“The light of hope shines black” is one of the hardest lines ever

they call my boy yuji 007 0 friends alive 0 reasons to live 7 BLACK FLASHES IN ONE CHAPTER🔥🔥

So black flash is about locking in so hard the jujustu sorcery itself acknowledges your determination.

"The sparks of black does not choose who to bless" Yuji has been 'blessing' sukuna with a lot ot black flashes lately tho

With enough “I want to hit a black flash” you can achieve anything

Nanami saying that 4 consecutive black flashes is his *record* hints that he has dished them out before but just not as much consecutively. So Gojo only having hit 5 in his lifetime is absurdly low. You gotta remember. The world of jjk has existed long before the first chapter and these people have been going on missions for years to decades. That's more than enough of a chance to land a dozen or two

Flow state. They're locked in. Game 7 of the NBA finals and it's a tie game with 4seconds left on the clock. Pure focus.

Yuji hit black flashes every single time he needed to. He never needed one and then couldnt hit it. He even faints black flashes against mahito for the win. And mahito thinks the first punch is going to be a black flash, but Yuji switches hands. Yujis always been able to do it "at will" in the sense he hits them when he needs to. His first one he hit like his second try, ever. And he was actively trying to hit them against hanami.

In the newest chapter, it was mentioned that a Black Flash makes a "cursed energy circuit/relay" in the brain, which allows other parts of your brain to be involved in manipulating cursed energy. I think that's a big part in determining what a Black Flash is - it's when you put your *whole self* into achieving your goal. That's why the speech Todo gave Yuji was that to achieve Black Flash requires living with your entire body at once, rather than just moving energy around you. It's about oneness and wholeness, which makes sense considering the strong Buddhist themes in the series. I read an article about a guy who was brain-dead in 95% of his brain, but who walked and talked like a regular person, because his spinal cord had taken up all the activities normally reserved for his brain. And a friend of mine with Dissociative Identity Disorder (aka split personalities) mentioned that the reason the disorder shows up tends to be because of a lot of dissociation during the identity formation stage of childhood, leading to the brain being unable to form an identity normally and instead splintering. When I brought up the aforementioned spinal cord brain guy, she said that it often felt like a lot of her identities were different parts of her brain forming identities of their own. Basically, different parts of her nervous system took up the role of identity formation because the part that normally does it wasn't working, so she ended up with a bunch of different identities. And you know what that mirrors perfectly? Sukuna using different parts of his brain to take on the burden of cursed energy manipulation so he can cast a Domain Expansion despite being brain damaged. And he only did that after he achieved two Black Flashes - after he achieved oneness with his whole self. So basically, when you achieve oneness and wholeness with yourself while devoting yourself entirely to a specific cause, you can achieve a Black Flash. And since you're now "in the zone" and are acting with 100% of your brain directed towards a single goal, you can achieve a Black Flash easier because the previous Black Flash put you into that "oneness" mindset.

Now the "nah, i'd win" makes sense, it was Gojo belief in himself

Jaded gonna hit a black flash at 20k

pulling their hand all the way back raise the chance to black flash to 100%

Also I liked the yuji point about him never sacrificing cuz he always sees himself putting all he has into it

I just wanna throw out there that the JJK 0 scene of Nanami hitting black flashes was in fact the moment that he set the consecutive black flash record of 4. He mentions later that it was during the night parade of 1000 demons that he landed those 4 black flashes.

"Throughout heaven and earth I alone am the black flash merchant" - yuji itadori

If Black Flashes are like "critical hits", then Yuji definitely have the highest rate since his CT is Left Right Goodnight. Add the fact that it sends you into a Zone state, you are basically adding a multiplier for the Critical Chances. Yuji's efficiency in handling his CE, and his determination to go all in against his enemies, then you'll have a great formula to get the Sparks of Black in your favor.

When u mix consistency and instinct, you get the flow state

Makes sense actually, that’s probably why Yuji didn’t land a black flash on Choso since his mentality had shifted from what it became when he fought Mahito.

