Jujutsu Kaisen Has THE BEST Power System!

ah thursday my new favorite day of the week the day that nick decides to tank his views on youtube because he wants to talk about an anime that's not naruto and today we got jjk you see jiu-jitsu kaizen is one of the most popular animes on the face of the earth right now season one took the entire world by storm and chapter zero also continued to take the world by storm in movie format between the incredible animation the well choreographed fights and the incredibly well written characters jjk is almost a 10 out of 10 for me so naturally like the nerd i am i consumed every bit of information about it that exists and you know got a full encyclopedia of it in my head i don't only do it for naruto but here's the thing there's a couple of similarities between jjk and naruto and it's not the fact that team seven exists in both universes no it's the fact that jjk is a very large expansive and cool universe that isn't the best explained and i know you're saying well nick there's only been 24 episodes of course it's not going to be well explained there's a lot more exploring in the world and a lot of cool characters and places that come up that aren't super fleshed out at least to the average person but what i believe truly suffers the worst from this really cool idea not fleshed out problem is the power system of the world cursed energy you see cursed energy in summation seems relatively simple it's a power that is based off negative emotion the more negative you feel as a curse or jiu jitsu sorcerer is going to boost your jujitsu that's a massive simplification there's a lot more intricacies to cursed energy and curse techniques and today in a spoiler-free way mind you i'm going to explain to you what curse energy is and how it's different from the oversimplification we've received but before we get to over explaining simple things guys please for me like this video subscribe to the page and hit that notification and if you guys enjoying non-naruto thursdays guys please tell me in the comments below and while you're being super nice guys follow my other two youtube pages ncgamer23 where i play video games in hammer's collection where i unbox massive anime statues so let's go over what we know as a community about cursed energy and curse techniques you see cursed energy is born from negative emotions like anger and grief but here's the thing every human on the face of the earth has felt anger or despair or grief or sadness and therefore every human on earth has cursed energy it's like chakra but more realistic and nobody had to go around giving it to everybody just by being born essentially you're gonna have a small bit of cursed energy inside of you however because the human experience is different for everybody on earth everybody's gonna have different levels of cursed energy if you grew up in a family of five and you took christmas photos and white sweaters with your golden retrievers you're gonna have less cursed energy than the person who watched his entire family die in a swat raid and this is important see because the amount of curse energy you have in your life actually plays into whether or not you'll be able to see curses if the amount of cursed energy you have is over a certain threshold you will be able to see curses but here's the thing you need a lot of cursed energy for that to be the case this is why being able to see curses is exceptionally rare in the human race but this is to say only the people with the most negative emotions in the entirety of society can see curses this means the people with the most despair the most anguish the most anger all of it and because cursed energy is so individual and so personal it manifests differently in every single person you see in naruto chakra can be used to spit a fireball by a bunch of different people and those fireballs will be largely the same i would actually say that cursed energy is closer to nen than chakra because not only does curse energy manifest in different colors in most people like yuji's is red mahitos is dark purple and most curses are yellowish while the overwhelming majority do have blue the difference in colors is distinctive of the personalities in the anguish and anger or despair that certain people have been through this thing the cursed energy that all humans build up by having these negative emotions doesn't stay with them 100 of the time in fact the curse energy that these people feel will build up in society think of cursed energy a bit like a disease more people that are around the higher chance that the disease is going to spread this is because every single person runs a finite amount of risk by walking around other people and catching that disease so if you look at a place like tokyo where there's a lot of people experiencing negative emotions those emotions stack up on top of each other and eventually form curses see because curses are made from the negative emotions of humans and some curses can just be born out of the blue one day enough people were angry walking down a particular street and then boom the glass was filled and a curse was made these curses are weak curses they just kind of happen because eventually enough cursed energy builds up and a curse is made however strong curses are made when negative emotions are focused at something in particular take this controller for example if every single time you walked down a certain street this controller punched you in the face there would be a lot of negative emotions directed towards this controller now if that happened to 10 or so people it might be enough to make a low level curse that curse would be stronger than if those negative emotions weren't directed at anything in particular but it would still be a weak curse because only 10 people felt as emotion now imagine a hurricane hits tokyo and it kills 10 000 people now all of the families and all of those affected by the hurricane will project negative emotions at the hurricane that is a bunch of people projecting their negative energy their cursed energy at a particular event which would make an incredibly powerful curse because of this curses are where more populated areas are this is why nobura makes a joke about not being able to fight any curses where she's from because she's from a rural area with less people around there's less cursed energy and therefore there's just less curses so cities where there's a lot of people living rather miserably are going to be stacked to the gills with curses but the problem is curses are invisible they're made entirely out of cursed energy which is nothing technically