“Thats it sukuna youre done for.” “I vow to never eat chick-fil-a on wednesdays at 9:46 pm EST for the rest of my life” “What” *Sukuna gets his cursed energy back* “Thats not how it works the fuck” “You dont understand brat, eating chick fil a at that exact hour on that exact day is a very important practice for me starting from now.”
Chainsaw man characters making a contract with a devil only for it to fail at its task as the character straight up fades away vs Sukuna using admin perms for the mechanic
I think the furnace bv makes sense, he exploited the effect because a bv doesn't look at the potential damage you can do, only if the exchange is roughly the same, which in a vaacum it is, it's just that sukuna knew about the interaction of fire with dust particles. He basically found a loophole that made his mediocre technique into a massive nuke
Look like? That’s the only way greg knows how to write off sukuna on the ropes. And it’s not even like the vows make him give up all that much; “oh, but he made a binding vow to not eat Mac and cheese for 10 minutes to gain enough strength to neg diff these high schoolers” the one he made to world slash Gojo in exhancge that he has to violently telegraph every one afterwards only seems not bs because he’s so goddamn battered and bruised atp. Were he to have gone Heian era form and be completely fresh the vow would amount to nothing cause he legit outstats everyone
@@wilsonsanabia4259not only that but he can only use Furnace under very specific conditions AND he gives us the sure hit effect of his domain on people. I don't see how people can't view that as a trade-off
I think pimping out binding vows is what Sukuna meant by “yall don’t understand real jujutsu.” He knew which piece of the power system is the most easily exploitable
@@misscornicat think about it like this. Not everyone has a maximum, not everyone has a reversal technique, not everyone can achieve domain expansion. But ANYONE can pimp themselves out with binding vows if they want to.
Sukuna in chapter 260 is gonna do a binding vow where he sacrifices a hair follicle to heal his entire body and launch every icbm on the planet at Yuji
Could Yuji make a binding vow that lets him use black flash At will? He's already hitting it consecutively so the vow wouldn't be too much of a buff, so maybe the sacrifice wouldn't be so big
I need Sukuna to take an L because of a binding vow; that’s the only way using them so freely, casually, with no explanation, can have some sort of meaning to the story.
He's already taken Ls, He can't spam wsc which he would've been able too if he didnt use binding vows and while its indirect he cant use his cursed technique very well now because of domain which he opened with binding vow
Can you people fucken read? Stop the bs about what happened after binding vows and focus on actual vow and equivalent exchange. Space cutting dismantle. To skip a step one time he has to add an extra step all the time. Kamino. To skip range on multiple people outside, he adds range in domain so speed wouldn't matter. That's the definition of equivalent exchange. Sukuna is just smart af.
@@Jollofmuncher2000being forced to violently telegraph a move against people that even in this battered state he outstats every way conceivable is not the L you think it is.
Nah, you gotta abuse it. “When I kick a foe that I have not punched, that kick will possess the strength of a punch with the same amount of force put behind it.”
To be fair that vow is commonly misunderstood. It was that his vow traded an arm for his life directly, it was a cursed energy reinforcement vow that stated in exchange for not protecting his arm at all, he would protect the rest of his body to a greater degree and that happened to save his life. He effectively just gambled that losing an arm would be enough to protect himself. It was an indirect trade that worked out for him.
@@scrubnub6203 it also aided more that without his arm he couldnt access domain afterwards. People gotta understand the vows work from the perspective of the maker and what they value. Sure the charizard trade is dumb on paper but not when that card was his first ever pkm card that he received from his late grandmother. (Not a great example tho bc trading would be an example of a BV between 2 individuals) as sukuna abuses self imposed vows Sorry for the autism
@@BuhLayr Yep, Without an arm, he can't open another domain, which made his binding vow even stronger since its not simply just 'exchanging an arm'. There is a lot of downsides to Hakari and his Jujutsu as well.
depends of how many vows exactly did he use for shrine. But he has used like 15 in total probably: to Yuji, to Jogo, to Kenjaku, for his domain battles with Gojo he used around 5, he used one for world cut, he used multiple for his domain expansion, and the binding vow for Fuga. and i dont think there were many vows in the series before this.
Revealing ones hand fucks because not only does it give an excuse to explain your power it's basically telling your enemy how your gonna fuck them up while letting them know they can't stop it
I like how there was two sides of the whole thing. Gojo vs Jogo: Gojo tell Jogo his technique for no reason other than shits and giggles, bro was already way more powerful than Jogo Sukuna vs Jogo: "Revealing my technique is cheating and I'm not gonna do that to win, I'll just defeat you and as you're dying you'll wonder what the f*ck I used against you"
the best part about 'revealing ones hand' is that it works the best for curse techniques that are so unorthodox that explaining them makes it even more confusing to predict because you end up getting way too in your own head about it. Case in point, that vow with Boogie Woogie is terrifying, because the more you over-analyze Boogie Woogie the more likely you'll fall for the tricks
Nen restrictions were set up way better, jjk restrictions are floppy and full of holes plus ignore context which makes them easier to abuse, nen power system on top
i said that last chapter, Sukuna traded 2/3 of his domain expansion's duration in exchange for: Getting his domain back in the first place. using the domain with only one hand. the domain getting back its 100% output and range (or 140m, it says its the same as the Shibuya domain) even after all of the nerfs he got. and the domain trapping the Yuji in the middle despite Yuji not being close to the shrine itself.
@@rockargen9591it was stated there were many binding vows and that the duration was not one of them, just a consequence, we don’t know what all sukuna agreed too, hell he could’ve agreed to something that accidentally revived gojo in 260 WE DONT KNOW, learn to read before you act like gege doesn’t know how to write a power system or a hype moment
The biggest problem with the binding vows Sukuna uses is the fact that it is often used to retroactively explain things rather than set them up “In exchange for one instant world slash he now has to do a chant with every following one” That would be cool if he used world slash beforehand multiple times, showing what a menace it is without the chant and explaining the need for the instant slash so it didn’t feel like as asspull as he offscreened Gojo. Instead we just saw the chant as how world slash worked before the binding vow revealed “Fire arrow can only hit one target except in the domain where it can chain react explode everything” Neat! Would be nice if we got to see that fire arrow struggled when being used or got told that it works by detonating a target and were shown it can only hit one thing BEFORE the explanation why. Instead it’s just a huge info dump “Sukuna’s domain can only let living things freely pass in and out of it to keep all the dust in” Since when could Sukuna do this? Is this a binding vow? Is this just something he can do? Would have been a lot better if we saw that objects couldn’t leave BEFORE being told Sukuna’s vows would be FAAAAR more acceptable if we saw the full story. People don’t go around calling Hakari’s vow an asspull because leaving your arm defenseless to reinforce the rest of your body makes sense and is a fair trade off. Sukuna’s on the other hand feel like they traded very little for the most W upsides ever because of how they are presented narratively It doesn’t help that the consequence to a binding vow is, as far as we know, the vow just being reverted. It begs the question of why people don’t do the “one time super move in exchange for something else” and then just immediately break said vow because, as far as we know, there is no reason you can’t
@@beywheelzhater8930 your last point is really whats so weird about the binding vows. lets take miwa as an example: she vowed to never use a sword again to empower one attack. If she broke the vow by using a sword again, what exactly would she lose? (especially because that attack ended up doing nothing)
@@Oearli Apparently, the potency of the vow varies depending on how much the sorcerer values what they're losing, which kind of implies that Miwa didn't really care about swordsmanship.
Mechamaru's binding vow with Kenjaku is actually pretty interesting because it's the only binding vow where no side had to sacrifice anything. Sure Mechamaru has to betray his friends but it didn't directly hurt him, and all Kenjaku had to do for his side of the arrangement was have Mahito heal Mechamaru which literally doesn't sacrifice anything on their side, it took Mahito five seconds to transfigure him and heal him and didn't cost any cursed energy
Binding vows between people are just deals with consequences. Its like telling someone "I promise not to tell anyone" after they tell you a secret but if you tell someone the secret you'll explode or something. Binding vows with yourself have to be equal because you're basically trading 2 ideas with yourself "I can't sing ever again but now I can dance really well."
Nanami’s binding vow and the “Reveal one’s hand” binding vow are peak and i wish we got more like them. And i didn’t even think about how good Higuruma could’ve been with binding vows.
Am I the only one that dislikes Revealing One's Hand? Why do manga/anime constantly need to have their powers explained from the source? Why can't the character's just figure it out as they're fighting? It just feels like a lazy way, a get out of jail free card, to have characters talk about their powers. Also do we ever see just how much more powerful they get after the explanation? Because to me it looks like nothing changes.
@@paledrakeeh, I think it works. In JJK, some explaining IS done. But alot of figuring out happens too. Like when Sukuna figures out MAHORSGA technique or like Yuji getting caught out by all of Choso's insane blood techniques.
