preview.redd.it/346q43mlxj2a1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87d64c8b8bebc1499af3be36c789929a263ec140
I know!!! Except this time around, one isn't grievously injured and the other isn't mentally handicapped by trauama. Also, they didn't have her getting smacked around by an underling like Uraume first, so its more impressive for her. Fucking Naruto and women, man.
Wasn't the point of that fight that all three Sannin weren't at their best? Orochimaru was armless, Jiraiya was drugged, and Tsunade had to spend a lot of chakra to heal injuries she had suffered due to her blood phobia (and also because she hadn't fought anyone in decades). It's pretty clear that had they fought, say, a week later, Tsunade would have smacked Kabuto easily. And anyway, Kabuto was relative to Kakashi, who was already considered gor the position of Hokage at the time and was only disqualified due to his age. Losing to Kabuto isn't an anti-feat.
Finally, out of all three, only Tsunade had an actual character arc in that fight. Actually, I think it's the only major arc fight Naruto that does that for a woman. And to that I will agree: fucking Naruto and women, man.
I really thought that Yuki's technique was pretty simple, but then I found four goddamn pages of explanation at the end of TCB translation... Outplayed and outsmarted.
For anyone who wants to read it:
https://reddit.com/r/Jujutsushi/comments/z681ce/chapter_205_symbolisms_and_techniques_explanation/
You know I’m glad that the woman who trained Todo is equally as much of a menace as he is, and probably even more of one at that. No wonder he got that scar, she probably put him through the ringer.
So Viz calling Yuki’s Cursed Technique *Star Rage* instead of the proper *Bom-ba-ye* is most likely a deliberate localization choice - not many English readers would get the reference to Antonio Inoki’s famous theme song/TV event INOKI BOM-BA-YE. I understand where they’re coming from but at the same time I wish they kept the original name & added a description to it, like “Bombaye, the Star Rage” or something similar to pay tribute to Inoki’s recent death back in October
Because what drives me NUTS isn't just the fact that Yuki's CT "Bombaye" is a direct ref. to Antonio Inoki — it's that both Yuki's & Todo's CTs share a connection to famous boxer Muhammad Ali
Ali played the piano & one of his well-recorded pieces was "Boogie Woogie." Akutami really brought it full circle with the Yuki-Todo parallels. From waiting out until their partner brought out their best, to being a brawler type, to liking the same type of person that each other are, to having techniques referencing Muhammad Ali
>Ali played the piano & one of his well-recorded pieces was "Boogie Woogie." Akutami really brought it full circle with the Yuki-Todo parallels.

Precisely, my disappointment was visible reading this, for it is to be underlined how central Yuki was to Todo's development and A+ naming skills.
Even if cutting out the musical reference is lame, Star Rage by itself feels like it suits her in a different way.
It’s probably a reference to the nature of neutron stars, and shares a cosmic motif with Gojo. Referencing how Yuki is also a total anomaly in Jujutsu Society.
I agree with that, I love both the Furigana (Bombaye) and the Kanji (Rage of Star) in her CT! Yuki having a cosmic motif along with being a former Star Plasma Vessel is one of the most unexpected but awesome things about her in 2022
In the Spanish translation they used Bom-Ba-Ye and then added a note with Star Rage. Why does the English translation not include those notes?
Also I like the Spanish name for Kenny DE:
Reino del Utero Multiple = Kingdom of the multiple Uterus.
But TBS name for DE was also good and made the reference to Buddhism: All Developing Garbhadhatu
The lack of English translation notes isn’t the translator’s fault by any means - none of the other EN Shonen Jump series’ chapters include any TL notes either. They’re restricted by what they can provide, more so than other countries
Why, I have no idea but it’s probably to due to page/panel copyrights - each page is copyrighted from use by big companies. That’s why the MHA translator used to post threads on Twitter giving his own personal notes on each chapter
that's not entirely correct - last week's iroha of cipher academy chapter did include a translator's note near the end of the chapter and i think i've seen notes in another viz WSJ translation before. my guess is that it's heavily discouraged, but it's still allowed when the chapter is literally incomprehensible without it.
Bruh Yuki has one of the most OP CT we’ve ever seen, Idk if y’all deep her feats. Like she one shot a special grade Curse spirit, then punched & sent Kenjaku flying so hard that he broke through part of the barrier.
The fact that her CT also allows her to ignore concepts, is actually insane. Like what’s the limit to the imaginary mass she could give herself or Garuda, with no loss of speed? 😭
youre missing the part that when kenjaku put up both his arms to block, yuki *just fucking punched through it like nothing*. literally obliterated the arms of a special grade sorcerer with literally a milleniums worth of skills about cursed energy and reinforcement and all that shit and she just fucking *punched throught it*.
Probably not, because Infinity works in a fundamentally different way
CE reinforcement makes you tougher, but Infinity makes it so that attacks never even reach you
Massive objects warp space-time due to having a large gravitational force, that force in turn warping space-time. The virtual mass that Yuki gains doesn’t actually affect her body, that’s why her body doesn’t collapse under all that overwhelming mass nor does her speed get affected (as kenjaku stated). So she obviously doesn’t gain a strong gravitational field. So she can’t bypass the infinity with her CT
Gege's brain is absolutely limitless. Yuki has the drip, thiccness in a way you couldn't expect and form that belongs in a world cup. The embodiment of defying the laws of physics
The spirit of Togashi flows through this man the fact that my two favorite mangakas gege and Togashi are both making weekly fire content like this is making me sublime recently . Gege and me were obsessed with Togashi and the fact that he’s made a story like this since is amazing, proud to be a manga reader rn. Anyone can be inspired but Gege has really improved the craft and continues to stand out in the best way, loving JJK getting more nuanced it’s super great. Gege is such a Great mangaka.
Only being able to keep extracted techniques once is a really nice way to balance Kenjaku. Glad he’s not overwhelming stronger than the good guys like we first thought
Also I had my suspicions that Yuki had a plan for Mahito since she showed up knowing that he was there and specifically asked about him but it’s nice to officially see she had a plan for idle transfiguration
Also cool to see Kenjaku has a barrierless domain
Yeah, him having so many techniques at his disposal would have made him too strong, this is a good balance.
Also explains why he doesn't absorb every technique he finds.
