[Arkenis]

It's only being compared to Bleach at the moment. Since, y'know, Kubo being the inspiration, and the fact the ending reeks of "I'm gonna let some poor third party shmuck make a light novel that solves every plotline and ties everything together"

Look a LN would still be nice. The manga just won't do it justice

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Still curious to know what the heck happened with Uro
Or the USA knowing about Cursed Energy
Or why Mahito is using his Idle Transfiguration to cheat death and not reincarnate
Or Sukuna's finger making a sound in the final panel
Or the conclusion of the big three families

All of this will be answered in Bujutsu Baisen. Staring Bika, the heir to the Zen'in Clan, and the child of Maki and Yuta, with Megumi being his uncle sidekick. Together they will stop the US government from shoving the souls of curse users and cursed spirits into nuclear reactors to make even more powerful energy. Featuring a side-quest in Africa.

In the final arc, a bearded Yuji with cyborg arms will aid them.

Bait for a JJK can’t curse your own world esque light novel

 

[Excellence616]

You mean Sukuna not the verse?

Both

JJK fans are truly some of the most brainrotted fans in history. Can’t beat JoJo’s fans tho. Those mfs didn’t even know how a refrigerator worked

Kinda reminds me of a guy who thinks Jjk is planetary because Choso survived being pinned down by Kenjaku gravity.

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

But fr, I still have hopes for a "part 2" or at least a big spin-off, especially with that editor's last note

And I doubt that Jump would not try to milk JJK until the last drop

 

[Arkenis]

Both

Well the verse won't be upgraded off EMW, only Sukuna would. And its not consistent, its also just one random feat and not blatant that what he reacted to was the emw.

I like to think that Gege intentionally left a lot of things vague or up in the air in case he ever comes back to the manga (or in case Jump forces him to come back)

Where Yuji?

[M3X_2.0]

Where Yuji?

Where he deserves to be. Out of the top 10.

 

[Giannysmag]

Where he deserves to be. Out of the top 10.

I am 100 meters away from your location and rapidly approaching

 

[Shmooply]

Out of the top 10 because nobody can compete with him in the first place RAHHHHHHH

 

[M3X_2.0]

I am 100 meters away from your location and rapidly approaching

Please come we can have drinks and then I back stab you.

 

[EldemadeDityjon]

Where Yuji?

in Ohio.
He is too strong for that list.

Out of the top 10 because nobody can compete with him in the first place RAHHHHHHH

Also Takaba would be on top 4 if he has will to kill others

 

[Shmooply]

Takaba top 4 because Kenjaku was the only one that managed to beat him and because Word of God says he can counter Infinity

 

[Arkenis]

Why did Yuji never hit a Manji Kick black flash? Gege was not in the kitchen bro.

 

[Giannysmag]

Please come we can have drinks

Not old enough to do that yet

and then I back stab you.

Nah uh I have High 3-A durability

 

[EldemadeDityjon]

Takaba top 4 because Kenjaku was the only one that managed to beat him and because Word of God says he can counter Infinity

Wait we have another contender for Top 4. The potential man himself.

 

[Shmooply]

Top 1 of the verse. Editor of the first half of JJK.

The only one capable of keeping Gregorious in check

 

[Arkenis]

Megumi's arsenal honestly would've been top 3 and its insane we will never get to see Barrier-less Shadow domain control spanning across all of Tokyo and creating massive totality shikigamis. This guy has a ct use in domain better than having it be a sure hit, multiple shikigamis to clone, Mahoraga summon if shit gets bad, totality when two die, and then he's got hand to hand. All he needs is rct and larger ce reserve.

Gege is honestly such a fraud for never having Megumi reach his full potential after all the hype. It's probably my biggest gripe with how the series ended

 

[Yasuda_144]

Honestly, I think Full Potential Megumi would just be a boring character in terms of everything except fights. Like, say what you will about the ways he got shafted by the narrative post-Shibuya but at least in the earlier arcs he wound up sticking out as more than just Vaguely Edgy Stoic Badass Deuteragonist #37,410, and a big part of that is the way he was the closest to an "everyman" among the main trio.

