This wasn't even talk no jutsu, Yuji was literally describing privileges for Sukuna's new prison 💀
Gave him an allowance. Like he'll allow Sukuna to live as a prisoner.😂
He showed him a tour of his cell, “See, it won’t be so bad” lmao
@@V..v..V sukuna gonna pack him or go out like a g
@GabeSolos sukuna is losing, gege is unique but after all he wrote it's obvious yuji is right
@@GabeSolos Yuji just turned off his sure-hit to try to talk with Sukuna, as soon as the fight begins Sukuna is going to have to deal with Yuji's sure-hit, wich is probably not going to be enough to kill him right away since it's his first domain, but thanks to both the boost that domains give and the fact the Sukuna is in his Yujikuna form (for whatever reason) wich means that Yuji surpasses him in hand-to-hand right now, gives an edge to Yuji
6:40 to add another thing American crayfish are an invasive species in Japan while Sukuna is quite literally a parasite to his host
Also I don't believe he would understand that there was a American crayfish in the first place as he'd never have heard of a invasive species unless he somehow learned about invasive species from someone's memories (I think to boring for him)(not disproving you or disagreeing just thought it was interesting)
A lot of things in the chapter can be considered parasitic. Like you said, Sukuna, the American crayfish but also the presticides that may have taken out the grasshoppers and the department store that shut down the mom and pop shops. Yuji appreciates the small and delicate such as grasshoppers, horses, soft serve, and the small crayfish. Quite a beautiful chapter love Yuji
I've seen a lot of people talking about that. Could potentially be something in the future
@@elliotbuera6891Could also be a parallel to time moving on and new things taking out the old. Sukuna represents a time long past. Past had many beautiful things that Yuji appreciates, but time moves on, the next generation takes over the old.
Some invasive species become part of their new ecosystems, with humanity becoming a predator culling them regularly and stopping them from over-populating and destroying everything around them. Humanity brought the problem species, but has learnt to live with it, helping the environment combat against them.
Sukuna is the invasive species that awoke from Yuji's well meaning actions. But Yuji is willing to take over the burden of culling Sukuna: Not killing them fully, but stopping them from destroying everything around them. But if Sukuna refuses, there are things like targeting pesticides, and spreading a campaign to kill out the invasive species:
It takes time, resources and money, but invasive species can be destroyed and removed IF there is enough will behind the effort. And Yuji has that will, and he has people willing to help him stomp out Sukuna.
Sukuna probably doesn’t even know what America is, he predates it by over 600 years
The peak of Yuji as a protagonist, he wont care if Sukuna understands, not anymore, the curse that his gradpa place over him has been lifted... Yuji wont care if Sukuna has a dignified death
That might be Sukuna's true fear; dying a non-great death. He won't die in battle, he'll die in a mundane way. People will remember him as the greatest threat to the world only to die to something like falling down the stairs. All that effort just to die the death a normal person might die from
@@dr.consumerock6798 this comment is extremely disrespectful to my pookie sukuna and I simply can't stand for it big dog would not be scared of that and his meat is super long and he can make it clap fr no cap why would I lie
@@dr.consumerock6798nah but seriously though I doubt it
@@Dr.BDover Its just a theory anyways, but to me it really feels like it. Imagine living such a long life fighting grand opponents of every degree, seeing multiple cursed techniques that start to break the laws of physics, and even honing your own technique to it's maximum only to die because of something like getting hit by a car
@@dr.consumerock6798 I think Sukuna does not care about what is thought of him after he dies. If Yorozu had won and he died, he said he did not care if she married him (his dead body?), because for him when you lose you lose everything, and for him death is the clearest loss.
But I agree with you that Sukuna really cares about his pleasures and displeasures in the present, he cares about his ego in the now, so he cannot avoid losing his temper to Yuuji's defiance of everything he stands for. For someone always so focused, and for all his talk of "I understand but don't care", he does care when it pisses him off. This lack of self-control is a clear weakness and already played into his arrogance to not sense Yuuji's lethality whatever it is that he will do. Someone living entirely for himself will always reach this point of self-destruction, because he cannot help himself but lose it when he is so humiliatingly denied like this.
Sukuna also will never admit that Yuji is already changing him. If Sukuna were actually steadfast in his ideals he would not let someone like Yuji to bother him. But Yuji does bother him, he absolutely hates and rejects Yuji. He has even adjusted his goals to focus on taking out not just Yuji but his ideals. Sukuna is not noticing how much of an impact Yuji has on him. He made him go from thinking Yuji is insignificant to having an actual goal focused on destroying Yuji. His desire is no longer all that matters.
