When this arc is animated no one is prepared for how insane this is going to be
ESPECIALLY KIDS WHO THINKS DEMON SLAYER IS BETTER THAN JJK 😂😂
@@skullzie69420 no need to compare. Both are great at what they do. Demon Slayer final arc is just as crazy as Shibuya in my eyes. Both are great
@@fishnutz5196 jjk reached that level in not even 100 chapters , its crazy to think about how epic its goin be
I hope it gets Demon Slayer season 2 like animation
@@dandrejohnson1522 considering Mappa’s slav- I mean employees haven’t done wrong since 2020 you wanna hope That they dial it back cause Man oh man
JJK has always been very good, but this arc, is where it really begins to excel and take off and shed its "oh its like this shounen or that shounen" and really just makes you want more, i can tell you love this arc and everything that comes after Imran and cant wait for more content from you
The Shibuya arc is like the Jakku Hospital fight in MHA, but even more intense because JJK doesn’t mess around when it comes to biting the bullet
@@kaminari1927 those two arcs are nowhere near on the same level. Shibuya is so far beyond mha
The climax of shibuya arc reminded me of Hxh's insane Crimera Ants arc, it's the crescendo of the story
@@thchiefe sorry bro war arc of mha solos jjk
@@srinjoyadhikary hahahah absolutely not. The war arc in mha is so mid it’s ridiculous. Shibuya takes the entirety of mha and takes a fat shit on it
I like to believe that the phase “shit hitting the fan”, wouldn’t be enough to describe the absolute chaos that this fantastic arc brings.
I believe the term is fubar
Also you can't compare it to anything...the standard should be this ark and then, we can compare other works with this
@@DarkButterflyChikageYeah The shibuya incident is incomparable to other shonen. Honestly it feels like if you took the war arcs of a late series shonen like MHA where the villain scaling is just absurd and they’ve been plotting for a fat minute then throw the protagonists from the first training arc into it.
Nothing goes well bc how tf could it? The rest of the series is genuinely just everyone trying to figure out how the fuck anything is happening and why; + how the tf are they gonna survive much less win
JJK was pretty well at paving it’s own unique lane, but the Shibuya arc cemented it’s legacy as a force to be reckoned with. Gege Akutami spends a good portion of building the world and characters prior to the story and pretty much says, “okay, now all hell will break loose”.
Gojo has been from day one known to be the strongest. Can’t kill him? Expose his weakness of protecting civilians and seal him up and let’s see how all hell breaks loose without him. It’s like every single thing that could’ve gone wrong without Gojo, went absolutely wrong. We get to see first hand how fragile this Jujutsu society really is and how strong and scary the villains actually are, and how the protagonists are forced to not hold back at all.
It was the same feeling as a kid when you watch DBZ when Goku gets the heart virus and the Z Fighters are fighting for their lives against the Androids, but this was of course on a different level.
The sense of desperation that feels like everything is on the line. This wasn’t a mission, this was a damn declaration of war.
And the FIGHTS ARE PERFECT. The perfect mix of choreography, story beats, paneling, pacing. God it’s just so damn good.
JJK now set itself apart that it doesnt have to follow the rules. We have no idea who is safe in the series besides possibly Yuji, Megumi and Yuta. But even then that’s up in the air. That kind of anticipation of the unknown is masterfully done from this point on.
Very well said. What makes it even better, Gege said himself that at least one of the MC will die OR only 1 will live. So not even yuji and megumi are safe🤯
your point about knowing how powerful the villains actually are without gojo around couldn't be more right. Gojo was fighting like 4 special grade spirits without taking a single damage, didn't even go all out, and killed one of them, but without him gone you see mahito kill off Nanami and nobara(we have no idea yet but I think she's alive), seeing choso destroy yuji in their fight, and jogo killing naobito, violating maki and pretty much did 99% of damage to Nanami. I always thought jogo was fodder ever since his fight with gojo, but this arc proves how far away gojo and sukuna sit at the very top of the sorcerer world
@@farsous10 choso won but he didn’t destroy yuji lol everything was on point. I always had a feeling jogo was the biggest problem out of the group after mahito. This arc definitely confirmed it. Jogo vs Toji would have been fun to see!!
