Because it's a dreamlike place
Cosplayers, maid cafés, giant robots on foreign vehicles, video game characters, bright advertisements, etc. that make it feel like a theme park
He says he wants to go for the sight-seeing - which is foreshadowing ch. 265??

love is embracing what was a curse
the ending was foreshadowed, kinda sorta, in a roundaboutway.
I've been given a physical copy of the first light novel. Its margins are wide. Ink bleeds not through the pages. It begs for annotations.
For the sake of all our sanity, I will be sharing details from it to a side blog, @hermit-reads.
If you want to read the book without searching up every reference to an unfamiliar Japanese thing, I got you.
If you got the super autism jjk fever and crave petty meta analysis, I got you.
And if you don't want to hear about the light novel, dw, I should be able to keep it off of this blog.
Hello everyone I may have found more itafushi propaganda.
So in ch. 266, Fushiguro and Yuuji have that heart to heart conversation about life, dreams and suffering.
And ducks get a weird amount of screen time. That has to mean something, yeah?
They even come out of the manga panels - which I've grown to believe means that they feel like something inevitable, that will reach you (based on Mahito and Sukuna's hands, I think it's a design choice to illicit emotion in the reader).
So I looked up Japanese symbolism for ducks...
Transformation. Purification. Metamorphosis. Marital happiness. Nurturing and bonding. Good luck, emotional stability, that sort of thing.
These meanings remind me of the hydrangea flowers and how they could be suggesting amacha, a ritual bath for Buddhist statues. How megumi's drink in the culling games had that label.
