What does Yuji's DE do exactly?
Deconstruct the boundaries between reality and dreams and reverts it back to curse energy's origin, the soul, thus creating a peaceful death for evil beings and allowing them to reincarnate through the cycle of samsara, symbolizing Kṣitigarbha, a bodhisattva who helps others to achieve enlightenment. Within Yuji's domain, his dreams and the dreams of others are a culmination brought on by his influence in the timeline of curse energy through his connection, in a way Yuji has become the next Toji, destroying the sorcerer's (Sukuna) destiny and giving him a second chance at existence, not life. Yuji has also done this for Megumi who gave up on life, Yuji gave him a second chance at life.

I'm unable to say
Sukuna
He always was the main thing. A villain that we were waiting to see since the begin of the manga. Constantaly torturing Itadori just because, and evil for no reason. I really like that. He is basically the personification of what JJK is, which is a unfair world where everything must be used as long as you win. The perfect exemple of why a sorcerer is no different from a curse
Mahoraga ma goat

Unsure. Either Hakari vs Kashimo, Mahito vs Todo and Itadori or everything after Sukuna's Divine Flame in Shinjuku
Shibuya or Culling Game

You should have added Volume Cover too. Anyway here is my favourite Volume cover

Since the manga is ending next week, what’s your favorite:

Character:
Gojo (My misunderstood, beautiful, strong, blue eyed king)
Cursed Technique:
Ten Shadows (I love the concept of having to perform a ritual to tame each Shikigami, i love how Megumi can hide stuff or even himself in the shadow, the Shikigami all have really cool designs and Mahoraga is literally peak)
Mahito (He is just a bastard. He felt like the perfect thematic foil to early series Yuji and was the reason for most of his character development. Idle Transfiguration is a really ****** up technique that also gives us most of our information regarding the soul. I love the contrast between him and Jogo, with one considering the disaster curses the true humans while the other calling himself a true curse. He also dies a fittingly pathetic death even if Yuji deserved to be the one to finish him off)
Mahoraga (I don't know what it is with Gege and creating eyeless gray monster designs but goddamn does it work. From the dharma wheel constantly floating above his head to his constant creepy smile all makes Maho feel like this powerful otherworldly being that no sorcerer would be capable of taming.He also kind off resembles an angel with the wings growing out of its face, the tail on his head and the wheel looking almost like a halo)
Either Yuji and Todo vs Mahito or Gojo vs Sukuna (The former is I feel a lot more emotionally potent, what with all the character death(s) and Yuji's development as a character but nothing can match the sheer hype i felt reading through Gojo vs Sukuna every week, even if i still don't like 236 as an ending)
Shibuya in a vacuum but Hidden Inventory within the context of the rest of the series. Shibuya is a great arc, it's dark, it's packed with amazing fights, it has a ton of great character moments but i feel it changes the course of the story so drastically that looking at season 1 vs the culling games feels like looking at two different stories, so i consider it as kind off the spawn point for a lot of my problems with the latter half of the series. Hidden Inventory on the other hand while not as good an arc in a vacuum (even then it's great tho) it does so much to enhance the rest of the series. Geto's character is expanded far beyond just the racist from Vol 0 to the point where he is one of the most beloved characters in the series purely because of his development in this arc. Gojo also gets a ton retroactive development for his character and moments like his sealing in the prison realm or just general attitude in Shibuya with the civilians only work with this addition context to his character. And of course my pookie Toji who yet again almost exclusively appears in this arc yet is one of the best characters in the series, who also paves the way for Maki's development (for the last time Maki is not a Toji clone but the other way around, Toji acts as prelude to what Maki is gonna grow into). So yea Gege was cooking with HI

The shear aura of this moment is unmatched. Honourable mentions would be Gojo tanking MS while smiling and Yuji walking through Dismantle but those two where already posted
 
We're either getting JJK part 2, or the most batshit insane ending that'll leave everyone either hating it or loving it, or even both.
Imagine Sukuna never lost. It was only Yuji's dream of him losing. In reality Sukuna murdered everyone Yuji loved. He is waiting for Yuji to wake up 💀
 

When I tell everyone that Yuji actually did die in chapter 11 and the story has been a "dream" through the influence of curse energy since chapter 11 as chapter 11 was called a dream thus the beginning of Yuji's "dream". And Yuji's one dream was to help others and be surrounded by them when its his time to go. The realm Kenjaku visits everyone in is not a dream but a cursed realm, its an enchanted realm created by curse energy, the energy of existence that connects all destinies. We can see this through Tengen, Six Eyes and Kenjaku their destinies are synonymous with the world of curse energy, a cycle of endless cursing, something which Kenjaku wants to go beyond, to see more of human's potential.

If we consider Yuji's significance in all of this, he represents more than just the "Dreamer." Yuji embodies Kenjaku's ultimate goal; he has succeeded in creating something that surpasses human potential—a being who through curse energy, is able to accomplish the merging of dreams and reality, symbolically, Yuji has entered the "cursed realm" enchanting himself after "death", something only done through the soul, Yuji has done so through dreaming. And what does Kenjaku say to Yuki? "What I can create does not exceed the bounds of my own potential. The answer is always FLICKERING DARKLY in CHAOS." Who is always flickering darkly in the chaos? Yuji. He is an anomaly within this world, seemingly always able to land Black Flashes when he needs to through all the chaos. Kenjaku was too blinded by his desire that he hadn't realized he already succeeded long ago.

Now back to the dreams. Since this is about Kenjaku and Yuji, let's look at Kenjaku's attire: Kenjaku wears a kasaya, a robe for Buddhist monks, monks serve many purposes but particular to Kenjaku, Kenjaku is an abbot of curses, sorcerers, and non-sorcerers, he brings and leads past sorcerers to a new world, their version of paradise some would think, while delivering curses to their role in the world, and finally non sorcerers; we see his interaction with Yuji's friend, he is thanking her and leading her to all the other "dreamers" people who Kenjaku visited and led them outside the barrier from the enchanted realm. Kenjaku in a twisted way resembles and mirrors Yuji, while Yuji is meant to be one who leads all the sinful beings as I mentioned below , Kenjaku's more focused on leading others where they choose knowingly or unknowingly: we see this with Mahito, where Mahito's true self was always human, he gave Mahito the opportunity to seek his true self in Yuji. With Choso, he gave Choso a chance to reconnect with his long lost brother, Yuji and become a human. And with Sukuna and Gojo, he granted them the first moment in their life an event where they could be their true self and not just the strongest as other's saw them.
Deconstruct the boundaries between reality and dreams and reverts it back to curse energy's origin, the soul, thus creating a peaceful death for evil beings and allowing them to reincarnate through the cycle of samsara, symbolizing Kṣitigarbha, a bodhisattva who helps others to achieve enlightenment. Within Yuji's domain, his dreams and the dreams of others are a culmination brought on by his influence in the timeline of curse energy through his connection, in a way Yuji has become the next Toji, destroying the sorcerer's (Sukuna) destiny and giving him a second chance at existence, not life. Yuji has also done this for Megumi who gave up on life, Yuji gave him a second chance at life.
 
Itadori saying "Its gonna be a piece of cake" before a mission in the same chapter with the title of "A dream's end" DEFINITELY means that some shit is gonna happen
The whole story goes by. Yuji gains so much. Two techniques, efficient RCT, simple domain, his own domain expansion, friends who love and support him. Then he dies to a random ass curse user that no one knew about til 30 minutes ago
