Idk why but I still feel the closure to sukuna vs gojo's fight was really unsatisfactory for me.Gojo was sealed after 100+ch,made a grand entrance,killed the higher ups,vowed to give a proper burial for geto,promised to save megumi's soul and defeat sukuna but instead he is taken out of the story in just 15 ch after coming back just so that sukuna gets to fight and kill the remaining cast. I really enjoyed till ch 235 but the series feels it is missing something that it had pre ch 200,will put it on hold for now and come during may after my exams finish.
Note: I have no qualms about Gojo dying but it feels like ch 236 was done just for the sake of shock value and except losing some of megumi's techniques sukuna remains unscathed which definitely didn't feel like it pre 236.

Oh shit the sorcerers are actually holding their own. Also I hope Choso is ok 😭

It's crazy how much potential Higuruma seems to have. Like several chapters ago he was the only modern sorcerer that Kenjaku displayed any sort of interest in, and now he's even getting Sukuna's attention. Not to mention, it's implied that he seems to have talent/potential on par with fucking Gojo. Pretty insane for a dude who's only been doing this Jujutsu thing for a couple months now.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

It’s not about Gojo, but when the author sets up all of these grand expectations and promises for his characters it’s very reasonable to be disappointed. If he knew that this was how Gojo was going to die then there was no reason to set up all of those plot points only to do nothing with them.

I'm using Google Translate, ok?

The fact that Gojo didn't fulfill all his promises and expectations doesn't make his death bad, on the contrary, it just makes his death like all the other deaths in the manga. There is no beautiful death in jujutsu, it is not a magical world and there is no glamour, if you die you are replaced and the world goes on without you, regardless of whether someone likes you or not. There are debatable things about how Gojo's death happened, but overall, it makes sense. His death? it makes sense to better develop other characters. Does he die leaving things unfinished? It makes sense, everyone has the same death inside and outside the manga.

It's normal for people to be disappointed with the death of a beloved character, but I don't see any point in saying that it didn't make sense or that it was "out of character" or something like that. This was just another jujutsu death like all the others.

@Miyamotodex23 i agree bro his death was BS and was bad writing. they literally said he won the chapter before and instantly died the next chapter with no explanation. it came out of nowhere and it was trash. this was not planned by gege, he himself said he might have forgotten to write a chapter, which we all know is BS because he hates gojo and probably wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. i don't have anything against gojo's death but gege should've built it up and then killed him

It is very normal and I appreciate storytellers who kill off characters once their role is over but it needs to have some impact on the story especially for the major characters .jiraya,corazon,arnheid etc served their purpose but also aided in the progression of the plot ,we got panels of naruto,einar and law devasted but it served as the catalyst for their growth. Nanami's death was very nicely done and I loved it but the execution of yuki and megumi's sis death just happened to move on with the plot.

I don't think it's right to compare such different mangas to explain events in a specific manga. Naruto is not One Piece, One Piece is not Vinland Saga and Vinland Saga is not Jujutsu Kaisen. Each universe has its own structure and there are also stories told by different people who want to show different ideas.

Gojo is already done as a character. He was the mentor of the new generation, he had Riko's drama, he made geto's arc end, and in death he completed himself as a character. What separated Gojo from the rest? His infinity barrier that was broken by Sukuna. In death, Gojo had peace.

It's okay if you don't like his death because you simply like the character, I really just don't think it's right to say that his death doesn't make sense because of the death itself, or because the death was so sudden. It's not like this is a new death in Jujutsu Kaisen, we've seen it before. Jogo, Toji, Geto...none of these characters are shown the exact moment the attack hits them, Gojo was just one more. The sudden turn from one chapter to the next just shows how cruel the Jujutsu world is. Gojo is a sorcerer, not a hero, he is also not the protagonist of the series and also his death was necessary for other characters to grow. I'm sad about his death, but I can also understand why there isn't as much "drama" or focus on his death itself. The Jujutsu world is cruel, brutal and not fun to live in. Curses curse because that's what they have to do, sorcerers exorcise because that's what they have to do. It has no beauty, delicacy or fantasy.

Sorry for the mistakes, Google translate.

@rayray_cabecinha this honestly is the problem having characters so called realistic death doesn't fit to jjk style in anyway. Cool character die for no reason that doesn't do anything to the plot it's not even making me sad, it just leaving a sour taste in my mouth imo diminishing the fun and excitement on reading jjk

I don't know if the translator will translate it correctly, but there are some terms that I would like to explain. There are deaths with emotional impact and deaths with narrative impact, Jujutsu Kaisen makes your deaths have narrative impact, not emotional impact. The Jujutsu manga is much "drier" compared to what the anime has been showing. In a way, the audiovisual treats the story differently, I don't think it's a bad thing, liking it depends on each person.