@@dantens2010 yea I might have exaggerated with choso, what I meant was we only ever got to see choso in action vs gojo but like I said it’s hard to gauge how powerful anyone is against him, so I honestly thought itadori was gonna win but choso proved to be stronger. Yea toji vs anyone powerful is fun to see, always interesting to see how people would react fighting against someone with no cursed energy
Maybe Yuji is safe to the very end of the story but I heard some fans saying that Gege confirmed Itadori, Megumi or Gojo will die for sure... I only wonder when it will happen:(
The memories that Todo and Choso had in their encounters with Yuji actually are NOT a cursed technique from Yuji himself. Gege confirmed this as well, they happened for entirely different reasons, it’s somewhat explained at the end of Shibuya in choso’s case.
Thank you for posting this! I think this went over most peoples head. Choso explains this
I think they are techinically brothers, itadori and choso as we see a scene with yujis mom and dad back when he was a baby and we see hi mom with the head stitch’s just like geto has when he is posssesed by the guy
@@fork4207 kenjaku literally confirmed a few chapters ago that Yuji is his son. Yuji is part cursed spirit which is why he has crazy strength. Chapter 160 is what confirms this too
@@fishnutz5196 We don’t know if he’s part cursed spirit yet since Kenjaku is a sorcerer/human.
@@xBrandon888 correct i should have worded what i said better. And i guess Choso is a cursed womb. Im also curious as to why Yuji and Sukuna look so much alike.
My favorite part of the arc has to be Sukuna appearing.. The way Gege doesn't disappoint with him is top tier... The anime is gonna go insane with this arc..
Facts
facts… he holds no bars with Sukuna
Sukuna is my favourite anime character.
Man's just shows up and decimated an entire town then bounced lmao.
a few weeks ago i bought volume 14 of jjk before even reaching there in the story turns out it start right in the climax of jogo vs sukuna and ends right as mahito "kills" nobara sage to say one of my best purchases
Two small nitpicks Choso and Yuji have a confirmed brotherly connection and Gege stated in his February 2021 interview Yuji does not have a false memory technique
yeah lol, yuji and choso are legitimately siblings via kenjaku and todo's just a goofy guy
I think Nanami here is slightly misunderstood. I don't think he didn't trust Yuji, he explicitly says that he considered Yuji's life more important and believed that the problem with curses was something for the adults to deal with and not for the kids. This is only thing he agrees with Gojo. He later sees Yuji's growth as a person and let's him fight along in his fight.
Megumi didn't tame Mahoraga. All ten shadows users can summon it through a ritual. Sukuna killed it but he wasn't part of the ritual so it doesn't count.
true
If he wants to tame him he will have to fight and win all alone
So it means Mahoraga still exists and it can be summoned again?
@@cynxmanga yes
@@percy.garou1001 Damn... it would be epic if Megumi would manage to tame it 😎
When you think about it, having a big climactic event like Shibuya this early in a series is quite unusual. I can´t think of anything in other shonen (or seinen but they are typicly structured different by nature) manga simillar or bigger in scale and stakes that started even before the 100th chapter.
Exactly when I heard stories about this arc I’m like damn already it’s going crazy like this? I been seen it for myself and I was like 😯 shit this is crazy
I also think in this era it is kind of needed at the same time. Most anime fans now want smaller stories with high action and good characters. I for one cant get into long running series as im getting older, as much as i love One Piece and Bleach i couldnt start another series like that haha
The only equal I can think of is the Pain Invasion arc.
@@JGD44 Is that Naruto? Have only watched unttill the beginning of Forrest of Death but fell off. Told myself that I would watch/ read both Naruto and One Piece this year but it’s not going well lol.
The closest thing I can think of is possibly the war arc in My Hero Academia. It sort of just happens out of nowhere and is pure chaos from beginning to end
Todo didn't actually utilize his curse technique before the final blow. That was, again, a distraction.
Mahito is also gone since Kenjaku absorbed him and got his transfiguration thing by extracting the technique, if I recall.
Also when he does that, it no longer grows in power. Which is why he took so long to just take him. Yuuji helped Mahito grow.