It's not broken. And Sukuna just have years of experience on making a specific vow and to exploit its loophole. Plus even he's not invincible, the Vows he's been making all these times are slowly taking tolls on him. Why do you think he's been unable to heal all his arms?
Its not broken though. Sukuna being the strongest naturally means he can sacrifice more things in order for victory. Meanwhile there's almost nothing that other characters with less skill can put in order to get a meaningful outcome. And really the only bs binding vow he used was the fire arrow one which the tradeoff isnt even reveal yet
It is kinda broken tho It could just be that sukuna is more experienced at making vows that work out more for him. So from what we are understanding, binding vows could help certain characters during battle a lot as long as they sacrifice something in order to gain or maintain a certain advantage. Its just that its kind of not really the time for experimenting right now
I think more people don't do it because it requires taking a very calculated risk. You could have a situation like Hakari where a good usage of binding vow is literally the difference between life and death with little to no downside or you can have a situation like Miwa where you do absolutely no damage and now you can no longer fight.
One injustice I will never accept from Gege is not letting us see Todo interact with more characters. Like, you're telling me the woman that shaped and defined his entire Persona and shifted his entire life as we know it shares 3 lines of dialogue with him in the 260 chapters of the manga? She was on screen with the crew for several chapters and we ain't even so much as heard a single "Oh hey, how've you been kid?" Doesn't even get to interact with Choso or nothing either. Too many characters don't get to sit down and breathe with other characters before they get murked.
Sukuna is that kid on the Playground where my "powers do this and that if you do this and that" lol. Reminds me of Nanika is HxH except Nanika would kill almost anyone unless it is Killua.
No you don't get it. Killua was the only one that knew how her powers worked. Anyone else could get what they wanted without consequence if they knew his method.
@@s3eriousbl9ck26 i know killua knows how her power work. So its like Sukuna is the only one who knows how binding vow works since it doesnt look like he sacrifices much.
Maybe Sukuna is so delusional that he holds everything he owns to a higher level than everything else, so regardless of what he trades a Binding Vow works (The Choujin X video has been confirmed)
Can somebody genuinely tell me this: How does Sukuna, tearing off Yuji's finger, and force feeding it to Megumi does not break the conditions for the 'Enchain' binding vow? The ones which specified Sukuna won't harm or kill anyone during the 1 minute he's in control. Hell, even if we assume the finger tearing doesn't count because Yuji's selflessness or something, still, he force fed that shit to Megumi. Grabbed his face and shoved it down his throat. Seems harmful to me. Did potential man just enjoy it so the binding vow didn't break or what? Does grabbing someone's face and shoving down a torn off finger down their mouth not count as harm?
BUMgumi's bum particles were so incredibly ass that they made the binding vow turn off, as even a piece of the power system could not hold a good fight against BUMgumi's stench. However, Sukuna has been known to love bums (Uraume and Megumi), giving him an easy chance to change bodies.
He also hit Hana/Angel to knock her out. How did that not count as hurting someone? He even says “oh no I broke the vow I hope nothing happens! This is a gamble from here on out” and then Gege tries to write a “gotcha!” moment of “oh well anyone doesn’t include MYSELF!” But he already hurt Hana/Angel??? 😭
7:37 - I can see why Gojo THOUGHT Sukuna was holding back, his 6-eyes PROBABLY told him Sukuna had a fire attack he didn't used, and a +1 life he also didn't used, that's why he THOUGHT Sukuna wasn't going all out, but then WE AS VIEWERS learn that he was just trying to hard he could'nt use FUGGA Lmao, but Gojo as a IN-UNIVERSE character, probably didn't knew that
Yep, this explains it perfectly. Sukuna is seemingly able to use binding vows by either giving up nothing or giving up something retroactively that we didn't know he had. They are still great when used properly tho.
Sukuna has made 3 binding vows thus far within the battle. I'll try to explain some of them as well as what he sacrificed. The first binding vow that Sukuna did was to use the World Slash instantly, in exchange for extra requirements to activate the slash. He basically needs three arms (one to point the trajectory of the slash and two to make the Enmaten hand sign) and needs to chant in order to pull it off. It is because of this binding vow that Sukuna can no longer use this move since he only has two hands, and thus lost one of his most powerful techniuqes. The World Slash's nerfs are also why Maki and Kusakabe (although Kusakabe was told by Sukuna that he was gonna use it) was able to properly defend against it. The second binding vow that Sukuna made was to sacrifice the ability to use Furnace on multiple targets and that he can only use the technique in 1v1 situations in order to strengthen the speed and range of the technique. The only time that this doesn't apply is when Sukuna is using Domain Expansion. It is worth noting that because of this binding vow, Sukuna can no longer use Furnace anymore since he is unable to do anymore Domain Expansions (hopefully) and because he is almost always in a 1v2+ scenario. The third binding vow was related to opening his Domain in the first place. Honestly, I can't give you an answer of what Sukuna sacrified since Gege doesn't tell us. This is the only binding vow that isn't explained in good detail and is the most valid when it comes with people's issue with binding vows. This is not anything to defend binding vows and their use of just being plot devices, but he is still at least sacrificing SOMETHING and it is impacting his performance and his future performance.
@@numbers1476 Yea, I'm aware of all of that. I'm perfectly fine with what Sukuna lost in the World Slash BV. I'd much prefer it was revealed earlier since it left people wondering how he'd used it vs Gojo, but I'm fine with it. The Kamino BV is unnecessary and weird. Not only was he giving up something we didn't know he had to begin with (giving up Kamino's potential for AoE damage), but this wasn't even needed in the first place. Gege could've removed this BV entirely and nothing changes. Just make Kamino not suck ass in range and speed (we've only seen it used twice before now and it has never been dodged so this would still make sense). Sukuna would still have to use Cleave and Dismantle to unlock Kamino and can still use it in his DE explosion attack. If anything, the BV should've been that Sukuna intentionally locks Kamino behind Cleave and Dismantle in exchange for the same benefits. And we agree on the domain expansion BV, nothing more needs to be said.
@@numbers1476 I like how you claim the 3rd one is the only one with issues while at the same time having 'hopefully' in your explaination of BV 2 for him popping a domain.
@@axis1247 Mainly because that statement was made before it was confirmed that Sukuna could use his Domain Expansion again lol. I was simply making an educated guess and assumed that the Domain Expansion took a lot of CE from him and he couldn't do it again, and thus making the Binding Vow go into effect.
@@obe1_kenobi Your suggestion of BV still falls under your issue of "giving up something retroactively that we didn't know he had" and "nothing changes". Even then, it doesn't really matter much because that is the reason why Gege tells us what the BV was so we know what he had previously and what he gained, especially since it isn't inconsistent and aligns with how it was used previously for the most part. It is something that is essentially just a non-issue.
the worst part about the world cut binding vow is that he already had to do the hand signs and chants. What he exchanged for skipping those steps and (seemingly) making it invisible to the six eyes, was that he now needs to (and get this) aim it with his hand... such a fair binding vow, literally saved his life and all it takes for him to do it now is pointing his hand at something. Amazing.
Prior to the binding vow, the only condition to use the World Slash was just the enmaten hand sign. It is only after the binding vow that he needs the conditions of chants. Because of the binding vow, the requirement of World Slash is 3 arms (one to aim the trajectory of the slash and two to do the Enmaten hand sign) and he needs to chant. It is worth noting that World Slash would be COMPLETELY unusable if it wasn't for Sukuna's true form, and is also the reason why he can't use the World Slash now since he only has two arms. The fact that the move is so telegraphed is the reason why people like Maki and Kusakabe (although Sukuna basically told him he was going to do it) were able to defend against it before Sukuna could actually use it and hit them.
@@numbers1476 No, originally he had to do both Enma hand signs and the chants, BUT he was missing a hand and couldnt do the signs. So he imposed a binding vow to let him skip the requirements to do it one time, in exchange for having to aim it with his palm. and yes, its pretty confusing, it does seem like it says he added both chants and aiming part. But actually, it first talks about the hand signs and the hand signs alone bc thats the only part that matters, he could complete the chants, but not the hand signs so they only mention those. then when explaining the full binding vow, it makes enphasis on the aiming part, as in: "Sukuna now needs to complete both chants and signs... *and* guide it with his palm". Idk about you, but to me, that indicates that he only added the last part in, not the entire thing. Plus, it wouldnt make much sense either for such a powerful slash to only require one hand sign to activate at first, or for Sukuna to need to add that much when he has been getting stuff almost for free every other time.
@@rockargen9591 I see where the confusion comes from. I'll just leave it as a difference in interpretation since there really isn't a way for me to go against it. I only came to the conclusion I did because the explanation within the manga completely voids the chants until the last part where it describes the requirements after the binding vow. Although, to be fair, there are a lot of powerful techniques that only have one requirement, such as Comedian, Limitless (only in the case for Gojo), Black Bird Manipulation (although only due to binding vows), and Bom Ba Ye (which should've killed Kenjaku).
