#i know gege hates gojo but this is ridiculous. reducing your most complex character to whatever this is

[kikuism]

again this all goes back to something i've complained about jjk forever now but the way gege does not focus on the emotional aftermath of major events is a detriment to me and i know he's plot focused not character focused but this chapter was the downtime for them to reflect on what's happened and who they've lost and what to do now going forward but no. surely with two chapters of the manga left you'd expect to see some emotional ramifications for everything that's happened? but we're just going to act like gojo's death meant nothing. as if he didn't do everything he could for his students to ensure they had the best chance possible against sukuna, and the way he's been a constant, supportive presence for them throughout. and isn't jjk all about breaking cycles so why did gojo die seeing himself as nothing more than 'a living creature' and it's not contested at all ('you can make a flower bloom but can't ask it to understand you'). it's not even that i want him to come back but at the very least they should remember him as Gojo and not The Strongest and that would provide some nice closure to his arc. paralleling that 'who is gojo satoru? .... the strongest' bit from way back. not only did none of that happen in fact we're blaming him for not killing yuuji like okay. sure. till the end he was just a tool in their eyes. not even asking for his students to look back (fondly! i wish) on their sensei that'd be too much to ask i just expected Something from megumi of all people at least. a little teehee at a silly note is not the kind of catharsis i was hoping for. im not asking for much from gege just that he stick to the themes he's been building up this whole time
