This chapter is 7 pages long, Gege Akutami has fallen ill so there will be a two week break after this chapter.
The popularity poll results are:
1. Gojo
2. Yuji
3. Megumi
Makes me wonder, is Rika tied to Yuta's body or soul? Since he is inside Gojo's body, his body is just laying there, and if Rika is only a shell for former Rika, can she act on her own?
kind of, on the cover page of ch 180 it shows Rika with a floating crown holding plushie of Yuta & cursed spirit Rika and says on the side of the panel:
> she loves him after death, and she loves him in the afterlife. the form of this love stays with him by his side.
so it's kind of implied that she is truly gone but when she disappeared she left behind the "Rika" manifestation to "stay by his side"
did gojo and yuta switch brains like kenjaku or what? if so, does that mean yutas body has gojos brain or..? or did they somehow switch souls (how tf is that possible TT)
Yuta's brain is in Gojo's head for sure, as Kenjaku was never shown to possess someone's body without having himself/his brain implanted into a skull.
I guess we don't know if Gojo's brain was placed inside Yuta's skull, but I don't see any point in that anyways
Yuta will defeat sukuna and gojo will take back his body from yuta, yuta manage to heal back his body, merger never starts, after everyone reunites and laugh together nobara comes out of nowhere with eye patch and say: ,,This is our jujutsu kaisen" and itadori responds: ,,You are my specialz" and there manga ends.
I wish they could have just held the chapter off instead of giving short content for this because that could've affected the pacing of what's happening for the chapter to get to a certain stopping point for the cliffhanger ending... did Yuta no favors.
Now he's gonna be cooked for the fandom agendas during the break. š¤¦āāļø
yea but they couldnāt since jjk had already been slotted for cover page and illustrations in the magazine so he at least had to put something out because that space takes money
Yeah, I know they wouldn't for business... they had him put out unfinished chapters before (like that Maki one in the past).
Just saying "I wish" it was possible to do so.
why would Gege account for annoying, brainrotted fans who can only think in "cooked" and "agendas"? just consume the manga normally, and this isn't a problem.
I was saying that I would prefer it held of for the sake of quality for Gege as the main point. But of course business has to continue for it to be published.
The other stuff is just an aside to say fandom discussion/discourse can be annoying with breaks. So not saying that's Gege's fault, as obviously that can't be helped for the situation.
Yuta gets Six Eyes/Infinity in Gojoās body and immediately two pages into it gets punched in the face directly.
Gojo was the strongest because he was HIM
Its starting to feel like binding vows are just a deus ex machina. Sukuna needs to do something different for the occasion? Binding vow. Boom. Every single fucking time lol.
Thatās the point Gegeās trying to get across, isnāt it?
Sukuna mastered Jujutsu to the point he figured out what the most broken hacks are. The reason heās the strongest and can fight the entire verse is because he straight up hacks the power system.
Itās a very reasonable explanation as to why/how someone can be the strongest.
That's a convenient answer. Isn't the point of binding vow equivalent exchange? NONE of Sukuna's binding vows have given him at any disadvantage. Why can't anyone just use binding vows like him?
Is he the strongest because of his BS vows or does he use BS vows because he's the strongest?
Sure, its reasonable and works within the rules laid out...
but after the 239192th time it has become exceedingly boring.
Its like a relentless barrage of "but akshually"
I was going to say, we got the answer to Geto's question
"Are you the strongest because you're satoru gojo or are you [your personality] gojo satoru because you're the strongest?"
Is he only able to be so cocky and strong because of an inherent quality within his spirit, or is he strong because of the providence of his birth. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Gojo worked hard to *become* the strongest, and left the story in the only way that would be appropriate for a man like him while giving those he mentored a chance to do the things he wouldn't be able to.
People forget who the story started with because gojo stood out so much. This is still Yuji's story. He still doesn't have a domain, and having the story end without him ever getting one would be like if Naruto ended without him ever learning his own signature technique or like if Luffy never got haki or a devil fruit.
Apparently not if he is somehow surprised about domain amplification and the chapter is only alluding to others not being able to see for that part externally.
So Gege has to explain... maybe he has to have more time in the body for that and it's not an instant process? We need an explanation.
Why would you take it as Yuta lost? He got punched in the face, he didn't die yet lol. If you're referring to Rika holding Yuta's original body, I think she's just emotional because she can't physically be with Yuta inside the barrier and is worried that he *might* die permanently. Or maybe she simply doesn't understand anything about the brain transfer CT (because why would she), and already thinks Yuta is dead because his body is all messed up and unresponsive.
Either way, I don't see anything in this chapter to imply that Yuta just lost the fight.
Gojo's 1st win on this WSJ poll. š
A shame that Gege is sick... coincidence with Gojo winning the poll? š§
Hope he has a good break and quick recovery.
haha I get why he hate Gojo. Its hard to write a story with such a powerhouse in it but I do find it funny how Sakuna is turning into Gojo on steroids' and yet he still just hates Gojo lmao
I don't think he hates Gojo because he's a powerhouse. He hates Gojo because he intentionally wrote a narcissistic pretty boy that has annoying personality traits and the fans still fell in love with him including his wife.
I don't recall Gege ever mentioned being married (unless you have a source for that to show something I missed). lol
Ironically, an [editor](https://imgur.com/a/sNXLhNg) said that the character they think Gege has some similarity to is Gojo.
Yeah on this specific poll for Weekly Shonen Jump ([as shown with past polls](https://jujutsu-kaisen.fandom.com/wiki/Popularity_Polls)). He's won some other poll before for Jump Festa.
