That's Crazy Bc When Toji Lost, His Worm Crawled To Geto
That's crazy bc when Toji lost, his worm crawled to Geto
And when Gojo lost, he crawled back to Geto too
I adore your “Sukuna’s Negative Rizz” post, But I think the “groom costume” is a little iffy because it seems like Shinto grooms usually wear black haori. Apparently Gojo’s is purple LOL. Like Toji’s purple worm over his shoulder. I really think Gege was making a heavy handed point about Gojo pulling a Toji and forgetting his duty to Megumi by trying to affirm himself with Sukuna.
The groom claim costume is iffy. I won’t deny that at all. Sukuna isn’t in traditional bridewear either. He’s just in mostly white. For those reasons, I think this interpretation is drawing from the hidden symbolism instead of the overt symbolism.
Gege does this thing where themes/framing are either vague or have a lot of overlap. There’s usually multiple reasons for certain choices, and their meanings change depending on how you view them.
How Gojo is dressed as Toji is something I also used to argue he is functionally Megumi’s dad. But that analysis was about Gojo and Megumi’s relationship, so only the Toji outfit comparison is made and Sukuna is barely mentioned.
Sukuna’s Negative Rizz is me going “ok what if this was a date?” and then gathering evidence I think supports it. That doesn’t mean the deliberate Toji parallels aren’t there at the same time. It’s just that for the sake of exploring the date angle, it wasn’t relevant. (In other words, your interpretation works too.)

Link to the vid ^ (also they have a lot more of jjk analysis, references to paintings and Buddhism stuff etc it goes so deep)
The spiral staircase is from a music video?
This was my thought on the last page
I've been wondering where it is - if it were in the cursed warehouse, or further down with Tengen, then kenjaku might have found it.
I think Gojo might have hidden the finger overseas - maybe during his trip to visit Yuuta before the exchange event.
Then either Gojo could have gone to retrieve it, or Larue and Miguel brought it with them.

incorrect jjk quotes [14/?]
I'm going to be as vague as possible here, with only implied csa, heavier content warning for all the linked posts.
A while ago I was thinking about how Mai and Sukuna seemed quite similar. Secretly very hurt people who put on this edgelord show and pretend not to care or feel.
Since reading these posts about Mai, it got me thinking even more like. The triggers that caused sukuna and Mai to act in ways that made them unloveable characters.
Like when Nobara said "trouble sleeping? You've got open pores", I think that hit a nerve because Mai probably had insomnia and recurring nightmares. Her family would have scapegoated the victim (which is really common irl - somehow it's more shameful to acknowledge a predator in the family than it is to defend them).
And Sukuna with Mimiko - that always drove me insane. It made me resent sukuna for a long time, but gradually I grew this fixation to understand him. Anyway, I'd said before that it was feeling manipulated and told what to do that triggered Sukuna - but I don't think that's it.
Mimiko was terrified of him. They both were. But God, when else have we seen someone's head explode like that? Haruta got one slice. Nanako got cubed. Even the fingie curse that was afraid of Sukuna and attacked him instead of joining forces - that thing got five slices (and he intended for three).
Whatever reactions people had to Sukuna when he lived as a human (and in his current life), whether he was deified or demonized or enslaved, he was seen as a threat to restrain, he was an object of fear. I think the twins' fear of Sukuna hit a nerve.
The fingie curse wasn't trying to use Sukuna - it directly attacked him. But to be feared and told what to do, I think that mix really hit some unresolved trauma.
Edit to add:
another idea I forgot to include is that Sukuna would have known the twins were asking sukuna to kill kenjaku. I think part of him really, really wants to, but due to a pact or something he can't, and that also made him feel helpless. (tbh I don't totally understand this - kenjaku seems to have a covercive relationship with the reincarnated sorcerers. Not only are they taking over someone else's body without being invited to - but they seem rly uncomfortable with him. And it's like they try to get past that... But at the end of the Shibuya arc, Kenjaku said that the pacts he made w those sorcerers were voided when he changed bodies. I assume that, even someone who makes pacts often (like Sukuna) doesn't know that they become nullified when kenjaku changes bodies (how could they know? No one else does that). Or maybe they are only canceled on Kenjaku's end, but the other sorcerers might still face consequences (which I find less believable, as their old bodies are also gone, though maybe eating themselves was also a way to retain that bond).
If you want a deeper read w even more context (especially on sukuna), here's a link. (this post got me thinking so much, half of my drafts are in reaction to it probably)
