Ok same before BLLK I was like knee deep in JJK (do you have a fav?? I’m personally a raging Inumaki advocate LMAO) but after discovering BLLK and also seeing where the story went…..yeah….i can’t say I’m caught up on all the leaks (everything between Gojo sliced to Yuta copying kenjaku) only because I got so confused and I genuinely have no idea what happened I just know people were dropping like flies left and right…I’m hoping gege has a plan because not to be overly critical but I could not see ANY plot for awhile LMAO it was just kinda an ongoing toss someone into the Sukuna fight tag team whoops they died next person kinda vibe for me too….if I’m being honest I think I was originally captivated by the whole premise of jjk and the fighting curses thing that was most prominent in the content covered up to shibuya but I think I was slowly fading from culling games…something about it just seemed so different from what jjk had built up to be originally (or I just was too hard stuck on its original kinda theme of sorcerer vs curse strictly..simpler times…)

Also I don’t know how much you’ve seen of these but the recent exhibition content?? Where apparently gege clears up some stuff about the camellia being not a camellia and throwing people for a loop like I’m NGL I thought that was kinda ridiculous like huh??? I can’t tell if maybe it’s just a mistranslation but the never ending cycle of “DADDYS HOME”(meme ref I wouldn’t actually call gojo daddy for disclaimer’s sake LOL) to “it’s gojover” burnt me out…but LMAO I def remember reading culling games for the first time and talking to my friend being like yeah I’m just gonna wait for this to be animated because I have no idea how hakaris ct works

I love we have Otoya at one end of the disrespect spectrum yuki at the other and karasu in between LMAO

Ah yes agency my fav word fr!! Whenever I do in depth analysis I find myself gravitating towards talking about agency and will of certain characters I love how you developed this…also talk about scholar?? Pop off the amount of research/knowledge you took into account while writing this omg

And fr!! Bonafide soccer losers I’m sure they’d find their way to a field and a ball no matter what au they’re slapped in LMAO that being said cherry tree is also a personal fav of mine from your portfolio…the characterization for Rin was on point and aligned a lot with what I’ve understood to be his character LOL but yeah that tag is flooding (I could be wrong but sometimes I feel like saes is even more active??) it’s gotta be something about the Emo teal eyed dudes I’m somehow hoping at some point in bllk we see Rin get to redevelop his interests outside of soccer..(like the horror games and his personality kinda pre-sae trauma) but we’ll see how that goes LMAO

Back to research DOWN TO THE PLANTS IN HIORIS FIELD goodbye that’s some next level research I’m honestly living for it though!!! I mean I wouldn’t know which plants are native to Japan off the top of my head but I can imagine if I read something wrong about something I was familiar with I’d be a little irked the dedication you have is too real

SHHSHS GLAD TO HAVE YOU TOO HEHE I’m also hoping tabieitaken nation RISE honestly I’m sure they will I think they’re just kinda like…idk paywalled for lack of a better term behind the anime only/stuck in manga barrier I’m hoping we’ll get to see them in action from ep1!! Also yuki always almost seems like the third wheel to me LMAOA I think he’s just too dignified to stoop to their level of goofiness sometimes he’s just got that air to him….honestly I’m just excited to see all the new s2 characters in action with their dynamics and relations etc….im also kinda a nanase stan I can’t wait to see my headband boy in action…I think it’s funny how Isagi gets surrounded by people with accents and dialects I can fs see him being lost when they use region specific vocab LMAO

THANK YOUUU I know I just braindumped there so do take your time LMAO…I’m excited to read the karasu one shot and your other event works too!!! Will be back for commentary with each release o7

Also that shot of Karasu from s1 has me dying eightbit better give him compensation and do him justice s2 because that’s not Karasu that’s Kevin….like who is that man…..but no you’re blessing the Karasu tag never stop LMAOAO

-Karasu anon

i’m in pretty much the same boat!! i loveddd jjk and was p active in the fandom from like 2022-early 2024. my favs were megumi kashimo and yuta!! but i loved inumaki for a while hehe. i think some of my best fics are for jjk in terms of the kind of story i like to write 🤔 but i do agree that recently i’ve felt v lukewarm abt it

i feel like it’s a trend to hate on things that are popular which i don’t necessarily agree with but i just feel like i don’t really enjoy reading jjk anymore!! and i think a lot of its fans think popular = good which isn’t always the case. i also believe it gets a lot of praise which while some of it is merited (the things jjk does well it does VERY well) some it maybe not so much. for example i’ve seen a lot of people praising jjk for its female cast and honestly i don’t see the appeal. not a single female character is written as well as the male characters (including maki, who as much as i love her and as much as she is def above average for a shonen fc, is not really as well written as people make her out to be imo) and they all have dissatisfactory/vague endings (the way yuki tsukumo’s character was handled was a crime, same w tsumiki). i think a lot of fans think not sexualized automatically means good female character but that’s only one portion of it. jjk is kind of what i mean when i say i’m glad bllk has barely any female characters…i rather they don’t exist than get shelved for the plot/development of male characters/not even fully explored

also the way people were confused about whether nobara died for YEARS after it was shown in the manga and it was only cleared up in an interview is just. idk. i feel like i love what jjk could be (and again, i love a lot of things in it as well!! this is more me explaining why i’m not so into it anymore ig haha) and the things it set up to happen, but the execution isn’t really to my taste. different people will enjoy diff things but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ i keep up with it just because i feel like i have to?? i want to know how it all ends but i’m not emotionally invested like i used to be. also one thing i will say is i see a lot of analysis posts breaking down jjk and pointing out the different subtle details gege has put into it, and while i admire that level of attention i think those kinds of details should only serve to enhance a main story?? like the plot should be able to stand on its own without needing to have a very very deep understanding of many many nuanced topics. but again all of this is my personal opinion!! at the end of the day jjk is wildly popular and many people do enjoy it. gege isn’t perfect but no one is tbf so while i think criticism is good i would never bash on them for their ideas/work. at the end of the day it’s their story and the way they want to tell it is what they’re going to do!!

if soccer didn’t exist in an au they were put in the itoshi bros would simply invent it HAHAH omg i’m glad you liked cherry tree!! that’s like one of my least fav bllk fics i’ve written LMAO i feel like rin is so wiggly to write about (that makes no sense but basically he’s just hard to capture in my mind) that it was difficult despite being a relatively simple request 😫 yes i do think that sae’s tag is a bit more popular than rin’s!! maybe it’s because sae is being set up a bit like the gojo-type character who’s untouchably skilled 🤔 that kind of trope is always a winner w the fandoms i feel…i have to admire i think his haircut is weird asf 😔 i don’t think he’s UGLY but i also don’t know what everyone sees in him (i have to be careful though because the last two times I said this it was abt kaiser and otoya and. you saw how that turned out.)

PLSSS omg yes i sat there making sure white butterflies even exist in japan and everything 😭 there’s a line in hollyhock too where y/n compares reiji hiiragi to a hornet and originally the line referred to him as a vulture but apparently japan doesn’t have native vultures?? so it wouldn’t make sense coming from someone in the sengoku era to refer to a bird she would have had no chance at ever seeing. my philosophy is that it’s one of those things that people won’t care about if you forget (and sometimes artistic liberties can be taken) but the more careful you are to ensure you’re being as accurate as possible, the more the work really feels cohesive and believable ig?? 🤔 idk i think it just gives a more seamless vibe and you can def tell when an author is knowledgeable or at least did some research before writing abt a subject!! it always elevates a fic to me and i’d like to give that same experience to my own readers hehe plus i’m a bit of a perfectionist so i’d make myself do it anyways most likely

I AGREE i can sense them becoming popular they really are just fandom tropes as actual characters!! as long as their animation does them justices 😭 otoya and yuki looked okay in the last ep but karasu…they did my man a lil dirty icl 😔 omg that screenshot of him is so funny to me idek what it is he just looks so odd!! same in the epinagi movie though not to that extent 😔 i think part of it is that he’s drawn so sharply in the manga that in the anime he looks a little too soft?? for lack of a better word. also i got so used to him having black hair that i forgot his hair is technically purple-blue (karasu with black hair and purple eyes you will forever live in my heart). i was rewatching bllk a while ago and i saw him in that moment (he’s in the background i think he’s either judging shidou or judging raichi and gagamaru) and i had to rewind like HELP IS THAT KARASU?? but he’s kinda cute though…w his little 😒😕 expression…

also this is unrelated but idk how i just realized kurona was number 4 in second selection?? the way he beat literally every relevant character except rin is so funny (although tbf idrk how aryu and tokimitsu got 2nd and 3rd but then completely faded from relevancy after second selection)

#answered asks #jjk spoilers #<- adding that just in case someone is going through my blog or smth

Their S/O is Sukuna’s Other Vessel

Toge Inumaki X Reader, Yuji Itadori X Reader, Satoru Gojo X Reader, Megumi Fushiguro X Reader

Requested: Anon

Request: Could you do how Toge, Itadori, Gojo, and Megumi would react to the reader being a second vessel of Sukuna but like the total opposite of Itadori? So instead of the bubbliness the reader is just violent. The reader has been at this for a while and is the ideal vessel for Sukuna. They are strong, witty, and overall just don't really care what happens around them. I hope that's enough to go off of…

🆗 So here are some things that you might want to know to help you understand where I’m going with this idea of mine.

🆗 So first up I decided to spin the story a little so that Sukuna had a physical vessel (Itardori) someone who matches his physical abilities and energy levels and a cognitive vessel (reader) someone who matched his mental strength and intelligence.

🆗 The fact that the reader shares a similar mind to Sukuna means that she used the same abilities as him and even has the potential to access his domain expansion.

🆗 The reader is also a lot more susceptible to suggestions from Sukuna and has a hard time actually turning him down.

🆗 While they’ve never eaten a finger, the connection to the domain expansion allows him to talk into their head the same way he does with Itadori. They can also hear conversations between Itadori and Sukuna if they are close enough.

Toge Inukami

🍙 The cursed energy rolling off of you when Gojo first met you meant that you were added to the first years before anyone else could ask any questions.

🍙 You really started piquing everyone's interest when you used your cursed energy for the first time, to those who knew of him you were very similar to Sukuna. You were watched carefully after that.

🍙 You had no clue why and there was nothing of note for a whole year, instead you lived like any other student and even started dating Inumaki.

🍙 You worried him a lot, your ability to find a fight and insist on the most homicidal route was a talent to some and a nuisance to most others.

🍙 Inumaki spent a long time running around after you and making sure that you didn’t cause any trouble.

🍙 You only ever stepped forward to help Maki, Panda or Toge. They were the only people that you cared to save and in all honesty frustrated anyone else that had to deal with you.

🍙 Inumaki made sure to always be close to you, no one really knew how he did it but he was always able to calm you down and steer you away from a brewing problem.

🍙 His naturally quiet nature helped to keep you calm but if someone says anything about him then its game over.

🍙 Though he didn’t do it very often he could talk to you, you’d always been good at protecting yourself with cursed energy, so after the first time that he used it on you it never worked again.

You should have known that this exchange was going to end terribly, you for obvious reasons had been paired with Inumaki, you were both heading through the forest trying to locate the curse that you needed to exorcise but when you found it there was a much bigger problem in the form of a special grade “that’s not supposed to be here.” You mumbled.

“Yellow fish tuna, prawn roe.” Inumaki said as he opened the collar of his jacket “careful.”

“Same to you.” You mumbled lowering yourself into a fighting stance “Ready?”

“Salmon.” He answered.

“Hey!” You yelled, flicking your fingers and causing a slash over the curses shoulder, it turned to the both of you and the fight that ensued from there was something you hadn’t expected, it was stronger than you thought and before long you were taking steps back instead of forward, you were scared of it by any mean but it wasn’t allowing for you to actually get a hit in, you dragged your arms up to block your face before kicked off of it to make some space between you. You looked for Inumaki and saw that he was fine, it seemed that he had kept his distance, he had said something to help you put the distance between you.

“You need some help there sweetheart?” A voice asked, at first you thought that it was the curse in front of you “here.” you felt a pressure on your hands as they were pushed together, your fingers moved into position “channel you energy.” Before you knew what was happening you there was a domain expansion, Inumaki made his way to you keeping close “Malevolent Shrine.” You looked up at the throne where you could see Sukuna sitting, his chin lazily rested on his knuckles as he watched you.

“What did you do?” You asked.

“I didn’t do anything sweetheart.” Sukuna answered as he leaned forward. “You did this all by yourself.”

“And what do you expect us to fight for your entertainment?” You asked.

“I’m not opposed.” Sukuna answered as he appeared at the bottom of the bones that stacked under his throne. You felt Inumaki step closer to you “mm, You look stronger than the other kid, at least in the head.”

“How are you here?” You asked, your eyes moved to the curse that had started moving to the left of you

“That punk is around here somewhere, apparently you both just have to be close to each other for me to travel between your minds, but it seems that you can move in and out of my domain as you please.” Sukuna grunted.

“How frustrating for you.” You smirked.

“Isn’t it so are you going to kill it now?” He asked.

“What?” You asked.

“The curse.” He answered.

“Oh I forgot that thing was here.” You looked at it and frowned.

“You should kill it.” Sukuna smirked “you’ve got a 100% success rate here, there’s no way that you'll lose this fight.” You felt Inumaki link his hand with yours coming to stand next to you.

“Leave her alone.” He ordered, he was sure that the curse speech wouldn’t work on Sukuna but he had to try something to stop you, you should keep the curse alive, it still might be able to tell you something about why it’s here. Sukuna glared at Inumaki as he looked him over but that was enough to snap you out of your confusion, you snatched your hand from his pushing them together and dispelling the expansion.

“You know you really are stronger than the brat, maybe you're worth something.” Sukuna’s voice traveled through your head before his presence was gone.

“Salmon Roe!” Inumaki grabbed your attention before pulling you with him to start running, it seemed like the curse wasn’t going to let you get that close to killing it again, branches followed close behind you as you both tried to get away from it.

It wasn’t long before you ran into Megumi and Kamo “Inumaki get them out of here.” You ordered as you turned, slashing at the branches that were heading their way, unfortunately the ones closest to you managed to scratch your arm but it was nothing too bad, you all met on the courtyard floor.

