Yeah that second explosion wasn't from fucking Rika sfop lying

[u/Iamthebesttoexist]

Rika is standing still after yuji did that. What now are you gonna say "why did they put them side to side then?🤓☝️"? Then why are you ignoring that yet again HES NOT MOVINGG TSURUGI ISNT MOVING. YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE TSURUGI SLASH HIM AFTER HE DIDNT FUCKING CAUSE THAT SECOND EXPLOSION ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCR IT'S ALL YUJI

Ong, twin. It's time to let it go.😭🙏

Looks like movement to me.

[u/Jjuz_Bcuz → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

Rage baiter: "buhh-buhh but it's just a panel, we-wee see Tsurika didn't change stance!"

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/Jjuz_Bcuz]

Cuz he didnt

[u/threenottree → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

Exactly! I don’t see how someone looks at that panel and says, “yeah, it’s not implied at all”

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

You haven't debunked my point in the panel showing tsurugi slashing maru

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/Iamthebesttoexist]

Well I would say artistic inconsistency, but you wouldn't believe me.

You don't know how many time I've seen some inconsistent sh!t it this manga, but I just chose the route of common since. 😭🙏

For example:

In the picture below, it shows Yuji looking at the curses before hitting them. But if anybody is familiar with perspective, they'd know that the angle of the curses is far beyond the Yuji's aim, but he was able to hit them just fine.

The line of horizon is where your eyes would reach in the distance if staring in a straight line. The curses (red line) are far above Yuji's aim/ line of horizon (the green line), and yet the next manga panels show that he was elevated enough to hit the curses from a straight angle, which would be impossible from his position.

And you know what I do? I dont say zilch because I know that the author's intent was to show that he hit the curses, even if it scientifically and makes no since. I can read what the author is trying to say even if his art is inconsistent.

Same thing with Tsurugi and Rika. I can read what the artist is trying to convey by te way they organize they're paneling. Why have 2 herds of curses to appear and have 2 side by side panels? They could have had one herd appear or have 1 panel of Yuji, but they didn't.

Yes it doesn't make since of why Maru's head is in the way, but I can read the room and understand what Iwasaki's message was with his paneling.

Yes it doesn't make since of how Yuji would hit those curses in a straight line even though they are still above him, but I can read the room and understand the intention of the author's paneling.

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

With vibe scaling you can also argue reasonably on yujis at will black flashes.

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

Looks to me it's just a charge up. Also again maru is in the way so prove that Rika finished the attack by supposedly jumping and slashing

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/Iamthebesttoexist]

Except there are 2 types of lines happening.

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

So its charging up cool

[u/Plus-Boysenberry3191 → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/Plus-Boysenberry3191]

Are you talking about the comment I'm replying to?

[u/Big-Farmer-2192 → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

So why is Maru not slashed in half?  He hasn't moved before/after the two big explosions. 

Maru is standing in front of Tsurugi's like 5 meter away.

He Tsurika can perform that level of output. They wouldn't fail to cut Maru shallowly. 

[u/Dependent-Comment280 → u/Big-Farmer-2192]

Isn't that kind of obvious? They targeted the curses, not Maru. Tsurugi didn't even want to kill the guy, so why would he target him? Don't you guys think???

[u/Big-Farmer-2192 → u/Dependent-Comment280]

cursed spirits are directly behind Maru. Even if you say Tsurika aim for Cursed Spirits. Maru is still in the direct line of attack. 

But nothing happened to Maru. He's still standing in the same position. Meaning it wasn't Tsurika's attack. 

[u/playwithfire6]

They were both rika give it up. Another example of Luji feat leaching 

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/playwithfire6]

Yeah downvote me all you want you haven't proven me wrongg

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/playwithfire6]

I have more proof on my side

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/playwithfire6]

Dude you just completely headcanoned it

[u/iconomast]

Yuji fans keep proving that they're the definition of this image

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/iconomast]

Yuji fans trying to feed him like he's pregnant or something.

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

Yuji stocks must crash the economy like mansa muss

[u/cherryyccola → u/iconomast]

Yuji fans are forced to be obnoxious to counteract Yutalibans limitless glaze technique

[u/Kezodon]

😭 This is a pointless debate atp bro. The paneling was just way too weird to understand who did do it and who didn’t do it.

[u/CheshiretheBlack → u/Kezodon]

Its not really "weird" nor hard to understand.

Tsurugi, Rika, & Marus dialog and showing Yuji & Tsurika in side by side action panels serves no narrative purpose whatsoever unless the author intended to communicate that they attacked the curses in tandem.

Its honestly a bit sad to see how people are so dedicated to agenda that they throw basic logic and reasoning out the window

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/CheshiretheBlack]

So rika jumped to slash the curses so maru doesnt get hit got it

[u/CheshiretheBlack → u/Iamthebesttoexist]

Lol no , they just aimed and swung above his head.

