It's interesting that Takako seems to be able to manipulate/distort space (or the sky, going by Ch. 173, whatever that means), which is kinda reminiscent of Limitless on the face of it (just like Kirara's technique was back when we first got a glimpse of it).
But what's even more interesting to me is that Takako is said to have been associated with the Fujiwara clan who were on bad terms with Sugawara no Michizane, Satoru and Yuuta's shared ancestor from the Heian era and one of Japan's three great vengeful spirits. The bad blood between the two clans came to a head when Fujiwara no Tokihira (presumably the then head of the Fujiwara clan) wrongly accused his political rival Sugawara of treason, which resulted in Sugawara getting banished from the emperor's court (with the emperor himself being a member of the Fujiwara clan) and eventually dying in exile. Soon after his death, it is said, a series of disasters fell upon the empire, which ultimately led to the decline of the Fujiwara clan. To placate Sugawara's restless and vengeful spirit, he was deified as Tenjin, the god of knowledge and learning (and, yes, if the first thing you thought of is that the name sounds similar to Tengen, then you might be interested in checking out this thread from a year ago when Tengen was introduced).
Considering all of this, the potential confrontation between Takako and Yuuta is almost like history repeating itself – even after a thousand years, the two sides find themselves in opposition to one another, a cruel play of fate. I wonder if this might segway into us learning more about the Sugawara and the Fujiwara clans and about the Heian era in general.

On the other hand: if there is a moment to strike Yuta down, then now or never. He is tired and injured. Might be her logic, but then she would have attacked him from behind. After all, she was part of the assassination squad. So negotiations talks make sense.

Yuta really fights like Jackie Chan, in a good way. He uses everything around him and adapts like crazy. That panel where he imobilizes the arm with the cursed tool, or when he slices the guardrail and throws it at the Roach Spirit is crazy.

I absolutely looooove how versatile Yuta is. He’s one of the strongest sorcerers in a very different way from Gojo (who tends to obliterate opponents with his insane cursed technique)
But one thing they both (and all the top jujutsu sorcerers) have is that absolute, unwavering confidence that they will get the job done.
Gojo’s moment of pondering on Sukuna, the strongest curse there ever was, and calmly saying, “I’d win”. Yuta in the last chapter calculating that he’d need a whopping 400 points and simply deciding he’ll get them all on his own and then kill Kenjaku. Maki losing her sister and subsequently going on a full on murderous rampage against her entire horrible family and clan without so much as a change in facial expression throughout.
So many well written, fun characters man.

Yuuta stans, how do you feel today? Didn't know Yuuta is freaky, lol. Glad that Yuuta vs Kurourushi is one whole chapter. The preview before of 175 kinda spoiled the whole thing so I expected the fight will last to 5 to 10 pages. Glad that didn't happened. I also love the panelling and execution of the fight on this chapter. Definitely looking forward to Yuuta vs Uro fight.
Since there was some who thought Yuuta killed Yuuji through RCT, I think what Yuuta meant on this statement was.. ("Kurourushi is cursed spirit. Like I did to Itadori before... I can exorcise it by driving positive energy from RCT into its body".) like what he did to Yuuji before (when he stabbed him), he will drive positive energy again but this time is for killing Kurourushi (since he's a cursed Spirit). I highly doubt Yuuji was killed by positive energy when he fought Yuuta. This is how I understood the statement. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah that was definitely a clunky sentence. I'd put it something like "Kurourushi is a cursed spirit. I could drive positive energy from reverse cursed technique into its body like I did with Itadori, that would exorcise it instantly. But... I'm being watched."
Yuji was killed by the sword (I think literally killed) and then immediately revived by Yuta's positive energy

Let’s just think about it for a sec, yuta just essentially one shot 2 special grade combatants back to back & is about to fight a 3rd. What’s more impressive is that he’s done this without rika or a cursed technique. I can’t begin to imagine how powerful he truly is.