I’m happy someone else caught that lol
YES, i feel like everyone brushes over the fact that Mahito is not his own anymore. AND what makes it worse is that he was absorbed when he reached his peak as a curse so if kenjaku brings him back, he'll be strong af
@@alycatt2016 There is not any bringing him back, though?
He can just utilize him as a minion at best.
@@asdergold1 that's what's i was wondering too, kenjaku has only brought back special grade curses (tamamo no mae, smallpox deity, and kurourushi) that we had never seen really have their own personality like mahito and the other special grade curses. who knows if the curse personality stays the same or if that changes too. I also wonder how many special grade curses there are right now because i think geto said in volume zero that there were 16 special grade curses. But then he 😵 so he probably wasn't counting mahito and the others because they didn't exist at the time. but then, i'm pretty sure a few special grade curses were exorcised so now the original number i thought is wrong. sorry, i went iff topic but i have questioning that too
True
One of the best Shonen new-gen arcs. It's amazing all throughout, the planning, the fights, how Gojou is sealed taking advantage of his mind, Toji's "resurrection" and how he takes himself out after remembering Megumi, Sukuna's awakening, Sukuna vs Jogo, Sukuna vs Mahoraga, his rampage, Yuji's breakdown, Nanami's death, Nobara's possible death, Yuji & Todo vs Mahito, Yuji's character development
Actually Gege akutami has debunked that memory manipulation theory. The Todo stuff was just a gag. Choso's situation has been revealed to be different from Todo's and there is a reason for that.
yh they are actually related and chosos memory seemed like a realisation whilst todou was an imagination
I wonder if Gege always says truth, I mean what kind of an author would want to reveal their own mysteries by not using the story itself?
Shibuya Arc: everyone woke up and chose violence
The MOMENT Nobara started having a backstory flashback, I immediately knew she was going to die. That being said, if it is a feint by the author to exploit that trope, it's an odd way of doing it. As you said, she doesn't really have a goal beyond fighting curses so making her death here isn't tragic for her character only Yuji's. This feels like the start of a transformation for her new character goal or her obtaining reversed curse technique since the author reminded us on her reason for her becoming a sorcerer in the first place through the flashback rather than the end of her character.
I don't know if we'll get another Maki...
@@cynxmanga what’s wrong with having more strong female characters. Nobara has a potential with the fact she easily damaged him. I’m betting the core of curse energy resurrection will happen like Gojo. But expect a massive character change.
@@opposite_hedgehog_753 I mean, I'm totally not against the idea, it just seems to me she would have to reappear with new strenght but in a different way than Maki. I wouldn't want Nobara's transformation look too similar to Maki's experience.
@@cynxmanga I think Gege puts a lot of thoughts when he chose them as the main leads. The way he wrote them, he had planned for them all. The main trio I believe will have a big role in the endgame.
Nobara's MIA status is the beginning of her new development and a power up. Ex. see Maki and Yuta who had not appear in many chapters, once they come back, Gege gives them the spotlight which they deserve. I don't think Nobara is the exception, Gege has a lot of stuff on his sleeves, it won't suprise me if Nobara's come back in the most suprising way.
Learning about her character as the one who are the most well-define in who she is, it's not impossible with Gege starting her comeback where she's at her weakest point. In which the damage that Mahito's cuz on her making her lost sense of who she is. Or worst Kenjaku has a plan perhaps, half of her through the idle transfiguration already possesed by him therefore Nobara's true fight is where she struggles to keep her real self, and not letting Kenjaku fully possesed her.
When gege akutami shows you someone's past, that character may get a goode comeback. So fingers cross for Nobara. I think nobara is more mature than both boys but she still hasn't learned an important part of life- mercy which yuji possess.
Definitely my favorite JJK arc. excited to see what’s next from Gojo!
Gojo satoru will go feral when he finds out what happened to nanami and nobara
@@aboody8618 he probably be proud of her doing the same thing as Gojo when he gotten stronger from that Toji fight. I think Yaga is more heartbreaking since Gojo and Nobara have never had a one to one interaction
@@aboody8618 this aged well
💀
The Shibuya Arc is my favorite fictional arc of any piece of fiction ever, this arc is a 10/10 and Peak Fiction. Can’t wait to see it animated in all its glory.
