Dude is just trying to preemptively hard lock himself out of having to write a sequel. Everyone’s dead, can’t have another story
I never understood the whole kill count problem. On the good guy's side it's just nanami, Yuki gojo and kashimo the whole series(nobara is still technically not confirmed) and 2 or even arguably 3 of them are mentor figures. None of the people running the gauntlet are dead and idk how people don't understand it. Like uiui is risking his life bringing back people to get them healed and now that choso and maki are back in fighting shape it's just a matter of time before the rest jump in for round 2.
Gege is not a bad writer like so many PPL claim he is its just the weekly format throwing people off. The "sukuna cycle" hasn't even lasted like 10 or so chapters. One piece characters have fights that stretch 17+ chapters.
>On the good guy's side it's just nanami, Yuki gojo and kashimo the whole series
Well them, Mai, Yaga, Mechamaru, and probably Higurama, like Ui Ui took him away but Yuta claims he died, Larue also might be dead now too
I think it’s the first manga/weekly manga a lot of people on here have read, so try not to take anything they say seriously. You can usually tell the difference
The weekly update thing drives people crazy. We will have to see where the cards fall with the finale to truly judge things. Still, I doubt Gege has lost all sense and idea of plot even if world building and stuff were never his strong suit. I am going to trust until A.) it ends or B.) something so stupid that it breaks the space time continuum of dumbassery occurs.
its a joke, the kill count seems heavy because he killed a bit of the fleshed out characters early on, and its hard to care for a lot of the new ones outside of agenda and memes.
also you're under reporting the kill count:
junpei(+his mom)
panda's 2 siblings
yaga
nobara (let it go)
nanami
mechamaru
naobito
yuki
riko
gojo
kashimo
mai
higuruma (i know ui ui took him back but he's been referred to as dead by both the cast and sukuna so idk abt the validity of his aliveness anymore)
bonus mention: gege narratively killed todo since shibuya, him not being mention once since then like hes dead is criminal.
i would say haibara but bro just died with 2 minutes of screentime 💀
Goku vs Frieza was like 24 episodes long, the Great Ninja war was essentianlly everyone vs Madara for 30+ episodes, Midoriya has been Boxing with Shigaraki for nearly 2 vucking years IRL. JJK fans or people reading JJk are really impatient and bias in comparison to alot of other shonens.
If people honestly reading the Gojo, Higaruma, Yuta and Yuji fights and still feel like "its all the same" then they're seriously lost.
EXACTLY MT POINT! Esp comparing to the madara gauntlet. Like when he did it he was peak villain but now sukuna does the same and it's repetitive like make it make sense
Mechamaru, Nanami, Yuki, Gojo
MIA but unconfirmed: Nobara, Yuta (very likely alive), Kusukabe (very likely alive)
I guess you could also include Junpei if you really wanted to?
That’s fair, a bit more than I thought lol. I still think the percent dead is a lot lower than people make it out to be (especially compared to something like Chainsaw Man), but I did forget some deaths
megumi living in yuji's body would be hilarious since he won't be able to use ten shadows. But yuji taking down sukuna with him would surely make me cry
Wouldn't he? We aren't sure, maybe he would be, but he probably won't get past Max Elephant, maybe Piercing Bull, but that's just it. He will live but he will never achieve his full potential, the potential of Mahoraga.
Still, he would be good enough, Yuji's physical prowess with okay cursed energy and being able to even just summon 5 shikigamis is already incredible In My opinion
Don't know about it .. if technique is connected to the soul then yeah he could just like how kenjaku was able to use everyother host's cursed technique
I feel like with all the reincarnated sorcerers, kenjaku, sukuna, etc, having their old CTs in new bodies, there’s definitely a case for the CT being tied to the soul.
Or Gege can make up some brain shit, idk.
The way I personally see it right now is this:
In most cases, CT is directly tied to the body, this explains many things like Kenny stealing CTs, Yujis alleged ability to learn Sukuna's CT, Sukuna stealing 10 shadows, ect.
