FAQs
What chapter should I start reading the manga at?

The anime leaves off at Chapter 63, or the start of Volume 8.

Where can I read JJK?

If buying physical copies isn't an option...

Officially: Shueisha - Only the first three chapters and the most recent 3 chapters are available. New chapters are released every Sunday at around 10 PM MST (UTC-7). Viz Media - Only the first three and most recent 3 chapters are available for free, but for $2 a month, you can read the entire series (and every series on their site), including Volume 0, Jujutsu Kaisen's Prequel. New chapters are also released on the same day and time as on the Shueisha site.

Unofficially, Google "read Jujutsu Kaisen free" and make sure you have an adblocker installed.

What is the movie about?

It covers Volume 0, a one-shot prequel that Gege wrote before writing the main series of Jujtusu Kaisen. Yuta Okkotsu is the main character and it the story takes place 1 year prior to the main series.

Should I read Volume 0? And when?

You can read it whenever you like, but Chapter 63 is a good point to read it. It explains some of the events and motivations that happen in the JJK storyline.

Where can I watch the anime and movie?

Legally on Crunchyroll. We unfortunately have to keep links to aggregate sites off of the sub or risk it being flagged for takedown. Otherwise, try Googling "where to watch anime free reddit".

Which chapters correspond to which episode?

Even the heroes acknowledge Sukuna as the lesser of two evilsSpoilerManga Discussion

[Image]

I find it hilarious that even the heroes are aware of how depraved Kenjaku is and say they would rather face Sukuna. Sukuna is just a dude who does whatever pleases him in the moment. Laugh at Yuji or find a way to amuse him, and you'll live.

[Image]

Even Sukuna himself draws the line at it lol. Kenjaku is truly the ultimate evil of this verse.

Who will be the Strongest Sorcerer at the end of JJK?SpoilerManga Discussion
When/If the gang defeats Sukuna, who do you think will gain the title of Strongest Sorcerer? Could it be Yuji, the MC, with an unprecedented streak of progress and evolution of his powers. Or could it be Megumi, possibly regaining control of not only his body, but Ten Shadows - the strongest technique on par with Limitless + 6E - and maybe Shrine (?). Or Yuta - if he survives which seems unlikely - with his endless reserves of CE and tricks up his sleeves (second only to Sukuna in both matters). Chinese Sorcerer? Idk. Let me know your thoughts
P.S. Did Megumi lose Mahoraga and Agito along with all his shikigami after Sukuna's fight against Gojo? If he did, disregard him from this query I guess lol

Imagine how cool it will be if you could combine Domain Expansions.SpoilerManga Discussion

It's a cool concept. By taking control over someone's soul, you can use your domain expansion, then take an effect from the other person's domain, and mix the two.

EXAMPLE

Megkuna: Malevolent Shrine + Shadow Garden

Sukuna just uses his domain normally, then from Shadow Garden he takes the ability to stop his enemy from moving, then combines the ability with his domain, and you get this:

A domain that stops you from moving and slices you until you are dead

It overpowers, it makes it impossible to get out of the shrine range.

And that is just one example. Gege can do some wild stuff with this.

If Gege's face is known, do you think people are serious about their threats to cause harm on him?Misc

I always have the impression people are just joking or memeing. But lately it is getting worrying that people are acrually serious....

Now that the "climax" is announced, how many more chapters do you think JJK has left?SpoilerManga Discussion

A lot of people seems to think JJK only has about 10 chapters left to fill a volume and for JJK to end right after MHA (so, both MHA and JJK ending in same batch). Idk, i personally think 10 chapters are not enough. 20 chapters seem most feasible. So, 2 more volumes. Or 30 more chapters if Gege want to draw it out.

We still have the following mysteries and loose ends left. But of course Gege can just answer multiple loose ends quickly in just one chapter like what he usually do. Or just never answer them.

-Megumi's rescue and the closure of his character arc (e.g. if he will overcome his guilt over killing Gojo and Tsumiki. Similar to how Yuji somewhat has a closure regarding his guilt with Shibuya massacre - Yuji had that closure in Higuruma fight). I have a feeling Megumi most likely going to have a closure because Megumi's story path is setup to be a parallel to Yuji's.

-If Megumi going to have a role

-Yuta's 5 min timer and what happens after that

-Merger - if it going to happen or just a "stake" that the crew need to prevent (meaning it is not going to happen).

-if Hakari vs Uraume will ever be shown or just offscreneed.

-Sukuna and Kenjaku's relationship and past. E.g. what binding vow Sukuna and Kenjaku made? Why Sukuna is helping Kenjaku? In 221, Kenjaku was telling Sukuna that he need to fulfill his promise.

-Kenjaku and Tengen's connection.

