Anime Questions Thread

ORIGINAL POST

Guys, After re-reading the Shibuya Incident arc, I was blown by how much foreshadowing happened in the first few arcs.

I think Gege Akutami pre-planned a lot of things a few years to give amazing arc with awesome plot twists and a fast-paced story with incredible fights and moments.

The more I read JJK, the more I felt that I am much more invested in an actual story than the characters. JJK seems to be an incredibly fast-paced story with awesome plot twists much like Attack on Titan.

What type of story that Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be like? Is it plot-driven or character-driven?

Plot-driven so far, but I do love the character moments.

It's definitely plot-driven. The story on a character-driven story usually revolve around the MC and the MC is the one making it move forward, while JJK story already begun even before Yuji was born.

I wonder how long it took MAPPA to create that whole fight sequence between >!Sukuna and Mahoraga?!<

Because I watched it for the first time no too long ago and I was visually amazed (and gut-wrenched at the same time). That in consideration with all other equally amazing battles in the closing episodes of the Shibuya Incident arc.

FlamingPoisonn · 6 months ago

Gojo has never taken out Mahoraga, but yes, the ritual can be done an infinite amount of times as long as the ritual is seen as invalid.

Getting help from anyone else will completely nullify the ritual.

The rest of your question is manga only, please remove it.

Just finished the anime. I have a few questions . What is “Tengen” they were talking about in the last episode?

Why doesn’t Okkatsu help in Shibuya? Where is he? What happened to Mei? Did she die?

What is yuki tsukumo goal? Didnt quite understand it in the last episode

And what is the cursed spirits inside Geto goal?

1 upvotes on reddit

rahonan · 5 months ago

Tengen is a person and has been mentioned several times. In season 1, fake Geto says Tengen's cursed technique is Immortality and the entrance to the Jujutsu High Storeroom, where Sukuna's fingers and the Cursed Womb Death Paintings are kept, is shuffled among 1000 doors by Tengen to keep it safe.

In season 2, Geto and Gojo are tasked with escorting Riko to Tengen to reset Tengen's immortality technique by merging with her. Geto says Tengen has barriers protecting both Jujutsu Schools and strengthens the barrier techniques of assistant managers.

>Why doesn’t Okkatsu help in Shibuya? Where is he?

He was in Africa.

>What happened to Mei? Did she die?

Mei Mei says she's in Malaysia and they got there using Ui Ui's technique.

>What is yuki tsukumo goal?

She says to Geto in Hidden Inventory that she wants a world where cursed spirits don't exist and says so again in Shibuya. She wants to achieve this by getting rid of CE in humans.

>And what is the cursed spirits inside Geto goal?

I don't know what you are asking.

Please remove the spoiler stuff you are asking about.

The anime is an adaptation of the manga, the manga has ended and the anime adapted roughly half of the story.

Some things you are asking about will be in later seasons and there are also fake leaks, spoliers.

The thing about Inumaki's arm is in sesson 2, Yuta says he lost it due to Yuji during Shibuya, this is referring to Sukuna, and him losing his arm happened off screen.

Hi everyone! I'm a new fan who got into the franchise through the anime. After finishing Season 1, I immediately jumped into Season 2 because I enjoyed it so much (it was that good, haha). However, I just found out that I was supposed to watch the movie before starting Season 2. While watching, I did get confused a few times—was that because I skipped the movie, or was I just being slow? 😅 Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

Was the real Geto still in high school when he died? I know he got expelled after he killed all those people, but should he have been in high school still when Gojo killed him? Was Gojo still in high school? How many years of jujutsu high school are there 🤣 sorry I just need some clarification!

There's four years of Jujutsu high. Gojo and Geto were in their second year when the star plasma vessel arc occurs, then Geto betrays Jujutsu high a year later. Geto attacks Jujutsu high and dies 9 years later, a total of 10.5 years after Riko died.

Considering everything that happened before the Shibuya incident: how the hell have sorcerers kept themselves and the curses hidden from the public domain? Like, just think of Gojo, everywhere he went he left some big trail, destroyed buildings, schools etc. Or think of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, where there was an entire section of the city under attack. Or maybe (at the start of the show season 1) why the hell are they keeping one of Sukuna’s finger near a school and how there wasn’t a single dumbass that wanted to poke his nose around and look in the little temple where it was. Also why the hell would Megumi Fushiguro just straight up tell to Itadori about curses?

