reading Yuji's lines this chapter feels like seeing him properly come into his own as Gojo's student. He's someone who can't help but try but he has the strength and means to take the brunt of the trouble if his attempt to help backfires. Seeing him stunt on Mahito like that doesn't hurt the comparison either lol
I still believe in Yuka and Tsurugi popping into this in-between space, if cursed spirits are still going to exist even after this plan, sorcerers like them will need to be around to help out for a while longer. Feels right to include them in the conversation and give Maru that last push to go through with things
