Gege Is So Good At Destroying My Emotions But In The Most Meaningful Ways So I Have No Hard Feelings - Tumblr Posts

On one hand I am sad we didn't get to see baby sukuna.

I also feel stupid for thinking that Yuuji would ever listen to Sukuna - he ruined that chance at the end of ch. 265

But I think this was a rly good writing choice that gege made. Ch. 265 especially, but throughout the series as well, we see many faces of trauma in Sukuna's expression. He normally gets laughed off as being grumpy or dismissed as a heartless monster.

Not knowing Sukuna's past life details explicitly makes this even more realistic. He really reminds me of Laura Palmer (along with real life people who have cptsd from that kind of thing). The signs are there, the story is there, if you know how to listen. But almost everyone does not. They say they understand, but their impressions are all wrong or shallow at best.

My comparison with Laura Palmer is in this reblog - OP's post is long, but provides a lot of context for the child abuse we believe that Sukuna went through. Be mindful of the content warnings.

I made another short post about ch. 266 here, that's short and simple with images from the manga.

My prediction hope & dream for JJK 266

So far I've been correct on Yuuji's domain being one of non-violence, (although the details I have gathered have yet to be revealed unless this is enough evidence).

and that

Yuuji's talk-no jutsu would be ineffective, but he might be capable of a listen-no-jutsu.

Sukuna can't relate - it probably feels like Yuuji is just rambling about his childhood, showing off how peaceful and carefree it was. Yuuji enjoyed shoveling snow (interesting how much snow came up, since this is important to my theory on Yuuji's domain. I guess it is still December 24th, isn't it? That's crazy. It's been at least 30 chapters by now).

Anyway, they're still in Yuuji's domain. I really, really hope that we get to see Sukuna's childhood next chapter. No one is aware of Sukuna's past, of why he became the monster (I believe it's a desperate grasp for his own autonomy).

Idk whether Gege will give us redemption but I still believe it could bring Choso, Gojo, etc. back.

Yuuji admit to not understanding his own domain, and I think it would be rly cool if Sukuna helps him to develop it. Maybe Sukuna could learn the value of life and connection, since Yuuji has this ability to reach people.

The thing with Choso is that he's like ash, but we don't know the size of Yuuji's domain - Sukuna's lacks a barrier, so I half expect Yuuji to be capable of that as well. Either way, I think his domain could cover the area where Choso's remains were scattered. He and Sukuna have this insane RCT ability, and domains get a can't-miss effect.

I really wanted to see Sukuna vs. the merger, maybe teamed up with the other sorcerers, but at this point I think that between Sukuna's destruction and Yuuji's reconciliation, they might be two halves of a whole that can redeem Japan from the chaos Kenjaku has caused with his merger.

Idk the details these are just thoughts I've gathered since yesterday.

Also we got to see baby Yuuji, show me baby Sukuna 😤 and how he met Uraume and also give me details on Tengen, I want confirmed lore so help me Gege.

If this upset you, then pls:

Listen I love Yuuji, and Megumi, almost everyone tbh (Mei and Mahito and Haruta, idc about u at all) but I also have Strong thoughts & feelings (especially) about Sukuna and I take his pain more personally. I know what I say is often unconventional and polarizing. I'm not saying this is canon, I'm saying that I have a hyperfixation and need to release these thoughts on my own blog. I don't want to start fights, I just like to see different interpretations and share my own. Frankly Yuuji was my first favorite character and I could never hate him. I just spend less time breaking down his perspective lately bc everyone else got that covered.
