Does anyone else find it cute how Geto overtook the cult that killed Riko his home?

Despite all the evidence that supports the theory of Gojo saying "I love you" to Geto, I have a hard time believing that only because there's no way that they've never said that to each other at least once (using the words 'at least' very loosely here) like it has to be something more profound. Based on Gege's writing, Gojo probably said something similar to what Yuji said to Megumi.

writing about side characters is always fun because even though there're limited information to use, it allows so much free space to guess
and I can use other side characters to help build my theories surrounding said character

I always get confused whenever people use the "nah, I'd win" joke because Gojo didn't win 😭 so that would imply that you would do the opposite of what you're saying 😭

When you first meet Akari Nitta and Ino Takuma, they both seem like they're doing just fine, but it had me wondering what their past was because I was thinking that since it's said that being a Jujutsu sorcerer is mentally damaging and enrolling new students is super rare, what if there were former Jujutsu High sorcerers? Who was in their past?
It is canon that fourth year students exist and if Hakari and Kirara are third years (both being aged 17-18), then we can also assume that the fourth years are somewhat close in age to Takuma and Akari, Takuma is 21 😚 and Akari is 20. In Jujutsu Kaisen, you may have noticed that there are a lot of similar names (ex. Gojo and Jogo, Suguru and Satoru, I just realized that Akari and Hakari are similar too lol) so maybe one of the fourth years has a name that's similar to Takuma or Ino Takuma. Another theory: Hakari and Kirara could be third years due to the fact that they were suspended so they couldn't move forward in their school year (not repeating, because Gege said that Hakari didn't repeat a school year in a fanbook/qna thing), if that's the case, then that would mean that Hakari and Kirara, in theory, are the fourth years or two of the fourth years.
Akari decided to become a manager in Jujutsu High in order to keep an eye on her brother, Arata Nitta, who went to Jujutsu High, Kyoto like his sister, who graduated from Jujutsu High, Kyoto, which I find interesting as it adds to her lore. I like to think that she and her brother are what Megumi and Tsumiki would be like if Tsumiki could see curses too. Do you ever think that maybe Akari and Takuma have met before while Takuma was defending his school in Goodwill events lol?
I genuinely feel like we would need to know how Takuma met Nanami and when exactly Takuma started idolizing him because that would give us an opportunity to understand his high school life because I don't believe that if he wasn't an only student, he would only care about Nanami while his other classmates were out there dying lol, but that's just my personal opinion of him. Obviously we know that Takuma was affected pretty badly from Nanami's death, but looking at his reaction, he looked more serious than sad and even when he was using Nanami's weapon to fight Sukuna, he, again, looked more serious. Maybe that's how he controls his emotions and maybe that's why he's depicted as this light-hearted guy when you first meet him. Although, if he was an only student, Nanami's death might've been the first sorcerer death that he has ever experienced.
Anyway, I love learning about them as they're the only early 20 year olds in Jujutsu Kaisen, I especially love how accurate Gege wrote them as how an early 20 year old would act (the unsure, but I'll keep trying anyway mindset lol) and I just wanted to have a little mini celebratory moment for these aged characters because I personally feel like seeing someone my age in anime is super rare.

I know that people are saying that Nobara's comeback was so sudden, but have we forgotten that Gege will probably include a flashback scene in the next chapter because that's how he writes

I'm going to miss Jujutsu Kaisen, I honestly wish that I could've joined in when it first came out, this one's for sure my favorite shounen anime. I wish that it lasted forever and ever like One Piece lol, but you know, can't win them all. I hope that chapters could at least be long as fuck. please don't end it Gege.

