This is honestly such a misguided take. Not only is Sukuna currently unable to use his DE to counter Yuji here; but Jogo’s fight with sukuna was supposed to be an all out test of his strength, abilities, and firepower against the king of curses. Using his DE against Sukuna would be pointless because Sukuna would just counter with his own DE, and jogo would never have gotten the opportunity to go all out like he did. You could argue that they could have had a DE clash instead of the firepower showdown, but imo a test of raw destructive firepower is a way more fitting end for Jogo’s character than a DE clash to see who’s technique and barrier are more refined.
Ironically, if Sukuna had gone the riskier route that Gojo did and healed his burnt out cursed technique to restore his domain, he wouldn't be in this situation. But he underestimated Yuji. He thought he didn't need to take such a risk. And he just paid the price. I am pretty confident that he just died and this is his airport scene
Train stations are places of departure, just like an air port. You see death imagery with train stations kinda frequently in stories like this, Harry Potter coming to mind. I feel like this could also be Yuji's memory inserting power coming out and maybe have Sukuna have a memory of being friends with Yuji inserted into his mind. That might be too stupid to work though haha.
This is literally just Gojo again. Black flashes, regains RCT, then boom…. Someone is getting a hand reached out to them in a station of sorts (train or airport) with them looking up confused. Sukuna is dead. There’s no reason Yuji would ever be smiling at Sukuna.
Makes the most sense logically but realistically most likely not the case I think yujis domain will be more of extracting the soul into the domain instead of the physical body and since sukuna was with yuji for so long my guess is that both of their souls somewhat mixed causing sukuna to appear in yujis body in his domain but wouldn’t make sense why yuji wouldn’t look like sukuna if the soul theory is true
@@Harvey_jms how is the more realistic scenario the one that makes the least sense? Yuji has been shown to be able to attack the soul, not manipulate/move it. He’s not Mahito or Ui Ui. With the evidence given, Sukuna just got offscreened lol
@@rodneyjones1991 sukuna being off screened would be a major cop out and yuji understands and perceives the soul to the point of attacking and even using binding vows to make other attacks hit the soul so what’s stopping him using a binding vow for example to do what I said although it’s a far stretch with little evidence I don’t think it’s necessarily out of the question and why would sukuna be shown dead in the airport in yujis body surely he would be in his original body
@@rodneyjones1991 also an extra point I honestly can’t remember if sukuna can currently use domain or how close he is but yuji wouldn’t try and domain battle someone like sukuna unless it was something like the soul being affected where sukuna can’t defend or launch his own domain but like I said I can’t remember if sukuna can currently use domain
Ngl you mad about the whole angels ladder thing when it’s explained - she’s missing an arm and she’s just in general not a strong vessel. It’s been HEAVILY explained in jujutsu Kaisen that your mentality affects extremely how strong you are. Hana and Angel both didn’t want to fight anymore, she literally said to Yuta she was in no state to fight anymore - she got her arm eaten by Sukuna and that clearly made her extremely fearful of getting into the fight, ence why she was literally the last person to join in. It’s not a plot hole.
Nick has a very selective memory sometimes when he claims to know everything about the anime he talks about. He straight up complained in one video about Todo’s vibraslap right after admitting he doesn’t know how they work in the same video. He needs to hire someone to fact check his scripts he just gets things blatantly wrong a lot now simply because he forgets things.
@@kpewitt1113 at 18:16, he says this is the first flashback in what feels like forever. WE JUST GOT ONE AT THE END OF LAST CHAPTER. He definitely filters out some stuff when reading
Jacob’s Ladder’s output is lower because the arm missing messes up the hand signs, 2 hands on the trumpet. Todo completely changed his activation method and doesn’t really depend on output. His increased range was mainly due to a binding vow that limited the amount of times he can swap per second to get range or additional targets instead.
10:29 my guess is that Hana requires both arms for hand signs to release a maximum output Jacob’s ladder, sure all she needs to do is blow in the trumpet. But to get maximum output she’s probably required to do incantations and hand signs to use the full output of the technique. We’ve seen this a few times in the series and it’s pretty much the only explanation I could think of
@@zorrunamenteinefables5702yea the explanation makes sense. If you check back in Ch 213 she’s specifically holding two hands up with the trumpet. We’ve already been stressed the importance of hand signs with and without chanting. And jujutsu being about subtraction, so of course a maximum output woud require both. Idk if it should make it that weak, but wtvr .
@@zorrunamenteinefables5702 oh nah I’m not that knowledgeable. I just remember 236 is when Gojo dies then subtract a little. I also have the SJ app so it makes it’s really easy
The mudra that Yuji uses is the the Kṣitigarbha/Jizō Mudra. Jizo whose job is to guide souls that had no chance of redemption in life. They also have strong association with babies specifically babies who died during birth and those who were aborted before birth in Japan. So that might give some hints into Yuji's domain.
@@scrbroadcasturaume sacrifice and the host may revealed to be the girl who likes Itadori that I forgot that who her name is. Another failed attempt for Yuji to kill Sukuna. Yuji's friends think Sukuna worth saving, but himself not.
I read that the hand sign used by yuji is the ksitigarbha, a boddhisatva that guides others to enlightment. The guardian of souls, the one that will only reach heaven when hell is empty. This domain will be a cleansing of the soul, I think we will go through sukunas story to further push yujis ideals and reject sukunas ideals, so by the end he will win the battle of ideals that is the ending sukuna deserves. Either way in the domain will be a confrontation of ideals, thats the final 1v1.
I think Sukuna’s already dead and this is his airport scene. Gojo was in an airport because planes fly up (heaven) but Sukuna’s in a train station because trains go underground (hell).
12:00 We all know that todo clapped his cheecks to use boogie woogie For me this is the same train station where gojo saw his friends as he died and his technique is being able to hit souls we could see the other people that die fight along side him one last time
I don't think he used boogie woogie in my opinion he simply jumped in front of Hana trying to tank the hit for her (but it doesn't work because conveniently is a black flash) Otherwise it makes no sense for him to show up in front of her instead of swapping with her
One thing to take into account with the abundance of black flashes is yuji is blessed by them so much people could believe that he could do them on command. When he achieved this Sakuna was in his body. I think Sakuna learned just as much from Yugi as Yuji learned from Sakuna
He's the best juju sorcerer of all time, you think he's not going to ass pull in any and every situation he possibly could? You want him to go down when there was even a slim chance he could pull through? Nah dude if he's the best of all time he better be the most plot convenient character in the story
@seancollins6572 you can be overpowered and not written like shit tho. like this battle has made the rules of cursed energy entirely useless and flat out bad. the power system is no longer interesting anymore when there is no system at all. sukuna can be op and still not go against the laws of the universe every chapter, it gets redundant and annoying
@@JokerofStrikesbro you’re glazing Be honest with yourself sukuna got the biggest plot armor ever Gege literally destroyed the concept of binding vow so sukuna can keep fighting, this battle should be over like 10 or more chapters ago if it wasn’t for the plot armor and ass pulls
The hands explanation makes sense, as we’ve been told about the importance of hand signs and changing all the way back in the beginning of Sukuna vs Gojo, and had that information reinforced through Sukuna’s world cutting slash requiring two hands. And again with Sukuna having to change his hand signs to use his domain. The only other time we see her use the technique on Sukuna she’s using two hands (ch 213.) while I think the explanation makes sense based on the power system, I don’t think it should’ve weakened the technique THAT much, especially if his soul is already weakened, but wtvr
9:34 maybe she needs both her hands on the trumpet??? :) ( also I think the binding vow of the soul splitting dismantle you asked about last chapter was that it has to work like cleave and can’t be shot out )
I'm basically in a "I'll believe when I see it" phase at this point with this series and I can't even really get hyped up for anything that the good guys do anymore.
