The Shibuya Arc of JJK is absolutely PEAK fiction, and Yuji's Friendship with Todo (plus their fight with Mahito or whatever) is the peak of that!

I think it's worth noting that every member of the Disaster Curses died in an ironic fashion. Hanami, who previously stated he wasn't arrogant enough to face Gojo, drops his only protection right in front of Gojo. Dagon, who looked the least threatening out of the curses and told the humans "don't underestimate us", pays no heed to Toji or Maki because they seem weak to him. Jogo, who kinda got treated like a joke by his own allies, was praised by his killer for being one of the stronger beings he'd faced and was later revealed to be desired by the big bad as having a powerful ability. And Mahito, who betrayed his allies and destroyed human beings to use as pawns, was betrayed by his ally and destroyed to be a pawn to a human being.

@AnakinFury 5 ай бұрын

Sukuna admiring Jogo makes sense when considering Sukuna's CT is just slashing, a simple concept, but given an extreme amount of power to make it terrifying. and overwhelm any defense. Likewise Jogo's is 'just' summoning lava and related phenomenon, but given a massive degree of power to overwhelm an enemy. Makes sense Sukuna who likes to use a simple concept and apply overwhelming power to it would appreciate that in Jogo.

@coulsonintahiti 5 ай бұрын

@@AnakinFury It being a simple ability with many applications at many ranges is probably why Fake Geto wanted it too. Dagon's technique nearly crushed even Maki and would be useless to F-Geto in enclosed spaces, and Hanami's technique was only good at mid-to-long range.

@AnakinFury 5 ай бұрын

@@coulsonintahiti Hanami was carried by the fact they're extremely durable, something Geto couldn't get. Dagon's might've been useful to have, mainly just to spam fish shinigami in domain as it assures a great offense, but generally Jogo's is just that concept but much more effective Honestly anyone BESIDES Gojo or Sukuna would struggle with Jogo because by base you'd need to be able to avoid the lava which already boils most things to death from being near it alone. Anyone who didn't reinforce themselves with hefty amount of CE (Gojo) or was physically strong at base (Yuji) would've easily died, and you'd need abilities which can distantly attack the lava to properly beat it back (Sukuna)

In so many ways, Yuji is the man with the ability to get the job done, but almost always requires major help from others to even get to the point where accomplishing said job is realistic. And honestly, that's much more preferable to so many other series where the MC is the only person who can solve the problem, but they take forever to get there and the supporting cast has to break themselves failing to win until the MC shows up. Just compare Todo in this fight against Guy facing off against Madara. Or even 50% of the fights in Dragon Ball while they're waiting for Foku to show up

The worst thing about Nanami exploding before Yujis eyes is had Sukuna not caused him to have a mental breakdown in the previous episode, he could have reached the subway station faster, noticed the sounds of fighting a lot sooner, and possibly prevented Nanami's death.

@christianmccollum5157 5 ай бұрын

Had Sukuna not taken over and healed Yuji then Yuji looked like he was about to bleed out. He could have died, but he would have remained incapacitated AT BEST. Sukuna also saved Megumi. Had Sukuna not showed up Mahoraga would have killed him. Sukuna also took out Jogo. Based on how easily Jogo dealt with Nanime, Daibatsou, and Maki I would say Jogo might would have blitzed all the remaining sorcerers in Shibuya. It may have been accidentally, but Sukuna coming out saved all the sorcerers ass BIG TIME. The bad guys may have realistically won then and there if he hadn't of switched.

The HxH references were legendary. Thank you for breaking down what made this fight was so epic. My biggest qualm with Akutami is not killing our fav character Nanami, but not letting Itadori get to deal the final blow.

Todo is a muscle sage in his wisdom and insanity. It’s amazing how much stronger Yuji is after every teaching

Todo is the kind of character where u wish u could earn even half the amount of friendship/brotherhood he has for Yuji

The music video scene is one of my favorite things in existence. I could watch it for hours. It’s truly a peak creation of humanity. When I initially watched it with my friends, we were all going crazy at the sheer perfection of it.

34:19 When Yuji punches so hard it splits the water, all I can think of is Sukuna doing the same thing with lava against Jogo. The scene at 34:36 where Yuji prepares to land a Black Flash is reminiscent of some images of Sukuna's faces during the same fight as well.

@18:25 They 100% showed us how Yuji was swapped when Todo appeared. At first, I was thinking the same thing but as the fight went on, you see him switch with pebbles. He does that when he saves yuji. You can even see it in this video. There’s a frame where you see a small blue glow when Yuji is swapped. That was the pebble Todo swapped Yuji with.

As someone who lived in Shibuya for years and still hangs out there frequently, the care taken with the setting was mindblowing. I can honestly say that I recognized every locale, even the bathrooms! That part of the city has changed quite a bit in the intervening years, but the show is a perfect time capsule of 2018 Shibuya.

@Chaster021 4 ай бұрын

The way they give Yuji a little bit of Sukuna's hairstyle in the final scenes of his fight with Mahito is a masterstroke. Not because he's accepting Sukuna as part of himself neccisarily, but that he's finding his killing edge in that moment.

I always loved Aoi Todo. But you going into depth just made me love him more. I would've never caught the switch with Mahitos sword if it wasnt for your keen eye and great writing. Thank you for another wonderful banger of a video

TFW Majito keeps killing Yuji's loved ones and saying how similar he and Yuji are thinking it will break Yuji's willpower making him easier to kill when instead it breaks down all of Yuji's moral barriers until he becomes a monster himself hell bent on killing curses purely for the sake of killing curses and Mahito is the only curse around to kill

I can't believe you make these videos feel so seamless. 40 minutes go by and I feel like it were 5 at max. This is some serious skill and only speaks to your hard work and ability. Great video, looking forward to everything you got coming.

Glad I'm not the only one who loved Mahito's noises. Those moments where Yuji pushed Mahito into breaking character and the edge of his voice broke gave me chills.

@theicecoldcool 5 ай бұрын

I was confused at first after yuji's cheek was cut open thinking sukuna took over but i liked that the damage yuji took happened to leave him with wounds looking like sukunas markings and loved mahito exhibiting even more fear towards Yuji at the end than he had towards Sukuna

Didn't even realise that it was an hxh reference (i did think about the netero moment when i saw todo standing there with 1 hand) but the idea that yuji could pull off gon's move has heightened my opinion of this fight

Hold up... the one who came up with th entire skit of Todo fighting with his role model idol against Mahito apologized for coming up with it? It's one of my favorite moments of the entire season! It was hilarious and very fitting of his character! I 100% back the statement of thanking this absolute genius for this cultural masterpiece. Please don't ever apologize for something so beautiful. Thank you for this incredible moment in Jujustu Kaisen.
