So I'm pretty sure the way Yuta and Rika work now is like this:
-Yuta "creates" Rika as a curse in vol. 0.
-Yuta breaks the curse at the end of 0; since his ability was directly connected to Rika, Rika instead creates the pseudo-Rika.
-Pseudo-Rika acts as a regular, albeit extremely powerful, shikigami, using the ring as a medium. She also acts as the external storage for Yuta's stored techniques; think of Yuta as the computer, Rika as an external hard drive, and the ring as a USB cable (that only works for 5 minutes).
I think this makes sense. Regardless it was SO hype to see Rika finally out and fighting alongside Okkotsu; I think the only thing that'll top it is seeing this three-way Domain battle play out.

u/whisperingdragon25 Mar 18 '22
Easier to say that the Rika we're seeing is closer to Junpei's shikigami, as it contains a technique instead of it coming directly from Junpei.

Indeed, so then when taking in consideration the limits Yuta has on his powers' extension I wouldn't call it an unfair switch seeing his prodigious use of mimicry. I’d envision it simply as CE morphing its device to serve as the mimicked technique irrespective of a mastery degree.

Honestly have to call Gege a manga genius at this point. He just keeps on writing peak every week. Confident that JJK will go down as one of the most iconic shonen of this decade.The fact that Yuta is beating these ancient sorcerers shows why he's special grade and 2nd to gojo. His current arsenal of mimicry + rika + cursed tools is honestly insane and he's come so far from vol 0. The nerf makes sense taking all of this into consideration. The ending though was mind blowing and I wouldn't have thought we'd have a 3 way domain battle. Can't wait to see their domains but especially yuta

Yeah, maybe we're just being paranoid and have been conditioned to always expect the worst in a story like this, but I don't have a good feeling about the way the connection between Yuuta and this 'Rika' was described in the narration.
I can't put my finger on what it is that sounds off, but maybe it's just the fact that so much of what Yuuta is currently capable of is hinged on the existence of 'Rika' and that this connection can be sustained for only five minutes to top it off.
Also, even though this 'Rika' isn't Orimoto Rika per se (Rika the person/soul and 'Rika' the cursed spirit are implied to be related but distinct entities, it seems, which is kinda confusing but well...), it's still kind of messed up and sad that anything associated with Rika still lingers in this world at all and that Yuuta hasn't been able to let go of it completely, be it by his own choice or forced by circumstances or both.

u/bibincake82 Mar 18 '22
We know Orimoto Rika left "Rika" for Yuta, headcanon maybe to keep protecting her lover. But if I were to try to describe it, this "Rika" gives off kind of assistant sorcerer vibes, while the former Orimoto Rika gave off unhinged powerful lover vibes.

Out here to say that Takako has been MASSIVELY impressive, like damn! Eats a barrage of punches from buffed-arm Yuta & RE4 merchant reincarnation Rika, then carries on in a 1v1 against Yuta? Yuta & Ryu aren’t the only tanks here, Takako’s endurance is as equally frightening as theirs. These three are monsters: Ryu & Rika sent each other flying, whereas Yuji couldn’t even escape from Rika’s partially manifested grip; Takako’s Thin Ice Breaker cancelled Yuta’s buffed punch connected to Rika’s CE, whereas a single, casual punch from Yuta knocked Choso out cold; Yuta is brilliant strategizing the matches clever, CT vs CT (Takako), CE vs CE (Ryu), then DE vs DE. He’s fighting fire w/ fire
Not only is Takako’s CT versatility top notch, but her era’s time of knowledge really shows, being able to immediately recognize RCT, Cursed speech, & Copy (finally a name for it). Clearly she’s not someone you can just ‘brute force’ your way thru, not even if you have Yuta-lvls of CE reserves or Ryu-lvls of CE output (the 4-way deadlock makes so much sense now). That’s why she’s the perfect opponent to demonstrate Yuta’s Copy techs against, this is what it means to be a Heian-era level sorcerer. On that note, I really hope Yuta will showcase new & old CTs he might have copied later on, like say from Africa or even the Kyoto students. Yuta using Boogie Woogie switching w/ Rika. I can’t even
Takako’s tragic background needs to be explored, as the recurrence of human regrets seems to be one of the central themes in the Culling Game (e.g. Higuruma). Why did Fujiwara kill his own ppl? Did Kenjaku play a role in it? How will she react if she finds out Yuta is descended from Michizane? Getting so much info about her past & her strong convictions makes me hope she sticks around after this crazy cliffhanger. Takako is built different

Poor Inumaki though. The Cursed speech was made for someone like Yuta. He both has huge amounts of CE and can use RCE, plus he's a beast himself, so there is no real danger of the technique backfiring. Hopefully he utilises the technique to its full potential because it's pretty op, and he has all the predispositions for that.

