#and half of the jjk fandom

Sukuita fan reacs at the fucked up twin flames bullshit Itadori Yuji and Sukuna got going on:

[hxhhasmysoul]

idk what is with this fandom... the same people who hate sukuna and are oh so sad about gojou, also buy into what sukuna said to yuuji in this chapter... i guess maybe sukuna displayed gojou's level of comeback so they latched onto it. what can yuuji possibly do? how can sukuna be even defeated if gojou failed and kashimo failed.

since the beginning yuuji's shown superhuman physical abilities. plus amazing tactical sense and superhuman speed at which he learned things, especially all things jujutsu. but his most impressive and consistent ability has been his super reinforced soul capable of caging sukuna. and that soul did its job without him knowing how to influence it. now he's been given guidance. he also practiced by ingesting more cursed objects containing souls. he also showed that he can possibly soul swap.

also since the beginning sukuna has shown incredible superiority and detachment towards everyone. except for yuuji. he was ready to mock praise and tease everyone to get more entertaining fights out of them... except for yuuji. yuuji he bullies, diminishes him, tries to break yuuji's spirit. that smells like worry, maybe fear, definitely an attempt at psychological warfare. yuuji irks him, unsettles him.

jujutsu fights are about strength and cursed energy output etc, and so on, but they are also about compatibility as mentioned by gojou and nanami and mahito. also they are about planning and strategy. about understanding jujutsu and the soul, so yourself, your strengths and weaknesses. but also being able to understand your opponent as much as possible, their motivations, their behaviour, their techniques. this is why kenjaku and sukuna bested gojou because they both kept the fight on their own terms. kenjaku by not picking a physical fight at all and making it all about intrigue and cunning, sukuna by exactly tailoring his strategy to his opponent. this is also why gojou lost because even though he knew about the compatibility he didn't think that mattered in his case because he was him, he was gojou satoru, the strongest.

yuuji can win where those two lonely losers failed because:

a) he always performs best when he's fighting alongside others and he's not going in alone. being oriented towards others is the core of his character and it has always been like that. he's bested opponents stronger than him while learning and adjusting during the fight and the presence of others only spurns that on.

b) he's clearly going in with a plan, considering who he's going in with. and he mentioned before that he had a plan how to save megumi. he's been preparing for this. unlike some who decided to wing it...

c) he has a unique understanding of sukuna. and there's also been some hints that there's more to his connection to sukuna, some heian backstory. it's also possible that gojou was right and some of sukuna's technique rubbed off on yuuji, likely sukuna's true technique whatever that is. or at least yuuji has some understanding of it that he could use against sukuna.

d) there's something about yuuji that even sukuna senses and doesn't like. and one thing we can safely say about sukuna at this point, he's got expertise when it comes to these things.

e) yuuji was made specifically by kenjaku to imprison sukuna, and kenjaku is another expert in their field.

f) sukuna has ruined yuuji's life, has made yuuji question himself constantly, has given yuuji so much trauma and guilt, has taken so many people from yuuji. including megumi who yuuji might still hope to save. yuuji is uniquely biased against sukuna and uniquely motivated. gojou and kashimo had no emotional investment in sukuna apart from "senpai notice me i want to be one of the cool kids like you" and "senpai notice me i want to ride the belly mouth" respectively. yuuji has so fucking much more emotional investment. for him it's super personal on so many fucking levels.

this is why yuuji stands a chance against sukuna. this is why his win will never be an ass pull or main character magic. he's been meticulously built up as a character throughout the manga. if someone pays attention to the story, none of what i've written here is shocking to them.

Sukuna is the Titan of Curses, Destruction, and Bloodshed. He almost overthrew the gods millennia ago. Yuuji is his half-mortal nephew. When Wasuke fades, having been a minor god holding on for the sake of raising his nephew, Gojo, the God of Divinity, appears before Yuuji and brings him to Camp Half-Blood. There he becomes friends with Megumi, the son of the God of the Underworld, and Nobara, the daughter of the Revenge Goddess.

the way jjk relation dynamics are built up you'd think the plot was slice of life family drama or something

I haven't been on twt for days and part of me says I should feel bad for leaving my moots without warning but another part of me feels like I'm not being tied down, the constant stream of interactions were getting overwhelming

idk morgan, the way you talk about people being upset makes me feel kind of stupid. like we're dumb for being upset and sad....and I'm not one of those people blaming yuuta, they could never make me hate him...

but just because you don't care doesn't mean other people are wrong for being emotional over this....idk I feel like there were better ways to say this. but it's okay, I understand you can say what you want on your own blog. still sending you some love and good luck on that internship!

I'm sorry I made you feel that way but I don't really think it's fair of you to accuse of me of being insensitive when you literally say it yourself that I'm being overtly critical of the people who are having an overblown reaction over this. unless you fall under that category I don't really think you have reason to be offended. It's normal to mourn his loss and be upset! I fully respect it! when my FAVORITE character from beartown kicked the bucket I literally cried immobile in bed for 3 days. what I did not do is criticize the author's narrative choices when it actually made sense and go on a crazy bender on twitter/tumblr and start saying nonsensical stuff about the book. that's the normal way of grieving a fictional character I think

I love that Mei Mei is such an off-putting freak. Even if I don't personally like her, I love that she exists. I love that Gege Akutami is not afraid to fuck up, scar up, and kill off his female characters. I love that they're as strange and eccentric and varied as anyone could be.

He doesn't treat them delicately, or with kid gloves. He treats them with the exact same consideration he does his male characters. As vehicles for the story first-- because that's what they are.