It's normal not to feel the impact of the deaths in Shibuya, I didn't feel it either. The one who felt everything the most was Itadori, he changes a lot because of it. This is a narrative impact, not an emotional one, it is different from the death of Ace in One Piece for example.

Jujutsu Kaisen has been a tragedy since the shibuya arc. And that's why many people start to like the manga more, the Shibuya arc is considered one of the best current shounen arcs.

As I said before, Gojo's death was just another one, there's nothing new and it wasn't an empty death either. Gojo is complete as a character, and also serves as yet another reason for Itadori to surpass himself. Gojo's death placed him with the others, something he really wanted. Gojo's death also had an impact on Sukuna himself, this makes Sukuna gain more knowledge and love himself more and more. What do you think Jujutsu Kaisen is doing with "love" in the story? What remains for us is to know how this tragedy that began on October 31st will end. There's still a lot to happen.

Gege killing off Gojo just to mention him in every chapter is just ridiculous.

He sets up the end of each chapter with yeah the good guys can do it! Just to punch us in the gut in the very next chapter. Gojo was easy meat for Sukuna, so comparing any other character with Gojo, does not mean much in JJK. This is getting boring and frustrating. We already know that Sukuna is not going to die here, because we just don't know much about him and his purpose, but I don't think Gege cares about good character writing or a plot, so who knows.

I think Gege should re-read his own manga from the very beginning in order to make a coherent story, which at the moment just lacks depth.

Every Anime, before starting a major new arc, sets up a plot to make it make sense, but here the characters are just pushed into new arcs/incidents without much explanation. Not to mention the bad guys always finishing on top.

woah, that became more of a hate comment than a review to this chapter, but bear with me..

Well, Gege's story was coherent till shibuya arc for me.Geto's backstory was really well written which paid off when Gojo was sealed,that shocked face of Gojo along with the flashbacks had raw emotions which it lacks now. Popularity and rankings determine the future of a jump manga so I think Gege threw away stuff like character development, cathartic moments etc for hype moments which is the selling point since the culling games began(his fight choreography and power system are still one of my favorites).
It is interesting still but ig I don't like it as much as I did before.

Yes, until Shibuya many things made sense, but all the build up with Geto and Gojo at the beginning of season 2, which would have been a great follow up, was just ruined by that time, when everyone was suddenly dealing with fake Geto. That is how NOT to write a character arc.

The fight sequences, no doubt are great, but even DB and DBZ was able to pull off great fight scenes with a coherent plot to follow.

It's just sad how the 1st season of JJK built up this great group of characters and their journey, just to do them dirty like this.

Gojo being sliced in half to then being used as a metric system for power leveling is hilarious, specially when there is a quote that literally says the world CHANGED when the dude was born. We are talking jesus christ levels of hype.

And suddenly there is this lawyer with talent "almost on par" with that guy. Weird.

Also his domain bypasses the rules in the same manner that Hakari does. They can both get full advantage of the technique but neither can change the "rules" in their favor due to external factors. Luck and Justice respectively. That's interesting.

Still, I love Higuruma and he is the only character that I liked from the Culling Game but this amount of gas is a bit ridiculous

@Zilpen Gege saying "Gojo won" at the end of 235 threw things off for so many readers in my opinion. That line wasn't said by an official narrator, it was said by Kusakabe, which I think people tend to forget. And as we know, throughout the entirety of Gojo vs. Sukuna, Kusakabe was in that room watching with everyone else and all he could do was try and guess what could possibly happen. So, and this isn't a slight toward him, how exactly can we just trust Kusakabe's word? If all he and everyone else could do was speculate, how can we expect him to even know what he was talking about in that moment. From their POV, Gojo probably "won" before falling over and dying a split second later. And on that point, Gojo's death did make sense. I also initially thought it was badly written, but having re-read the fight in one sitting without interruptions or breaks between chapters, I noticed plenty of foreshadowing that makes the final result make sense. And to say it happened with "no explanation" is a disservice to the explanation that Sukuna literally provides in chapter 236, which was hinted at in the chapters leading up to it. Once Mahoraga entered the fight, Gege was being pretty in-our-faces about it adapting to Infinity, so it was only a matter of time before something like what happened, happened. Last point I'll make is that people need to let go of Gege's comment about forgetting to write a chapter. There was a break week between 235, where Gojo "won," and 236, where he's suddenly dead. So when he said the break made it seem like he forgot to write a chapter, he's most likely making a tongue-in-cheek joke referring to how that sudden transition makes it seem like there was something missing in between.

