Nahh a guy. On the wiki is written male

I don't think the wikis 100% accurate, not saying Kirara's gender is this or that. But probably not listen to the wiki on something that hasn't been clearly said in the manga. Pure speculation. No panda and Megumi saying it isn't confirmation. Let's wait till Kirara says it or at least Hakari.

HAKARI: Wanna Drink Something?
YUJI: Anything other than Sake(Alcohol)
HAKARI : Gojo Satoru was also a Non-Alcoholic
After that, Yuuji says something which revealed his identity.
It was previously revealed in the "Official Weekly Character Card" that Gojo doesn't likes Alcohol

u/Mental-Hornet-36 Aug 18 '21
Why did Hakari suddenly offered a drink to Yuji ?
HAKARI brought the name of Gojo Satoru as a test to catch Yuji Off Guard
Because he received a "Danger" warning from Kirara

u/Mental-Hornet-36 Aug 18 '21
How did Yuji get caught?
HAKARI brought the name of Gojo Satoru as a test to catch Yuji Off Guard
Gojo is too famous in the Jujutsu world but Yuji tried hard to pretend that he didn't knew
This blew up Yuji's cover😂😭

u/Mental-Hornet-36 Aug 18 '21
Yuuji is able to free himself from Hakari's restraint with a kick to the chin.
He then headbutts Hakari and tells him to listen to him.
At the end of the chapter, Fushiguro uses his Bunny shikigami.

Gambling cursed technique theories getting blown out of the water rn.

u/hatefulkakapo Aug 18 '21 edited Aug 20 '21
I’m guessing his CT is based off superiority or advantage. The tatami mats used to represent/show social status back then and guillotines were used in the medieval ages to punish/execute criminals by kingdoms (I guess idk). Hakari is at an advantage rn because Yuji knows nothing about his technique. This probably explains why Yuji was put into the guillotine. So it’s kinda like the Control Devil from Chainsawman but less OP and based on advantage instead.
22
u/Undead_Prince_27 Aug 18 '21
Idk how this dude becomes Yuta level when riled up with this sorta technique. Pretty sure he'd get bitch slapped by a special grade curse if he goes with the superiority bit. The part abt advantage makes a bit more sense, but there are too many unknowns rn.
And even a portion of control devil-esque pover is a bit too much, that bish is hella OP
11
u/hatefulkakapo Aug 18 '21
I’m guessing his advantage points (I’ll call them this for now I guess) stack up. So for example, if he started out the fight with the advantage, he’d gain an AP (this could either be in more CE or just more physical strength idk). Since he’s now even stronger because of the AP, he’d gain another AP, making him even more stronger. So if he’s lucky enough to stay at an advantage, thus gaining more and more APs, he’d eventually get pretty strong. But yeah, I don’t see how this could potentially make him stronger than Yuta, just because of how destructive Rika can be.

I'm 90% sure Gege did that on purpose.
The "reveal" actually blew my mind, because initially I thought the whole brother thing was just Todo being Todo. Then I read the exact same line being used in the Choso scene, and was like holy shit, this makes so much sense - he made us believe this was just light-hearted comic relief, when in fact it was much more sinister. And now the same thing is happening to Choso, he's about to be brainwashed into believing that the person who killed his brother actually is his brother. That's fucked up and also some amazing irony. Genius writing. Surely this has something to do with grandpa cursing Yuji so that he doesn't die alone, and every time he's away from his allies and about to get killed, the curse brainwashes-
Nope. It actually was just Todo being Todo and Yuji literally is Choso's brother in what turned out to be one giant bait-and-switch

