I'll tell you being a Takako Uro fan can very exhausting sometimes. It sucks that people only see her as a "fanservice" character.
"Yuta saw a naked woman and didn't even want to show a little bit of interest of cracking her?"
With all disrespect, fuck you all the way on that. Gave me so much ick.
"Here let me just upload this unofficial art of Takako with her hips and breast enlarged and pass it around like it's official art."
"Let me believe that this is official art because MAPPA surely will make the women look like this."
(I, for real, saw a video showing art of Takako that didn't even look like MAPPA's depiction of Gege's art and people were so quick to accept it as official. The same person upload a video on "MAPPA beefing up Kirara" and showing clear fanart of her with enlarged boobs, different pupils and a purple streak in her hair. They tried to pass it off like it was from the trailer.)
Like, ever stop and think why a woman who was practically owned by the Fujiwara clan who didn't even have her own name until she was framed by the same clan to be executed chooses not to wear clothes and uses her technique instead to cover herself?
Maybe it's because her technique being sky related and having control to manipulate it is her reinforcing her freedom as someone who is given a chance to live life how she wants to. Free as a bird, no clothes symbolizing freedom and having no restrictions?
Like, Sukuna is the same way!
"He's always stripping in front of Megumi!"
I am so sure it is not to flirt with Megumi given the only two times he does rip off clothes is to show off how evil he is, which he embraces.
First time, he didn't know who Megumi was, let alone paid attention to Megumi. The first person he actually pays attention to is Yuji. He didn't acknowledge Megumi until Megumi spoke.
Sukuna was a four-armed, tattooed beast of a man. He didn't wear tops like that during the Heian Era. It's out of comfort and can be seen as a way of intimidating people by showing off his physique and tattoos.
The second time Sukuna rips off his (actually Yuji's) clothes? It was played for horror. He deadass had the full intention of traumatizing Megumi before killing him by ripping Yuji's heart out in front of him and then tossing it to the side like it's garbage.
And look, I know nudity scenes can be for fanservice, whatever.
But I think people should consider that nudity isn't always for that. It also can tell the story of a character, you know?
Both Takako and Sukuna are characters who choose to rebel against the world that mistreated them through their anger while also to not be restricted by clothing yet comforting themselves through that nudity in some way. Takako using her technique to mask her body comes off as wrapping a blanket around her vulnerability. Sukuna has tattoos and four arms, so wearing a kimono isn't going to be a walk in the park for him when you want to show off and be comfortable. Crazy part is, Sukuna also does wearing some clothing. He has been seen with a shawl (?) around his shoulders and when he is in his soul chamber he wears a woman's kimono.
The kimono has wider sleeves than a man's and its also traditional. Sukuna lived through the Heian Era, which is less modern than the present time. I would say him wearing a kimono also is him being attached to a time he reigned freely.