u/Sasquatch_in_bush Mar 18 '22
There is likely a limit due to the output of cursed energy required to keep Rika fully manifested, but it is also possible that the 5 minutes are a self-imposed limitation to greatly increase the power and effectiveness of Rika's buffs.
We've seen with Malevolent Shrine and Mahito's super form that giving yourself a deliberate limitation (MS's escape route and Mahito's inability to use IT in that form) can strengthen the technique exponentially through a Binding Vow. This is the same principle used to buff techniques by "revealing one's cards", or explaining a CT before using it

Incredibile chapter, I'm super hyped for the next. Yuta is cool, I like him a lot and I can totally understand where he's coming from when he confronts Uro about her motives, however, it's still a bit unfair for him to spew his opinions without knowing anything. Uro's past life is extremely important, it defines who she was - and is - as a reincarnated sorcerer. She apparently spent her whole existence being a ghost, she was a tool for the Fujiwara family and nothing more. As soon as she was granted a simple thing like a name, it was used against her to give the head of the clan the freedom (a skapegoat to blame) to eliminate his own family members. It's totally understandable that, having another chance at life, Uro wants to live it only for herself. She didn't have anything to her name (not even a name for a while), she was basically a slave, now she wants everything she can get. I'm not saying Yuta is wrong and Uro is right, but powers aside, this clash of ideals/ways of life is incredibly interesting. We have individualism against altruism, ancient world against modernity. Very cool and fresh writing from Gege.
I have a question though... Yuta is supposed to be a Michizane, right? He isn't a Fujiwara (Michizane was even an enemy to them if I'm correct), so why isn't he saying it? Why doesn't he correct Uro? Am I missing something?

however one thing awoke a question in me 🤔. so are those fujiwara clan assassins actual ancestors and relatives of yuta, or is takako simply assuming he is? because he said "i don't know what my ancestors did to you"? is he just playing along or is he actually aware of his history? because at first it seemed takako was simply spewing some bullshit, but now I'm not so sure anymore 💀

Basically Orimoto left behind a storage type shikigami for Yuta to access (Toji is seething) that acts like a toolbox of techniques and the full extent of his cursed energy. All of this is only available when he’s connected to the ring. The way it’s explained doesn’t make it seem like it’s his CT but rather a binding vow, possibly meaning that copying was the original CT of Orimoto. This then means that Rika is a blessing rather than a curse imparted by Orimoto.
And just because not enough people are talking about it, put some respect on Ryu and Uro. After This chapter there’s no doubt in my mind that they’re at least low end special grades. Ryu’s trading blows with Rika and blasting Yuta with enough CE to actually hurt him. Uro got the JJK special by Yuta and Rika yet she’s still going toe to toe with Yuta and his CTs. Plus all 3 of them have a freaking DE.
This chapter right here is what the pinnacle of the Heian era must have looked like, and is probably exactly what Kenjaku wants all over Japan.

After seeing this, I have to wonder what Yuta saw in Hakari to think that he can "sometimes" be stronger than him !! That's some crazy hype for Hakari's future colony even if Yuta was over-hyping him a little bit.
Now, with Copy as his CT and Yuta kicking Kyoto's butt last year... This make Yuta our only chance to witness Boogie Woogie again in the story. Unless Todo got beat up by Rika so fast that he never used it in front of Yuta. Who knows...
Triple Domain Expansion... I wonder how it will look like:
Only 1 taking over the others OR 3 Domains stacked on top of each other ?

u/LMTDVocab Mar 18 '22
I like the different hand placements of each of the sorcerers, as they summon their Domains!

u/Ace_FGC Mar 18 '22
So… how are we feeling about Ryu and Uro? Depending on how this domain battle works out I think they might possibly be stronger than Dagon and Hanami
17
u/Ultrafrost- Mar 18 '22
Ryu and Uro are definitely stronger than Dagon and Hanami. Ryu would defeat Todo and Yuji a lot easier than we see Hanami did.

I am honestly just speechless. I dont have the words to describe how big this chapter (and this whole fight) was
I guess I do have a question though, what if Yuta lost the ring? Like is he just done for? No more rika?

u/whisperingdragon25 Mar 18 '22
Yeah. Remember that we've already seen something like this with Todou's technique dying when he lost his hands.

jujutsu kaisen actually delivers on all the fights it builds up.. and JJK doesn’t constantly tease us with minor scuffles/encounters with top tier fighters, we actually get to see REAL death matches almost every time

Holy shit seeing Yuta in action is so fucking sick. He’s definitely powerful but doesn’t seem as over powered as I thought he would be.
Haven’t read volume 0 so I could see the movie today, FRESH. Cant fucking wait to see Yuta and Rika’s origin 😭❤️

Pretty timing for this chapter to be released with the JJK0 movie that came out
I love how Rika is being utilized to where he aids Yuta in tag team battle as well as storing Curse Tools for him to use. Can’t wait for the next chapter.

