“Blood and Oil Part 2”

Chapter opens with a flashback to Choso telling Yuki he wants to fight Kenjaku alone. Yuki tells him that he’ll die if he does that, Choso says that the alternative is that they fight Kenjaku 2v1 and that risks them getting in each other’s way. He says that it’s better if he fights Kenjaku first and forces Kenjaku to reveal some of the abilities he has and maybe even use a Domain Expansion, then Yuki can go to fight Kenjaku with additional knowledge and against a Kenjaku that might even be unable to use his technique for a while if Choso succeeds in forcing him to expand his Domain. Yuki agrees but reminds Choso that he will die, Choso says he is fine with that since it is for the sake of his brothers and mother.

Kenjaku then beats Choso’s ass for 13 pages.

Choso asks what Kenjaku is planning for Yuji, since he hasn’t just been abandoned the way Kenjaku abandoned the Death Paintings. Kenjaku says “That” (meaning Yuji) doesn’t really have a role, he’s just a vessel for Sukuna. Sukuna’s return is the spark that set this all in motion and as long as he exists, the age of curses won’t come to an end since Sukuna is the eye of the storm. Choso gets angry and yells that Kenjaku is the center of all of this, not Yuji.

Choso looks down and realizes that curses have trapped his leg, and Kenjaku clobbers him while he is stuck. Kenjaku says he knows Choso is basically just a scout for Yuki, so he isn’t going to use any technique other than Curse Spirit Manipulation and stick to his low level curses. Kenjaku calls all the death paintings uninteresting disappointments, which enrages Choso. Kenjaku asks if he hurt Choso’s feelings, then tells him that Choso is the biggest disappointment of all since he had the highest hopes for Choso out of all his siblings.

Kenjaku then hits Choso with that centipede move he used against Yuji in Shibuya, and asks him if he knows what it means to be a Special Grade Sorcerer. He says that it means you could take over a country. He claims that this certainly would’ve been possible for Gojo but also would’ve been possible for Geto. We then see a seemingly KO’d Choso and Kenjaku says this is what happens when someone who is only first rate tries to stand up to a Special Grade Sorcerer.

Tengen is worried, but Yuki tells her this isn’t over yet. Choso thinks to himself that he is a failure of an older brother who couldn’t get even a single good hit against his shitstain farther, but he won’t stand for Kenjaku calling his younger brothers uninteresting disappointments. A fountain of blood erupts from where Choso was lying, and he is now back on his feet. He asks for his brothers to lend him their strength and we see he now has Flowing Red Scale stacked.

 

[Rein Avara]

Choso naurrrr

 

[Gallon]

Choso, you absolute madman. I really hope he ends up forcing Kenjaku to unleash his domain.

[Zehahaha]

RIP Choso, you were a great oni-chan. A shame that he had to face Kenjaku now

 

[Franz]

English translation

 

[Ero-Sanji]

Oni-chan!

Kenjaku is so cold, calling his children things.

 

[Hermit]

Excellent chapter, first good fight in ages this manga has had. That quote about 'Why do you think they are called special grade sorcerers' was EPIC.

Choso potentially dying is meh, honestly was never really sold on his character. His dynamic with Yuji feels like a watered down version of the Todo-Yuji one.

 

[Zehahaha]

Guess it's pretty much confirmed now that Yuji is some sort of cursed womb. Now, I don't think he was created at the same time as Choso and his siblings, but probably created for the sole purpose of serving as Sukuna's vessel

More like since Hakari vs Kashimo

Yuji being a cursed womb death painting was 99% confirmed in the flashback to his mom with Kenjaku’s possession scar across her forehead.

Seems like Yuji’s role as Sukuna’s host was mostly to attract strong curses to his general area. Geto’s cursed spirit manipulation technique gets stronger the more curses he has available to him.

The real plot right now is about Kenjaku and his ambitions.

The thing I don’t get is why Kenjaku is even necessary as a character. Geto himself had quite similar motivations to Kenjaku.

Kashimo was cool, but not Hakari. His CT ruined it for me. A chore to understand, then there was the convenient jackpots every freakin time he got washed, dragging the fight. Plus his fighting style is nothing noteworthy.

Yuta's gauntlet was raw tho. If only Gege didn't blue ball the triple DE and bring the roach back in it, would've easily been top 5 fight in the series.

Eeeh, nope.

Geto was just a poor delusional supremacist KKK style who wanted to extermine the entire human population, to make an "ideal" world for his fellow sorcerers, also he was just mostly only linked to Gojo.

Kenjaku is a mad scientist who just wants to satisfy his curiosity by exploring the extends and posibilities of CE, he doesnt have a "grand" goal for how the world should be, and definetly doesnt care about "philosophies" or anyone, plus he has conextion with not only the MC but a bigger number of characters, also the overall lore of JJK. They aint similar at all.

I didnt had much problem with Hakari, the thing with his CT is that we barely had any familiarity with Pachinko, since is a very Japan-exclusive game, but his whole gimmick fits his character of being lucky and posibly cheater. Having him gaining more jackpsots the longer he fights falls under Pachinko rules with the probability thing, i actually liked how campy and bizarre the fight was. And it was only 4 chapters, the problem is that the weekly burn plus the constant breaks during that time gave the feeling that it was longer and dragged than it really was imo.

I agree the DE blueball with Yuta was evil, but still the fight remained raw regardless imo. Although my fav from CG is still Megumi vs Reggie.

Absolutely not

I wouldn’t say it was confirmed. We knew Kenjaku orchestrated Yuji’s birth, but I think it was unclear whether he was normal or actually a cursed womb like Choso.

Choso having images and feeling Yuji’s presence was certainly a hint + Yuji’s own physical prowess. But with this chapter, it is 100% clear to me.

I don’t think Yuji as a cursed womb was created at the same time as others. Kenjaku clearly wanted Yuji to serve as Sukuna’s host and orchestrated everything from his birth to him getting his hands on the finger and swallowing it.
