Jujutsu Kaisen

I did once see this cool fan-art of Nobara being possessed by Sukuna.

Rule 34'ing characters has nothing to do with the plot, and everything to do with character appeal.

Holy shit Crunchyroll just immediately uploaded this.

Goddamn is Yuji and Toudou's relationship so pure. They've only known each for like 5 minutes and they are already completely in synch.

Crunchyroll sadly mistranslated how Black Flash works and how impressive it can be. It's not an attack that is 2.5 times more powerful. It's an attack that's more powerful to the power of 2.5.

Thats actually even stronger, I believe.

2.5 times would be stronger, but the power of 2.5 is greater then just normal multiplication.

2 x 2.5 would be 5, but 2 to the 2.5 power would be rounded up to 6, for instance.

it gets exponentially stronger the stronger you get

because it is literally an exponential

Correct lets say Yuji's attack was a 12 if it was times 2.5 that would make it a 30. But to the power of 2.5 would be 498.

Like the only reason this stuff is not used at all times is because it's basically luck based.

Its kinda similar to the Kugi Punch from Toriko, actually.

so I guess Naoya uses a similar curse to his dad?

Looks like it. And did not expect Yuta to already find Yuji.

Baby boy looks depressed, what the hell happened to him????

Didn’t expect things to go down this quick, but I’m not complaining.

You know panda bringing up "what do you have power that does that" does make me wonder if it really is just case of him being everyone's brother

Man it’s scary how we don’t know how anyone else is doing yet.

It really says something that people's impressions of Yuuta is "like Gojo, but way creepier". Something's not right with the guy, that's for sure.

Didn't like the way Boogie Woogie was shown in the anime, the impact frames were cool but the white light flashing got annoying after the second time. I think they should have done it like it was in the OP-a small burst of cursed energy with the characters swapping. Feels like that was already enough and they went overboard. The show still has the same problems with it's compositing and constant narration but the fights are still really cool (Did I see a Sunghoo Park scene in there? I really like his style)

The baseball episode is next (insert happy dance meme here) which means we are getting to (at least the beginning) of the Cursed Womb Arc . How long was it? 12 or so chapters? I at least hope to see Choso, probably my favorite character design of the manga.

Isn't the Curse Womb arc the second arc of the series? The one following the Kyoto Goodwill is the Death Painting arc? or Origin of Obedience arc? I really don't know how to call it.

Also I heard there's an official fanbook out there? I need to get my hands on it. Or at least the info it provides.

You're right, I mixed it up. It is the Death Painting arc next then Origin of Obedience to Shibuya to whatever we are now.

I think some people are translating it on twitter, this is one ongoing one I found:

x3 the white frames between boogie Woogie definitely hurt the action and messed up the already kind of slow flow of the fight. I also had similar issues to how purple was conveyed (I felt it would have been better to have made it an instantaneous frame of destruction than making it almost feel slow, though the build up was good).

There have honestly been bits and pieces of the anime I've been disatisfied with post intro arc, some fights have clunky flow, some music choices are ill fitting and I've been mixed on the voice direction for Toge (I feel cursed words should have come with a more twisted audio to give more impact) and Hanami to a lesser extent (meh on the them using a female VA, but that's more a personal bias)

The anime as a whole is still great, and the girls battle episode was perfect from start to finish, but a bit inconsistent

Yeah, I think the cuts between Boogie Woogie swaps should have been quicker. Still a very nice fight though.

Kinda glad they didn’t twist the audio too much on Toge’s cursed speech, always found that sorta thing a bit funny.

So Gege Akutami just did an interview and mentioned some very interesting things and huge spoilers, thread here of the translations. But one thing of note is that Jujutsu Kaisen is over halfway done and he plans on ending the series within 2 years.

Mixed feelings about it, love Jujutsu Kaisen and would love for it to last long but I think it's for the best that the story stays fresh and doesn't drag out.

Shibuya has a very halfway feeling

I'm not very into authors spoiling their story in interviews but I'm too curious.

The pace of the manga does make it seem like was not going to be a long series. Kind of like the original Chainsawman.

After reading that interview I'm convinced that Gege sustains himself via the fandom's salt and tears. Kimetsu would also maim the characters I love, but at least Wani also seemed saddened by it!

I now am even more curious about wtf is up with the false memories. Especially since he mentioned that when he shows Yuji's parents its gonna involve Kamo and Geto.
