I've been reading this book about Shintō practices and this part about the Imperial Regalia of Japan (mirror, jewel, and sword) is interesting because the virtues they represent remind me a lot of the natures of the JJK first-year trio. Like the mirror's impartial honesty is >>

similar to Nobara's brutal honesty when judging others and indifference towards gender roles, the jewel's benevolent obedience is kinda like Megumi's desire to save good people by playing his role as a jujutsu sorcerer, and the sword's strong decision is like Yuji's strong >>