Gege: “Black flash can’t be predicted and must be used with perfect precision and people are lucky to ever use it” Everyone: “THEN HOW THE HECK DO THE SCREAM IT AS THEY HIT THE PUNCH”
I mean, it kind of makes sense. I imagine they can somewhat feel entering the 'zone' of Black Flash. In this way, screaming "Black Flash!" may even help them release it properly
Pretty sure Yuji's first attempts were him screaming (internally) "Black Flash" but it's just a strong punch So uh, maybe they just "feel it incoming"? Like you're so into the battle that you might as well Black Flash? Kinda like Andrenaline rush in videogames
Naw I feel like Todo was climbing up that jacobs ladder also just like sukuna and yuji!!!! That boy done amped up his physical strengths even more to be able to help out lol
The reason that Jacob’s Ladder’s power and output are lower than they should be is because her overall CE output itself is lower, not because her CT requires both arms.
Honestly, it might be a bit of both. Not necessarily that it *needs* both her hands to use, but rather that it's output is tied to it. Sort of like how Todo doesn't *need* both his hands to use his ability, he just needs to clap. With the major difference being his technique would usually be much harder to use with just one hand. And if that is the case, it could be cause Jacob's Ladder is clearly meant to be at least evocative of the symbol of God's Trumpets. Which are most often depicted being held in both hands, when blown.
Explanation of Hana could be that her missing arm effects part of the hand signs/trumpet holding. And sukuna wasn’t really stunned by yutas DE jacobs ladder. He took a second to use his world cutting dismantle because he had to use rct within the jacobs ladder to heal his cheek from yutas slash and his stomach mouth from when Yuta ripped its tongue out in order to chant the incantations.
This is the only time I agree with Nick’s JJK criticism: - Sukuna’s ability to be basically unaffected by Jacob’s Ladder which doesn’t get a proper and logical explanation why - Sukuna has to make rubble and parkour it as a way to reach Angel. While I love Todo and he is the Goat. It’s not implied at all that he used BW and instead like jumped up there which would have been fine. If it wasn’t for the fact that Sukuna couldn’t… - Sukuna somehow regaining RCT despite Yuji’s Soul Punches/Soul Dismantles apparently losing their compounding effect out of nowhere. Bonus: My own criticism is that the chapter ends like it did. After a break (understandable break) which unfortunately due to how our world is and peoples fleeting attention. The passion/hype/investment is somewhat lost or numbed. Now having us wait a whole week instead of showing like at least the DE name, appearance, function and then ending the chapter. With the consequences for Sukuna looming. Is very dumb. If I was Gege I would have extended the break and dropped this chapter two days before the next one or extended the break even further so that the time we will now get the next chapter. We instead would have got this and the next chapter simultaneously. Toodles to anyone reading this far :3 👋🏻
He pounded the ground to make pieces of the land into stepping stones. I dont see the reason of that when with Maki fight they can literally make jumps on thin air itself because of their speed.
also it’s been established with naobito death that losing a limb and therefore not being able to do hand signs as well means you are not only going to be slower but things are going to be weaker.
@@SemekiIzuioit very well couldve just been for speed purposes. Naturally, jumping on air won’t create as much force as having a foothold. He probably could’ve jumped all the way up in one leap too, but it theoretically would’ve also been slower than making several shorter leaps
I think at least a part of why this domain expansion goes so far, is that out of all the times we have seen Yuji's expression in this arc- He is just standing there, smiling down at Sukuna.
It’s literally in the opening of the 1st season of JJK with Yuji waking up in the subway. So were they showcasing his domain in the opening the whole time!!!!
The moment I read the chapters leaks Wednesday night, I was on Discord VC with my best friend. We were GLOWING and chattering about it, and all I could do is grin about how I'm excited for your next video.
So the train station seems to be a reference to the first anime OP. It's also appears to be based on a real train station in japan called kitakami station and from what I've heard "kitakami" means "north" so... yeah do with that information what you will lol
In a Facebook fan group some fans discovered the train station is Kitakami (which apparently means "going north"). I've never been to Japan but the picture I saw looks really close to the station in the panel. The next prefecture in that direction is Iwate, the prefecture where Kenjaku and Takaba's battle took place, where Gege was born and thus where Sukuna's real world legend originated from.
NICK READ THE STORY it makes perfect sense why Todo came back with a stronger CT he made a BINDING VOW 😂 it's been set since the very beginning those increase CTs
okay here is my personal theory , what i personally believe is that yuji domain has something to do with the soul , since well in the past we have observed that yuji can implant "false memories" , and we see sukuna is yuji body is because their soul was linked at the start of the chapter . So what i personally believe is that this will be a battle of the souls in which Yuji should come out on top . But knowing gege love for sukuna , i think there will be a catch . Ahh the domain destroying technique i havent used since the Heian era . curse you gege
i look forward to your videos after every chapter! jjk, mha, boruto, chainsaw, everything! keep killing it bro! can’t wait for more hxh and black clover chapters!
Dog that is not how binding vows work. You can break them at will, yuji has full usage of shrine except when he chooses to only target sukunas soul. This precedent has been set forever. And using hand signs has always been a type of binding vow that makes CT’s stronger. Hana can’t make the hand sign for jacobs ladder, so it’s not as strong. If anybody watching this wants to actually understand what’s going on in JJK, go watch manganimist
I'm really thinking it's because Nick has to read the leaks so quickly that he simply doesn't get a chance to comprehend everything with full translation
@@fittzieI’d like to add that I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and there’s no better source for naruto/boruto information, but when it comes to JJK he just ain’t it. There’s no shame in watching other people’s videos to make sure other content creators agree with you. He gives a completely different breakdown from most other JJK content creators
On top of Nick misunderstanding how binding vows work he also seems to misunderstand on how Yuji's version of shrine works. As he says since Yuji has narrowed down the use of dismantle to the barrier between Sukuna an Megumi's souls when he uses it on anything else its less effective and the scissor marks appear. Which is just not accurate as the scissor marks appear because shrine is being used by a different person and existing in a different era. Which is why Yuji's shrine has scissor marks its simply just his interpretation of Shrine. Didn't mean to rant idk its just something minor that was bugging me I guess
Fun idea. Maybe the idea is his domain disables cursed techniques. Maybe part of the reason Sukuna is scared is that not only does Yuji'[s domain put them on even stats...but if it turns off cursed techniques inside of it there is no way out other than a fist fight. No overwhelming the domain. No using your techniques to break the person like Dagon's domain. Just straight up throwing hands in all that is allowed in that domain.
Sick fact I can't believe Commander Nick missed, Yuji's Domain depicts the train station Gege used when he was growing up, in the area the "Sukuna" urban legend originated from!
