- Guys, for the Black Flash part, it should be ^2.5, not 2.5x. Also, the purpose of the video is to keep things simple and easy to understand, so I only covered the most important and necessary details. In the future, I’ll make a part 2 where I’ll explain more.
Description:
In this video, I break down the concept of Cursed Energy from Jujutsu Kaisen in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Learn how this mysterious force powers the Jujutsu Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits within the series.

Guys, before commenting, check out the second part of the video! I corrected the Black Flash, provided more details on Hollow Purple, and explained manga exclusive abilities ;)
Unfortunately the first RUclipsr to understand hollow (+1🔴) + (-1🔵) =0🟣 (the same proportion of curse for blue and red, if they aren't only focus the circles intersections which can analogically see as addition without involving the geometrical aspect)....people keep saying purple is a continuous attraction and repulsion (they must follow this channel👍), JJK Last season in chapters perspective was ruined by the readers and their understanding... Also several people didn't understand that Sukuna survived those purple 🟣 with domain amplification instead of curse energy reinforcement (when you understand purple's nature, how it disintegrate matter and how Sukuna was oblige to use DA even against 🔵 and 🔴, it's more than logical).
Correction on the Hollow Purple:
It doesn't erase things, it's rips them apart through space on the atomic level.
Red pushes, and blue pulls. What happens if you push and pull at the same time? You rip it.
More people need to understand this. It causes a lot of unnecessary headache when powerscaling.
Simple example
Take a paper
Use 1 of ur hand pull the paper
Ur other hand push the paper
The paper rip , that how hollow purple work
That obvious btw
so like a rasengan
but actually destructive
You forgot to mention Cursed Technique Reversals, Hollow Wicker Basket, veils, barrier techniques, falling blossom emotion
This^^^ he should make a pt 2
open domains, cursed objects, reincarnated sorcerers as well
binding vows
@@v03edand barriers, basically everything in jujutsu is based on those two principles
Getting angry doesn’t increase the amount of cursed energy you have, cursed users need to keep tight control over their emotions to use cursed energy effectively , the amount of cursed energy one can hold seems to be genetic
But they can learn eventually anyway, its just their peak of cursed energy is gonna be shit 😂
the amount of cursed energy you have is limited since birth
which is why some sorcerers while MAY have the skills to expand their own domain, dont have the CE reserve to actually do it
Yeah, he understood wrong this part
It actually only increases it's output, not it's quantity, but with the downside that the user may not be able to get a hold of themselfs
@@angeltier987 u actually could be angry and controlled bro. Just letting u know.
@@quasogod yeah, the only thing you can do is improve your efficiency.
Correction: Max Technique and Max Output aren’t the same the thing.
Max Output is what you described - Pushing a Technique to its highest strength
Max Technique is (most of the time) a visually and effectively different technique from its base version. (Like for Example, Jogo’s MT is Meteor if he was to use Max Output it’d be just hotter fire)
Max Technique would be more of an extention of said technique(Ember Insects(Jogo), Hairpin(Nobara), all the B Manip(Choso, Yuji and Kamo) moves, etc), but just in it's most powerful form. Thing is, only a few characters have Max Techniques, most have a "Strongest Move(Hollow Purple(Infinity), Mahoraga(10 Shadows), Black Hole(Star Rage), Perfect Sphere(Construction), etc)", but very rarely a Max Technique.
Petition to make the divided one's max technique either be a mini supernova(red), or yuki's blackhole on crack(blue)
@@danaa- yeah, maximum technique is your greatest (not necessarily strongest) among your extension technique.
So, don't mess with depressed people?
ye
Especially if they don’t want you to come to school tomorrow
Real
You will just blow up
“With this sacred treasure I summon…”
I replied to someone else with this but i'll just make a standalone comment. Some people have been saying "no if your angry it doesnt boost your attack it just wasted cursed energy" which is yet another example of JJK fans not being able to read. if your angry, you have a lot more readily available negative emotions, which would normally lead to waste due to overflow. but sorcerers specifically train not to inhibit these emotions but to harness the rise in emotional density. Its a lot easier to call upon anger when you have something to be angry about rather than nothing
This is proven by a good portion of Yujis fights tbh…..he almost always peaks when he’s angry
And with the last chapter telling us Sukuna was really just angry at the world for his unwantedness….its probably safe to say that anger is part of the reason he was so strong.
It’s said in the literal chapter that gojo first explains the difference of cursed energy and cursed techniques.
You just need negative emotions to USE cursed energy and if you become too angry you begin to waste that cursed energy you use.
Being more angry just means you use more cursed energy while making it leak more.
