Not believing that people read leaks cuz the main translation is bad is kinda crazy considering John werry has given translations so bad it’s literal misinformation happening every couple chapters or so

The most annoying thing about jjk is people not caring about spoilers at all. When gojo died, it was just on my tiktok without any spoiler warning or anything.

Can’t lie agree with most the points and the only thing I really have to say is the reason there’s no hype for official release is because tcb translations tend to be infinitely better to a comical degree to where you would start to think the official is the fan translation and so the hype of a official chapter release instead goes to when the tcb scanlations drop because they seem to be more accurate half the time.

It's a shame that watching this will put JJK in my YT algorithm and sure enough some ass will put an insane unavoidable thumbnail right on my homepage.

JJK leak culture makes One Piece and Naruto leaks look like Grade 3 sorcerors with how crazy and prematurely it pops off

Honestly fair video but I just want to say that Yuji, throughout the course of the manga, has become one of my favorite main characters. He tries so hard and sometimes he's so out of his depth that I can't help but to root for him and want him to succeed, which I think is really hard for a main character to do

I completely agree about the annoyance of leaking. I love getting big reveals by waiting for the actual weekly release, but now I just wake up everyday to the entire chapter summarised by people on twitter and kills any hype for me on the next chapter

Leaks are honestly a very prominent issue with JJK, people are a literally addicted to this story to the point in which they are doing anything they can just to see it early. The official translations have their issues, sometimes they do well but other times they are absolutely disappointing. Because I want a better understanding of the story, I'll often read the official and the fan translations specially with all the complexities that Gege brings to his story.

Wednesday/Thursdays nights are the best nights cuz of the leaks lol and it comes from one dude 🤷🏻‍♂️ love it.

Honestly folks really put wayyyy to much on Gojo returning as some sort of bad thing or saying that it trivializes other characters. Hearing the same argument from different people can get a little stale.

I don't personally mind having jjk leaked, but this is the first time I've encountered anything where it's impossible to avoid leaks.

Totally agree with the leak culture, it’s so bad that people leak everywhere outside of reddit or twitter or whatever… I read leaks, early translation and official translation which helps me understand better the original meaning and intent. The John werry translations for viz have been consistently wrong, and he’s even had to fix his mistakes later on down the line so I learned I can’t trust them. This is backed by many Japanese native speakers. Also re the rotation of characters and how it feels weird, I think it was the plan all along for JJK high. Each chapter shows this wasn’t randomly put together by the team, everyone is strategic in the battle against Sukuna to the point that people like yuji didn’t even know the whole plan cause he could ruin it by his soul link with Sukuna, and him possibly reading his thoughts. My opinion, they’re trying to overwhelm Sukuna with as many binding vows as possible to make him mess up on his own, and we’ve yet to see what happens when you mess up a binding vow but Kenny suggests it’s catastrophic consequences… any maybe that’s why the goat is back. All part of a bigger plan, which goes back to your idea of reading it all together might be better and clearer what is happening. Thanks for this video btw

I woke up scrolled a vid on KZfaq and i got hit with lile four spoilers i didn't even know the spoilers were not oit yet

Good to see another upload from you. I read the JJK chapter the other day and I’m glad to see Yuji and Todo teaming up against Sukuna. They gave him the work and it’s possible that we’re gonna see the return of another known character that gave Sukuna the work. Also, I’m glad I don’t follow any of the leaks cuz I read it whenever I see it’s dropped and don’t stay online to know what’s going on.

As for the official release, John Werry has done this to himself, at least somewhat. That guy is an absolute clown. NIce vid tho. You are the voice to hear at fkn midnight

Missed you man, youre very likely my favorite anime youtuber your video format if amazing and are super enjoyable.

I agree the leaks ruin the experience of reading the series imo, But to say the translations arent a huge chunk of the issue is funny. That man john werry is taking the series up through there with the officials ngl. I personally need to follow 3 different translators and compare them to officials just to get a solid understanding on whats going on, The series is hard to translate for even native speakers of the language, you have to really care about it and almost be gege himself lol

This might sound weird but it’s way different for me usually when the leaks come out the next 2 days the official chapters come out and I still get hyped about it and I will admit the leaks do get annoying from time to time

I agree that if it is gojo it does cheapen what everyone else’s role, but that’s only if he comes back to finish Sukuna off. If it is Gojo and he comes back in a supporting role via a binding vow that severely nerfs him but makes him helpful in the fight then I think it can be done well.