Nick I’m going to try and give you an explanation on why(i think) Jacob’s latter didn’t work well enough. (And I hope you see this nick) See we have actually(to my knowledge) been given an example on why losing a drastically affect you CT/CT output. That example being naobito, see when naobito fought against Dagon he lose a good bit of his arm, and after Dagon they had to fight jogo, and ofc naobito got hit/killed by jogo’s flames, and it’s said that the reason why jogo was able to get naobito at all is because his CT speed was slowed because of him losing an arm. And for todo still being able to use boogie woogie is obvious, because he made a damn Binding Vow. Hopefully this helps.
For me this still doesn't explain it completely, in Naobito's case his technique involves moving your entire body So without the arm he would need some training time to adjust his frames to not lose his balance while moving On Hana's case I think it's the "ritualistic" aspect of the technique that was affected, like using both hands to hold the trumpet while blowing was similar to Sukuna needing his hands to use the world cutting slash. The difference for Hana and Todo is that Gege is allergic to making women strong so Hana could not think of any binding vow she could make to have 100% output back
@@lothellieTodo is a seasoned fighter tho. Hana is pretty much a novice housing an entity that gives her this one special ability. Angel herself said Hana would pretty much be useless after losing her arm. She likely doesn’t have the experience or battle IQ to come up with an effective Binding Vow on her own.
@@BlankestKnight yeah I agree with that but if we take the 1 moth time skip in consideration I think any of the other more experienced people could help her come up with something specially since Angel is supposed to be a famous Heian era sorcerer So for me this is just one more case of Gege not giving a fuck about his female characters
Todo came back after months of adapting to losing his arm. And was able to correctly use his ct again after a binding vow. Hana was literally in the medical ward before this fight lol. All this ytber is make false equivalent arguments to spice up his videos. Its kinda sad.
@@Jrsweezienot to mention the fact that boogie woogie is not only a support move but has quick activatoon and its output doenst realy matter Wheres techniques like say ishigori can be impacte with weaker output
My understanding for why Jacob’s Ladder was less effective is because the connection of Hana and Angel is purely spiritual it leaves their physical body much more susceptible, so what sukuna means is because she suffered a physical injury it’s dampened the power that her souls are able to produce from that outlet. Meaning that if the same rules applied to todo, yes he wouldn’t be able to use boogie Woogie, but Todo’s Tech is not just a physical or spiritual ability it’s both meaning he doesn’t have any restraints on his tech While Angel does because she’s just using a body that’s only as strong as it is, if it’s damaged, her overall power decreases too much like Deku from MHA, he can throw a super strong punch, but if his arm breaks from it, his punch is weakened, obviously it’s not the most sensible but that’s what I took from what sukuna said
9:57 Maybe the power of Jacobs Ladder is channeled through the hands that she's creating the trumpet with. Trying to activate a technique usually preformed with two hands, with only one, probably results in lowered or even halved output without good vow usage.
That’s 100% what it is. Him not understanding that is crazy. Playing the trumpet acts as a hand sign, which acts as a binding vow which makes CT’s stronger. This has been the case since the beginning of the story
@@cam10_0 yeah. And we seen a similar enough situation. Naobito in Shibuya. Without both hands his speed and power dropped post Dagon domain which lead to his death.
I just don’t get how it went so damn good then went so damn wrong. This author is just doing whatever for whatever reason because he doesn’t wanna kill his baby Sukuna and it’s just making me crazy. You can’t just do that because you like a character more than another
Completely unrelated to JJK but: The new chapter of MHA that came out today is beautiful and almost made me cry. It’s the culmination of what the story has been building up to. Absolutely love it
There's also the fact they have said that Yuji's body has used Domain Expansion before with Sakuna. So my guess is between his training and research he was given he learned how to turn barrier techiques into a Domain Expansion. Also Domain Expansion used to be a lot more common in the past since they were law based not combat based. Yuji's appears to be Law based since it looks to be the final destination type of train ride on the last platform.
People tend to forget Sukuna is the STRONGEST IN HISTORY the fact that his CE didnt regen when he summoned his four arm for was literally the BIGGEST Plot to help the heroes but nobody complained mind you if he even had half of his CE he wouldve ONE SHIT EVERYONE so people acting mad hes finding ways to overcome in terrible situations is why hes THE STRONGEST and the only reason this is even a match is cause the plot has to NERF tf outta SUKUNA or it wouldve been a NO CONTEST match
you're going from what you believe to undewrstand form the story, if you go EXACTLY from what GEGE showed us and nothing more, as Gege himself stablished, one single blackflash coming from the weakest state sukuna has ever been and having been punched in the face by YUJI, is literally not sufficient enough to recover his 4 arms and RCT. And I am not saying this, is not My opinnion, its a factual statement that Gege explicitly told in the manga.
Yuji’s domain I believe does what a lot of twitter threads and TikToks do for engagement when they ask “no powers/just hands….who wins?” And basically cancels out both cursed techniques in the domain until one person wins/dies or until the domain expires. Essentially a nullification domain where whoever is the superior punch/kick merchant wins.
Nick overcomplicates and tries to pinpoint plot holes that are not that deep. Then when they are explained, he gets mad at the explanation. Cmon man just enjoy the story and the fight for what it is. If u want to shit on it don’t praise it when they animate everything and it’s actually fluid.
To the Hana trumpet thing, having both hands definitely matters in a story where gojo being able to do a one handed domain expansion is only possible because he's so special. More hand signs more power simple as that, which is one of the rules gege has stayed true to
Wouldn’t Angel losing an arm making Jacob’s Ladder weaker make sense? Because she’s not able to use hand signs and it’s not stated she used a Sukuna Vow
Either Yuji Used Some kind of soul splitting dismantle and sukuna was offscreen or......Yuji put sukuna in the body because left right good night is about to happen 1v1 om equal footing thats why hes in the yujikuna form
Also if Hana’s Jacob’s Ladder was less powerful why wouldn’t she make a binding vow that it can only affect Sukuna? I love this manga but damn Gege just pulling stuff outta his ass now.
He gives people memories of him to make them like him, his counterpart has malevolent shrine, he probably has benevolent shrine that makes people like him. It’s such a peaceful environment in the train station that I bet we are going to get talknojutsu and flashbacks to the heian era and massive lore drops
9:27 it's established in the story that losing a part of your body decreases the output of your CT. This is the reason why Yuki had to heal vs Kenjaku to return the output of bombaye, Naobito becomes weaker after losing his arm in shibuya and Todo's talk about the mind body and soul all being connected is what explains why this happens, as well as explains how he was able to get boogie woogie to work with the vibraslap
I kinda think yuji's domain could be a form of fighting in both forms of the souls. Kinda like fighting a 1v1 a smash bros stage. It combines both aspects of the soul and creates a "stage" with hazards to fight in until its over.
Yujis domain kinda reminds me of jjk's first op. A train where we saw both Yuji and Sukanya. Possibly some kind of throwback to that I assume. Not to mention the first op also does highlight multiple train tracks I believe in the first title card in red.
i don’t think sukuna’s appearance was changed because he was made weaker (gege could’ve just took away his powers without changing how he looks). if the train station really is the one from shibuya, then it’s pretty obvious why he looks like yuji now. “i am you.” there is no one in the story who saves people without a second thought more than yuji. and if there was anyone who killed people without a second thought more than mahito, it’s sukuna. this is quite literally the battle that mahito was depicting when he first said those words to yuji. good vs. evil, curses vs humanity, sorcerers vs shinigami, etc.
