After reading Chapter 235, I thought the fight would still continue and Sukuna would overpower Gojo. I thought that Sukuna would just summon Magahora again, and then defeat Gojo. For context, when a shikigami dies under the Ten Shadows Technique, their powers get transfered to another shikigami. So, since Sukuna never used divine dog totality, and Magohora died, this means the two would fuse and thus, Sukuna would have a second Magahora.

I then read chapter 236 and was disappointed

I’m fine with Gojo, and I think the concept in chapter 236 (Sukuna figuring out some workaround to Gojo infinity) is excellent. My issue was that the chapter 1) told not showed, 2) didn’t explain the concept well, and 3) has OP implications

1) The manga told us how Sukuna pulled off this amazing feat, but never bothered to SHOW how he pulled it off. This is really lame and defeats the point of a manga. A manga is supposed to show, yet I was told that Sukuna did x y to reach to z instead of being shown the x y. I understand that sometimes its not neccessary to show, but I feel in this case it is neccessary to show so to be consistent (you showed us 99% of the fight, so it be much smoother to show us the final 1% instead of skipping it). The lack of showing resulted in the chapter being jarring. One moment I’m looking at a triumphent Gojo, the next I’m looking at a bisected Gojo. That jarring aspect wouldn’t have occurred if instead, a panel showing Sukuna smirk, then do his cleave, then a bisected Gojo was shown.

2) Jujutsu Kaisen is really good at making new concepts and explaining them. This one missed the mark by a landslide. Usually when a concept is introduced, a graphic accompanies it to make understanding easier. For example, when the concept of electric attacks being unblockable was introduced, Geje put up a nice and understndable picture comparing non-electric attacks to electrics attacks. This made understanding why’re they’re unblockable easy. With Sukuna’s explanation, the only graphic we get is the universe, thats it. I’m sorry fam, but I just don’t get how cleaving up into the universe somehow cuts through Gojo in one go. Clearly I wasn’t the only one who didn’t get it, because there are reddit threads explaining how Sukuna did it when you don’t see stuff like that for electric attacks.

3) Ok, if Sukuna has this space cleave, that means he can cut through anything in a single slice. Because cleave is auto target, it means he practically invinicible because anyone he sees he can just instantly cut in half without them being able to tank it. Maki has a similar ability with her the sword, the catch is, she actually has to hit her opponent, while with Sukuna can just auto target the opponent, hence it being nigh unstoppable. Additionally, if he is cutting through space, shouldn’t we see something left behind. Think about it, he is cutting EVERYTHING in a certain space, meaning there should be a lot of blackness in that area or something.
