ONE OF THE BEST VOLUMES (or am i just too excited after being traumatized by the past chapters?)

YUJI IS BACK! and now we have CHOSO AND YUTA ALL WORKING ON IT!!!!

[Nadia Awadi · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars cause Maki kicked ass. And I'm a Maki fangirl.

[Alexandra Elend Wolf · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Non-sorcerers. Sorcerers. Cursed spirits. These are all possibilities of cursed energy in the form of human beings. And yet, there must be more to human potential. I tried to bring it forth myself. But that doesn’t work. What I can create does not exceed the bounds of my own potential.”

This volume destroyed me and any idea I had about what was going on. Which absolutely awesome.

While previous volumes had made me incredibly emotional and devastated this one just shatter my way of seeing this world completely. I swear I had about ten mental breakdowns in the space of a few minutes trying to fit everything together.

I still have no idea of what's going on.

Just halfway understanding the way all things are connecting is very satisfying, though.

The Shibuya Incident has ended and I'm equal parts relieved- that was rough - and sad, after all, that whole chaos had been going on for quite some time. It was just as heartbreaking and disastrous as I expected but, at the same time, it was a lot better than I could have imagined.

“It is the beginning once again. The world of Heian. The golden age of cursed techniques!”

One of the things that will never tire me is encountering stories in which I can look back and just see all the tiny pieces of information that I was given that I thought I understood and suddenly realized that I knew nothing of it. It's just an amazing feeling.

I was not expecting Jujutsu Kaisen to be one of those.

Boy was I wrong.

All the little details, all the build-up, and all the obviously important things in other ways, all the ways that make my brain just stop functioning. It's all a much more intricate web than I could have ever dreamt.

The incorporation of fate feels so fitting for this story, I mean, it is a story about literal magic, and makes certain paralleling moments all that much more powerful; making it start feeling magical and whimsical, even with all its darkness.

“Whether they’re superior or inferior, older brothers are role models for their younger brothers. If the older brother takes the wrong path, the younger brothers can avoid it. And if I take the right path, my little brothers can follow behind. What if you’re strong because your older brothers are weak? You asked why I’m tough. I’ll tell you. It’s because I didn’t have someone to guide me, so I kept making mistakes. Nonetheless, I must walk ahead of my little brothers. That’s why I’m strong.”

If there is one thing this volume accomplished with excellency - aside from completely blowing my mind - is making me fall absolutely in love with Choso. Something I thought night impossible.

Granted, I hardly knew his character until this last volume but, well, it happened.

Sure, I was laughing my head off most of the time he appeared because the situation was beyond bizarre but that definitely counts as me loving his character.

More than anything else, it is his philosophy that makes me be all soft towards him, honestly. I'm a sucker for interesting viewpoints.

Now, he has joined Todo in my rank of characters I most like to hear talk in this series.

“I’m putting everything – my present and future – into this! Even if it means I never swing a katana again!!”

__________

This volume destroyed me.

My brain is still mush after everything that was dropped here... my God, it was like a bombshell.

I think this has to be my favorite volume so far.

RTC.
___________

Hmm, that cover excites me, which is something I honestly thought I would never say in this manga again.

I want to wrap every remaining character in bubble wrap so I'm sure they are safe, which I know is impossible, and just see them be happy. I don't want to see them fight anymore.

The Shibuya Arc is at its end and my mind is being blown away by that fact alone. The future has to be worse but what is gonna be worse than this whole mess?

[Kindred Reader (lilastrings)]

At first I'm happy to see Okkutsu.... And then I'm not.

Choso and Itadori in their Winchester Brothers Arc

[Lauren Lanz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Live laugh love Choso <3

Gege never gets tired of throwing us for a loop, does he? The Shibuya Incident arc has descended this entire fandom into a spiral, and things keep getting worse for both us and poor Itadori.
As a Choso enthusiast.... the plot twist surrounding him in this volume makes me ecstatic. I just know he's going to be a major player in upcoming volumes, rather than a minor antagonist like he once was. The introduction to Naoya was awesome; he seems like a pesky antagonist, but one that I'll come to love despite his flaws. Plus, Yuta is finally back with a really interesting role to play....

Can't wait for more! So much happened in this volume.

Choso and Itadori 😮‍💨🤌🏻

I really dislike Kenjaku, not even Geto's pretty face can make me like him.

Maki Zen’in. That is all.

SHIBYUA… I’ll never recover. But that was insane. Did I pick up the manga immediately after finishing the anime? Yes. Yes, I did.
I need to determine my manga rating system… because I know it will be slightly different from my typical rating system. But all I know is…that was insane

[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Se acabó el mejor arco de la serie de forma magistral y ahora no hay más que caos, que también está muy interesante. Eso sí, con los personajes destrozados física y psicológicamente, con líos de herencia en el clan Zen'in, con un increíble discurso de Chôso sobre los hermanos y con Yuuta asestando puñaladas.

Tocar disfrutar del próximo tomo antes de meternos de lleno en la mierda del juego que todo el mundo adora pero del que yo estoy hartísima.

