When Kenjaku said "... thank you for being nice to my son", I bet Sasaki, for a split second, was like '"who"?

the chapter where kenjaku confirmed they were yuujis parent, reintroduced yuujis old friends, and had the “space between dreams and reality is a curse” line was iconic

#not even including how good kenjaku looked and megumi and yuujis argument to protect each other #the dreams and reality quote paired with the panels of kenjaku walking with the girl were incredible #kenjaku #jjk spoilers #jjk 160 #how did that chapter drop over a year ago

Culling Game arc re-read.

Chapter 160: Colony: Alam al-Mithal + Yes please handle Kashimo + Gege reminding us Sukuna is up to no good (and we weren't listening) + cranky Megumi + failed expectations meet existentialism

Inspired by @blog-of-hubris' idea, I'm doing a re-read of the Culling Game arc. I think I'm both looking for clues, foreshadowing, a deeper understanding, but mostly I'm curious about how my expectations held up against what actually took place.

Warning for spoilers up to chapter 200+ under the cut.

Alam al-Mithal

So I, of course, start with the obvious: majinai, the cursed realm that exists between dream and reality.

I guess that when the term was first introduced, I didn't think of Alam al-Mithal, which is the "realm" of images and imagination that exists outside of space-time as we know it.

I hadn't thought of it before, but it's interesting that Gege is introducing the audience to the Culling Game colonies by means of majinai.

(Source)

Given everything we see inside the colonies is one hell of an Existential Fest, I'm wondering about the relationship between majinai, the purpose of the barriers in the colonies, and the whole cursed energy and forcing Tengen to evolve plot line... something like that.

Maybe I should've started my re-read with Tengen's exposition dump on the culling game but I wasn't feeling it.

Anyone want to speculate about this or provide more context?

Anyways... Alam al-Mithal is an Islamic concept that I find fascinating and beyond comprehension at the moment. But exploring this little rabbit hole made me realize that we are basically witnessing Gege writing about universal truths.

While majinai is a Japanese concept, the fact that something similar exists in Islamic philosophy is the stuff of braingasms and exactly the whole point of Jung's theory of the Collective Unconscious.

All of this to say: I'm still wondering if Gege is going to do more with majinai. Like, does it have a bigger role to play or did he just name drop because he thought it was a cool concept to use? I'm hoping for the latter 💀.

By the way... these spreads?

Beautiful work. Just beautiful.

Yes please! Handle Kashimo!

Still my favorite battle in the CG.

Gege reminding us Sukuna is up to no good (and we weren't listening)

🤡.

In retrospect... who was being self-centered after all?

Cranky Megumi

Anyways, I've always loved how mean Megumi can be and how that's one of his love languages. I also like to think he was never going to come out and straight out say it, but I get the sense Megumi needed and wanted Yuji at his side inside the colony.

Thing is... as the deadline for Tsumiki's participation in the Culling Game approaches, you can see Megumi growing increasingly anxious.

Which is a lot to say for a character like him who wears a poker face at all times.

Failed expectations meet existentialism

Here we go!

Given the Shibuya incident, I remember totally expecting a blood bath out of the Culling Game. Most ESPECIALLY given the ominous aura created by the characters.

Little did we know we were in for an existential treat, and I have to say I like what became of the CG arc better than my expectations for it.

Sorry for if it's a silly question, but is Kenjaku really dead "just like that", because of Yuuta? I just saw the list of JJK characters' status in twitter (is it fake list)?

Also, in what specific moments from JJK, that made you sure that Kenjaku is special, that made them your favorite character?