I got chills reading your comment. That scene was absolutely chilling and it would truly be fitting for it to come back around and have the lesson be taught the other way.
Personally I loved this chapter and saw no flaws, and truthfully I enjoy every part of geges story telling with JJK. I respect HIS vision and just appreciate him sharing HIS story and characters with us 🤷🏿♂️ just let him cook !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
6:00 I think Jacob's Ladder didn't work as much as it would compared in the first example of its use was because Megumi is still resisting the control of the body against Sukuna. In the current one, he really gave up the control even if Yuji is damaging the barrier of souls of the two. This is assuming Sukuna is still strong enough to resist it with his own.
my idea as to why hana’s jacob’s ladder was weaker is that since there are two beings in her body, her arm being cut off not only cut off her arm but also cut off a part of angels soul inside of her/ weakened the connection. Doesn’t really make sense when you think about yuji/megumi and sukuma in them but this is gege we’re talking about this man is cooking with the house brining down around him
I'm seeing a "talk no jutsu" moment similar to Naruto and Obito. We saw how he was able to mess with memories of Todo and Choso... he's about to give Sukuna a talk no genjutsu 🤣🤣.
The Hana stuff makes sense imo, Shoko literally said she was in no condition to fight after losing the arm and because she never displayed any physical abilities I assumed it was related to her curse technique.
Yuji formed a very interesting hand seal towards the end of the chapter, and with that, manifested a domain expansion. It is interesting to note that Yuji forms the Jizo Mudra, or Ksitigarbha, and that implies that his role is to guide souls to enlightenment that have no chance of redemption. Looking at it thematically, this is the absolutely perfect sign for Yuji, and it reaffirms the fact that he is going to be the one to defeat Sukuna once and for all. It also highlights Yuji as the guardian of souls. This aligns very well with his technique to deal damage to souls, and just goes to show that Yuji's own technique is very dangerous and important as well.
Shit, I'm sure there is someone else out there saying this but Yujis train station is not in reference just to the shabuya but to gojos airport. Yuji has always been a conduit for gege to explore the livings reckoning with death. His enlightenment is sukanas down fall his acceptance of death is the the thing that will truely end the sukanas cycle. Yuji will give sukana a good death. A truely binding vow. When I open my domain all those with in it will die. The reason sukan is back in Yujis body is becouse they will get on the train together. Just as geto and gojo boarded that plane we never saw. Yuji hand signe is associated with safe travels in buhdism and yuju is now a fully realised psychopomp, a ferry man, a benevolent reaper. The anti sukana. Domain expansion benevolent departure.
I have 2 ideas for what Yuji's domain is 1. Sukuna being in Yuji's body could be the sure hits being Sukuna now is in Yuji's grasp like Mahito and Yuji has the most influence when Sukuna while he was in his body meaning this could be the most powerful dismantle with no resistance to the severing. 2. Yuji's Domain focuses on Yuji's control on his soul and the reincarnates soul with the idea that he's their vessel and might lead to self ending destroying Yuji and Sukuna souls.
16:07 that is not true, even one finger sukuna could use rct in a great way, if you hit multiple black flashes your intensity increases, in terms of energy specifically electric energy intensity(Q/t), is the amount of electric charge that passes in a second. So to charge something it would take more time the lower the intensity of the electric current is. So to regain RCT you need a certain amount of curses energy or charge, the more intensity someone has the less time it would take to reach that threshold. Considering every black flash further increase the intensity to an exponencial level, so more black flashes decreases multiple times the time it needs to recover until it reaches near 0, either way sukuna stated that one more soul dismantle would kill him, yujis domain with the sure hit effect would do the trick this is ggs. But before the end I wish we have a final backflash of sukunas story.
I have a theory about Yuji’s domain and I think we’ve seen it already. Benevolence: his domain floods you with positive curse energy, by placing you into his positive memories. By doing so he changes how u view him, canceling ur curse energy. It fits with him being the nephew of Sukana. What if Sukana’s brothers technique was original a feed technique. This is a walk but, think of it like a chef cooks for people not himself what if tht is the back end
Next chapter: here’s what Hakiri’s doing
let's check on miguil
Hakari activated his reserve cursed technique: promise and asked for uraume's hand in marriage to expand his femboy harem
No seriously did he just forget they were fighting 😭
I imagine every character that left is just chilling in a bar somewhere not knowing whats happening to them
😂genuinely lost interest in that fight
Yuji did what Jogo was afraid to do. challenge the king with a domain.
YUJI is the GOAT
MY GOAT YUJI AINT LIKE JOGO
Yuji giving two middle fingers to his best friend and his favourite uncle
Yuji going band for band
This is honestly such a misguided take.
Not only is Sukuna currently unable to use his DE to counter Yuji here; but Jogo’s fight with sukuna was supposed to be an all out test of his strength, abilities, and firepower against the king of curses. Using his DE against Sukuna would be pointless because Sukuna would just counter with his own DE, and jogo would never have gotten the opportunity to go all out like he did.
You could argue that they could have had a DE clash instead of the firepower showdown, but imo a test of raw destructive firepower is a way more fitting end for Jogo’s character than a DE clash to see who’s technique and barrier are more refined.
Ironically, if Sukuna had gone the riskier route that Gojo did and healed his burnt out cursed technique to restore his domain, he wouldn't be in this situation.
But he underestimated Yuji. He thought he didn't need to take such a risk. And he just paid the price.
I am pretty confident that he just died and this is his airport scene
It be cool if it was and he had lost to Gojo like he was supposed to and this was just what he wanted
that would be insanely underwhelming if this is his airport scene
Train stations are places of departure, just like an air port. You see death imagery with train stations kinda frequently in stories like this, Harry Potter coming to mind. I feel like this could also be Yuji's memory inserting power coming out and maybe have Sukuna have a memory of being friends with Yuji inserted into his mind. That might be too stupid to work though haha.
this tbh, if sukuna survives this man... the plot amor is fucking insane.
@@mategido id say i’m fine with him losing in yujis domain but i feel like the merger still has to happen

This is literally just Gojo again. Black flashes, regains RCT, then boom…. Someone is getting a hand reached out to them in a station of sorts (train or airport) with them looking up confused.
Sukuna is dead. There’s no reason Yuji would ever be smiling at Sukuna.
Makes the most sense logically but realistically most likely not the case I think yujis domain will be more of extracting the soul into the domain instead of the physical body and since sukuna was with yuji for so long my guess is that both of their souls somewhat mixed causing sukuna to appear in yujis body in his domain but wouldn’t make sense why yuji wouldn’t look like sukuna if the soul theory is true
@@Harvey_jms how is the more realistic scenario the one that makes the least sense? Yuji has been shown to be able to attack the soul, not manipulate/move it. He’s not Mahito or Ui Ui. With the evidence given, Sukuna just got offscreened lol
@@rodneyjones1991 sukuna being off screened would be a major cop out and yuji understands and perceives the soul to the point of attacking and even using binding vows to make other attacks hit the soul so what’s stopping him using a binding vow for example to do what I said although it’s a far stretch with little evidence I don’t think it’s necessarily out of the question and why would sukuna be shown dead in the airport in yujis body surely he would be in his original body
@@rodneyjones1991 also an extra point I honestly can’t remember if sukuna can currently use domain or how close he is but yuji wouldn’t try and domain battle someone like sukuna unless it was something like the soul being affected where sukuna can’t defend or launch his own domain but like I said I can’t remember if sukuna can currently use domain
Yuji doesn’t want to be alone. All his friends that fell in this fight will be on a train in that station.