I do think they explained Sukuna's chanting and hand signs. Somewhere in an early chapter/episode they said he gave himself extra arms and an extra mouth to be able to chant and sign for himself mid-combat. I also think, yes, Sukuna is bs'ing throughout the fight, but he is also doing exactly what you want a "lawyer sorcerer" to do. Vowing to never use Furnace without the domain to maximise damage makes sense since domains are supposed to be an all out attack that leaves you vulnerable afterwards. Within the logic of the show, it's like saying "I will only use this versatile flame move after doing my sure-fire hit instakill combo". It doesn't make sense, but it's a great minmaxxing strat against harder to kill opponents like Itadori, Gojo, etc. I think the vows and Sukuna's way of handling makes more sense when you process the scope. Man's lived for centuries and will continue to live for centuries. Sure, he's bs'ing his way through this fight, but he's complicating all future fights (decades down the line) and still keeping in mind all his ancient little vows he's been following. It's a bureaucratic nightmare that he's casually adjusting mid-fight.
i feel like the main reason why gojo never used a binding vow is that he's never needed to use one sukuna was probably fucking fighting his life in the heian era while the one time gojo actually had to fucking try was like toji Is it still bullshit stupid that he never used a single one? yeah lmao
sukuna used a stolen technique and cheated with binding vows so hard only to be able to contend with gojo and some people still believe he s actualy stronger than gojo lol. Nevermind gojo being a retard and forgeting that he can fking teleport for miles
people don't' realize this. sukuna was born in a time where people like gojo existed everywhere. thats why sukuna will always be stronger. he had to deal with nonsense sorcerers with ridiculous techniques left and right.
@@raptimeleavebuster5766 if people like gojo were everywhere then sukuna wouldn't have survived the heian era. Maybe people like the other special grade's level was common but not gojos
@@raptimeleavebuster5766 Who, out of everywhere Heian era sorcerer we've seen, is even close to Gojo's level? Sukuna lived in a time where everyone was Yuta's level, not Gojo's.
@@raptimeleavebuster5766 Gojo never existed before, thats the whole point of Sukuna needing Maho to teach him how to evolve his CT so that he can finally kill people like Gojo and thereby become the strongest theoretical being. The advice he gave Jogo about sacrificing everything and reaching Gojo applies to him as well, he had that fire and drive to evolve himself to beat Gojo.
Fraudkuna king of the cheaters at it again literally cheating with impossible binding vows, getting carried by raga and Megumi, and still got his ass whooped.
In my head I’m just imagining the moment Sukuna breaks a vow and starts getting the adverse side effects. It will be the same energy as when aizen started losing and got sealed by kisuke.

@@CordobezVeridan thats the biggest gripe with BVs and throws into questions Gojo v Sukuna fight why Gojo didnt do BVs of his own or had one for his 6E. We ll probably get a big reveal later on but its just straight up bad writing, this is the reason why we werent given the one month training. So Gege could use that to make bs and then maybe or not explain it.😅
My understanding of the furnace binding vow was that before the vow it was slow but could be used on multiple people inside and outside the domain. After the binding vow it was slow outside the domain and could only be used on one person, and inside the domain it was faster. Importantly the big explosion in 259 is not just furnace. Sukuna's domain turns everything to dust because of the slashes and dust catches fire really easily, the furnace is just the spark that causes the big explosion.
Dust doesn't actually catch fire that easily, it's only dust that's ALREADY made of stuff that catches fire, like flour or sugar, dust from concrete and rubble (the lind of dist that would be there in the battle field) wouldn't catch fire because concrete itself doesn't catch fire, I don't know who came up with that explanation but it's just another asspull.
@@abdobelbida7170Well, I mean Sukuna lived during the Heian Era where there was wood and other flammable materials. Plus, what about the materials INSIDE the buildings?
@@robotizedcyborg7788 this vaccum bomb thing is being brought up in context of last chapter so not just heian era stuff. not everything inside the building is made of flammable stuff(kinda for the same reason as the building itself), there just isn't enough of the flammable stuff to blow up everything as we saw.
@@abdobelbida7170wasn’t it stated that the CE of fire arrow is what explodes “everything is coated in flammable cursed energy” iirc, so it wouldn’t be the concrete and metal, but the energy of the domain going off and causing tons of blasts
I feel like Gege is setting up a scenerio where Sukuna contradicts his binding vows to the point where he gets a penalty that he can't come back from. Kinda like Sukuna setting himself up to lose.
@@ralframirez700 well it was already stated by kenjaku that breaking a binding vow with yourself doesn't result in any severe consequences, you just lose what you bargained for, and even without that we all know how gege is at this point, sukuna's 1# fan.
I cried so bad at choso dying, todo coming after I have been waiting for those two to meet, gregory I'm beating you up in minecraft. I had to download the choso npc in stardew valley to cope.
Someone finally gets it! Binding vows are the most bs thing in JJK. Don’t like the parameters of the trade? Just break it and make a new one. Free of consequences…
Stop the bs about what happened after binding vows and focus on actual vow and equivalent exchange. Space cutting dismantle. To skip a step one time he has to add an extra step all the time. Kamino. To skip range on multiple people outside, he adds range in domain so speed wouldn't matter. That's the definition of equivalent exchange. Sukuna is just smart af.
@@bu11ymaguirethe problem is that unlike nen restrictions, it seems binding vows can be abused because they don’t take into account the user’s ulterior motives. It’s like the example he gave of the car in the video. Who cares that I lose this or that ability if I never really plan to use it in that way and benefit immensely in the way that I will actually use it (furnace in an enclosed space filled with suspended flammable particles). Nana I’d is simple and elegant: Give up 80% during work hours, get 120% during off hours. As equivalent as it gets. FAIR. Sukuna’s is more like, give up the ability to swim to run at super speed oh and by the way I never plan to get in water lmao. Anyway I don’t think it’s as narratively poor as other people but it definitely opens a plot hole that Gojo did not use any busted ass binding vows in his fight.
@@gerharddamm5933 what's ulterior motives in equivalent exchange? You cant kill someone with 1 lac. But you can with a 100k gun. So the idea is to buy a gun in exchange of equal value. Binding vow doesn't give af what you do with the gun if you exchange it with 100k. In retrospect, 80% at work hour is also busted if you only work when you are 120%. It depends. Binding vow doesn't give af. That's why smart people get away with manipulation. Btw what would you want gojo to do? A sure hit uv hit. Binding vows dont really work that well in gojos case.
@@bu11ymaguire the fact binding vows can be made instantly on the fly with no time restrictions or spamming restrictions completely dismantles your argument. Not to mention that Sukuna’s “newly forged vow” domain expansion literally looks like a second domain expansion ability. You are telling me that “an escape route”(literally 200 meters away from the center)is a fair trade for infinite targeting ability? Yeah right lol
@@julioforessi1336 you can break binding vows with yourself with no consequences. You only lose what you gained, and you can make the vow again as if nothing happened
I never got hakaris binding vow to sacrifice his arm to save his life. Like that isn’t equivalent exchange, that’s just straight up a win. Would much rather be alive with one arm than dead. I haven’t finished the video but I’m sure it’s great as always
I think its most likely he sacreficed haveing cursed energy protect him in his arm to increase reinforcement in the rest of his body kinda like what gon did vs the bomber sacrificing his hand to be able to use that nen in charging his gagonken
I feel you on the leaks. For me, it's TCB Scans or nothing. But it sucks that we NEED fan translations cuz the official translations are more dogwater than a Geto plan
I'mma be real; I see it coming, but if Todo AND Yuuji die for Megumi's folding ass, I don't know if there's enough alcohol to cope with this. I don't wanna live in a world where Mr. Sister Complex and Miss I-groom-my-brother are the primary survivors.
The problem is the price, the prices for getting huge power in jujutsu are too low in comparison to the reward, now, take Kurapika for example, his eyes take his life away when he uses then and his chain jail will kill him if he uses in anything that is not phantom troupe, which are a group of people amongst thousands of nen users, yeah, his powers are super strong, but he is heavily penalised for it
SPOILER FOR THE HXH MANGA IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT PAST THE ANIME Even if you compare arguably the most asspull nen vow in HXH I can think of which is Hisoka making Bungee Gum restart his heart after Chrollo kills him, it's not guaranteed that it would work at all. We never see anyone come back like that up to this point and he's just trying it out on a whim. Compare it to Hakari, he's vowing a limb he's gonna regen anyway to another shot at life. It would make more impact if he say, sacrificed his arm but he could no longer use RCT on it.
