Oh my gosh, I LOVE these characters! Kugisaki got the chance to shine really fucking hard and I fucking LOVED seeing her shoot down Momo's preachy bullshit. Not that I'm saying the Jujutsu world isn't misogynistic (I would honestly die of shock if they weren't) but that Kugisaki wasn't going to feed into that. She's gonna do what she does, be who she is, and not let misogyny bring her down. I was sad to see her eliminated, but seeing Maki kick Mai's ass up and down the forest was SO FUCKING SATISFYING.

And Panda was so FUCKING COOL! I loved learning more about him and seeing him beat the shit out of Mechamaru, yet bond with him and offer support. It reminds me a bit of Demon Slayer and that's always a good thing! Speaking of fights, the fight scenes were fun, fast-paced, and enjoyable to read. It was great getting to learn more about the Kyoto kids' cursed techniques and seeing them duke it out with our Tokyo babies. On a completely different note, Todo's a weirdo but I enjoyed watching him teach Yuji more about cursed energy in that "I want you to get stronger because I want you to succeed and challenge me" way. I'm curious to see whether a friendship blooms from this or not, but either way it was entertaining.

Had a blast reading this volume, loving the series, and I'm hoping Inukami will get to shine next volume! Can't wait!

“does that mean we have to forgive the unfortunate no matter the circumstances? and if someone is blessed with a fortunate life, do they deserve to be ridiculed?”