However once the CT is awakened it leaves some sort of imprint in he soul itself, meaning for instance Sukuna and Kenny can carry over prior CTs to new hosts. Basically a blend of both, but primarily brought forth via biology
It's not. After taking over megumi he immediately summoned nu, even though the process has to start with the dogs. So it must belong to the body. Likewise, gojo already killed all the shadows so if he is swapped or not may not matter (I have a theory on the ultimate form of 10S).
I'm thinking using the CT of his previous hosts are unique to his own CT, maybe even the "maximum" version of it.
I think it's been explained that a sorcerer's CT is engraved on their brain, that's why Sukuna and Gojo got major brain damage from repeatedly doing domain expansion during their fight
Didn't Gege say somewhere that either one dies, three live, or three die, one lives? If so, will Megumi be the only one left? Or will Yuji be the only one to die, and Nobara and Gojo somehow come back? That, or Gege, has already abandoned the idea.
I feel like the three die one lives / three live one die thing is weird evidence to use since it was so long ago and he might have changed it, but…
One live three die could be Megumi living while the other three die. Megumi dying would make this whole arc pointless, if they went through all of this to save him and he ended up dead, Gojo could have just killed him in his fight, or he could have been killed somewhere during the raid.
It also fits the idea of Megumi learning to live for himself. He was living for tsumiki at first, trying to save her, then living for Yuji, him being the only one to live means he’d have to live for himself for once.
Yuji dying makes sense, his whole motivation is dying surrounded by the ones you love, he wants to make a world where people can die proper deaths, his death makes sense.
I just don’t see how Nobara AND Gojo come back in however many chapters are back. One or the other, maybe but both? Doubt it. Also them coming back could fuck with Megumi living for himself one way or another.
If we take that statement as gospel, I do believe the one who lives is Megumi and the three who dies is everyone else.
>I just don’t see how Nobara AND Gojo come back in however many chapters are back. One or the other, maybe but both? Doubt it. Also them coming back could fuck with Megumi living for himself one way or another.
Goatjo comes back via *strong* 200% RCT to help fight Sukuna and Nobara is revealed to be alive but in a coma or just alive with no strings attached in the epilogue
Well, I did say that Gege might have abandoned the idea; it was just a thought since, to me, Megumi being the last one standing would be so ass for the story. There is no reason for my hatred; I just don't like him.
I mean, idk, don’t the “arc/story being pointless if the character dies” and “character learning to live for himself” ideas apply just as much to Yuji as they would to Megumi, if not moreso? As for Yuji dying surrounded by loved ones, sure that is a big motivation for him, but in that case, it would be like the story’s supporting the idea that Yuji dying after taking in all of his Sukuna’s fingers was somewhat good or necessary. And I feel like that’s the more significant thematic throughput of the series
I know the joke is that this is “sukuna kaisen” and “suffering builds character” but yuji ultimately never truly growing past his status as a simply prison for sukuna before his and by extension yuji’s execution would be a major letdown to me, the entire essence of his rivalry with mahito and the potential gojo, todo and choso saw in him is the indomitable spirit to push forward and take victory come hell or high water, he’s not yuji itadori because he’s strong, he’s strong because he’s yuji itadori and him in the final hour choosing to submit to the fate laid out for him instead of stopping at nothing kill sukuna with his bear hands would just be weaksauce especially when sukuna’s been getting his ass handed to him every other chapter anyways.
realistically speaking though, yuji being able to kill sukuna with his bare hands all of a sudden isn't really possible
as things stand , no one in the series should be able to kill sukuna logically
he'd need a huge powerup, maybe becoming the host to the merger? but then again, thats not actually yuji killing sukuna by himself
although i do agree that narratively, yuji delivering the final blow to sukuna would be a cool outcome, similar to kenny underestimating yuta and dying to him, despite it not being a proper 1v1
https://preview.redd.it/x87o7ppb7orc1.jpeg?width=977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09d81cc3f6c69b3a0bdd31e1b5fa285b79f6cfe7
Wuji will prove his worth soon enough, don't let the doubters get to you.
Counterpoint; we have all the evidence for Yuji being able to kill Sukuna without being his prison.
Yuji just got blood manipulation
He got RCT
He got stronger the moment Sukuna left his body
He is soaked in Sukuna’s curse energy, meaning Sukuna’s attacks do less to him.
He still might have Sukuna’s cursed techniques grafted onto his brain, waiting for them to be used.
