"all these one-on-ones... did they forget the main objective?" i would even say no one cares enough to fight the damn curses, they only get exorcised if they get in the way lol. and honestly, i do understand why everyone who doesn't know itadori is so against him, my boy has a king of curses inside of him and no one knows when it blows up in everyone's face, because it will, so i understand their fear and desire to get rid of him as soon as possible. but i will not root for them, because that's my boy, and i'm tired of everyone treating him as nothing but sukuna's vessel! the best part about them all fighting each other is of course the growing bond between yuji and todo, he even declared him his new best friend (yuji didn't really care, he just wanted to fight and get stronger, but still, it was cute), the rest of the students just have a lot of personal issues they had to sort out. especially mechamaru and mai, but i do feel for both of them, their situations are pretty bad (i'm too lazy to write down how i feel about it all again, but if you could see my reading journal here, you would understand just how much i feel for them both, honest to god).

but now that we're done fighting each other, here come the special grades to raise the stakes. i'm excited!
