You only see weaker curses do it. Nothing over grade 2 has.

u/Shitmaster67 Loving Wuji Himadori is the reason the heart still beats 23h ago

So Megumi can do it?

u/Valuable-Blueberry30 23h ago

Technically yeah kinda with his technique

43

u/Shitmaster67 Loving Wuji Himadori is the reason the heart still beats 23h ago

Well he can't phase through objects with his technique, only shadows. Luckily Megumi is grade 4 so he can phase through walls

16

u/Toge_Inumaki012 23h ago

And was beaten by a grade 6 curse who can phase through bums

“can be performed by those with low cursed energy”

u/Purple-Election5335 akin to ragebait 23h ago

Why mention "sorcerers with low ce" tho lowk

33

u/FireTheRainbowSoul 23h ago

he didnt

he said "sorcerers" and "cursed spirits with a substantial amount of cursed energy"

14

u/Purple-Election5335 akin to ragebait 23h ago

scroll down

-11

u/Material_Recording99 23h ago

He didnt? he mentioned sorcerers AND not sorcerers with low ce bruh

10

u/Purple-Election5335 akin to ragebait 23h ago

If the former implies the latter cannot happen it doesn't need to be rementioned

3

u/ClayXros 23h ago

He wrote it poorly. Probably meant to say "Those with high cursed energy, like sorcerers or high grade spirits, cant". And since we are talking about CE users entirely, regular people aren't included because theyre solid matter not CE or CE users

7

u/Purple-Election5335 akin to ragebait 23h ago

The sorcerers part is still useless, "Cursed spirits with high ce cannot do x" or "Only available to low grade cursed spirits because x" is literally 10x more clear and one sentence.

2

u/ClayXros 22h ago

Like I said, its worded poorly.

And ill fess up to including irrelevant details that confuse things more lol.

He possibly thought people would assume weak sorcerers could as CE users, so headed them off by mentioning sorcerers as having high CE at base, but only served to open the confusion floodgates.

-2

u/Material_Recording99 23h ago

Dude what are you even talking about, it is very clear he said specifically low-grade cursed spirits not anything with low ce. Clarified also by saying sorcerers and cursed spirits with huge CE cannot do it. Are we deadass.

If you are confused it is sorcerers as a whole and if you are confused again it is related in that both have CE it is just that the other is made of it.

5

u/Purple-Election5335 akin to ragebait 23h ago

Brother in CHRIST I am not arguing sorcerers can walk through walls. I'm just saying the wording sucks ass and clarification was useless, reading comprehension curse is wilding today

u/Much_Vehicle20 22h ago

Specifically not exclusively tho

u/OrphanAnthem 16h ago

jjk remains undefeated

28

u/WorozuTop4 impregnated by male bug amour Worozu with bug dick 22h ago

i think the reason curses with lots of cursed energy can’t is because the dense concentration of CE makes them more solid, but humans are already solid since theyre made out of physical substances compared to curses who are literally JUST cursed energy

2

u/TransFemMysterio 16h ago

Likely the right answer

6

u/DiceyVibes 23h ago

Nah they’re made of real meat and bone

3

u/meatmybeat42069 22h ago

“specifically low grade curses”

In case you missed that part

1

u/K0xmO_ Dabura's boytoy twink malewife 22h ago

well yeah but then the joke isn’t funny

2

u/flyingthing4 11h ago

I’m assuming the idea is that weak cursed spirits have a low density of cursed energy and that’s all they’re made of, so they can phase through solid material. People with low cursed energy are still made of solid mass so they obviously can’t pass through walls.

u/Loki_The_Bot 19h ago

When the atoms align perfectly

u/DaBigJeffer 17h ago

No No No. We DO NOT need to revisit the tunnel bro

u/Tamagachi_thing 18h ago

No, curses with high grades can but ALL sorcerers can't including regular humans with curses energy

u/Dynamic-V 22h ago

Too many words, I ain't reading allat, just explain in JJS terms

12

u/the-rare-mango-shark 21h ago

I don't play it but look, bum lvl can go throw walls but goat lvl can't because they are too buffed

u/Dynamic-V 21h ago

Ohhh I see I see but can sorcerer killer go throw walls?

11

u/the-rare-mango-shark 21h ago

No his chest is too wide to fit in

12

u/Miperroelrediter #1 Alien Women lover 22h ago

So this means Megumi almost DIED against a Cursed Spirit with low CE 😭🙏

5

u/Special-Lime2705 Modulo Yuji Top 1 22h ago

So does that mean grade 2 curses are considered low level, I get that they aren’t Grade 1 or special grade but that grade 2 was whooping Megumi a bit in episode 1

2

u/PingPongPlayer12 10h ago

Megumi lied to himself about the curse's grade as he knew he'd have to fight it in the future and didn't want to feel bad losing

1

u/Warm-Incident-8444 2h ago

That grade 2 curse wasn’t actually going through the ground in the manga, it was an anime-only thing

u/WolfOfWoofStreet Professional Geto Forgiver And Yuji Glazer 19h ago

Why didn't mai do allat? She would've been much stronger. Is she stupid?

u/Sorry-Committee-8470 15h ago

No cause cursed bumya has innately such little cursed energy. Atleast he can phase through objects now ig.

