摘要

TLDREl crítico comienza describiendo su relación de amor-odio con "Jujutsu Kaisen" (JJK), destacando cómo su popularidad a pesar de sus defectos refleja una aceptación acrítica por parte de sus seguidores. A lo largo del análisis, se critica fuertemente la narrativa de JJK por ser derivativa, mecánica, y frecuentemente dependiente del guion para avanzar. Los personajes son descritos en su mayoría como planos y carentes de profundidad. Solo tres personajes están considerados como buenos. Se comparan las debilidades en la construcción del mundo y el sistema de poder de JJK con otras series de anime y manga, destacando la falta de reglas claras y desarrollo de personajes a través de los sistemas establecidos. Además, se acusa al autor de JJK de utilizar excusas narrativas como "armadura argumental" en lugar de una verdadera construcción lógica y coherente del mundo. La popularidad de JJK es atribuida a su accesibilidad y atractivo estético, en contraste con series más largas y narrativamente complejas. A pesar de todo, el crítico reconoce que la temática de la autonomía personal en JJK tiene su mérito y originalidad, aunque está mal ejecutada. Finalmente, concluye que el fandom de JJK es un reflejo de la sociedad actual dependiente de gratificaciones rápidas, ignorando narrativas profundas y finalmente, criticando cómo la falta de lógica y sentido común en la serie, afecta su disfrute.

    this video will serve as a critical
  • 00:00:02
    analysis of jjk fearful of shua and JJ
  • 00:00:06
    K's copyright this will also be
  • 00:00:09
    complemented by just bedw Wars material
  • 00:00:12
    but I will try my best to have different
  • 00:00:14
    edits to showcase exactly what I mean
  • 00:00:17
    during the analysis but thank you for
  • 00:00:19
    your time two Kaizen is a series I first
  • 00:00:21
    watched in October of 2020 after seeing
  • 00:00:24
    clips of Gojo and looking for new anime
  • 00:00:26
    to watch I stumbled upon jjk in which I
  • 00:00:29
    was immed mediately floored with how
  • 00:00:31
    uninterested I was I never thought jjk
  • 00:00:33
    was a bad anime or Manga until most
  • 00:00:36
    recently I have the most LoveHate
  • 00:00:39
    relationship with this series more than
  • 00:00:41
    anything or anyone I've ever met I have
  • 00:00:44
    dropped it I picked it back up I
  • 00:00:46
    slandered it I dropped it I loved it and
  • 00:00:49
    now I think it is terrible I've talked
  • 00:00:52
    about jjk with countless people and
  • 00:00:54
    while it was very fun to talk about the
  • 00:00:56
    series has lost all value to me jjk is
  • 00:00:59
    popular is beyond insane people that do
  • 00:01:02
    not watch anime are still aware of JJ K
  • 00:01:05
    somehow memes and internet jokes like
  • 00:01:08
    stand proud you are strong or are you
  • 00:01:11
    blank because of blank or the worst one
  • 00:01:14
    n i'ed Win are the most recognizable of
  • 00:01:18
    what I'm talking about JJ K's popularity
  • 00:01:21
    is far beyond anything normal for a
  • 00:01:23
    weakly manga even one piece does not
  • 00:01:26
    have motion like I've seen jjk have
  • 00:01:29
    having a Donald's cosign jjk is easily
  • 00:01:32
    the anime manga with the most motion I
  • 00:01:34
    have seen why is that however this
  • 00:01:37
    analysis will explore the derivative and
  • 00:01:40
    robotic roots for how Aus of media can
  • 00:01:43
    control the masses so
  • 00:01:47
    [Music]
  • 00:01:51
    profusely jjk has a small cast of
  • 00:01:54
    characters while the cast is decently
  • 00:01:57
    large but calling them characters would
  • 00:01:59
    be in insulting there are only three
  • 00:02:01
    good characters in this series Gojo
  • 00:02:04
    sukka and toi are the only characters I
  • 00:02:07
    consider to be somewhat noteworthy this
  • 00:02:10
    means nanami Yuji Maki UT hakari mahito
  • 00:02:15
    and especially kenju are not good
  • 00:02:19
    characters at least in my eyes my
  • 00:02:22
    criteria for character writing isn't
  • 00:02:24
    some esoteric elitist High artistic
  • 00:02:27
    Masterpiece mumbo jumbo we all know what
  • 00:02:30
    good character writing is Walter White
  • 00:02:33
    Aaron before chapter 139 Zuko Johnny
  • 00:02:36
    joar all of amazing characters honestly
  • 00:02:40
    I think Gojo in a good series like
  • 00:02:42
    bleacher Hunter Hunter would be
  • 00:02:44
    literally amazing but he's restricted
  • 00:02:47
    because of
  • 00:02:48
    jjk in short the problem with jjk
  • 00:02:51
    characters is that they're all flat
  • 00:02:54
    uninteresting or backdoored by the plot
  • 00:02:57
    Yuji the main character is insanely
  • 00:03:00
    uninteresting with one Arc spending the
  • 00:03:02
    entire series with very minimal
  • 00:03:05
    development neglecting your role in
  • 00:03:07
    society and becoming a cog just to save
  • 00:03:10
    lives yeah bro we get it it is simply
  • 00:03:12
    not engaging enough and being sideline
  • 00:03:15
    constantly by far more interesting
  • 00:03:18
    characters like Maki or kosimo doesn't
  • 00:03:20
    help your case yoru Yuki higuma all
  • 00:03:24
    characters that are boring with nothing
  • 00:03:26
    to offer outside of pedantic framework
  • 00:03:29
    if you want to dive into the disaster
  • 00:03:32
    curses are an antagonist group that
  • 00:03:34
    absolutely pale in comparison to
  • 00:03:36
    contemporaries like the order nobara is
  • 00:03:39
    a character that stands to oppose gender
  • 00:03:41
    roles and live her life freely but get
  • 00:03:44
    absolutely hold by the plot megamy the
  • 00:03:46
    deuteragonist of the manga has its
  • 00:03:48
    entire character put on an indefinite
  • 00:03:52
    TBD basically putting him in character
  • 00:03:54
    writing limbo mahito is an interesting
  • 00:03:58
    character that subscribes to sukin as
  • 00:03:59
    ideals and has an interesting
  • 00:04:02
    philosophical belief kenju is an
  • 00:04:05
    abomination of a character that
  • 00:04:07
    completely removed any reader investment
  • 00:04:10
    or engagement naoya was an antagonist
  • 00:04:13
    absolutely shredding Maki until she got
  • 00:04:16
    blessed up by akutami and saved by two
  • 00:04:19
    randoms never to be seen again AKA plaw
  • 00:04:23
    armor how could the development and Arc
  • 00:04:25
    of a character be satisfying and
  • 00:04:27
    fulfilling if it is 100% contingent on
  • 00:04:30
    plot armor and contrivances this is just
  • 00:04:33
    like in aot when Gia wanted Zeke to stop
  • 00:04:36
    Aaron but we never knew why he gave
  • 00:04:39
    Aaron the founder in the first place
  • 00:04:41
    debasing character motivations and roles
  • 00:04:43
    to garbage plot subsequentially makes
  • 00:04:46
    the character garbage as well themes and
  • 00:04:49
    emotions should not be a substitute for
  • 00:04:52
    logic and satisfying threads of plot a
  • 00:04:55
    lot of characters in jjk aren't real
  • 00:04:58
    characters meaning they have zero depth
  • 00:05:01
    and minimal characterization people like
  • 00:05:04
    characters like choso Toto Joo and yoru
  • 00:05:08
    but it's typically for insanely shallow
  • 00:05:11
    reasons choso is a mediocre character
  • 00:05:14
    with an arc around atoning for his sins
  • 00:05:16
    which has done the most uninspiring way
  • 00:05:18
    ever Toto has no real character outside
  • 00:05:22
    of being smart and I guess
  • 00:05:24
    reliable yoru is deeply flawed creating
  • 00:05:27
    a plot hole in the series and one of the
  • 00:05:29
    most jarring reads in Shonen Jump the
  • 00:05:32
    fact is jjk has a terrible cast of
