Jujutsu Kaisen presents a world where curses and sorcery collide, with the Disaster Curses being the most terrifying manifestations of nature. Not just monstrous entities but heavily based on human fears and tragedies. However, the latest Jujutsu Kaisen theory suggests that the Disaster Curses might have been true humans themselves.
The whole concept becomes very interesting in chapter 269, where a threatening talk between the characters implies that there might not be much of a difference between Disaster Curses and humans. It encourages readers to think again about the definition of a human and the truth that defines these beings.

How Disaster Curses could be more human than humans themselves in Jujutsu Kaisen, explained
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269 unfolds as a contrast between the Disaster Curses and the Jujutsu sorcerers. This may open up an eye-opening truth that the Disaster Curses may represent true humanity, more so than the sorcerers themselves.
Trending
Despite all the losses these sorcerers suffer, they talk about fallen comrades in cold strategic terms. For instance, they treat the death of their companions as statistical points without much emotional reflection on their fateful endings.
On the other hand, Disaster Curses show sorrow and devotion for each other, Jogo grieves for Hanami, and the way Dagon also displays a response shows loss and bonding.
Even in the revenge for Dagon, Jogo shows his strong connection for them, which depicts the worry of family love. However, Mahito, with all the cruelty towards humanity, is aloof; this basically reflects the apathy of humans for their kind in the face of war.
The care that the Disaster Curses give to each other, and the emotional detachment of the sorcerers, bring a striking difference. Maybe the Curses symbolize the better, more humane part of humans.
The sad fact is that the dialogue in this chapter feels so cold further proving that the sorcerers have lost their basic humanity in the pursuit of power and survival, whereas ironically, the Curses seem to possess more human qualities.
Final thoughts
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269 shakes the conventional views of humanity, whereby possibly the Disaster Curses are more human in nature than the sorcerers who have not shown much emotional attachment to the issue of death. When the bodies of their companions keep piling up, they treat their deaths as a strategy, but the Curses actually care for each other, and they are full of grief over what has happened.
The contrast raises very thought-provoking questions on the true nature of humanity by throwing light on the irony that monstrous people might, in fact, represent the more compassionate side of humans. This opens invitations to revisit one's understanding of what it really means to be human.