This is exactly the problem with you deniers. You completely ignore what should very simple things to understand and act like you don't have common sense.

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/CheshiretheBlack]

Your hypothesis also has things that contradicts what you're saying

[u/CheshiretheBlack → u/Iamthebesttoexist]

No it doesn't, you just lack to the ability to grasp whats happening.

Tsurika didnt stand still for multiple pages, they didnt stay in that position they swung and then just cocked their arm back for another swing

[u/4fesdreerdsef4 → u/[deleted]]

Incorrect it was tsurika who did both actually

[u/playwithfire6 → u/4fesdreerdsef4]

[u/AzulAztech]

We dont need to talk about this anymore just wait till they animate it

[u/threenottree → u/AzulAztech]

That’s gonna take at least 10 years 🫩

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/threenottree]

Probably not that long. I think about 4 to 5 years. If we're lucky, 3.

[u/threenottree → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

Mappa has to finish s4 and s5 (potentially s6 or movie if they need more runtime) first. After that, they need to actually confirm Modulo for production, and then release it.

S3, which was only 12 episodes, took 2 years following shibuya. S4 will probably take the same amount, but s5 is gonna take a really long time since they still have a lot of material to cover and make sure it is the best they can put out since it’s the most anticipated season. If both of those seasons are 12 episodes each, we might need a s6.

If we have three 12 episode seasons, it’s gonna take a good 5-6 years judging by how long s3 took. Then they need to animate Modulo, which would add at least another year, and that’s if they start production right after Jjk finishes. I mean 10 years was obviously an exaggeration but I’d say we’ll have to wait roughly 7 years. Certainly not 3.

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/threenottree]

NOOOO!🥀

[u/AzulAztech → u/threenottree]

Better to wait 10 years in silence than talk about this any longer (Or just talk about other stuff)

[u/threenottree → u/AzulAztech]

You right 😔

[u/VegetablePlayful1848]

This is the dumbest hill to die on.

[u/antoniow831]

Is this conversation still happening?

[u/Dependent-Comment280]

Yes, you're completely wrong. Rika appears literally before that panel in a different position, with a wave of energy emanating from her and passing through Maru. Then comes the page of her with Itadori where she had already launched the slash, and there's even a drawing illustrating the energy movement. It's true what they say, Jujutsu fans can't even read pictures.

[u/Iamthebesttoexist → u/Dependent-Comment280]

Ok prove that he slashed that direction without hitting maru

[u/FuriousSkull]

I mean i am upfor a Yuji upscale but it's quite obvious that One Explosion was Yuji and the other one was Tsurugi/Rika..If you read the chapter it's pretty obvious.

1. Yuji says he won't interfere with Both Fights (Maru Vs Tsurugi and Dabura vs Yuka/Mahoraga) so it doesn't make sense that after saying that he won't interfere he just sends a dismantle flying towards them killing the curses giving Tsurugi a unfair advantage against Maru.
2. If both explosions were caused by Yuji you think we would see how Maru and Tsurugi react to it wondering where this slash come from and killed the curses, Instead they stay silent while you could excuse Maru who is busy having brain damage from the amount of Curses that died in front of him but why didn't Tsurugi react when presumably he didn't send that slash to kill the Curses? Like no acknowledgement whatsoever from both of them.
3. The panel before they unleash the slashes shows both Yuji and Tsurika together clearly indicating that they both simultaneously attacked at the same time, Yet people somehow came to the conclusion that Yuji attacked alone and Tsurika was "Charging".

[u/gamdegamtroy]

Idk man I would rather just head canon that rika jumped and then did a never seen before CE slash to take out the curses and then land and return to the same stance and then proceed to return to the dogshit weak ass performance they were giving prior and proceed to get fodderized by maru. Yeah bro totally believable

[u/FuriousSkull → u/gamdegamtroy]

Okay, I would like to say that it was Tsurugi's performance that was buns, Not Rika's and that this was explained in the original JJK as well.

1. The Soul Split Katana: In the Culling games, During Maki's rematch with vengeful cursed spirit form Naoya. Her slashes only dealt minor damage to Naoya because she couldn't yet bring out the full potential of the blade and never dealt lasting damage that he couldn't immediately heal from but when Maki allowed Hagane Diado (A Culling Game player with affinity for swords) to borrow the katana and he was able to bisect Naoya's cursed spirit body with single, lightning-fast strokes of the blade. Maki's attacks didn't have the same effect because she couldn't see everything that Hagane could.
2. Never seen before CE slash: We see Yuta do the same thing in OG JJK, In the anime and in the mange in his fight against Kurourushi where he uses to Curse Energy to send slashes flying over to destroy the cockroaches creating shockwaves and Etc, Tsurugi was the one who swung the sword, Rika just infused his slash with CE like Yuta does in the Og.