Bro’s lack of character development has to be studied

He’s the exact same person he was at the start of the series as he is in the end

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Nobara and Megumi witnessing Itadori oneshot a Special Grade curse

 

[Yasuda_144]

Yeah lmao right, and the worst part is that he had plenty of development in the first few arcs, only to basically be factory reset because it was the only way to give him a happy ending in the like 3 chapters Gege had left to resolve his arc. But that could've easily been solved by pacing Shinjuku better and not making 99% of it one giant uninterrupted fight against Sukuna.

 

[Giannysmag]

Do you mean that he is the everyman in terms of personality? Cause sure he was always the most sane character in the cast (relatively speaking) but him achieving his full potential wouldn't really change that. After all he's been hyped up as this genius of Jujutsu since pretty much the start of the series

 

[Apotheosis69]

Would Toji's Inverted Spear work in Cross-Verse matchups on all forms of supernatural attacks or only Cursed Energy based abilities?

Imo, only if the other verse's Energy System has Emotion-Based powers.

 

[Giannysmag]

Nobara and Megumi witnessing Itadori oneshot a Special Grade curse

I really wish that if we ever get a part 2 there's a scene where they show how much stronger Yuji is now compared to the other two and them struggling to even keep up cause it'd be mad funny

 

[Arkenis]

Megumi doesn't have to reach his potential to be better. What Gege did was lay down so much and not even explore one aspect of his potential. He instead shifted it to Sukuna, the guy who already had his own arsenal and hype with his ct. This is like if Kishimoto hypes on biju mode and subtly plants cool concepts in Naruto then just gives it all to Minato lmao.

 

[AyeZ2]

Megumi’s only significance in the story was helping Sukuna find a way past Infinity and beating Reggie. That’s it. No finished DE, no RCT, no awakening, nothing. Complete waste of a character

Bro’s sole purpose in life was to help the main villain kill and get rid of his biggest obstacle, Gojo

Yeah, but I do feel that the way he falls behind a prodigy like Yuji and the general way his accomplishments aren't quite on par with Yuji's is also a part of it.

Our of everyone in the main cast, he's the one who's most often the underdog in any given fight, and I feel like if he became powerful enough that only the top dogs of Jujutsu society can challenge him, he'd lose a part of what makes him compelling.

Yeah, the fact that so many of the Ten Shadows shikigami were only revealed by Sukuna in Megumi's body was pretty dumb. Would it have killed Gege to have him showcase Round Deer and Piercing Ox in the Culling Games? Especially since the first draft of that arc had Megumi as the protagonist.

Like, as it stands Ten Shadows is almost more of a Sukuna technique than a Megumi technique, and Sukuna then loses access to it after his fight with Gojo. Just seems like a waste.

[Rosa]

Still curious to know what the heck happened with Uro

Maki mentioned in 270 how the reincarnated sorcerers are just doing their own thing rn and Yuji and Hana will hunt them down to exorcise their souls from the vessel (which would either kill the body or return the original soul, depending on how submerged the soul is on a case by case basis).

Or the USA knowing about Cursed Energy

Maki mentioned in 270 how they were planning a mission to go and retrieve the curse users kidnapped, but this answer isn't very satisfying given the potential in allowing this to span out into its own entire arc

Or why Mahito is using his Idle Transfiguration to cheat death and not reincarnate

for ***** and giggles, the same reason why Mahito does anything! Fr tho, I think it's fine that his cursed technique allows his soul to exist in a sort of limbo state, and he mentions how he did so since he wanted to talk to Sukuna again before passing on.

Or Sukuna's finger making a sound in the final panel

Do you mean the "creak" sound? That's just the door to its container being opened by someone or something, like a generic pseudo-cliffhanger ending

Or the conclusion of the big three families

Well, the Kamo family is allied with all the main cast (given it's led by Noritoshi Kamo), the last remaining people of the Zenin family are members of the main cast (Maki and Megumi), and the new shadow style school is led by a member of the main cast (Kusakabe), so the Gojo clan (who possess no CT nor allies) will just get steelrolled if they try to go through with their rebellion plan and the main cast can sort of establish peace through implied force just by existing. Hence why in chapter 270 everything seems to be going fine.
