so guess who just started jjk because my friend recommended it and i was bored?
and guess who serendipitously found a somewhat cesty ship? 👀
!!!! POST CONTAINS JJK SPOILERS!!!!
Canon? No. Promising? Yes!!! (no romantic interests for either)
In case y’all haven’t heard, Jujutsu Kaisen is the latest hot new anime about another precious boy, Itadori Yuji, with zero parental guidance, insane strength, and one (1) brain cell who becomes a demon and other hocus pocus stuff ensues. (i do recommend it because there’s a refreshing lack of romance, fanservice, and the girls actually are important)
One of his first new friends and the Sasuke to his Naruto is Fushiguro Megumi. Megumi is pretty mysterious overall, and as we see more of his scenes, he seems to constantly have flashbacks over a mysterious girl. The way it was shown... I had some spidey senses tingling.
At some point, Megumi is cornered by another student from a different magical high school and asked point-blank, “What is your ideal type of woman?”
Cue another flashback to mysterious girl, Tsumiki, who tells Megumi he has his own kindness. Megumi answers, “No preference, as long as they have a strong moral compass that can’t be swayed.” Which is exactly how he describes Tsumiki. The way it’s set up, it honestly looks like Tsumiki is his childhood crush or friend.
Turns out, mysterious girl is Fushiguro Tsumiki... Megumi’s older step-sister. Their parents married when Megumi was in first grade, so it does seem they spent a lot of their childhood together, so I do appreciate that. Unfortunately, for most of the series until present, she is in a cursed coma.
(i was so tempted to just paste so many more pages here, but essentially megumi has a whole monologue after he nearly dies in a fight against a curse, and all his thoughts are on his sister, who he was desperately protecting. the whole chapter was a goddamn delight. it’s ch. 59 if anyone wanted to read the whole thing)
In a flashback, we find out what became of Megumi after their parents disappeared--his current teacher (who actually was the one who killed his shitbag dad) became Megumi and Tsumiki’s guardian. When asked if Megumi would prefer being sold to the Zen’in clan, Megumi only has one question: “Will Tsumiki be happy?” (<3!!!!)
Obviously, Tsumiki barely shows up but Megumi is a main character. I wouldn’t recommend JJK if you only wanted some brosis shipping, but this was a PLEASANT surprise for me!!!
I wanted to give an honorable side mention to:
Mai & Maki Zen’in: Mai and Maki are from the same Zen’in clan as Megumi, however both are 1. women and 2. have little to no cursed energy, rendering them useless in the eyes of their clan. Mai only wanted to be with Maki, however Maki, inheriting physical strength but no cursed energy, wants to prove herself and ends up leaving her twin sister behind to fulfill her dream. Mai resents her for this, and they currently have an antagonistic relationship. Mai has confessed to Maki she never wanted to be a jujutsu sorcerer, and would have been happy living a normal life in their clan at the bottom, as long as Maki was by her side.
Noritoshi Kamo & his mother: very little has been elaborated on this but Kamo has been shown to be kind of a pretentious ass and very obedient to the Kamo clan. It is revealed his mother was a concubine, who left the clan due to her mistreatment and so she would not get in his way. Kamo inherited the desired cursed techniques, and is therefore the heir, and he follows the clan’s desire, all in order to make sure he can protect his mother.
Mei Mei & Ui Ui: FOR A SERIES THAT HAS LITTLE TO NO FANSERVICE, THE INTRODUCTION OF UI UI, PROFESSIONAL SISCON, NEARLY GAVE ME WHIPLASH!!! there’s really not much to either of them, Mei Mei is a strong sorcerer, who brings along her little brother Ui Ui for the big Fight and he constantly praises her. She even casually asks if Ui Ui would die for her, and he replies, “It would be an honor if you would allow me to.” (She seemingly asks this with no actual intention of letting him die, and trusting in his ability.) I PRESENT TO YOU THE CROWN JEWEL OF “I AM STRONGLY SUSPECTING GEGE AKUTAMI IS TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT SHIPCEST RIGHTS”:
MEIMEI AND UIUI ARE STRAIGHT UP IN BED (NAKED???) TOGETHER WHILE THE WORLD IS BURNING DOWN ASKJDBFAOIPWBEHF
my precious little warm cup of tea , my eremika in this insane jujutsu world. ♡
maimiki (tsumiki x mai)
mai having curiosity with Tsumiki and her closeness with Megumi (Mai's precious Zen'in) ending up her being possessive of Tsumiki is cute me thinks.
naomiki (tsumiki x naoya)
I just want naoya to have an infatuation with her bc he thinks she can be a pretty trophy wife but mf learns he's wrong about her being meek and fragile. He cant help but still wanting her even though she puts him in his place every damn time. I just want naoya learning how to respect women and I want it with tsumiki heh.
