Jujutsu Kaisen

God, you weren't kidding. I hope Itadori murders them all.

The problem is Yuji is intact with Sukuna so I'm not sure about that. Still, poor Junpei though especially I feel bad for the poor guy since Chapter 25.

Today's chapter in JJK:

Itadori went berserk after the previous event in Chapter 27 and refuses to switch with Sukuna. Fortunately, the stoic badass salesman, Nanamin here is to the resuce.

Also, I noticed that the translation is a lot faster for now. So far the raw of the manga reaches Chapter 29 so yeah...

Chapter 29 is out:

More fight against Mahito the curse. I hope Yuuji can win this battle and it seems that Mahito will use the Territorial Expanison.

And man, I really need to update the page posthaste but maybe at a later time.

Chapter 30:

Today's chapter is about the flashbacks of our favorite Salesman, Nanamin, when he got sealed in the Territorial Expansion of Mahito. Seems that he only interested about two things: Money and bakery that sold his favorite food. Although he does help someone who got plagued by curses. And man that ending though. Seems that Sukuna betrays Mahito in the end after Yuuji enter his territorial expansion and only cares about Fushiguro in general.

Alright, new chapter out... Chapter 31:

Seems that Yuji and co almost defeated Mahito but the latter managed to escape. And man, this chapter went into philosophical mode about proper death and then there's the no one is benevolent or evil philosophical line thrown into the mix. Also, seems that the people who hurt Junpei learned their lesson so yeah...

I've been thinking about something...

So, some user in JJK Discord server made an interesting comparison with D. Gray Man. And here are the reasons why:
Both have organization that is build to fight against Curse or demon or monster with different branch with people with special power or just normal human helping each other fight (In case of JJK, it's the shamans but for D-Gray Man, it's Black Order)
Both main character uses their fist to fight. Allen's crown clown make his left hand turn into a claw or gun or sword while yuuji uses his fist with Ryomen Sukuna.
Both main character have the villain in their body. Allen is the 14th noah and Yuuji have Sukuna in him.
Both main character 'rival' are black emo japanese guy with power that's different from most people
And lastly, both mentor are lazy people who teach the main character in a different way

Yeah, the comparison with D-Gray Man are strong in this one and I could call it the modern day version of D-Gay Man or a Spiritual Successor of it rather than Bleach.

Oh! I almost forgot this:

The PV of Jujutsu Kaisen

Keep in mind that iirc, there are 3 P Vs and surprisingly, Gojou is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura, who is the voice of Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tail, instead of Kenyu Horiuchi (Which I think is a great VA for Gojou). But even then, Yuichi is decent at voicing Gojou and seems have fun with it so I cant blame em.

Special thanks on @Lyendith regarding this:

Some numbers from the latest Oricon sales ranking (from December 3 to December 9):

• No. 1 is One Piece vol. 91, which sold 1,510,524 copies (the no. 2 Attack on Titan vol. 27 sold 500k for comparison)
• No. 3 is My Hero Academia vol. 21 with 389,393 copies
• No. 4 is Haikyuu vol. 35 with 367,896 copies
• No. 6 is World Trigger vol. 19 with 238,990 copies
• No. 7 is Food Wars vol. 32 with 161,174 copies
• No. 13 is Jujutsu Kaisen vol. 3 with 83,100 copies
• No. 14 is We Never Learn vol. 9 with 72,305 copies
• No. 15 is… Jujutsu Kaisen vol. 0 with 70,774 copies
• No. 19 is Dr. Stone vol. 8 with 59,929 copies
• No. 20 is Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san vol. 13 with 53,159 copies

I'm actually surprised that JJK sold pretty well. Better than Yuragi Sou than Dr. Stone which is rather nice! Also, on another note, VIZ will also try to translate JJK but only for the latest chapters... Apparently they will get there too.

Alright...

apparently a new chapter has released in VIZ. But its only Chapter 40 as for now as apparently they will go into previous chapters soon. So if you want to read those, go ahead. But if you want to avoid spoilers... Yea.

A very late reply but apparently instead of Jamini's Box, someone else translate the manga for us and I think it was from Mangastream. I'll do my thoughts on the new chapters later on and apparently there are two or three chapters that are being released right now.

