Culling Game Foreshadowing - Part 3/?
Culling game foreshadowing - part 3/?
Yuuta & Uro, Hakari vs. The manga artist
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 4
Spoilers up to Ch. 266, foreshadowed up to Ch. 183
Yuuta recognizes that he has something Uro wasn't privileged to experience. That he doesn't have words that could have reached her. Much like Yuuji's failed talk-no jutsu (why do these guys think they can mansplain compassion, when if they would listen they could better understand and better talk to their opponent...)
I want to believe the first bit is a hint that there will be a prequel or sequel series announcement.
The tiger here always seemed like a reference to the tiger of west middle (Yuuji), but I didnt get it at the time and moved on. Now, it seems to be about Sukuna struggling to fight Yuuji, due to the love that he showed Megumi in ch. 266.
Anyway, this chapter seems to be much about what goes on in Yuuji's domain during Ch. 265/266
The next 2 pages sound like passing time in your innate domain.
The first page here - Megumi's despair. Even before losing Tsumiki, he was so filled with angst during this arc. Losing motivation as a reader... Megumi used to read a lot (I think he stores books with his technique), but it can also mean that he's lost interest in observing and affecting reality. It's already been taken over by Jujutsu, and he's had enough.
The second page - - this is about Yuuji in ch. 265. Taking Sukuna on a walk to ramble about his (very happy, very unrelatable) childhood. And then turning suddenly against him with a death threat, when he was ready to speak vulnerably... Aren't stories for communication about understanding? It felt as out of place as using a pen as a weapon.
His vessel is already broken (Sukuna is losing control bc Yuuji connected with Megumi). He's also very emotional at this point.
Then Hakari opens his domain, but Yuuji's childhood also feels like a garbage infodump. It's also interesting that a train appeared in both of them, and not for any violent purpose.

Culling game foreshadowing - part 4
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
This looks similar to the flowers from ch. 265? For context...
Noritoshi is wondering whether his mom actually hates him, feeling like no one needs him. Why did she name him Noritoshi Kamo? Pronounced the same as the most evil sorcerer in history (actually, it was Kenjaku)?
Couldn't fit in this post, but Megumi's drink seems relevant to the flowers.
Then we get to see her side of things. This already seemed like it was about Megumi and Yuuji...
And immediately after, it cuts to Angel / Hana speaking to Megumi, who was asleep for days. He doesn't respond to her, only Yuuji.
Gege I see what you're doing.
And didn't part 1 of this series mention destiny to Megumi? Why are they all saying that.
Then Takaba shows up, and I hope this happens too.
Words aren't the answer, killing is healing, on God this is about Sukugo and Gojo will return to teach Sukuna about love.
Is that Geto?
Is this about the systems failing justice, so Maki and Geto and Higuruma take it onto their own hands? Is Maki going to kill Mei Mei (who I assume they were just talking about)?
I don't rly know what's going on here I'm just throwing noodles at the wall to see if they're cooked.
Yuuta shifted his domain's location, instead of being over an ocean, it was where sorcerers could lurk and Maki could attack Sukuna.
Not a spoiler -- Based on this jujutsu kaisen prediction.
The forehead mark smudged :(
My current favorite cosplay though. We've done Choso, Gojo, YujiKuna, and Judgeman so far. I think that's all of them.
Jjk props so far have mostly been plushies, but also Sukuna's fingers.
besides JJK, what other anime do you like?
Tldr; mostly horror I guess?
I'll try anything if I like the art style, the aesthetic experience comes first but I love when they get deep and throw my heart against the wall lmao (banana fish looked like a fun gay background show. It was not. I got so obsessed and heartbroken there).
Lately I've had jujutsu kaisen, Kagewani, and Another on repeat. So much that I put myself in time out from crunchyroll
Kagewani - one that I swear inspired jjk (I thought it was a background show until looking up and realizing the main character is basically an X-Files au Suguru Geto} . it's like yamishibai /yamizukan style, but each episode is part of the same story.
Another (it's so beautiful? The colors?) One of the main characters reminds me of Mimiko. It's also fun because you have to figure out who is a ghost, or whether the haunting is even true at all. Rly hope that I'll find more similar to this one, it makes me want to go to art school or something.
In the past, i'd wait for a series to be complete before getting invested, but broke that resolve last year (the art style was too good, as soon as a friend told me to watch jjk I gave up on waiting).
So my favorites with only one season out currently are apothecary diaries (tbh tried it for Kaiji Tang but it's so good??), and vampire dormitory (it's so funny and queer and idk I like to balance between the sweet and stressful. The English dub is so good, sometimes I'd get impatient and watch subbed but it was less funny).
I've also been rly into Naruto, Dr. Stone, Junji Ito collection, and mushi-shi, if that sets a general vibe?
These are all anime I'd mention when giving or asking for recs.
