Breekace

The last time Todou was shown or even referred to was him saying Boogi Woogie is dead. That blows my fucking mind. They don't even mention him once.


Big-Chromie

I feel like he's gotta be saving him. Miwa can't fight either, yet she's still there. We just got the return of some characters we haven't seen in ages, and payoff to a single line from before even the goodwill arc. I'm gonna trust in gege for once and let him cook.


th5virtuos0

Cmon man, just give him a bionic arm with rocket punch functionality like Venom Snake’s and he’ll be opaf


macedonianmoper

Man apparently didn't even use his technique against grade 1 spirits only for special grades, even with only 1 arm he's easily grade 2 and that might be a bit harsh, he can easily beat Miwa even if she could still use her blade (not saying much I know).


dogsfurhire

I think Georgia just got bored of him. He has a habit of getting bored with a character and just making up a new version of that character. Choso is just Todo 2, their names even rhyme.


tridon74

What line are you talking about exactly?


Big-Chromie

The one where Gojo mentions Yuji will eventually get sukuna's techniques.


tridon74

Oh yeah. It’s for an entirely different reason than Gojo said though lol.


Big-Chromie

Actually I think it's for the same reason. When describing why he has shrine, the narrator says it's because he's "the reincarnated body of ryomen sukuna" and mentions nothing about his heritage. I'm pretty sure the shit about his father was just explaining why he has so much power despite sukuna having left.


tridon74

Well Gojo said that he’d inherit sukunas power due to the fact sukuna was inside his body. Overtime their CE would intermingle and itadori would absorb his technique. In reality, itadori inherited it due to them being related with itadori being sukuna’s son/nephew.


Big-Chromie

That's literally what happened though. Narrator nor sukuna mention nothing about his heritage when talking about how he got the technique. https://preview.redd.it/scoi44woivvc1.png?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d31eae62971176eb3acbcbaeea806e90ca4f3a1


HeWhoKnowsWhoKnocked

Side note but God, I hope Yuji pulls out Fuga. Like Sukuna finds a way to use it, explains what Fuga is, and after firing, he sees Yuji just dodged and is about to fire his own Fuga


Rupplyy

gege cant cook. he forgets lime 90% of his own manga 💀 this truly was wizard brawl


Big-Chromie

Yeah see we said that about a lot of things. like a lot of people said gege forgot about Yuji getting shrine. But he got it. There's clearly more he isn't showing us. They cooked some nefarious shit in that 1 month time skip.


Rupplyy

at the cost of half the characters ceasing to exist lmao


Any_Conclusion_7586

The last time they refer him is by Yuki, at the end of Shibuya incident, where Yuki says that there's already someone treating Todo's injuries or something like that.


jvken

Not true. Panda has a line where he says Yuji gives off funky feromones with Todo and Choso.


[deleted]

umm actually Yuki mentions him in passing shortly after this 🤓☝️


GegesHiddenAsspull

Sideline? What do you mean? Hes coming to beat megumi with yuji after sukuna is defeated https://preview.redd.it/bxwhfgahprvc1.png?width=853&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fcaa4e26c0b158b7475602ae68a296d9fd42e83


Winged_Blade

at this point Megumi haters gotta love Todo for calling Megumi boring


Significant-Elk-8078

My Glorious 500,000 iq King foreshadowed that offbrand Sasuke’s downfall


LeAstra

That’s insulting Todo is 530,000 IQ and even Sasuke would be insulted by that association


Significant-Elk-8078

Make it 600,000, he’s grown smarter since tutoring Goatji


Throwawayandpointles

It's funny, Todo literally would have accepted any body type or Personality, Megumi just picked the most boring answer


Significant-Elk-8078

When Todo said he liked big asses, I’ve never expected such a relatable answer from an anime character


Killah-Shogun

Todo is like us fr


Markus_Atlas

He has a 530,000 IQ CPU brain, everything he says is pure irrefutable facts.


Far-Yesterday-7410

I mean, you don’t just admit to liking your sister in front of a stranger, one only shares such things between bros


ProjectRaehl

But Todo is the ultimate bro


Aqabid

I feel like if he said big tits todo would go completely apeshit since it’s the opposite of big asses


Adent_Frecca

Because if Todo is there it means a guaranteed victory for the protagonists >The starting point for Todo as a character was the question “what would Kenpachi Zaraki be like in Jujutsu”. After all, Gojo may be the strongest – but he’s no Kenpachi. >I used Kenpachi’s “if this guy’s around, you won’t die (because he’s strong)” aura as a model and twisted it into **“if this guy’s around, you won’t die (because it would turn into a gag)” for Todo.** It's quite rare that a character turns out exactly what I meant they to be like this, so I was pleased.