Not even gojo could do this to unc and he damn near killed him 💀💀. Nephew rented an entire domain in his head
Bro what is that word in the last sentence?
@@valydendor4472"his desire" I think.
and that changing of ideals in pursuit of a lesser, much pettier reason are pretty much the headstone for significant characters in the story, e.g ., Gojo and Toji
@valydendor4472 my bad 😅
Yuji isn't forgiving Sukuna, he's sparing him, he's willing to ignore every ounce of himself just to remember the pure value of human life, no matter what they are. It's another thing that goes to show how much of a grip Yuji has on his ideals compared to Sukuna
indomitable human spirit
I love it. He basically wants him to repent or just straight up die. I wonder how this will play out
@@snock5487Which is why Sukuna hates him so much, He was never able to take him over
Yuji saying "I can kill you" was such a hard line from Yuji, i can't wait to see what happens next
“Can” is such a disrespectful word in this context, no wonder unc got so angry, neph really giving him options out here 💀
@@billyjoe8185 LMFAOO
I was floored when he said that. Shows how much he's been holding back for Megumi, but if he can't save Megumi then he'll just annihilate Sukuna
People saying they don’t like this chapter, don’t care for the story, when the story is the reason the fight is that much more epic. To much action will be boring.
Yeah, it's a bit refreshing after chapters of action.
I doubt that's the main reasons.
Most Anime only say the show is awful because they misunderstanding the hype from what the Manga community is trying to say and the Manga fans meanwhile staying in their headcanon instead of what gege is doing, and when the work is uploaded, and if it's not how it is in their headcanon they proclaim that thew whole is trash and they drop while acting dramatic, yet, returning every week and saying same thing.
While also judging differently for every chapter rather the whole arc and then for a single chapter they say the whole show is awful is also very common.
Very stupid from the community.
When the strongest MC Yuji, fought the fraud Sukuna, he began to expand his domain…
"Sit ashamed Sukuna, your life is in my hands."
“Stand down Sukuna, you’re cooked”
Sit ashamed Sukuna, you got no bitches
Yuji is actually BREAKING out of his "Cog Mindset" and is becoming selfish. I hope I get this right, But isn't this Series is about " The only way to gain immense power is by having a selfish mindset"? Because If it is, Yuji might get another power boost.
@@alphonsejohnson5601I wouldn't say he's becoming selfish. If anything, he's becoming more selfless than before. Prior to this, he fought and saved people because he believed that was his role (along with giving people good deaths), and that he couldn't have a good death if he didn't fulfill said role. Now, he's protecting people because of the value each life has. But yeah, he's seemingly completely out of the cog mentality
Also, what struck me about Yuuji's monologue is that it's just so... incredibly, utterly human. Small realizations of growing up, always noticing the small things and reflecting upon them. There's nothing grand or boisterous about it; it was a normal if lonely childhood. Instead of rejecting this simplicity in the search for greatness, he appreciates it as it is. And this leads to the way he sees everyone else too, all of the relationships he's had with people. They're all equally valuable despite the differences. They're all inherently loveable, all inherently human. Sukuna doesn't know how to love because he rejects his humanity.
I missed this kind of symbolic writing by Gege.
It also shows the uncertainties Yuji had, and that his mind is now set. Idk if this ties back into what Nanami said about being a child Vs an adult, but I think Yuji has officially adopted that adult mindset
"IVE REJECTED MY HUMANITY, YUJI!"
@@IamFish_2009😂😂
Imagine hating the single most well written dynamic and contrast in all of jjk. Yuji's speech was honestly beautiful, and the strangeness of the scene alone alongside slight curiosity is a good enough explanation for Sukuna to play along.
He said he was going to teach him ABOUT love, not get him to love. Yuji is gonna teach him how to get fucking wrecked too
Are you... pitying me?
Was so kino
Unc got real mad after that 💀
I love the parallel of yujis cold gaze to the painting Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel.
U RIGHT
Holy
A fellow art recognizer, hell yeah
Honestly my favorite thing about this chapter and something that deserves to be examined a bit more. Sukuna participated in the activities willingly. He caught crayfish with his nephew, showed off his archery skills with his nephew. Sukuna might be an irredeemable bastard but there's still that very very very small part of him that's still human.
I think he was just trynna shit on yuji by being better 😭
Yepp, I think sukuna forces himself to not have personal connections as a way of protecting himself from being hurt once that bond is broken & knowing what he said about his childhood & him being unwanted… maybe he was abandoned by his mother & it destroyed him. Maybe he refuses to have personal connections out of fear of losing that person & the pain that comes from it, he doesn’t want to go through that again; He’s battling childhood trauma from being abandoned?