How Many manga have u read?
@@unitedant DONT TELL ME YOU GONNA RECOMMEND HIM BERSERK 👀👀
@@skullzie69420 nah im just curious cuz I think if shibuya is his fav arc in fiction then he probably doesn't read that many manga. It's an awesome arc but the best fictional arc? Nah
@@unitedant yesss i agree if he starts reading golden age arc from berserk then his opinion could change drastically 😂😂😂
@@skullzie69420 how much do u rate Shibuya?
Fully agree about the story getting darker - it's made all the more tragic by how much Gojo and Nanami wanted Itadori and the other kids to enjoy their childhood. It was a motif that really made this manga stand out for me, that the mentors actually acknowledged the younger characters as the children they are, and made an effort to give them the childhood freedoms they deserved. Now they've been forced out of everything they knew, their mentor figures killed or dismantled, and they're on their own trying to survive in a new and dangerous world.
You were wrong on a few things, todo when he claps with one arm he didn’t use he technique it was dead at that point as he even said those exact words. Also sukuna’s domain expansion isn’t him becoming an artist that was just a reference to as how glorious his domain expansion was. It was akin to an artist making a masterpiece in thin air” another error was you said megumi tamed great general but he didn’t all he did was summon it and nearly die right after sukuna defeated it and voided the contract made with him to keep him if he wins
and also tojis sould didnt take over that one guys sould, tojis body took over the guy's soul
This arc set JJK apart from everything else and has placed it in a league of its own imo. The feeling reading this arc was so nostalgic, can’t remember the last time I was this captivated
when toji enters Dagon's domain, his pose is similar to the Tarot Card Hanged Man
I love this arc. This arc showed that Gojo is the protagonist even though he isn’t the main character and I love it.
Also the sisters mimiko and nanako only fed yuji one finger. Jogo fed him 10. Remember sukuna killed the girls because they asked him to kill kenjaku for a finger.
I've been waiting for this video for a while, shibuya arc is my favorite arc in JJK, so much happened and I really needed a proper break down, this video does wonders.
Dude the memory implantation thing has been long debunked
Yuji's "false memories" technique has been confirmed by akutami to not be a foreshadowing of any cursed technique or of the sorts. He said both choso and todo experiences false memories, but for different reasons
Choso doesnt have false memories he is Yuji's brother
I just love everything about it from it being Halloween to how Gege gives you the time of when each event occurs kinda like Kubo with Fake Karakura but he doubles down on it
yea jjk is great but this shit was just made it my 2 favourtie anime like holy shit so many questions, great story, beautiful and amazing action and paneling and panels, made love the characters even more just a 10 out of 10 arc like mhmmmmmmmmm also i really love the vid and you gave a lot of context in areas i thought were confusing thank you very much
I couldn't stop reading when I hit this arc. It was really one of the best manga arcs I have ever read EVER. for me its up there with pain invasion, enies lobby/marineford, soul society, chimera ant, yorknew ect. Ik these are big statements but I stand by them
Nobara could've been given a better story-end (true), however... looking for equality between protagonists in anime is foolish, watch american comics if you want to see that. Even Nobara once said she doesn't care about "woman this, man this, woman that, man that, nonsense" during her fight with Momo in the tokyo-kyoto exchange school event.
Genuinely jjk has risen to be one of my favourite manga series of all time
Can’t wait to Nobara’s comeback and I agree with you
This arc will be crazy in the anime. The closest thing we have to chimera ant is the only thing I can say
How is this very similar to Chimera Ant Arc?
@@baconmacon5553 I think he/she means in terms of storytelling & development. I mean both are considered some of the best shonen arcs ever so they're not wrong.
@@Comicbroe405 thank you. The shibuya arc would need a suitable storyteller in the anime
For me Shibuya incident arc reminds me of YorkNew Arc but with far more dire consequences.
@@Comicbroe405 yeah I'm not seeing the similarities. Is it cause of deaths? Shibuya is its own thing. The chimera just seems like dragged out melodrama.
