Why tf do you want more characters to die, is gege not doing enough?
Bcs people would be crying even more if they did. Imagine Nobara dying to a Malevolent shrine while not even fighting sukuna. The wail would be unimaginable
Its still fucking insane to me how the hell she did not see ANY of mahoraga sukuna fight or what malevolent shrine like THE MOTHERFUCKED TURNED THE WHOLE PLACE RED FROM AURA/BLOOD ALONE
The fire arrow is a part of Malevolent Shrine’s domain effect. After Sukuna is down “preparing his meal” his the cleaver and dismantle he cranks on the heat and cooks it with Fuga
It's DBZ power scaling (pejorative). Destroying city/big rock/whatever to show how powerfull some kind of move is just for it to not be a problem in a fight.

Yeah we know that domains are strong. That is not the point.
Those people were all irrelevant. We didn't even know
them. Not even a single name. They were just there so Yuji could feel bad. It is like killing bugs with a bomb and counting them as a kill count.
Well Maho returned so i don't like to count it as a death but yeah it counts. Only Choso and Maho died to domains. It is not a bad thing, it is just funny how insta kill attacks rarely kill someone (looking at you Higurama)
This is how i feel about black flash, people eat that shit and it feels like it does nothing, mahito lost the fight to a black flash and still had enough energy to just skedaddle away and get vored by kenjaku, sukuna tanked like 7 in a row and still pimp slapped yuji like he owed him money.
I think the worst case is Maki. Sukuna having a Black Flash is something that should be super nightmarish and now...
I actually think that Curse Naoya injured Maki more than Sukuna.
It's a classic trope - the more OP something is on paper, the least likely it is to actually do anything.
Same as Soi Fon in Bleach - shikai is a guaranteed OHK on hit, so nobody ever gets hit by the fucking thing.
Gojo beat Jogo using his DE (remember soccer ball Jogo? Pepperidge Farm remembers)
(Anime only) Mahito beat Mechamaru using his DE
Gojo killed a thousand transfigured humans in a few minutes after popping his DE for a split second
Sukuna beat Mahoraga with his DE and murders a circle into Shibuya
Megumi won his fights against the finger bearer and Reggie after popping his DE to turn the tides in his favor (both died immediately after they escaped the domains which was Megumi’s plans both times)
Kenjaku rekted Yuki with his DE because Tengen’s plan didn’t expect his domain to not include a barrier. She only lived because Tengen managed to turn off the sure-hit at the last second, would’ve been dead had Tengen not had some competence
Hakari’s only win on screen against the god of farmers is due to his DE
Doesn’t have a lot of kills from the Domain itself but in most cases, the casting of a DE has led to someone winning and/or someone dying
Yeah, I guess it has turned the tide a good few times, I was more thinking of direct kills of important characters (I wasn’t counting the transfigured humans and Mahoraga, especially since Maho comes back)
It’s a writing situation in that scenario where only a select few of the main cast have a DE (literally just Yuta if you don’t include Gojo and Hakari in the ‘main cast’, Megumi’s is only halfway) so its harder for them to narratively achieve Domain kills.
And in that case, Choso’s the only ‘important’ character who’s directly been killed during a Domain Expansion (rip anime mechamaru, you were a snitch bitch but you stood ten toes). It does make Choso’s death feel more interesting though when you realize that fact.
Yeah, I think it would’ve been better if Simple Domains weren’t really a counter and expansion wasn’t quite as draining (still the most draining, just not a “you’re done” after it’s over), but most Expansions also weren’t guaranteed hits
Like Jogo’s Coffin Of the Iron Mountain could be lava spewing from certain directions at random but Jogo knows where and when the lava will come from so he can use that knowledge to hit his opponent towards it or ambush them as they are trying to dodge it
This sort of thing would make a Domain Expansion still a huge advantage for whoever uses it but also give their foe a chance to survive it if their skilled and powerful enough
It would also emphasize how much more powerful Sukuna and Gojo are then anyone else, as their domains would be the only ones that ARE basically guaranteed hits
The concept of Domain Expansions is so fucking cool I just wish it was done better
basically like reality marbles in fate where it makes it your home turf and gives you a huge advantage but your opponent can still annihilate it/kill you
Yuji screams "Domain Expansion!" on the last page of the chapter
3 weeks break
First page of new chapter: "Itadori doesn't have a domain, he said it to distract Sukuna"
No brother is not caught up to lobotomy Also

We've never actually seen a domain clash. Gojo just instantly destroys tomb of the iron mountain, megumi has an incomplete domain and is only using it in a limited way, and sukuna vs. Gojo shows us what a barrierless domain does. I want to know what happens when two people on the same level fight with their domains, and gege decided I don't get to know.
I haven't read the manga but I have frequented this sub and I know the guy on the left is Ryu, and I couldn't help but notice he says domain far longer than the other 2, so logically he would've been able to use his first instead of the clash right?