Why I think Geto's "meaning" is love and why Gojo failed to really understand him.
As I was writing the last chapter for my fic, I thought a lot about what Geto meant when he talked about "meaning" in the infamous KFC break-up scene. "You can kill me, there would be meaning in that."
Here is my theory : First of all, we know that as a teenager, he thought that being a sorcerer was meaningful because "the strong must protect the weak." I saw a lot of people interpret that as him meaning that the strong are responsible for the weak, due to their strength.
While I don't think that's what Geto meant by it, I do think that's how Gojo interpreted it.
Tumblr media
See, Gojo was raised to become a sorcerer because he is strong. His strength is the justification for his exploitation since birth (the recent Gojo interview having confirmed that he was working even as a child.) He's also been brainwashed into thinking he tipped the balance of the universe and has to set it straight. So to him, although he's initially pissed off that he has to bear this responsibility, he interprets what Suguru says this way because it makes sense to him.
Gojo's moral compass will, inspired by Geto (but not properly understood), be focused on this idea of responsibility. That's why he kills Toji before he becomes dangerous, and that's why he takes Megumi and Tsumiki in not long after. That's why he became a teacher, because he felt responsible to make sure what happened to Geto doesn't happen again. That's Gojo's strength, but also his weakness. He doesn't really question the dangers his students face for most of the manga because he believes that they are also responsible for the weak (he's morally grey partly because of that).
However, what Geto actually means by it is that a society in which the strong don't protect the weak is a failing society because it is a society without love. It means we let the weak die just because they can't fight for themselves. He is correct, as many historians believe the first sign of civilization is a healed femur, a proof that we cared enough to protect someone until they healed.
When Gojo and Geto are friends, this difference in 'reason for being sorcerers' doesn't impact them negatively. When they protect Riko together, Gojo thinks he has a responsibility to let her make her own choice and help her, since she is weak compared to him. Geto, on the other hand, does it because he's grown attached to Riko. It works out. (Initially he agrees to it because he loves Gojo and wants to please him, he's the biggest simp fr.)
However when Riko dies and the cult claps they consequently analyze the situation very differently. Gojo asks Geto : Should I kill them ? (Meaning, I'm the strongest, it is my responsibility to kill curses and dangerous people). Geto tells him there would be no meaning in that, which means no love. Gojo would only be doing it because he has to, but it wouldn't save Riko, it wouldn't help anyone at the moment.
Tumblr media
But then, while Gojo goes on thinking of this as his failure (he didn't protect someone he was responsible for), to Geto this event is life-altering. To someone who does things because of love, the idea that there could be people who clap for a kid's death, that Gojo almost died because Toji needed money, it's a brutal realization that they are being used. (Geto is kinda innocent for not realizing that sooner, Gojo isn't as naive.)
I think the whole "monkey" thing, refers to his understanding that non-sorcerers have a utilitarian relationship to sorcerers. They use them, they let them die. Even if most of them are unaware of that fact. To Geto, that makes them inferiors (unloving).
It also ties to Geto's deep-rooted feeling of being unloved (from his childhood I imagine, although we don't know that for sure, the fact that he killed his parents can't be random.) That's why when Gojo distances himself from him, he's deeply hurt by that.
Then Haibara dies and Geto, I think, gets even deeper into this spiral of anxiety that he will die unloved. At this point he's already suicidal, having lost what he thinks is his reason to live (+ his bff, who he doesn't understand anymore). But to know that two kids younger than him died as mere tools makes him realize that he will die like that too.
Then he finds Nanako and Mimiko, and he decides to love them. Since it's his way of functioning, it works for him. He can finally kill the people he hates, it is justified. There is a reason and a meaning to it (his daughters / the young sorcerers that he would save.)
Tumblr media
He leaves Satoru with a last piece of philosophy, in two parts.
"Are you Satoru Gojo because you are the strongest, or are you the strongest because you are Satoru Gojo ?" To him Gojo is by definition associated with love. So what he's asking him is, is love driving you to become strong, or are you just willing to let them use you for your strength like a tool, give their meaning to your life ? Gojo has the wrong answer to this question (still does until the end)
"You could kill me, there would be meaning to that." Love, he means there would be love in that. Geto is willing to be killed by Satoru. He wants to die by his hand, because that would mean his life has meaning, and that he was killed for love (because Gojo didn't want to let him become a monster.)
That brings us to JJK0, when Suguru is acting all insane and attacks Gojo's student. I think he expected to die by Gojo's hand long ago, and he hates himself more and more with each passing days. There is no real love in what he's doing, it doesn't work for him and the system remains the same.
So he declares war and attacks Gojo's students, hoping Gojo will kill him (unconsciously.)
In the end, he gets to give his life "meaning" by dying by Gojo's hand. The person he loves preventing him from becoming a monster. It is love, and it is a curse.
Tumblr media
As soon as he sees Gojo he is relieved. He is so ready to die by his hand. That's what he's been waiting for all along.
Gojo still believes he has to do it because it's his responsibility. He doesn't get it. He thinks he's giving justice, when in fact, he's giving mercy.
Which is also why I think Gojo says some version of "I love you" in that scene. I just know Geto got exactly what he wanted before he died, reassurance in every way, "meaning."
I could go on as to why it's also these differences in philosophy that made them love each other, but this is about to become a book SO.

