At first, I thought I was seeing things because I was tired.
Tatami mats, the kind you'd only see in a traditional Japanese house. And a black smudge in the corner of the room. No—it was a face, stretched into a grotesque, mocking grin.
"Oh, what the fuck is this?"
I'd done nothing but get hammered the night before, yet it felt like I'd been kidnapped and dumped somewhere.
Waking up in an unfamiliar house with some nasty-looking mold. It didn't take long for that realization to shatter.
Because a face was literally crawling out of that smudge!
"Jukkiyaaaaak!"
Yooooouuu... look tasty.... want to tear...
It wasn't just a face anymore. Gradually... a neck, shoulders, and a torso were slithering out. Its fingers were honed like jagged blades.
"Ugh, Jujutsu Punch!"
Reflexively, I swung my fist at the repulsive entity.
Without even the sound of snapping bones, the monster's face was crushed instantly, scattering into fine dust.
"Huh?"
Whatever it was—ghost or monster—it had disintegrated.
But what caught my attention wasn't the dust; it was the thick, flickering blue energy wreathed around the back of my hand.
It burned like a flame but wasn't hot. Above all, it felt familiar. I had definitely seen this somewhere before.
"No way... is this Jujutsu Kaisen?"
That thing looked like it crawled straight out of a Junji Ito manga. And this blue aura on my hand—anyone who's seen the Jujutsu Kaisen anime would recognize this effect immediately.
"Argh! No!"
I tried shaking my hand. It wouldn't go away.
I tried blowing on it. It only flickered more intensely.
"...The CG team did a hell of a job."
Fine, I'll accept that I've been transmigrated. Sure. These things happen.
But the real problem is this:
'Why me?'
It's not like I sent a 15,000-character hate DM to Gege, and I didn't exactly take a direct hit from an Isekai-bound truck. I wasn't even a hardcore Jujutsu Kaisen nerd.
I just started the anime after the hype from Season 2, Episode 16—the Sukuna vs. Mahoraga fight. I only moved to the manga because I was curious about what happened next.
And then, every time some absolute trash development happened—like 'The Comedian,' 'The Random America Arc,' 'It's a Sword! It's Sumo!', 'Special Grade Cursed Tool: Fire Extinguisher,' 'The Desperate Struggle to Hold in Poop,' or the 'Gag Battle'—I dropped it.
Instead, I just lurked on the JJK Gallery, sniping the dopamine-heavy highlights like 'Maki Awakening,' 'Sukuna enters Megumi,' or 'Gojo vs. Sukuna hype.'
Of course, I didn't read it on an official site. I used that GOAT mammal-breeding site for pirates.
"I honestly have no idea why I'm here."