Thoughts on chapter 261?

Can i know which mic you use ?

Leaks are awful. The leaker posts unaccurate translations and hype up things that are just wrong giving people the worst interpretations of the story.

I agree with your point. The leaks and their inaccuracy hurts the overall story. You got people who don’t even know what the story is about at this point and creating whole narratives based on mistranslations. Impactful moments are ruined by 4 different translations. All of this sucks because i think the story is still good when you remove the weekly leak circus.

I feel exactly the same. Imo jjk is at its best when you can binge it. The pacing feels kinda wonky on a weekly basid, and leaks make it very hard for me to stay off JJK long enough. They are impossible to avoid, so Ive just resigned myself to stay up to date until the story ends.

What I do is not enter twitter from tuesday afternoon until the chapters (JJK, OP) release on TCB. Leak culture is awful, I wish this series could have what jump+ series have...

im forced to see em too because its everywhere and it started during the gojo vs sukuna battle because i just wanted to see everyone’s thoughts weekly and then the algorithm put me in the leak hell

Such a beautiful thumbnail 🥹

The fact that someone is finally talking about the leaking problem❤ Good on you Bro

I completely agree, I only look at leaks when they come out just to avoid being spoiled by a random KZfaq thumbnail

Damn I wish you waited a couple days to upload this. The yuta plot twist was crazy. Would have loved to hear your reaction

I can't complain about leaks cuz the leaks aren't doing anything big like if the story is a great mystery thriller type and someone leaks something about it then it spoils the fun But here in this bland series filled with fights and predictable fights at that there's nothing to be spoiled atleast it doesn't affect my enjoyment reading jjk as I'm just reading it for action (there's nothing else in the series anyway) but I'm enjoying the action so when I see some leaks it hypes me up sometimes

I'm 100% with you on the insufferable leak culture of JJK. I HAAAAATE the quality of the leaks but I'm absolutely forced to read them because if I don't I'll get spoiled. Thing that scares me now is that the guy that is at the forefront of the JJK leaks and is by far the biggest account doing it is now showing strong interest in Kagurabachi, my fear is that once he's done with JJK he'll move on to Kagurabachi next, and with its current popularity and everyone looking to it as shonen jumps next big thing, it could lead to it becoming the next JJK in the leak culture regard

Leaks have been happening for manga releases for forever however I’ve never seen it be as bad as it is with JJK.

Yeah I agree about the leaks. I HATE creators are pushing leaks on video titles and thumbnails on their videos. So now you don’t even have to follow or click on the actual video. You’ll just have leaks showing up on your feed. All for the clicks and views. I hope it’s worth it for them.

You were so spot on about that ghost not being him but still carrying his essence, or "Monstrosity"

The only series I read scans for is One Piece and wait for official release for everything else. But yeah, the leaks are still really bad all around, especially for this latest chapter and anytime any big turn of events happen or something. Like, I can't imagine being an anime only fan these days without losing my sanity for a lot of series, which is sad when people spoil everything so blatantly.

Man I read TCB an later check Viz. I do this as u said mainly cuz of translations. But literally 2 days before I need to log off Twitter and lately Im getting spoiled on fking YT main page, like in titles and minis. This is getting out of hand, its not even small guys its now even the main creators around JJK

For me ive become accustomed to leaks from reading one piece all my life i jist cant wait to know what happens in the next chapter when its a story i like.if someone leaked the true ending to one piece i would spoil myself and then still read it

I understand why people dont not want to read the leaks in the past I also tried to avoid them, so I could experience the story in the intended way, but the whole time I just felt like I was tricking myself because id be waiting for something to come out even though its kind of out already I also realised thats the same reason as for why I read the manga instead of waiting for another season of the anime

If you actually think the official translation is done well then lmao you are not reading the same story as we are. There's entire elements that have been changed in the official version because the translator doesn't research or even reads the story, he just translates and is done for the day.

there's things happening when the official drops, people going feral about the mistranslations

I never wanted to read leaks for any manga, but its so hard to be on the internet and NOT read leaks just to simply get ahead of the crowd. I rather see the raws and rough translations for myself FIRST before I get spoiled from some KZfaq thumbnail. It fucking sucks, but its just the way it is.

