I've Been Given A Physical Copy Of The First Light Novel. Its Margins Are Wide. Ink Bleeds Not Through

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.

How old is that seance curse user we saw in Shibuya?

I never really thought about it but... Does she have potential to be Kenjaku old?

This post brought to you by... I had a dream where I met Gege and said "it's okay if you don't have an answer. I've been through jjk 12 times and cannot figure out how old she is." once again analyzing jjk in my sleep, coming up w things my conscious brain would not be thinking.

I've given her and the other old curse user in shibuya the least amount of thought bc they creep me out so bad. But now that I'm thinking about it...

The two of them show a duality of evil that really stems from disrespect of autonomy.

Her CT made it easy... But she also preyed on boys, kidnapping and grooming them as her "grandson". The one we see is not the first. So she has to be superhumanly old, right?

And old dude with the inverse CT - That really has no way to invade the autonomy of others. But he certainly thrives in doing it anyway, torturing people to death for no reason but "practice" bc his job is to kill people and he has to be good at it. As if all that was necessary. (this is, I think, the anime's most disturbing scene)

It's also interesting how Gojo's birth was blamed for cursed spirits becoming stronger, but these faces of evil has hidden away because of his presence. Like Satoru's life itself was a protective seal.

helpful? threat?

Ok new theory on the last dreamlike chapters bc I can't believe that they are not real - but like Kenjaku said, in the rift between dreams and reality, the cursed realm or whatever -

Yuuji's domain... I think it leaked out (even Yuuta had issues when the barrier broke after he hollow purpled the barrier on Gojo's domain, and he had training). This was Itadori's first time using domain expansion - and he has Sukuna's barrierless domain muscle memory.

Just like the way Sukuna appeared as Yujikuna or as his true form, Yuuji and Megumi's scars and fingers keep changing (I think it's based on the way they perceive each other).

I hope gege takes at least six months off to just rest and do whatever he wants to and recover.

And then I hope that he gets a jjk sequel or prequel series announced (that won't be censored)

But chapters come out once a month

ok guys this time Gojo will definitely come back I'm not delusional I swear guys pLEASE LISTEN TO ME GUYS-
