100% agree with this analysis of Shoko. Don't get too many in depth pieces on her. If jjk focused more on how jujutsu society interacts with the larger Japanese government I think we would've. Shoko's healing abilities would definitely be a major part in jujutsu society and government interactions

new jjk chapter is so interesting to me. bc i realized that a lot of the people commenting on shoko right now have a very different opinion of her character and her relationship with gojo than me....

Bro was in his quarantine skin routine era prepping on his opps

chapter 91 sealed chapter 221 unsealed

he came back more beautiful than ever.

IT TOOK 1184 DAYS BUT HE'S BAAACKKKK

i was here, wasn’t i?

“I was there too”

Seeing Miwa made me realize Miwa arc was dead on arrival

so that sick ass panel of miwa in sendai meant nothing??

I'm in pain

I feel bad for not feeling much about Tsumiki. Its like her whole purpose is for megumi manpain. What are the chances of her character being fleshed out?

After chapter 219, almost nothing. Sadly, she's just a side character, a minor one.

I can't keep defending this cat anymore

only reason this cat's still beating the misogyny allegations is because maki exists

Ten Shadows Technique

Yeah, let's talk about the Ten shadows technique. Again.

Ten shadows technique is derived from the lore of Tokusa no kandakara (十種神宝) or Ten sacred treasures from the Shintoism lore. These are the symbols that depict them - and most of these can also be found engraved on the shikigami summoned using the technique

Okitsukagami (Mirror of the Deep) -- Toad (Fushiguro's)

Hetsukagami (Mirror of the Shore) -- Max Elephant (both Fushiguro's and Sukuna's)

Yatsuka no tsurugi (Eight hands Long Sword) -- Makora (not engraved clearly like most, but literally in its name when Fushiguro summoned it)

Ikutama (Jewel of Life)

Makarukaeshi no tama (Jewel of Resuscitation) -- Round Deer (Sukuna's; very perfect with its use for reverse curse energy)

Tarutama (Jewel of Plenty) -- Black Jade Dog (Fushiguro's)

Chikaeshi no tama (Jewel of turning back on the Road) -- White Jade Dog (Fushiguro's). The combination of Tarutama and Chikaeshi no tama's symbols make up the symbol on Kon Jade Dog.

Orochi no hire (Snake[-repelling] Scarf)

Hachi no hire (Bee[-repelling] Scarf) -- Piercing Ox (Sukuna's)

Kusagusa no mono no hire (Scarf [to ward off] Various Things)

That leaves Nue, Escape Rabbit, and Serpent. Serpent should be ikutama by the glimpse of it, but it's unclear. So Nue and Rabbit would be Orochi no hire and Kusagusa no mono no hire.

After a few years of guessing game, we finally have the full roster of shikigami army that the Ten Shadows technique can summon. Although with unexpected twist of not one, but two users.

I'm hoping marriage isn't actually our idea of it. She seemed fine enough with Sukuna being a corpse. Hope it's something messed up like a fusion or ability swap/ combination. Think Uraume's bath not just being a bath. It's possible CTs can be constructed via mixing of bloodlines. Until Gege actually tells us how CTs form and why bloodlines are important we'll just have to keep on guessing.

JJK 218: I have mixed feelings

My impression from the last chapter stands: I like Yorozu a hell of a lot. She's strong and she's batshit crazy, and the backstory from this chapter establishes her as one of the strongest incarnated sorcerers. Among all the new characters introduced in the Culling Games, I'd say she and Higuruma are my favorites.

Plus, her technique, especially her armor, is pretty cool. The bug aspect is interesting, and the design of the armor is also damn nice. I like how bulky and sturdy it is, and seeing her physically throw Sukuna around was fucking amazing.

It's her, uh, motivation I have trouble getting into. On the one hand, her complete yandereness is fun. I know marriage became the focus later, but she started with the claim that she wanted to be the one to kill Sukuna and wanted him to be the one to kill her, and I like that sort of dynamic. And in this chapter as well, how much of her "love" is tied up in violence appeals to me.

B u t the target of said affection being Sukuna kind of ruins it. Not because I don't understand her rationale (I do appreciate that this chapter showed she fixated on him because they're both peerless in strength and she, at least, is lonely because of it) but because Sukuna doesn't really have the kind of reactions that make this one-sided attraction entertaining. Look at this:

I was cringing all through those last few panels. Just...no. Nope. No thank you.

It's similar to why Hana's thing for Megumi held no appeal for me, even if Gege did make a cursory attempt at showing it's a childhood fixation that escalated further. Women being this gone over men who don't give a fuck or are mocking them is a dynamic that actively puts me off. It wasn't fun when it was Sakura x Sasuke, and it ain't fun now.

Yorozu, seriously, you can do better.

Feeling really normal

I rationalize Uro being naked as her doing the same exact thing Sukuna did after waiting a thousand yrs for incarnation. Tore off her clothes in excitement and used her CT to cover herself after she realized how dumb that was.

"jjk female cast is the best, stop hating!"

i don't like nobara she's rude loud & annoying, I hate the way she treats yuuji *vine boom sfx* yuki's most pronounced character trait is asking what someone's type is *boom* miwa has blue hair but no pronouns *boom* shoko is constantly being overshadowed by gojo & geto *boom* utahime's personality is hating gojo, what's her relevance to the story? *boom* tsumiki is a human-shaped plot device *boom* mai is depicted as a weak sorcerer plus she's a hater for the sake of hating, she reminds me of misogynistic women *boom* riko is a plot device in human form also *boom* uro is basically ecchi fanservice *boom* momo has been as relevant to the story as a pair of socks *boom* I have no words for remi *boom* hana's whole motivation stems from being a simp for megumi *boom* yorozu's personality literally is being a sukuna simp *boom*

maki is the only female character that has achieved real character development

I like mei mei, she's strong, independent & evil, she keeps serving cunt & boss bitch realness. I am pretending ui ui doesn't exist. *several vine boom sfx in short succesion*

He's never beating the misogyny allegations after Yorozu

only reason this cat's still beating the misogyny allegations is because maki exists

I hope we get more of Shoko in the future
