呪術廻戦 [Jujutsu Kaisen] #8
Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 8
In a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna were lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of Jujutsu Sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural!
Yuji Itadori and his classmates are fighting two of the three reincarnated Cursed Womb: Death Paintings brothers. Meanwhile, Megumi Fushiguro loses consciousness after finally defeating a special grade curse that possessed a Sukuna finger! Whoever wins the fight between Itadori and the brothers will be the one to secure the prized finger!

August 1, 2023therapy is expensive but thinking about second year gojo satoru is free
January 13, 2021
SATOSUGU ARE SO POWERFUL, TALENTED AND HOT..... AND FOR WHAT???? I LOVE THEM!
April 20, 2021
My one complaint is that I think the overall story composition lacks a little. It feels like there are a lot of abrupt jump cuts that leave a lot out sometimes. Especially with regards to flashbacks.
April 11, 2021
I just know everyone hated gojo when he was younger
March 28, 2021
things to live for: (1) nobara & megumi pulling ultra-deduction to get yuuji a girlfriend, (2) second-year satosugu constantly on the move maligning people, (3) toji fushiguro losing bets, eating takeout, stabbing high schoolers, & not remembering his son’s name : )

Toji. That is all

“Society should protect the weak and keep the strong in check. You see Satoru, Jujutsu exists to protect non-jujutsu users.”
Everything about this volume was so delightful I couldn't help but squeal a lot.
Seriously, I don't know what I was expecting when I started to read it, but it wasn't quite expecting the very different perspective that we got to explore more of the characters, the story, and the world in general.
It was clever and funny, filled with interesting ideas and the gut-wrenching knowledge that something terrible looms just around the corner like a nightmare it had me hooked and raving in instants.
“Those who are focused on a single way to win are easy to manipulate when presented with the opportunity.”
The characters, though familiar, were all really refreshing and interesting to get to know better... or, rather, to get to understand better.
I'll admit, that the change in perspective disoriented me a little at first but, well, I can hardly argue with the way it expands and details the events that are currently happening. After all, our present is hardly ever standing alone in an isolated, frozen moment.
Let's not forget that it was also rather amusing.
Seeing the personal beliefs of certain characters also shed some light on their actions, as it's often the case, and made it all the more fascinating.
“Anyway, it should be okay. We’re the strongest.”
____________
This was a lot more fun than I was expecting... and also way much tenser than I had thought.
I need to grab the next volume ASAP.
RTC.
____________
I am beyond excited to finally be reading this volume as, finally, here starts what I don't know about the story and I AM ALL HERE FOR IT.
I suspect, rather strongly, that things are going to go very wrong soon, way sooner than later, and I'm not sure I'm here for it. I need all the characters to be happy, and Yuuji to remain the sunshine child he is. Anything else is unacceptable.

fellas is it gay to be so wholly and overwhelmingly in love with your best-friend to the point you go mad with grief at nearly losing him and try to rewrite the basics of your society

sorry but i love this gojo and geto high school arc
June 27, 2022
who needs therapy when you have gojo
June 7, 2021
This new arc is fascinating, seeing a second year Gojo is the best thing I would ever seen. He's just so cool and sexy. And seeing him working together with Geto is a concept I thought I've never going to see.
The introduction for Toji Fushiguro is also pretty interesting. I still don't see the appeal that people have for him, but well, it's still too early to say something.
AND, seeing a first year Nanami, is something I didn't expected!!

My review for Jujutsu Kaisen -Fans' Gudiebook- https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review for Jujutsu Kaisen vol. 0: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review for vol. 7: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Jujutsu Kaisen vol. 8 is where season 1 of the anime ends and where season 2 will start, I'm so excited to read it. Now I'm half way through and it really doesn't disappoint!
At the beginning, we got to see Yuji and Co. fighting two of the Cursed Infants brothers and the fight scene is very impressive!
Then in the next part, we go back in time to see the younger Satoru, Geto and Shoko in their high school year and they are just sooooo cute!! I even like Riko Amanai as well!!! But Megumi's dad is scary!!! I also like the younger version of Utahemi and Mei Mei doing a mission together (before they got interrupted. LOL)
The interaction among Satoru, Geto and Riko is also so cute damn it! So it makes what happens next to be even sadder.
PS: the author really doesn't mind killing off their characters it is damn scary!!!!
PSS: I saw this fanart online and I do believe it's what the Fushiguro Family's homelife would have looked like if things were different. XD

Given how nonchalant teenage Gojo is about the plight of others, and how it is actually Geto who's a sensible foil in this duo, you'd assume it'd be Gojo who'd become a bad guy in the future. How the turntables.

What the hell was that ending?! I'm concerned but also not. If you've read this you probably know what I mean..
Also I live for young Gojo and the flashbacks 🥺

We finally meet the elusive Fushiguro Toji. I knew he was a deadbeat, but dang, he exceeded my expectations. This was equal parts hilarious and action packed. It’s always nice to see Gojo, Geto, and Nanami as students.

So glad this is fictional because if a fine man like Geto Suguru asked me to join a cult, I'd be down.

I want Geto Suguru to choke me and if he indeed chokes me I want him to spit in my mouth

Meeting Toji with extended flashbacks to Gojo and Geto’s past at jujutsu high? Obviously this was my favourite volume. (Plus, Itadori reuniting with the girl from his grade school was so cute!)
January 30, 2022
Aquí empiezan los líos con Tengen, pero Satoru de joven y Toji hacen que no le dé demasiada importancia.
Portada 🔝🛐

Wow!! Gojo and Getou’s high school arc is extraordinary. And Toji is so calm and collected but still has that slight rebel persona. We love that :)

"No quiero que la gente que no está en mi situación me acompañé en esta travesía."
Mezcla de historias, pero lo más interesante es el pasado de Gojo.
-Nobara domina el destello negro. Imparable. Los dos hermanos del útero maldito son eliminados.
- Secretos entre compañeros. Megumi y Kugisaki guardan información sobre Itadori, y viceversa. No pinta para bien.
- Se viene la preparación para que los chicos nominados sean ascendidos a rango 1. Misiones individuales.
-Un poco de relleno en ese volumen, una ex compañera del colegio luego de un radical cambio, busca a Itadori para confesarle su amor, pero lo interesante de esto, es que podemos ver el lado más profundo de Itadori, un chico que parecer ser superficial, pero en realidad ve más allá de lo que uno cree.
-Tenemos un flashback del pasado de Gojo, Geto, Ieiri y sus compañeros cuando eran estudiantes. Les encargan la misión de proteger y eliminar a una chica —Su nombre es Riko— que es compatible con la "sustancia líquida planetaria de Tengen”. Se conoce la importancia de Tengen para las barreras de protección y como muta de cuerpo para seguir existiendo y evitar que se convierta en enemigo de la humanidad. Además, aparecen otros grupos como los expertos en maldiciones Q y la asociación de vasijas del tiempo.
- Aparece el padre de Megumi. Le hace frente Gojo, es un personaje muy fuerte que hace ver que Gojo no es tan intocable como se cree.
- Nanami joven y su compañero Haibara es un detalle muy bonito de parte de Gege, ya que Nanami es uno de mis personajes favoritos.
