Amidst all the stuff going on with Mappa studios, I want to shout out all the animators on staff. They work far too hard, often long and impossible hours, with very little appreciation. Not just for Jujutsu Kaisen, all of Mappa's productions -Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga, Chainsaw Man, Hell's Paradise, etc. I hope that the animation staff gets the appreciation they deserve, all roughly 360 people on staff- along with more reasonable treatment. I'm completely fine with waiting a bit longer for episodes if the staff making them are treated like actual human beings.

God creating hell, wanting it to be a land for the devils only:

God: angels shall not set a foot on this land!

*makes it impossible for them to step onto the ground*

Angels: haha, wings go brrrrr (hovers 5cm over the ground)

God: wait, you weren’t supposed to do that-

Hi okay yes so I'd like to circle back around to something I said in June of 2023:

"...thinking about Vecward "hates the system" Creel and the fact that the US Military is a huge shared enemy for both him and the Party. The military is after El, thinking she's the one behind all this, which the Party isn't going to stand for. Meanwhile, they're also trying to put an end to Vecward's apocalypse (while being the very people who sanctioned the abuse he suffered), which he isn't going to take kindly to. So I'm like. What do we think the chances of either an accidental or purposeful "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation are. Because El and Henward were allies once, and he still doesn't seem to want to kill her, even now he knows she's a threat to him (which...there's something deeper about that than we've been told, I'm certain of it). And even if it is accidental...it would still fit within that pattern of "we're different from each other, but not as different as we like to think we are". Vecward wouldn't be hesitant with the military, I'm sure. I'm also sure he won't be siding with them. That's 100% against his whole manifesto. They certainly aren't on his side, and they very much could present as big a threat to him as El [does]...they've dealt blows to the UD in the past, especially in ST2 with the controlled burns. I mean, I'd hate to see what napalm might do to the UD, if those lab torches garnered such a massive response. It would be in his best interest to eliminate the military, and fast.

Then, with this verse from the Presbyterian church coming out:

The meaning behind it:

All the Holy Trinity coding surrounding Henry, El, and the Mindflayer/Eddie's little monologue about finding lost sheep vs the whole "returning to God" thing from the church sign, and the title of 5.07:

I'm just...hm. We got the bridges. We have a unifying goal. We've got bible references.

Anyway the web is dense and I could go through each connection step by step, but I trust y'all to get the point: there's a theme of reconciliation, specifically between the characters who have heavy ties to the bible (El, Henry, so on and so forth).

If the characters want [insert problem] problem to go away, they need to stop fighting and reconcile...per the church sign, they specifically need to do so instead of relying on "normal" human means—which is, in the case of ST5's overarching conflict, the military.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Apollo hit me with his dodge ball of prophecy on this one.

The Ghost of Achilles

"Achilles is said to have appeared once to a merchant who frequented the island [of Leuke], relating to him what had occurred in Troy while entertaining him with drink, and he ordered him to sail to Ilion and bring him back a particular Trojan maiden, who was a slave to a certain man in Ilion.

The guest was astonished at the command, and boldly asked Achilles why he needed a Trojan slave. Achilles answered, "Because, my guest, she is from the same line as Hektor and his ancestors, and is the last of the blood of the children of Priamos and Dardanos." Of course, the merchant thought Achilles was in love, and after he bought the maiden he sailed back to the island.

Achilles praised the merchant and ordered him to keep the maiden for him on the ship (I suppose because no women where allowed on the island), but to come to the sanctuary that evening and feast sumptuously with him and Helen. When he came, Achilles gave him many things merchants are unable to resist, and said he considered him his guest friend, and granted him a prosperous voyage and fair sailing.

At daybreak Achilles said, "Now take these things and sail away, but leave the girl on the shore for me." They had not yet gone a stade away from land when the girl‘s screaming struck them—Achilles was tearing her apart, and ripping her limb from limb." (Philostratus. On Heroes 56. 6-10)