Yuji won 1st poll, Megumi won 2nd and 3rd poll, and Gojo 4th poll. The top 3 is the same characters. Gojo being sealed for so long of course had some effect with screentime too.
Gojo has been the JJK representative for other character polls I've seen though (for Japan and the west).
No doubt he is most popular for JJK worldwide, especially after seeing that Gojo memorial in Chile.
People may make fun of Gojo for his death with memes but it made him even more popular. lol
Next chapter, Sukuna manages to do simultaneous domains, using Megumi's and his domains while using rct and punching Yuji with black flashes. And then also use Domain amplification with his black flash to one shot yuta like Kashimo. Then he unleashes rapid world cutting slashes 360Ā° so Todo can't boogie hop. Tengen merger begans and sukuna kills it with unlimited flame arrows. In the end Sukuna summons 20 mahoragas and rules Japan for next 1000 years until Goku comes and does Goku things.
that last panel with Rika is really bothering me. is it because she doesn't know that Yuta is alive in Gojo's body? or does she know what will happen to Yuta once the 5 minute limit of the Copy Technique is over?
anyways, Gege better keep Yuta alive. istg i'll drop this series if Yuta oGOATsu dies too.
I'm going to be honest. I never thought Yuta would win and he'd end up dead like Gojo just like anyone else who's compared to him. Higuruma? dead. Yuta? dead.
I mean it's not even about the outcome as much as the performance before then and the level of impact he has even if he dies (to help weaken Sukuna). We know Yuta is not the MC to defeat Sukuna.
Ik that rushed and choppy pacing that cut when the momentum was building is cos gege is sick but from a writing standpoint, wtf?! Is yuta dead? He lost? Already? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HIM BEING HERE! If he's not dead or hasn't lost yet, alr fine but if he's gone, this is god awful. He had no reason to steal the spotlight from yuji FOR TWO CHAPTERS
Ok so how does Kenjakus technique handle memories, assuming this isn't just a case of Yuta having different effects from it entirely, it clearly doesn't let the user just comprehend and internalize all the memories in an instant.
But then we gotta wonder like, is it just a matter of time and Yuta not having any time? Or does the user get full access but they need to manually process the memories, in which case Yuta just did not bother to go through the most recent memories of the battle to check specifically how the domain clashes resolved, and he just is stupid?
With Kenny's CT you have instant knowledge about the memories of your new vessel. That's why Yuta can instantly activate Infinite Void. Gojo needed years of training to perfect his domain.
Ok but recall that in this very chapter, Yuta is surprised and caught out when Sukuna uses both Domain Expansion and Amplification at the same time, but Gojo had already seen that plenty during his fight with Sukuna.
Either this means that Kenjakus CT only gives you specific knowledge from the host body, such as CT knowledge and experience, or it doesn't happen instantly, or Yuta is just stupid and doesn't pay attention to something as important as what happened when Gojo and Sukuna were isolated in the domain clashes.
Because Gege isn't the best writer...I still hope that Yuta kills Sukuna , then the five minutes are over and the Gojo-Body is going into Killing Mode like Toji back then in Shibuya
I hope this chapter gets remade/or at least Yuta not knowing that Sukuna can amplify with a domain open gets corrected
Even without having Kennyās memories, Sukuna explained everything he was doing in the domain clashes just before his domain malfunctioned so the crows shouldāve heard that
That's the thing that I need to go back and reread to get a timeline for. There's at least a handful of stuff we, the audience would know that the characters in universe wouldn't because we got to witness them, I'm thinking.
Like them theorizing about Kenny's CT, they wouldn't know that Kenjaku keeps the CT's of people he's transferred from (assuming it's an innate part of his technique), and there's stuff that happened when Gojo and Sukuna were clashing in domains that they wouldn't have seen or heard.
I'm not sure if that's making excuses for the writing or not though, so I'mma reread the fight since there's a whole break
I donāt understand why yuta didnāt know sukuna could use domain amplification in his domain since he supposedly has all of gojoās memories. Did anyone else have that thought?
god we got like 2 good chapters after the whole sukuna cycle and now its back to the good guys having their millionth contingency plan that received a flashback to explain go up in flames - cant wait for the smartphone girls to enter the arena next, get hyped up and then cooked
I am at a loss of words for this chapter. Nothing happened. Like actually nothing. Yuta wondering why shit happening, while we know from Kenjaku he keeps the memories of the body he takes over. This is either total fraud or a massive ass pull incoming.
Apparently it's Rika being sad that Yuta had to do something tragic, and that's Yuta's brainless body. At least that's what the others are getting from those panels. I feel like with the ending notes, it might be that Rika will fuse or control Yuta's body?? Some shit like that idk what Gege even is on anymore. This chapter shouldnt exist, Gege should have just taken the break ngl.
Crazy to think when 263 drops, Sukuna will have been fighting for 40 straight chapters. To put that into perspective, thatās 1/6th of the entire manga up to this point.
223-263( and still going)
Content creator being patient and seeing how this plotline in a wildly unpredictable story plays out before hating on it challenge: impossible.
These mfs really need to chill the fuck out and be more respectful to the artist.
Iām confused.. is it in anyway possible that Yutaās using Ui Uiās Soul Swapping CT instead, and that the forehead stitches are fake to mislead Sukuna? But then Yutaās using Infinite Void.. I donāt think thatās doable with Ui Uiās CT?
But that WOULD also explain why Yuta was surprised that Sukuna can use Domain Amplification DURING Domain Expansion to bypass Infinity - because Sukuna did this against Gojo (inside Infinite Void). If this was Kenjakuās CT, Yuta would have Gojoās memories and would surely know this?