  • 00:05:34
    characters especially compared to
  • 00:05:36
    chainsaw man haq and Naruto even people
  • 00:05:40
    that make hourong analysis videos fully
  • 00:05:43
    admit that the jjk Side cast is
  • 00:05:46
    terrible the argument of hey this guy
  • 00:05:49
    agrees with me is typically garbage and
  • 00:05:52
    felicious but the argument still stands
  • 00:05:54
    as it's commonly known throughout the
  • 00:05:56
    community characters are simply being
  • 00:05:58
    wasted and written and in most
  • 00:06:00
    unsatisfactory ways
  • 00:06:03
    [Music]
  • 00:06:08
    possible let me start off by saying this
  • 00:06:11
    plot is nothing but terrible every
  • 00:06:13
    single Series has levels of plot armor
  • 00:06:15
    but this series goes out of its way to
  • 00:06:17
    contrive situations in which people die
  • 00:06:20
    or people miraculously survive totto
  • 00:06:23
    doesn't kill Yuji out of fake autism
  • 00:06:26
    memories implanted in his brain
  • 00:06:30
    what Hanami survives a hollow purple
  • 00:06:34
    that doesn't even make any damn sense
  • 00:06:36
    bro there are a ton of examples like
  • 00:06:39
    higuma not even supposed to be in the
  • 00:06:41
    Shinjuku Showdown the main Agency for
  • 00:06:44
    culling games was the unsealing of Gojo
  • 00:06:47
    and the removal of suiki to do this we
  • 00:06:50
    need 100 points and to find the player
  • 00:06:53
    named Angel the 100 points were obtained
  • 00:06:56
    in pretty good ways that resulted in
  • 00:06:58
    either a good fight or interesting
  • 00:07:00
    character work sometimes both the player
  • 00:07:04
    Angel however she just miraculously
  • 00:07:06
    found our main character no search no
  • 00:07:09
    conflict no struggle just here you go
  • 00:07:12
    here's the plot device so Daddy Gojo can
  • 00:07:14
    come back it's funny as well because
  • 00:07:17
    suca has the opportunity to straight
  • 00:07:19
    kill her ass but the plot needs her so
  • 00:07:22
    no no no no no sua can use his damn
  • 00:07:26
    domain on a finger Bearer he can use his
  • 00:07:29
    most powerful technique on someone who
  • 00:07:32
    worships him he can onot literally
  • 00:07:35
    someone with the best durability in the
  • 00:07:38
    series but he can't kill this woman why
  • 00:07:41
    do you think so it's because of the plot
  • 00:07:44
    it's contrived and I see the strings
  • 00:07:46
    akutami there is a reason why sua is
  • 00:07:50
    regarded as convenience man Suk is
  • 00:07:53
    sealed inside of Yuji so how does he get
  • 00:07:55
    out he commits acts of violence
  • 00:07:57
    completely dependent on the AR Ral of
  • 00:08:00
    one of the worst characters in the
  • 00:08:01
    series the same character that gives
  • 00:08:04
    suca a free get out of jail free card
  • 00:08:07
    simply for
  • 00:08:09
    existing naturally he gets away Scott
  • 00:08:12
    free because of porn acting characters
  • 00:08:15
    not using abilities and akutami having
  • 00:08:18
    infatuation for bad
  • 00:08:20
    writing even on a smaller scale akutami
  • 00:08:24
    simply is not good at plot development
  • 00:08:28
    Maki in culling game is absolutely
  • 00:08:30
    outclassed by niola so akutami
  • 00:08:33
    shamelessly introduces characters in
  • 00:08:35
    order to give her the win Maki goes
  • 00:08:38
    inside a literal Time Chamber a Time
  • 00:08:42
    Chamber to power up unlike Dragon Ball
  • 00:08:47
    jjk pretends to have complex theming and
  • 00:08:50
    Nuance kiyoto Goodwill had a plot about
  • 00:08:54
    killing Yuji nah nah n psyche it was
  • 00:08:57
    dropped the villains come through
  • 00:08:59
    through and are basically used as
  • 00:09:01
    training punching bags until they
  • 00:09:03
    survive nuclear attacks and steal
  • 00:09:05
    arbitrary things that have minimal
  • 00:09:07
    significance even the subplot with the
  • 00:09:10
    Traer in jiujitsu high is completely
  • 00:09:13
    garbage let's review how it is described
  • 00:09:16
    there is a mole within the school
  • 00:09:17
    feeding information to a higher up that
  • 00:09:20
    is feeding information to the bad guys
  • 00:09:23
    okay a pretty a Tob to see type of plot
  • 00:09:26
    cool kenju who is one th years old with
  • 00:09:31
    knowledge on barer techniques the six
  • 00:09:33
    size ten gen and sukin his past with all
  • 00:09:36
    of ghetto memories needs information
  • 00:09:40
    from a
  • 00:09:42
    16-year-old excuse me do we know how
  • 00:09:46
    they met n no no no no what about what
  • 00:09:50
    specific information was
  • 00:09:53
    given nah nah n n n nah so we have to
  • 00:09:56
    suspend our disbelief that the smartest
  • 00:09:59
    character in the series with memories of
  • 00:10:02
    someone who went to Jujutsu School needs
  • 00:10:06
    information from a
  • 00:10:08
    16-year-old what about the higher up who
  • 00:10:11
    is supposedly getting information from
  • 00:10:13
    mechamaru to give to
  • 00:10:15
    Kenny why does Kenny and mahito make a
  • 00:10:18
    binding vow with mechum Maru and not the
  • 00:10:21
    higher up it doesn't seem like the
  • 00:10:23
    higher up even exists but if that's true
  • 00:10:27
    what the hell is the point in mentioning
  • 00:10:29
    that is the most likely the case the
  • 00:10:32
    entire plot point is nothing short of
  • 00:10:34
    stupid and
  • 00:10:36
    contrived especially concerning the plot
  • 00:10:39
    hole we reach when mechum Maru and
  • 00:10:41
    mahito fight saving all plot holes for
  • 00:10:44
    its own section let's discuss more on
  • 00:10:47
    mahito and his performance in shabuya
  • 00:10:50
    first off shabuya is such a narrative
  • 00:10:53
    mess it supposed to be a big climactic
  • 00:10:56
    battle but reads as if the author is
  • 00:10:58
    throwing up on the page the evidence for
  • 00:11:02
    such a claim is how the antagonists are
  • 00:11:04
    handled but primarily mahita when the
  • 00:11:07
    disaster cursors are getting dismantled
  • 00:11:08
    by the strongest people to ever exist
  • 00:11:12
    seemingly
  • 00:11:13
    arbitrarily it turns the structure of
  • 00:11:16
    this Ark into a fanf in which it would
  • 00:11:18
    be so cool if sua killed him and T had
  • 00:11:21
    that dog in him mahito in shuya suggest
  • 00:11:24
    that they all play a game with itadori
  • 00:11:27
    and whoever finds and first gets to do
  • 00:11:28
    whatever he watch with them very cool
  • 00:11:31
    seems like mahito at 9:27 they all
  • 00:11:34
    agreed to this game at 9:30 mahito
  • 00:11:38
    splits himself into two people at
  • 00:11:43
    1116 mahito finds nobara and kills her
  • 00:11:46
    shortly pay attention to the timeline
  • 00:11:50
    mahito was essentially doing nothing for
  • 00:11:55
    basically 2 hours despite having two
  • 00:11:57
    eyes two arms two legs and two
  • 00:12:00
    techniques this is what makes him just
  • 00:12:03
    luckily and matter of factly stumbling
  • 00:12:06
    upon the most important people to e
  • 00:12:08
    tadori so egregious because he
  • 00:12:11
    objectively didn't earn anything the
  • 00:12:14
    writer just pulled some strings and
  • 00:12:15
    voila it is passable when kenju does
  • 00:12:18
    nothing for 2 hours because I suppose
  • 00:12:21
    he's monitoring the prison realm not
  • 00:12:23
    really but is waiting to back door Joo
  • 00:12:26
    and mahito speaking of back door ding
  • 00:12:29
    mahito the writing decision to take away
  • 00:12:32
    the satisfaction of Yuji killing mahito
  • 00:12:34
