#im insane and its gege fault

[confused-much]

I'm really insane and I will bill Gege for my therapy.

I've recently discovered "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift and it's such a nice song but you know what was my FIRST freaking thought?!

"Wow, this sounds like a good Satosugu song."

I don't even like half of Satosugu ship (my dislike for Geto is a topic for another conversation)!

But then I think this song is still a nice tribute to Gojo after chapter 236. Because now, he is safe and sound, right?

(pls Gojo come back next chapter, pls)

Anyway, I'm insane now, it's all Gege's fault and Taylor Swift has nice songs. I also love "Cardigan" with all my heart and I will die on that hill.

[lil-vibes]

Now that the translations are out I gotta say that IF this is trully how it ends for him, I'm disappointed. Like I was never under the illusion that Gojo would've survived till the end of the manga but this just feels so... off? So underwhelming, almost? Like, it feels incomplete and granted, Gege has killed characters that, arguably, weren't finished with their arcs (Nobara, Nanami) before but even if we take that into consideration this one still feels so wrong to me.

Obviously I wanted Gojo to win and obviously everyone knew that he wasn't going to (historically, he has always lost something so important whenever he 'wins' a battle that it renders his victory almost meaningless) but killing him off screen, even with all of the explanations, when he was straight up folding Sukuna's shit for like 10 chapters straight just feels cheap and Sukuna's victory actually feels undeserved to me bc of it.

He was on the defence most of the fight. He pulled out every single thing he could from Megumi's CT and STILL got his ass handed to him multiple times. Im gonna be real, despite me making fun of his ✨fraud-core✨ chapters, I like Sukuna. I like him a lot as a character and as an antagonist and so I want to see his victory actually mean something, or be hard won since this was a fight between THE pillars of the jujutsu world. Perhaps if he killed Gojo with his own CT it would have felt more right ? Maybe..

Besides all of that, what happens now? What could possibly be done against Sukuna now that The Strongest is out of the picture? Kashimo, and let it be known that i love him dearly, will be folded in probably 2 chapters max. Yuta (<3), Yuuji, Maki, Hakari and his domain will not be enough.

Like sometimes I feel like people just either forget or don't grasp the sheer depth of the power gap between Gojo and EVERYONE else. It's just so insanely large that after defeating him, Sukuna is trully unstoppable. And if Gege pulls some shit and has him defeated regardless, then that will just be bad writing and Gege, for all I curse him on the daily, isn't a bad writer.

Truth be told, whenever a chapter ended before, I wasn't all that scared that Gojo was done for solely because the manga would have ended. Like, in universe, if Gojo goes down then it's a wrap for everyone else pretty much immediately (like mans got sealed and not even 10minutes later everything went to hell in that godforsaken train station) so now that this has happened I trully wonder where this will go from here?

??? idk man im here for hua cheng angst. has gone off the rails. fake date au, modern college au, angst...hm (bottom hua cheng mentioned??)

hey its future me here i found this in my drafts and dragged it out by its hair

-in a modern college au, xie lian is telling shi qingxuan about his love troubles — how he's in love with his friend, but his friend has a beloved

-shsi qingxuan, connoisseur of fanfiction and #2 hualian shipper, suggests he fake-dates someone to "get over hua cheng." (in reality, to get hua cheng jealous and take matters into his own hands)

-except... it doesn't go as planned. xie lian fake dates shi qingxuan and tells feng xin and mu qing about the entire plan, who helps sell the lie. in a week, everyone knows shi qingxuan and xie lian are dating.

-hua cheng doesnt show much change at that. it perplexes literally everyone, except the oblivious xie lian. and, well, except his two lackeys (friends).

-he xuan eventually finds hua cheng in his bathroom, shakily holding a dagger to his hair. the path divets and nearly cuts the tip of his ear, had he xuan not interrupted him.