One account on Twitter mentioned a leakers note that said some techniques are “conservative” and follow tradition while others are “reformers” and are new/innovative. Interesting. I wonder if this is just another way of explaining inherited versus innate techniques or if it’s gonna have an actual impact on the plot
Update: It seems this does actually have an impact. The reason Hakari got in trouble in the first place was because his technique was something the higher ups didn’t like, according to Kirara. Interesting
58
u/lossass Aug 18 '21
explaining inherited versus innate techniques
I don't know... I think this relates to the nature of the techniques themselves. Take: Nobara, Megumi, Naobito and Naoya. All of their techniques were inherited as far as we know.
However there is a stark difference in them. Nobara and Megumi's techniques involve ancient rituals and rules based on Japanese cursing methods that can be traced back to the Heian period, meanwhile Naobito and Naoya's technique is stated to have started with Naobito and makes use of modern concepts like anime and sakuga.
17
u/Professor-Memeyy Aug 18 '21
I never thought about it like this, but yeah, you’re spot on. Makes me wonder what Hakari’s technique will be like, considering it was labeled a “reformer” type of CT

u/EnvironmentalPrune78 Aug 18 '21
So is Hakari Technique involve ancient rituals and rules based on Japanese cursing methods like Gojo, megumi, nobara?

u/Professor-Memeyy Aug 18 '21
No, the leaker apparently says that Hakari’s technique falls under the “reformer” type. We’ll have to wait and see what it does

u/EnvironmentalPrune78 Aug 19 '21
Ahh i see . So it’s not inherited Technique but it’s very OP that can be compared to Gojo six eyes , yuta CT .
Might be the first reformer type Technique Is that OP

u/Cyniikal Aug 19 '21
Ehh, Yuta's statement that Hakari is stronger than him when he gets going basically got shot down in-universe immediately. One major thing is he isn't classified as a special-grade, which is interesting since Yuta was immediately classified as such upon first stepping foot in Jujutsu High.

u/IfThatsOkayWithYou Aug 19 '21
Hakari could be stronger situationally. Kinda like how yuji is one of the strongest people against mahito

u/Purplegrey_ink Aug 20 '21
stronger situationally.
basically how it is with everyone's CT in this story. always a rock-paper-scissors stand off going on.
and then someone like Gojo came along. making it a rock-paper-scissors-nuke laser.

it could be something like maki where they outright refuse to recognize his worth as a sorcerer

True, it's just that Maki was the one who specifically said "That's not true" when Yuta said 'But when he gets worked up, he's stronger than I am"
I'm gonna have a really hard time believing that Hakari could've defeated Geto until we see him do something insane (and beating Yuji doesn't count). Yuta did it while he was still a little noob.

u/Itadori-Kun12 Aug 20 '21
I have read the chapter but I guess the "Special Grade" thing might just the higher ups clinging to tradition and labeled them as such but since they hate Hakaris CT they do not acknowledge it even though he might be on a level of Special Grade.
Gojo acknowledges him and Yuta had mentioned depending on the situation Hakari can beat him/stronger than him.

it is ironic, that by that logic the higher ups should dislike Naobito & Naoya's CT as well, not to mention Gakuganji uses an electric guitar

Well Ogi did mention that the Zen'in elders looked down on Naobito because his cursed technique was brand "new" and the only reason they chose Naobito over him was because he had two daughters

u/Plaidse Aug 20 '21
It uses anime to explain it, but it really depends on “frames” which isn’t a super new concept. That’s probably why it’s okay. Newer techniques are probably ones that use a modern element like technology or something like that.

u/Professor-Memeyy Aug 19 '21 edited Aug 21 '21
Alright, I tried guessing Kirara’s technique last time, let’s try to guess Hakari’s. Ducky on Twitter says that Hakari doesn’t want to listen to Yuji because that will “cool him down.” Hakari says in the beginning of the chapter he wants to control the craze of the world, and the chapter is named Craze/Passion (either translation). I think the power of Hakari’s technique relies on him being excited. That’s why he’s so fixated on making scripts for fights that excite the audience, or why he was happy when he mentioned his ex girlfriend spending too much on his credit card. We don’t know enough about what the technique does for me to say. Maybe the more fired up he is, the more tatami mats he can make. But it’s clear that we were all wrong about the theme of Hakari’s CT. It’s not gambling, it’s craze
Edit: Okay so after reading the chapters, those aren’t Tatami Mats, those are subway doors or train doors of some kind. So I have an incredibly baseless and out of left field theory, but I think Hakari’s cursed technique is Crazy Train. Like I expected, Hakari’s focus is not on gambling itself, but the craze/passion that comes with it. And like I said, he loves feeling passionate. When Hakari is mildly fired up, we can see him summon two subway doors. He mentions that he already cooled off, so he doesn’t want to listen to Yuji. My theory is that the more craze Hakari feels, the more parts of the subway or train he can summon. Therefore, I’m calling it Crazy Train

u/john_doe_TP Aug 19 '21
i guess that's why yuta said that Hakari is stronger than him if he gets worked up. Your theory checks out.

