Don't know anything about them confirming it but I do remember two cours being confirmed and hidden inventory + the mini arc in between sure as hell isn't enough to take both of them.

There's also not really a point to adapting Shibuya if you don't adapt all of it, it's not an arc with a good stopping point.

Welp, I just watched this video of a bunch of funny clips from the dub:

And y'know what, fuck it, I might as well get Crunchyroll and watch the anime. I've been feeling kind of "eh" about the manga but this is making me laugh my ass off.

(Also seriously the guy who dubs Gojo is so fucking amazing)

[up][up] It has been confirmed that it will also cover the Shibuya arc.

The timing fits perfectly, Gojo's past arc can very well be condensed into 2 or three episodes, and Shibuya in the end is almost all fights.

New Chapter is out:

    Thoughts 
Yorozu is triggering my insect fear, so I was more than glad to see that armor of hers get broken.

Sukuna reveals two of the three unknown Shikigami: Round Deer and Piercing Ox. So we still have one Shikigami unknown. As for abilities:
  • Round Deer: Healing Factor via Cursed Technique Reversal
  • Piercing Ox: Charge in straight line, longer charge equals harder attack.
And Sukuna has demonstrated use of Max Elephant and Rabbit Escape. So with Orochi dead, that means the only ones he's yet to use are Gama, Mahoraga, and the unknown tenth.

Assuming Megumi ever gets control back of his body he should thank Sukuna for taming more shikigami and showing him how to do all this cool stuff. Well, I guess that assumes he could perform on the same level which, yeah.

Man the deer sure looks super bloody useful, I guess it and the bull were similarly too much for Megumi but I dunno, feels like he could've taken them.

I just assumed Megumi had already tamed every shikigami except Mahoraga and simply hadn't had cause to bring them out before now.

#3111: Apr 2nd 2023 at 3:10:30 PM

I don't see why that would be the case, especially with the deer, because that would be so useful in too many situations to not have been brought up.

Yeah I’m pretty sure Megumi said he hasn’t tamed all the shikigami yet. Man, I love his CT. Would love a whole series based on it.

I don't see any reason why Megumi wouldn't have already gotten everything it's possible for him to get, especially since the Deer isn't offensively oriented.

[up] Megumi only tamed Rabbit Escape in the period before Shibuya. Despite the strength of his technique, his physical and mental strength had a long way to go until partway through the series. He's also been...busy...for a lot of the last year. I think it makes sense that he wouldn't have tamed them all.

Hilarious that Yorozu's motivation is "I can fix him".

If Madoka's power is applying Reversed Cursed Techniques, then that means it should be good for 1) disrupting other techniques as we saw in this chapter 2) a direct counter against cursed spirits as seen with Okkotsu vs Kurorushi, and most importantly 3) healing himself and others.

The idea that Megumi has had access to all of that and just never saw a reason to use it strains credibility and makes him look like a dumbass far more than just going "he hadn't tamed it yet".

Based on what we saw, there's a good possibility that Madoka could negate the other shikigami, making it particularly tough for Megumi to tame.

[up][up] We also don't know that Megumi has full knowledge of all his untamed Shikigami. I believe it's been either decades or centuries since another Ten Shadows user was around. He also didn't grow up with his family, meaning that even if they did have perfect records of the last user, he may not have had access to them.

Also: I feel like this is good evidence that people simply overrate Megumi. The series consistently paints him as a loser with a lot of potential who is a long way from developing the skills he needs to unlock his full power.

I imagine Megumi knows because that's almost certainly how Sukuna knows - incarnating gives them all the vessel's knowledge. But just having information on something, and people able to actually put it into practice are very different things.

It probably just comes down to the gap in their level as sorcerers.

It's also possible Sukuna saw all 10 shadows being used by the Zen'in ancestor of his own lifetime.

Also, now I'm wondering if Yorozu is of some very distant relation to the Zenin's since she has the same Cursed Technique as Mai. Unless unrelated people can just develop the same technique.

#3122: Apr 3rd 2023 at 3:29:13 PM

Question: Was it confirmed that all techniques are either hereditary or imprinted, or did Gojou's speech leave room for other possibilities?

Because if there are no other ways to obtain techniques, [leak discussion] I'm betting Yorozu was a Zenin. Her technique is the same as Mai's, she's just stronger.

Gojou's explanation of technique acquisition could confirm this.

Although the Fujiwara clan has been positioned as the Zen'ins' enemy, so the reveal that they adopted her could complicate that theory.

Well, I've done it. I am *FINALLY* caught up on the manga.

So, my overall thoughts: it's pretty good, though I think the post-Shibuya stuff is a bit weaker and spottier in terms of writing. It really feels like something is missing with several characters removed from the story, and there's definitely a feeling of same-ness for some of the action. It's gotten a bit repetitive with the various colony battles, I dunno. There's some genuinely good fights but that's kind of it.

Beyond that...so I'm aware there was a mega controversial thing that happened with one female character dying. It wasn't Tsukumo, was it? Cuz I kinda liked her fight against Kenjaku. If it was Hana, well...it feels mega dumb to kill her off out of nowhere after they'd built up all this hype for her being this big important player they needed to seek out, plus making her a parallel to Sukuna. Bluh.

...mind, I genuinely don't know if I can count either of them out as dead yet.

It's Yuki, though Hana's handling also got on people's nerves. Whether or not the whole thing feels worth it is highly dependent on whether the comment on her being a star platinum vessel will amount to anything but as things are after a of earlier tease Yuki proceeds to lose in the very first on screen fight she ever has and lose in such a spectacular fashion against a never before mentioned convenient complete counter after even the person she was fighting seemed wary of her. Reminds people too much of stars and stripes in MHA though Yuki at least didn't appear out of thin air to do this