“A curse in Jujustu Tech, who made this barrier?” Kamo asked.

“Probably the curse user who’s working with it.” Megumi answered and you looked at him and nodded.

“We haven’t seen anyone else around though, they split up before we ran into it.” You explained.

“Do you all know something about this?” Kamo asked.

“Yes, I think this is the special grade that attacked Gojo.” Megumi answered. They were probably looking for Itadori although you may well have put a target on your own back now.

“Tunamayo.” Inumaki said, putting up a hand sign that resembled a phone.

“Right we should call Gojo.” Magumi nodded before Megumi could actually call Gojo. The curse moved to stop him, you pulled Inumaki out of the way as he ordered it to stop moving after a few hits they all realized that they weren’t hurting it.

“Who hurt it before?” Kamo asked.

“I did but I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it again, if I move it moves.” You answered, eyes never leaving the curse in front of me “not to mention I might be close to my limit now.”

After a series of running and hitting back you were all backed into a corner, Inumaki was at his limit and the other two didn’t really have anything that could hurt the thing so it was all or nothing “well now I’m pissed,” You mumbled as you lifted your hand and flicked your hand cutting deeper into its shoulder.

“Blast away!” Inumaki yelled as he pulled you back, your body reaching its limit was easy to move, but you were still able to catch him as he fell, leaving Maki and Megumi to continue the fight you looped Inumaki’s arm over your shoulder ready to leave.

“Bonito Flakes.” Inumaki managed to say and you looked at him and then where he was pointing and groaned, you definitely couldn’t carry back two people but he definitely was not going to talk to you if you left Kamo here, before you could agonize too long because Nishimiya showed.

“Hey grab your guy we need to get them out of here!” You ordered.

“To where!?” She asked.

“I don’t know outside the barrier, do I look like an expert to you!?” You asked and she glared at you before picking up Kamo “Go as fast as you can, do not stop.”

“If you tell me not to move one more time I’m going to put you in this bed!” You warned as you kicked your feet over the side of the bed.

“Seems that you're feeling better.” Gojo said as you stood from the bed.

“I was never not okay.” You grumbled and picked up any accessories that they had taken off of you when you had gotten to the school’s hospital wing.

“Mm. What happened out there?” He asked.

“I’m sure you already know that.” You answered, attempting to walk past him.

“Fine. Do you want to know why it happened?” Gojo asked, you stopped moving, you gestured for him to keep talking, Gojo went on to explain your place as Sukuna’s cognitive vessel.

Inumaki was happy to see you, while he was told that all he needed was to rest his throat, you were kept overnight for observation and that worried him. “Kelp!” He smiled as you walked into the room, you smiled at him but he could see that it didn’t reach your eyes. “Mustard leaf?”

“I’m okay.” You softly but he wasn’t having hit he pulled your face to look at him and you tried your hardest to convince him, you decided the best thing to do was tell him the truth after all he did see everything, after explaining everything you attempted to get up and leave because you had a habit of isolating yourself when something was bothering you, he didn’t let you get too far before grabbing your arm and pulling you back onto the bed with him.

“Tuna.” He mumbled before tracing the word ‘stay’ into the bottom of your back.

“Are you sure?” You asked.

“Salmon.” He answered as you relaxed into him until you needed to get up.

Yuji Itadori

👆 You were friends with Yuji before either of you knew about cursed energy and everything that came with it.

👆 You found out about cursed energy before Yuji did because you met Mahito, he told you about cursed energy and even showed you what he could do, however the real problem came when he tried to change you, he noticed something which made him pull away.

👆 From there on it seemed the cursed energy in you started to manifest and you were finding something new about yourself every day, you never told Yuji about anything that happened.

👆 You were both still very close and you did everything together, you even went to visit his grandfather with him, neither of you ever officially asked the other, people just assumed and you never corrected them.

👆 Yuji found out that you were lying to him the night that he ate the finger, though he never held it against you, he knew that he would have done the same if you didn’t know about cursed energy.

👆 Yuji was thankful to have you with him because nothing ever fazed you, you made sure that he knew that you weren’t going to let them kill him.

👆 You were enrolled in Jujutsu Tech with Yuji, you became fast friends with Megumi. Nobara took a little longer but you got there in the end.

👆 The second years were weary of you because they met you before they met Yuji. You were very similar to how Sukuna had been described in old passages and documentation kept about him, not to mention the strong energy that rolled off of you.

👆 When Gojo told you about the Higher ups idea of dealing with you and Yuji, you said “I will kill them all if they even attempt to carry out that plan, warn them if you like their knowledge of my threat makes no difference.”

Megumi never called you, and yet his contact name stayed on the screen, you answered the phone and what you heard worried you, you started moving before you even knew what the problem was, you could hear Sukuna’s gravelly voice and while Megumi wasn’t actually talking to you, you could hear the heavy breaths, this was a fight that he wasn’t going to win. You knew that you should have been sent with them, the fact that they had split you up meant that they were up to something. You couldn’t ever prove that but you knew.

You managed to get there just in time to pull Megumi out of the way of one of Sukuna’s attacks, you took a defensive stance in front of him. “Mmm I thought they had you under house arrest or something.” Sukuna smirked as he leaned forward slightly.

“I was not on house arrest.” You glared at him, your eyes shifting over Yuji’s body to check for injuries.

“Are you checking me out brat?” Sukuna asked and you looked at him.

“I’m checking my boyfriend for any wounds.” You answered.

“Well in that case, he’s missing his heart, and the only way that you get it back is if he beats me in a fight.” He pointed behind you and Megumi.

“Is that because you know I can beat you?” You asked.

“More like I don’t want to ruin the only other chance I have of being free of this seal.” Sukuna answered and you frowned.

“What are you talking about?” You asked.

“You think that you're both together because it was your choice, you're drawn together, the body and mind of Ryomen Sukuna.” He stepped forward, while Yuji had a strong body, Sukuna could tell that you were the one more suited to being his vessel, your mind was far better suited “Actually if you make a deal with me right now I’ll restore your boyfriend's heart.”

“What deal?” You asked.

“(Y/N) don’t do it! We’ll find another way to get Itadori back!” Megumi tried to grab your attention.

“How about this..? If I bring back this brat’s heart, when the time's right you will give me your mind.” Sukuna suggested, you were about to tell him to get lost when you sensed a change in the air.

“(Y/N) looks like I really messed up this time, you're always cleaning up my messes. How about you let me deal with this one?” He asked.

“Yuji…” You stepped forward catching his body and falling to the ground with him.

It took them a long time to pry you away from the body but once they did, you locked yourself away in your room. At first you thought that hearing Yuji’s voice was normal, you guys had never really been apart so never being able to see him again was the worst thing that could have happened, however that night, you didn’t think that you’d be able to sleep but as you tried to imagine a world where things were different you ended up somewhere you never thought possible. Your feet were wet, why were they wet? You frowned when you opened your eyes. The red glow from the water beneath you made you uneasy “(Y/N)?” You looked up, he was standing there alive and breathing.

“Yuji?” You asked.

“What are you doing here?” Yuji asked “are you okay!?”

“She’s fine, idiot, this is my domain expansion, she can come and go as she pleases considering she’s the vessel that they sealed my mind into. “And while it’s promising that you managed to get here all on your own, I don’t need you here right now.” Sukuna flicked his hand and next thing you knew there was a sharp pain in your shoulder and you were awake, you looked around and saw that you were standing in the middle of a room, the walls were white, there was a table where you noticed Yuji’s body.

“(Y/N)?” You looked over and saw Gojo was sitting on the other side of the room, Ijichi was standing next to him and it seemed that Shoko had taken a step back away from you. “What are you doing here?”

“I don’t know, I thought I was sleeping but-” You took your hand away from your shoulder to see the blood there.

“What happened?” Gojo asked, standing up and moving towards you carefully.

“Yuji isn’t dead.” You mumbled as you looked over at the body, you could see that the hole left by Sukuna had healed. “Who fixed him?”

“You did.” Gojo answered. “How do you know that he’s still alive?”

“He called it his domain expansion, Sukuna I mean.” You answered. “I’ll kill him one day.”

“I bet you will.” Your eyes moved over to your boyfriend sitting up.

“Yuji!?” You asked, moving forward and wrapping your arms around his neck. “What happened after he pushed me out?”

“I don’t remember.” Yuji answered, his eyes landing on your shoulder. “I knew he hurt you! Bastard, I'll kill him!”

“Alright everyone let’s calm down, (Y/N) let Shoko fix you up and Ijichi will get you some clothes, Yuji.” Gojo ordered.

Once everyone was fixed up Gojo gave you both a moment to talk “Are you sure that you're okay?” Yuji asked as he ran his hand over your bandaged shoulder.

“I’m the one who should be asking you that considering you were dead.” You giggled.

“I’m fine, you healed me, remember?” Yuji asked.

“Yeah I guess but-”

“No buts.” Yuji smiled and kissed your nose. “After I’m done with this training I'll be right back by your side, nothing will change.”

“You better, otherwise I’ll kill you myself.” You warned him and you both heard Sukuna's dark chuckle, a reminder of the entity that you needed to kill.

Satoru Gojo

👀 When you were a kid people were scared of you, if you didn’t like something you got rid of it, that was how the Higher-ups ever found out about you, you didn’t care about what the school stood for but you wanted to go somewhere that was going to help you get stronger.

👀 The fear continued when you started a Jujutsu Tech and you didn’t care you kept to yourself you weren’t there to make friends anyway.

👀 Unfortunately for you, a training class between classmates put you on Gojo’s radar, he honestly had no idea who you were, even if you were in the same class as him but trust me he knew you after that training session.

👀 You were the only person who made him have to actually concentrate of training, you were going for the kill and he got the feeling that you honestly didn’t care what happened to him or anyone else.

👀 This was confirmed when you were sent on a mission with him, he found that you were literally there to kill everything in sight, you had no intention of finding the missing people or saving them if you did come across them.

👀 Gojo wanted nothing more than to get to know you better so he did what did best become the most annoying person that you knew, no matter what you did or how many times you tried to behead him with your technique he came back for more.

👀 No one outside of the two of you knew how you ended up together and honestly it probably had something to do with his persistence in getting to know you, when you finally stopped fighting for him you started falling for him instead.

👀 Gojo was about the only person that you couldn’t beat and therefore the only person that you listened to when he told you to stop and honestly that wasn’t very often.

👀 It was soon noticed that you actually tolerated him so you paired together for everything and that only meant that you got closer.

👀 Gojo would often use you as a distraction, for whatever he was doing, and there was rarely anything that could hurt you more than you could hurt it, he never had to worry about you.

👀 When Gojo became a teacher he brought you with him, you were never a teacher but you knew of his students and the potential that they carried but when Yuuta was brought to the school he brought you a new challenge in the form of Suguru Geto.

You felt the curses' presence before you heard the principal yelling and honestly you almost didn’t show up because you never really liked doing anything that you were told to do but when the presence of curses increased the curiosity was piqued. You appeared just as a threat was made “Careful Gojo your students are very much within my range.” Geto warned, with a flick of your wrist all of the lower level spirits were cleaved in half.

“Don’t get cocky now because you're well in mine.” You warned him as you finger swipe from left to right causing a cut to appear on his cheek.

“How dare you!?” A shrill voice sounded from behind him and your eyes moved to the girls that were standing there.

“Easy pray… You shut them up or I will.” You warned him, Geto looked behind him, the look on his face must have made them step back.

“Are you always late to the party?” Geto asked.

“I’m not late if I never intended on showing up.” You argued, shoving your hands in your pockets “The response just wasn’t speedy enough for me.” You looked around for a second before smiling “so are you going to leave or am I going to slit someone’s throat?” You disappeared from your place in front of Geto appearing behind the girls “maybe I’ll kill a twin.”

“You're really going to endanger the kids here?” Geto asked.

“I’m not a teacher here but if they belong to you then absolutely.” You smirked, the cursed energy rolling off of your bodies made the girls feel weak. When you looked up Gojo noticed that your normal (Y/E/C) iris had turned red.

“Geto leave!” Gojo warned him, he then turned to the people behind him “move the kids somewhere safe.” It seemed like everyone was getting the message, the feel of your energy pushing through and almost immobilizing the lower level sorcerer was enough, Geto managed to get to the twins as you stepped away from them.

This had happened before, there were a few occasions where this had happened before, Gojo knew that the power flowed through you wasn’t yours and when it took over he had to bring you back. The people fleeing the area knew that something was wrong when Gojo put up a vale. “What set you off this time?” He asked more to himself than anything else.

“She’s smarter than you think you know, just because she never liked him but she knew that you did, she knows what he means to you.” You answered, referring to yourself in third person, it was rare that you’d talk when this happened.

“Alright then who are you?” Gojo asked, hands now forced into his pockets.

“I’m sure you could figure it out, Six Eyes.” You smirked, Gojo took a hand out of his pocket and lifted the bandages over his eyes, when he looked at you properly he could see the silhouette leaning over you, he recognised the four arms and the two heads.

“Ryomen Sukuna.” Gojo sighed before teleporting behind you, he easily knocked you out, it seemed even in this form you had no intention of hurting him.

You groaned as you woke up, groaning at the cold hard floor underneath you “what am I doing on the floor?” You asked, realizing that your head was actually resting on his leg.

“I lost you again.” He answered.

“Oh sorry about that.” You mumbled sitting up.

“He talked to me this time.” Gojo said softly and you looked back at him. “Ryomen Sukuna, that’s the power that you're using.” You shrugged as you looked at him.

“There’s nothing that we can do about that now.” You sighed.

“You don’t know that yet.” Gojo answered.

“Even if we did, what happens to me then, I become some weak non sorcerer who needs people to protect her!” You argued as you stood up Gojo followed suit, his bandages back on his eyes as he smiled.

“I for one would love that.” He teased as he brought down the vale and looped an arm around your shoulder.

“Yeah I bet you would.” You mumbled, pushing his arm off your shoulder.

“Aw don’t be like that!” He whined as he followed after you, while he had opted for changing the mood of the conversation he was sure not done with it and he was going to look for a way to help you, no one should be chained to a curse that powerful and that destructive.