one more hour until the 261 leaks

"Can not go on twitter/tik tok" It has been a blessing in disguise for me ngl

DO NOT READ THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATION

I think the apparition might be related to Yaga and Gakuganji's story earlier on. Yaga passed on the secret behind his technique to Gakuganji back then and I think that'll be relevant. But I don't think "that character" will return in anywhere near the same capacity of ability and will serve as a distraction in that moment for Yuji to do his thing. Fully agreed with you on the leaker culture for JJK though. It is awful. I gave up eventually because I couldn't avoid spoilers entirely and started reading the fan scans. I still do my best to avoid the leaks but it's too difficult to 100% of the time. You'll be scrolling Twitter and get hit with a spoiler. At the very least I still make sure I read the officials every Sunday. I was actually celebrating when one of the prominent leakers got busted because One Piece and JJK have been getting leaked like 5 days early.

I do read leaks every time they come out, but I also read them on the Shonen Jump app every time they are released and I buy the physical copies of the manga :) I honestly perfer the tcb translations but i want to support Gege in any way I can and I just love JJK lol

I love spoiler so I love leaks but I still read the official translation every release and fanlations. I do feel bad for the people that dont want leaks or spoilers.The official translation confuses me regularly and almost everytime i read the fanlation it clears stuff up instantly.

the only reason I've been spoiled by leaks is when I follow groups on facebook and they come in the form of memes, I have no twitter so I can't relate to your issue, so my take against these leaks is basically just log off and touch grass while the new chapter is up, son, lmao

It's a good thing that you added timestamps, mate. I never expected 5 mins. of leaks rant after assuring everyone you won't ride the high horse for it. 😅 But I guess it's a fitting preface to why you're really disappointed after all, which is why I clicked...

Leaks are why I made alt accounts that don't touch anime/manga content at all. Once it's Wednesday, I'm using them until after I read the chapter on Thursday/Friday. It's a pain but it's worked so far. 😅

instead of myamura leaking the raws with inaccurate translations, it would be better to just wait for the official fan translations and compare it to the officials once they do come out. That way we get 2 translations since John Werry does suck

Great video but why the unnecessary editing?

Dandadan's latest chapter is heartbreaking.

Rare Sufferents L. Seriously man the official translation is downright criminal.

I was an anime only person with JJK up until towards the end of season 2. The leaks were getting out of control and I was getting major spoilers. Plus, I was enjoying the story and wanted to get further. I didn't want to wait. I'm now caught up and still getting spoiled on the next chapter. Why can't people at least put a fucking spoiler warning? This last arc with Sukuna has been one of the weakest parts of the story for me, although I still like it somewhat. The most recent chapter was pretty exciting. The chapter before would have been more hype for me, but I was spoiled and didn't get to have that experience of turning the page and being surprised. It reminds me of watching a movie or show with my dad, who likes to constantly say minor (and occasionally major) spoilers as we're watching, or he'll say something that's vague, but still spoils things a bit.

idk man how you can still read jjk and enjoy it and say it's good. It ain't been cooking for me for a long time

I will for sure say that reading weekly the fight with Sukuna began to feel really repetitive. It sort of became a cycle of “new opponent enters the fight, does some impressive damage to Sukuna, Sukuna hates on Yuji, and then cleaves the new character.” And that got very frustrating week after week. Maybe a binge read would change that, hopefully.

Also my biggest fear is that gege never acknowledges plot points and questions we still don’t have answers for before the series ends and he’ll be exposed as someone who just makes good action manga. Which would be fine but I feel like half his base will feel some type of way about it.

I don’t thin gojo is coming back, sukuna is definitely tripping

Leaks are awful in terms of money that the actual writer will get is low but reading it illegally is the same thing the reason why I don’t hate leaks is bc when I read em on twitter on Mya page it’s like a mini community coming together the tension you get when each page is leaked one at a time and going through the comments seeing everyone’s reactions and memes is an exciting experience.

i really like the jjk final fight.. its a all or nothing gamble and we get to see what everyone can do and how they are forced to work together but still would rather not fight sukuna

I had nothing against gojo returning back, but now really isn't the time After such a long fight and sukuna reaching his end. We don't need gojos return. Though lets see what gege is cooking

holy shit thank fuck you say it like that!! i feel so alone with this on the subreddits for example :)

I’ve never saw leaks so bad in my life I’ve been doing this for almost two decades and I can tell you I’ve never seen a leaking problem as bad with anything else I don’t like looking at leaks but I’ve gave up on trying to not look at them because I’ll just get spoiled if I don’t and I hate that

I actually really want to see gojo back. His death felt too soon.

