#well at least not untill the shibuya incident arc

@strawberry-barista​ asked: Cam receives a text from an unknown number:

This number correctly links to Chamyle, is that correct? This is Sanae Hanekoma, specifically the one connected to Hope Raymond who you had a talk with some months ago concerning her soul. I am sending this message in hopes you can give me some information regarding the current situation. I am located in another universe at the moment, attempting to protect an iteration of Joshua which has not seen the UG yet. His iteration of myself also has no ability to protect him from the supernatural, so I am standing in at the moment. If there is anything I can do from my current location, however, please let me know. I simply want to be as informed as possible on where we are and what we know. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

She’d been in The Archives for ages now, the only real way of having a sense of time being the messages and chatrooms from her friends. The same ringtones, beeps and dings, all with different timestamps. At least until her usual text tone sounded out instead.

The number is one with the same area code Hope’s usually displayed nowadays... Someone from Shibuya?

Reading through the message prompts her to quickly save the contact as “Hope’s Newest Father” and respond via speech-to-text afterwards.

[ Chamyle ] Ah, yes, I remember you.  [ Chamyle ] Thanks for reaching out. I can relay what I have so far, though the messages may be a bit sporadic. I’m not in a location with the best reception at the moment, for security reasons.

Chamyle keeps sifting through her files and records, waiting for the messages to send before she continues. A waving of her hand moves a shadowy ribbon to follow her with the phone in it’s grip.

[ Chamyle ] I’ve gone through every possibility and came to the conclusion that Hope, Teal and I’s mother is indeed responsible for this incident. My theory is that since she couldn’t get access to what she views as hers in a gentle manner, that she’s getting more and more aggressive with her attempts to bring them back to Meyth- Comalia in specific. [ Chamyle ] Based on the fact that there is a shadow ‘doppelganger’ of “Hope” running around in the same universes she is currently in, at that time, and she’s not quite acting like herself? It sounds a lot like some fae-esque magic from a place in the Craftiverse called Rogueport; only it’s been altered to suit whatever need Maria has. [ Chamyle ] I’m trying to find the file I have on a particular entity who uses this sort of magic, but it’s taking some time since the name changes every time he takes a new identity... [ Chamyle ] If she used that as a base for what she’s pulling off then the way to break that magic should be the same as well. [ Chamyle ] And if I remember right... then we’re going to have to locate Maria’s True Name. I don’t have records going that far in her life... or many records at all frankly. I may have to try and break into some more-than-mortal realms for that information. [ Chamyle ] Unless I can find some contacts who have access to knowledge that ancient that I can look at... [ Chamyle ] I’d check to see if anyone’s made contact with the True Hope- that shadow- as well. But I can only take care of so many tasks myself. I do know one thing; wherever “Hope” is, the Real One will be as well. That’s typical for cognitive shadows to stick in the same vicinity as the rest of their identity. [ Chamyle ] We’ll get her back. I know we will.

do you how long has yuuta been staying abroad??? i need to know for a fic thanks <3

So to start, the Japanese high school academic calendar can be divided into two systems: the three-semester system and the two-semester system (source). Most schools use the three-semester system though, so I’m just gonna jump the gun and say Jujutsu High uses it as well (and to save me from doing more maths than I need to).

The Japanese school year starts in April and ends in mid-March (source). The terms are divided like this:

1st term: April to July

2nd term: September to December

3rd term: January to mid-March

The timeline for the series goes like this: November 2016 Volume 0 starts.

December 24 2017 is the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons orchestrated by Getou.

Volume 0 ends somewhere in the winter of 2017/2018.

Yuuji becomes Sukuna’s vessel in June of 2018 and shortly thereafter enters Jujutsu High. During this time period of Yuuji entering the school, Yuuta is already absent.

On October 31st 2018, the Shibuya Incident arc starts.

Lastly, Yuuta returns to Japan somewhere between October 31st and November 9th 2018.

We know for sure that Yuuta is still in Japan until the end of December 2017 for the Night Parade and then that by June 2018, he’s already abroad, because that’s when Yuuji enters the school and they have not met each other until the first week of November 2018, right after the Shibuya Incident.

So there are 3 ways to go about this. The first one is:

Yuuta finishes his 1st year at Jujutsu High before he goes abroad.

(School year ends in mid-March like I mentioned above.)

That means he’s been gone from mid-March 2018 till November 2018.

Conclusion: He’s been gone for 7 months excluding the month of March.

The second way is:

Yuuta does not finish his 1st year at Jujutsu High and immediately after Volume 0 leaves for his journey abroad.

He leaves somewhere in January 2018/February 2018, just before the school year ends and returns in November 2018.

Conclusion: He’s been gone for 9/10 months.

Third one is:

Yuuta starts his second year at Jujutsu High in April 2018 but leaves before June 2018 (when Yuuji enrolls at the school).

That is a 2/3 months time frame. So he’s been gone from anywhere between April-June 2018 until November 2018.

Conclusion: He’s been gone for 7 months if he left in April 2018. Gone for 6 months if he left in May 2018. Gone for 5 months if he left in June 2018.