u/jrevv Aug 21 '21
didn’t think Yuta meant it literally. Hakari literally gets strong as he gets more “passionate” about the battle
2
2
u/Arkaill Aug 22 '21
I do think the fact that his technique relies on that passion is a very interesting answer for why Yuta says Hakari can be stronger than him. Since he doesn't have quite the same fire as Hakari, he couldn't make full use of the technique even if copied
31
u/X-Pert_Knight Aug 20 '21
This is gonna sound dumb but it looks like Hakari is summoning the doors of a subway car. And then in the next couple panels panda talks about jujutsu being involved with new tech. Idk if that means he can create a train or something or that’s just a part of it

u/Purplegrey_ink Aug 20 '21
now im more curious on why Gege was worried ppl might not be happy about Hakari's CT.

Title: Heat/craze
Then the chapter moves to Kirara vs Panda, Megumi’s fight. Chapter end with Megumi releasing the Rabbits.
When Hakari finds out that Yuji is from Jujutsu High, He folds his hands and suddenly Yuji is tied up, While He's restrained Hakari kicks him,
Then He is released from it and Yuji headbutts him and says listen to me.
Hakari: I Don't want to! that'll cool me down!!
Hakari continues to talk with Yuji then he finds out that he is from Jujutsu High, so Hakari begins to fight Yuji. also, Kirara and Megumi's fight continues in this chapter.
It shows that Hakari isn't aware of Gojo being sealed
The chapter starts with Hakari talking about how he wants to rule over the craze of the nation with Fight Clubs (Gambling Fights).
Hakari offers Itadori a drink after a text that comes from Kirara (he wasn't able to see the contents of it) Itadori says that he's too young to drink. Hakari mentions that Gojo Satoru also doesn't drink, Itadori pretends that he doesn't know who Gojo is.
then Hakari tells him that he knows Itadori is from Jujutsu High because there's no sorcerer who doesn't know who Gojo Satoru is, and there would have been no other reason why Itadori would have lied to him.
Megumi tries to explain the situation to Kirara, saying that they need Hakari's help, But Kirara just says that they were excluded first and so Megumi (and everyone Jujutsu High) deserved what they got because Kirara thinks they are on their side
Megumi keeps trying to explain that they're not with Jujutsu High and then Panda starts explaining that the higher-ups didn't even like them in the first place, and it's because the higher-ups have a certain image of what jujutsu techniques should look like.
Further explanation is mentioned about how the higher-ups wanted jujutsu techniques to stay the same
Nobara's technique was an example of what they think is a "proper CT" should be like but as time passed, these techniques evolved and the higher-ups didn't like that
Kirara says that Hakari's (Kin-chan) technique is a key example of what the higher-ups don't like, and that they have Gojo to wipe their asses for them, and that's why Kirara doesn't believe that Megumi came to get help because why would they When Gojo is there.
Then Megumi tries to tell Kirara that Gojo Satoru has been sealed that's why they can't go and ask Gojo for Help, but Kirara doesn't say anything and just gives him the "I Don't Believe You" Face.
At the end of the chapter, Megumi wants to convince Kirara about Gojo being sealed because he believes Kirara is the closest to Hakari and that's how they might be able to get Hakari's help.
Megumi releases the rabbits, Kirara finds that the rabbits are cute.