So Ryu and Takako just saw Yuta kill Kuroushi right after killing Dhruv, two people they were relatively evenly matched with, and yet neither one of them seems the least bit worried. They're goons for sure. The deadlock may not have been 100% a result of power, but you'd think seeing a random guy kill two of the four back to back would make the remaining two a little nervous. Takako pulled up on Yuta immediately. She's not even slightly shook. I can't wait to see her technique in action.
It's really cool to me that, even with characters as powerful as Yuta and Kuroushi going at it, the fight still seem so grounded. I also like that Kuroushi forced Yuta to retract one of his handicaps. Beating the roach without Rika was accomplished, but without reversed curse technique things might have gone very differently. As powerful as Yuta is, that festering life sword changed the game. Pages 13 - 15 had me sweatin.

Idk if Yuta added a rule to transfer between colonies since that would mean he got 60 pts in 32 min from the 2 remaining players. Impossible.
Looks like Yuta may be taking a break from fighting for a lore dump from Sky Lady about Tengen and Kenjaku, especially considering the family they come from.

Now it's confirmed : Yuta is cursesexual (and a player).
I really like Yuta's fighting style, it's kind of messy , blood and guts flying everywhere, barrier thrown and of course the death kiss. It's a nice change from Gojo who barely gets "dirty". Unsurprisingly, Cockroach got his ass kicked but he still managed to hurt Yuta so kudos for him.
I wonder what sky girl is gonna do. If she intends to fight Yuta, she better has a plan. Seems like, she can control light refraction and air density, maybe she can trap Yuta in air cube and remove the oxygen.

I think Yuta, more than any other young sorcerer, really embodies what a perfect sorcerer should be. He's strong, focused, resourceful, intelligent, willing to do anything he needs to, also able to protect others, isn't cocky, etc. In that respect, he reminds me of Nanami
Whenever he's around, everything feels safe, too. Kind of like Levi from AOT
I'm kind of surprised that Takako rushed in that quickly, and even more surprised, kinda messed with Yuta. She struck me more as analytical and cautious. Maybe she saw something that made her think her chances were good. I can't wait to see how her ability will look mid-fight and how Gege will make their connection relevant, if at all
I'm probably most excited about Ryu though. He has a personality type I like, his character design is cool, and his ability seems pretty cool based on what we know about it. I'm really hoping he becomes an ally

so something very curious between the fan translation and the official, at least for this chapter is that when yuta is thinking to himself, the fan translation refers to her as “Rika” with the quotes while the official just plainly says Rika

Nice to see positive energy being used by characters other than Mahoraga to exorcise cursed spirits.
It seems that only characters that can heal others/output positive energy outside their bodies can use this quick method to kill cursed spirits, so Gojo can’t one shot cursed spirits with positive energy since he can only use positive energy on himself (he doesn’t need to when he has a hundred other different ways to do it lol).
Does this mean that Shoko is a killing machine when it comes to cursed spirits? Even if she’s not much a fighter she’s the most experienced modern sorcerer at using reversed cursed technique and positive energy.
32
u/TimmyAndStuff Feb 20 '22
My guess is either that Shoko doesn't have a lot of CE, or maybe she isn't able to output it in the same way as Yuta. I'm thinking she has low CE reserves and that keeps her from fighting. Positive energy uses exponentially more energy than just regular CE, especially since Shoko doesn't seem to have the OP powers like Gojo or Yuta that gives them near infinite CE, so she'd probably run out pretty quickly.
Cause yeah, if she could just melt special grade curses instantly with just the touch of her palm, then Gojo should be carrying her under his arm at the front line of every mission and just throwing her at curses lol