Hard to say at this point, but Geto's body at least seems to be dead. Kenjaku is still being chatty (not even death can shut them up), but they are described as being on the "brink of death" and the will being passed on sounds a lot like Kenjaku's plan/ambitions will survive, but not them. They are doing something though in the last panel we got of them, something very strenuous. Could be that they will let the curses inside Geto's body free (first and foremost Tengen) or activating their innate CT to somehow switch to a new vessel. The thing is just, any attempt of theirs to fight back, activate their CT to escape etc. could easily be intercepted by Yuuta. He just needs to stomp on their brain and that's it. So the chances of Kenjaku surviving this are very slim although not impossible. And I'm actually more anxious about them surviving because there's a lot you could mess up there and make this even worse. I'm pretty much at peace with Kenjaku's death now, but if they survive through bullshit or we get some character (development) assassination I don't know how to handle that.

Chapter 160 made them my favourite character because it confirmed that they are Yuuji's parent and also care about him to some degree. It's a really interesting protagonist-antagonist dynamic I rarely see in this way. Let's hope something actually comes of it... But either way, the start of the start of the Culling Game made me pretty much fall in love with them because we see so much more of their personality besides Scheming Villain. Their obsession with Tengen, their banter with Uraume, the snarky remarks in general, just all those little moments that show how human they are despite their age and being merely a brain made me love them.

Kenjaku's Deeper Character (Upto 239)

Kenjaku is JJK's resident little freak. There's actually no proof that Kenjaku had an original body and wasn't always a brain. Ain't that weird. But this is a post about Kenjaku and his creations. Because the way he acts towards them is strange and consistently inconsistent. While Kenjaku has always fucked around, His fight against Choso feels especially unusual. He claims he's holding back because "Choso is weak" but I don't think thats accurate.

He IS holding back. But he's also not trying to kill Choso outright.

If he had really wanted to kill Choso he could've done it at any of these situations because he had him pinned several times. As much as Kenjaku yaps about how his creations are all disappointing, He seems hesitant to finish them off himself. Remember this is the man who was willing to hit Miwa with a fucking Uzumaki

He does not regard weak people at ALL, He will just try to eviscerate them if they get in his way. Again in 239 we see it twice with similar circumstance to the Choso fight.

When he wants to kill someone he doesn't play around, Sure he talks shit but he goes in for the kill right away. Even just using cursed spirits he can easily dispatch Grade One and Semi-Grade One sorcerers with relative ease. So then why didn't he do the same thing to Choso? He didn't destroy the rest of Curse Womb Brothers either despite being fully capable of doing so. He kept them around so he could throw Eso and Kechizu at a problem. He had them die in a way completely disconnected to himself. Again later in the very same fight he has Choso pinned with Gravity, If he wanted to kill him he could've easily done so right now while the technique was up. 6 seconds is more than enough to act.

Yet he didn't even go after Choso. You could argue he was too busy dealing with Yuki, But at his moment he had the full opportunity to kill Choso. Geruda was indisposed and Yuki could not approach.

Back in Shibuya when Choso attacks Kenjaku, He doesn't fight back AT ALL. He just blocks. This would've been another chance for him to kill Choso had he really wanted to. Chapter 160, Culling games start. We get these panels.

He had zero reason to say this. Sasaki does not know he's Yuji's father. In fact nobody except those at Shibuya should. So what was the point of him saying this? The fact of the matter is, Kenjaku has grown attached. Yuji's well being and a happiness shouldn't matter to him if Yuji really is just a vessel. There's something more going on. Conclusion; Kenjaku is a terrible fucking parent in every sense of the word. But no matter how much he says he's detached from his offspring and doesn't care about them because 'they're failures', His actions tell a completely opposite story. He doesn't have the guts to kill his own kids. Either because he genuinely feels parental instincts or because he values his own work. I don't know how much more information we'll get about Kenjaku in 240+ but I suspect it'll continue to align with this pattern.

Like Father, Like Son (Kenjaku x Yuuji Itadori)

Contains: non explicit incest, immobilization, heavy spoilers for the jjk manga, Kenjaku-typical manipulation, the dreamscape from chapter 160 broke my brain and I needed to do something with it.

