Rabbit Escape - Tumblr Posts
Ughhhhh you guys I keep thinking about Megumi, the symbolism with the flowers and his shikigami and Yuuji, so here's my uh attempt at interpreting things
Today I read into the flower from ch. 265's use and story with the birth of a Buddha who sounds a lot like Megumi, but at times also Gojo. [link that post]
Anyway,
I've been gathering this theory on Yuuji's domain (elaborated here) - I thought there is significance in the snow and in Fushiguro's rabbits. (the difference is that at this point his domain feels more about escaping than about resurrection. I just remembered Itachi's Genjutsu that gave Kabuto a redemption arc. Getting distracted).
The amount of foreshadowing in JJK is so ogjsjxkckajdj [link to that post as well maybe?]
One of my favorite scenes was in Shibuya, where Yuuji is holding one of Megumi's rabbits and they both make the same face. It's so cute (but at this point I suspect it was a clue).
He's holding onto a way for Megumi to escape, but his domain might also be related to helping others to escape from samsara. [this post really got me thinking about Yuuji and Nirvana. It lives in my brain now].
When I read up on the festival with the flower bath, the description of the elephant sounded like Megumi's shikigami. (there's also the fact that it sprays water, and kinda resembles Yuuji as well).
I think that's all I had to say? Please god make this make sense.
Oh, there's also that Buddha who Yuuji represents (remember the statues w the red cloths at his grandfather's grave? Yeah, that was him too. The hand sign for his domain expansion, etc, I feel like we all know that by now (guardian of souls, purifying hell ((sukuna redemption arc maybe??)), leading others to enlightenment, before worrying about his own chance to become a Buddha).
Also!! The baby Buddha prince who resembles Megumi came out the womb and said that it was his last life, no rebirth - so if my cryogenic theory about Yuuji's domain holds weight, then it could just mean that Megumi won't need to be reborn because he isn't going to die in the first place.
Yuuji's domain felt like itafushi propaganda since the end of the Shibuya incident.
This post has aged well so far (ch. 267 is out now, only 4 remain)
But I noticed something else from those scenes in shibuya!
First, that Yuuji holds a rabbit as soon as they appear.
And the rabbits can keep appearing, after they've been taken out.
Second... The dogs? I forgot about that. And I can't say with certainty what they represent, but...
This page from the culling game arc reminded me of it.
(culling game foreshadowing & ending predictions will be their own post(s) because gege is driving me insane)
Sorry that the links have links, each post is quite short though, I'm just trying to stay organized without repeating myself every day.
In summary, Yuuji's domain was always itafushi propaganda, and the cryogenic sort of property feels even more foreshadowed now, so do with that what you will.
The fact that the rabbits can't truly be killed, and the white dog (who died in the detention center in season 1) appears there first. And then the black dog (who still lives, might have represented Kenjaku in this scene, but could also represent Megumi, in reference to Ch. 266)