The king is back

Yuji may not be able to command the sparks of black, but as their prince they always answer his call

Nice to see the Black Flash more relevant in the story again fr Yuji and Sukuna both about to pop off

I wonder if there are any hidden aspects of Black Flash, specifically if landing so many in a short span of time causes the Black Flash power-ups / 120% potential awakening to stack, even partially. I know the sample size isn't big enough for the people in the setting to make concrete conclusions, seeing that they only have Nanami on record landing a handful of them in immediate succession, and Gojo was never going to need more than a couple Black Flashes to annihilate anyone below Sukuna or Mahoraga's level, But I get the sneaking suspicion that if someone was landing dozens of Black Flashes in a single fight, they'd be gaining FAR more momentum than someone who landed just one.

I bring this up every time Black Flash is the topic of discussion, because I think it's really cool. Basically, there's a book I read, pretty short, titled Zen in the Art of Archery. The topic is kyudo, the traditional Japanese form of archery, and how the author's kyudo instructor used it to teach the principles of Zen. Evidently this is common to lots of Japanese traditions, from martial arts to stuff like calligraphy and flower arrangement, i.e., using them as a "way in" to talk about Zen. And I think GeGe used that as inspiration for Black Flash. The majority of the book deals with the task of firing an arrow, which is extremely difficult in kyudo because once you draw the bow, you don't decide on your own when to let go. You have to maintain that position until the arrow naturally leaves your grip. It's compared to the way snow will collect on a leaf, then when enough of it gathers, it spontaneously, organically falls off without movement from the leaf. When the archer manages to do this, to patiently hold the drawn arrow until it lets itself fly, the author and his teacher describe this sort of "rush," this feeling of being simultaneously omnipotent and immersed in nature. Like they're a conduit for some force of nature that acts through them as instantaneously as a bolt of lightning. So that's basically Black Flash, right? By focusing intently, like insane levels of focus, and tightening up the timing on their cursed energy control as much as possible, a sorcerer can create the conditions for a Black Flash. However, they can only create the conditions for it. Nevertheless, if they land one, they instantly gain insight into the nature of their own cursed energy and cursed energy as a whole. We see Nanami describe it as this feeling of being "in the Zone," like the world's revolving around you, but I bet another way you could put it is that it's like the barrier between the individual sorcerer and cursed energy as a force of nature breaks down, and it's like cursed energy is acting through them instead of them using cursed energy. Black Flash isn't just a huge boost to damage output, and it isn't just a tune up to cursed energy efficiency, either. It's like a gateway into enlightenment, like becoming one with the universe of cursed energy. I think that's rad as hell.

The jujutsu craft editing is incredible 🙏🙏🙏

Bro when ever this man jaded drops a video it just hits different for sum reason

Now THIS is the content I’ve been needing 🔥

Finnally the banger dropped i was waiting for it since your post

Black flash for me is like flow state and peak performance in Blue Lock. Not a coincidence that I found this video after learning about ego types and flow states from a blue lock video lolll

Something I’ve wondered, and haven’t seen talked about, in regard to, the Black Flash: could someone like Hakari land a black flash? And given his domain that gives him unlimited cursed energy for 4 mins, 11 seconds, would he be able to land as many Black Flashes as Yuji has, if he was able to better control cursed energy? Since we know he can’t control reverse cursed energy, it just kinda happens when he needs to be healed. And maybe he is good with cursed energy manipulation and I’ve just forgotten. But if he isn’t, then that’d make for an interesting what if video maybe? Good for thought. Love your videos!

The goat man everything bout these videos hit like crack

Bro called Megumi a bum in different flavours for 10 minutes😂 I’m here for it

FERVOR BRO... This mistranslation man, I can't 😭

Jaded has already hit the black flashes, the biggest one with his video about: "JJK teaches you the opposite". Great job as usual, hope you will reach 100K

[LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK] What did you guys think of each of these things? - Extra gameplay in the background? - Effects that float around the manga - Tinting and slightly coloring each page - Topic

I love his editing and voice changer it’s so good 😮

Man, I love JJK more and more with every day, it's not only clever anti-shounen with cool fights and rad characters, but it also resonate with my sociopathic enlightenment very good

Fire editing fam

Nahh this video bouta blow up

It's one of those things where, once you've done it, you just can, and up until then, it's just a thing you chase

Gege saying megumi doesn’t fit the black flash is the funniest thing I’ve heard He isn’t like that

U underrated bro, keep it up

Sometimes in life there are perfect moments, and you don't get to decide when they happen, but they happen more often if you've got the mindset to seize the circumstances.