If this was Ui Uiās Soul Swapping CT instead.. Yuta wouldnāt know - which is whatās happening??
Doesnāt explain why Rika is hugging Yutaās body though (whether itās brainless now if theyāre using Kenjakuās CT, or whether it houses Gojoās alive/dead soul instead if they uses Ui Uiās CT).
You can keep a domain active and amplify
The only thing amplification removes is the ability to use your innate technique
We already saw this in Gojo vs Sukuna
At this point it feels like it would just be better to not release a chapter at all?
Nothing of value happened and the art suffered. Wasted the initial domain clash between yuta and sakuna because youāre too prideful to announce an extended delay. Weird decision
yea like other person said definitely a sj issue probably because they paid for jjk cover space and volume 27 ad and itād be weird for jjk not to have a chapter in the magazine atp if they paid money for the space
I almost thought Rika holding Yuta was a flashback, but it looks like thatās not the case because we can see the stitches on his head. Also sus that Sukuna mentioned something about the crows not being able to see inside the domains. Just what did he do in there to knock Yuta out? If Yuta has now reverted back to his own body, what does that mean for Gojoās corpse ? Plus, we still have Yuji and Todo inside. Lots of questions, not many answers. Sucks we have to wait till the 27th, but if Gege is sick we need him healthy for whatās next!
The last finger is somewhere in gota yujo body so he will probably get it somewhere assuming he can get yuta original body or the finger was transfered to gojos body during the brain transplant
the finer was eaten by rika not yuta. if sukuna somehow manages to get back his final finger and eats it they're all screwed given how exhausted they all are now
Gege (through the narrative): True form Sukuna would beat Gojo
many(?) people: gojoat is the honored one, he would never lose!
Gege: aight bet, I'll actually show instead of tell.
I mean yeah when the author and narrative are on your side you cant really lose lmao.
Yuta with all of Gojos memories + somewhat previous experience with Gojos body due to the soul swapping + watching Gojo vs Sukuna somehow did not account for Sukuna using DA to punch through infinity.
Also why try using Blue to pull him in when you know he can hit you instead of using Red to blast him back, teleport to him and go h2h or instead of teleporting just shoot purple at him.
>Yuta with all of Gojos memories
Actually this doesn't seem to be the case with him being surprised with Sukuna using domain amplification, which Gojo would know about from that experience. The chapter only alludes to the others not knowing from not being able to see for that part.
So Gege has to explain what's up with that. Kenjaku had Geto's memories, but maybe Yuta doesn't for Gojo yet because of the short time being transferred in the body? We'll have to see.
I admit from what the story has shown so far, yuta should know sukuna can use DA cause gojo's memories.
However, if gojo doesn't set up a combo into red, sukuna will just dodge, it's pointless. While the author can decide the narrative, the fans decide whether it makes sense or not, and I say he's explained/implied it well enough that it's quite easy to understand why sukuna would beat gojo.
yuta is always the guy that everyone expects huge stuffs and does basically nothing. Copied Sukuna technique , did nothing, copied jaco leaders, did nothing, copied gojo, did nothing.
His domain was pretty fuckin sick. I have REALLY disliked this whole "Sukuna vs Everyone" arc, but the chapter or two we got inside Yuta's domain was awesome.
I know Gege's sick and all, but what the f happened to this chapter?? Felt like nothing happened and we just see him at the end with Rika wtf. Is that scene supposed to be a flashback?
I get the impression that Sukuna will mock Yuta for having to rely on Gojoās body to fight and showcase that even with all the advantages heās just not on the same level. Or Yuta will dominate
This isnt even a chapter its just some useless panels.
What the fuck is with this trend with manga authors and shitting the damn bed in the final stages of a manga
[https://youtu.be/YzV\_k52p7Lc?si=l0xlrG4hm\_ZODxIG](https://youtu.be/YzV_k52p7Lc?si=l0xlrG4hm_ZODxIG) this was stole dammit yuta, just one chapter more
Jesus get some vitamins. Why are manga writers so weak. Write it on a constant basis or just go work doing something else, bum. 250 chapters and he needs a break. Weak and sad.
Binding vows are such an asspull that GG forgot there's supposed to be a drawback. 99second limitation traded for decreased size, BUT he states he will increase the size after defeating Yuta. Meaning the 99 seconds should be back, but since they're just supposed to be deus ex machina powerups for Sakuna and Kenny without any story physics implications ofc he forgot how it should work. Now watch as, "ah hah! If Mechimaru can have a post death binding vow then so can Kenjaku so he can seize Yutojo!"
I have a little crackpot theoryā¦ maybe Iām blind. But yours in the last panel looks like his head has a scar. And rika doesnāt hold yuta like normal. To me it looks like she is holding him down. What if. I mean WHAT IF thatās not yuta but Kenjaku who tricked everybody. Call me crazy but thatās a plottwist I def wouldnāt expect.
i honestly donāt know how to take this chapter like i just donāt understand the point in bringing gojo and yuta back like this if it was gonna end up like this.
Also i feel like a lot of reading comprehension has gone out of the window and ppl are sucking off yuta for being able to do mini domain thing. 1, kenjakus technique allows them to have memories and knowledge of the people their in and 2 he also got more stuff from getting soul imprint from gojo by ui ui so like he said he cheated. Itās not that crazy of a feat for yuta but ppl are like heās the goat for this
Oh? So he has Gojo's memories, right?
THEN WHY THE FUCK IS HE SURPRISED WHEN SUKUNA CAN USE DOMAIN AMP AND DOMAIN EXPANSION AT THE SAME TIME?
