No bc for canon gofushi, i still live in ch 226 (that was a REAL hug idc what ppl say they can talk with a wall bc it had no business lasting 2 whole panels, with gojo's hand tenderly on memi's head just for a battle maneuver right!!) and the chapter where gojo breaks character, revealing a small crack of weakness to sukuna, enough to exclaim "megumi's soul!!" in horror jfjd (gets me every time 🥲) brainrot was real and it was SO good and i really thought gege got us but who knows 😩 (i am still delusional)
the HUG IM SO WEAK FOR IT. i love looking at it both from a gofushi and sukugo bent, but you're absolutely right, it was truly a little too tender to be JUST a diversionary tactic. who touches their enemy like that? (gojo does [see jogo], but shhhh)
GOJO'S FACE WHEN HE REALISES IT'S MGM'S SOUL, I'LL STILL CRY. gojo played the whole "i can wail on megumi" so cool, but learning it wasn't just physical damage, which he wholeheartedly believed megumi can handle because he's strong, but actually worse and knowing that megumi struggled with his own worth and resilience and ughughuhguhughugh.
yeah, let's go back there and reset. gojo can still give himself brain damage and get scarred and hollow purple himself, but it has to end with him coaxing megumi out of his infinity pool of pain so they can be together again ;~~~;