    you know the man who killed off main
  • 00:12:38
    characters instead turning him into a
  • 00:12:41
    plot device is one I hate down to my
  • 00:12:43
    core it reminds me of when Oda told us
  • 00:12:46
    the cake was going to stop big mom and
  • 00:12:48
    was the one thing we need to stop her
  • 00:12:50
    but the cake does literally nothing and
  • 00:12:52
    she walks it off it reminds me of part
  • 00:12:56
    five where every fight is a life or
  • 00:12:58
    death to the point where narancia kills
  • 00:13:01
    two zesty ass dudes in broad daylight
  • 00:13:05
    however the nastiest dude to ever exist
  • 00:13:08
    chocolata in
  • 00:13:10
    cesio gets dumped into a trash can only
  • 00:13:13
    to be confirmed dead in a Data Book
  • 00:13:16
    basically it feels like you're robbing
  • 00:13:18
    and stealing from the audience even in
  • 00:13:21
    the current stages of the manga when
  • 00:13:24
    characters have had a month to
  • 00:13:25
    deliberate and plan but something so
  • 00:13:28
    simple like sua using a substitution
  • 00:13:31
    jutsu so his curs techniques get swapped
  • 00:13:34
    with kamut to creates nothing but
  • 00:13:36
    frustration with the readers how the
  • 00:13:39
    hell can grown adults not think hey my
  • 00:13:43
    law-abiding curse technique might not
  • 00:13:45
    take away his curse technique but the
  • 00:13:48
    curse tool instead of his curse
  • 00:13:50
    technique L this is more of a nitpick
  • 00:13:53
    because it got explained and sort of
  • 00:13:55
    makes sense kind of but in Hidden
  • 00:13:58
    inventory when the maid or whatever got
  • 00:14:01
    kidnapped and then the very next panel
  • 00:14:03
    they're all fine and just chilling at
  • 00:14:05
    the beat it creates an extremely jarring
  • 00:14:08
    read like why the hell did that even
  • 00:14:11
    need to happen you're just wasting
  • 00:14:14
    [Music]
  • 00:14:19
    time weak Sorcerers do not have a sense
  • 00:14:23
    of self the Crux of JJ K's themes is
  • 00:14:26
    personal autonomy and agency a person
  • 00:14:30
    working in their own interest caring for
  • 00:14:32
    themselves only reinforced with Gojo
  • 00:14:34
    telling Megami it is okay to be selfish
  • 00:14:37
    Earl telling UT that everyone hits their
  • 00:14:39
    limit if they don't have an overwhelming
  • 00:14:41
    sense of self and Gojo and kosimo
  • 00:14:44
    disregarding their place as the
  • 00:14:45
    strongest to bond in the need to have
  • 00:14:48
    other people fulfill them a more layered
  • 00:14:50
    thematic framework consists of
  • 00:14:52
    traditionalism versus modernism
  • 00:14:54
    cyclicality and the autonomous occult of
  • 00:14:57
    cursed energy
  • 00:14:59
    the story seems to punish people who
  • 00:15:01
    deviate from their true selves while
  • 00:15:03
    rewarding those who don't the only thing
  • 00:15:06
    I really like about jjk is its theming I
  • 00:15:09
    find it decently interesting because of
  • 00:15:11
    how unique it is minus cyclicality the
  • 00:15:14
    problems I have with the theming in jjk
  • 00:15:16
    result in the pretentiousness of them
  • 00:15:19
    occasionally jjk tries to tell you that
  • 00:15:21
    there is Nuance between curses and
  • 00:15:23
    humans and that they're not different
  • 00:15:25
    sides of the same coins yada yada
  • 00:15:28
    whatever the story constantly says that
  • 00:15:30
    they're not Heroes fighting for justice
  • 00:15:32
    they're just jiujitsu Sorcerers but this
  • 00:15:35
    just isn't true Sorcerers are
  • 00:15:38
    consistently the objective good force in
  • 00:15:41
    the world for the entire series with
  • 00:15:43
    Utah saving kids Yugi's worrisome
  • 00:15:46
    disposition in Shibuya nomy abandoning
  • 00:15:49
    the work life in order to fight against
  • 00:15:51
    literal evil and mocki dismantling the
  • 00:15:54
    sexist ablest abusive Society of the
  • 00:15:57
    zanine family protecting the weak
  • 00:16:00
    striving for Universal Freedom these are
  • 00:16:02
    ontologically good things that the
  • 00:16:04
    writer isn't going to just change by
  • 00:16:07
    saying hey they're nuanced hey they're
  • 00:16:10
    not Heroes for justice my second issue
  • 00:16:13
    is with the cyclicality theme of the
  • 00:16:15
    series to keep it short and blunt it is
  • 00:16:18
    horribly executed curses spawning from
  • 00:16:21
    humans in which humans become curses we
  • 00:16:23
    have only seen this once within niola
  • 00:16:26
    and it's basically a nonf factor p
  • 00:16:29
    shabuya there's some fake World building
  • 00:16:31
    funding the cyclical idea of jjk in
  • 00:16:34
    which an example lies in Utah the story
  • 00:16:38
    starts in Sendai established by the Fuji
  • 00:16:40
    wara in the Cai Colony uro places
  • 00:16:43
    emphasis on Utah's fujiwara descent in
  • 00:16:46
    which she is beaten very similarly to
  • 00:16:49
    how the fujiwara originally took over
  • 00:16:51
    Sendai aka cyclicality the idea of
  • 00:16:56
    fujiwara continuously taking over is
  • 00:16:58
    cyclic
  • 00:16:59
    but who the hell cares who the hell is
  • 00:17:02
    Oro who the hell is the Fuji War Clan
  • 00:17:05
    why should any of this matter to the
  • 00:17:06
    audience when this is all new and vapid
  • 00:17:09
    it is so expertly not communicated that
  • 00:17:12
    many readers will never acknowledge this
  • 00:17:15
    even on a second viewing this is 100%
  • 00:17:19
    because of the terrible World
  • 00:17:23
    [Music]
  • 00:17:27
    building my definition and criteria for
  • 00:17:30
    examining World building is decently
  • 00:17:32
    awkward I think a series like Adventure
  • 00:17:34
    Time has good World building while one
  • 00:17:37
    piece doesn't have as good World
  • 00:17:38
    building as bleach in my eyes a strong
  • 00:17:41
    set of rules characters interacting with
  • 00:17:44
    the setting or large set pieces for
  • 00:17:46
    dramatic and thematic influence usually
  • 00:17:49
    constitute good World building Jutsu
  • 00:17:51
    Kaizen however has insanely terrible
  • 00:17:55
    World building firstly the Revival of
  • 00:17:58
    the Hanan era coined by kenju is
  • 00:18:00
    refurbished with the fan base and is
  • 00:18:03
    completely made up how many hand aerosur
  • 00:18:06
    were do me me what are they like what's
  • 00:18:10
    their ideal how do they know kinjaku the
  • 00:18:14
    story simply says go [ __ ] yourself we
  • 00:18:18
    meet yoru uro Angel and maybe Dao if you
  • 00:18:22
    want to take some influence from there
  • 00:18:24
    it doesn't matter we meet those boys
  • 00:18:26
    from the haen era but everyone else are
  • 00:18:28
    either modern Sorcerers Sorcerers from
  • 00:18:31
    periods older than the Han era or
  • 00:18:34
    Sorcerers from periods earlier than the
  • 00:18:37
    Heron era how do you as a writer say we
  • 00:18:41
    are going to see X but completely fail
  • 00:18:45
    to do the bare minimum this is just like
  • 00:18:47
    Oda and wano constantly saying Pirates
  • 00:18:50
    will betray each other just for 150
  • 00:18:54
    chapters later nothing of the sort even
  • 00:18:57
    comes close to happen
  • 00:18:59
    once again it is just lying to the
  • 00:19:01
    audience but much worse pump faking
  • 00:19:05
    World building I've actually noticed
  • 00:19:07
    something this is Off Script actually I
  • 00:19:09
    actually noticed something how every
  • 00:19:12
    single uh every single sourcer we spend
  • 00:19:15
    time
  • 00:19:16
