Everyone always overlooks this scene in Naoya’s flashback and hops straight into Toji aura farming, but I’d like to take the opportunity to try and do this justice.

In this flashback, we see a much, much younger version of Naoya. He can’t be more than 12 years old. Immediately, there is something that the directors are trying to show us as an audience; Everything is yellow. The background and Naoya himself is just yellow. Yellow is associated with emotions such as optimism, warmth, energy, creativity, and intellect. These qualities are in stark contrast to the Naoya we know, which gives you as an audience member an unsettling feeling.

Taking a look at Naoya, he seems happy. Not only that, but there’s a childlike innocence. Again, the dissonance between kid Naoya and Naoya adds to the unsettling feeling. I believe that this is Gege’s way of saying, “Villains aren’t born, they’re made.” Naoya was spoon-fed propaganda from a young age about all of his current ideals. He is made into the monster he is because of how he was treated. This is supported by what he says before he meets Toji. “Everyone says I’m a genius!” “I’m going to be the head of the clan after my father!” He was being gassed up all of the time, which explains why he’s so egotistical and overconfident.

Honestly this might be a hot take but I think he might’ve had the capacity to surpass even Sukana or Gojo. His growth was insane for such a short time. He had extremely high battle iq, was able to transfigure over 1000 humans, copied Gojo's 0.2 DE with no prior experience, learned black flash RIGHT AFTER THAT, was able to combine moves like Soul Multiplicity and Body Repel, and learned the true essence of his soul. His acceleration in strength was so rapid that it was genuinely almost terrifying when I watched season 2 for the first time. Truly a potential man ahead of his time

PEAAAAAAAAAAAAK

Essentially, I want to construct a 6 foot rook (don’t ask why) and I was wondering what would be the best way to connect the cans together. I assume it would be hot glue, but if there’s a method or technique I’m not aware of, could someone let me know?