Using more cursed energy doesn’t just naturally give you a power buff or else sukuna would just one tap everyone.
black flash is actually way stronger than what you explained in the video. it doesn’t multiply the strength by 2.5, it multiplies it to the POWER of 2.5 - it’s an exponential boost, not linear.
so if a punch’s power is 100, a black flash will fucking skyrocket that power to 100,000
He made a mistake and then told you to check the description
3:39 black flash doesn’t 2.5x your power, it raises it to the power of 2.5. So the example’s black flash power output would be: 100^2.5=(100^0.5)^5=10^5=100,000 so much, much stronger than 250. Black flash is crazy
Gege himself said that he made a mistake
And since cursed energy is negative, power of 2.5 means that you get imaginary cursed energy, which isn't a thing in JJK
@@thenatron6136 La energía maldita es energía imaginaria.
Y Gege solo hablo de que le dio valor 0 a la energía maldita y que el multiplicador no funcionaria por ello aplicando números.
@@thenatron6136 cursed energy is negative ENERGY, not just "negative"
the amount of cursed energy you have is most definitely positive lmfao
also, "positive energy" or "reverse cursed technique" is produced not by "reversing" cursed energy or by "being happy" but by multiplying cursed energy against itself
@@quasogod So when you do black flash it works normally, but when using RCT it suddenly works like negative numbers?
It doesn’t really make sense if you think about it because if your punching power had a unit, raising it to 2.5 would give you a power raised to 2.5 instead of a power (just like how length times length gives you a surface). That’s why the concept doesn’t make much sense (and why it becomes weird for people with a power inforeior to one unit)
Btw common mistake hollow purple was never said to erase things all purple does is pull apart and push away stuff on a molecular level thousand or millions of times a second.
Yea, alot of people are mistaken that it erases matter
Correct.
It generates a large amount of virtual mass by generating a spatial anomaly. It then barrels forwards for a bit, pulverizing everything with its immense kinetic energy before vanishing.
It’s similar in strength to a weaker artillery barrage.
@@jasonbrose6743That explanation doesn't make any sense. First of all, Gojo has called it "imaginary mass" before. Imaginary mass and virtual mass are completely different concepts and the fact that the translators/Gege used it interchangeably tells me it's not supposed to operate like the real concept of virtual mass at all. We also see Hollow Purple warp space before getting fired and leave perfectly clean holes that wouldn't make sense if it operated like artillery (the way it hit Toji for example).
@shepardice3775 that’s a mistranslation. Virtual mass (the physical concept found in fluid dynamics) is the cause of hollow purple’s might.
The kinetic energy is very, very high because of this. It essentially slams air at incredible speeds into you, punching holes through anything and everything.
Depleted uranium shells at high enough speed can do similar damage, it’s just that they also explode while doing so.
@@jasonbrose6743Trying to apply real physics to this is crazy lol. Virtual mass is part of how you calculate drag. Basically, the object is heavier than it appears because of air resistance. If HP is just a ball of "virtual mass" (a concept that already doesn't make any sense) why did it impart zero momentum on Toji? Why didn't it shatter the walls behind him which was already damaged? It should've torn through Toji, unclean, thrown him to the side, destroyed the building behind him and left scorch marks because of how fast it was travelling, if you want to bring real physics into this.
I like the fact that abilities like these can be obtained normally when you start to realize how much potential you are capable of displaying.
i love how in jjk everyone has all these super complex cursed techniques and loopholes in how they work while Yuji just beats the shit out of everyone and Mai pulls up with the Hollow Point Technique: Fuckning Hand Gun
It's literally the definition of "you dont wanna see me angy" and "you dont wanna see my bad side"
"Binding vows are more than just verbal statements"
Sukuna- "And I took that personally."
Can't wait to use my cursed technique after losing 25x rank matches.
I feel like Hollow Purple is not just erasing since Sukuna would have literally died instantly when Gojo used it as a nuke.
I think it just continously attracts and retracts objects into themselves at unimaginable speeds until the target turns to particles of particles that rip themselves apart.
it does erase things but it was stated that sukuna used domain amplification (wich nulifies completely a technique) but since hollow purple is too powerfull, sukuna stil got some damage in the arms
@@botq2444He took damage when he used Domain Amplification on Red as well
@@Medallion.Star. same thing, he said one page after the damage that by gojo's output being pretty high he still took some damage
@@botq2444 Yeah, I know. I was just saying that he also took damage from Red
@botq2444 HP doesn't erase things. It's just really destructive virtual mass. An example of a technique that can just erase anything is Yorozu's True Sphere.
