Hello, minna-san. I am back again with another blog. So, this time it will be different as I will be doing some kind of reflection on the things that I have learned before. Basically, this will be my first time doing a POV-type blog. I am hoping that you will find this interesting, because honestly speaking when I was writing this, it literally made me so calm to the point that I wanted you guys to learn from it as well. And since it is still my vacation, so there is no paperwork for now, there are a lot of ideas that keep on popping out in my mind. Thus, I have decided to come up with this blog to accumulate these ideas into something meaningful. Let me end this chit-chat now, and let’s get into it!

❀ꨵᰰᮀ◌Kokoro’s POV

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

After I saw a book that talks about childbirth while we were wandering in the abandoned town, it really caught my attention. That is why I tend to grab it and hide it from my comrades. As I was reading it, at first it did not make any sense, it really made me so curious as to what all of it means.  Although there comes a point that I have to ask someone, especially the Adults, I doubt that they will provide me an answer and besides, they might confiscate the book, so I really have to keep it secret. As time ed by, it has come to my attention what it feels like to procreate. I do not know why, but there is something that urges me to do it even though it scares me. And it still remains questionable to me where all of us came from? But no matter what will happen, I shall find the answer to it as I have been thinking of it for a long time.

I think it is now clearer to me.

To think that we have the capability to make a child, why does Papa hinder us to know all of this? Now I am starting to doubt what has been told to us by our Papa. I mean, in the first place, I do not think it is possible if we are all created by him. There is definitely something suspicious about it. However, it does not matter, I have to act as if I am not hiding any secret and also, in accordance with what has been ordered from us, or else I am doomed. Then I should find the answer all by myself. But at the same time, I am kind of worried as I cannot act on my own. Who can I trust with all of this? Should I tell this to Mitsuru? I know I can trust him with this. As our friendship continues to grow more and becomes mature, I can tell that we have a bond that is already strong and stable. Whenever he is piloting my FRANXX, I really feel at ease, and I am also very comfortable with him. He is someone that I can be with, and I want to spend more time with him as he brings out the best in my personality and character.

As time goes by, the feeling of intimacy suddenly appears like I am being struck by lightning out of blue. I became more and more fascinated by what was written in the book. However, it was so dumb of me to suddenly decide to do a forbidden act with him. I made him startled and scared. Perhaps, I should give him time to decide. I wonder what he thinks of me. Do I now look weird to him? It does not get out of my mind. I just suddenly want to cry with hatred towards myself. Luckily, as time ed by, I finally made Mitsuru do it with me. That was the night where I felt satisfied. I can feel him inside of me. Is it the feeling of joy that I am currently experiencing? I am still confused as to what this unexplainable feeling is, but no matter what it is I am so genuinely happy.

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

But why does it feel like I am wrong?

I know things were never meant to be this way, but it was never wrong to procreate. I am aware that it was selfish of me to make Mitsuru do it with me, so it is my sole responsibility, and please do not punish him. To think that we only want to change the perspectives of others in regard to having a child, why do we need to suffer from this? To the point that you did take all the memories that I wanted to cherish. You have no idea what makes that event so special in my entire life because that day we were able to overcome our fears as we unravel the truth behind that book. I felt so miserable and agony as I do not what happened before. Whenever I see Misturi, it only feels so familiar, and I cannot comprehend what I feel towards him.

Sadly, all the emotions that I felt for him are gone. And at the same time, I can only feel that there is someone within my womb. I always get sick, before I knew I was indeed pregnant. I am starting to get confused because I do not know what to do anymore. However, I have already decided that I will give birth to my child. I do not want to get her aborted and besides, having this child of mine is not a mistake. She is the product of the love that her father and I share with each other. I want her to live and decide on what she wants in her life. And I want to be there for her as I guide her towards the path that she wants to take. All I can say I am satisfied and so happy like it is an everlasting euphoria, on this blessing that was given to me and to my husband.

Throughout the series, Kokoro is such a gentle, caring, loving person, and has this optimistic personality which I ire a lot. The kindness of her heart is being liked by her comrades. However, in the first part of the series, I have seen that she cannot speak up for herself on what she really wants to say, which is something that I personally experience in my life. But I liked her bravery, especially the way she never gave up on doing something in order for her to achieve what she truly desired even though it is risky. I am aware that she was not able to experience the love of a mother and at the same time, who has been through a difficult past. Despite that, she keeps on being optimistic and was able to manage in deciding the hardest decision in her life, whether she will abort her child or not, which is no doubt, it takes a lot of courage. I also like the way Kokoro has grown over time in the series, from being a timid person to becoming someone who can speak up for herself who can manage to stand head high.

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

All human life is precious, including that which is yet born. To think that Kokoro still chooses to give birth to her child even though others are against is something that is the most heartfelt in the series. Others often see the one-sidedness of the situation through thinking only of the bad consequences of having a child, however, if we see beyond the significance of it, the means of giving life, we can see the beauty that is being manifested into it. The fact that Kokoro thinks that she is just more than just Parasite, but rather someone who can be a mother to her child, no wonder she inspires me to formulate or to arrive at a rational conception of what we truly are, of what we stand for, and of our relationship to our fellowmen. Her brave soul that she is willing to take risks just to know the truth behind those that were bothering her mind is what makes her outstanding in all the characters. I personally see her as the one who lives with a sense of purpose and meaning. In that way, she must be someone that must serve as an inspiration to all of us.

