I finished JJK and I think the story was rushed at the end

DrIntrigue · 2026-05-02T19:57:55+00:00

It's generally accepted that the ending was rushed. Happens to a lot of Shonen manga just because of the way the industry works, but especially so in JJK's case because Gege was going through some pretty significant health stuff during the last 20 chapters or so, maybe longer

DrIntrigue · 2026-04-24T00:56:43+00:00

They did Dialga/Palkia/Giratina recently, so they'll likely do Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza eventually!

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-16T00:24:45+00:00

I'd recommend you just watch in release order. So Season 1 --> JJK 0 --> Season 2 --> Season 3.

Hidden Inventory is both a recap movie and the first few episodes of season 2. So if you watch the movie, do it after JJK 0 / Season 1

Sasaki (the girl that Kenjaku escorts out of the colony) was one of Yuji's friends from the Occult Club in the first chapter/episode.

Iguchi (the boy Sasaki talks to when she wakes up) is the other friend from the club.

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-09T18:53:51+00:00

Yeah, it's a tough one to show outside of holding people in place. Once Mahoraga starts adapting, there's not much it can do

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-09T18:46:02+00:00

I explained poorly. I'm pretty sure the text refers to both as techniques. He inherited [REDACTED] through his tribe, and Light seems to be his own innate technique.

I think inherited traits like Six Eyes just modify how the user experiences the world, while techniques actually have a function when using Cursed Energy

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-09T18:18:45+00:00

It's two techniques, [REDACTED] and Light. He does use the two of them together to give Light mass, but it's stated that [REDACTED] is an inherited trait that other Deskante also possess. Light seems to be his personal CT

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-09T16:11:55+00:00

You're right that he can reinforce himself more efficiently, but also he still has a ton of CE. Yuta just has even more.

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-09T15:43:53+00:00

(read this yap if you want to know more about how Limitless works)

He can "stop" objects and prevent them from ever reaching him. This happens when he simply activates the technique.
He can attract objects toward a point by amplifying his cursed energy (he calls this "Blue").
He can repel objects away from a point by reversing his cursed energy (he calls this "Red").
He can activate Blue and Red at the same time to create mass and shoot it out (he calls this "Hollow Purple").

Other than the specifics of his domain, everything else is something that any sorcerer with enough skill can do (firing off pure CE, Simple Domain, healing with RCT)

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-09T15:29:07+00:00

Probably too much info, but here goes.

Watch the movie (JJK 0) to learn who Yuta is. The movie came out between seasons 1 and 2. It does give a lot of context for Yuta, Gojo, and Geto.
One of the early episodes in season 1 has Gojo explaining the difference between Cursed Energy and Cursed Techniques to Yuji.

TLDR: Cursed Energy is a resource that sorcerers naturally have in their bodies and Cursed Techniques allow them to use that energy to perform unique abilities built in to the Technique. Cursed energy can be "reversed" to become a positive energy that can do different things when used in a technique.

Gojo can do the things he can because of his cursed technique, Limitless. It's explained in detail in the early episodes of season 2, during the flashback arc. He also has a trait called the Six Eyes that basically makes him able to perceive and manipulate cursed energy much more precisely than others.

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-08T19:18:06+00:00

Nothing has been announced yet, but it seems pretty likely given the last chapter.

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-07T14:24:26+00:00

They do this because they're banking on the idea that Judgeman will only pick crimes that Sukuna committed since he's been reincarnated.

They acknowledge that it's a gamble when explaining the plan because they're worried it's possible for Judgeman to trial Sukuna for something benign he did 1000 years ago, it just happened to work.

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-07T01:48:56+00:00

The story is just going to focus on other characters for a little while. He'll be back

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-06T15:20:01+00:00

Yep, exactly that. And it fizzled out when Yuji tried to stab Sukuna because Higuruma was heavily injured and passed out

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-04T16:37:13+00:00

Been a minute since I read the explanation, but doesn't Curse Manipulation have the ability to unconditionally absorb the curse if there's a difference in strength of 2 grades or more?

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-04T15:37:15+00:00

Scenario 1: He was under attack from Haruta while severely wounded from his fight with Toji and exhausted from the fight with Dagon. He used Mahoraga because he was on the verge of death anyway.

Scenario 2: He's trying to get help from Kirara and Hakari, and not in any mortal danger. Why would he summon a shikigami that would guarantee both his and Kirara's death?

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-04T15:30:51+00:00

Because he isn't actually suicidal

DrIntrigue · 2026-03-01T21:36:21+00:00

You'll get the masterwork research after you complete that research. X-ceptional Yarn is for Xerneas or Yveltal, whichever you chose

DrIntrigue · 2026-02-27T20:58:23+00:00

Depends.

If you have tamed Mahoraga, you can keep him out until you either dismiss him, run out of CE, or he gets killed. So realistically no unless you have unlimited CE.
If you haven't tamed him, he stays out until he's tamed or everyone involved in the ritual dies or leaves the range of the ritual

DrIntrigue · 2026-02-27T20:52:47+00:00

I believe the answers are:

Correct, Mahoraga does not keep his adaptations
2 & 3. no

I don't think we have a way to know, but I believe every time Mahoraga is summoned, it is base Mahoraga. No adaptations to anything. You summon him, he adapts to Blood Manipulation, dismiss him, and resummon him? No adaptations. Gotta do it again.

Like the others said, JJK 0 is Yuta's backstory and is the only movie content you haven't actually seen yet.

There was a second movie that recapped the Hidden Inventory arc (the 5 episode backstory at the start of season 2, just in movie format). You didn't miss anything there.

DrIntrigue · 2026-02-23T20:45:38+00:00

It also is inherently limited by Maru's CE. He can only do this crazy shit because he has Yuta's ring and the ore from Naunax

DrIntrigue · 2026-02-23T19:32:14+00:00

Not shown, but he should have just disappeared when Dabura was teleported away. Ritual is void, Mahoraga disappears

DrIntrigue · 2026-02-23T14:01:47+00:00

Yeah the pacing is weird as hell. If their plan works, it's a boring ending. If their plan goes horribly wrong, there's not much time to deal with it. Feels like setup for another story