Catching up... So expected it will be a separate posts given new chapters overall:

Chapter 32:

Well, a lot of Lighthearted moments happen in this chapter. Despite being a depraved bastard, Mahito seems have a genuine relationship with other curses such as Jougou and Getou and they are in hot springs right now. Oh! And more Gojou moments regarding him joking with Nanamin ans Yuuji and right now we are introduced with the students from Kyoto who came into Tokyo and man, Nobara's reaction regarding wrong places is kind of funny after she brought a luggage. Also, like Panda, it seems that Kyoto students also have a guy that is not human named Ultimate Mekamaru and girl who looks like a witch Nishimiya Momo (I almost though it was Minky Momo). That and they have a bit of a serious female teacher who is probably Gojou's counterpoint. And the last pages is about the surprise regarding Yuuji still alive but his friends didnt get surprised at all XD

Tl;dr Overall a funny chapter

oh shit! It currently updated into chapter 36... Brb, gotta do some catching up haha...

Chapter 33:

Ooooh it seems that the tournament between Tokyo and Kyoto school regarding exorcism is starting and so thats why Inumaki limited his vocabulary... Because of the spellcaster power that he had. In the meantime, the Kyoto school plan to murder Yuuji because he is a host for Sukuna after all... Oof. And seems that Toudou disapproves it. Cant wait for the next chapter.

Chapter 34:

Today's chapter... Is about Yuuji's battle against Toudou and man... Toudou is a bit OP haha and the Tokyo School planned this because why not

Chapter 35:

LMAO that first pages of the chapter regarding the relationship between Yuji and Todou which is only an imagination but ended up happening in real life Plays Rooney song I Should Have Been After You.

Also, man, seems that the Kyoto students tries to murder Yuuji which makes Toudou pissed off. And yeah, have to admit that Toudou is pretty entertaining as a character.

Now then, catched the latest chapter:

Chapter 36:

Toudou... Is a bit of an interesting character tbh. He fights with Yuji just because he wants to test his power and still calls him his best friend. And in the meantime, the Tokyo Students know what the fuck the Kyoto Students are doing and tries to stop them and meanwhile, Maki has an interesting relationship with one of the students from Kyoto Side who is revealed to be a samurai

Now I cant wait for the next chapters to be translated. Its at Chapter 40 rn in Japan so yeah...

Two things to say:

First of all, I think this is the popularity poll:

https://twitter.com/jujutsu_PR/status/1076625438196125696

Of all the characters, Goujou easily wins.

Also, new chapter is out, Chapter 37:

Some infos regarding the curse power that can be transmitted from the whole body and man that Jojo's pose from Toudou was a delight to see!!! Also, Panda and Nobara vs Witch and Pepper kun haha

edit: nevermind

@Lyendith What is it mate?

New chapter is out

Chapter 38:

Today's chapter, is about the fight with Panda and Pepper-kun. So it was revealed that there's something more to them: Pepper-kun was controlled by a certain shaman that has a huge disability and I can say that I pitied him and Panda is actually a cursed corpse revived by the Principal. That's actually pretty interesting and makes sense on why Panda changed himself into a gorilla form so yeah...

Three new chapters are out and I'll catch them one by one but first.

Chapter 39:

Seems that the Principal had a huge soft side in the past especially with Panda and it was revealed that in his inner body, Panda has two powers that accompany him that ended up becoming his siblings, his brother is the gorilla form and the sister is the shy one. Also, some insight regarding Mekamaru's past about his friends and Panda and Mekamaru ended their battle by exchanging their phone number XD in the meantime, Maki still fighting against the samurai girl

Chapter 40:

Maki is great at fighting... Its no surprising on why Mai has some envy towards her. In the meantime, we are introduced to a new character who is only interested in money, Mei Mei. Also, Nobara now fight against the witch and is pissed that her face is scarred by said witch

Edited by ElfenLiedFan90 on Dec 29th 2018 at 12:19:28 AM

Chapter 41:

Nobara is strong despite the witch taunted her and seems that the witch is scared of Inumaki. But even then, goddamn that Nobara was stopped by Mai with her rubber gun but all in all seems that Mai's sister will face against her in later future.

A pretty fun fact regarding Nanamin's character:

https://mobile.twitter.com/ReadySteady20/status/1081037588524232705?s=19

Based on twitter link, He's 27 years old, his grandfather on mother side is Danish, No Jujutsu Sorcerers on the family line, Loves bread and is a foodie (which makes sense) and is about 1.84 m (6 ft) tall. So yeah. And seems that the link doesnt work but oh well