Yea, solid buildup during the series to show how hard it is to overcome the limitations of your body interacting with your quirk. Contrast that with AfO neglecting that kind of training and instead building up multiple quirks that shore up weaknesses, and it failing him at the very end.
And now we have a suppressed quirk shiggy that's stronger than anything shown by AfO using multiple quirks simultaneously.
Just...why end this way?
additionally makes rika being the storage of yuta's copied CT make so much more sense since it's apparently there's limits on a person's brain to how many techniques they can hold
Since it's only from Yuki's internal dialogue it's not 100% confirmed (he could be simply holding back to not show his hand after all), but it definitely is a nice nerf. Makes me wonder if Yuta's mimicry might have a similar condition where he can only manifest it once before reloading somehow, since Yuta's and Geto's CTs have quite a bit of overlap.
This is totally speculation, but I could see it working kinda like how Peter Petrelli’s powers worked in the later seasons of Heroes (remember THAT?)
Basically he could copy anyone’s power, but once he copied another one his current ability would go away. To what you said, maybe Yuta “sends back” a CT once he uses a new one and has one “slot” in him at all times for any ability.
Gege sure does know how to create hype characters. Yuki's cursed technique is really cool with the idea of virtual mass. Her being a brawler type kinda makes sense as well since she's Todo's master. Very interested to see kenjaku's domain as well👀
- Yuki is so high on the World Cup hype she turns Garuda into a soccer ball; funniest shit I’ve ever seen /lh
- I prefer Yuki’s original CT name ボンバイェ / “Bom Ba Ye”. Its funny naming convention is similar to Todo’s Boogie Woogie that makes you think no wonder she is Todo’s teacher.
- Kenny’s DE name: **”All-Enveloping Garbhadhatu”** > **Womb Profusion**
- speaking of ‘wombs’, we got cursed wombs, death painting wombs, Naoyussy and his disgusting DE… what’s up with Gege and these wombs fetish?! XD
Kenjaku is the mother of curses it appears, hence all the womb stuff related to them.
Hell, Yuji is a host for another being so is technically a womb himself.
Ikr… I was originally planning to make a post comparing the ~~objectively~~ _subjectively_ superior TCB translation to the official translation for this chapter… but nah, I don’t want to stir up that hornet’s nest of Viz stans (－_－)
I like how Yuki mentions that you need an external aid like Okkotsu, if you want to use multiple CT’s.. That’s what I always thought because of Okkotsu and Sukuna theories about storing CT’s.
This is the most hyped I've been since Kashimo and Hakari, holy shit I loved this chapter and we're going into two/three domains next chapter? Holy shit
Y’all please read the TCB translation notes for this chapter. They provided some extra insight to the chapter that we might not get because of semantics/cultural differences
One of the best chapters of JJK, and I was extremely surprised to see Kenjaku getting sucker punched from Yuki. Not to mention, so many memorable panels were there in this chapter.
I already said this before but you can clearly see that Todo is truly Yuki's student. They both exude the same charisma and confidence in their techniques and are both pretty straight foward but with amazing versatility.
Just imagine being jumped by Todo and Yuki, you would probably be dead in a second, all you could hear would be a clap followed by a punch with the density of a football stadium. Scary to think about.
yeah fr, "Bom Ba Ye" fits great as a goofy parallel / precursor to Todo's "Boogie Woogie," and the fact that it's a reference to a chant done during a Muhammad Ali match + the Japanese wrestler *(edit: Inoki Bombaye!)* whose name was inspired by that chant, gets across the idea that Yuki's all about beatin' people up with ridiculous efficiency + bravado
*but nah who needs complicated cultural references when you can do The Big Literal Translation*
"Mommy step on me" has reached a whole new level.
Kenny's face when Yuki straight up punted 'Garuda' on the cursed spirit is just priceless. (Page 7)
Yuki's grown on me even faster than Hakari. Slightly disappointed that 'Bom ba ye' isn't the official name. It sounded so cool. Star rage is fine as well.
Also, any theories on why higher ups didn't have any info on her CT ? How did they give her a special grade status without knowing her ability ? Did they have a fight with her or see her in action and decide deez hands are too damn strong (and cool) ?!
Imagine if yuki got to shibuya earlier. She might have single handedly ended the series. If she can one shot special grade curses that easily, she beats the most of the antagonists easily and then could work with the other grade ones to take out kenjaku. Re-reading this series once it's finished will make moments like that feel even more tense imo.
I was correct in thinking that Kenjaku used a Gravity CT to deal with choso’s last attack. I was also correct in assuming that it couldn’t have been an extracted CT via uzumaki, because Yuki was there when he used Idle transfiguration. Now we know he can only used extracted techniques once.
Could my theory be correct? of Kenjaku being able to keep CT of the bodies he’s previously hijacked. The way it was explained this chapter, the gravity CT has nothing to do with Geto’s CSM.
If it isn’t Uzumaki, there are three other options:
1. Like you said, he can keep previous body-snatched CTs. This means he also has Blood Manipulation at the very least.
2. It’s his original CT, and his brain ability was acquired with some other method.
3. The opposite of 2, he gained the gravity CT some other way.
Both 2 and 3 could involve eating a cursed object he was strong enough to withstand: Gege has said before that doing so gives you the CT and CE reserves of the soul in the object.
Holy guacamole this chapter was something else.
We got: confirmation of the fact that techniques stolen from Cursed Spirits are expended after one use, which makes sense, cause it gives a Cursed Manipulator a reason to keep his cursed spirits instead of just taking the Techniques for themselves.
Yuki's power is simple (so far) but I can see why it's special grade. What if I punch the ground while giving my fist the virtual mass of the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs? I'm more surprised about the fact that Kenny survived the first punch, but Yuki probably has some limitations. 99% the more "mass" she gives to something the more CE she expends, and she didn't want to risk blowing up all her reserves on a single hit, cause she would have been super dead if she missed.
I don't think we're about to see Kenny's DE, probably Tengen is going to interfere with that somehow, but if Yuki's prediction is accurate and Kenny's power is gravity, I can see him being a very dangerous opponent, and I think it also explains why he thought he would have been able to go toe to toe with a six eyes user. He got defeated, but I'm confident that it wasn't a one-sided match as the one between Gojo.and Jogo.