Balam Industries sponsored field trip.

leaks are hype

I support the manga by buying the physical volumes I don’t have read it on the sj app with shit translation

John Werry has ruined my hype for any official translations. I just stick to the twitter translations instead (Shoutout to Myamura)

I only read leaks because Literally cannot wait to find out what happens next

There's an extention a ytber talked about called spoiler protection 2.0 you type words in it and anything with the word gets completely blocked out in a massive red block. it has been a life saver for avoiding spoilers. still have to delete twitter on my phone on wednesdays though, and avoiding yt thumbnails is like a quick time event. and Ion use Tiktok, so lucky me ig god hating JJK spoilers is so real, like god forbid I dont want to experience JJK via some guy explaining what goes on in a twitter post or read shittily translated scans. why can't people just wait a little? or at least be more respectful about spoilers. I'm never not gonna be annoyed at that one time some random guy just unfiltered, untagged, just screamed "[character] DIES???? [other character] IS BACK????"

I agree theres a big issue with how JJK leaks are handled and what it does for the hype of the series, but i disagree with the idea that the official translations aren't a big part of the issue. The official viz translator for JJK unfortunately consistently makes mistakes and mistranslates so I, along with many others, prefer to read other translations. I'd be okay with the leaks disappearing entirely if we could count on a decent translation from the official source.

You can binge after its done, the onyl difference is waiting for it to finish. There is nothing wrong with reading it weekly and then reading it _again_ together. I dont see your point here

Leaks are bad but they’re better than the John werry translation. It’s literally just straight up wrong sometimes which for abilities as complex as the ones in jjk does matter a lot

Halv way through i got brain rot by this

The person who is most likely to be equal to the ghost you're talking about is Yuji. He was also set up as capable of surpassing Gojo but he's the only one set up to rival Sukuna with his potential. Yuji will eat the six eyes and become the undisputable strongest in the series after a round two with Sukuna with both at full health

Please, don’t let it be takaba, I’ll literally take any one else lol

? ( 1:30 )

I agree and disagree on your point about the rest of the cast having a viable way to stack up against Sukuna even tho they are weaker. Gege set it up perfectly with Gojo removing Sukunas domain, Mahoraga, lowering his CE and RCT output. Gojo is the only person able to challenge a full health Sukuna in the series and he tore open a path for his allies. Then Yuji is lowering Sukunas output and bodily functions with each hit keeping Yuji as a cage against Sukuna. Plus any damage Sukuna takes only weakens him further. All of this is ruined by Sukuna apparently not trying Yuji and Yuta jump the shit out of Sukuna but immediatly after Yuta is cut in two we're told Sukuna wasn't taking it seriously. We have a no heart, ridicolously low output and weakened bodily function Sukuna PERCEPTION BLITZING Maki. Any sense of seriousness in the good guys attacks is removed since Sukuna can just no diff them if he felt like it. Sukuna should be physically faster, stronger and tougher even in this weakened state but he should still be challenged. This should be the one and only time everyone but Gojo stands a feasible chance against Sukuna but no I blame Gege not giving Kenjaku a proper fight. Gege wants to show off what everyone can do so he needs Sukuna to stay standing. If the good guys were more divided theres a lot less pressure on Sukuna to be the casts punching bag and you can have people pose a legitimate threat to Sukuna with their abilities

Yap tap yapping

I started reading the leaks because I was tired of being spoiled. The constant thumbnails that spoil important events in chapters on KZfaq just made me give in. And there's no way of avoiding it because people really want those few extra likes and they would do anything to get it. I wish the leaking community would be more respectful and considerate of people that want to enjoy the series without being spoiled.

