i don’t do back to back posting as often as i do but since jjk’s final chapter is leaking tonight (EST so around 11PM), i decided to share the art i drew as a thank you. this series (despite its unforgiving nature at times), has given me ideas for drawings and motivation to create, it’s also something that managed to become a major hyperfixation of mine. thank you gege for jjk, im glad you shared this story with all of us. <3

“i’m feeling criminal when i did nothing wrong.”

Gojo Satoru

I once said that he doesn't prioritise personal connection, but it's more nuanced than that, so very badly worded from my part.

Gojo very much understood personal connections and relationships.

Gojo however loves being the strongest, he loves his strength, revels in it infact and wouldn't give up on it for anything, even if it caused him loneliness and that's why his dehumanisation comes from HIMSELF too. He is fine being a tool and being lonely if it means he can have his strength. Yes, his mindset is fucked up, that's the point.

That's why I never subscribed to all the "bring back nerfed" theories because chapter 236 made it ever clear.

Sukuna calls him (and kashimo) greedy, because unlike sukuna who thinks "love" is worthless, gojo very much wants both connections AND strength.

It wasn't that people were not reaching out to him, it's just that, he wouldn't stoop to their level, he wanted them to become stronger so that they can become as strong as him, so no one is lonely, so that strength doesn't isolate them like it did with him.

He pushes away people while at the same time craves attachment and understanding, but since he would NEVER give up on his strength, that results into largening the gap/distance even more. He causes his own misery and is ready to live with it.

The recent chapter was pretty much very consistent with his portrayal, he fully committed to his role by becoming the monster he was stopping himself from being all these year, for his students. Even in this chapter yuta very much reached out to him, in a way gojo couldn't to geto during that kfc meet, but it's gojo who again decided that it's his burden to bear alone. His was being reached out, it's HIM who didn't close the gap.

People are not ok with him just being treated like a tool and just being seen for his strength, but my point is, when has he ever had any identity beyond being "The strongest," not to imply he doesn’t have any other identity at all, but everyone always prioritized his identity as the strongest, EVEN he himself.

That's the reason why he loved his youth so much and considered it the best time of his life, because then, he had BOTH, strength and a equal buddy (geto), that's why that friendship lasted such huge impact on him. (Also imma just say here, people both underestimate and overestimate his relationship with geto, it's very funny to watch)

People were complaining about characters seeing him as a tool, but they were quite unironically doing the very same thing. Putting him on pedestal, using him to continue being in series for their own happiness and enjoyment of the series, not respecting his wishes from chapter 236, and treating him the same way characters within the story do with him.

Also, you can dislike the way he was treated, that's precisely the point, but don't go around claiming the gege assassinated his own writing because your dislike ≠ bad writing. People are using morality of their real life within a story where everything is being questioned, the so called "good guys" of the story keep repeating that they are not heros, most of them are murderers themselves.

The curses are showing humanity, everything related to normal human morality is being questioned.

So the "he would be happy powerless" doesn't work because thats what YOUR morality tells you (its fine to feel that way), but he most likely wouldn't be happy with it, he isn't a real person either lol. Dude has nasty aspects to him, it’s one of them, they add more to his character, he is selfish (and selfless too), and let him be like that.

In the very end, Gojo very much managed to raise a bunch of students who will carry his will, he is alive in them.

Peace out ✌️

Pretty much my rant after this chapter because of the discourse going around is creating wayyy too many misinterpretations. Also I don't care what you think of the series as long as you just stop forcing your beliefs on others and saying its bad writing, when it's not. I don't think a character can exist outside of the narrative or story he was created in, gojo is amazing because of jujutsu kaisen story, outside of it, who is he?

I'm guilty of both, I fear.

gojo 🙁🙁

As we should. I was so mad this bitch got #5 in the popularity poll. Hell, I’d rather MAHITO be #5 than him.

Ngl, seeing Maki haters/Toji stans bitch how Maki is a bad character or that she's only a "Toji copy" is the funniest shit ever. Y'know why? Because they literally got slandered by Gege as a character.