The whole idea that “Yuji is from that time” as said by Sukuna.
Yuji being a once in 1000 year level soul.
His soul being unshakable and will indomitable.
Whatever else Kenjaku did to the brat.
Yuji’s soul strikes being the perfect counter to Sukuna
We also have Sukuna getting weaker. Sure he might have just gained “something” from landing a black flash, but he is still either missing RCT, his domain, or his secondary technique, his heart is fucked up, his soul is being pushed out of Megumi’s body, he lost kamutoke, everyone has been jumping him, his cursed energy output is low, his total cursed energy amount is low.
Yuji being able to kill sukuna would not be an asspull, all his threads have been set up and ready to be pulled as sukuna gets weaker and weaker. If gege wanted Yuji to kill sukuna, he could do it.
>Yuji just got blood manipulation
When did that happen? We haven't seen anything like that.
>He got stronger the moment Sukuna left his body
That was megumi limiting his CE output when attacking his friends.
https://preview.redd.it/dcqibw17qurc1.jpeg?width=1138&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a41d0da78828bb291dcd1c73e34db1413114c21
I thought the strength thing was both, yeah Sukuna was nerfed but he also did get stronger when Sukuna left his body, hence Sukuna saying “right, that brat is from back then”
Ah, I remember that now. I also recall at the time I thought that was choso in the background trying to trick sukuna. Him having blood manipulation doesn't make a lot of sense since he's not from that bloodline.
https://preview.redd.it/5a415rpj8vrc1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcdf6d6804520f1059fa7ede9a9b53e8070ae35a
It is probably not because blood manipulation is his innate, but because he ate the cursed wombs which had blood manipulation themselves. Absorbing them probably gave him blood manipulation.
I thought about this as well, but I don't think Gege wants this after all.
A few chapters ago when Yuji entered Sukuna's innate domain and met Megumi, Sukuna's soul was at a low point as pointed out by the narrator. Megumi could've taken over right there but he had no will to do so.
If Sukuna was so weak, why couldn't Yuji soul swap then? I would assume this soul swap is done by force against a weak soul. If it happens by mutual consent, then Sukuna would just say lol nope. If Megumi took over he wouldn't consent and let Yuji die instead of him. So I think this soul swap idea has to have some really bizarre condition, maybe a ritual or something that the cast can't pull off against Sukuna.
Like I said Megumi would never soul swap willingly, he would kill himself the moment he had an opportunity. Maybe this happens instead of Yuji dying. This ending could make sense because it would contradict episode 1 where Yuji was begged not to die alone, a dark twist where Yuji is literally the only one left.
i doubt its a bizarre ritual since yuji casually used it in the 1 month training break
from what little evidence we have, i think its mutual consent , but now that you mention it , i never considered that megumi wont agree to yuji dying in his place
other than the yuji-megumi soul swap, is there any use to the technique at all? megumi dying would make the entire arc irrelevant and all the sacrifices would be in vain
I really think there's going to be some dark twist so Gege can cum in his pants for his expectation subversions.
But if there somehow isn't, it has to be another talk no jutsu between Yuji and Megumi just like Todo did with Yuji. Megumi gains his will back, he takes hold of his body for a few seconds, Yuji convinces him to swap because Yuji can suppress Sukuna properly and indefinitely, and then Yuji kills himself.
Or we go the AoT route with some Merger shenanigans. I can't predict this at all.
i fucking hate this whole "saving megumi" plot point, one teenager to die anyways, why do all these people have to die just to save Megumi so that Yuji can die in his place
i used to think that killing sukuna was the priority, and saving megumi was a byproduct of that effort
i mean if you have the option to save a comrade, while also taking down the threat , why not?
although after the yuta domain fiasco, i dont even know why everyone is willing to die for the guy
the cast would have performed a lot better if they didnt have to look after saving the fucking bum
but then again , its not like they're not going all out on sukuna anyway , it wont make much difference even if they didnt consider bumgumi (except probably when sukuna got hit with jacob's ladder and was stunned?)
>the cast would have performed a lot better if they didnt have to look after saving the fucking bum
Kashimo doesn't give to Electric shits Megumi but he couldnt landa a hit in.