    with that every single sourcer we spend
  • 00:19:19
    a lick of time with right like Angel
  • 00:19:22
    like Yu because you know we actually
  • 00:19:24
    have to they're somewhere connected
  • 00:19:26
    towards sua um even
  • 00:19:30
    Kashima so it's like suuk is the only
  • 00:19:33
    reason why these dudes exist that's
  • 00:19:35
    perfectly fine but why don't you flesh
  • 00:19:38
    out why why don't you flesh out hey Suk
  • 00:19:42
    is this guy or hey we are this guy and
  • 00:19:45
    we want this to do with sukna it's all
  • 00:19:48
    just so vapid what if we got a sorcerer
  • 00:19:51
    that stood in convention to suk's ideals
  • 00:19:54
    and when killed by him or uram or
  • 00:19:56
    whoever he grew bitter in SW V
  • 00:19:59
    what if we got a sorcerer who is more
  • 00:20:01
    invested with improving his
  • 00:20:03
    Juju looking at techniques like UT and
  • 00:20:06
    Gojo and growing envious but Innovative
  • 00:20:09
    we have so many Sorcerers that came from
  • 00:20:11
    distant places in time that we don't
  • 00:20:14
    know that is evidently garbage and
  • 00:20:16
    creatively
  • 00:20:18
    bankrupt this also extends to the Sun
  • 00:20:21
    and Moon tribes of Assassins that we
  • 00:20:23
    hear about but never see some jjk
  • 00:20:26
    readers will be like what the [ __ ] is
  • 00:20:28
    that but I guarantee you they bring this
  • 00:20:32
    [ __ ] up like a million times it just
  • 00:20:34
    doesn't damn matter we hear that sukuna
  • 00:20:37
    defeated all of them including Angel but
  • 00:20:40
    why don't we see it why tell us hey
  • 00:20:43
    these people are strong and notable but
  • 00:20:45
    not show us with their past but what
  • 00:20:48
    about the jutu families first off the
  • 00:20:51
    Gojo Clan is not real it's just a plot
  • 00:20:54
    device to have Gojo live this life of
  • 00:20:56
    solitude the Gojo Clan is not real we
  • 00:20:59
    don't know a single damn person outside
  • 00:21:01
    of Gojo inside the Gojo clan that is
  • 00:21:04
    egregious on creative
  • 00:21:06
    writing the commo clan is a nonf factor
  • 00:21:09
    in the story because there is no mahara
  • 00:21:13
    or Limitless technique in the zanine
  • 00:21:15
    family while being the best is not
  • 00:21:18
    important to the story at all it shapes
  • 00:21:20
    toi and maki's character but you can
  • 00:21:23
    effectively replace the zening clan with
  • 00:21:25
    a traumatic moment in their past to
  • 00:21:27
    yield the same result
  • 00:21:29
    why introduce these places these
  • 00:21:32
    Concepts if they don't
  • 00:21:36
    matter the families matter so little
  • 00:21:39
    that Maki straight up executed them boys
  • 00:21:42
    and nobody gave a [ __ ] which has its own
  • 00:21:46
    implications because what if some
  • 00:21:48
    members like rant were actually really
  • 00:21:50
    nice guys with family and children and
  • 00:21:53
    they were just cool but no one cares
  • 00:21:55
    right we the zenine family the zeni
  • 00:21:59
    family military is made up of two units
  • 00:22:02
    the hay and the kuuru does anyone give a
  • 00:22:05
    [ __ ] did Maki low di them all the same
  • 00:22:08
    way there is no way you critically
  • 00:22:11
    examine the ideas at play in this manga
  • 00:22:14
    and come to the conclusion of good World
  • 00:22:16
    building you especially cannot come to
  • 00:22:19
    the conclusion when you examine the
  • 00:22:20
    power system Power Systems are World
  • 00:22:23
    building this should not be a New
  • 00:22:25
    Concept to most but I feel the need to
  • 00:22:28
    say it in anyway and let me tell you
  • 00:22:30
    cursed energy is terrible outside of
  • 00:22:32
    being derivative cursed energy showcases
  • 00:22:35
    how limited and trite akutami writing
  • 00:22:38
    really is curs techniques we will call
  • 00:22:42
    CTS from now on are basically your
  • 00:22:44
    shikai while your domain expansion is
  • 00:22:47
    your bonai if you're strong enough to
  • 00:22:49
    have such a thing unlike shikai and
  • 00:22:52
    banai which serve to characterize the
  • 00:22:54
    wielder and promote subtextual writing
  • 00:22:57
    CTS and domain rarely do such a thing
  • 00:23:00
    and are often given out
  • 00:23:02
    arbitrarily how does the 10 Shadows
  • 00:23:05
    characterize
  • 00:23:06
    meami how does star raage characterize
  • 00:23:09
    Yuki how does Sky manipulation
  • 00:23:12
    characterize uro these things are just
  • 00:23:15
    randomly dished out which can be fine
  • 00:23:18
    like who needs to know how Hyo
  • 00:23:20
    characterizes Rong geku right but
  • 00:23:22
    subscribing to that belief concedes that
  • 00:23:25
    a these characters aren't important
  • 00:23:27
    enough to be characterized like that and
  • 00:23:28
    therefore for a waste your time or B the
  • 00:23:31
    author just gives people's abilities to
  • 00:23:33
    just do cool things as a priority gin
  • 00:23:35
    shikai showcases his untrustworthy
  • 00:23:38
    mysterious nature shunu shikai tells the
  • 00:23:41
    audience his relaxed free spirit
  • 00:23:43
    appearing with his
  • 00:23:45
    responsibility kuke shikai shows us how
  • 00:23:48
    resourceful and methodical he is in jjk
  • 00:23:52
    you do have exceptions like sua Gojo toi
  • 00:23:57
    somehow and higuma but exceptions do not
  • 00:24:01
    make the rule I said all this to hammer
  • 00:24:03
    home that the power system doesn't have
  • 00:24:05
    any deep character significant richness
  • 00:24:08
    to supplement any problems it has bleach
  • 00:24:11
    power system is essentially Dragon Ball
  • 00:24:14
    if I have more Spirit energy than you I
  • 00:24:17
    win GG but at least it characterizes
  • 00:24:21
    everyone in an interesting
  • 00:24:24
    way I also think bleach comparisons are
  • 00:24:27
    more than fine because akutami has
  • 00:24:29
    admitted to being a fan as well as
  • 00:24:31
    inspired by Kubo let's begin first how
  • 00:24:34
    how does one learn domain expansion we
  • 00:24:38
    know that if you externalize your zoma
  • 00:24:40
    toe Spirit then force them into
  • 00:24:42
    submission AKA accept yourself you can
  • 00:24:46
    achieve bonai so how the [ __ ] can meami
  • 00:24:49
    just whip out a domain expansion because
  • 00:24:51
    he wants to how does naolia learn a
  • 00:24:54
    domain while being a cursed Spirit did
  • 00:24:57
    he already have a domain we know domains
  • 00:25:00
    are oneto one with barriers how does him
  • 00:25:03
    being a cursed Spirit amplify his
  • 00:25:05
    knowledge on barriers does he get a
  • 00:25:08
    domain simply from switching sides did
  • 00:25:10
    he already have a domain ryu's curse
  • 00:25:13
    technique is cursed energy output which
  • 00:25:15
    by itself is pretty stupid concering the
  • 00:25:18
    narrator says it's a non sequer in
  • 00:25:21
    battle with such an odd curse technique
  • 00:25:23
    how does he imbue it into a barrier for
  • 00:25:26
    a sure hit not everything has to be so
  • 00:25:28
    logical but I understand in buing a
  • 00:25:30
    cleave or a water shiky gami or even
  • 00:25:33
    forcing someone to use your CT inside
  • 00:25:36
    your domain how does a CT which is
  • 00:25:39
    described as a non secretor get imbued
  • 00:25:41
    into a lethal
  • 00:25:43
    domain the overall point is that the
  • 00:25:46
    loose domain mechanics in which just
  • 00:25:48
    happen for the plot with very little
  • 00:25:51
    reason or
  • 00:25:53
    logic if they were logical we would
  • 00:25:56
