Oh this volume is such a roller coaster of topics and emotions xD It's kinda of funny how you start with the very dense rules for the Culling Game, then move on to the emotional goobye of Panda and Yaga, and then ending with the action thrill of Maki decimating the Zen'in clan. Honestly, MAPPA was so creative in the way they handled all the rules for the Culling Game and all those tedious game mechanics. They're interesting and important, don't get me wrong, but they can absolutely get too much easily. It's interesting to see all the repercussions of Gojo not being there and realizing just how much he was doing in silence, and for how many people. He protected with his mere pressence all those around him. And now, the second he is out of comission things start to fall to pieces. It's a good thing that he knew how precarious everyone's situation was, and having learned from Geto feeling all the pressure on himself, he prepared the others to be strong enough to take care of themselves and positioned the board pieces as much in their favor as he could. Choso is the absolute best just because he is such a genuinely devoted big brother. The idea that Yaga had the strength to be a special grade but did everything he could to not be recognize one is so interesting and something that hadn't quite cliked for me. He voluntarily turned down being thought the best of the best, basically. Panda's simple acceptance of what Gakuganchi did is somehow more heartbreaking than if he had raged and fought him. The thought that he understood that this was Yaga's friend who had killed him not out of hate or anger but simple cowardice to just follow orders... that's its own kind of curse, honestly. Being branded a traitor for what he did without being called one, but just knowing it, feeling it, in the acceptance and hearbreak of a son for his father. The thought that Maki told Megumi that she wouldn't become the head of the Zen'in clan because she wouldn't be able to create a place where Mai would feel comfortable, only to realize that the only way that she could create that place was if Mai was dead and she could unleash her full potential, I mean, Gege is too cruel sometimes. Usually, I think animation really helps me see some scenes better from manga and connect with them better, that's just something I've noticed. But with Mai's sacrifice I do think Gege managed to capture something in his pages that just hits me harder. I love how MAPPA did it, but it just didn't quite squeezed my heart the same way.

Be Happy

Love your comment Also Gege is cruel all the time not just sometimes 🤣

This volume was so much fun – in the cruelest way, but that’s JJK, right? The plot goes all over the place, doesn’t it?! I do appreciate how MAPPA handled this series so well in terms of pacing and animation in adaptation. Gojo really had a LOT of hold on this series’ world, didn’t he? But yes, Choso, best brother in anime contender! And then you have Yaga and Panda - ugh, it was just as sad in the manga as the anime! And that conversation between Gakuganchi and Panda just broke my heart, too - Panda is too pure! YES, Gege is CRUEL to throw monkey paws in like that with Mai and Maki. UGH. And yes, I would agree that Maki and Mai’s moments in the manga were handled SO well, so I really appreciated that! Thank you so much for the comment! I can’t wait until Volume 18!
