Memory Manipulation or Soul Manipulation? — A Jujutsu Kaisen Theory

Most people seems to agree of is Yuji having a memory-based manipulation cursed technique. However, what if it's more than just memory manipulation? I have a theory on how Yuji's cursed technique is something even more potent.

Let's have a short recap. The theory Yuji having a memory-based manipulation cursed technique first rose when these events happened.

It will seem like Yuji is unconciously inserting fake memories in his enemies' minds. Not until Chapter 135 was released and the first thing we see is Choso's POV and him claiming that the effect of his blood technique is him sensing his brothers' "death" through their blood.+

He felt this intense sensation with someone we know isn't related to him. So, I have a hypothesis for it.

1. Mahito's Conviction
I know you're thinking why the heck Mahito is here. But first, hear me out. We know that Mahito's technique, which is the ability of changing one's soul, is possible because of his conviction that the soul came before the body.

Soul = Body.

But what makes up a soul?
Definiton in the picture.

"reason, character, feeling, consciousness, qualia, MEMORY, perception, thinking, etc" Basically, these are what mostly makes up a soul. It's like one of those questions such as: "Does a mind have a body, or the body has a mind?" But this time, we replace the mind with "soul."

Mind = Soul

Soul = Body

In Jujutsu Kaisen, we can think of a soul having two cores: The outer core being the body, and the inner core being the mind (memories, consciousness, etc.) The outer core is the one Mahito is able to manipulate, while the inner core is the one Yuji is able to manipulate.

If the inner core is manipulated, I think it can heavily influence the outer core, which explains why Choso can feel that sensation of Yuji dying. In simple terms, since Yuji unconciously manipulated Choso to thinking that he is his brother, Choso's body also reacted that way. +

-Hence, the sensation.

Another example of the inner core influencing the outer core is Getou's body reacting to Ancestor Noritoshi Kamo. Did Satoru's statement triggered his inner core/soul, that's why his body was able to react? Most likely. And this is where my theory comes in

Conclusion: Soul Manipulation?
My theory is that, Memory Manipulation is a sub-power of Soul Manipulation. Memory manipulation may be an early sign of this Soul Manipulation Cursed Technique I'm talking about. It's not the type of soul manipulation Mahito can do,+

but rather, a much deeper manipulation that Yuji can likely do. Memory manipulation in itself is terrifying. We don't know what Gege has in their mind and that fact makes me scared already but at the same time, anticipating for it. I guess that's all in my theory!
