I know the last arc of the series had some big stumbles, as one of the defenders I made my peace with that truth... but I still will defend this story, I won't run from the failings, I won't close my eyes to the things that could have been done better.
This last chapter feels... sweet for me.
Seeing the trio being their best dumb selves, seeing Sukuna "graciously" accept his defeat (he holds by to his creed), seeing that little bitch Mahito one last time sulking because he is a pissy child... oh, that felt delicious.
If you look at the overall theme of how "curses" work, the deep connection they have with desire and wanting... this chapter felt like Gege's own little "curse" for all of us... cheeky bastard XD.
I will hold to some hope that Gege may decide to do a "part 2", but if doesn't happen... i won't begrudge it, I mean... it is up to me to decide if I hold to his "curse" or not XD, and I will wait excitedly for his next work.
Thanks, Gege for this journey, and thanks to all of you who gave me some really fun discussions... those were some awesome 6 years.
