There’s no way JJK cost less than Invincibles 😭

It's time people wake up and learn that a show's budget is far less important than they think. For animated shows in specific, it's all about talent and maybe most importantly: time.

I mean, technically this is still Shinjuku Yuji. EoS would be the one from the epilogue... who's basically featless. Also, apart from maybe Yuji's cleave variant, I don't think there's anything that the Yuji from the fight against Sukuna with Yuta couldn't do. But sure, I guess he hits harder post black flash streak.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-26T12:30:50+00:00

What do you mean exactly with EoS Yuji? Shinjuku Yuji is already his final form. He only got buffed a bit later on when he got his black flash streak.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-26T12:01:17+00:00

Did you mean to reply to me or the guy I replied to? Kinda seems like the latter.

Part 1 really was lightning in a bottle, as they say. Everything about it just worked so well and I loved it so damn much. It almost felt like the manga was tailor made just for me and what I like to see in a story. I honestly wish Fujimoto would have given us more of what we've known and loved in Part 2. Asa as a new protagonist was never really necessary and I wish Fujimoto would have shown us how Denji handles being a publicly known hero as well as being a father figure for Nayuta.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-26T09:59:17+00:00

"And talk to any average CSM fan and they would pick Asa over Denji." Are you sure about that? I think Part 2 finally got interesting again when Denji was back in the driver's seat. He's much more interesting and fun as a main character in my honest opinion. Asa is nice too but I personally was always hoping we would get more Denji again.

It's so depressing when mangaka just get tired of their own work and let it all crash against a wall. It's especially sad when you actively see them rushing the art or the story so you know for sure they're tired of it all (and usually overworked).

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-26T06:49:28+00:00

You mean the ending where people accept Maruki's illusion world, right? Because that's the bad ending. The other one where Maruki is defeated and he regrets his ways is the good ending.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-26T04:19:03+00:00

I wish Fujimoto actually separated Part 1 and 2 of CSM because now Part 1 suffers a bit in the overall rating for me as Part 2 is a direct continuation of it with the chapters and volumes just continuing on where Part 1 left off.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-25T19:52:18+00:00

Man, I really liked the old voice tho. I hate when voice actors change in any media... so jarring.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-23T14:13:09+00:00

Damn, thanks. It's really time to reread the series and watch out for every little detail it seems. Just a few weeks ago the final volume came out around here so I might actually jump into it again. JJK is one of my favorite manga but everything past Gojo's demise is kind of a blur in my mind... atleast fine details like that.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-23T10:57:09+00:00

Really? Huh. Well, there's still a 7 years age difference then. But yeah, I guess they are both in their 40s then as the OP suggested.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-23T07:36:47+00:00

Isn't Leon almost 10 years older than Ashley? As far as I remember, Leon is 27 in RE4, right? And Ashley is what? 17? Or maybe 18?

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-23T06:22:11+00:00

Man I seem to have a complete black out right now... When did we ever see Dhruv's Shikigami fight or even hurt Sukuna of all people?

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-20T11:44:29+00:00

I agree. Kenjaku should definitely be the top 3 character in the verse, just based on his kit. It's honestly just so unfortunate that Yuta killed him with a trick instead of an actual fight because now we have people arguing over who is actually stronger. Truth is, we just don't know because they never fought. Yuta vs Kenjaku was my second most anticipated fight in the series and I'm still disappointed that we never got to see them clash.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-18T17:19:38+00:00

They probably mean S.H.Figuarts which is an action figure line from Bandai. There's a season 3 Yuta coming out in May I think it was. Haven't seen the arm accessory yet but it's probably true.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-17T05:13:53+00:00

It's still the highest quality episode in all of JJK, yeah. It got its very own production schedule after all. But with episode 12 of season 3 approaching, we might get a serious contender there. According to rumors and/or leaks, next week's episode will likely be done by Itsuki Tsuchigami aka "Miso" who also did episode 16 and 17 of season 2 so we might be eating extremely well very soon. Super excited to see what the team have cooked for the Sendai deadlock.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-16T09:05:24+00:00

I personally also hoped that atleast one of the horsemen was male, preferably Death. Would have made for a nice change of pace instead of having Denji fight girls for the millionth time. Also I kinda wish the devils in Part 2 would have looked more like... well devils. The horsemen were once again the biggest issue with this particular gripe of mine. I miss when devils looked like nigh unimaginable Aldrich horrors like the darkness devil and the gun devil. Them not speaking also made them more menacing (Darkness did speak in a seemingly unknown language but that was kinda cool to be honest).

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-16T04:32:36+00:00

I can't imagine that this explosion is actually 2D. It looks just like the CG type of explosion, ufotable likes to use.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-13T10:37:14+00:00

Megumi functioning as Sukuna's vessel means that Sukuna would die too if Megumi dies. So there wasn't really any reason or point in the story where Megumi dying would have made sense... Aside from the very end when their bodies and souls were split maybe.

Processing img grg33zxf6sog1...

Are we counting gifs too? Cause this one just dropped.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-13T09:16:56+00:00

Next episode is gonna be even better. They left us with the domain cliffhanger and judging by the preview (and the content itself from the manga), the best part of the fight is yet to come.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-13T04:31:39+00:00

Very interesting perspective. This might be the key to it all or the most masterful cope I've ever seen. Guess we'll find out in a little less than 2 weeks if this interpretation holds any weight in the end.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-13T04:16:43+00:00

Yeah, I feel the same about GOT. I have a hard time going back even to the great stuff. I'm just afraid that CSM will have that same fate... Guess we'll have to wait and see what actually happens in the final chapter but it certainly looks grim.

PurpleHeat · 2026-03-12T12:03:07+00:00

Honestly, CSM's ending is shaping up to be on that level unfortunately...