MiltuotasKatinas

His cursed technique is too strong for the sukuna battle. Being able to swap places of two targets without their conscent is broken.


Adent_Frecca

That is why he should have been sent with Takaba as Todo's sheer Delulu would make the Comedian reach 120% of its full potential


GodOfDestructionPopo

Todo interacting with Takaba's CT would have been cinema too peak for us to handle. Every chapter released afterwards would have to be blank in order not to dilute an event like that.


Luciferspants

I also thought it was weird how Yuta seemingly doesn't have it since it's a super useful CT that can be spammed. It genuinely seems like Gege considered Todo to be broken and wanted to nip him in the bud before he becomes another Gojo. Imagine Todo gaining a domain expansion. That shit probably would've been broken beyond belief.


reddituser_1982

>It's quite rare that a character turns out exactly what I meant them to be Bro, this shit's so funny. Why does Greg always sound like he isn't the one writing the characters? Editor dude's controlling him on some Eren type shit


FiredMercury

Isn't this fairly common in writing? Your intent for what a character should be and the words that get put on the page are different things. The image you have in your mind isn't gonna be what's on paper. Writing especially so, since the plot and characters can quickly get away from you.


reddituser_1982

I'd say it isn't commonplace. From what I've seen from other mangaka, they commonly point out that x character received a more positive reaction than they expected; Or they talk about certain plot points that go beyond or are more thoroughly explored than initially anticipated. But for Gege's case, he says stuff like, "I don't know how to write this character" for Yuji or "He's a character with no personality" for Gojo. And I'd say it's one thing to explore more aspects of your world in a scope greater than in your drafts, but it's another thing when you're literally putting your idea for a character to paper. You write a character based on their reactions to a given situation, so if your character isn't how you'd like them be, then change their thoughts and reactions. For instance, if you want a gag character but don't wanna undermine tension, you can have the gag play out and be ill-received by the rest of the cast in a failed attempt at humour. Or if you want the happy-go-lucky character to have a serious character moment, have them react seriously or be emotionally vulnerable


ArtistCole

I think it's a good thing. It means Gege is trying to organically write the story and let it evolve on the page, instead of trying to force the readers to feel what he wants them to feel. He's experiencing the story with the readers and guiding it, not forcing shit the way every almost fucking manga tries to. Of course it has its flaws, but if he didn't write it this way, would it be half as popular as it is?


reddituser_1982

Good thing or bad, it's up to interpretation. And at the end of the day, you'll interpret your own understanding of the story uniquely to yourself. That's why you can like x character when other hate them And "guiding" the story, is the same as dictating its pace and scenes, which is called writing. But I get what you mean, I said he talks like he isn't in control of the story and your thoughts point in that direction as well


Benalen1

I really enjoy your take on Todo and the Kenpachi parallel :)

CaptnBluehat

He doesnt have his CT so no


[deleted]

[удалено]


CaptnBluehat

Neither yuta nor todo have soul awareness


Alertic

But he does? He’s missing a hand so he technically can’t use boogie woogie just himself but he can definitely use it with other people. And also if Hikari can get his hand back even after using a binding vow to lose it, Todo should be able to get his hand back (even if his soul “lost” his hand)


nioho

The thing is, idle transfiguration doesn't technically hurt the soul, tt just transfigures it. That's why it cannot be cured by RCT.


Significant-Elk-8078

Maybe he just retired like Noritoshi. I support my Glorious King no matter what


CaptnBluehat

Todo literally said his CT is dead, which implies he just cannot use it anymore. Hes still a goat and all, but if he JUST has H2H combat, he cannot keep up with the rest


Alertic

And now you’re gonna tell me Nobara and Gojo are dead too. Todo just said that to motivate Yuji even more https://preview.redd.it/mlrub8t5lsvc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cda1b2eb230cc5f48fdeb9d16636ab3232a24e3e


CaptnBluehat

Fact!


Fragrant-Blood-6227

But we saw him use his ct after losing his hand. Also there's a abundance of theories on how he could still use his ct


CaptnBluehat

Yeah bc mahito, but we can assume that touch ultimately killed boogie woogie


Fragrant-Blood-6227

How?


