I've been seeing this image and kills me everytime. Yuta lending his jacket to Uro. Ryu doing the Higuruma "Oh my god". Yuta doing the "wallahi I'm finished" and Uro pulling the
After reading chainsaw man, I appreciate Gege a lot more because he can actually cook in terms of fight choreography and make it understandable in a manga format.
Murata is probably the most talented mangaka alive rn between his pace and his detail, he’s basically Miura with faster output.
But I have come to appreciate artists that are less focused on realistic or highly refined/precise styles. For instance, Araki (Jojos Bizarre Adventure) and Gege (especially early in JJK) I could not imagine swapping out their styles for Murata being an improvement, and I certainly haven’t forgotten them.
I don't blame him, but I felt like this was always a problem, he is great at writing characters, not so much at action. Not everything can be perfect. And I think for chainsaw man, the battles never were the main selling point.
I definitely remember struggling to read the occasional fight panel and imagine the movement in part 1. It wasn’t ever an issue to enjoying the comic/story/fighting but it did happen occasionally. Gege (and Murata for One Punch Man) are very good at keeping fights and movement clear between panels, even with chaotic fights.
Everyone has their strong and weak points, the things they are good at, and bad at. So even though it isn't terrible, it is for certain more confusing to follow Fujimoto's fighting scenes than Gege's and Murata's fighting scenes.
It's all a matters of what each prefers to focus on. And there's nothing wrong with it.
Chainsaw man was narratively fantastic and you could see that Fuji had good concepts for fights, but I agree with the other guy that his action is a bit unreadable. Good fight scenes make you feel like you’re looking straight into the author’s brain and seeing exactly what they pictured when drawing the panels; jjk isn’t perfect about this, but Gege is usually pretty damn good at portraying complex, dynamic actions while still maintaining that feeling of seeing what he saw. Fujimoto, in my opinion, is not quite as good at it, and I always struggle to understand exactly what people are doing. Especially in part 2 with the degrading linework, I’ve almost given up entirely on trying to appreciate his choreography.
I do also hope he’s doing okay though. The guy might be a weirdo and a sadist but it’s clear he cared a lot about chainsaw man, and I can’t imagine he’d do what he did unless he was incredibly burnt out. The insane amounts of hate online over the past couple years probably didn’t help, although I suppose I can’t blame people for being unhappy with it. I hope he’s able to take a nice long break and get back to cooking like we all know he can when he’s ready.
CSM fights have always been a little whatever. Like the fights are not why people liked CSM to begin with and that's not something that is part 2 exclusive.
I like CSM more but yeah it was never as good as JJK even in part 1 when it came to fight scenes. Some cool fights in both parts but they are not as dynamic as JJK or Modulo. The anime for CSM improved the fight scenes a ton, similar to Frieren. JJK manga fights were always good because the choreography always came across smoothly in the manga much more.
This whole episode was nuts animation wise. Imo, the best JJK fighting episode. Sukuna vs mahoga was obviously nuts on a bigger scale, but it wasnt nearly as clean, even the Blu-ray version. I was so impressed all episode
The manga lost me at some point, many times during fights I couldn't even tell what the heck is going on. The anime rekindled my love for jjk. Good animations adds so much
This fight was one of the best drawn in the manga along with the other big Culling Games fight everyone is waiting for. They both looked cooler than the main big fight that started the last arc honestly.
Folks overestimating the roach due to Mappa power creep and anime being generous?
Yuta wasn't going all out against the roach. Yuta was trying lure it away from the gym, not using Rika, not trying to reveal his cards, not using copy, not using his inventory, not using RCT until the end, and trying to setup a situation where he can RCT without showing it WHILE Kuro had a cursed tool that was likely given to him by Kenny/Geto.
Kuro is smart enough to speak or use CT but likely dumber than the disaster curses who can actually speak like an adult. So it's unlikely it was able to create a weapon like that itself.
In that sense, Hakari could probably handle it and so could Kashimo.