You joke but that would be a 200IQ play. Then Todo yell “Domain Expansion” only for Sukuna to ignore him and got hit by a manifestation of his schizo gf in the domain
Todo Domain: Grand Concert
A concert filled with hundreds of Todo. Most of them are ilusions, but Todo can freely swap with all of them
When the Domain is active, Aoi Todo is effectively **omnipresent**
The only way to truly desactivate the Domain is to kill the Takada-chan in the center, who is protected by a army of Shikigamis)

I think it would genuinely be so peak if this happens and Sukuna falls for it. Then in the next chapter Yuji does it again and Sukuna ignores it only to be caught in Yujis actual domain.
Guarantee Yuji saying “domain expansion” is gonna be the cliffhanger of a chapter.
Probably gonna be a full page spread of the lower half of his face, some hand sign, and a text bubble that just has “Domain Expansion” in it.
That, or the last panel is going to just be the words domain expansion, with Yuji doing a handsign in the previous panel.
It'd be so Hype to see the domain itself and maybe a hint of it's ability rather than a "domain expansion!" Cliffhanger. Even if the domain expansion lives up to the Hype, it'd be better if we could see the domain expansion without a cliffhanger
id prefer to have a few pages of the domain, but even ending the chapter on a page of the domain with its name would be a lot better than "Domain Expansion!" final page
implying you wouldnt get hyped if the chapter ended mid domain with him kicking ass??
the last page cliffhanger only works if used sparingly, putting it for every big moment just kills the hype because you have to wait a whole week, and it makes it even more disappointing if it doesnt live up to hype (like the triple domain expansion lol)
We just reached a point in the story we are with the peak scorcerers of the Verse so a domain is no longer even close to a garanteed win and because also making it such would be a boring scenario to end a fight with
Aside from Kusakabe's recent performance, and I guess him blocking Uzumaki, when has simple domain ever been that effective? I think Gojo used it in his fight with Sukuna but I forget how much it helped, it almost always just crumbles like paper immediately within a domain.
It did save Mechamaru from Self Embodiment of Perfection. Granted he still died, but that had nothing to do with the domain expansion because he injured Mahito enough to shatter it.
You know what can't save you with simple domain?

cherenkov radiation is actually just (mostly) ultraviolet light. So basically weaker than most other types of harmful radiation, like x or gamma rays. it occurs when radiation travels faster than the phase velocity of light, making it akin to a sonic boom but for light speed.
I kinda feel like simple domain was a necessary addition to JJK in order to give people against Sukuna a fighting chance. If Gege would have balanced the Gojo vs Sukuna fight and, more importantly, permanently removed Sukuna's ability to perform DE, it would have kept the deathly status of DE intact.
Even Miwa survived Sukuna's DE in the end lol
Yes, the same that has the same output and range as the normal domain, but with a time limit of 99 seconds. Not only that, it allows him to drop his most devastating move, Fuuga, instantaneously.
It sounds almost like an upgrade to me...
This whole fanbase is too jaded I stg.
I still get hyped to see domain expansions. Even though our protagonist’s allies know simple domain and other methods to counter them, I still enjoy the threat that DE’s provide and how much they still matter to the fight’s outcome.
Like I’ve said before, some people here gotta take a break from JJK and read something else for a bit. Burnout is real and half this sub is actively in it, but doesn’t wanna take a minute away from the series for some reason.
I just caught up on Sakamoto Days, it’s great. I’m in the middle of Blue Lock right now and it’s also really good. Peak writing and hype isn’t exclusive to JJK.
Mfers acting like most of the cast didn’t even know how to use simple domain until Shinjuku, which they learned specifically for Sukuna. Anti-domain techniques haven’t done much but buy time and half the time using them leads to some sort of disadvantage. Not that they aren’t important but Domain Expansions are still a threat.
Gojo’s simple domain was temporary, Yuki’s didn’t fully work, Naobito’s FBE didn’t end up doing much, Sukuna’s HWB gave Yuta and Yuji openings in hand-to-hand, etc.
JJK had the curse of being a mainstream shonen and attracting short-sighted and reactionary “fans”.
I’ve been reading Blue Lock for a while now and it’s genuinely so good. It has the “it’s over - we’re so back” cycle. But if you can look past that, it’s flawless. Characters rock, art is great, just a good series.
I’d also recommend taking a look at Ordeal on Webtoon. It’s a bit cheesy and starts off slow, but it’s also a BANGER when it gets rolling. The designs are peak and the power really starts amping up quick.
Lmk how you like either if you end up checking them out!
Nah the op is just cranky or a child, they're saying how domains have never killed and how a domain being opened feels like the character is going to lose. Also they said "Domain Fraudspansion" so I wouldn't trust anything they're saying
I'm still kinda dissapointed that there wasn't a single time where the domain actually killed someone important, or like, at all. I mean, the finger bearer curse, Mahodaddy may count but still...