Convincing himself that the only thing that matters is being selfish because you don’t have to worry about anyone hurting you but you.
I 100% believe this to be the reason.
i hope yer correct cause sukuna knows that yuji is his family, the only family (as far as we know) and doesn't care about it but yuji doesn't know that
@@generalpork All things considered, that's borderline a healthy interaction
He be only participated when it came to competition though.
As someone who's been going through a lot and just been laying in bed feeling like crap
This chapter really felt special
In a time where I felt like I as a person wasn't doing enough to be considered useful or important
Yujis speech about how none of that matters
How you could lay down forever
And you're still worth it because of the memories
It really hit me
Loved this yapter. Yuji breaking out of the cog mentality really spoke to me
It's probably one of my top 5 JJK chapters of all time
insane reach
@@GabeSolos you got a problem with my own fucking opinion?
@@GabeSoloswildly insane
Nah he's right this is a top tier chapter thanks to everything else built upon
@@gggggggggg44100 I disagree this chapter was ight but no where near top 5 but good for story building
Some part of me feels that Sukuna has been unconsciously training Yuji. Sukuna is so powerful because he is extremely lonely. He is the ultimate culmination of the idiom, “It’s lonely at the top”. The only method he has to truly connect is through power and a war of ideals. He even allows himself to be sealed so that he can hopefully find others capable of the same commitment to their ideals and thus able to potentially match his strength. He recognizes this quality in Yuji, even though he absolutely hates it and fears it. Yuji is the only person capable of matching him in the realm of ideals, the only person capable of killing him, and thus the only person capable of truly connecting with him. Sukuna essentially admits that what he is witnessing is the sharing of experience with another sorcerer during a great battle. And of course, Yuji is his descendant. There is much to gain for Sukunas ego if Yuji is capable of the same monstrous feats that Sukuna is. Behind every fear is a wish.
Yuji cooked with his Malevolent Yapping
Lmao
Nice way of saying you have autism.
Benevolent*
The one who feels nothing vs the one who feels everything
In some ways, Gege has already shown us what the outcome of this battle will be, and whose ideals are more correct. The entire idea of the soul has collectivistic implications in and of itself. Souls of the deceased metaphorically meeting at an airport is archetypically similar to many great works of religion and fiction that portray human souls as fundamentally connected. Just by introducing those airplane scenes as well as this experience with Sukuna as canon events, Gege is essentially indicating that Yuji (and in some ways Gojo’s) philosophy is correct.
I was waiting for the whole manga for a look into the childhood of Yuji, know we got it and I love it
Basically, an existentialist stoic vs a nihilist hedonist…
truly our philosophical jujutsu kaisen🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
thoughts
- Yuji was also talking to Megumi so he remembers their dead comrades but lets him inspire to move forward
- Sukuna starts the Merger to fight it / kill more humans
- if JJK sequel happens with a timeskip, Yuji is a demon infested Japan destroyed by the Merger could be interesting
Sukuna starting the merger would go well with "I will kill everyone you love" promise he made to Yuji
@@CaioMesquita-mx9px that's my problem with this manga 😅 yuji loves everyone at jjk???? You barley know these mfs
Megumi even said he barely knows this mf
Sukana "I Dont Give A Fuck"😂
Yuji “You Are A Sad Strange Little Man “
i love sukana
Guys I have a theory. What if where they are is in the soul? Before you think “we already know this” or “this makes no sense”, hear me out. What if when Yuji activated his domain, it landed and he was able to hit the soul and now they’re talking there(kinda like Yuji and Sukuna did back in season 1 or like mahito did in season 1 and shibuya)? I don’t necessarily believe this is the domain or afterlife because I believe that this is all taking place in the soul of either Yuji or Sukuna (probably Yuji). (Please check this theory out manganimist)
yeah yer correct, the fight is still on, it's not jover yet
Man people actually find a way to complain about anything. For me personally, Sukuna has been an enigma ever since he showed up, he reincarnated after hundreds of years and immediately thinks of massacre, that how low the value of life is to him, not just human life, but a even a curse as Mahito, one with boundless potential, is nothing but a foolish tool to him, someone who changed the balance of the world, Gojo, was nothing but painfully ordinary until the very end, time and time again he was shown to be disinterested in things that come so naturally to us, he speaks in poetry, in the original Japanese atleast, someone as otherworldly as that was kind of brought down to Earth for one chapter, to be that was something to behold as a story, I loved this chapter all the way through.
Please God let Yuuji's domain expansion be related to the Predator/Prey dynamic we saw at the end of Shibuya when he was stalking Mahito like a wolf 🙏
I'm just glad to see Yuuji staying true to the ideals we see so commonly in Shonens, but not turn him into a saint that can forgive anyone despite whatever atrocities they did.