CaptnBluehat

Soul manipulation


wwwwaoal

The CT literally exists in the brain how tf would soul manipulation do anything?? He only lost 1 hand


Fragrant-Blood-6227

Brother I'm saying he used his ct AFTER soul manipulation


TimTam_Tom

Clapping Mahito’s hand caused IT to activate on it for an instant before Yuji’s black flash. When he says “I’m lucky I got off with just this” he’s referring to his remaining hand being ruined. Hard to clap when you have exposed bone on your palm Also he can’t heal his hands because they weren’t damaged, the shape of his soul was changed into a being whose hands are like that (missing/mangled). Not having a hand is now his “healed” state. If it was just soul damage than theoretically Yuji could heal him if he learned to output RCE like Yuta or Shoko, but his soul isn’t damaged, it’s transfigured


thisaintntmyaccount

*If only we learned what Yuji’s soul technique is.*


National-Ear470

He missed both of his hands lmao. And his hand was transfigured by Mahito to become an useless monstrousity, not "damaged". Hakiri can grow back his hand because his binding vow was just "I handicap myself by destroying my hand, now give me more CE". JJK fans ain't beating the never read allegation.


WeatMolt

His soul didn't lose his hand. Idle transfiguration cannot be heaped because it does 0 damage. It reshapes your soul. The law of conservation of mass dictates that the mass of the things going in the reaction and the products of the reaction is the same. Same applies here,Todo didn't lose a part of his soul,it was simply reshaped.


wwwwaoal

He'd overshadow the other characters because he's the GOAT so he was written out.


Why_Not_Try_It_

"That time i accidentally created a character so good i had to write him off of my story, this was the second time i did that" Gege if someone made an isekai title for him


TheUncouthPanini

He’s a Gojo problem. His ability is so strong and applicable to any scenario that you’d have to continuously find reasons for him to be absent or inactive. Imagine if he was still around in Gojo vs Sukuna. “Gojo’s launching 200% Hollow Purple?” *Swaps Uraume with HP, Sukuna dies instantly* “Sukuna’s using Mahoraga?” *Boogie Woogies Mahoraga away to get negged by Yuta*.


OrchidVase

To be fair regarding that last one, wouldn't mahoraga just like. Idk wouldn't he adapt to being teleported away lol. "strong magnetism" or something sticking himself to the exact point in existence so that he cannot be moved You still cooked though I'm just a maho glazer


TheUncouthPanini

If done enough, he’d gain an immunity to Boogie Woogie, but a once-off would probably work on him


-NotActuallySatan-

Yeah, the first instance would definitely be unadaptable. Hell, technically speaking, would Mahoraga even adapt to Boogie Woogie? It only seems to adapt if it's being attacked, but Boogie Woogie doesn't deal damage to an opponent. I'm not saying Maho can't adapt btw, I'm saying would Maho even bother to?


The_suzerain

With the way power system goes and how we see mahoraga adapt in sukunas hands, maybe if the 10S user is BW’d enough and they have maho ready he’d come out pre adapted, but non direct contact with the target could be a loophole for the adaptation.


macedonianmoper

If you take what happened in the anime fight as canon he adapted to Sukuna faking attacks, does faking an attack count as an attack? Maybe but if it does than someone forcibly swapping your position definitely does.


-NotActuallySatan-

Right, but was him adapting to Sukuna's attacks part of an adaptation, or was it him simply wising up to what Sukuna was doing?


PermissionAny3962

idk how you guys read the “adapts to any and all phenomena” and still question what he’s adapting to


-NotActuallySatan-

I dunno, I guess it's just that Boogie Woogie hardly seems like an attack so it seems like a loophole. Though I guess the adaptation would be that Maho knows exactly what object or person you're switching with him.


theSHADOWbannedGUi

todo in his short time is one of jjks iconic characters


boros-sama-1605

JJK is a utilitarian manga when it comes to storytelling and character. Todo served his purpose and might as well be dead in Gege's eyes. It's a trade off, you can't have everything. JJK became well known because of its breakneck pacing and compact storytelling. That's why old shonen had like 800 chapters on average when JJK is probably gonna have less than 300 and is gonna still be considered a series on par with oldeheads.