@@arogel1999 For the bungee gum, it is a bit abusive of “nen after death” and I hope we get to see some other consequences on Hisoka (is he a zombie withering away?) because right now it seems like he got a 1-UP and a nen buff for no price at all. Tbf, the Hakari one is one of the better written BVs . He did not sacrifice an arm for his life. He sacrificed energy reinforcement on his arm to boost it higher than he could otherwise on the rest of his body. THIS WAS NOT GUARANTEED TO SAVE HIM. Hakari GAMBLED it would be enough to survive the explosion but he had no way of knowing. It fits the character and it’s an energy exchange comparable to the goated Overtime BV.
@@gerharddamm5933Except nen that become stronger after death isn't a nen vow, Hisoka used his bungee gum around his heart in the hope that after he dies his bungee gum would gain a significant boost to restart his heart. There was no vow nor exchange. As The 2nd prince of Kakin, Camilla says, nen that becomes stronger after death is the most powerful nen that exists.
Binding Vows is whatever the author wants them to be, even if it retcons what they were earlier or completely throws the established logic out of the window. Good writing? Never heard of it.
If anyone is saying sukuna is not serious they are coping harder then gojo fans Sukuna literally used 2-3 vows mid battle to get W's he would've lost otherwise 1 bypassing the world slash requirement to kill gojo 2 making a domain held by duck tape 3 and using the fire arrow with the dollar store domain (not sure if it was or not)
The World Dismantle binding vow was to let him use it with one hand to kill Gojo in exchange for needing chants and hand seals for all future uses. Expanding Malevolent Shrine with a one handed seal and sacrificing none of its power was in exchange for the domain only being able to stay open for 99 seconds. The Furnace arrows can only be used in 1v1s outside his domain. And inside Malevolent Shrine he has to slice everything up with Cleave and Dismantle in order to "preheat" the furnace. (This being how he killed Mahoraga back in Shibuya.)
Imagine if that fraud of Gojo actually used a binding vow to restore it’s body but at the cost of the six eyes as everyone was theorizing, yeah just imagine. No, imma die a fraud
binding vows should be pyrrhic in nature, like "I'll sacrifice all of my strength forever just to make this one swing" the only way to win with a binding vow is to actually give up. Like yeah I sacrificed all my strength in this moment because I never had any intention of being a warrior. Or "yeah I'll sacrifice 20% of my power for a boost I may never actually need and even if it does work there's a ton of my cursed energy/power that will just never be useful to me."
next chapters sukuna going to make the binding vow if his heart stops the merger starts since gege tops sukuna so good i wouldn’t be surprised if that happened
I feel like the binding vow used against Gojo was complete bullshit. Considering that if Sukuna didn't use a binding vow right then and there, he would've LITERALLY DIED. Either that or he would transform with no ce, rct or anything meaning he still dies either way. You'd think that in exchange for killing someone of your strength level instantly while you're at deaths door would require you to permanently sacrifice 75% of your cursed energy or outright losing your cursed techniques but the only thing he lost was being able to use the insta-kill world slash without hand signs and chants.
Yeah, I feel like a lot of people that say it’s not broken and just smart aren’t seeing the real issue: Binding vows seem to ignore context. They happen in a vacuum and disregard how the user will take advantage at the moment. Makes sense to exchange having to put a new restriction on something every time you use it for a one time buff (no signs), sure. But in the context of the fight at that moment you’re exchanging future inconvenience FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE. THAT is what is exploitable about the vows, which I don’t remember being as much of a loophole in nen contracts.
@gerharddamm5933 binding vows are also a lot more uh concrete and formal compared to most hxh vows. Kurapika had to enforce his own vow with another ability they can't let you just modify abilities on the fly
@@gerharddamm5933I stand by the opinion that binding vows generally making sense and are not nearly as bad as people make it out to be but this is incredibly well put and is why that moment, even after the binding vows reveal, doesn't quite sit right with me.
Whole thing that makes BV's powerful and abusable is they ignore context, so just simply not having to chant for this one slash, at the cost of whatever he put the downside as is a fair trade, because the BV didn't know it was gonna be used in life or death, and the BV didn't know sukuna can now do world slash with a full charged dismantle, stop complaining about stuff that made sense
Me watching as Sukuna (the king of vows) makes a binding vow to get the powers of Alien X, Thanos, Goku, Rimuru, Saitama and the ten eyes (eyes that one shot any living organism Sukuna looks at) but 26 of his ass hairs are lost (peak writing):
Honestly, if I was in Gojo's position, I would've traded either my Six Eyes or Limitless against something powerful enough to oneshot Sukuna. Gojo did lead a super isolated and detached life anyway because of how strong he was and he managed to find some pretty powerful sorcerers who could shoulder his burden of having to basically protect the entire jujutsu world together with him. So losing one of those two abilities in exchange for turning Sukuna into mashed potatoes seems like a fair trade to me.
I dont get how the punishment for breaking a binding vow with yourself is only losing what you gain. Like is it literally just a face value lose what it gave you? Cause in that case wouldnt you just make a one time Miwa “i will never use this ability again” to buff it and then just break the vow the next time you want to use the ability?
Honestly the problem with binding vows is no visual sign of one happening. The amount he has made/what they have accomplished have all been fine (except the domain expansion one) but whenever they all have to be revealed later of a “oh by the way, 5 chapters ago this is how Sukuna got out of that” feels cheaper than it should be. If he saw that he made one, and then later learned the details of it, then it’d feel more natural
Without fully understanding the current part of the Manga. I imagine all these binding vows are going to be his downfall. It sounds like hes trading power for what sounds like minor restrictions but I think there is something poetic if it ends up being his downfall
If Miwa can use vows, anybody can, i don't think we should attribute this abuse to "uh well he's the king of jujutsu that's why he can" if vows took any skill to do, that would be true but Sukunas vows aren't even big brain at all. We just have to take his word for it
The worst is by far the world slash, “I get to do it with one hand and half death in exchange of now having to use it with some extra hand signs and enchants” while also being an algamation that has an extra mouth and extra pair of arms.
What people don't understand or keep forgetting is that jujutsu sorcerers are con artists. Most binding vows with oneself are straightfoward a form of self hypnosis. Binding vows like the ones Miwa used against Kenjaku and Sukuna did to kill Gojo are the exception. And they are too serious for the sorcerer to dare violate it. But the ones where Sukuna says that Malevolent Shrine should be stronger because it allows for a escape round, are mental ginastics sorcerers use to adjust their power to their circunstances. The goal is to get away with more than you bargained for. Sukuna new domain forces to be a sitting duck and is a clear prodict of desperation.
Weird why Gojo realized that it would be tough as fuck to fire off Hollow: Purple and never made a binding vow to make it simpler Like "I restrict the target to only Sukuna and no one else, in order to be able to fire it off instantaneously". A hell of a moment that would have been.

Gregory lowkey making sukuna look like the king of bs binding vows ngl
Because he is
Binding vows are by default bullshit when limit and rules are not established .
I think the furnace bv makes sense, he exploited the effect because a bv doesn't look at the potential damage you can do, only if the exchange is roughly the same, which in a vaacum it is, it's just that sukuna knew about the interaction of fire with dust particles.
He basically found a loophole that made his mediocre technique into a massive nuke
Look like? That’s the only way greg knows how to write off sukuna on the ropes. And it’s not even like the vows make him give up all that much; “oh, but he made a binding vow to not eat Mac and cheese for 10 minutes to gain enough strength to neg diff these high schoolers”
the one he made to world slash Gojo in exhancge that he has to violently telegraph every one afterwards only seems not bs because he’s so goddamn battered and bruised atp. Were he to have gone Heian era form and be completely fresh the vow would amount to nothing cause he legit outstats everyone
@@wilsonsanabia4259not only that but he can only use Furnace under very specific conditions AND he gives us the sure hit effect of his domain on people. I don't see how people can't view that as a trade-off

@@ultradeathboyhe could sacrifice his probably furnace technique (if he has cuts then he has the fire) and turn his divergent fist into black flashes

I need Sukuna to take an L because of a binding vow; that’s the only way using them so freely, casually, with no explanation, can have some sort of meaning to the story.
He's already taken Ls, He can't spam wsc which he would've been able too if he didnt use binding vows and while its indirect he cant use his cursed technique very well now because of domain which he opened with binding vow
Can you people fucken read?
Stop the bs about what happened after binding vows and focus on actual vow and equivalent exchange.
Space cutting dismantle. To skip a step one time he has to add an extra step all the time.
Kamino. To skip range on multiple people outside, he adds range in domain so speed wouldn't matter.
That's the definition of equivalent exchange. Sukuna is just smart af.

hakari healing his whole body in exchange for an arm is like trading a Charizard card for another Charizard, two mewtwos, a rayquaza, and a blastoise
To be fair that vow is commonly misunderstood. It was that his vow traded an arm for his life directly, it was a cursed energy reinforcement vow that stated in exchange for not protecting his arm at all, he would protect the rest of his body to a greater degree and that happened to save his life. He effectively just gambled that losing an arm would be enough to protect himself. It was an indirect trade that worked out for him.