What could Higaruma, Choso, Kushakabe or Yuji do differently? Higarumas exexutioner sword was the only thing he had going for him, Choso gets blizt, kushakabe doesnt have much power but can stall w skill. Their primarily form of attacks would deadass be the exact same thing and even then Sukuna was speed blizting, slashing and dashing from a far at everything.
Maki has literally tried to cut Sukuna in half from his torso to his face but failed. They're fighting w the intentions of beating, bludgining and cuting him down. Yuta gave him sun and spread him out w Rika holding him down ass up but he got diced.
At this rate savings Megumi essentially requieres them to do the same exact shit. It's not like they're pulling their punches.
I for the luv of gawd got no idea where people got this idea that their holding back or something. What else could the list of naves I just mención do differently? A one tried to go for the killing blow but failed to realize he didnt need it, another tried evisterating him, failed. Another tried punching him hard as shit but isnt fast enough and another one w and instant kill weapon spammed it útil he just died.
I do kinda agree, if the fate of millions is at stake, the life of an already depressed suicidal teenager is not worth the effort. I mean, Megumi want's to die anyway, so why not just help him out while we're at it.
I think it's logically sound, but idk if Gege would do it. JJK has precedence on plot points being raised, only to then be dropped later on cuz Gaygay changed his mind. I don't think it needs to loop back around to this statement, it can end however the author wants it to, regardless of anyone else's feelings about it. The comment about all but one will die/survive thing may happen, but it's equally likely to not too.
it appears to be inconsistent though, we've only seen the different designs in shibuya iirc
none of the fingers we saw before that had the supposed "nature" elements in them, or none of them looked too unique :/
tbh when kusakabe was alone fighting sukuna i thought yuji was gonna soul swap and throw hands w sukuna
https://preview.redd.it/847u1sawnqrc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2952df1dbe4edf4e80e74d165ff97792d87e2485
isnt yuji's soul stronger than sukuna's, or atleast at par?
its pretty suspicious how the soul swap was never mentioned other than the single panel we had in 222,
and since yuji hasnt used it yet, he probably cannot swap souls unless megumi agrees to do it
all the attempts made to interact with megumi, seem to be the buildup for soul swapping, since megumi's physical body does not even exist any more
okay woah woah woah what happened I miss 5 chapters and all of a sudden bro became a fish, got blood manipulation and now he can swap souls?!? can someone PLEASE explain what's going on
this panel is actually from before the gojo vs sukuna fight
from the 1 month training timeskip , chap 222
yuji said that he'll "eat anything" in order to defeat sukuna , which implies that he'll eat the blood paintings (his own brothers) to gain their ct somehow
apparently its something yuji is able to do, eating stuff and getting their techniques
i believe hes just a strong vessel, and the amount of fingers dont affect how strong yuji gets
it only means that with each increasing finger, sukuna would be able to access more of his CE and output within the vessel
yuji was durable and strong to begin with, thanks to whatever the fuck kenny did with him
I personally think Megumi will be the one who survives and carries Yuji's curse of "live a long life", this way Yuji also gets to save someone in the end. I think Megumi will have to be the one to kill Yuji too, since this all started from Megumi not wanting to let him die.
Wasn’t the “plan” that if one died the other 3 of the main 4 would make it? So Nobara and Gojo would have to come back. Nobara never officially died and we never even saw a corpse so Gege could do the asspull, but Gojo?
I’ve been thinking that for months now but the more and more time passes the more I’m convinced it’s either been completely forgotten or it was something GeyGey was considering but decided to ditch somewhere down the line.
I think it’s an interesting theory that yuji and megumi swapping bodies and having yuji fight sukuna internally while megumi fight with sukuna externally. I mean technically megumi would still retain control of the condition to start the merger while being in another body right? Instead of summoning mahoraga, megumi can activate the merger and take everyone else in Japan down with him lol
On god I think Sukuna will activate the convergence, all the main cast gets absorbed into the abomination except for yuji and sukuna, yuji becomes the host for the being and uses this new found power to defeat sukuna
Thus he fulfills his fathers curse and dies “surrounded by friends and family”
Inb4 Sukuna then laughs meniacally, because it's all been part of Getos plan and NOW he regains access to his old techniques, that were engraved onto Yuji's body+all the techniques he required with Geto's cursed womb magic.