    understand how domains can be unlocked
  • 00:25:58
    how people like Ryu can have a lethal
  • 00:26:00
    domain how does one learn domain
  • 00:26:02
    implication again we get a play-by-play
  • 00:26:05
    explanation on how keto spells are
  • 00:26:08
    generally used but in jjk people can
  • 00:26:11
    just do things by looking at it once how
  • 00:26:16
    how can higuma do domain amp after
  • 00:26:19
    saying Su didn't do it
  • 00:26:20
    once I understand mahito doing the 2
  • 00:26:24
    second domain because it was primarily a
  • 00:26:26
    gamble but hikara picked it up just by
  • 00:26:28
    seeing
  • 00:26:30
    it domain amp by itself is heavily
  • 00:26:34
    underutilized having a statement of
  • 00:26:36
    being able to erect a sure hit without
  • 00:26:38
    an actual
  • 00:26:40
    barrier why do we not see a single
  • 00:26:43
    person in the story use
  • 00:26:46
    this could you imagine Megami having
  • 00:26:49
    this technique one of the smartest
  • 00:26:51
    people in the series he uses domain amp
  • 00:26:53
    to make sure New Way lands his lightning
  • 00:26:56
    let's talk about binding vows being
  • 00:26:58
    being completely synonymous with n
  • 00:27:00
    contracts binding vs are essentially
  • 00:27:02
    plot loopholes for akutami to allow
  • 00:27:05
    people to do whatever they
  • 00:27:08
    want unlike nen contracts that were used
  • 00:27:11
    for the most dramatic and negative
  • 00:27:13
    reasons binding vales are only used for
  • 00:27:17
    [ __ ] hakari uses a binding vow to
  • 00:27:20
    sacrifice his arm to save his body nice
  • 00:27:24
    Sorcerers can reveal their CT to release
  • 00:27:27
    a binding in which they strengthen their
  • 00:27:29
    technique that's cool how exactly does
  • 00:27:32
    that strengthen the technique is never
  • 00:27:35
    explained meaning it is essentially a
  • 00:27:38
    plot necessary tool for the audience to
  • 00:27:40
    know what's happening while keeping the
  • 00:27:43
    logic of the series intact suca uses
  • 00:27:46
    multiple binding FS to save his skin
  • 00:27:49
    which is generally fine but starts to
  • 00:27:51
    feel extremely staggering after the 1
  • 00:27:53
    millionth time we learned that in order
  • 00:27:56
    to use the world/ free of
  • 00:27:58
    he taxed every other usage afterwards to
  • 00:28:01
    kill Gojo we don't even know what the
  • 00:28:03
    effects of a broken binding vow
  • 00:28:06
    is kenju said that sometimes you lose
  • 00:28:10
    what you gain but what about miwa who
  • 00:28:12
    swore to never wed swore again if she
  • 00:28:15
    picks up a sword will she just blow up
  • 00:28:17
    like an Adventure Time character or can
  • 00:28:19
    she literally never hold a sword like
  • 00:28:22
    neurologically just forgot how to your
  • 00:28:26
    guess is just as good as mine do you see
  • 00:28:28
    the consistency of binding vows instead
  • 00:28:31
    of doing anything close to his character
  • 00:28:34
    establishing as where goone corop or
  • 00:28:36
    even KOLO did akutami just uses it so
  • 00:28:40
    characters can do whatever they want
  • 00:28:42
    Hoka did something very similar to this
  • 00:28:45
    in his fight with KOLO but it was never
  • 00:28:47
    as egregious as what akutami has done
  • 00:28:50
    here apparently Sorcerers can make
  • 00:28:54
    contracts to sacrifice their lives to
  • 00:28:57
    power them elves up May's birds in Utah
  • 00:29:01
    in volume zero sacrific themselves to go
  • 00:29:04
    beyond the limit of cursed energy you're
  • 00:29:06
    telling me Sorcerers can essentially
  • 00:29:08
    start crashing out on suca to save the
  • 00:29:11
    day right now you're telling me that
  • 00:29:14
    Sorcerers can start crashing out on
  • 00:29:17
    Whoever Whenever they come close to
  • 00:29:19
    losing me personally if I was Joo or
  • 00:29:23
    yoru or Reggie or whoever the hell I
  • 00:29:26
    would just make a binding vow to give up
  • 00:29:29
    my life to get all the strength possible
  • 00:29:33
    but hey that sounds like Hunter Hunter W
  • 00:29:37
    you just praising that but it's
  • 00:29:38
    literally the same thing
  • 00:29:40
    wrong n contracts only work with intense
  • 00:29:45
    emotions AKA kopika and gone who have
  • 00:29:49
    strong feelings of selfworth and
  • 00:29:52
    ambition not just anyone can do it but
  • 00:29:55
    if birds can do it
  • 00:29:58
    why can't Joo do it the point of what
  • 00:30:01
    I'm saying is how can a power system be
  • 00:30:04
    so corrupt to the point characters can
  • 00:30:06
    essentially get God Powers anytime they
  • 00:30:10
    want but just choose not to because the
  • 00:30:12
    writer didn't give them
  • 00:30:16
    permission this reminds me of when Aaron
  • 00:30:18
    was saying that Armen only likes Annie
  • 00:30:21
    because of berto's memory and will
  • 00:30:23
    inside him but Armen the same guy who
  • 00:30:26
    advocates for peace and diplomacy
  • 00:30:29
    doesn't retort with what about you Aaron
  • 00:30:31
    aren't you motivated by the attack Titan
  • 00:30:33
    as well basically an easy argument a
  • 00:30:37
    fifth grader can make but Armen didn't
  • 00:30:39
    because the writer didn't give him
  • 00:30:42
    permission all World building issues in
  • 00:30:44
    jjk can result in a DLC that akutami has
  • 00:30:48
    not yet unlocked or just neglect to 100%
  • 00:30:52
    the game instead opting to the speed run
  • 00:30:57
    [Music]
  • 00:31:02
    this section is probably going to be the
  • 00:31:04
    weirdest one to me jjk as a battle
  • 00:31:07
    Shonen is interesting as it is all it
  • 00:31:10
    has but it's not very good to illustrate
  • 00:31:14
    my favorite fights in manga I always
  • 00:31:16
    prefer fights with depth behind them
  • 00:31:19
    properly established mechanics and a
  • 00:31:21
    good back and forth or just a satisfying
  • 00:31:24
    end jjk doesn't have a single fight like
  • 00:31:28
    this even the best fight in the series
  • 00:31:31
    with Gojo versus auna randomly
  • 00:31:34
    introduces mechanics as well as an
  • 00:31:36
    ending being offc
  • 00:31:38
    screened Gojo gets brain damage from
  • 00:31:40
    healing out of burnt CT since [ __ ]
  • 00:31:44
    when let me tell you straight not a
  • 00:31:47
    single jjk fight is better than Luffy
  • 00:31:49
    versus Luchi Ichigo versus Tachi Sasuke
  • 00:31:53
    versus deror goone versus hea or even
  • 00:31:57
    Bruno vers versus pesudo and pesi all
  • 00:32:00
    these fights either have heavy depth in
  • 00:32:03
    engaging back and forth or climactic and
  • 00:32:07
    gratifying conclusion some fights even
  • 00:32:10
    have all of this like luff versus
  • 00:32:13
    Luchi every fight in the Goodwill event
  • 00:32:16
    is a joke with characters being severely
  • 00:32:19
    outclassed eugi and totto versus hanamy
  • 00:32:22
    would be good if hanamy wasn't used as a
  • 00:32:25
    punching bag for Yugi to learn black
  • 00:32:28
    flash Gojo versus toi both rounds aren't
  • 00:32:32
    even fights if we're being honest toi
  • 00:32:35
    one shot Gojo then Gojo comes back and
  • 00:32:38
    one shots toi there's nothing at all
  • 00:32:41
    engaging about that even if they're both
  • 00:32:43
    good characters some people's bias
  • 00:32:46
    toward the anime may make what I'm about
  • 00:32:48
    to say sound a bit crazier than what it
  • 00:32:50
    is but shabuya does not have a single
  • 00:32:53
    good fight well outside of Yuji versus
  • 00:32:56
    choso which is genuinely good
  • 00:32:58