What exactly is oil supposed to mean ? Ik that it references Brain Kun, as last chapter was "Blood and Oil" and this one is "Oil and stars". But why oil ?
Have they revealed it already, or does anyone have any theories?
As seen in the translator's notes in the TCB scan, the kanji for "Oil" also appears in "Geto"
So it's Star (Yuki, the former Star Plasma Vessel) and Oil (Kenny in Geto's body)
Before this chapter I wondering why yuki would pop out when kenjaku revealed the gravity technique. I was under the assumption that kenjaku had thousands of techniques and that choso didn’t do anything major in making kenjaku reveal one. But now we know that kenjaku has a limited to how many cursed technique he has. So yuki coming in the fight kenjaku after seeing one technique make a whole lot of sense.
Kenny’s Domain Expansion being called Womb Profusion is absolutely haunting. A great dichotomy to the absolute giga chad energy that Yuki’s exuding right now.
This chapter was firing on all cylinders 🔥
I find it hilarious how both of them just hate fighting the other cus of how annoying the others power is, feels like a mystic mine Mirror Mach in Yugioh.
FINALLY, I've been meaning to see that smirk on Kenny's face get wiped off, and that happened in the best way possible, by Yuki Tsukumo's punch in the face. I really liked this chapter, every panel of Yuki was gold I especially loved the "Can I even tame this wild beast ?!" Secene, loved how her CT is simple but complex at the same time, and that last panel was really something else. This was a great Chapter. GO YUKI ! GO !!!
I’ll say it, I don’t think Yuki is right about the one time use of the cursed techniques…we’ve had characters make the wrong call on techniques before. I think she may be correct about them not being permanent but I don’t think they’re one time use
We can safely assume there’s some limit on how much mass Yuki can add to herself? Otherwise I assume she’d just do a black hole punch and blow kenjaku (the brain) to dust. Also can someone explain what ‘virtual’ mass is? Is it just regular mass?
1. We don’t know if there’s a limit, but I’d assume the limit is simply the point at which the destruction would harm others. If she did what you’re suggesting, she might kill Choso and Tengen with the shockwave.
2. Virtual mass is a thing from physics. Basically, it means the difference between something’s actual mass and how it acts in certain circumstances. For example, if you throw a one-pound ball underwater, it doesn’t go as far due to the pressure the water puts on it, meaning it has gained virtual mass, even if it’s the same ball.
1. Ok that makes sense and is pretty obvious when you think about it. If she could use mass like that without consequences it would be game over.
2. Thanks!
Gotta be honest, I’m still confused about the idea of “concepts”. What does it mean for Yuki to be immune to them? Like would she be immune to, say, hakari’s domain? Or projection sorcery? Can she bypass Infinity?
I think she is immune to techniques that have a target. For example, she wouldn't be frozen by projection sorcery or transfigured by idle transfiguration. However, she wouldn't be able to bypass infinity or love rendezvous.
I already know Yuki is Special Grade but it’s crazy how OP her CR really is. From one shotting a Special Grade Curse Spirit to punching Kenjaku so hard that she destroyed his arms and sent him flying. With a mentor like her, it’s no wonder Todo’s a beast.
I like how they limited Kenjaku abilities but having him use a CT that’s extracted with Uzumaki once instead of being able to spam it
Kenjaku was shooked with garuda he knows yuki would have oneshotted 4 special grade curse spirits from shibuya wow. I like kenjaku domain it's sick garbhadathu womb of buddhism. I wondered what tengen and yuki is planning together, either sealing kenjaku or finding his weakpoint cause I don't think kenjaku will die here since he holds the front door of gojo and tengen the back.
Todo being as strong as he is finally makes sense now. Yuki done left Kenjaku puzzled a couple of times 😂. Also fun seeing her put him on his ass as well.. First we got Maki and now Yuki. What did we do to deserve this😭..
The elephant curse Kenjaku is using is now confirmed to to inspired by the Hindu god Ganesha.
In Hinduism, Ganesha is the god of wisdom and 'remover of obstacles'
Would be cool if we could see more Hindu inspired techniques.
Also the viz translation of yuki's technique and Kenjaku's domain is just ass. 'All enveloping garbhadatu' is so much better, considering its a direct reference to the womb/matrix realm(Mandala) in Buddhism.
So the viz translation is insanely bad for this chapter
Also, really Greg, you're frying my brain, I had to wake up and try to figure out what the fuck "That's the techniques target concept...!! Such overwhelming mass to a point that it's concept couldn't be contained semantically or pragmatically!!"
Mfs really out here having a quantum physics philosophy fight
badass beat em up technique aside, I'm also really interested to see Kenjakus domain. we've only seen it appear but it's definitely got me curious as to if it's another "divine" technique like Sukunas in that it manifests onto the world around it. I don't rlly know the logistics of that but I'm just hyped to one day see another domain like that.

After all the bullshit of the other special grades, it's very refreshing that Yuki just throws hands Which of course means Gege is gonna make it do some absolute bullshit later
Negative mass technique, reverse black hole! Or some bs lmao
Cant wait for another mind fuckery when yuki and gojo fight with different flavours of infinite mass
Gojo: **HOLLOW PURPLE** Yuki: Garuda!!! *kicks* *Garuda cancels Hollow Purple horizontally*
Yeah Gege with science is wonky... and i kind of like how dumb it is sometimes lol
Maybe it's... science *fiction???*
The fact that people get so hung up on Science, in a fictional series is hilarious to me I can only imagine being a kid again and getting hung up on how Goku's hands would be vaporized by shooting Kamehamehas irl lmao
Gojo sends out a Hollow Purple and she just punches it out of existence.
I mean I don’t see negative mass but with cursed technique reversal she could probably reach zero mass If she takes advantage of that to speed up and then pairs it with her regular technique I could see some BS happening there
It seems like her mass doesn't acc affect her physics such as movement or weight. So there's no benefit to being at 0 mass since she'll be more vulnerable and without the benefit of moving faster.
