#yutamaki for the win

[sweetbisscuit]

I’m so freaking mad right now, just saw someone comment about yutaxmaki saying it’s garbage and their moment in that classroom isn’t anything like ??? Did we read the same chap of jjk 0?? What do you mean that meaningful moment isn’t anything?? Their whole interaction and arc was one of the best foundation to ship them!!

I don’t usually do this, but I’m so frustrated that I’m going to explain why I love Yuta x Maki ship.

We saw yuta being this insecure and mess of a person because of rikas curse, in everything he did he felt helpless, scared, and didn’t know how he’d live his life. Then here comes maki, the person who made him face his insecurities and showed him a way, a guide, somewhere he can start in order for him to live his life and in a way that gave yuta the push and resolve to change, resulting in his major development, tell me thats not nothing.

Both showed their vulnerabilities to each other and both acknowledged and accepted that. Maki in her own way, made him take a step to change and helped him get better, to fight and be confident in his skills and this things creating an impact within yuta. he literally looks up to her, admires her even, and that admiration, that respect of her strength and resilience, causes Maki to feel confident and accepted, almost as if saying her existence wasn’t a failure like her family claims. Even with the short interaction we saw, those developments was something that, for the both of them was impactful and meaningful that caused them to develop in a good way. With Yuta finding the resolve to change, being more confident than before and Maki being able to acknowledge her own existence. They bring out the best of each other and thats one of the reason I ship the two.

It’s funny really, rereading the first chapter of jjk 0, esp their first interaction, you can see how Maki saw a bit of herself in Yuuta. Maki, from the zenin clan who have felt helpless due to feeling of inadequacy, who was always told over and over that she was weak, a failure, a disgrace from her family; and Yuuta, despite having the protection of the curse felt helpless because of that curse. who convinced himself that he deserved punishment, who, with his tremendous power is considered special (i want to list more ‘cause they parallel each other so much, like don’t get me started on that yuuta-gojo and maki-toji parallel) and yet despite all of that, both of them want to prove and be confident that its okay for them to live.

Anyway, that’s my rant. Feels like I just rambled and said nothing at the same time, but oh well.

Also, just ‘cause you have a diff ship doesn’t mean you have to disregard one of the crucial developments that shaped the two of them and call it nothing, you don’t have to belittle another ship just to praise yours.

Random YutaMaki Headcanons Pt. 2

Note: InuOkko and NobaMaki were never canon or better than YutaMaki. Cry me a damn river, will you?

-They LOVE going on amusement parks together. It's their thing. Ferris wheel, roller coaster, you name it. Maki convinces Yuta to go on the roller coasters no matter how scared he is.

"Stop being all scared- you can handle curses, almost sacrificing yourself to a damn dead girl curse from your past...You can handle this! I thought you got past being scared of everything-!"

*Cough* He ends up enjoying it with Maki in the end. *Cough*

-We know they train and spar together, correct? So, PILLOW FIGHTS. THEY DO THOSE WHENEVER ONE STAYS OVER. None of them ever hold back, they go at it. Of course Maki always wins though- and sometimes Rika might come out since she thinks Yuta may be in trouble. ☠️

-They go out on night walks when the weather is nice and they can't sleep and just chit chat away. At first, it's light-hearted and playful. However at times Yuta just says something that is so sweet and cute about her, it hits Maki in the right spot as if she's in a romance Anime as the girl who constantly gets flustered. Poor girl is actually about to start tearing up due to how nice it is ESPECIALLY if this takes during or a bit after JJK 0. (This was seen in the classroom scene when Yuta said he wants to be like her, girl was about to cry of happiness Istg.)

-Yuta loves watching cartoons with Maki. No matter how childish they are, Whether it be Mickey Mouse, Looney Toons, you name it. They live in a world of curses, death, and sadness. These teens need some happiness in their life or else they'll go emo.

-Maki wanted to try editing at one time. Due to all of her training, it makes it a bit harder. So if they ever stay over at each other's dorms they might try to make some edits together.

-Yuta wants to take Maki on a vacation someday. Literally anywhere. Hawaii, Bahamas, Alaska, ANYWHERE.

-They just enjoy doing activities together, really.

U being anti IH what if the same thing happens to gjhm and they become canon but don't have as much material as other ship?

I'm not sure if you're asking this with malicious intent or if it's a genuine question from a fellow shipper, but here we go.

(Oncoming lengthy response)

I've actually had this thought before. What if despite his different writing style, the general hate the Bleach ED got, & just how ridiculous it sounds, Gege pulled a Kubo? After all, he's a fanboy of the man (I wonder what he thinks of the Bleach ED? Is he aware of how it was received?).

I would be shocked, conflicted, & worried.

To start with, while neither ship should be compared due to how fundamentally different they are, I will say this. Despite several interactions, IH severely lacked chemistry, trust, & meaningful moments. Meanwhile, GojoHime with less on-screen interactions & a playful dynamic, have shown us a deep trust for each other & have worked together to achieve their shared goals. Despite being a minor side character, Utahime is one of the few people Gojo trusts & one of the three adults he calls by first name with no honorific. This already puts them leagues above IH, who were barely friends at best & acquaintances at worst.

So, I wouldn't want GjHm to somehow get the IH treatment in the end. I wouldn't wish that on any shipper, heck, I even feel sort of bad for the IH's, cuz despite becoming "canon" out of nowhere 7 years ago, they still. don't. have. content (especially from the author himself, who has shown no particular interest in his endgames. They don't even have a family sketch 🫢). Makes you wonder who really lost here (as IchiRuki has still gotten some content over the years post-ED...).

