[List] 4 'Sick Week' Anime: TheList

[List] 4 ‘Sick Week’ Anime: TheList

Hello everybody! If you read my post on Spy x Family, you know that I’ve been sick all this week. While sick, I watched a lot of ID…and a lot of anime. So, in honor of my slow yet steady recovery, I thought I’d discuss some of the anime I’ve watched over the past week. Keep in mind that I haven’t finished many of these anime. I may come back and revisit them at a later date. Let’s get into…

sukuna is mara

"

I made this thread because I was trying to search more and more about Sukuna as a character and, simultaneously, as a myth as well, trying to learn more about him. And I didn't only search for his connections and metaphors with "Yama " in myths, but also another Demon King that+

I thought would be more precise as a reflection of Sukuna's character in JJK. And that would be the Celestial Demon King Maara. (Sukuna and Maara bellow) Maara is also known as "Hajun ", a name very associated with demons that fight Buddha or some figure that represents him+

in fiction as general. Maara is known as "The Destroyer ", "The Lord of Death " and has a strange and indispensable sovereignty over Samsara itself! In this thread, I will try to relate Maara to Sukuna as much as I can. (Demons of Maara bellow)

Sh Maara can also be called and known as: Kleśa-māra (Embodiment of unskillful emotions; greed, hate and delusion); Mṛtyu-māra (Maara as embodiment of Death) and most importantly known as+ Devaputra-māra (Deva of Sensuous Realm; the one who appeared to Gautama, Buddha, the night he achieved Nirvana).

In Jujutsu Kaisen, strenght has, even if it is little, a relation and connection with enlightenment. The strongest (Sukuna and Gojo, respectively) are called Honored Ones, the Enlightened Ones. hose who wisdom, genius abilities, powers and names traverse the history of the world+

Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 as the best of the best, without a doubt! In a way, we can, in this line of thought, relate that those who want to become stronger are bodhisattvas (those who follow the Buddha way; who look for true enlightenment). Why I'm pointing this out? Because in the Golden Era of Jujutsu+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 when the Jujutsu Sorcery was in it's most absolute peak collectively, the most powerful of the most powerful reunited to defeat and kill the King of Curses. The most powerful, following the bodhisattva line of thought, are those following the Way of Enlightenment. Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 But… how does this connects with Maara and Sukuna again? Maara in myths are known for being the most vile demon. The concentration of all forms of evil, depravity and tempting concepts as they come. e being responsible of DESTROYING those who follow the way of Buddha+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 responsible for killing and corrupting the souls and Ways of those called bodhisattvas, destroying their Illumination. Maara and Sukuna are the same. While in buddhism, Maara defeats and exterminate bodhisattvas, in Jujutsu Kaisen, if strengths does mean that one is closer to+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 Enlightenment than other, Sukuna defeating overwhelmingly the strongest of the strongest does connect them as he destroyed JJK's "bodhisattvas ", the strongest of the strongest.

Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 Sukuna is called The King of Curses, he who posesses the most concentration and brute form of CE, he who surpasses every one of other cursed users. In myths, Maara, as I said earlier, is the utmost form of evil. Of evil methods, of the abstraction of vile things…+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 Ringing a bell again, here? Both are concentration of evil, in some way. Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 There is, no kidding here, SO MANY WAYS there we can relate the King of Curses and The Destroyer Maara that it's not even funny.

But, lets head to the apex of this thread. Maara's relation to Buddha and how does this reach Sukuna vs Gojo. Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 It's not strange to relate Gojo to Buddha (his name, "Satoru ", literally means, in his rooted form in buddhism, "Enlightenment ), his quote after reaching the skies and calling himself to be the Honored One ("Tenjo tenge yuiga dokuson ", as he says himself)+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 And, once connecting Sukuna to Hajun (Maara's another name) we begin to cook something here. You see, Maara is the most evil enemy Buddha has ever faced. The encarnation of evil and depravity, using any way to destroy Buddha and make him part ways with Enlightenment, trying to+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 tempt him to destroy him, as, those that are CONTAINED in Samsara should, if he chooses too, be helpless once Maara can use any method to destroy us.

(Ironically, I just noticed that in this art, Maara hold the Vajra and Trishula like Sukuna lol)

Maara's most powerful ability in myths is the "Power of Doubt/Illusion". With it, he tries to make Buddha doubt himself and his teachings, his ways, trying to make him doubt that he achieved Nirvana. But, the wise Gautama, the Buddha we know+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 said that the Earth should be his witness as he doesn't need ESSENTIALY anyone to believe him. They believe if they want to, he doesn't need to doubt his achievement. Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 Ironically, how does this "duel " connects with Gojo and Sukuna? In chapter 230 of JJK, Sukuna calls out Gojo as "painfully ordinary "as he isn't enlightened, he is just as any other sorcerer around, nothing special.

This does hurt, but the most interesting thing here is that Sukuna uses a kanji that calls as "bonpu ". This literally means "those who don't achieved/failed to achieve Enlightenment ", truly ordinary. That's why Gojo's look was so... disappointed. Maybe even with himself.

In buddhism, not doubting his achievement, Buddha defeats Maara and save his students. But we know that this time, when the most evil being fought the Honored One… this representation of Buddha we call "Satoru Gojo ", didn't come to win against the Celestial Demon King… Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 Just to finish here… I noticed that Maara's representations truly upscales him to the "transcendence level " of myths. He holds the Vajra, the most powerful and unbeatable weapon. He holds the Trishula, being the encarnation of his titles: "The Destroyer "+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 Reinforcing one theory that said that "power " and strength, isnt the way to defeat Sukuna, comparing Ryomen Sukuna to Maara here, of course. And even, ironically, both Maara and Sukuna have a "special " eye(s) themselves+ Shaksasha @monkeysking88 · Oct 1 Sukuna can literally sense the metaphysical manifestation of the CT on a jujutsu sorcerer. Combining with the Third Eye of the Demon King Hajun (Maara) that sees all, to no one EVER escape his evil, in any plane that one founds himself…

[silhouettelover]

the thing that's difficult to explain about tenjo tenge is that while the plot isn't necessarily the most innovative ever by the end of it oh! great is just constantly drawing something fucking awesome with no explanation and throwing out iconic compositions like my cover image just because he wants to... there's that quote of him talking about how he draws horny art of women because it's fun but you can really tell that he actually feels that way about everything else he draws just as much lol. he's such a sick artist

#also the structure of the story itself soaks it in a kind of painful nostalgia that's difficult to explain.. #it's in media res i guess but in the sense of it being a sequel that takes place in the aftermath of the older siblings' story #having watched the anime around a decade before reading the manga probably added to that heavily for me personally tbf but i do remember #that incredibly strong permeation of regret was my biggest takeaway from the anime in 2010~ as well #also bunshichi is so fucking gay #one of my favourite boys ever