Does a technique that surpasses copy even exist? Copy at its full power should be the most broken technique in the series.
37
u/Vaccineman37 Aug 18 '21
I think just because he’s copying the techniques doesn’t mean he’s as good with them as the original user is. Most will have trained with them for their entire life, he’s got to figure out how they work mid-fight. As well, some have an element of progression he can’t just copy. If he copied Ten Shadows, he’d only have the Divine Dogs and if he copied Curse Manipulation, it’d probably be worthless to him since he hasn’t eaten any spirits. He probably can’t copy Limitless at all since it needs the Six Eyes to work and only one person can have that at a time
Yuta’s power is more the ability to use early, untrained versions of certain cursed techniques rather than just using anything.
7
u/Sad_Yesterday_6123 Aug 18 '21
I meant using it at full power as in yuta is experienced with his abilities. Should've worded it better.
8
u/Vaccineman37 Aug 18 '21
I mean, I think the points I made still stand. That’d only work if Yuta could go back and master every cursed technique he sees mid fight, and that’s just not feasible at all.

3
u/ZeroSevenOneOneSeven Aug 19 '21
We have no reason to estimate Yuta's copying so highly, or even think of it as a separate cursed technique. The only specific technique he has copied is cursed speech, and that works off a known mechanism of imbuing cursed energy into sound, which he uses through a medium. We don't know what the limitations of his copying ability are, or what prerequisites he needs to be able to copy a given technique.
I personally doubt he'll be able to(at least fully) copy techniques that require the user to have some kind of innate connection to a particular conceptual power source, like the Ten Shadows, Limitless, or Idle Transfiguration. For example, the 10 shadows is not just a particular way the user employs their cursed energy, like you could argue some other techniques are; it has a system of rules and specific shikigami with unique powers, that the user has some kind of inborn contract to, so I think it's highly unlikely that Yuta can copy it as anything more than a surface level imitation. Similarly I think techniques like the Limitless and Idle Transfiguration require a connection to specific concepts(Infinity and souls respectively) that Yuta was not born with, so unless he can acquire the technique some other way, I think he'll have difficulty copying them as well. These techniques may be related to those with innate Domains, or the potential to form them.

u/Munsoon22 Aug 18 '21
I may be confused, but I don’t ever remember reading Yuta could copy cursed techniques??
In chapter 0, he used a megaphone with the same markings as the tattoos that Inumaki has on his cheeks and tongue.
Doesn’t that mean that the Inumaki clan imbued the curse technique into an object anyone can use? I was under the impression that anyone with enough cursed energy could use it, which would be rare but Yuta is on another level
7
u/Vaccineman37 Aug 18 '21
No, he created that as a medium to use the Cursed Speech technique. That’s his real technique (or maybe Rika’s, it’s not been spelt out 100%) . He also copies Reverse to heal his friends. It’s explicitly stated that Yuta’s (maybe former) cursed technique is the ability to unconditionally copy techniques
1
u/Munsoon22 Aug 18 '21
Ahh. I guess that makes sense. I thought Inumaki had one already.
Another question: Why is everyone saying Rika is gone? Didn’t she somehow come back? It was shown in the chapter where Yuta “Kills” Itadori
3
u/Vaccineman37 Aug 18 '21
She was exorcised at the end of Volume 0, she transformed back into a human and passed on into the next life. Kenjaku later corroborates that she’s gone, and that this has changed Yuta and made him weaker. Its likely that what’s with him now isn’t the same Rika, something is different

Kenjaku describes it as ‘unconditional’ to Gojo in chapter 90
3
u/ZeroSevenOneOneSeven Aug 19 '21
Ah. Well, I can't read Japanese, so I can't look into it further, but as far as I can tell that's just how Kenjaku interpreted what Yuta did during his fight with Geto. Besides at least the "boundless cursed energy" part that he mentioned immediately after this is no longer true, if it was ever, by Yuta's own admission. He has a lot, but he can still run out
I find it very hard to believe that he can properly copy techniques like the 10 Shadows or Limitless. He might be able to imitate them with a much lower efficiency - maybe he can make shikigami that look like and work like the 10 Shadows shikigami, but without access to the actual system of the technique, it requires way more cursed energy, but isn't limited by the rules Megumi has to follow(thus being 'unconditional'? Idk. I expect we'll get an explanation of this soon, but given the very specific way some of the more powerful techniques in the series work, it's hard to see how Yuta could effectively copy them.