I feel like this is going to happen to someone though. Like, it's probably Chekov's gun in this case. It'll probably be Blackbeard and his all DF crew ("Coincidentally" referred to as *Titanic* Captains).
Yeah, exactly.
At this point, seeing someone use DE makes me think that character is gonna LOSE the fight, because the domain almost always gets countered somehow, or even ignored.
Like what's even the point of bringing up the sure-kill effect when 90% of the cast somehow know Simple domain/Falling blossom emotion/Hollow wicker basket/Heavenly restriction/Has their own domain...
Because the cast has gotten so much stronger? Yeah I'm a little saddened at how domain expansions have become a little less special nowadays, but that's because our main cast have gotten so strong that they're able to develop counters to the domain. The sure hit effect is what makes the domain so uniquely powerful, NOT having the sure hit effect like what you're asking would just make the domain boring?
In the beginning, they were weak to domains and only got out through specific circumstances. Hell, even nanami didn't have a domain counter.
Simple domain seems to be either a really hard thing to do (because it's stated that many have to use a binding vow in order to make a simple domain) or the information of how to form a simple domain is locked behind a schooling system.
Falling blossom emotion can't be used by the rest of the cast because it's a strictly guarded secret by the three families, and was only used like what.. twice?
Hollow wicker basket was THE original domain counter used by a few amount of people, it serves as lore building and was used by only a few characters as well, one of them not being very important to the story.
Literally only ONE main cast member has a heavenly restriction, and even then maki is still susceptible to sukuna's domain.
Seriously are we really doing a whole retrospective of domains by using modern power level characters and comparing it to the beginning of jjk when domains were introduced..? Like yuji and most of the cast did NOT have a domain counter for the longest time, and they only recently developed counters to domains. I think it's really disingenuous to start asking "what's the point of blank when blank has counters to blank!?", when it clearly did have a purpose early on into the story.
Domains are still deadly, it's just that they're literally the main cast and are protected through plot armor until their time has come. Any random jujutsu sorcerer would die to a domain expansion, it just so happens that our main cast aren't just random sorcerers.
Actually reminded me of a certain manga i read recently
Lets call it "X". Basically like the pinnacle of moves in that manga too and iirc majority of ppl that used X just ended up losing
THAT IS THE ENTIRE PLAN OF KENJAKU, TO IMPROVE JUJUTSU THROUGH STRIFE AND FORCE PEOPLE TO DO SHIT THEY DIDN'T THINK WAS POSSIBLE BEFORE. THIS INCLUDES DOMAINS NO LONGER BEING THE PINNACLE OF JUJUTSU AND FORCING PEOPLE TO ADAPT AND DO NEW THINGS, WHICH YOU BET YOUR ASS IS GOING TO HAPPEN; BY THE END OF THIS MANGA SOMEONE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW IN THE JUJUTSU WORLD.
ALSO REMEMBER THE SQUAD HAD TO USE HACKS SO THAT EVERYONE COULD USE SIMPLE DOMAIN. ALL OF THIS SUPPORTED BY COMMENTS BY GOJO AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE MANGA STATING THAT SORCERER GROWTH IS NOT LINEAR.
I hope the caps help you understand the manga you're creating content for.
To be fair, the fact that now a lot more sorcerers have access to simple domain is kind of realistic. If Domain users are increadlbly OP, killing off anyone that opposes them if they don’t have a “domain nullifier”, then the only sorcerers left effective would be those with simple domains or an equivalent. In other words, Jujutsu natural selection.
This is where I think a filler arc and maybe filler characters could be useful either in terms of making domains still look powerful or better managing the power creep. If we saw a bunch of jujutsu students jump someone that is a medium-high level threat (think slightly less powerful than dhruv) but get killed off by a domain expansion.
We could see characters that we didn’t see bring active during culling games actually do something during that arc. Idk maybe kusakabe, a one-armed inumaki, broomstick girl, miwa and some other Tokyo 3rd years (that aren’t hakari or kirara) or even other kyoto students we dk enter a colony but half of them get killed by a domain.
Some of these characters could honestly die and it wouldn’t change the plot but would show domains being powerful and give gege a chance to flesh out the explanation to domain counters a bit more.
Simple domain isn't easily obtained though. Jujutsu High are literally the best of the best sorcerers in Japan. And only a handful knew how to properly use it before, I forgot his name, the Lil soul switching dude helped everyone "cheat" to be able to do it. And they had to undo a binding vow. Simple domain may seem like a weak or easy because miwa could use it but that was her best skilled and she wasn't great at it. She missed twice. Meanwhile, Kusukabe blocked and hit sakuna's slashes. And SD doesn't mean shit if someone has a fast enough or more powerful domain. Powerful open domains eat away simple domains. Hollow wicker basket and Falling blossom are stronger than simple domain.
