Uraume Confirmed Gender, Originally a Male and Reincarnated Into a Woman's Body | Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 28

[Source: SportsSkeeda Article]

Okay first off, let me just say that I fucking knew it. Usually, I try not to make jokes while writing these silly, for lack of a better word; essays. However, I did in fact call it. I theorized this is exactly how Uraume's gender works, the binding on their chest never being for battle, but instead just to bind their chest. Here's a screenshot dating back to September 10th [last month]

Now excuse me but to all the Jujutsu Kaisen "fans" that said Uraume is in fact a girl and nothing else; FUCK YOU.

I'm sorry but the jjk fandom is by far one of the worst fandoms I've been in. and I've been in the My Hero Academia fandom so that says A LOT.

it's extremely ironic too because as soon as this came out, the "transphobic" Uraume "fans" stopped shipping them with Sukuna, like immediately. If that doesn't scream red flags about the fandom then I don't know what does.

I've talked about it before and I will talk about it again, [legal + nontoxic] queer ships and queer headcanons within the jjk fandom is NOT the problem. The people constantly shoving "why can't two men be best friends" down your throat are THE problem. These headcanons and ships are not new within any anime fandom, there will always be a queer ship no matter what.

"Why can't two men be best friends" Why can't a woman and a man be best friends? Why do you ship every woman + man friendship?

Honestly the first time I've ever been so goddamn happy for Gege Akutami to confirm something about his character, especially knowing who it's going to upset. It honestly does suck how many bigots are in the jjk fandom because Gege isn't against lgbtqia+, he's literally a fan of BLs..

The only excuses people had for Uraume being a woman is;

Hakari calling them a 'her' [he was assuming]

Uraume has bandages around their chest during Hakari vs Uraume because they're a woman and that's what women do during battles

They were reincarnated into a woman's body therefore they're a woman.

I'm skipping over the Hakari part because that is such an obvious answer. Uraume having a chest binding around their chest during a fight isn't because they're a woman, not to mention no other woman character has ever had chest bindings, there's literally nothing to back that up. And if you *actually* paid attention in Jujutsu Kaisen, you'd know that reincarnation has NEVER specified that the vessel NEEDED to be of the SAME GENDER.

I'm not 'caring too much' about a fictional situation. I care about the fact that homo/transphobes are so fucking annoying in fandoms to the point that no one can even enjoy Jujutsu Kaisen anymore without some rat in your ear saying it's not canon.

Just like the heavy homophobia towards SatoSugu or ItaFushi, the only excuse both have is 'two men can be best friends' as if SatoSugu or ItaFushi shippers have ever said they couldn't be. The more valid reason is that ItaFushi is a risky ship due to both of them being minors and not wanting two minor characters to be sexualized, but shipping characters doesn't automatically mean you want them to have intercourse or debate on who's top/bottom.

Most shippers [including myself] ship characters that would most likely be wholesome together due to how much they care about each other.

Anyway, I thank Gege Akutami for this confirmation so the useless debate can stop. I will still be referring to Uraume as 'they/them' due to them being technically both genders. I'm praying that the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom and future fandoms are able to heal and not have constant debates like this because people want to have unproblematic headcanons.

More JJK hills that I have chosen to die on

1) I think that todo has 2 dads and kenjaku got coach takagi pregnant with him

2) Gojo's undercut isn't about him trying to forget Suguru. Doesn't he still wear his bf's hair tie? Also it's been 10 years you don't think that everyone has had one haircut or style change in a decade?

Gojo's undercut IS a product of convenience. You know how messy and uncomfortable it is to wear a blindfold knotted into your hair? Then just shave half of it off and it's so much better. Shaved hair is a better sensory experience, and we already know he has sensory issues especially photophobia but I wouldn't be surprised if he uses infinity to avoid certain textures.

Blindfolds not only cover more area than glasses, but they also apply even pressure on the head. I think it's similar to a stim, like a weighted blanket or something to prevent/relieve headaches.

He's so silly

[ID: Retweet from Junji Ito thanking Akutami. The tweet is from the Junji Ito exhibition account attached with a drawing of Akutami’s cat mascot as a skeleton. The message describes the impact of Ito’s manga ‘The Long Dream’ on Akutami and how it made them think of humans changing when living over a century. All text is in Japanese. End ID.]

Junji Ito thanking Gege Akutami for leaving a message for his exhibition!

So chapter 251 pretty much confirmed that Yuuta needs to consume [a part of] the sorcerer/curse in order to copy their technique.

Which begs the question-

-the fuck did he eat of Toge’s to copy his Cursed Speech?

JJK Volume 0 movie talk

I recently watched the latest Jujutsu Kaisen movie and have decided to compile all of my thoughts into a long post.This will cover 4 main parts: animation,plot,characters and their dynamics and the soundtrack.This should be viewed as my own opinion of the movie so I might not have looked into certain characters or themes but I have tried my hardest so here we go.