Also with black flash, its said that its so precise that its essentially impossible to intentionally land one. If you do manage to do it, its not something you can practice and its pure luck. However once you hit a single black flash, for a period afterwards your mind will be enhanced and you will essentially be on an adrenaline high or "in the zone" which will make all your fighting more precise , you will still deal that extra percentage of damage, and while in that state you will actually be able to consitently land additional black flashes
bro explained the power system better in 5 minutes than 269 entire chapters
bcos he explained wrong
powers system is actually explained alot look we da full page of text we get maybe since the anime doesn’t have a narrator it’s more confusing
black flash raises the damage dealt by an attack to the power of 2.5.
to those saying the translator is wrong, Gege's sentence at least goes along the lines of "I sought something more impactful, and thought of exponents." Using this sentence, we can use knowledge from our 7th grade math class to understand that he is talking about exponents, since exponents are more impactful than multiplication.
in addition, force is the result of mass X acceleration. if black flash multiplied the force by 2.5, that would mean that mass and/or acceleration of a sorcerer's body would drastically increase, but this does not happen. this is why black flash raises the damage dealt, and not the actual force behind the attack. this is how Sukuna was able to tank black flashes from Gojo, which would have vaporized a cursed spirit like Jogo.
@@absolutes5746 thank you for actually reading the manga
Everyone seems to forget about it, but when Gojo is explaining Domain Expansion in season 1 he says ,,One such benefit is the boost to stats due to enviromental factors.'' Yuji responding with ,,Oh! Like buffs in video games!"
Gojo doesn't correct Yuji, (he goes on to explain the sure-hit effect) meaning that was most likely what he meant, an actual stat-buff, and not the enviroment itself assisting you as a metaphorical buff, just a pure stat buff.
It's not really mentioned anywhere else (at least in the anime, I haven't read the manga) but it was stated by the honoured one himself so it must be true. 🤷♀
Yup, the characters get a straight up buff when their domain is active.
For Black Flash it's not by a factor of 2.5, but the exponent of 2.5
iirc gege changed this in an authors note, but I can't find it. His math explanations are sometimes a little wacky.
I'll use the power of 2 to simplify math in the explanation.
If someone's strength is a 1, then 1² is still 1.
If an attack is less than 1, black flash implies the attack gets weaker.
This also creates issues where the exponent grows quickly out of control.
Let's say a nobara punch is strength of 2.
2² is 4.
Nobara has doubled her strength. Awesome!
Let's say a yuji punch is strength of 10 strength.
10² is 100. Uh oh.
10 is only 5 times stronger than 2, but the black flash has become 25 times stronger. These sorts of calculations quickly balloon, and soon no one would be able to take a stronger characters black flash.
It only works well with small numbers, but if the numbers are small, it implies that gojo isn't more than 5 times stronger than nobara, which also doesn't sound right.
That was overruled in the anime because that makes no sense
Cursed energy? Cursed technique? Domain expansion?
Look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power.

-Hakari probably.
this is just nen all over again
Worse nen.
Xd
@@low-keyvibin3189true
Nen but worse
why do yall think it's "worse"
1:31 Every Technique, with the exception of Yuki Tsukumo's technique, can be explained in some way or put into semantic or pragmatic principles, the Limitless for example, if you look closely, is simply math
This video explained better cursed energy in 5min than the entire two seasons of the show
-simple domain is still the domain, mastered it enough will make your simple domain grant a guaruntee hit like a domain expansion.
-you forgot domain amplification. Domain amplification is another defensive technique to lowering incoming attack damage. However, domain amplification forces you to fight hand to hand
Gege literally made a crit attack
If thats how it work than an entire cod lobby would just pulverise the entire world 💀☠️
I'm not gonna lie. Even though I like JJK but not a huge fan of it. I would've never fully figured how all of this works until now. I thank you.
i like how every anime has these and somehow fit goku into it
People with anger issues would be strong asl
I would be undefeated
@@youdontknowme2913 me too
No because if you don't put a limit on your energy output it will drain you consistently. You could technically use your anger to get to levels of strength equivalent to sukuna, but unless your pool is that large you will die
Gojo says that you still need to contain your emotions or things wont go well
They’d really just be loose cannons. Yeah they have a lot of energy but it’s like trying to hit a fly with a sledgehammer
so youre telling me that hulk, if he existed in jjk, would be unstoppable
Pretty much I guess. Even without cursed energy, hulk already has crazy durability, strength, and regeneration. If he somehow learns to control cursed energy and learns reversed cursed technique, he'd be very strong even without an innate technique. Although some jjk characters can still defeat him with their hax, like Higuruma with his insta kill execution sword, Takaba with his reality manipulation skill, or Sukuna with his world cutting slash. If they can't defeat him, they could just seal him using prison realm.
Wonder what would happen if Yuji Itadori and Gojo get their own Red Lantern rings.