Megumi Fushiguro

🐺 You were snarky from the day that you were born, if people said right you turned left (unless you stood gain significantly from listening to them).

🐺 There was a reason for that though, when you were a kid you called him your imaginary friend, he always told you what to do and protected you from danger, he made sure that all the strange creatures around you couldn’t hurt you.

🐺 When you turned 13 years old he disappeared, as most imaginary friends did so you assumed that was it, you never really thought about him again, though you missed the safety that you felt when you were with him.

🐺 So you decided to become the best at anything that you did and most of the time you succeeded.

🐺 You were however very aggressive with people who crossed you, they started the fight and you finished it, no matter what it was about or how they presented their argument.

🐺 When you met Megumi you were the only first year students in Jujutsu Tech, so you guys became closer than most people because you were the only ones in your class.

🐺 You trained together, you went on missions together and his demon dogs seemed to like you so he trusted you a little more.

🐺 Megumi had seen the way that you seemed to enjoy yourself when you killed the cursed spirits on missions and honestly wished that he could face any challenge the way that you did.

🐺 You were never fazed by the people, environment or curse you were facing. You showed up, you made a plan and you won no matter what.

🐺 Megs was the only person that you talked to and so by nature you became closer than friends, no one talked to your guys so no one questioned it but they were thankful when Megumi would pull you away from a fight before it actually started.

You and Megumi had been looking for a special grade cursed object per Gojo’s request and you had both managed to find that it wasn’t where it was supposed to be, it was easy to find the family that was supposed to have had it, you guys split up to find a member of the family, you went to the house, while Megumi went to the hospital, when you got there, there was no one at home but there was a residual from the object that you were looking for, it was in the house recently.

You followed the energy back to the school, after jumping the fence you followed the energy to a classroom “What do you think you're doing?” You asked the two school kids that had unwrapped the finger.

“Behind you!” The girl pointed and you reached behind you your hand easily pushing through the curses chest killing it, you flicked the purple blood off of your hands as you turned back to them, your eyes immediately realizing that the two students were gone.

“God damn it… Well they're dead.” You mumbled to yourself as you pulled out your phone, Megumi was calling you.

“Where are you?” He asked.

“I’m at the school, they already unwrapped the seal, I don’t know where the finger is but there are already curses here.” You muttered, you turned around the corner and came face to face with one of the curses running around “aren’t you pretty? Megs I’ve got to go, I'll see you in a minute.”

“You have to find the kids that were there, we have to make sure that they are okay.” He ordered.

“That’s really not my forte.” You reminded him dodging out of the way of the attack.

“But you can do it.” Megumi reminded you and you sighed.

“I’ll try.” You hung up the phone and easily killed the curse in front of you before running out of the classroom “where did you go?” The amount of curses in the area drown out any human signatures you would usually be able to “God damn it!” In your hurry to find them you didn’t realize the hand that flung out and smacked you in the face. You flicked your hand and sliced the thing in half before side stepping his falling body. “Got ya!” You came face to face with the curse spirit that had taken the girl and groaned, there was no way to kill it without hurting the girl, at least not with your ability.

“There you are!” You heard Megumi approaching, the dogs came to stand next to you before he did.

“I can’t kill it without hurting her.” You informed him and he gritted his teeth and nodded but before either of you could think of a plan the window shattered and a boy came flying through it, he made quick work of getting the girl away from it and you killed it the first chance that you got before Megumi gave the dogs to go ahead to eat what was left of it. “Who’s that?”

“His name Itadori.” He answered as he walked towards the classroom where you could hear the kid talking. “I would ask what you're doing here but good job.” You could feel something heading this way but you didn’t see it until it was too late, it happened so fast git grabbed Megumi and flung him out of the building “you need to go!” You jumped out of the hole created putting yourself between Megumi and the curse, you were about to put an end to it but the Itadori kid appeared out of nowhere to try and fight the curse. “You should probably go.”

“You guys are in a lot of trouble!” He yelled as he was flung around.

“We really wouldn’t be if I didn’t have to try and keep you alive while killing that thing!” You yelled as you slashed at the lower art of his stomach.

“Don’t worry I’ve got this!” Itadori yelled, lifting the curse finger.

“Don’t do that!” You yelled but it was like he couldn’t hear you and before you could do anything else, you smacked across the bridge, you flung yourself back up on the bridge but you could feel that your shoulder was out of place, it was then that you realized that there was no curse instead your eyes fell on the body standing the railings.

“This wasn’t the body I expected.” He said and you turned to you with a smirk on his face. “It’s been a little while hasn’t it brat?”

“I must have hit my head real hard.” You mumbled, pressing your hand to your forehead and pulling it away to find that there was blood on it.

“You were supposed to be the ideal vessel.” He sighed “but this will have to do, can't change it now.”

“What are you talking about?” You asked.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.” He sighed and now as he stood over you, you felt threatened, the imaginary friend that had made you feel so protected when you were younger, only made you feel in danger now, you put some space between you and the man in front of you also putting your body between him and Megumi.

“Who is that?” Megumi asked, “does he know you?”

“If I tell you, you’ll think that I’m insane.” You answered.

“I taught her everything that she knows, from the day that she was old enough to see me.” The man said. “All in preparation to be my vessel but it seems that even the best planning may hit some snags.” Before either of you could say anything Gojo appeared from there he took down Itadori and we all headed back to Jujutsu Tech.

Megumi found you in his room after he came back from a shower, he didn’t say anything at first, he just climbed into bed next to you, you didn’t move for a second before moving closer to him and burying your face in his chest. “Are you going to tell me what he was talking about?” Megumi asked.

“Well you remember how I told you that I was a weird kid because I had an imaginary friend until the age of 12?” You asked and he nodded “that was him.”

“Ryomewn Sukuna? He was the imaginary friend you talked about?” Megumi asked.

“He looked different back then, I don’t know but now he’s annoying as hell and there’s a human to go with him.” You grumbled, he started running his fingers over you skin and drawing small patterns.

“Mmm. Do you see him at all now?” Megumi asked.

“No.” You answered as you looked around the room. “Look can we stop talking about this for now, let’s just get some rest, we both need it after all.” You didn’t think that you would find sleep easy but you didn’t want to talk anymore. Megumi watched you quietly. He didn't know much about curses manifesting as imaginary friends but he was sure that it wasn’t an impossibility given the power of a child's mind.

Neither of you were sure what was going on but Megumi was sure that you weren’t going to go through it on your own.

hi! can i request an aoi todo finding himself liking reader even though they're not his type? much luv <33

his s/o isn’t his typical type

featuring: aoi todo

obviously, physical appearance matters greatly to him when looking for a potential partner

he makes his standards there pretty clear and yet, somehow he ended up with you

that makes it sound bad but he stopped questioning it ever since he realized he was in love with you

you were quite skeptical of his interest in you. you thought that he was only interested in you for his own advantage and even after he wholeheartedly confessed his love for you, you just thought he was a hypocrite

even so, he decided that he would stop at nothing to prove to you how much you meant to him

he didn’t go to any more takada events nor did he even talk about women that would fit his type

his attention was focused on you and only you

you finally let him take you out on a date and while he was mostly a clueless and clumsy blockhead, he was actually really sweet and considerate

but it really made you wonder what attracted him to you, especially since you were not what would normally catch his eye

so you had to ask him which ended up being kind of awkward. you didn’t want to come off as insecure or anything but in the end, he understood your hesitation

“to be honest, i didn’t really understand it either. but that’s different now. i shouldn’t even question it. i like who i like even if they’re not my usual standard. that’s something that you don’t need to fight.”

he later told you that he thinks you have a great spirit and honestly, your butt is still pretty easy on the eyes. you just have indescribable beauty to him

even though you could stand up for yourself pretty well and he knew that it never stopped him from defending your relationship when he had to

some people either thought was a hypocrite or he was using you for some reason, much like you had thought at the beginning

he wouldn’t let anyone get away with not minding their business

“if you’ve got a problem with me and my badass, gorgeous s/o then we can settle this with a fight. obviously, you’re boring and have no taste. i hate boring people.”

sometimes it wasn’t always the most convenient because he literally would throw down with anyone anywhere

there was one time when you two were with yuji and sukuna just happened to have a few words for him, calling him out about talking up a big game about long legs and fat ass when you don’t fit that description much at all

“i’m sorry, brother. he must pay for his unredeemable words.”

poor yuji way almost in for it. you had to intervene on that one

he’ll insist that he must defend your honor so you just bribe him with kisses and affection so that he’ll listen to you and not try to kill his best friend

“you know, you’re the tallest and have the nicest ass in my eyes.”

he really has a way with words <3

what’s up, wild card night? let’s have some more fun with requests..

Jujutsu Kaisen 158: How far will Megumi go? + is Yuji sleep-walking? + the Culling Games feel like an inter-generational Fight Club

Happy JJK-Sunday!

Overall, yes, chapter 158 was an exposition dump, but it felt very satisfying (read about why at the end). Gege writes so much between the lines that it is nice when he just tells us how things are straight up.

It also finally feels like things are starting to pick up and the chapters are getting longer again.

Buckle your seatbelts JJK fandom... we’re in for a wild ride and the person in the driver’s seat (Gege) is not scared to make us suffer along with his characters.

As always, my favorite moments focus mostly on Megumi but there’s other cool things happening... Like the possibility that Yuji might be “sleep-walking”.

EDIT: I have to confess my interpretation of part of this chapter comes from having misunderstood some of what was happening. More specifically the idea that Yuji is “sleep-walking” and that the Culling Game is an inter-generational Fight Club. Just a heads up.

How far will Megumi go for Tsumiki?

First, I couldn’t help but think of Toji when Megumi reveals he’s the head of the Zen’in clan. I know they look alike, but to me this panel captured the essence of that quiet and intimidating confidence that both Megumi and Toji have.

This reminded me that just like Toji, Megumi seems to share that same excitement for high-stakes battles.

Given this bloodlust the Fushiguros seem to have I’ve been wondering about how things might unfold for Megumi during the CGs.

Megumi mentions the new rule made by Kashimo Kajimo can work out in their favor so that they don’t have to kill anyone.

Does that mean that before the addition of this rule he saw killing others as one of many paths and/or as an inevitable fact if it meant saving Tsumiki?

Remember, Megumi is a tactical thinker. He’s a strategist with high emotional intelligence and a propensity for manipulating his opponent’s behavior. In fact, this whole chapter he flexes his brain (again) and basically turns the CGs into a board game rigged in favor of his goal.

This is, of course, best case scenario while JJK is more like Murphy’s Law on steroids. So we can expect shenanigans and some deaths and lost arms, etc.

But... Am I thinking too much into it? I don’t know why I’m second-guessing myself on this theory but something feels off.

Other interesting bits...

Megumi basically telling Hakari to stop calling him “sea-urchin head”. I love that Hakari even adds the honorific -kun when he says Megumi’s last name. He’s such a kiss ass bahaha

A quick rant about Tsumiki.

Look, I am a MeguMiki fan, but I am kind of tired of hearing “Tsumiki this, Tsumiki that” when Tsumiki is nowhere to be seen (I swear Megumi pines like a high school girl).

All that to say that I’d like to see Gege flesh Tsumiki’s character beyond “comatose sister plot device” and to see them interact since they are clearly very important to each other. Here’s to hoping for a huge payoff

Is Yuji sleep-walking though?

We get a nice little twist in this chapter with everyone finding out that Yuji is already considered to have joined the CGs.

Yuji rightfully guesses it must be Sukuna (who else could it be, really?) but the speculations go down the road of there’s a “binding vow” that forces Sukuna to join the CGs.

While that is possible, we also know Yuji made a binding vow with Sukuna not to remember the binding vow--which means he wouldn’t remember when they switch.

The Sukuna x Yuji dynamic is starting to feel like as Yuji consumes more fingers and absorbs Sukuna into his body AND therefore his soul, Yuji and Sukuna are becoming one.

In case you haven’t read about it, there’s a really cool theory about Sukuna being based on an urban legend surrounding a mummy with two heads that was found.

That being said, this sounds like Yuji is simply becoming evil and yet the Yuji we love somehow remains a separate entity from his evil self just like in the two-headed mummy example.

And if you think about it, Sukuna has been described as a two-faced monster before.

If the information in Yuji’s soul is as strongly rooted in the body the way Toji’s was, then, this explains why Yuji could remain in control in the beginning. But is it a matter of time before Sukuna takes over? He seems to be loosing his grip.

Which brings me to the next point...

Are the Culling Games an Inter-Generational Fight Club?

I personally loved Kashimo Kajimo’s introduction into the story. The vibe I got from the whole thing is that these sorcerers enjoy battling each other out.

The thirst to fight and grow by defeating stronger and stronger opponents is a common Shonen trope after all.

This brings up bigger questions. Especially the fact that Kashimo Kajimo mentions “400 years ago was a little better than this.”

We also know Sukuna has been around for 1000 years and lived during the Heian period.

So it makes me wonder how often Sukuna takes a host, lives, then dies again only to be brought back to life again.

Did he live from Heian all the way to 400 years ago?

He does say “Jujutsu sorcerers are a pain no matter the era”.

Seriously, for how long has Kenjaku been trying to execute this master plan of his?

It looks like we can expect some crazy battles up ahead and quite possibly some deep character transformations. I’m looking forward to what Gege has in store for us as much as I’m dreading it.

A note about leaks and why I read them

Someone in the reddit thread for chapter 158’s leaks mentioned that they wondered if they should just wait to read the chapter when it comes out instead of reading leaks in anticipation of the chapter.

Which made me wonder the same thing.

I went ahead and read the leaks anyways and on first impression, chapter 158 sounded… well… boring for lack of a better word.

And then the scanlation came out.

Boy, was I wrong.

And that’s exactly what Gege does time and time again with JJK that I love so much. He uses ALL the tropes, but gives them the kind of refreshing and unexpected twist that leaves you feeling satisfied.

Sort of like the end of Cowboy Bebop.

Bang.

I've seen a lot of people do it, so if you are up for it~ Ship your moots!

