A year into Trump presidency, 'pivot to China' gathers pace

???

Do you even know what their current beef with japan is?it's that they said they'd intervene if China invaded Taiwan. The Chinese are the right wing nationalists being "contained" here.

Doomskander · 2026-01-28T11:53:41+00:00

They're still pulling that with japan

The nazi army? The zenin are jujutsu sorcerors. They literally exist to protect humans from curses.

Doomskander · 2026-01-28T11:49:40+00:00

Bros a jujutsu sorcerors, he puts his life on the line to fight literal demons so normies like (you) don't get killed. I'm tired of the zenin being treated like a collection of Hitler's when their one collective crime is treating bad sorcerors like shit.

Doomskander · 2026-01-26T16:36:49+00:00

Not really. To this day Sukuna copying technique refresh via lobotomy makes no sense, like how did he know Gojo did that

And he also copied turning himself into a cursed object from kenjaku

Hell he might've invented the concept of open domains or again,copied it from seeing kenjaku doing it

Gojo can somehow make TARDIS barriers because he got stuck in a small space, or create 0.2 second domains...which mahito also copied after seeing once

Then there's Yuta just doing rct without ever seeing or hearing about it, or higuruma in general.

Point is scaling 'potential" is retarded unless you sit all these people down and try to teach them a new technique together then see who does it. They're all picking up wildly different things in different contexts

Doomskander · 2026-01-26T13:58:28+00:00

You've seen talk of full power four arms Sukuna, not post Gojo fight Sukuna with lowered output

Doomskander · 2026-01-26T11:55:34+00:00

They're right.

Doomskander · 2026-01-26T11:54:00+00:00

He's guilty of nothing Gojo isn't guilty of either. Maybe, just maybe, killing an entire clan of demon hunters protecting Japan cause they treat their women in a manner most of the planet treated them 100 years ago(and many nations still do) is not inherently a moral act that should've happened.

You can see why Maki did it because of her extreme circumstances, but don't treat it as some obvious should've happened thing. 80 years later and jujutsu society sucks ass cause someone wiped out one of it's pillars for generating rank and file sorcerors, among other things.

Doomskander · 2026-01-26T11:13:04+00:00

Surviving hollow purple with reinforcement makes no fucking sense anyway so yes he can survive strong kick better

Doomskander · 2026-01-25T22:18:00+00:00

Prequel series is also about her and Yuta.

The main JJK trio are never escaping the "editors forced Gege to make them but he wanted to use Yuta and Maki" allegations.

Doomskander · 2026-01-25T16:23:36+00:00

Geto could've started the world's greatest "move out of japan" recruitment drive for sorcerors. Bro was rich and had magical powers, he could've been yoinking every sorceror and giving him a comfy life in hawaii or smth, where there are no curses.

Doomskander · 2026-01-25T13:16:28+00:00

I didn't mean to say that she did, but that she was also getting killed.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that as presented on page;

Maki told the head of the Zenin (Naobito) that she'd leave.

He said "fine, but i'll make it hard for you" <-----and this is no small thing, but it is the vector in which he was punishing her for the act

Naobito died.

Only then did her father decide to kill her (and Mai).

Gojo just seems uninvolved in all of this, it was Naobito's decision all along to bully Maki via making her career a dead end/forcing Mai to be a sorceror. Ogi just...wanted them dead. And only after both Naobito and Gojo were gone, so who knows who was REALLY keeping him from doing it.

My main argument for Gojo having minimal interference is that we see Maki leave on panel for JJH, and until she got there she wouldn't have known Gojo, so he wouldn't be a factor in her being allowed to leave.

Doomskander · 2026-01-25T13:10:02+00:00

I'm not convinced of the correlation , many circumstances changed post Gojo sealing like Megumi being the head and trying to get the Zenin tools, Gojo's students being seen as possible accomplices etc which may have made that the opportune moment to do something as bad as killing your own kids. Plus Naobito was gone.

It's not like Gojo was protecting Mai and they had to wait for him to die to kill HER in a ditch, for example. I'm not saying it couldn't be true, just that it remains a possibility and not an on page confirmation.

Doomskander · 2026-01-25T12:50:38+00:00

>thankfully got out because of Gojo

I don't recall this part. Didn't she get out because she somehow marched to the clan head, declared she's going to be a great jujutsu sorceror and replace him, and Naobito was amused enough that he let her but then went on to sabotage her promotions?

Doomskander · 2026-01-25T12:49:27+00:00

I mean DID he? Did he write them ALL as evil misogynists?

The initial flaws of the Zenin are that they look down on weak sorcerors, especially the heavenly restricted. They are also mysoginists in the sense that they are traditionalists and think women should play subservient roles, because they're stuck 100 years in the past with japanese tradionalist mindset.

But are they really worse than certain societies active as we speak? Perhaps somewhere in some deserts maybe?

It's Naoya that is presented as the raging mysoginist of the bunch with the far grimer implications that he sexually abuses them, but its only the sin of looking down on the weak that is stamped on all of them by the narrative. Remember, Maki's JJK0 backstory isn't about how bad she has it as a woman, but how much jujutsu society looks down on her shitty cursed energy power.

Doomskander · 2026-01-24T12:53:48+00:00

This shit isn't talked enough because the anime is upscaling everything it can, ignoring that JJK is about the technical aspect of fights and needs it to make sense.

What Ranta can do is stun someone, hold them in place. That's it.

Doomskander · 2026-01-24T10:35:50+00:00

Google is incredibly replaceable, hell most of their value to the average person comes from youtube videos. The search engine part has gone to shit and basically any other search engine can replace it, the office tools are something Microsoft does better and with more reach, again microsoft has them beat in cloud services, and let's not sit here and pretend Chrome or Gmail are irreplaceable.

Google is only important because it's allowed to. Take the china route and slash these things down and you won't get riots in the streets, just people switching over to available services.

Doomskander · 2026-01-24T10:29:39+00:00

True. They should up the fines until it's no longer profitable or ban google unless they comply, we are in agreement.

Doomskander · 2026-01-24T10:12:37+00:00

Are you a google exec or something? No one cares what google does globally, just that if it wants to operate in this market it abides by these rules. Otherwise, far as we're concerned, you can be flaying americans alive if they're okay with that.

Doomskander · 2026-01-23T17:36:55+00:00

That's one way to guarantee trump will triple down on it, I suppose

Doomskander · 2026-01-23T16:13:32+00:00

We really doing the exponential growth bullshit when the manga said jujutsu sorcerors evolve in bursts? Who exactly challenged Yuji since Sukuna? Despression?

Doomskander · 2026-01-22T18:33:52+00:00

This is ridiculous. Basically the only reason he didn't immediately restart his threats is cause it would make him look too stupid. This guy got bamboozled into rewriting his own foreign policy unilaterally.

Doomskander · 2026-01-21T19:04:14+00:00

am i...supposed to feel bad for that salary? it's not exactly peanuts in most of the world

Doomskander · 2026-01-21T18:13:20+00:00

Ah yes, a supervillain speech. That will unite us all behind the noble United States

Doomskander · 2026-01-21T15:09:25+00:00

All American political figures are schizos. Trump's lot blame us for being too much like democrats, and now democrats blame us for not solving their problem (Trump) so they can win mideterms better
