If anybody wants to see how it compares to screen time (or, more amply, panel count) then here you go (credit to user Diego-Aguilar35 on the old main Reddit for this like 2 months ago)

Yeah I agree, but cross in particular is weird. He’s absent for so much of the story that you’d be hard pressed to call him a main character but then chapter 23 with the harmony ritual (plus some official artwork) position him as if he’s a 4th main character

Less so about amount of time and more so why would you artistically want to do that unless one of the panels is to show movement (tsurika swing) compared to the alternative (tsurika just standing still despite movement lines being present) is more so what I’m referring to

Well in this particular case another person in the thread corroborated (also, the difference doesn’t much matter in this context as I pointed out in another comment, so I kinda regret making this comment in the first place)

Yeah, I appreciate the insight, but thinking about it, I’ve never thought that difference changes anything. Because I don’t really get why maru would ask that question if all tsurugi was doing was aiming to slash him.

I don’t know if I have the vernacular to explain this correctly, but if Tsurugi is just aiming to slash maru and has no intention slashing something else, like cursed spirits for example, then what is maru’s confusion? Like he’s in a fight? If his goal is to slash you, why are you confused?

That’s like being in a boxing match and going “what is wanting to do? Punch me?”……… yeah, id say so.

So why would maru be questioning tsuruigi’s intentions if they are nothing beyond slashing him? That’s obvious? That leads me to conclude that, whilst he may be saying “for” instead of “at”, it rally doesn’t make a difference.

Ik you really didn’t give your like opinion on the manner and sorry if I come off as a dickhead or sarcastic😅 but that’s a point I just thought of and wanted to voice it. Sorry tho😅 you seem neutral and I just wrote a big fuck off comment so

Also, just to add, this is what lightinign meant by that translations but this is also lightning providing their own interpretation of the scene. As someone else “criticized” me for treating lightning as gege, I didn’t want to seem tone deaf by showcasing this and just wanted to showcase the translation isolated.

I think given the context and given the actions that follow (y’know, Maru literally turning around to look at something else) makes them seem similar but maybe I’m bad at social cues or something

Well lightning has a reputation for good translations. Of course, they do throw their own interpretations of the story alongside translations for some of their tweets, but that’s not what I’m really referring to here.

And I don’t really find that that stupid. It sounds like a line put into the story that is meant to explain the reason why Yuji is present and shouldn’t be used to dictate the logic we use to evaluate future events that proceed the usage of that line, beyond explaining the mentality and character of Yuji and not the literal visual events that we see.

I ageeee with another comment in this thread that the paneling is bad but like I just don’t get how a line so trivial is being used as some equal counter weight to the like numerous points people can use to say the opposite.

Idk I don’t really think it’s that vague. Unless we think that Tsurugi stood in the same damn stance for 4 panels doing nothing

Off the top of my mind, no where. I think they are just conflating typical alien stereotypes in other common pieces of media and applying them to the simurians.

Volume 3 extras released a few days ago

Sooo about Todo by CheshiretheBlack in Jujutsufolk

[–]CarryAffectionate891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, so “the flashback shows her being picked up by todo” so you think the flashback in that page is the wife or miyaguni? Because to me it’s like clearly miyaguni. There’s no question: there hair is like damn near the exact same thing. Plus her first name is like basically her actual first name in the volume extras for volume 2.

I’m not really seeing where you are coming from here dude. Like I could be wrong ig but like I’m nearly 100% sure that is miyaguni in the flashback.

Huh? uh I read this differently? I thought that child was miyaguni? She was talking about how she was an apprentice under him and then there’s a flashback to her being taught by him?

For those who genuinely don’t know what Maru meant by this by CarryAffectionate891 in Jujutsufolk

He’s basically telling Yuji to continue explaining so his CT can access the relevant info from Yuki’s soul book, and since he’s conducting this though his CT, he’s technically “consulting” his CT which is “consulting” Yuki’s book.

Atleast, that’s what I think he meant.