FINALLY. THE AWAITED LIST OF MOOTS IS COMPLETE. sorry this took forever anon!!

now, this is going to be long & i will try not to overexplain my ship pairings. did i take time to think about each paring? yes. but, will they be serious? no. they are dumb & silly.

let the crack pairings begin <3!!

@dekusneakers x BAKUGOU & TODOROKI now you would think? sneakers in a throuple? how come? mmm simple. i couldn’t choose one for her so she gets both. the more the merrier. besides, she deserves love from both sides, kisses on both cheeks. one begrudgingly smooch & one icy kith. as a deku kin, she’s completely satisfied. you’re welcome

@izusun x AIZAWA & ORCA similarly, i can’t have my bestie here with just ONE babe. so, i thought why don’t we get a fatherly figure & a dad bod to give her all the love she needs. so yes, bestie, you two deserves hugs at both sides of you. a twiggy one & a muscly one. the sun needs some shade, & that shade is these men.

@midnightpirates x SUKUNA he’s a mass murderer !! you can’t— oh, but i can. you see, yanna here hates mahito & guess who was the one to fuck up his shit. ah, that’s right, it was sukuna. two mahito an/tis sitting in a tree <3 it’s the perfect match made in hell.

@goth-himbo-dabi x DOCTOR WHO once again, people might wonder: why not dabi? my answer? it’s because my bby here finds the twiggy men attractive. i know, bummer. & you can’t get any twiggy-er than david tennant & matt smith. but which doctor? all of them.

@minisheku x KAMINARI i see you simp for his dunce face. & honestly, who wouldn’t?? also, i originally put sheepku,, but that’s ,, a bit weird. but, here’s the solution. you OWN a sheepku, with kaminari. ah yes, a modern day family unit. & he can entertain you, as well as be a source of electricity for your drawing tablet !! resources !!

@oyavaski x EN you said he was hot literally in your tags earlier in a reblog. so, i am simply gifting you water to quench your thirst. may you two meet in afo, & fall in love in the subconscious of deku’s mind. will deku feel awks? yeah. but like pfft, he’s so whipped for bkg, he’ll forget you two chilling in the corner of his thoughts.

@okworstie x GOJO & WATARI i never have to look up the gojo tag, like ever. because you’re always plastering his face all over my timeline. & yes, this is a good thing. but, the same applies to watari. i have never even seen bakudiez, or whatever it’s called, but apparently he’s aro, & there’s a moth man, & tape hits post limit thursday’s? yeah just keep both, mimi.

@rrandomtthings x AN/TI as one of fellow loyal, amazing bkdks, i think it’s only fitting that you find true love with a bkdk an/ti. create the banti we seek in our community. the enemies to lovers trope is in your blood, written in your deku genes. so, i dedicate the banti movement with this small offering of a ship. may you find diamonds on the minecraft server & build a diamond cabin.

@believeyourgalaxy x ITADORI you two are such cinnamon rolls !!!! super friendly. super kind. super relatable. & together, you guys can pin over megumi. maybe hopefully, sam can help itadori with his low iq brain to finally get together with megumi. because damn, sam can be like “this is my boyfriend, itadori. & this is itadori’s boyfriend, megumi.”

@wrensknight x SHIRAKUMO i didn’t even know it was oboro birthday, until you not only made a public post about to, but made art for him. cloud boy needs that partner to respect & cherish him entirely. & you just treat him so right?? draw him so good?? i hope you can go cloud watching & then later, ride the clouds with him. till death do you guys uh,, you know,,

@b1m0 x MIDORIYA you can't stand when he gets injured, let alone reckless & trying to save the world, when he should literally be saving his own ass. but, that just means you care about him DEEPLY. plus, you both are wholesome people. obviously two cinnamon rolls make a whole bakery !! & who doesn't want a bakery ?? i sure do! wehjw idk why i brought the point here, but just know you two make sense.

@mysterionrising x RENGOKU & VIGILANTE DEKU it’s that enemies to lovers trope once again !! for someone who wrote him off as annoying the first seconds she met him, kenny sure flipped over to the stan side. ever since then, i can only see kenny when i see rengoku. but, you know who else reminds me of kenny. vigilante deku. it’s super fruity that you have an entire bomb playlist for him. so keep him too !!

@kamishima x KIRISHIMA you are the biggest kiri simp i have ever met. you basically ship kiri with anyone who makes him happy. though, you do have a lot of ships, but with kiri it’s different. & so, i was thinking ‘mmm, if bug ships kiri with so many people?? shouldn’t she ship him with HERSELF?’ boom. suddenly both kiri & bug are happy, with a lovely home. my work here is done.

@ckatsudon x LAW LIET did i dig through your blog. why yes. & you know what i found? reblogs & tags dedicated to L. he’s best boy. he’s precious. he deserves a better end. an end with you. mmhmm !! because if we rewrote death note, where you were light, i think L & light could have been canon. & that also would make you happy. & the rest of the entire world

@drfox-kinnie x UNIKITTY i don’t even know the show, let alone who unikitty is exactly. but, you reblogged a banner, confirming your love for unikitty. & so, i am of course doing you a big favor !! she’s bubbly, friendly, & passionate just like you !! & bestie, while i may not know nothing about her, i know you love her. so, maybe you two platonically have a wonderful time, adventuring with the other wholesome characters !! also,, is she big enough to travel on? if so, look i got you a cat car!!

@midorree x MINACHAKO i ship you with another ship. why? because i can. besides, you are like my moot who is genuinely a head leader of the minachako ship on my timeline, & you have steadily been converting me?? but, i also noticed that mina AND uraraka have stolen your heart, & you have yet to fight them for it back. i hope you three can go into a brawl & see who can grab each other’s hands fastest.

@kiribakuxkacchakolover x HATSUME YOU HAVE IT AS YOUR TITLE HEADER. like you are literally having a billboard that calls mei your cutie patootie. &, you ask, & you shall receive. i hope you two can be the dorkiest nerds together, & ramble for eons & eons. i hope i’m invited to the transformer wedding you two will have <,3

@balaroo x MIRUKO like before, you too have your interest out in the open in your title header. but, you see, miruko is a total babe, with confidence & ego & with this stride that makes even the most alpha male quiver. you would be a total wife to miruko’s girlboss energy & that’s why this ship totally works.

@quix-mix x FREDDY FAZBEAR my precious lil young moot, i dug into your blog & noticed you enjoy the fnaf games. & mmm are you perhaps wanting to cuddle a certain demonic teddy bear? well, i approve. he'll fall in love, head over heels, with your art, he might not possess you right away !! might. but, listen, you always do enjoy the villains (; i gotchu !!

@lonely-rabbit x LANCE you said we’re moots & i agree, we are. however, i have noooo idea what even are your preferences. so, i went digging. & it’s such a coincidence that we bonded over our voltron trauma, & yet you still continue to simp over lance. &, like i don’t blame you !!! he’ll always be dumb baby & so all i ask is that you love him, for our sake. & sanity.

#star responds #THIS TOOK FOREVER STILL #EVEN WITH MY SHORT EXPLANATIONS #but tadaaaa #the moots have now been complied #& ahajsbkssj i HOPE you all like your pairings. even the dumb ones <#I ALREADY KNOW SOME OF YALL WILL LAUGH LMAOO #otherwise if you want to roast me & what my pairing would be. pls feel free to do so #this was so fun omgg thank you anon for this opportunity!!#anon #moots

I wonder what your thoughts are regarding Kamo Sr, especially regarding his goals compared to his host's and Gojo's

It’s kind of hard to give an opinion on Kamo Sr.’s actual character because he’s not established yet? There’s more we don’t know than we know about him. We know he spent 1,000 years making deals for the sake of the change of the world, we know he cares more about cursed energy than individual people, we know he’s absolutely ruthless in his methods of bringing about change, but also that change seems to be just a recreation of the heian era he once lived in, but we don’t really know why he does these things? Geto has both a goal, and an established motivation for those goals. So far we’ve only seen Kamo Sr. in terms of his goals, we know what he’s doing, but not why he’s doing it.

However, since you asked specifically in pertains to his goals I can discuss what his goals are in the broad scheme of things. To understand his goal you have to compare it to Geto, Gojo, and also Yuki Tsukumo.

1. The Kids Aren’t Alright

Geto and Gojo share the same primary goal, to protect young sorcerers so they never have to go through the same trauma that destroyed their youth. However, they have opposite ways of going about it. They both view sorcerery society as something that is corrupt and destroys individual lives, but they place the blame in different areas.

Gojo blames it on the elders on top that hold power in their society. He believes if he can raise students as allies who are strong enough to replace them, then the new regime will replace the old and will get better.

Geto believes the problem lies in the uncaring masses. That a minority (in this case sorcerers) is being oppressed in order to protect a majority of peopel who don’t even know about their struggle.That the masses are blind to the fact that they create curses, and because of this sorcerers have to needlessly sacrifice their lives over and over again in an unchanging system.

They’re both wrong. Like, Gojo is not trying to kill a bunch of people obviously but he’s only addressing half the problem. He believes if he raises children as political allies to replace the elders with a new, better regime things will improve politically and the previous generation will stop oppressing the new generation but he sort of misses out on the fact that he’s still using children as tools.

But Gojo’s like, no they’re my tools, I’ll treat them well, because I’m the strongest when I send them into battle as long as they’re also strong they’ll be just fine. (Joke).

What I mean to say is, basically what Gojo teaches his students is being stronger is what will fix your problems, when Gojo himself knows that doesn’t work. He says after losing Geto “Being strong isn’t enough to save people.” Gojo doesn’t know how to teach his students cooperativeness or getting along with others. He knows that’s what he’s missing but thinks the solution is in raising others to be strong as his, not like... teaching people to come together.

You can look at how the students fight in the Shibuya Arc as an example of this, all of Gojo’s students, run off on their own, try to be strong indivudally and fail. Yuji loses to Choso because he was fighting on their own, Megumi flips out and does a suicide attack, Nobara slips up in a fight against Mahito and gets her face blown off. They also didn’t really listen to other people, Nobara was told to stay back by an adult concerned for her well being because she would get hurt and she recklessly charged in. Megumi advised Yuji not to run off or be reckless, but Yuji did anyway and Sukuna rampaged. Gojo knows strength but he doesn’t know cooperativeness, and he doesn’t seem to understand how complex society’s various abuses can get, it’s not just a bunch of corrupt elders on top, it’s familial abuse, it’s corrupt clan politics, it’s disabled people like Kokichi not getting the help they needed and being used as tools. Gojo’s solution is just, if I raise these kids to be strong enough, then they wont’ be affected by the corruption of the world around them.

Geto’s philosophy is more wrong (obviously), but he at least picks up on the fact of how wrong it is to be using sorcerers as disposable tools. Geto values cooperativeness, and the strength of the bonds between sorcerers. Geto loves empathy, he loves the connections between people and believse that’s what makes people stronger. He calls the people he’s helped his family. I mean, you can tell the difference between what Geto and Gojo value from the way they treat Megumi and Nanako + Mimiko.

Geto raises them as his two daughters. Gojo shows up, offers his protection, gives them money, and then has them live mostly alone. Geto isn’t perfect either but he did offer himself as a substitute family. Also Geto doesn’t predicate his help to Nanako and Mimiko on the fact that they have to be allies to him growing up. Gojo offers his help to Megumi on the condition that, when you grow up you have to be a political ally to my side. I mean he ends up using his family as tools as well, but Geto even directly pulls them out of harm’s way and orders them to retreat, whereas Gojo sent his students as backup to the fight against Yuta and Geto on the premise that they would get hurt, and it would motivate Yuta to fight.

They’re just different in the way they see people in treat people, Geto doesn’t want sorcerers to be used as tools, Gojo is like, what if I made sorcerers into stronger tools, hmmm.... then they wouldn’t get hurt.

Something Gojo doesn’t seem to realize, because he views himself as a tool ultimately too. However, even if Geto were to accomplish his goal of eliminating everyone but sorcerers, young sorcerers would still continue to die because the sorcery world is still politically corrupt.

Gojo idealizes indivudal strength and believes that if he raises people to be individually strong enough, they’ll replace the old regime with something better. (That’s wrong.) Geto idealizes sorcers as a whole community, and believes that if the problem of curses were removed from the world, that Sorcers as a superior species to humans would all be able to come together and make a more ideal world. (That’s also wrong.)

Geto and Gojo both agree on the same idea, that sorcery society should be fixed so that the youth will not have to keep suffering the same mistakes as their predecessors, that no one will have to live the childhood that Geto and Gojo did, but they both have half complete methods for bringing about this fix.

I spent so long on elaborating on that because I wanted to establish, Geto and Gojo, in their own way both care about young sorcerers and would fight the world in order to protect them. Yuki and Kamo Sr. both don’t care about individual people at all. They’re very much the world > people.

2. Who Cares About Them Kids?

I think the fact that Yuki Tsukumo purposefully sat on her hands while people were fighting and dying, waited until the last possible moment to intervene, and then when Yuji was left in the aftermath didn’t really offer that much of a helping hand just sort of walked away shows that she’s not really that hung up on the suffering of individual people.

Both Yuki and Kamo are so focused on cursed energy, that they don’t really pay attention to individual people. They believe the way to change the world lies entirely in cursed energy, ignoring the plights of individual people. You know, even though the world is made up of people.

Yuki’s not outwardly malicious, she’s just careless. The senseless loss of life in the Shibuya incident doesn’t really bother her the way it does people like Yuji, because that’s not where her focus is. It’s not like one of them is the good mad scientist and one of them is the bad one. It’s more like Yuki is lawful because she at least seems to abide by some rules, whereas Kamo Sr. is chaotic because, he purposefully promotes chaos as a way of finding the ideal answer, and also he willfully breaks all of society’s taboos.

When she brings up Toji Zenin she’s not really interested in him as a person, she just thinks he’s a cool science experiment that he wants to study. I once thought Yuki Might have been manipulating Geto but, I was wrong on that front. I don’t think she’s the kind of person who would purposefully manipulate someone to that extent because of the way she views individual people, they’re just not interesting enough. What she’s interested in above all else is cursed energy. The fact that Geto eventually was corrupted didn’t even register to her, because she’s not focused on his individual well being. He’s one piece in a big game she is playing (this is just my guess of course we have nothing on her).

