Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 Discussion

@-Shinzo
1. Fair enough that doesn't make sense then again he didn't use cleave once in the entire fight possible he didn't in the domain but that's just a theory.

2. This however was stated by Kusababe in the last few chapters he did mention he was holding back. Cause he couldn't go all out due to him fighting everyone else afterwards anyway. Even Hakari said the same thing. Gojo literally confirmed it due not using his technique.

But I will give you him screaming for mahoraga was dumb though he was in panic mode for whatever reason. Why are you panicking you literally killed him next chapter.

Gege killing gojo offscreen was stupid as well.

@BigBossQb He used cleave against Gojo on the opening fight, which sliced a building in half

I don't know what happened in this chapter and I don't want to know, but people on Twitter are literally starting to threaten the mangaka with death and send him sadistic wishes.

Dropped. 0/10 manga.
How you gonna make Gojo recover and be at his peak with the black flash only to kill him off screen? After having Sukuna shit himself all last chapter? And then suddenly Sukuna was actually totally holding back the whole time and could have won at any moment? It just feel off. Like we skipped a chapter or something. Anyways, I’m on the “north/south” copium train until Gojo’s body is absolutely obliterated onscreen.

Kashimo, idk what the fuck you gonna do but I hope it matters in the long run. I hope you don’t job immediately.

Fuck you Gege for dropping this when Gojo gets sealed in the anime this week lmao

@RobertBobert A lot of mangaka stay anonymous for a reason. Most dweebs won't ever act on their threats, but some weirdoes would if they knew who was the author writing things they didn't like.

@OnePiece7Sh1 like look at this loser, case closed.

welp
this is literally kengan omega tier of cop out
fcking hack

Let me explain to the people who didn’t understand this chapter and are screaming “asspull”.

In chapter 224, Sukuna throws a Dismantle at Gojo which provokes a surprised expression from him. From this we can deduce that Gojo can “detect” Sukuna slash but he cannot “see” it. However, in chapter 118, Sukuna stated that Mahoraga could “see” his slash. This also means that Mahoraga could “see” Infinity or rather space itself.
Then we go to chapter 234 where Mahoraga performs a slash similar to Sukuna’s. This means that either Sukuna passed down his technique to Mahoraga or Mahoraga can use the technique it has adapted to. Either way, Mahoraga bypasses Infinity.

In this chapter 236, Sukuna explains how Mahoraga’s adaptation works. Mahoraga changes its Cursed Energy to fit the Cursed Technique it has adapted to making it immune. This is testified when Gojo blows himself up in chapter 235 and takes minimal damage. Mahoraga also uses this principle to his attacks and neutralizes infinity.
Mahoraga expands the slash to target space hence cutting right through it. Space isn’t something someone can see but Mahoraga can. Being able to see space means it can target space with the slash and Sukuna copies this.

Sukuna has already been shown to be able to perform any type of Cursed Energy manipulation or even basic or advanced techniques like him being able to turn himself into a cursed object by just seeing the process once. He “saw” how Mahoraga performed the attack and learned to cut space.

In chapter 235, Kusakabe declared the victory and not the Author. Sukuna was half dead, his output was growing weak and Mahoraga was out of the game either destroyed or unsummoned and he had no way or attack to bypass Gojo’s Infinity(or at least they thought so). Everyone thought it was over and that Gojo had won, even Gojo thought so. Gojo was also focusing on healing himself with his restored output. Gojo’s guard was down.

Remember how I said that Gojo could “detect” and not “see” the slashes? Well Gojo’s guard was down and he was most likely not even reinforcing himself with cursed energy. His focus was also divided in healing himself and feeling relieved that he “won”. And that is when Sukuna performed it silently. A cut that targets space, the world, itself. Infinity manipulates space but Sukuna has now cut through it. It was game over.

Not to mention that Dismantle requires very little cursed energy and doesn’t need to charge up because if he had to Gojo would detect it and dodge.

It was instantaneous. In the previous chapter I quoted Reggie’s line of how a sorcerer’s lie determines their victory. Gojo tricked Sukuna and performed a Purple which was his winning condition, however, Sukuna also had a lie, a trick, up his sleeve. As a sorcerer Sukuna proved himself better and his lie or having no more cards up his sleeves determined and solidified his victory.

There were zero asspulls. Everything here can be explained by things that were introduced in previous chapters. Everyone is just mad that the “good guys” are losing.
Something which doesn’t happen in almost any anime.

Overall, this fight was… in Biscuit Oliver’s words. Beautiful~

@KloneTrooper Very neat explanation, I think people are generally mad about this chapter because it requires this kind of depth to explain the outcome.

@Yaana To be fair, I think you could have a frame of Sukuna smirking before cutting to a panel of Gojo being bisected. It would be a pretty easy way to shock everyone while also not seemingly letting it happen offscreen.

I think this is one of the reason people are mad. The other is that Gojo attesting to Sukuna's strength like this is either false/contradicted (Sukuna no-diffing Gojo is such a weird thing to say), which makes no sense.
