JJK has always been very good, but this arc, is where it really begins to excel and take off and shed its "oh its like this shounen or that shounen" and really just makes you want more, i can tell you love this arc and everything that comes after Imran and cant wait for more content from you
The Shibuya arc is like the Jakku Hospital fight in MHA, but even more intense because JJK doesn’t mess around when it comes to biting the bullet
@@kaminari1927 those two arcs are nowhere near on the same level. Shibuya is so far beyond mha
The climax of shibuya arc reminded me of Hxh's insane Crimera Ants arc, it's the crescendo of the story
@@thchiefe sorry bro war arc of mha solos jjk
@@srinjoyadhikary hahahah absolutely not. The war arc in mha is so mid it’s ridiculous. Shibuya takes the entirety of mha and takes a fat shit on it
When this arc is animated no one is prepared for how insane this is going to be
ESPECIALLY KIDS WHO THINKS DEMON SLAYER IS BETTER THAN JJK 😂😂
@@skullzie69420 no need to compare. Both are great at what they do. Demon Slayer final arc is just as crazy as Shibuya in my eyes. Both are great
@@fishnutz5196 jjk reached that level in not even 100 chapters , its crazy to think about how epic its goin be
I hope it gets Demon Slayer season 2 like animation
@@dandrejohnson1522 considering Mappa’s slav- I mean employees haven’t done wrong since 2020 you wanna hope That they dial it back cause Man oh man
JJK was pretty well at paving it’s own unique lane, but the Shibuya arc cemented it’s legacy as a force to be reckoned with. Gege Akutami spends a good portion of building the world and characters prior to the story and pretty much says, “okay, now all hell will break loose”.
Gojo has been from day one known to be the strongest. Can’t kill him? Expose his weakness of protecting civilians and seal him up and let’s see how all hell breaks loose without him. It’s like every single thing that could’ve gone wrong without Gojo, went absolutely wrong. We get to see first hand how fragile this Jujutsu society really is and how strong and scary the villains actually are, and how the protagonists are forced to not hold back at all.
It was the same feeling as a kid when you watch DBZ when Goku gets the heart virus and the Z Fighters are fighting for their lives against the Androids, but this was of course on a different level.
The sense of desperation that feels like everything is on the line. This wasn’t a mission, this was a damn declaration of war.
And the FIGHTS ARE PERFECT. The perfect mix of choreography, story beats, paneling, pacing. God it’s just so damn good.
JJK now set itself apart that it doesnt have to follow the rules. We have no idea who is safe in the series besides possibly Yuji, Megumi and Yuta. But even then that’s up in the air. That kind of anticipation of the unknown is masterfully done from this point on.
Very well said. What makes it even better, Gege said himself that at least one of the MC will die OR only 1 will live. So not even yuji and megumi are safe🤯
your point about knowing how powerful the villains actually are without gojo around couldn't be more right. Gojo was fighting like 4 special grade spirits without taking a single damage, didn't even go all out, and killed one of them, but without him gone you see mahito kill off Nanami and nobara(we have no idea yet but I think she's alive), seeing choso destroy yuji in their fight, and jogo killing naobito, violating maki and pretty much did 99% of damage to Nanami. I always thought jogo was fodder ever since his fight with gojo, but this arc proves how far away gojo and sukuna sit at the very top of the sorcerer world
@@farsous10 choso won but he didn’t destroy yuji lol everything was on point. I always had a feeling jogo was the biggest problem out of the group after mahito. This arc definitely confirmed it. Jogo vs Toji would have been fun to see!!
@@dantens2010 yea I might have exaggerated with choso, what I meant was we only ever got to see choso in action vs gojo but like I said it’s hard to gauge how powerful anyone is against him, so I honestly thought itadori was gonna win but choso proved to be stronger. Yea toji vs anyone powerful is fun to see, always interesting to see how people would react fighting against someone with no cursed energy
Maybe Yuji is safe to the very end of the story but I heard some fans saying that Gege confirmed Itadori, Megumi or Gojo will die for sure... I only wonder when it will happen:(
Soul Society, Marineford, Pain Invasion
That’s the level we’re on with this story. Let’s gooo
That's a bit much but alright those are shounen classics and Shibuya needs to stand the test of time
@@unitedant it will no worries.
