Wake up, Fushiguro

i recently saw a post about "this probably wouldn't happen but imagine itadori not letting fushiguro die at all" which would definitely be interesting

but also consider: at this point in the manga, from what bits of spoilers i've seen, itadori has been fighting sukuna with EVERYTHING he has, been burnt to a crisp and even using his own domain expansion(which takes a lot of energy.) if he succeeds in saving fushiguro, he's not going to be in great shape. even if he can use rct that will take energy he may or may not have.

and if fushiguro (mr. i'll save the people i want to) wakes to see his best friend who fought to save him all burned and battered and on the verge of death... and also flashing back to all the people sukuna killed while in his body...

consider fushiguro getting that unhinged look on his face and going "if i have to live thru this shit, so do you"

this could be a yuuta/rika style curse with a blood pact, hell he could try to make him into a shikigami somehow, idk. i just don't think he'd accept itadori dying that easily (tho that may be the route canon takes)

Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire.

I think a lot about highly perceptive and emotionally intelligent Yuuji. He knows he's in love with Megumi and that Megumi hasn't realized that he's in love with Yuuji too. He never planned to interfere because he believed things were better this way - until Sukuna convinced Megumi that he'd lost everything. Now Yuuji needs Megumi to not only wake up from the bath, but to open his eyes to everything.

Lyric is from Take me back to Eden by Sleep Token - my itafushi song of all time.

gege known for subverting expectations so what if he makes itafushi live to trick us (delusion)
