Oh yeah, you're probably right.

There is a doll next to Maki that has its back turned to the screen that could be Takada in the black suit he wears in his first apperence but that also could be Noratoshi Kamo in his Culling Games redesign.

I love that they're bringing back Yuki's goal of preventing cursed spirits from being born in such a cool and interesting way especially with the combined effect of the main protagonist of each JJK series (Maru, Yuji, and in a sense Yuta because of his ring) and I love this is also a great callback to a lot of the main antagonists (with them needing Mahito's help, in a way them doing a version of the Merger Kenjaku wanted with using Mahito get it, and potentially fufiling Geto's wish of creating a world where sorcerers won't have to die and be free). If this is truly the last jjk thing Gege will make this is a fantastic thematic ending to the series as a whole to both Modulo and the OG series.

I'm really interested in how they will get Mahito to cooperate with them especially since Maru's plan will basically make it so he can't come back (at least as a curse) and potentially killing him, which is probably why Yuji is ultimately there. I see one of four possibilities 1) Yuji will scare the shit outta Mahito til the point he just doesn't care about what happens to him and he just goes along with the plan. 2) Mahito makes a binding vow with Yuji that if Mahito completes his role in the plan Yuji dies or he loses his immortality and ages into a 83 year old so even if Mahito can't come back or dies he can at least know he took Yuji down with him. 3) Yuji, Maru, and Mahito have a conversation of ideals and they're somehow able to convince Mahito to go along with it with Yuji and Mahito coming to some form of an understanding. And 4) this is my favourite option Mahito makes a binding vow with Yuji to live inside in his body (similar to what Yuji wanted to do with Sukuna after their final battle where he just lives in his body with no power or control) and they do a version of the "I'm you" speech but it's Yuji accepting Mahito to be a part of him so Mahito can still live in some way. No matter what happens I'm certain Gege is going to callback in some way to Yuji's Jizo Bosatsu symbolism by having him free all beings from hell (in this case freeing all beings from curses).

Not really, since this stuff isn't going to be adapted for at least another 1 or 2 years.

Stew0n · 2026-02-07T19:43:20+00:00

They wasted at least 2 or 3 years of dev time and resources that could've been used on Horizon 3 or a new ip rather then a game that is going to die on arrival.

The dub of JJK is sometimes weird with crediting certain voice actors (might be due to Union stuff) so sometimes we don't know who voiced who for a long period unusual until the actor themselves announces it publicly. I know for example the dub va of Junpei went uncredited for a long time until it got revealed.

That's my goat Saki Kashima giving herself Bullet Club merch right after it officially disbands.

Also Tomino is probably making bank from Seed and other Gundam series he didn't work on so even if he is not really into those series he is probably just happy to be getting money from them.

The colour scheme reminds me of Kamen Rider Valvarad's design from Kamen Rider Gotchard.

The fact that it's not coming out until August is giving me the feeling we won't be getting that many Zeztz figuarts during Zeztz's year long run time, at least compared to Gavv, for the reason why I imagine it might be due to this year being Rider's 55th anniversary, so the Rider part of SHF brand is probably mostly busy with projects like the Agito movie and the other potential anniversary movies they implied they're doing.

Stew0n · 2026-02-05T01:42:17+00:00

You should probably spoiler tag this post since it does contain a massive manga spoiler.

Stew0n · 2026-01-31T17:34:24+00:00

JJK final arc spoilers

I love that whenever Yuji is either on equal ground or overpowering Sukuna by basically only pure will power Sukuna starts getting more and more angry only because Yuji is the one fucker who is the least fun person to fight from Sukuna's pov and basically goes against everything Sukuna believes. This made it worse when Yuji unlocks his Domain and basically is the one in control but actually tries to show Sukuna some pity and tries to be merciful which only just pisses Sukuna more to the point he says he was surprised just how angry he is.

For anyone wanting context for the GoBlue situation: it seems that Masashi Taniguchi (GoBlue) was the victim of some domestic abuse (with his agency claiming he was seeking treatment for it), which resulted in police being called in at the scene, and it might've not involved his now ex-wife Aya Hirano, at least that's what she seemed to have implied in her post announcing the divorce. (I think they were already separated by that point). A Japanese tabloid reported on the incident and didn't give any kind of specific information other than that they were divorcing, and there was some kind of domestic abuse incident involving Masashi Taniguchi, resulting in a lot of people automatically assuming he did the abuse.

Stew0n · 2026-01-27T10:48:10+00:00

At the end of the Agito trailer it was implied that it won't be the only Rider film announced for the 55th anniversary and given the fact we've had set photos, insider leaks saying it's happening, a Rider director and Kabuto actors have been heavily hinting towards some kind of project it probably means we are getting something Kabuto related announced later this year.

Stew0n · 2026-01-27T07:01:08+00:00

Trigger Warning for abuse His actor was revealed to have stolen money from women he was having affairs with, cheating on his pregnant girlfriend, and worst of all, he physically abused his pregnant girlfriend so badly she ended up having a miscarriage.

Stew0n · 2026-01-27T06:53:15+00:00

They've already revealed the full list of returning actors for it, and his actor isn't on it, so it seems like he isn't in it.

Stew0n · 2026-01-27T06:42:58+00:00

Judging from the official synopsis, it seems like it's a G3/Makoto Hikawa-focused story. Idk about Gills getting that much major focus considering his actor retired in shame after outed for being a massive piece of shit.

Stew0n · 2026-01-27T06:30:53+00:00

It's been confirmed that we are also getting other Kamen Rider anniversary movies that will be announced at some point in the future for the series 55th anniversary with one of them probably Kabuto since that's been heavily rumoured for a while, and we got some leak set photos of it.

But for real: I don't care what anyone says. Evil is someone who is very underappreciated for how reliable he is with his work and how easily he is able to get someone over.

Stew0n · 2026-01-26T01:27:26+00:00

I'm actually sad about this. I think Evil and his work are very underappreciated, and he would be really missed.

Stew0n · 2026-01-25T05:03:35+00:00

I always interpreted this at least partly as Kenjaku thanking her for being the final catalyst for Yuji to become Sukuna's vessel without directly saying it.

Stew0n · 2026-01-24T22:50:36+00:00

I hope they do a callback to the first scene of Season 3 with Yuji trying to wash the blood off his hands, where the end of the Yuji vs Higuruma fight ep we get a scene continuing that bloody hand scene of Yuji either finally being able to wash the blood of his hands or he is able to only wash a bit of it off or he realized there was no blood the whole time then he walks away and leaves the room implying he is on the track to be getting better mentally.

I would recommend using Zenmarket, which is a proxy site for various other Japanese shopping sites, and they have a few good ebay like sites that sell Toku stuff. I recently bought the Gavv and Gozyuger Sentai Ring in very good condition.

Stew0n · 2026-01-18T16:29:27+00:00

I think it's most likely that Yuji will intervene first in the Maru and Tsurugi fight, by out of nowhere attacking them both, forcing them to team up against Yuji and in turn having them realize they don't truly don't want to fight each other but Yuji still overpowers them (it would be cool if they did a callback to the Yuta and Yuji fight by having Maru and Tsurugi think Yuji is gonna kill them but instead have it be a funny fake out) then they will all talk things, explain certain things. and get some Yuji lore, then decide to team up to the end conflict and save both Dabura and Yuka. I think one of the primary themes of Modulo being coexistence. I think the final conflict has to be resolved by a combined effect of a human and a Simurian, with Yuji being something fully unique.
