JJK theory - n°1

⚠️ spoilers ahead ⚠️ >> Chap 238

Does Gojo’s death make any sense?

In terms of paradigm : it just might

So let’s dive into JJK’s paradigm

First of : what’s a paradigm ?

In our case : it’s a set of principles used to explore and understand the laws of a reality

The JJK reality and its laws are tightly related to the occult which means : cursed technique + domain expansion

This made me wonder :

what if, through the occult, JJK’s characters represented principles that could help us understand the story’s recurring laws and overall paradigm ?

And if fact, using this system :

character’s principle = their domain expansion = their cursed technique’s essence

We might find out :

→ the principle and essence some characters represent → how it’s reflected through their dynamics → how it can partly explain Gojo’s death

Viewers disclaimer :

Since there’s a lot of debate on why Gojo didn’t see Sukuna's last attack coming, I'd rather put the issue aside for now and stay open to any possibilities

The main goal isn’t so much to entirely solve the mystery around his death but rather to find laws / a system applicable to JJK’s paradigm to better understand the overall universe and anticipate some future dynamics / outcomes

Let’s break It down !

It’ll be clearer with examples...

Mahito

cursed technique = physical + soul transformation

domain expansion = physical + soul’s essence = the self (body and soul) = his principle

What about his dynamic with Yuji (and Sukuna) ?

= his nemesis = perfect opposites

>> Chap 32

Yuji Itadori

his principle = opposite of the self = others = alterity

>> Chap 29

What does that mean for his dynamic with Sukuna ?

alterity can take 2 forms : others > than oneself = Itadori others < than oneself = Sukuna

but that might be more useful in another theory...

Megumi Fushiguro

cursed technique = creation of familiars → ten shadows technique

domain expansion = creation of familiars’ essence = matter (of which his familiars are made of) = his principle

What about his dynamic with Sukuna ?

Sukuna has expressed interest towards Megumi several times

but before getting into that let’s focus on Gojo...

>> Chap 30 >> Chap 117

Satoru Gojo

cursed technique = unreachability → neutral limitless : infinity

domain expansion = unreachability’s essence = infinity (there’s infinity between him and the rest of the world) → unlimited void = his principle

>> Chap 14

What about Sukuna’s dynamic with Megumi and Gojo ?

using Megumi’s body Sukuna cut / touched Gojo but how is that possible since he’s supposed to be unreachable ?

Considering our little system :

Megumi’s principle = matter Gojo’s principle = infinity

=> using Megumi’s domain expansion Sukuna materialised infinity into tangible and cuttable space which partly explains Gojo’s death

>> Chap 236

Thus, and in accordance with this theory, the world and its very structure are currently within Sukuna’s reach

>> Chap 238

One question remains :

will this system be applicable in the future and will it help anticipate incoming character dynamics / outcomes ?

hey, if you made it this far

THANK YOU SO MUCH !

hope you liked it

stay tuned