Hey <3 this idea has been popping around my head like a sad little ping pong ball for weeks now. I've wanted to write it but have been a little too nervous out of potential reaction to the content. I've scaled it back though, maybe at some point I will expand on the idea. Hopefully this finds an audience as I haven't seen much for it outside of Japanese artists on pixiv. Reblog or reply with any feedback, Thank you!

Yuuji Itadori wasn’t always a nervous boy, but after the events of Shibuya he tried to stay alert at all times. It had only been a few days since… everything happened. They had all lost and learned so much, finally coming up with some semblance of a plan, something to hope for.

Entering the culling games, though it seems Yuuji didn’t have a choice. They had come to the conclusion that several of them entering a colony would be the best course of action. Through all the planning however, Yuuji’s main focus was on making sure he didn’t let Sukuna take over his body. The stress of keeping him under control was mounting inside the boy, but his resolve was much stronger.

With their plan set, Yuuji and Megumi lay on the semi soft floor mats in the underground wrestling building Hakari had set up. Kirara had offered them a place to sleep in one of the observation rooms so they could be rested before venturing into the colony. They had no idea what to expect and it would be foolish of them to not be prepared mentally and physically.

However, sleep had been another thing keeping Yuuji on his toes. Ever since his fight with Yuuta he’d been having strange dreams that he could barely remember. The worst part was how important the dreams felt, like if he could just remember them clearly somehow they would help. It was starting to get to him, the way he’d rather always be on watch than actually resting.

With a plan as important as this, he had resigned himself to attempting to get sleep.

Yuuji lay flat on his back, staring up at the ceiling above him. He could hear the sound of Megumi breathing a few feet away. At least one of them was able to get some rest. Any sound other than that would cut like a knife through the silence that surrounded him and wake him up. He could be ready if he needed to be.

Closing his eyes he waited, eventually sleep overtaking his body.

If a sound in the silence had lulled him to sleep, perhaps the eerie silence returning had woke him up. It wasn’t something he had expected. While Yuuji tried to open his eyes, he found himself paralyzed. His limbs were too heavy to move and even his eyes disobeyed him, refusing to open. Fear sunk deep into his bones, even if this was just a dream, it was still a nightmarish scenario.

As he struggled internally for the ability to move, a soft sound broke through the silence. The pitch was wrong, deeper, but the humming of a familiar lullaby surrounded him. The familiarity shocked him, bringing him back to his infancy whenever he was being lulled to sleep as a baby. The memory rushing back to him, it was as if he were back there, in his mother’s arms.

Any dream he’d had of her though, was always slightly out of focus, like some kind of distorted photograph. He had been a baby though, just how reliable were the things he’d seen then?

“Good morning Yuuji,” a voice, the humming voice spoke. It was again familiar, frustratingly so, but definitely one that didn’t belong in this room.

Finally Yuuji’s eyes blinked open, expecting some odd dreamscape, but his eyes met the simple ceiling that he’d fallen asleep staring at. Turning his head, he was met with another shock, Megumi was gone. Frantically looking around the room, his eyes finally rested on the figure sitting on the floor right above his head.

The last person he had expected or wanted to see.

Kenjaku sat cross legged only a few inches above his head. The serene smile on the man's face was very out of place, Yuuji’s mind racing at how he could have gotten in here.

Again Yuuji tried to move his body, but his limbs were still stuck at his sides. A feeling of fear washed over him, the odds of this being a dream were still high, but somehow that still frightened him. This was unlike anything he had been dreaming, at least from the dreams he could remember. The frustrating feeling of his arms not moving was causing more panic to rise inside him.

“What’s going on?” Yuuji asked, his obviously panicked voice cracking as he spoke. He felt so confused and powerless, though asking seemed nonsensical, it was the only thing he could do. Yuuji was just relieved he could use his voice.

Kenjaku just smiled down at him, a hand falling to rest atop his forehead before sliding back and carding through his hair. The gesture itself would have been comforting had it come from anywhere else, anyone else.

