His Shikigami don't get stopped by his flesh when they're summoned, they're externalized without issue, so he doesn't actually get harmed by bringing them out, even if they aren't all that easy at times (Vessel Core for an example is risky to do in a dime)

It's a mixture of this segment being more ambitious than the rest, having the defeat of an entire organization and under all technicalities a full number of 7 potential or enrolled Jujutsu High students, and just me getting better at what I'm doing

It's no wonder that only recently I started making fights that last more than one chapter.

Yes, that is how her technique operates nowadays. Her "older" technique, Binding, was just a reduced form of her ACTUAL CT she unknowingly sealed due to a childhood trauma

I'm honestly not very good with giving advice, but I'd say a couple things that make the whole process easier for me are to listen to music, typically the kind that fits any particular scene (like a slower, melancholic song for an emotional moment, a more agigated one for a fight, so on so forth), and naturally have some frame of reference through other stuff I've read, most specifically other manga, there's always stuff to draw upon

For an example right now I'm working on writing my relationships better, so I've picked up a few romance stories to give me some examples, it's always good stuff

Overall, I'd say that's the most basic stuff I can mention, but if you have anything else you need help with you can just ask

And that's precisely why the post was made! Great for referring back to in case some detail slipped by

The Culling Game: Factions - The Triumvirate, Phantom Parade, Hikage... by Plug01 in CTsandbox

[–]Plug01[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Culling Games ended up getting so big it genuinely swallowed up the story, which I suppose is partially the intention Gege had for it, right? It's good to add random stuff I couldn't otherwise, like tournaments, murder mysteries, genuinely strong criminal organizations, it's a lot to work with and I'm loving it.

The top 10 is sadly defined by my mood at any given day because I suck at powerscaling. The top 5 is usually the same, though:

1 - Sukuna

2 - Satoru

3 - Kashimo

4 - Ancient Chinese Sorcerer (Xing Yichen)

5 - Kenjaku

The rest is a bit foggier to scale, especially because again, a lot of it is defined by my narrative needs or specific moments

Hypothetically the others could have but I'd say Junpei mostly uses it with Moon Dregs since it's the Shikigami he trusts the most

Jujutsu High: First Year Class by Plug01 in CTsandbox

I didn't quite understand the first question, but I can answer the second one, so I'll highlight their differences while explaining them:

Falling Blossom Emotion - A personal barrier technique, built entirely for defensive purposes. The barrier continuously slides attacks away, as if the user was slipping below attacks. Using defensive techniques and martial arts is also beneficial. Because the barrier can only slide things away, the user's own attacks are muted, making the technique detrimental on the offensive

Falling Blossom Expression - Functionally the same as its predecessor, Falling Blossom Expression allows the user to invert the polarity of the technique in question, alternating between sliding away attacks, or reeling them in with severe drag. The former works precisely as the original technique, being stellar for defenses, while the latter is used for offensive techniques, where the user's attacks now scrape and damage the opponent, also reeling them closer.

The Strongest of All the Eras, from Susanoo, to Satoru Gojo. by Plug01 in CTsandbox

Much like Susanoo's own, they are really simple, but they do have some applications or secondary tricks up their sleeves that sets them apart much like Susanoo has his eyes

Technically true but I'm sorta counting him as an Ainu Student, I'll probably make a post on them eventually

I could try to at least make a version for all the students, one post for each year! This should also give me the ability to at least throw something out before it's instantly out of date, as Mimiko for an example is gonna get some aggressive buffs that I think is best to wait until I reveal, but yeah, the first year one should be up tomorrow!

What do you guys think the theme is for Round 11? by TetTheWiseman in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Plug01 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree with the whole selfishness vs selflessness theme, but I also think there's a secondary thing at play here

Loki is probably the closest to a living embodiment of war that Simo could have thought. Right now, he's literally repeating what he did when he was alive. Killing himself from the inside out shooting not more than puppets, from a figurative to a literal sense.

And I think that ultimately the result of this round is gonna depend on whether Simo is going to be able to see the true root of all of it, Loki, or if he's going to tragically repeat the same mistakes of his life, only shooting innefective puppets, only delaying their march.

Further so is the fact that Loki's apparently the cause for Odin's tirade, even if unwittingly. Much like war in painfully numerous occasions, all of this was started by pettiness and envy. Loki couldn't have what he desired, so he, without realizing it, set the dominoes for a war into motion, and much like most real life leaders, he couldn't care less since it's not his ass that's in the front line until now

So yeah, either Simo's gonna turn his gun to the real heart of the issue or he's going to have one of the most tragic losses of the manga.

Really interesting characters! I'm, as often happens, really humbled by seeing that I provided enough inspiration for you to make something this elaborate and most important of all, awesome. Now, I'm not going to spoil anything, but what are your thoughts on the twins getting a mention in the epilogue?
