Sukuna was licking his lips at Megumi ever since Shibuya

Dude been plotting on him because he KNEW it was the only way he could win
Cap. I swear MFs don't read. :deadrose:

Gojo (Gege) clearly stated that he would have likely caught the L even without Megumi and the Ten Shadows technique.

But that's not as easy to accept though, because that's something that's explained in 2 bubbles of dialogue that goes against what we've seen for 12 chapters and against the same declarations of Gojo (Gege) from chapter 1 and throughout the whole story. Gojo was always confident he'll beat Sukuna and Kenjaku, before he got sealed and after when he was released.

You can't expect people to just be "oh, things weren't like that then :ehh:" when they are emotionally invested in something. The whole point of this medium is getting the reader to feel something so Gege going :umad: at the last minute will get obvious backlash :yeshrug:



People saying this is garbage are mostly being emotional. But at the same time we can't act like this is some elite tier writing either. My whole thing with JJK is that Gege has never been a great writer and people continue to put ridiculous expectations on this manga because what dude is actually great at is presenting compelling scenarios that go outside of the same old troupes 95% of shonen manga have. But the way he explains shyt and resolves stuff has always been hit or miss. Gojo vs Sukuna didn't escape from that.

This is Gege writing for ego because Gojo beat the brakes off Sukuna. That bytchassnikka had to 3-1 Gojo and STILL LOST. Gojo hollow purple nuked the fukk out of everything costing Sukuna another arm on some Vegeta shyt and ridiculous damage. Sukunas arm is STILL gone by the way:dead:

Building it off one character's bravado and literally nothing else concrete is both ridiculous and a great example of perspective. This entire story has been angled from the current day standards of what strength and greatness are, with no real frame of reference for the past. Only Sukuna has been consistent in saying that the bar has been lowered and nobody really listened. Now Gege has given us an inarguable break check in the form of our current greatest being humbled by the Greatest period. This was Ali/Jordan telling these current guys they wouldn't have survived in their day, beating them, and then giving them props for being good after whooping their ass.

This entire series, this entire fight the best anyone has ever done is make him uneasy and that was 1 chapter ago. Sukuna promised him this fade from the beginning wasaaay back at the introduction and he finally gave him his receipt.

That's what you are doing with Sukuna though, it's just that he won the argument so there's validation :pachaha:

There's that and the fact that he's never really lost composure, at all. Gojo is out here getting boosted by other people's abilities and still we're being given his thoughts as he scrambles and struggles all the while enjoying himself.

Like I said, it's excellent use of perspective.

What's done is done whatever :comeon:How many chapters Kashimo getting? I'm calling 5 max before Sukuna folds him:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:
I'd be shocked if it gets to 5. Sukuna vs Gojo was long as fukk and we still have a fukk ton of story left :heh:

Yo, this is crazy.

So there's a couple of subway stations here in Santiago that has promotional material for JJK's current anime season. After what happened in the manga, some fans went to the one of those stations and did a little memorial :mjlol:



Imagine being an anime only fan that has been able to navigate all the spoilers (or don't engage with JJK/anime content online) and all of a sudden you just trying to go someplace and see that shyt and get spoiled :dead: :dead:
