Yeah but going into more detail is that the state of your mind can significantly change the flow of ce in your body and 257 proves that by having yuji lock in so damn much that the concentration of ce in his hands are a guarantee that he's going to hit a black flash ( I might br exaggerating on the guarantee part but it definitely made a increase in the chances of hitting a black flash)

Yuji hit black flashes every single time he needed to. He never needed one and then couldnt hit it. He even faints black flashes against mahito for the win. And mahito thinks the first punch is going to be a black flash, but Yuji switches hands. Yujis always been able to do it "at will" in the sense he hits them when he needs to. His first one he hit like his second try, ever. And he was actively trying to hit them against hanami.

@@brob657 Which wasn't because of YUJI failing, but CHOSO for throwing off YUJI'S concentration. You remember how Mahito took off armor on one side of his body, so that Yuji's punch would land a millisecond later than expected, thus ruining his concentration for Black Flash which needs to be perfectly landed in the millionth of a second? Choso did the exact same thing by forming armor under his clothing, leading Yuji to prematurely hit him a few inches earlier than he expected, thus ruining his ''flow state''.

[@normal6483]

In the newest chapter, it was mentioned that a Black Flash makes a "cursed energy circuit/relay" in the brain, which allows other parts of your brain to be involved in manipulating cursed energy. I think that's a big part in determining what a Black Flash is - it's when you put your *whole self* into achieving your goal. That's why the speech Todo gave Yuji was that to achieve Black Flash requires living with your entire body at once, rather than just moving energy around you. It's about oneness and wholeness, which makes sense considering the strong Buddhist themes in the series. I read an article about a guy who was brain-dead in 95% of his brain, but who walked and talked like a regular person, because his spinal cord had taken up all the activities normally reserved for his brain. And a friend of mine with Dissociative Identity Disorder (aka split personalities) mentioned that the reason the disorder shows up tends to be because of a lot of dissociation during the identity formation stage of childhood, leading to the brain being unable to form an identity normally and instead splintering. When I brought up the aforementioned spinal cord brain guy, she said that it often felt like a lot of her identities were different parts of her brain forming identities of their own. Basically, different parts of her nervous system took up the role of identity formation because the part that normally does it wasn't working, so she ended up with a bunch of different identities. And you know what that mirrors perfectly? Sukuna using different parts of his brain to take on the burden of cursed energy manipulation so he can cast a Domain Expansion despite being brain damaged. And he only did that after he achieved two Black Flashes - after he achieved oneness with his whole self. So basically, when you achieve oneness and wholeness with yourself while devoting yourself entirely to a specific cause, you can achieve a Black Flash. And since you're now "in the zone" and are acting with 100% of your brain directed towards a single goal, you can achieve a Black Flash easier because the previous Black Flash put you into that "oneness" mindset.

[@MasterNabber]

This is super interesting especially the spinal cord part, Buddhist and scientific themes seem to work quite well together.

[@VyDovah]

Sorry, reread that chapter. Gojo set up a unique REVERSE cursed energy relay by consciously splitting the workload between different regions of his brain. Sukuna wasn’t capable of doing this. Yuji isn’t doing this.

[@Alchemy_And_Anarchy]

@@VyDovah You missed the point of the comment. Becoming one with himself and striking a black flash is what allows Gojo to set up the circuit in the first place. Striking a flash is what allows Sukuna to shift the load of his domain to other parts of his brain, and it’s pointed out that he would’ve regained RCT like Gojo did if not for Yuji’s Soul-Shaking Punches causing his soul to dissociate with Megumi’s body. Yuji himself quite literally awakens like Gojo did against Toji and gains access to a new technique, which are engraved into the brain.

I looked up the braindead guy. He wasn't braindead. He was literally missing 90% of his brain.

[@Purple_Jades]

[@Obelg]

Nanami saying that 4 consecutive black flashes is his *record* hints that he has dished them out before but just not as much consecutively. So Gojo only having hit 5 in his lifetime is absurdly low. You gotta remember. The world of jjk has existed long before the first chapter and these people have been going on missions for years to decades. That's more than enough of a chance to land a dozen or two

[@rushpatriot2866]

Honestly bro if I was gojo I'm trying to hit black flash Everytime I throw a punch doesn't matter if it's the weakest curse in existence

[@shadow-faye]

If he had never hit one before it would still be a record

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

He doesn't need to, limitless is an auto-win condition in most fights.

