Sukuna Does Not Have The Upper Hand Right Now...specifically His Left Upper Hand - Tumblr Posts

This arc finally got the moment it's needed :D

Amazing jjk chapter this week. Feels good to say that!

For the first time, we see outsiders, Miguel and Larau, analyze how weakened Sukuna has gotten. And honestly? we really needed a story beat putting this whole exhausting gauntlet into perspective like that.

An under appreciated part of this arc, so far, has been its gauntlet structure. Sukuna survives sorcerer after sorcerer, winning through both brute force, quick thinking, and luck. A cool idea for an extended sequence.

However, this idea has felt monotonous at times because so many chapters have ended on:

New character is going to take on Sukuna??, or

Sukuna regained the upper hand!! (now wait two weeks)

I think week-to-week (+ breaks), people have gotten tired of Sukuna "never losing the upper hand", but basically every major character (except Choso rip) has gotten at least one good hit on him. We just needed a breather like this to put all the characters' work into perspective. We hear a comprehensive list of every injury we've seen him get over the last year...

and suddenly everyone's back on their feet, and he's getting danced on, and he's lost another hand, and he's lost his trump card, and Yuji's starting to hope again but you know there's some BS he hasn't accounted for and--

its so nice to feel excited to see “how's Sukuna gonna get out of this one??”
