THIS PANEL IS SO HAUNTING BC ON THIS PAGE GOJO IS MONOLOGUING ABOUT HIS DREAM WHICH IS TO RESET JUJUTSU SOCIETY (jujutsu kaisen means "the inevitable war among curse practitioners") AND HE SAYS IT WOULD BE EASY TO KILL EVERY IMBICILE AT THE TOP OF JUJUTSU SOCIETY but that wouldn't resolve anything because more would take their place. but on this panel he says basically that change will only happen in this method of "raising strong allies from childhood"

I'm about to cry? I'm... so deeply moved and horrified and touched bc in the original panels and jp you can just FEEL the preparations for war and the title so much more imminently than watching the anime or jjk's shitstain embarrassment of a translation.

the inevitable is a "emotive" translation of the 廻 kanji in 呪術廻戦 which is a variant of 回 which has the meaning of a slow revolution like an orbit, the kind of cyclic incidence of "once very thousand years" just like sukuna's manifestation right now in the time of jjk

but BECAUSE it is a 1000-year cycle it is "inevitable"
