Okay now bring me Toji and Sukuna, as a treat, because I need to get in here tomorrow and read good yummy yaps about all of these pixels.
I fuck with tojikuna heavy ngl. not one of my main ships because I do need a little bit more basis but I respect the hell out of tojikuna shippers cuz they KNOW what they want lmao. jjk fans yearned for bara and thus they created tojikuna
ngl tojikuna was really funny to me at first because for a while i hced both of them as straight HAHAHAAA. Honestly I still hc toji as 100% straight but would fuck a guy for 10 dollars, while with sukuna obviously i've changed my mind he's earned his fag card
I gained a greater appreciation for tojikuna after finishing the manga because toji and sukuna are a lot more similar than people realize. both of them were rejected by birth by a society that scorned them for reasons they had no control over. both of them try to reach some form of enlightenment through detachment, choosing indifference and apathy as a way to deal with this rejection. toji only cares about money, sukuna only cares about strength. yet, at the same time, they both hold a simmering hatred deep inside of them for what was done to them, and in the end they couldn't truly ever escape this hatred. toji loses to gojo, the pinnacle of jujutsu society, because he couldn't help but want to rebuke the society that scorned him. sukuna, similarly, loses to yuji, choosing to die than accept the humanity yuji offers him because of his lingering hatred for the society that scorned him. both of them secretly wanted revenge, even if they themselves convinced themselves that they cared about nothing other than themselves.
on top of all this, there's that while dichotomy of flesh and blood vs bone and marrow. both of them directly contradict each other's existence. both of them force a role upon each other. if toji hated gojo because he was the pinnacle of jujutsu society, what would he think if the king of curses himself, the strongest sorcerer in history? and we already know what sukuna thinks of heavenly restricted people, we all saw how he reacted to maki in that one chapter lol. So they're so similar and yet they end up on opposing sides. both of them have reason to kill each other. they give each other something to PROVE.
tojikunacore things I also like:
sleazy grimey gas station aesthetic
the actual worst people alive get together
generally thinking about itafushi in the au tojikuna gets together is hysterical how do they handle being stepbrothers
unethical open relationship
two straight guys being gay energy
this song which according to gege is sukuna's theme song but could honestly fit for both:
Anyway tojikuna peak. also I respect the hell outta tojikunas because theyre the ones who have been pushing the bottomkuna agenda the most I think
