I can’t even be sad about the fact that Sukuna lost, because that shit is so dumb 💀 I was ready for his death or defeat, but this? Lmao I never seen more dumb ass anticlimactic writing, wtf was that 😭
Welp
I'm getting anxious now that I can sense Sukuna's death drawing near. I hope Gege gives him a decent death—one that is gentle, and not humiliating. (Even if he doesn't deserve it)
I hope he gets to meet Gojo one last time.
Imagine Satoru playfully mocking him for losing to Yuji, and Sukuna simply gives him that soft look (TM) while saying that the damage he dealt him is the only reason they were able to succeed asdfghkdfht
“Would you still love him if he was a worm” baby I just found out I still love him as a puddle
There's something really interesting about Sukuna dying as a pathetic lump of flesh, screaming on the ground, and both Kenjaku and Uraume going out with a smile after fighting & bonding with a sorcerer who represents modern jujutsu. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to develop this theme.
Sukuna proclaims he’s a curse no matter what because all of his life he was treated like one- even when he was a human so he embraced it.
I'm just gonna pretend this chapter doesn't exist agshshnn
Good things about Sukuna's conclusion:
- He went out holding onto his pride. He never let go of it and I believe that's fitting.
- He FINALLY acknowledged Yuuji!!!
Bad things:
- Rushed. Rushed and so rushed. He's the man who started it all so killing him 3 chapters before the conclusion just feels... wrong.
- "Sukuna, you are me." I'm sorry but Yuuji is his antithesis not... whatever this is.
- He's afraid of death?
- No backstory. Nothing.
Heyo, did you see chapter 268?
I did! I have some questions, like
Are the fingies still around? I thought the vessel had to die or they'd still be there, like Sukuna coughed one up a bit ago. But Yuuji and Nobara were doing things we hadn't seen before either so idk (but virtual mass couldn't take them out...? That's crazy).
But mostly - - what happened to Tengen?
The merger?
Gege filled like 2 predictions I had this chapter. Tbh I was expecting to see more from the fight with Sukuna (which is crazy bc I still have 30 chapters left to reread and it's frying my brain for the third time. Makes a lot of sense this time around, though.)
And I'm still dying to know what happens to Panda, after losing 2 of the 3 cores needed to become a stable autonomous cursed corpse. Is Panda okay on his own now? Is Gakuganji going to add a couple of souls' information?
Some part of me thinks that they're going to use Yuuji's domain to bring back Gojo. Idk though. At this point I might need to just write my own ending bc I can't let go of these ideas.
And what's up with Uraume? They seem so different now. I thought they didn't know how to live without someone else to serve, to tell them what to do. Maybe through some conversation with Hakari they had a lot of character growth, let go of their codependency, and their monk's robes. (Uraume is more chill about Sukuna's death than me, but I'm also in denial about death in general, you know (including ch 259 and JJK0)? Anything can still happen).
Anyway, Gojo's letters and Megumi's scars and Yuuji trying to hide Nobara in the box was so sweet. I'm glad the three of them are back together.
The harsh lack of mourning for Gojo and Sukuna and I general (how many people died in one day??) can only mean that it's not over... Right?
They're going to use Yuuji's cryogenic domain for Yuuta and Shoko to bring Gojo back, at least.
Or they're going to bring out the prison realm for time travel.
I don't know what's going on
megumi, chapter 268
Maybe now that Sukuna is a slime, Yuuji will live up to his words and actually accept him.
Gege and his parallels, not even slime is safe
Yuuji as a child tried to clean his slime that fell on the ground by washing it in a sink, and it slipped down the drain.
Yuuji as a teen trying to fix sukuna by inviting him back into a cage.
Neither was the right way to do it, and in the end he lost his slime :(
Tbh I don't get all the "first name basis, call him Megumi" posts bc Megumi doesn't like his first name. He prefers Fushiguro. He introduces himself by that only, like when Yuuji and Nobara used their full names, all he said was "Fushiguro". That name means nothing to him but resentment.
It's kind of in the same vein as Maki saying to not call her Zenin - which, weirdly, Megumi kept doing, despite having a similar issue with his own name. I guess this shows that he's a distant person, more comfortable with being yelled at than being on a first-name basis.
Anyway, "call him Yuuji" makes sense. But I think there are other, better ways for Yuuji to call Megumi by.
Though the meaning of his name feels more relevant than ever, especially with the split and Sukuna being like "I am a curse", it almost feels like he would start to go by Megumi at this point.
I don't think this was included in any of my ending predictions (bc it's less lore heavy) BUT since there are 3 chapters left, fuck it
Takaba comes back. Idk if he's actually dead or just thought that it would be funny to appear that way after his dream performance (the way he's dressed as he lays on the ground the last time we see him is associated with death or ghosts). But whether he's just laying there to process the memory or he's in his own version of an afterlife / airport scene (note they Nobara had one of those and she did die, technically, but she's back), I think his CT would still work.
Takaba thinks "hey, wouldn't it be funny if I go back to Shinjuku and everyone is getting along?"
Like he would be seeing streamers (it isn't a party without streamers) etc, I think.
Idk how strong the phenomena caused by his CT can last for, and I'm not confident on any details here.
I still think Yuuji's cryogenic domain could bring Gojo and Choso back, at least (I cannot believe anyone is dead, even Gojo might be fine as things are rn). I think Yuuta's been helping Yuuji to understand his domain and that's what they're going to do at the end of ch. 268. (I could be wrong but I'm so attached to this theory bc enough about it was confirmed ok).
I rly wanted to see Takaba vs Sukuna - so PLEASE gege give me that. Plssssss
Sukuna doesn't have nipples
So to give us Sukuna's milk
He had to become it :(
Guys... Was itafushi meant to parallel Kenjaku & Takaba?
I couldn't stop thinking about when Takaba said that he didn't want it (his dream performance) to end.
Was he really saying that he didn't want Kenjaku's life to end? It feels like the same energy as...
It's funny bc even w the soul resonance they had, Kenjaku has no fear for his life and replies like this.
And the mention of their fans knowing nothing about comedy... Yuuji knew nothing about jujutsu... (idk man)
And they both said the same thing?? Megumi's will to live had already...
And Takaba... I hope he's just playing dead I'm still mad we didn't get to see him vs sukuna
But in the end... They were grateful. And saying "you cracked me up" is also interesting bc Yuuji cracked Megumi and Sukuna apart.
Tell me you see this too I'm begging
I'm going to invest in building this itafushi playlist so hard