[@mattiasilva1705]

The thing with BF being used so rarely depend in many many factors. One of them was the durability of the opponents. Before the Manga started, the average power level of the cursed spirits were never that high,ranking at worst into multiple grade 1. The special class were extremely rare until the kenjaku gathered Hanami, jogo, Dagon and mahito togheter. The average blackflash, expecially by a top dog,meant a complete insta-kill like 90% of the times,so it was impossible to extend to record above some flew ones. Nanami himself managed to break the previous record with 4 consecutive only because, during the movie, he was fighting an almost endless wave of bug curses, which gave him the chance to break the record. That was the "lucky" chance nanami was talking about. And for gojo, he scored so flew black flashes mostly because, with limitless + six eyes, the range of opponents he could land one on was extremely limited considering even a single blue was enought to destroy the average foe.

[@ssarniguet9320]

I bring this up every time Black Flash is the topic of discussion, because I think it's really cool. Basically, there's a book I read, pretty short, titled Zen in the Art of Archery. The topic is kyudo, the traditional Japanese form of archery, and how the author's kyudo instructor used it to teach the principles of Zen. Evidently this is common to lots of Japanese traditions, from martial arts to stuff like calligraphy and flower arrangement, i.e., using them as a "way in" to talk about Zen. And I think GeGe used that as inspiration for Black Flash. The majority of the book deals with the task of firing an arrow, which is extremely difficult in kyudo because once you draw the bow, you don't decide on your own when to let go. You have to maintain that position until the arrow naturally leaves your grip. It's compared to the way snow will collect on a leaf, then when enough of it gathers, it spontaneously, organically falls off without movement from the leaf. When the archer manages to do this, to patiently hold the drawn arrow until it lets itself fly, the author and his teacher describe this sort of "rush," this feeling of being simultaneously omnipotent and immersed in nature. Like they're a conduit for some force of nature that acts through them as instantaneously as a bolt of lightning. So that's basically Black Flash, right? By focusing intently, like insane levels of focus, and tightening up the timing on their cursed energy control as much as possible, a sorcerer can create the conditions for a Black Flash. However, they can only create the conditions for it. Nevertheless, if they land one, they instantly gain insight into the nature of their own cursed energy and cursed energy as a whole. We see Nanami describe it as this feeling of being "in the Zone," like the world's revolving around you, but I bet another way you could put it is that it's like the barrier between the individual sorcerer and cursed energy as a force of nature breaks down, and it's like cursed energy is acting through them instead of them using cursed energy. Black Flash isn't just a huge boost to damage output, and it isn't just a tune up to cursed energy efficiency, either. It's like a gateway into enlightenment, like becoming one with the universe of cursed energy. I think that's rad as hell.

[@depressedasfook2893]

As an archery practitioner, it's exactly right there are days where I focus on my technical skills and do well but not perfect and then there are moments where I can thread my arrow through the shaft of a carbon fiber arrow it's truly empty mind natural flow that does it

[@mechasatsu6214]

If Black Flashes are like "critical hits", then Yuji definitely have the highest rate since his CT is Left Right Goodnight. Add the fact that it sends you into a Zone state, you are basically adding a multiplier for the Critical Chances. Yuji's efficiency in handling his CE, and his determination to go all in against his enemies, then you'll have a great formula to get the Sparks of Black in your favor.

Something I’ve wondered, and haven’t seen talked about, in regard to, the Black Flash: could someone like Hakari land a black flash? And given his domain that gives him unlimited cursed energy for 4 mins, 11 seconds, would he be able to land as many Black Flashes as Yuji has, if he was able to better control cursed energy? Since we know he can’t control reverse cursed energy, it just kinda happens when he needs to be healed. And maybe he is good with cursed energy manipulation and I’ve just forgotten. But if he isn’t, then that’d make for an interesting what if video maybe? Good for thought. Love your videos!

[@lynnusuk2092]

I don’t think Hakari is that good with curse energy manipulation since his domain makes everything automatic. Yuta who had to rely on manual curse energy manipulation couldn’t even explain fully how his rct usage work.

[@Creepers_On_Fire]

@@Hayden_Lummushahaha 120% hahaha

[@dagdamor1]

I wonder if there are any hidden aspects of Black Flash, specifically if landing so many in a short span of time causes the Black Flash power-ups / 120% potential awakening to stack, even partially. I know the sample size isn't big enough for the people in the setting to make concrete conclusions, seeing that they only have Nanami on record landing a handful of them in immediate succession, and Gojo was never going to need more than a couple Black Flashes to annihilate anyone below Sukuna or Mahoraga's level, But I get the sneaking suspicion that if someone was landing dozens of Black Flashes in a single fight, they'd be gaining FAR more momentum than someone who landed just one.