So while opposite Kamo Sr., both Tsukumo and him sound eerily alike, because they both prioritize cursed energy over people.

They have different methodology, but their ideals are the same.

I think Tsukumo at least is an idealist in the grand scheme of things that she doesn’t want to introduce more unncessary suffering into the world to achieve her results, and also is worried about the consequences of her action on a large scale.

But at the same time, like I said she’s not an ally of any one individual. She’s not on anybody’s side. She’s not really sympathetic to Yuji or his plight considering she just, wanders off, because her concern is with the world.

Now to finally get into Kamo Sr.’s methodology, there’s an interesting paradox between his ideals and his method. He says he wants to bring out the potential of human beings, but we’ve estalbished again and again Kamo doesn’t actually care about the welfare of individual human beings.

I thik it’s imporant to show the way he treated Choso and his family. He dismissed Choso and his brothers as failures, before they were even born, and then abadnoned him.

Then he diagnoses the fact that they were wrong because they were a failed creation. That’s like, objectively wrong here. Choso and the others never reached their potential, because he didn’t stick around to see their potential. I think the reason they failed is because you abandoned them about five seconds after they created.

Kamo Sr. wants to experiment with people to force them to grow and reach their full potential, but he also doesn’t really care about what happens to them. He wants to see individual potential, but ignores individuals and looks away from them. See, his methods are at odds with his ideals.

Kamo Sr. also tries to introduce chaos in order to witness that potential, but he like... at the same time is a complete control freak. These ideas conflict each other. He wants to witness chaos to see what will happen, but he always has to be in control. He has to be the one to have a hand in the creation for chaos. His idea of making chaos is, spending 1,000 years making binding vows that he controls, and he releases. A binding vow is represented by chains, that’s like, the opposite of freedom.

Not only that but his directly stated world he wants to create, is a contradiction. He wants to create a new world, because he believes the safety of the modern age has caused sorcery to stagnate as a whole. Which is why he prefers the chaotic heian era, because the danger and constant fighting pushed sorcers to their peak, the so-called golden age of sorcery.

However, his idea for creating a new world comes from... an over idealization of the past, and a desire to hold onto the old ways. His ideals might be to create something new, but his methods are just, the same old thing. Traditionalism. The past was better. Things should be like they were in the past.

This all leads to the fact that Kamo Sr. isn’t actually creating a new world, not really, he’s hitting a reset button on the world and undoing 1,000 years of progress because he thought the Heian era was better.

Kamo Sr. claims to be something else, but he’s actually no different than the elders who currently hold power in the Sorcery World. He’s sacrificing the young people, out of some idealization of the past and a desire to return to how things used to be, when things in the past were never really that good. He says he’s for change, but his actions are actively resisting change by trying to push the world back 1,000 years, because the chaotic heian era was just so much better with its lack of universal medical care, and indoor plumbing.

Tokyo Tech Training- Chapter 4

How was it only Tuesday? You groaned and put your hands over your eyes, slowly sitting up in your bed. You had just had a nice, dreamless sleep: no blindfolds, no stupid jokes, no stupidly moisturized lips (that belonged to a certain man whore) anywhere to be seen. You racked your brain trying to figure out how any of this could have possibly happened within the span of your first four days in the Jujutsu world. The whiplash from the most eventful weekend of your life started to kick in, heavily.

Your feet dangled over the edge of your bed, and you sighed deeply, touching at the bruised flesh on your hips. You pulled the band of your pajama pants down slightly, gaping at the state of your thighs. You couldn’t tell whether the crescent-shaped indents and the violent branding of love bites were from Gojo or...Sukuna. You let out a small laugh at the insanity of the situation.

To your luck and great relief, the higher-ups had ordered a restful “team-bonding” day. From what you had heard, Megumi and Nobara had taken quite the beating as well. Their mission with Nanami to exorcise a certain high-grade curse with patchwork skin proved to be unsuccessful, as the evil thing escaped without a trace into the sewer systems. You pushed your door open and joined your fellow first-years in the hallway. There was a certain comfort in seeing the four of you together, all tired and scarred and bruised, but still smiling nonetheless (except for the ever-deadpanned Megumi). “Hey, I know what we can do today!” Nobara suggested excitedly. “Let’s go movie-hopping!”

Yuji started jumping up and down quickly. “Yes, yes, let’s do it! What movies are they showing today?! Hopefully something with Jennifer Lawrence in it,” he drooled. Megumi rolled his eyes, but nodded. “If I see any curses, though, I’m going to be upset. This was our day to recover.” You agreed with the movie-hopping idea, glad that you could have just one more day to yourselves, doing normal teenager things.

Half an hour later, you met up with your classmates at the front gates of Tokyo Tech, and started on your stroll downtown. “Hey, Y/n, what’s with the limp?” Nobara chuckled as she took in your pathetic attempt to walk straight. “The curse get you that badly?” You nodded at her, sheepishly thinking about how the damage from that curse was the least of your concerns. Yuji immediately patted himself. “Hop on,” he told you, signaling you to jump onto his back. “You want to give me a piggy back ride?” You smiled and teased him; his sincerity and concern was genuine, and it made your heart warmer.

You climbed onto his back and he continued walking as though he was weightless. Damn, you thought enviously. How did he recover so quickly? Yuji animatedly and dramatically described yesterday’s encounter to his friends. He was talking so fast you could barely keep up: “...and there were spikes, and the finger was caged between the teeth, and ... and, then I had to switch with Sukuna or we would’ve died! !! !!! And I can’t remember a thing after that. Oh, did you guys like your Mickey Mouse keychains?” Nobara gushed about how cute the souvenir was, and the two of you discussed how much you loved being in Tokyo. You took in the street vendors around you, the big flashing, neon lights, and the vibrant storefronts. Everything you laid your eyes on was so interesting and new, but couldn’t help but find yourself thinking about the view from above...38 floors above.

You shook your head and tried to forget about him. Why did your mind always have to wander back to him? No, you still didn’t care. “We’re here!!” Yuji shook you out of your intrusive thoughts as he announced your arrival in front of the Toho Cinema. You gaped at the marvelous glass building, serotonin boosting by the minute. “What are we watching?” You asked after you all pushed inside. Of course, it only took a second for the three get into a heated argument about which movie they would see first.

“We’re watching the showing of Back to the Future!” Yuji pouted, and Nobara was quick to yell, “Hell no! The freaky old man scares me!” Then Megumi suggested, “How about Fight Club?” and Nobara stamped her foot. “No violence today. I don’t need to see a skinny Brad Pitt with blood spurting out of his nostrils for two hours straight,” and you nodded in accord. After two more minutes of heated debate, you settled on Fast and Furious, because of its perfect blend of early-2000s tomfoolery, corny dialogue, and sexy (but ridiculous) car chases.

You sat sandwiched between Nobara and Itadori, and made the regrettable decision of holding the food tray in your lap. You could barely hear the furious engines revving over the sound of Yuji and Nobara greedily scooping popcorn and dropping sour gummy worms everywhere. Yuji repeatedly slurped his coke (which he for some reason preferred watered down) at maximum volume. Megumi was intently staring at the screen, and you made eye contact with him a few times and exchanged friendly eye rolls. The four of you exited the theater after the movie, and were about to commence your second round of argument for the next choice when your eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Sukuna’s devilish mouth made an appearance on Yuji’s right cheek. This couldn’t be good.

Before Yuji could slap it away, it spoke. “Y/n has a little secret to tell you guys. Go on, tell them,” he provoked you. The three turned to you, looking slightly confused. “Huh? I-I have no idea what he’s talking about,” you rushed. “Come on, you don’t want them to know how much fun we had together yesterday? Oh, maybe your friends don’t know that side of you yet; surprising, because I could tell just from the redness of your cheeks how much you enjoyed being called a slut. Anyways, if you don’t tell them, I will,” Sukuna’s mouth continued in a bored tone. You went to sharply slap your hand right across Yuji’s face, but his reflexes were too fast.

“He’s talking nonsense, guys,” you pleaded with their eyes. Before any of them could speak, Sukuna laughed and yelled, “I fucked her! And she was screaming and arching her back for me like she’d been deprived of dick her whole life! Don’t let her innocence fool you, she’s nothing but a whore!” He laughed once more and retreated back into Yuji’s skin.

You were so shocked that you couldn’t move. “What the fuck,” Megumi said, his usually half-lidded eyes widening. “Is it true?” Nobara asked. “Is that why you could barely walk today? Was it that big?” While those two were quietly asking questions in shock and utter disbelief, your pink-haired companion went completely ballistic. “I CAN’T REMEMBER ANY OF THIS. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?!!! I DON’T UNDERSTAND...I’M NEVER SWITCHING WITH THAT IDIOT AGAIN!” He continued to have a system malfunction and babble, but your shame and embarrassment grew. You felt a slight pinch of anger forming as you realized that Gojo hadn’t explained anything to Yuji yet, even though he said he would. Yuji didn’t know about Sukuna’s deal yet.

“Was it...did you want to do it? I have to make sure. Because if you didn’t, I’ll kill that bastard right now with my own two hands” Nobara said. You swallowed the growing lump in your throat and nodded shamefully. “I wanted to.” “He’s taken so many innocent lives,” Megumi said quietly, and looked away. “Who’s side are you on?” Your shoes began to look really interesting, and you managed a weak, “I...didn’t want you guys to find out. It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me. It’s extremely hard to explain, but I-you’re just going to have to trust me when I say I’ll be okay. There’s a...a reason I’m doing it.” Even saying it out loud sounded ridiculous. You had no guarantee that you would leave this arrangement unscathed, no guarantee except for...whatever Gojo’s protection had to offer.

There was no guarantee, either, that keeping up your end of the bargain would even save lives. “DID HE HURT YOU? DID I HURT YOU?” Yuji grabbed your shoulders and forced you to look up. “No, no. I’m good,” you answered. You were glad that your friends had your back, but extremely ashamed that you had let all of them down for your own selfish reasons. To play a game and keep a certain person jealous. What made you feel even worse, though, was the fact that you secretly didn’t want that game to end.

Yuji, sensing the tension, broke the silence. “All right, no more arguing. We’re going to go watch World War Z and forget that ever happened.” You were so grateful when him and Nobara took you by the arms and dragged you into another theater, Megumi following behind. Even if it was a zombie apocalypse movie, you needed the escape. “And more popcorn!” Yuji enthusiastically suggested, bolting to get another large bucket and then coming back within two seconds.

You tried, again, to focus on the movie but this time you weren’t distracted by you’re friends’ prodding elbows and crunching noises. It was the looming fear of what Sukuna was going to do to you day after tomorrow. The thought of his evil grin and sheer strength sent chills down your spine, and you sat up straight. You looked at Yuji for a minute, wondering if the king of curses was watching you writhe with nervousness right now. He was probably enjoying feeding off of your fear, you thought. And you were right. He was.

Part 1: The Compatibility between Pisces and Capricorn

Hello everyone! Today, since I am hella bored and have nothing to do this fine evening, I am going to talk about the relationship between our two boys; Yuji and Megumi and how much they represent their signs so much.

Before I get started, I am not going to talk about their sex life even though it’s kinda important if you are into astrology, however, for this case I won’t because both of them are minors. But if you want to read more about their comparability then be my guess and look at the underline links. I will provide links in the discussion so you can have a better understanding on how the signs are and use manga pages for you to visually see it.

Also, excuse my English. I am very bad at it! Even though it’s my first language I still have lots of errors in my writing!

Also beware of manga spoilers too!!

Let’s get started on this very long essay!

Traits of a Pisces: Itadori Yuji

Positive: Compassionate (top), empathetic (middle), & creative (bottom)

We also have: Warm/gentle, caring, intellectual, animal lover, and romantic

Here we have the positive side of a Pisces and let me tell you it screams Yuji so damn much. Yuji is such a compassionate guy. I don’t think I have never seen a character who is very compassionate like Yuji (I have but we are talking about Yuji here lol). He can empathize with a whole lot of people and no matter what the situation is he understands. Yuji doesn’t need to have the same experience as someone because he can feel and get in their head to make him understand what their going through. Which brings me to that he has a really high empathy level when it comes to people (I can relate a lot because I have the same thing). However, having a lot of empathy isn’t all that’s cracked up to be but I’ll talk about it soon.

A Pisces is also very creative and they love hobbies. One of Yuji’s favorite hobbies is, I have a feeling is sports but that just based on what his old school thought of him + the baseball game. Plus cooking! Cooking is an amazing hobby and it lets you get creative with your hands and skills! I like to imagine that he is the best cook throughout the school and loves to share with his classmates and have them rate his cooking lol! Cooking is also a relief of stress so I can also imagine him having a bad day and just ends up being in the kitchen.

Now....

Negative: Overly emotional (top), impressionable (bottom), closed off (middle)

I messed up the order lol

We also have: melancholy, lazy, stubborn, moodiness, etc

Yuji is a very emotional person. We have seen him at his best and at his worse. He is such an emotional person that he felt bad for killing Choso’s brothers. His emotions gets the best of him when Junpei died, Megumi was hurt, seeing what Sukuna has done in Shibuya, and Nanamin/Nobara getting destroyed by Mahito. It’s an unhealthy feeling because we’ve seen Yuji get distracted with his injured friends and him kinda fucking up on his fighting. Another unhealthy trait that Yuji had is not talking about himself. We’ve seen him not talk about his feelings and I mean personal deep feelings that’s always going to be in the back of his head. Like when Megumi knows that something happened to Yuji but Yuji simple doesn’t want to talk about and closes it. He doesn’t really like talking about himself and rather hear other people/helping other people rather than face his own demons. If he’s facing his own demons, he rather be doing it on his own.

I also want to point out that many people think that he gets over people’s death hella easily. No... that is not true whatsoever. The boy has been through so much trauma that eventually you just get so tired of crying about it and you don’t have the energy anymore, you eventually start telling yourself “it is what it is” or “what can I do now?”. Noabra is a perfect example. He didn’t need to cry because he had the biggest mental breakdown when it happened. So when he asked Megumi about her status... he just had to say “alright”.

In my theories... she is definitely alive. Again, Gege is playing half of you guys. She is gonna pop out in the next couple of chapters or even the one coming up next.