    you know you know ignoring the whole
  • 00:33:00
    mechamaru being dead thing but still
  • 00:33:03
    giving Yugi the play byplay on how to
  • 00:33:05
    win without it ever being explained how
  • 00:33:07
    he's playing that off you know outside
  • 00:33:09
    that egregious nonsense whatever that's
  • 00:33:11
    fine sua versus Joo and mahara are not
  • 00:33:15
    fights the anime will probably convince
  • 00:33:18
    you that it's a spectacle and it's
  • 00:33:20
    really cool but they are not fights and
  • 00:33:23
    even if they are who the hell likes to
  • 00:33:27
    fight in which one character just
  • 00:33:29
    dominates and destroys the
  • 00:33:31
    other where is the tension there the
  • 00:33:35
    same thing for the Dagon fight which is
  • 00:33:38
    just big daddy toi saving the day in
  • 00:33:41
    which the heroes face zero
  • 00:33:44
    ramifications I have already discussed
  • 00:33:46
    at length why mahito in shabuya is
  • 00:33:49
    insanely flawed but there is another
  • 00:33:51
    reason why this fight is bad that I'll
  • 00:33:54
    discuss in another section Gojo versus
  • 00:33:57
    the disaster cursing in the train
  • 00:33:59
    station is pretty good if I'm being
  • 00:34:01
    honest pulling games is when jjk turns
  • 00:34:04
    into all fights with zero substance
  • 00:34:07
    which is
  • 00:34:08
    exacerbated with the fights not even
  • 00:34:11
    being good Yuji versus higar rooma isn't
  • 00:34:14
    a fight because hikara just gives up
  • 00:34:17
    Midway through meami versus reggi is
  • 00:34:20
    decently cool but ends with renji
  • 00:34:22
    getting snuck by Divine dogs which
  • 00:34:25
    yields an unsatisfying ending the Utah
  • 00:34:28
    Sendai stuff is pretty good minus the
  • 00:34:31
    pump fake airball with the triple domain
  • 00:34:34
    being broken because of contant which is
  • 00:34:37
    the only reason why ear is defeated
  • 00:34:39
    there hakari versus Kimo is one of the
  • 00:34:42
    most engaging fights in the series
  • 00:34:44
    especially coming after a chapter with a
  • 00:34:46
    zesty Mong gaka in a corny damn zoo
  • 00:34:49
    animal writing off all the build up of
  • 00:34:52
    aakari strength his performance is
  • 00:34:53
    pretty good against kmo or at least good
  • 00:34:55
    enough my own personal nit pick is that
  • 00:34:58
    seeing hakari get lucky and cheese out
  • 00:35:01
    of situations because of luck or
  • 00:35:03
    coincidence isn't really my Cupa te
  • 00:35:06
    having a superior combatant get holed
  • 00:35:08
    out because of several coincidences
  • 00:35:11
    leaves a sour taste in my mouth Maki
  • 00:35:13
    versus naolia is one of the worst fights
  • 00:35:16
    in the series with zero back and forth
  • 00:35:19
    it is the antagonist dominating everyone
  • 00:35:22
    in the room the hero goes inside a Time
  • 00:35:24
    Chamber Powers up defeats the main an
  • 00:35:27
    Agonist in literally one
  • 00:35:31
    hit and nothing special happens at all
  • 00:35:35
    it is an abomination of a fight kenju
  • 00:35:39
    versus Yuki and choso would be one of
  • 00:35:42
    the best fights in the series if Yuki
  • 00:35:44
    wasn't used as Canon jobber all for
  • 00:35:47
    kenju to be dispatched in one shot you
  • 00:35:50
    can look at this fight in a vacuum if
  • 00:35:52
    you want I think you know you probably
  • 00:35:54
    should to save yourself the
  • 00:35:56
    embarrassment but stories don't exist in
  • 00:35:59
    vacuums you can't look at Attack on
  • 00:36:01
    Titan the [ __ ] trost Arc in a vacuum
  • 00:36:04
    the trost arc sets up every Arc after it
  • 00:36:07
    kenju and Yuki's ideological conflict
  • 00:36:10
    goes absolutely nowhere despite being
  • 00:36:13
    one of the most fascinating things to
  • 00:36:15
    engage with in the story up to this
  • 00:36:16
    point Cho's character isn't at all a
  • 00:36:19
    high point from this fight as he does
  • 00:36:21
    nothing for 50 chapters after this and
  • 00:36:25
    he's supposed to be redeemed for killing
  • 00:36:27
    people by protecting Yuji is Aaron
  • 00:36:30
    supposed to be redeemed because he
  • 00:36:31
    protected Elia absolutely not already
  • 00:36:36
    spoke about Yuji and Maki fighting sua
  • 00:36:38
    it is super convenient that Maki didn't
  • 00:36:41
    use Soul Liberation on a sua whose
  • 00:36:44
    output is draining rapidly I wonder what
  • 00:36:47
    would have happened the yoru fight is
  • 00:36:49
    one of the worst fights in the series
  • 00:36:52
    with sua playing around per usual so
  • 00:36:55
    it's not engaging it's extremely drawing
  • 00:36:58
    with a brother and sister talking about
  • 00:37:02
    romance and marriage concerning a dead
  • 00:37:06
    body the current Suk cycle many
  • 00:37:09
    illiterate fans have coined is not as
  • 00:37:12
    bad as what people think specifically
  • 00:37:14
    Utah Yuji fighting sukuna is a highlight
  • 00:37:17
    of the entire series however it is clear
  • 00:37:20
    to see that akutami is just spitballing
  • 00:37:22
    with every page of the manga after Gojo
  • 00:37:25
    versus suca Maki is is Mia for 10 full
  • 00:37:30
    chapters despite this clearly being the
  • 00:37:32
    most climactic section of the series
  • 00:37:35
    hakari versus orom has not been heard
  • 00:37:38
    from since chapter
  • 00:37:42
    245 akut Tommy deciding to delegate main
  • 00:37:45
    characters to the peanut gallery when
  • 00:37:47
    fans are nothing but itching to see them
  • 00:37:49
    perform is a juvenile and spiteful thing
  • 00:37:53
    to do
  • 00:37:55
    [Music]
  • 00:38:01
    every long run Series has plot holes
  • 00:38:04
    unless you're clearly exceptional at
  • 00:38:06
    your craft like bleach or usoi plot
  • 00:38:09
    holes are a part of the job I like to
  • 00:38:11
    think not every series has to be perfect
  • 00:38:14
    but when your series is flawed by itself
  • 00:38:17
    ignoring any plot holes when you include
  • 00:38:19
    them later on you turn a mediocre series
  • 00:38:21
    into a bad one in this section I'll go
  • 00:38:25
    over all the plot holes I've have
  • 00:38:26
    noticed and explained explain why they
  • 00:38:28
    are plot holes first let's explore what
  • 00:38:30
    a plot hole is to me there are two forms
  • 00:38:34
    of plot holes and not every plot hole
  • 00:38:36
    has to be story breing some can be like
  • 00:38:39
    Itachi's age in Naruto how it's very
  • 00:38:42
    very inconsistent the first plot hole is
  • 00:38:45
    the conventional type of plot hole in
  • 00:38:47
    which information is contradicted an
  • 00:38:50
    example of this comes in one piece wow I
  • 00:38:53
    wonder if anyone knew that wellow the
  • 00:38:55
    example has to do with m Adam Shirley in
  • 00:38:58
    one piece in Fishman Island she
  • 00:39:00
    explicitly says that her future telling
  • 00:39:03
    ability has nothing to do about when it
  • 00:39:06
    happens and she cannot see any time
  • 00:39:09
    frame for her fortunes I can only see
  • 00:39:13
    what
  • 00:39:15
    happens the plot hole comes in chapter
  • 00:39:18
    967 in one piece where Roger act Shirley
  • 00:39:21
    when with the princess Shiro she be born
  • 00:39:24
    and Shirley responds in 10 years the
  • 00:39:27
    second type of plot hole is the lack of
  • 00:39:29
    a bridge to connect information a to
  • 00:39:33
    event B I already mention this but a
  • 00:39:36
    good example is Gia giving the attack
  • 00:39:39
    Titan to Aaron Gia who clearly does not
  • 00:39:42