That's right. This motherfucker. He quite literally is what those Maki haters are- or what he symbolizes. And it's funny how they always bitch about Maki or that she's just a "copy" when...look at Naoya. Look how he ended up. Look at how stupid he was portrayed. Look how she DOMINATED him. Look how dumb he looked narrative wise.

Also...when do parallels mean a bad character or a "copy?" What cause Maki's a girl? That's stupid. If she were a copy she wouldn't have been created by Gege before Toji in JJK 0. Or have her dynamic with Yuta, or those moments of her struggling to accept affection, or have all that development, or her dynamic with Mai, or her symbolism.

Conclusion: Naoya and toxic Toji stans are mainly wannabe sigma toxic male 14 year old boys who can't even get a snickers from their mommy lmao. They're also the fans who were LITERALLY slandered by Gege in the form of a character.

hes silly asf ngl

Those poor MAPPA animators aren't gonna see their family for weeks once they get to this last arc. Ik those mfs are gonna want that Hakari vs Uraume shit in full Disney movie ass animation level quality.

He looks so disgusted PLS 😭

Sukuna got killed by a lesbian, a pansexual, and a Meghan Thee Stallion fan lmfaooo rip bozo L + ratio + you fell off + negative rizz

GEGE!! REDRAW THIS WITH THEIR NEW BATTLE SCARS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

I expect Mappa to animate an OP with at least 3/4ths of the homosexual behavior displayed in Ao no Sumika when they get to this arc

Aight I have a lot of feelings about this chapter but for now I want to dwell on this.

In the beginning of this story we are told by Yuki's Grandpa the importance of dying a proper death and it's shown throughout the course of the story that that idea has basically stuck with Yuji more than anything.

And in the end of the story we see Yuji, scarred and wounded Yuji, go to Sukuna as he's left a useless heap of flesh on the ground screaming in anger at his death, his improper death, and Yuji just.....

"Are you Satoru Gojo because you're the strongest or are you the strongest because you're Satoru Gojo?"

It doesn't matter. He was Satoru Gojo and that was more than enough.

Bro has no idea how much he saved everyone's ass that day.

Gege when I catch you Gege (positive)

Interesting how on Twitter I keep seeing people bitching about XYZ not happening before jjk ends but on here it's just like "Sick, I hope the villain keeps losing to gay people."

Heian Era sorcerers in the afterlife watching the man who brutally destroyed their homes and families get taken down by a fifteen year old Meghan Thee Stallion stan

shaking crying sobbing vomiting convulsing twitching aching shrieking screaming howling hollering wailing weeping-

Genuinely ong what the fuck is Gege's beef with happiness???

Mom come get me off this ride I'm not having fun anymore.

Love

Vulnerability

Blind love

Love is blind

Justice is blind

Love is not Justice and v.v.

(Justice and Love are two sides of the same coin but this is a conversation for another day)

-

Justice is impartial

"Lady Justice wears a blindfold to represent impartial justice and everyday people close their eyes to shield themselves from reality"

-

Gojo is not Justice

Gojo is Jusitce

Gojo is not impartial- he uses a blindfold to create a physical barrier between himself and others.

Gojo wears a blindfold to keep his memory of Geto in

Gojo wears a blindfold like a mask; a personally built facade to keep others out

Gojo harbours immense and infinite cursed energy

Gojo harbors immense and infinite love

Gojo's birth caused a boom in cursed energy/spirits to appear

Geto was born to mitigate (swallow) all of it

Geto was born to cancel out the effects of Gojo's birth

Geton was born to accept Gojo's love

-

Gojo's immense and infinite love/cursed energy was meant for someone who is no longer with us;

He uses it sparringly

Basically never•

Few and far between•

Taking off the blindfold means to be vulnerable

Gojo has his blindfold off when he runs into Kenjaku (in his pov, it was Geto)

Gojo is vulnerable around Geto.