After shibuya arc, the culling game arc i dropped this manga, it just all over the place, no coherent narrative, exposition dump in massive amount, it just a light novel at this point, it feels like the author wanted to change the story mid way and introducing new world, new character dumped out of nowhere like stern ritters in bleach, there to just fight and killed, gags are fell off in newer season, hard topic writing is predictable and man i just hate seeing it that way, i really really enjoy everything until the shibuya arc
Spoiler alert !!, look at zen'in family, they built up with these character in the MIDDLE, not in the beginning, they only plaster up names then the whole family introduced, i was expecting a war or something it just for a sake of the growth of ONE character the entire family exist, why... Just why... Why are they built up like that, the leader clan fighting yuuji and wanting to kill fushiguro, give us all out war for that, it just boil down to a joke "i will be the next heir of zen'in family" the next page it's read "that day the zen'in family massacred
Exactly, the current arc kinda random not only that and as you said some chapters give you the impression that you're reading a light novels and not reading a chapters.
I remember someone said that some chapters needs to be read for more than 3 times to understand them because of the amount of information that the chapters have and this is exactly what I felt in the current arc at that time I said to myself I need to stop reading JJK until this arc gets finished.
why would there be a all out war against the zenins.
Culling games arent even that complicated.
@@pomepau7082 ya lol some people exaggerate it to be complicated when it is actually easy to understand.Sure there are some things that needs a reread to understand but even those aren't complicated
11:32 Yuji has no such abilities. Spoilers:
Its just choso's internal brother alarm forcibly going off. Its revealed later that kenjaku had taken over yuji's mother at one point and we already know he was noritoshi kamo the evilest sorcorer in jujutsu history who created the death paintings. So in a fucked up way choso and yuji are indeed siblings. The todo thing is just todo being todo. And yujis later fight with Higuruma he got his cursed energy taken rather then cursed technique because he doesn't have one yet.
Honestly I don't remember the last time I read an arc that really broke its protaganist down, and where even their victories are meaningless compared to their lost. I really hope Nobara lives and gets stronger, because I get a team 7 done right vibe from her.
Please don't get me wrong I love the Shibuya Arc but I disagree about the best Manga arc because I see the Dark Tournament arc and Soul Society arc are better than this arc.
They weren't lying that this is one of the best, if not the best arc in any manga. It's up there with Return to Shiganshina and Chimera Ant arc. Arguably better since the anime adaptation beats any of them. Truly a masterpiece from Gege Akutami
it was mid
@@Wally_West alright cry about it
Tbh ion think they can kill itadori even if they wanted to . You can’t kill him without getting rid of sukuna and it’s only a matter of time till itadori learns how to heal him self using sukuna powers
SPOILER ALERT
HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED WTF
Edit: ONLY JJK
@@redcold8855 lol yea but now he’s using reverse cursed energy to heal himself without him even knowing it
JJK season 1 was enjoyable but this arc possibly turned it into a manga that could go down as a new gen classic, if the ending goes well I definitely see that happening
I dont really believe Nobara is dead. Though i think it would be incredibly impactful to keep her dead. However, if she was going to be dead he would have shown a scene to confirm and pay respect to her in between Shibuya and the Culling games. I think it would be a little late to confirm her death after the culling games since it will have been quite some time since it happened.
I pretty sure Akutami is setting up a power boost similarly to Gojo. Where he self resurrected to get stronger. Is no surprise she comes back stronger
Yup, and i think this is a Plot armour. Mahito touched the half face of Nobara instead of her full face.
@@dhruvsenju well that’s fine. She’s a tritagonist after all
What happen to her?
@@sulaimanpendi4916 Well since you asked. SPOILER ALERT:
Mahito touched her face and blew half of it off. her eyeball was splattered on the ground. its unconfirmed whether or not she's dead, but she has been out of action for over 70 chapters at this point.
I wouldnt call the arc the BEST but it's definitely great.
I'm interested why
29:53 We already have a strong female chara, Maki... I don't know if Nobara will really come back but if it will happen then I bet it will be the happiest and most hyped event of the manga.