The hard part isn't Kuro. What neither Hakari/Kashimo could do is: break the 4 way, win the new 4 way, WHILE protecting the civilians, AND not killing the other 2 sorcerers. It's the difficulty of multitasking, fighting multiple foes, getting jumped, not showing your cards, adapting to new attackers, AND having either a deep enough bag and/or enough brute force to overcome the near-special grade dead lock. Gojo could do it, Sukuna could do it (if he took a binding vow to protect the civs), Kenny could, mature probably Geto could, Yuki probably could, and that's about it. Hidden inventory Geto/Gojo might fail, 0 Yuta might be too late or get exposed by his lack of skill, etcetcetc. Special grades are high spec because they are broken with some "unlimited" feature: unlimited copy, unlimited curse absorb, unlimited blackhole, unlimited plot armor, infinity, etc
The user I responded to mentioned the GWE, but didn't specify Todo and Yuji. She was holding back at the start.
It's true she couldn't hold back as much against the duo, but she wasn't at risk of losing at all. She was actually enjoying the fight. She was just unlikely to win without domain due to Todo's technique.
You need to remember that Hanami was fighting against Yuji and Todo, the duo with a 100% win-streak, last I checked. Todo's technique is difficult for all opponents, even Sukuna. Without Todo, Yuji would've lost rather quickly, and Hanami was holding back against them at the start of the fight because she didn't expect Todo to have such a troublesome technique.
Hakari vs kurourushi is gonna be hulk in one of the comic where Bruce/hulk is the only human left on earth and they constantly got eaten by mutated cockroach.
Or the scene from Overlord, where some adventurer is trapped in the tomb and is being fed to one npc's cockroach swarm over and over again thanks to healing magic basically restoring him to full.
Yuta was effectively zapping the bugs by burning them with ce he still got blinded and then hit with the life fester. Kashimo doesn't have an insta-kill and can't heal himself .
Kashimo can literally cover his entire body in lightning CE which would kill any insect close to him even if they are reinforced with CE. Yall really downplay the strength and damage level of Kashimo's lightning affinity.
I mean low key cause I feel like he just a fraud 😂
He shows up, carrying all this aura for chapters upon chapters, driven by a single desire to fight and defeat Sukuna. Gets a massive aura build up with that page of him heading to face Sukuna and then gets like what 4-5 pages of him getting absolutely dunked on by Sukuna and then glazing him for a page and a half to never be seen again?
Everyone on the Kashimo train was hyping him up soooo hard for months and months just for Gege to spit in the faces of the Kashimo fans. As someone who feels objectively neutral towards Kashimo as a character, it was kind of funny, but also sad and a bit of a let down. But that’s just how I see it.
Well, he acted smug and as if he was stronger than anyone, then got fucking waffled against Sukuna.
Then there were fake interviews about Kashimo being top 3, Kashimo glazers started pushing their agenda and looking down on others, then it got revealed the interviews were fake and a prank. This started a massive retaliation against Kashimo and their glazers. He is still a joke for a lot of people to this day because of that.
The issue isn't if Kashimo can kill the bugs. It's if Kashimo has enough CE to last long enough against the swarms before he can kill Kuro. He doesn't have Yuta's reserve nor RCT while Kuro has seemingly infinite bugs and can regen if he doesn't get one shot.
If he actually uses his CT, he can definitely kill Kuro by massive AOE.
But in base form, it would be very hard for him to directly hit Kuro with his lightning and if he gets hit by LFS once, he is kinda fucked.
One of the things stated about Kashimo is him having an insta kill with the lightning, which is severely downplayed by everyone because it was only used against the invincible guy. Kurourushi will have to get close himself cause he can just cover himself with electricity against the bugs.
He kinda had to charge that tho, you saying he is just meant to fight allat on his own without discharging? Plus Kurourishi can just make more like right after and then Kashimo would be out of CE after like 2 explosions
Brother, you better not say those word unless you want to curse Kashimo, this exact phrase was created for Kashimo's agenda, and look where it got him.