@@scrubnub6203 it also aided more that without his arm he couldnt access domain afterwards. People gotta understand the vows work from the perspective of the maker and what they value. Sure the charizard trade is dumb on paper but not when that card was his first ever pkm card that he received from his late grandmother. (Not a great example tho bc trading would be an example of a BV between 2 individuals) as sukuna abuses self imposed vows
Sorry for the autism
@@BuhLayr Yep, Without an arm, he can't open another domain, which made his binding vow even stronger since its not simply just 'exchanging an arm'. There is a lot of downsides to Hakari and his Jujutsu as well.

depends of how many vows exactly did he use for shrine. But he has used like 15 in total probably:
to Yuji, to Jogo, to Kenjaku, for his domain battles with Gojo he used around 5, he used one for world cut, he used multiple for his domain expansion, and the binding vow for Fuga.
and i dont think there were many vows in the series before this.
@@idkwhattoputherelol-c1dBinding vow technique would go hard

Revealing ones hand fucks because not only does it give an excuse to explain your power it's basically telling your enemy how your gonna fuck them up while letting them know they can't stop it
I like how there was two sides of the whole thing.
Gojo vs Jogo: Gojo tell Jogo his technique for no reason other than shits and giggles, bro was already way more powerful than Jogo
Sukuna vs Jogo: "Revealing my technique is cheating and I'm not gonna do that to win, I'll just defeat you and as you're dying you'll wonder what the f*ck I used against you"
the best part about 'revealing ones hand' is that it works the best for curse techniques that are so unorthodox that explaining them makes it even more confusing to predict because you end up getting way too in your own head about it. Case in point, that vow with Boogie Woogie is terrifying, because the more you over-analyze Boogie Woogie the more likely you'll fall for the tricks
When I read the latest chapter I was like, “This would not fly as a nen restriction” lmao

i said that last chapter, Sukuna traded 2/3 of his domain expansion's duration in exchange for:
Getting his domain back in the first place.
using the domain with only one hand.
the domain getting back its 100% output and range (or 140m, it says its the same as the Shibuya domain) even after all of the nerfs he got.
and the domain trapping the Yuji in the middle despite Yuji not being close to the shrine itself.

“Open the furnace
And unleash fire
Without these binding vows
I will retire”
- Ryomen “Binding Vow Man” Sukuna
The biggest problem with the binding vows Sukuna uses is the fact that it is often used to retroactively explain things rather than set them up
“In exchange for one instant world slash he now has to do a chant with every following one”
That would be cool if he used world slash beforehand multiple times, showing what a menace it is without the chant and explaining the need for the instant slash so it didn’t feel like as asspull as he offscreened Gojo. Instead we just saw the chant as how world slash worked before the binding vow revealed
“Fire arrow can only hit one target except in the domain where it can chain react explode everything”
Neat! Would be nice if we got to see that fire arrow struggled when being used or got told that it works by detonating a target and were shown it can only hit one thing BEFORE the explanation why. Instead it’s just a huge info dump
“Sukuna’s domain can only let living things freely pass in and out of it to keep all the dust in”
Since when could Sukuna do this? Is this a binding vow? Is this just something he can do? Would have been a lot better if we saw that objects couldn’t leave BEFORE being told
Sukuna’s vows would be FAAAAR more acceptable if we saw the full story. People don’t go around calling Hakari’s vow an asspull because leaving your arm defenseless to reinforce the rest of your body makes sense and is a fair trade off. Sukuna’s on the other hand feel like they traded very little for the most W upsides ever because of how they are presented narratively
It doesn’t help that the consequence to a binding vow is, as far as we know, the vow just being reverted. It begs the question of why people don’t do the “one time super move in exchange for something else” and then just immediately break said vow because, as far as we know, there is no reason you can’t
@@beywheelzhater8930 your last point is really whats so weird about the binding vows. lets take miwa as an example: she vowed to never use a sword again to empower one attack. If she broke the vow by using a sword again, what exactly would she lose? (especially because that attack ended up doing nothing)
@@Oearli maybe that’s why the swing was so weak, the vow is destined to be broken

@@Oearli Apparently, the potency of the vow varies depending on how much the sorcerer values what they're losing, which kind of implies that Miwa didn't really care about swordsmanship.
@@Yidam-te1zq which doesnt anwer my question. whats stopping her from breaking the vow? she would technically lose nothing by doing it
Mechamaru's binding vow with Kenjaku is actually pretty interesting because it's the only binding vow where no side had to sacrifice anything. Sure Mechamaru has to betray his friends but it didn't directly hurt him, and all Kenjaku had to do for his side of the arrangement was have Mahito heal Mechamaru which literally doesn't sacrifice anything on their side, it took Mahito five seconds to transfigure him and heal him and didn't cost any cursed energy
I think the vow was that mechamaru betraying jujutsu tech and in exchange he gets his body back
@@hassanhassan-os5oqyes but like I said that doesn't directly affect him, so he got his body fully healed and didn't have to sacrifice anything
@@ultradeathboy I'm pretty sure a binding vow between people doesn't have the need for sacrifice
Yea @@hassanhassan-os5oq
Binding vows between people are just deals with consequences. Its like telling someone "I promise not to tell anyone" after they tell you a secret but if you tell someone the secret you'll explode or something. Binding vows with yourself have to be equal because you're basically trading 2 ideas with yourself "I can't sing ever again but now I can dance really well."
Nanami’s binding vow and the “Reveal one’s hand” binding vow are peak and i wish we got more like them. And i didn’t even think about how good Higuruma could’ve been with binding vows.
Reveal one's hand is absolute peak
don't worry, Gege didn't think of it either
Am I the only one that dislikes Revealing One's Hand? Why do manga/anime constantly need to have their powers explained from the source? Why can't the character's just figure it out as they're fighting? It just feels like a lazy way, a get out of jail free card, to have characters talk about their powers. Also do we ever see just how much more powerful they get after the explanation? Because to me it looks like nothing changes.
@@paledrake Characters actually barely use it as far as I know
@@paledrakeeh, I think it works. In JJK, some explaining IS done. But alot of figuring out happens too. Like when Sukuna figures out MAHORSGA technique or like Yuji getting caught out by all of Choso's insane blood techniques.

"The Art of Binding Vows." -Ryomen C. Sukuna, CEO of Shrine Inc.
He actually made a binding vow with Gege in the Heian Era to be able to use infinite vows
instead of being mad at Sukuna for being a Vow merchant we should be mad at everyone else for not abusing this clearly broken feature
It's not broken. And Sukuna just have years of experience on making a specific vow and to exploit its loophole. Plus even he's not invincible, the Vows he's been making all these times are slowly taking tolls on him. Why do you think he's been unable to heal all his arms?
Its not broken though. Sukuna being the strongest naturally means he can sacrifice more things in order for victory. Meanwhile there's almost nothing that other characters with less skill can put in order to get a meaningful outcome. And really the only bs binding vow he used was the fire arrow one which the tradeoff isnt even reveal yet
It is kinda broken tho
It could just be that sukuna is more experienced at making vows that work out more for him.
So from what we are understanding, binding vows could help certain characters during battle a lot as long as they sacrifice something in order to gain or maintain a certain advantage. Its just that its kind of not really the time for experimenting right now
So we should be mad at a fictional character instead of the incompetent writer?
I think more people don't do it because it requires taking a very calculated risk. You could have a situation like Hakari where a good usage of binding vow is literally the difference between life and death with little to no downside or you can have a situation like Miwa where you do absolutely no damage and now you can no longer fight.
One injustice I will never accept from Gege is not letting us see Todo interact with more characters. Like, you're telling me the woman that shaped and defined his entire Persona and shifted his entire life as we know it shares 3 lines of dialogue with him in the 260 chapters of the manga? She was on screen with the crew for several chapters and we ain't even so much as heard a single "Oh hey, how've you been kid?"
Doesn't even get to interact with Choso or nothing either. Too many characters don't get to sit down and breathe with other characters before they get murked.
Sukuna is that kid on the Playground where my "powers do this and that if you do this and that" lol.
Reminds me of Nanika is HxH except Nanika would kill almost anyone unless it is Killua.
No you don't get it. Killua was the only one that knew how her powers worked. Anyone else could get what they wanted without consequence if they knew his method.
@@s3eriousbl9ck26 i know killua knows how her power work. So its like Sukuna is the only one who knows how binding vow works since it doesnt look like he sacrifices much.
I was at work when I read the chapter and I cried a bit for Choso. It gave me heavy nanami vibes so now I’m worried about todo getting nobara’d.
Jokes aside, amazing analysis of the plot device that is binding vows.