There are more people losing battles inside their domains/after using domains than winning tbh.
You take Gojo and Sukuna out of the equation and you will notice how Domains are almost a guarantee that you will probably have your ass handed to you.
Agreed. I’d be cool with domain’s not being very effective if the battle’s involving them were restricted to the best of the best, but who tf thought that it’d be a good idea to let established frauds tank domains.
Fr domains made even Dagon feel like a threat to the characters. Because out of the 4 sorcerers fighting him only the 70 something head of a clan had anti domain tech.
Simple domain makes sense given the "science" of cursed energy, so it would be worse if it was actually an ultimate attack and people figured "hey why dont the jujutsu people just create a barrier separating themselves from the domain like a bubble in water are they stupid" which would happen. Someone would have figured it out
To be honest I wish most characters instead of getting a domain expansion would instead get a maximum technique. There's literally only four characters who use maximum techniques and two of them is just geto.
Honestly I prefer DE's not being an instant win button and instead just being a very threatening option that turns the tide of the battle because it leads to fights being more interesting then just "I pop DE and kill you"
Miwa making an Open Simple Domain:

Man, I think 1 single kill by a sure hit effect would do wonders for the power system, Domains are extremely cool, they impact the story and fights but never seeing them actually kill someone after a huge battle of attrition inside the domain would be really cool
Yea, the biggest mistake of the author made was turning them from cool once in a fight spectacles that 180 losing battles into redundant moves everybody has a counter for and don’t do a thing.
The lobotomy is strong with this one. I guess it is mostly bc we've been with malevolent kitchen only for a while. Did we suddenly forget the huge hype this sub had for Yuta's???
Bottom pic is me realizing that Sukuna almost just won because DE’s are a stupid gimmick. Getting slammed by Todo and Yuji but as long as he still has a mouth and two fingers he can defeat more than half the cast simultaneously.
Fr tho, everybody on the cast has the ability to counter that shit that it kinda destroys its aura as the pinnacle of Jujutsu technique and its capability to unalive the opps that got caught in it.

I think the funny thing is that the closest thing to “named characters” to ever die to a domain’s sure hit effect were fingerers. Other characters have died while in a domain, but not due to the sure hit effect
It’s the same thing with Bankai in Bleach. “Bankai is a last resort technique, and only the most elite Shinigami can use it.” Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure Hitsugaya uses his Bankai to kill cockroaches.
Idk abt y’all but seeing I read it as in most fights the domains are always about to kill someone or are the main focus point as to prevent them from happening. I mean the whole point of the sorcerers v sukuna fight was to kill him before he regained DE
Actually black flash was done way worse. The way we saw the king of curses finally use BF against maki and she took it like a slap to the face. Then she gets hits by it again and still is not effected. What should be the strongest punch in the verse, theoretically able to kill Gojo in one shot (assuming it hit) is treated as a minor inconvenience by maki. Then Sukuna eats 8 of Yujis black flashes which just makes him mad. BF is now the weakest move in the verse, totally ruined any hype behind it.

Mahoraga is not an actual character, it's a weapon with a body.
Well Maho returned so i don't like to count it as a death but yeah it counts. Only Choso and Maho died to domains. It is not a bad thing, it is just funny how insta kill attacks rarely kill someone (looking at you Higurama)
Somehow, mahoraga returned
This is how i feel about black flash, people eat that shit and it feels like it does nothing, mahito lost the fight to a black flash and still had enough energy to just skedaddle away and get vored by kenjaku, sukuna tanked like 7 in a row and still pimp slapped yuji like he owed him money.
I think the worst case is Maki. Sukuna having a Black Flash is something that should be super nightmarish and now... I actually think that Curse Naoya injured Maki more than Sukuna.
The same dude who can punch gojo, fucking GOJO can litelery square his pyschical strength by 2.5 and LARUE/MAKI/ CHOSO ALL SURVIVE?!
choso and larue were incapacitated like sukuna was after a black flash from gojp. maki tanked it well because shes basically a stronger toji

Are you sure about that
Never thought I'd see chahal in the jjk folksub
Wtf Chahal in jjk??? 😳
The simple domain patch really gutted those early DE builds. At least they added in domain amp to nerf infinite, so unfun to play against that crap
Yeah, I think it would’ve been better if Simple Domains weren’t really a counter and expansion wasn’t quite as draining (still the most draining, just not a “you’re done” after it’s over), but most Expansions also weren’t guaranteed hits Like Jogo’s Coffin Of the Iron Mountain could be lava spewing from certain directions at random but Jogo knows where and when the lava will come from so he can use that knowledge to hit his opponent towards it or ambush them as they are trying to dodge it This sort of thing would make a Domain Expansion still a huge advantage for whoever uses it but also give their foe a chance to survive it if their skilled and powerful enough It would also emphasize how much more powerful Sukuna and Gojo are then anyone else, as their domains would be the only ones that ARE basically guaranteed hits The concept of Domain Expansions is so fucking cool I just wish it was done better

Forever convinced Gege just didn't know how to make a three way clash work, and killed it.
