The goose who holds a reed between its mouth

The title of this and previous weeks chapter in Japanese, which is translated to "Perfect Preparation" is a taken from a saying. The chapter title is 葦を啣む (ashi wo fukumu), meaning to hold a reed between the mouth. It's taken from a saying 葦を啣む雁 which translated to "a goose hold a reed between its mouth". The saying has literal meaning as translated in English title "a good preparation".

The saying refers to the habit of migratory birds, in this example is goose, who bring a reed between its mouth in preparation of long migration. They would take a reed between their mouth and take off to long journey crossing the sea. They will use the reeds when they stop to rest their wings before continuing their journey.

A dead bird is said to left behind "the reed". This is what Mai left to Maki, which becomes the sword.

And Maki, with her symbolism as "the goose", picks up the reed to continue her long journey crossing the sea, to destroy the Zenin family.

Let’s talk about Miwa

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 149 Leak Spoilers Below

-

(this is my first semi analysis post so it’s probably horrible lol)

-( TW Suicide) (TW Depression?)

( I could be looking in to this too much because she’s one of my kins)

I feel like a lot of people gloss over the fact that Miwa was about to commit self bye bye. Miwa knew she couldn’t beat Kenjaku, she implied that she was no longer afraid to die, and she truly didn’t care what happened to her in that moment.

I think right now Miwa is in a very delicate place emotionally and I honestly think Mai’s death might push her over the edge. I don’t know what that would look like, but I know it will be extremely self destructive.

I don’t think Miwa is going to quit being a jujutsu sorcerer so I’m not sure what will happen with her. (Knowing Akutami she’ll probably be killed off) Could she possibly snap? What would that even entail?

I don’t know, I just feel like people need to talk about Miwa more often (I’m biased because she’s one of my favorite characters)

Anyways, any thoughts?

Firstly that room Mai and Maki was in is where Toji got his scar on his mouth from. if u got the fanbook it mentions that about Toji.

I wish Mai had more screentime because it making it hard to get an impact of her death as she did not appear much in the series.

However, it is really sad that one twin had to die for the other to reach their full potential. The last thing Mai did before she died is creating Maki her sword and it sad in a way because her creation won’t ever disappear after it completed and will remain with Maki forever.

of course my fav panel Maki/Toji parallels fuck yea!

Go Maki destroy the Zenin clan!!!
