MAAAAN THESE SUKUNA ANALYSES... THEY'RE SO GOOD... I've always related to him super hard just on first readings as a trans disabled person who is an ambulatory wheelchair user. I'm incredibly violent and confrontational, too. If I could just fuckin kill the people who dehumanize me constantly, I mean... that kind of power is tempting! The way you read him is so satisfying to my brain, and it definitely makes sense in the text as well. Overall I'm just really happy to see somebody managing to put into words what I subconsciously grasped the first time I watched and read JJK. I was literally internally like "omg omg omg they put it into words!! omg!!!" the entire time I've been reading these posts. I can't wait to see what other analysis posts you've made and if there's other stuff for fandoms I enjoy. Thanks a lot for what you do! People like me appreciate it so much.
Oh thank goodnesss you feel this way. Everytime I post always I think of this image.
Thank you for confirming I'm still at secret esoteric knowledge.
Sukuna is very cathartic for me as a character in that way too. He basically gets to act out where I would restrain myself.
It’s funny that you mention you’re trans. At the risk of tipping the scale to mental illness, I think Sukuna is a very gender character. I find his refusal to introduce himself very relatable. He just kind of lets everyone call him whatever. The only time he ever identifies himself is when not doing so could put in his life in danger.
That’s it. “I’m the Fallen/Disgraced One”. I don’t believe he ever refers to himself as a man either. He just uses a masculine speaking style.
I also like how he doesn’t seem to care about being associated with feminine things. The marketing leans into this for some reason, pairing him up with Hello Kitty, which I think is great.
He projects this “I’m too strong to care about gender” aura I’m obsessed with. It might stem from his dehumanization as well. Both himself and other people are not really sure if he’s a curse or a human, so why on earth would he outwardly identify as man? It's not like curses have genders to begin with.
But the moment anyone tries to concretely observe him, like Mahito or Yuji touching his soul, he flips out. That really captures the vibe of “acknowledge my existence, but do not perceive me.” And if you find that relatable you should read Umineko.
Sukuna is on the border of everything, so he reads like an allegory for multiple minority groups all at once.
He’s masculine in his presentation, but isn’t considered human enough to be called a man. That’s very trans of him.
He’s extremely ablebodied at a glance, but his abnormal features make normal day to day life a constant battle. That’s very invisibly disabled of him.
He may be Japanese by blood, but he’s deemed a monster and pushed out from society for not meeting certain physical features. That’s very biracial of him.
#cactus yaps?#JJK as a whole is extremely gender. But saying that aloud makes me feel insane.#This is also why I refuse to use pronouns with Kenjaku. Any gender interpretation of Kenjaku is correct.#That’s why I hate cis people’s obsession with Kenjaku’s original body. Functionally it doesn’t matter.#Kenjaku can be literally any gender and the story validates it in some way.#Kenjaku is genderfluid/genderless because of all the body swapping? Valid.#Kenjaku is a man because of the violently misogynistic disregard for women’s bodies and preference for male vessels? Valid.#Kenjaku is a woman because of the yonic imagery and pregnancy obsession and nurse Kenny? Valid.#But the second anyone claims those things ''prove'' the sex of Kenjaku’s OG body? I’m biting you.#This also annoys me about Tengen who literally turns the reader and goes ''I no longer have a gender.''#People still assign a binary gender to them because their otherwise androgynous human form has long hair and the granny comment.#Enbies just say stuff like that. ''I’m secretly an old man.'' <Words of a creature I know.#Oh and my bestie who is a man will be like ''My gender is also granny.''#Don’t get me started on Uraume either.#Now that I think about Sukuna being a group of 3 dubiously gendered people and being cis makes no sense.#<The scale has tipped into mental illness.#asks#jujutsu kaisen#ryomen sukuna