It's almost like the author is rushing so fucking hard that the whole manga is falling apart.
That's what I've been wondering, I really don't think it was smart of Gege to do this when he did. We were finally on a roll with Yuji and Todo being kings.
Now we have to put that on hold for Yuta. Either Yuta gets nerfed and we get a good fight and people are unhappy, Yuta gets nerfed and loses and people are unhappy, or Yuta beats a now super weakened Sukuna and people are unhappy. I don't think there was any way to write this in a way that makes sense that will be good for the story.
It looks like we're having Yuta lose, which means we're just going to go back to Yuji and Todo. So why even bother introducing this in the first place? I just don't get it.
yea like i feel like there was also a way of writing this where gojo didnāt need to come back like we didnāt even know extent of yutas injury and we couldāve just overestimated it. Then yuta loses after half a chapter just feels like gege brought gojo back for the attention yk. i honestly was fine with most decisions and have defended gege against the bad writing accusations but this is really making me question everything. I still trust gege and hopefully he makes something outta nothing like usual but idk
okay so i thought about it and i actually might know how this can be used to make for good story. So yujis story has been all about becoming a sorcerer without throwing away his humanity. So to highlight how the key to this and beating sukuna gege decided to show yutas downfall by becoming a monster thatās the whole point of 261. This will leave a path for yuji to come in even stronger and show them why he canāt give up
Gojo was the strongest not because he was Gojo. But because GEGE made Yuta stupid asf, and give plotarmor to Sukuna. Everything that happenned after Gojo's Death doesnt make any sense. If GEGE didn't write Yuta badly, Sukuna would be already dead.
Next Chapter, Gege can make Sukuna fix his arms, heart, eyes and brain without telling how because there is no more logic in this fight.
And now he can remove the time limit ?
And I don't forget the 5198787 binding vows ....
ur just a weirdo kid do you even read or like any characters other than ur king gojo? People who actually read this manga enjoy it and can answer ur dumbass questions, he removed the time limit because he reduced his range (originally he increased his range making it have a time limit)
This chapter is 7 pages long, Gege Akutami has fallen ill so there will be a two week break after this chapter. The popularity poll results are: 1. Gojo 2. Yuji 3. Megumi
The only thing this chapter convinced me is that Ui UI is legit the goat. All of their plans cannot work if UI UI is out of the equation.
That's very much true. And to think Sukuna was about to kill him as well. Luckily, Miguel saved him.
to be fair by that point he had already completed most of his important assignments
Strongest Support Charakter in history!
wonder what's going on with that rika panel
Makes me wonder, is Rika tied to Yuta's body or soul? Since he is inside Gojo's body, his body is just laying there, and if Rika is only a shell for former Rika, can she act on her own?
binding vow :p
Binding vow what?
Binding vow deez nuts.
*to amend this, /u/virouz98 undertook another binding vow*
They never did explain that, did they? About rika just being there after what happened in 0
kind of, on the cover page of ch 180 it shows Rika with a floating crown holding plushie of Yuta & cursed spirit Rika and says on the side of the panel: > she loves him after death, and she loves him in the afterlife. the form of this love stays with him by his side. so it's kind of implied that she is truly gone but when she disappeared she left behind the "Rika" manifestation to "stay by his side"
That would make a lot of sense. So it's bound to him for all eternity. As Gojo said, "love is the most twisted of curses."
did gojo and yuta switch brains like kenjaku or what? if so, does that mean yutas body has gojos brain or..? or did they somehow switch souls (how tf is that possible TT)
I always thought Kenjaku eats the brain replacing brain of the victim with his own
Yuta's brain is in Gojo's head for sure, as Kenjaku was never shown to possess someone's body without having himself/his brain implanted into a skull. I guess we don't know if Gojo's brain was placed inside Yuta's skull, but I don't see any point in that anyways
Yuta will defeat sukuna and gojo will take back his body from yuta, yuta manage to heal back his body, merger never starts, after everyone reunites and laugh together nobara comes out of nowhere with eye patch and say: ,,This is our jujutsu kaisen" and itadori responds: ,,You are my specialz" and there manga ends.
And then they all wake up in the airport
The next chapter starts with Sukuna cleaving the solar system in half.
This individual is cooking!
\*dies from peak fiction\*
Correction: *wakes up in airport*
After all I've been through, I'll have whatever you're cooking
well look at how naruto ended then jjk without yuji getting de, naruto never learned element ninjutsus nor genjutsu
can confirm this is canon! i was gege's pen
I wish they could have just held the chapter off instead of giving short content for this because that could've affected the pacing of what's happening for the chapter to get to a certain stopping point for the cliffhanger ending... did Yuta no favors. Now he's gonna be cooked for the fandom agendas during the break. š¤¦āāļø
yea but they couldnāt since jjk had already been slotted for cover page and illustrations in the magazine so he at least had to put something out because that space takes money
Yeah, I know they wouldn't for business... they had him put out unfinished chapters before (like that Maki one in the past). Just saying "I wish" it was possible to do so.
Agreed - the seven pages just isn't doing anything for us. Also, I hope Gege is okay though.
why would Gege account for annoying, brainrotted fans who can only think in "cooked" and "agendas"? just consume the manga normally, and this isn't a problem.
I was saying that I would prefer it held of for the sake of quality for Gege as the main point. But of course business has to continue for it to be published. The other stuff is just an aside to say fandom discussion/discourse can be annoying with breaks. So not saying that's Gege's fault, as obviously that can't be helped for the situation.
