Quick Summary from Wiki:

Yuji Itadori is a genius at track and field. But he has zero interest running around in circles, he's happy as a clam in the Occult Research Club. Although he's only in the club for kicks, things get serious when a real spirit shows up at school!

When his grandfather is on his deathbed, Yuji makes a promise to him; that he will do kind deeds so that he dies surrounded by loved ones, unlike his grandfather.

However, Yuji's life takes a sudden turn as he meets Megumi Fushiguro; a shaman who tries to retrieve a cursed object. When Yuji's friends open the cursed object that they found, things go south as the cursed spirits that it spawned start roaming in school. As Fushiguro and Yuji are almost defeated by one of the spirits, Yuji then swallows the cursed object and gains its power. As a result, Yuji becomes cursed by the object and gets dragged into Fushiguro's thrilling world of shamans and cursed spirits

Good time for a thread, thanks!

Fight really heating up. Mahito has such a creative utilization of his powers for what is also a touch of death skill. Add in Todo's technique and this has been maybe the stand out fight of the arc for me.

Scary that Mahito is still learning too. Black Flash the other week and now taking Gojo's strategy.

Translation of Gege's apology + clarification on the kind of clunky end of chapter lines

ahh, that makes more sense. I wasn't sure why that line seemed off.

Mahito is ridiculous, but he had a lot of prep due to the number of dead bodies/people around the battlefield.

I am also interested in who the bigger baddie is going to be since it alluded that there is a faction dedicated to serving Sakuna or at least bringing him back to full strength.

If there really is a group that wants to restore Sakuna, they don't have much reason to reveal themselves or intervene except to protect Itadori. He's everyone's best shot at pulling that off, although obviously there'll be a conflict once he does.

Shout out to OP for making this OT. Been wanting to see a separate OT for the series since a lot has been happening in the current arc.

Whenever the anime get's to the Shibuya arc this fight between Todo/Yuji and Mahito will be a joy to see animated.

I'm actually curious how things will be after this arc and whether we will get more info on Getwo not Getou mastermind.

Finally. The Shibuya Arc has been straight fire. Mahito has been relentless.

I'm usually against reading wikis over the original content, but a lot of shit has gone on in this arc lol. I'll have to reread the first half of it soon, because there's definitely parts I've forgotten.

The Mahito fight has kinda started to drag tbh

Like, these chapters are still fun, don't get me wrong, but this arc still has a bunch to wrap up and they've been fighting Mahito for awhile now. If they don't kill him here it's gonna feel like a waste.

Feeling like Itadori will learn to use part of Sukuna's cursed technique to end the fight with Mahito

this manga has really jumped up to possibly my most or second most anticipated weekly chapter release. This whole arc has been fantastic and since Todo joined the fight I've been hype as hell.

Funny that the first time Mahito used his domain expansion was exactly 100 chapters before ah ah ah.

Otherwise another great chapter, and Mahito should consider himself also a student of Gojo from now on ^^

Ayyy cool that there is an OT now. Great job Flow!

I am so happy that Shibuya is picking up again. It was getting to be dreadful for awhile there.

Yeah, I'm curious where it goes after this arc since a lot is still up in the air with it and everything prior to it was building up to this event. Seems like maybe a couple different antagonistic forces going forward:

Sukuna + Uraume -> Something with Fushigoro -> ???
Fake Geto -> Seal Gojo -> ???
Real Geto followers -> Seal Gojo -> Kill all non shamans so curses stop being created
Cursed Spirits -> Seal Gojo and Free Sukuna -> Curses rule

Guess Cursed spirits are actually all gone if Mahito goes down here. Fake Geto biggest question mark of all these and it has been a long time since we cut away from him and Mei Mei. Suppose Tengen and shaman organization may facrot in long term as well.

I'm wondering if there will be a time-skip after the Shibuya arc.

Also will Yuji be fugitive considering the amount of casualties there were because of Sukuna.

There was a mention of Jogo & co having a boss in that conversation in the diner... did we ever find out who that is? Was it just Mahito? He never really gave off that vibe.

It was never mentioned again I don't think. Also I don't think Mahito was the boss to begin with since he was still at the developing stage.

So who knows there may be someone else?

I would assume there are more special grade cursed spirits besides Mahito left, especially since there are a several fingers left.

In chapter 116, one of the special curses says to Jogo : "Death is a mirror for humans. Mahito is that mirro. Mahito will continue to grow stronger. That's why you propped him up as the leader"

So yes, there is a strong possibility that Mahito is in fact the leader of the group despite its young age, because Jogo felt that special potential.

Ahhh, yeah. So less a boss in the "giving orders and making plans" way and more of an aspirational figurehead due to his power and potential. That makes sense.

I wonder how they are gonna animate Black Flash considering they are basically critical points.

Hopefully it looks incredibly stylish.

That bonus chapter was basically one of those Gintama bits where the episode runs short so they have to kill some time lol

Well Toji was one person that kinda rivaled Gojo it's just the former fucked up by not making sure lol.

Granted if it was anyone else they would have been absolutely done. Other than that it would be Sukuna.

well not currently , but yuta potentially or before
maybe full power sukuna, but that's also in doubt, the infinity is pretty fucking hax

gojo also mentions : hakari ( currently suspended ) , yuta ( lost a good deal of strength but still mad powerful ) , todo as guys with potential to surpass
i think he also thinks yuji and megumi have the potential too

we also haven't seen yuki tsumuko the last special grade in action, she might be at his level or close

I say Sukuna only because the man was able to use some type of fire curse technique that outdid Jogo who was a specialist with fire attacks.

Sukuna may have various techniques other than dismantle and stuff.

Jujutsu Kaisen did trend on Japan thanks to episode 7 of the anime.

Nice!
