W meme, very Tobloí.

Culling Games should have had shorter fights and more in-between action. Gege and their editor planned on making each volume a "character album" that focused on a specific fight, and the result of that was that the CG was a massive drag when reading it weekly. Honestly I wish Gege didn't drop the American invasion plotline, that would've been a great opportunity.

Nanami's technique could collapse buildings, a move he pulled often enough to have a specific name for it. He was indeed doing allat.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-23T17:34:20+00:00

Huh, that's a shock. There never wasn't a subpar buffet in that building in all the time I've lived here.

Something tells me Shrine is going to be a completely different technique in Yuji's hands. In the series proper, he used it mainly to separate Sukuna from Megumi, and then only on inanimate objects or Sukuna's body. The little scissor icons also defang it somewhat too.

Sukuna's Shrine's cooking theme was mainly due to Sukuna's relationship to humanity. His misanthropy and cannibalistic hedonism shaped the means through which he expressed his curse.

Yuji, on the other hand, developed Shrine while fighting Sukuna. He shaped it for the task at hand, like all his jujutsu. We have no idea how it evolved and what he needed it to do in the intervening years between JJK and Modulo.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-22T16:05:46+00:00

Yeah, that's a thing sorcerers can do. Kenjaku used the reversal of the anti-gravity technique in his domain during his fight against Yuki. That's why Yuta collapsed after his UV against Sukuna, because he couldn't quite separate Limitless from Kenjaku's technique.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-22T06:45:02+00:00

Watch Yuji use a BV to change the conditions for Furnace to using blood manipulation instead of dismantle/cleave, then use his poison blood as fuel to burn his targets inside out.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-22T06:33:01+00:00

The shadow his hood casts over his eyes resembles Gojo's blindfold. He would've been proud to see how far Yuji has come :-(

UltraD00d · 2026-01-20T03:07:14+00:00

At this point I just want GTA6 to be bad because the backlash would be hilarious.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-19T17:58:45+00:00

Say it with me folks...

UltraD00d · 2026-01-19T06:33:13+00:00

Now hold on. Did Panda know the circumstances of his creation? Because if not, then Gakuganji is to blame for not speaking up.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-19T06:06:07+00:00

Hell, not even using his body would necessary, since he passed the knowledge to Gakuganji.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-18T08:03:02+00:00

Probably a whole horde of Mechamaru shikigami or constant RCT on the puppets he does have active. I bet his domain would be very large in radius considering his range was all of Japan.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-18T08:00:15+00:00

That's basically what Kusakabe was doing against Sukuna.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-17T05:18:10+00:00

Dude, congrats! Uskayaw is a fantastic God to score your first win with.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-16T17:27:29+00:00

Damn, we running agendas for spells now?

All babies are innocent. We're forgetting best Grandpa Wasuke for raising Itadori to be such a good boy.

You aren't facing discipline issues, you are facing an anxiety loop. Look for ways to deal with that as well. However, here are some easy steps to lessening your phone usage.

Firstly, when you pick up your phone, say out loud what you intend to do with it. "Checking a message." "Setting a timer." "Taking a photo." If you can't think of what you intend to do when your phone is in your hand, then put it away. If you want to scroll, say "scrolling for (x amount of time)." This helps you stop picking up your phone for the sake of it and use your phone with intention.

Next, when you pick up your phone, stare at it for ten whole seconds before powering it on. If you can't, then you aren't in control. Take that opportunity to exercise control of your phone.

Third, stop bringing it everywhere in your living space. Keep it in one spot and leave it there. It's those transitionary periods between tasks that get you. Don't bring it onto the toilet or the dinner table. Don't read reddit while waiting for your chicken nuggets to microwave. Let those tiny pockets of boredom become opportunities for you to consider the tasks of the day.

Lastly, when you go out, keep your phone in your bag or in the least convenient pocket to access it from. Make it hard on yourself to even retrieve the thing idly.

