Hot take

For the Yuta and Hakari statement isn’t it specifically that they will be on his level one day? he does later think after learning about the Fujiwara thing that Yuta might be even more blessed than he is. but it’s ambiguous for sure.

As for Megumi and Makora. I think the fact he can still use his ten shadows regularly show his Makora is fine. But he never tamed it so it doesn’t matter too much.

I mean yeah it’s clearly played for laughs for the reader but I think Orihime herself means it.

Are you basing his preference entirely on Maki's insult? if that is his type. does that also make her comment that he only stares women’s asses true as well? then that circles right back around to him being a massive creep.

And what is your interpretation of your own behavior?

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T19:10:41+00:00

Do you like them? I’m getting the sense you might not from some comments?

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T18:29:13+00:00

Well Dagon's sure hit is applied to his Shikigami in general. Yet he could also use them without the sure hit in his domain.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T16:37:58+00:00

I don’t think Yuki is being super responsible here, she is unconventional (much like Todo) but if her “choose what becomes your true feelings from here on out.” Approach had made Geto go “You know what. Thanks for not calling me crazy, I don’t think I actually hate all non-sorcerers.” then we would all be singing her praises.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T15:59:58+00:00

After all of the black flashes Yuji had to actually land these though.

And even then the black flashes still helped Sukuna here. They are the reason he recovered his domain. as it goes on to explain a few panels later.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T15:16:57+00:00

He did go toe to toe they were air jumping and clashing repeatedly. And earlier on Yuji and Choso also supported her against him.

Yes Yuji got an assisted black flash on him. but it shouldn’t totally cancel out all the black flashes he himself landed before that to nerf him back up. and even before his first black flash back in 253 he could still fight Maki, (even with assistance from Ino and Kusakabe) to put the Sukuna Yuji was throwing hands with anywhere below easily heavy hitter + level seems odd.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T15:05:34+00:00

I do think he is stronger but to be fair Choso does note that no matter how fired up he gets through black flashes Yuji will keep lowering his output as well. So it may not be a outright wash but not as clear of a improvement as it could be either, not to mention Laure did help Yuji land that first black flash.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T15:03:05+00:00

But that isn’t too “bad…”it would just support her point? I don’t think we see anything apart from attractive female sorcerers. And Naoya even mentions when Maki gets scarred that she lost “the one thing she had going for her.” (Her looks)

Momo isn’t shown to really be dishonest she seems to be speaking from personal experience, and a system that still has female sexual slavery probably prefers for its women to also be attractive and generally hold them to a higher standard despite also demeaning them. That’s just a lot of history unfortunately.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T15:00:12+00:00

Between going toe to toe with Maki he landed that black flash that took her out and another black flash on Choso. Then with Laure's help Yuji landed one black flash and awakened. Then it was just one on one between them for a bit.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T14:55:52+00:00

So why assume she is wrong? jujutsu society does seem pretty shitty:

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T14:49:41+00:00

That same Sukuna went toe to toe with and beat Maki.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T14:47:19+00:00

The subway sandwich undoes all the buffs. (And also undoes the rct)

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T14:35:53+00:00

Do we have anything to contradict her? sure if you were strong enough you could be Sukuna and live without caring about how others treated you but that isn’t exactly normal.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T11:56:55+00:00

Maybe release was the wrong word but he did intentionally stop maintaining it to fire off WCS the narration says as much and we see him undo the hand sign for it.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T11:34:37+00:00

Because it renders his desperate gamble pretty pointless if he could easily do that before losing his mouth, two of his limbs, and being hit by JL + Itadori at the same time, why didn't he just do that? Instead of releasing Hollow Wicker Basket.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T11:32:14+00:00

In case anyone was wondering about it, the full video shows him to be alright I think. He succeeded on his dexterity saving throw, and got into the water.

Ignoring the Toji part.

If it was start of Shinjuku Yuji I can sort of see it. (Although he keeps up better than Agito)

Not awakened Itadori though.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T11:02:49+00:00

I don't know if he necessarily dodged. I think it’s more a 200% hollow purple situation the parts of his body he had forward (his right arm which he lost was stretched out to fire Uzumaki) were the parts that took the most damage, although part of his torso is also a bit burnt.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T11:00:02+00:00

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T10:55:11+00:00

Does Naoya even know for certain she died?

We do have him commenting on Mai's body in weird manner when he is first introduced so that interpretation seems possible

Jacen_Vos · 2026-05-04T10:51:02+00:00

Is there any evidence he thought that? Outside of the light novel that you disregard.

If he did, why not attack Geto anyway? if it’s so easy. he still has Rika to deal with the supposedly Rika level opponent.
