let me tell you more about this. the nephilim are fallen angels who have lived with humans for a while. they taught them various secrets-secrets, magic, and everything else that humanity did not even know about. but the nephilim were huge, so they eventually started eating people

i can't sleep, because basically sukuna can show itadori the real side of people.

i mean, yes, most likely his plan is sharpened to first break the faith-hope-love of yuuji, to saw down the roots of this huge oak, to suck out all (absolutely all) emotions and feelings, so that itadori doesn't have any strength or desire for anything at all

now imagine that sukuna, with his hideous great strength, capabilities, and everything else, shows itadori the real side of people. that people are essentially two in one: the good and the bad. that some guy behind the wall is beating up a child, that an old woman is jealous of the young people to the point of gnashing her teeth and gets discouraged 'cause it seems to her that she lived life wrong from the very beginning. and itadori hears it all, itadori sees it all, itadori feels it all

yes, sukuna may not be directly involved in itadori's nocturnal nightmares, but he is happy to let in these visions, the sounds of people cursing, so that yuuji can't sleep properly, can't eat properly, can't live normally. to make yuuji feel guilty, lost, confused ALL the time. and sukuna constantly whispers to him "is this what you want? do you still want to save the motherfuckers'lives? do you see how deceitful they are? do you see what kind of scum they are? you do realize, don't you, that they're only good for pig food? that they can only be pushed around, and nothing more?"

and itadori is literally forced to look at the ambivalent nature of people, itadori is literally stuffed with this damn power, just 'cause some evil old grandfather inside him is bored. itadori is actually ready to curse his own grandfather, who said those damn words to him before he died. itadori is tired of dying, constantly, every damn time, physically or mentally, because of sukuna, because of his thoughts, because of what he is forced to see. and sukuna likes it. sukuna is a fucking energy vampire

and sukuna constantly, CONSTANTLY tells itadori that people are not worth fighting for. that people aren't worth a damn. that people are lying lice. that people can never be understood. that people should never be trusted. that people are just cashing in on each other, selfishly building their own hopes and dreams. that people say that going over their heads is bad, but all the same, all the damn people live like this

sukuna constantly assures itadori that the curses are actually the only ones who can be trusted 'cause their motives are clear and understandable. sukuna constantly tells itadori that this division into people and curses is very, very wrong 'cause the real curses in this world are people. sukuna constantly tells itadori that people are just lazy, that people are just selfishly holding on to life, when it is really worthless

do you know what's the most disgusting thing about it?

yes, of course, everyone has already said that sukuna in previous chapters smiled most likely because he felt megumi nearby, but this doesn't justify his non-appearance after itadori's "death" (even if yuuta almost immediately turned on his reverse technique)

so he either realized that yuuta was bluffing about itadori's "execution" beforehand, or that sukuna was just like a devoted lover putting on makeup-dresses-all-the-other-shit for a date with megumi