Great video, but theres one inaccuracy, that being the black flash timing. Gojo says that if it was a 0.00000000001 time between fist and energy, then he would be able to replicate it 100% of the time with six eyes. Something else triggers it
hmmmm, that's super interesting! But in the Kyoto vs Tokyo school event, Aoi Todo explained it like that, so it is a new interpretation of the Black Flash that Gojo revealed, not that it is inaccurate necessarily.
(A real correction would actually be that in the anime, they translated the multiplicative factor of the Black Flash wrong, it is not by 2.5 times, but by a power of 2.5, so 10 "cursed energy" would be ~316, and 100 would be 100 000
Fun fact: you don’t actually HAVE to preform the full hand-signs to produce a domain expansion. The hand-signs are described as “an expression of the soul” so you don’t have to do the full thing. I think it was Hakari who first showed this, but I could be wrong.
actually the first to show this was dagon, because he made the hand-sing but naobito kicks him to interrupt him, but dagon do domain expansion even so he was interrupted
You need hand signs, Hakari used a binding vow so he wouldn't need his hands to cast his domain, that proves hand signs are a absolute requisite since he needed to go out of his way to bypass the system
EVERY sorcerer makes hand signs or at least makes a gesture before casting a domain, Mahito creates hands in his mouth to simulate hand signs and Dagon drew hand signs on his stomach because his fingers were cut off
@@davizinho1764He was interrupted but he made the hand signs on his stomach instead
Domains are built through barrier techniques like veils you use barrier techniques through hand signs.
You forgot domain amplifications, they let you neutralize domains or any cursed technique, in exchange you can’t use your cursed technique while you have domain amplification active. The cursed spirits used against Gojo’s infinity in shibuya.
part2…maybe!
Forgot about barriers completely
I think a better explanation for Purple comes out of Gojo's mouth: Imaginary mass. All the time, randomly, everywhere, pairs of photons and antiphotons appear and annihilate each other instantly before they can interact with anything. Gojo's Purple accelerates this process, creating so much imaginary mass, that some of the anti-photons delete a tiny bit of matter while the photon escapes as light.
so jjk power system is basically mental health psychology
lol
Sukuna binding vows be like: "I get 50000000000000000 times my cursed energy, but my left ball hairs hurt a little bit anytime I use it"
Pretty sure Gege said the power amplification of a black flash is the attack to the power of 2.5 NOT the same thing as 2.5x but I also could be misremembering what it said in the manga
You are correct, Gege loved Exponents therefore it is to the power of 2.5. Even T-San was in love with it (I assume we both read the physical copy)
@@nairu807 You know it! ✋
he asked you to read the description :D
@@gungunboi4 yeah... that's my bad
You know something is explained badly when the author that wrote the explanation says he explained it poorly 😂
You forgot the incantations to boost the technique's power. And it works differently than a maximum technique
incantation are binding vow
@@YannBeaulieu-legagneur technically yea, but they are still more separate thing
A domain expansion is not just a bigger version of a technique. Each domain is a reflection of the user's ideals and personality. Gojo's is a reflection of his experiences with toji how he never wants to be unprepared like that ever again so it's best to immobilize the opponent, or mahitos, he loves warping human souls to see them suffer thats why his domain is just massive hands wrapping around one another to shape and warp a soul.
whoa!
Another thing is insanity or being unstable, making you stronger
Black flashes are not actually activating cursed energy in 0,000001 seconds after hitting the opponent, its explained in the manga, its more of a random phenomena that occurs, that is why its random for most of the sorcerers
gojo explained it, if it was like that he could land black flashes whenever he wanted, but he cant
There is an explanation about timing when todo and yuji fight hanami
Gojo basically said it's impossible to get them on demand even with 6 eyes
@@badthunder115Manga yuji:
@@RandomPerson-sh1fe I meant guarantee them, and yuji stopped getting black flashes after the 8th, so those weren't still guaranteed
The 'random phenomena' part of a black flash IS that cursed energy is activated 0.000001 seconds after the impact, what Gojo explained in the manga is that due to the amount of factors that are involved for such timing to happen (stuff like cursed energy output and strength to even the temperature outside and the wind) a black flash is truly random.
Just a basic correction here
Hereditary techniques and inate techniques are not two separate things, they're both inate techniques, just that the hereditaries are cultivated and passed down through the genetic of a clan, like Naobito who had a lot of kids until one of then where born with his technique
Instructions unclear, tried doing Hollow Purple and my energy fizzled into nothing.
