Sophistry would probably refer to the damage control stuff from the front of the chapter; Yuta isn't really being lied to, exactly, even if he is misplacing the blame.

Just caught up... pretty wild chapter to catch up on. Pretty drastic shift to the status quo of the manga. Hope Gege doesn't squander it. Their horror influence is pretty huge, so I'm expecting the next arc to be dark.
OVA between seasons wouldn't be too surprising. That or start of the next season.
I absolutely had the same impression, which I thought made Yuta far less interesting. We'll see.
I hope Volume 0 is adapted as an OVA/special.
I thought his ability to copy techniques would be enough once he got back into the main series but I don't mind if Rika is brought back too.
Btw I love Volume 0 as a concept so much. Wish more series did stuff like that, even if it's after the main series comes out.

Okay so I watched the anime and then caught up on the manga. I was like "how long can this arc go on" once it started getting into the 20's and damn, shit really escalated. I guess this author has a gameplan in mind and isn't going to let the manga run on for a massive amount of time like some shonen? I'm here for that. Usually takes a few hundred chapters for things to 'upend' society or whatever in these kinda "kids go to school" shonens, so that's cool.
On the topic of Rika's return. We know Yuta is (distantly) related to the Gojo clan, so it's possible he has a cursed technique, and since he was able to copy Inumaki's cursed speech in the prequel, maybe that cursed technique is power mimicry? Maybe the Shaman character has an ability similar to that villain who channeled Toji's spirit into her grandson, and Yuta learned it, allowing him to temporarily bring Rika back?
There's also this twitter thread (I don't know how accurate the translation is, but I've seen other people say similar things):
Another explanation is that Yuta managed to create a cursed spirit or shikigami, and just named them Rika as a tribute.

Question: I thought the Shaman was an enemy to the Jujutsu sorcerors in the prequel, how come he was chilling with Yuta during the events of the main story?
Just wanted to nitpick that tweet since "X, please..." is totally a playful chiding remark when said with the appropriate tone.
We don't know. The other one from their team with the pasties on his nipples is also working with Yuki. Larue is his name.
Yuta looks like he hasn't really smiled since volume 0 lol. Even his fake smile to the kid in the chapter seemed off.
Guessing whatever caused Rika to return has been distressing for a while.. Or could just be the massive fallout of shibuya incident.
How fucking insane would it be for Yuta to just execute Itadori and become the protagonist again lol
was honestly thinking that at some point Sukuna might take over Yuji's body and we would transition to Yuta being protagonist for a while
Sukuna would just forcibly switch out and paint the room with him.
The fact that Yuta is being entrusted with the execution would probably put him much closer to Gojo than we know so far.
The third guy from the Tokyo school that's supposed to be super strong and who Gojo is counting on in the future has never actually been seen right?
I thought this might happen until I remembered we never got an explanation for Yuji's memory altering abilities. If not for that, I would think he would "die" I.e. Sukuna takes control and fucks off somewhere
Nope. Just the one shot of him.
I like the little we see of his design. Wonder if he'll get introduced in this new arc.
I agree that it probably has an explanation, but imagine if Choso was actually his brother somehow and Todo is just a headcase lol
Wish it had the other characters from the series instead of Roboco x4.
This was already funny, but then the prison realm sections hits and was even better.
Roboco definitely having a special dedicated chapter to Gojo's release if it happen while it is still running.
Okay, I read Vol 0 now and I'm super curious as to how Yuta is still a special grade sorcerer. I mean even if Rika is gone, the fact that he was able to create a special grade curse by cursing someone at the moment of their death is pretty powerful. I wonder if he still has the ability to copy cursed techniques. Copying stuff is always either super OP or has to be done in a very limited way to not make it super OP.
Yeah, Itadori is already inhumanly strong as it is and Sukuna isn't going to let him die yet. So even if Itadori couldn't actually hold his own against Okkotsu, which I think he could, Sukuna would step in anyway. His best bet of becoming whole again is to let Itadori consume all twenty fingers and then take over his body permanently before Gojo can kill him. I'm not sure anyone else really could.
Yuta still has magic blood being related to gojo that makes him super powerful
Right, I forgot to mention the whole bloodline thing Gojo was talking about. Just curious in what ways that's manifested, as he originally was listed as special grade due to Rika.
I think Rika being powerful was because Yuta being powerful
If anyone hasn't been following the anime but curious about the best produced scenes, episode 17 is worth checking out. Has Maki/Miwa, Kugisaki/Momo, and Maki/Mai.
Was a good reminder that we need a Maki update! Inumaki losing a limb off screen has me about 10% more worried about this.

Has Miwa's technique ever had its intended effect? I feel like it has never worked once and it saddens me because Miwa is fun, katana users in suits are cool and I love "step into this area and you're done" attacks.
And yeah episode was insane. Glad to see my hero Tatsuya Yoshihara on it, this was his week.

Looking back at the most recent episode, it's kinda funny seeing that flashback with Naobito looking down on Maki
Like, bruh, you got fucking demolished by Dagon and Jogo like just as easily as she did, and you were the one talking shit?
Also, can we get some Episode 17 level animation for Toji next season? Please?

i forgot we seen Naoboto
so still smug
i mean he was the one closest to beating Dagon lol and they said he could have dodged if he wasn't injured
so still smug
It's so funny how they look down on Maki cause she can't use techniques even though she has superhuman strength in exchange and now represents the next step for humanity.
Yeah I was surprised to see him when I re-read recently. Cause when he appeared in the recent arc I didn't think "oh that old guy from before".
I re-read the entire Shibuya arc as a form of procrastination and I think it's a muuuch better experience reading it all at once rather than weekly.
In the Dagon fight (pre-Domain Expansion), Maki was frustrated that she would have died if Naobito didn't save her by activating his cursed technique at one moment. But yeah it's always a real eye opener to watch all 3 get set ablaze by Jogo before they're even aware what's happening.

Whenever I think of Sukuna's Domain Expansion, my brain always goes straight to the Dorohedoro intro.