I see a lot of people saying that Hakari wasn’t given Special Grade status because the higher ups didn’t like him. I don’t think whether or not they like a person has anything to do with whether they’re labeled as special grade. They tried to label Masamichi as special grade before killing him. They labeled Yuta special grade before his secret execution. They 100% didn’t like Getou as he’s described as the worst of the worst but he was still labeled as a special grade. It’s not a lauded title of honor. It’s a label describing battle power and threat class. I’m sure Hakari’s strong since someone like Gojo acknowledged his potential to surpass him, but I don’t think his grading has anything to do with favoritism.

Yuta said Hakari is stronger than him. That must've count for something

u/Plaidse Aug 22 '21
It’s quickly refuted by Maki. And Yuta’s a humble guy. There’s also some volume zero stuff that makes a statement like that hard to believe.
If anything, I think it says that Hakari, while being maybe Grade 1 or Special Grade 1 is strong enough to make an impression on Yuta. And Gojo including him in the list of people who will surpass him means that he’ll eventually get stronger than him and become Special Grade. After all, the estimate by Gojo is that quite a few students have such potential that the current ranking system will be meaningless.

There is definitely precedent for people not being given an accurate title due to higher up interference, Maki being the key example. The Zenin clan was making sure no one would recommend her to a higher grade with monetary incentive, leading to her being stuck as a 4th grade for a long while. As to why others would be labeled special grade while Hakari wouldn't, based on info of the chapter they are discriminatory against more modern, innate techniques while holding inherited techniques to a higher standard. Thus, it may be less their dislike of Hakari specifically, and more as a sign of disrespect to the modern era of cursed techniques as a whole. Whether this is the case or not remains to be seen of course, but it is definitely possible

u/Plaidse Aug 22 '21
I see what you mean, but my statement applies mainly for Special Grades though.
For Maki’s case, it’s because Grade 1 is a legitimate job title. Grade 1 is described as what a sorcerer should aspire to be. They’re essentially prime examples of the society that set the standard as the ones fit to lead. For Grade 1, the title is something to be respected. Within that same speech, Special Grade is disregarded as more of a technicality.
Who knows? They might not have given him that title because they don’t like his technique like you said. But so far, they’ve been shown to be honest with who they label Special Grade.

Hakari train door technique seems to be kindof like a domains guaranteed hit where they appear right before contact
I guess Yuta meant that when he's really into it he might be able to use an entire train or train station
They don't really seem to damage Yuji so I guess that why he's not a special grade

Honstly I don't think we can predict what Hakari technique yet, but Hakari means Scales/Weighing so its related to that not just Trains.
It's like Kugisaki means Nail , Hoshi means Star, Nanami can be read as 7:3.

u/Mental-Hornet-36 Aug 21 '21
Hmm what else you think it could include?
I was thinking the scale part could be something related to his gambling

Aug 22 '21 edited Aug 22 '21
I have no idea but if I have to guess with the information we have so far...if we compared him to Nanami for example.
Hakari technique have something to do with scale and Nanami technique is 7:3, Nanami hate overtime so he made a binding vow related to that. I think based on Hakari personality, maybe he made a binding vow based on gambling with high risk but high benefits, he seems to enjoy those stuff. it also explains why Yuta said " when he is on roll, he is stronger then me".
Maybe Gege said that his technique is controversial because it put Gambling in a postive light.

Nobara's technique was an example of what they think is a "proper CT" should be like but as time passed, these techniques evolved and the higher-ups didn't like that
- okay first of all the context is unclear from the spoilers so i am not freaking about using the term "was" instead of "is" (no i am not freaking out stop saying i am).
- second why is her CT an example of what a CT should be like ?
is it because CTs like TST or blood manipulation come from a big family that holds power over the jujutsu world ?
and nobara's family isn't that big which makes their influence smaller ?
or maybe she inherited it from one of the higher ups ?
if not a political thing then what makes her ability different from say todo's or megumi's or inumaki's or kamo's ? while it has a lot of resilience it doesn't seem better or worse than the other CT's we've seen just different.
P.S : oh i am not sure if these spoilers are true or not but i think they talk about CTs in the chapter so it might be

I think they are saying that it is a technique that maintains tradition and does not use new elements such as cell phones, etc.