Lol
Actually hollow purple is like a blender it's just tear everything i it's way,
Explanation: limitless Blue pull objects to itself and limitless Red push objects away from itself, so if they are used at the same Time they just tear everything in its range.
or something like that
This is cool, I look forward to reading and watching jjk c:
Guys, before commenting about Black Flash, check the description of the video ;)
Now make a part two about the ENTIRE JJK power system.
@@sticksimple1 jjk power system is inconsistent and really feels like it's made up on the fly, especially if you need to watch videos like these to understand how all of it works
Looking at other series like csm for example: you either have a rule for it that is not contradicted OR you don't have a rule for it and you never will
***Spoiler*** examples:
Nobody knows how the darkness devil works, nobody knows how makima's power works and it's all on purpose
Show, don't tell
hollow purple was never mentioned to "erase everything in its path" in the manga.
maximum technique isn't to be confused with maximum output.
Gojo's purple isn't a maximum technique. He has only shown maximum output.
Black flash is actually your attack power to the power of 2.5 not times 2,5
no , cursed energy doesnt come from negative emotions , negative emotions just make it spiral out of controll
no getting angry doesnt power it up
inherited techiques are also innate techniques
all cursed techniques that are only learnable by people born with them are innate techniques
innate techniques that got passed down are called inherited techniques
the other kind can be called awakened , since a non-sorcerer or a sorcerer "awakens" them
Black Flash isnt a technique its a phenomena
its like calling burning a technique , it isnt , its a reaction , a phenomena
no it doesnt land when u hit it within that time window
there is tons more factors in that
like urs and ur opponents state
if ur in the "zone"
hell even room temeperature could be one of em , we dont know all of em tho
its not factor
its to the power of 2.5
Additionally the black flash happens when cursed energy is “delivered” in that 0. Something time frame. The initial activation of cursed energy is not confirmed to be a factor as far as I am aware.
thank you, this guy aint know what he was talking abt
Anger does power it up. See Todo's "Anger is an important trigger for sorcerers" speech. Cursed energy is indeed inherently tied to negative emotions, to the point that the fear in near-death experiences can boost a non-sorcerer's CE to the point they can see curses.
@@TheLampl1ghter yes but controlling those emotions makes you a more effective sorcerer
Nah you're wrong 😊
alternatively you can read HxH to understand cursed energy
Cursed energy is easier to understand tho

Probably that luigi minigame from mario party tbh
0:04 "Everyone has it"
Toji and prime Maki: 💀💀💀
heavenly restriction
2:30 you should've started explaining a Domain on its own, and then build on it with Domain Expansion. A Domain is a mental landscape that embodies the mind of an individual which they are born with. Domain Expansion is essentially constructing ones innate domain with cursed energy in a controlled space, with a barrier, although there are people who can create their domain without a barrier, without losing its always hit attack of the technique that the domain is bound to, unlike an uncomplete Domain, which either doesn't have a technique, or a barrier, making it lose its always hit effect. 🤓☝️
So basically a less cooler reality marble
@@xSkysilveryup
Gojo only has one technique. He is using reverse curse technique in tandum with his inherited ability.
This seems a lot like having one’s cake and eating it so Gege can put arbitrary rules on different characters instead of having a simple, holistic system that can set up resolutions to fights satisfactorily instead of just making excuses for spectacle asspulls.
It smacks of having lots of good ideas with either no ability to logically tie them together or no creative restraint to maintain a scope for the sake of avoiding contrivance and so instead of needing to come up with an innovative and entertaining way to resolve his conflicts Gege will just tack on as many exceptions and rules as needed to accommodate his narrative to avoid creativity.
It’s especially insulting to one’s intelligence when he will fill whole chapters with the cast pretending to theorise and analyse fights and opponents, like in the Sukuna fights, as if there has been any build up of a consistent system rather than a constant dump of contrived explanation by the narrator every time he wants to turn the tables in a fight.
Why is there genetic and innate CTs? If it is a function of a physical part of the brain then how can it be anything but inherited? Why is CE something that can create/manipulate but also be projected into a barrier, create some esoteric medium for making a vow to the heavens(?), etc. what exactly can’t it do? Is a DE like an evangelion AT field and their CT, inherited or otherwise, an expression of their psyche? Because CT don’t seem to have anything to do with personality in the slightest except specifically Hakari and the lawyer guy. But then we have Mahito who manipulates souls and has an external physical effect on his victims bodies, so it is more like an AT field? But then we have those like Geto who hates and is utterly disgusted by his CT. Are binding vows an expression of self belief or is there a divine force arbitrating over it? Is there any higher intelligence dishing out CE? Why do only Japanese people have it? What decides innate CT? What decides heavenly restrictions?
There’s a million and one world building points needed before we start going into star plasma sacrifices, spirit merging, CI creation and complicated, city shattering, fights.