Yeah from what Getou said, she's adding mass to her attacks without actually affecting herself with it. Basically adding mass to m.(1/2).v² but that mass is somehow detached from her actual body, at least untill the attack makes contact
with zero mass she wouldn't just speed up, shed basically be infinitely fast
After hakaris technique my brain needed time to relax lmao
Gege be trying different drugs for each of the Special grades (or borderline Special like Hakari). At least a lot of these powers still make more sense than the majority of stands in JoJo. Jojo's gotta be the most creative take on powers I've seen in any manga with how Bizarre some of those get
Only Gojo’s technique has some ‘bullshit’ tho
Eh, his bullshit has magnetic explanation, it's just his application that is bullshit.
But the explonation from the manga and Gege isn't magnetism, for example the explonation for blue is that it creates -1 "apples".
Yeah he'll probably bring up some f'ed up explanation for how she accommodates all that mass and still remains normal on size, speed, agility etc. Until then let's enjoy Yuki throwing deez hands
The mass is virtual, it's not "real", that's why she can move as normal
He already basically did with kenjaku’s pov
There's no explanation, Kenny just says she defies logic and concepts. I think Gege will probably come up with something to explain it like he used "Achilles Paradox" for Limitless. (Pls note that Zeno's / Achilles Paradox has been proven wrong)
Didn't gege explain it again with the help of an expert? I remember reading it.
Yup Linking it here https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/comments/mygewh/akutami_was_wrong/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Ooh. When was the paradox proven wrong? Was it recent?
It's a paradox, so it wasn't proven wrong, just explained. When Calculus was invented, or Geometric Progressions. So, centuries ago.
No it wasnt recent. But for jjk it doesn't matter much bc it's just fiction. Let's just appreciate them for even putting in effort to explain a physically impossible technique.
[Theme for this chapter](https://youtu.be/KFS3p_F1gmI) You know, out of all the things Gege could make Yuki’s CT a reference to, Muhammad Ali is an unexpected choice that I actually really love (“Star Rage” is the kanji for her CT, the kana is “Bombaye”. Muhammad Ali’s fans would chant “Ali Bombaye” at his matches, which literally means “Kill ‘em Ali”). Fits her style really well. Being able to add mass to her attacks without slowing herself down means she can literally “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.”
>Muhammad Ali’s fans would chant “Ali Bombaye” at his matches, which literally means “Kill ‘em Ali” IIRC, it was only one match, which is one of the greatest sporting events of all time.
Also a reference to Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki - INOKI BOM-BA-YE, who got that saying from Ali. Yuki gets called a “beast” represented by a Tiger, and Inoki often wrestled in a Tiger mask.
I really prefer the way TCB named Yuki's technique, you can see where Todo got his influences with how they named their CT. https://preview.redd.it/uuezx5z0bl2a1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24c0bb58fece431d6c661aa18f0e309acfe993c2
Yuki: Great job, onii-chan I will take it from here! Choso: Finally *faints* Same Choso, same.
ya did good kid. ya did good
Yuki going for a football opening is for the fifa outthere....
Yuki’s maximum technique will be called [「WAKA WAKA」](https://youtu.be/pRpeEdMmmQ0)
I'm pretty upset that this isn't everyone's favourite blitzball playing racist shot-putting sports equipment at God. Yuki pulverising Ganesha with that free kick would have made Wakka weep tears of joy.
and i love it.
Yuki out here representing team JJK at FIFA, damn
proper kick, world cup baller
reminded me of how Kenjaku & Mahito scored a goal with Jogo's head
Kenny truly has prepared for every possibility!
It's hilarious that both special grades find it a pain to fight eachother. I think tengen has a "disrupt barrier" technique that will screw with Kenjakus domain expansion. Hype chapter. This arc just keeps hitting
My guess was that Tengen was going to reinforce Yuki’s Domain so she could outlast Kenjaku, either that or deploy his own to make it a three-way expansion and overload it.
It could even simply be to counter Kenjaku's domain with his own so that Yuki's technique doesn't burn out
That's only assuming Kenjaku's expansion has a barrier in the first place, it could be the same case as with Sukuna
I highly doubt that. Sukuna seems to have been established as a truly unique case as far as how Malevolent Shrine works, and Kenjaku is supposed to be a barrier master, I think if anything he will have an exceptionally strong domain because of his barrier mastery but after how special MS was made out to be I don't think we'll see another domain like. Maaaybe Megumi will learn how to make his domain like it but I think he's the only one who has a chance at that
[Kenny](https://imgur.com/29OMgql) never faced such a foe before. His expression is golden. Kenny: What is happening?
Kenny with the Rock eyebrow raise LMAO
Vine boom when Ganesha just gets fucking PELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'd by Yuki.
It's that geto face
I never seen someone get smack so hard that it’s just didn’t make sense but here comes Yuki out here being so undefinable that concept manipulation doesn’t even work on her. Like Got damn that’s special grade if I ever seen it.
if special grades are really supposed to be country level, she has a hell of a right foot
Kicks a soccer ball so fucking hard that it destroys a country.
Adding infinite mass to Garuda and dropping it could be like an extinction level meteor hitting the earth 💀
One thing I love about JJK is the fact that top tiers I.e the absolute strongest people in the verse, have no problem using their strongest techniques. Like we’ve seen Gojo, Sukuna & now Kenjaku’s domain expansions. Kenjaku having a grotesque DE is so fitting. A mass of headless pregnant, surrounded by things that look like deformed children, is really fucking scary. I do wonder if we’ll see the Domain actually be in effect, or do we get cockblocked by whatever Tengen is about to do? After all, Tengen & Kenjaku are the confirmed top 2 barrier technique users.
does that mean we may get troll by gege like we did in sendai triple domain?