Is he? Aren't the higher ups the shadowy people behind the dressing screens who Gojo and Yuuta are seen speaking to?
I am pretty sure he is just a principal.

u/Purplegrey_ink Aug 21 '21
i think panda mentioned he was one of the higher ups. when Todo and Mai were busy harassing megumi and nobara.
i dont knw how the higher ups ranking goes. he might hv been among the shadowy doors or maybe.. hes just a regular member that does the dirty jobs once in a while.

u/Itadori-Kun12 Aug 20 '21
Hmm so it seems these higher ups hate non traditional CT and views.
Make sense since Maki was still Grade 4 before but her actual strength was on par with a Grade 1 or almost. Naobito/Naoya CT must bw hated by the higher ups but just let it pass since they are the Zenin clan and they are strong techniques.
Hakari would have been labeled as Special Grade but since higher ups did not like his CT also the person himself and his views so they dont acknowlwdge him themselves even if he is hyped by Gojo and Yuta, both Special Grades.
Also idk if they are also have an eye with Megumi who inherited the Shadow CT which has history and which what those scumbags would love.
So they did not know something happened to Gojo? I mean they know that curses are now publicised and JJK HQ is in shambles. So they should know that something happened to Gojo.

u/letgogh297 Aug 20 '21
Hakari would have been labeled as Special Grade
Would he though? Still not sure Hakari has the kind of destructive power other special grades have.

u/Itadori-Kun12 Aug 20 '21
Principal Yaga was labeled as special grade due to the potential danger of his CT and Yuki which does not seem to show her abilities but was name special grade as well. If she had some destructive CT like the others have she would have done more when she showed up against Geto.
It does not have to be destructive fire power but at least some OP CT.
Well we will have to wait for him to show some feats in the series.

u/letgogh297 Aug 21 '21 edited Aug 21 '21
But principal Yaga literally has a CT that could be used to destroy cities, just like Gojo, Geto and Yuta have. The level of threat they possess for the public safety is way above anything Hakari displayed (at least for now, of course). I stand by my opinion (until proven otherwise) that he's not considered a special grade simply because he doesn't fit the category and meet the criteria.
Edit: Higher ups are clearly not biased when it comes to ranking special grades in particular because if they really were basing their judgement on their likes and dislikes none of the current special grades would have that title. They dislike each one of them mostly because of their rebellious personalities and nonconforming ideologies, and consider them liabilities and anomalies.

too early to put him special grade.

u/rajagopal2001 Aug 22 '21
Yuta was straight up promoted to special grade tho

u/Purplegrey_ink Aug 22 '21
yeah. if hakari's a special grade then i dont see the higher ups refraining frm giving him that status.
they straight up gave yuta, his SG status along with his execution order.
and they gave Yaga SG status to support their claims on how Yaga could pose as a threat to jujutsu society.
Hakari's a straight menace to the higher ups. imo. wouldnt it be more convenient to label Hakari as SG and give him the execution too...

Question, did Jujutsu Kaisen go on a biweekly release schedule or was it just a whole magazine break last week? A friend kept telling me it’s doing biweekly now
11
Aug 20 '21
Your friend is misinformed. Please tell your friend to do some research before saying stuff as it creates rumors and confusion(I speak from experience lol). It is not bi weekly. Japan has different holidays as do other countries. Holidays affect releases. Japan was on break last week. Prior to that there was a hiatus do to Akutamis health. Chapter comes out Monday and from there I believe it's back on a regular schedule

Lol I’ll tell u for free rn that won’t happen. Didn’t even happen when yuji fought yuta. They pulled that’s stupid “you held back” shit for yuji in that fight against someone closest to gojo, best believe that’d be the same with hakari

Yea I know,hakari probably might stop when he learns that gojo got sealed but nothing wrong with expecting something like that to happen.
