I couldn't have said it better😔

As someone who loves sukuna very dearly, it saddens me to see people failing to recognise why it was important for him to go in an “ugly” “abhorrent” way. Sukuna’s character doesn’t exist to defy the fundamental facts and beliefs of the verse. In fact he exists to confirm each and every single one of it. Curses are inherently evil by origin. Curses are ugly and despicable. Curses are born out of negativity and hatred, through and through it has been proven that something of an evil origin cannot strive to be appealing. Choso could be considered an exception but his origin too is evil, and later transcends into something different as he strives to achieve, even unintentionally, something close to humanness. Sukuna never confirms to the narrative. He is, in his own unique way, isolated from everyone including the narrative itself. His existence is rooted in evil because that is who he is meant to be, a curse. It’s not something pitiful to him because his parameters for judgement aren’t evil and moral, but rather strength and resilience. Which is why he honours gojo, even in death, because of his strength. You cannot find human-ness in a character who is so deeply rooted to his origin as a curse that he finds pride in it. If you delve deeper into his existence, his entire being is reduced to a title alone, we no longer know what his name was his existence is confined to start and end as a curse, he is isolated from everyone in the verse even the narrative itself. In the relations chart the relation between sukuna and gojo is defined as “you cleared my skies,” and he feels so because it is no one but gojo, who is also a product of isolation, who truly parallels him in strength and prowess alone. Sukuna is a measure for strength throughout the story, for jogo, for kashimo, for gojo, his entire being is constructed around the idea of survival and strength, he fights because thats what he is meant to do. His battles lack objective because he only strives to win, purpose holds no meaning. Him fighting the entire verse was not to carry out an objective but rather an act of survival. He fights because if he doesn’t, he won’t survive, and even if he survives there won’t be any meaning to it, so he fights for the sake of fighting alone. Through snippets of Sukuna at the point of his origin allow us to see how the only life he has known has been one of a curse, inherently evil, abhorrent and putrid. So for him to go out in an “ugly” way, reduced to something despicable is only fitting because his shame lies not in ugliness, but rather in defeat. Pan to when he told yorozu she could do whatever she wanted with his body as it would mean he had lost. He takes shame in losing not in “ugliness” so for him to go out the way he did was an act of unity with his origin. He is a curse, despite his sheer strength he is meant to be, ugly, at his core.

I truly dislike the ending in every way possible, his death was made meaningless and lacked substance, but i’m not mad about him going out in an “ugly” way rather im mad about him going out in such a shallow way with no substance whatsoever. You deserved better my king

So, the interview was fake? Or did Gege loves to troll us?

NOBARA NATION, WE'RE UP!!!

You're telling me gojo was hiding Sukuna's finger all this time ajdjskksksk

OH MY GODDD

WHATTT DO YOU MEAANNNN THE END?¿¿¿??

Sukuna going after Yuuji this chapter especially reminds me of that video where

Someone had adopted a bird who was abused in his previous home, so the dude's crushing the cage they had there under his feet while the bird curses and cheers him on.

I'm not saying that Yuuji deserves to die, but that Sukuna doesn't respect him as a sorcerer because Yuuji is first and foremost a cage to Sukuna, and I'm not sure if he'd be able to see past that.

Also bc of the way that Yuuji only tried to find humanity in Sukuna in ch. 265, briefly, but immediately ignored sukuna and called him annoying and only tried to communicate with him to demand help, all while sympathizing with school shooters (like the time he called Sukuna out to save Junpei). Bro has so much to say to Sukuna but it doesn't land bc he never listened enough to know anything about him.

This aged well

EXCHANGE EVENT foreshadowing [manga spoiler warning further down, anime onlies ur safe for now] there are probably a million more that I didn't save, but at some point it just feels trivial and endless.

the shibuya arc:

Gojo got locked out of the barrier, everyone else could go in // Gojo getting sealed in the prison realm

Mahito gathering objects from the cursed warehouse for kenjaku // Mahito evolving into his final form, for kenjaku to absorb

Gojo walking over the ants but not crushing them bc infinity // walking over people in the station. You could even say Gakuganji telling Yaga to do something about Gojo // criminalizing any attempt to free him from the prison realm

Todo coming for Yuuji, then taking his side, getting false memories, calling him brother // same thing with Choso.

