YUTAMAKI NATION HOW WE FEELING

[lxmelle]

In my satosugu-diseased brain, Gojo and/or Geto made this face to the other when they were reunited at some point in the afterlife.

For Yuji, the snow is reminiscent of his unchanged soul even despite the trauma and tragedy of what happened. And the “dazzling snow reminds me of someone I really love.” - for Oizawa, it’s a connection to Yuji.

The blue... between Gojo and Geto. Well, we know it reminded them of a time (and of the “one and only”) they had always cherished.

The “feelings arrow” is from Oizawa -> Yuji and not reciprocated.

But for Gojo & Geto? I’m eternally grateful that Gege made it Gojo -> <- Geto.

NOBARA KUGISAKI THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE

What I get from that epilogue chapter :

Uraume = Fridge

[astriddestelle]

JJK epilogue was something. I think shonen writers just don’t know how to write endings or anything besides ooh cool fight. Which valid cause that’s the only reason I watch lol.

As an itafushi girlie I’m content either way. I like Ozawa but all they did was talk once and if they do date who says it’s permanent.

lol but ngl the first thing I thought of is how I just know Megumi is someone where kicking crying and throwing up replaying good luck babe over and over again 🤣😭

Yutamaki confirmed and winning whoooo let’s go!!!

Also note how Yuji and Ozawa kind of look like Sukuna and uruame coincidence I think not.

Ngl the ending feels very underwhelming but I mean every ending of a show I’ve liked has been lowkey ass so I’m not surprised.

I’m like ten for ten now

Attack on Titan, MHA, JJK, Promise Neverland, Death Note, etc it all ends so badly every time 😭

Also nobara beating the mommy issues cycle LET'S GO LESBIANS LET'S GOOOO

[browngurl99]

I don't get why everyone is over hyping the epilogue so much with the yutamaki thing. Especially nobamaki fans... why are they crying over it? It's literally not confirmed!

Not to mention, they're Yuuta's grandkids, not kids. So, the guy who looks like Maki might look like that because of his own mother. She might be related to Zenin clan. We never know.

It's safe to say that gege left it to fans' interpretation

When you’re happy to see a beloved person you’ve been longing to see,

but end up sighing because you’re a bit tsundere...

[chiarrara]

Yuko Ozawa, they could never make me hate you

[feral-sheep]

Sukuna my beloved,,,he's so gorjeus

LOOK AT HIM AHHHHHH

[chiarrara]

awww the epilogues were really sweet!!! Yuko is such a cutie, and I really didn't expect Panda's. I just love seeing Nobara, I don't care what she's doing (WITH THE PONYTAIL? Queen). And Uraume's was nice too.

It was great, I loved it 🩷

[lxmelle]

Please tell me that’s not Yuta’s Rika ring.

[lxmelle]

Is it just me, or is it a bit sad and lonely that panda, with his one core remaining, is alone in a cupboard amongst “treasures”... for years & years as he is mostly forgotten about until someone … rummages through stuff and awakens him?

He is meant to have a soul, which presumably lasts forever in the state he is in (as a cursed corpse).

Hm. I guess it implies that, unless the souls find a way to reincarnate (relevant to all whose souls we have seen in the mysterious “afterlife”), they’ll remain in stasis...

Or something.

Someone plead with Gege to give us another Official Guidebook please 🥹

Tentative thoughts about the JJK Epilogue Chapters that have just leaked.

Spoilers (obviously) under the cut:

As you know if you have come across my posts, I’m a shipper so I view things with a special satosugu lens. I mean, they’re the grandparents - the strongest of the modern era - who started the wave of change, after all.

Just this image alone reminds me of that:

I digress.

So I think it links back to Gojo trying to nurture the students so that what happened to Geto and him wouldn’t be repeated.

The epilogue of each person seems to pull on themes relating to Gojo & Geto.

Snow = their connection = their Ao / 青春 / Blue Spring

Nostalgia. Unchanging bond. A sentimentality. Something treasured.

The person who you are on the inside may not change you when if things in life occur or threaten to change you.

Panda being Yuta’s/Gojo clan’s treasures = being spoken about by children of the future.

The passage of time that is natural. What seems to be a peaceful world. The curse between Yuta & Rika was unlike what was between Gojo & Geto.

If one is willing to heal, people can recover & move on. EDIT: Even if I’m not generally a fan of YutaMaki , I guess I can see the sense in it. Yuta is a bit monstrous from being able to bind Rika & upon releasing use her shikigami & move on (despite(?) his pure love much as it is part of his CT) with Maki. And Maki can use Mai (with honour) to obliterate her clan to change things. So they’re just quite fitting I guess. Gojo & Geto are a little different in that they moved on in some ways, but also bound each other emotionally until the end.

“From the bottom of my heart” / 心底 / 心の底 (as pictured from jjk0) - sincerity, authenticity. One’s true self.

That it matters whether one truly and sincerely cares. Whether the other portrays themselves authentically or not.

Even the blindfold and Gojo’s somewhat disapproving attitude towards Geto’s apparent frivolous attitude in his portrayal as a villain was pictured in 0 — seem to parallels with Nobara & her mum.

But they’re of course not perfectly paralleled. Gojo cared for Geto & Geto was honest with Gojo at the end. Geto also never enjoyed doing what he did, unlike that Nobara’s mum appears to. But that is if we believe what she actually says.

U: Aren’t you cold being beside me?

S: The same goes for you, Uraume.

Theme here? My only one.

Each other’s only exception. And they’re reunited in the afterlife.

Edit: if I’m not mistaken, Gojo & Geto do not refer to each other by name in the afterlife. Only in the scene in jjk 0 (“satoru, you’re late” & “suguru, ______”).

And so it seems poignant that Sukuna & Uraume call each other by name in the afterlife + flashback in the epilogue.

It makes for a nice contrast between the pairs, imho... it’s worth noting here that they also go in opposite directions - South & North, respectively. To the past/“unknown” and somewhere new/a “next time”.

In sum... It echoes my thoughts over the ending of jjk. Gojo, Geto, and the others of their generation helped to break the norms of the crappy jujutsu world.

Gege injects these little salient themes into the series and they’re like Easter eggs for people like me who think too much 🤣

Thank you Gege for writing this...

Thank you guys for reading my thoughts & musings.

Comments are welcome as always 🙏🏼

May the yearning be perpetual~ 🤍 Not Yuji and Suguru making similar open-mouthed smiles…