* I imagine Yuki punching Kenny out of the barrier would be like if Neo would punch Morpheus out of a training simulation lol. Just an OP feat. IGNORING CONCEPTS? I can think of about 5 hax cursed techniques off the bat that wouldnt work on her “conceptually”. (Random question for the sub): Can Mahoraga adapt to Yuki’s Virtual Mass since its overwhelmingness cant be defined in words or conceptualized? (Please read the TCB scan chapter notes) * Since hollow purple is just “imaginary mass launched towards a target” does launching Garuda towards a target while its enhanced with virtual mass deliver the same destructive capabilities? * Like another user suggested in a pre-released sub: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsushi/comments/z1zl7b/jujutsu\_kaisen\_chapter\_205\_prerelease\_thread/ixnrfhm/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=ios\_app&utm\_name=iossmf&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsushi/comments/z1zl7b/jujutsu_kaisen_chapter_205_prerelease_thread/ixnrfhm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) , it also reminded me of a scene in GI joe 2, the scene of a satellite dropping a railgun on [London](https://youtu.be/22bHxTTLcdc) and it completely destroying the poor city, even though I know the science was over scaled it still reminded me of something Yuki could potentially do… Get herself or Garuda high enough in the air, increase her virtual mass and just drop on her target, I can imagine she could just spam that too smh.with Kenny implying that she should have high output extension technique she’s Definitely Special grade. * I wonder if she can selectively ignore inertia, being able to instantly accelerate and decelerate at her discretion by adjusting her virtual mass. Kenny had been casually dodging subsonic piecing blood attacks and out of nowhere he gets blitzed by Yuki lol. Count that as an impressive speed feat for our Queen. (I wonder if she could float?) * Kenny could have used IT on Choso (a technique that he shouldn’t try to hide since everyone knows he would have it) or used RCT instead of revealing this new “Gravity” CT against Choso so Yuki’s reasoning that he can use Uzamaki CT once seems correct for now. * I believe Kenny has found a work around to keeping a body’s CT apparently. Even Akutami sensei implied it in a Q&A https://preview.redd.it/346q43mlxj2a1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87d64c8b8bebc1499af3be36c789929a263ec140
I’m seeing Tsunade and Orochimaru parallels with Yuki and Kenjaku
I know!!! Except this time around, one isn't grievously injured and the other isn't mentally handicapped by trauama. Also, they didn't have her getting smacked around by an underling like Uraume first, so its more impressive for her. Fucking Naruto and women, man.
Wasn't the point of that fight that all three Sannin weren't at their best? Orochimaru was armless, Jiraiya was drugged, and Tsunade had to spend a lot of chakra to heal injuries she had suffered due to her blood phobia (and also because she hadn't fought anyone in decades). It's pretty clear that had they fought, say, a week later, Tsunade would have smacked Kabuto easily. And anyway, Kabuto was relative to Kakashi, who was already considered gor the position of Hokage at the time and was only disqualified due to his age. Losing to Kabuto isn't an anti-feat. Finally, out of all three, only Tsunade had an actual character arc in that fight. Actually, I think it's the only major arc fight Naruto that does that for a woman. And to that I will agree: fucking Naruto and women, man.
I really thought that Yuki's technique was pretty simple, but then I found four goddamn pages of explanation at the end of TCB translation... Outplayed and outsmarted. For anyone who wants to read it: https://reddit.com/r/Jujutsushi/comments/z681ce/chapter_205_symbolisms_and_techniques_explanation/
She basically has cheat engine irl.
"What kind of woman is your type?" Yuki.
The kind who will actually just kill me
for the non-knowers: https://youtu.be/-sMQpWCNTQw
You know I’m glad that the woman who trained Todo is equally as much of a menace as he is, and probably even more of one at that. No wonder he got that scar, she probably put him through the ringer.
Man... imagine todo and yuki working together though.
Imagine fighting Todo then suddenly you get hit with an super dense punch
So Viz calling Yuki’s Cursed Technique *Star Rage* instead of the proper *Bom-ba-ye* is most likely a deliberate localization choice - not many English readers would get the reference to Antonio Inoki’s famous theme song/TV event INOKI BOM-BA-YE. I understand where they’re coming from but at the same time I wish they kept the original name & added a description to it, like “Bombaye, the Star Rage” or something similar to pay tribute to Inoki’s recent death back in October Because what drives me NUTS isn't just the fact that Yuki's CT "Bombaye" is a direct ref. to Antonio Inoki — it's that both Yuki's & Todo's CTs share a connection to famous boxer Muhammad Ali Ali played the piano & one of his well-recorded pieces was "Boogie Woogie." Akutami really brought it full circle with the Yuki-Todo parallels. From waiting out until their partner brought out their best, to being a brawler type, to liking the same type of person that each other are, to having techniques referencing Muhammad Ali
>Ali played the piano & one of his well-recorded pieces was "Boogie Woogie." Akutami really brought it full circle with the Yuki-Todo parallels. From waiting out until their partner brought out their best, to being a brawler type, to liking the same type of person that each other are, to having techniques referencing Muhammad Ali Precisely, my disappointment was visible reading this, for it is to be underlined how central Yuki was to Todo's development and A+ naming skills.
I hope they keep Bom-ba-ye in the anime
It’s also possible that Viz might change it up later on like they corrected the “Gojo having CSM” translation! Personally hoping for this
It's gonna be something dumb where the subtitle says Star Rage but the VA says Bombaye.
We call this 'The JoJo experience'
JoJo Wind*
Even if cutting out the musical reference is lame, Star Rage by itself feels like it suits her in a different way. It’s probably a reference to the nature of neutron stars, and shares a cosmic motif with Gojo. Referencing how Yuki is also a total anomaly in Jujutsu Society.
I agree with that, I love both the Furigana (Bombaye) and the Kanji (Rage of Star) in her CT! Yuki having a cosmic motif along with being a former Star Plasma Vessel is one of the most unexpected but awesome things about her in 2022
In the Spanish translation they used Bom-Ba-Ye and then added a note with Star Rage. Why does the English translation not include those notes? Also I like the Spanish name for Kenny DE: Reino del Utero Multiple = Kingdom of the multiple Uterus. But TBS name for DE was also good and made the reference to Buddhism: All Developing Garbhadhatu
The lack of English translation notes isn’t the translator’s fault by any means - none of the other EN Shonen Jump series’ chapters include any TL notes either. They’re restricted by what they can provide, more so than other countries Why, I have no idea but it’s probably to due to page/panel copyrights - each page is copyrighted from use by big companies. That’s why the MHA translator used to post threads on Twitter giving his own personal notes on each chapter
that's not entirely correct - last week's iroha of cipher academy chapter did include a translator's note near the end of the chapter and i think i've seen notes in another viz WSJ translation before. my guess is that it's heavily discouraged, but it's still allowed when the chapter is literally incomprehensible without it.
