so megumi (hades) drags yuuji (persephone) down into jujutsu society (the underworld) and inadvertently binds him to that world forever when yuuji eats sukuna’s finger (pomegranate seed)
i wanna know which employee at mappa keeps exaggerating mgyj’s height difference in merch art. like personally i love it but girl canonically its only a 2 cm difference!!!! that is NOT 2 cm!!!!
🐺🐯:
ch 6 - “Then why did you save me?!”
ch 9 - “That’s why I never regretted saving you, not even for a moment.”
ch 143 - “So start by saving me, Itadori.”
ch 266 - “It’s lonely without you, Fushiguro.”
ch 268 - “Just once more…I’ll try living for someone else.”
how i look like whenever i think about megumi’s type (“as long as a person is compassionate…/unbudging human nature and how yuuji’s given name (悠仁) literally means unwavering humanity, with the 仁 kanji encompassing several meanings: humanity, benevolence, compassion,
meguyuuji is like eros and psyche to me. perseverance of the human soul against terrible odds for love to prevail. thats the kind of story i believe in
realised this panel could be evoking how in winter, people dress jizo in (often red) hats and bibs/scarves (in part due to his child-like imagery in modern japan!)
“then why…did you save me?!” | “that’s why i never regretted saving you…not even once.”
“i’ll see you later.” (…sorry, itadori.)
“no, fushiguro. it’s because…as long as i’m around…you will suffer!” | “so start by saving me, itadori.”
megumi, at his very lowest, unable to find even the barest of strength to live after he watched his last remaining family die by his hands STILL choose to reach out to yuuji’s hand, because yuuji showed him unconditional empathy and a soft, honest plea of loneliness
also one thing i think isnt brought up enough in discussion about yuuji’s personality is how explicitly lonely of a person he is. like straight up he says it and its a core reason why hes a sorcerer. when he goes, he wants to be surrounded by people
meguyuuji is like eros and psyche to me. perseverance of the human soul against terrible odds for love to prevail. thats the kind of story i believe in
genuinely insane behaviour from megumi to say this about some guy you’ve known for 6 months but also chose to upheave the balance of jujutsu society for and never regret saving all to say you’d want him to marry your sister. like be so for real and honest with me WHO DOES THIS
and when i say jujutsu kaisen is a story about humanity and how the concepts of evil and strength born from the cruelty of humans try to persist and bring absolute suffering, but yet despite everything, love and the human spirit WILL prevail, because that’s just what living is
my thought process when choosing their outfits:
🌹 - HAS to look insanely stylish and trendy. ideally wearing smth that makes her look a bit taller
🐯 - trying to wear something nice but gives up midway and just wears a jacket + hoodie
🐺 - throws on whatever & calls it a day
anybody wanna make the thread write up about the itadori surname and its connection to the now defunct taijihi clan which utilised the flower of a japanese knotweed as its clan symbol & how the taijihi lost power during the start of the heian period or am i gonna have to do that
well heres my final thing i have to say: given that jizo/ksitigarbha is the saviour of the damned and suffering souls of hell….. i do think megumi will be saved 🥺 or at least that’s what id like to believe
still not over yuuji’s bday being the start of spring and megumi’s bday being the longest winter night. spring equinox and winter solstice…. okay okay im normal (lying)
todo: your type is so fucking boring my guy
todo, after realising megumi’s type is yuuji: nvm you r unfathomably based. truly only the wisest of men would fall for my brother.
todo: but now we must duel. so i can test the worthiness of you as my brother’s life partner
megumi:
whenever someone says megumi has a ‘crush’ on yuuji internally im like. hmm. i feel like that word is too small to at all carry even a fraction of the weight of megumi’s feelings about yuuji in general. like i dont think this is just. a crush. gumi the biggest freak i know
