Fujimoto dropping the reason for it to be Chainsaw Man in chapter 184, iconic. Life’s like a chain on a blade turning round and round again and again, with its bumps and lows but it keeps going. It’s always the same chain spinning on the same blade but somehow you can still seize your fate and choose who you want to be.

Being fine with your family being killed isn’t exactly what I was thinking of when I theorized here last time but ok. Just a less delicate way of phrasing it lmao. Well played

It must have hurt Sanemi deeply seeing Giyuu show the first telltale signs of the effects of having the mark.

The realization of it hitting him like a sword struck his heart multiple times, though there was no blood in him, the pain was enough to warrant his own death.

For seeing the condition of one he loved most slowly deteriorate, is the pain he was forced to face yet again.

It was heartbreaking to see how Giyuu would often downplay it as though he's fine when it was obvious he wasn't. His small smile that he always uses to reassure Sanemi that everything is as it should be.

Except it wasn't as it should be. They contributed to the peace that everyone was enjoying now, yet why were they deprived of more time to love life as it is?

Why were they denied of the chance to just be normal? After all the heartbreaks and loss they both had suffered?

It was a question that Sanemi often dismisses from his mind for it might come out as selfish, but weren't they allowed to be selfish just this one time?

The first time Giyuu had felt his body getting weaker was right after one of the usual dates he and Sanemi used to take. It was a promise that they would use all the time they had to do all the things they haven't experienced before.

Giyuu, under a big cherry blossom tree, stated how much he enjoyed their date, like always. He was happy and smiling, a feeling and a gesture that Giyuu never had the privilege of having and doing back when they were Pillars.

Right after saying, "Let's go again next week.", Giyuu walked ahead, and Sanemi would have continued to admire him, had it not for the sudden halting of Giyuu's steps, his hand instinctively placed on his own chest, the slight wincing as well as widening of his eyes was enough for both of them to realize what was happening.

"Tomioka—" Sanemi immediately reached out to his lover, but by the time he did so, his Tomioka was already back on his normal stance, a small smile on his face.

"I'm okay." Except he wasn't. And he would never be the same after it.

Silence engulfed the two of them, but neither said a word back home.

As weeks and months passed by, Giyuu's condition worsened, his body became more susceptible to all kinds of illnesses and complications. He could no longer take long walks, he could no longer eat a lot, he could no longer run or do excessive chores, less he would be bedridden for the rest of the day.

On the rare times they made love right after realizing what was happening, Sanemi would be nothing but gentle and urge Giyuu to rest. But the latter would place both hands on his cheeks, caressing Sanemi's face, tracing his scars and looking at him with nothing but love in his eyes, and there were times it would take everything in Sanemi not to break down due to the cruelty and frustration of everything.

Sanemi wanted Giyuu to show honesty, to rant about how unfair life had been, to wish for more time, and probably to shed a tear on two at how much he desired more summers with Sanemi.

But Tomioka never shed a tear. His body may be getting weaker, but his heart and his mind was strong.

Barely a week before Giyuu's 25th birthday, he could no longer walk, he was being carried by Sanemi on his arms. His breathing was slowed, yet he kept that tiny smile on his lips as he "watched" and felt the breeze hitting his skin, and he knew that the cherry blossom petals are dancing in the air.

Sanemi was watching him and it took all of him to not cry when Giyuu gazed at him again, the latter's eyes focused on him, even if his sight had long faded.

And Sanemi knew, the rest of Tomioka would follow soon.

"I hope we can still go here next week."

Sanemi could feel his eyes burn, and before he knew it, Tomioka's hands were on his cheeks once more, gently trying to caress his lover's tears away.

"I can no longer see you, so I can't accurately wipe your tears away." Tomioka himself was crying, but the unwavering smile on his face was both heartwarming and heart wrenching.

Tomioka closed his eyes, and smiled wider.

"Please smile, Sanemi."

It made Sanemi break down into tears more, but he willed himself to do one last thing for his beloved.

"I love you..." Tomioka's voice never once stuttered, "I'm sorry that your last memory of me saying those words would be this painful, but I hope you remember what it truly means for me, and for the both of us."

