hbd suguru ! ❄️☕

[camiadels]

Okay I know there are a bunch of posts examining Suguru's "At least curse me a little before the end" and whatever it was that Satoru said to him but this isn't a take I've seen yet so here goes:

What if... "At least curse me a little" wasn't meant in the surface level sense of "at least say something cruel to me and prove I'm still your enemy." What if it wasn't meant in the sense of Suguru knowing what Rika was to Yuta and encouraging Satoru to make him stay in that way.

What if it was an admonishment. What if, yes, Suguru knew what Rika was to Yuta and expected Satoru's last words to curse him in that sense... but it didn't work. And Suguru could tell it didn't work.

Rika was bound to Yuta by their intense love for one another, by a raw, pure emotion. Maybe whatever Satoru said was an attempt to recreate that phenomenon. But nobody knows cursed spirits better than Suguru, and Suguru's last words are to gently admonish Satoru for failing to do so, because he could tell that it hadn't worked. If it was an "I love you" maybe it wasn't earnest enough; maybe the feelings were too old and tired and complicated. If it was a "we'll see each other again" maybe there was a note of dread to it rather than the genuine hope of a reunion. Whatever was said simply wasn't enough, somehow. The Strongest Sorcerer couldn't work up the pure untainted emotion to lay a curse on his old friend; out of either love or hate. And Suguru could tell.

And his response - after the surprise of whatever was said, was to laugh. Laugh at Satoru's final failed attempt to get him to stay. But gently, with a smile, like he always did. Because he was so well-versed with Satoru's dramatic bullshit. It caught him off guard, got him flustered a bit, but he wasn't wholly surprised it didn't work. "At least curse me a little. At least say something genuine enough to do that to me. But you couldn't, could you?"

Shortly after, Satoru calls love "the most twisted curse of all." And sure, we can guess why. It turns people into monsters, literal and figurative. But in this sense, there's another layer of meaning. He calls it a twisted curse, compared to everything else he's experienced, and he's expressing that contempt for it because it didn't work. Not for him. "Love is the most twisted curse" is a bitter admission of failure in this interpretation. We know Satoru isn't too fond of things that escape his control or influence (see: his contempt for jujutsu society regulations in the flashback arc, and his known dislike and distrust of the society admins in the present). He could neither break nor master that curse, so he derides it as twisted, and in doing so he implicitly forsakes ever invoking it again.