“Shh no reason to panic, I’m not here to hurt you. I just wanted to spend some time with you and talk for a little, is that so wrong?” Kenjaku asked, tone making it seem like he was doing something completely normal. The obviously comforting gesture and words missed their mark.

Something about the way he spoke made Yuuji’s stomach turn. Anxiety mounted inside him as he looked up at Kenjaku. Panic was something he felt was very warranted, the strangeness of the situation was so unnerving. He’d only ever known Kenjaku as a monster, why would his mind conjure something like this?

“Where’s Fushiguro?” Yuuji asked. He was worried, their surroundings felt too real for this to be a dream, and if it were real, Megumi had to be somewhere.

Kenjaku’s eyebrows rose briefly before his face returned to the gentle gaze that burned into Yuuji. He hadn’t fully expected that to be something Yuuji would focus on, though after everything he’d heard about the boy, he supposed he shouldn’t have been surprised.

It wasn’t that Megumi couldn’t handle himself, Yuuji knew he was more than capable in a fight. It was more that Yuuji couldn’t stand the thought of losing someone else. He needed, beyond his own safety, for Megumi to be okay.

Kenjaku chuckled to himself, hands stilling in Yuuji’s hair. He didn’t need the boy to understand the real reason he was here, this was more for his entertainment than anything else. It seemed Yuuji had taken much more from his father than he’d realized, the look of confusion on his face looked so familiar. His hands resumed their pseudo-comforting gesture in Yuuji’s hair.

“So worried about your friends, what a kind young man you’re growing into. Like I said, there is no reason to worry, Megumi Fushiguro is still sleeping and so are you,” Kenjaku’s soft voice soothed Yuuji’s worries as he spoke.

Somehow Yuuji could feel himself believing Kenjaku’s words, an implicit and unexplained trust filling him. There was no part of his rational mind that would have trusted a word Kenjaku said to him, but this was no rational situation. Despite all the signs that something was horribly wrong, Yuuji could feel more comfort blossoming inside him.

Part of Yuuji’s mind latched onto an odd thing Kenjaku had said: they were both asleep? So if they were asleep and this was a dream, could this be Yuuji's way of expressing his anxiety? Regardless of the cause, knowing Megumi was safe and that this wasn’t real did make him feel a little better.

That is, if he trusted Kenjaku.

The nails lightly brushing against his scalp felt good now too, Yuuji was beginning to notice. Their light touch gave him something to focus on other than the absurdity of the situation. He could see himself easily drifting off to sleep again if Kenjaku would only start humming again. Even without it, he felt his eyes drooping as he accepted the attention.

“What do you remember from your childhood Yuuji?” Kenjaku’s question surprised him, his eyes snapping open again. Despite the ever strange atmosphere, there was nothing but curiosity in Kenjaku’s voice.

Looking up through the darkness, it was kind of difficult to fully makeout Kenjaku’s features. THe others were unsettled by his appearance because he looked like someone they knew, someone Gojo knew. Yuuji had never met Geto Suguru though, he had only known Kenjaku to look this way. Maybe that’s why he felt less afraid. Even with the lack of recognition, Yuuji still felt some unexplainable pull to the man. The way shadows danced across his face in the dim light of the room almost made him forget the question asked of him.

“I was…a strong kid. Spent a lot of time with my grandfather,” Yuuji answered hesitantly, unsure of what to say. He had no reason to lie, even if this wasn’t a dream. Despite his honesty he still didn’t want to say too much, but Yuuji reasoned that talking about family was harmless.

The question was strange though. As far as Yuuji knew his parentage and youth had little merit in anything in this world. He wasn’t raised with Jujutsu like Megumi had been, he was just a normal person.

Or maybe this was just his mind's way of calming him down and forcing him to think of happier times. Times where the world wasn’t hanging on his choices.

As he fought within himself ,Yuuji could feel Kenjaku’s fingers slip further into his hair. The slow moving touch now caressing his neck with every brush through his hair. The touch made him shiver, bringing more strange feelings into his body to rest alongside even stranger form of relaxation.