@@unitedant I mean it hasn't been animated yet and many manga readers put it up there with those shounen classics.So it definitely can do so
Seems like it will tbh, the manga is steel feeling the after effects of that arc, and provided JJK continues on its current trajectory, I can see it being held up in that regard.
Too far. It’s great but you take it too far.
Two small nitpicks Choso and Yuji have a confirmed brotherly connection and Gege stated in his February 2021 interview Yuji does not have a false memory technique
yeah lol, yuji and choso are legitimately siblings via kenjaku and todo's just a goofy guy
One of the best Shonen new-gen arcs. It's amazing all throughout, the planning, the fights, how Gojou is sealed taking advantage of his mind, Toji's "resurrection" and how he takes himself out after remembering Megumi, Sukuna's awakening, Sukuna vs Jogo, Sukuna vs Mahoraga, his rampage, Yuji's breakdown, Nanami's death, Nobara's possible death, Yuji & Todo vs Mahito, Yuji's character development
Megumi didn't tame Mahoraga. All ten shadows users can summon it through a ritual. Sukuna killed it but he wasn't part of the ritual so it doesn't count.
true
If he wants to tame him he will have to fight and win all alone
So it means Mahoraga still exists and it can be summoned again?
@@cynxmanga yes
@@percy.garou1001 Damn... it would be epic if Megumi would manage to tame it 😎
Fully agree about the story getting darker - it's made all the more tragic by how much Gojo and Nanami wanted Itadori and the other kids to enjoy their childhood. It was a motif that really made this manga stand out for me, that the mentors actually acknowledged the younger characters as the children they are, and made an effort to give them the childhood freedoms they deserved. Now they've been forced out of everything they knew, their mentor figures killed or dismantled, and they're on their own trying to survive in a new and dangerous world.
This arc set JJK apart from everything else and has placed it in a league of its own imo. The feeling reading this arc was so nostalgic, can’t remember the last time I was this captivated
I love this arc. This arc showed that Gojo is the protagonist even though he isn’t the main character and I love it.
Shibuya Arc: everyone woke up and chose violence
I just love everything about it from it being Halloween to how Gege gives you the time of when each event occurs kinda like Kubo with Fake Karakura but he doubles down on it
when toji enters Dagon's domain, his pose is similar to the Tarot Card Hanged Man
They weren't lying that this is one of the best, if not the best arc in any manga. It's up there with Return to Shiganshina and Chimera Ant arc. Arguably better since the anime adaptation beats any of them. Truly a masterpiece from Gege Akutami
it was mid
@@Wally_West alright cry about it
You were wrong on a few things, todo when he claps with one arm he didn’t use he technique it was dead at that point as he even said those exact words. Also sukuna’s domain expansion isn’t him becoming an artist that was just a reference to as how glorious his domain expansion was. It was akin to an artist making a masterpiece in thin air” another error was you said megumi tamed great general but he didn’t all he did was summon it and nearly die right after sukuna defeated it and voided the contract made with him to keep him if he wins
and also tojis sould didnt take over that one guys sould, tojis body took over the guy's soul
I'm so ready for this to get animated, my friends will never hear the end of it
Also the sisters mimiko and nanako only fed yuji one finger. Jogo fed him 10. Remember sukuna killed the girls because they asked him to kill kenjaku for a finger.
This is the best video about the Shibuya Arch. Thank you!
I loved tf out of the Soul Society arc and Yuji's last bout with Kenjaku and Kenjaku's departure took me back to Ichigo's first bout with Aizen and Aizen's departure. I just can't get enough of the references because Bleach has been my favourite shonen for years now!!