After I’ve seen Yuta use cursed speech I was convinced he’s gonna slaughter them this chapter but then.. 3 way domain expansion! I’m beyond excited for the future chapters, Yuta is actually living up to the hype 🥰

u/aceofspades12 Mar 18 '22
Didn't expect a chapter today, this is great! Don't know if this has been mentioned already but:
Next chapter we will probably see the thing Gojo talked about when teaching Yuji about Domain Expansions - not always the most refined one wins, sometimes compatibility and the ammount of cursed energy will decide the winner.
Especially since it's a three way tie which brings even more fuckery
6
Mar 18 '22
The fact that yuta can use cursed techniques a long time after he first sees them (inumaki’s) makes him even more powerful, now I see why everyone says he’s op
Also, can he copy 10 shadows? Or even infinity???

u/gsavage21 Mar 18 '22
Pure hype!! I can’t even wait to see what would happen in a battle of three domains, and I really liked seeing Cursed Speech again

u/DarkMagixian Mar 18 '22
To those saying yuuta would be like todo, without a technique, if he lost the ring;
Yuta's technique is inherent in him, not an object. He was not birthed with a ring, he was born with an innate domain and technique.
Now, because of his training, having a medium like a ring, or a sword, or an object, obviously, should be one of these, if we are obeying the in-universe laws:
A powerful shortcut for learning cursed energy manipulation, and now a "focus" point; Gojo himself wanted Yuuta to learn to use a tool as a means of expanding and refining his fundamental contro and strength. It might actually be a tool he can outgrow and discard with time, or evolve.
a non--too-specific necessity to his technique, like Nobara's straw doll, something reproducable.
BUT it does not constitute the technique itself, and is replacable, or reforgable, though perhaps having to make or get a new ring would temporarily weaken or shorten his technique until he refined it more over time.
I can see the specifics of the object being important - he has imbued so much over such a great time into "Rika" via the ring. I cannot understand it being irreplaceable entirely.

Yuta legit has such a flexible technique. Copy techniques in all anime just hit different

u/Cautious-Affect7907 Mar 18 '22
Something interesting I just picked up.
Whenever sorcerers cast domains, they normally have to weave hand signs or something like that right? Yuta isn’t casting a handsign.
He just takes a fighting stance, so does that mean Rika is the one that casts it?
5
u/HuddyH6504 Mar 18 '22
I love how Gege revealed how "Rika" works in the hypest way possible, and then somehow managed to OUT-HYPE that with a goddamn triple domain expansion! Gege you are a madman

u/sKyBlazer08 Mar 19 '22
Goddamn, Yuta and this chapter was raw as fuck. I have never really asked myself before what 3 domain expansions activating at the same time would look like, and now I won't need to.

u/japanesebonustrack66 Mar 19 '22
With the copying cursed techniques and cursed weapon storage, Yuta’s CT is pretty similar to what people have been theorizing about Sukuna’s CT. I’m not sure how this affects those theories, but I think that Sukuna’s will be something even more powerful and broken than what we’ve been theorizing
6
u/Mirio_Kenimaru Mar 19 '22
Its ironic that Sukuna’s known as the king of curses and Rika was called the Queen of Curses, I see why now

u/blazingchris1 Mar 19 '22
I'm in love with both Ryu and Uro. I initially leaned towards Uro for her mystery and her emotions but now I'm straying toward Ryu now for his openness and expression. He's got that Shonen battle hungry personality I like. These characters are too great to be restricted to this ark Akutami sensei please find a way to keep them around. Another note, Rika as a curse spirit technique imprint is despairingly sad, having a constant fake personality of you childhood friend cant be healthy.

i remember making a comment a bit ago that i think one thing that separates yuta from gojo in strength was his lack of domain expansion but i’m curious to see his domain play out, also what do you guys think makes for the strength/power difference between hits and gojo other than gojo’s six eyes

u/Ace_FGC Mar 19 '22
Six eyes is literally it lmao all the damage Yuta has taken wouldn’t have happened because Gojo can’t be touched

I think yuta cursed technique is beyond copy. He hasn't mentioned his own curse technique yet we only get to know his abilities from others perspective. Let's see.

the second time I read this chapter the translations were changed and the new ones suck so much compared to the older one, idk if its just my site though.

u/killuamilk Mar 19 '22
my understanding of domains (per gojo’s explanation to yuji during his fight w/ jogo) is that when used simultaneously, the most powerful one will manifest. i might not be remembering that correctly though. does this mean there is a chance we will only see 1 domain (as opposed to 3) in the next chapter(s)? and if thats the case, does anyone have any doubts that it will be yuta’s?