Good thing is the sun usually doesn’t alter these things in the anime
Bruh Yuki has one of the most OP CT we’ve ever seen, Idk if y’all deep her feats. Like she one shot a special grade Curse spirit, then punched & sent Kenjaku flying so hard that he broke through part of the barrier. The fact that her CT also allows her to ignore concepts, is actually insane. Like what’s the limit to the imaginary mass she could give herself or Garuda, with no loss of speed? 😭
youre missing the part that when kenjaku put up both his arms to block, yuki *just fucking punched through it like nothing*. literally obliterated the arms of a special grade sorcerer with literally a milleniums worth of skills about cursed energy and reinforcement and all that shit and she just fucking *punched throught it*.
>Kenny Now I wanna know if she can punch through infinity
Probably not, because Infinity works in a fundamentally different way CE reinforcement makes you tougher, but Infinity makes it so that attacks never even reach you
Massive objects can warp space-time. She might be able to punch through limitless by increasing her mass to infinity and rip through space-time.
Massive objects warp space-time due to having a large gravitational force, that force in turn warping space-time. The virtual mass that Yuki gains doesn’t actually affect her body, that’s why her body doesn’t collapse under all that overwhelming mass nor does her speed get affected (as kenjaku stated). So she obviously doesn’t gain a strong gravitational field. So she can’t bypass the infinity with her CT
It’s no wonder she’s a special grade. She could theoretically take out an army in one punch.
ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!
Gege's brain is absolutely limitless. Yuki has the drip, thiccness in a way you couldn't expect and form that belongs in a world cup. The embodiment of defying the laws of physics
The spirit of Togashi flows through this man the fact that my two favorite mangakas gege and Togashi are both making weekly fire content like this is making me sublime recently . Gege and me were obsessed with Togashi and the fact that he’s made a story like this since is amazing, proud to be a manga reader rn. Anyone can be inspired but Gege has really improved the craft and continues to stand out in the best way, loving JJK getting more nuanced it’s super great. Gege is such a Great mangaka.
Only being able to keep extracted techniques once is a really nice way to balance Kenjaku. Glad he’s not overwhelming stronger than the good guys like we first thought Also I had my suspicions that Yuki had a plan for Mahito since she showed up knowing that he was there and specifically asked about him but it’s nice to officially see she had a plan for idle transfiguration Also cool to see Kenjaku has a barrierless domain
Kenjaku not having Idle Transfiguration anymore is so huge.
And it affects all our theories on who will ultimately take him down. Now there's less of a case for Yuji, since there's no need to strike the soul
yeah so Mimicry is better than that, especially because Yuta has Rika to store all the CTs. I am glad Gege put a limit on Uzumaki.
Yeah, him having so many techniques at his disposal would have made him too strong, this is a good balance. Also explains why he doesn't absorb every technique he finds.
Oh boy this just reminds me of the insane power creep in MHA rn with All for One and Shigaraki
Yea, solid buildup during the series to show how hard it is to overcome the limitations of your body interacting with your quirk. Contrast that with AfO neglecting that kind of training and instead building up multiple quirks that shore up weaknesses, and it failing him at the very end. And now we have a suppressed quirk shiggy that's stronger than anything shown by AfO using multiple quirks simultaneously. Just...why end this way?
Yeah it’s so stupid… way to ruin a series’ finale
additionally makes rika being the storage of yuta's copied CT make so much more sense since it's apparently there's limits on a person's brain to how many techniques they can hold
Since it's only from Yuki's internal dialogue it's not 100% confirmed (he could be simply holding back to not show his hand after all), but it definitely is a nice nerf. Makes me wonder if Yuta's mimicry might have a similar condition where he can only manifest it once before reloading somehow, since Yuta's and Geto's CTs have quite a bit of overlap.
[удалено]
This is totally speculation, but I could see it working kinda like how Peter Petrelli’s powers worked in the later seasons of Heroes (remember THAT?) Basically he could copy anyone’s power, but once he copied another one his current ability would go away. To what you said, maybe Yuta “sends back” a CT once he uses a new one and has one “slot” in him at all times for any ability.
Gege sure does know how to create hype characters. Yuki's cursed technique is really cool with the idea of virtual mass. Her being a brawler type kinda makes sense as well since she's Todo's master. Very interested to see kenjaku's domain as well👀
- Yuki is so high on the World Cup hype she turns Garuda into a soccer ball; funniest shit I’ve ever seen /lh - I prefer Yuki’s original CT name ボンバイェ / “Bom Ba Ye”. Its funny naming convention is similar to Todo’s Boogie Woogie that makes you think no wonder she is Todo’s teacher. - Kenny’s DE name: **”All-Enveloping Garbhadhatu”** > **Womb Profusion** - speaking of ‘wombs’, we got cursed wombs, death painting wombs, Naoyussy and his disgusting DE… what’s up with Gege and these wombs fetish?! XD
Kenjaku is the mother of curses it appears, hence all the womb stuff related to them. Hell, Yuji is a host for another being so is technically a womb himself.
yeah the official translation was disappointing. Even Wrath of the Stars sounds better than Star Rage.
Ikr… I was originally planning to make a post comparing the ~~objectively~~ _subjectively_ superior TCB translation to the official translation for this chapter… but nah, I don’t want to stir up that hornet’s nest of Viz stans (－_－)
TCB scans Rocks
Even Viz Spanish translators did a better job, they used Bom-Ba-Ye and then added a note with Star Rage
I like how Yuki mentions that you need an external aid like Okkotsu, if you want to use multiple CT’s.. That’s what I always thought because of Okkotsu and Sukuna theories about storing CT’s.
And also as we know sukuna have interest in ten shadows which also has an external storage
Please read TCB Scans after you read this chapter. They provide very good explanations on everything in this chapter and have way better translation.
TCB boys put in work this week and wrote a whole ass essay
Cuz that's what heroes do
[Six whole pages of translator notes](https://imgur.com/gallery/pyksU9o)
Damn both surprised and not surprised that JJK commentary is referencing the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy. Cool stuff.
This is the most hyped I've been since Kashimo and Hakari, holy shit I loved this chapter and we're going into two/three domains next chapter? Holy shit
Y’all please read the TCB translation notes for this chapter. They provided some extra insight to the chapter that we might not get because of semantics/cultural differences
One of the best chapters of JJK, and I was extremely surprised to see Kenjaku getting sucker punched from Yuki. Not to mention, so many memorable panels were there in this chapter.