Whatever happens sukuna better go out like a g or win idc ab yuji
@@GabeSolosnah your king is cooked lil bro, wuji had the man tweaking

I love that Sukuna wasn't having any of the talk no jutsu😂
To be honest I was a bit confused when I saw Sukuna follow Yuji around. I thought he would try to jump him or hurt him. He's smart though so he probably has a reason. Maybe their movements themselves are just illusions in their own minds united in height of battle
Thats NOT talk no jutsu, wtf is wrong with yall, this is not naruto where everyone can become friends lil bro 💀
@@Sam-pp5fu people will soon use "talk no jutsu" for any interaction between opponents
@@Sam-pp5fu that IS Talk No Jutsu. Naruto was never going to be friends with Pain or Obito (as evil as Sukuna) nor did he ever say he had sympathy for them besides the fact that the violet ninja world helped create their circumstances.
@alelzarterl212 i don't think they could fight even if they want in that space
Stand proud Sukuna, you were strong - Yuji
I also find it funny that he mocks Yuji’s intelligence it took him that long to realize that Yuji was trying to show him the way
Definitely my favorite chapter, I already considered Yuji to be my favorite protagonist and now I like him even more
I’ve had this feeling since the beginning but I think sukuna forces himself to not have personal connections as a way of protecting himself from being hurt once that bond is broken & knowing what he said about his childhood & him being unwanted… maybe he was abandoned by his mother & it destroyed him. Maybe he refuses to have personal connections out of fear of losing that person & the pain that comes from it, he doesn’t want to be hurt / abandoned again. Essentially he forced himself to become absolutely selfish, the total opposite of a human, all to protect himself; He’s battling childhood trauma from being abandoned?
Convincing himself that the only thing that matters is being selfish because you don’t have to worry about anyone hurting you but you.
I 100% believe this to be the reason.
One criticism I do have about the chapter is that we never actually got to see how and when Yuji had the perspective shift that he mentioned in the chapter, giving people a meaningful death was the entire point of his character, I think it would be fun to speculate when that happened, I personally think it was when he saw Megumi traumatised inside Sukuna begging for death but really I just wish Gege spent more time on that, like with half the goddamm story
Gege only cooks when it comes to Yuji and Sukuna, his ideas for every other character and part of the story have basically amounted to little more than window dressing.
Back in 259, the narrator said that Yuji's mentality of doing whatever he can to complete his role was shaken to its very core. I believe it could have been built up better if this wasn't a war-type, constant fighting environment, but I personally think Gege did this in one the best ways be could
Maki may have been the first so make Sukuna take up a 'role' but it's only yuji who seems to make him actively defend his ideals. Against Maki he was ecstatic about seeing which way was superior. Against Yuji though, there is nothing but a seemingly primal need to be right.
Sukuna is no longer fighting purely to fulfil his desires but to prove himself to this one brat. That is the power of Yuji, to connect so freely to so many people, understand them and have them reciprocate.
Todo said he adapts to fighting with and against others with ease which ,in a battle shonen, is the same as understanding someone. Unlike Gojo he is not 'alone the honoured one' but simply someone who exists within a world he believes it is right to protect.
Now Sukuna fights to prove himself while Yuji lives purely on his desire to save, even offering to spare the king of curses. A deliciously mirrored end point for the series.
Love your content man always on point but yes this chapter was amazing most people didn't like it because it was talking but I loved every second of it yuji and sukuna are finally interacting more on their ideas and perspectives on Life yuji trying to reason with sukuna and show him the meaning of life was really beautiful and nice especially seeing everybody in yuji memories and how he feels about them and how they had a huge impact on his life truly incredible chapter of jjk 🙏🔥
Animeman thank you so much for the kind words and support! I talk about this here: th-cam.com/video/WL1doWmgtfM/w-d-xo.html
I loved this chapter. It felt like a good concrete backstory for Yuji.
This chapter was absolutely necessary for JJK's pacing. Once it ends and stops coming out weekly, could you imagine how much of a slugfest Shinjuku would be to read if it was NOTHING but action? Fights are awesome, but JJK is still a story and it needs to be told- it can't be told with JUST fights. Honestly that's a big reason why I personally haven't been paying much attention to this arc until now- it didn't mean anything, it wasn't tying anything up. It was just "Character does THIS crazy thing!!!" and then dies. Now we really have a reminder of why this fight is even going on and it's a beautiful breath of fresh air.
tl;dr jjk needed a break from action
Well, since we will most likely get back into the fighting next chapter, I don't think it's doing much with the pacing, if a few other chapters before were not completely focus on the fight, maybe it would have been setup a little better. Chapter 265 is great of course, but it feels like we suddenly just hits the breaks out of nowhere.