-

Vulnerability is a weakness

-

'Curses that work together in groups are weak'

Groups are weak

To Sukuna, Yuji making friends practically wherever he goes is a sign of weakness

But Yuji is strong

He subdues Sukuna for the greater part of the entire story

-

Yuji and his friends are strong together

There is strength in numbers

-

It's lonely at the top

It's lonely being the strongest

-

Love means to be vulnerable and compromise strength in lieu of compassion and connection

Sukuna tries to 'connect' but is pushed away when his methods don't work

Sukuna uses extreme violence to play with and 'connect' to others

Most individuals don't want to connect that way

Sukuna doesn't use Yuji's methids of connection because that goes against everything he stands for

-

Love is the worst curse of them all

-

Who will teach Sukuna love?

Sukuna does not need to be taught love;

He has no use for it

___ will teach ___ (Sukuna) love

Sukuna is the strongest sorcerer in history

Sukuna is the King if Curses

Sukuna is the King of Love

-

Sacrifices

-

In order to make one, you need to sacrifice something

How much has Sukuna sacrificed to become the strongest?

-

Binding Vows

-

Love means to make sacrifieces

Love means to make sacrifices

Love means to be vulnerable

Gojo sacrificed Geto (and his love) for the greater good (and for other obvious reason)

Gojo loved Geto

Gojo cannot stand out when paired with Geto

-

Hidden Inventory Arc (anime) - Gojo's eyes seem duller and less illustrious than usual,

-

Gojo stands out when Geto is not around

Gojo is The Strongest

The Strongest isn't vulnerable

Gojo is vulnerable with Geto

-

Sukuna believes vulnerablility is weak

Yuji wears his heart on his sleeve

-

Gojo closed his heart.away after Geto died

Gojo never puts down infinity again (with minor exceptions)

Gojo wears a blindfold to keep others out

Taking off the blindfold means to be vulnerable

-

Vulnerability is a weakness

-

*The suffix -utl, "Something and nothing at once, polar opposites existing simultaneously."*

Love-utl

-

Sukuna does not love

Sukuna hates Yuji

Gojo can love, chooses not to

-

Love is sacrifice

Sukuna doesn't love anyone but himself

Sukuna rejected and sacrificed his previous (human) identity for his cursed one

Sukuna loves himself

Gojo loves loved Geto

Goji is immensely fond of others (his students/close friends)

Yuji loves (pretty much) everyone

-

Gojo/Sukuna/Yuji is the strongest

-

1. Love is sacrifice

- Gojo sacrificed Geto; his love

- Sukuna sacrificed everything else; his humanity

- Yuji sacrificed his previous peaceful life so he could save more people in his sorcerer life

2. Love is vulnerability

- Gojo swore to never be vulnerable again; his love came back to bite him again in his adult years and he payed the price for it; love is weakness

- Sukuna is not vulnerable; it is a weakness; the weak should die

- Yuji is vulnerable with his friends and is always ready to use his compassion for the best outcome; Yuji is open with his companions

3. Love is the worst curse of them all

- Love took the only person that could accept him; Gojo rarely uses love anymore

- Sukuna is the King of Curses, therefore the King of Love by proxy; Sukuna hates love; doesn't need to be taught it; Sukuna hates Yuji

- Yuji harbors the King of Curses

- Yuji defeated the King of Love

-

Love is the worst curse of them all

-

Love is not a curse

Love is strength

There is strength in numbers

Groups- together, connection, vulnerability, sacrifice- are strength

Yuji is/has all of these

Yuji is strong

Yuji defeated the King of Curses

Yuji harbors immense love

Sukuna hates love

Sukuna hates Yuji

Love is the worst curse of them all

Yuji is the worst curse of them all

Yuji is strong

Love is strength

Love is vulnerable

Yuji is both,

Love-utl,

Yuji is love

Yuji is The Strongest

*Please see (Tess of the Road, Rachel Hartman)

•"Basically never - few and far between":

I was making a reference to Gojo's infinity, how no one could ever get close to him. Fitting, no?

Guys I just got sad while reading the JJK Manga (🏴‍☠️)

CULLING GAME ARC SPOILERS

REFERENCE TO THE ANIME

So remember in the beginning? In episode 2 I think when Gojo met Yuji and asked what happened to Sukuna's finger?

And then

Yuji: "uHm-...😅😅😅 i eated it"

Gojo:...

Gojo: For real?