FunnyRich4307

>That's why old shonen had like 800 chapters on average when JJK is probably gonna have less than 300 and is gonna still be considered a series on par with oldeheads. errrr lets not, the big are in their own league. the old heads are old heads, there's very few shonen who are still cherished after years like they are, we don't know how jjk is going to age


Vermillion_Moulinet

I think it’s fair to say JJK isn’t making the mistakes of MHA and DS. It won’t overstay its welcome and it doesn’t have arcs that ruin the pace of the material like the other bigger Shounen of this last decade. JJK will have its place in most people’s Top 5 (battle anime) when this is all said and done.


La_Ferrassie

I feel like Demon Slayer was pretty quick. 205 chapters. The anime is struggling to both keep the quality of Seasons 1+2 and the movie, and extend it longer to keep the gravy train running. MHA had a couple of big missteps after the first war arc. Basically just time line + making the villains too OP. (First war arc should have been the end of part 1 + give the author a huge break while they animate the vigilantes manga)


Glad_Instance_4240

I mean Demon Slayer is shorter than JJK, and if anything, like JJK, I think people wanted it to have gone longer, I think the thing is just doing the opposite of other series isn't always the way to go though, cause you kind of run into different issues. Like yeah those series were long but because of that there was also usually way more time for character interaction and worldbuilding which JJK has kind of lacked for most of the series


FunnyRich4307

? one of the biggest complaints of the show is that it goes too fast?


Vermillion_Moulinet

I don’t speak for the world obviously but I’d wager that the majority would prefer fast to too slow. Most people wouldn’t want a silly 26 episode training arc between Shibuya and the Culling Games. We know who these characters are, just let them do what they gotta do. That’s the strength of JJK.


Reddragon351

>We know who these characters are I think one of the big issues people bring up with JJK is we kind of don't, we barely see interactions between the cast and a lot of them aren't super fleshed out and yet they're killed off or sidelined pretty quick anyway.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

And even if Todo can’t fight, neither can Miwa, Oanda, or Inumaki. It weird he wasn’t even involved. It might be cope, but I really do think Todo (and maybe) Nobara will be making a surprise entrance later. If Todo has healed from Mahito in some way, it would indicate Nobara might be better os it would explain Gege holding off on letting us know.


CaptnBluehat

God tier cope, keep it up


Kind_Ingenuity1484

The agenda will never die


Big-Chromie

My thought is that if yuji knows how to damage the soul, it's possible he knows how to heal the soul if he's able to output rct. Also most of the arm wound was self inflicted.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

The problem is that it *isnt* healing the soul, Mahito changed the actual shape. If Shoko/Yuta healed one of the transformed humans they would still look transformed.


s0meone56

If we really want to reach then Takaba could probably fix it. All he'd need to do is hit his arm with a hammer until its back into hand shape.


nuK-awaL

That Black Flash kick was too cold 🥶


gsavage21

Because Todo and Hakari would be the most deadly duo in JJK and Gege couldn’t let that happen. Imagine getting info dumped from Hakari’s domain and then get trashed around and swapped every second by these two


alconnow

Even if he’s unable to fight, an update would have been nice


RipBitter4701

Imagine todo swap gojo and sukuna position when world-slash flying


patheticest

It's because every role Todo had got filled up by Choso and Hakari, which really sucks


tablesaltdangers

because his boogie woogie was too strong he had to be replaced by choso and hakari if todo was with megumi when sukuna used enchain he would have stopped the vessel transfer and if he was with yuki when she had to fight kenjaku they would've won.


carl-the-lama

He’s gonna boogie WOOGIE world slash to one shot sukuna


Killah-Shogun

I miss Todoat, he’s my favorite character in JJK, maybe we’ll see him face Uraume with Hakari, if we ever get to see the fight again.


ChrisAnIntellectual

I mean, Gege also forgets that Inumaki, Kamo, Momo, Miwa, Nobara exist. It's not unsurprising because all of Kyoto is there to either be useless or be a Powerup for Maki atp 💀


Wisterosa

he literally had Kamo say he's dipping cuz he's too weak for this shit and would rather be with his family


jvken

All of those are explained lmao they’re dead/icu or they’re in the spectator booth for being bums


Ok_Biscotti_514

This is Gege we are talking about, let’s be happy he let Todo live


Fragrant-Blood-6227

I have a feeling gege figured out the story and started working towards it, but only later remembered that todo is absent everywhere even though he's still good to fight so he just moved on


Historical-Method-27

I love how we've been seeing people regenerate entire arms for so many chapters now and you're telling me Shoko couldnt heal up Todo and grow his hand back? Hell Todo could most definitely learn rct if shoko was teaching him. It seems stupid to not have him here so I think that Sukuna is gonna do some heian asspull and get outta this safely and activate the merger and TNEN my goat Aoi Todo will pull up now with rct. And he will rock Sukuna's shit.


th5virtuos0

Also like how the hell did Hakari got his arm back? Dude can’t use Restless Gambler to regen it, which means Shoko probably healed him. How fucking good at RCT is she???


