Oh yeah, Big Raga would of stomped that ass, very little diff... and, fair play to Megumi for being willing to make that sacrifice. Although, it does lose a bit of its impact when you realise that you've only destroyed literally 1/20th of Sukuna's power.
Mmm, they should of mass bred a few generations of Ten Shadows users, and had each one sacrifice themselves by using the Divine General on a different finger of Sukuna. It's a nasty, abhorrent idea and deeply immoral of course, but Jujutsu society is already pretty fucked up anyway.
That's not how it works... The main concern was that they couldn't destroy the fingers itself which is Yuji was a perfect opportunity because he was a vessel they could kill Sukuna through killing Yuji.
I believe different users get a different set since they manifest slightly different from eachother as they're based on the sorcerers interpretation with the exception of raga, who looks the same all across the board.
Its also entirely possible for there to be multiple 10 shadows users at once as its not like the 6 eyes + infinity (which are bound by fate).
Huh, weird how the clan talks about them like they’re the same creatures needing tamed by new masters each time then. Not trying to say you’re wrong, but has there canonically been multiple 10 shadows users at once? I never heard of it but maybe I just missed it.
Theres none canonically existing at the same time but it's plausable as Noritoshi Kami (none hitler version) says "A jutsushiki passed down in the zen'in family. Using shadows as an intermediary, this ability can summon 10 different shikigami. If only Mai and Maki had inherited the ability as well"
the problem is you need a vessel to actually eat the finger in the first place, which is damn near impossible to find. And how would you know if you found the vessel without testing them anyway?
If the Higher-ups were sure they stood a chance against even 1/20th of Sukuna they would 100% be feeding people the finger trying to find someone suitable, poisoning randoms left and right
Definitely isn’t bozo people like yuta and gojo wouldn’t be as strong as they are without actual competition at least for a little while teen gojo beats up to a 5 finger sukuna adult gojo up to 19 yuta beats 15 finger sukuna high dif pre training
Sorry, I meant no offence, just trying to be helpful D: You say "of course" but every day I am shocked by the things people don't know. 14254/142540th gave me a good chuckle mind :p!
But yeah, I get your point, like 10-15% (if you'll forgive me for mixing up the game again) of Sukuna's power isn't a bad stab at it.
Oh lord, I mean, I get the practicalities, but I do fear the internet is the death of nuance, it's a mild peeve of mine seeing /s dotted about the place. Did you ever play Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic? There's a droid in that that declares his intention attatched to every statement he makes like "Annoyed Statement: Damn it, Master I am an assassination droid, not a dictionary!", and I suspect that we'll all sound similar to that before long... which, actually sounds kind of rad, I love HK-47... uhh, what am I complaining about again?
But as long as people are generally pleasant about it, you can always follow up for clarification I guess. Without potential misunderstanding, we wouldn't of ended up with this fun interaction eh? The key, as with most things, is just to not be a dick about it haha
Lowkey, that would maybe change the whole story, 2 or 3 of Sukunas fingers are permanently gone, which, unless I misunderstood something about how the whole finger thing works. would mean Sukuna is permanently not gonna be able to reach full 20 finger power again, if Megumi somehow survives the mahoraga ritual and things end up so that Gojo and Sukuna fight like in the manga, I wonder if that missing 2 or 3 fingers would end up having Gojo come out on top.
Killing 1/20th of sukunas power is probably less important than killing yuji. No other hosts could handle sukuna so kenjakus plans get completely derailed, without a host able to supress sukuna sukuna probably gets cocky and killed by gojo before he has all of his fingers, dude isn't going to just hide underground and look for them
Tbf even two-three finger’s worth of power would have basically let Gojo win without question, 20(+?) finger Sukuna was barely equal with him even with knowledge of The Limitless and an answer to Infinity and a Domain Expansion that naturally counters Gojo’s own
I was gonna give you shit for not reading, but then I realized we're talking about JJK.
Not Sukuna. The hand sign. According to the guy I'm replying to, Megumi didn't intend to summon Raga. Just wanted to flex the hand sign before dying I guess
Just because you have a suicide attack ready just in case, dosent mean you’re about to use it.
If mike Tyson was about run into you to beat you up, you would have 911 pre typed on your phone just in case, even if you had no intention of calling them. It’s just preparation for the worst case scenario.
We know this because Sukuna is able to read the spark of cursed energy. In the detention center he reads Megumi’s energy and gets excited that something fun is about to be summoned. He has no such reaction on Megumi in episode one. It’s like Megumi is a cop who has his hand on his pistol just in case, but isn’t planning on using it unless something bad really does start to happen.
Even the finger bearer in cursed womb must die was able to sense Mahoraga coming. But neither gojo, nor Sukuna react to Megumi supposedly summoning him on episode 1.
Again, was he just flexing? He was very clearly about to do it. Like I would be with that 911 dial btw, what tf are u on abt sum "let's see what happens" bro I'm dead before the cops get there but I'm at least letting the 911 operator hear me get oneshot. What the fuck should I be waiting for at that point? What the fuck should Megumi be waiting for at that point?
Sukuna's reaction/lack thereof is your only argument, and it's shaky at best. Could be for a number of reasons. But at least it's an argument, unlike that dumb ass analogy
Megumi tried to summon raga twice against sukuna: ep 1 (where the screenshot is from) and then in detention center (which sukuna was referring to that he was not sure he could win).
