I'm Taking This Up With Gege - Tumblr Posts

What was gege thinking when he started this ? “The hoes gon love this” WE DO BUT WE’RE BAWLING OUR EYES OUT??

me: i'm gonna put my jjk brainrot aside for a bit so i can concentrate on other stuff

the jjk brainrot: what if everything ends with Megumi having to kill Yuuji with that ultimate technique he has that would kill him as well-- that the entirety of jjk is building up to the one thing that should have happened in episode 1.

only that instead of Megumi blindly giving up his life, he has learned to value his own life as much as other's do - and he is willing to sacrifice the future he now wishes for himself in order to end Sukuna. that instead of Yuuji having doubts and regrets over everything he once deemed his fault, he finds solace in the experiences he has made - the friends he earned, the people he saved, even if he failed to save everyone in the past.

jjk has repeating themes and story cycles of the value of life and being alone in death. so the ultimate tragedy of these themes would be having to die after you recognize the value of your own life - that you deserve happiness even if you have made grave mistakes. but also the bitter-sweetness of being at peace knowing you will die together with the person you cherish more than anything. and that through your shared sacrifice, banishing the king of curses once and for all, you two are able to give everyone else a chance at happiness and a future of their own.
