I am almost half way through the second season of jjk and I do not know if this is just me but let me tell you the whole power system only keeps on getting more confusing, which highly irritates me because I feel like I am missing the fun and excitment of almost all of the fighting scenes. You can blame it on my ADHD that I get lost at certain points of the show and forget to grasp the information given in the subs but please someone do me a favor and expain to me like I am 5 years old how domain expansions work and how do you tell them apart from simple domains.

Domain expansion typically open a pocket dimension to the users world I.E Gojo space place or Jogos volcano place. They allow sure hit. Which mean stuff like gojos infinity will no longer block attacks

Simple domains just creat a circular area around you to increase your physical stats in said area no transportation no real effect just an area around them.

Miwa used a simple domain against Yuji when Yuji was fighting that highschool and they where trying to kill him

Gojo and Jojo used Domain expansions during their first encounters


I could have gotten something wrong but I think this is the jist of it

There is none. This is not the show for power systems. Watch something like jojo that does a amazing job at this.

They are scary because a skilled simple domain user will typically fuck you up if you step into the domain area. Also simple domains can be used inside of Domain expansions
Edit: simple domains can also be used to counter some effects of domain expansions.

Simple domain can be used to deflect and counter attacks even if the person is weaker than the attacker I.E sukuna Vs kusakabe

I get you, thanks
I don't know who this kusa guy is. but all I can say is fuck gege for not giving us GojoxUtahime.

Since you asked for a kids version

Domain expansion = You are in my house

Simple domain = I might not be at my house, but i am in my garden

Cursed technique = Can you do this? (does weird shit that you can't do)

Cursed energy = I'm taller than you

idk if i'm forgetting anything, also english is not my main language .

@TempestDrak i have done my research and i think the best way to explain it is that simple domains cancel out the guaranteed hit thingy of the domain expansions.

I am relieved that almost everyone in this thread is as confused as I am lol but trying to cover up the weak spots of the plot by a complex, almost impossible to fully grasp power system kills the enjoyment of this show. I genuinely tried to force myself to like it on multiple occasions but I always find myself not understanding anything during fight scenes and end up being so disappointed.

Edit: Hollow wicker basket is also an example of this it’s the predecessor of a simple domain and can be useful to defend yourself inside of a domain

Wrong. Simple Domains are used to block a domains sure hit effect.

Your are partly correct simple domains aren’t only used to block sure hit effects. Again the example I used it a prime example of this miwa used a simple domain to increase her reflexes/draw speed to attempt to kill Yuji.

What Miwa used was a technique that automatically attacks anyone that entered the simple domain

I think its based on how much you enjoy jjk. If you really like jjk you will put more effort into understanding how things work and if you don’t care all that much you won’t put in the same effort. I’m the former and while CE is pretty complex once you start to connect the dots and learn more it’s actually a really good power system and makes the fights really interesting.

@Ricdumb i rewatched the first season when it first came out to partially understand some stuff and it worked at the time but by the time we got the second season I found myself searching up stuff from season 1 and as much as I want to understand the hype behind this show, I feel like I am just forcing myself to like it atp because why else does one have to do an entire research to understand an anime power system? As I said, maybe I am just dumb but it is overwhelming either ways.

@skywatt No you aren't dumb or anything its written to be complex. If you feel like you have to force yourself to like it then its probably just not for you. If at the very least you don't even enjoy just watching with little understanding of the power system then Id just stop watching. Of course if you just enjoy watching it w/o understanding everything that's fine too.

I honestly think that you would get more enjoyment if you just focused on the plot points, twists and animation and said f the power system. because I promise that the hype behind this show isn't because they like confusing math and power systems. if you get it, great, if you don't, that's fine the only thing that being well informed on the ever growing power system helps with is deciding whether a win was an ass pull or not lol. and don't worry your not the only one, jjk is notorious for the most complex power system since Hunter x Hunter (although I can follow both pretty well).

A simple domain is a barrier technique without a cursed technique imbued into it, within the barrier all other barriers including gojo’s infinity and the sure hit effect of a domain expansion are nullified but the sure hit will likely attempt to break the simple domain. A domain expansion is when someone uses their innate technique in conjunction with a barrier to manifest their technique or an application of it into the real world. A simple domain is typically just a circle around someone and they will say “NEW SHADOW STYLE: SIMPLE DOMAIN” before using it, whereas a domain expansion looks more unique and they will say “DOMAIN EXPANSION: XXXXX XXXX” before using it.

@skywatt you're not dumb. the power system is genuinely stupid af in this series. it's overly convoluted and IMPOSSIBLE to grasp just by watching it. i'm not just talking about domains, which i think are generally easy to grasp, but more so the cursed techniques and all the arbitrary forking conditions imposed on them.

the narrator literally has to explain everybody's powers non-stop in season 2 because it's a total shit show. just horrible writing. because if you can't understand and follow along, then why f'ing watch? which, i won't watch whatever season/ova/movie comes next. i'm done. season 2 was dookie for the most part and was largely "big splashy fights" with "too much narrator exposition having to explain wtf was actually happening" with near zero character development or plot. it was just fight fight battle fight

jjk just isn't that good and it's ok to feel that way
