"Usopp Pinocchio Imagery", This "Usopp Aesop Imagery" That.... What About Usopp Odysseus Imagery? I Never

"Usopp Pinocchio imagery", this "Usopp Aesop imagery" that.... What about Usopp Odysseus Imagery? I never see enough of it.

Y'know, Odysseus, who sailed the world going on grand adventures, always thinking of his little home island to return to. Odysseus, whose main trait was being a wily, clever teller or tales, who would often trick his enemies to win. Odysseus who boldly lied to a Giant to save his crew. Odysseus, who put on a disguise and pretended to be someone else, with only those close to him being able to recognize him, confirming his identity to the rest of the world with a feat of sharpshooter archery!

Or what about Odysseus' main character flaw being his tendency for hubris? Hubris in the original ancient Greek sense (ύβρις); overconfidence and bragging in the face of gods, calling yourself greater than gods even as a mortal, and offending them. Like perhaps claiming you have "8000 Men" under your belt while facing opponents much greater than you, or earning the title of "God" when you're not one. Or more cheekily, calling yourself the "Captain" of your crew in the face of Sun God Nika.

I wonder what Penelope, patiently waiting for Odysseus back home in Ithaca, and rejecting a gaggle of suitors, reminds me of. vvvvv

I'm sure there's something about the Veggie Kids being his Telemachus in there, too.

Thinking about how Chuuya's father-son relationship with Adam plays into the metaphor of 'Child of Adam, which inadvertently proves his humanity and presents the Abel and Cain dynamic with Verlaine. Abel being the younger brother and a shepherd, (King of The Sheep) and them both giving offerings to God (Guivre and Arahabaki), but God only favoring one of them (Chuuya being able to in-part accept his humanity), and Cain killing him in response (Verlaine stripping Chuuya of his loved ones.) It also drives the point home when you think about the fact that Verlaine's kill signature is a white cross made of birch.

please jujutsu kaisen also no yuji itadori megumi fushiguro nobara kugisaki like seriously jjk 268 They deserve it after all the shit they went through rip Sukuna you won't be missed i will miss Uraume though it's a shame that's all we got from the fight between Uraume and Hakari but it's understandable gojo's letters were so cute and funny and Megumi laughing at that made me want to cry THEY'RE FATHER AND SON AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHANT ANYONE SAYS and what's the thing with Nobara's mom? PLEASE Gege explore this and Yuji's complicated family in the next chapters YUTA YOU BETTER BE ALIVE There are enough deaths let some characters alive is not bad Gege overall i liked the chapter Even though he's a great villain i think it's good that Sukuna didn't had a big and spectacular end he's the king of curses and dies in a pathetic way proving that he is not truly superior to others being as he thought like Yuji has been saying for chapters
