Okay, Tsurugi might die, I can live with that, that's okay

Now you don't need to kill Yuka, right, Gege?

Mahito really wasn't built for Itadori post Shinjuku

So many things going on.
I guess after his fight with Tsurugi, Marulu and Yuji went up to ship?

Or I might be misinterpreting and they are showing a flashback of event prior to all these fights where Marulu met Yuji in secret and they did something on the Kalayan ship before the duel between Dabura and Yuka.

After Marulu's fight with Tsurugi it seems like Dabura noticed something that Marula did regarding the Kalayan on the ship and got a hint on how to do a domain expansion via some barrier perhaps.

Whatever Marulu is doing has something to do with multiple curse techniques being intertwined.

• Marulu - Harmony and Chaos
• Yuta's Remnant Curse Energy
• The Ship's MUL
• -and Mahito's Cursed Technique

I guess they are using Yuta's vast amount of Cursed Energy left behind in the ring as a battery, to supplement his Harmony technique while also using Mahito's Cursed transfiguration to forcably remove curse energy from humans or make it so everybody in the world can control their cursed energy. In the past it was impossible for Geto to forcibly change everyone into sorcerers from the lack of cursed energy when he first obtained Mahito's cursed technique so he went the culling game route.

If Yuji is referring to Todo as his Older Brother here or perhaps even Choso, then that book must be Yuki's who held the same idealogy of wanting to get rid of cursed spirits for good.

I was wondering if Tsurugi would be willing to strike Maru down last week, never would've expected a flashback bringing Mai up to show Why he couldn't go through with it tho... reading that so close to the Perfect Preparation episode of the anime, there's no way I couldn't get emotional over that lol

I'd like to think that, similar to Toji breaking the fate tying Gojo, Geto, Riko, and Tengen together, Tsurugi making a binding vow to lower his cursed energy gave him the power to change fate too. If things kept up the way they were going, I doubt any of our main characters would reach a true Happy Ending, but by refusing to strike Maru down (and refusing the culture and "strength" that brought him to a fight with Maru in the first place) there's still time for everyone to turn back and make things right.......

and speaking of the plan, it's been so long since we've seen someone talk about creating a world without cursed spirits! It put the biggest smile on my face seeing Yuji talk about Yuki (and Choso by extension) and busting out the book filled with her life's work to aid Maru, I'm glad that her legacy persists so many years later in a big way like this. Maru's technique seems to interact with nature itself so combining that with Idle Transfiguration and a shitload of cursed energy should make for an interesting time. Was hilarious seeing Mahito get forcefully roped into the plan too, I think that's an even funnier outcome than just having Yuji obliterate him in a rematch lol

this chapter's got me thinking a Ton but there's one last thing I can't help but wonder about: if Maru and crew are in the space between life and death, I wonder if it's still possible for Yuka and Tsurugi to pop up here to help out too? Unless Rika was able to heal Tsurugi after talking to Maru, he's bleeding out somewhere still, and with Dabura's incredible growth as a sorcerer (his Domain Expansion looks sick, by the way) it's likely that Mahoraga will lose soon and Yuka's death will be "finalized". Hell, we don't know Cross' condition either so it's not impossible his connection to Maru would draw him there. I wouldn't Mind if Maru handles this without the others but I'd love to see Yuka, Tsurugi, and Cross' spirits pass through this place to turn it into a true group effort before hopefully giving them all a second chance at life in a world without cursed spirits. Would be a nice cap to Yuka's arc especially with how she decided she wanted to be reborn as Tsurugi's younger sister once again before heading out to throw Mahoraga at Dabura...

I am confused. This feels mega rushed

 

[FlorianGran]

The jump to Yuji and Maru being together was very weird

 

[Rift-]

Mahito's fucked

 

[Dennis-aka-Denji]

The jump to Yuji and Maru being together was very weird

They did say this was gonna be a short work, that will probably force them to cut some narration short. Moreso as we get to the final chapters.

 

[Miltris]

Will this be mahoragas first dub?

 

[Saybah]

If Yuji is referring to Todo as his Older Brother here or perhaps even Choso, then that book must be Yuki's who held the same idealogy of wanting to get rid of cursed spirits for good.

It is Choso.

 

[kohakusan]

That was so weird, when did they meet? this is feeling so rushed

 

[fight2live]

this is the very first battle Dabura ever fight on Earth and he already learned how to do Reverse Cursed Technique and Domain Expansion. and what do you mean Mahoraga is "adapting to my existence"??? insane

 

[geogio13]

Well then, Let The Sky Fall.