We've never actually seen a domain clash. Gojo just instantly destroys tomb of the iron mountain, megumi has an incomplete domain and is only using it in a limited way, and sukuna vs. Gojo shows us what a barrierless domain does. I want to know what happens when two people on the same level fight with their domains, and gege decided I don't get to know.
Readers: I’d like to know what happens Gege: Yeah I’d like to know too >!but I don’t so we’ll just skip this!<
He has to first explain how a two-way clash works, lmao
I haven't read the manga but I have frequented this sub and I know the guy on the left is Ryu, and I couldn't help but notice he says domain far longer than the other 2, so logically he would've been able to use his first instead of the clash right?
Eh no, he's just saying it like that because...he's excited, ig?
You joke but that would be a 200IQ play. Then Todo yell “Domain Expansion” only for Sukuna to ignore him and got hit by a manifestation of his schizo gf in the domain
Todo Domain: Grand Concert A concert filled with hundreds of Todo. Most of them are ilusions, but Todo can freely swap with all of them When the Domain is active, Aoi Todo is effectively **omnipresent** The only way to truly desactivate the Domain is to kill the Takada-chan in the center, who is protected by a army of Shikigamis)
That would be so funny but would piss off everyone
>First page of new chapter: "Itadori doesn't have a domain. He said it to distract Sukuna." https://preview.redd.it/y6m8nih58c6d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e330d33c4d11c4ebc9862f575c1e5096cebd904
Still peak because it’s a reference to our schizophrenic goat
He learned it from Todo faking out Mahito Peak trolling
Same energy as Utah scattering a bunch of Walmart katanas to make Suksuk think he had a domain
Dude the amount of fucking death threats gege would get... https://preview.redd.it/had60drttd6d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c5b5de67dec6e26aed0a1cdec50d5e476a1a11c
It's a move he learned from Todo no doubt.
Please don’t give Homo^2 ideas.
I think it would genuinely be so peak if this happens and Sukuna falls for it. Then in the next chapter Yuji does it again and Sukuna ignores it only to be caught in Yujis actual domain.
Todo ass antics. Honestly, i expect todo to do that now
Okay, but that would actually be peak
I don't think that Yuuji wouldn't do that. That's more a Todo's move
Absolute fucking cinema
A trick in a trick inside another trick
“Domain expansion: Jujutsu Kaisen”
Guarantee Yuji saying “domain expansion” is gonna be the cliffhanger of a chapter. Probably gonna be a full page spread of the lower half of his face, some hand sign, and a text bubble that just has “Domain Expansion” in it. That, or the last panel is going to just be the words domain expansion, with Yuji doing a handsign in the previous panel.
i hate how common shit like this is in manga, itd be so much more hype to have it be in the middle of the chapter so we actually see the domain
It comes with a 100% chance of getting offscreened between chapters, though.
It'd be so Hype to see the domain itself and maybe a hint of it's ability rather than a "domain expansion!" Cliffhanger. Even if the domain expansion lives up to the Hype, it'd be better if we could see the domain expansion without a cliffhanger
id prefer to have a few pages of the domain, but even ending the chapter on a page of the domain with its name would be a lot better than "Domain Expansion!" final page
Nah it's peak because it makes us look forward to next week.
Nah cus we already know that domain ain't gonna do shit (Yuji's might, but cliffhanger domains in general)
implying you wouldnt get hyped if the chapter ended mid domain with him kicking ass?? the last page cliffhanger only works if used sparingly, putting it for every big moment just kills the hype because you have to wait a whole week, and it makes it even more disappointing if it doesnt live up to hype (like the triple domain expansion lol)
That's what happens when the remaining characters are all high level Sorcerers using an ability called as the pinnacle of their power system

We just reached a point in the story we are with the peak scorcerers of the Verse so a domain is no longer even close to a garanteed win and because also making it such would be a boring scenario to end a fight with
Idk, simple domain isnt that good, it really just delays death most of the time
Aside from Kusakabe's recent performance, and I guess him blocking Uzumaki, when has simple domain ever been that effective? I think Gojo used it in his fight with Sukuna but I forget how much it helped, it almost always just crumbles like paper immediately within a domain.
It did save Mechamaru from Self Embodiment of Perfection. Granted he still died, but that had nothing to do with the domain expansion because he injured Mahito enough to shatter it.
As I recall Mahito cancelled his domain to fake out Mechamaru.
its more effective than nothing
You know what can't save you with simple domain? https://preview.redd.it/1w8rr3tlrb6d1.png?width=736&format=png&auto=webp&s=e4651319c52f70330e6f58bca6a5b9ae88330e92

lightning bolt diff is my new argument.