    want Aaron to rumble the world still
  • 00:39:44
    gives him the Titan in which it was
  • 00:39:47
    implied it was because Aaron was
  • 00:39:49
    manipulating his memories in forcing him
  • 00:39:52
    to see something that would change his
  • 00:39:54
    mind do we ever learn what that was hell
  • 00:39:57
    no it debases character motivations to
  • 00:40:01
    where they're mindlessly doing tasks
  • 00:40:03
    like drones for the plot now that we
  • 00:40:06
    know what makes a plot hole let's play
  • 00:40:08
    the yoru review while slightly
  • 00:40:11
    stretching my definition of a plot hole
  • 00:40:13
    yoru conveniently reincarnating into
  • 00:40:16
    megami's sister but pretending to be
  • 00:40:18
    suiki by sitting in a wheelchair for a
  • 00:40:20
    month just to have the first person she
  • 00:40:22
    fights be sua for completely arbitrary
  • 00:40:25
    reasons feel so unne necessarily
  • 00:40:28
    contrived and this is the only reason
  • 00:40:30
    Suk is able to take over megami's body
  • 00:40:33
    and is without a doubt a plot hole in my
  • 00:40:35
    mind higuma joining the alliance the
  • 00:40:38
    very last time we see higuma is in
  • 00:40:41
    chapter 167 in which he denies helping
  • 00:40:44
    Yuji because it makes him feel extra
  • 00:40:46
    guilty for becoming such a terrible
  • 00:40:49
    person in chapter 222 we see higuma with
  • 00:40:53
    the gang all cheering for Gojo after his
  • 00:40:55
    departure what the [ __ ]
  • 00:40:58
    what happened to explicitly not wanting
  • 00:41:00
    to help the character's goals and
  • 00:41:02
    motivations changing offc screen and
  • 00:41:05
    we're supposed to acclimate to them not
  • 00:41:08
    at all mahito not healing his soul in
  • 00:41:12
    chapter 252 we learn that it's
  • 00:41:14
    impossible to heal the soul from sukum
  • 00:41:17
    however how the hell did maito ever lose
  • 00:41:20
    under this rule the only caveat to
  • 00:41:22
    Healing your soul was the awareness of
  • 00:41:25
    your soul in which mahito is is we know
  • 00:41:28
    cursed Spirits heal a lot easier than
  • 00:41:30
    Sorcerers do so every single hit Mao ate
  • 00:41:33
    from Yuji should have gotten healed to
  • 00:41:35
    some extent with this logic it is
  • 00:41:38
    impossible for me to Envision mahito
  • 00:41:41
    losing when Toto isn't doing any damage
  • 00:41:43
    he's healing from yuji's punches
  • 00:41:45
    especially because he just hit two black
  • 00:41:47
    flashes and we know what black flashes
  • 00:41:49
    do to your output and he himself said
  • 00:41:52
    his Souls on a higher percentage than
  • 00:41:54
    Yuji
  • 00:41:57
    mahito CT not getting burnt out in
  • 00:42:00
    chapter 31 mahito uses his CT to escape
  • 00:42:04
    immediately after Suk and disabled his
  • 00:42:06
    domain in chapter 82 directly after Mao
  • 00:42:10
    disposed his own domain he uses his
  • 00:42:12
    curse technique to kill mechum Maru two
  • 00:42:16
    different instances of the rule just not
  • 00:42:18
    applying to mahito for whatever damn
  • 00:42:21
    reason under this logic uro should have
  • 00:42:24
    never lost Yuki and Tan's play is made
  • 00:42:27
    to look [ __ ] and Gojo should have
  • 00:42:30
    never lost his domain and thereby the
  • 00:42:32
    fight Toto not damaging the soul Toto in
  • 00:42:36
    chapter 37 tells Yuji in the audience
  • 00:42:39
    that we exist in mind body and soul and
  • 00:42:42
    that we need to understand that to let
  • 00:42:44
    cursed energy flow correctly Toto
  • 00:42:47
    himself calls himself I
  • 00:42:51
    [Music]
  • 00:42:54
    Toto Toto himself calls himself I Toto
  • 00:43:00
    I'm pronouncing that wrong he he calls
  • 00:43:03
    himself I Toto in his own head because
  • 00:43:07
    he takes these beliefs to heart we also
  • 00:43:10
    learn that Toto was basically groomed by
  • 00:43:14
    Yuki who wrote an entire book on the
  • 00:43:17
    soul which was pivotal for freeing
  • 00:43:19
    Megami in chapter
  • 00:43:21
    251 there is a preponderance of evidence
  • 00:43:24
    which suggests one outcome but that
  • 00:43:26
    outcome never manifest is it because if
  • 00:43:29
    Toto and Yuji were both black flashing
  • 00:43:31
    Mao then his ass would have gotten loow
  • 00:43:33
    died possibly what I know for certain
  • 00:43:36
    though is that denying logical
  • 00:43:38
    conclusions for plot reasons detangle
  • 00:43:40
    any web of plot you wanted to create you
  • 00:43:43
    are dismantling your own plot in order
  • 00:43:45
    to create a sensible stream of plot how
  • 00:43:49
    ironic mechum Maru damaging mahita we
  • 00:43:53
    learned in the mechum Maru fight that he
  • 00:43:54
    was using simple domain in order to
  • 00:43:56
    damage to mahita in the meami Reggie
  • 00:43:59
    fight we actually learned that simple
  • 00:44:00
    domain cannot cancel out any CT we have
  • 00:44:04
    a character Fighting by canceling out a
  • 00:44:06
    CT only to have a statement that it
  • 00:44:08
    should have never happened is anyone
  • 00:44:10
    else noticing how Mr Aku Tomi
  • 00:44:14
    operates sukuna and yuji's binding vow
  • 00:44:17
    we are all fully aware of chapter 212
  • 00:44:20
    with sua taking over megami's body the
  • 00:44:23
    context to this working is completely
  • 00:44:25
    asinine Su can have made a vow not to
  • 00:44:28
    hurt or kill anyone for one minute
  • 00:44:31
    that's fair let's
  • 00:44:33
    fart wow that's fair that's smart why
  • 00:44:38
    does he immediately knock out Hana to
  • 00:44:40
    say uh-oh I can't drop her because I
  • 00:44:43
    will break The Binding Val [ __ ]
  • 00:44:46
    what so you can knock the [ __ ] out but
  • 00:44:49
    you can't drop her on the ground because
  • 00:44:52
    you knocked her out because that will
  • 00:44:54
    break The Binding Val excuse excuse me
  • 00:44:58
    what's even worse is sua force feeding
  • 00:45:00
    Megami literal poison suk's fingers are
  • 00:45:04
    described to be a toxic lethal poison
  • 00:45:06
    because he's literally the king of
  • 00:45:09
    curses what's even worse is the fact
  • 00:45:11
    that Yuji wasn't talking about himself
  • 00:45:14
    when he made The Binding
  • 00:45:16
    vow the only reason he had to make The
  • 00:45:20
    Binding vow was because sua ripped out
  • 00:45:23
    his heart and took his body hostage
  • 00:45:28
    Gojo not knowing about suk's domain low
  • 00:45:31
    hanging fruit maybe nonissue maybe but
  • 00:45:36
    the fact that kenju told suuk about UT's
  • 00:45:39
    CT but choso didn't tell Gojo about
  • 00:45:42
    kaku's open domain and sua could have
  • 00:45:45
    also had one based off inaki and yuji's
  • 00:45:48
    Report showcases incompetence within our
  • 00:45:51
    main cast which the fight could have
  • 00:45:52
    gone an entirely different way if they
  • 00:45:55
    used that 30day actually talk to each
  • 00:45:58
    other sua's finger being
  • 00:46:01
    indestructible before we even explain
  • 00:46:03
    does that even make any [ __ ] sense do
  • 00:46:06
    we think suk's finger is indestructible
  • 00:46:09
    in
  • 00:46:10
    2024 so when we go back to like chapter
  • 00:46:13
    2 when Gojo can't destroy the finger
  • 00:46:17
    what the [ __ ] that's not even true bro
  • 00:46:19
    we seen we we saw Soul Liberation blade
  • 00:46:23
    which is able to this is Off Script bro
  • 00:46:25
    I'm [ __ ] the script bro we we saw a soul
  • 00:46:28
    Liberation blade which is able to cut
  • 00:46:31
    all inanimate objects so that would
  • 00:46:33