They have been showing flashbacks that take up half the ch 😂 it's been too much dialogue flushed out during this final battle honestly
@@deeeeeeznutz flashbacks that do nothing but explain the fight instead of the story 😐

@@deeeeeeznutz'No flashbacks = Ass pulls, Flashbacks = Too much 'talking/explaining'. Can't win aye
Kashimo saw Sukuna as absolute perfection. A monster built with efficiency even his own life ending technique couldn't equate.
GoJo saw Sukuna as an equal. A fellow monster.
Yuta saw Sukuna as something... else... not above or below, but essentially a curse.
YuJi saw Sukuna for what he was. A pitiable fool who never learned compassion. One who will never learn it, and should be eradicated as such. Unempathetically. As he is beneath him.
Sukuna positions himself on might makes right, but he doesn’t actually have any substance beyond winning. If the story were from Sukuna’s perspective, there wouldn’t be any dialogue, just descriptions of fights people lose to him. But it’s not that kind of story. Yuji is confronting Sukuna with his experiences, which were all about losing things that just couldn’t be won with strength and tactics: his clumsiness (the slime), how the world changed (the crowds), how nameless middlemen decide how this world looks (the lack of green in the city), how people pass away (his grandpa and friends), and how he once thought a singular purpose (to be a cog) would diminish one more unfairness in the world (curses). Instead of disengaging, Sukuna does the curious thing of “playing” with Yuji in archery, crayfishing, and observing flowers. Sukuna certainly sees them as competition but Yuji integrates them as activities that pass the time and make the empty city feel alive. Yuji basically showed Sukuna a slice of life and implied “your philosophy does take interest in this world and it’s the foundation for how people have fun; you’re a Type-A competitive person, not a tyrant with some grand design on the world.” Sukuna gets big mad when he realizes Yuji believes he has successfully trivialized Sukuna’s excellence and has the audacity to believe a humbled person can humble Sukuna at his own game.
I've watched damnunear every video on this chapter on TH-cam, and while I feel like everyone recognizes how beautiful and special a chapter this is (which I love), I don't think anyone is able to encapsulate in words and articulate just what makes it so special as well as you.
one of my favorite aspects of sukuna as a character is that he understands these things, love, compassion, empathy, but he actively chose to discard them long ago, simply because he doesn't see value in them. It prevents any talk no jutsu stuff from happening because whatever you try to tell him he prob already thought about or experienced and just decided it wasn't worth his time, like sukuna is pretty introspective id say
Yuji son-ing sukana was for sure peak jjk. Hell that had to be the best modern day talk-no-jutsu in all anime history. Like come here boy let me show you something, at the end of the day o and by the way if want to live with us humans you can but if you don't you dead.
The panel pf Sukuna's eyes going to realization, then cutting to Yuji glaring daggers was peak
I think the whole yap was about how yuji has all these things dear and close to him and how skuna doesn't, kinda like showing him how truly alone and unloved he is, devoid of meaning. And all of that leads up to the panel where we threaten skuna to give up megume or else he'll end him. This was a roast-yap session, in my opinion, where yuji paints a bigger picture right before throwing hands
I think the whole sequence of yuji talking to sukuna is inside his innate domain, basically giving sukuna a taste of his own medicine seeing what he did to yuji in the juvenile detention center.
This fandom is kinda annoying. Bro, we can go one chapter without an epic fight and we need this character development. It’s a goddamn story, not a mma fight.
Yuji’s resolutions as the culmination of his character arc reminds me of an oath of the ancients paladin in dnd, its obviously much deeper than that, but its where my mind resonates with him
This chapter finally made the teach about love thing click for me in a satisfying way. Like you said Manga, juxtaposed to the constant battles, we really got to let this breathe (with some beautiful panels i might add)
Based on the amount of control Yuji seems to have in this pocket dimension, It continues to seem like sukunas arc of learning about love isnt really ending in a 180, its in being forced to respect that someone who refused to become animalistic, selfish, curse-like, will low-diff him in a 1 on 1. And i think thats fucking beautiful
I didn't know where this chapter would go. I was surprised, confused and sort of ... "frustrated" with the chapter 264? It was because of how Yuji suddenly pulled a domain expansion out of nowhere immediately after getting clocked by reincarnated Sukuna. I thought, "well this is a bit sudden, and why is his domain this?" But, after reading chapter 265, I've completely changed my mind on it. While the domain's appearance was a bit strange and sudden in the way it shifted the tone of the recent ark, it was honestly just amazing at how it quickly characterized Yuji and Sukuna. It shines a light on the character growth and sincerity of Yuji and the unchanging and unfeeling character of Sukuna. It also intrigued me that Sukuna actually followed Yuji as he showed him his home. It was almost as if his admission of not feeling a thing throughout their walk and talk was him subconsciously admitting that he might have wanted to feel or gain something from it but ultimately gained nothing. That also makes Yuji's pity of the King of Curses hit way harder. Honestly I recommend playing "Licht" by Hiriyoki Sawano or "Purple Clouds" by Kensuke Ushio and possibly "Drowning of The Former Emperor", also by Kensuke Ushio, near the end of the chapter where Sukuna starts saying "I don't feel a thing" while reading the chapter. It was so good and so ...