Truly one of the peer-reviewed science essays
Todo would be the strongest by far if he made a binding vow to never speak to or listen to his Idol again...
bro would surpass any and all sorcerers with that bv
Maybe Sukuna is so delusional that he holds everything he owns to a higher level than everything else, so regardless of what he trades a Binding Vow works
(The Choujin X video has been confirmed)
Can somebody genuinely tell me this: How does Sukuna, tearing off Yuji's finger, and force feeding it to Megumi does not break the conditions for the 'Enchain' binding vow? The ones which specified Sukuna won't harm or kill anyone during the 1 minute he's in control. Hell, even if we assume the finger tearing doesn't count because Yuji's selflessness or something, still, he force fed that shit to Megumi. Grabbed his face and shoved it down his throat. Seems harmful to me. Did potential man just enjoy it so the binding vow didn't break or what? Does grabbing someone's face and shoving down a torn off finger down their mouth not count as harm?
FAX
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR MONTHS.
BUMgumi's bum particles were so incredibly ass that they made the binding vow turn off, as even a piece of the power system could not hold a good fight against BUMgumi's stench. However, Sukuna has been known to love bums (Uraume and Megumi), giving him an easy chance to change bodies.
Sukuna really thought he was smart with the "myself isn't included in "anyone""
Dumb as hell
He also hit Hana/Angel to knock her out. How did that not count as hurting someone? He even says “oh no I broke the vow I hope nothing happens! This is a gamble from here on out” and then Gege tries to write a “gotcha!” moment of “oh well anyone doesn’t include MYSELF!” But he already hurt Hana/Angel??? 😭
To me, binding bows sounds like an euphemism to "The source is that I made it the fuck up"
5:36 I felt this in my soul! Megumi needs to lock in fr.
Sukuna boutta get married with all these vows he’s throwing out
Even for his own nephew 😂
7:37 - I can see why Gojo THOUGHT Sukuna was holding back, his 6-eyes PROBABLY told him Sukuna had a fire attack he didn't used, and a +1 life he also didn't used, that's why he THOUGHT Sukuna wasn't going all out, but then WE AS VIEWERS learn that he was just trying to hard he could'nt use FUGGA Lmao, but Gojo as a IN-UNIVERSE character, probably didn't knew that
Sukuna is going to be held together by tape and spit if he walks victorious from the gauntlet.
Sukuna bribed the person who passes binding vows, bro really hit Gojo with the “I will get a free large mc chicken meal at the cost of Gojo dying”
Yep, this explains it perfectly. Sukuna is seemingly able to use binding vows by either giving up nothing or giving up something retroactively that we didn't know he had. They are still great when used properly tho.
Sukuna has made 3 binding vows thus far within the battle. I'll try to explain some of them as well as what he sacrificed.
The first binding vow that Sukuna did was to use the World Slash instantly, in exchange for extra requirements to activate the slash. He basically needs three arms (one to point the trajectory of the slash and two to make the Enmaten hand sign) and needs to chant in order to pull it off. It is because of this binding vow that Sukuna can no longer use this move since he only has two hands, and thus lost one of his most powerful techniuqes. The World Slash's nerfs are also why Maki and Kusakabe (although Kusakabe was told by Sukuna that he was gonna use it) was able to properly defend against it.
The second binding vow that Sukuna made was to sacrifice the ability to use Furnace on multiple targets and that he can only use the technique in 1v1 situations in order to strengthen the speed and range of the technique. The only time that this doesn't apply is when Sukuna is using Domain Expansion. It is worth noting that because of this binding vow, Sukuna can no longer use Furnace anymore since he is unable to do anymore Domain Expansions (hopefully) and because he is almost always in a 1v2+ scenario.
The third binding vow was related to opening his Domain in the first place. Honestly, I can't give you an answer of what Sukuna sacrified since Gege doesn't tell us. This is the only binding vow that isn't explained in good detail and is the most valid when it comes with people's issue with binding vows.
This is not anything to defend binding vows and their use of just being plot devices, but he is still at least sacrificing SOMETHING and it is impacting his performance and his future performance.
@@numbers1476 Yea, I'm aware of all of that.
I'm perfectly fine with what Sukuna lost in the World Slash BV. I'd much prefer it was revealed earlier since it left people wondering how he'd used it vs Gojo, but I'm fine with it.
The Kamino BV is unnecessary and weird. Not only was he giving up something we didn't know he had to begin with (giving up Kamino's potential for AoE damage), but this wasn't even needed in the first place. Gege could've removed this BV entirely and nothing changes. Just make Kamino not suck ass in range and speed (we've only seen it used twice before now and it has never been dodged so this would still make sense).
Sukuna would still have to use Cleave and Dismantle to unlock Kamino and can still use it in his DE explosion attack.
If anything, the BV should've been that Sukuna intentionally locks Kamino behind Cleave and Dismantle in exchange for the same benefits.
And we agree on the domain expansion BV, nothing more needs to be said.
@@numbers1476 I like how you claim the 3rd one is the only one with issues while at the same time having 'hopefully' in your explaination of BV 2 for him popping a domain.
@@axis1247 Mainly because that statement was made before it was confirmed that Sukuna could use his Domain Expansion again lol. I was simply making an educated guess and assumed that the Domain Expansion took a lot of CE from him and he couldn't do it again, and thus making the Binding Vow go into effect.
@@obe1_kenobi Your suggestion of BV still falls under your issue of "giving up something retroactively that we didn't know he had" and "nothing changes". Even then, it doesn't really matter much because that is the reason why Gege tells us what the BV was so we know what he had previously and what he gained, especially since it isn't inconsistent and aligns with how it was used previously for the most part. It is something that is essentially just a non-issue.
5:08 what in the Balkan Kaisen is this? Now I must subscribe.
the worst part about the world cut binding vow is that he already had to do the hand signs and chants. What he exchanged for skipping those steps and (seemingly) making it invisible to the six eyes, was that he now needs to (and get this) aim it with his hand... such a fair binding vow, literally saved his life and all it takes for him to do it now is pointing his hand at something. Amazing.
Prior to the binding vow, the only condition to use the World Slash was just the enmaten hand sign. It is only after the binding vow that he needs the conditions of chants. Because of the binding vow, the requirement of World Slash is 3 arms (one to aim the trajectory of the slash and two to do the Enmaten hand sign) and he needs to chant. It is worth noting that World Slash would be COMPLETELY unusable if it wasn't for Sukuna's true form, and is also the reason why he can't use the World Slash now since he only has two arms. The fact that the move is so telegraphed is the reason why people like Maki and Kusakabe (although Sukuna basically told him he was going to do it) were able to defend against it before Sukuna could actually use it and hit them.
@@numbers1476 No, originally he had to do both Enma hand signs and the chants, BUT he was missing a hand and couldnt do the signs. So he imposed a binding vow to let him skip the requirements to do it one time, in exchange for having to aim it with his palm. and yes, its pretty confusing, it does seem like it says he added both chants and aiming part. But actually, it first talks about the hand signs and the hand signs alone bc thats the only part that matters, he could complete the chants, but not the hand signs so they only mention those. then when explaining the full binding vow, it makes enphasis on the aiming part, as in: "Sukuna now needs to complete both chants and signs... *and* guide it with his palm". Idk about you, but to me, that indicates that he only added the last part in, not the entire thing. Plus, it wouldnt make much sense either for such a powerful slash to only require one hand sign to activate at first, or for Sukuna to need to add that much when he has been getting stuff almost for free every other time.
@@rockargen9591 I see where the confusion comes from. I'll just leave it as a difference in interpretation since there really isn't a way for me to go against it. I only came to the conclusion I did because the explanation within the manga completely voids the chants until the last part where it describes the requirements after the binding vow.
Although, to be fair, there are a lot of powerful techniques that only have one requirement, such as Comedian, Limitless (only in the case for Gojo), Black Bird Manipulation (although only due to binding vows), and Bom Ba Ye (which should've killed Kenjaku).
We NEED to see what happens when we get one broken. Having them broken is needed after we see them utilized so damned much.
I do think they explained Sukuna's chanting and hand signs. Somewhere in an early chapter/episode they said he gave himself extra arms and an extra mouth to be able to chant and sign for himself mid-combat.
I also think, yes, Sukuna is bs'ing throughout the fight, but he is also doing exactly what you want a "lawyer sorcerer" to do. Vowing to never use Furnace without the domain to maximise damage makes sense since domains are supposed to be an all out attack that leaves you vulnerable afterwards. Within the logic of the show, it's like saying "I will only use this versatile flame move after doing my sure-fire hit instakill combo". It doesn't make sense, but it's a great minmaxxing strat against harder to kill opponents like Itadori, Gojo, etc.
I think the vows and Sukuna's way of handling makes more sense when you process the scope. Man's lived for centuries and will continue to live for centuries. Sure, he's bs'ing his way through this fight, but he's complicating all future fights (decades down the line) and still keeping in mind all his ancient little vows he's been following. It's a bureaucratic nightmare that he's casually adjusting mid-fight.
