KUSAKABE VS SUKUNA... | Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 254 Review

[@acetofresh1]

Beneath all the whiney bad faith nonsense, this chapter actually turned out very good. We got fulfilled conclusion to Kusakabe’s character, more developing of the power system and direct connection to the JJK world building with a foreigner. It kind of shows there is indeed a payoff coming to this gauntlet and the major purpose of it is to contrast Sukuna with these characters, which is how Akutami uses Sukuna who is a static character like villains tend to be, for character development for supporting guys. Yes, there seems to be a formula, but I think what’s actually occurring feels pretty different each time. Hating on JJK is just becoming the popular TikTok fan cause du jour.

It doesn't matter at this point if Miguel is special grade or not. Their biggest hitters have continually gotten clapped (Gojo, Yuta, Yuji, Maki) The B listers have been memed Ino / Higuruma / Choso Double Donut holes. Uraume continues the glazing saying Sukuna isn't even trying and hasn't used Black Box / Fuga. Also his other weapon Hiten hasn't popped up but has been shown throughout the series in flashbacks. Geges writing past the Gojo fight has been, sorcerer shows up shows off some moves Sukuna isn't even trying and bodies them. Repeat. It's trash We don't need to be reminded weekly Sukuna is the strongest. With his Domain expansion on the way back no one has been shown to have anywhere close to the same refinement save for Gojo.

[@ggwp638BC]

The pacing feels a bit stale right now, but on the re-read in the volume releases it will feel a lot better. The whole point of this is not just about how stronger Sukuna is, but the will of the sorcerers in defeating him. THIS is the f-ing "eternal battle against curses" in the name of the series. Just like how Sukuna beat everyone in the Heian Era, he is doing it once again in the modern era. Sukuna's philosophy is that getting together with others makes you weak. He is being fought by a bunch of weaklings who got together and are slowly, but surely, shaving off his powers. He may have a lot in the tank, but as it stands we only have Kashimo and Gojo "confirmed" dead (they are confirmed for all intents and purposes, but there is still the possibility of some shenanigans). Higuruma is a 50/50. Everyone else is very much alive and will soon be ready for a second round. Meanwhile, Sukuna lost the 10-S, lost his cursed tool (we have no idea if the other one will show up, but at this point I doubt it unless it's part of the CT), his output and CE total is slowly going down, he lost his heart and RCT is slowing down. The black flash may have pumped it up a bit, but the fact that he hit a blackflash already shows he is slowly being put on his back foot. Sukuna may not be giving his all, but that's good for the heroes. By the time he feels the pressure, he won't be in a position to answer with his full power.

I really expected sukuna to have launched his domain allready. As kusakabes whole stick is speciality in a technique that nullifies domains alongside being super smart. Haveing sukuna launch his domain while kusakabe tanks it forceing sukuna to use it for eons burning sukunas domain out. seems like what his role in this fight should have been for me. We know activateing it to many times frys the brain from the gojo vs sukuna fight so keeping active for prolonged periods of time also should have a similar affect.

[@numbermumber7382]

Honestly.... Can you list some ways how Sukuna loses? Especially the one that landed a Black Flash. I need some hope, so please share some insight.

[@kristophershephard7359]

@numbermumber7382 how much time do you have?

[@kristophershephard7359]

