Chapter 149 was a very sad story.
Mai died for Maki, and Maki’s Heavenly Restriction was awakened.
Chapter 149 was about their sisterhood.
After reading chapter 149, I can’t stop crying when I look back at the story.,,
This time, I’ll write about Maki and Mai.
Maki and Mai are identical twins

They are identical twins.
And according to Mai, Cursed Techniques treat identical twins as one individual.
So Mai created a sword for Maki and died.
She also took her Cursed Energy with her, so Maki got 0 Cursed Energy.
In a sad sacrifice, Maki gained the same physicality as Toji.
In the fan book, it said that Maki gained the same physicality as Toji by throwing away something.
But what she threw away to do so was too much…
According to the Fanbook, Maki gets the same physicality as Toji by throwing something away.
And she threw away everything except the sword that Mai created.
The she got Toji’s
Then she gained Toji’s physicality…What a painful empowerment😭#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/EWx9pcNseQ

And now that Maki has the same physicality as Toji, she looks just like Toji.
Maki even got the same haircut as Toji…!!#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/rLq8csB0L4

Mai calls Maki “big sister”

Mai called Maki “big sister” just before she died.
In chapter 41, Maki told Mai to call her “big sister,” but I didn’t expect that the first time she called her “big sister” was right before she died.

It’s too sad.
Maki and Mai’s names
Their names are a good representation of their circumstances.
Maki and Mai share the same letter “真 (Ma)”.
However, the other character is different.
This is the meaning of their names.
The meaning of Maki and Mai’s names is impressive😭
Maki’s Ki (希) means “Hope”.
Mai’s I (依) means “Help” or “Love”.Maki became Mai’s hope.
And Mai helped Maki with love…#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/N38UYok7f4— Kyle Anime Scouter (@kylescouter) May 24, 2021
The character “依 (I)” in Mai also means dependence.
At first, I thought she was named that because she was dependent on Maki.
But it actually had a different meaning.
The Direction of the Animation
Watching episode 14 of anime now, I can’t stop crying over the direction.
I can’t stop crying watching JJK anime now😭
Maki and Mai are always contrasted in a dark and light…
They were made to be one in two…What a painful direction😢#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/AhjBzq7NWN

So in anime, the two were contrasted.
And it shows that they are one in two.
There are a lot of other directions about them, look at my Twitter.
After Mai’s death, Maki’s tone became softer.
It’s clearly different in Japanese.“起きて (Get up)”
“始めるよ (Let’s start)”
She’s never said it in this way before.Mai’s death changed her…😭#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/70rD7ajY0g

Construction uses an immense amount of Cursed Energy.
So Mai needed to use the Cursed Energy that Maki had as well.
That’s why she kissed Maki and received her Cursed Energy!!#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/nGRILE6eS0— Kyle Anime Scouter (@kylescouter) May 23, 2021
The bird drawn in Ch.149 is a wild goose.
Which is a migratory bird.They fly in groups in a V-shape to reduce air resistance.
They cooperate with each other to migrate.This is showing Maki and Mai helping each other😭#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/B7hZagoFao

Maki said that she would not let go of Mai in ch.42.
And Maki won’t let go the sword that Mai created…What a painful foreshadowing😭#JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/qxwr1oxEhk

Chapter 149 was a really sad but wonderful chapter.
I’m glad that Maki became so strong, but I was more sad that she died.
Maki is going to destroy the Zenin Clan next…?
There have been a lot of painful stories lately, so I hope we get some happy stories soon.
Thank you for reading!!!