That was such a big clue he was working w Mahito tbh, BUT in the exchange event and shibuya arc, Mechamaru fell apart and had to be replaced with a machine. It was still helpful, but had to be utilized by the other sorcerers.

Nobara got hit the same way when she got the concussion, and Nishimiya's speech about having a scarred face is one of many reasons why I believe Nobara to still be alive.

Maki took Miwa's katana // Miwa lost her ability to weild one by the pact she made against Kenjaku.

Megumi summoning a shikigami that he could only use once

Even their injuries were very similar (though not everyone's), I see it most in Fushiguro and in the blood on Yuuji's face where he gets scars later, Panda's cores, and ofc Mechamaru.

things that happen after the shibuya arc (spoilers ahead if u don't read the manga)

After the veil went down, Gojo split the earth (hollow purple Hanami) // after the prison realm opened, Gojo caused a fucking earthquake

Noritoshi Kamo striking out bc he never swings the bat, he just stands there talking to Yuuji and doesn't even wear a helmet, though his head is covered in bandages // Noritoshi not getting involved against Sukuna, planning to flee with his family, but staying to teach Yuuji about blood manipulation CT.

Possibly a reach but Maki let Megumi use playful cloud // Toji took it from Maki

Also Maki losing her glasses against Hanami // no longer needing them

!! What if (regarding the dreamlike last chapters)

Yk how Yuuji wasn't allowed to know the plan bc what if through resonance Sukuna would learn of it?

I think its more likely for Megumi to experience that - especially after Nobara struck the last finger.

It would explain Megumi's laughter at Gojo's letter

And Yuuji's reaction to seeing Hiromi

Bc Sukuna can share awareness around his cursed objects (if they aren't sealed, afaik). And by the end, Megumi was no longer just dissociating in his innate domain. It's likely for him to know what Sukuna knows.

Which is how I was justifying the news about Toji etc (but just that, Sukuna learned about it during Gojo's afterlife scene- however)

It makes sense that conversations are being had around Sukuna's last finger. Buuutt I rly thought it was foreshadowed that in the end, Gojo becomes Sukuna's vessel (idk man, at this point I feel a lil insecure about that) - BUT if Megumi picks up on that resonance, on the fact that Gojo is actually very alive (I feel like he would want to preserve the last artifact, at least. I can't be convinced that he did try to hollow purple the fingies in the first place (though sukuna or Kenjaku may have placed a vow on them for protection) bc not even Satoru Gojo was aware of Kenjaku or his plan to manipulate a vessel into eating them).

And so, Sukuna's last finger is aware of Hiromi living, which makes Megumi know this, and Yuuji has that uncertain reaction. Like, I didn't put this here. (idk man idk what's going on).

Whether they're dying or fine, it seems like Megumi is going along with Yuuji's dream, subconsciously adding world-building elements to it himself - like how during kenjaku and Takaba's fight, there was soul resonance between them, yet they were still able to surprise each other.

Hell, maybe sukuna got to the airport as Gojo was leaving and decided to eat the last finger (it doesn't sound like any of them are in Sukuna's remains, considering how they turned like ash). The fact that Sukuna got no afterlife scene is suspicious - though I'm not sure whether he gets one at all, if any of his fingers are still out there.

I wonder if the absence / appearance of Yuuji's fingers, Megumi's scar, is based on how they view one another and themselves.

Yuuji's domain seemed to have that effect on sukuna - whether he appeared as Yuuji's doppelganger or in his own form.

NOBARA NATION, WE'RE UP!!!

SHE’S BACK

Like for real?

yeah we are all happy for nobara's return and probably megumi's but that just makes the theory of yuji dying on the battlefield surrounded by his loved ones a theory that might become true. killing nobara just after her return would be pointless and killing megumi when his whole journey was to learn how to live doesn't make any sense. there's so many pieces of media where a character's death was predicted from the very start, they were doomed since the beginning and the only way to finish the story and save everyone is with their death. we are closer to the 'yuji will die but the rest will survive' theory and I'm not okay.

Gege is so good at showing different expressions when the characters body switch bc you just tell who is in who’s body—

NOBARA NATION, WE'RE UP!!!