Perhaps Love is the greatest curse there is was the truth for Gojo and Geto because they couldn't be selfless.
Geto never got over the death of Riko or Haibara. He never got the chance and the space and the freedom to grieve and mourn. Not even for himself and the way he completely got exploited by the Jujutsu society and the higher ups. Instead he lashed out in violence. He saved his twins but in doing so he doomed them just the same. He brought them into his cult, made them an important part of the jujutsu world. And then Shibuya happened and they died, a death no less painful and horrific and unfair just as Haibara and Amanai had.
Gojo was separated from his family, his parents, the ones who could give him community and love in a personal, intimate, earnest way. All he had was the Gojo clan and the older sorcerers, to show him how to become the greatest. Gojo wasn't appreciated as a baby simply for being a new life, a little kid worthy of love and play and silliness. He was the Gojo heir with the limitless and the six eyes. That's all he knew. So he took Megumi under his wing. He tried to be the good mentor/father/whatever you want figure for him. He took his anger out on the higher ups. The ones who actively utilized and benefited from the exploitation of children jujutsu sorcerers. He tried to give his students good moments but never a good life. How could he when all he knew was jujutsu and its world? He did the best he could considering his own frame of reference.
But Megumi and Yuji are different.
Megumi was always meant to be brought to this point. Toji tried to spare him from a life in poverty by dooming him into a life in the Zen'in clan. And that was earnestly what he thought to be best. The discrimination Toji faced, the abuse wouldn't be a problem for his son. His inheritance was what the clan needed. What he was to them was the Ten shadows user.
Gojo didn't manage to save him either. Sure the Zen'ins are abusive and patriarchal and restrictive and a bad place to grow into. But that can be said for the jujutsu world in its entirety. Gojo gave mentorship and care and love, and tried to offer good moments and opportunities to create good memories. Because that's all he had left from Suguru. But of course... Megumi being a jujutsu sorcerer was what led him to meet Sukuna and get used.
Yuji was raised as a regular kid. He only just now got into jujutsu. Only now made such a strong bond with someone. He's lost so many friends already, he and Megumi both lost Nobara, he lost Junpei and Nanami, and his own grandfather. But his goal has never been to exorcise or punish or defeat or prevail. All he wanted was to give people meaningful deaths. To help, to love, to understand, to be there and offer tranquility and closure. He fights not for himself or amy external reason. He fights not to avenge. He fights to help. He is selflesh, a boy with unshakeable morals. And if that means putting himself second that's what he'll do.
"I would be lonely without you" he says and that's it. He never asked or tried to force or guilt megumi into anything. He says he'll always fight for him. He understands how difficult everything has been for megumi, how devastating his situation is, how hurt and in so much pain he's been. And he understands. He is there. He empathises. He feels just as sad for him. He wants to help him. So he gives him the choice he's been deprived of for so long. He'll always be there for megumi... Megumi means so much. He'll miss him. But selflessly he'll give him space. He loves megumi and he's not afraid to let go. That doesn't mean he'll abandon him. But it means he puts him first.

On the topic of shipping, if you've been exploring the JJK fandom enough, you'll notice how weird shipping can get. like really fucking weird.
But--here comes the 'but'--as someone who's familiar with stan culture. shipping used to mean any type of relationship and sometimes there's more than two people involved. So yes, even if you see a drawing of two or more characters who aren't canonically siblings, but you feel like they have a sibling relationship, that is a type of shipping.
It could be just anime shipping culture that relates shipping with romance, I'm not super into anime, admittedly, but I don't believe that anime stan culture is that far behind stan culture in general.
But it is definitely, for sure wrong if there is an illegal, romantic ship. Does that make sense?