Sanemi's tears continued to fall and blur his vision, but all he could see was his Tomioka. He refused to close his eyes, as if by doing so, he was engraving into his memory everything about his beloved.

Tomioka opened his unseeing blue eyes, and even if there were tears in them too, his entirety exudes a love that will stay even when he's long gone.

"I love you too..." Sanemi blurts it out, "I'm sorry that I took too long to say it..."

His voice was broken by his choked sobs but Giyuu's hum of acknowledgment and joy was enough.

"Thank you for everything, Sanemi. I was happy to have had the privilege to know you, to love you, and to be loved by you."

We walked with our small shoulders side-by-side

Laughing together about nothing in particular, we saw the same dream

If I listen in close, I can still hear your voice,

In the midst of this town dyed orange

ok I’m not a fan of the mcdonalds memes but I can’t stop thinking about what would happen if they existed in-universe—midoriya’s friends would all be offended on his behalf, and midoriya would be offended on behalf of mcdonalds workers, and bakugou would keep waking up in the middle of the night thinking “why does everyone keep thinking deku would work at mcdonalds? is there something fundimental to the nature of heroism that deku knows instinctivly that also appears in mcdonalds workers, and I’m just blind to it? is he surpassing me again?? no way am I gonna sit and take that!!” and then he applies to work at mcdonalds

I think some people have missed is that we see Yuta's grandkids. Not his children???

I've see some point out the boy looks like Megumi with his hair down, some say he looks like Maki and yeah, grandchildren can look like their grandparents (look at Yuji and Wasuke).

However, it's bothering me that Panda didn't mention Maki. People say that "in Panda's epilogue we get what happened to Yuta and Maki". No, we didn't. From the translations, we got what happened to Yuta. And if Maki had been mentioned, I'm sure any translation would have explicitly stated her name.

He became head to the Gojo family and that he had grandkids. In Panda's epilogue, it's 2080. That's 62 years after the main story. Panda stopped functioning in 2035, 17 years after the main story.

By 2035, Yuta would be 34 years old. That's a reasonable age to have been married, right?

That means Panda could have attended Yuta's wedding and know who he married. Had it been Maki, you would think that Panda who tried to hook them up in JJK 0 would have mentioned her name. Maki, who Panda knew before he knew Yuta.

Given that there is a mutual bond there between Yuta and Maki, you would think it would be written in that they got married, right?

Unless, they actually didn't.

Again, those were Yuta's grandkids. For all we know, the Gojo clan probably arranged a marriage between him and some unknown woman and somewhere down the line Yuta's child (or one of his children) hooked up with someone who happened to share similar features to Maki and Megumi.

"But Kiya, didn't Maki wipe out the Zenin clan?"

Yeah, but again, I said someone with similar features. Not a relative.

Shoot, in that case, what if Maki had a kid of her own that Yuta's kid married and they had kids, resulting into the two grandchildren we see.

Maybe not everyone from the Zenin clan got wiped out. Like Toji, someone probably had long left that clan and changed their name, had a family down the line and Yuta or his child may have hooked up with said person.

Look, this is not me hating the ship. I don't actually. I had a thought and it's been bothering me.

As of late, it has came to my attention that people are quick to call anything "canon" and forget that the word "implied" exists. And in turn, show just how much they care about the characters which doesn't seem like a lot.

All people seem to care about is a ship being canon. It does not have to be for it to be enjoyed, you know.

Since Panda's epilogue came out, I have seen people be quick to once more label Maki as "Yuta's girl" and that's it. Like, was that all that mattered to you? "He clapped Maki's cheeks."

I highly doubt it. He may have clapped someone's cheeks but it wasn't said to be Maki's from what I have seen. Heck, Yuta may not have had sex at all to have kids. He could have just gotten a surrogate mother. Maki could have been a surrogate mother.

"But it's canon!" Yuta and Maki being married is as canon as Sukuna's birthday being in the summer.

As in, it's not. Yuta being married is canon, yes. Who he is married to is the mystery.

If, hard if there, it's Maki, okay that's great.

But, Panda not mentioning her leaves other possibilities for me.

With Gege's writing I do feel like there are times that the audience have to fill in the blanks by the characters and their actions and visual cues. However, there are other times that maybe "no, that's actually not the case".
