are gojo and sukuna to megumi what itachi and orochimaru are to sasuke…in the sense that (idk i dont go here)

Very much In the sense that. My previous thoughts on the matter.

sukuna and orochimaru play very similar roles in megumi and sasuke's development- predatory outsiders to the hierarchies mgm and ssk are familiar with (jujutsu society/konoha) who offer power and guidance separate from those known quantities but with the caveat of "the moment you drop your guard/it becomes convenient I Am going to steal your body". they're villains who have explicitly villainous intentions toward mgm/ssk but are more conducive to their growth than any of their other mentors/authority figures, who range from caring but unable to actually help due to their own enmeshment in the sorcery/shinobi system (nanami, kakashi if I'm feeling generous) to withholding/manipulative + actively exploitative at worst (gojo, mei mei, danzo, etc). Probably my favorite part of these specific dynamics/both the works as a whole is megumi and sasuke being forced to choose (or at least being presented with the illusion of a choice lbr) between like... the honest evil offered by skn/oro vs jj society/konoha's manipulation. like at least with sukuna and orochimaru you know what you're gonna get. so yes they are similar. in the sense that. (although actual character-wise i would say orochimaru is closer to kenjaku (mad scientist obsessed with immortality + the gender of it all) and sukuna is like. a madaratype i guess. start beef -> beat everyones ass -> find one guy who puts up a good fight -> get a mid-battle boner -> kill him, be slightly disappointed -> autocannibalism moment and then continue gauntlet run -> repeat )

gojo and itachi have less overtly parallels roles in both the story and mgm and ssk's lives BUT as i have said the similarities are there. first of all there's the parent murder although the reactions to this are obviously different (sasuke has never won the idgaf war once in his life while megumi is a seasoned veteran). secondly Big JJK/Nart Fandom will try to convince you these guys did everything for the greater good/safety of their Favorite Person but if you simply interact with the text in a non delusional manner you will see: both of them are sickos. in this shit for pure love of the game. they're similar in that respect (although itachi's personality is generally more reserved he is still gojolike on occasion especially in pt1... choking sasuke against a wall despite already having beat his ass into the ground was a certified #gojomoment) and they're both motivations for sasuke and megumi's "improvement" but like strictly in a nasty way. sasuke gets stronger at the expense of his health and autonomy to defeat itachi while megumi's suicidal recklessness in battle is a consequence of gojo's """teaching""". idk if i'm articulating this well but ⬇️ let's look at the material

you get it. i think it's really beautiful that they both employ the "beating my brother/son/victim's ass to help him grown as a person and a child soldier :-) wait why is he suicidal now" method of instruction. other smaller differences: sasuke is always itachi's #1 priority while gojo does care about megumi but sees him as a sort of replacement geto, itachi loves killing himself and everyone around him for fun and profit but gojo lowkey thought he would live forever, etc

but. finally. the most critical difference between sukuna and orochimaru is that skn is an evil uncle and oro is an evil mother. and the most critical difference between gojo and itachi is gojo is an evil uncle and itachi is an evil older brother. lowkey gege is a shadow of a doubthead. okay i'm done
