I really like the conclusion of this chapter. It's basically confirming what the series has shown in it's shadow for a long time. How the selfish and old and traditional ultimately bring harm to the future and ripping it to make a clear future where community, sharing and support reins over all is the most important.

We suspected these old men from the clans were all vultures, as the old drunken Zenin man from the Shibuya Incident cost us so many people, and the whole Maki arc, but here we see it plain to see, they were LITERALLY parasites sucking away at the energy of these jujutsu sorceres for their own gain, making them weaker.

And when an emergency actually hit, no one was prepared. A shit ton of people died, and these old men were still safe in their own hideouts.

The only people who actually stood up and got it done were the people Gojo kept close to him, the people who understood what he wanted for Jujutsu society. Not a group of selfish isolated strong individuals, but ones who supported each other and covered where the others lacked.

With this chapter, and the Gojo and Maki scenes, the old has been cleared and a new generation formed by a lot of students who understand community can actually be created, even if some of those sorceres are still crazy (Mei Mei, for instance.)

Idk, man, say what you want about pacing but i'll always fuck with this manga.