@@Improperly101 yes probably. To show Sukuna what love is. Theres also a video from Jump with Yuuji riding the train and seeing all the cast
Yujis domain is just a Yellowstone reference lol

I'm just saying, the path to the afterlife is always shown as transit, and Yuji deals with the soul a lot.....
either that, or he’ll have their abilities
Gojos has appeared more in flashbacks than in the whole story pre Shinjuku 😅
Ngl you mad about the whole angels ladder thing when it’s explained - she’s missing an arm and she’s just in general not a strong vessel. It’s been HEAVILY explained in jujutsu Kaisen that your mentality affects extremely how strong you are. Hana and Angel both didn’t want to fight anymore, she literally said to Yuta she was in no state to fight anymore - she got her arm eaten by Sukuna and that clearly made her extremely fearful of getting into the fight, ence why she was literally the last person to join in. It’s not a plot hole.
thank you!! dat whole rant of his i ws hella confused by what he ws talkin about
Nick has a very selective memory sometimes when he claims to know everything about the anime he talks about. He straight up complained in one video about Todo’s vibraslap right after admitting he doesn’t know how they work in the same video. He needs to hire someone to fact check his scripts he just gets things blatantly wrong a lot now simply because he forgets things.
@@kpewitt1113 at 18:16, he says this is the first flashback in what feels like forever. WE JUST GOT ONE AT THE END OF LAST CHAPTER. He definitely filters out some stuff when reading
@@kpewitt1113but, I do still think he enjoys this manga, and he's critical for that reason.
Jacob’s Ladder’s output is lower because the arm missing messes up the hand signs, 2 hands on the trumpet. Todo completely changed his activation method and doesn’t really depend on output. His increased range was mainly due to a binding vow that limited the amount of times he can swap per second to get range or additional targets instead.
Bro we've seen todo use boogie woogie without his has. My boy twerked.
10:29 my guess is that Hana requires both arms for hand signs to release a maximum output Jacob’s ladder, sure all she needs to do is blow in the trumpet. But to get maximum output she’s probably required to do incantations and hand signs to use the full output of the technique. We’ve seen this a few times in the series and it’s pretty much the only explanation I could think of
does she at any point in the story in any pannel at all does a hand enchantation when she blows the trumpet? because I dont think so
@@zorrunamenteinefables5702yea the explanation makes sense. If you check back in Ch 213 she’s specifically holding two hands up with the trumpet. We’ve already been stressed the importance of hand signs with and without chanting. And jujutsu being about subtraction, so of course a maximum output woud require both. Idk if it should make it that weak, but wtvr .
@@justingenie7214 thanks, you have the chapters memorized dude, spot on!.

Kakashi technique?
1000 years of death. Yuji has best sensei of ninja world Kakashi sensei 😂
@@TrueMeKazik modified
technique applied? "Fuck you! "
Yuji's gonna ask him if he prayed today
The mudra that Yuji uses is the the Kṣitigarbha/Jizō Mudra. Jizo whose job is to guide souls that had no chance of redemption in life. They also have strong association with babies specifically babies who died during birth and those who were aborted before birth in Japan. So that might give some hints into Yuji's domain.
Sukuna Heian Era flashbacks....??👀
So Yuji's domain can fall into an instant kill category by guiding the soul to the afterlife. This leaves Megumi's soul intact.

@@scrbroadcasturaume sacrifice and the host may revealed to be the girl who likes Itadori that I forgot that who her name is. Another failed attempt for Yuji to kill Sukuna. Yuji's friends think Sukuna worth saving, but himself not.
Domain expansion: Coat Hanger Ab-
My lawyers recommend I do not finish this joke.
I read that the hand sign used by yuji is the ksitigarbha, a boddhisatva that guides others to enlightment. The guardian of souls, the one that will only reach heaven when hell is empty. This domain will be a cleansing of the soul, I think we will go through sukunas story to further push yujis ideals and reject sukunas ideals, so by the end he will win the battle of ideals that is the ending sukuna deserves. Either way in the domain will be a confrontation of ideals, thats the final 1v1.
That does fit
I think Sukuna’s already dead and this is his airport scene. Gojo was in an airport because planes fly up (heaven) but Sukuna’s in a train station because trains go underground (hell).
cool asf if true
I think Sukuna took "Jacob's *Ladder*" a bit too literally xD
12:00 We all know that todo clapped his cheecks to use boogie woogie
For me this is the same train station where gojo saw his friends as he died and his technique is being able to hit souls we could see the other people that die fight along side him one last time
wasn't that an airport tho?
I don't think he used boogie woogie in my opinion he simply jumped in front of Hana trying to tank the hit for her (but it doesn't work because conveniently is a black flash)
Otherwise it makes no sense for him to show up in front of her instead of swapping with her
@@lothellie or just yk. swapping with sukuna.
havent watched the video yet so idk if Nick brings it up, but Sukuna's reaction to Yuji's domain is the same reaction Jogo had when he died.
haha nice!!!! You and ABD are my fave of this genre vid!
One thing to take into account with the abundance of black flashes is yuji is blessed by them so much people could believe that he could do them on command. When he achieved this Sakuna was in his body. I think Sakuna learned just as much from Yugi as Yuji learned from Sakuna
Sukuna's biggest asspull is his plot armor.
He's the best juju sorcerer of all time, you think he's not going to ass pull in any and every situation he possibly could? You want him to go down when there was even a slim chance he could pull through? Nah dude if he's the best of all time he better be the most plot convenient character in the story
@seancollins6572 you can be overpowered and not written like shit tho. like this battle has made the rules of cursed energy entirely useless and flat out bad. the power system is no longer interesting anymore when there is no system at all. sukuna can be op and still not go against the laws of the universe every chapter, it gets redundant and annoying
@@ravyxenMEAT RIDER YOU DIDNT THINK THAT FOR GOJO DID YOU
@@JokerofStrikesbro you’re glazing
Be honest with yourself sukuna got the biggest plot armor ever
Gege literally destroyed the concept of binding vow so sukuna can keep fighting, this battle should be over like 10 or more chapters ago if it wasn’t for the plot armor and ass pulls
@@joshdkidd6736binding vows weren’t well explained tbh, this is all yap
The hands explanation makes sense, as we’ve been told about the importance of hand signs and changing all the way back in the beginning of Sukuna vs Gojo, and had that information reinforced through Sukuna’s world cutting slash requiring two hands. And again with Sukuna having to change his hand signs to use his domain. The only other time we see her use the technique on Sukuna she’s using two hands (ch 213.) while I think the explanation makes sense based on the power system, I don’t think it should’ve weakened the technique THAT much, especially if his soul is already weakened, but wtvr
9:34 maybe she needs both her hands on the trumpet??? :)
( also I think the binding vow of the soul splitting dismantle you asked about last chapter was that it has to work like cleave and can’t be shot out )
I love that Yuji's domain handsign is him flipping off his opponent with both hands.
