Jujutsu Kaisen: Power System

@ohnomypotato-airaka and everyone else who's confused about what's going on in this manga with all these powers.

From one of the fanbooks I think, Gege made this Ability tree/chart to showcase how the power system in JJK works:

First and foremost, this Tree starts with CURSED ENERGY on the mid-left part of this picture. Meaning: you need a certain amount of CE to even try to become a sorcerer. From there the abilities branch out to CURSED ENERGY MANIPULATION (CEM), INNATE TECHNIQUE and NEGATIVE EMOTIONS.

I once made a post where I tried to map out all the abilities of the main cast. What I made at the time looks like this (it's incomplete of course):

But what the fuck do all of these things mean? Well, it means that you gain jujutsu abilities one step at a time and sometimes you need to master two different abilities to gain access to a new one. Let's look at Domain Expansion.

The path: CE -> Negative Emotions -> Innate Domain -> Curtain -> Barrier Technique -> Domain Expansion

Only if you follow this path will you be able to expand your Domain with the Barrier Technique being the most difficult ability where most sorcerer fail. EXCEPT for Megumi. He activated his domain without mastering the BT first, instead he compensated that lack of ability by using external barriers in the creation of his Domain.

(We have since learned that this compensation is exceptional and that with the skeletal construct inside Megumi's incomplete Domain, he's basically the next one in line to learn to expand an Open Barrier Domain)

The thing that's relevant for last chapter is the fact that after a DE ends the users Cursed Techniques become unstable meaning they can't use them anymore for a certain amount of time. A technique is everything on this branch:

What do those words mean?

Inherited Technique: Limitless, Strawdoll Technique, Anti-gravity System

Non-Inherited Technique: ok, nothing really comes to mind but summoning generic Shikigami might be this

Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, Resonance/Hairpin, Anti-gravity. Don't get confused by the word Lapse, it just means normal application

Cursed Technique Reversal: Red, Gravity. As you can see CTR has two paths leading to it, the second one coming from Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT).

RCT is not an actual technique as you just multiply CE with itself to create Positive Energy. What happens is this: Gojo uses his Technique and when he powers that Technique with Cursed Energy he gets Blue but when he powers it Positive Energy he gets Red. The same goes for Kenjaku and Anti-gravity and Gravity.

Positive Energy does not occur naturally inside the human body so to use a technique like Red, Gojo has to use two times the amount of CE.

Hope this helped :D

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

I'm hoping marriage isn't actually our idea of it. She seemed fine enough with Sukuna being a corpse. Hope it's something messed up like a fusion or ability swap/ combination. Think Uraume's bath not just being a bath. It's possible CTs can be constructed via mixing of bloodlines. Until Gege actually tells us how CTs form and why bloodlines are important we'll just have to keep on guessing.

JJK 218: I have mixed feelings

My impression from the last chapter stands: I like Yorozu a hell of a lot. She's strong and she's batshit crazy, and the backstory from this chapter establishes her as one of the strongest incarnated sorcerers. Among all the new characters introduced in the Culling Games, I'd say she and Higuruma are my favorites.

Plus, her technique, especially her armor, is pretty cool. The bug aspect is interesting, and the design of the armor is also damn nice. I like how bulky and sturdy it is, and seeing her physically throw Sukuna around was fucking amazing.

It's her, uh, motivation I have trouble getting into. On the one hand, her complete yandereness is fun. I know marriage became the focus later, but she started with the claim that she wanted to be the one to kill Sukuna and wanted him to be the one to kill her, and I like that sort of dynamic. And in this chapter as well, how much of her "love" is tied up in violence appeals to me.

B u t the target of said affection being Sukuna kind of ruins it. Not because I don't understand her rationale (I do appreciate that this chapter showed she fixated on him because they're both peerless in strength and she, at least, is lonely because of it) but because Sukuna doesn't really have the kind of reactions that make this one-sided attraction entertaining. Look at this:

I was cringing all through those last few panels. Just...no. Nope. No thank you.

It's similar to why Hana's thing for Megumi held no appeal for me, even if Gege did make a cursory attempt at showing it's a childhood fixation that escalated further. Women being this gone over men who don't give a fuck or are mocking them is a dynamic that actively puts me off. It wasn't fun when it was Sakura x Sasuke, and it ain't fun now.

Yorozu, seriously, you can do better.