I think that while black flash puts a sorcerer into the "Zone" state, that it takes kinda reaching that point on one's own before the flash to really use one at first. If not then we'd see characters landing them totally randomly as their first hit in a fight and then get that massive advantage. Almost to the point that while the series says it is a result of the black flash, that it feels more like the flash and the zone state are tandem abd happen simultaneously. Also added to this is the intuition some charactees get that someone is about to land one.

Yuji was born with that conqueror haki mindset

Damn great video

this is great analysis and I appreciate your video. I have to ask though, what the hell is that game that keeps playing with the Minecraft looking block fighters? Lol

I love the jujutsucraft gameplay, its a small detail but it's realy cool

Its always been apparent that desperation and determination cause black flashes. It is never explicitly said but every time it happens the user is on the back ropes and needs a boost. The reason Yuji lands 8 in a row recently is because the gap between him and Sukuna is just so big

The way I see it, considering that using Black Flash allows you to understand Cursed Energy, the more you use it, the more you understand Black Flash itself and the easier it becomes to use it in a limited amount of time.

The sparks of black, happen when one is truly expressing ones soul in the most true form

continue using jujutsu craft as your b-roll, shits fye.

Megumi always tries to play smarter, not harder, which is why he never takes into consideration his own abilities

Editting is wild

Yuji is basically an item locked max level phantom assassin with his consecutive critical hits. Sidenote: I wanna see a fanmade Yuji vs the grudge cursed spirits and Sadako 😂

I think that yuji could be using a binding vow of some sort to execute so many black flashes when he was fighting sukuna in chapter 256 and 257. This binding vow could give yuji the "flow" needed to execute black flashes but with a drawback. I don't know what could this drawback be.

Yuji hit 3 Black Flashes vs Maitho in Shibuya. (1st was as soon as Todo "revived" him. 2nd was when Todo used Maithos hand to swap with Yuji. And the 3rd was used to finish the fight)

its like hitting a homerun in baseball but you only have .000000000001 seconds to react to the pitch. and the pitch can be many types: fastball, curveball, splitter, slider, etc. you can get really lucky if you guess, but you still have to be really good. but guys like gojo can see so well that they are fouling off every pitch, its just a matter of time until he makes solid contact and sends the ball 5000 feet

so more likely then not if you put full trust into black flash you will be able to land it, which is the reason why after yuji patted gojo on the back that helped him change his mindset he was able to hit black flash later on as we saw gojo looked tired and worried about the fight which he still wasnt immediately able to hit black flash comming freshly out of the gamblers mindset but there is one problem. hakari who always have cursed energy a very high output, gamblers mindest, only punches and kicks, has never hit a black flash, hakari should be the most proficient if thats the case. except for when he is in jackpot, thats when his cursed energy is too strong to be controlled for the "1 2 3" explanation gojo made

I like to compare the black flashes to the thread from Kimetsu no Yaiba, whenever someone is about to hit a black flash, is like they are able to see through their opponent, like if they knew they already won the fight. When Todo landed his black flash, he was essentially able to predict the outcome of the swap with the rock and his kick, like he knew that kick will land no matter what. Every Black flash Yuji landed on to Mahito, again he already knew he had won. When Gojo landed his first black flash against Sukuna, he tricked Sukuna by delaying red’s detonation, just like when a demon hunter smells the thread to cut the demon’s head, before landing the blow, they already know that blow is 100% hitting no matter what

Does someone know the name of the background music name? Btw, just to say that the analisis of the vid was great. I quite found empty that this mecanic would be considered pure luck as a plot device. But when you put it as a state of mind it makes a whole lot of sense to be happening in such moments where it did.

