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.

So help me, there WAS foreshadowing in the culling game.....

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.

I've said before that Sukuna might have chosen to undergo self-mummification to keep Kenjaku out of his skull (among other reasons that aren't relevant here)

But anyway, Wasuke had seen that Kaori was dead, and then she was there but not right... He told Jin to stay away from that woman, or he'd die.

I want to know what he knows!!

Culling game foreshadowing - part 2 (Yuuta, Uro & that other guy)

Part 1 - Part 3 - Part 4

(some confirmed, more prediction this time. posting as if ch. 267)

Yuuta still not being used to Gojo's lanky body. (I believe he's getting his own body back, just like here).

Uro feels a lot like Sukuna. Sukuna telling Gojo "you jujutsu sorcerers are always a pain in the ass, in any era!" in ep 1 sounds a lot like "you fujiwawara are always in my way!" they've been separate, scapegoats, etc. Everything she says is worth reading this way. Other people have made great analysis on her past and reflection of Sukuna, so I'll move on.

Gojo might return, with Rika. I think this is the only time we see Yuuta do the hair shikigami thing (it's cool they have to do it again that's my logic) but seriously, the way that Yuuta's body has the ring, Rika, and shoes on again... What else could that mean?

I'm not sure what the flowers above Rika mean, but I'm going to guess it's about being reunited (I'm not good at plant ID, pls comment if you have ideas on this. I'm just including it bc it feels meaningful).

They create a three-way domain expansion with that cannon hair dude.

He feels very much like a pretas - which is interesting, since I've been hesitating to post about Sukuna and Gojo being in the hungry ghost realm. The way that they long for connection and always seem to be hungry, but are never satisfied. And the way this dude wasn't missing anything in his past life, he has no regrets but still wanted something more. Going on about "never had dessert", and that Yuuta is his dessert, so he can die full. And the look in his eyes made Yuuta emotional? Weird. (this was foretelling the sukugo fight I swear).

Back to the three-way domain expansion...

It looks like they're still in Yuuji's domain, the unexpected intruder might be Nobara to match the cockroach spirit (who had died as a player but lived on as a curse)... I'm not sure how that would affect the domain, but as of rn Sukuna's been using hollow wicker basket. (I assumed she would return with some awakening like Gojo's, with new abilities, but we haven't seen this yet).

I wonder if we'll see an actual three-way domain expansion, or if this will translate into a similar contest between Sukuna, Megumi and Tengen (because they're all in the same body right now. Also makes me think of the autonomous cursed corpse needing 3 cores, 3 souls to constantly observe each other).

Megumi ate Sukuna, and Sukuna ate Tengen...

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.
