JJK

I'll admit it, I miss you JJfucKs. What we had wasn't that SPECIALZ, in fact; retrospectively there isn't much Gege wrote that was original, novel, or compelling.
But holy shit the shitposting weekly was fun. I miss it. Gege actually COULD accomplish these moments between characters, or during a fight where he established 10 rules but then one character twists the rule in just such a way - it was entertaining sloppa at it's worst and I find myself stupidly foolishly missing JJK. The characters betrayed their own motivations and sparse narative arcs, Gege clearly didn't know where to go or what to do with future arcs, and I don't quite even know what message JJK delivered in the end. 7 months have passed, I feel a bit betrayed by the author and wonder if season 3 will even happen. Culling Games is a low point writing wise, but if we could get season 2's animation on the Sukuna Showdown that'd be quite the blessing I still think it's a fun fight for any shounen fan

tl;dr

I wish Gege cared more.

JJK thread

feel welcome to post fav fight moments

yuji didn't really "earn" being stronger than Sukekna but catman was clearly tired

For me, it's the cope chapter where all the characters gather around and talk about why the Sukuna battle had to go down the way it did.

that moment when Gege gives Naoya his original body back in his domain so that his following distortion will hit worse for Naoya fans is one of the funniest moments

them suspecting if Gojo was evil after Angel's CT

AIIIIIIEEEEEE GET THIS CRAZY SON OF A BITCH AwAY FROM ME!!!!! MAHARAGA SAVE ME!!!!

gege probably intended Yuta's love schtick to contrast Sukuna at first

I hate Yuta, Maki, cursed speech guy, and Panda. I wish all their screentime went to Kyoto

geto's domain

Which is kinda hilarious considering he can't be any older than like 35.

i don't think it's connected to his health at all, his style just evolved for drawing men

He also just forgot how to draw characters if they didn't show up for a while, remember Nobara looking like Denji in that flashback.

Come home child we have missed you at /csm/

Nobara

Utahime

Yuki

"meh"

Find christ

OK, not meh, let's say good, but it pales in comparison to his taste in men. What's up with that?

has passionate sex and breeds like rabbits with Yuta

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH TOJI.

Well, he's not called Straightstraight

I laughed

Sukek was trying so hard to pretend kozo didn't bother him.

I read that whole fight in one sitting and holy shit it was so ass. I pity the people who read it weekly.

"betrayed their own motivations"? I don't remember that
The anime is trash but the manga was the best seller for 5 or 6 years straight. You'd be genuinely retarded not to know that it will get a season three. The tragedy there is that Mappa sucks and doesn't understand JJK. They've done a terrible job so far.

Yuji "Human weapon" Itadori

all hype no substance manga gets flashy all hype no substance animation.

Seems to me they understand it quite well.

Yuta won btw

it makes me sad that people say this, the Sukuna VS Mahoraga had a ton of substance particularly the blu-ray cut. Gege actually gets way too much flak for that era of his writing, he was still building techniques up and explaining them in a way that when he twisted or broke a rule it wasn't asspully. The later arcs, basically wank off Sukuna a Deus Ex Machina until Gege got bored. RCT restored! Oh he RCT'd his DE to Amplify blah blah blah shut up Gege we know you gave up.
I mention Suku VS Maho because the anime 1000% expanded on the "dismantle" slicing, and really demonstrated Mahoraga's adaptation slowly. I fucking love the fake out he does here youtu.be/sCG7D4wy7Fg?si=RB38sVX9Be3PpCHt&t=123 because Maho is trying desperately to counter but Sukuna delays it cleverly. It's well done, Mappa can eat shit for other reasons if you want me to say that.

Mother fucker you were in the threads every week posting exactly the same reaction image

the threads during this fight were some of the most fun alongside the kusokabe fight

That was not me, lol. I stopped reading jjk for a while and when they announced it was ending I started reading it again.

uhhh, it was my canadian girlfriend posting exactly the same reaction image with exactly the same text for weeks on end

sure, bud

I wish it was desu, those threads must have been fun but at the time I was tired of jjk.

If Sukuna was bored the whole fight, how is the audience supposed to feel?

Stand proud, JJK
You were a fun manga

JJK was good. Fujos will forever be butt hurt about GODkuna taking away their boy toy.
Picrel was cash as fuck.

Unironically, Gege actually knew how to generate hype for his fights on a weekly serial format which is honestly amazing in of itself. In the end, the series itself is pretty straightforward, but half of the entertainment were all the discussions going on on a weekly basis, almost as if the fights themselves felt like a sports event.

JJ Abrams mystery box bullshit. Kill Gege.