Maybe there’s some world building that I’m missing, please enlighten me.

I am not sure if it is allowed to ask this kind of question in this thread, but I was wondering something.

If I was to introduce a character of mine into Jujutsu Kaisen when Gojo, Geto and Shoko were first years at Jujutsu Kaisen, what order should the arcs? I wanna follow the canon arcs, but like interweave my character into the story.

(I know about Hidden Inventory, JJK 0, the main series s1 and 2, but I don’t know the rest.)

1 upvotes on reddit

Secret-Future · 4 months ago

Chronologically speaking, the timeline of the story goes like this:

Hidden Inventory, the earliest arc, when Gojo was 17.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0; this is a year or so before the main story and Season 1. Gojo is 28 here.
Season 1; this is the official start of the series. Gojo is 29.
Season 2. The first five episodes are the Hidden Inventory flashback; everything afterward is directly after Season 1. (Gojo is still 29).

There are some flashbacks and scenes with baby, child, and teen Gojo, plus some daily life of Geto, Shoko, and others, but this is the order in which the story happened in universe.

No-Masterpiece4096 · 4 months ago

I'm an idiot with a horrible retention rate so this is a random question I thought of. Since red is twice as strong/CE requiring as blue, does that mean instead of a clean 50/50, hollow purple is more of a 66/33 in terms of how much force Red and Blue are putting in? Let's say x is blue and 2x is red (since it's twice as draining) and lets make y purple. therefore we get :

2x + x = y

now since 2x is twice as big as x, it should mean that red, the more consuming ability, is powering 66% of hollow purple? Am I right or as usual am I going on some dumb rant?

isaiahexe · 4 years ago

Of course! I'll probably do it soon, as I've been getting into manga semi recently. The first manga I read was actually Jojo's part 6, and that was last year. I'm currently reading part 8 to catch up, and am current on Dr. Stone, so that's the first manga I've ever waited for weekly chapters on. I've been watching anime for years, and actually fell off a little for like a year ( I have so much shit to watch), but JJK is the first show I've ever actually watched weekly the day it came out. I had a little ritual of drinking on Fridays and watching the episode, and I'm gonna miss that, cause it made my weeks feel a lot nicer. Maybe I'll find a show that I watch weekly again some time, but I still need to finish HxH, and Samurai Champloo, both of which I'm half way through and have put down for a few months. Sorry for my ramblings, I'll definitely try and remember to come back and let you know how reading JJK goes, as I'll probably start it relatively soon, as I'm nearly current on Jojolion. I think I'll make watching an episode or a couple of HxH or something else my weekly ritual instead.

Edit: On a side note, because I'm fried and rambling lol, because I read dr stone after the first season, I haven't bothered watching season 2 (eventually I'll get to it), but I've also read Jojo part 6, 7, and 8, and even though I know what'll happen and part 6 is 100% my least favorite part, I think when part 6 gets released it will become my new weekly anime ritual, and it will be nice to have a show to look forward to.

About the orders from the higher-ups, they never liked Gojo, he was openly unhappy with the leadership and expressed he wanted things to change, then he's also doing things like stopping them from killing Yuji. Saying it's forbidden to release him is a thinly veiled way of making sure he can't be around anymore to threaten their position.
They always wanted Yuji dead because of the danger that Sukuna poses. Every time Sukuna came out he was only causing problems and spreading destruction. Even though Yuji himself is innocent, the world WOULD be better off if Yuji dies. Sukuna has already taken control three/four times since he's been in Yuji and if his actions in Shibuya show what happens when he's in control for ~20 minutes, it's easy to see why they want Yuji gone.
Skipped over in the anime, but Inumaki was caught at the edge of Sukuna's domain
It's explained properly later on in the manga, but when the fake Geto was leaving he did remark that he had high expectations for Sukuna, so fake Geto has some sort of interest in keeping Sukuna (and by extension Yuji) alive.

PSYCHOTICMAX · 3 months ago

I see… so basically because he is satoru gojo they couldn’t really do anything to stop him until now.
Do we know how come Yuji doesn’t just switch back when Sukuna starts causing damage? I feel like Yuji could easily make Sukuna a weapon by letting him out when he is in danger but then switching when he starts doing things he doesn’t want.
WOW. Thank you for clarifying. Of all things to be skipped.. that is insane.
So he just dipped? Didn’t really care about the motorcycle girl?