I like how you chose to play the "I will survive" song here :')
This breakdown is absolutely amazing not only bc of all these great topics you explained but bc you basically avoided the character I truly dislike - the money-greedy woman (I didn't even bother to remember her name). She's so extremely unlikable, not to mention her incestous behavior 🙄 like, who tf asked for this sort of character to be here? I really couldn't cate less about her part in the whole arc. Unless she'll change drastically in future but I highly doubt it.
The one thing i love about this arc so much is how well paced it is. Such density of character arcs, storylines, and intervening fights is packed into a single event, and the way all of the separate cogs of this arc turn around each other and complement one another. It help see the shibuya arc as not a set of events, with a main protagonist and their path as the focus, but a jumbled net of different pieces of a singular story. The storytelling makes it seem incredible because it forms a complex event that is still manageable to follow and enjoy because we never know what is truly going to happen next.
Wait sukuna fought that thing to save magumi? Damn
Shibuya incident anime just ended any thoughts?
He doesn't distract Gojo for a minute, seeing his long dead friend causes more than a minute to "flash before his eyes" which activates prison realm. The minute is metaphysical
I've been waiting for this one! Shibuya arc is just death
Edit: can't hear any audio
Refresh the video please, the audio works on my end.
@@DBZimran I refreshed. Audio is fixed thx a lot!
Finally the arc I've been waiting for you to cover
"The best manga arc" is a big of a stretch
It’s kinda weird how you can read and analyze all of JJK and misunderstand Yuji and and Choso’s relationship. They are literally biological brothers, this is explained just a couple chapters after
Fantastic video, and maybe someone pointed this out, but slight correction for a super well put together summary. Aoi Todo no longer has boogie woogie, since he can’t clap. He stated it was the acclamation of the soul, and when he smacked his stub into his hand, nobody switched places, since it was a bluff, and he stated that his boogie woogie technique is no longer a possibility for him. It just caught mahito off guard with the bluff. Besides that, almost nothing is wrong here!!
MHA decides to go dark, it's gonna b hard to compare MHA to JJK tone wise.
I like both but when they get animated, ohh shit that's gonna b tough
3:03 I disagree That its as good as the Chimera ant arc but I respect your opinion
Megumi never tamed Mahoraga. He summoned Mahoraga as part of the taming ritual, and forced him to take part in the ritual. Sukuna came and killed the Shikigami, so it voided the ritual. Megumi will have to re-summon the Shikigami to restart the taming ritual.
You are one of my favorite content creators. I love your videos and I keep watching for more and more. Please keep up the great work! I would love for you to cover Maki vs the Zenin Clan please!
2023 just wait for another year for it to release the anime. I mean this is fire ! But 2022 we saved the hype for chain saw man , which is also give out similar vibe to JJK. I finished the manga but yeah the character in chainsaw man is like jjk but in different universes with different story line.
I'm so ready for this to get animated, my friends will never hear the end of it
I am a regular manga reader of jjk and following it from first chapter. First few chapters were slow and setup but when the Shibuya arc started jjk became one of my favourite anime of all time
Great video as always bro! I love JJK and you do such a good job recapping it. Maybe after you can move to character analysis? Thanks!
what are you talking about? this is rubbish, the best manga arc is the golden age arc from berserk
I hated this arc it's just carnage honestly just feel like it was all just a waste of fucking time why care about any character when they just abandon every thing built with senseless death and power boosts out the ass
What power boost ant see no power boosts
29:00 he didn't exorcise Mahoraga btw
Wait... His ability to implant false memories?... *Has flashbacks*.. I thought it was a coincidence 😭 He doesn't know does he?
The antagonists have just been running amuck ever since shibuya 😢
So if Sukuna killed Mahoraga, Megumi wont be able to use it again ?
If yes, will his powers be paases onto other shikigamis ?
No Sukuna killing mahoraga just canceled the ritual since megumi didn’t already control mahoraga
No there is enough strong wahmen characters in everything else we dont need it in here too
???
Nanami was one of my favorite characters i was so heartbroken for a couple of days after i read the part where he died. I now think to myself “how badass was nanami to survive the two previous attacks and still have the stones to walk up to mahito like that”. He went out like a G.