[[[[SPOILERS]]]]]
This all results in scenarios where Gojo survives Toji because he’s just super smart and had an epiphany. Or Gojo dies because Sukuna used Mahoraga to meta-hack the logic of limitless by “cutting space itself”. Great spectacle, eye roll every time It has to be explained and it DOES have to be explained by a character or the narrator EVERY SINGLE TIME, proving just how weak it is. And then Gege hand waves it by saying explaining a technique empowers it with 0 presentation of any such thing happening. The real reason is he either wanted to defend the contrivance to the audience or he couldn’t think up a way for the opponent to figure it out and put up a fight.
You know the only character who it’s satisfying to see use their CT? Nobara. Her’s is simple, elegant and provides great turnarounds. Anyone can understand it but it’s esoteric enough to keep opponents on the back foot and give her an edge despite being relatively very weak.
Finally, purple annihilates, it does not neutralise, though the equation used to explain it is correct, it SHOULD neutralise all force. When I push my hands together it neutralises the opposing forces and they stay still. It does not create a black hole in my palms. Red creates a “hollow” by repelling. Blue would just neutralise that force, not supercharge it to tear the fabric of reality.
I swear most of these ideas sound like something kids on a playground would make up after learning about red/blue shift from Carl Sagan with how little thought goes into it.
To be fair your brain can have things irl that are not inherited. My understanding is that it's meant to be a mutation in human evolution so it happens randomly and unpredictably. Theres so many developmental disorders that are partially influenced by your environment and can change the way your brain develops even if neither of your parents had the disorder.
@@cleverballoon6535 That's a good explanation, yet it leaves a tension of both having centuries old lineages of JJ sorcerers (who themselves have great diversity of CT within their clans) and new upstart mutating powers emerging on the fly at such an insane rate as to populate the entire culling games with a host of wacky new characters.
To release this tension some revelation of the cause of CE within a sorcerer is needed. Like the big question of why only the Japanese have it. Is it like the Dao bringing balance or something? The specific distribution hints at some intelligence behind it.
About the japanese one, it's not only the japanese that has it. There's been this whole meme about Yuta going to Africa to train with Miguel.
I forgot about the reason, but it's just that japan has more cursed energy user than other countries.
@@tensaitenshi Not just more, It's made quite explicit during culling games that the only CE users outside of japan are miniscule and likely only those with some Japanese ancestry. Otherwise the US wouldn't be sending Delta force to kidnap sorcerers.
But say that wasn't the case, why the utterly unbalanced distribution? Is it due to some original sorcerer who cursed the Japanese people or perhaps all sorcerers share a common ancestor in him or is there some ancient artefact influencing the people?
Keep it obscure by all means, but there ought to be SOMETHING this late in the manga.
you summarized all my problems with it so well
0:21 a sorcerer whos angry wastes a lot of their energy, a sorcerer who's calm can better control it and focus it for their own means. This isn't dragon ball
Neither is Dragon Ball 🫠
right, thats actively not what was implied. if your angry, you have a lot more readily available negative emotions, which would normally lead to waste due to overflow. but sorcerers specifically train not to inhibit these emotions but to harness the rise in emotional density. Its a lot easier to call upon anger when you have something to be angry about rather than nothing
i can feel myself about to become a JJK fan
😅 its too late the manga ended
@@malcolmlittle6870 not really, you can always be a fan of something.
I could even say this was a stupid thing to say honestly
ok
the power system is this: people get sick ass powers
You're a little off on maximum technique. There's max output and maximum technique. TECHNIQUE is a different variation of your technique, and the pinnacle of what your technique is that isn't a domain expansion. OUTPUT is the maximum strength and energy you are able to dump into a technique for destructive power. To compare, it's like a massive or giant rassengan (output) vs. a rassenshuriken (technique)
Black flash is pretty sure an exponential
So a punch of 100 power would have 100^2.5 so something like 100000
cool! only missed RCT and it's applications but I was happy with most explanations :)
Blue creates negative a space or a vacuum, forcing space to collapse into that missing area which attracts everything into it, and red is positive space, which is why Gojo says it’s a cursed technique “reversal”. It fills an area with space forcing space violently outward.
Basically using the idea of reversed cursed technique into your attacks. RCT or reverse cursed technique and Cursed technique reversals are NOT the same, they use the opposite of cursed energy
Hollow purple doesn’t really erase stuff but it atomically rips it apart due to the violent pulling of negative space and forceful pushing of positive space, you could call this a maximum technique
Maximum output is just a buffed technique application, not a maximum technique, as they are usually abstract in how they use the cursed technique to its fullest; eg
Jogo is a fire cursed spirit but he created a meteor (rock and “fire”) this is a maximum technique application.