[@nemasisdemarini8339]

It probably does, just with diminishing return. Since, cause you're technically still in the same state, it's probably just adding the base amount on top, without having reset the baseline yet. So doing 2 or 3 in a row would make it seem like a huge gain, after 4 or 5 it would become less and less for what your new total would be. And to add on that, though we have seen it a good amount, just getting a single black flash is actually really rare most of the time, let alone consecutive ones. The main reason it seems less so currently, is cause we are near constantly seeing some of the best in the verse getting pushed to their limit, over and over again. So they end up pulling them off with a good bit more frequency than what would be normal.

[@ismaashawsome4685]

Given the last two chapters, this comment has aged quite well

I think that while black flash puts a sorcerer into the "Zone" state, that it takes kinda reaching that point on one's own before the flash to really use one at first. If not then we'd see characters landing them totally randomly as their first hit in a fight and then get that massive advantage. Almost to the point that while the series says it is a result of the black flash, that it feels more like the flash and the zone state are tandem abd happen simultaneously. Also added to this is the intuition some charactees get that someone is about to land one.

[@justrad7637]

yuji actually hit 8 in a row lately + one almost bursting sukunas heart + one he hit with nobara also yujis total was above 5 already before that as he landed 4 against hanami and 2 against mahito so 6 at least so that'd be 8 +6 +1 +1 so 16 total

I think that yuji could be using a binding vow of some sort to execute so many black flashes when he was fighting sukuna in chapter 256 and 257. This binding vow could give yuji the "flow" needed to execute black flashes but with a drawback. I don't know what could this drawback be.

I like to compare the black flashes to the thread from Kimetsu no Yaiba, whenever someone is about to hit a black flash, is like they are able to see through their opponent, like if they knew they already won the fight. When Todo landed his black flash, he was essentially able to predict the outcome of the swap with the rock and his kick, like he knew that kick will land no matter what. Every Black flash Yuji landed on to Mahito, again he already knew he had won. When Gojo landed his first black flash against Sukuna, he tricked Sukuna by delaying red’s detonation, just like when a demon hunter smells the thread to cut the demon’s head, before landing the blow, they already know that blow is 100% hitting no matter what

[@shadowslime3640]

Imagine a black flash clash. A Black Clash. Or even worse my god Yuji using a black flash divergent fist combo.

[@tiosevenstars]

You just need that wind up panel with savage stare right before lol

[@artisticmikey3089]

I think black flash works similar to heavenly restriction, where the user gives up what is precious to them (winning) in order to gain (bet) on their attacks

12:30 oh no, the background music...

[@CarsonRBrown]

Yuji is at 17 black flashes now I believe

[@o_sagui6583]

In short In the world of the black flash, it's either you die or he dies, no in-between. A perfect blend of hatred, spite and a drive to survive

[@cokeweasel1064]

It's like being "in the zone" in a shooter

08:20 frisk would cook here

[@HyperDrifter_EN]

"you need the skill to capitalize on your luck"

[@maximilian7894]

yuji hit 3 black flashes against mahito. After Todos speech, after the switch and to beat him.

[@rickn6923]

this is great analysis and I appreciate your video. I have to ask though, what the hell is that game that keeps playing with the Minecraft looking block fighters? Lol

[@No_one448]

It depends on the being and the opposing being. Well if you're not complete that is.

[@vabrico]

this proves that megumi still is a bum ass sorcerer

[@jogosengracados1923]

Between the scattering sparks of black, Yuji Itadori awakens.

[@CoolPlayer51]

hitting a black flash is like hitting a frame perfect trick in a videogame or smthg idk

[@Ruritsu]

It's like that but apparently multiple thousands of times more precise on the timing and the particular tick you gotta hit the input on changes on a case by case basis. Only way to do it is just go for it, be locked in and hope you're as goated as you feel.

[@michaelkay7999]

Black flashes are not random. They happen whenever the author needs them to.

[@low-keyvibin3189]

Hype Focus Locked in 🗿

[@SylasCorrea]

man i really wished jjk was longer

[@crannberi]

This interpretation just retroactively makes Nanami so much cooler.

[@jaxsondav9546]

The effects of a black flash are like hitting a bunch of drugs in fallout. Yuji is probably not breaking a sweat rn

[@donsauyce9156]

Fire editing fam

[@bishal7711]

Yuji: I wanna -be a super saiyan- land a black flash, I WANNA, I WANNA,I WANNA