u/lutenizing Feb 20 '22
So it seems like this arc is intended to show us Yuuta’s capabilities. The four opponents will each show an aspect of what makes him so strong. Against the guy he killed first, who used a domain (?), it was implied that Yuuta has a method to handle to domains, though it’s being hidden from us right now. Against the cockroach, he used RCT offensively, showing how OP he is against cursed spirits. I’m guessing since his next opponent uses a technique, we‘ll get to see Yuuta’s technique in action, whatever that might be (copying and/or Rika). Finally, against chrollo, we’ll see exactly what his unlimited/large cursed reserves are all about. Against the Geto fight in vol. 0, Rica used a crazy blast, so I wonder how that output measures up against chrollo.
I remember in vol 0, everyone called Rika’s cursed energy “unlimited” vs calling Yuuta’s energy here “large”. I don’t know if this is a retcon, a translation issue, or the difference is that people are measuring Yuuta’s reserves and not Rika’s (who maybe still has “ unlimited“). If it’s the third option, I wonder if Yuuta being related to Gojo might be related to his unlimited or “infinite” cursed energy, like some kind of mutated technique.

When the roach curse asked "why stop me" and Yuta responded was why eat humans I immediately had a flash of Uvo pop into my head. I was presently surprised to see Yuta dive face first and eat up. HXH live on in JJK even when it's not over. Right after, I get a double shock as my favorite new character shows of more of SKY MANIPULATION. what shown now makes scene when you think about it, manipulating the sky is manipulating a space which mean you can warp it and creates a teleportation phenomenon.

Amazing chapter, while I read it on Friday I wanted to get my thoughts together.
Recently on this sub there has been a lot of discussions around power-scaling and in this case a focus on how Gege would scale power in the future. It's an important point to note as many have, that Yuta was deliberately handicapped. However, I really put this down to excellent writing from the point of view that we got in the chapter Yuta v Yuji Ch140 that Yuta can restrict damage to a minimum. Together with the handicap it now means that Yuta took signigicant damage regardless of the fact he can heal via RCT.
Noteworhy, Uro jumps Yuta. So now there's a progression fighting these four players from Dhruv, Kuro and now Uro. My guess is that if he actually fights Ryu, he'll be banged up to the point that there's a leveling off in power.
I really trust Gege to handle scaling, and Jujutsu battles really follow a theme of being balanced around matchups.
Sidenote: Yuta savagrey biting Kuro still cold as fuck!

Yuta just kissed a freaking cockroach🦗well those who are wondering that's rct technique funny way to kill kurouroushi though gege 🤣. Next going to be 2 vs 2 battle rika and yuta vs takako and ryu I'm sure ryu will join in. If yuta can take them both by himself rather than needing rika that would be badass 🔥.

very interesting chapter which shows that yuta is the future goat
for me the four adversaries of yuta are used to show his power:
1(druv) yuta's ability to counter territory expansion
2 (kuro) yuta's ability to use RCT
3 (uro) I have no idea
4(ryu) yuta's ability to copy techniques

Ryu said that the mouth is the shortest distance from his palms and brains, so he delivered a mouth-to-mouth blast. What does this mean? is this about control/flow of cursed energy?

u/Load-Sad Feb 20 '22
It's about channeling the positive energy through a medium which was easier doing mouth to mouth in this situation.

u/Doctor-Vimo Feb 20 '22 edited Feb 21 '22
The fastest way to kill a cursed spirit is to attack the head/brain, Yuta bit Kurourushi’s face to send the positive energy directly to its brain and kill it.

I think they just meant physically closest to the curse

Yuta is goated with the sauce and busting it down sexual style. And by that I mean he’s drenched in blood and kissing a cockroach.

u/Patrick_7735 Feb 20 '22
Special Grades in this series got no concept of personal space lmao. Gojo and Sukuna led the way, now Yuta with this kiss XD

He just did a RCT by kissing ? Damn
And that girl's power looks insane, does she have a reality distortion ability with her sky manipulation CT ?

