Bruh I Kept Saying That Based On The Hydrangea Appearances And Their Connection To The Amacha Bath, That

Bruh I kept saying that based on the hydrangea appearances and their connection to the amacha bath, that Yuuji would basically be giving Megumi a baptism...

So how did I miss sukuna saying that Yuuji's CT breathed life into him??

Oh, and...

It seems I have been in denial.

Uraume rly just turned to dust bc sukuna disappeared.

Hello everyone I may have found more itafushi propaganda.

So in ch. 266, Fushiguro and Yuuji have that heart to heart conversation about life, dreams and suffering.

And ducks get a weird amount of screen time. That has to mean something, yeah?

They even come out of the manga panels - which I've grown to believe means that they feel like something inevitable, that will reach you (based on Mahito and Sukuna's hands, I think it's a design choice to illicit emotion in the reader).

So I looked up Japanese symbolism for ducks...

Transformation. Purification. Metamorphosis. Marital happiness. Nurturing and bonding. Good luck, emotional stability, that sort of thing.

These meanings remind me of the hydrangea flowers and how they could be suggesting amacha, a ritual bath for Buddhist statues. How megumi's drink in the culling games had that label.

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

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...