“Wasuke was an interesting man, I’m not surprised you’ve turned out so much like your father under his care. Do you remember your father much?” Kenjaku spoke nonchalantly as he guided the conversation with ease as if he’d always spoken to Yuuji like this.

Everytime Yuuji started to relax further, Kenjaku would say something that made the anxiety fill him again. Why would Kenjaku, some strange sorcerer with evil plans, be on a first name basis with his grandfather?

Something felt even more wrong now than it had when he had awoken. The confusion made Yuuji’s head hurt as he tried to wrap his head around. What could have brought this on? As Yuuji’s mind scrambled to make sense of the strange questions, the hands in his hair stilled again.

“Am I making you nervous? I’m sorry Yuuji, that was never my intention. I just wanted to get to know you more, to learn about you from the source and not someone else,” the apologetic tone in Kenjaku’s voice felt genuine. It was like he actually wanted to offer even more comfort to Yuuji, as if he truly hadn’t intended to alarm the boy.

Or perhaps Kenjaku was trying to manipulate him.

Before Yuuji could process anything else he felt Kenjaku move. His arms went under Yuuji and wrapped around his shoulders, then he sat back up, bringing Yuuji up with him. Kenjaku effortlessly pulled him onto his lap. The strong, fast motion had placed Yuuji’s head on his chest with his arms wrapped tightly around the boy’s midsection.

There was nothing Yuuji could do as he still felt his limbs paralyzed at his side. For a dream he could feel a surprising amount of warmth radiating from Kenjaku. Like everything else from the man tonight, it was almost comforting and if it didn’t feel so wrong it probably would have been.

He felt Kenjaku’s legs come to rest under his own thighs, cradling his body like a mother holding a distraught child. Like a mother cradling her son's corpse.

Long strands of black hair tickled at Yuuji’s cheeks, the change in position only allowing him to look forward or up at the crook of Kenjaku’s neck. The man wasn’t looking at him, but staring off somewhere else.

Due to the angle, Yuuji couldn’t quite see that Kenjaku’s eyes were shut tightly as if trying to remember something important.

“Why are you doing this?” Though he was still immobile, Yuuji was barely able to force the question out. He desperately needed answers.

None of this made sense to him, regardless of whether it was a dream, reality, or something he had no concept of. The panic in his voice was more confusion than anything else. Though it was hard for him to sound panicked when he felt the deceptively comforting arms holding him so tightly. The firm embrace seemed to knock something loose in his mind, a set of strange memories drifting to the forefront of his mind.

No, not memories, the thoughts flooding into Yuuji’s mind were too incoherent to be considered a full memory. Flashes, tiny glimpses of the past filled his mind. His childhood and his infancy. A face he could barely recognize as his grandfather never kept pictures around. The haze in his mind that surrounded his early years parted for the briefest moment, allowing him to glimpse a stitched ring around the forehead of his mother as she held him.

The connection of these two people made Yuuji feel sick. If he hadn’t been dreaming he was sure he would have vomited. He couldn’t believe it, there had to be something else to explain it, perhaps a product of his own anxiety ridden brain mixing up two things he didn’t understand. Kenjaku and his mother couldn’t be the same person, could they?

“It isn’t often that I think about my past Yuuji, but I am human, it’s normal to think about. You’re helping me with that because you just look so much like your father,” Kenjaku said, every word pilling the confusion onto the boy in his lap. His words all but confirmed the conclusion Yuuji had come to in his mind.

Yuuji tried to move again, attempting to thrash around in the man’s hold, but once again it was futile. He wanted to run far away from the situation or go back to staring up athe ceiling with Megumi. Anything was preferable to this.

Despair filled his veins alongside the confusion and horror. He was helpless in this moment, at the mercy of his mother, the monster he’d been fighting. It seemed he just had to wait this out, but Yuuji wasn’t sure how much more of this his mind could take.