I'm basically in a "I'll believe when I see it" phase at this point with this series and I can't even really get hyped up for anything that the good guys do anymore.
Gege: “Black flash can’t be predicted and must be used with perfect precision and people are lucky to ever use it”
Everyone: “THEN HOW THE HECK DO THE SCREAM IT AS THEY HIT THE PUNCH”
My theory is it's just for convenience, but I wonder if that could be explained through actual info given from the manga.
I mean, it kind of makes sense.
I imagine they can somewhat feel entering the 'zone' of Black Flash. In this way, screaming "Black Flash!" may even help them release it properly
They don't. the anime does that because they need the explain the attack's name
in the manga it's just written on the side
Pretty sure Yuji's first attempts were him screaming (internally) "Black Flash" but it's just a strong punch
So uh, maybe they just "feel it incoming"?
Like you're so into the battle that you might as well Black Flash?
Kinda like Andrenaline rush in videogames
Literally just a shonen trope
Naw I feel like Todo was climbing up that jacobs ladder also just like sukuna and yuji!!!! That boy done amped up his physical strengths even more to be able to help out lol
The reason that Jacob’s Ladder’s power and output are lower than they should be is because her overall CE output itself is lower, not because her CT requires both arms.
Honestly, it might be a bit of both. Not necessarily that it *needs* both her hands to use, but rather that it's output is tied to it. Sort of like how Todo doesn't *need* both his hands to use his ability, he just needs to clap. With the major difference being his technique would usually be much harder to use with just one hand. And if that is the case, it could be cause Jacob's Ladder is clearly meant to be at least evocative of the symbol of God's Trumpets. Which are most often depicted being held in both hands, when blown.
I've never seen an author that rides soo hard for his own villain like Gege. He's literally sukuna's stilgar (Dune reference)
Explanation of Hana could be that her missing arm effects part of the hand signs/trumpet holding.
And sukuna wasn’t really stunned by yutas DE jacobs ladder. He took a second to use his world cutting dismantle because he had to use rct within the jacobs ladder to heal his cheek from yutas slash and his stomach mouth from when Yuta ripped its tongue out in order to chant the incantations.
This is the only time I agree with Nick’s JJK criticism:
- Sukuna’s ability to be basically unaffected by Jacob’s Ladder which doesn’t get a proper and logical explanation why
- Sukuna has to make rubble and parkour it as a way to reach Angel. While I love Todo and he is the Goat. It’s not implied at all that he used BW and instead like jumped up there which would have been fine. If it wasn’t for the fact that Sukuna couldn’t…
- Sukuna somehow regaining RCT despite Yuji’s Soul Punches/Soul Dismantles apparently losing their compounding effect out of nowhere.
Bonus:
My own criticism is that the chapter ends like it did.
After a break (understandable break) which unfortunately due to how our world is and peoples fleeting attention. The passion/hype/investment is somewhat lost or numbed. Now having us wait a whole week instead of showing like at least the DE name, appearance, function and then ending the chapter.
With the consequences for Sukuna looming. Is very dumb.
If I was Gege I would have extended the break and dropped this chapter two days before the next one or extended the break even further so that the time we will now get the next chapter. We instead would have got this and the next chapter simultaneously.
Toodles to anyone reading this far :3 👋🏻
My first thought when i heard the domain was in a train station: those trains gonna be as full of dead allies as they were of transmuted humans.
I would love if he can summon other peoples power like yuta
But not copy there techniques but summon them
I love JJK but the ass pulls for Sukuna are insane. It never ends.
Eh, it was only bad this chapter for me
I'll never understand how he scaled Jacob's Ladder?! 😭😭😭
Angel was weakened due to missing an arm
He pounded the ground to make pieces of the land into stepping stones.
I dont see the reason of that when with Maki fight they can literally make jumps on thin air itself because of their speed.
also it’s been established with naobito death that losing a limb and therefore not being able to do hand signs as well means you are not only going to be slower but things are going to be weaker.
Fym, he climbed it? It's a ladder.
@@SemekiIzuioit very well couldve just been for speed purposes. Naturally, jumping on air won’t create as much force as having a foothold. He probably could’ve jumped all the way up in one leap too, but it theoretically would’ve also been slower than making several shorter leaps
I think at least a part of why this domain expansion goes so far, is that out of all the times we have seen Yuji's expression in this arc-
He is just standing there, smiling down at Sukuna.
His domain expansion better be named “ Menacing Hands” 🤣
Ngl I knew for a fact that the SUKUNA Cycle was getting crazy and I didn’t wanna fall for it..
BUT CMON DOMAIN EXPANSION ON YUJI?!
I started tweaking
It’s literally in the opening of the 1st season of JJK with Yuji waking up in the subway. So were they showcasing his domain in the opening the whole time!!!!
it could be but that doesnt really make sense so maybe he just took inspiration from it
I mean Gege has commented many times how much he loves the anime adaptation so he most likely took inspiration
The moment I read the chapters leaks Wednesday night, I was on Discord VC with my best friend. We were GLOWING and chattering about it, and all I could do is grin about how I'm excited for your next video.
yuji's hand sign being a "fuck you" hand sign is so funny
Not just one but 2! Lol
Its to us😂😂
All the complaints are valid and I’m very excited to see Yuji’s domain. So far it seems like that comedian guys domain that distracted Kenjaku.
So the train station seems to be a reference to the first anime OP. It's also appears to be based on a real train station in japan called kitakami station and from what I've heard "kitakami" means "north" so... yeah do with that information what you will lol
i love the little doodle showing yuji following sukuna it made me gigle
I’ve been waiting for this video all night
Been waiting to get an explanation. Thanks 👑
Domain expansion: I want my fair one
In a Facebook fan group some fans discovered the train station is Kitakami (which apparently means "going north"). I've never been to Japan but the picture I saw looks really close to the station in the panel. The next prefecture in that direction is Iwate, the prefecture where Kenjaku and Takaba's battle took place, where Gege was born and thus where Sukuna's real world legend originated from.
NICK READ THE STORY it makes perfect sense why Todo came back with a stronger CT he made a BINDING VOW 😂 it's been set since the very beginning those increase CTs
Donkey kong was game nick I believe and nick buddy keep awesome work
todo was able to use boogie woogie using the thunderous clap of his asscheeks
underrated comment
okay here is my personal theory , what i personally believe is that yuji domain has something to do with the soul , since well in the past we have observed that yuji can implant "false memories" , and we see sukuna is yuji body is because their soul was linked at the start of the chapter . So what i personally believe is that this will be a battle of the souls in which Yuji should come out on top .
But knowing gege love for sukuna , i think there will be a catch . Ahh the domain destroying technique i havent used since the Heian era . curse you gege
First time being first 🙌🏾
😂
🥳
i look forward to your videos after every chapter! jjk, mha, boruto, chainsaw, everything! keep killing it bro! can’t wait for more hxh and black clover chapters!