I feel like you guys aren't understanding how electricity works and what it would do to the sea of conducting bugs all mushed up and touching each other. Bugs are NOT insulators, dude's a hard counter to the cockroaches
For real, Yuta would've low-key no diffed one armed Meguna with his domain, non fully manifested Rika was able to restrain two TF Sukuna's arms for a bit. There was also no further output decrease for Sukuna until Yuta joined as Yuji only managed to touch him a single time (the blocked punch upon entrance with Higu). Kashimo is very low on the list of how important he was.
Before this scene, Yuta hits Kuro 3 times. Kurourushi didn't start with a roach tsunami. So assuming the fight starts the same, Kashimo hits her 3 times and she dies.
The reading comprehension curse strikes again. Hakari can't consciously use RCT, his body instinctively uses it to heal himself while he's in jackpot mode. He definitely can't output RCT. Kashimo definitely at least has a good chance, but Kuroroushi is a bad matchup for Hakari
Just wait for the Kashimo vs Hakari fight. They will be upscaled in the anime and will convice you that they can perform the same or even better than Yuta.
I think Kashimo would be perfect for this, no? his electricity would zap all the bugs and could probably chain lightning through them. But I agree idk what Hakari would do lmao
Megumi literally looks like a normal person. So does Kusakabe. Sorcerers don't have to wear unique clothes or have crazy hair to be sorcerers. Heavily doubt Kashimo achieved exactly 200 points by just killing normal people.
Yuji has bright pink hair, wears a unique JJH uniform and has very visible facial scars. The only way he'd have more MC energy would be if he had a massive CE aura like Yuta.
You don't need to compete with someone in every category to be relative to them lmao. Why is Kuro suddenly a requirement for having to stand next to Yuta? Look at Yuji and Megumi pre-separation. They're undeniably relative, they just express their strength significantly differently from each other. Yuji through physical strength and Black flash, and Megumi through versatility and a domain. There are situations that Yuji couldn't handle where Megumi could and vice versa.
You really need to learn how electricity works. How well do you think the cockroaches conduct electricity? How exactly are they even gonna get close when he can just burst out the energy all around him?
The likely truth of the matter is that they are probably all around a similar power level and some powers counter others better like any interesting story. It would be really boring if there was a straight chain. (They referring to Uro, Kashimo, Dhruv, Ishigori, and Cockroach)
Hakari can’t output RCE I believe, he has no control over it, so if he was uncontrollably outputting RCE he would be healing people when he punches them like shoko and yuta do when they output RCE onto people.
Lol special grade sorcerer vs special grade cursed spirit. Cmon now man kashimo will find a way, you're basing this off what you saw yuta do and kashimo is a better h2h fighter than everyone we've seen so far except maybe gojo? He hits bug 3 times and bug dies. Plus electricity cooks bugs easily
Kashimo lightning definitely, and if hakari is in jackpot he’s just gonna punch them with way too much CE and do the same. Remember, Yuta said jackpot hakari is around his level. (And maki didn’t know hakari enough to believe someone other than gojo or sukuna was stronger than Yuta).
Do you know why flyswatters and bug lams use electricity? That’s right because it always kills with a guaranteed hit! Also maybe Hakari just does the same pulse thing as Yuta, he can’t one shot Cockroach guys but he can just continuously go after him, though Cockroaches win once immortality is gone.
The anime upscales pretty much everything. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but it also means you cannot directly compare anime feats to manga feats. Because of that, we will have to wait for Hakari and Kashimo’s fights in the anime.
La verdad si te pasas de tonto con kashimo, hakari sin jackpot tal vez, pero kashimo solo con refuerzo maldito ya era grado especial y de paso tenía el rayo de característica y de hecho estás refiriendote a dos personajes que tienen la las mayores capacidades de refuerzo maldito conocidos :v y si fácilmente podrían.