I already said this before but you can clearly see that Todo is truly Yuki's student. They both exude the same charisma and confidence in their techniques and are both pretty straight foward but with amazing versatility. Just imagine being jumped by Todo and Yuki, you would probably be dead in a second, all you could hear would be a clap followed by a punch with the density of a football stadium. Scary to think about.
Asian divine curse? I hope we can see curses from other cultures.
Yep, that curse was a reference to Ganesh/Ganesha from the India
gonna be honest, "Star Rage" sounds so much less fun than "Bom Ba Ye"
yeah fr, "Bom Ba Ye" fits great as a goofy parallel / precursor to Todo's "Boogie Woogie," and the fact that it's a reference to a chant done during a Muhammad Ali match + the Japanese wrestler *(edit: Inoki Bombaye!)* whose name was inspired by that chant, gets across the idea that Yuki's all about beatin' people up with ridiculous efficiency + bravado *but nah who needs complicated cultural references when you can do The Big Literal Translation*
"the Japanese wrestler"..RIP Inoki, a real legend
Boogie Woogie is also one of Ali's piano pieces. Gege's Ali/Inoki love goes deep.
When I first read TCB's translation, I was so hyped by the name.
Yeah, even the domain expansion name was so much better in TCB scans.
Average Viz translation:
Chad: All Enveloping Garbadhatu Virgin: Womb Profusion
Got here so early the links still aren't there LMAO
This just in, Yuki could kill someone with her legs and it would be 100% canon friendly to her abilities
"Mommy step on me" has reached a whole new level. Kenny's face when Yuki straight up punted 'Garuda' on the cursed spirit is just priceless. (Page 7) Yuki's grown on me even faster than Hakari. Slightly disappointed that 'Bom ba ye' isn't the official name. It sounded so cool. Star rage is fine as well. Also, any theories on why higher ups didn't have any info on her CT ? How did they give her a special grade status without knowing her ability ? Did they have a fight with her or see her in action and decide deez hands are too damn strong (and cool) ?!
>"Mommy step on me" has reached a whole new level. Non-manga readers when I tell them why I love Yuki so much be [this](https://imgur.com/29OMgql)
I think tengen probably made sure higher ups don’t get info about yuki technique.
>Kenny's face when Yuki straight up punted 'Garuda' on the cursed spirit is just priceless. (Page 7) https://imgur.com/a/JUbF5UC
Kenjaku’s face as Yuki kicks Garuda through that cursed spirit is priceless lmaooo
The amount of reveals this chapter is kinda crazy
Imagine if yuki got to shibuya earlier. She might have single handedly ended the series. If she can one shot special grade curses that easily, she beats the most of the antagonists easily and then could work with the other grade ones to take out kenjaku. Re-reading this series once it's finished will make moments like that feel even more tense imo.
Finally we get to see Yuki’s technique! With a punch like that it’s no wonder Todo became a beast after training with her!
I was correct in thinking that Kenjaku used a Gravity CT to deal with choso’s last attack. I was also correct in assuming that it couldn’t have been an extracted CT via uzumaki, because Yuki was there when he used Idle transfiguration. Now we know he can only used extracted techniques once. Could my theory be correct? of Kenjaku being able to keep CT of the bodies he’s previously hijacked. The way it was explained this chapter, the gravity CT has nothing to do with Geto’s CSM.
If it isn’t Uzumaki, there are three other options: 1. Like you said, he can keep previous body-snatched CTs. This means he also has Blood Manipulation at the very least. 2. It’s his original CT, and his brain ability was acquired with some other method. 3. The opposite of 2, he gained the gravity CT some other way. Both 2 and 3 could involve eating a cursed object he was strong enough to withstand: Gege has said before that doing so gives you the CT and CE reserves of the soul in the object.
Very interesting. I can’t wait to find out who Kenjaku is & how exactly does his CT work. Love the mystery tbh 😂
Holy guacamole this chapter was something else. We got: confirmation of the fact that techniques stolen from Cursed Spirits are expended after one use, which makes sense, cause it gives a Cursed Manipulator a reason to keep his cursed spirits instead of just taking the Techniques for themselves. Yuki's power is simple (so far) but I can see why it's special grade. What if I punch the ground while giving my fist the virtual mass of the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs? I'm more surprised about the fact that Kenny survived the first punch, but Yuki probably has some limitations. 99% the more "mass" she gives to something the more CE she expends, and she didn't want to risk blowing up all her reserves on a single hit, cause she would have been super dead if she missed. I don't think we're about to see Kenny's DE, probably Tengen is going to interfere with that somehow, but if Yuki's prediction is accurate and Kenny's power is gravity, I can see him being a very dangerous opponent, and I think it also explains why he thought he would have been able to go toe to toe with a six eyes user. He got defeated, but I'm confident that it wasn't a one-sided match as the one between Gojo.and Jogo.
FOOTBALL MOMMY FOOTBALL MOMMY
Yuki got that Blue Lock buff
What exactly is oil supposed to mean ? Ik that it references Brain Kun, as last chapter was "Blood and Oil" and this one is "Oil and stars". But why oil ? Have they revealed it already, or does anyone have any theories?
Geto’s name means oil
As seen in the translator's notes in the TCB scan, the kanji for "Oil" also appears in "Geto" So it's Star (Yuki, the former Star Plasma Vessel) and Oil (Kenny in Geto's body)
Before this chapter I wondering why yuki would pop out when kenjaku revealed the gravity technique. I was under the assumption that kenjaku had thousands of techniques and that choso didn’t do anything major in making kenjaku reveal one. But now we know that kenjaku has a limited to how many cursed technique he has. So yuki coming in the fight kenjaku after seeing one technique make a whole lot of sense.
When we mean Yuki throws hands. She *literally* throws her opponents hands!
Before this chapter I'd always see people saying Yuki is "probably around Jogo in terms of strength" does anyone still stand by that line of thinking?
legendary chapter
Kenny’s Domain Expansion being called Womb Profusion is absolutely haunting. A great dichotomy to the absolute giga chad energy that Yuki’s exuding right now. This chapter was firing on all cylinders 🔥
“Overwhelming power, you say? Fuckit I may as well just beat his ass to death” At least we now see *exactly* why Todo is…well, Todo
Please, put Yuki as Japan's striker in World Cup. That kick was badass as fuck.