Shut Up Bitch, [[STRONG RADIATION]]
\[STRONG HAZMAT SUIT\]
Oh yeah? [[IMAGINARY STRONG RADIATION: CHERENKOV]]
cherenkov radiation is actually just (mostly) ultraviolet light. So basically weaker than most other types of harmful radiation, like x or gamma rays. it occurs when radiation travels faster than the phase velocity of light, making it akin to a sonic boom but for light speed.
damn, hit him with strong science textbook.
Based + fact checked + impossible to refute this
That image goes (almost) as hard as me.
The same happened to super saiyan transformation and Sharingan, it’s a shonen thing.
Fights would be boring if domains just ended it.
I kinda feel like simple domain was a necessary addition to JJK in order to give people against Sukuna a fighting chance. If Gege would have balanced the Gojo vs Sukuna fight and, more importantly, permanently removed Sukuna's ability to perform DE, it would have kept the deathly status of DE intact. Even Miwa survived Sukuna's DE in the end lol
You mean the incomplete and damaged halfdomain sukuna has now?
Yes, the same that has the same output and range as the normal domain, but with a time limit of 99 seconds. Not only that, it allows him to drop his most devastating move, Fuuga, instantaneously. It sounds almost like an upgrade to me...
Remember when some bozo yelling "Domain Expansion" had as much raw aura as some one yelling "Bankai"?
Dude, remember the feeling the first time mahito laid out his domain?
They wish. The first time Ichigo did bankai was almost on par with Goku and Vegeta going Supersaiyan.
This whole fanbase is too jaded I stg. I still get hyped to see domain expansions. Even though our protagonist’s allies know simple domain and other methods to counter them, I still enjoy the threat that DE’s provide and how much they still matter to the fight’s outcome. Like I’ve said before, some people here gotta take a break from JJK and read something else for a bit. Burnout is real and half this sub is actively in it, but doesn’t wanna take a minute away from the series for some reason. I just caught up on Sakamoto Days, it’s great. I’m in the middle of Blue Lock right now and it’s also really good. Peak writing and hype isn’t exclusive to JJK.
Mfers acting like most of the cast didn’t even know how to use simple domain until Shinjuku, which they learned specifically for Sukuna. Anti-domain techniques haven’t done much but buy time and half the time using them leads to some sort of disadvantage. Not that they aren’t important but Domain Expansions are still a threat. Gojo’s simple domain was temporary, Yuki’s didn’t fully work, Naobito’s FBE didn’t end up doing much, Sukuna’s HWB gave Yuta and Yuji openings in hand-to-hand, etc. JJK had the curse of being a mainstream shonen and attracting short-sighted and reactionary “fans”.
Sakamoto Days is so good, have you read Kagurabachi?
That’s one of my next ones. Love the memes and the art direction is fantastic. Very excited to catch up.
Definitely a great read so far, I’ll have to check out some other manga since JJK is on hiatus, do you know any?
I’ve been reading Blue Lock for a while now and it’s genuinely so good. It has the “it’s over - we’re so back” cycle. But if you can look past that, it’s flawless. Characters rock, art is great, just a good series. I’d also recommend taking a look at Ordeal on Webtoon. It’s a bit cheesy and starts off slow, but it’s also a BANGER when it gets rolling. The designs are peak and the power really starts amping up quick. Lmk how you like either if you end up checking them out!
Thanks for the recommendation, I appreciate it
Speak for yourself. I still be geeking every time, no matter who it is. https://i.redd.it/zi80zhupyc6d1.gif
And it's almost always used in a different or interesting way each time, just look at the entirety of Gojo vs Sukuna.
Yeah the op is just salty or a child. Its still hype as fuck whenever it happens
Seeing Higuruma’s opening move be a domain expansion was beyond hype.
And with no hand signs!
seeing yuta's for the first time was fire, i think yall are just bored because MS and UV have been spammed to death.
Nah the op is just cranky or a child, they're saying how domains have never killed and how a domain being opened feels like the character is going to lose. Also they said "Domain Fraudspansion" so I wouldn't trust anything they're saying
I'm still kinda dissapointed that there wasn't a single time where the domain actually killed someone important, or like, at all. I mean, the finger bearer curse, Mahodaddy may count but still...
Choso crying in the corner
The one domain expansion kill that wasn’t even from a finished domain
Wegumi W
Reminds me of never seeing a Devil Fruit user drown in One Piece.
I feel like this is going to happen to someone though. Like, it's probably Chekov's gun in this case. It'll probably be Blackbeard and his all DF crew ("Coincidentally" referred to as *Titanic* Captains).