Yuuji hoped Megumi would wake him soon.

Keeping one arm wrapped tightly around Yuuji’s torso, Kenjaku slid a hand up to hold Yuuji’s chin. He turned the boy’s face so they were face to face. The look of fear more evident in his eyes than when they’d first met in Shibuya.

Looking down and meeting eyes, Kenjaku felt something odd inside of himself. While he was proud of Yuuji’s growth, as he mentioned that wasn’t the only thing that drew him to the boy. The soft hair and fear in his eyes reminded Kenjaku of Jin, Yuuji’s father.

While the man had just been a part of his plan, being able to play house with a little family for a bit had been enjoyable. Kenjaku never had any ill will to the man and had even allowed him a merciful death. It’s been quite some time since someone had been so delusionally in love with him.

“He was a good man, very kind not unlike yourself. Unfortunately love blinded him to the reality of his wife’s death, allowing me to take over. Unlike his wife, I was actually able to give him a son,” Kenjaku spoke proudly, as if he had truly done something special. Yuuji wanted to focus on the information about his father, but couldn’t separate it from everything else he was hearing.

Yuuji had expected more taunting, not reassurance that his father was a good man. He was very curious and a part of him wanted to ask more questions as his grandfather never had answers. This wasn’t right, seeking answers from a nightmare would only bring him more despair, and that was something he’d had enough of. He didn’t even know if this was true, it couldn’t be! It was too absurd, Yuuji reminded himself that this just had to be a figment of his stress ridden mind.

“You look so frightened still, maybe I can comfort you the same way I did your father,” Kenjaku’s words turn to a whisper as he studied Yuuji’s face more. He’d been too busy with the abrupt commencement of his plans that he hadn’t had time for himself. The guise of comfort that he offered had nothing to do with the boy’s comfort though, it was purely for Kenjaku’s entertainment.

Times like these Kenjaku almost wished he could have kept Jin Itadori around as some type of pet. Maybe he wouldn’t feel the urge to cradle his own son like this.

It was close enough though, this would have to do. Nothing had stopped Kenjaku from pursuing his wants before, why stop now?

Tilting his own head down Kenjaku moved, pressing his lips to Yuuji’s. The boy’s still lips were soft and warm as he pressed gentle kisses to them.

Kenjaku kept his eyes open, staring into Yuuji’s. He could see how distraught Yuuji was, the fear and panic evident in his eyes. It almost reminded him of Jin’s reaction to the first time they met after he had taken over Kaori’s body. The excitement of seeing someone so distraught at his will pushed Kenjaku forward.

Yuuji was frozen, even if he could move his body he was sure he wouldn’t be able to. All of his thoughts had stopped with the soft press of lips to his own. He was overwhelmed, everything that had happened combining together to leave him feeling void of anything other than panic.

Keeping his eyes open allowed Yuuji to look into Kenjaku’s as well, and it was a sight he would be able to forget. THe manic glee made his stomach drop, he needed to get out of here.

Kenjaku relished in Yuuji’s unmoving lips, snaking his tongue into Yuuji’s mouth. He could almost taste the dear on the boy’s tongue. This was exactly what he wanted.

Sliding his hand down to grip at Yuuji’s hip, Kenjaku pressed their bodies closer together. The heat from Yuuji’s body put him in a trance, he wanted to spoil him with his own essence.

The grip of the hand on Yuuji’s face tightened, forcing his mouth open. Kenjaku’s onesided kiss filled his mouth and caused a heat to course through his body. Even before finding out about Kenjaku’s identity this was something he never would have imagined. The feeling of Kenjaku’s tongue in his mouth pulled a strained moan from his throat, the sound muffled by their kiss.

“Itadori are you okay? Wake up already,” a voice called out from Yuuji’s side. Kenjaku didn’t react, hand still exploring his body and lips still insistently moving against his own. Maybe he couldn’t hear it, Yuuji wondered.

Trying to focus on the voice calling his name, Yuuji’s eyes snapped open, he hadn’t realized they were closed.

