Fumihiko Takaba might be probably the most goofiest, but probably the most attention-grabbing characters launched in Jujutsu Kaisen. The character made his debut in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 (half 1) and naturally, questions have been raised about his skills.
Takaba was a not-so-successful comic earlier than he turned a participant within the Culling Recreation. He’s the woke up kind, that means Kenjaku used the Idle Transfiguration to awaken his Cursed Method.
He makes his first look saving Megumi from a troublesome spot, when he was preventing Reggie Star and Iori Hazenoki. Along with his goofy perspective, he appeared like an anticlimactic hero.
Nevertheless, probably the most stunning half was that he was in a position to handle his opponent with ease, with hints that his powers is perhaps actuality breaking.
Takaba’s Powers – The Comic Cursed Method Defined
Takaba’s powers come from his cursed method generally known as Comic, the place, if he comes up with one thing that he’s positive shall be humorous, it turns into a actuality. To place it merely, if Takaba feels that one thing is 100% hilarious, the universe will bend to make it occur.
He manifest objects, heal himself and even have an effect on the truth of others for the sake of his punchline.
We get to see this primary hand throughout his battle towards Hanezoki, as he stepped in to save lots of Megumi. Even after being hit full frontal with an explosion, he seems, albeit in a hilarious method, with very much less injury (which was simply comical trying burning hair at one level).
Not simply that, he was in a position to randomly cowl his physique in lotion (or Ankake sauce as Takaba claims it was) out of the blue, and let Hanezoki’s punches actually slide off him.
Takaba’s cursed method is so overpowered that it’s formally stated to rival that of Gojo Satoru’s Limitless and Infinity. Nevertheless, Takaba being Takaba, he’s completely clueless about his powers and has completely no concept the way it works.
Warning: Spoilers Forward!!
Maybe, the most effective instance of Takaba’s powers got here in his battle towards Kenjaku. Who ever thought the comic would face off with the traditional yapper!
All through the entire battle, Takaba takes Kenjaku’s assaults flippantly and makes enjoyable of him by turning them into petty magic tips.
This was additionally the primary time we get to see Takaba’s powers have an effect on his opponent too. As an illustration, Kenjaku and Takaba typically discovered themselves in numerous environment to go well with the joke. At one level Kenjaku remodeled right into a nurse within the hospital, as the entire setup of the battle modified.
Such mockery led Kenjaku to consider that Takaba’s energy was to manifest phenomena and create something that he imagined.
He additionally admitted that the Jujutsu information that he gained over a thousand years may not have any impact whereas preventing towards Takaba, as a result of his opponent was primarily rewriting actuality.
Nevertheless, Takaba’s powers even have a serious limitation!
Limitation of Takaba’s skills:
At it’s very base, Takaba’s powers are actuality warping. Nevertheless, for the reason that method is fueled completely by Takaba’s real perception that one thing is humorous, it has a large psychological weak spot.
If his confidence is shattered and he begins doubting his personal humorousness, the reality-warping instantly stops working, leaving him completely weak. Briefly, Takaba must be completely positive that his joke will land!
Kenjaku is ready to deduce this weak spot throughout their battle and use it to his benefit.
As an alternative of preventing Takaba with fists or magic, Kenjaku acts as a harsh comedy critic. He logically breaks down why Takaba’s jokes are literally boring and unfunny.
This crushes Takaba’s spirit. The second Takaba will get depressed and loses his confidence, Comic turns off, and Kenjaku’s assaults lastly begin drawing actual blood.
So yeah, even when Takaba’s skills look damaged on paper, Gege Akutami has carried out an excellent job of balancing it out.