    include a su of finger andless suuna is
  • 00:46:36
    just H times
  • 00:46:38
    10 we know Jacob's Ladder is still a
  • 00:46:41
    thing right well not still a thing we
  • 00:46:44
    know Jacob's Ladder is a thing can
  • 00:46:46
    Jacob's Ladder just reduce the finger to
  • 00:46:49
    a [ __ ] regular finger or reduce that
  • 00:46:52
    [ __ ] to Yogurt we don't know I mean we
  • 00:46:55
    don't know um we know black rope exists
  • 00:46:58
    black rope could have opened the [ __ ]
  • 00:47:01
    prison realm what could have done to the
  • 00:47:03
    finger we know invert Spear of Heaven
  • 00:47:05
    exists which is essentially just nuh uh
  • 00:47:08
    no cursed energy so what could have
  • 00:47:10
    happened to like the finger and think
  • 00:47:13
    about Gojo satoru can't break the finger
  • 00:47:17
    or can't can't destroy that mug [ __ ] if
  • 00:47:20
    he bro if if he would have done a 200%
  • 00:47:23
    Hollow purple say oh God that [ __ ] would
  • 00:47:25
    have got destroyed we we take we get
  • 00:47:28
    every single finger possible we at we
  • 00:47:30
    get all 20 fingers cuz it's just in
  • 00:47:32
    Japan and goo can teleport goo teleports
  • 00:47:34
    around all 20 fingers b b line them all
  • 00:47:38
    up Ram starts twerking and [ __ ] a
  • 00:47:41
    [ __ ] uh old dude starts playing the
  • 00:47:43
    guitar and everything and 200% Hollow
  • 00:47:46
    purple say on God they not gone say on
  • 00:47:48
    God they not
  • 00:47:50
    gone I it it doesn't matter it's a plot
  • 00:47:53
    hole um it's so insane to me that these
  • 00:47:56
    [ __ ] going to say it's indestructible
  • 00:47:59
    after the [ __ ] we've seen of course it
  • 00:48:01
    might be like a minor issue to some
  • 00:48:02
    people because yes an idea present in
  • 00:48:05
    Chapter 2 not holding up in chapter 200
  • 00:48:09
    that's not like an uncommon thing in a
  • 00:48:10
    manga but I mean people love to praise
  • 00:48:14
    [ __ ] gay gay for his longterm
  • 00:48:17
    storytelling and he for sidled uh he he
  • 00:48:20
    he foreshadow uh Mega me and Su body and
  • 00:48:25
    uh Y in volume zero very important to
  • 00:48:28
    sck locality that's some [ __ ] bro we
  • 00:48:31
    know in Chapter 2 he can [ __ ] up on
  • 00:48:33
    regular regular things that aren't true
  • 00:48:36
    cuz no one in the right mind thinks that
  • 00:48:39
    cuz Gojo's justification for it is that
  • 00:48:41
    the curse is too powerful or a powerful
  • 00:48:44
    curse ain't it ain't it and it's so
  • 00:48:47
    [ __ ] like no one is ever going to
  • 00:48:49
    think that 200% Hollow purple who is
  • 00:48:52
    able to damage a full power suina is not
  • 00:48:55
    going to damage the [ __ ] fingers
  • 00:48:57
    that's not even logically coherent a
  • 00:48:59
    200% Hollow purple that blew this [ __ ]
  • 00:49:02
    sua's arm off can't destroy his [ __ ]
  • 00:49:04
    fingers you bugging out your dick
  • 00:49:07
    [Music]
  • 00:49:14
    [ __ ] in the last hour we have discussed
  • 00:49:17
    broken down and proved how akutami has
  • 00:49:19
    written a very flawed series naturally
  • 00:49:22
    if you derive happiness from the series
  • 00:49:24
    good for you and I'm happy for you
  • 00:49:27
    anything I say shouldn't be a bullet to
  • 00:49:28
    the chest just because you cosign
  • 00:49:30
    something that is being insulted no one
  • 00:49:33
    is insulting you and I'm sure you're a
  • 00:49:35
    fine person outside your taste and manga
  • 00:49:38
    my biggest problem with jjk personally
  • 00:49:41
    is the fan base in the audience however
  • 00:49:44
    JK's popularity completely reflects a
  • 00:49:46
    chronically online society losing its
  • 00:49:48
    touch and only relying upon robot
  • 00:49:50
    instincts in submitting to their own
  • 00:49:52
    psychosis I know people that kept up
  • 00:49:55
    with the Mong weekly despite not
  • 00:49:56
    actually reading it I know people that
  • 00:49:59
    read Gojo versus suca before they read
  • 00:50:01
    anything before that this level of
  • 00:50:03
    incorrectly engaging with the story is
  • 00:50:05
    because the part of their brain wanting
  • 00:50:07
    cool things first and not actually
  • 00:50:09
    wanting to work for it speaks to them
  • 00:50:10
    the loudest people needing finality
  • 00:50:13
    gratification do not want to start any
  • 00:50:15
    anime that are infinitely better but
  • 00:50:17
    much longer like Naruto bleach and
  • 00:50:20
    Hunter Hunter jjk is much more
  • 00:50:22
    digestible and because it is a condensed
  • 00:50:25
    formula of what works Works in bleach
  • 00:50:27
    and Hunter Hunter but executed with 90%
  • 00:50:30
    less tact the core of Peele of jjk is
  • 00:50:33
    cool raw Aura factor festering with
  • 00:50:36
    characters to the point where every
  • 00:50:37
    other story element gets ignored by the
  • 00:50:39
    reader as long as you give me Suk glaze
  • 00:50:42
    and Gojo AA I can empirically verify
  • 00:50:46
    this by an acquaintance of mine having
  • 00:50:48
    jjk as a favorite anime ever loving the
  • 00:50:51
    story and finding so much enjoyment off
  • 00:50:53
    reading it and watching it and listening
  • 00:50:56
    to the the music and buying the manga
  • 00:50:58
    and plush and data books literally the
  • 00:51:00
    whole nine yards however if you ask this
  • 00:51:04
    woman to give a quick synopsis of hakari
  • 00:51:07
    versus Kuma like lay out the story beats
  • 00:51:10
    like what happened how did the fight go
  • 00:51:13
    she'll be
  • 00:51:14
    dumbfounded it is amazing how one person
  • 00:51:17
    can swear up and down they're a fan of
  • 00:51:19
    the series but be completely dumbfounded
  • 00:51:22
    when trying to recall the
  • 00:51:24
    plot I have also seen multiple people
  • 00:51:27
    completely misinterpret misread and
  • 00:51:30
    misunderstand the series in which they
  • 00:51:32
    are supposedly fans of some fans
  • 00:51:35
    genuinely think hakari is a better
  • 00:51:37
    character than niola hakari whose
  • 00:51:40
    character is feel the fever and I'm a
  • 00:51:45
    gambler that's why you have that's why
  • 00:51:48
    gay gay gambled on my screen time and
  • 00:51:50
    base of jjk quite literally do not read
  • 00:51:53
    their own manga it's kind of a joke when
  • 00:51:56
    people say that but it's a joke because
  • 00:51:58
    it's true when some fans are proven
  • 00:52:00
    wrong they praise the mangi even though
  • 00:52:03
    their reasoning is completely valid and
  • 00:52:05
    solid what does that tell you to keep it
  • 00:52:07
    short nonsense Works Riz or a skibbidy
  • 00:52:12
    just nonsense brain run that is
  • 00:52:14
    completely synonymous with the series
  • 00:52:16
    coined as labotomy
  • 00:52:18
    Kaizen in my opinion this is a repugnant
  • 00:52:22
    State of Affairs the fan base has no one
  • 00:52:24
    but themselves to blame from from the
  • 00:52:26
    power scaling guys who make a couple
  • 00:52:28
    good arguments now they think they know
  • 00:52:30
    more than a writer shipping fan girls
  • 00:52:32
    who decide they like the series before
  • 00:52:34
    they even look at its writing brain rot
  • 00:52:36
    Merchants who engage the story as a
  • 00:52:38
    Pastime or the fake media literate goons
  • 00:52:41
    who like gagay put the blindfold over
  • 00:52:44
    them this fan base is something I detest
  • 00:52:46
    more than the actual series just a
  • 00:52:49
    conglomerate of individuals using 5% of
  • 00:52:52
    their brain