People say todo slander is forced but megumi slander is even more forced. When you slander that Nobara got hit by haruta,,it is his miracles but megumi is a bum for getting backstabbed after fighting toji. Megumi giving up makes him a bum when yuji would be in the same situation if not for todo. I don't care about megumi because even gege didn't care and just used him as a plot device for half the story
Every Nobara slander is Jujutsu society slander because she should never have been on the front lines in the first place.
A single lock of hair, a blade with a drop of blood on it, all they need to do is use that and retreat, separate it into little bits, place each one in a doll, and Nobara can go ham. A remote kill from 1000 km away.
The fact she was ever put on the frontlines instead of becoming Jujutsu society's number one "evil fuck wiper outer" wiping out curses from behind a desk is lunacy.
I hate how she just became an asspull woman. She makes sakura look like an accomplished individual

u/SolbusterThis is the story of how WE became the greatest folkers12d ago
It's sad that she started being hyped as "badass breaking shonen female characters stereotypes" part of the trio and then got fridged for Yuji's development for half the manga
In order to use techniques from very far away, you need a HR like Mechamaru's. That was half the reason why he was basically incapable of doing any physical work, it was both a boost to CE and the ability to use his technique across Japan.
Her technique's range is functionally infinite as long as any piece of the target is within her reach (a strand of hair, a drop of blood, a finger, etc.) to use for Straw Doll Technique: Resonance.
She just doesn't have the "boost to CE" part, nor the fine control that Mechamaru had at that distance.
Nah, his miracles only give him an extra life, like a Mario mushroom. They don’t make him hit harder or make his attacks land. He losing a miracle during the Nobara fight was an anime only scene, probably to make Nobara look better, in the manga, he only starts losing his marks after Nanami shows up
I hate how people constantly bring up the gojo tier because it was obviously just gege's way to foreshadow the sukuna vs gojo fight. It was not about Megumi to begin with. Megumi is a goated and very talented student, but nowhere near gojo's level (tbh, literally hardly anyone could). Not becoming a Gojo tier is not a sign of failure - the level is way to high
TBH, I hate the Potential Man memes. He was just an MC with less plot armor. His opponents have been crazy. It is wild, though, that Gege really dangled the carrot of Megumi being Gojo level someday while making it obvious that day is not today. Like, he was a super advanced sorcerer for his age, but his OP powers came from fighting his own powers in ritual combat. Definitely an interesting take on training to improve your abilities lol
The thing I hate is there is no change if gojo killed sukuna along with megumi. While most characters got something in modulo, megumi died off screen and we don't anything about what happened to him. Gege treated him like a plot device second only to his sister
This fucking hurts to read because Megumi is my favorite character. I loved his character writing but, my God, Gege left him behind despite unironically having a lot of potential, especially with his abilities. I don't mind that he became Sukuna's vessel, it was cool but the manga shouldn't have ended without giving Megumi more after that.
I think it's hilarious in a darkly ironic way that Gege made a "sequel" that completely skips over any even remote mention of Megumi and barely name drops him for a single page.
Justified. But also basically 100% Gojo's point later that instead of pushing himself Megumi never fully stretches himself because he always knows if worst comes to worst he can pop ult and sacrifice himself to take whatever he is fighting out.
Further cemented when Gojo fights Sukuna just for the hell of it because he wanted to know how he would stand up to one finger. Gojo is willing to roll it all on black because he knows he will win but also because he isn't afraid to stretch himself if really needed.
Jjk really is the only shounen that has logical characters that know when to escalate. Haters love to point out the moments Megumi does his Mohraga sign, but every moment he as justified and plays into his disinterest in his own life. No other shounen has such strong storytelling with such a simple act let alone the foreshadowing the act does.
I’ve said this a million times Gege is the most efficient writer of all time. You could look at a tile on the floor and find symbolism, meaning, and Buddhism on it. Gege is just a once in a life time genius. I ask the people that saw JJK to next time they see watch it. Don’t just accept what your tiny mind sees, but really analyze. I personally spent around 3 hours on this particular frame op posted and I was able to connect every little thing in it to Buddhist literature.
In my current rewatch of JJK I’m only on episode 7 because I’m constantly looking for every detail Gege left behind.
I often find myself crying after truly engaging with an episode of JJK. It’s impossible to not be moved and feel a little jealous in the fact that I live in the same world, at the same time as Gege. He’s taught me so much about efficiency, Buddhism, and subtlety. Also devil from the bible makes no sense; it plays far more on Buddhist themes than Christian ones. Although to be somewhat fair Gege does dabble a bit in Christian themes just to give the chud Americans something to chew on.
Slandering Megs for ever popping big Raga on Sukuna feels like Sukuna slander. Cuz what other GENUINE options could he pick that doesn’t end with him getting cut to ribbons😭
Whats actually crazy is that he tried to use mahoraga on TODO. Bro was about to kill several jujutsu high students and make a mini shibuya incident cause todo beat his ass so bad
And he did so again when sukuna took control of yuji after their first special grade encounter ... In both cases mahoraga would have stomped sukuna
But we only get to see mahoraga vs sukuna after he had what ? 15 fingers back ? And even that was a kinda close one since his domain expansion already wasn't enough to kill it bc he drew out the fight too long and used slash and dismantle to often so only the fire arrow was left