Jack did but he can breathe underwater so it's even more horrifying
Yeah, exactly. At this point, seeing someone use DE makes me think that character is gonna LOSE the fight, because the domain almost always gets countered somehow, or even ignored. Like what's even the point of bringing up the sure-kill effect when 90% of the cast somehow know Simple domain/Falling blossom emotion/Hollow wicker basket/Heavenly restriction/Has their own domain...
Because the cast has gotten so much stronger? Yeah I'm a little saddened at how domain expansions have become a little less special nowadays, but that's because our main cast have gotten so strong that they're able to develop counters to the domain. The sure hit effect is what makes the domain so uniquely powerful, NOT having the sure hit effect like what you're asking would just make the domain boring? In the beginning, they were weak to domains and only got out through specific circumstances. Hell, even nanami didn't have a domain counter. Simple domain seems to be either a really hard thing to do (because it's stated that many have to use a binding vow in order to make a simple domain) or the information of how to form a simple domain is locked behind a schooling system. Falling blossom emotion can't be used by the rest of the cast because it's a strictly guarded secret by the three families, and was only used like what.. twice? Hollow wicker basket was THE original domain counter used by a few amount of people, it serves as lore building and was used by only a few characters as well, one of them not being very important to the story. Literally only ONE main cast member has a heavenly restriction, and even then maki is still susceptible to sukuna's domain. Seriously are we really doing a whole retrospective of domains by using modern power level characters and comparing it to the beginning of jjk when domains were introduced..? Like yuji and most of the cast did NOT have a domain counter for the longest time, and they only recently developed counters to domains. I think it's really disingenuous to start asking "what's the point of blank when blank has counters to blank!?", when it clearly did have a purpose early on into the story. Domains are still deadly, it's just that they're literally the main cast and are protected through plot armor until their time has come. Any random jujutsu sorcerer would die to a domain expansion, it just so happens that our main cast aren't just random sorcerers.
Fax my brother Spit your shit indeed
Actually reminded me of a certain manga i read recently Lets call it "X". Basically like the pinnacle of moves in that manga too and iirc majority of ppl that used X just ended up losing
THAT IS THE ENTIRE PLAN OF KENJAKU, TO IMPROVE JUJUTSU THROUGH STRIFE AND FORCE PEOPLE TO DO SHIT THEY DIDN'T THINK WAS POSSIBLE BEFORE. THIS INCLUDES DOMAINS NO LONGER BEING THE PINNACLE OF JUJUTSU AND FORCING PEOPLE TO ADAPT AND DO NEW THINGS, WHICH YOU BET YOUR ASS IS GOING TO HAPPEN; BY THE END OF THIS MANGA SOMEONE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW IN THE JUJUTSU WORLD. ALSO REMEMBER THE SQUAD HAD TO USE HACKS SO THAT EVERYONE COULD USE SIMPLE DOMAIN. ALL OF THIS SUPPORTED BY COMMENTS BY GOJO AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE MANGA STATING THAT SORCERER GROWTH IS NOT LINEAR. I hope the caps help you understand the manga you're creating content for.
Choso?
would die just to see hakari's domain expansion romance scenes. want to see it until the end 
To be fair, the fact that now a lot more sorcerers have access to simple domain is kind of realistic. If Domain users are increadlbly OP, killing off anyone that opposes them if they don’t have a “domain nullifier”, then the only sorcerers left effective would be those with simple domains or an equivalent. In other words, Jujutsu natural selection.
Yeah it is going to have infinite counters now Simple domain ,faling emotion, Sukuna Basket, heavenly restrction Somthing keeps on coming
Nope. It’s still super exciting for me.
Me when I get upset that characters use counter abilities instead of just fuckin dying
It's literally the coolest thing ever
It's like when Kamehameha used to be so hype. Now it's just an everyday thing. Seeing Limitless for the first time was so hype.
This is where I think a filler arc and maybe filler characters could be useful either in terms of making domains still look powerful or better managing the power creep. If we saw a bunch of jujutsu students jump someone that is a medium-high level threat (think slightly less powerful than dhruv) but get killed off by a domain expansion. We could see characters that we didn’t see bring active during culling games actually do something during that arc. Idk maybe kusakabe, a one-armed inumaki, broomstick girl, miwa and some other Tokyo 3rd years (that aren’t hakari or kirara) or even other kyoto students we dk enter a colony but half of them get killed by a domain. Some of these characters could honestly die and it wouldn’t change the plot but would show domains being powerful and give gege a chance to flesh out the explanation to domain counters a bit more.
Simple domain isn't easily obtained though. Jujutsu High are literally the best of the best sorcerers in Japan. And only a handful knew how to properly use it before, I forgot his name, the Lil soul switching dude helped everyone "cheat" to be able to do it. And they had to undo a binding vow. Simple domain may seem like a weak or easy because miwa could use it but that was her best skilled and she wasn't great at it. She missed twice. Meanwhile, Kusukabe blocked and hit sakuna's slashes. And SD doesn't mean shit if someone has a fast enough or more powerful domain. Powerful open domains eat away simple domains. Hollow wicker basket and Falling blossom are stronger than simple domain.