Beautiful.
kids: WhY ArE ThEy TaLkInG, It'S So BoArInG
meanwhile Yuji in his coldest voice: leave Megumi or you'll die 🗿
The definitive, 2024 version of the talk no jutsu trope. Done right, made sense and still let the protagonist be reasonable and badass.
I think Gege's super destructive way of killing characters makes sense now.
In a world full of despair and death. To the extent that everyone important to you is constantly dropping off. The easiest choice is to say "I am a cog" we are all just cogs.
Sukuna's way is to close off and just decide that nobody's life matters. Yuji's Cog mentality was the idea that even if life doesn't matter we all have a role to play. But Yuji's new mentality is everyone's life matters. There are no shortcuts. Even Sukuna's life matters. And it would be easy to take this worldview in a world that wasn't shit. Where your friends somehow always survived all fights. But in this world? This level of compassion is extremely painful to have. But that's Yuji.
This is gonna look amazing when it gets animated in 10 years

I absolutely loved this chapter, and enjoy hearing what everyone thinks about it. It really delved into that difference of ideals, where Yuji tried to give Sukuna an ultimatum. Something I don't think anyone mentioned but could also just be me is that in the last bit where Yuji glares at Sukuna, the way he's drawn reminds me a lot of the "Fallen Angel" painting.
This is GEGE literal backstory and real life perspective.
Yuji basically says “Touch some grass Sukuna.”
I just want to say. You made this manga a much better experience :D
top jjk chapters for me

yuji sukuna yap sesh before hakari comeback is crazy
hakari gon get married with that chick
Hakari on his way to Brazil to have his honeymoon with Uraume.
Shorty waited 1k years glazing sukuna only to marry hakari
That look Yuji gave sukuna is beautiful
I personally think sukuna is moved by yuji's speech and all what he's gone through while he was inside him, but he's the king of curses and his pride is preventing him from admitting or changing
Personally one of my favourite chapters
Jjk fans when the story has writing and not just brainless fighting 😭😭😭😭😭
"To be fair 🤓 ☝️ Jujutsu Kaisen translates to Sorcery Fight, not Sorcery Talk"
And following that logic I sugest we sue Kubo for deceitful title, I wanted an anime about people drinking bleach!!
i think the flower convo was very interesting
sukuna quickly dismisses it as megumi’s memories
then responds to yuji’s question about seeing all this before, that he doesn’t read useless memories
how then, does he know what type of flower it is?
It would be crazy if the Buddha is Yuji's domain structure. What we saw wasn't in the domain because that shit just might have an open barrier. But I'm hoping for it to be closed so we can keep this scenery just a bit longer.
Sukuna seems completely in character for me. I would argue that he stands firm in his ideals without a doubt. Sukuna believes that the strongest person is in charge. Only the powerful get to make decisions. Yuji is incredibly weak when compared to Sukuna, even now. This is only a fight at all because he was jumped and nerfed so hard, and even still, he is more than capable of winning. Thats how strong this guy is. When Yuji pitied Sukuna, in his eyes its a right be doesn't have. I am the most powerful sorcerer so I can decide anything I want, for anybody. Who can stop me? You however are weak. Its a fact that I can one shot you with negative difficulties. To pity me is a MASSIVE insult. You are NOT strong. I believe that is why he's pissed.
Each time Sukuna feels disrespected he lashes out.
He took the girls offer as a command with an unworthy offering.
Jogo didn't bow low enough.
Mahito touched him twice.
But when it came to Gojo, who talk mad trash and nearly killed him...he respected him. He did worse than everybody else but thats okay because he was strong. He smiled when Gojo called him the challenger. Yuji is NOT THAT GUY to Sukuna.