I think the first route is the most feasible one, but at the most, he’s been gone for 10 months, and at the least, he’s been gone for 5 months. I hope this helped you and I’m wishing you lots of good luck with your fic!! ♥

I wonder what your thoughts are regarding Kamo Sr, especially regarding his goals compared to his host's and Gojo's

It’s kind of hard to give an opinion on Kamo Sr.’s actual character because he’s not established yet? There’s more we don’t know than we know about him. We know he spent 1,000 years making deals for the sake of the change of the world, we know he cares more about cursed energy than individual people, we know he’s absolutely ruthless in his methods of bringing about change, but also that change seems to be just a recreation of the heian era he once lived in, but we don’t really know why he does these things? Geto has both a goal, and an established motivation for those goals. So far we’ve only seen Kamo Sr. in terms of his goals, we know what he’s doing, but not why he’s doing it. 

However, since you asked specifically in pertains to his goals I can discuss what his goals are in the broad scheme of things. To understand his goal you have to compare it to Geto, Gojo, and also Yuki Tsukumo. 

1. The Kids Aren’t Alright

Geto and Gojo share the same primary goal, to protect young sorcerers so they never have to go through the same trauma that destroyed their youth. However, they have opposite ways of going about it. They both view sorcerery society as something that is corrupt and destroys individual lives, but they place the blame in different areas. 

Gojo blames it on the elders on top that hold power in their society. He believes if he can raise students as allies who are strong enough to replace them, then the new regime will replace the old and will get better.

Geto believes the problem lies in the uncaring masses. That a minority (in this case sorcerers) is being oppressed in order to protect a majority of peopel who don’t even know about their struggle.That the masses are blind to the fact that they create curses, and because of this sorcerers have to needlessly sacrifice their lives over and over again in an unchanging system. 

They’re both wrong. Like, Gojo is not trying to kill a bunch of people obviously but he’s only addressing half the problem. He believes if he raises children as political allies to replace the elders with a new, better regime things will improve politically and the previous generation will stop oppressing the new generation but he sort of misses out on the fact that he’s still using children as tools. 

But Gojo’s like, no they’re my tools, I’ll treat them well, because I’m the strongest when I send them into battle as long as they’re also strong they’ll be just fine. (Joke). 

What I mean to say is, basically what Gojo teaches his students is being stronger is what will fix your problems, when Gojo himself knows that doesn’t work. He says after losing Geto “Being strong isn’t enough to save people.” Gojo doesn’t know how to teach his students cooperativeness or getting along with others. He knows that’s what he’s missing but thinks the solution is in raising others to be strong as his, not like... teaching people to come together.

You can look at how the students fight in the Shibuya Arc as an example of this, all of Gojo’s students, run off on their own, try to be strong indivudally and fail. Yuji loses to Choso because he was fighting on their own, Megumi flips out and does a suicide attack, Nobara slips up in a fight against Mahito and gets her face blown off. They also didn’t really listen to other people, Nobara was told to stay back by an adult concerned for her well being because she would get hurt and she recklessly charged in. Megumi advised Yuji not to run off or be reckless, but Yuji did anyway and Sukuna rampaged. Gojo knows strength but he doesn’t know cooperativeness, and he doesn’t seem to understand how complex society’s various abuses can get, it’s not just a bunch of corrupt elders on top, it’s familial abuse, it’s corrupt clan politics, it’s disabled people like Kokichi not getting the help they needed and being used as tools. Gojo’s solution is just, if I raise these kids to be strong enough, then they wont’ be affected by the corruption of the world around them. 

Geto’s philosophy is more wrong (obviously), but he at least picks up on the fact of how wrong it is to be using sorcerers as disposable tools. Geto values cooperativeness, and the strength of the bonds between sorcerers. Geto loves empathy, he loves the connections between people and believse that’s what makes people stronger. He calls the people he’s helped his family. I mean, you can tell the difference between what Geto and Gojo value from the way they treat Megumi and Nanako + Mimiko. 

Geto raises them as his two daughters. Gojo shows up, offers his protection, gives them money, and then has them live mostly alone. Geto isn’t perfect either but he did offer himself as a substitute family. Also Geto doesn’t predicate his help to Nanako and Mimiko on the fact that they have to be allies to him growing up. Gojo offers his help to Megumi on the condition that, when you grow up you have to be a political ally to my side. I mean he ends up using his family as tools as well, but Geto even directly pulls them out of harm’s way and orders them to retreat, whereas Gojo sent his students as backup to the fight against Yuta and Geto on the premise that they would get hurt, and it would motivate Yuta to fight. 

They’re just different in the way they see people in treat people, Geto doesn’t want sorcerers to be used as tools, Gojo is like, what if I made sorcerers into stronger tools, hmmm.... then they wouldn’t get hurt. 

Something Gojo doesn’t seem to realize, because he views himself as a tool ultimately too. However, even if Geto were to accomplish his goal of eliminating everyone but sorcerers, young sorcerers would still continue to die because the sorcery world is still politically corrupt. 