however like i stated earlier humans with above average cursed energy can seek curses in fact this is the minimum requirement to be a jujitsu sorcerer because you can't fight what you can't see float like a butterfly's thing like a bee however technically having above average curse energy isn't the only way to see curses in certain rare circumstances people can see curses when their life is in danger but curses aren't the only thing that's invisible to the average person you see when a jujitsu sorcerer or a curse uses jiu jitsu it leaves a special footprint let's say i'm in a battle and i'm running but i'm using jiu jitsu the whole time i'm running every place i stepped is going to leave a small trace of cursed energy in this cursed energy can a be used to track me and b even identify me because remember what i said cursed energy and therefore curse techniques are specific to each person therefore if you know somebody's cursed energy just by looking at the residuals they left behind you can identify if it belongs to me or toge or panda or itadori but truly elite jiu-jitsu sorcerers can actually erase their residuals think of this a bit like zetsu in hunter hunter essentially by managing your outfit of curse energy you can make sure that none is left behind in all is used in your techniques however this doesn't only apply for jiu jitsu sorcerers curses can do it as well being able to suppress your residuals is not the way the strength of a curse technique user or a curse themself is ascertained strength is ascertained just like it isn't hunter hunter by the amount of cursed energy you have and just like in bleach strong levels of cursed energy can actually instill fear in those around them and being able to identify how much cursed energy a curse or a curse technique user has is very important for combat you see because reading the flow of somebody's cursed energy allows you to predict their movements you have to mold your cursed energy to either move very quickly or launch one of your curse techniques so if you can see how somebody is molding their cursed energy you can predict what their movements will be however because of this jiu jitsu sorcerers and curses who have strong physical prowess are actually very tough battles in jiu jitsu battles this is why itadori is such a tough fight for a lot of curses you see itadori has a low cursed energy level but his physical prowess is insane so curses try to read his cursed energy but that doesn't give any tells to how he's gonna fight because he fights physically it's a bit like in hunter hunter using yo on your eyes to see how nen is moving in somebody's body the problem is that person is either using zetsu or doesn't have any nan and therefore is only attacking you physically so gyo isn't gonna show you anything but not everybody fights like yuji todori most people rely on cursed techniques specifically cursed energy manipulation being able to manipulate your own cursed energy into a focused attack is the base of all jiu-jitsu it's no different from haki spiritual pressure chakra or men in that way but the difference between being able to sense curse energy and physically use it is huge yugi for a long time could sense cursed energy not until he was really mad could he use it and then when he calmed down a few days later he couldn't use it at all and this was after going to jiu jitsu high for a good amount of time and i know i've been comparing cursed energy to nan and chakra and all of that but gojo actually compares it to electricity gojo states that electricity is hard to use in its base raw form i mean you can shock somebody with a cut wire and that'll be good for blunt force trauma but electricity is best utilized in the way that it fuels electronics so the concentration of most jiu jitsu sorcerers is flowing that electricity into something finer like a jujitsu technique however cursed energy doesn't flow on its own it's not just always circulating around your body first energy has to be told where to go a bit like how you have to put chakra at the bottom of your feet to walk on water this was a problem that yuji had for a long time you see yuji is inhumanly fast so when he punched somebody he couldn't get his cursed energy to flow to his fist fast enough to make contact with that person while his fist was making contact with them because this yugi accidentally made the divergent fist technique or he would punch somebody just a regular old superhumanly strong punch and then after that the cursed energy would hit that person a second time this would result in a double punch which would catch curses off guard but i know you're saying well if cursed energy is completely reliant on negative emotions are all jiu jitsu sorcerers just always pissed off and like sort of but also no ironically controlling your emotions is one of the most important things in jiu-jitsu sorcery so essentially curse technique users have to be angry or sad in battle they need to be making their own cursed energy to use but controlling those negative emotions is key so you don't waste all of your energy if you super saiyan 3 yell and just go ah all of your cursed energy is gonna leave you however if you harness your anger and your despair and your hate for the world then you can focus that into your body into your fists into your sword like utah you can be just as angry as goku trying to grow his hair but you have to focus it with calmness otherwise you'll burn through the entirety of your reserve of cursed energy and this actually works a lot like men you see in the hunter hunter universe nen is released from every single person from the top of their head learning how to harvest ned requires that you stop that nen from leaving your body and you envelop yourself in that men that usually would have left you and because of this you can live for super long that's why netero lived for so long curse energy works exactly the same by stopping your cursed energy from leaving your body and having it flow to the rest of your body you essentially cut off the tap of cursed energy going out into the world in fact curse technique users release so much less curse energy back to the world that if every single person on earth was a cursed technique user curses would cease to exist because remember curses are created from people's cursed energy releasing out into the world but in order to flow all of that curse energy around yourself and use it at max efficiency you need to make one realization see it's largely believed within the jiu jitsu sorcerer community that your negative emotions are made in your stomach and then flowed around your