Yuta may have an abundance of cursed energy, but Itadori is no slouch. It's easy to forget Itadori has only been a sorcerer for months, while Yuta has been cursed for a minute. I can see Choso sacrificing himself, creating yet another person Itadori owes a debt

I have to agree that Gojou's arc is probably the best arc in the entire series up to this point, but can it still be better?

First of all, I like how Suguru's character was developed. How he started with believing that Shaman should protect the non-shaman and in the end turned the entirely opposite way.
Suguru's story involved decision making.

"The person you want to be, just choose one and stick to it."

He made a decision and therefore he stuck to it even if it meant he had to kill his own family.
This part will be much better if we get to see his conflicts in the process of following his decision. The Suguru that was portraited before wasn't a heartless cold guy. He was quite considerate and had lots of thoughts. A character like this, I think, cannot suddenly turn into a brutal person who killed his parents and a lot of innocent people without a conflict. Especially, when not all non-shaman is jerk-like people.
If Gege can explore further on this point, it will give the character much more depth.

Then, we have Gojou's story. I like Gojou's ending a lot more since it showed what he had learned through his action "go help someone who is ready to be helped" (in this case Fushiguro). However, the part before that was quite unclear to me. What was Gojou's original ideology? "The Strong rules"? Did that ideology change? What did he learn after fighting with Fushiguro's father?

What do you think?

Geto changed when Rika died, and the aftermath of it. It was a gradual change, but the conversation he had with Yuki is what probably pushed him over the top and go all in on killing non-sorcerers.

i just dont understand. What mde Yuta become such a jerk and a pawn to the Upper Echlon? Is all this to avengt eh loss of hsi friends arm or has he truly become this cold? This is just getting more depressed.

Do you really think that after what happened some people wouldnt want Itadori dead? I mean Kusakabe reaction says it all. Uppers are jerks but honestly its not like they dont have a point.

He does not know Itadori, from his point of view it is only the container of a curse.


Then, my theory is that maybe he believes that if he does what the upper floors want, they could pardon Gojo.

Maki should make a difference given Yuta and Naoya's conflicting opinions of her. I'm hoping she gets mentioned during all this.

Since we have been following Itadori from the beginning, we understand and sympathize for him as we know his personality and intention. But from others' POV, Itadori is highly dangerous as he did destroy and kill many people in the battle. Yuta might not be upset. He just thinks this Itadori dude is uncontrollable and should be killed.

it still does not make sense to me that Yuuta, who was locked away by the upper echlon is now a willing pawn to them. One would have hoped from all the dialgue that Gojo did that he would be the next big good. seems that is not the case anymore.

even so, I did not expect him to follow along with the upper echlon. The same poepel that wanted HIM DEAD not that long ago.

they may have a point, but given what the aftermath of the Shibuya did, a lot of the problems are blamed on the wrong people. They are not even prepared to free Gojo, the Story Breaker Power. Because they fear HIS power taking away THIER power. And then killing the Principal and make Gojos strongest students sumbit ot them (yes even the Zennin count in that for me) then what they do in the end does nto sound liek greater good to me.
it sounds like an excuse to do what they want together with the greater good.

I do see your point there. There are 2 possible ways of why Yuta might be like that:

When Yuta was locked away, he viewed himself as being extremely dangerous. Instead of feeling unfair or upset, I think Yuta was rather scared of himself. Yuta is similar to Itadori, a non-shaman by birth and is possessed by a curse. For this reason, Yuta would be the most likely person to see how dangerous Itadori is if he happens to lose control of his curse. I don't think the fact that they started out the same way helped Yuta to sympathize with Itadori. It actually makes Yuta wants to kill Itadori more.

Or maybe something happened during the time gap between Yuta's story and Jujutsu's lastest chapter that had changed him. The Yuta we saw previously and the Yuta now feel like different people to me.

The upper floors wanted Yuta dead as long as he was considered a threat, now he isn't anymore.

 

[Athrin]

I thought Yuta was pretty clear he's not doing this because of the uppers. Sukuna chopped off one of Inumaki's arm, so as far as Yuta knows, Itadori did it. This is taking out a cursed vessel from his POV. It's crazy how we gotta wait till sunday to see what's being said. I'm now wondering if Yuta ever perform black flash, which may be the equalizer for Itadori.

Akutami interview:

The false memories that Todo and Choso experienced aren't part of Yuuji's abilities or any kind of technique. Todo and Choso both see the memories that never existed for different reasons.

 

[Neala897]

Akutami interview:

This was actually the most surprising part.

 

[Franz]

Jujutsu Kaisen might reach its conclusion in aboug two years time. Akutami-sensei stated that we’ve reached the halfway point already.

He already has plans for a lot of characters.

Wait, what? I'm so confused now. So what is happening with them?
