Maki came to help, ended up with 2 more enemies?
Like i said before. The fight was not only for the sake of Noritoshi, it was designed to show the difference between Maki and Toji and to help her grasp her full potential in the current state: A swordmaster with great bloodlust to show her how to properly wield the sword her sister gave her and a Sumo fighter to teach her how to give "better hugs" so convenient i must say and she is not totally healed yet. In the end the fight became a mess with these 2 dudes.

Remember the good old days when Jujutsu Kaisen was a manga focused on teenagers with powers doing exorcisms in abandoned buildings?

I was never about that which is the shame. From get go it was about big bad spirit and how we stop his second coming

Yes, but at least the Sukuna affair was tied to this theme, his fingers were often the cause of these haunts.

Now it's Jojo, HxH, in short, a set of freaks with an absurd look and complex powers that beat themselves ...

Referring to this week's chapter, this is the exact sword that Hagane picks up in the chapter

I'm enjoying it. It's a battle manga at the end of the day. Expectations can be good but also make it harder for you to appreciate their work.

JJK is another shonen battle manga with an occult or mythology based set of super powers in which the main character is relatable in his “ordinary joe nobody” identity but has the equivalent of a nuclear bomb inside him

I can’t even begin to list the number of manga and anime that follow this. Exact. Concept. JJK is better than some and worse than others. In the end it’s the non-battle writing; the world building, character relationships and depth/breadth of supporting characters and universal human themes that determine how good a series is and… yeah I don’t really see JJK ranking with the greats.

So… let’s stop complaining about the writing and go back to enjoying the action. I don’t know why the two pizza guys showed up at Maki’s door while the fly-boy was hate-****ing her, but it doesn’t really matter

I like them too. But I understand who was a bit puzzled by this change

I think the weakest point of JJK is the lack of proper character interactions, bonding, and downtime moments. Which sucks cause Gege is actually really good at those, but he simply chooses not to do it most of the time, because his priorities lies more into the fighting, plot and technical aspects.

I think that's a fair critique but it's also okay if that's what they want to make. JJK has always been somewhat serious and fast paced.

Personally, I think that the most problematic thing about the arcs from the culling game is the fact that they feel like a bunch of steps in order to gain something important that leads us to the main plot, so all this part feels kind of slow.

True, I believe that at times Yuji has talked more with Todo in that ten chapters that sees them fighting than in the whole series with the two companions.


Thus there is a narrative problem: if the protagonists worry about each other and we have barely seen them in the same room, the scenes lose their effect.

For me it is just the change of theme.

We have gone from characters who do missions to exorcise spirits to a pit of freaks with weird powers that seem to come out of the mind of a not very inspired Araki. Or a Togashi.

Yeah, I think the pacing will be more digestible once it's animated and hopefully it'll pick up after Maki's development. They made the culling game so expansive with a bunch of characters that need development while also having to fight and put the rules in place to push the plot. From a reader's standpoint it may not feel consequential but since the beginning we've seen big developments from new characters as well as from Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, Hakari, and now Maki. After this, the plot will likely move forward. Also, the manga is supposed to end next year. This seems much more interesting than a bunch of high schoolers running around exorcising spirits.

This is not that weird in shonen tho; there comes a point where the story wants/needs to break from the status quo and expand itself. Precisely in Bleach or HxH, which are Geges main inspirations, happens something similar:

Bleach: starts very similar to JJK, with a guy and his group of close friends slaying some supernatural monsters in their town. Then it evolves into fighting other people, which goes from japanese inspired swordmen, to Nazis with bullshit ass powers.

HxH: almost any arc is completely different and with their own self contained story. Hell York New, Greed Island, and Chimera Ants are extremely different from one another.

Oh, I thought it was just a joke.

It's literally the toy sword.

 

[Franz]

Out

Kimetsu and Pokemon reference.

 

[Zehahaha]

I take it the swordsman has a heavenly restriction on him and he is similar to Toji and Maki. It might be good for Maki to learn from him

Not sure what to make of the sumo wrestler tho