World Slash is just a modified Dismantle. Without using the binding vow he'd just turn all of his regular slashes into "world-cutting" ones.
i feel like the main reason why gojo never used a binding vow is that he's never needed to use one
sukuna was probably fucking fighting his life in the heian era while the one time gojo actually had to fucking try was like toji
Is it still bullshit stupid that he never used a single one? yeah lmao
sukuna used a stolen technique and cheated with binding vows so hard only to be able to contend with gojo and some people still believe he s actualy stronger than gojo lol. Nevermind gojo being a retard and forgeting that he can fking teleport for miles
people don't' realize this.
sukuna was born in a time where people like gojo existed everywhere.
thats why sukuna will always be stronger.
he had to deal with nonsense sorcerers with ridiculous techniques left and right.
@@raptimeleavebuster5766 if people like gojo were everywhere then sukuna wouldn't have survived the heian era. Maybe people like the other special grade's level was common but not gojos
@@raptimeleavebuster5766 Who, out of everywhere Heian era sorcerer we've seen, is even close to Gojo's level? Sukuna lived in a time where everyone was Yuta's level, not Gojo's.
@@raptimeleavebuster5766 Gojo never existed before, thats the whole point of Sukuna needing Maho to teach him how to evolve his CT so that he can finally kill people like Gojo and thereby become the strongest theoretical being. The advice he gave Jogo about sacrificing everything and reaching Gojo applies to him as well, he had that fire and drive to evolve himself to beat Gojo.
Fraudkuna king of the cheaters at it again literally cheating with impossible binding vows, getting carried by raga and Megumi, and still got his ass whooped.
In my head I’m just imagining the moment Sukuna breaks a vow and starts getting the adverse side effects. It will be the same energy as when aizen started losing and got sealed by kisuke.
Me doing a binding vow to sell my will to leave in exchange for an extra cheesy crust filled pizza with a side of Garlic sauce and drizzled hot honey on top
Jolly maybe if we were *TOLD* what the vows are and what the *LOSS* is we wouldn't have a problem right genji?
Yeah Gege just tells us "Sukuna used a BV" and refuses to elaborate further.
It's crazy how he hid the World Slash BV for 20 fucking chapters.
@@CordobezVeridan thats the biggest gripe with BVs and throws into questions Gojo v Sukuna fight why Gojo didnt do BVs of his own or had one for his 6E. We ll probably get a big reveal later on but its just straight up bad writing, this is the reason why we werent given the one month training. So Gege could use that to make bs and then maybe or not explain it.😅
My understanding of the furnace binding vow was that before the vow it was slow but could be used on multiple people inside and outside the domain. After the binding vow it was slow outside the domain and could only be used on one person, and inside the domain it was faster. Importantly the big explosion in 259 is not just furnace. Sukuna's domain turns everything to dust because of the slashes and dust catches fire really easily, the furnace is just the spark that causes the big explosion.
Dust doesn't actually catch fire that easily, it's only dust that's ALREADY made of stuff that catches fire, like flour or sugar, dust from concrete and rubble (the lind of dist that would be there in the battle field) wouldn't catch fire because concrete itself doesn't catch fire, I don't know who came up with that explanation but it's just another asspull.
@@abdobelbida7170Well, I mean Sukuna lived during the Heian Era where there was wood and other flammable materials. Plus, what about the materials INSIDE the buildings?
@@robotizedcyborg7788 this vaccum bomb thing is being brought up in context of last chapter so not just heian era stuff.
not everything inside the building is made of flammable stuff(kinda for the same reason as the building itself), there just isn't enough of the flammable stuff to blow up everything as we saw.
@@abdobelbida7170wasn’t it stated that the CE of fire arrow is what explodes “everything is coated in flammable cursed energy” iirc, so it wouldn’t be the concrete and metal, but the energy of the domain going off and causing tons of blasts
@@BudewFan_ it was but it sounds like another asspull, we had no hint before that sukuna's CE was flammable before.
"Boli Gege-a kita da nam objasni" 😂😂😂
I feel like Gege is setting up a scenerio where Sukuna contradicts his binding vows to the point where he gets a penalty that he can't come back from. Kinda like Sukuna setting himself up to lose.
No he isn't.
@@abdobelbida7170 And why is that? You have not even stated your reasons as to why.
@@ralframirez700 well it was already stated by kenjaku that breaking a binding vow with yourself doesn't result in any severe consequences, you just lose what you bargained for, and even without that we all know how gege is at this point, sukuna's 1# fan.
@@abdobelbida7170 That is a fair take on it.
I cried so bad at choso dying, todo coming after I have been waiting for those two to meet, gregory I'm beating you up in minecraft. I had to download the choso npc in stardew valley to cope.
Someone finally gets it! Binding vows are the most bs thing in JJK. Don’t like the parameters of the trade? Just break it and make a new one. Free of consequences…
Stop the bs about what happened after binding vows and focus on actual vow and equivalent exchange.
Space cutting dismantle. To skip a step one time he has to add an extra step all the time.
Kamino. To skip range on multiple people outside, he adds range in domain so speed wouldn't matter.
That's the definition of equivalent exchange. Sukuna is just smart af.
@@bu11ymaguirethe problem is that unlike nen restrictions, it seems binding vows can be abused because they don’t take into account the user’s ulterior motives. It’s like the example he gave of the car in the video. Who cares that I lose this or that ability if I never really plan to use it in that way and benefit immensely in the way that I will actually use it (furnace in an enclosed space filled with suspended flammable particles). Nana I’d is simple and elegant: Give up 80% during work hours, get 120% during off hours. As equivalent as it gets. FAIR. Sukuna’s is more like, give up the ability to swim to run at super speed oh and by the way I never plan to get in water lmao.
Anyway I don’t think it’s as narratively poor as other people but it definitely opens a plot hole that Gojo did not use any busted ass binding vows in his fight.
@@gerharddamm5933 what's ulterior motives in equivalent exchange?
You cant kill someone with 1 lac. But you can with a 100k gun.
So the idea is to buy a gun in exchange of equal value.
Binding vow doesn't give af what you do with the gun if you exchange it with 100k.
In retrospect, 80% at work hour is also busted if you only work when you are 120%.
It depends.
Binding vow doesn't give af. That's why smart people get away with manipulation.
Btw what would you want gojo to do?
A sure hit uv hit. Binding vows dont really work that well in gojos case.
@@bu11ymaguire the fact binding vows can be made instantly on the fly with no time restrictions or spamming restrictions completely dismantles your argument. Not to mention that Sukuna’s “newly forged vow” domain expansion literally looks like a second domain expansion ability. You are telling me that “an escape route”(literally 200 meters away from the center)is a fair trade for infinite targeting ability? Yeah right lol
@@julioforessi1336 you can break binding vows with yourself with no consequences. You only lose what you gained, and you can make the vow again as if nothing happened
If there is a binding vow on a whim the trade off needs to be a lot bigger. Unless you are daddy Sukuna ~ go slay king.
I never got hakaris binding vow to sacrifice his arm to save his life. Like that isn’t equivalent exchange, that’s just straight up a win. Would much rather be alive with one arm than dead. I haven’t finished the video but I’m sure it’s great as always
I think its most likely he sacreficed haveing cursed energy protect him in his arm to increase reinforcement in the rest of his body kinda like what gon did vs the bomber sacrificing his hand to be able to use that nen in charging his gagonken
It's because he needs both hands to use his domain expansion, which to him is equivalent to saving is life.
@@nathankeel6667 that makes a lot more sense
It was losing an arm to be able to get a stronger curse energy reinforcement
If the explosive was stronger he would've died
@@badroboudjerda4394exactly, it was a gamble that an arm would be enough and it fits the character to instinctively think of it like he did.

Geges binding vow:
The amount of times he GLAZES SUKUNA* his manga gets more popular and he gets richer.
*Glazes other word for GAWK GAWK 3000 BABY
The problem is the price, the prices for getting huge power in jujutsu are too low in comparison to the reward, now, take Kurapika for example, his eyes take his life away when he uses then and his chain jail will kill him if he uses in anything that is not phantom troupe, which are a group of people amongst thousands of nen users, yeah, his powers are super strong, but he is heavily penalised for it
SPOILER FOR THE HXH MANGA IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT PAST THE ANIME
Even if you compare arguably the most asspull nen vow in HXH I can think of which is Hisoka making Bungee Gum restart his heart after Chrollo kills him, it's not guaranteed that it would work at all. We never see anyone come back like that up to this point and he's just trying it out on a whim. Compare it to Hakari, he's vowing a limb he's gonna regen anyway to another shot at life. It would make more impact if he say, sacrificed his arm but he could no longer use RCT on it.
No , he is not , they are as bullshit în HXH as they are în JJK .
@@arogel1999 For the bungee gum, it is a bit abusive of “nen after death” and I hope we get to see some other consequences on Hisoka (is he a zombie withering away?) because right now it seems like he got a 1-UP and a nen buff for no price at all.
