- Anime/Manga OT
Thank you. It's an interesting directive to give to the staff cause I understand the reasoning but I also feel like anime adaptations of manga have made narration work really well imo. I love the narrators in the One Piece and HxH anime for example.
Panda birthday. Wonder if we will see the third core for an extended period of time before the end of the series.
They will have to get creative about how they convey some stuff /pick and choose what narration to repurpose.
Ichiji gets taken out like 10 chapters into the arc so maybe not him. Or they cut to him bleeding out but still delivering the info.

1 - Satoru Gojo
2 - Yuji Itadori
3 - Megumi Fushiguro
4 - Kento Nanami
5 - Nobara Kugisaki
6 - Toge Inumaki
7 - Aoi Todo
8 - Yuta Okkotsu
9 - Ryomen Sukuna
10 - Toji Fushiguro
Toji made it to the top ten through the power of pure thirst.
Well they must be doing a good job of integrating it because I never realized until now.
Read 80 chapters in a day and I'm just floored. Shibuya Arc is one of my favorite reads in a long time. It's gonna blow minds if/when they get to it in 3 years.
Make that 4 years considering Mappa just announced another project today.
Gojo going, "dafuq was that?" At Megumi doing a sacrificial bunt really stands out after knowing Gojo calls him out on that later.
The beginning of episode 21 made me wonder, does Mahito care about his Curse pals? Like the other three Curses obviously care about their comrades, but what about the malicious cunt? That scene made it seem like he does, but then in the Shibuya arc when Jogo breaks the news about Hanami to him, he's like that Jeremy Clarkson meme.
Mahito acted like he cared about Junpei as well. I don't think he's capable of caring at a level near what a compassionate human does. They just strike me as means to an end. He'll maintain his tools till the tools can't do their job anymore.
Mahito comes off as kind of the classic sociopath archetype. Very good at playing like he gives a damn.
OP
OP
Mahito is the "joker" of the series. H has made it clear he only cares about his survival till the very end
It is a good question though. What is Sukuna doing in his Sukuna-dimension inside Yuji? Like I've noticed that he is actually paying attention to what is going on outside at all times, even though he mostly stays quiet.
Dude must be hella bored

hes a pretty clear cut sociopath imo, reminds me of a character from the demon slayer manga
Mahito tells Junpei that he is proud to call the other curses his friends, and I'm inclined to believe that. Though, he states he doesn't see any value in life and puts following his own impulses above all else (and that is what he thinks a curse is). I guess we can take his theories about what it means to be a sentient curse at face value based on Hanami's reaction? Mahito's form name when he found his "true soul" is perfect embodiment of distorted killing or whatever so those impulses aren't great!
Was rereading some chapters and it jumped out to be that similar imagery is used when Sukuna talks about humans/cursed spirits not meeting their full potential and when Geto does the same.
Kind of reminds me of how the core of cursed energy is depicted but might be overthinking it.
All this to say, am expecting some crazy cursed energy/core of cursed energy stuff by series end! (which is pretty much explicitly stated anyways haha).

I did the same thing last weekend. It made watching the baseball episode this week bittersweet knowing what's in store for most of the cast.
I thought of this after seeing Uraume's first appearance in the anime this week. But we know now they're over 1000 years-old, since Gege confirmed they personally knew Sukuna back when he was "alive." So Uraume totally used their ice ability to cryogenically freeze themselves until Sukuna could be reawakened right?
Do we know that Uraume is human?
Couldn't they be an ex-human Curse like their master?
Inb4 I missed someone explicitly saying they were human.
EDIT:
Chapter 141 is out on Mangaplus!
I think Yuuta is pulling some sort of a bluff here.
Sukuna's reaction to Yuji getting stabbed leads me to believe that something is afoot.
*removed the spoiler tags, since it seems they aren't necessary, once a new chapter is out on Mangaplus*

Chapter 141:
- That definitely looks like the real Rika. Hopefully we get an explanation soon.
- I knew Naobito's cursed technique was too cool to die with him.
- Choso top ten manga big brother.
- Random speculation: Like Yuji, Yuta knows what it's like to have a soul attached to his. Meaning he should be able to attack the shape of a soul like Yuji or Mahito. So I wonder if Yuta's plan is to destroy the pieces of Sukuna attatched to Yuji's soul.

Is it not possible that Rika's fate was simply retconned? While a lot of Volume 0 lines up perfectly with the actual serialization, some minor parts stuck out to me.
Namely, it felt like Gojo wasn't meant to be as godly powerful as he is in the story proper.
So maybe Gege changed some things around?

That would've made the most sense, but in the fanbook this week we got this:
So it does seem like Gege kept the ending of Volume 0 canon.
Except this time it was intentional.
NuYuuta got no chill. He gotta merc Itadori and reclaim his seat as the protagonist, no matter the cost.
Could be that now that you've mentioned it, but he could also be reacting to what Yuuta is doing.
Yeah it looked like Sukuna wanted to step into stop Itadori from dying but stopped cz either 1. someone else was coming to do that (Fushiguro) or 2. Yuuta wasn't actually trying to kill.
So I was thinking on holding off on reading Death Painting because its about to be animated, but I went ahead and did it.
Boy, Nobara is badass as all fuck in that arc. A bit scary too.
All three of them in fact. Gojo raising kids with killer instinct.
When Yuji tried to coerce Sukuna to help him on the account of "I die, you die" in the Cursed Womb arc, the latter told him to fuck off, because there were plenty of pieces outside of Yuji for him to continue living. However, at the time, there was just two fingers worth of Sukuna inside of Yuji, now there is 15. Two or three fingers might be an acceptable loss, but if Yuji dies now, Sukuna loses a whole 3/4 of his full power! At least Yuji has got that safety net going for him now, even if Sukuna commits war crimes every time that happens lol

It is interesting to me that Sukuna is now interested in preserving Yuji's life.

Her name however is not spelled the same way. Obv viz doesn't do translation notes. There is something going on for sure.
He was smiling if you mean the final page with his mouth. Before that he was just annoyed at Yuji.

-Gege still committed to making Yuta look miserable every panel. At least he said sorry at the end! Rika looking extra spooky with that void they are popping out of. Curious what the full deal with both of them is.
-Still haven't wrapped my head around projection sorcery but the visual used for it is neat.
-Yuji officially making it into the Big Bro Choso sibling count. Concern level for him surviving is like 9.5/10.
-Sukuna smile. Immediate reaction/guess is that Megumi is now nearby. Could we be close to Sukuna using the swap?
Was wrong about the chapter name. Guess it will keep changing.

Kind of confused here. I thought they wanted to exorcize Yuji right away to get rid of Sukuna once and for all. Unless the translation was wrong...
You know, I respect that Gojo was trying to let his students learn at their own pace probably because it's a luxury he and his peers were never afforded, but uh it's not really working out now that he's gone and shit hit the fan, lol
Sukuna's reaction does remind me of when he noticed weird shit going on with Choso earlier, but it also could be noticing Yuta isn't trying to kill kill.
OP

Read all of Volume 0 the other day which is honestly the best leading into the last 5 chapters. My biggest question is how did RIka come back?
Sukuna most likely noticed Megumi or was impressed by the power of yuta+rika