Another things that I find interesting in Yuji which according to the links I put, Pisces tend to trust people easily:

Ease of being cheated: A desire to see the best things in other people makes the Two Fish very impressionable individuals. They trust others without any suspicions and often suffer from their frivolity. Any pressure of stronger people is accepted as a command for them and they easily agree with them without any doubts.

For instant, Todo and Choso. Those two mf were about to kill him but they didn’t because of what Yuji’s mind fuck did (I know Gege sensei said that isn’t a theory but still it’s mind fuck lol) He instantly call Todo his best friend like I can hear Nobara (Big sis) twitching somewhere lol. Whenever I think of Yuji and Todo’s relationship, I think of Vinny and Paula D from Jersey Shore haha!

Any who, while trusting people isn’t a bad thing, you still don’t know what their intentions are and everything. It’s a very naive thing to do.

But I felt for Yuji and Choso... Yuji didn’t have much of a choice...

I would like to know what changed Yuji’s mind into staying with Choso. I’m curious how Yuji “trusted” being with Choso after everything that went down. Yuji is a very forgiving character too (minus Mahito). But now, I think we can see that Choso has no bad intentions towards Yuji because he “might” be his brother. And their so cute too!!

On to our other boy!

Traits of a Capricorn: Megumi Fushiguro

Positive: Resourcefulness (top), discipline/patient (middle: also thank @pantherbeamish for the photos!), and reliability (bottom)

We also have: Responsibility, loyalty, diligence, team player, etc

Megumi is a very interesting character. Whenever I see him I get more interested in him. He is exactly what you would describe a Capricorn. We have seen Megumi be resourceful when it comes understanding how curse energy works thanks to him. He is very detailed when it comes to explaining and also a very patient man when Yuji, who doesn’t know jack shit about the Jujutsu world. Never, not once, does Megumi call Yuji an idiot for not knowing all these things. That’s what makes him amazing because if it were other Shonen mangas, the “rival” would’ve called Yuji an idiot. The only time Megumi ever calls Yuji an idiot is when Yuji literally does or says something stupid. To me, that is normal and not being a dick about it because we all know that if we had a friend like Yuji we would’ve stared at him like “why are you like this...”

It’s me... I’m a lot like Yuji lol

But no, he is very patient and tries to explain everything to Yuji as best as he can. I have this thing where almost everyone relies on Megumi a lot because he’s a serious guy + very responsible with his tasks. We see Maki trusting Megumi too. Like the time when Megumi was hyping Yuji up saying he can beat everyone in the Kyoto school if they didn’t use curse energy (something like that lol). Yuji also can confirm himself that Megumi is very reliable. He mentioned it while back at the prison because both sibling duo thought they were lost.

Negative: Sensitivity (top), seriousness (middle), reservation (bottom)

We also have: Unforgiving, criticism, suspicion, pickiness, etc

Just like Yuji, we have seen Megumi’s negative side a lot but it’s simply because he’s sensitive and thinks logically. Sometimes, I also feel like he thinks through his heart as well but that’s just me. That is where the sensitivity comes along. Megumi is hella sensitive he doesn’t need to show it because you can feel it.

In the article:

Sensitivity: It is better not to offend Capricorns who are very sensitive people. They can’t stand being laughed at and remain serious in public but feel badly deeply in their souls. Even a minor joke can result in resentment from their side!

In many, many occasions we have seen everyone fucking around or getting on Megumi’s nerves, especially in our recent Jujustroll where Gojo is saying a bunch of nonsense and embarrassing tf out of Megumi. His seriousness gets in the way and that’s what makes him sensitive.

On the side note: I also wanted to add something. As I was reading a few articles, some mentioned that Capricorns are... bland. Please, Capricorns!! No me ataques! I just find it interesting that someone, like Todo, who thinks Megumi is boring. Todo honestly thought he was boring since he first asked him what was his type and while Megumi gave us the best answer, Todo expected something more fun. But no, it was boring. Also, Megumi lives a simple life. Now, I’m not saying that Megumi is boring because as a matter of fact I like how simple he is. He likes to keep things neutral. Personally, on his activities he is considered “bland” and honestly, I can see why but I would still go out my way to enjoy it with him if I was his significant other lol I also feel like he has a good sense of style in fashion. I’m saying that judging from the official arts + “Lost In Paradise” because in that ED Megumi be looking like a bowl of fruits. A bowl of snacks lmao!

But, anyways! Megumi is also reserved to himself. He does not like talking about himself at all (hon hon does that sound like someone?). He doesn’t open up to a lot of people but I kinda feel like he does with Gojo but that’s just because Gojo raised him and he just knows when Megumi is feeling a certain way. Also, I bet Gojo just knows when Megumi is having a bad day too. We witnessed him just being in his own bubble in the current arc that is happened in the anime. Yuji and Nobara calls him out about him being so reserved to himself. He does eventually tells them what is going on, but it takes a lot for a Capricorn to open up and it’s totally understandable. I feel as if you want a Capricorn to open up, you have to let them give you time for them to get to know you. Give them your intentions and put in the effort to make them trust you.

Now in to the fun part!!

1. Trust:

Positive:

Articles 1: They will often understand each other well enough to respect their relationship and keep it clear of dishonesty

I’m a use this imagine again btw because this speaks their relationship clearly

I think what I truly love about their relationship and love the idea of them being an endgame is the trust that they have for one another(even though someone is gonna die). They barely knew each other for 2 months and their chemistry is off the mf charts.

The picture above isn’t just them having an eye opening moment but the fact that they trust each other to save one another.

Megumi had saved Yuji so many time

Yuji had also saved Megumi so many times

Tbh, when I was thinking about Megumi coming in to save Yuji from Yuuta and Naoya, I thought it would be the same as when Yuji saved Megumi and Maki from Hanami, but we got something better. We got to see Megumi never doubting Yuji and always making sure that he gives him as many chances as he gives. I hope that sparks a realization for Yuji because sometimes I always felt that he doesn’t really acknowledges Megumi doing a whole lotta things for Yuji. I’m still complaining about it because if he can say “thank you, best friend” to Todo or “thank you, Kugisaki, for letting me know that I am not alone” to Nobara, then he should definitely see how much Megumi gives a fuck about him.

I expect a “thank for being by my side and never doubting me” for Megumi.

Articles 2: Pisces, who prefers to hand off important decision-making to dominant Capricorn, feeds into the goat’s need to be in control. On the flip side, Capricorn trusts Pisces to attend to its emotional needs—something that can be very difficult to allow at first.

This is interesting because a lot of the time Megumi is always making the plans and the choices. I feel like Yuji tends to rely on Megumi a lot because Yuji respects the way Megumi thinks (I’m not saying he doesn’t do that with anyone either).

Another thing is that:

“Capricorn trust Pisces to attend to its emotional needs-something that can be very difficult to allow at first”

I want to use Yuji asking Yuuta to kill him if Sukuna comes out especially for Megumi’s sake as an example of “emotional needs” because we see that Yuji does not want to be anywhere near Megumi because of Sukuna. In Yuji’s emotional state, he would rather have Yuuta kill him than Megumi. A lot of people also have this head canon that the reason why he asked Yuuta to kill him instead of Megumi is because Megumi already has a lot on his plate or something. I forgot the theory lol

But... I have a feeling that Megumi is gonna end up killing Yuji at the end because it should be him...

But yes,

Let’s see where things end with the current event that is happening now.

But unfortunately, I have to stop right here because Tumblr only allows 10 images in one post. Tragic!

I do hope you guys enjoy and please comment if I’m missing anything with them! Let’s hope I won’t take long with part 2 because I’m hella busy at times! Overall, tell me what you guys think!

Let's Predict: Who Will Take Itadori's Side?

(Spoilers for chapter 137 ahead!!!)

The Shibuya Arc is finally wrapping up and we are transitioning into a new arc that is looking to be just as stressful as the previous arc. Yuta has now been tasked with executing Itadori and he seems keen on going through with it (though there is speculation that he's just saying that to save face). We have no idea of the whereabouts or status of most of the characters, so it's currently unclear how much time has passed or how much everybody else knows abt the situation in Shibuya. And depending on how Gege intends on playing this out, it could be a while until we see the status of our main characters. … Waiting games suck ass. So I say why not make myself look like an idiot and make predictions on who will side with Itadori that are likely wrong in order to pass the time :D ?

This will be split into three groups: "Yea", which will be for Itadori, "Nay”, which will be against Itadori, and “Undecided”. I'll then list the characters along with my reasoning.

YEA:

Megumi Fushiguro

Do I rlly have to explain this one? I mean, if you’ve been paying attention it is very clear that Fushiguro cares deeply for Itadori. His whole shtick is “If you die, I’ll kill you”, so next to siding with Itadori it’s plausible that he could also end up fighting Yuta (or whoever tf threatens Itadori) in order to protect him. I think that while Fushiguro’s feelings on what Itadori did would be complicated, it wouldn’t suddenly make him want to abandon Itadori. Their bond goes much much deeper than that.

Nobara Kugisaki (assuming she’s alive)

Next to Fushiguro, Nobara knows Itadori the most and therefore knows that Itadori isn’t just some murderer who would let this happen voluntarily. She trusts him and cares for him, I don’t think she would just up and leave him at this stage.

Masamichi Yaga

Yaga doesn’t seem the type to just immediately give up, he seems like a stubborn dude. And so with his ass being thrown under the bus by the higher ups, I think he’ll double-down on keeping Itadori alive rather than go against him now that Gojo’s gone.

Panda

Kind of a reach here, but I just think that Panda has made a clear distinction between Itadori and Sukuna, and doesn’t view what Sukuna did as Itadori’s fault.

Aoi Todo

They’re brothers, what more has to be said? Even after Itadori exposed himself and his actions to Todo during the fight with Mahito, Todo raised him up and stayed by his side. Ain’t no way he’s gonna up and abandon him now. (Same goes for Choso, but it’s unclear what’s going to be done with him)

Yuki Tsukumo

I can’t really explain it, just a gut feeling. Based off what we’ve seen of her so far, I just don’t think she would want Itadori dead.

NAY:

Atsuya Kusakabe

Mans made it 100% clear to Panda in an earlier chapter that he had no intention of siding with Itadori and stated that he wants him to executed.

Yoshinobu Gakuganji

Gakuganji literally wanted Itadori dead during the Goodwill Event Arc. And while Yaga and Gojo were able to quell that temporarily during the baseball game, I think the events of the Shibuya Incident give him the perfect reason to advocate for Itadori’s death again.

Mai Zenin

I honestly don’t think she likes Itadori in the first place. Plus before the Goodwill Event she was all like “Aww aren’t you glad Itadori is dead?” to Nobara and Fushiguro and I don’t remember her ever going against that or having a reflection about it like Kamo did so there’s that.

Momo Nishimiya

I think that Momo looks up to Mai a lot and tends to follow in her footsteps. So if Mai’s against Itadori, Momo probably would be too.

Mei Mei

Mei Mei’s whole thing is finding “service potential” in others which is just the future benefits that an asset/person are expected to bring. So with that paired with how things have been hinted to be going economy-wise and assuming that she doesn’t see any benefit to keeping Itadori around, she’ll probably go against him.

Naobito Zenin (assuming he’s alive)

I’m not completely 100% on this one, a lot of it is just the vibe he gives off. Plus I feel that since he wanted Gojo to fall and was glad that he got sealed he’s also fine with Itadori being killed too. He’s one of the higher ups that Gojo was actively fighting against, same goes for Gakuganji.

UNDECIDED:

Noritoshi Kamo

He’s already had his lil mini arc of going from wanting Itadori dead to accepting him as a human being who’s seperate from Sukuna. However, I don’t think he’d be so quick to immediately side with Itadori. He’d probably be a lot more conflicted.

Maki Zenin (assuming she’s alive)

This one was so hard to place!! But I put her here because I believe there’s going to be a tug o war between who to align with, Yuta or Itadori. So, assuming that she’s alive, I think this will be a hard choice for her.

Shoko Ieiri

I just don’t think she gives a fuck tbh,,, whatever happens, happens, that’s the vibe she gives off.

Toge Inumaki

I don’t think we know enough abt him for me to make that call. But it will be interesting to see if we do get a bit of his perspective on things, seeing as though Yuta’s reasoning for wanting to kill Itadori is for Inumaki’s sake.

Utahime Iori

I don’t know enough about her to make a definite call, so she’ll stay in undecided.

Kasumi Miwa

I don’t think she has any strong opinions on Itadori. Like she didn’t want to kill him during the Goodwill Event, but I don’t think that means she doesn’t perceive him as a threat, especially after what happened. So I think she’ll try to stay on the sidelines for this.

Takuma Ino

Don’t know enough again, plus I feel that he’ll be more focused on Nanami’s death than anything else :(

Closing Thoughts:

Even though I’m pretty confident in a lot of my guesses in this list, I could honestly see it going in the other direction too! And with Gege’s constant subversion of expectations I expect my predictions to fall flat like a pancake lmao. But I think that’s part of the joy I get from Jujutsu Kaisen: I love seeing my theories and predictions torn to shreds because Gege always comes up with something even more exciting than whatever I had in mind. So! With that being said, I’m greatly looking forward to what happens next.

#jjk spoilers #jjk manga spoilers #long post #ayo if fushi fought yuta that would be so sick and also depressing #i stg can i just get a chapter that shows how everyones doing i can't take this wait #i need yuta to have a proper reunion with the 2nd years asap

Rewatched the latest jjk ep 18 so going to throw my random thoughts about this season here with manga spoilers

I didn’t want to rewatch this episode, but my family hadn’t watched it yet, so I went along with it. Didn’t have anything to worry about, since I didn’t get emotional this time and mostly just had fun with Mahito

Something I loved about JJK when I started it is how it set up some of its death scenes—With Junpei, Nanami, even Jogo, it’s obvious at a certain point they’re not going to survive. Junpei when he realizes Mahito isn’t a good person, Nanami the second the scene shows Mahito in the photobooth, Sukuna being Sukuna, etc. This isn’t going to work for everyone watching, especially if you don’t care for the character(s), but that anticipation for their deaths always made the scenes more tragic for me.