[Lucy Tonks (the invisible life of a reader) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't think I will stop tonight until I finish all the chapters of the manga... I'm way to invested at this point.
I'm happy that Yuta finally made an apperance, but I'm a bit concerned not gonna lie. Although I have a theory about what he is doing...

[lou · Rating 5 out of 5]

i'm so stressed, like, yay we finished the shibuya thing but there's so many problems??????????????????? if nothing gets resolved I'm literally dnf-ing until it gets better lmao

[maela · Rating 4 out of 5]

[ana (ananascanread) · Rating 5 out of 5]

my therapist will probably need therapy after hearing me complain about how Gege destroys me, puts my heart back together, just to annihilate it right after... it's a vicious cycle.

[skylar ₊˚⊹♡ [busy] · Rating 5 out of 5]

THIS FEELS LIKE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT GUYS. i’m free…i’m finally free from my cage. THE SHIBUYA ARC IS OVER THANK GOD. this means that i’ll only have a vague sense of what’s gonna happen from what i’ve seen online so YAYAYYAYAY NEW CONTENT!!! no but the chills i got…the way the shibuya arc ends will always freak me out because wdym tokyo’s in shambles?? wdym the strongest sorcerer is in the prison realm?? WDYMMM. and tsumiki…this is where it all goes downhill (it’s already downhill let’s be real). but megumi didn’t even make an appearance in this one and that made me really sad ☹️

- Se revela la verdadera maldición que está dentro de Geto, y es el mismo que embarazó a la mamá de los úteros malditos, uno de los magos más malvados que ha existido. Norishito Kamo, pero no el actual, sino un antepasado que al parecer tiene 150 años.

- Choso aparece y dice que Itadori es su hermano de sangre después de usar el ataque de sangre perforadora, algo muy raro.

- El discípulo de Sakuna —Uraume—, ayuda a Geto-Norishito con un conjuro de hielo muy fuerte, sin embargo, aparece Yuki para salvar a los magos que sobrevivieron a el evento de Shibuya.

- Geto-Norishito ha cambiado de plan, quiere comprender más el poder mágico y que todos los que usan magia puedan convivir.
Tsumiki la hermana de Megumi es una de las personas a las que Geto ha seleccionado y al parecer quiere que pelee contra Itadori. Todo el plan en Shibuya fue para que Geto fortaleciera su poder absorbiendo a las maldiciones que tenía de aliadas, como Mahito y los demás, y que volviera la era de oro de las maldiciones, por eso libera una gran cantidad de maldiciones.

- Caos en Japón, el número de maldiciones liberadas son alrededor de 10 millones y el vacío político es oficial.

- Yuta aparece luego de 16 volúmenes. Veremos que cambiará, aunque creo que no mucho, ya que quiere matar a Itadori por romperle el brazo a Toge. Algo que no mostraron, aunque supongo que fue en la batalla de Sakuna contra el Shikigami que liberó Megumi.

- Se confirma la muerte de Naobito, líder del clan Zenin, —ya entiendo por qué todos odian a ese clan— Sin embargo, si Gojo muere, Megumi pasará a ser el líder del Clan Zenin, algo que Naoya no va a permitir.

- Yuki escolta a los demás fuera del peligro, mientras que Itadori y Choso están eliminando maldiciones, pero Yuta, Naoya, y Megumi están en su búsqueda.

- Choso se enfrenta a Naoya mientras que Yuta va por Itadori.

- Yuta mata a Itadori —Aparentemente— con ayuda de Rika. Que pensaba que en el volumen 0 la había exorcizado

- Naoya tiene problema contra Choso, pero Yuta llega a salvarle el pellejo.

Ostatnio na Vinted przypadkiem trafiłam na rewelacyjną cenę za szesnaście tomów tej mangi i uznałam, że przed obejrzeniem drugiego sezonu anime nadrobię papier. Zaczęłam czytać z ciekawości, a postanowiłam historię kosztować powoli. Tyle że minął czwarty dzień od zakupu, a ja już wszystko przeczytałam.
WOW.
Pod względem scen walki - czasami było mało czytelnie. Kilka kwestii odnośnie mocy też nie prezentowało się wybitne (ale autor to wie i sam z tego żartuje, więc fajnie). A jednak to była TAK CUDOWNA przygoda. Omamo. Totalnie się wkręciłam.
Papa wypłato. Papa życie. Papa inne lektury.
MUSZĘ czytać dalej.

✣ this is becoming mentally exhausting. now there's the culling game, a jujutsu terrorism on a never seen before scale. gege is going off with this shit. but gotta love the chaos.
“𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱? 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹.”
✣ there is an in-depth look at the jujutsu families clans political dynamic, in addition to showing the consequences of what happened after the imprisonment of gojo + a fight between itadori & choso vs. naoya and yuta
✣ chōsō being the most wholesome, adorable character ever; “𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶 𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵, 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗶 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹. 𝗶 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀. 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼, 𝗶 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶'𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴!”