Regarding Sukuna, Kenjaku and Tengen connections, i have a feeling it is not going to be touched on though... similar to how Yuki's past as Star Plasma Vessel was never touched on.

Would Maki or Toji have returned as a [manga spoiler?] SpoilerManga Discussion

Would Heavenly Restriction users like Maki or Toji return as vengeful spirits if they were killed by normal weapons, or would they not because their cursed energy is basically non-existent (afaik, my knowledge on HR isn’t the best)

Sorry if it's been explained and I just missed it lol

Current yuji vs all disaster cursesSpoilerManga Discussion

With yujis huge boost in power and still huge potential we have yet to see I was wondering if yall think he could take jogo, dagon, hanami and mahito(specifically by himself and with no sukuna).

I feel like he gets through dagon and hanami pretty easily only problem with dagon would’ve been domain and with simple domain yuji counters and dagons domain doesn’t have a end all be all technique as we see with nanami and naobito surviving with no rct plus yuji is just tankier than them in general. mahito would be interesting because without sukuna it makes yuji way more vulnerable however i feel like he now has long range attacks, his soul damage is more refined and he has simple domain.

Also this is just a random hope I have for yujis rct but wouldn’t it be cool if his rct could heal the soul since he has a pretty deep understanding of it. i think jogo is his biggest foe j due to speed and high output. what do yall think

Less known facts/implications based on the jjk fanbookSpoilerManga Discussion

After a long time, I finally decided to check out the fanbook to deepen my understanding of the story. I usually don't trust databooks because most of them are just a rehash of stuff stated in the manga written by some random person, but around 80% of this is written by the author himself, so I think it's worth reading.

As I was reading, I noticed a lot of details that I thought that most people don't know of, so I wanted to provide the more interesting pieces of information to those who don't want to bother reading the entirety of it.