body however thinking of your body as multiple parts actually delays your cursed energy flow thinking of your stomach as the place that cursed energy is created and then having to flow it to your fist slows down how quickly you can get cursed energy to your fist and this is the problem that yuji was having however truly elite level jiu jitsu sorcerers realize that they exist in the universe as a mind a body and a soul in one piece and once you make this realization it becomes much easier to flow cursed energy to any part of your body because it's all one part and because their cursed energy flows evenly around their entire body it makes it very hard to read what they're gonna do based off their cursed energy because they can move it so quickly but since we're talking about applying cursed energy to certain parts of your body let's talk about applying cursed energy you see curse energy will not usually used in the way of application can be used in the way of application you see yuji's kind of an oddball here by applying cursed energy to his hands in combination with his physical prowess he can fight toe to toe with a grade one curse and while cursed energy is not usually used this way it can be released as force blasts from your hand or as explosive barriers it can even be used to coat somebody's skin to increase the hardness for defensive purposes but cursed energy doesn't only have to be applied to your fists or your skin can also be applied to weapons and this is how utah learned cursed energy control by constantly imbuing a small amount of cursed energy into a katana see you can't throw all of your cursed energy into a sword all at once this will compromise his integrity and crumble it so cursed weapons have been imbued with a small amount of cursed energy day after day after day and as they build up this cursed energy they get harder and more destructive and eventually a normal tool becomes a cursed tool but cursed energy can be used in even different ways than all that you see remember how we said cursed energy is unique to every single person well yeah you can also apply special traits to your cursed energy there's a person who comes into jjk much later by the name of kinji and kinji's curse energy has an edge to it essentially kenji's special trait makes his cursed energy feel like you're being hit by a serrated baseball bat there's also a person who comes later on in jjk named hajime and hajime's cursed energy has the properties of electricity so when you're hit by it it feels like you're being electrocuted much like how kilo was able to make his nen feel like electricity and these special traits make your cursed energy incredibly hard to defend against because let's say you block an electricity attack it's still gonna shock you and these special traits are obviously individualistic those aren't the only ways that somebody can make their cursed energy unique have i told you about how nen and cursed energy are similar yet i haven't well they are and this is how one can apply restrictions to their cursed energy that makes it more powerful does that sound like men it does yeah it's because they're basically the same thing essentially the way that it's explained in the jjk universe is that in order to gain something one must offer something this applies to a lot of things both within curse techniques and just the regular world but a big factor of restrictions is risk remember how shoot tied a bandana over his eye while he was fighting against yupi and he decided to only use one of his legs and therefore became significantly more powerful that's because he was putting a self-imposed nen restriction on his nen and risking a lot and that made his nan more powerful same thing applies in the jjk universe the greater the risk to the jiu jitsu sorcerer the higher strength of the jujitsu technique because this the fastest way for somebody to increase their own cursed energy is to make a binding vow with their life as the offer like you make a cursed energy vow that says you can only use your cursed energy between the hours of 9 and 10 am and if you use it at any other point boom you die for that hour you're gonna be insanely powerful and this is a shortcut to power but since risk is so important in increasing one's own cursed energy by divulging the set of circumstances that make you more powerful like if i were to tell you that i only have an hour of cursed energy to work with that would also increase my cursed energy because by divulging the parameters of my self-imposed restrictions i've put myself at more risk you know my powers and the negative emotions that would come along with somebody now knowing more about you and therefore kind of having a leg up on you also increases your cursed energy risk increasing the amount of cursed energy you have is actually why some humans are able to seek her spirits when they're about to die the heightened emotions and cursed energy you feel as you're about to die boost your curse energy so much so that average people can see curses examples of self-imposed restrictions are like anonymities overtime during the work day 9-5 anonymity does not have access to the entirety of his cursed energy but once five o'clock happens he gets a massive influx in cursed energy and these risks in self-imposed restrictions increase all kinds of jiu-jitsu techniques they make your barriers stronger they make your innate abilities stronger they make everything you can do with cursed energy stronger however not all restrictions increase your cursed energy in fact some restrictions reduce it why would you want to reduce your own curse energy is a great question some kersh technique users use restrictions that reduce their cursed energy to increase their physical strength toji is able to reduce his cursed energy to a quite literal zero in exchange for better speed senses and strength to a super human level but can also go the opposite way you can give up the entirety of your physical strength in speed for unparalleled cursed energy this is the circumstance for kokichi and yeah that's it everything you need to know about cursed energy curse manipulation curse techniques curse restrictions all of that and it is also technically the first ever jjk youtube video i've ever filmed did you guys like it if you did guys please for me like the video subscribe to the page and hit that note about and if you really like the jjk video guys tell me in the comments below and i'll make more listen i don't want the people who took white sweater christmas photos with their golden retrievers to get upset but just i don't know it must be nice [Music]
