Are the Ubuyashikis "Shinto Priests" or "Onmyoji"? The Unknown Relationship Between "Oyakata-sama" and "Curses"
Hi, this is Osamu. The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, "Oyakata-sama," Kagaya Ubuyashiki. He commands the absolute trust of the Corps members, but his existence is shrouded in mystery. What is particularly intriguing is the "curse" that plagues his family and the "true nature" of the role his clan fulfills. The Ubuyashiki family suffers under a terrifying curse—short lifespans—all because they produced the "stain of their clan," Muzan Kibutsuji. To break this curse, they ha

[Demon Slayer & Mythology] Why Was It Set in the Taisho Era? The Twilight of "Darkness" and "Lore" Hidden in Modernization
Hello! This is Osamu, your manga blogger. When you think of the appeal of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba , you probably think of the intense battles, fascinating characters, and the moving theme of family love... But one of the reasons I'm endlessly drawn to this story is its setting . That's right, the Taisho Era . Why was the Taisho era, a brief and tumultuous period of only 15 years, chosen? Not the Heian, Sengoku, or Edo periods? It's the period between the "civilization

Classifying Demon "Blood Demon Art" Using the Dictionary of Magic! The Secrets of the Deceptively Similar "Techniques" in Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer
Hello! I'm Osamu, the manga blogger. Man, lately I've been completely hooked on Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) and Jujutsu Kaisen —two of Japan's proud, top-tier "curse and supernatural" battle manga. It's fascinating how these two series seem similar, yet their portrayal of "techniques" (Jutsu) is completely different, isn't it? While Jujutsu Kaisen features highly "systematized" battles with Domain Expansions and Cursed Technique Reversals, the "Blood Demon Arts" (Kekki

Hello! I'm Osamu, a manga blogger. Today we will be discussing the deep swamp of Jujutsu Kaisen, getting to the heart of it all! As the title suggests, this setting has become common knowledge among fans: **"Gojo Satoru is a descendant of Sugawara no Michizane!"** Do you know how "bad" this is?

Did the curse in "Jujutsu Kaisen" actually exist? A thorough analysis of the original source in the "Magic Dictionary"!
Hello! I'm Osamu, a manga blogger. "Jujutsu Kaisen" is really interesting! Not only are the characters fascinating and the battles spectacular, but the underlying theme of a " curse " gives the story a sense of horror and depth. In the story, "curses" are depicted as "cursed spirits" that are the tangible manifestation of negative human emotions (fear, jealousy, hatred, etc.). Suddenly, I had a thought. "Does the curse in Jujutsu Kaisen have an origin? Maybe it actually

Osamu digs deep! What is "curse power" in "Jujutsu Kaisen"? How is it different from "ki" and "magic power"?
Hello! I'm Osamu, a manga blogger. So far we have dug deep into the origins of the characters and techniques of "Jujutsu Kaisen," but today we would like to take a step further and consider the " cursed energy " itself, which is the core of the work! Fantasy works feature powers such as "mana" and Chinese works feature powers such as "ki," but how is the "cursed power" in "Jujutsu Kaisen" similar to these, and how is it different? With my favorite book, "Magic Dictionary"