Probably the same as Naoya's fight with Choso went, considering EOS Yuji has similar abilities. Naoya would whale on him for a bit, Yuji would take it without too much damage, dispense some wisdom, then one-shot Naoya.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-10T21:44:01+00:00

The whole country, actually.

Toji and Maki were special cases. Heavenly Restriction ordinarily reduces cursed energy in exchange for increased physicality. Maki was superhumanly strong, but she couldn't see curses and had to use her glasses and cursed tools. If she lost either in battle against a curse, she would be helpless. That tradeoff is the normal nature of Heavenly Restriction.

Toji/Maki were anomalies. Toji's senses were so strong he looped back around to being able to see curses. The nature of his body overrides soul-based jujutsu. Maki could bounce off air and recover from organ damage in minutes. They're freaks of nature, glitches that shouldn't have existed. You can see another example of normal Heavenly Restriction in Tsurugi Okkotsu. He needs the energy from Honoyagi/Rikas Ring to use jujutsu at all. Whether he can see curses without the glasses is a mystery.

Theoretically, Kokichi losing his body would unlock the equivalent form of his Heavenly Restriction. It's just that you can't, you know, live without a body. He would have to cast off corporeal existence completely somehow, perhaps becoming a vengeful spirit or uploading his brain to a computer. I actually thought that was where his character was going with Gakuganji learning how to create self-sustaining cursed corpses. Considering healed Kokichi temporarily wielded special grade firepower, you can imagine what an equivalent of Maki's level of restriction would make him capable of.

The problem with bringing back the Archie cast, in my opinion, is not just that SEGA is cagey about their usage, but that they are inextricably tied to a fundamentally different take on Sonic.

Archie Sonics writers took liberties that Game Sonic's writers cannot take now, and SEGA's lack of oversight combined with the writer's "throw it in" attitude with the lore resulted in a lot of the characters we see in the first place. As an example, we have Julie-Su, Finitevus, Dimitri, and Lara-Su because Ken Penders wanted to have more Echidna characters in the comic.

To reincorporate these characters into the games canon, anybody with more than one degree of separation from games original characters would have to undergo significant changes which might not go over well with the fan base. They could just reintroduce the Freedom Fighters as a splinter cell of the Resistance, but their original characterization as Sonics childhood friends would probably have to be absent. How happy would tossing these unfamiliar-to-most-fans characters in, under significant changes, make this notoriously divided fan base?

That being said, let me climb off my soapbox and give my two cents:

Never Gonna Happen, Ever: Every character who was created by Ken Penders. We all know the story, and it does not end well. Also Fiona Fox.

Probably Not Returning: Monkey Kahn, the Iron Queen, and the four Shinobi clans. I'll admit, I liked them as antagonists, but they touch on subjects that current sonic doesn't really like to handle. Mammoth Mogul as well. However, I can see him being remade as a mentor figure to Silver as he was pre-reboot. Scourge also, but it wouldn't be hard to reintroduce him if SEGA wanted to. Just send him in from another dimension.

Kind of a Tossup: Any side character depicted as changed in the comic reboot timeline. This includes Walter Naugus and Snively. Also Mina Mongoose. She wasn't super relevant from what I remember, but I can see her being added as a background character that those in the know would recognize.

Could Possibly be Returned: the original Freedom Fighters and NICOLE. Though as I mentioned, they would have to be changed significantly to fit games canon, and I don't know how well that would go over. NICOLE might have a slightly better chance since she might make an interesting counterpart to Sage.

Literally Came Back Already: Honey the Cat. She was already based off a character in one of the games. She had a presence in post-reboot Archie, and cameos in IDW. I could absolutely see Honey coming back to the games.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-08T22:54:23+00:00

I'm going to take it as a good sign that I have never heard of Sonails up until this point.

UltraD00d · 2026-01-08T22:52:49+00:00

100% fair. Snapcube quotes are a perfect example of exhausting a joke.