@numbermumber7382 1. Yuta ends up at the airport. Meets gojo who is headed South for warmer climates or an end to the supposed Nirvana because he feels he did enough for his students to win. Now if we compare Gojo to Buddha and the concept of Samsara then he is headed to the afterlife thinking he is fulfilled. Seeing Yuta and now knowing that he did enough to slow Sukuna but for his kids to lose means coming back. Is he Gojo the strongest because of the six eyes or is he the strongest because he is Gojo. Gojo tells Yuta to dry his tears and that he will never cry with those eyes again. Yuta is supposedly a member of the Gojo family tree and only one six eyes user at a time can exist so guess who comes back with the 6 eyes? Yuta. Also gojo tells him where he hid the isoH or 2. Gojo comes back because he realizes it takes a village and he did leave high schoolers to fight the GOAT sorcerer smh. He returns without the 6 eyes but with the knowledge that in order to be Gojo and not just a vessel of the 6 eyes he must go forth without it. 3. Sukuna has hit the black flash so his energy is returning to full power. He is still inside of Megumis body even though he is in his Heian Era evolution. Now while Sukuna has possessed Megumi sees all and such that Sukuna has done. Keep that in mind. Also during the Gojo fight Megumi has been hit with infinity so why is he not a drooling cabbage? He responds to Yuji right? Overtime he has been healing and he has been observing what Sukuna thinks and does during this time. Sukuna has subjugated the shadows and used their powers(while in Megumiform). Megumi is a prodigy and Mr potential so he's been learning from Sukuna but since Mahoraga adapted to infinity guess what? Megumi has been learning all information in the universe from the multiple limitless hits. Sukuna is actually repairing the damage done to his body. Now with that in mind do you remember Geto fighting back against Kenjaku? Something will cause Megumi to wake up. Whether it be another character being beat down(remember he hates bullies) or something and we could see Megumi complete Chimera Garden using Sukunas perfected form or even fusing his soul into a Megumi 10 shadows amalgamation with an internal domain clash(see what he did to Dagon).. His Chimera garden is perfect now from the limitless info and Sukuna already showing Megumis body using the water cannon against Gojo plus Sukuna at max power. Megumi with the powers of all the shikigami would be amazing. 4. Yuji is actually the first "death womb painting " except there's a twist. He's Sukunas triplet and Sukunas mom was Tengens twin. She chose life with a human. Sukunas mom had triplets in the womb. Sukuna absorbed the other brother but felt Yuji was weak or Yuji was born "dead"/discarded. This would explain the runt or knowing that face. We are pretty sure that Kenjaku was around at this point so he takes Yuji and studies him because of his love of science. There's something about this once. Over centuries Kenjaku tries to figure out a way to bring this creature to life(now we have the Cursed womb painting brothers). Technically since yuji hadnt grown up until Kenjaku have birth he is the youngest. The combination of the blood clan techniques and gravity were used to create this superhuman. If the gravity gene was internalized and a clan technique then it could explain Yujis feats. It could explain the power to release black flash easily if his body has been using internalized gravity powers. It would grant durability and strength potentially. Yujis power with the soul is from his original mom(Tengens sister and remember how they need to merge with the Star Plasma vessel? It's a power related to their family line). 5. All of this results in the final fight in which they beat down Sukuna(he might merge with Urame or posses the Tengen nugget since they are related) and since Megumi is in charge of the merger(named specifically) sukuna can't call it in. Now to end this sadly or happily. I think it'll be sad because I think Yuji, Sukuna and Tengen merge to be slain to end the whole dependency on JJKs old ways. The whole world learns to deal with cursed energy and bad things instead of the energy being pent up in Japan mostly. It'll be tough at first but humans will evolve. Yuji obtains Nirvana and can rest knowing his friends and now wiser teacher Gojo can go forth and seek to live. Ok I'm done. 😆

[@NN-cc8uo]

​​@@numbermumber7382​ - Megumi waking up and fights sukuna from inside, while yuji fights sukuna from outside. I know people clown on megumi a lot but there's just no way that Gege would leave Yuji's Sasuke (aka the deuteragonist) rotting to death like that. - Sukuna's merger doesn't work as intended and he's getting consumed instead as its vessel. - Some/one of the defeated fighters get healed and reveal new info possibly pertaining to sukuna's weakness as they fought him, giving the good guys an even chance to win. Honestly there's still plenty of things that they can do. As long as everyone is not definitely confirmed dead and Gege not leaving like only one fighter left that can take sukuna on then the good guys can always come back and try again. Or they can also bring in reinforcements from outside, like Miguel. Him showing up is almost definitely a good sign since that means Gege is capable and/or willing to use anyone and everyone of his characters that he has established in his own verse in order to take down the big bad guy. Many other series suffer from main character syndrome, i.e. the main character always gets the spotlight 90% of the time leaving no spot for any side character to shine/appear. Not in JJK. Here in this manga most of the characters will be given an adequate amount of spotlight before the end story reaches its conclusion. This continuous, running gauntlet with sukuna is just one such way to bring those characters into the fray. So really, all we need to do is be patient and let Gege do his own thing. We can definitely expect Gege to deliver after giving us such a huge build up in the final conflict. If he fails to do that... well, we can always criticize him (in civilized manner) when this manga ends. But not now. Now is the time to let Gege cook.

