Jujutsu Kaisen <Sorcery Fight>

[WingedAccelerator]

As the strongest Grade-1 sorcerer, GOATKabe, faught the fraud, the King of Curses, he began to use Simple Domain. Sukuna shrunk back in fear, then GOATKabe said: "Stand proud, Sukuna, I'm weak."

[Kanon]

What a surprise, he was defeated effortlessly too. And now, Miguel, the guy who got clowned on by Gojo in Zero, is here. The good guys are saved!

[Shadow5YA]

I feel like this is all just pointless stalling until Yuji learns about Toji from Shoko, then comes back for a round 2 to give a Megumi the pep talk he needs.

In the meantime every good guy we know will go up against Sukuna just for the sake of giving them spotlight, even if they won't contribute anything meaningful.

[Mad Pierrot]

The memes aren't joking at all:
1. Introduce character to fight Sukuna.
2. Hype him to give potential (let's say he is kinda like Gojo)
3. The character manages to damage the enemy a bit.
4. Sukuna defeats the character but still holding back.
5. New character replaces the defeated one.

Cycle goes on.

Miguel in the movie was defeated in the most hilarious way ever by Gojo wasn't even that strong in handtohand unlike Geto so I wonder what the heck he can do now. Maybe they'll hype him by comparing him with Yuta or something.

Spoiler for 255:

Finally it was explained how Sukuna managed to kill Gojo: he used a Binding Vow and forced himself to satisfy three conditions to perform the world cutting dismantle every single time in the future (chant, hand signs and using hands to direct any slash), so that's why he didn't use any of it when he cut Gojo in half, which almost explains why Gojo didn't dodge it.

[Mad Pierrot]

The spoilers are blowing my mind. Why is everybody calling Gojo racist?

Spoiler for :

Miguel have good physical abilities and interesting CT aligns to that.
Gojo said in flashback, "Of course, he's black" (by means of many famous athletes are black, stereotyping)
Gojo apologized as Miguel said "It's because I'm me, not because I'm black."

Doesn't help that Gege made Miguel CT rhythm-based, which often associated to black dancer.

TBH I still didn't like it, as it open can of worm regarding what decide it, punishment and why everyone didn't abuse it?
Then again, if Judge Man can be fooled by a cursed tool, everything goes. It coming from author who said Fate Zero is awesome because it lack of explanation, completely forgot Fate Stay Night exists.

Everybody does use it. Miwa literally did the exact same thing with Kenjaku.

Then again, if Judge Man can be fooled by a cursed tool, everything goes.

Judgeman didn't get fooled, it works via the legal system, that was obvious since Day 1.

[Tactics]

Nah. That only make things more questionable for both sides.

Kenjaku is the most knowledgeable character in series.
Why he didn't create binding vow to protect himself especially with his goal simply watching Merger.

Yaga can make binding vow to keep Panda mechanism secrecy but nope, he relies on Gakuganji good will.
Hakari can use binding vow sacrificing one arm to protect his entire body, why Todo not doing similar? Like, lose one leg for one-time guaranteed protection against Mahito.

Why Higuruma not using binding vow to ensure his sword intact?
Why Yuta not using binding vow for higher Jacob Ladder firepower?

I guess Akutami wasn't happy enough with Geto spamming the word "monkey"...

Literally made binding vow to pass on Tengen to Sukuna.

Yaga can make binding vow to keep Panda mechanism secrecy but nope, he relies on Gakuganji good will.

You completely missed the point of that scene, he told Gakuganji Panda's secret to get him on the kid's side instead of the higher ups.

Hakari can use binding vow sacrificing one arm to protect his entire body, why Todo not doing similar? Like, lose one leg for one-time guaranteed protection against Mahito.

Mahito got him in 0.2 seconds, he had no time.

Why Higuruma not using binding vow to ensure his sword intact?

Higuruma is a jujutsu amateur.

Why Yuta not using binding vow for higher Jacob Ladder firepower?

The firepower of Jacob's Ladder isn't the issue. As long as Megumi stays suicidal, they're never driving Sukuna out of that body.

[Kanon]

So, Sukuna back to full health next chapter? I wonder how much longer this fight is going to last. Seems more and more obvious there's going to be a Gojo vs Sukuna round 2.

Honestly, I'd probably be okay with that since at least with Gojo you couldn't predict how the fight was going to go as easily compared to everyone else wiping against Sukuna now.

They are actually reviving Gojo? That would actually make the previous chapters a waste of time.

[Kanon]

Why is the official translation so bad? The first page is completely wrong. Of course Gojo can use Black Flash, he's actually explaining why he can't use it at will. This is of course not the first time there have been egregious errors like this.

Anyway, looks like it's time for Yuji the Black Flash king to shine. Will his main characters powers be enough to overcome Sukuna's plot armor?

At this point Sukuna feels like Toguro. "I ain't even using my full power" but even slower because of how many chapters he has been in. I think Toguro's final fight lasted around one volume back in YuYu Hakusho.

[Mad Pierrot]

No chapter this weekend apparently. Feels like even the author is getting tired of this fight

[Tactics]

Chapter 257:

Spoiler for :

So Yuji is indeed Sukuna 'replica' made by Kenjaku thus their similar looks.

Yuji can use Shrine but no DE yet, and his version is weaker due to Yuji lack of understanding.

Yuji version of Shrine seems hinting that Sukuna CT is "Cut" while "Release" is RCT to "Copy" thus Cursed Spirit won't be able to understand it.
Pretty much like computer ones, following explanation that CT manifestation will look different for each era for passed techniques due to difference of knowledge.

[Mad Pierrot]

Spoiler for spoiler:

Wait, we knew he was Kenjaku's creation some time ago but the dream also had a guy named Jin holding Yuji as a baby and I think Tsukumo said there was a woman named Kaori Itadori.

At least it explains why Yuji has so much power despite not training that much he said some chapters ago. I guess this might explain what are those red arms

Spoiler for 257:

Basically Yuji's dad Jin Itadori was the reincarnation of Sukuna's little brother who he ate and killed in the womb. Kenjaku procreated with him to him to create a vessel capable of holding Sukuna that would be born as a player in the Culling Game. The red arms are likely a result of Yuji eating Death Womb Paintings 4-9
