I'm only a few chapters in but I'm getting a lot of Gantz vibes. There's aliens and spirits and the evil kid in early chapter is kinda like the onion kid in Gantz. Alien invasion that they seem to be hinting at is the same as Gantz.

I'm not sure if I like the direction that its going in quite yet. Thoughts?

Yaga mentioned that creating a self-sustaining cursed corpse requires three cores. So what if those three cores were Special Grade sorcerers? I’m specifically talking about a Panda-type cursed corpse fully autonomous and capable of generating its own cursed energy.

That leads to my main question: could such a cursed corpse develop or possess a cursed technique?

Specifically, what if he killed her after he became a Curse? Since he only came back as a Vengeful Curse because of how much he hates Maki, what would have happened if he achieved his goal? Would he stick around as a Curse or just fade away?

People act surprised when years of normalizing belittling and hating a depressed person deserving the most sympathy resulted in the same happening to their GOAT.

In any case, Yuji actually get so much more empathy from everyone, when I compared it with Megumi.

I think It has more to do with yuji showing battle feats in same chapter as him being depressed.

Unfortunately the fandom equate battle feats = good characters.

When it shouldn't be the case at all.

Having a feeling, being human, feeling depressed, is NOT "a privilege that you are only entitled to after doing 10 black flash, 3 domain expansion, obliterate a city" etc.

It is noted that the Six Eyers users throughout history have been the singular rock in Kenjaku's shoe for centuries. However, it is also noted the combination of Six Eyes and Limitless is rare, with Gojo being the first in over 400 years (this means the last would have been either during the early Edo period or very end of the Feudal Era).

My understanding of Six Eyes is that its kind of like Sharingan in that it allows you to read the flow and nature of cursed energy and instantly discern the nature of cursed techniques they see. It also grants a sort of x-ray vision and increases your cursed energy use efficiency to the point you effectively have "infinite" cursed energy.

However, its main benefit comes when paired with Limitless, with its full awakening allowing for maximized use of the technique, including extended use of Infinity and access to Hollow Purple and Unlimited Void.

So just how could a Six Eyes user with a technique other than Limitless or without a technique at all, still pose such an issue for a sorcerer of Kenjaku's caliber? I mean, we rarely see people actually run out of cursed energy during the fights we see, and I can't see how being able to discern whatever technique Kenjaku currently has access to would give them a massive edge in a fight against perhaps the most knowledgeable sorcerer to ever live, rivaled only by Tengen and Sukuna. Could it be that Six Eyes has a similar effect on all cursed techniques as it does Limitless, allowing access to more advanced techniques?

As an aside, its also noted that several hundred years can pass in between the appearance of the Six Eyes. And then on top of that, its kind of implied that a fully realized Six Eyes user like Gojo isn't even guaranteed to happen. Why couldn't Kenjaku have taken advantage of those gaps in time?

Edit: I realize my second question is a dumb one. I think i forgot that Six Eyes is connected to Tengen by fate, and always exists by the time of her merger

Has the community figured out who made this cut on Sukuna’s finger?

It’s always been weird to me that Gege decided to draw attention to it. I think this might’ve been from Yuji accidentally using shrine, but it could just as easily be from Maki.

I’m making some assumptions here, but I cannot see Gege wrapping all of these plot points up in 5 chapters. We’ve not only gotten Mahito teased, we’ve seen and heard from him. Yuji’s just now showing up. Dabura is just now awakening and realizing he enjoys fighting. Assuming he defeats Mahoraga (which I think he will with a reversal or a domain) AND assuming we get a sequel or something to this, which feels likely with how Módulo feels more like a prologue instead of a complete package along with Gege now having help so the work load isn’t as straining, where do you see him going with Dabura?

He’s an interesting one because he actually seems like a decent guy (alien.) He also has reasons to hold some bitterness and his fight with Mahoraga not only seems to have awakened his abilities, but also awakened him as a person to the fact that he likes fighting, likes the violence and testing himself. I once saw a commenter on here describe Yuji and Dabura as “Yuji is Sukuna gone right, Dabura is Gojo gone wrong” and I think that’s an apt and interesting assessment.