To be real, even Gojo acknowledged him in Zero. He said that guy is gonna be a pain. Not that he wasn’t stronger, we clearly know Gojo was stronger, but we can assume that he’s prolly 5-4th strongest good guy. Assuming Gojo 1, yuta 2, yuki tsukumo, then him or hakari. I’d also go on to say, he lasted 10 mins against Gojo. He survived a fight against that man, then was recruited to teach Yuta. It’s actually great to see him here. It’s a curve ball, which people hate cause everyone wants to be right in their prediction, but also, it allows us insight into understanding WHY Gojo trusted him with training yuta specifically. Maybe he gets 1 chaptered, or 2 chaptered, but it’ll be good insight and hopefully leads us closer to sukunas technique. Every character so far has shown 1 aspect of Sukuna, let’s see where Miguel goes

[@ggwp638BC]

This situation is completely different from Madara (so far). Madara started out fighting the 5 kage, and then Sasuke and Naruto had to build up towards Madara's power, and then Madara got even stronger, creating an arm's race that ended the way it did. Sukuna didn't get any stronger. He started at his peak against Gojo and has slowly but surely losing CE, output, RCT slowing down, getting damaged, soul damaged, lost a cursed tool, Mahoraga and the whole 10-Shadows (at least everything that went into Agito), etc. Sure, he got a temporary boost from the black flash, and created the World Slash, but his overall power has been going down steadily.

@@joelsantos3092 Not taking it seriously doesn't mean he is at the same power as he started. Bro is literally missing a heart and it will take time to heal it. Lost the 10S, lost a cursed tool, his healing was getting slower.

[@Zennesto]

Yall just want to not read and just complain bro… Every “death” so far against Sukuna has been productive, Gojo took his Domain Expansion and Ten Shadows, Kashimo forced Sukuna to reincarnate, Higuruma took his cursed tool, Yuta/Yuji damaged his soul and lowered his CE control/output, Maki damaged his soul/heart, Kusakabe is buying time for the others to use RCT…. Yes, ofc Sukuna still has tricks up his sleeve, the battle is ongoing, and he’s the King of Curses the GOAT in JJK, beating him shouldn’t and was never going to be easy… Plus as we know back in the Golden Heian era he used to get jumped like this and handled them too. But we already know the team has win conditions like the soul blade and Yuji’s punches, like what else do yall want?

[@bypyros1933]

You don't even know how it's going to end. And for now Jujutsu Kaisen tends to avoid shonen stereotypes, so it's hard to imagine the author making the same mistake as one of the most famous shonen manga of all time. Fans were sure Gojo was superior to Sukuna and then cried when that turned out to be wrong. You are going to make that mistake again.

Miguel The StallMan 🔥

[@senhorkorracha]

I wish Gege had more time to develop the story. These flashbacks are the only thing keeping Sukuna's showdown from becoming that video "The Slap".

[@kcenturflux5203]

I’m watching the review of the next chapter here . Great narrative man

[@codyz530]

At this point can you honestly say that this is good writing? I'd love to say the story is great and I love it, as much as the next fan but it just isn't right now. Sure maybe when future chapters come out and in hindsight Gege had a real plan all along, maybe not like Isayama level of planning but a plan nonetheless. But as things are right now, I cannot think of a logical way the story can continue without him pulling some bs or just using shock factor to progress the story (i.e. beating Sukuna) just because of how unbeatable Sukuna is right now. Yea Yuji got power ups, but he's miles away from beating Sukuna, the best purpose he served was acting as an assist to Yuta in weakening Sukuna's output. Objectively the best chance we had all along were Yuta Maki and Hakari (after Gojo's death) , now 2 of them are easily defeated by Sukuna (yes , easily, Maki did fuck all + the seemingly shit tons of damage dealt by yuta to Sukuna also ended up doing fuckall as if Sukuna has infinite health). Under this context, is there really a logical way where Yuji jumps from where he is now to surpassing Yuta Maki in a super short span of time? Even if that happens, how far off would he be compared to Sukuna? TLDR , Sukuna is literally unbeatable + there is no logical way for anyone to be able to beat him now due to Gege's own writing, and I would be delusional if I say this is good writing ( as much as l'd love to be proven wrong.

Jjk is getting that Naruto ending, I can feel it

[@Dbonesburneraccount]

Me personally I didn’t really like the Miguel reveal but I don’t think that makes me a gege hater lol I liked the Kusakabe stuff tho

[@trevor21241842]

The best performance against sukuna was when gojo literally knocked him unconscious. Too many contradictions and dead ends in this writing it’s really destroying the whole series with how bad they’ve wrote themselves into corners here. Gojo knocked him out but sukuna wasn’t even trying? Now all the sorcerers only attack one at a time instead of jumping him? They hype up a grade 1 who isn’t a special grade? It’s so dumb

[@Inluvwitamemory]

Not contradiction, sukuna was gambling on mahoraga showing him how to do, what ended up being, the world splitting dismantle. It has not just been 1v1s 😂, and kusukabe is only grade 1 due to a lack of ct and trying to keep himself away from danger! JJK IS PEAK

[@DaroriDerEinzige]

