Are you a cursed spirit?
I think I am!
Jogo was so thrown off he choked on his words for a moment.
Why did this kid talk without using his brain... Did he just answer without thinking?
"You..."
"I sincerely think so, boss! You have to believe me!"
We're on the same side!!!
Having read the original work, Kana Shizumi's reaction speed in this regard was nothing short of swift.
From the start, he had known Jogo's personality—he was a bona fide big brother among cursed spirits, remarkably dependable toward his own kind and exceptionally ruthless toward enemies.
After all, Gojo had easily taken him down early in the story, and after Hanami rescued his head, it was even used as a football, yet he had not gotten that angry about it. Really?
Then, after catching Octopus Ball during his vulnerable post-death state, he had instantly killed the three on the heroes' side, which was enough to demonstrate his attitude.
You're not a cursed spirit? Then why don't you just die!
The funny part was that none of the three people he scorched had actually died on the spot.
After the Zenin Clan head was rushed back, rescue efforts failed. Nanami, with nothing left in him, sought death himself. Maki was something else... she had been burned into her ultra-masculine form.
Ahem, back to the point.
All in all, Jogo's strength was actually quite decent in the early stages.
Before Okkotsu appeared and before the battle royale began... he was probably in the tier right below Gojo-Sukuna.
The reason everyone looked down on him was probably that he loved talking big, only to get slapped in the face repeatedly. In the end, Sukuna even tricked him into taking a full-force Furnace head-on...
You could say boss spent his entire life