Tbf, the Hakari one is one of the better written BVs . He did not sacrifice an arm for his life. He sacrificed energy reinforcement on his arm to boost it higher than he could otherwise on the rest of his body. THIS WAS NOT GUARANTEED TO SAVE HIM. Hakari GAMBLED it would be enough to survive the explosion but he had no way of knowing. It fits the character and it’s an energy exchange comparable to the goated Overtime BV.
@@gerharddamm5933Except nen that become stronger after death isn't a nen vow, Hisoka used his bungee gum around his heart in the hope that after he dies his bungee gum would gain a significant boost to restart his heart. There was no vow nor exchange.
As The 2nd prince of Kakin, Camilla says, nen that becomes stronger after death is the most powerful nen that exists.
@@gaelurquiz5755 Anything constructive ya wanna add?

They're the same picture.
Binding Vows is whatever the author wants them to be, even if it retcons what they were earlier or completely throws the established logic out of the window.
Good writing? Never heard of it.
Lowkey I believe that Gojo was just too stupid to realize that there was a chance that he couldn't win so he didn't feel the need to use a binding vow
If anyone is saying sukuna is not serious they are coping harder then gojo fans
Sukuna literally used 2-3 vows mid battle to get W's he would've lost otherwise
1 bypassing the world slash requirement to kill gojo
2 making a domain held by duck tape
3 and using the fire arrow with the dollar store domain (not sure if it was or not)
its crazy how people still say sukuna wasnt even trying in the fight, like did these people even read the manga??
"Never buy no weed from the gas station" ahh domain
@@pushriathecat1but he isn’t even going all out apparently
The World Dismantle binding vow was to let him use it with one hand to kill Gojo in exchange for needing chants and hand seals for all future uses.
Expanding Malevolent Shrine with a one handed seal and sacrificing none of its power was in exchange for the domain only being able to stay open for 99 seconds.
The Furnace arrows can only be used in 1v1s outside his domain. And inside Malevolent Shrine he has to slice everything up with Cleave and Dismantle in order to "preheat" the furnace. (This being how he killed Mahoraga back in Shibuya.)
@crocoboi7936 that's why I said urame is the worst person to take his words about sukuna because he a glazier
Imagine if that fraud of Gojo actually used a binding vow to restore it’s body but at the cost of the six eyes as everyone was theorizing, yeah just imagine.
No, imma die a fraud
sukuna aboutta win when he starts evaporating from all the vows
binding vows should be pyrrhic in nature, like "I'll sacrifice all of my strength forever just to make this one swing" the only way to win with a binding vow is to actually give up. Like yeah I sacrificed all my strength in this moment because I never had any intention of being a warrior. Or "yeah I'll sacrifice 20% of my power for a boost I may never actually need and even if it does work there's a ton of my cursed energy/power that will just never be useful to me."
next chapters sukuna going to make the binding vow if his heart stops the merger starts since gege tops sukuna so good i wouldn’t be surprised if that happened
Bro really inherited the megumi mindset
“I’m not losin, we losin”
Im pretty sure his heart stopping doesn't do anything, didn't he use ce to make his blood keep flowing after maki stabbed him
gojo using a binding vow to come back in exchange for 6 eyes
I feel like the binding vow used against Gojo was complete bullshit. Considering that if Sukuna didn't use a binding vow right then and there, he would've LITERALLY DIED. Either that or he would transform with no ce, rct or anything meaning he still dies either way. You'd think that in exchange for killing someone of your strength level instantly while you're at deaths door would require you to permanently sacrifice 75% of your cursed energy or outright losing your cursed techniques but the only thing he lost was being able to use the insta-kill world slash without hand signs and chants.
Yeah, I feel like a lot of people that say it’s not broken and just smart aren’t seeing the real issue: Binding vows seem to ignore context. They happen in a vacuum and disregard how the user will take advantage at the moment. Makes sense to exchange having to put a new restriction on something every time you use it for a one time buff (no signs), sure. But in the context of the fight at that moment you’re exchanging future inconvenience FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE.
THAT is what is exploitable about the vows, which I don’t remember being as much of a loophole in nen contracts.
@gerharddamm5933 binding vows are also a lot more uh concrete and formal compared to most hxh vows. Kurapika had to enforce his own vow with another ability they can't let you just modify abilities on the fly
@@gerharddamm5933I stand by the opinion that binding vows generally making sense and are not nearly as bad as people make it out to be but this is incredibly well put and is why that moment, even after the binding vows reveal, doesn't quite sit right with me.
Whole thing that makes BV's powerful and abusable is they ignore context, so just simply not having to chant for this one slash, at the cost of whatever he put the downside as is a fair trade, because the BV didn't know it was gonna be used in life or death, and the BV didn't know sukuna can now do world slash with a full charged dismantle, stop complaining about stuff that made sense
@@landonrafferty5083*proceeds to break it in his Yuta and Itadori jumping
"haif off my head to gain immaculate power" That jab at MHA LOL
Me watching as Sukuna (the king of vows) makes a binding vow to get the powers of Alien X, Thanos, Goku, Rimuru, Saitama and the ten eyes (eyes that one shot any living organism Sukuna looks at) but 26 of his ass hairs are lost (peak writing):
Honestly, if I was in Gojo's position, I would've traded either my Six Eyes or Limitless against something powerful enough to oneshot Sukuna. Gojo did lead a super isolated and detached life anyway because of how strong he was and he managed to find some pretty powerful sorcerers who could shoulder his burden of having to basically protect the entire jujutsu world together with him. So losing one of those two abilities in exchange for turning Sukuna into mashed potatoes seems like a fair trade to me.
I dont get how the punishment for breaking a binding vow with yourself is only losing what you gain. Like is it literally just a face value lose what it gave you? Cause in that case wouldnt you just make a one time Miwa “i will never use this ability again” to buff it and then just break the vow the next time you want to use the ability?
Gojo completely fucked Sukuna over to the point where he had to consistently add conditions every fight after that 14 chapter slugfest 😭
They should do a *binding* vow to get Gojo back together 😉
Ppl need to stoo thinking bind vows are like nen contracts. The base concept is similar but they work completely differently.

Ja sam samo pomislio:"Staaaaaaaa"
Honestly the problem with binding vows is no visual sign of one happening. The amount he has made/what they have accomplished have all been fine (except the domain expansion one) but whenever they all have to be revealed later of a “oh by the way, 5 chapters ago this is how Sukuna got out of that” feels cheaper than it should be. If he saw that he made one, and then later learned the details of it, then it’d feel more natural
If i could sacrafice nothing to get everything now thats funny.
It would've been funny if Takaba abused the BVs, not Sukuna
Without fully understanding the current part of the Manga. I imagine all these binding vows are going to be his downfall. It sounds like hes trading power for what sounds like minor restrictions but I think there is something poetic if it ends up being his downfall
Binding wow PR team here:
Luka, you have to defend that shit alone this time.
Geto probably could've beat Yuta if he gave up ever taking back shots from Gojo again in exchange for strengthening Uzumaki
If Miwa can use vows, anybody can, i don't think we should attribute this abuse to "uh well he's the king of jujutsu that's why he can" if vows took any skill to do, that would be true but Sukunas vows aren't even big brain at all. We just have to take his word for it
The worst is by far the world slash, “I get to do it with one hand and half death in exchange of now having to use it with some extra hand signs and enchants” while also being an algamation that has an extra mouth and extra pair of arms.
What people don't understand or keep forgetting is that jujutsu sorcerers are con artists. Most binding vows with oneself are straightfoward a form of self hypnosis. Binding vows like the ones Miwa used against Kenjaku and Sukuna did to kill Gojo are the exception. And they are too serious for the sorcerer to dare violate it. But the ones where Sukuna says that Malevolent Shrine should be stronger because it allows for a escape round, are mental ginastics sorcerers use to adjust their power to their circunstances. The goal is to get away with more than you bargained for.
Sukuna new domain forces to be a sitting duck and is a clear prodict of desperation.
You are literally saying that Sukuna is cheating. That is what the thing you said actually means.
he's just crossing his fingers with the heian form
I honestly think binding vows could be a power system themselves.
Todo is the real merchant, he got huge power up from giving up on a hand that he didn't even had.
The Sukuna glaze brought to you by Gege™ continues
Weird why Gojo realized that it would be tough as fuck to fire off Hollow: Purple and never made a binding vow to make it simpler
Like "I restrict the target to only Sukuna and no one else, in order to be able to fire it off instantaneously".
A hell of a moment that would have been.
They are the hashirama cells of jjk, but slightly better written😂
Sukuna really sacrificed the shit in his bowels to infinite range on his domain expansion
Sukuna making binding vows look like a slightly better version of Hashirama cells lol
Hell their better than Zenkai boosts as well
Plot twist: Sukuna's Binding vow merchant status is due to a binding glaze with gege.