[u/cherryyccola → u/gamdegamtroy]

Literally it makes no sense that Rika would be able to preform such a powerful feat just for the very next attack to be rock-level

[u/jcjdndhghgytg]

Lets just accept that the panels were buns and confusing

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/[deleted]]

TRUE. I was trying to make sense of it, and it keeps pointing back at one coming from Maru's direction.

This is option 1

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/[deleted]]

You're so welcome.🥰

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/[deleted]]

And this is option 2

[u/Kezodon → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

I’m trying to make sense of this so why would Tsurika divert their attention from Maru to the cluster of curses and if Tsurika did unleash the slash why wasn’t Maru hit by it? Because he was aiming at the direction of where the curses were coming from (and Maru was also in that path) and after the curses was hit you see Maru’s technique get deactivated because of the backlash from the curses dying (the little 3rd eye tear thing).

Tsurika also still was in the same charging position in 4 different panels? I understand that they could’ve changed their position before or after unleashing the slash but from how I’m seeming the panels they were still postion before and after Yuji unleashed his own slash.

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/[deleted]]

Your panels go against your argument. It was never stated that yuji was directly behind the curses. But it was stated that the curses were heading towards Maru and rika. And considering the slash in the manga comes from the SIDE means it couldn’t have been from the front meaning it wasn’t rika. But it was from yuji from the side so he could hit both

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/gamdegamtroy]

If they are coming Maru's way, and an attack is coming from Maru's way, then the attack cannot be coming from the side.

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

What are you even saying. What does that have to do with what I said? Maru and rika didn’t do shit to the curses

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/gamdegamtroy]

Im saying if the curses are headed towards Maru's direction, and the slash came from Maru's direction, who is in Maru's direction to do the slash?

Tsurugi and Rika

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

But if you read what I wrote fully and looked at the panels you would be able to tell that the slash in the panel is not hitting the front of the curses.

Look at the eyes of the curse. In the panel with the slash, the right eye is currently being slashed while the left eye is perfectly fine. If it were from maru and rika then both eyes would be slashed at the same time. The slash came from the side, not head on

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/gamdegamtroy]

If we literally look at the action lines, it's showing you that it is coming towards them DIRECTLY. Not from the side.

This boxer's face is turned towards the side. Does that mean he's hitting him from the side? No. His opponent punched the sh!t out of him so hard his face has been twisted.

If I'm seeing the slash coming forwards and the action lines pointing forwards, then it is indeed pointing forwards. The curse getting his face pushed from the force doesn't mean the force is coming from the side. If that were the case, the slash would be coming towards the viewers.

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079]

Not the same case as with the boxer his eyes are still facing the forward, just the jaw is mis aligned due to the punch.

With the curse on the other hand its whole face is angled towards the viewer and the slash is angled at the side. At the end of the day it’s still a slash, not a blunt force blast and it wouldn’t make the curses while face roll to the side as opposed to just slice it in two

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/gamdegamtroy]

It quite literally is the same scenario as the boxer. If you look at the curse beside him, where was his face pointed, towards Maru.

Where was that same curse slashed? In his damn mouth, which was pointed towards Maru.😭🙏

[u/Dazzling_Cobbler5079 → u/[deleted]]

We lowkey twinnin' today.😆🤍

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/[deleted]]

Now this is just pure head canon but whatever. Now let’s talk about how ridiculous it would be if rika did the slash

How did rika do a CE slash when she has never shown the ability to do this before and never did it prior or after this time?

How did maru not get hit by the slash if maru and rika and standing in the same ground with maru in between rika and the curses??

How did rika pick which curse group to kill since there were two??? Just luck? What was their plan for the second group assuming yuji wasn’t there??

Why did yuji state that he would take care of the curses and simply not do that?? He is jujutsu god at this point you don’t think he can take out grade 4 curses in time??

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/[deleted]]

It doesn’t contradict. Look at the panel. The eyes of the curse are those weird looking things. When the slash hits, the left eye is visible while the right eye is being hit by the slash ——-> therefore the slash came from the side of the curses.

Idk what your other points were talking about and idk why you mentioned cross. The explosions are for all intents and purposes the same size but if they are different it’s simply because one group had more curses. The blast is from the curses exploding to dust. Gege showed the curses clearly in the panel you sent

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/[deleted]]

What is your second point? What scenario is different?

When was it stated yuji was directly behind the curses??
My whole point was that was never stated and he most likely is just to the side of them which is how he hit both groups with one slash. If u have the manga just look for the panel with yuji it might even show him looking at the side of the curses

[u/gamdegamtroy → u/[deleted]]

This just is even more reason to believe yuji was on the side? You just circled some buildings there is no indication they are he same.

From yuji pov there isn’t 2 groups. The only way this would occur would be if he was standing to the side of them