Gojo idealizes indivudal strength and believes that if he raises people to be individually strong enough, they’ll replace the old regime with something better. (That’s wrong.) Geto idealizes sorcers as a whole community, and believes that if the problem of curses were removed from the world, that Sorcers as a superior species to humans would all be able to come together and make a more ideal world. (That’s also wrong.) 

Geto and Gojo both agree on the same idea, that sorcery society should be fixed so that the youth will not have to keep suffering the same mistakes as their predecessors, that no one will have to live the childhood that Geto and Gojo did, but they both have half complete methods for bringing about this fix. 

I spent so long on elaborating on that because I wanted to establish, Geto and Gojo, in their own way both care about young sorcerers and would fight the world in order to protect them. Yuki and Kamo Sr. both don’t care about individual people at all. They’re very much the world > people. 

2. Who Cares About Them Kids?

I think the fact that Yuki Tsukumo purposefully sat on her hands while people were fighting and dying, waited until the last possible moment to intervene, and then when Yuji was left in the aftermath didn’t really offer that much of a helping hand just sort of walked away shows that she’s not really that hung up on the suffering of individual people.

Both Yuki and Kamo are so focused on cursed energy, that they don’t really pay attention to individual people. They believe the way to change the world lies entirely in cursed energy, ignoring the plights of individual people. You know, even though the world is made up of people. 

Yuki’s not outwardly malicious, she’s just careless. The senseless loss of life in the Shibuya incident doesn’t really bother her the way it does people like Yuji, because that’s not where her focus is. It’s not like one of them is the good mad scientist and one of them is the bad one. It’s more like Yuki is lawful because she at least seems to abide by some rules, whereas Kamo Sr. is chaotic because, he purposefully promotes chaos as a way of finding the ideal answer, and also he willfully breaks all of society’s taboos. 

When she brings up Toji Zenin she’s not really interested in him as a person, she just thinks he’s a cool science experiment that he wants to study. I once thought Yuki Might have been manipulating Geto but, I was wrong on that front. I don’t think she’s the kind of person who would purposefully manipulate someone to that extent because of the way she views individual people, they’re just not interesting enough. What she’s interested in above all else is cursed energy. The fact that Geto eventually was corrupted didn’t even register to her, because she’s not focused on his individual well being. He’s one piece in a big game she is playing (this is just my guess of course we have nothing on her). 

So while opposite Kamo Sr., both Tsukumo and him sound eerily alike, because they both prioritize cursed energy over people. 

They have different methodology, but their ideals are the same. 

I think Tsukumo at least is an idealist in the grand scheme of things that she doesn’t want to introduce more unncessary suffering into the world to achieve her results, and also is worried about the consequences of her action on a large scale. 

But at the same time, like I said she’s not an ally of any one individual. She’s not on anybody’s side. She’s not really sympathetic to Yuji or his plight considering she just, wanders off, because her concern is with the world. 

Now to finally get into Kamo Sr.’s methodology, there’s an interesting paradox between his ideals and his method. He says he wants to bring out the potential of human beings, but we’ve estalbished again and again Kamo doesn’t actually care about the welfare of individual human beings.

I thik it’s imporant to show the way he treated Choso and his family. He dismissed Choso and his brothers as failures, before they were even born, and then abadnoned him. 

Then he diagnoses the fact that they were wrong because they were a failed creation. That’s like, objectively wrong here. Choso and the others never reached their potential, because he didn’t stick around to see their potential. I think the reason they failed is because you abandoned them about five seconds after they created. 

Kamo Sr. wants to experiment with people to force them to grow and reach their full potential, but he also doesn’t really care about what happens to them. He wants to see individual potential, but ignores individuals and looks away from them. See, his methods are at odds with his ideals.

Kamo Sr. also tries to introduce chaos in order to witness that potential, but he like... at the same time is a complete control freak. These ideas conflict each other. He wants to witness chaos to see what will happen, but he always has to be in control. He has to be the one to have a hand in the creation for chaos. His idea of making chaos is, spending 1,000 years making binding vows that he controls, and he releases. A binding vow is represented by chains, that’s like, the opposite of freedom.

Not only that but his directly stated world he wants to create, is a contradiction. He wants to create a new world, because he believes the safety of the modern age has caused sorcery to stagnate as a whole. Which is why he prefers the chaotic heian era, because the danger and constant fighting pushed sorcers to their peak, the so-called golden age of sorcery. 

However, his idea for creating a new world comes from... an over idealization of the past, and a desire to hold onto the old ways. His ideals might be to create something new, but his methods are just, the same old thing. Traditionalism. The past was better. Things should be like they were in the past. 

This all leads to the fact that Kamo Sr. isn’t actually creating a new world, not really, he’s hitting a reset button on the world and undoing 1,000 years of progress because he thought the Heian era was better. 

Kamo Sr. claims to be something else, but he’s actually no different than the elders who currently hold power in the Sorcery World. He’s sacrificing the young people,  out of some idealization of the past and a desire to return to how things used to be, when things in the past were never really that good. He says he’s for change, but his actions are actively resisting change by trying to push the world back 1,000 years, because the chaotic heian era was just so much better with its lack of universal medical care, and indoor plumbing.