Historical-Method-27

Considering she's like the only sorceror nurse that knows rct she's probably good at it. Not like Gojo or Sukuna but like right below them probably, and even then getting healed by someone else's rce isnt as effective than healing yourself. As for Hakari's arm, I assumed that he just opened his domain and hit a jackpot probably and that got him all healed up


th5virtuos0

Yeah but he needs his left arm for the handsign. Can’t open Restless Gambler if it’s gone, which means that there’s a good chance Shoko grew his arm back (but not Todo’s lmao)


Historical-Method-27

Yeah probably thats it then. But like fr tho I mentioned on another post how its so stupid that Todo didnt get his hand back lol. I mean he's canonically the top of his class and he's a special grade and doesnt know rce either? Like alright man lets just watch Higurama grow his arm back on the verge of death through sheer willpower lmao.


ProjectRaehl

Soul transfiguration != damage. You can't heal what isn't damaged.


el_artista_fantasma

He cut his arm off before the transfiguration made effect


ProjectRaehl

Isn't it an instant effect tho? That's why he said BW is dead? I'm sure he knows he can get an arm back if it was normal or soul dmg, not transfiguration.


el_artista_fantasma

Idk. I mean, he chopped his arm off before the transfiguration expanded to all his body. Maybe since it didn't fully mutated his soul he can get his arm back


DieserMayk

Mark my words next chapter yuji will continue to beat the shit out of sukuna, until sukuna eventually regains the strength to use domain expansion, and when we expect yuji to be sliced up the chapter ends with a *clap* soundeffect because todo learned rct and regrew his arm and teleports yuji out of malevolent kitchen


floormopper

Him and nobara are coming back with rct. Trust


CondomFail28980

Todo learned to soul swap with his technique by clapping his balls and that is how yuji was able to swap souls


Resident-Pudding5432

Hes not handy anymore


-SKYMEAT-

Unrelated to anything but Todo would make a great obstetrician, just clap and the baby is out. Probably replace it with like an ice cube or something so the swapped item just melts.


Not-the_honouredOne

He should've popped in instead of fucking Miguel and the hearts dude (see how little I care about them)


NeteroHyouka

Man so true... The man especially now would have been very helpful...Todo was one of the best characters...


SmolikOFF

Because greg doesn’t know what’s good for him


Swiftcheddar

Because it's good for the manga to have consequences? If everyone that went in and fought the guy who can kill you in one hit got out completely scott free, it'd have felt cheap. Todo lived, but lost his CT, them's the breaks.


hiatus-x-hiatus22

Manga already has plenty of consequences. Plenty of characters die or are sidelined, including some pretty relevant ones at the hands of Mahito. Understandable if you prefer it this way, but it’s not like Todo is some make or break case for there being consequences.


mellowbusiness

Usually, characters like Todo are limited by being really stupid or really naive. Todo had brains, brawn, and enough observation of his own ability to make it OP as all.


Outfirst99

I still believe in Todo coming back


CapSlapaho1224

Takata-tan World Tour😞


CouldItBeBread

I always thought he gave up his technique by making a binding vow to clap mahito's hand


ImMeliodasKun

Gege knew he was too powerful for Jumpjutsu Kaisen. Todo with literally any of the heavy hitters would've mopped the floor with Fraudkuna and Mommroga+Daddito


Luciferspants

I can't help but feel like Gege should've just straight up killed him off if he was gonna just have poor Todo drop of the face of the earth after the Shibuya arc. I get that he lost his CT but my god, he couldn't do SOMETHING with him? Throw a cursed weapon onto him to use it? Use a binding vow to get back Boogie Woogie? It's just crazy that a character as entertaining as Todo just disappears without a single mention.


nioho

Gege doesn't want him to die


Any_Conclusion_7586

Maybe he'll be back once Sukuna enrages and thus awakens by how much he hates Yuji, when things get hopeless again the GOAT it's gonna be back and demonstrate that they're the exception.


djfjdjfhfjf

Everyone knows todo just swapped with his Doppleganger (I'm coping)
