I can see why some people are complaining about chapter 30 since the situation is practically screaming suspicious activity. However, that's a perspective that only we the readers are privy to and not the characters so it can be overlooked.

I'm actually more interested in the events of chapter 31. More specifically, I'm curious as to why Kiyohara is still alive. Wouldn't have been more efficient for Araya to slit his throat or break his neck when the man was unconscious instead of placing a barrier around him like Matsuhime said?

Is it an oversight or something else on their part? Becuase I doubt these child abductors would draw the line at murder in order to carry out their scheme of ritual sacrifice, especially since dead men tell no tales.

Another thing I found interesting is that Araya knows the metaphysical implications behind Shiki's technique despite having only met her once with the cursed eyes. This leads me to believe that perhaps this isn't the first time Shiki's cursed eyes have awakened in the Gojo's history. It's entirely possible that it flew under the radar since it's awakening is both obscure and difficult to achieve.

It wouldn't be impossible that someone else, like Shiki, who was mistaken for having no cursed energy was cast out of the clan only to awaken it at a later date. Hence how Araya discovered the technique long before the Gojo knew of it's existence and was searching for it all this time.

This ask was submitted before the recent chapter, and I just want to say that your observations on Kiyohira made me cackle a little bit. (Rubs gremlin hands.) It makes me really excited to see people catching on to tidbits that seem a little weird at a glance. There are (usually) reasons for that aside from plot holes lol. Hope some of the curiosity was answered!

Araya is Suspicious for sure, especially with how he's focusing on Shiki the way he is. More on that in the future!