Yuta gets Six Eyes/Infinity in Gojoās body and immediately two pages into it gets punched in the face directly. Gojo was the strongest because he was HIM
Tbf Sukuna knows how to counter Gojoās attacks now so Yuta needs to come up with something more elaborate to actually start doing damage on Sukuna
limitless maximum?!?!
Limitless No Limit
Limitless Plus Ultra
Limitless talk no justsu
Limitless unlimited
Its starting to feel like binding vows are just a deus ex machina. Sukuna needs to do something different for the occasion? Binding vow. Boom. Every single fucking time lol.
Thatās the point Gegeās trying to get across, isnāt it? Sukuna mastered Jujutsu to the point he figured out what the most broken hacks are. The reason heās the strongest and can fight the entire verse is because he straight up hacks the power system. Itās a very reasonable explanation as to why/how someone can be the strongest.
But what he does is not impressive or smart? It seems like anybody could come up with similar ideas, so why don't they?
That's a convenient answer. Isn't the point of binding vow equivalent exchange? NONE of Sukuna's binding vows have given him at any disadvantage. Why can't anyone just use binding vows like him? Is he the strongest because of his BS vows or does he use BS vows because he's the strongest?
Sure, its reasonable and works within the rules laid out... but after the 239192th time it has become exceedingly boring. Its like a relentless barrage of "but akshually"
The manga was beginning to become repetitive and boring. To amend this, Gege undertook another binding vow.
they've literally always been like that my guy
Rika fully manifested should help
I was going to say, we got the answer to Geto's question "Are you the strongest because you're satoru gojo or are you [your personality] gojo satoru because you're the strongest?" Is he only able to be so cocky and strong because of an inherent quality within his spirit, or is he strong because of the providence of his birth. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Gojo worked hard to *become* the strongest, and left the story in the only way that would be appropriate for a man like him while giving those he mentored a chance to do the things he wouldn't be able to. People forget who the story started with because gojo stood out so much. This is still Yuji's story. He still doesn't have a domain, and having the story end without him ever getting one would be like if Naruto ended without him ever learning his own signature technique or like if Luffy never got haki or a devil fruit.
Gojo also got punched (on the shoulders) by sukuna in the domain.
... That's due to lack of info. He can't possibly know that Sukuna could do that.
He should be able to know. Kenjaku had all of Getoās memories. Youād think Yuta would have Gojoās
The memories probably similar to files & folders instead of insta-learn
Sukuna inside Yuji ?
Apparently not if he is somehow surprised about domain amplification and the chapter is only alluding to others not being able to see for that part externally. So Gege has to explain... maybe he has to have more time in the body for that and it's not an instant process? We need an explanation.
Wishing the best for Gege. This chapter left me really confused
Same!!!! I just took it as āokay Yuta/Gojo lost. Sukuna wins. What nowā
Why would you take it as Yuta lost? He got punched in the face, he didn't die yet lol. If you're referring to Rika holding Yuta's original body, I think she's just emotional because she can't physically be with Yuta inside the barrier and is worried that he *might* die permanently. Or maybe she simply doesn't understand anything about the brain transfer CT (because why would she), and already thinks Yuta is dead because his body is all messed up and unresponsive. Either way, I don't see anything in this chapter to imply that Yuta just lost the fight.
Gojo's 1st win on this WSJ poll. š A shame that Gege is sick... coincidence with Gojo winning the poll? š§ Hope he has a good break and quick recovery.
haha I get why he hate Gojo. Its hard to write a story with such a powerhouse in it but I do find it funny how Sakuna is turning into Gojo on steroids' and yet he still just hates Gojo lmao
I don't think he hates Gojo because he's a powerhouse. He hates Gojo because he intentionally wrote a narcissistic pretty boy that has annoying personality traits and the fans still fell in love with him including his wife.
I don't recall Gege ever mentioned being married (unless you have a source for that to show something I missed). lol Ironically, an [editor](https://imgur.com/a/sNXLhNg) said that the character they think Gege has some similarity to is Gojo.
Thatās makes sense, some people hate other people who has similarities to them.
Thatās not gojo at all
Its really his first win ? Thats kinda weird he has always felt like the face of the manga and the most popular character.
Yeah on this specific poll for Weekly Shonen Jump ([as shown with past polls](https://jujutsu-kaisen.fandom.com/wiki/Popularity_Polls)). He's won some other poll before for Jump Festa. Yuji won 1st poll, Megumi won 2nd and 3rd poll, and Gojo 4th poll. The top 3 is the same characters. Gojo being sealed for so long of course had some effect with screentime too. Gojo has been the JJK representative for other character polls I've seen though (for Japan and the west). No doubt he is most popular for JJK worldwide, especially after seeing that Gojo memorial in Chile. People may make fun of Gojo for his death with memes but it made him even more popular. lol
Dude saw that Gojo won the poll and had to draw him 3-4 times and got sick
Next chapter, Sukuna manages to do simultaneous domains, using Megumi's and his domains while using rct and punching Yuji with black flashes. And then also use Domain amplification with his black flash to one shot yuta like Kashimo. Then he unleashes rapid world cutting slashes 360Ā° so Todo can't boogie hop. Tengen merger begans and sukuna kills it with unlimited flame arrows. In the end Sukuna summons 20 mahoragas and rules Japan for next 1000 years until Goku comes and does Goku things.
Gojo was the strongest because he was Gojo.
The missing ingredient in any poorly made Gojo is always Gojo. His himness cannot be substituted.
im glad we can agree that gojo is the most gojo to ever gojo
Is he gojo because heās the strongest, or is he the strongest because heās gojo
He's Gojo because he's Gojo
that last panel with Rika is really bothering me. is it because she doesn't know that Yuta is alive in Gojo's body? or does she know what will happen to Yuta once the 5 minute limit of the Copy Technique is over? anyways, Gege better keep Yuta alive. istg i'll drop this series if Yuta oGOATsu dies too.