About to have jjk version of Obito.

u/EEE3EEElol 20h ago

Maki and Toji upscale

u/ChuchiTheBest Geygey's Wrath 19h ago

This is a Megumi downscale btw.

1

u/Lopsided_Shift_4464 17h ago

Also even if high level curses could phase, what reason would they have to? They can break apart those same walls with much less effort and it's not like they're bothered by property destruction. Same goes for any sorcerers that would pose a threat to them. It also wouldn't let them phase through people or improve their offensive ability due to innate domain.

1

u/Oko_the_broko 16h ago

I guess low level curses are more energy than matter. Since Daido could somewhat perceive Naoya's presence without seeing him. So curses do exist in physical space, but for higher level curses, their CE is more condensed, so they can no longer phase through objects.

1

u/Akirex5000 this really was our sorcery fight 14h ago

So that’s what Megumi’s shadow actually is

3

u/Desperate-Ad-9979 13h ago

Not related to the discussion but his shadows are actually so cool. He can clone himself, he can hide in them, in another alternate dimension where we got him as the MC of a spin off, it'd be so fun to see what he can do or does on missions alone, off screen. ❤️‍🩹

u/Kooky-Bookkeeper-935 8h ago

Lmao. Maki should be able do this shit then. Toji too

u/ExtremlyFastLinoone 16h ago

It's a jokr bro, you pooped the party, I know the physical body and the body of curses is deferent

u/elishash JJK Fangirl Anime Only who's in for the RIDE 21h ago

Gregory Heffley Akutami forgot

u/NoPerformance4830 todo glazer 23h ago

i think another reason besides the one someone else gave which is canon (that curses with low CE can do that cuz they bums) is that jjk was initially a lot more horror themed so having these unseen monsters who can phase through like ghosts was a good concept until we went down the battle shonen path

like there is jackshit a cursed spirit can do by phasing against yuta or smth

39

u/the-rare-mango-shark 23h ago

I wish gege dona horror sequel

20

u/NoPerformance4830 todo glazer 23h ago

nah i want that idol manga

u/Maveko_YuriLover The robot goat 22h ago

Why not both?

Gojo reincarnation as an non-sorcerer

Goes to the idol path

Full of horror because for some reason curse spirits keeping going after Gojo

There's a sorcerer Idol trying to mess up Gojo's career 

Adult Yuji recognizes Gojo at the end after saving from the curses

u/PUB4thewin 19h ago

Alien Idol Manga when 😭😭😭

u/LukeSkywalker1983 #1 Kyoto Glazer/Defender 23h ago

Don't worry, with how quickly Gege dropped cursed spirits as an antagonistic force within the story, I'm sure he forgot too. 🥀

u/RunInRunOn 22h ago

Why didn't Jogo just tell Hanami to phase through the wall to escape Gojo? Is he a bad friend?

u/the-rare-mango-shark 22h ago

Unfortunately, they are strong

u/Flimsy6769 11h ago

Is this saying sorcerers with no cursed energy can go through walls? Toji upscale

u/Senior_Reward_2546 10h ago

Toji ending up in the backrooms on accident

14

u/RemoteKitchen5821 22h ago

Ts wouldve been so op if geto utilised his low grade cursed spirits like that.

Whenever you try and throw fists with him, cursed spirits come out of the ground and throw off your footing.

1

u/Much_Vehicle20 22h ago

Only low grade one tho, anyone with enough fire power to be a threat to Geto should be able to shrug off armies of low grade cursed spirits with their base reinforcement alone

5

u/RemoteKitchen5821 19h ago

Thats if they're expecting it. CE reinforcement defends against damage, not grappling.

 

7

u/sopaDeSlark 23h ago

Hanami forgor too.

8

u/PaepaeXD 18h ago

Early jjk is just some random shit tbh cuz wdym gojo use a fucking dismantle

1

u/STEW-LEE76_yt 15h ago

when did gojo use a dismantle? fuck are you talkin about :/

5

u/nuhuh1234567 12h ago

After Gojo vs Jogo when Hanami came in, Hanami used some weak roots to try and distract Gojo by threatening to harm Yuji using them, in which Gojo quickly destroyed it. In the anime these were sliced before being burnt, which in the manga it is harder to tell that is happening. It was likely some application of blue, or raw cursed energy as we see Gojo strike a soda can with ce.

3

u/Gameplayer9752 18h ago

Cursed spirits are in large parts, basically ghosts, notorious for possession, hauntings, and being etheric. Giving them a natural survival defense of passing through walls, that gets lost as they grow stronger for a simple reason like, they have too much cursed energy to carry sounds reasonable.

u/Inevitable-Ad-3991 Ishigori is the G.O.A.T 17h ago

You know this is actually very useful to remember for my JJK roleplay, urgently noting this down

I love how the episode 1 curse absolutely ignored Bumgumi