Gojo needed to go. Having a character so much stronger than the rest of the cast hurt the narrative gravely
Not if they're done right & he has been throughout the series. There are ways to keep him outta fights like in the tournament arc, have him travel to deal with other threats like the cursed womb or spread him thin like Shibuya. For an overarching arc having him sealed is a great way to handle it but not the only way b/c we know some veils can keep him out & there's a lot of old sorcerers with powerful techniques being revealed. Just like with Yuta they could make him take on a colony alone so we could see him but he'd only affect the story so much
Nah, if anything gege did a great job handling gojo
Gojo is one of the few op anime characters I like. His powers are kinda bs to me, like dude can’t be touched literally. He more than makes yo for that in his character value. JJK weaved a barrage of gunfire in terms of cliches and plot holes when they wrote Gojo. Yes, Gojo is the big bro of JJK no one wants smoke with, but he’s also a genuinely likeable character, that serves his narrative role of teacher, badass and comedian.
I will say that while he does change some throughout the story but for the most part, he’s maintained his same ideals and goals and he’s never tested. That’s the unavoidable drawback of having a character that broken. But things have the potential to change drastically when he gets free from the prison realm. A lot of shit went down, seeing his students get murdered and seeing all his hard work at achieving his dream be lost might be a trigger that could activate a true character arc for Gojo as well. It would literally have to be that because the only other option is he stays in the prison cause no one is beating him if he turns.
Good character base, interesting, if broken, powers and the potential to have a character progression on par with zuko.
It’s still fuck his powers tho. When it was first fully explained how broken Gojo is my first fear is that madara reincarnated into another anime to solo that universe too. I was pleasantly surprised seeing the opposite happen
2 areas to mention. One is a correction, the other you failed to mention. 1: Megumi didn’t exorcise Maharaga. That was the whole plot point about it basically being a suicide mission to summon him. Other shikigami
users have summoned him but none could exorcise him, including Megumi at that time. 2: You mentioned Uzumaki but not the seriousness of it. Kenjaku mentions that Uzumaki is a specific type of ability that exists parallel with a Domain Expansion. Only a select few sorcerers can use an ability of that class but that revealed that there are abilities equal to or greater than a domain expansion. Aside from that, awesome review man!
Damn, I haven't even thought of it that way. Yuji implanting false memories makes so much sense though. If he can manifest that ability he could make it so powerful as to make every single enemy, EVEN Sukuna, a friend. But to be fair, that would be a bit broken. Need more Jujutsu sorcerers? Just befriend a special grade curse.
Great video, just made me love JJK even more.
Don’t worry Akutami told me Kugisaki Nobara is fine
Me and my friend made a bet on whose death with kill the fanbase with rage and sadness the most: Nobara and Nanami.
I say Nanamis death with hurt the most.
I hate spoiler warning. As if the video’s title is about something then it should be discussed in it’s entirety. This is post Shibuya.
A couple years ago there were two huge news articles in Japan. 1) a mentally handicap hospital employee was sentenced & blamed for killing someone on life support. The detectives knew she wanted a boyfriend>Husband & kids. One of them used this, saying if she signed the confession he would love her & marry her. She signed. Her lawyer fought for 8 years to get her releases. She was completely innocent. Death was natural. This was known at the start but family pressured the hospital.
2) a judge came out and admitted he sentenced innocent people to even death. As he couldn’t argue with his coworkers/elders decisions. Even when it came just down to him, he couldn’t contradict the others previous ruling. And it’s very widespread issue.
The cloak in JJK is like when the news organizations claimed Fukushima was safe. But when an independent journalist went to the same spot with his own detector it proved it was extremely dangerous. Or even the Covid cases that even post olynpics are manipulated.
Lastly at the start of the series when they pointed out, schools & hospitals and offices( by drawing factories) being likely cursed locations, due to negative energy which is just straight up psychological issues, overworked, over stress being the basis of the power system in JJK is so genius.
I bring this up as in chapters 150~160ish shows a distraught lawyer and his backstory.