Yuji n Megs: For real

SO NOW THAT IM READING THE CULLING GAMES ONCE THEY FIND HAKARI

Yuji/Meg's: *explain the situation and about how Gojo Sensei got sealed*

Hakari:....

Hakari: FOR REAL?

AND LIKE

!!??!??

I WANNA CRY BECAUSE THE PARALLELS

Jesus I hate Gege because he made my babies depressed and dead but I ALSO LOVE GEGE because how do you think to parallel those 2???

Intentionally or otherwise

Ugh.

transmasc aroace sukuna

Transmasc aroace Sukuna who doesn't need to be taught about love.

He knows what love is; it just doesn't serve him to to him, "Love is meaningless."

also I think that this can be doubled down with my headcanon that before he was a curse; he literally wasn't loved by anyone.

born in a world that wasn't ready to accept him and wouldn't love him anyways because he killed his mother with his birth

Transmasc Sukuna who gave himself the perfect body which coincidentally is the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery, he doesn't have to think about himself from before he was turned into a curse because now he's The Strongest Sorcerer (in History)

Transmasc Sukuna who decorates his body with thick black tattoos that many people find scary and taboo but he sees it as more of a 'fuck you' to tradition*

*(the people who killed him/the higher ups/the conservative fossils who couldn't find it in their hearts to even TRY to love him even if it would still be meaningless to him)

Transmasc aroace Sukuna who has kept one person with him throughout all the thousand years he's been a cursed object: Uraume

I believe since it hasn't, and it's not going to be explained in the manga/anime:

Uraume is his non-binary, aroace follower.

He keeps them around for a few reasons

1. Cooking: his favorite hobby is eating. It's good to have a personal chef on your side.

2. To do the tedious menial tasks that come with causing chaos everywhere. Not sure what they are specifically but I know they're there.

3. Uraume helps keep pests at bay. Telling them to fuck off and out of Sukuna's personal space when he feels the itch to get rid of an annoying eyesore.

4. Back-up fighter: self-explanatory

*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*":*"

Let me cook (get me outta the Malevolent kitchen please)

aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna aroace sukuna Guys this is the culmination of a bunch of headcanons running amuck in my brain and also the character analysis' from @thepersonperson

So now, here are my hc's for AroAce!Sukuna:

Legitimately prefers to not be touched and appreciates respect for personal space (round of applause for Uraume*)

Hobbies,:

1. Fighting - self explanatory: he hates being bored, he also uses fighting as a way to bond and learn about others

2. Eating - confirmed in the official fanbook(iirc): it doesn't matter if it's people or Oreos, he enjoys food

3. Analysing literature/opponents fighting habits - It's explained better and in more detail by @thepersonperson, but the main take-away is that Sukuna is like a shark; using exploratory 'bites' in order to gain knowledge about things- his opponents. He uses used dismantle to take apart, to dissect his opponents, to learn how they'll react and if they can match his freak, so to speak.

3.5. Going back to the literature point - seeing as in history, the Heian era is considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court, it's noted for it's refinement in art, poetry and literature.

He gets annoyed, disgusted, bored, and all of the above when someone hits on him, seeks him out romantically or tries to use/touch him physically.

See: Yorozu when she's withing a 1 mile radius of Sukuna, Mahito after touching his soul, Kenjaku's weird obsession with him that led to him jumping his twins bones for some reason

Again, as dutifully (<3) explained by the aforementioned Tumblr User, Sukuna expressed affection through violence. This is the only way he is able to connect with anyone he seems worth his time to fight.

Being a curse that is legitimately perfect when it comes to CE and CTs, he reaches out from the top to grasp some sort of worthy interaction:

an entire half year of prep to fight Gojo,

'playing' with Jogo and making an effort to fight with him on his terms,

finding interest and potential in Megumi,

a yap fest of unwarranted appraisal to Maki

and he was basically all grins and smiles when he fought each of these sorcerers.

*Star next to Uraume because I hc that they're Ace-spec as well.

Cuz who else is better at telling people you don't want to be bothered, touched or talked to other than you fanatic worshipper who understands your boundaries clear and concisely?

Tirade over, I'm going to sleep.
