I honestly didn't have much issue with Maki even. People wanted more from Mai and she was never important outside of Maki herself and the one time she shoot a rifle at Kenjaku. Maki's chapters have been some of my favorites since Shibuya ended.
Right about the time Sukuna is up and about in his full glory.
The pacing has always been jjk's biggest issue to me
Chapter itself was hard af though once that ending hit
Yeah, there is a very noticeable stretch where the pacing feels rushed.
Otherwise, I have no problem with JJK pacing most of the time...
...oh but there is that one part in Hidden Inventory where Gege straight up jumps over shit with a small summary of events.
Yeah, that too.
But otherwise, I like it.
My guess is towards the end of the culling game arc. It would be cool to see his reaction to the events of this arc and the Shibuya incident.
If we do get an arc where the young sorcerers and other Gojo-aligned people go against the establishment, Gojo will be out.
It would be weird for him to miss out on the revolution he has craved for so long.

Gojo returning at the end of the arc made to free him is a little too predictable. I expect the wildest shit.
No seriously, the entire chapter is Gege taking a dump on the Japanese court system.
Kinda hilarious, yet nice to see this kind of content in your Jump manga about magic teens punching monsters and each other.

Kenjaku showing up in a gigantic airship on its way to the moon,"Get on board or die!" Also time to meet the staff.
I'm putting money on him coming out of there and immediately becoming the new Big Bad.
On one hand, I don't want to hold my breath and hope they don't turn him into another disposable villain, but on the other, Gege did say tear all that shit down with the Zenin's.
Everybody reading the chapter early has me jelly
Nvm Jump is early this week. Where the hell have I been lol

Lmao you must've been all like "Why is everyone all of a sudden spoiling shit"
I just thought everyone broke and went "I'm reading scans this week" lol
Kinda weird people are peeved on twitter about this (saw it in my trending) because it isn't Maki but like Maki is gonna have plenty of chances to be on a volume than a dead dude
Neither can I
Because I literally don't believe it.
Tace: "What the fuck is wrong with the JJK and MHA threads? Have they abandoned the rules?!"
Hope you didn't get spoiled too hard by the misunderstanding.
They straight up introduced a whole-ass character who's only purpose in the arc, besides patching up Itadori for a round 2, was to give us hope that she can survive.
Closest thing to an update on her status was kept intentionally vague and got immediately topic-changed by a gag.
Yuji to retire from punching ghosts and find a new function of investigating/researching the misallocation of post disaster relief funds.
I'm imagining something more like an Enemy Mine, where they're about to throw down with Sukuna, they unseal Gojo as their big trump card, and oops prison realm made him as nuts as Sukuna so they throw down. Gojo wins, now he's the big bad.
The first OP on Crunchyroll's YT channel has 30 million views in less than a year and is the third highest viewed video under only stuff like All Might Vs All For One. The series is crazy popular.
I feel like Higuruma's gonna be a foil to Megumi, considering the latter's very particular views about justice.
Seriously, i love the intensity of this guy, he seems about ready to reach out for the truth fully fed up with the system. I don't expect much coddling from Gege in regards to this shit he very obviously hates. It's one way to parallel social injustice with magic shonen anime organizations and another thing to just have it in here laid out like this.
I think I'm confused by something about the Culling Game - could someone clarify it for me? I initially assumed that all the participants were older sorcerers like Sukuna who emerged from within normal people's bodies via Geto's meddling over the years. But now my understanding on the latest chapter after seeing this lawyer is that they are actually just normal people who have acquired powers (unknowingly) from Geto - no older sorcerer souls involved?
Some of them are old dudes from the past, some got their potential awakaned, some ingested cursed objects, it's a free for all for anything. The plan is to get as many diverse cursed energy users gathered around to cause chaos in a battle royale and from it new cursed stuff will evolve that Kenjaku couldn't make through his own experiments and body.
Kenjaku did both he made a bunch of contracts with ancient sorcerer and sealed them inside people and he marked people that were similar to Junpei people who had curse technique but weren't awakened yet yet and used Mahito idle transfiguration to change their bodies in order to be sorcerers
Mahito did something similar to Junpei to speed up his development
Tsumiki megumi sister was marked and likely why she was in a coma until she was awakened
The lawyer was likely someone who had potential but wasn't awakened likely until Kenjaku did the mass idle transfiguration
It is both the the ancient sorcerers Kenjaku made contracts with (the Angel person who could help release Gojo, the dude who skewered a guy last chapter) as well as the modern people he has selected to give powers to (Tsumiki, this lawyer dude, the comedian dude who was implied to have a power similar to Nanami's).
If I understand correctly, the ancient sorcerers have been incarnated by turning randos into vessels like Yuji.
Another category of players is anyone who enters one of the battle zones, including non-sorcerers.
So basically, does this mean that some non-sorcerers have latent CTs that they simply can't use because their brains aren't built different?
This kind of shit makes Geto's (I mean the real one) fantasy bigotry even more non-sensical. He really was off his rocker.