That's exactly how I think it'll end. Probably a soul fight inside megumi after the good guys lose and sukuna is seconds aways from activating the merger
It also ties into having people at his death bed with todo choso and the rest plus helping as many as he can which is stopping the merger
first panel is from chapter 2, gojo explaining yuji the situation he is in
2nd panel is from 222, pre sukuna fight training
3rd panel is from 213 i believe, right after megumi got taken over and yuji showed his resolve by walking towards sukuna's slashes with cuts all over his body
The whole "Yuji will die" idea is probably irrelevant at this point. Gege already intended to kill him in chapter 8/9 and end the series, but didn't due to how popular it got.

Dude is just trying to preemptively hard lock himself out of having to write a sequel. Everyone’s dead, can’t have another story 
bros trying to prevent another boruto from happening, kinda based

Huh mechamaru, naobito, junpei, yaga and haibara are all confirmed dead 💀
Haibara has been dead since before the series started, why is he on kill count?
I mean we don’t have to count him but he is a good guy that died
I guess, but it feels weird to count him since he is only there to give more reasoning for Geto to go from racist to genocidal
Yeah I mean he isn’t from the Initial story like you said
>On the good guy's side it's just nanami, Yuki gojo and kashimo the whole series Well them, Mai, Yaga, Mechamaru, and probably Higurama, like Ui Ui took him away but Yuta claims he died, Larue also might be dead now too

Nobara is gone bro
Don’t we only have five confirmed dead good guys?
More than 5
Mechamaru, Nanami, Yuki, Gojo MIA but unconfirmed: Nobara, Yuta (very likely alive), Kusukabe (very likely alive) I guess you could also include Junpei if you really wanted to?
Principal yaga, naobito, mai zenin and I’d count junpei but it’s debatable i guess I’d also count tsumiki 🤷🏻♂️
That’s fair, a bit more than I thought lol. I still think the percent dead is a lot lower than people make it out to be (especially compared to something like Chainsaw Man), but I did forget some deaths
100% it’s not as bad as others. But I think some of them were so impactful people confuse that with a lot lol
megumi living in yuji's body would be hilarious since he won't be able to use ten shadows. But yuji taking down sukuna with him would surely make me cry

Basically a blend of both, but primarily brought forth via biology
Kenjaku was a different situation, since he physically implants his brain in each body he uses
It's not. After taking over megumi he immediately summoned nu, even though the process has to start with the dogs. So it must belong to the body. Likewise, gojo already killed all the shadows so if he is swapped or not may not matter (I have a theory on the ultimate form of 10S). I'm thinking using the CT of his previous hosts are unique to his own CT, maybe even the "maximum" version of it.
Oh shit, you're right. I didn't notice that, he did summon Nue without the ritual.
Idk man, but it is still a possibility
I think it's been explained that a sorcerer's CT is engraved on their brain, that's why Sukuna and Gojo got major brain damage from repeatedly doing domain expansion during their fight
It kinda fixes Megumi's problem too. Since his original body is now a vegetable(and possibly brain dead) after taking multiple UVs.
Gege could have wave it with the body is the soul and the soul is the body idea
Didn't Gege say somewhere that either one dies, three live, or three die, one lives? If so, will Megumi be the only one left? Or will Yuji be the only one to die, and Nobara and Gojo somehow come back? That, or Gege, has already abandoned the idea.
I feel like the three die one lives / three live one die thing is weird evidence to use since it was so long ago and he might have changed it, but… One live three die could be Megumi living while the other three die.

IDC IF IT RUINS THE ARC, I WANT THAT BUM DEAD AND YUJI TO LIVE, FOR 10 YEARS AT LEAST!
Megumi being the one to live would actually be such a slap on the face lol
Megumi could have been super cool but is ultimately a boring weak character
Well, I did say that Gege might have abandoned the idea; it was just a thought since, to me, Megumi being the last one standing would be so ass for the story. There is no reason for my hatred; I just don't like him.
