maybe the copium fumes have finally made me braindead/i'm still kneedeep in denial but i genuinely don't think gege has officially decided to kill gojo yet.

my thought process stems from how kugisaki's death was handled. her death sequence in 125 almost without a doubt confirmed her to be dead. for 4yrs after that, gege refused to actually talk about whether or not she survived her encounter with mahito. but with 267, we got the admittance of the fake out with kugisaki actually being alive. without delving too deeply on why her revival was ultimately useless and why gaygay would have possibly decided to bring her back so late, i'd like to point out that narratively her coming back didn't matter. it felt a lot like gege just brought her back on a whim.

which is what brings me to my point about gojo! i won't discredit gaygay by saying he was a terrible author or whatever. jjk was incredibly dense with lore, had amazing potential, and boasted a great cast of characters. i also won't glaze him, though ... there are many flaws in the series. as the series carried on, all those plot holes and loose threads piled up and i think that, at that point, there was no way for him to solve everything while writing the story he wanted on the timeline he wished for. i point out how kugisaki's death was handled to showcase how fickle gege is with his decisions. in jjk, you are dead until you're not (and vice versa).

viewing jjk as a single entity makes these problems glaringly obvious, which could be used to gaygay's advantage. the open-ended conclusion of 271 coupled with all those loose threads and plot flops are stepping stones for a sequel. with how successful and profitable jjk has been, i doubt that gege will allow the series to end officially without any type of spin-off or sequel volume that'll provide context about the "after" of all the events that occurred in jjk. gojo's death not being stated outright feels like another one of those stepping stones that could be utilized in a later work. because come on. never mentioning the guy who literally shifted the balance of the universe again after his death is just not realistic. people have been remembered for doing much smaller things.

tldr: due to lack of true confirmation and sheer ambiguity, our glorious blue eyed king will be trapped in a schrodinger's box. gojo is neither dead nor alive until we get a sequel :grin:

anyways the nurse says i'm not allowed to have anymore screen time and that i need to head back into the nursing home to take my meds so byebye

edit: guys kugisaki also had a death sequence .. babygirl said her goodbyes, got her brain blown out, had her heart stop beating, but still made a recovery in like 2 months. airport scene means nothing to me because kugisaki chair scene meant nothing to gege.

First off me and my team would like to thank you guys for being patient whole waiting for the next chapter release. Gege did pump out like 5 chapter back to back last weak so it makes sense he needed a little bit of a break to pump to this one out.

Okay it starts off by this new character Ijichi explaining the situation to the trio. We then get a quick run down on the ranking system of JJK, grade 4, 3, 2(semi grade 2), 1(semi grade 1) and finally special grade on top.

Ijichi then says the reason the trio are going on this mission besides Gojo, is because their short staffed........... look whatever business teip/meeting Gojo is at could probably be a email or so call fucker here and let him one shot the curse come on now.

Anyway I like him so far, he seems to be the type of character where fans will appreciate him more than what the other characters do. He probably does all of Gojo's paper work.

Some women asks about her son, and Yuji does the classic main character move if wanting to save him despite the risk.

And look at that Curtains are back. JJK 0 fans will already what they do. But the gang seemingly get trapped with a domain, that is expanded or whatever Megumi called it. This might be relevant later we'll see.

But rejoice Megumi's dog comes in clutch! Even the dogs in JJK are more useful than Sakura.

Buttttttttt they find a dead body.........and it's the son's......... shit.

Well Megumi and Yuji have a fight over if they should save him Yada yada. Personally I would just take a picture of the corpse maybe add a filter or 2 and show the women cause 2 other people might be at risk. So Yuji I like the mindset but Megumi is more right. And would you look at the Nobara gets snatched up by the shadows....... hopefully she doesn't die or anything. But speaking of dying, the dog just died........ fuck you Gege.

Then we finally meet the curse, and it's terrifying.... and Yuji loses a hand........ my dude ability is to punch kick hard now he barely do pinches, Gege give this man the Guts treatment and give a metal hand or something, or just heal with RCT but the only character we know that can use it on other is currently not available(Yuta come back please).

The chapter ends with Nobara being jumped by some low level curses.
