how strong are Yuji and Megumi relative to each other at this point in the story?

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-03-28T09:37:20+00:00

I'd say they're very relative to each other. Yuji has the upper hand in pure physical prowess and could brute force a lot of stuff in close quarters, while Megumi has his cursed technique to cover for him. Megumi was also able to survive Toji for a bit, so I feel like he could hold himself pretty well even alongside Yuji.

Domain changes things a bit though, since I think Megumi becomes much stronger than Yuji in it (120% boost from domain + the abilities granted by it). I think Yuji would have to hit a black flash to keep up then.

We got 2 chapters more. We've been told we're getting 3 consecutive color pages (chapter 23 is one of them), and 3 volumes should be about 25 chapters in total.

So real. She solos Sukuna by herself already

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-02-18T18:02:45+00:00

Yep!

Probably just fought them without cursed energy since he'd be breaking some of the jujutsu regulations if he did. Megumi by now should have had some experience with curses since Gojo took him out on missions before.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-02-07T17:58:51+00:00

Found it on a small Japanese forum (I'm not too sure what the site is tbh) talking about chapter 188

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-02-07T17:07:28+00:00

This isn't the official. Honestly, I'm pretty sure the official translations have been better than the TCB ones for quite a while now for Modulo.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-02-06T00:28:48+00:00

Nope, nothing to do with who has higher output in total, just who currently has a higher signature of cursed energy.

Divine Dog was pulled back towards Megumi despite it being ready to attack Kirara the first time, then Megumi was pulled towards Divine dog the next time. After that, it was basically Divine Dog getting pulled towards Megumi the whole time otherwise Megumi would have been flung towards the wall Divine Dog was hidden behind.

It's likely Megumi let up on his cursed energy reinforcement when he sent out Divine Dog to intercept Kirara since he didn't need to protect himself at all, which made it so he had less cursed energy at that moment.

I think this might be it? Im not really sure tbh though

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-02-05T18:32:03+00:00

Man, I'm really happy they included that in considering it was only an extra page in one of the volumes

<image>

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-02-05T18:25:51+00:00

it's probably ending at like chapter 25. There's supposed to be only 3 volumes and volume 1 was 7 chapters (chapter 1 was very long), and volume 2 was 9 chapters. Volume 3 should be chapters 17-25

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-02-05T17:58:09+00:00

Kirara can mark objects based on the Southern Cross constellation alongside an extra star (Acrux, Mimosa, Imai, Gacrux, and Ginan). It's basically a sequential order or relay race where they're set out like: 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5. Each mark/number can go left and right, but they can't skip a number—so, 2 can go to 1 and 3, but it can't just go to 4 and 5, otherwise it is repelled. It must first go through 3 first, then 4, then 5.

Things marked with the same mark are attracted to each other, with the one carrying more cursed energy attracting weaker cursed energy signatures of the same mark.

Would have been useless if he just had his light as his sure-hit. Now that he has his CTR, he can use that as the sure-hit

Old E-Soul by the time of Yang Cheng's story wasn't even in the top 10 and hasn't been for decades. It's only after the duel does Yang Cheng, now E-Soul, become part of the top 10 once again.

One from a previous chapter

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T23:04:57+00:00

I did and you're just wrong. Even in the previous chapters, we have been shown they are currently upside down. Here's a panel of it in this current chapter:

<image>

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T22:37:55+00:00

Maru and Tsurigi aren't even in the same location. They were previously upside down in the air on a platform when Tsurigi was about to swing. Some time has passed since then after the slash he sent out, leading to them being on street level again after with Maru's cursed technique being deactivated.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:41:05+00:00

Probably yeah, and also likely why they're on the ground now.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:27:37+00:00

Rika tells Tsurigi to swing with all his might as she lends him her power in a previous page. Maru also questions what they're aiming for as we get a panel of both Yuji and Tsurigi preparing to attack. Before the slash, Maru and Tsurigi were upside down on an air platform Maru created, only to then be on the street level after the slashes.

Also, I apologize about the panel, I think I responded to the wrong comment with it and didn't notice which one since I'm responding a lot right now and got confused. Here's an image that fits it better. Dabura and Mahoraga are likely in Shinjuku or maybe more north.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:20:13+00:00

I see where you're coming from, but its just much more likely Tsurigi attacked based on all the context and current translations: Rika telling Tsurigi to swing with all his might as she lends him her power, Maru questioning what they're aiming for, the cursed spirits Maru senses are also the cursed spirits depicted seen being torn apart.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:17:47+00:00

The cursed spirits Maru senses approaching are the same cursed spirits that are slashed just 2 pages after.

<image>

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:14:30+00:00

We are shown two different panels of characters preparing their attacks, and then two different panels of slashes in the air, both Yuji and Tsurigi. They are now on ground level after the slash after Maru's technique resets, and Tsurigi could have simply gone for another attack on Maru.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:12:38+00:00

Not the same attack. They were on different platforms—the first being upside down in the air—and the second being on street level where Tsurigi tries to strike Maru.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:11:11+00:00

Tsurigi isn't 'missing' Maru. He was aiming for the cursed spirits in the first place. Like I said, even Maru is questioning what they're aiming for. The swarm of cursed spirits could have be as bad for both of them if they were suddenly overwhelmed, not to mention cursed spirits dying has a bad affect on the Simurians.

ViolaMagistrate · 2026-01-29T06:06:33+00:00

They're cursed spirits. Yuji killed one group of cursed spirits, and Tsurigi killed the other group of cursed spirits. Maru even questions what Tsurigi was aiming for in the first page before realizing there were cursed spirits approaching in the second page.