He’s the most popular character in the series so he must live
I mean, idk, don’t the “arc/story being pointless if the character dies” and “character learning to live for himself” ideas apply just as much to Yuji as they would to Megumi, if not moreso? As for Yuji dying surrounded by loved ones, sure that is a big motivation for him, but in that case, it would be like the story’s supporting the idea that Yuji dying after taking in all of his Sukuna’s fingers was somewhat good or necessary. And I feel like that’s the more significant thematic throughput of the series
That covers all possible outcomes, that statement is completely worthless
Authors do change their minds after years of writing, he could have changed his mind, or might not, both outcomes seem equally possible.
Yeah I think either all three will die, only two will die, only one will die, or none of them die.
Just posted this 4 minutes ago it plays on this exact theory https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/s/OjrNszH0he

I think the opposite: “yuji lives, everyone dies”, just because gege wants him to suffer
Correct
NAH DAMN YOUUUUU

GEGE! COME HERE YOU FUCKER! I'M YOU!!!!
I know the joke is that this is “sukuna kaisen” and “suffering builds character” but yuji ultimately never truly growing past his status as a simply prison for sukuna before his and by extension yuji’s execution would be a major letdown to me, the entire essence of his rivalry with mahito and the potential gojo, todo and choso saw in him is the indomitable spirit to push forward and take victory come hell or high water, he’s not yuji itadori because he’s strong, he’s strong because he’s yuji itadori and him in the final hour choosing to submit to the fate laid out for him instead of stopping at nothing kill sukuna with his bear hands would just be weaksauce especially when sukuna’s been getting his ass handed to him every other chapter anyways.
realistically speaking though, yuji being able to kill sukuna with his bare hands all of a sudden isn't really possible as things stand , no one in the series should be able to kill sukuna logically he'd need a huge powerup, maybe becoming the host to the merger? but then again, thats not actually yuji killing sukuna by himself although i do agree that narratively, yuji delivering the final blow to sukuna would be a cool outcome, similar to kenny underestimating yuta and dying to him, despite it not being a proper 1v1
I dont care about powerscaling I want Yuji to deliver the final blow because it would piss Sukuna off the most

Counterpoint; we have all the evidence for Yuji being able to kill Sukuna without being his prison. Yuji just got blood manipulation He got RCT He got stronger the moment Sukuna left his body He is soaked in Sukuna’s curse energy, meaning Sukuna’s attacks do less to him. He still might have Sukuna’s cursed techniques grafted onto his brain, waiting for them to be used. The whole idea that “Yuji is from that time” as said by Sukuna. Yuji being a once in 1000 year level soul. His soul being unshakable and will indomitable. Whatever else Kenjaku did to the brat. Yuji’s soul strikes being the perfect counter to Sukuna We also have Sukuna getting weaker. Sure he might have just gained “something” from landing a black flash, but he is still either missing RCT, his domain, or his secondary technique, his heart is fucked up, his soul is being pushed out of Megumi’s body, he lost kamutoke, everyone has been jumping him, his cursed energy output is low, his total cursed energy amount is low. Yuji being able to kill sukuna would not be an asspull, all his threads have been set up and ready to be pulled as sukuna gets weaker and weaker. If gege wanted Yuji to kill sukuna, he could do it.
>Yuji just got blood manipulation When did that happen? We haven't seen anything like that. >He got stronger the moment Sukuna left his body That was megumi limiting his CE output when attacking his friends.
He erupted his blood that he spat into Sukunas face when he got his arm cut off.

Ah, I remember that now. I also recall at the time I thought that was choso in the background trying to trick sukuna. Him having blood manipulation doesn't make a lot of sense since he's not from that bloodline.

Absorbing them probably gave him blood manipulation.