2 areas to mention. One is a correction, the other you failed to mention. 1: Megumi didn’t exorcise Maharaga. That was the whole plot point about it basically being a suicide mission to summon him. Other shikigami
users have summoned him but none could exorcise him, including Megumi at that time. 2: You mentioned Uzumaki but not the seriousness of it. Kenjaku mentions that Uzumaki is a specific type of ability that exists parallel with a Domain Expansion. Only a select few sorcerers can use an ability of that class but that revealed that there are abilities equal to or greater than a domain expansion. Aside from that, awesome review man!
You are one of my favorite content creators. I love your videos and I keep watching for more and more. Please keep up the great work! I would love for you to cover Maki vs the Zenin Clan please!
Damn, I haven't even thought of it that way. Yuji implanting false memories makes so much sense though. If he can manifest that ability he could make it so powerful as to make every single enemy, EVEN Sukuna, a friend. But to be fair, that would be a bit broken. Need more Jujutsu sorcerers? Just befriend a special grade curse.
"Usually in manga there a portion of the story "..which goes over my head..and I patiently wait for it to be animated..🙂
Best manga arc for me in a long time.
Dude the memory implantation thing has been long debunked
Megumi never tamed Mahoraga. He summoned Mahoraga as part of the taming ritual, and forced him to take part in the ritual. Sukuna came and killed the Shikigami, so it voided the ritual. Megumi will have to re-summon the Shikigami to restart the taming ritual.
This and the gojo past arc is gone make for a crazy season 2, it's actually gone be legendary
Okkotsu's VA confirmed that Okkotsu will come back in season 2. And only after the entire Shibuya Arc he appears.
This may hint that we will see the entire arc in season 2
I agree when I saw the panel of Nobara's "death" I immediately thought yeah my girl ain't dead.
2023 just wait for another year for it to release the anime. I mean this is fire ! But 2022 we saved the hype for chain saw man , which is also give out similar vibe to JJK. I finished the manga but yeah the character in chainsaw man is like jjk but in different universes with different story line.
29:00 he didn't exorcise Mahoraga btw
Very glad to see you cover this incredible arc. Cannot wait for the anime version!
Definitely the best arc from the new gen shonens we have. Btw thanks for this analysis style videos they really clear the picture a bit more
New gen? Do you read hell's paradise
The antagonists have just been running amuck ever since shibuya 😢
3:03 I disagree That its as good as the Chimera ant arc but I respect your opinion
I’ve had this in my watch later section for 4 months and I just now read the manga
I don’t know if I’d call it the best, but it’s up there for sure. I mean you’re putting it up against the likes of the Golden Age arc of Berserk, or even the Conviction arc as well. And my own personal favorite shonen arc would have to be the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter. I do respect that someone has this arc graded this highly though because it truly was a gem to experience from start to finish. Here’s to hoping JJK continues to come out with fire such as this (only reason I say this is because I’m letting the source material build up and have not read too much past the Shibuya Incident arc).
Wait... His ability to implant false memories?... *Has flashbacks*.. I thought it was a coincidence 😭 He doesn't know does he?
I just got my friends into jjk and they refuse to read the manga. They just saw the movie and they have no clue how Geto is back or why be has a scar. It's so fucking hard to keep that shit in until we get the arc animated. I honestly can't wait to see their reactions to pseudo-geto, nanamis death, nobara getting taken out, toji returning, or sukuna letting lose. I'm personally most excited to see Kenjaku use Maximum Uzumaki because I hope they recreate the panel of mahito as Mr. Saito from Uzumaki
this is the arc that hooked me in jjk
Yessssssssss can't wait for the anime
So if Sukuna killed Mahoraga, Megumi wont be able to use it again ?
If yes, will his powers be paases onto other shikigamis ?
No Sukuna killing mahoraga just canceled the ritual since megumi didn’t already control mahoraga
This arc is one of the best I've ever read
Hey dude give blood blockade battlefront a try completely underrated
Sukuna murdered so much humans in his domain expansion just so he could save megumi
I love your content bro. Seriously
This arc was 🔥
its not actully geto, since he died in the movie, its kenjaku(idk how to say his name) using getos dead body.