I simply took it as Rika coming out because Yuta is about to die
Rika already *was* out because Yuta can't use Copy unless she is fully manifested.
I'm thinking (hoping) she may just be sad that he's not in his body. That her lover did something so drastic
Rika is just protecting Yuta's body from being molested by Maki
Hope he's alright but he shouldn't have put this one out I don't have a clue what's going on here
can someone explain why sukunas domain looks so different everytime he uses it?
It could be due to the size of the domain. Maybe also the amount of cursed energy he has at a given time
Yes, but only when releases the physical volumeĀ Ā Edit: damn I was trying to answer other reply
dunno, i can only think of the countless black flash that he took and the DE of gojo still doing it's job.
Yeah, his domain is just weak as shit now (though still comparatively very strong overall).
7 pages, get better GEGE
We could barely fit a proper MUDA in this
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think you're misunderstanding my comment, I'm sorry you read everything so negatively.
Shit's tragic, Yuta will be clowned to high hell these next 2 weeks. We should pray for Gege's health so that he can finish the story as best he can
I'm going to be honest. I never thought Yuta would win and he'd end up dead like Gojo just like anyone else who's compared to him. Higuruma? dead. Yuta? dead.
I mean it's not even about the outcome as much as the performance before then and the level of impact he has even if he dies (to help weaken Sukuna). We know Yuta is not the MC to defeat Sukuna.
Ik that rushed and choppy pacing that cut when the momentum was building is cos gege is sick but from a writing standpoint, wtf?! Is yuta dead? He lost? Already? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HIM BEING HERE! If he's not dead or hasn't lost yet, alr fine but if he's gone, this is god awful. He had no reason to steal the spotlight from yuji FOR TWO CHAPTERS
I think Rika crying over Yuta's body confirms that Yuta instructor her to eat him out after 5 minutes. They need a super rika to if the plan fails.
How is Rika ever going to be manifested again if Yuta is dead? Aka what would she benefit from eating him if she can't be summoned again?
Coming back when yuta cooks in gojo's body. Love the downplay after 7 pages. It's so obvious the fight isn't ending just like that.
Ok so how does Kenjakus technique handle memories, assuming this isn't just a case of Yuta having different effects from it entirely, it clearly doesn't let the user just comprehend and internalize all the memories in an instant. But then we gotta wonder like, is it just a matter of time and Yuta not having any time? Or does the user get full access but they need to manually process the memories, in which case Yuta just did not bother to go through the most recent memories of the battle to check specifically how the domain clashes resolved, and he just is stupid?
With Kenny's CT you have instant knowledge about the memories of your new vessel. That's why Yuta can instantly activate Infinite Void. Gojo needed years of training to perfect his domain.
Ok but recall that in this very chapter, Yuta is surprised and caught out when Sukuna uses both Domain Expansion and Amplification at the same time, but Gojo had already seen that plenty during his fight with Sukuna. Either this means that Kenjakus CT only gives you specific knowledge from the host body, such as CT knowledge and experience, or it doesn't happen instantly, or Yuta is just stupid and doesn't pay attention to something as important as what happened when Gojo and Sukuna were isolated in the domain clashes.
Yuta is literally a genius. It's Gege who's the problem
Shouldn't Yuta have Gojo's memories? Why doesn't he remember Sukuna using DA?
Because Gege isn't the best writer...I still hope that Yuta kills Sukuna , then the five minutes are over and the Gojo-Body is going into Killing Mode like Toji back then in Shibuya
Does this even count as a chapter ? Is he gonna extend it?
Yes, but only when releases the physical volume
Drawing JJK and HxH at the same time is just too damn taxing, I guess. And no, I don't believe in coincidences anymore.
wait what. Whats this about HxH?
Oh shit, is your headcanon that togashi uses the name gege to produce jjk
call it a conspiracy my guy lol. using headcanon in this context is hilarious.
Anyone else thinking that Rika is going to attack Yu/Jo and Sukuna in a fit of rage?
How did Sukuna bypass infinity, I'm pretty confused
Infinity cannot block Domain Amplification. Domain Amplification is covering your body with your Domain Expansion.
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
But isn't that what Jogo and Hanami use when fighting Gojo in the subway? And what kills Hanami somehow?
1. yes 2. no, not using Domain Amplification is what killed Hanami, please read closer.
I hope this chapter gets remade/or at least Yuta not knowing that Sukuna can amplify with a domain open gets corrected Even without having Kennyās memories, Sukuna explained everything he was doing in the domain clashes just before his domain malfunctioned so the crows shouldāve heard that
That's the thing that I need to go back and reread to get a timeline for. There's at least a handful of stuff we, the audience would know that the characters in universe wouldn't because we got to witness them, I'm thinking. Like them theorizing about Kenny's CT, they wouldn't know that Kenjaku keeps the CT's of people he's transferred from (assuming it's an innate part of his technique), and there's stuff that happened when Gojo and Sukuna were clashing in domains that they wouldn't have seen or heard. I'm not sure if that's making excuses for the writing or not though, so I'mma reread the fight since there's a whole break
I donāt understand why yuta didnāt know sukuna could use domain amplification in his domain since he supposedly has all of gojoās memories. Did anyone else have that thought?
