i made a post a while ago highlighting the contrasts between satosugu and itafushi. with the new chapter, i see a new possibility for another contrast.
in shibuya arc before gojo got sealed, he called suguru's name, hoping that he could take his body back.
suguru did, however, his attempt was NOT successful. he did strangle kenjaku (or his body for that matter) but he wasn't able to fully take control of his body
and yet, see how, the veins in kenjaku's hands are popping (because of suguru still trying to fight back) and how his neck was bruised (from when suguru strangled kenjaku).
the thing is, suguru was already dead when kenjaku took his body, but he's still fighting back
and now with chapter 212 (major chapter spoilers under the cut)
megumi was still alive when sukuna force fed him the finger
and now megumi is sukuna's new host. like with geto and kenjaku, megumi couldn't control his body (unlike what yuji could with sukuna)
we saw if geto could take control of his body for a while with him being technically dead, it's not impossible for megumi to do that too, but with higher chances of succeeding since he's alive before sukuna made him his new host
my point is since itafushi and satosugu work so well as foils, maybe geto trying to take control of his body and failing isn't a foreshadowing of him being able to fully take back his body later on, but to megumi doing it and succeeding.
i mentioned in the previous post that where satosugu failed, itafushi succeeded and maybe this would be another case proving it.
edit: check reblogs for additional thoughts ahah 🥲

uh jjk ch 212 spoilers ahead ig??
for starters, fuck you gege. fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou
why did you make my bby megumi cry?? he's already trying to cope with his dad being sealed, and now you do this to his sis. I can't bear his face in this chapter, so help me god, in the next chapter you're gonna apologise and say that this was a very very early april fool's chapter and we'll put this shit show behind us, okay??
I mean look at him
and if that was not in fact enough, you decided this was gonna be the ch where sukuna gets to use his binding vow?? and promptly lay down angel, cut off yujis finger and then fucking feed it to megumi???
I rlly appreciated the "megumi is sukuna's vessel" fanarts, but uh I didn't think I'd get to see this in the manga fr
what goes through your head I swear
i will now sob uncontrollably till everything magically corrects itself

Not gonna discuss Ch. 212, 'cause there're already a lot of people who are doing a far better job.
Imma just remind us all this moment from Ch.117:
...So...
...RIGHT?

actually I think that the treatment of the main characters within jujutsu kaisen and chainsaw man reflect the harmful ideals of having to make yourself useful in order to be worthy to live very well and I appreciate the recent chapters of both of them reflecting on how people escape this idea in different ways

How do you feel about the new 212 chapter leaks... (if you've seen them ofc)
I honestly don't even want to think of the possibilities of how things will go now😭
Spoilers ahead, don't click if you don't wanna be spoiled, Satoru's gonna spank you~
Double the feeling I had with Yuji's calvary. And Sukuna is simply pure evil, a smart one too, to think that he's also one of the trigger Megumi realised his potential—Satoru being the final trigger during their practice session—Sukuna has been vying his time well for someone to be executed even at the start he is calm about it.
I don't want to imagine what Satoru will do anymore. And Tsumiki's situation too. Everything has been too much. It's been overwhelming for me that I had to stop to let everything sink in.

⚠️JJK SPOILERS⚠️
I love how with these new Jujutsu Kaisen spoilers it show that Sukuna changed vessels. Is my tattoo a joke to you, Gege Akutami?
