Google translated and read that butchered shit lol. Yuta is the best. Everyone worried about morals when they fighting the strongest sorcerer of all time, time to become the monster. One thing I wasn't able to catch, what were the potential outcomes after the 5 minutes?

Gojo once again tells his students to go back but they refutes him. Yuta tells Gojo to not try becoming a monster by himself again

Gojo: Thats something I can't do. At that moment, I was left behind. I have to catch up to him
Does this mean... Gojo wanted to catch up to Geto and also be a monster like him? Am I reading that right?

I'm indifferent to Yuji as a main protagonist, but I can definitely get why his fans would be malding over Yuta upstaging him because... he has been for quite some time.

I don't like Yuta, but it does seem like Gege gives him more cool feats and scenes in comparison.

This though? I can't see Yuji doing anything "cooler" than what Yuta is doing now.

That's not to say I approve of this direction, I don't, but I understand the salt coming from some Yuji fans.

Gojo taking responsibility for what occurred post-Shibuya and finally realizing how naive he was in regard to the higher ups is a good bit of character development.

Kinda sad how Gojo's biggest contribution was him becoming the one thing he never wanted to become and killing the higher ups so his students didn't have to.

It's definitely an interesting turn of events, but I'm also not really happy Yuji's moment got interrupted. I guess we will see where this goes.

Sad for Yuta most likely dying after 5 minutes run out.

I thought Gege lost the plot at the beginning but they cooked at the end. Can't wait for the next chapter.

biggest rage I see is from Yuji Stans who are insecure about him being upstaged lol. The Gojo diehards probabaly too but I'm seeing the yuji stans crashing out right now
Can one even be a "stan" of the main character of a Shonen Jump series? That's just the default state lol

I can't believe I'm still seeing some people online say that Gojo might come back...

Like guys, pack it up. His corpse got overtaken by Yuta.

First flashback scene in this fight that actually worked for me and what do you know, it was due to a focus on character moments and developing character arcs.

The character work in this chapter was so good that it makes it feel like Yuta has to win it here which sucks because I know he won't since Yuji obviously isn't going to sit on the sidelines. Hopefully he at least does some lasting damage beyond just taking away Sukuna's domain again since that would put us back in the same place we started and I want to see actual progress

So thoughts on the story direction guys?

Great writing? Awful writing?

Love it? Hate it?

It depends on the follow up.

I think the chapter did a genuinely good job selling me on a direction I wasn't initially keen on. But, like others pointed out, that won't matter unless Yuta's decision has serious, tangible effects on this fight. On the other hand, Yuji getting his moment and beating Sukuna isn't something Gege can afford to mess up on. So there's a really tight balancing act Gege needs to do within these next chapters.

Yuji could just get the final blow/black flash without Yuta losing, like with the first time they tag teamed Yuta only needs to set Yuji up for him to reach Megumi

I broke down and read the spoilers.

I was hoping for Gojo to come back so this result is a huge letdown. It looks like it's just going to result in Yuta getting killed now.

I'm tired, boss.

Reactions online are not as bad as I thought.

The Gojo x Geto shippers are happy that Gege threw them a bone lol. Otherwise... yeah, the rage that it's not really Gojo is pretty contained all things considered.

I'm hoping this is gonna be a fucked up way for the main 3 (Yuji/Yuta/Gojo) to jump Sukuna's ass and put him down. Probably a stretch because I thought they were gonna get him like 5 times already

IT WAS FUCKING YUTA INDEED!! But in a much cooler way than just copying Limitless/Six Eyes. That tiny drawing of Rika slurping Kenjaku up I can't even <3 <3 <3

Theoretically it could still happen in a weird roundabout way. Geto was able to briefly regain some control over Kenjaku. So say if Yuta not being used to either Kenjaku's or Gojo's techniques isn't quite able to match Sukuna with DE and Gojo's lingering soul momentarily helps out even if it's just Yuta acknowledging that he doesn't feel completely in control for a moment. And that gives Yuji the opening he needs against Sukuna.

Just woke up to this and I'm cackling. Glad that Gojo is pretty much confirmed dead. Told y'all he got on that flight, JJK has the world's most efficient flights.

Nice take, I like it!

I am still convinced that Sukuna will take over Yuta's body somehow cause he ate the last finger, though.

Nah, this is just not right by any means. Yuji has DOZENS of iconic panels across several fights (against Mahito, Sukuna pre and post Meguna specially). More than Yuta. Yuta is the one playing catch up on cool scenes.

I appreciate the amount of character work in this chapter. I'm going to cross my fingers that Yuta will just keep Gojo's body after the time limit.

He's a very pretty man. 😂

I will not put this lightly. This is peak JJK. NO ONE predicted this outcome, Gege carefully made sense of everything, every character behaved appropriately, everything makes perfect sense due to the circumstances.

There's plenty to be unhappy due to individual preferences, but Gege COOKED as far as writing goes.

Oh man like 3 theories of mine partially came true about what was going on. I thought it could be Yuta or Kenny and I was also thinking Gojo could come back. That was a great chapter.

If you think about it, a mech fight is basically happened. Yuta is piloting Gojo while Sukuna is piloting Megumi

I can't say I agree, because Yuta killed Kenny, and now he has body snatched Gojo's figure and is piloting it in another domain expansion clash with Sukuna.

I don't even like Yuta, but I can't think of any feats that Yuji has done that surpasses this in terms of cool factor.

Black flash punches don't come anywhere near close to how much Gege is pumping up Yuta from what I'm seeing.

Not a fan of any of this.

Me too, but then again I've checked out of the story a long time ago and am just here to see the ending.

So my new new theory based on the current chapter is:

Gojo will regain control of his body while Yuta is operating it much like how Toji took over the body of Granny Ogami's grandson during the Sibuya Incident arc. Gojo's body is stronger than Yuta's soul!