❀ꨵᰰᮀ◌Yuji Itadori’s POV

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

I have been asking myself this time if I am still worth existing for? It is almost like I became a threat to everyone after knowing that I ate the finger of Ryomen Sukuna. They think of me as a monster or some kind of demon that must be perished in this world. To be honest, I have really no bad intentions on why I immediately took it. I cannot stand and just wait for something miraculously to happen when Megumi is on the verge of death as he fights the Curse, despite the first time seeing him in my life.

The fact that I have these superhuman physical abilities which is why I obtained the title of being known as “The Tiger of West Junior High” is not sufficient in order to save my senpais and help Megumi. I had no other choice, and I did not have time to think twice if I was going to eat or not, all I wanted was to save them from death and to prevent the Curse from having further casualties. Because I hold onto my grandfather's dying wish that I must save and help others. The death of the one that I truly loved left me with his wise words that will always remain in my heart and mind, as well as will forever push me to value everyone’s life.

But why is the whole world so against me?

It is like I committed a very grave sin although I just wanted to help and to feel no burden from fighting a Curse. I still do not fathom it, since my intention was not to kill people, but rather to exorcise the Curse itself. This heart-wrenching emotion that I felt when I see someone suffers is one thing that I abhor. I do not want to feel any constant pain, since it is already difficult for me right after I accept this loneliness that I encounter after everything that is dear to me left me. I do not care what life throws at me. Whenever I hear someone cry for help, I will be there with a smile that carves on my face and a calming expression amidst the calamity caused by these Curses. I was never worried about myself as I already know the purpose of my life. The world of sorcery that I finally entered, no matter what dangerous I might face in the future, I will do it for myself, to my deceased grandfather, and to all the people who have no means to save themselves.

I know I am weak.

I could not imagine if ever Sukuna that is within me was not there when we are being attacked by a Special Grade Curse. I have been calling out his name asking for help, and I am fully aware that I am bothersome to him. The feeling of animosity when finally he came out to my body makes me want to be shallow by this awkwardness. But I have to do it, to save Megumi and Nobara, as they are the only ones that are left to me and even though our powers combined, we still do not stand against that Curse. The only way to get them safe is through escaping.

Someday for sure, I will also be a ray of light by becoming a great sorcerer without relying on the power of Sukuna. As I do not want any people that surround me struggling, just because I am not capable of doing so. Life always gets tough, and I have this fragile feeling that is inflicted within me-- the feeling of being vulnerable, cursed, or unlucky, whenever I am always stuck with these unfortunate circumstances. But no matter what will happen, I have to be strong enough to withstand any storm that I might encounter in my life. I have to believe in my own abilities and persuade myself that I am stronger than any Curses in order to save everyone again.

----------------

Yuji Itadori is so genuine and pure in his desire to do no harm to other people. In fact, he is someone that I look up to as he sees everyone dear to him even if they are all total strangers to him. In other words, he is willing to sacrifice his life in order to save some innocent people, no matter how deep or shallow his connection to them. While others are so against his existence after consuming Sukuna’s finger, the mere fact that Yuji still chooses to save someone’s life never ceases to amaze me. Throughout the series, I have seen his ion and desire to protect the people with the hope to be accepted by the higher-ups. Whenever he is not able to rescue someone, he will definitely burn with guilt and easily get frustrated. In this atrocious world where cruelty is inevitable, Yuji is someone who can bravely withstand any obstacles that he will encounter during any fight no matter what it takes.

“Humans should revere life and accept death.”

Letting someone take another human’s life while preventing himself from getting harm, never occurred to him even though it will be risky to save them. He is someone that I know who stands up for the Value of Life principle. This only means that he believes that one’s life should not be threatened, that no life should be ended without very strong justification. This will also apply to the decision of Kokoro not getting an abortion. I do ire him a lot because he sees every individual that should never be treated merely as means, but rather as a peculiar as well as an individual ends in themselves. With that being said, no wonder he is someone that reminds me to do something on what I think is morally right and, in that way, he will definitely contribute for the common good of the people by ensuring their safety, that is also why he really suits to become a Jujutsu sorcery. In addition, it will somehow alleviate his frustrations of not saving others.

❀ꨵᰰᮀ◌Final Thoughts

What really motivates me to write this is because of my professor in Ethics. And I wanted to relate some of my learnings to the anime characters that somehow reflect on what has been taught to us. To think that life is so precious that one must know the significance of it is something that I wanted to emphasize here. By that, I also added some of the ethical principles that perfectly fit based on what I observed while I am watching them. I may not be able to indicate a detailed explanation for every scenario, but I do hope you get the points on my overall thoughts and perceptions in regard to it. So, with that, I do hope that you guys enjoy reading this.

Hountoni Arigatou Gozaimasu!
