I am a FIRM believer that utahime vs Gojo would be basically sukuna vs Mahoraga and Gojo wouldn't be the sukuna of that fight.

the way jade is so wildly mischaracterized as codependent is so bad. she grew up alone for the majority of her childhood on an island with nobody else around. why is it so commonly decided that what she longs for is romance? we've seen her feelings for davesprite, sure, but her relationship with dave is incredibly similar to that of roxy and dirk's- roxy didn't know if she wanted to be him or be with him and jade had the same dilemma. why did she envy him, anyways? jade is the "loneliest girl in the world", she feels deeply misunderstood on this fundamental emotional level that she doesn't even know how to begin to tackle- so she sees dave, someone who was raised to fight as she was and she sees the facade he puts on of this strength and wants that for herself. she wishes that what she went through made her strong, having to stuff her own grandfather's corpse and train shooting the wild animals she adored from afar for this hypothetical "purpose". It didn't make her strong. It just made her feel more alone. what she doesn't know, though, is that dave feels the exact same way. dave's trauma didn't make him any stronger, either. they dealt with their anger in different ways and jade admired how dave never hurt anyone or lashed out like she did. she thought, "man, dave is such a good person, he doesn't hurt others when hes hurting. i want to be more like him." but didn't know that projecting all of your anger onto yourself through flimsy masks isn't healthy either! jade doesn't love dave in the way she thinks, she's envious. she wants to be him. but not the him that's just as "weak" as she is. i really do think that as davesprite and jade got closer on the ship and his mask started to crack jade was visibly less interested whether she knew it or not, and that's why davesprite started to distance himself. he knew she didn't actually want to know him, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to know her just yet either. to go through that. to know jade's struggles would be more of a reason to feel like shit about her death in his timeline. davesprite and jade have one thing in common: they didn't get the closure dave did. the realizations he had that what he went through was wrong. jade doesn't know how to interact with this new dave. he's mellowed out, it seems, and she's only gotten more and more angry over time. what closure did she get? bec combining with her? what if that's not what she wanted? dave had all this "liberty" to choose who he wanted to be but jade never had a chance to think about who she was because she was just becoming somebody because of the game and when it was over her purpose was gone. jade is so angry, so so angry that she doesn't even realize it, but what about when she's on earth c? do you really think that anger would manifest itself into codependency, or would she begin to feel what dave felt when he forced all of his emotions down? jade post-canon would revert to being the loneliest girl in the world but not in the way she was before. surrounded by people this time. forcing herself to put on a smile. but when she'd return "home" she'd stare at herself in the mirror, this new jade, with dark circles under her eyes. after scrubbing her face just a bit too long and a bit too hard she'd lay down and stare at her ceiling. unmoving. what purpose did she have anymore? usually these thoughts would spiral until she'd just turn over and try to stop thinking about it, but one night. just once, she'd get a concerned knock on her door from an old friend. dave strider wasn't here to save her from herself. he was here to tell her one thing and one thing only and that was just a concerned word from a friend, not a question; an answer, "this is gonna sound funny coming from me" he says with a dry laugh, "but im worried that you arent as ok as youre letting on. we all are."
and her world crumbles.