TL;DR, there's a misunderstanding about the whole "Gojo won" thing, and from a writing standpoint, Gojo's death makes sense and was the proper conclusion to that fight, as there was plenty of foreshadowing and hints. Also, Gege's "forgot a chapter" comment was most likely an ironic, tongue-in-cheek joke.

When it comes to Higuruma's talent being "almost on par" with Gojo, I think it just refers to how explosive his growth has been in just 2 months since becoming a sorcerer. That's definitely a Gojo-worthy comparison, but I don't think Gege is trying to say Higuruma will actually reach Gojo's level (despite the translator for the official Viz translation writing it as Higuruma's talent being "equal to Satoru Gojo").

Might as well make everyone stronger than Gojo at this point. What does the author have against him. I like Higurama and all but saying his talent rivals Gojo is a bit much. Gojo keeps taking indirect nerfs.

"By the man with talent equal to Gojo Satoru's"

Like hell. These dialouges are getting quite cheesier chapters after chapters. I know author wants to make us believe Higuruma has a genuine chance, but we could do it in some other ways too right?

We know the end result. Won't be surprised if Higuruma's out of picture next chapter itself, I mean that's the quality of writing we've been suffering from the past two years in this series.

@MegamiRem His talent rivaling Gojo is more so a reference to his explosive rate of growth in just 2 months of being a sorcerer, I don't think Gege actually means he'll surpass Gojo, and I really don't understand why everyone seems to be taking it that way.

This is the problem I have with the dude who writes the official Viz translations for JJK chapters. His wording is god-awful. The TCB translation saying Higuruma's talent "rivals" Gojo's makes more sense as it gives the impression that his potential is similar to Gojo's, while the official translation saying his talent is "equal" gives the incorrect impression that Higuruma will reach (or even surpass) Gojo status. Even a seemingly minor detail like that can completely skew people's understanding/interpretation of what Gege is trying to say.

I never said he'll surpass Gojo. Sure if he had enough time maybe, given he apparently has talent that rivals him but he's gonna die soon so that ain't happening. I was just complaining about him having as much talent as Gojo cause he was supposed to be the special one but nah.

@MegamiRem Yea Gojo was special in his own right, but he himself has said that the new generation of sorcerers won't be limited to Special Grade, and he wanted to bring up and foster strong sorcerers, so it was only a matter of time before people come along that go beyond whatever levels of strength are already known. That's a message he was trying to send to the higher-ups since way early in the series.

Higuruma, despite being a sorcerer for just under two months, has already mastered the use of domain amplification. His domain holds the potential to rescue Megumi from Sukuna's grasp.

It’s not about Gojo, but when the author sets up all of these grand expectations and promises for his characters it’s very reasonable to be disappointed. If he knew that this was how Gojo was going to die then there was no reason to set up all of those plot points only to do nothing with them.

I'm using Google Translate, ok?

The fact that Gojo didn't fulfill all his promises and expectations doesn't make his death bad, on the contrary, it just makes his death like all the other deaths in the manga. There is no beautiful death in jujutsu, it is not a magical world and there is no glamour, if you die you are replaced and the world goes on without you, regardless of whether someone likes you or not. There are debatable things about how Gojo's death happened, but overall, it makes sense. His death? it makes sense to better develop other characters. Does he die leaving things unfinished? It makes sense, everyone has the same death inside and outside the manga.

It's normal for people to be disappointed with the death of a beloved character, but I don't see any point in saying that it didn't make sense or that it was "out of character" or something like that. This was just another jujutsu death like all the others.

I like how this interpretation connects with the theme of a proper death. In jujutsu world, a proper death is hard, so it becames more meaninful.

Love Higuruma's cursed technique, but there have been quite a lot of characters lately being somewhat on Gojo's level....

I feel the same honestly. I felt it kind out of nowhere. Maybe I am wrong and didn't get some foreshadowing from gege. If someone has an opinion about this, please tell me 🙏

Great to know it was a translation thing, it feels more natural

I am at a point in the series where I have no clue what will happen and I like it that way. JJK has its moments where the plot can be a bit messy but the climax has been worth the wait and it seems like Gege is determined to finish the series this year.

Damn, Higurama is a genius on the same level as Gojo.