Only someone who loves or loved their village could ever something like this, this coming from someone who absolutely loves their village
I think yuji’s speech near the end addresses megumi not sukuna kind of like todos we are the exception speech to get megumi out of the gutter and I think yuji’s offer to sukuna was a binding vow knowing sukuna would reject his choice he made a binding vow to be able to kill sukuna if he refuses the chance to be spared I also really enjoy how yuji’s mindset has yet again evolved from a nonsensical goal of giving people a correct death to a cog in the system of jujutsu sorcerers to a complete mentality of the value of life
This chapter was so gas 🥲
He's finally shifting out of that cog mentality
Even without action, I loved this chapter. I wholly believe that this is his “domain expansion” but since he said he didn’t even know what it really was it gives me a few ideas: he literally pulled an asspull with his knowledge of barrier techniques from Kusakabe and his willpower to get this domain or he very well knows what he did and he hid it from Sukuna so that, at the end, he could say “I can kill you” like he did. For the first way, like Sukuna noticed at the beginning, Yuji has had this ability and inadvertently used it on Todo and Choso, he just didn’t know how to purposely use it until when Choso shielded him from the furnace, which Yuji used it to gain a few more minutes with his brother. With that being said, when the domain ends or breaks, Yuji’s shrine should still be online because the technique imbued in the barrier is the one that goes on a cooldown, however domains take a lot of power to use so he might be in a tough spot against damn near 100% Sukuna. For the second part, what I really feel it is, Yuji knew going into the domain what he was doing, just didn’t know how it would take form since he only just learned how to activate the technique a few minutes ago(Choso shield moment). He knew the entire time that his shrine should still be ready once and if the domain ends, as he imbued the memory technique into the barrier. So when he tells Sukuna he can kill him and gives that ultimatum, he’s not just acting with willpower. I feel like next chapter will go, “Are you forgetting, Sukuna? We’re in MY domain.” and Yuji will go to get in stance to fight, with Sukuna trying to domain expansion to break it, realizing he can’t due to the nature of Yuji’s domain and how he’s not in his current form, they’re merely manifestations of their soul battling in the domain, so the fight will be based on regular human attacks, which Yuji has the upper hand in since he’s more human and has had more hands fighting experience in my opinion (Sukuna mostly uses his technique unless he can’t, like in the previous set of chapters).
Can’t wait to see what’s next
I like how the main characters backstory was never fully discussed till the end
Love is the strongest curse of all
you beautiful bastard
I really cried after seeing the panel of everyone that how far Gege killed all characters in jjk expect sukuna and yuji the most heartbreaking chapter
While the chapter was good, its okay to admit that some of the dialogue could be cut without changing a single thing in the story. The details of the idealogies were probably at the beginning and the end where Sukuna literally tells Yuji to get to the point 😅. But stuff like Yuji hitting his toe somewhere as a kid for example can easily be removed without changing anything. If the point was that Yuji is a regular person with connections, some of the chapter can be removed while still making the same point.
And it is okay to admit it. The chapter was still good. But it isn't flawless. The criticisms don't come out of nowhere.
And this video embodies it because it doesn't even go into everything in this chapter, just the relevant parts. A very simple proof that decent parts of this chapter were padding.
And it is okay to admit it
That stinky_vampire art of Sukuna is fucking cold
Reminds me of that one shot during the Mahoraga blu ray fight
Thank you for putting into words what made this chapter so great
No lie i may be more hype to see this animated than gojo vs sukuna (although im still hype for that) just the raw emotion and energy from this chapter is crazy
gojo in heaven: Mhm, mhm! That's my boy!
Morning Glory seen as a reminder to cherish fleeting moments and embrace the beauty of the present, the awareness of impermanence.
Hydrangeas in Japan symbolize heartfelt emotion, gratitude for understanding, and apology.
just flower things
I really liked this chapter! I feel like either Sukuna is gonna somehow bypass Yuji and the fight keeps going, or in the style of Gojo, as soon as the next chapter starts Sukuna is dead since Yuji pulled the trigger as soon as Sukuna was threatening him. And then maybe something with merger idk.
It ain't talk no jutsu, it's The talk and then jutsu 🗣️🗣️🗣️ can't wait for the pov switch next chapter
People just say talk no jutsu and don't even read what is happening here. Thank you for explaining the theme. I will say the one thing that disappointed me in this chapter is the fact that Nobara was kind of confirmed dead. If she is dead, I feel like we were robbed of the aftermath of her death. It was kind of like just keep it moving kind of thing. I thought Gege was saving her for the ending because of how important her CT was with the soul.
But it is talk no justu, Naruto would probably try the same on Sukuna, realize it didn't work and then cook him. I guess talk no justu has negative connotations to it, but I don't know why, I think it was done well in Naruto.
