Even a macaque's life matters
Qingchuan Cang was walking along, playing on his phone, when he saved a set of macaque reaction images. Suddenly everything went black. When he could see again, he and his phone had been transported into the hit anime Jujutsu Kaisen: The Great Ape War.
Looking ahead, he saw the long flight of steps leading up to Tokyo Jujutsu High. Looking behind him, he saw a classmate with long, weird bangs.
Then he checked his cursed technique: "Even a macaque's life matters." It was linked to the "Macaques Rule the World!" app that had mysteriously appeared on his phone and couldn't be deleted. His strength depended entirely on how much the powerful cared about macaques.
Qingchuan Cang, who'd never cared much about macaques before, instantly became a hardcore macaque fan in this dangerous world where people died at the drop of a hat.
He couldn't help turning around to gaze intently at Geto, who had no idea what fate had in store for him.
Geto, you tasteless macaque-hater...
Qingchuan Cang decided to make a determined effort to take down the future leader of the anti-macaque cult.

Qingchuan Cang was a well-known lunatic among jujutsu sorcerers.
Jujutsu sorcerers were already practically synonymous with lunatics, but even among them, Qingchuan Cang's mental state was spectacularly unhinged.
Whether he was swinging down from the sky on a vine, shouting, "Macaques are gonna shoot you dead!" as he fired an RPG at the Heavenly Restriction tyrant who was about to ambush the Star Plasma Vessel, only to blow up the Tombs of the Star and steal away the Star Plasma Vessel while he was at it;
or using his cursed technique to ambush Gojo Satoru, who had declared, "Strawberry cake is better than banana cake. Seriously, what's up with banana cake?" and teleporting him 108,000 miles away, where he landed on and killed a land god curse that his underclassman had been struggling to fight;
or taking a nice nap when the higher-ups accused him and threatened him with the death penalty, then attacking every higher-up indiscriminately when they woke him, calling them "rotten bananas" and controlling them into going outside to perform banana-themed stripteases, before peacefully falling asleep at the empty crime scene;
In short, everyone came to one conclusion: Qingchuan Cang was a lunatic capable of anything.
Only Geto didn't think Qingchuan Cang was crazy.
Qingchuan Cang seemed to be acting insane, but everything he did pointed toward a "happy ending."
"What are you really trying to accomplish by doing all this?" Geto finally couldn't help asking Qingchuan Cang.
When you're acting crazy, you're just acting crazy. You do it because you feel like it. Why would there be a reason? Qingchuan Cang thought carelessly. But when he opened his mouth, he went crazy again. "Of course it's to take over the jujutsu world and spread macaques across the globe."
"Take over the jujutsu world..." Geto repeated the first half, which was strange but not nonsensical, habitually ignoring the bizarre second half.
After a long silence, he said, "I understand. I'll help you."
"...You actually believe me?" Qingchuan Cang stared at Geto as though he were staring at a fellow patient.
He sincerely suggested, "Geto, how about we go see a therapist together sometime? There's a group discount."

A little scene from not long after they started school:
Qingchuan: Geto, this is a gift for you, the complete macaque gift set. Do you like it?
Geto: ...
Qingchuan: Geto, are you happy? If you're happy, why aren't you smiling? Were you born without the ability to smile?
Geto: ...
Qingchuan: Geto, say something. Don't tell me you don't like macaques? Haha, let's change that. I hit a nerve with my friend, but I don't care. It doesn't bother me. It's just a little hard on one of my friends. Not me, of course. I'm looking at it from an outside perspective, and I'm not exactly offended. I just want to be considerate of my friend's feelings.
Qingchuan: Damn it, I'm going to kill you!!!
Geto: ...
Geto: It's been three minutes, and I haven't managed to get a word in.
Qingchuan Cang: Sorry, haha! Anyway, do you like macaques?
Geto: I don't think I really...
Qingchuan: (draws his sword)
Geto: ...I like them.

"Ma lou" is a dialect word used in Guangdong and Guangxi meaning "monkey."
The protagonist originally lived in the same world as Saiki Kusuo. In that world, the series is called The Great Ape War.
The protagonist is Chinese-Japanese mixed, with the Chinese name Qin Cang and the Japanese name Qingchuan Cang. He likes collecting all sorts of weird reaction images. He's handsome, but his mental state is increasingly unstable, and his temper is gradually becoming like that of a mischievous macaque from Mount Emei.
You can't be a jujutsu sorcerer without going crazy.jpg
Befriend Geto, torment Geto, ship with Geto.
Since Geto tends to overthink himself into a corner, why not let him get the wrong idea about Qingchuan Cang, who "seems to have some deeper purpose behind his madness, but also might just be completely crazy. Either way, I'm gonna go crazy"? (Thumbs up)
The story next door about the comedy duo is too wholesome, so I couldn't go crazy there. I've kept my mental state stable for ages, so I'm coming over here to really let loose.
Let's see whose mental state is more beautiful, mine or the protagonist's.
It's 1:30 a.m. on November 16. Inspiration forced me to pry my eyes open in a half-asleep state and crawl out of bed to write this blurb on a cold night. I really don't know what to do with myself. (Wry smile) (Shakes head) (Fondly)

It's so sad, I clearly know these few words, why should I come in [crying]
Let's play Burning Curse. The three of them live their lives as a priority, which is more important than anything else.
It's okay, Satoru is only three years old anyway, and a family of three is better off living a peaceful life than anything else!
As expected, Shi'er is still a scumbag. Cang: Answer the phone, your son is mine, understand?
Yay! Support the non-Shura field! I'm so happy to see this! [Spread flowers][spread flowers]