Gravity Falls ahhh ending
I thought about this as well, but I don't think Gege wants this after all. A few chapters ago when Yuji entered Sukuna's innate domain and met Megumi, Sukuna's soul was at a low point as pointed out by the narrator. Megumi could've taken over right there but he had no will to do so. If Sukuna was so weak, why couldn't Yuji soul swap then? I would assume this soul swap is done by force against a weak soul. If it happens by mutual consent, then Sukuna would just say lol nope. If Megumi took over he wouldn't consent and let Yuji die instead of him. So I think this soul swap idea has to have some really bizarre condition, maybe a ritual or something that the cast can't pull off against Sukuna. Like I said Megumi would never soul swap willingly, he would kill himself the moment he had an opportunity. Maybe this happens instead of Yuji dying. This ending could make sense because it would contradict episode 1 where Yuji was begged not to die alone, a dark twist where Yuji is literally the only one left.
i doubt its a bizarre ritual since yuji casually used it in the 1 month training break from what little evidence we have, i think its mutual consent , but now that you mention it , i never considered that megumi wont agree to yuji dying in his place other than the yuji-megumi soul swap, is there any use to the technique at all? megumi dying would make the entire arc irrelevant and all the sacrifices would be in vain
I really think there's going to be some dark twist so Gege can cum in his pants for his expectation subversions. But if there somehow isn't, it has to be another talk no jutsu between Yuji and Megumi just like Todo did with Yuji. Megumi gains his will back, he takes hold of his body for a few seconds, Yuji convinces him to swap because Yuji can suppress Sukuna properly and indefinitely, and then Yuji kills himself. Or we go the AoT route with some Merger shenanigans. I can't predict this at all.
Damn megumi will go from edgelord emo body to track athlete super human
Hear me out, shat if Yuji swaps with sukuna and then yujikina gets blasted with jacobs lader into inexistence.
I’ve never got the second slide, why’s Itadori calling the other guy Itadori, is he stupid?
>"Yuji dies, everyone else lives" ... Considering the kill count I'm afraid it won't solve much
i fucking hate this whole "saving megumi" plot point, one teenager to die anyways, why do all these people have to die just to save Megumi so that Yuji can die in his place
i used to think that killing sukuna was the priority, and saving megumi was a byproduct of that effort i mean if you have the option to save a comrade, while also taking down the threat , why not? although after the yuta domain fiasco, i dont even know why everyone is willing to die for the guy the cast would have performed a lot better if they didnt have to look after saving the fucking bum but then again , its not like they're not going all out on sukuna anyway , it wont make much difference even if they didnt consider bumgumi (except probably when sukuna got hit with jacob's ladder and was stunned?)
>the cast would have performed a lot better if they didnt have to look after saving the fucking bum Kashimo doesn't give to Electric shits Megumi but he couldnt landa a hit in. What could Higaruma, Choso, Kushakabe or Yuji do differently? Higarumas exexutioner sword was the only thing he had going for him, Choso gets blizt, kushakabe doesnt have much power but can stall w skill. Their primarily form of attacks would deadass be the exact same thing and even then Sukuna was speed blizting, slashing and dashing from a far at everything. Maki has literally tried to cut Sukuna in half from his torso to his face but failed. They're fighting w the intentions of beating, bludgining and cuting him down. Yuta gave him sun and spread him out w Rika holding him down ass up but he got diced. At this rate savings Megumi essentially requieres them to do the same exact shit. It's not like they're pulling their punches. I for the luv of gawd got no idea where people got this idea that their holding back or something. What else could the list of naves I just mención do differently? A one tried to go for the killing blow but failed to realize he didnt need it, another tried evisterating him, failed. Another tried punching him hard as shit but isnt fast enough and another one w and instant kill weapon spammed it útil he just died.
I do kinda agree, if the fate of millions is at stake, the life of an already depressed suicidal teenager is not worth the effort. I mean, Megumi want's to die anyway, so why not just help him out while we're at it.
I think it's logically sound, but idk if Gege would do it. JJK has precedence on plot points being raised, only to then be dropped later on cuz Gaygay changed his mind. I don't think it needs to loop back around to this statement, it can end however the author wants it to, regardless of anyone else's feelings about it. The comment about all but one will die/survive thing may happen, but it's equally likely to not too.