Mahito being a great villain also helps for those scenes. His personality and ability makes him some of the most fun to read and watch, and he’s incredibly smart, or, at least, perceptive in a way that’s sometimes hidden by how chaotic and childish he can be. I can’t wait to see the rest of his fight with Yuuji and his final words towards Kenjaku. I never noticed this in the manga, but in the anime, the look that Mahito gives Kenjaku the last time they met makes it clearer that Mahito had some understanding of Kenjaku.

Mahito and Nobara’s confrontation was gorgeous with the colors and lighting. It’s devastating knowing this is just. it for her. It’s too short and I’m still hoping for her return, but it’s been a long time with nothing

This season has been an interesting watch, since it’s changed a lot of my feelings on the shibuya arc and some characters. Had an opposite situation than with csm (spoilers for s1) where I was surprised after watching season 1 because I thought power was way more prominent than she actually was in the manga, except this jjk season was me being surprised at how much Megumi was here. It wasn’t an overwhelming amount, but he was involved in the background and at the focus more than I remembered. That and how his expressions/body language was animated with the voice acting made me like his character more

Somehow I ended up liking the shibuya arc a little less—also like with the csm anime, although these aren’t animation faults, only seeing the series in a new light and in a different medium. I was never huge on the grasshopper, seance curse users, miracle curse user (haruta??) fights, which take up a good portion. The toji fights were great, although I’ve always been neutral-ish about his character. The Mei Mei fight was surprisingly better, mostly since the comedy gag aspects with her brother were toned down (its still evident she’s grooming him to die for her but it’s not framed as comedic as the manga) and the atmosphere was unnerving and dark. Nanami is also a character I’ve always been neutral-ish on, so overall not the most interesting parts of the series for me. Love the kenjaku and curses team though.

But on the positive side, it made me appreciate what’s to come more. I didn’t care as much for some of the fights and most of my personal favorite characters (yuuji, choso, maki, kenjaku) get explored more after this arc, minus yuuji who gets time near the very end. I’m very curious to see if I’ll end up enjoying the Culling Games colonies more and less when they’re animated. A part of that will likely depend on how the future chapters handle things set up or continuing in this arc.

As of now, Hidden Inventory/Premature Death and the stretch of chapters from the end of shibuya to the Higuruma scenes are my favorite parts of jjk. For the latter, I honestly love when the characters have long talks, whether it’s about themselves, lore, or anything. The power system is fun, but when the chapters focus too much on that technical side, that’s really the only time I’m bored by dialogue or narration heavy chapters. Thinking mainly of the Gojo and Sukuna fight with that, but there’s a few minor instances in the series.

Choso and Yuuji episode is still my favorite! I am incredibly biased

Part of me wishes I watched this show first without ever reading it, but the manga is still more impactful for me, probably because I got to read at my own pace/digest what was happening and read it without expectations coming in

#my family doesn’t want to hear me talk about JJK so my blog will 🫵😤#jjk spoilers #jujutsu kaisen season 2 #long post

omg jjk and hq are so good i cANNOT- please share ur opinions after 🥺

:0000 ANON YOU GET A FREE COOKIE!!!

I was lowkey hoping someone would ask me about this so I can just gush. There was no one to hold me ;-;

So spoiler warning in case you haven’t caught up to jjk and hq. “Slight” spoilers for next jjk/hq episodes. Semi-major spoilers if you haven’t read the manga.

You’re about to see me devolve into brain rot. Don’t look at me like that.

So jjk.

I’ve read the manga before it was announced as an anime and my hype was through the roof. I read stuff in bursts [I’ve done this with solo leveling and kny (PLS PLS READ SOLO LEVELING I know it’s getting really popular now but pls I beg of you)] so I read all the volumes available at the time in one sitting and I watch that update bar like a hawk. Very nice art style I really like it. I call it dirty art [this is not an insult] with how the lines are drawn and the amount whenever characters are fighting.

[SPOILER] A great example is when student Gojo snaps and has his “I’m the only honored one” and purple snaps Toji [ch 72 - 75] 👉👈 I may have a thing for it.

It does spoil the anime for me especially with episode 5 and the fact they pulled a Kamina and killed the main character [even though he isn’t dead lol] but I’ve never cared that much about spoilers. [ch.11]

But speaking of next episode, I CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE. MORE SUKUNA CONTENT??? The first time I was reading the manga I’m looking at this man and thinking I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me. But what he did do to Mimiko and Nanako was kinda brutal [ch.112]

I’ve seen anime gojo with his blindfold off and SIR YOUR HAND. LOOKS HEAVY. LEMME HOLD IT FOR YOU.

I think they might make Gojo vs Jogo its own episode or it might be next (PLEASE BE NEXT EPISODE I WANT TO GET IMMEASURABLE VOIDED) I can’t wait for next Saturday. [ch. 13 - 15]

Plus Jogo is actually a really good character [except morally] despite looking stupid af. Volcano head I can’t. I know it’s his thing and domain but it bother’s me so much. [ch. 116]

Another thing that bother’s me is their uniform. On the yuji, kugisaki, and megumi they look fine but for some reason it looks really weird on Gojo? I don’t know how to explain it but it’s like. Overly fitting? Something like that lol. I also can’t stand the creases in his blindfold. I know they are shadows to show the placement of his eyes but it freaks me out. I say this but I would very much simp for him.

Speaking of, I was listening to his and Geto’s voices and thinking WHERE HAVE I HEARD THIS BEFORE. Gojo is Kuroo and Hawks while Geto is Merlin [FGO]. So I’ve officially ruined Geto because I can only think of pervy mage. Imo, I feel that Geto should have had a deeper voice? It sounds so light but I have Merlin brain worms in my head.

[SPOILERS] I know he’s possessed and everything and maybe real Geto would have that voice but if Sukuna can have his own voice so can Geto. [ch 90 - 91]

Also with episode 5, when Megumi is about to do this eight treasure curse. In case any of you were interested in what that was. Here’s a mini screenshot. God he look’s so good. Go Megumi Go! [ch. 117]

Honestly, everyone is so pretty. I love girls with short hair so my heart is weeping at how pretty Kugisaki is. Her straw doll technique scene where she kneels down, about to put the nail in, and how they animated her hair and side profile. Sorry, doctor but I’m dying rn. This very second. Manga Maki I prefer a tiny bit more but she looks vvvvvv good.

Plus the opening and ending SLAPS. I love the art style for both it’s so nice. I’m very excited for this anime and my brain is rotting. Plus have you guys seen the trailer for the next patch for genshin??? Pls...I have school and rq to write I can’tt.

Also [ch 52 if you want more purple Gojo]

---

So HQ

I know everyone was hyped about the Miya twins but CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT NEKOMA?? KENMA YOU ABOSULTE BEAST. He’s so cute when he was angry. It was nice seeing Tora get some more love and fukunaga!! His “oh” caught me off guard so much that I can’t help but laugh every time I re-watch it. Yaku and Kuroo at the end “Don’t narrate my inner thoughts thanks” was such a mom and dad moment. I love it.

Honestly, when I heard Atsumu all I hear is Dazai and it’s breaking me. You know that moment when the twins copy Hinata’s and Kageyama’s quick? Where he goes “Yes!” that was so fucking cute. Plus Kita?? I can’t wait for this moment [ch.291] I will treasure it with my heart and soul. God I can’t even look at it and the sun’s too bright. It’s burning my eyes off.

Then it’s Nekoma vs Karasuno and I can’t wait for that!!! [ch 293] I don’t want to say toooo much but this feels like this will make up for the next half of haikyuu.

I love how Tsukki looks [ch. 303] he’s such a mood

[SPOILER] I was lowkey kinda pissed that Nekoma lost because of sweat but I can forgive it for those A+ Kenma shots. [ch. 324 - 325]

Then Bokuto get’s hyped and we get this great Akaashi moment [ch. 333]. Honestly, the sportsmanship in Haikyuu is some grade A stuff. [ch 337] I don’t know if this will be animated or if this be it’s own OVA but PLEASE I JUST WANT THIS MOMENT ANIMATED I BEG OF YOU.

But I don’t want to make this post too long so my brain rot ends here. If you have any other anime/manga/games that you’d like to gush with me I am always here in my corner.

#sorry I had a lot to get out of my system #i went back and checked all the manga chapters JUST FOR YOU #I hate it when I see screenshots or people mentioning things and scrolling through a manga JUST TO FIND THAT ONE SCENE #long post #manga spoilers #jujustu kaisen #haikyuu!!#big mwah #lovely anon #anon ask #brain dump #jjk #hq

My Thoughts on K - Seven Stories

I binge-watched this a couple of weeks ago. I nearly forgot about these until I found the subs. Haha

Here are my thoughts and a few screenshots (like one for almost each movie). I’ll just say a few things, I guess? Except for LSW (movie 4) and Circle Vision (movie 6) and Idol K (shorts) which will have their own posts cause I have the feels.

Movie 1, “R:B - Blaze” shows us the beginning of how Munakata Reisi got his powers as the Blue King and his first meeting with Red King, Suou Mikoto.

It’s nice to see more stuff about the two clans and how things went before the series began - from within their groups and how they thought of each other. There are also more bits and pieces of the Kagutsu Incident and we get to see the former Blue and Red Kings at their final battle which is awesome.

Movie 2, “Side:Blue” - Like Sirius is about Kusuhara Takeru and Zenjou Gouki. Kusuhara is a member of Scepter4 who wanted to get in the Special Forces (You know, the group that fights directly under the Blue King which we see in the series) alongside his friends and everyone’s really supportive of him which is so nice. However, he’s not as good as they are yet and is told he’d only get in if he can get at least 1 clean hit on Awashima Seri on their spar. So far, no good.

Zenjou Gouki is the former Blue King’s right-hand man. He’s now retired and is working in Internal Affairs. He also watches over the training. Kusuhara ends up working under him later on and is also being trained by him when Kusuhara was given a time limit on his condition to join. Failure this time, though, means Kusuhara will lose his job.

This movie is... he got the job of course. Also, it didn’t end well. On his first day, too like why? Wtf?! I ended up crying when they told Zenjou what happened.

And I know Munakata is just trying to put logic into this and is actually feeling bad about what happened, too but freaking hell, man! That is not what you tell people who are grieving! I know you’re trying to rile them up and piss Zenjou off on purpose for a reason but still... you sound like a real jerk. This is why people think badly of you even though you’re not really that bad.

Also, this reveals why Munakata wants to have Zenjou out of retirement: Zenjou moves on instinct. Actions before thought: he does what’s needed and what's best especially in battle. He was the one who killed the Blue King before another Damocles Down happens after Kagutsu’s fell. He felt really bad for it and probably didn’t want to do it at all as Habari is his friend but it was for the best and so he moved without a second though. Munakata knows that Zenjou will do it again if needed. Munakata has Zenjou as some kind of fail-safe: if he’s become a danger like say, his sword is gonna fall, Zenjou would be able to kill him.

That kinda sucks to be honest. Zenjou was the one who took his own king’s life and he’s gonna be made to do it again if needed be. We all know how season 2 ended so it’s all good but still...

RIP Kusuhara Takeru. You’re one of the Best Boys and you deserved better.

Movie 3, “Side:Green - The Overwritten World” gives us Goujou Sukuna’s backstory. He came from a rich family but with very controlling parents. Finding out his only friend was a fake picked by his parents was the last straw which had him run away from home. He uses the JUNGLE points he earns playing the game so he could escape those trying to capture him to get him back to his parents.

This also shows how he met the Green Clan. How he met Hirasaka Douhan and their first fight against Mishakuji Yukari, which while I wasn’t able to get a screenshot (sorry) to show you, is really pretty. You know how the art for this show is all shiny and kind of have this realistic look, right? Their fight is more 2D-ish but has a purple hue. It’s better if you see it but it’s really, really pretty!

In the end, it also shows how Sukuna became a member of the Green Clan and that he and Hisui Nagare has some things in common. It made this group more interesting, sympathetic, and more human despite being the main bad guys if season 2. It made me like them a lot.

Movie 5, “Memory of Red - Burn” is centered around HOMRA and them planning Anna’s birthday party. I thought “Oh, a fun cute, episode with the Red Clan? Nice!”.

Then Tatara crosses paths with the Colorless King.

The it hit me...

Oh... no.

Yes, this movie is a direct prologue of the first season’s episode 1. How Totsuka Tatara died that fateful night. He’s a really nice guy, you know. They were having so much fun. Anna’s birthday was coming up, too.

When I saw the Colorless King, I started panicking. I told myself “It can’t be, right?” so when Tatara got back to the bar I was relieved. I thought it was safe but then he just had to freaking leave again! I was... I was muttering “No, please... someone please stop him...” while he was looking at everyone, unbeknownst to all of them, for the last time. I know I’m being overly dramatic here cause I already know his death is a foregone conclusion but still... I was getting really attached to these characters as the movie went on. I got to know a bit more about Tatara and why everyone is willing to murder a guy to avenge him in the series. It hurts, man. Even when I knew it still freaking hurts. I was crying when it finally happened.

I said before I started liking them more cause of movie 3 but this, knowing they’re the reason why Tatara died made me hate them the moment I saw it. I still like the characters but I don’t think I could ever forgive them for this.

No Blood, No Bone, No Ash.

Nothing left, not even ashes. Only memories of you in the ones you love. The cremation scene is just as sad to watch. What’s supposed to be a birthday celebration became a funeral.

RIP Totsuka Tatara. You’d be remembered, never forgotten and will always be an important and beloved member of HOMRA.

Knowing what happened at the end of season 1, I hope you and Mikoto are happy watching the outcome of the final battle.

Just wanna point out before anything else that it’s got a bunch of ED songs for each movie but more importantly, the OP “Survive!” by Angela is a total banger. I ended up listening to it on repeat alongside “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” by the Idol K seiyuus. It’s so good. And the OP video is so pretty! There’s a difference in character designs this time around from the original series though and I’m sure you’d realize it when you finally watch it: their eyes are a bit bigger. It made them look younger and it’s something to get used to. I liked the older version but this wasn’t so bad. Still, for K fans, it depends on you what you think.