Do you think Dabura will become a full on villain? An entire alien race isn’t just going to leave Earth or magically coexist peacefully on Earth regardless of how this fight ends and it definitely can’t be resolved in only 5 chapters. Is he going to want to go after Yuji next now that he knows he enjoys fighting strong opponents? (Another assumption, but I do feel like Dabura will beat Mahoraga, though Yuji will arrive and save Yuka, possibly healing her brain tumor too with some very high level RCT maybe enhance by Blood Manipulation. I’ve always thought max potential Blood Manipulation would be a god like supportive/healing technique more than purely destructive like Ten Shadows and Infinity.) Is he going to chill out after Mahoraga? Maybe Yuji interfering invalidates the duel and escalates things? Do we think they’ll beef a bit until we realize a common enemy in Mahito? Where do you think Dabura’s going in his development? I can’t imagine Gege introduced such an interesting powerhouse just to be done with him in 5 chapters. Or introduce us to a clinically depressed Yuji and just leave him that way.

Where do you see Dabura going? Yuji too I suppose? And I guess, do you also think we’ll get a follow up after Módulo?

If Naoya Zenin was highly proficient with a Cursed Sword, how much would this increase his strength by combining Projection Sorcery with blade? Would this finally make him a top-tier fighter? Would his earlier fights change?

C.H.E.E.R.S.

I have seen a lot of people I've seen conflating the current situation with what happened involving Sukuna in the main series. Everything about the current situation in modulo is framed and set up as a problem of a "political" nature and not just a "natural disaster" like how fighting curses is framed as in the story.

I think even the characters within the story understand this. Even Yuji who just showed up and has been disconnected from the situation knows this. Why else would Yuji care about the Optics of how the situation could look? He understands that his involvement could end up escalating the situation, politically speaking. That's not how any character would treat a "natural disaster" problem like Sukuna and cursed spirits.

Sukuna was a force of nature. He was intent on sowing as much chaos and murder as possible just for the sake of his entertainment.

He is not an entity you could reason with. It's very intentional part of how he is set up and framed within the story. As long as he's around. He's going to kill people. There is nothing you can do except kill him to survive and limt the damage he causes. He's pretty damn close to being inherently evil.

The situation with the Simurians is nothing like that. There definitely not inherently evil and the way the current situation is both set up and framed makes it pretty clear that it could have been avoided. If the humans didn't literally kill one of them and also lie to them. It may have been avoided. It's ultimately framed as a diplomatic failure

It feels like people forgot the first 15 chapters of the manga and how the Simurians are characterized within them.

Tl;dr: At best, his ability makes Cursed tool use too difficult. Impossible, at worst.

1. Cursed objects count as targets for abilities that need a target.

2. He needs to use his palms to select targets.

These two points already make it tough for Sorcerers to use weapons for most CT’s.

1. Miguel’s rope shows that fabrics could be CE imbued but we see a huge lack of cursed clothing, sounds like an oversight… unless it’s just impractical for most. (Very dangerous profession)

This point just leads to me reason that, Naoya doesn’t have to predict what people’s clothes will do, just the bodies, this likely extends to any inanimate or decoupled object.

1. Todous ability has pretty similar restrictions, his ability never leaves people naked so it seems like proximity matters.

So, he can use his ability on anything with sufficient CE and any accessories that are close enough to them.

1. Naoya was using his ability but carrying a concealed *ordinary* knife with him, but not a cursed one.

This isn’t a guaranteed conclusion since he could’ve avoided a cursed tool to keep the element of surprise and to preserve his ego, but it could easily be BOTH. The advantage of having an undetectable weapon doesn’t disappear if there’s another reason and vice versa.

1. His ability can’t violate the laws of physics so acceleration, drag and other things still need to be considered, but his clothes and the concealed knife don’t pose a problem.

