As much as I had hoped to see Okkotsu fight Itadori for real, I guess neither was really trying to hurt the other and that's what amused Sukuna so.

Part of me hopes the reason why the good guys are getting so many heavy hitters - Okkotsu basically admitted already that he's actually stronger than Gojo but lacks the same broken abilities - is because the end game plan is indeed for Sukuna to revive himself much sooner than anyone anticipates and the final battle is him vs everyone else.

Well, turns out that the spoilers I saw aren't actual spoilers.

And also

That's fucked up.

Finally, I didn't expect this arc to turn into Greed Island Hunger Games. Does Cursed Technique removal result in the player's death?

- Brain experiments with someone else's pregnancy to create the death painting curses
- death painting curses don't work out the way they wanted
- Brain: screw it, I'll do it myself.

Right, but why is the Culling game starting in the first place? And why is Kamo specifically tied to it?
Well, Kamo was telling Yuki about how he had "a dozen evil Yujis" he was gonna unleash, including Tsumiki.

Kamo is running the death game.

Didn't Gege basically shut it down himself in a recent interview?
Yeah, but people still held onto the possibility that he was trying to sway the people off the trail in that interview.

Because Brain is a gigguk fan and wants a tournament arc

Really the story excuse would probably be to either gather the strongest survivors or some weird test or both

Brain's obsession is to surpass the limits of cursed energy, but found they couldn't do it under the heavily controlled conditions of their experiments . The tournament/game is basically forcing a natural selection/survival of the fittest type situation where curse users have to evolve if they want to survive.

It's similar to the current succession arc in Hunter x Hunter.

Brain is gonna get aliens to visit Earth and really kick things off. Hopefully they don't look like bunny people.

"Yuji, it's about your parents..."

"Stop, I don't care, Grandpa"

"Thank god. That would have been really weird to explain"

Question is, did Brain kill his first wife or did Grandpa somehow knew that the actual wife is being puppeted or impersonate by someone else
Brain interrupted Grandpa

Brain: Yuji, I am your mother. Also your great grandfather, your cousin twice removed on your father's side, your pet dog growing up and... *pulls off Geto mask*... I'm also Jennifer Lawrence.

Packed, and crazy, chapter
-The absolute disrespect Yuta is showing Naoya is amazing lol
-Wonder what happened to Choso
-Wild flashback. Brain being a parent had been mentioned as a possibility but didn't think it would be as the mother. Neat twist on the usual surprise shonen dad deal. Grandpa seems to imply that brain may have led to the death of Papa Yuji's first wife? Suppose this is all if this flashback is to be taken at face value.
-Nice to see good ol' Yuta. Convo between him and Gojo was funny. Miguel staying away from Gojo haha. Him pointing out the difference between him and Yuji was interesting. Guess he is really good at reversed cursed technique now. Present day Yuta still seems slightly off unless it is just because he was tired from the act.
-Megumi/Yuji parts were great. Really wanted this talk to happen and it delivered for me.

Quite the hard cut to those Culling game rules. Seems insane. Wonder if extracting a cursed technique means death and that is why fake geto was so confident that everyone would fight. Yuji doesn't even have a cursed technique so how does that work? Try not to compare series, but the rules are some Togashi HxH boat stuff haha. Trading points to add rules is sure to be big.

Geto battle royale was more accurate than I expected.

Gege really is a fan of Togashi, isn't he?

We're about to meet a boatload of new characters considering the scale and stakes of the culling game. Im assuming at least half are gonna be your HxH jobbers who hang around for a little while before getting mulched. Maybe Yuji gets some more brothers along the way with their own flashbacks.

Oh brain Kamo duh. That name will be the end of me lol. I thought they were referring to young Kamo, not Brain-Kamo.

Why did that poor boy's father name him after the most hated sorcerer of history?
Right? What a major dickhead lol

I need to see Nobara, it's getting legit painful not knowing what's up with her.
Saaame. Knowing Yuta can revive people and the fact that we saw Nobara lose an eye (anime loves making people lose limbs for a design change rather than killing them, especially eyes for eyepatches) makes me believe that she's more likely than not alive.

I feel like her return will be an end of chapter stinger soon.

So Naoya went out there all cocky to kill Itadori and Megumi, and all he did was get his ass beat by Choso and then was sent off with his tail between his legs to play messenger for Yuta

Zenin Clan stay loosing lmao

I want to know more about why Miguel joined up with Yuta. Gojo mentioned him this chapter, but we still don't know what they've been doing.

I just realized Gege revealed Yuji is related to the death paintings the same week Yuji will kill Eso in the anime.

Just sprinkling in some retroactive fratricide for the manga readers.

I don't see where you're getting him being related to Death Paintings outside of Brain being in Kamo's body in the past.

Brain used Kamo's blood not their own to make death painting. Brain was in a different body when they made Yuji.

Brain being a parent to both Yuji and the paintings would still make them relatives. Even if it's in a weird, convoluted non-blood related way.

Seriously, you can't start another arc without a Nobara update. I'm sure there is a law against that!
