mahito the only curse who bleeds red.

mahito the only curse who reads books.

mahito the only curse who watches movies.

mahito the only curse who watches movies despite movies being as jogo puts it “human superficialities”.

mahito the only curse who wants to understand humans.

mahito the only curse who wants to understand himself.

mahito the curse who comes from humans.

“Yuji’s an all right kid.” Gojo ran his finger around the rim of his glass. A faint, high sound, like that of a stringed instrument, rang out. “He’s determined and brave. And he’s decisive in a fight. Nonetheless, he’s a bit too upright sometimes. I’m worried that it will break his heart eventually.”

Mita Komon always wins.

Who is Mita Komon? What are they winning?

Mita Komon, from the (Edo, the era of Samurai) period drama TV series, was based on a Samurai in real life, named Mitsukuni Mito.

Mita Komon travels around to "help the weak and discourage the strong" (which sounds a lot like Geto's ethics statement in s2e1, or Ch. 65 of the manga), vanquish evil, serve justice to the people, and teach moral lessons. The drama is known for its human qualities, with unique characters, comedy, emotion, history and culture.

“… I don’t know what you have in mind regarding Sukuna’s vessel, but-”

“I don’t mean Sukuna’s vessel, I’m talking about the kid named Yuji Itadori.”

Mahito had to wonder that if humans were creatures whose fear gave birth to curses, was this old man really a human being? His feelings at the moment were difficult to describe, but they were peaceful. Since encountering human beings, he had never felt such peace. “If everyone in the human world was like you, I’d never have been born,” Mahito noted. He looked at the book in his hands. The old man fell silent and stared into space as he always did. Humans gave birth to curses, but curses killed humans. There was no possibility of coexistence. Yet a curse and human were coexisting there in this tunnel. The situation was unusual, but it was a serene time, and together they passed it in serenity.

If anyone is looking for closure on the end of jjk,

Especially itafushi vs Hana

Or even about Gojo... (if you squint)...

The first chapter of the first light novel is so good. It foreshadows ch. 264-the end of the manga.

I haven't read the other 2 stories yet.

Gojo being the source of all of Ijichi’s stress in 4K

Summer of Ashes, Autumn of Dust

Currently reading the first jujutsu kaisen light novel (for the first time) and taking notes in the margins. I'll share my findings here.

Frankly I'd recommend reading this before the manga, because knowing what I know from that makes it feel like I'm spontaneously combusting. This would have been so useful in my predictions lmao.

If spoilers come up explicitly, I would use a read more line or tag those posts with jjk manga spoilers so it's able to be filtered out. So far I've been able to be vague with it, and just naming the season we might see the connection to.

So far we have jjk0 (movie), season 1 and season 2. I'm assuming that season 3 will end with an earthquake, then we'll have another movie, and jjk will end on season 4. This way, I can cater to anime-only and manga fans by vaguely referencing the future (iykyk, if you don't, you're safe from spoilers).

If you've already read the book, then this blog will probably make more sense. Or drive you insane bc you know things I don't.

There is sooo much foreshadowing and insight into relationships etc that just shows gege rly had the ending planned since the beginning... And it's so sweet but there's so much and it would kill the reading enjoyment for all of us if I spell that out. Trying to keep this blog anime-only friendly, only posting things that we wouldn't learn from the anime and the manga.

Love. Was that really such an important thing? Human beings were obsessed with it, Mahito knew. Some curses came from love, and some of those were incredibly fearsome. However, Mahito didn’t understand how the mechanism of human love was any different from a cat’s attachment to its favorite blanket.