Daddy Toji is back
Already sub cuz these vids are the best 😎🤟
Gojo needed to go. Having a character so much stronger than the rest of the cast hurt the narrative gravely
Not if they're done right & he has been throughout the series. There are ways to keep him outta fights like in the tournament arc, have him travel to deal with other threats like the cursed womb or spread him thin like Shibuya. For an overarching arc having him sealed is a great way to handle it but not the only way b/c we know some veils can keep him out & there's a lot of old sorcerers with powerful techniques being revealed. Just like with Yuta they could make him take on a colony alone so we could see him but he'd only affect the story so much
Nah, if anything gege did a great job handling gojo
Yeah I think they’ve done fine with him
Gojo is one of the few op anime characters I like. His powers are kinda bs to me, like dude can’t be touched literally. He more than makes yo for that in his character value. JJK weaved a barrage of gunfire in terms of cliches and plot holes when they wrote Gojo. Yes, Gojo is the big bro of JJK no one wants smoke with, but he’s also a genuinely likeable character, that serves his narrative role of teacher, badass and comedian.
I will say that while he does change some throughout the story but for the most part, he’s maintained his same ideals and goals and he’s never tested. That’s the unavoidable drawback of having a character that broken. But things have the potential to change drastically when he gets free from the prison realm. A lot of shit went down, seeing his students get murdered and seeing all his hard work at achieving his dream be lost might be a trigger that could activate a true character arc for Gojo as well. It would literally have to be that because the only other option is he stays in the prison cause no one is beating him if he turns.
Good character base, interesting, if broken, powers and the potential to have a character progression on par with zuko.
It’s still fuck his powers tho. When it was first fully explained how broken Gojo is my first fear is that madara reincarnated into another anime to solo that universe too. I was pleasantly surprised seeing the opposite happen
MHA decides to go dark, it's gonna b hard to compare MHA to JJK tone wise.
I like both but when they get animated, ohh shit that's gonna b tough
So I haven't gone past chapter of the manga and with everything I've been hearing about the Shibuya incident arc (all spoiler-free ofcourse so I am un-spoiled) I am on the fence if I should read it or wait till the anime gets to it.
Would like your opinion,
Type 1 if you feel I should read or 2 if you feel I should wait for it to be animated.
Just read it because you're going to watch it regardless
@@DBZimran JJK is very complicated and there is SOOO much going on in the Shibuya arc that I would read it before the anime. I don't think it in anyway will spoil it, it may make it so you can enjoy it more because you won't be trying to figure out some of the techniques and stuff going on or worrying about the timeline so much because a bunch of this is happening simultaneously.
It’s kinda weird how you can read and analyze all of JJK and misunderstand Yuji and and Choso’s relationship. They are literally biological brothers, this is explained just a couple chapters after
yes many cast members died but its still best arc
Akutami has confirmed nobara is dead, she could be brought back to life in the future however. As of now though she is dead :(
Well atleast she’s com back regardless
@@opposite_hedgehog_753 after re reading up to current chapter ima be honest… she dead, I don’t think she coming back
@@MoAbExpert1133 after analyzing this. Gege is bringing her back since only her left face is damaged and Nitta stop the injury from getting worse. In storytelling if you introduced a healer/medic over a dead character or injured and say their is a slim chance. They 100% coming back and the way Gege did poorly hide her status unlike most characters that died. She’s coming with a massive power boost (Reverse Curse Technique like Gojo). Because that backstory is unreliable.
@@opposite_hedgehog_753 I know what ur saying, to each their own. Imo nobara never really did much as a character and she was the perfect one out of the 3 mains to die at the expense of making yuji stronger as a character. The way the culling games are going and the fact that in 1 year the manga is ending paired with the fact that gege himself took to twitter and declared her dead… I personally think she did her job and she’s gone now, I mean she even got a cool last one liner like nanami when he died. I would really love for ur theory to be correct and I hope it is. I’m just doubtful
@@MoAbExpert1133 I doubt Gege is going to finish JJK by one year with all the plot points and details unanswered. Also he said three major arcs (Shibuya, culling games, and the final arc). Which means JJK is going to be ending either 2024 or 2025 as most manga writers are not accurate with their end dates.
