Since the Golden Week break, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183’s explanation of Hakari’s Domain has been eagerly anticipated by fans. As it turned out, the raw scans had not been obtained by well-respected leaker Myamura (@ king jin woo), but UchihaBenzene (@UchihaBenzene) had. Hakari’s Domain, despite the spoilers, is a tough concept to comprehend. Akutami’s unorthodox notions will only get more outlandish when more Domains are introduced in the manga.
Spoilers for Chapter 183 of Jujutsu Kaisen
A larger manga pen that fills with ink when Charles displays Curse Energy was revealed as Charles’ Cursed Technique in the last episode. Charles was able to look into the future by painting a blank manga page on his opponent. Charles was able to see deeper into the future while they battled. When it happened, Hakari used his reflexes to stop it, and then his Domain, Idle Death Gambling. The secrets of Idle Death Gamble were exposed in Charles’ brain as a requirement for the sure-hit portion of his Domain. “Tokyo No. 2 Colony (Part 3)” is the most likely title for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183.
Raw scans and spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183
Hakari’s Domain, according to spoilers in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183, is a blend of a pachinko machine and a romantic drama or series. Different combinations in the slots produce various outcomes, much like a jackpot in a pachinko machine. It is imperative that Hakari’s assaults are incorporated into the situation. Hakari will most likely use the pachinko machine again to get a new winning combination if he fails to subdue his opponents before the scene ends. Hakari stands to gain specifically from a jackpot win, and his Domain is closely tied to pachinko jargon and combination schemes in general.
Chapter 183 spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen don’t say anything about that. As it happens in this particular case, Hakari’s bet takes him to a railway station, where the plot of a romance manga comes to life. This can be seen in raw panels, where each character is represented by a card. Hakari and Charles’ battle is not relevant to any of them. It’s not obvious if they’re a benefit or a drawback for either side.
Images from the raw scans show Hakari and Charles fighting it out as they take advantage of the situation. Whether Charles can employ his Cursed Technique in Idle Death Gamble is an open question, but he appears to be fighting tooth and nail. G War-Stuff breaks exactly at the end of Chapter 183 of Jujutsu Kaisen, so it’s all for nought.
Speculations
With Hakari’s personality, it is only natural that his Domain revolves around gambling and other hedonistic pursuits. However, it is strange that Hakari uses a romantic manga scenario in his Domain after lecturing Charles about Otaku and comics. Readers are led to assume that Hakari’s Domain may vary its attack method and situation-dependent on its opponents.
In either case, the Idle Death Gamble from Hunter x Hunter may be compared to Kite’s Crazy Slots, but with a more intricate and romantic twist. A crack in Charles’ G War-Staff might be the end of the fight in Chapter 183 if spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183 are accurate. A pattern of diminishing screen time for following colonies may be traced back to Megumi’s conflict, with each succeeding colony receiving less and less attention.
It’s important to remember that Panda is also in Tokyo No.2 Colony, and there’s no word on how Hakari ended up fighting Charles. Hakari’s Domain should be explained in detail in the official translation of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 183.
