I was mentally retreading the problems of JJK (which I do a lot),* I was thinking of easy & clever ways to introduce characterization, which I think it he biggest problem in JJK; that there's little chatting between friend's. And I thought: why not have a training arc? This would've been perfect. Of course, Gege purposefully didn't include one probably because he's tired of JJK, but more likely that he wanted to suspend a lot of surprises for the end. But I feel that he could've shown their training WITHOUT showing them devising the entire plan, & it would've been good. Here are some dynamic ideas I had.
Shoko & that guy who had that sugar-transfering technique:
Shoko could've taken that guy under her wing to teach various ways to manipulate RCT output, increase it, & shown some nifty Jujutsu-tech-gadgets or something. She could've exposited about Gojo & Geto's loneliness, how cursed energy/cursed techniques bind people to set fate's, & her experiences as a woman & maybe talk about Yuki?
Kashimo & Hakari:
Hakari could have some cool moments talking about gambling your life, Kashimo could've exposited about the Hein era, & the tales he heard of Sukuna, & what Kenjaku was doing in Noritoshi Kamo.
Yuta & Gojo
Both of them one-on-one, Yuta trying to open up Gojo to talk about Geto, & them arguing that Gojo nver lets anoyone in. Maybe a hurtful line from Gojo. This could've made the body-swap surprise more sad & meaningful.
Yuji, Noritoshi, Choso, Kusakube:
Chat about being brothers, Choso talks about Yuki, Noritoshi talks about Kamo clan & the history of some of their techniques. Maybe throw in Kusakube to get a gag-reaction of Choso & some awkward hijinks where Choso dislikes the body-swap thing. That would make his role as a brother feel more real. Kusakube could use falling blossom against Noritoshi or Choso in a spar, which would foreshadow Gojo versus Sukuna.
Maki & Higuruma:
Maybe we could have them chat & have Maki really feel for Higuruma's sense of justice. I'd rather had Higuruma be kept lonely & out of the interactions to make him seem more self-castigating. Maybe we could occasionally throw in some scenes of Maki working out all alone, & some strength feats to hype her up.
I could think up more. Suggest some characters if you want my ideas.
@Alexis2282AE what do you think?
EDIT: To be clear, I was more thinking these could happen at slightly different times, mostly taking place right before Shinjuku.
