Poor artist being roped into this shit show of a sequel. I bet the Sumerians will have some bs anti-domain expansion gimmick or have an alien equivalent of Geto. Can't wait for the 6th massive cast kill off by the goat again111!!1!!1

Not enough time has passed

Bruh JJK just keeps breaking my brain 😱 the latest chapter was wild, like I didn’t even expect that twist at all. Gege really don’t hold back, every time I think I know whats coming he just flips everything upside down. I’m still shook rn fr.

Sometimes it's wise to know when to stop... instead of taking a good break and coming up with something new, Gege went full Boruto and followed the same recipe for failure; there's a limit on how much you can capitalize from past success

Eh it's okay. Feels like Togashi tried his hand at JJK.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Milking would've been a more appropriate title for this and Gege should be getting treatment for his depression because going by the afterwords in the volumes and what he said after JJK was finished the man is not OK. Instead the editorial staff is force feeding him crack and vodka made with gasoline so they can milk a few silvers more out of the brand. There is no other explanation why this thing exists.

So making a sequel to shounen equals milking it no matter what?

Was I making a general statement about sequels or talking about one very specific one?

And so badly executed. At least in Naruto the alien card was pulled after years of buildup, here it's like the author didn't want to think too much and reading Dragon Ball said ehhhh why not it's good enough.

yea, and there was barely any worldbuilding or character building within the first and second season. because how is there sorcerers and schools but barely more than 20 even in the whole series too. kinda feels like gege rushed thru jjk to start this new thing

One thing I always found strange about this manga is how the concept of curses itself is added to the "real world" but it barely has any impact on how things have developed in history.

Sukuna was already a being akin to a god that can level entire countries like a thousand years ago or something. Kenjaku has been developing monsters that make all kinds of turmoils for 200 years or so. The only time humanity becomes aware of the existence of curses is in the Shinjuku incident and it only becomes a major point in history in the culling game. But everything before that looks like has been 1:1 to our own history and most people didn't know what curses were. There were things like the roman empire, Ghengis Khan, the crusades, the colonization of America, Asia and Africa, the world wars, etc, etc, but we assume it was the same and something as powerful as curses didn't influence at all in all of that and people just don't know.

We could say Chainsaw Man has a similar problem, but it's somehow implied there is a sort of funky thing going on regarding reality and even so everyone is well aware of the existence of demons because, well, they are things akin to Sukuna and of course everyone knows their presence. But here it's like curses have been shoehorned in an ilogical manner regarding their influence in world events and general knowledge about them.

For a series that puts so much effort in the magical technobabble and parts are literally offscreen characters explaining to you what's going on in the fight so everyone can follow, it sure does not take it's world logic too seriously.