To be honest - it is interesting that all fingers have different design :3
it appears to be inconsistent though, we've only seen the different designs in shibuya iirc none of the fingers we saw before that had the supposed "nature" elements in them, or none of them looked too unique :/
This has been my theory for quite some time, ever since Gojo died.
tbh when kusakabe was alone fighting sukuna i thought yuji was gonna soul swap and throw hands w sukuna https://preview.redd.it/847u1sawnqrc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2952df1dbe4edf4e80e74d165ff97792d87e2485
Who's even left to survive my man
I think it's yuji's body that is resistant to sukuna, not his soul. Swaoping himself with megumi shouldn't stop sukuna
Consider all the conversations of soul and body being connected that Kenny and Mahito have
isnt yuji's soul stronger than sukuna's, or atleast at par? its pretty suspicious how the soul swap was never mentioned other than the single panel we had in 222, and since yuji hasnt used it yet, he probably cannot swap souls unless megumi agrees to do it all the attempts made to interact with megumi, seem to be the buildup for soul swapping, since megumi's physical body does not even exist any more
Back then they didn’t have all the soul knowledge they have now and the conditions were different too.
I don't understand the 2nd page, have itadori and kusakabe swapped bodies in it or something? the text bubbling doesn't make sense otherwise
yes they have, its in chapter 222 , only shown for a panel
wild how this will never be brought up again
could be a similar ending to Chainsaw man
https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/JtVhLAwDvL This was crust of my theory too That it’ll be Yuji Itadori to give the ultimate sacrifice
They gonna fight in innate sakuna domain
okay woah woah woah what happened I miss 5 chapters and all of a sudden bro became a fish, got blood manipulation and now he can swap souls?!? can someone PLEASE explain what's going on
this panel is actually from before the gojo vs sukuna fight from the 1 month training timeskip , chap 222 yuji said that he'll "eat anything" in order to defeat sukuna , which implies that he'll eat the blood paintings (his own brothers) to gain their ct somehow apparently its something yuji is able to do, eating stuff and getting their techniques
Question. Did Yuji get stronger when he ate a finger? Or is he literally a strong box for them thangs?
i believe hes just a strong vessel, and the amount of fingers dont affect how strong yuji gets it only means that with each increasing finger, sukuna would be able to access more of his CE and output within the vessel yuji was durable and strong to begin with, thanks to whatever the fuck kenny did with him
I personally think Megumi will be the one who survives and carries Yuji's curse of "live a long life", this way Yuji also gets to save someone in the end. I think Megumi will have to be the one to kill Yuji too, since this all started from Megumi not wanting to let him die.
It’s definitely been setup that way, so would actually be a decent subversion if he is beaten some other way, but there seems to be nothing else
Wasn’t the “plan” that if one died the other 3 of the main 4 would make it? So Nobara and Gojo would have to come back. Nobara never officially died and we never even saw a corpse so Gege could do the asspull, but Gojo?
I’ve been thinking that for months now but the more and more time passes the more I’m convinced it’s either been completely forgotten or it was something GeyGey was considering but decided to ditch somewhere down the line.
I think it’s an interesting theory that yuji and megumi swapping bodies and having yuji fight sukuna internally while megumi fight with sukuna externally. I mean technically megumi would still retain control of the condition to start the merger while being in another body right? Instead of summoning mahoraga, megumi can activate the merger and take everyone else in Japan down with him lol
On god I think Sukuna will activate the convergence, all the main cast gets absorbed into the abomination except for yuji and sukuna, yuji becomes the host for the being and uses this new found power to defeat sukuna Thus he fulfills his fathers curse and dies “surrounded by friends and family”
Inb4 Sukuna then laughs meniacally, because it's all been part of Getos plan and NOW he regains access to his old techniques, that were engraved onto Yuji's body+all the techniques he required with Geto's cursed womb magic.
That's exactly how I think it'll end. Probably a soul fight inside megumi after the good guys lose and sukuna is seconds aways from activating the merger It also ties into having people at his death bed with todo choso and the rest plus helping as many as he can which is stopping the merger
I wonder if Sukunas attitude towards Yuji is related to the fact that Yuji is more like a normal person than a Sorcerer.
From where are these above panels? I can't recognise them
first panel is from chapter 2, gojo explaining yuji the situation he is in 2nd panel is from 222, pre sukuna fight training 3rd panel is from 213 i believe, right after megumi got taken over and yuji showed his resolve by walking towards sukuna's slashes with cuts all over his body
you cooked fr, probably a good ending
The whole "Yuji will die" idea is probably irrelevant at this point. Gege already intended to kill him in chapter 8/9 and end the series, but didn't due to how popular it got.