Anyways, the entire movie series was so good but I wish there were more. So many more backstories unexplained. I know they’re in the LN and manga spin-offs plus some extras on drama CDs and stories posted online but come on, they deserve an adaptation, too!

I really wish they’d made more for this series. If I had the money I’d buy the dvds for these. Or the artbooks. Have you seen the artbooks? The art for posters and stuff are all so pretty! I’d love a copy of them to be honest.

Anyways, I already made a post on Idol K and LSW and Circle Vision’s will be made later.

K ~ Four Seasons of K: Breathing

This June’s story, with the Green clan.

The original Japanese text is kindly provided by blueseraphima.

Breathing by Takahashi Yashichirou

The hideout of the Green clan, Jungle, also known as 'the secret base', was a perfect place for combat training. The ceilings of the abandoned underground water intake facility, buried deep beneath the very heart of the metropolis, were so high that it was impossible to take a look at them without craning one's neck, with the thick support pillars planted at regular intervals and dim lighting adding to the atmosphere.

Coming up with all sorts of plans on how to use this dull monotonic construction to his advantage when fighting was something of Gojou Sukuna's forte. Yet, despite that...

'And I almost had him cornered just minutes earlier, too'. The ability gap between him and Mishakuji Yukari just didn't seem to close. 'Why the heck did he up and disappear as soon as we crossed blades?! I just don't get him!'

Grinding his teeth as he took cover behind a pillar, he let the blade on the tip of his favorite stick dissolve and, trying to hide his breathing, made the minimal effort to conceal his presence. If he so much as stirred, that elusive and strangely flowy slashing attack would find him in no time... or so he was convinced.

'It's always me who takes the initiative, goes on an attack and falls for his tricks... today, I'll make him do the attacking.' I'm a statue, I'm a statue, he kept repeating silently in his mind. 'If I'm not wrong, when hiding you're supposed to hold your breath, right?' While he was at it, he thought it wise to append the guideline Yukari had voiced the other day. Sukuna didn't really get it, but, being the astute boy he was, he intuitively grasped just what kind of nuance Yukari talked about. 'In other words, I'm supposed to be quiet about anything and everything I do, I guess.'

'Oh,' Yukari's voice abruptly came.

Sukuna's joy over Yukari losing (apparently?) the track of boy's breathing lasted only a quick instance. What followed was a shudder rolling through his entire body.

'H-He's behind this pillar?!'

Did the man sneak up on him quietly, or was he hiding there from the start? In any case, the voice came from right behind Sukuna's back.

"!!!" Before he knew it, his thinking faculties were already hard at work, churning at full speed. 'What do I do? Do I circle from the right or from the left? Or maybe I should use another pilla--'

Hesitation had him tied hand and foot when intense bloodlust hit him head-on. His body moved on its own by sheer reflex as he took a fighting stance, only to be stabbed by the tip of the sword from the opposite side.

"And it's over." "G-gh...Damn it aaaaaaaaaall!!!" The two contrasting voices resounded in the vastness of the underground cavern.

10 minutes later found the two walking in the rain side by side.

"I have to say, Sukuna-chan, you just don't learn your lesson, do you. How many consecutive defeats does it make for you now?" "Who cares! There's nothing else to do there but play games anyway. Don't get all petty over simple training!"

All because Iwa-san, that is, Iwafune Tenkei, heard Sukuna's screaming and didn't pass up the opportunity.

"If you have so much free time on your hands, go shop for groceries for dinner. Our usual supermarket holds a region limited beer fair today." With this, he pushed an extra large eco-friendly bag into their hands.

For the top brass of Jungle, Iwafune's demand to go shopping was essentially impossible to refuse.

Sukuna personally planned to go somewhere to distract himself from his bitter defeat, except it was raining outside. Thus, his gloominess was literally not about to clear any time soon.

An umbrella in one hand, he swung the eco bag in the other back and forth more than necessary as he sploshed his way through the rain on a water soaked road.

Yukari, on the other hand, walked quietly with elegance enhanced by the smoke-like drizzle.

This difference picked Sukuna's interest.

"Say, Yukari." "What is it?" "Teach me how to walk as quietly as you." "Where did that come from, all of a sudden?"

It was a blunt demand on Sukuna's part, but Yukari could sense the underlying sincerity. As he did, he decided to feign ignorance.

"It's something that comes naturally. Not a thing worth teaching." "Still, there's gotta be some tricks, right?" "You're being awfully persistent today. Did the defeat affect you that much?" "Ugh." Sukuna choked out a groan and fell silent, only to open his mouth again before they even walked another 10 steps.

"You always get to do all sorts of things, while I'm usually stuck playing games or doing chores like this." He raised the eco bag to emphasize his point, then lowered it back again. "No harm in being serious about training, at least, y'know."

'He ended up spilling the feelings he's been holding back, eh... Could it be this rain's fault?'

Yukari had his guesses about the reason for Sukuna's gloomy dissatisfaction. The amount of action Sukuna saw before and after becoming a J-ranker differed drastically. With craving and urgency as his driving force, he had reached the position of the prized 'Ace in the hole', which left him with more leftover energy than he knew what to do with. He had been waiting for a decisive fight for far too long already, even if he knew it would happen eventually. Save for extremely rare occasions of special missions he was given, his life was one extended stand by break.

Yukari, on the other hand, while holding the same rank as a J-ranker, was always on the move here and there, and when you looked at the difference from Sukuna's perspective...

'Figures it makes him so malcontent.'

At the very least, this train of thought did motivate Yukari to try and answer Sukuna's question. "You see..." "Hn?"

It, however, did not do anything to motivate him to cooperate. "For me, teaching and explaining is just not something I'm any good at." "Huh?" Now that the conversation stopped making much sense, it was Sukuna who found himself confused.

"I just deal with whatever is thrown at me and have no interest in what I leave behind, that's the kind of person I am." "The 'living for the moment' stuff, you mean?" "Beautiful wording, don't you find? Well, yes, something like that, I suppose." Yukari's voice flowed accompanied by the sound of the rain hitting his Japanese umbrella. "I don't mind tagging along with your training, and I'm never shy to point out what you need to work on. But in the end, it's still just reacting, just dealing with what is thrown at me, not actively taking the initiative and making something happen." "I guess you're surprisingly awkward, Yukari."

Before he realized it, Yukari's lips formed a little strained smile. "Well, when it comes down to how to live your life, I suppose that is true." "You don't really need to think all that hard about things though," Sukuna continued, face tilted up to gaze at Yukari, looking every bit a child begging to get his wish granted. "In my opinion, when someone asks you to teach them something, you just go and teach them." "...Did you hear a word I said?" "Yup, I did, and that's precisely why I went and taught you a resolution method for your problem." Even the fed-up face Yukari made at this statement did nothing to faze Sukuna. Apparently, the boy was dead set on hounding the older executive and getting him to be his teacher.

To Yukari, that childish pushiness was something thrilling, to the point where he was even jealous of it a little.

"Alright. I'd feel sorry for you if you kept losing, so I suppose I could give you some hints," Yukari finally said, giving up and yielding to the boy's persistence. "Reminding me of my defeats was unnecessary."

Putting the pouting Sukuna aside for the moment, Yukari tipped his umbrella to the side to survey their surroundings. Thanks to the rain, there was hardly anyone walking on the roadside along the main street. There was no surveillance cameras either, and just in case, a few side roads that could serve as a retreat path were within their reach. What's more, those side roads were away from the supermarket the two were headed to.

Having finished examining the situation around them, Yukari laconically put what he was doing at the moment into words. "My movement seems quiet because I'm syncing my breathing with the falling rain." "So it's not about holding your breath?"

Without answering Sukuna's question, Yukari suddenly started breathing in the manner he used in battle - and right in front of a male office worker who happened to pass them by. Next, he lowered his hips a little in a natural crouch, his stance one of a slayer preparing to kill.

"Eek?!" The same instance, as if in concert, the office worker let out a cracky shriek, as if he was being strangled by the throat. For the first time he had been made to realize that someone - a tall young man with flashy eyes, to be exact - who, until just now, was no more than the figure of a person on the edge of the man's awareness, carried a weapon on his back that could cause a lot of harm to him.

But before his terror could be expressed in his behavior, Yukari murmured quietly, "No need to worry, it's just a toy." His tone was utterly mundane, as if nothing was out of ordinary and nothing at all happened. To drive his point home, he put an index finger to his lips and even accompanied the gesture with a smile.

The office worker's intense surprise lost its edge and changed to embarrassment at himself for having screamed out of the blue over nothing. Pulled along by Yukari, he even gave the Jungle executive an awkward smile of his own before hastening to leave with a quick gait - not out of fear or self-preservation but out of self-consciousness and embarrassment.

Sukuna watched him go in mute amazement. It was like a magic spell for manipulating people.

"Why? How?" Perfectly natural questions rushed out from his mouth. "I said I'd give you a hint, didn't I. I have pretty much shown you the ropes already, so figure out the rest on your own," Yukari refused to answer, wearing the same smile. "Ehh? What the hell, man. You really do suck at teaching, Yukari." "Oh, quiet. I promise I'll tag along with you for another training session when we're back, so do your best and figure out the answer before then. Be a good little student and think of it as homework." "Jeez. At least tell me how breathing ties into all of that."

The two figures walking side by side, one splashing his way through puddles, the other moving quietly, were steadily making their way through the rain.

"Heeey, guys! Today's dinner is pepper steak, so I'm gonna make some noise, 'kay?" Iwafune's voice resounded across the enormous cave of the 'secret base'.

Not even 5 minutes later, the battle between pots and fire was declared open, and the cacophony of sounds, from foodstuff being roasted and split open to the heavy thud of the bottom of a pot hitting the stove, reverberated through the space, complete with loud out of tune strange bird call like whistles produced by Iwafune himself, eventually filling the whole area with all kinds of echo.

Yukari walked through that peculiar space that played tricks on human sense of distance and direction. His melodic singing was quiet yet abundant with carefree harmony, subduing the cacophony of sounds around and turning it into accompaniment.

While Sukuna did harbor a memory that, when he heard the tune Yukari was singing, with rain as its motif and the frequent 'mother' in the lyrics, made him knit his brows, he didn't feel like like telling Yukari to change the song that apparently did well to express Yukari's current mood.

'That's right, if something like this was enough to shake you, no motivation or skills would help you,' Yukari came up with plausible justification, but as a matter fact, he simply sang because he wanted to sing, and that was all there was to it.

He sang the second half of the lyrics about driving the rain off at the top of his voice, and when he reached the second repetition of the 'I will follow mother' line, he suddenly sensed Sukuna's presence behind him.

'There is no way he synced his approach to the song, is there.'

When it came to lying in hiding and holding his breath, Sukuna's ability was formidable, but as soon as the shift into launching an attack happened, his immaturity and inexperience got exposed. Grading Sukuna's performance so, Yukari reached for his beloved sword, Ayamachi, on his back.

Only, the same instance...

"Yukari! Yukari! What did you want?!" the parrot, Kotosaka, that was approaching gliding soundlessly through the vast cavern, croaked.

"!" Even if this sudden turn took him by surprise, Yukari didn't let himself be fazed. He fluidly continued his reaching motion, letting his senses and instincts control his body. As he did, his senses informed him that Sukuna's presence vanished. 'Oh?'

At the same time, his instincts ordered him to swing his drawn blade. Mid-swing, Yukari picked up what was going on.

Behind the airborne Kotosaka was Sukuna leaping in mid-air without making a sound. He didn't erase his presence, he was going for the kill by using the parrot's approach and syncing his breathing with Kotosaka's.

'Well done!'

Still, despite giving praise where it was due, Yukari had no intention of going easy on Sukuna.

The two blades locked, with the poor panicking Kotosaka caught in-between.

"Dahaha! You created a time lag advantage for yourself and even used the trick with summoning Kotosaka, and all it yielded is a bump on your person?" "Unfair! Mean!"

The voices of the members gathered at a low table where pepper steak was spilling steam echoed.

"Shut up... Tch, even all that wasn't enough, huh. And here I thought I was able to 'sync' pretty well." "The result may be a painful bump, but you did very well."

Even as they talked, the plates and chopsticks were put on the table, rice was served and miso soup poured into bowls.

"You all seem rather happy today. Excellent."

The founder of the Green clan, Jungle, the Green King Hisui Nagare finally made his appearance in a wheelchair.

Lately, he had been working hard, investigating the whereabouts of the Silver and Gold kings and doing a lot of work only he could, but since his complexion was never healthy to begin with, overwork didn't impact his overall appearance all that much.

His loyal retainers, the J-rankers and those who weren't that, greeted him.

"Nope, I'm not happy. In the end, my scheme didn't work." "Grumble all you want, but your face says otherwise. I know, you just can't come out and honestly admit it even to yourself when you're experiencing these bittersweet moments of adolescence... yep, yep." "Iwa-san, you sound like an old man." "Old fart! Gramps! Old man!" "Who are you calling old fart?!"

The lively exchange was going in a circle, as if copying the shape of the low table. Hisui, too, joined in and pitched from his corner of the circle.

"Soon, we shall clash with the Blue clan all out, so everyone, please get ready." "Haha~ At long las-- bwooh?!" "Caw--?!" "Woah! Iwa-san spit out his beer!" "Oh gosh, I hope none of it ended up in our pepper steak?"

Not caring about the ensuing hustle and bustle that included violent coughing and people rushing to find a dish cloth, Hisui continued with his declaration as the Green King. To him, there was no need for obedience as this, too, was ordinary, like sleeping and eating.

"I'm planning to issue a wide variety of missions, from small scale disturbances that will put our low ranking clansmen to use, to large scale attacks big enough to drag out the Blue King himself."

Hisui shifted his eyes towards Jungle's sole legitimate J-ranker who raised his plate with pepper steak. With what he had been eagerly awaiting finally coming, the boy gazed back with eyes cloudy with delight.

Talking pleasure in ordering a new beginning, the king asked, "You're up. Are you ready, Sukuna?"

His fighter, coming alive now that the time forcing him to lie low was over at last, challenged with building heat, "Yes, of course."

Holding his breath as to not let a quiet chuckle slip out, Yukari smiled at the boy's invested readiness.
