    fight dont move the plot forward lmfao this isnt something new

    One Piece spending 50 chapters on Luffy vs Kaido tell me exactly what happened to the plot of One piece during that year

    im not a fan of one piece and haven't watched wano but luffy gains gear 5, beats an emperor, has his bounty increased to like 3 billion or some s*** and i think becomes an emperor himself along with law and kid. That def moves the plot forward.

    All the disaster curses are great characters. I feel Jogo is so underrated. He doesn’t even see himself as the bad guy, and is friendly towards other curses because he thinks they are the real humans and he’s willing to stake his existence on giving them the rightful ruling.

    Totally agree, especially on Jogo. What he said to Gojo in their first fight - "Humans these days ... don't live in truth - real strength and the truth will be spread through death" & how he went about executing this ideal - strikes me as a core theme of the series. I take the way Gege treats death, including Nobara's, as a kind of Hagakure. Mahito's speech to Yuji after the black flash still resonates years later for this reason.

    This is perfectly well put, great a***ysis man. And that greatness should be shown next episode. I’m so hype

    I complain a lot about this series but i like it a lot it's my fav new-gen shonen besides chainsaw man. It's more of i can see it being a 10/10 or a 9.5 series but its issues bring it down to like 7.5 and issues are more glaring in a series you like as opposed to one you don't care about

    I like so much about jjk man it’s def the weekly I’m most excited to check on every week. Still Gege is kinda an annoying writer in places and the fans can’t take any criticism. A part of reacting is criticism! It reminds me of reading bleach near the end of its run. Jjk not nearly as out of control but damn there is some inconsistency and narrative convenience people don’t wanna admit.

    I be calling it mediocre but it’s a consummate 8.5 if I’m not hating. I think the anime will mitigate some annoyances in the manga. Didn’t really fix Nobara this week but there’s not you can finesse there. Plus maybe that story not over.

    This is a lie. JJK fandom literally talks s*** about it anytime a chapter is controversial such as Gojo’s death. You literally have juju folks which is a Reddit like AOT folks where they s*** on it regularly lol

    If you are talking about us in here it is because most of the complaints are dumb.

    And this is in my top 5 most favorite mangas of all time right now but I rate it a 8.5-9 too. It needs to land the ending if I’m going to give it the 9 to 9.5 I want to give it. Depending on how that goes could make it just be 8 or even a 7.5 or so, but still remains one of the most entertaining mangas I read. And I’m sure anyone in this thread will say it’s not perfect. Barely any manga is.

    Yo help me understand

    I would never in my life go in a thread of an anime I DONT like….to spread how bad I think it is.

    So why do you do it

    I didn’t say I don’t like it but let me help you understand. I’m reading the manga, I have opinions, I open this thread and see people praising this manga for its writing which I disagree with and I post in it because gatekeeping dorks can’t stop me. If you need anymore help, shout me

    Oh yea the anime has definitely made some things better for me especially with this arc which i already liked in the manga. The long ass explanations being gone and expanding on things like jogos fight with sukuna helps so much. It does make me look forward to parts i didn't really care about in the manga like Kashimo getting completely folded by sukuna or makis fight with the zenins

    I think you just responded before you saw my edit with my rating. My bad lol my response was more so for the puffy user, but if you know about jujutsufolks then you know what I’m talking about I suppose.

    im not a fan of one piece and haven't watched wano but luffy gains gear 5, beats an emperor, has his bounty increased to like 3 billion or some s*** and i think becomes an emperor himself along with law and kid. That def moves the plot forward.

    Authors could basically skip to the end of every fight and for the plot it would be the same. If Luffy beats kaido in 2-3 chapters or 30 doesnt really matter so I personally see fighting (if done well) always as something more character driven.

    Good authors use fights to show growth, hardship and explain the motivation of the characters and their clashing ideologies. I would for sure count JJK to one of these stories that do it well.

    To me the plot is everything about the sealing of Gojo, Kenjakus and sukunas plot etc. so yeah I dont think JJK has alot of plot per se. We can agree to disagree tho its fine

    Even if Gojo and Geto was never a confirmed thing Kiara and Hakari definitely is.

    Who wouldve thought that characters that struggle to fit into the patriarchal conservative jujutsu society and get kicked out of school, would be rebellious and nonconformist to their societies standards