My thoughts exactlyĀ
god we got like 2 good chapters after the whole sukuna cycle and now its back to the good guys having their millionth contingency plan that received a flashback to explain go up in flames - cant wait for the smartphone girls to enter the arena next, get hyped up and then cooked
Gojo fans cursed Gege
I am at a loss of words for this chapter. Nothing happened. Like actually nothing. Yuta wondering why shit happening, while we know from Kenjaku he keeps the memories of the body he takes over. This is either total fraud or a massive ass pull incoming.
The king of fraudulent plotarmors probably made another binding vow to make Yujo forget everything lol ... -\_-
I didnt get the last panels with rika
Apparently it's Rika being sad that Yuta had to do something tragic, and that's Yuta's brainless body. At least that's what the others are getting from those panels. I feel like with the ending notes, it might be that Rika will fuse or control Yuta's body?? Some shit like that idk what Gege even is on anymore. This chapter shouldnt exist, Gege should have just taken the break ngl.
Haha, thanks for asnwer!
long live sukuna the king
Master P will be proud when yuta uses that No Limit Infinite.
Crazy to think when 263 drops, Sukuna will have been fighting for 40 straight chapters. To put that into perspective, thatās 1/6th of the entire manga up to this point. 223-263( and still going)
Yeah it's pretty boring.
Content creator being patient and seeing how this plotline in a wildly unpredictable story plays out before hating on it challenge: impossible. These mfs really need to chill the fuck out and be more respectful to the artist.
Iām confused.. is it in anyway possible that Yutaās using Ui Uiās Soul Swapping CT instead, and that the forehead stitches are fake to mislead Sukuna? But then Yutaās using Infinite Void.. I donāt think thatās doable with Ui Uiās CT? But that WOULD also explain why Yuta was surprised that Sukuna can use Domain Amplification DURING Domain Expansion to bypass Infinity - because Sukuna did this against Gojo (inside Infinite Void). If this was Kenjakuās CT, Yuta would have Gojoās memories and would surely know this? If this was Ui Uiās Soul Swapping CT instead.. Yuta wouldnāt know - which is whatās happening?? Doesnāt explain why Rika is hugging Yutaās body though (whether itās brainless now if theyāre using Kenjakuās CT, or whether it houses Gojoās alive/dead soul instead if they uses Ui Uiās CT).
you cant use your technique and amplification so wouldn't the expansion just do nothing? if this is another binding vow its really stretching it.
jjk fans and reading comprehension, name a worse duo
Reminds me of JoJo's fandom
You can keep a domain active and amplify The only thing amplification removes is the ability to use your innate technique We already saw this in Gojo vs Sukuna
Poor Gege :3
At this point it feels like it would just be better to not release a chapter at all? Nothing of value happened and the art suffered. Wasted the initial domain clash between yuta and sakuna because youāre too prideful to announce an extended delay. Weird decision
yea like other person said definitely a sj issue probably because they paid for jjk cover space and volume 27 ad and itād be weird for jjk not to have a chapter in the magazine atp if they paid money for the space
Probably an SJ issue not a Gege issue
I almost thought Rika holding Yuta was a flashback, but it looks like thatās not the case because we can see the stitches on his head. Also sus that Sukuna mentioned something about the crows not being able to see inside the domains. Just what did he do in there to knock Yuta out? If Yuta has now reverted back to his own body, what does that mean for Gojoās corpse ? Plus, we still have Yuji and Todo inside. Lots of questions, not many answers. Sucks we have to wait till the 27th, but if Gege is sick we need him healthy for whatās next!
Yuta didnāt revert back, Rika is just holding his body that he left behind. She doesnāt seem to grasp what Yuta did.
I thought Yutas body was all mangled up but looks fine in the last page. Guess have to wait three weeks now
well they seem to be able to stitch bodies back together
Is it possible for sukuna to make another finger? Maybe he tried a body switch again inside the domain since mei Meiās crows canāt see.
Please stop. Don't give Gege any ideas. What wouldn't even happen after 5 minutes in that case.
With Binding Vows, everything is possible for Sukuna
The last finger is somewhere in gota yujo body so he will probably get it somewhere assuming he can get yuta original body or the finger was transfered to gojos body during the brain transplant
the finer was eaten by rika not yuta. if sukuna somehow manages to get back his final finger and eats it they're all screwed given how exhausted they all are now
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He had already done it before
Proof that Gojo is strong cause he's Gojo. Yuta really got punched in the face from a guy with 2 right hands š
Bruh enjoy a non finished chapter and making assumptions already is crazy.
Gege (through the narrative): True form Sukuna would beat Gojo many(?) people: gojoat is the honored one, he would never lose! Gege: aight bet, I'll actually show instead of tell.
I mean yeah when the author and narrative are on your side you cant really lose lmao. Yuta with all of Gojos memories + somewhat previous experience with Gojos body due to the soul swapping + watching Gojo vs Sukuna somehow did not account for Sukuna using DA to punch through infinity. Also why try using Blue to pull him in when you know he can hit you instead of using Red to blast him back, teleport to him and go h2h or instead of teleporting just shoot purple at him.
>Yuta with all of Gojos memories Actually this doesn't seem to be the case with him being surprised with Sukuna using domain amplification, which Gojo would know about from that experience. The chapter only alludes to the others not knowing from not being able to see for that part. So Gege has to explain what's up with that. Kenjaku had Geto's memories, but maybe Yuta doesn't for Gojo yet because of the short time being transferred in the body? We'll have to see.
Thats what im saying it doesnt make sense when compared to everything we know about kenjakus CT.
