So fun fact, the author recently had an interview where they did a strange thing and spoiled the hell out of their own series.

For non spoiler stuff details like Geto was a homage to Sensui, but while Akutani was emotionally invested with Sensui, he was unable to find himself invested with Geto. Toudo was based on Kenpachi Zaraki from Bleach. The Death Painting fights are some of his favorites, however death paintings 4 to 9 are not special grade and won't show up during the serialization. Story is about at the halfway point, and he thinks there are about 2 more years left in it.

For something funny he was asked about Sukuna's interest in Megumi, and proceeded to giveaway everything. Saying exactly why Sukuna let him live, why he is interested and some other details. The people airing the interview apparently felt he gave away too much and censored his answers to the questions.

But he actually brought up the fake memories thing which I consider a spoiler and it was not censored. Namely he shot down your theories. The fake memories are not part of Yuji or Sukuna's abilities or any kind of technique. A direct quote "The false memories aren't foreshadowing or reference to any technique. Toudo and Choso both see the memories that never existed for different reasons.