Infinity acts similarly to an immovable wall. When objects get closer, they can’t pass through, as yes there’s infinite space. So he strengthened his infinity and it kept pushing hanami away. He basically squished hanami between his infinity and the wall, like a hydraulic press. So yes it’s space, but if hanami can’t go through it, well there’s really nowhere else to go

Jujutsu Kaisen isn't ending as soon as stated.

Posted by AbsolutePotential · in r/Jujutsushi · 3 years ago

Jujutsu Kaisen was stated to end in 2023, because the author was under pressure. However they took a month long break and since have been taking breaks whenever they are pushed to hard, and so they will continue the series because they don't have to end it. This is also exemplified by how the series does not feel like it can end in less then a year. Now some may say this date would be pushed because the author meant 2 years of chapters which is 100ish chapters, but we have already had around 40 chapters since then leaving 60ish chapters. Can JJK really end in 60 chapters (A year and a half).

Edit: Since then the author has taken their time and I think just the Culling Game will be 40+ more chapters, and I don't think it's the climax of the series.

TL;DR: Author has no pressure + too much content left.

Yeah. Gege said that before he took his hiatus too. Besides that, I feel those kinds of estimates of how much longer until the series is finished are always underestimations, which is the common response to this question.

The thing about JJK though is that I always got this sense that Gege kind of hates this grind and just prefers to tell as succinct a story as possible. That comes at the cost of not telling as thorough a story as it seems like it is. He has a lot of material to use, and cool ideas, but is super aware of how that will take time to use. I don’t see it as external pressure, but that he personally doesn’t want to expand it lol so there’s that, which IMO is disappointing. I just feel like this medium is taking a major hit lately bc it’s backing artists into a corner to force them to sacrifice their own health for their story or vice versa (same thing happening with MHA which is the only other manga I used to follow weekly).

Edit: right I definitely feel like there’s no way it’ll end soon based on where we are in the story, it really only feels like we’re halfway thru. Idk tho it’ll depend on what Gege chooses to focus on ig

And Sorachi-sensei is a whole different ballpark when compared to Gege. That Gorilla of a mangaka had a story to tell and told it as leisurely as possible using everything he had around him, ie a whole ensemble of characters who could be the protagonists themselves of a separate show, a whole ass world that’s beautifully fleshed out, antagonists, even real life historical figures, and of course doujinshis, fanfiction, yaoi etc just to connect it all together.

So what I’m getting to is, I love Gege’s no nonsense style of story telling and personally feel that it fits really well with the style of the story. ie, the pacing matches the theme and tone of the plot, so it doesn’t feel out of place. But I do agree Gege might be getting a little confused with the hole he’s dug called Cursed Techniques and Cursed Energy.

Sorry for ranting.

>I always got this sense that Gege kind of hates this grind and just prefers to tell as succinct a story as possible. That comes at the cost of not telling as thorough a story as it seems like it is.

Best exemplified by the Yaga sidestory. Only a single chapter, and it felt fairly rushed as a result. Most people probably would've preferred to spend at least 2-3 chapters on that, but you can tell Gege wants to spend as little time as possible diverging from the main plot.

Tbh I really respect the fact that Gege doesn't want the story to go on for 10+ years and wants to end it in a succinct way. I think it highlights that Gege has a vision for the story and it really shines through when reading and watching it. I've never felt that a single fight or storybeat is a waste because it's always building to something greater.

I'm immune to hiatuses, I've learned to touch grass waiting for manga chapters. Good for Gege for prioritizing his health. He can take all the hiatus he wants 10 year at least.

20 chapters is unlikely, shibuya was around 50 chapters and if it was only 20 chapters left for culling games it would total in 38 chapters, I believe this arc will be longer than shibuya since this arc will explore the past and introduce more characters from the heian and there are gonna be more rules added and more fights and character development for our cast. This arc will probably be about 60-70 chapters

So I was rewatching season 2 with a friend, and I could have sworn the ending scene for season 2 was >!a scene where Gojo is seen walking down some stairs looking like he’s done with life and possibly the principal was there too.!< When we were watching it, the ending scene >!was Yuji clapping to call curses to him introducing us to the next arc.!< Am I remembering it wrong? I’m not sure if maybe I saw an edit or something but I swear it was a part of the actual anime.