GjHm already gets enough hate for simply existing, despite it being a smaller ship with a smaller fanbase in the JJK fandom (the antis are threatened by the potential it has, not to mention it's the most popular JJK straight ship in Japan), so if Gege were to pull a Kubo, the hate would increase, especially towards Utahime, who of course would amass the most hate from this freakin' fandom that's obsessed with Gojo. It'd be a tough time for us fans of the ship & Utahime.

After dealing with the aftermath of the Naruto Shipping Wars as a soldier in the NaruHina army lol (don't even get me started on why NH is NOT like IH, plus we actually have content 🤪), & then witnessing the disastrous Bleach ED & the general hate it got, I do NOT wish to go thru this again. Whether you win or lose, if it isn't done properly, you'll still deal with criticism left & right... (why can't more battle shounens be like Fairy Tail when it comes to slowly developing the ships throughout the story? There'd be less drama...)

Gege keeps saying the manga will end soon, so that means if he wants to make anyone canon by the end, he'll have to start now. JJK is a battle shounen with no romance, but if despite this, GjHm are to be canon, then their moments leading up to it will have to be quality > quantity. Is there enough room/time to develop them the way we would wish? Doubt it, so we'll need at least a couple flashbacks to further justify them (and boy, we're still waiting for their flashback after Gojo's unsealing, if that ever comes...).

Basically, even if it's a few moments, they need to be impactful enough to make even the casual readers/viewers think, "I could see them ending up together." Subtlety & slow burn are usually the best fit for battle shounens, after all, &/or maybe a little further (once again, like Fairy Tail). With that said, out of all the potential ships in the series, I personally view YutaMaki as the most likely to become canon by the end; their moments, far & few in between, are enough to convince me that they could be endgame (that is, if the capricious Gege so wished 😓).

So far, we've seen nothing of what Gojo & Utahime truly think of each other. To reiterate, they have a silly dynamic but have shown to trust each other implicitly. Why this is, we can only guess. I mean, Utahime has risked her life for Gojo twice already (investigating the mole & buffing him against Sukuna). Where is this supposed "hate" she holds for him? It's stated in the databook that she hates him most of the time, so how does she feel at other times? 🤔 And Gojo, despite his teasing, has shown he cares for her, saved her, & obviously trusted her with the aforementioned important & risky tasks.

Just what is going on with these two? Is it really so impossible that there could be something more here? Whether now or later? Gege would just need to give us a little more... Though at this point, there's only so much we can hope for, considering his writing style & how things have been seemingly going... Gotta keep our expectations low...

(What if—delulu plot twist—GjHm are already together, either secretly this whole time—like some ppl have wondered, as this could further explain the immense trust in each other—or got together during the timeskip, & all we need now is the big reveal with a/some proper flashback(s) to explain it? LOL. Just a silly idea 😜).

Anyway, in general, I wouldn't want GjHm becoming canon at the cost of its beautiful potential. We'd need some more moments to justify it, or else I'd have to put back on my old "army uniform" to defend my ship if need be. So, despite how unlikely it would be, I can only hope Gege does NOT pull a Kubo (well, he's more likely to kill everyone off or something like that 🙄).

I'd rather he pulled a Sorachi (author of Gintama) & left things open-ended, keeping the fandom from turning into utter chaos...

(Maybe only that side might lose it, tho, lol. They get bothered by anything that doesn't adhere to their ship despite them being down here with us in Delulu Land, oop-).

Got some yutamaki hcs? ✨

YUTAMAKI HEADCANONS

Maki still gets flustered whenever he compliments her or appreciates her.

Yūta and Maki still train together, but after his trip with Miguel, he can actually win or trap her during a spar, the times he does he sneaks kisses on her so she gets distracted.

Since he became taller than her, he often rests his head on hers or her shoulder while she sharpens or improves her weapons and just watches her being concentrated.

In class Maki sits on his desk and he plays with her fingers or her clothes’ creases.

With time Maki’s soft side emerges only with him, meaning hugs and kisses, if somebody teases her about it even if she’s in his arms, she’d yelled at them to mind their business.

Maki hides in Yuta's chest or neck when she gets embarrassed because of someone else teasing her.

They have movie nights. Since they’re in the same ‘building’ as second years, Maki falls asleep before him but she make sure he’s rested as well.

Yūta calls her ‘flower’ from time to time, she heard it first from Rika actually not him.

Panda is the assigned wingman, he doesn't care if they're together he wants to be cupid even then, giving them advices but only receiving a punch from a flustered Maki.

Yuta sleeps with a hand on her boob.

[NSFW] their first time is a bit awkward, Yūta knew what to do more than her tho.

[NSFW] Once they’re comfortable is clear that Yūta has more control but let’s her have some so she doesn’t get too frustrated. She's 'rougher' than he is, he's still on the opinion that she's delicate, even in bed.

[NSFW] (Yūta is mine, Eren, Draken, Kaneki and Ichigo’s group) BOOBS. He plays with them. Sucks on them. Rests his hand on them casually like holding her hand. And that’s on of her most sensitive spots.

[NSFW] He loves to eat her out and occasionally leaves hickeys on her inner thighs, has her wear longer pants when training tho.

[NSFW] Yuta has a breeding kink (but he wears condoms or Maki's on birth control) while Maki has a praise kink.

[NSFW] She leaves more hickeys on him than he does.

Edit: march 26th- Ohh!!! I'm so happy so many ppl are liking yutamaki now!! welcome on the ship guys!!! <3