  1. Itadori only knows a little bit of karate (Imo most characters know little if not no martial arts officially). Which means he's highly talented, as his martial arts techniques (i.e. manji kick) is purely on instinct, even though nobody taught him how to do it
  2. megumi feels sad when his shikigami die, as opposed to strangers dying
  3. megumi has seen other friends die before, and he's been a sorcerer for a reasonably long time, implying he started earlier than high school
    1. but it also says he didn't get assigned missions, and rather it was only when gojo brought him along. So perhaps there is missing context and that he just lost his friend in his first year of jujutsu high?
  4. Nobara was taught how to use her technique by her grandmother. Idk if her grandmother had the same CT. The fanbook (for kusakabe's page) states you don't need a CT to help train somebody else on how to use their CT, so it could go either way. I'm leaning towards that the granny had the same CT though.
  5. rika and yuta can see what the other sees.
  6. hakari looks old, but he was never held back a school year, he's the same age as everyone else in his grade (~18 probably)
  7. apparently hakari got into an argument with a conservative (similar idealogy to higher ups), beat the shit out of him, and got expelled. idk if beating up the conservative is the direct reason or an excuse for other issues they had with him
  8. Mai's first love was maybe fushiguro, and also a low chance of being maki
  9. muta (mechamaru) has "cursed energy output beyond measure". I suppose that makes sense, as if his output towards his puppet was weak, then there's no way the puppet itself could be semi-grade 1. Now the real question is if his output is even greater than the likes of sukuna and ryu (output relative to their reserves).
  10. Gege came up with Todo based on Zaraki Kenpachi (Bleach)
  11. gege's view on kenpachi is "if this guy’s around, you won’t die (because he’s strong)". gege's view on todo is "if this guy’s around, you won’t die (because it would turn into a gag)"
  12. Todo's scar is due to extreme training with Yuki
  13. Momo's dad (flying broom girl) is an american sorcerer (basically the only confirmation america has sorcerers)
  14. Gege can't see Gojo being faithful to a woman romantically
  15. "The Six-Eyes essentially is "eyes that see cursed energy extremely clearly"." Still doesn't really clarify much, but maybe it helps to know, idk.
  16. "Even objects that have no cursed energy can be made out by the remnants of cursed energy or the flow of cursed energy around them" I assume that's how he "sensed" Toji.
  17. Gojo recruited Megumi, Yuta, and Yuji solely(?) because they are strong/talented, I say that cause the fanbook also says that gojo didn't care about other details when recruiting them.
  18. Apparently Gege himself said that Nanami's 4 consecutive black flashes was during Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. I thought it was just a creative liberty by the anime.
  19. Mei Mei's favorite food is a type of malaysian food, so I guess she goes there often?
  20. Mei Mei's possesses almost 50 billion yen ($318 million). This is before shinjuku showdown.
  21. Mei Mei is an alias not her real name. I guess that's why she and ui ui don't share surnames. Ui Ui's likely isn't real either.
  22. Gege says not much of Geto's will remained in shibuya. He compared it to a dragonfly's head moving after being decapitated. (it's so gojover)
  23. Apparently the scars from brain hopping can be healed with rct, but kenjaku doesn't because of a binding vow. What that binding vow is, and if Yuta has the same vow, idk.
  24. The main reason Uraume has the right to be with sukuna is because she can cook delicious meals, apparently
  25. Kenjaku met Mahito through Jogo, rather than finding mahito himself
  26. When asked about the camraderie between the disasters, Gege said "Definitely yes, but maybe kind of no"
  27. Dagon apparently has an interest in Hanami (no further description)
  28. Rika is implied to be a psychopath and definitely a yandere (my opinion) but Yuta is him and fixed her (kinda?)
  29. Wasuke (itadori's grandpa) died to lung cancer, no sorcery shenanigans
  30. "The last chapter and key points of the ending have been decided, but there are many parts of the narrative until then that still haven't been defined. Fushiguro's ending is set, but not Itadori's." This could have changed though.
  31. it has been around 400 years since someone with the six eyes was born. But considering how gojo head and zenin head killed each other then, and that was around the keicho (1596-1615) or edo period (1603-1868), so we can assume it's where they overlap, which is around 400 years ago. So they're probably talking about the same person. 400 years since someone had six eyes + limitless. limitless might have popped up between those 400 years though.
  32. Gege himself says he planned to say that if Geto didn't split up his forces in jjk 0, he would have won. In the end he conveyed this through Kenjaku. So it seems it's not mere speculation by a character but what the author himself believes.
  33. (against jogo's domain) "Was Itadori fine in there thanks to Sukuna, thanks to Gojo or thanks to him being no ordinary person himself? Please, choose whichever you like best." It's interesting cause gojo makes the most sense, but gojo wasn't even touching yuji. So I wondered what the answer was, which...canonically doesn't exist :/
  34. "The rock Gojo suddenly smashed inside the domain was a “Meteor” unleashed by Jogo as a testing measure and it didn’t have any sure-hit effect." I was always confused by this since gojo managed to react to a sure hit, which I thought was supposed to be invisible. Apparently it wasn't invisible since it wasn't a sure hit. So then, did gojo stop it with infinity, or just CE reinforcement? Also, does the domain itself nullify defenses, or is it the sure hit aspect that does? and does the sure hit work because it travels through defenses, or because it spawns already past the defense? And apparently you can use a CT in a domain without sure hit too? I mean I guess, but why would you? Ah, so many questions I would like to ask Gege directly.
  35. Junpei summons/creates his shikigami through his hair
  36. (commentary for mahito vs. yuji and nanami) "I had already decided early on that cursed techniques would become unusable for a short period of time following Domain Expansions, but I ended up changing the specific wording from “impossible to use” to “difficult to use” in the process of finishing up this chapter’s storyboard. That’s why Mahito seems to be in pain at the end." mahito using his CT pretty much right after the domain can't be coincidence, especially since gege went out of his way to say this. Considering how even the most skilled sorcerers can't use their CT after a domain, the capacity of using it right after likely depends on 1) being a cursed spirit, and 2) how simple your CT is, like ryu
  37. "To tell you the truth, I think Maki catching a bullet might have been a bit too much, but… Well, it’s fine!" Maki had to perfect her heavenly restriction before properly reacting to mach speed naoya, and yuji in shibuya was stronger than maki but still was barely dodging piercing blood, so reacting to a bullet faster than mach speed in goodwill doesn't really make sense.
  38. Hanami was given a female voice because that's how Gege envisioned it.
  39. Todo's technique was initially going to be called "Fruits Basket"

This is just what I thought was interesting/important information. If you are feeling interested in it, then go check it out for yourself. Link to google doc

Also keep in mind this an interpretation, of an interpretation, so I might have gotten some things wrong, as others have pointed out in the comments.

Gege is planning something crazy with the Uraume vs Hakari fight (I hope)SpoilerManga Discussion

Like the title said, I have a firm belief that Gege would now shift the focus to this fight since Yuta vs Sukuna wouldn't be as pressing, with us already seeing Jujutsu satan fight Satoru.

I bet in the next chapters we would have Yuji react to Yutaru, Todo explaining shit to him, then them going to jump Uraume to get Hakari's help. Either that, or a continuation of Yutaru vs Sukuna, with the prior being a minor focus.

What do yall think?

How does a Black flash's potential boost works when multiple are hit?SpoilerManga Discussion

Does it simply multiply the previous number by 120%

IE Yuji hit Sukuna with around 8 Black flashes consecutively. (Let's just take these)

Would it be like 100%*120%^8?= around 430% of his potential?

Or something else?
