JJK Chapter 268 Spoilers

Apollo

The Sol King
Half of him

You can't really call the legs and part of his torso Gojo really. The sex eyes and the hands and brain were all lying down on the floor
Humans stand on their legs, and Gojo's legs were firmly on the ground.
Not everyone is a frog curse like the king of frauds.

Literally Sukuna's slash lol

He got the blue print from Maho to bypass infinity. But the slash is his own. Remember that he doesn't have 6e to just see a technique once and understand it instantly. He still had to do that technique by himself. It's his own skill and smarts and technique.
The technique, the adaptation was Mahoraga's. Sukuna applied the adaptation (extending the range of the slash) that Mahoraga came up with. Obviously he'll have to do the technique, did you expect Mahoraga to also world-slash Gojo for him after he died from Purple ? :suresure:

That's called bad writing lol

Not Sukuna's fault
Cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
 
Also, you guys arent ready to see Gojo's revival next chapter. Who else would call Yuta a son of a bitch ?

:kuzanshut:
Lol gojo wouldnt call yuta that
Gege already said 1 die and 3 survive or 3 die and 1 survive between gojo nobara yuji megumi
Gojo s dead and other 3 survived
 
Because expectations are too high these days. Back in the day people were content when the good guys won and survived the story and then some people got married. Nowadays people want to see a lot of people getting killed and more depressing endings (or want more and more of the final fights). I don’t think it‘s realistic tho. The endings we got from
MHA
and JJK fit the good guys won and are happy now criteria and are fine tbh. They’re just nothing special.
I don't think you (or more importantly - the author) should be content with a very boring/generic ending though.

It's still art and should never be boring.

A good ending doesn't necessarily need many deaths or sth like that.

What it does need is

1) Proper pacing that feels adequate in the overall context of the entire story (suddenly rushing to the end in a few chapters when you had a manga that is several hundred chapters long is just not good writing).

2) A dramatic highlight scene to show the importance of the final conflict.

3) A conclusion to all the major storyarcs.

Many mangas simply fail at step 1) already though.
 
hmmm

I'd argue that it is peaking precisely BECAUSE the series is ending.

Like, most of the culling games and stuff was VERY quite online.

It only went "mainstream" to this level in the Gojo vs Sukuna fight, and the Lobotomy memes that followed. And after Gojo died, there just wasn't much story to tell. It's a battle shonen. And it's most hyped up battle was over, and it was time to kill the final villain and end the manga.

Extending the series any further would only have met with further criticism.
JJK did not go mainstream with Gojo vs Sukuna.

It went mainstream because of the anime, specifically season 2. JJK's cultural footprint skyrocketed as a result of the anime, and for the millions came with the anime that now make up the majority of the fanbase, the party is only just getting started. They have no idea the series is already ending.

Who have you seen complaining the series has gone on for too long? No one familiar with shounen. Certainly not anyone familiar with JJK, given the fans are complaining about the lack of follow through and closure.
 
Yuji would still hurt his soul directly - he purposely attacked the area between their souls BECAUSE he wanted to separate them.
Meaning he has precise control over what part he can target, it's not haphazard attacks
You're right and wrong at the same time.

Nobody says Yuji wasn't skillful and precise in his attacks, that's where you're right.

However, you're wrong in thinking this contradicts what I said. Yuji's attacks weren't effective in hurting Sukuna as much as they were effective on damaging his hold on Megumi and continuously nerfed his output and his control over the body.

He can hit Sukuna's soul directly all he wants, it would have been a lot less effective than what he pulled this fight.
Post automatically merged:

lol like we didnt watch Yuji just continuously target and disrupt Mahitos soul for the first half of the series lol
That was useful because hitting Mahito's soul was the only way to hit him, like using haki against a logia.

It doesn't have that impact on other opponents.

Mainstream as in all the Lobotomy memes

It was insanely popular before, yes.

But the lobotomy memes took it to another level

JJK's cultural footprint skyrocketed as a result of the anime, and for the millions came with the anime that now make up the majority of the fanbase, the party is only just getting started.

I'm pretty confident that a large majority of those people have been spoiled on the gojo vs Sukuna fight and know it's close to ending lol

Really?

Literally the majority of the fandom have been complaining about the pisspoor writing and the repeating cycle of Sukuna fighting the good guys

Outside of a heian era flashback, and better writing in the fights, what exactly is there to extend the series?

JJK doesn't have a huge world or a large cast of characters.


No
Last chapter he threw them in the ground he never picked them back
you mean this right?



I think it's just weird shading from gege

The ending has wrapped up some of the elements from early on and done rather well. The hints were obvious and ongoing. Gege did give the series an appearance of being the manga version of Street Fighter then came back on-topic with story. I agree that there has not been proper pacing. Sukuna's power and endurance have been one of the highlights. The other highlight, that seems to have been missed, is Yuji's role as the boddhisatva. This has been repeated over and over in the series, in indirect and direct ways (chapter 265 being obvious). Sukuna chose to remain a curse and refused the boddhisatva's mercy. It does seem rushed to conclude all arcs in 5 chapters.
Not as bad as GoT doing it in one episode.