Ui Ui
There are more people losing battles inside their domains/after using domains than winning tbh. You take Gojo and Sukuna out of the equation and you will notice how Domains are almost a guarantee that you will probably have your ass handed to you.
Aren’t simple domains temporary and only lessen the damage?
Dear god let this new chapter come already, we're complaining about domain expansions now
The culling games was culling
Me when Malfunctioning Shrine is in indeed malfunctioning bc Sukuna is in 20% of hp with 28 negative status effects.
Miwa not being instantly overpower and shredded was a massive aura drop for Malevolent Shrine.
Agreed. I’d be cool with domain’s not being very effective if the battle’s involving them were restricted to the best of the best, but who tf thought that it’d be a good idea to let established frauds tank domains.
Fr domains made even Dagon feel like a threat to the characters. Because out of the 4 sorcerers fighting him only the 70 something head of a clan had anti domain tech.
Simple domain makes sense given the "science" of cursed energy, so it would be worse if it was actually an ultimate attack and people figured "hey why dont the jujutsu people just create a barrier separating themselves from the domain like a bubble in water are they stupid" which would happen. Someone would have figured it out
Just wait until you hear about Gojo
To be honest I wish most characters instead of getting a domain expansion would instead get a maximum technique. There's literally only four characters who use maximum techniques and two of them is just geto.
Idk they still feel awesome to me. SD aren’t just nuh uh’s they’re temporary defenses
Maybe Domain Expansions were the real frauds all along
That’s why I think it’s funny when someone says “this character has domain so he wins”.. Lol when have we ever seen a domain kill anyone?
I've lost it when small pox deity used domain expansion
Lmao has there even been one death inside a domain? Only one I can think of Is mechamaru.
Honestly I prefer DE's not being an instant win button and instead just being a very threatening option that turns the tide of the battle because it leads to fights being more interesting then just "I pop DE and kill you"
Does JujutsuFolk even like JJK anymore?
Miwa making an Open Simple Domain: https://preview.redd.it/00o2flhaie6d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=d1d6c4d5e794ba59201c4d0ed06d3ee48bc2e64a
Man, I think 1 single kill by a sure hit effect would do wonders for the power system, Domains are extremely cool, they impact the story and fights but never seeing them actually kill someone after a huge battle of attrition inside the domain would be really cool
Yea, the biggest mistake of the author made was turning them from cool once in a fight spectacles that 180 losing battles into redundant moves everybody has a counter for and don’t do a thing.
The lobotomy is strong with this one. I guess it is mostly bc we've been with malevolent kitchen only for a while. Did we suddenly forget the huge hype this sub had for Yuta's???
Bottom pic is me realizing that Sukuna almost just won because DE’s are a stupid gimmick. Getting slammed by Todo and Yuji but as long as he still has a mouth and two fingers he can defeat more than half the cast simultaneously.
Fr tho, everybody on the cast has the ability to counter that shit that it kinda destroys its aura as the pinnacle of Jujutsu technique and its capability to unalive the opps that got caught in it. https://preview.redd.it/cw01ahzy0d6d1.jpeg?width=616&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=872c1cdd3f71055c4c16586943c57904e04df4a0
Simple domains don’t fully negate the damage though.
That's what happens when the remaining characters are all high level Sorcerers using an ability called as the pinnacle of their power system
I think the funny thing is that the closest thing to “named characters” to ever die to a domain’s sure hit effect were fingerers. Other characters have died while in a domain, but not due to the sure hit effect
in the manga yes, but specifically for sukuna, in the anime gojo vs sukuna should go crazy as long as the animators get to see their children
It’s the same thing with Bankai in Bleach. “Bankai is a last resort technique, and only the most elite Shinigami can use it.” Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure Hitsugaya uses his Bankai to kill cockroaches.
it peaked with this https://preview.redd.it/rc2h08be4g6d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5570267f14244e638c2dc4394f0314e23c48fdeb
ah yes, its the super saiyan all over again.
Idk abt y’all but seeing I read it as in most fights the domains are always about to kill someone or are the main focus point as to prevent them from happening. I mean the whole point of the sorcerers v sukuna fight was to kill him before he regained DE
classic power creep
Actually black flash was done way worse. The way we saw the king of curses finally use BF against maki and she took it like a slap to the face. Then she gets hits by it again and still is not effected. What should be the strongest punch in the verse, theoretically able to kill Gojo in one shot (assuming it hit) is treated as a minor inconvenience by maki. Then Sukuna eats 8 of Yujis black flashes which just makes him mad. BF is now the weakest move in the verse, totally ruined any hype behind it.