This is just the more complicated version, overall good vid
This , and Maki rule 34 are the only good things that jjk had , was a good ride, hope Gege focus more in the history and narrative instead of the fights for his next work.
Maki what……
NEVER GOON
Thank you for this, it was very helpful... also cursed energy seems like a lesser version of Nen from HXH
"Lesser" is up for debate.
"More streamlined" is what I'd argue, given that Nen has less thematic relevance to the structure of HxH than Cursed Techniques are to JJK
@@zacharybosley1935 I’m not insulting cursed energy, you are speaking as if I am. When I said lesser the implication I was going for was less complicated. Please Accept my apologies.
3:38 black flash isn't 2.5x its ^2.5 it was mistranslated in the anime. So 100^2.5 =100,000
I disagree as well. In the manga, Gojo stated hiw black flash work.
To my understanding, it's not about precision but confidence.
Confident that you are able to certainly land the attacks at the target in that space at that time.
But this has several problems. We have no clue what metric of force is being used. If it’s newtons of force, then 20.000N should equal 20KN, but 20.000N^2,5 is WAAAAAAAAAY more force than 20KN^2,5. So it isn’t scalable whatsoever and logically is not resolvable unless Gege makes some statement and clears many of the issues surrounding the black flash amp in force.
@theodorable1425 he said it scales off of cursed energy in a manga panel
@ but all he said was “cursed energy starts at 2” which was in reference to the fact that if somebody put a quantity of “1 cursed energy” into their attack and hit a black flash, the attack wouldn’t become stronger since 1^2,5 is still just 1. Nothing he has said has at all addressed the issue I am bringing up. If it is in newtons, then does the attack become weaker if it is less than 1 newton? 0,5^2,5 = 0,177 which is *less* than the starting amount of force. This is why it is impossible to scale black flashes in any capacity.
Sorcerers do not chose their cursed techniques
Except Yuta, who would just take yours
Yuta: I would take OURS
I think cursed energy exists in real life in a way or not. So cursed energy comes from emotions and can enchance the puch a guy hits or a kick BUT when someone gets very angry over someone and they punch them, the punch will be far more effective compared to when the one that punched in the first place is calm and happy. Cursed energy resembles the fact that emotions can make a punch or a kick stronger if the emotion is more violent...but that's just a theory AN ANIME THEORY
me using Binding Vow:
I'LL HAVE ENDLESS ROBUX AS LONG AS I BREATH, AND IN RETURN I'LL LOSE MY FRIENDS
So every Roblox player with headless or peg leg
I’ll have endless robux as long as Atleast 100 humans are alive
2:06 maximum Uzumaki and max meteor are maximum techniques. They're entite new applications of a cursed technique that requires the highest mastery of a technique.
The example of a lvl 5 and lvl 100 purple is wrong, because that's not a maximum technique, that's the classic hollow technique but with the most cursed energy possible applied to it. Two entirely different things. A maximum technique for gojo would be neither blue, red, or purple. But something entirely new
Id put forth the idea that Hollow Purple was his maximum technique, cause it quite literally fits the bill in every way except name…..
@@Kurotama11 it doesn't in literally any way based on what we know about maximum techniques but okay
@@Kurotama11no it combines different applications of his cursed technique, for it to be maximum it would be a new way of applying his technique with that ability having the most cursed energy applied to it
Doesn't Blue have a maximum version that Gojo uses against Toji?
@@Hexamath yes that Blue to maximum, not infinity itself to maximum cursed energy output
It is simple once you know how it functions.
So complicated for anyone with no knowledge.
2:25 a room? A room that the owner controls? The owner of this room can manipulate the things in this room? 🤔hmmmmm where have I heard something like that before👒
The room is in shambles
@@PhoenixWright-iy3rlnah id say it is in tact
It's fine. You can do anything as long as you don't break the law
What if cursed energy is real but jujitsu sorcerer's are so good at hiding that we never found them
Well, that would explain Korea and how those 2 guys got arrested for fighting to figure out who is the strongest
And im not joking
Look up Sukuna in Korea
Or "Man fights because another said they were the strongest" or something like that
Aside from the horrendous explanation of how hollow purple works this was actually great
Its a basic explanation of how hollow purple works gang, its not an indepth explanation
@@L1M1TL3SSKisser it is still a completely wrong one though.
It's a pretty good explanation. The only incorrect aspect is the "erasing" matter, which is kinda incorrect. But I mean, until Gojo VS Sukuna, that distinction never really matters. And when you think about it, from the viewers perspective, erasing matter and tearing things apart at the subatomic level is pretty much identical
does that mean toji is just a chill guy
the hollow purple i think it like a technique that tear
the blue attract, and the red repel, the two together tear, its not a 0, but a -100 and +100 together tearing
I saw someone make the comparison to calculus. The technique is called Limitless.