Don’t entirely agree with everything you said at least in the leaking department, you seem to have an understanding of someone who observes the leaking community from a distance rather than actually knowing about it. Case and point the “there’s no discussion when the official chapters drop.” While this is technically true, if you were in the loop you would know and address that TCB (fan scanlators) drop high quality scan of the chapter basically the day after that are basically identical to the chapter in terms of image quality minus the terrible translation - which btw is objectively terrible no matter what you want to believe, there have been several videos made on this, the translator is notorious for ruining mangas throughout other communities as well. So yes there isn’t discussion when viz drops however you can still enjoy the chapter in the exact same non-leak quality early and talk about it like everyone else on twitter while enjoying an interpretation that respects the original authors work more. I say this as someone who’s personally still subscribed to jump and views the chapters anyways. As far as the midnight low res leaks, I would agree on the whole “it’s bad for your viewing experience” if you were singling out a leaker in particular and not speaking on a general basis. Myamura, who has the highest quality scans and the one who popularised it, has a viewing experience that’s just as enjoyable as the official release, with how he drops the panels in 5-10 minute intervals with translations, usually engages discussion with the rest of the community of which they’re tens of thousands showing up for it, doesn’t expose reveals to the end- regardless if this ulterior motive angle you’re talking about is true or not he just genuinely makes it entertaining and fun. It’s very hard to communicate this to someone who has never attended a leak night alongside the rest of the community, speaking as someone who used to feel the same way too. Just show up for one and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I will agree though the JJK community hasn’t done a good job at keeping discussions insular within people who consume leaks, but that’s really a byproduct of it being so popular I guess. Tbh I don’t know if it’s a fair point to say that they need to accommodate people who don’t consume leaks more because really you’re the minority at this point as far as I can tell. To put it into perspective the Myamura gets millions of impressions on each panel within an hour, tens of thousands of likes when he drops them at 2 am est with over 700k followers - again if you’re not in the loop you really wouldn’t understand how big it is but it’s kinda just expected at that point. Overall agree with your thoughts as per usual though regarding the story as of late

It was fine before but after gojo's death in 236 the leakers have become a pain.

When KZfaq needed him most he comes back, unlike Gojo

Ik you didn't just say hikari like he isnt still fighting uraume and has done zero damage 😂

To play devil's advocate, I wouldn't mind Gojo returning in some way simply because his death was the most poorly handled I've seen in manga since maybe Madara's death at the hands of Zetsu.

Getting spoon fed the events leading up to the Gojo fight (Yuji’s training arc) in flashbacks is so goddamn frustrating. It’s typically done at the start of each chapter breaking the fight momentum, and makes important plot feel like an afterthought

Audio is cheeks

Agree with all besides how bad the official translations are

Gojo coming back would ruin the chapters we were getting for almost an year now

This doesn't really work

I still love the quality of your ideas, but God, I'd like your videos so much more without the shitty memes crammed in. You know, I also really do not think you need to rely so much on clickbait titles and thumbnails. The quality of your ideas stand on their own. Add some of your own sense of humor and put your own personality into your editing. It's what I'd like to see you do, at least. Do what you gotta do.

Feels like a pretty ridiculous take friendo. The reason the leaks are so rampant is because they are translated infinitely better than the official releases (note that day 1 leaks are not the same as fully translated leaks). That ain't fans fault they want to get accurate translations and the vast majority of people aren't sitting around looking to ruin your JJK experience. Though you seem alright with ruining theirs. If you don't want to hear spoilers on social media, block terms associated with it from appearing in your feed. But it is kind of a crazy thing to assert that people should just stop talking about an ongoing series because you keep catching strays on SOCIAL MEDIA.

Yeah man I think most people would agree with your point about leaking. The JJK manga fan base is like ADHD with the leaks bro.

The leak culture surrounding JJK can unironically be attributed, in large, to the official translations. They are legitimately terrible. I don't like to rag on a person for a mistake, but John (Weary?) is TERRIBLE at translation. He did the official translations for One Punch Man as well, and it brought just as much uproar, though it's far more in the forefront since JJK is unbelievably popular. And at this point, I doubt bringing on a translator who actually speaks the language will stop such a leak culture within the Jujutsu Kaisen community when it's been rocking for so long.

Comment section didn't watch the video LMAO. Definitely agree about leaks it's completely out of hand and such a huge detriment to the discourse around JJK. Not keeping up but from the stuff I involuntarily see, this last fight has been a big, fun banger. Never doubted Gege could bring a hype conclusion; he always comes correct with a climax. I'm interested to hear your thoughts when its all said and done.

Holy shit the beginning is a very L take

Leaks or TCB scans are better in this case cause John Werry is a really bad translator

i read the leaks tcbs translation and the official chapter and let me say i think the best way to read it is the tcb translation the official translation is just hot garbage and leaks are low quality and tcb is just the official chapter but better