If she is dead then why would Gege troll us for so long. This isn’t exactly confirmation that she’s dead but we’ll have to wait and see
@@TheToaprimezilla I agree and I'm hoping that she is still alive and maybe it's just a panel of who Yuji thinks is dead. I hope we get to wait and see
@@s11ramosn Indeed because we waited 4 years and we deserve a true answer. Todo came back and we thought he couldn’t use his ability anymore but lo and behold he came back and found a way to use his ability and there was no build up to it either because it was a surprise. Nobara coming back doesn’t have to build up. We just want it as a surprise.
This reminds me of the thing in Naruto where two high level shinobi can read each other's mind/memories by fighting
Loved this chapter, didn't mind the yapping at all, in fact, we need more of these, there's so much more to explore with Heian era (Sukuna's story), Kenjaku's plan with Yuji, Yuji and Sukuna being related, and wtf happened to Jin? Could he be alive? Also Sukuna seems like a true psychopath, no empathy, no remorse, ... So he actually couldn't ever evolve past this if he does have this mental disorder.
Gege isn't a bad writer but he doesn't try nearly hard enough with the series. He's capable of way better than jjk and you can see it in certain moments
Chapter 265 was actually my favourite chapter for a while.
im so glad we let gege cook
I know Yujis boldness was crazy but it's pretty bold of Sukuna to say "nah id win" while trapped in Yujis "domain" lol
Im that moment I remember the phrase from sukuna. Defeat is equal to death and I don’t care what you do with my body after. I think that if Yuji beats sukuna he will budge because he will see Yuji as the better one…maybe
JJK is how you write a Legacy.
In order to understand this Legacy we Must first Understand Shonen.
I don't know that much brief History but what i know It got popular after Ww2 when Kids lost their Parents and these Mangas and their Protagonists became Role model for them and with the Birth of Astro Boy he shaped the life of many Adults today.
A Shonen is basically a Comic Book(sorry) directed towards Children that teaches them the true reality of this world but inturn give them hope to stand up and face the Calimity with head up high called the Future.
JJK depicts this perfectly with Curses and Sukuna.
They are What world shaped them to be they are evil and there's no hope of considering peace.
Sometimes(always) things may not go your way as you intend to but you have to stand up again and again or Cry and Cower in fear.
Its not Weak or Bad to be a Coward(That one guy who has a Luck Curse Technique is Symbolism for Retribution or What goes back,Comes Back).the Pain of being Weak and incapable of doing your work hurts,this is shown through Megumi but even in this Abyss of Despair there is Hope as long as you Believe in yourself or make someone else believe in you,Hope would be there depicted in Form of Yuji.
Setting aside Gege's fetish of Killing of Characters,Every person you meet on your way is like a Pot plant or a Flower in a Field It would first sprout from Seed and would Bloom,set its seed and Wither away just like that The Friends you know may not be around for too long and sometimes things would be Like The Flower being eaten by an Animal or Pluck by Fate.
But even so one should not give up in despair as such the Flower we know of Sprouted new seeds after it Blossomed its memory is saved in someones mind thus just likr that,the people live on within you.
Thats itself is a Lie on itself
"Its either you bend to the truth of the World or Live a Lie"

THIS is Yuji’s selfishness. He’s finally committed to his own beliefs and his potential as a sorcerer will be brought to the front. I’m excited.
Also, this domain definitely exists either in Yuji or Sukuna’s soul. Probably Yuji’s, but Yuji’s memories might exist in Sukuna’s too. I bet Yuji wins if he dies in the domain
Jjk turned from fighting to philosophical anime
Yuji pulled "No Life?" On sukuna
He's memory no jutsu-ing him with his or Megumi's memories. Not in terms of literal flashback, but with "memory that never happened" like we first see with Junpei, then Todo, and most importantly, Choso.
I like that sukuna won't just be swayed by talk and empathy like most anime villains. He's raw real and doesn't give a cursed rat's ass about some kid's childhood
And the goat uploads another banger again
I think the mid domain delusion could be used for two reasons:
1). To precursor to sukuna's death delusion conversation, because showing both would be too much or substitute it out altogether from some betrayal or the merger.
2). To give hints of Yuji's domain. The delusion or maybe innate domain showed, him using an arrow (his fuga), a train station (sukuna's innate looks like a rib cage, I assume a stomach), a statue mentioned is will be his domain ability interpreted as slashes, a shrine, maybe the flowers are around the shrine, and the shellfish shows their differences. I'm assuming his domain will be a shrine surrounded by flowers, and still have fuga but somehow as kinder version of Sukuna's.
