Why Do I Have A Feeling This Is Going To Happen On Thursday

Why do I have a feeling this is going to happen on Thursday

thank you for writing out all your thoughts on the dream theory!! it’s so so interesting and i have been thinking about it non stop lmaoo

i think it could be interesting to note that the only chapter title (i think) that mentions dreams is chapter 11. literally called “a dream”. this title is referring to gojo’s dream of “resetting” the world of jujutsu, and not really relating to this dream state/delusions. but it could still relate to this theory?

to achieve this dream, gojo explains that he became a teacher to foster strong allies, with yuuji front and center of that frame. yuuji wakes up right after this and while it’s unclear if he heard any of it at all, yuuji’s current dream (assuming the theory is correct) could be a way of preserving gojo’s memory, and therefore gojo’s dream of this fixed jujutsu world (specifically see gakuganji saying chill everything’s gonna be alright) where everyone is alive.

another interesting point is that the clocks in 268-269 seem to go backwards? in 268, when they realize they’re late to meet up with the others, the clock reads 2:52. but in 269, once they’re fully in the meeting, the clock reads 2:21. it could just be a coincidence but the clock in 269 takes up almost an entire page. and also when you’re dreaming time is all wonky/ clocks don’t work quite right…

The dream used in JJK 270 differs slightly from JJK 11 in Japanese. Kanji can be read in multiple ways depending on a lot of things I don't have the energy to explain right now. Anyways, the dream in JJK 270 is 夢 (ゆめ=ゆ(Yu)め(Me)=Yume) while the dream in JJK 11 is 夢想 (むそう=む(Mu)そ(So)(u)=Musou). The Furigana above the Kanji lets you know how it's supposed to be read.

夢 (Yume) is referring to dreams in the general sense while 夢想 (Musou) is referring to a dream that is very unlikely to happen. It's almost like a wishful thinking type dream or goal if that makes sense?

This probably has some implications that are going over my head because my Japanese sucks, but I do think you're onto something. The dream/delusion Yuji has created has some preeeetty far fetched logistics not unlike Gojo's dream. Like the vessels of the incarnated sorcerers surviving the separation process at 1%. (This is excluding soul damage lobotomies.)

"yuuji’s current dream (assuming the theory is correct) could be a way of preserving gojo’s memory"

Honestly, that alone is a really good way to look at it. Yuji seems to be unable to confront Gojo's death head on, so the next best way to keep him "alive" is to see his dreams realized.

And yup that's another good catch. The clocks do be going backwards. (Kind of like resetting of the crappy Jujutsu world Gojo wants?)

It's all so tragic though. Yuji trying to keep Gojo alive this way by denying his death and making his dreams come true. He's only 15...he doesn't know how to cope with it all.

ui ui said that replacement training can only be done twice in a month (for each person).

Yuuji was planning to train with Yuuta and Kusakabe.

Does this mean that Yuuta only had one day to learn the limitless technique?

Or... Were they spending extended periods of time in each other's bodies?

Edit to add - Yuuta mentions it being "a single replacement" in ch. 262.2. I just forgot!

Still we don't know how long that session lasted. But it only happened once.

Hi !! So, the clock thing has all of us asking questions and stuff and I didn’t wanna theorise too much, BUT IT’S TOO HARD NOT TO, so I’ll give my two cents.

So, I searched what clocks in dreams mean and this is the first result: “Clock dreams often occur when one is faced with serious and life-threatening illness, or is close to someone who is in such a situation. Trying to stop a clock, or a clock breaking, can represent a fear of death. Clocks gone out of control symbolize unresolved fears and anxieties.”😀😀 I mean…

ALSO, from what I remember, the clock was shown twice since the battle, right? What if they’re the times of the d*aths of Yuji and Megumi?

The clocks were shown thrice! But the 3rd time was very quick and no face was shown.

This is just Jojo Part 6 trauma talking, but I do Not like that it's implying things are speeding up...

Right after this page about a rushing manga artist that has quotes like "You have a bitter tale to tell there, don't you?" and "Better hurry." it just leaps through characters. Takaba gets a page, Rin gets 2.5 pages, Higuruma gets the equivalent of 1 page thats broken across 2 pages, Hana gets 2.3 pages then we're onto the mission! The final one!

That would be messed up if those were times of death. But I'm not sure if anyone is dead until we get that final chapter. There are ways to make everyone live that are worse than death if we consider the Merger.

Time seems to be running out for some reason and I don't think I'm ready learn why that is.

This got me thinking - how did Kenjaku turn Tengen into a fetus?

Is it symbolic for age regression?

It it the effect of his domain?

Kenjaku's domain expansion is called womb profusion - which could be taken as bountiful or extravagant womb.

Translation notes here

The headless adult bodies could represent the loss of self, or maybe the absence of a mother.

What Kenjaku did with Tengen feels very similar to Geto's curse manipulation - to absorb the spirit and take use of its power.

Is Kenjaku's ability basically the same as curse manipulation - but with sorcerers? Is that a reason why he was after Geto for his CT?

Or is Kenjaku blending Geto's CT with something else to take Tengen like this?

Couldn't find my good fingie sculpting fork. You know what that means....