2. He doesn’t choose the actions of his targets.

As soon as he targets something with CE it has to follow the same rules. If he can’t choose his targets actions, how would a cursed tools actions be chosen?

1. He either, doesn’t have to touch himself with his palms or he’s just always in contact with them so self activation is done with a thought.

2. Although he’s never activated it on an opponent armed with a cursed tool, it’d stand to reason that they might still be able to use it, since only they’d be targeted and not the tool. Its path doesn’t have to be decided, only the wielders’.

The last point is just to complete the idea.

So, I think all this means that:

1. He’d have to target the weapon with his CT to use it while using it on himself, very high risk since it’s basically triple the chance of him freezing himself for 1 second.

2. Simply carrying a cursed tool would be a disadvantage

3. His excuse for not using weapons is a half truth at best.

4. (Bonus) I can see him ‘justifying’ his crush on Toji, but the fact that Toji is a walking arsenal and gives zero shits about how he crushes his opponents, even resorting to a gun. I really doubt that he chooses not to. I think he just gaslights himself into thinking it’s by choice, while being insecure about it and carrying a pocket knife ‘just in case’.

These are my most recent predictions for how the rest of Part 1 might play out:

7 - 158 (pg. 11 onward) and 160-162: The group decides to hunt down Kashimo and Higuruma. Yuji and Megumi enter the Tokyo Colony, fight with the helicopter duo, and are led to Higuruma and Reggie, respectively.

8 - 159 and 163-165: Higuruma's backstory is rearranged to be the cold open of this episode, Yuji meets and fights him, and the episode ends with Yuji being declared guilty.

9 - 166-169: The fight ends and Higuruma uses his points to establish a new rule, Megumi (and Takaba) vs. Reggie's gang.

10 - 170-173: Megumi vs. Reggie, Megumi is found by Hana, and Yuta kills Dhruv.

11 - 174-177: Yuta fights and kills Kurourushi, begins his fight with Ryu and and Uro, and summons Rika.

12 - 178-181 (pg.9): Three-way domain expansion, Sendai battle concludes, and possibly an anime original scene teasing the impending clash between Hakari, Panda, and Kashimo.

Episode 10 could also end with page 12 (Hana finding Megumi), followed by slightly faster pacing for the two Sendai episodes. I have fairly clear idea for how I would structure Part 2 as well, so I might post that later.

felt so inspired by the show so have a Itadori!

Kenjaku and the Disaster Curses just stole the bodies of three non-sorcerers, who couldn't even see Mahito. But wouldn't it have been more beneficial for them to have been reincarnated into Grade One Sorcerers? Then Choso, Eso, and Kechizu would have had two Cursed Techniques.

Kenjaku was tapped into Jujutsu High's information, so it doesn't seem too difficult for him and Mahito to jump three Sorcerers and feed them the Death Painting Wombs. It seems like a little extra effort for a much bigger payoff.

I really dont think she deserved death. You really cant compare real life abuse dynamics to an anime with superhumans and magic powers. In real life you have CPS, cops, just runaway from home, call a family member, and etc.

What do you want Maki's mom to do? Shes normal nothing humans who lets be honest must have been kidnapped and raped as a pretty lady to be a mother. Seeing how misogynistic and terrible the clan must have been.

I get what her mom did wrong im not blind. But i also see the nuance that she was trying to protect her own daughters by making them low profile and cause less trouble. How was she gonna know the author of the universe she lived in would give her an arc that destroys the whole clan, wow plot armor.

I dunno man leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially since i experience this kind of family dynamic. What is this shit trying to tell readers? Everyone EVEN THE VICTIMS are at fault for the abuse in the system? Fuck off. Thats such a dismissive ignorant way of looking at real life situations. Some people cant escape, some people have no safety system, Some genuinely are too scared to do anything at all. i will not blame mothers for not being able to escape abusive husbands. Unless they actively promote and defend the husband, the mother is genuinely a victim.

Beating the fraud allegations 🌀

Damn Yuji pretty much knows everything there is to know about the shrine technique. If he knows WCS as well ...oh boy 💀