Dog that is not how binding vows work. You can break them at will, yuji has full usage of shrine except when he chooses to only target sukunas soul. This precedent has been set forever. And using hand signs has always been a type of binding vow that makes CT’s stronger. Hana can’t make the hand sign for jacobs ladder, so it’s not as strong. If anybody watching this wants to actually understand what’s going on in JJK, go watch manganimist
I'm really thinking it's because Nick has to read the leaks so quickly that he simply doesn't get a chance to comprehend everything with full translation
@@fittzieit might be, but there are people out there who read the same leaks and have a much firmer understanding of what’s happening
@@fittzieI’d like to add that I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and there’s no better source for naruto/boruto information, but when it comes to JJK he just ain’t it. There’s no shame in watching other people’s videos to make sure other content creators agree with you. He gives a completely different breakdown from most other JJK content creators
And on top of that, sukuna hit two black flashes against todo. One last chapter, one this chapter. 😭 so many details missed
On top of Nick misunderstanding how binding vows work he also seems to misunderstand on how Yuji's version of shrine works. As he says since Yuji has narrowed down the use of dismantle to the barrier between Sukuna an Megumi's souls when he uses it on anything else its less effective and the scissor marks appear. Which is just not accurate as the scissor marks appear because shrine is being used by a different person and existing in a different era. Which is why Yuji's shrine has scissor marks its simply just his interpretation of Shrine. Didn't mean to rant idk its just something minor that was bugging me I guess
Fun idea. Maybe the idea is his domain disables cursed techniques. Maybe part of the reason Sukuna is scared is that not only does Yuji'[s domain put them on even stats...but if it turns off cursed techniques inside of it there is no way out other than a fist fight. No overwhelming the domain. No using your techniques to break the person like Dagon's domain. Just straight up throwing hands in all that is allowed in that domain.
Ik you’re reading this comment, thanks for the constant vids man
The Netero tattoo goes hard - good work Nick
Nah the bingo was another binding vow.
Im sure Todo made one somewhere in there
Sick fact I can't believe Commander Nick missed, Yuji's Domain depicts the train station Gege used when he was growing up, in the area the "Sukuna" urban legend originated from!
King of conveniences
Love the “well it is an explanation” that’s exactly how I felt about the people forgetting what the word copy means from last chapter
Nick I’m going to try and give you an explanation on why(i think) Jacob’s latter didn’t work well enough. (And I hope you see this nick)
See we have actually(to my knowledge) been given an example on why losing a drastically affect you CT/CT output. That example being naobito, see when naobito fought against Dagon he lose a good bit of his arm, and after Dagon they had to fight jogo, and ofc naobito got hit/killed by jogo’s flames, and it’s said that the reason why jogo was able to get naobito at all is because his CT speed was slowed because of him losing an arm.
And for todo still being able to use boogie woogie is obvious, because he made a damn Binding Vow.
Hopefully this helps.
For me this still doesn't explain it completely, in Naobito's case his technique involves moving your entire body
So without the arm he would need some training time to adjust his frames to not lose his balance while moving
On Hana's case I think it's the "ritualistic" aspect of the technique that was affected, like using both hands to hold the trumpet while blowing was similar to Sukuna needing his hands to use the world cutting slash.
The difference for Hana and Todo is that Gege is allergic to making women strong so Hana could not think of any binding vow she could make to have 100% output back
@@lothellieTodo is a seasoned fighter tho. Hana is pretty much a novice housing an entity that gives her this one special ability. Angel herself said Hana would pretty much be useless after losing her arm. She likely doesn’t have the experience or battle IQ to come up with an effective Binding Vow on her own.
@@BlankestKnight yeah I agree with that but if we take the 1 moth time skip in consideration I think any of the other more experienced people could help her come up with something specially since Angel is supposed to be a famous Heian era sorcerer
So for me this is just one more case of Gege not giving a fuck about his female characters
Todo came back after months of adapting to losing his arm. And was able to correctly use his ct again after a binding vow. Hana was literally in the medical ward before this fight lol. All this ytber is make false equivalent arguments to spice up his videos. Its kinda sad.
@@Jrsweezienot to mention the fact that boogie woogie is not only a support move but has quick activatoon and its output doenst realy matter
Wheres techniques like say ishigori can be impacte with weaker output
My understanding for why Jacob’s Ladder was less effective is because the connection of Hana and Angel is purely spiritual it leaves their physical body much more susceptible, so what sukuna means is because she suffered a physical injury it’s dampened the power that her souls are able to produce from that outlet.
Meaning that if the same rules applied to todo, yes he wouldn’t be able to use boogie Woogie, but Todo’s Tech is not just a physical or spiritual ability it’s both meaning he doesn’t have any restraints on his tech
While Angel does because she’s just using a body that’s only as strong as it is, if it’s damaged, her overall power decreases too much like Deku from MHA, he can throw a super strong punch, but if his arm breaks from it, his punch is weakened, obviously it’s not the most sensible but that’s what I took from what sukuna said
9:57 Maybe the power of Jacobs Ladder is channeled through the hands that she's creating the trumpet with. Trying to activate a technique usually preformed with two hands, with only one, probably results in lowered or even halved output without good vow usage.
i think it might have smth to do with loosing it to sukuna by biting it...
It also makes sense from a music standpoint, since you need two hands to play a trumpet so only having one means it would be half as strong
Yeah. Yoy can’t really do hand signs with one arm except the gojo one mainly.
That’s 100% what it is. Him not understanding that is crazy. Playing the trumpet acts as a hand sign, which acts as a binding vow which makes CT’s stronger. This has been the case since the beginning of the story
@@cam10_0 yeah. And we seen a similar enough situation. Naobito in Shibuya. Without both hands his speed and power dropped post Dagon domain which lead to his death.
I just don’t get how it went so damn good then went so damn wrong. This author is just doing whatever for whatever reason because he doesn’t wanna kill his baby Sukuna and it’s just making me crazy. You can’t just do that because you like a character more than another
I think Sakuna is just immune to Jacob’s ladder now because he learned how to adapt to cursed techniques after using Mahoraga.
Completely unrelated to JJK but: The new chapter of MHA that came out today is beautiful and almost made me cry. It’s the culmination of what the story has been building up to. Absolutely love it
Let's go boys
There's also the fact they have said that Yuji's body has used Domain Expansion before with Sakuna.
So my guess is between his training and research he was given he learned how to turn barrier techiques into a Domain Expansion.
Also Domain Expansion used to be a lot more common in the past since they were law based not combat based. Yuji's appears to be Law based since it looks to be the final destination type of train ride on the last platform.
People tend to forget Sukuna is the STRONGEST IN HISTORY the fact that his CE didnt regen when he summoned his four arm for was literally the BIGGEST Plot to help the heroes but nobody complained mind you if he even had half of his CE he wouldve ONE SHIT EVERYONE so people acting mad hes finding ways to overcome in terrible situations is why hes THE STRONGEST and the only reason this is even a match is cause the plot has to NERF tf outta SUKUNA or it wouldve been a NO CONTEST match
you're going from what you believe to undewrstand form the story, if you go EXACTLY from what GEGE showed us and nothing more, as Gege himself stablished, one single blackflash coming from the weakest state sukuna has ever been and having been punched in the face by YUJI, is literally not sufficient enough to recover his 4 arms and RCT. And I am not saying this, is not My opinnion, its a factual statement that Gege explicitly told in the manga.
You’re thinking too much, manga readers aren’t supposed to be able to do that
@@jebalitabb8228 I Agree with you on that.