Frantically looking around he saw Megumi kneeling next to him. Only just now did Yuuji notice that he was still laying flat on his back and not cradled in the lap of…someone? The vague memory of the person in his dream made him nervous. His body felt warm, like there was a heat inside him he hadn’t experienced before. Accompanied by a throbbing headache, Yuuji couldn’t quite place why he was so relieved to see Megumi.

“You were making noises in your sleep again,” Megumi said matter of factly. It was apparently he was concerned, just refusing to show it. “Was it another nightmare?”

Yuuji pondered the question momentarily. This hadn’t been like the nightmares he’d had after Shibuya, he woke up in a cold sweat from those. Something strange had happened tonight but he had no placement for it. The memory of what had happened slipped right out of his minds eye.

“I don’t know, I feel like I might have actually had a good dream for once,” Yuuji wiped his eyes as he spoke. Looking around he could see that it was still dark in their room, maybe they would be able to get some more sleep. For some reason he had the feeling that there was something he should have remembered from his dream.

Megumi nodded, moving back to his own blanket on the floor.

“Well keep it to yourself, we need to actually get rest and I can’t with you just moaning over there,” Megumi muttered before covering himself up with a blanket and turning away from Yuuji. It wasn’t too long before he fell back asleep.

Yuuji laid back on his back, eyes fixed on the ceiling above him. For some reason he felt less anxious about the day ahead of them. Despite not being able to remember the dream, it had to have been pleasant with how good he felt. He hoped that he could finish whatever relaxing dream he was having as he closed his eyes and waited for sleep once again.

Manga With Me: JJK Pocket Theory Edition

Sukuna's Poison

⚠️ Spoiler Warning: includes plot points through chapter 160

I kind of touched on this here but it deserves to be repeated because it's definitely right. What if our MC has a hidden ability working for him aside from his super strength, combat prowess and inexplicable ability to create multiple black flashes? Sure, Sukuna and his illustrious fingers are an insane stats boost to anyone who ingests them but what if that's not all Yuji's getting?

At the start of it all, before Yuji was ever initiated into the jujutsu world, he was objectively a superhuman. We see this in his strength throwing the shot-put, his speed running to the hospital, and his ability to scale the school when Megumi was in danger. All before he even thought to ingest the first finger. This is likely what makes him an ideal host for taming Sukuna in the first place as he's able to maintain his humanity after the first two fingers with little issue.

We naturally assumed Yuji's parents were sorcerers, given his unnatural strength and their mysterious absence. We now know that Kenjaku!Kaori was a large part of what makes Yuji so special though there's likely more to Jin's background. When Yuji's grandfather tried to clarify, Yuji shut him down brusquely so we're left to wonder. Suffice it to say, Kenjaku forged Yuji to be a vessel.

Of course, our resident sunshine boy would be host to the merciless King of Curses, constantly at odds; however, this situation comes with its own boost to Yuji's stats as well. Being able to see curses, cultivate and utilize jujutsu in tandem with his natural physical prowess.. but I think there's another benefit that's been slowly exposed to the reader.

We see it first when Megumi, bent on executing Yuji in line with jujutsu law, ultimately advocates for Gojo to find a way to save him when the dust settles. Yuji's earnest bravery and good-hearted nature could warm the chill on anyone's heart but this quick 180 still seems a bit out of character. Yes, Megumi saves who he wants to save, that's his code, but what exactly prompted him to want to save Yuji. Especially since we see that, even after Yuji enrolls in Jujutsu High, Megumi still very much keeps him cautiously at arms length.