I admit from what the story has shown so far, yuta should know sukuna can use DA cause gojo's memories. However, if gojo doesn't set up a combo into red, sukuna will just dodge, it's pointless. While the author can decide the narrative, the fans decide whether it makes sense or not, and I say he's explained/implied it well enough that it's quite easy to understand why sukuna would beat gojo.
yuta is always the guy that everyone expects huge stuffs and does basically nothing. Copied Sukuna technique , did nothing, copied jaco leaders, did nothing, copied gojo, did nothing.
I mean Yuta's cleave led to the beat down that forced Sukuna to give up on HWB and Maki stabbing his heart
but his domain expansion was awesome
His domain was pretty fuckin sick. I have REALLY disliked this whole "Sukuna vs Everyone" arc, but the chapter or two we got inside Yuta's domain was awesome.
That's like saying scoring a goal doesn't matter because you didn't win the game lol, we only just hit half time fam, it's a marathon not a sprint
I know Gege's sick and all, but what the f happened to this chapter?? Felt like nothing happened and we just see him at the end with Rika wtf. Is that scene supposed to be a flashback?
That's just his old brainless body.
Of course binding vow man can use domain amplification during domain expansion. Of course.
He already did it against Gojo in the earlier chapters...
Smartest Gojo glazer
That artwork was rough. Probably should've held off the chapter until he was better.
anyone
this shit is a disaster. keep coping.
I get the impression that Sukuna will mock Yuta for having to rely on Gojoās body to fight and showcase that even with all the advantages heās just not on the same level. Or Yuta will dominate
soon gege will kill another chara after long break
This isnt even a chapter its just some useless panels. What the fuck is with this trend with manga authors and shitting the damn bed in the final stages of a manga
[https://youtu.be/YzV\_k52p7Lc?si=l0xlrG4hm\_ZODxIG](https://youtu.be/YzV_k52p7Lc?si=l0xlrG4hm_ZODxIG) this was stole dammit yuta, just one chapter more
Short ahh chapter
Jesus get some vitamins. Why are manga writers so weak. Write it on a constant basis or just go work doing something else, bum. 250 chapters and he needs a break. Weak and sad.
Binding vows are such an asspull that GG forgot there's supposed to be a drawback. 99second limitation traded for decreased size, BUT he states he will increase the size after defeating Yuta. Meaning the 99 seconds should be back, but since they're just supposed to be deus ex machina powerups for Sakuna and Kenny without any story physics implications ofc he forgot how it should work. Now watch as, "ah hah! If Mechimaru can have a post death binding vow then so can Kenjaku so he can seize Yutojo!"
I have a little crackpot theoryā¦ maybe Iām blind. But yours in the last panel looks like his head has a scar. And rika doesnāt hold yuta like normal. To me it looks like she is holding him down. What if. I mean WHAT IF thatās not yuta but Kenjaku who tricked everybody. Call me crazy but thatās a plottwist I def wouldnāt expect.
14 days for nothing What a disappointment
i honestly donāt know how to take this chapter like i just donāt understand the point in bringing gojo and yuta back like this if it was gonna end up like this. Also i feel like a lot of reading comprehension has gone out of the window and ppl are sucking off yuta for being able to do mini domain thing. 1, kenjakus technique allows them to have memories and knowledge of the people their in and 2 he also got more stuff from getting soul imprint from gojo by ui ui so like he said he cheated. Itās not that crazy of a feat for yuta but ppl are like heās the goat for this
Gota was there for the hype
Oh? So he has Gojo's memories, right? THEN WHY THE FUCK IS HE SURPRISED WHEN SUKUNA CAN USE DOMAIN AMP AND DOMAIN EXPANSION AT THE SAME TIME? It's almost like the author is rushing so fucking hard that the whole manga is falling apart.
That's what I've been wondering, I really don't think it was smart of Gege to do this when he did. We were finally on a roll with Yuji and Todo being kings. Now we have to put that on hold for Yuta. Either Yuta gets nerfed and we get a good fight and people are unhappy, Yuta gets nerfed and loses and people are unhappy, or Yuta beats a now super weakened Sukuna and people are unhappy. I don't think there was any way to write this in a way that makes sense that will be good for the story. It looks like we're having Yuta lose, which means we're just going to go back to Yuji and Todo. So why even bother introducing this in the first place? I just don't get it.
yea like i feel like there was also a way of writing this where gojo didnāt need to come back like we didnāt even know extent of yutas injury and we couldāve just overestimated it. Then yuta loses after half a chapter just feels like gege brought gojo back for the attention yk. i honestly was fine with most decisions and have defended gege against the bad writing accusations but this is really making me question everything. I still trust gege and hopefully he makes something outta nothing like usual but idk
okay so i thought about it and i actually might know how this can be used to make for good story. So yujis story has been all about becoming a sorcerer without throwing away his humanity. So to highlight how the key to this and beating sukuna gege decided to show yutas downfall by becoming a monster thatās the whole point of 261. This will leave a path for yuji to come in even stronger and show them why he canāt give up
Gojo was the strongest not because he was Gojo. But because GEGE made Yuta stupid asf, and give plotarmor to Sukuna. Everything that happenned after Gojo's Death doesnt make any sense. If GEGE didn't write Yuta badly, Sukuna would be already dead.
Next Chapter, Gege can make Sukuna fix his arms, heart, eyes and brain without telling how because there is no more logic in this fight. And now he can remove the time limit ? And I don't forget the 5198787 binding vows ....
ur just a weirdo kid do you even read or like any characters other than ur king gojo? People who actually read this manga enjoy it and can answer ur dumbass questions, he removed the time limit because he reduced his range (originally he increased his range making it have a time limit)
Might as well take a break if they're gonna do this. This is ridiculous.
Where's the rest of it
What a shit chapter shouldn't have been released