Yuji’s domain I believe does what a lot of twitter threads and TikToks do for engagement when they ask “no powers/just hands….who wins?” And basically cancels out both cursed techniques in the domain until one person wins/dies or until the domain expires. Essentially a nullification domain where whoever is the superior punch/kick merchant wins.
Nick overcomplicates and tries to pinpoint plot holes that are not that deep. Then when they are explained, he gets mad at the explanation. Cmon man just enjoy the story and the fight for what it is. If u want to shit on it don’t praise it when they animate everything and it’s actually fluid.
To the Hana trumpet thing, having both hands definitely matters in a story where gojo being able to do a one handed domain expansion is only possible because he's so special. More hand signs more power simple as that, which is one of the rules gege has stayed true to
Wouldn’t Angel losing an arm making Jacob’s Ladder weaker make sense? Because she’s not able to use hand signs and it’s not stated she used a Sukuna Vow
Either Yuji Used Some kind of soul splitting dismantle and sukuna was offscreen or......Yuji put sukuna in the body because left right good night is about to happen 1v1 om equal footing thats why hes in the yujikuna form
4:01 editor's not 😂😂
Double flipping the bird is awesome lol
Also if Hana’s Jacob’s Ladder was less powerful why wouldn’t she make a binding vow that it can only affect Sukuna? I love this manga but damn Gege just pulling stuff outta his ass now.
He gives people memories of him to make them like him, his counterpart has malevolent shrine, he probably has benevolent shrine that makes people like him. It’s such a peaceful environment in the train station that I bet we are going to get talknojutsu and flashbacks to the heian era and massive lore drops
9:27 it's established in the story that losing a part of your body decreases the output of your CT. This is the reason why Yuki had to heal vs Kenjaku to return the output of bombaye, Naobito becomes weaker after losing his arm in shibuya and Todo's talk about the mind body and soul all being connected is what explains why this happens, as well as explains how he was able to get boogie woogie to work with the vibraslap
Yuji has a domain expansion how can you not be excited
I kinda think yuji's domain could be a form of fighting in both forms of the souls. Kinda like fighting a 1v1 a smash bros stage. It combines both aspects of the soul and creates a "stage" with hazards to fight in until its over.
Yujis domain kinda reminds me of jjk's first op. A train where we saw both Yuji and Sukanya. Possibly some kind of throwback to that I assume. Not to mention the first op also does highlight multiple train tracks I believe in the first title card in red.
i don’t think sukuna’s appearance was changed because he was made weaker (gege could’ve just took away his powers without changing how he looks). if the train station really is the one from shibuya, then it’s pretty obvious why he looks like yuji now.
“i am you.”
there is no one in the story who saves people without a second thought more than yuji. and if there was anyone who killed people without a second thought more than mahito, it’s sukuna. this is quite literally the battle that mahito was depicting when he first said those words to yuji. good vs. evil, curses vs humanity, sorcerers vs shinigami, etc.
I got chills reading your comment. That scene was absolutely chilling and it would truly be fitting for it to come back around and have the lesson be taught the other way.
Personally I loved this chapter and saw no flaws, and truthfully I enjoy every part of geges story telling with JJK. I respect HIS vision and just appreciate him sharing HIS story and characters with us 🤷🏿♂️ just let him cook !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
6:00 I think Jacob's Ladder didn't work as much as it would compared in the first example of its use was because Megumi is still resisting the control of the body against Sukuna. In the current one, he really gave up the control even if Yuji is damaging the barrier of souls of the two. This is assuming Sukuna is still strong enough to resist it with his own.
Dudes got more plot armor than any shoenen mc
Take your pick 😂:
"Domain Expansion: Jujutsu Kaisen"
Or
"Domain Expansion: "Talk no Jutsu"
That would be poetic if his domain was named Jujutsu Kaisen we've never heard anyone say it in cannon
my idea as to why hana’s jacob’s ladder was weaker is that since there are two beings in her body, her arm being cut off not only cut off her arm but also cut off a part of angels soul inside of her/ weakened the connection. Doesn’t really make sense when you think about yuji/megumi and sukuma in them but this is gege we’re talking about this man is cooking with the house brining down around him
2:25 “Oh I’ll get him this time, beam attack!”
I'm seeing a "talk no jutsu" moment similar to Naruto and Obito. We saw how he was able to mess with memories of Todo and Choso... he's about to give Sukuna a talk no genjutsu 🤣🤣.
The Hana stuff makes sense imo, Shoko literally said she was in no condition to fight after losing the arm and because she never displayed any physical abilities I assumed it was related to her curse technique.
Yuji formed a very interesting hand seal towards the end of the chapter, and with that, manifested a domain expansion. It is interesting to note that Yuji forms the Jizo Mudra, or Ksitigarbha, and that implies that his role is to guide souls to enlightenment that have no chance of redemption.
Looking at it thematically, this is the absolutely perfect sign for Yuji, and it reaffirms the fact that he is going to be the one to defeat Sukuna once and for all. It also highlights Yuji as the guardian of souls. This aligns very well with his technique to deal damage to souls, and just goes to show that Yuji's own technique is very dangerous and important as well.
Shit, I'm sure there is someone else out there saying this but Yujis train station is not in reference just to the shabuya but to gojos airport. Yuji has always been a conduit for gege to explore the livings reckoning with death. His enlightenment is sukanas down fall his acceptance of death is the the thing that will truely end the sukanas cycle. Yuji will give sukana a good death. A truely binding vow. When I open my domain all those with in it will die. The reason sukan is back in Yujis body is becouse they will get on the train together. Just as geto and gojo boarded that plane we never saw. Yuji hand signe is associated with safe travels in buhdism and yuju is now a fully realised psychopomp, a ferry man, a benevolent reaper. The anti sukana. Domain expansion benevolent departure.
I am sorry about the spelling I am dyslexic and tipsy.
I have 2 ideas for what Yuji's domain is
1. Sukuna being in Yuji's body could be the sure hits being Sukuna now is in Yuji's grasp like Mahito and Yuji has the most influence when Sukuna while he was in his body meaning this could be the most powerful dismantle with no resistance to the severing.
2. Yuji's Domain focuses on Yuji's control on his soul and the reincarnates soul with the idea that he's their vessel and might lead to self ending destroying Yuji and Sukuna souls.
16:07 that is not true, even one finger sukuna could use rct in a great way, if you hit multiple black flashes your intensity increases, in terms of energy specifically electric energy intensity(Q/t), is the amount of electric charge that passes in a second. So to charge something it would take more time the lower the intensity of the electric current is. So to regain RCT you need a certain amount of curses energy or charge, the more intensity someone has the less time it would take to reach that threshold.
Considering every black flash further increase the intensity to an exponencial level, so more black flashes decreases multiple times the time it needs to recover until it reaches near 0, either way sukuna stated that one more soul dismantle would kill him, yujis domain with the sure hit effect would do the trick this is ggs.
But before the end I wish we have a final backflash of sukunas story.
I have a theory about Yuji’s domain and I think we’ve seen it already. Benevolence: his domain floods you with positive curse energy, by placing you into his positive memories. By doing so he changes how u view him, canceling ur curse energy.
It fits with him being the nephew of Sukana. What if Sukana’s brothers technique was original a feed technique. This is a walk but, think of it like a chef cooks for people not himself what if tht is the back end