Miguel could - although that's just my cr*ckhead theory - also serve as somebody who drops somebody, who reminds Megumi that it isn't worth giving up. I mean, they put some barriers around Japan in the Heian Era to "focus" Cursed Energy there. Cursed Energy is generated by negative Emotions. Africa went through alot and it was earlier hinted that there are "Sorccerers" all around the globe. So, if the CE output all around the globe - except for Japan - is serverly "debuffed" ... Imagine what suffering generates their CE on the Level of Miguel & Co. Also, his special African Stuff was already a surprise to Gojo - Sukuna was always a guy who knew stuff a. from Megumi & Co but more importantly b. from his intensive studies back in the Heian Era in which the whole Jujutsu Stuff was at his peak. Now we will see how fast he actually can get a grip on stuff he doesn't previously already knew ... And the Shadow Style already gave us a hint towards that. He was actually surprised and won the fight primarly because he overpowered Kusakabe. Not because he could exploit some weakness. Which, by the way, also proves that Sukuna would've been in serious troubles against Gojo without 10 Shadow Style. I don't think that Miguel takes a W against Sukuna, but he could serve as a "Plot Device" so that Megumi comes around like "F*ck, I whine here while all those people puttin' their life on the line - not only to safe me, but to safe the world." - And also to give Yuji & Yuta time to be able to return to the battlefield against Sukuna. Maybe he has even some CT/Cursed Energy Ritual which prolongs Sukunas Nerf. Although I think its something wilder than a simple Tool or so. Maybe a self sacrifice. Anyways, the question is; do they stop Sukuna prior to the merger, or is the merger the plottwist itself? Yet in both cases I think, Megumi will have to grow up and become the Nihilist he always thought he would be: yes. There's no bigger sense. There's no bigger reason. There's only himself and only himself can decide if he wants to give himself a sense, a reason. Does he really wanna give those people the W which screwed him over? Which toyed with him? Will he really consider himself so special? Don't suffer other people too and say; "F*ck it, I'll struggle!"? Will he really just give up instead of putting up more? It doesn't anymore anyway. And I think, that will come - Because the most iconic Megumi Scenes are when he says; "Yameda! Yatte yaruyo!" which translates to something like "F*ck it, I'll do it!". In addition to that, one thing of Jujutsu Kaisen is to (cleverly) subvert "Expectations" in that Genre of Manga/Anime. So, Yuji is a "Good Guy" - He struggles to defend others, Megumi could "struggle" to ... well, for the same reasons as Sukuna maybe struggled to get to the point he is now. For himself. For his own values. Just maybe with slightly different values. Would make sense that kind of character development, which is started by Miguel - Who even started his entrance with basically "Mate, the world is bigger than Japan.".

[@davidpopa5947]

Imagine if they transport all the bodies and yuji eats them and acquires their curses

[@alexanderjones4121]

Calling Miguel special grade or anywhere close is insane. He’s going to be fodder like everyone else until Gege finally decides to pull a Kishimoto and have the merger be the one to kill Sukuna while Yuji and the gang figure out how to beat it.

[@alexanderjones4121]

Sukuna’s strength right now is still leagues above what anyone can contend with. We still don’t know about the “Open” technique, he just did a black flash in a brief moment of “seriousness” against Maki, and it’s confirmed he can do the world cleaving slash WITHOUT hands signs like he did against Yuta. If the strongest sorcerer of today lost, then the strongest of the Edo Period lost, then the sorcerer second only to Gojo lost, then what chance does someone who isn’t relative to any of them have?

[@DarriusRichmond]

Nah after Miguel it going to be Choso and Yuji duo

As starters. Or how about a deep dive into what the hell happened in the month time skip and what the hell are Yujis arms. In short, actual answers to the story.

We still don’t know what Miguel has as CT, maybe it’ll be fun to watch. I do remember Geto telling him to just waste Gojo’s time so it’s possible that he’ll have a CT of some kind, maybe learnt RCT with Gojo and Yuta so it’ll be fun, he’s a mysterious character and can lead the fight anywhere

JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION, BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE A SURPRICE PLAN. LIKE WHY THE FUCK UI UI KEEP PICK UP ALL THAT DEAD BODY. LITERALLY THE DEAD BODY ONLY BUT NOT THE PEOPLE THAT GET BADLY INJURED. DEAD BODY ONLY. IT IS BETTER YOU PICK UP THE BADLY INJURED AND RETURN IT TO SHOKO THO.

All I know is Miguel is going to get cooked like everyone else is. If theres a few chapters hyping up Kusakabe saying hes strong from many characters and he gets rocked in a chapter I got no hopes for this dude. Gege’s writing is def getting repetitive but hopefully when we get all of it we can see the whole picture; however currently having the same shit over and over again is pretty frustrating.
