Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 6

呪術廻戦 [Jujutsu Kaisen] #6

by Gege Akutami

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!

During the Goodwill Event, the Kyoto School's authorities order their students to assassinate Itadori. However, Mahito and a horde of special grade curses and curse users complicate matters by attacking the students. The teachers move quickly to counterattack but find themselves cut off by a barrier. Can the students survive this demonic onslaught?!

“Your friend Fushiguro is hurt. And worst of all, our bonding time as best friends was interrupted…So I understand better than anyone why you would lose your cool.”

in this volume, we are still battling between the kyoto and tokyo schools, at the goodwill event, but itadori and todo are fighting a special grade cursed spirit. oh, and gojo can’t get into the school grounds to give his much needed help. but we get to see a lot of the student’s cursed techniques, and cursed tools, and learn a little more backstory on these very loveable characters. i am just so obsessed with itadori and todo’s friendship and dynamic, it’s actually unreal, and i cannot wait for more.

[oliwia:P]

don't you even dare to say that megumi is not in love with itadori

[Lauren Lanz]

Kind of surprised that one fight (and not even against a main antagonist) was dragged out for an entire volume…. the art style also makes it hard for me to understand what’s happening sometimes.
GOJO AT THE END THOUGH!! He and Megumi make up for everything.

[Shawna Finnigan]

Volume six veers away from the school competition and returns to more standard fighting with curses, but it is still a pretty enjoyable volume. Hanami has always been one of my favorite curses. I love the pure intent and kindness toward the earth that they demonstrate in all of their actions.

[ollie]

Gojo is so hot and that’s coming from me, a lesbian.

(warning: extreme bias is going on here, i WILL rate every volume 5 stars and i WILL praise every line i don’t care)
↑ do not trust me. ALSO I’VE SEEN THE ANIME BTW.

this volume was mostly fighting but we got our babies working together finally!! seeing the kyoto and tokyo school come together to fight a common enemy was really nice to see 🤭 and the way maki and megumi worked together to fight hanami was amazinggg. they were so smooth with it, you can tell they have lots of experience with each other. good teamwork all around my loves 😚

megumi saying “i’ll kill you if you die again!” and itadori responding with “i guess i can’t go dying on ya then.” is all you need to know to like them together. LOVE ITADORI IN THIS BTW LIKE YESSS OUR BABY IS GROWING AND USING BLACK FLASH WE LOVE YOUUU. him and todo = elite duo

I LOVE SEEING GOJO BE THE STRONGESTTTT!! that’s my baby right there! (he’s a grown man) they grow up so fast..no but seriously seeing his abilities like hollow purple is so cool cause he’s literally just THAT powerful. he freaking twisted a guy’s limbs without a second thought like damn. but he’s so cute and silly the way he said “we all good!” was so 🤭🤭 (ok but the guy that wanted to make him into a hanger rack like stop 😭😭 the way he went feral when gojo showed up was so funny…i mean real though ngl that’s a correct response)

[sarah سارة ꫂ᭪]

seeing gojo perform hollow purple on paper has me physically weak

[₊ ˚ ale ࿓ ♡ ⋆｡˚]

papi Gojo, that's it.

[Arturia Pendragon📚]

Es un 3.5 💫

[Victor The Reader]

A giant curse with arms for eyes has interrupted the competition, and Itadori and his opponent Todo will work together and use their full jujutsu skills to defeat it while something else is brewing in the background. A (100%/Outstanding)

[Ian Morando]

Besto friendo.

[mery☆]

hanami: your (not so) friendly neighbourhood environmentally conscious flower villain :))

[aamna]

What mahito went thru later in Shibuya arc isn’t enough , I need to jump him myself

[Alexandra Elend Wolf]

3.5 stars.

“I’m different from everyone else, I pick who I want to protect. I’m the one with the least to lose!! That’s why… I’m not allowed to be the first one to fall!!”

Well, this was certainly a thrilling and actions packed volume with which I had a lot of fun.

It felt like I was breezing through it because of how many battles and action we had. I must admit that I like the change of pace quite a lot. Not because I think that the usual combo of comedy, philosophy, and action doesn't work, because it does work really well, but it is nice to have a genuinely combat-centered volume for once. Philosophizing is fun, I love to be able to get into deep thoughts and motivations a lot, but too much and it can feel too heavy. Comedy is amazing to de-stress but lean too heavily on it and everything will feel empty and superfluous. Which can also be the case with too much combat.

So yeah, I appreciated, greatly, to be able to have this moment to just bask in the gloriousness that is combat in Jujutsu Kaisen, because it is a lot of fun.

The one thing I do find honestly just hilarious to no end is the fact that we had to have a way to keep Gojo, the superpowered character, away from this early fighting in order to not end the fun too soon. It makes sense and it was well managed but, well, it is also obvious to the point that even the characters admit to it - to a degree - which only makes it funnier.

Overall, I was just cheering and having a blast through the whole thing and it felt very refreshing to read.

“Itadori, my friend. ‘Anger’ is an important trigger for sorcerers. Angering your opponent can make them degrade to a lower level. The opposite is also true. ‘Anger’ can disturb your cursed energy, and you can lose without making use of your true power.”

___________

Seeing Gojo in action is pretty cool.

Honestly, this whole volume was just so interesting and cool.

RTC.

That cover, I don't like that cover. Though, so far, covers and content have had nothing to do with each other.

Anyway, I'm so ready to see these fights because they are an absolute delight and completely awesome.

"El alma es una mezcla de instinto y razonamiento. Y el porcentaje de la mezcla no lo pueden decir los demás."

Maldiciones de grado especial interrumpen los enfrentamientos de intercambio.

- Fusshiguro tiene excelentes técnicas cuerpo a cuerpo.

- Maki demasiado habilidosa. Me sigue pareciendo un personaje super interesante.

- El conjuro de Todo es increíble, una gran ventaja en batalla. No es solo fuerza bruta, tiene una gran capacidad de análisis de sus oponentes. Vamos a aplaudir.

- Destello negro la nueva técnica de Itadori está a otro nivel. Igualando el récord de Nanami.

- Si todos los villanos se hubieran enfrentado a Gojo este manga no hubiera pasado del primer volumen. Nueva demostración de su poder. Increíble.

- Hanami a pesar de que no vimos todo su poder, quedó en evidencia que es una maldición de nivel especial muy poderosa.

Enfrentamientos increíbles, personajes muy bien construidos. Sin embargo, al final la distracción sirvió. El objetivo está cumplido, el grupo de maldiciones está ganando pequeñas batallas que a futuro podrían ser un problema para nuestros protagonistas.

"Now, shall we get cooking?"

* Inumaki is bad af
* Yuji and Todo = the dream team
* When old man popped off with his guitar technique 😳
* Gojo. I'm obsessed. End of story.

I sometimes find the fighting scenes hard to follow because of the drawing style, but pairing it with the anime helps.

[Ash’s reading corner ✨🌈]

GOJOOO MY SON !! 🥺

[hope]

Time to leave. I'm not so proud that I would go up against Satoru Gojo.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH definitely my favourite volume yet 🤭 the fight with hanami was so freaking good. i love todo and yuji's friendship 🥺 and gojo!? the hype around his character is so deserved, he's so cool and funny and amazing and badass and powerful and EVERYTHING. he literally steals my breath away!!

[灰]

The best way to get over past traumatic experiences and almost dying is by playing some BASEBAALLLLLLLLLL !

(Oh and Gojo Sensei *wink wink*) I think it’s the white hair that’s doing it for me … (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

[Oksana]

Might be my favorite volume (so far)
Todo and Yuji together are 👏👏👏