Also even if Nobara comes back she won’t be a same person and will have a new character arc to make her better written and develop with or without Yuji. And recently on Twitter she’s declared severely injured. And I think the Gege interview was around 2020 jump festa. But months later he protracted and say “I don’t know she’s dead or not”. Mainly because he wants to bring her back stronger and better written. Otherwise Gege should never written Nobara to begin with.
I was just rereading chapter 120 (chosen randomly) and well, it still hurts like hell ;_; not to mention a certain girl's fate, I'm still traumatized.
Please don't get me wrong I love the Shibuya Arc but I disagree about the best Manga arc because I see the Dark Tournament arc and Soul Society arc are better than this arc.
Unreal arc
After shibuya arc, the culling game arc i dropped this manga, it just all over the place, no coherent narrative, exposition dump in massive amount, it just a light novel at this point, it feels like the author wanted to change the story mid way and introducing new world, new character dumped out of nowhere like stern ritters in bleach, there to just fight and killed, gags are fell off in newer season, hard topic writing is predictable and man i just hate seeing it that way, i really really enjoy everything until the shibuya arc
Spoiler alert !!, look at zen'in family, they built up with these character in the MIDDLE, not in the beginning, they only plaster up names then the whole family introduced, i was expecting a war or something it just for a sake of the growth of ONE character the entire family exist, why... Just why... Why are they built up like that, the leader clan fighting yuuji and wanting to kill fushiguro, give us all out war for that, it just boil down to a joke "i will be the next heir of zen'in family" the next page it's read "that day the zen'in family massacred
Exactly, the current arc kinda random not only that and as you said some chapters give you the impression that you're reading a light novels and not reading a chapters.
I remember someone said that some chapters needs to be read for more than 3 times to understand them because of the amount of information that the chapters have and this is exactly what I felt in the current arc at that time I said to myself I need to stop reading JJK until this arc gets finished.
why would there be a all out war against the zenins.
Culling games arent even that complicated.
@@pomepau7082 ya lol some people exaggerate it to be complicated when it is actually easy to understand.Sure there are some things that needs a reread to understand but even those aren't complicated
The reason why choso saw false memories was because choso and yuji are both related to kenjaku
Nice video please upload yuji extermination arc
this is my favourite arc
"The best manga arc" is a big of a stretch
Nobara could've been given a better story-end (true), however... looking for equality between protagonists in anime is foolish, watch american comics if you want to see that. Even Nobara once said she doesn't care about "woman this, man this, woman that, man that, nonsense" during her fight with Momo in the tokyo-kyoto exchange school event.
Here's a summary. The enemy took out Superman and all hell broke loose. They should change the arc's name to The Main Man Nanamin's Last Stand.
Very nice video 😊😊😊😊👍
In this arc the villians keep on coming and making it impossible to win...really without gojo jujutsu sorceres are nothing
What're the songs in the video? Also great video 🤝🏽
The song at 2:15
Yeah wtf was up with the fake memory thing with choso... like did yuji do that? That bit confused me so much
Mate there is an audio issue
Refresh the video please, the audio works on my end.
Yuji does not have a memory altering ability. He is literally related to Chozu. It is revealed at the end of the arc. Please confirm before making ridiculous statements.

Personally the golden age arc from berserk n the slave/farm arc from Vinland saga are the best also the shibuya arc is up there but not better
I guess he meant as per shounen

Exactly 💯.
No the shibuya insdent is just so damm good i can t campret to the other arcs
Nobara dies, I riot
what are you talking about? this is rubbish, the best manga arc is the golden age arc from berserk
dawg i hate how toji dies once again man
No audio?
Refresh the video please, the audio works on my end.
@@DBZimran ok thanks
Audio?
Refresh the video please, the audio works on my end.
This manga is getting seemingly more and more expensive to animate 😂
I don’t think Kenjaku is a curse tho?