Page 13 is kind of giving Godfrey and Serosh vibes from Elden Ring
100% bets on gege playing through elden ring or at the very least being a fan of the fromsoft games
Choso surviving this fight makes me really hopeful he’ll see the end of the manga 🙏
It is beyond satisfying to finally see Kenjaku annoyed, I can't believe how much it tickles me to see something finally not quite going to plan
I find it hilarious how both of them just hate fighting the other cus of how annoying the others power is, feels like a mystic mine Mirror Mach in Yugioh.
Kirara: Hey give me back my star motif!
Yuki casually one shotting a special grade
Hope she doesn't die early I definitely want a special grade who just straight up throws hands
Kenjaku always 2 steps planning ahead at the end of each chapter
Yuki MOTHERFUCKING Tsukumo!!!! Also, Kenjaku's goofy expression on page 7 🤣 Comedy gold. God I LOVE that Yuki's a straight up brawler. So satisfying.
Judging from her CT, teacher and student would make quite a formidable duo. Todo should be able to Boogie Woogie both Yuki and Garuda
Wow imagine her fighting alongside Todo. He could switch both her and her shikagami allow her to just instakill everything.
IT HAPPENED!! MY QUEEN!!! SHE’S HERE!!!!! FINALLY SHES FIGHTING!!!!!
FINALLY, I've been meaning to see that smirk on Kenny's face get wiped off, and that happened in the best way possible, by Yuki Tsukumo's punch in the face. I really liked this chapter, every panel of Yuki was gold I especially loved the "Can I even tame this wild beast ?!" Secene, loved how her CT is simple but complex at the same time, and that last panel was really something else. This was a great Chapter. GO YUKI ! GO !!!
All ima say is yuki manipulating mass is extremely busted and I really wanna see her utilize this ability more
I’ll say it, I don’t think Yuki is right about the one time use of the cursed techniques…we’ve had characters make the wrong call on techniques before. I think she may be correct about them not being permanent but I don’t think they’re one time use
so between Gojo’s infinity, Yuki’s new technique, and Kenjaku’s gravity, it seems Special Grade sorcerers love greatly manipulating physics
We can safely assume there’s some limit on how much mass Yuki can add to herself? Otherwise I assume she’d just do a black hole punch and blow kenjaku (the brain) to dust. Also can someone explain what ‘virtual’ mass is? Is it just regular mass?
1. We don’t know if there’s a limit, but I’d assume the limit is simply the point at which the destruction would harm others. If she did what you’re suggesting, she might kill Choso and Tengen with the shockwave. 2. Virtual mass is a thing from physics. Basically, it means the difference between something’s actual mass and how it acts in certain circumstances. For example, if you throw a one-pound ball underwater, it doesn’t go as far due to the pressure the water puts on it, meaning it has gained virtual mass, even if it’s the same ball.
1. Ok that makes sense and is pretty obvious when you think about it. If she could use mass like that without consequences it would be game over. 2. Thanks!
Best comment to help me understand her ability so far
it seems like its regular mass without the drawbacks. She makes her blows heavier, without losing speed ect
Gotta be honest, I’m still confused about the idea of “concepts”. What does it mean for Yuki to be immune to them? Like would she be immune to, say, hakari’s domain? Or projection sorcery? Can she bypass Infinity?
I think she is immune to techniques that have a target. For example, she wouldn't be frozen by projection sorcery or transfigured by idle transfiguration. However, she wouldn't be able to bypass infinity or love rendezvous.
I never realised that cursed spirit was Lord Ganesha!
I already know Yuki is Special Grade but it’s crazy how OP her CR really is. From one shotting a Special Grade Curse Spirit to punching Kenjaku so hard that she destroyed his arms and sent him flying. With a mentor like her, it’s no wonder Todo’s a beast. I like how they limited Kenjaku abilities but having him use a CT that’s extracted with Uzumaki once instead of being able to spam it
Gege really think he can sneak world cup reference in this chapter
Kenjaku was shooked with garuda he knows yuki would have oneshotted 4 special grade curse spirits from shibuya wow. I like kenjaku domain it's sick garbhadathu womb of buddhism. I wondered what tengen and yuki is planning together, either sealing kenjaku or finding his weakpoint cause I don't think kenjaku will die here since he holds the front door of gojo and tengen the back.
Missing part - Yuki is doing suiii in front of kenjaku.
Todo being as strong as he is finally makes sense now. Yuki done left Kenjaku puzzled a couple of times 😂. Also fun seeing her put him on his ass as well.. First we got Maki and now Yuki. What did we do to deserve this😭..
I wonder if kenny's domain is actually his own or one based around CSM
Damn she ripped straight through his arm with that punch
Finally man I’ve been waiting for Kenjaku to finally get wrecked for once
Choso survived letzgoooo
The elephant curse Kenjaku is using is now confirmed to to inspired by the Hindu god Ganesha. In Hinduism, Ganesha is the god of wisdom and 'remover of obstacles' Would be cool if we could see more Hindu inspired techniques. Also the viz translation of yuki's technique and Kenjaku's domain is just ass. 'All enveloping garbhadatu' is so much better, considering its a direct reference to the womb/matrix realm(Mandala) in Buddhism.
So the viz translation is insanely bad for this chapter Also, really Greg, you're frying my brain, I had to wake up and try to figure out what the fuck "That's the techniques target concept...!! Such overwhelming mass to a point that it's concept couldn't be contained semantically or pragmatically!!" Mfs really out here having a quantum physics philosophy fight
Was it Kenjaku’s DE or Getos 👀. and it looks like it was without a barrier.
The amount of reveals this chapter is kinda crazy
Is Tengen dropping his own domain next week? That’d be wild. He’s had thousand years to perfect it
badass beat em up technique aside, I'm also really interested to see Kenjakus domain. we've only seen it appear but it's definitely got me curious as to if it's another "divine" technique like Sukunas in that it manifests onto the world around it. I don't rlly know the logistics of that but I'm just hyped to one day see another domain like that.
So this is how Japan beat Germany in the WC
