Just When I Was Daydreaming About Sukuna And Gojo Going To The Same Destination After Death I Got Hit

Just when I was daydreaming about Sukuna and Gojo going to the same destination after death I got hit with this:

They're literally pole opposites...

Volume 26 is called "Go South".

I can imagine when Sukuna dies that volume would be called "Go North".

It's soooo over 💔

Sukuna was cursed and hated when he was born. He grew up to be a broken-down villain;

Satoru was praised and adored when he was born. He grew up to be a broken-down hero.

I can’t breathe guys

incredibly incredibly incredibly madness-inducing thing (for me): sukuna turning his palm upwards and putting his fingers on gojo's belly, tips gently pushing into the soft flesh, while he's inches away from satoru's face, eyes hooded and lips turned into a devilish grin, but with a desire that colors his cheeks and blows his eyes into stars. and satoru looking up at him, giddy, big blue eyes, and lips pushed up into a curve, except his grin wobbles so prettily at the edges, and a nervous chuckle blows past his lips, an edge of tension that lines his brows yet an arousal that has him quaking with anticipation

I keep seeing people comparing that scene where Nanami sees Haibara BEFORE he dies and him thinking his final moments weren't so bad to Gojo seeing geto (and everyone) AFTER he died as if they're the same thing...

Like sorry but the thing that made Satoru smile before death was Sukuna telling him that he was magnificent and that he won't forget him for as long as he lives😭😭

Yeah this is your man he wanted to be acknowledged by the king of curses yeah he's a freak just accept it.

Sukuna is Peak Gap Moe. I’ll never be over this. This bastard talks tough, eats people, and kills like a woodchipper and yet…he is a poetic little sap. Getting mad over an improper haikus, the misidentification of flowers…and confessing his feelings to Gojo Satoru under several layers of wordplay no one except those well-versed in ancient Japanese would catch.

I've been over this in greater detail in Sukuna's Negative Rizz, but @tangsakura added more context in the replies to that post, making Sukuna's use of 凡夫 (bonpu) for Gojo even gayer.

In summary, 凡夫 (bonpu) can be translated as painfully ordinary or unenlightened. But in the individual kanji readings, 凡 is mediocre and 夫 is husband. You could read this as Sukuna calling Gojo his mediocre husband. And that's just the modern readings! The ancient readings...

So you can read this line from Sukuna as the following:

“You were born in an era without me and hailed as 'The Strongest'

1) And yet you turned out to be…painfully ordinary.”

2) And yet you turned out to be…unenlightened.”

3) And yet you turned out to be…a mediocre husband/wife/spouse.”

4) And yet you turned out to be…the ordinary one who could stand by my side.”

Sukuna seems to be saying these things all at once. (It’s no different than the Megumi Activities wordplay he uses with Enchain.) Gojo apparently makes him feel very conflicted. He’s boring, he can do better, he shouldn’t even call himself the Honored One, he’s his equal, they’re married. The irony here is that no one except Sukuna can understand this.