11:30 no, thats not an ability
Please make a video of "Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World"
Touji should just stayed alive
ok so, ! GeGe has stated many times that JJK is highly influence by BLEACH, not hunte hunter, and Geto is not being controlled by a curse, hes being controlled by a sorcerer from a long time ago, who had the ability to swap his brain between bodies. Also Mehamaru had nothing to do with the Yuji vs Choso fight...where are you getting this from...Please know what youre talking about before yo speak about it. I went easy,but alot of people will tear into you forr getting shit wrong.
Geto isn’t being controlled. He’s dead and Kenjaku (the sorcerer from a long time ago) just took his body. Gojo killed Geto in JJK0
Mechamaru was informing and giving him advice in the Choso fight
THEORY: Final Fights in Jujutsu Kaisen
Kenjaku VS Gojo
Megumi VS Sukuna
Itadori VS Mahito
I think Nobara and Yuji vs Mahito could work thematic as they are both natural enemies and wants vengeance for her face. If Mahito comes back
@@pomepau7082 honestly I think she’s alive since she is a tritagonist and yet have a character development
recency bias, it is not the best manga arc. it is one of the best
The Goku problem 😂
From future to say: nobara is dead
I like to believe that the phase “shit hitting the fan”, wouldn’t be enough to describe the absolute chaos that this fantastic arc brings.
I believe the term is fubar
Also you can't compare it to anything...the standard should be this ark and then, we can compare other works with this
@@DarkButterflyChikageYeah The shibuya incident is incomparable to other shonen. Honestly it feels like if you took the war arcs of a late series shonen like MHA where the villain scaling is just absurd and they’ve been plotting for a fat minute then throw the protagonists from the first training arc into it.
Nothing goes well bc how tf could it? The rest of the series is genuinely just everyone trying to figure out how the fuck anything is happening and why; + how the tf are they gonna survive much less win
The memories that Todo and Choso had in their encounters with Yuji actually are NOT a cursed technique from Yuji himself. Gege confirmed this as well, they happened for entirely different reasons, it’s somewhat explained at the end of Shibuya in choso’s case.
Thank you for posting this! I think this went over most peoples head. Choso explains this
I think they are techinically brothers, itadori and choso as we see a scene with yujis mom and dad back when he was a baby and we see hi mom with the head stitch’s just like geto has when he is posssesed by the guy
@@fork4207 kenjaku literally confirmed a few chapters ago that Yuji is his son. Yuji is part cursed spirit which is why he has crazy strength. Chapter 160 is what confirms this too
@@fishnutz5196 We don’t know if he’s part cursed spirit yet since Kenjaku is a sorcerer/human.
@@xBrandon888 correct i should have worded what i said better. And i guess Choso is a cursed womb. Im also curious as to why Yuji and Sukuna look so much alike.
My favorite part of the arc has to be Sukuna appearing.. The way Gege doesn't disappoint with him is top tier... The anime is gonna go insane with this arc..
Facts
facts… he holds no bars with Sukuna
Sukuna is my favourite anime character.
Man's just shows up and decimated an entire town then bounced lmao.
a few weeks ago i bought volume 14 of jjk before even reaching there in the story turns out it start right in the climax of jogo vs sukuna and ends right as mahito "kills" nobara sage to say one of my best purchases
I think Nanami here is slightly misunderstood. I don't think he didn't trust Yuji, he explicitly says that he considered Yuji's life more important and believed that the problem with curses was something for the adults to deal with and not for the kids. This is only thing he agrees with Gojo. He later sees Yuji's growth as a person and let's him fight along in his fight.
When you think about it, having a big climactic event like Shibuya this early in a series is quite unusual. I can´t think of anything in other shonen (or seinen but they are typicly structured different by nature) manga simillar or bigger in scale and stakes that started even before the 100th chapter.
Exactly when I heard stories about this arc I’m like damn already it’s going crazy like this? I been seen it for myself and I was like 😯 shit this is crazy
I also think in this era it is kind of needed at the same time. Most anime fans now want smaller stories with high action and good characters. I for one cant get into long running series as im getting older, as much as i love One Piece and Bleach i couldnt start another series like that haha
The only equal I can think of is the Pain Invasion arc.