PS: love the author for having the main character be relatable. Not having a dream to be the strongest. Hell so many people have talents but didn’t care for them. But Yuji just being a cog. How important cogs are, yet underestimated by those with grandiose thoughts/desires. And how strong, intelligent, powerfully willed people can be by supporting others. They may not run major organizations or try to change the world, but they support those who are.
There’s so much more ~ but mainly wanted to point that lawyer scene out. And how much the author is saying indirectly and directly.
just want to let you know the memory ability is not yuji power gege confirmed this.
when shibuya animated its gonna break the internet
Ive only just started readin manga for the first time and i started with this and it was insane
Edited: Deleted as was too long, and covered more then just the Shibuya arc.
But will say, JJK is so god damn good. One Piece gets so much credit for world building, foreshadowing & unique story telling techniques.
But JJK symbolizes real issues in Japan so well, so many political views, social issues, mindsets of many.
Wether it’s been the dwindling countryside, people doing anything they can to leave. The value on $ in regards to just obtaining it, not even spending it. But also the author reaching out to those working 9-5’s.
There’s reason why McDonald’s in the west can vary dramatically from day to day or location to location, while in the East it’s consistent.
Same with how clean things are.
Not everyone has big dreams, or goals that others might think are rather simple but to the individual it’s a big deal.
Yuji’s growth regarding his goal is so good too.
I'll come back to this when the anime catches up, but I AM looking forward to it.
I loved tf out of the Soul Society arc and Yuji's last bout with Kenjaku and Kenjaku's departure took me back to Ichigo's first bout with Aizen and Aizen's departure. I just can't get enough of the references because Bleach has been my favourite shonen for years now!!
One of the best Anime/manga videos I’ve listened to in a long time. You have a new avid listener!
"Usually in manga there a portion of the story "..which goes over my head..and I patiently wait for it to be animated..🙂
This is the best video about the Shibuya Arch. Thank you!
If you're in denial about Nobara, so am I. Won't believe until they tell me. Explicitly.
Hope for a Chainsawman video as well
This was a amazing Arc. I've read it four times.
Wow, I won't rank this arc that high, because the gojo past arc was better than the Shibuya arc.
Exactly 💯.
No the shibuya insdent is just so damm good i can t campret to the other arcs
Good arc. Gonna have to reread, cause going week by week especially with the 1 or 2 breaks he took it got hard to remember everything happening. But anyway, I wouldn't say its on the same level of Chimera Ant Arc at all dude. Like it was good but not as good as you're saying it is imo.
its not actully geto, since he died in the movie, its kenjaku(idk how to say his name) using getos dead body.
Daddy Toji is back
As Megumi says, when the exorcism is done with another sorcerer, the Shikigami isn't tamed even when defeated. He even says it's "useless" unless used in a way he did in this arc - defeating an opponent at your own expense. So he still doesn't have the Mahoraga under his belt yet...
What happened to the audio 😕
Refresh the video please, the audio works on my end.
@@DBZimran there we go it works now
So I haven't gone past chapter of the manga and with everything I've been hearing about the Shibuya incident arc (all spoiler-free ofcourse so I am un-spoiled) I am on the fence if I should read it or wait till the anime gets to it.
Would like your opinion,
Type 1 if you feel I should read or 2 if you feel I should wait for it to be animated.
Just read it because you're going to watch it regardless
@@DBZimran JJK is very complicated and there is SOOO much going on in the Shibuya arc that I would read it before the anime. I don't think it in anyway will spoil it, it may make it so you can enjoy it more because you won't be trying to figure out some of the techniques and stuff going on or worrying about the timeline so much because a bunch of this is happening simultaneously.
I’ve read the arc and am caught up. Currently rereading and just got through it again. I don’t know why I’m watching this video but I’m damn sure it’ll be interesting.
The mother of yuji and choso are the same, its not a false memory as you think . Toto that he experienced about the memory are just random,he just overthink about it
I agree when I saw the panel of Nobara's "death" I immediately thought yeah my girl ain't dead.
Hey dude give blood blockade battlefront a try completely underrated
Other Shonen Manga Artist:How am i going to handel all these characters????
Gege:All these overpowered characters and one solution:Death.