Limits are a common occurrence in calculus.
For example, the graph of the function 1/x shows that if you approach from the positive side, y goes to infinity, essnetially an infinite repelling force, red.
But if you approache from the negative side of 1/x, y goes to negative infinity, an infinite attraction force.
What makes purple annihilate in thw way that it does is when you look at the full limit of these two forces. Its not negative infinity + positive infinity = 0. 1/0 is undefined The limit of 1/x as x approaches 0 doesnt exist, and so when something is caught in that "non-existence" they also stop exisiting.
This might just be a coincidence, but i like how his normal cursed technique amplification, blue, is the infinite attraction force (approaching 0 from the negative side leading to negative infinity) because cursed energy is inherently negative, being born from negative emotions. When the cursed technique is reversed, becoming positive energy, you get red, the infinite repelling force, as seen on the positive side of the 1/x graph
I think its a really good theory for Limitless and the whole Red, Blue, and Purple thing.
@@tabithal2977 its a great theory man
Conclusion:
Cursed energy is basically Hamon from jjba. But on crack.
Which can be summarized into Nen but a little straight to the point
You don't need to breath though although you could use a binding vow to boost your cursed energy in exchange of needing to breath for every cursed technique used.
Although the power boost would be too little.
Take a shot every time the word cursed is said
me when studying: (boring)
me when studying cursed energy: HELL YEAAAA!!!!!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅
I thought the power was ^2.5 not just 2.5
I need to see a Vow basically been a DMC ranking system going to D to SSS
Hollow Purple doesn't erase things. That's a really surface-level understanding that's not befitting of a power system explanation video. Hollow Purple uses Red and Blue to simultanously push and pull anything caught in its path, acting almost like a buzzsaw.
Edit: Yes, I watched your followup video. Your explanation was still disingenuous. "Erasure" is something very specific that involves the destruction of matter (something that violates the laws of physics), and Purple just doesn't do that. Saying that Hollow Purple "erases" things is understandable in layman's terms, but for the purpose of power system explanations, we need to be more specific so people don't get confused. Exhibit A: your comment section.
0:21 If u wanna get stronger just rage in a game and fight
I mean, it was explained good enough…
Not to be a nerd but When someone gets angry it un-boosts ce so that’s why you always gotta Control your emotions 0:26
no, getting angry just makes your ce disperse more which gets rid of the balance of the form of cursed energy itself. think about it like a force striking water, if the force is weak then the water splash will be small, hence why cursed energy loss will be disminished, but if it's like lightning then the water splash will be massive, granting more ce loss
I did not understand anything vroski
@Juli.a.no.78how he literally explained plus it's literally explained in the anime when gojos puts yuji in the basement
Actually the black flash increase the power to a factor of 2,5, not multiplying it to 2,5. If the force of the punch is 10N then the black flash have the power of 10^2,5, not 10*2,5
There’s a mistake in hollow purple. The technique is just imaginary as Gojo says, but the effect of red and blue are still there so they are still real. Basically he threw red and blue at the same time and purple was only the consequence of them mixing together and creating an imaginary “thing”. So if red and blue are real they can’t just make stuff disappear they just destroy it to a molecular level so it looked like everything Purple hit had disappeared. It’s a bit hard to explain because it really has no simple logical explanation. I hope I didn’t write anything wrong💀
nah gege just sucks at writing lets be real
@@rja62b well overall you can still keep track of what’s happening
Things just get pulled and pushed at the same time ripping them off as a result.
Sukuna's divine flame is also just friction burns.
@@grendelbacani445you're probably right about the gojo thing, but Sukuna's flames aren't friction burns, and are just a part of his technique.
Dayum I finally understood this
3:24
so youre telling me a black flash is just a tekken electric
DORYA!
You missed domain amplification
You surround yourself in a thin layer of your domain, but you don't imbue your cursed technique into it.
When the domain layer comes into contact with another cursed technique, the domain harnesses it as it's own and nullifies its effect.
Jogo used this during his second fight with Gojo. His domain amplification came into contact with limitless and tried to nullify infinity, forcing Gojo to make his infinity stronger.
Jujutsu Kaisen entire plot is throwing the word "cursed" in as many sentences as possible
Thank you sensei sticksimple I will use this information wisely
WOAH!!! YOU REALLY DECODED IT TO THE SIMPLEST FORM , Big Ws
You are honestly smart
I just looked it up, and the fact that it requires you to apply cursed energy one microsecond before you land the physical hit is wild 😭