@@JGD44 Is that Naruto? Have only watched unttill the beginning of Forrest of Death but fell off. Told myself that I would watch/ read both Naruto and One Piece this year but it’s not going well lol.
The closest thing I can think of is possibly the war arc in My Hero Academia. It sort of just happens out of nowhere and is pure chaos from beginning to end
Todo didn't actually utilize his curse technique before the final blow. That was, again, a distraction.
Mahito is also gone since Kenjaku absorbed him and got his transfiguration thing by extracting the technique, if I recall.
Also when he does that, it no longer grows in power. Which is why he took so long to just take him. Yuuji helped Mahito grow.
I’m happy someone else caught that lol
YES, i feel like everyone brushes over the fact that Mahito is not his own anymore. AND what makes it worse is that he was absorbed when he reached his peak as a curse so if kenjaku brings him back, he'll be strong af
@@alycatt2016 There is not any bringing him back, though?
He can just utilize him as a minion at best.
@@asdergold1 that's what's i was wondering too, kenjaku has only brought back special grade curses (tamamo no mae, smallpox deity, and kurourushi) that we had never seen really have their own personality like mahito and the other special grade curses. who knows if the curse personality stays the same or if that changes too. I also wonder how many special grade curses there are right now because i think geto said in volume zero that there were 16 special grade curses. But then he 😵 so he probably wasn't counting mahito and the others because they didn't exist at the time. but then, i'm pretty sure a few special grade curses were exorcised so now the original number i thought is wrong. sorry, i went iff topic but i have questioning that too
True
Actually Gege akutami has debunked that memory manipulation theory. The Todo stuff was just a gag. Choso's situation has been revealed to be different from Todo's and there is a reason for that.
yh they are actually related and chosos memory seemed like a realisation whilst todou was an imagination
I wonder if Gege always says truth, I mean what kind of an author would want to reveal their own mysteries by not using the story itself?
The MOMENT Nobara started having a backstory flashback, I immediately knew she was going to die. That being said, if it is a feint by the author to exploit that trope, it's an odd way of doing it. As you said, she doesn't really have a goal beyond fighting curses so making her death here isn't tragic for her character only Yuji's. This feels like the start of a transformation for her new character goal or her obtaining reversed curse technique since the author reminded us on her reason for her becoming a sorcerer in the first place through the flashback rather than the end of her character.
I don't know if we'll get another Maki...
@@cynxmanga what’s wrong with having more strong female characters. Nobara has a potential with the fact she easily damaged him. I’m betting the core of curse energy resurrection will happen like Gojo. But expect a massive character change.
@@opposite_hedgehog_753 I mean, I'm totally not against the idea, it just seems to me she would have to reappear with new strenght but in a different way than Maki. I wouldn't want Nobara's transformation look too similar to Maki's experience.
@@cynxmanga I think Gege puts a lot of thoughts when he chose them as the main leads. The way he wrote them, he had planned for them all. The main trio I believe will have a big role in the endgame.
Nobara's MIA status is the beginning of her new development and a power up. Ex. see Maki and Yuta who had not appear in many chapters, once they come back, Gege gives them the spotlight which they deserve. I don't think Nobara is the exception, Gege has a lot of stuff on his sleeves, it won't suprise me if Nobara's come back in the most suprising way.
Learning about her character as the one who are the most well-define in who she is, it's not impossible with Gege starting her comeback where she's at her weakest point. In which the damage that Mahito's cuz on her making her lost sense of who she is. Or worst Kenjaku has a plan perhaps, half of her through the idle transfiguration already possesed by him therefore Nobara's true fight is where she struggles to keep her real self, and not letting Kenjaku fully possesed her.
When gege akutami shows you someone's past, that character may get a goode comeback. So fingers cross for Nobara. I think nobara is more mature than both boys but she still hasn't learned an important part of life- mercy which yuji possess.
