[sugurugayto]

i made a post a while ago highlighting the contrasts between satosugu and itafushi. with the new chapter, i see a new possibility for another contrast.

in shibuya arc before gojo got sealed, he called suguru's name, hoping that he could take his body back.

suguru did, however, his attempt was NOT successful. he did strangle kenjaku (or his body for that matter) but he wasn't able to fully take control of his body

and yet, see how, the veins in kenjaku's hands are popping (because of suguru still trying to fight back) and how his neck was bruised (from when suguru strangled kenjaku).

the thing is, suguru was already dead when kenjaku took his body, but he's still fighting back

and now with chapter 212 (major chapter spoilers under the cut)

megumi was still alive when sukuna force fed him the finger

and now megumi is sukuna's new host. like with geto and kenjaku, megumi couldn't control his body (unlike what yuji could with sukuna)

we saw if geto could take control of his body for a while with him being technically dead, it's not impossible for megumi to do that too, but with higher chances of succeeding since he's alive before sukuna made him his new host

my point is since itafushi and satosugu work so well as foils, maybe geto trying to take control of his body and failing isn't a foreshadowing of him being able to fully take back his body later on, but to megumi doing it and succeeding.

i mentioned in the previous post that where satosugu failed, itafushi succeeded and maybe this would be another case proving it.