Black flashes are not random. They happen whenever the author needs them to.

You just need that wind up panel with savage stare right before lol

3:09 Yuji landed 3 Black flashes vs Mahito 1st when he "came back from the dead" after todo's speech 2nd after Todo clapped with mahito's hand. 3rd after he hit ISDK Mahito after Todo's bluff.

Yuji: I wanna -be a super saiyan- land a black flash, I WANNA, I WANNA,I WANNA

Gojo lied to megumi it's no way his potential is higher than yujis but his skill most definitely was probably not in hand to hand combat but overall

"you need the skill to capitalize on your luck"

It depends on the being and the opposing being. Well if you're not complete that is.

I think black flash works similar to heavenly restriction, where the user gives up what is precious to them (winning) in order to gain (bet) on their attacks

tbh have you guys thought that yuji never hit a black flash alone? he only hits them when we with his BROTHA'S aka todo or choso

The effects of a black flash are like hitting a bunch of drugs in fallout. Yuji is probably not breaking a sweat rn

I just love how he uses icons of the Minecraft mod for jjk for the video like in 1:55 that's the icon for melle attacks that are not curse technique's

Off topic , but do we think we are mis-reading Open furnace as a technique instead of simply Sukunas Supreme art attack? We don’t consider hollow purple or uzumaki a separate technique do we ? What do we think Yujis supreme art will be? I hope it involves blood manipulation

Black flash really is just the power of locking in.

In short In the world of the black flash, it's either you die or he dies, no in-between. A perfect blend of hatred, spite and a drive to survive

Always bet on Yuji

Megumi is probably never coming back tho

Between the scattering sparks of black, Yuji Itadori awakens.

It’s when gege decides

Yuji heard this and went “well I got nothing else, I gotta crit max”

12:30 oh no, the background music...

Also make a vid about Kusakabe being the best

conclusión: black flash is like a crit hit in a video game

17:01. Hakari is the true master of black flash confirmed?👀👀

Always bet on yourself🔥🔥🔥

You actually forgot something, Yuji hit 3 blackflashed against mahito. Its when todo loses his arm and switches places with yuji. Which would've made yuji and gojo tied in total blackflashes prior to yujis blackflashes against sukuna.

hitting a black flash is like hitting a frame perfect trick in a videogame or smthg idk

Yuji in the newest chapter: 8 consecutive black flashes

The funny thing about flow state is like you’re in between total focus and auto pilot. I am a firm believer that no one experiences flow state more than people who play video games.

Imagine a black flash clash. A Black Clash. Or even worse my god Yuji using a black flash divergent fist combo.

So basically: Desire Fever And a lot of not summoning mahoraga

So...Black Flash comes from the feeling that you HAVE TO land an all powerful blow in the moment. I like that. I like that a lot. I haven't watched all of JJK, but I like to believe it depends on the opponent's cursed energy because it causes a reaction from the two separate energies colliding and exploding with each other... ...Unless landing a black flash is possible against a target without cursed energy. We don't see people landing black flashes on random trees or rocks...right?

Itadori really just said “Put this Black Flash on my life” a lot, i would say “Put this Black Flash on my friends and family” but if he did there’d still be a majority of the cast alive, but I guess the family part kind of counts because Sukuna sure ain’t getting put down.

it like you want to be in the edit!

yuji hit 3 black flashes against mahito. After Todos speech, after the switch and to beat him.

yuji when the next chapter he hits 8 black flashes

Do u play orca’s jjk mod in mc too

Whats the jjk mod in minecraft your playing??

But isn t yuji a curse and the nephew of sukuna?wouldn t that help him understand and master sukuna s techniques

being real for a second now Nanami's CT was basically a guaranteed Critical hit on the target there's a limited number of things in JJK-verse capable of getting double critted by that kind of shit more than four times Nanami was in the zone and I'd bet a few bucks he could keep going, same as when Yuji hits the sandbag zone on Sukuna