Animation

First things first, this was done by Mappa so it was bound to be aesthetically pleasing.But what I didn’t know was how drop dead gorgeous some of the shots in the movie were (most of them were lock screen worthy if I do say so myself) and the fight scenes were very well choreographed and smooth as hell. You can tell there was a lot of care put into the movie from its looks alone.

Plot

The plot for me was really interesting as while you have the threat of Suguru Geto, our main antagonist for the movie, we also have the underlying mystery of how Rika was cursed in the first place along with who cursed who. Although I did want there to be more focus on them unravelling the mystery, the movie was already jam packed as it is, so if there was a focus, the pacing might have fallen as a consequence.Other than that, it was a great introduction to the Jujutsu World. I think that if someone who hadn’t seen the series yet and started with the movie, they would be satisfied with the outcome but still want to start the series in order to answer some of the questions that they could have (someone would also have to tell their poor soul that Yuta doesn’t appear in the first season and only has a singular name drop).

The pacing itself was fine as they had to balance numerous events happening all at once which is something that I really like from the series. Every tiny choice might make a huge difference overall ( e.g Maki staying behind led to Suguru not immediately getting Yuta) which is essential in the constant battles and threats of war in jjk.I would say the plot isn’t too grandiose which is what I preferred as instead, the characters get more of a focus. Speaking of characters

Characters (+ dynamics)

Okay so this is the bit where I might start being rambly but I’m going to restrain myself as much as possible

My favourite aspect about the movie was the in depth look on the characters. Yes worldbuilding is really cool but if the character were the equivalent of dry paint, you wouldn’t necessarily enjoy it as much.This isn’t the case here as all of the characters whether major or minor all were entertaining and great to watch.The second years are a delightful cast and I really wish that we would have a side story dedicated to them but that would be too greedy.The chemistry between the second years are so natural and to be honest are one of the more relaxing to see. No bitter rivalry.No misunderstandings.Just some kids + a panda goofing off in their youth as well as training to be powerful sorcerers.They all get to shine when interacting with Yuta however as you get to see them opening up to him and talk about what they want to do. As the movie progresses, they get attached to this mess of a person and by the end they all leave off together as a ragtag team that they are.

Now off to our main protagonist Yuta.This wet wipe of a main protagonist is one of the most compelling characters that I’ve seen in a while.In almost two hours,he has managed to get me to feel an array of emotions and while he has his issues with himself, he always tries to help those who show kindness to those around him as they helped him come out of his shell and develop as a character.His connection with Rika is so heartbreaking as all he wanted was for her not to die and thanks to that, she wasn’t able to rest in peace and became a curse in the process.The scene where Yuta is carrying Maki and the elementary kids got me almost crying and this happened in the first 30 minutes so I knew I was invested in him.I’m going to leave him like this as I may plan to write an analysis on him in the uncertain future but trust me I have a lot to say about him.

The other main highlight of the movie was the dynamic of Gojo and Suguru with them being the main driving forces of the plot.Let me tell you their relationship is the best in the movie and there are crumbs scattered around that will be later looked on in the further arcs. I’m not planning to spoil the manga but from the movie you can clearly see that Suguru wasn’t that bad to begin with, he cares about those in his group and an interesting thing that I liked was that Nanako and Mimiko (the girls that Suguru saved) parallel Yuta and Gojo in a way.Both powerful sorcerers who help these children who have been ostracised by the world around them.Only their ideologies and motivation set them apart (No seriously, these guys have the same humour, I’m gonna blame this on Gojo for this). It all culminates at the end where they talk to one another and it seems whilst Suguru has committed  heinous crimes, Gojo still thinks of him as his best friend and is still unable to finish the job, something that could potentially cause him to lose what he has now.I also want to leave this how it is since I feel like most of my opinions lie in the manga but @hanmas-stunt-double has a better view on Suguru that gave me a new perspective on his character.

Soundtrack

Whilst writing this long post, I’ve been listening to the ost for the movie and my god does this go hard. Greatest Strength is a favourite of mine and I have been looping Ichizu since before the movie since it was that good.The songs that are hyped keeps me pumped for the fight scenes, the slower scenes causes the scenes to slow down and emphasise what’s going on on screen and the more eerier songs keep me on my toes.It’s all masterfully written but I’m not good at looking deeper on song lyrics so anyone else can add anything in which I would be glad to listen to.

Ending thoughts

To sum up this long thing up, I would give this movie a 9.5/10 though it might be one of my favourite anime movies for a while.Everything in this movie intrigued me and I could go on and on about this for days.I am going to see the manga to see the differences that they held, but I don’t think it will be that dramatic of a change.This took most of my energy to make and I would love to hear any other thoughts on this piece since I love discussing stuff like this.
