Helpful? Threat?

helpful? threat?

Ok new theory on the last dreamlike chapters bc I can't believe that they are not real - but like Kenjaku said, in the rift between dreams and reality, the cursed realm or whatever -

Yuuji's domain... I think it leaked out (even Yuuta had issues when the barrier broke after he hollow purpled the barrier on Gojo's domain, and he had training). This was Itadori's first time using domain expansion - and he has Sukuna's barrierless domain muscle memory.

Just like the way Sukuna appeared as Yujikuna or as his true form, Yuuji and Megumi's scars and fingers keep changing (I think it's based on the way they perceive each other).

One page into the first light novel and I have to look up 10 things (bc I need to find the clues gege is hiding lmao) but

I'm going to do more research on Masakado because he sounds a lot like Sukuna, and reminds me of reading about an irl shrine that is likely for him (I cannot remember the name of it though).

Update: light novel meta analysis gets its own blog, @hermit-reads

Ok so we get itafushi, we get miwamaru, etc. in this page. It seems to be telling of relationships.

And Ui Ui / Mei Mei...

Ui Ui's arm - it looks like he's trying to break away from someone. Higuruma? Is Ui Ui... Struggling w the complicated messy feelings that arise when you begin to accept that you've been abused, but it's so hard when you've been groomed for so long and you don't want to face that reality?

Mei is on the opposite side of the page. She and her brother could not be further apart. Her eyes are closed, and she's smiling the way she does when exploiting people for money. Maybe her subscription service ambition was given to Mei as a distraction - to focus on that instead of exploiting her brother.

Maybe we didn't need Geto to come back to life and kill her - I really overlooked Hiromi and his sense of justice, haven't I? Mei probably thinks that she can get out of any scandal, as long as she has money. She isn't facing anyone, and no one is looking at her. Shoko is looking up at nothing, pretending she isn't there.

It looks like Hiromi's also facing Gakuganji - he's keeping watch over jujutsu headquarters and the victims. I love him so much. Looking back now, Hiromi rly is the next generation Geto - protecting the innocent without discriminating. Oh, you're in a position of power to exploit the weak? He'll kill you anyway. Good luck.

Also shokohime seems like.... There? Shoko's looking off in the distance like she's happy, waiting and giving privacy. She's facing Utahime, whose arm is reached out toward Shoko and to her student that she has to worry about first.

Idk what's up with Ino, or if Inumaki is looking at the reader.

And who are the two people in the back, that you can't rly see? Thought one was Todo but he's already on there. (edit: my friend says one is Hajime Kashimo, & they're right. I guess the other is Haibara, or maybe the sugar CT guy... Oh god is the jacket most like Junpei's?) Though it could just mean there are more strong and intelligent allies than we know.

Here's my reaction to the end of the manga btw (forgot this page was part of 271 smh)

Something else important about ch269 is that: everyone affected has a chance to speak their truth. Vent. Apologise. Offer forgiveness. Express regret. Share whatever it is on their mind or weighing on their hearts.

In modern terms, it’s called a “debrief”.

It helps reduce the impact of psychological and emotional trauma, through improving not only the communication and understanding between people, but also the underlying feeling of connectedness to one another.

This, promoting: Unity, cohesion, belonging.

Things the older generation didn’t have.

They didn’t even clean up the blood of Riko and Geto on the floor, ffs. They had over 10 years to do it.

Although the cycle of sorcery & curses may continue, the world is different because the young people who were fostered by the old generation are different. Blood sweat and tears, right? Gojo & Geto’s shared dream is coming true.

All the old folks who had their own interests at heart are now gone, people like Kusakabe who also prioritise the youth are at the helm of the ship.

There is hope...

I hope gege takes at least six months off to just rest and do whatever he wants to and recover.

And then I hope that he gets a jjk sequel or prequel series announced (that won't be censored)

But chapters come out once a month