Aoi Todo has an extreme bloodlust that is rivaled only by his delusions of grandeur about Nobuko Takada. We see this fanaticism manifested as Takada-chan's an integral part of Todo's combat decision making. So, when his fight with Yuji goes from murderous intent to besto-friendo, the reader chalks this up to Todo being an odd-ball. His resolve to fight Yuji breaks and he uses this as an opportunity to temper Yuji's training. Eventually and rapidly, their relationship evolves into brotherhood complete with Todo envisioning fond memories of them in middle school together. In light of the demonstration of his imagination as it pertained to Takada-chan, this just seems like Todo being Todo but, notably, Yuji also falls headfirst into this brotherly delusion only to later recant that he wasn't fully himself in the heat of battle.

The pièce de résistance in this theory is in Choso's near fatal battle with Yuji. Hell bent on seeking revenge against his brothers' murderer, we see Choso's bloodlust dissipate as he realizes he and Yuji's relation by way of Kenjaku!Noritoshi and Kenjaku!Kaori. The realization in itself isn't odd in the sense that la sangre llama or blood calls to blood and his blood manipulation technique allows him to sense his connection to any of his siblings. What's interesting is the how as depicted in the photo above. Specifically that a memory was born inside his brain. Even as it's happening, Choso questions how, that it's impossible. Despite this awareness, this immediately quells his bloodlust and ultimately turns him into Yuji's ally, willing to put himself in danger to protect his little brother.

In my opinion, this is a pretty elegant but easy-to-miss escalation which feels on brand. Thus far, Akutami hasn't introduced even the most minute of details that weren't ultimately integral or reincorporated back into the story so far. For this theory, we have Megumi, no hallucination illustrated but a clear source of interest for Sukuna > Todo, the beginning of an elaborate ideation of his relationship with Yuji which could be mistaken for a nuance of his personality > Choso with an involved memory linking their kinship at the time of Yuji's almost demise and a neon sign of cognisance where Choso, overcome with the obvious dissonance is just like HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?

What if this is a defense mechanism of Sukuna's that is being emitted by Yuji? Sukuna is known for deadly poisons so suppose he is able to release a pheromone-like toxin that endears Yuji to murderous threats? Yuji could be completely unaware though potentially affected as we saw with his disorientation after the joint training event ended and Todo was still a clingy menace. It's not far out of the realm of possibility as we saw that

Hanemi has a similar defense mechanism which employed flowers to distract and pacify Gojo and Yuji when they encountered Jogo.

Haruta Shigemo's technique is one that expends stored miracles whenever their life is in danger to bypass threats

Obviously, Sukuna, strong as he may be, doesn't need allies but what if this is being employed specifically in line with Uraume and Sukuna's end goal (whatever that may be). I'm not convinced Sukuna is as down for Kenjaku as Kenjaku's long scheme suggests especially after chapter 187's reveal (which I won't get into). But suppose he's endearing Yuji to the stepping stones that will unite him back with Uraume? The common thread here, aside from his piqued curiosity about Megumi, is that Todo (by way of Yuki Tsukumo) and Choso have direct links back to Kenjaku!Geto and Uraume by extension.

When I spoke of Yuki previously, I question who she truly serves. She and Kenjaku don't completely see eye to eye in that she wants to break away from curses where Kenjaku wishes to explore the limits of them further. Prior to Kenjaku!Geto incarnating, she'd been scouting and recruiting but to what end, I'm not sure. She offers a third alternative to the established status quo and we still don't know much about her technique or strength aside from being a Special Grade and willing to work with whomever most suits her needs (not unlike Mei Mei). I have no doubt she'll be a force to be reckoned with but, with this possible toxin on the table, suppose what endears Yuji to Yuki is simply Yuji being Yuji.

Her vetting question, the one parameter she uses just happens to be the same information Yuji proffers along with any introduction. Have they met before or is this simply a coincidence? What if this understanding is ultimately what helps solidify Yuki's relationship with Yuji and is a deciding factor in how he's later able to overcome Sukuna?

TLDNR: Sukuna is the King of Deadly Poisons and one of his defense mechanisms is a pheromone-like toxin that Yuji emits which disorients and confuses threats by way of toxic encephalopathy which kills their bloodlust and endears Yuji to them as protection. ✨