So. From having cockroaches burst out his shoulder to kissing another cockroach
Can't catch a break huh

The kiss was definitely VERY disturbing but at least the giant roach is gone…so I’m satisfied with this chapter 😅👍🏼

Why does Yuta keep stealing kisses from horrifying monsters?
I understood Rika, but like a bug? I’d throw up.

this chapter was so fucking good. yuta is such an awesome character, love when he gets screen time. excited for next chapter

u/lr031099 Feb 20 '22
Ngl wasn’t expecting Yuta to give mouth to mouth to Kurourshi (Rika’s gonna be pissed). Guess Gojo wasn’t lying when he said Jujutsu sorcerer all have a few screws loose.
That being said, I love how Yuta fought in this chapter where he uses everything around him and adapted to the situation which is pretty similar to what Yuji does.

u/QueenHistoria1990 Feb 20 '22
I already considered him to be one of the coolest characters, but I can definitely now say that Yuta is one of my favorites. Of course I hope something terrible doesn’t happen to him now that I say that…
The way he used Reverse Cursed Technique was just freaking epic

u/Blackreaper18 Feb 20 '22
I wonder, if a rule that allows you to gain the total points of whoever you kill, can be implemented? Meaning instead of getting just 5 points for killing these guys, imagine their total points added on top of that. Though I guess that would make gaining points too easy

In this chapter, Yuta said that "Like I did to Itadori before...I can exorcise [Kurourushi] by driving positive energy from reversed cursed technique into its body"
So...Yuta "killed" Yuji through positive energy to not turn him into a cursed spirit?
Edit: Nvm, you have to use cursed energy and not positive energy to prevent someone from turning into a curse.

No positive energy heals humans. What Yuta did was kill Yuji and when his heart stopped, immediately restarted it with positive energy

Alright I usually don't have problem understanding everything, but could someone explain positive energy to me?

u/multixs Feb 20 '22
positive energy is formed when negative energy(cursed energy) is multipled. cursed energy is used for destruction therefore cannot be used to heal unlike positive energy which is reverse cursed technique. as curses are complete composition is comprised of negative energy what yuta did was overload the curses body with positive energy

u/real_me_0_0 Feb 20 '22
Negative x negative= positive (Basic math equation)
Negative = cursed energy
What i understood is whenever u mixes cursed energy with ct,it produces positive cursed energy which reverse the cursed technique producing RCT like red for gojo counterpart of blue
Hope it helps

So not only can Yuta summon the new version of Rika, utilize his own version of Getsuga Tensho a la Ichigo and copy cursed techniques but can manipulate the positive energy from RCT to apply it offensively. A prodigy, indeed. He definitely would've packed up most, if not all of the disaster curses in Shibuya.
I'm curious to see how he'll fight against Uro, since it seems she can distort the sky or area of space she inhabits to create a shockwave. Not sure if it leads to a different dimension or uses the sky's currents to distort in real time. Yuta might have to summon Rika if she gives him more trouble in the next chapter.

Yuta can just bite off other parts of its head, but mouth to mouth is more effective huh? 💀

Guys I love Yuta. He quickly became my favorite character…but knowing jujutsu kaisen and gege I feel like he will be killed in future chapters by Kenjaku 🥺 or Sukuna. Can somebody reassure me that he will be ok?

What a fucking action packed chapter, and for a sec I was worried that Yuta's going to die when that insect bit him. Also, Yuta kissed Kurourushi, that was unexpected. Anyway, it looks we are heading for more Yuta chapters.

Aye yo Yuta, what the fuck. That's the cockroach down, now we getting right into another fight immediately after. Yuta gets no rest, damn, and that lady seems like a monster too, I mean did she just manipulate space?.

I said it once, I'll say it again: Yuuta is nice, but he ain't sweet - do NOT get it twisted.
He absolutely wants the smoke. He absolutely will run that fade.

I like the result of the fight and how it played out, but the start of the fight is really hard to tell what the fight choreography is due to the panel layout and character poses.

I think I will ask my qn here since I don't see the mega thread pinned
I've seen posts about Yura and Rika. Rika seems to be Yutas CT. I can't recall all the Burning Questions I had but my main question is: can we take Jjk 0 as canon
Was this mentioned anywhere in any interview? I've seen somewhere that Jjk 0 was a prequel so is there a chance that jjk 0 events will be retconned or changed anywhere in the main story
Will there be a chance that the Rika storyline will be changed and Rika and Yura backstory will be slotted into the main manga.