-yin yu... as his roommate, yin yu sees more. hua cheng paints his fantasies, as usual, with him and xie lian. he holds up a lighter right to the painting, burning off himself. it was as if it were some sort of therapy, or brainwashing, reminding him to stay only friends with xie lian.

-shi qingxuan, frustrated, recruits pei ming. in the face of romance, he is unusually the best at it considering how he never holds long-term relationships.

-pei ming immediately sees the faults, yet when he points it out, shi qingxuan says, "it's all in the fanfiction! watch any c-drama and it'll be the same!"

-after a month, he xuan literally can not put up with whatever shi qingxuan is pulling. he knew it was a farce, but was willing to put up with it for them. his mind quickly changed after encountering hua cheng using a weapon to cut some unpleasant part of his body off nine too many times.

-"why do you even have so many weapons?" "gege likes them." "you idiot, just give it to him then!" "gege said i should keep it because im the one who bought them."

-yin yu, likewise, cant put up with the cult-like behavior either. it was as if hua cheng had gone insane, and forcibly drained it every day doing some freaky thing. hua cheng, although adept at fire before, became scarily masterful at handling it.

-it culminates to he xuan confronting shi qingxuan, who insists to continue, and yin yu confronting xie lian, who hears the bullshit shi qingxuan told xie lian.

-"who else is in this plan of yours?" "feng xin, mu qing, and pei ming." "pei ming? what did he say about it?" "that it was a...stupid plan. but shi qingxuan said it would work perfectly!" "you didn't listen to the many-proclaimed god of romance? shi qingxuan doesnt even have a love life to go off of..."

-as if to prove a point, he xuan begins to hang out with hua cheng more. like, making a monthly meet-up into a daily meet-up. rumors spread throughout the campus, "are they dating?" and no one says anything, so it becomes widely assumed that they are.

-xie lian does not feel good. he has to follow shi qingxuan's plan, but feels jealousy ripping at him every moment he's apart from hua cheng. it's he xuan and hua cheng hanging out together, rather then xie lian and hua cheng.

-when he finally hears the rumors, he can't help it. plan be damned, shi qingxuan be damned, getting over hua cheng be damned. he finds hua cheng in the hallway, pins him to the wall and kisses him.

ranting again

I WANT THIS CAT PUBLICLY EXECUTED.

anyways what the HELL man.

NO FUNERAL???? NO FUNERAL FOR GOJO???? THE GOJO CLANS REACTION TO THEIR LATE HEAD OF CLAN???? THE STUDENTS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT AT ALL????

USELESS MISSION THAT DID NOTHING BUT TAKE UP SPACE????

Gojo doesnt even get a funeral, just ONE page bro…

he literally died for their sins and this is how they treat him. (jesus reference!?$;!;&:!)

how come we saw a grave for TSUMIKI, AN IRRELEVANT CHARACTER THAT IS ALL GEGES FAULT FOR NOT ELABORATING ON, but not GOJO??? AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER?? The one who let YUUJI and YUUTA live in the first place??? We dont even get to see the corpse of the man who made it possible to defeat sukuna in the first place?!?!!!?

whose gonna be the next strongest then? if its yuuta, hes gonna witness what its like to have lived as gojo, except people ACTUALLY care about him. (is he stuck with those forehead stitches??)

the random sukuna lore drop??? Idek what to say man. mahitos chilling there whining, and sukunas like “actually, i had a choice this whole time….” and the choice is likely uraume. whoever that other person is idk.

Moving on, gege was definitely self inserting into gojo when he said “forget me ooo” like no. imma STILL be stanning gojo 10 years later. on this note sukunas a real one cause he said hed never forget him for as long as he lives. (sukugo canon?!$,!;&: /j)

the fact that gojo just dies stuck in his past is such a horrible end to his character. hes supposed to be moving forward, moving on from his past but he struggled to. and instead of ACTUALLY being able to move on and come back to life, he STAYS there. he just… gives up on the students he wanted to keep alive and happy??? that was obviously young gojo speaking, not adult gojo. but thats another story for another day. hes not SUPPOSED to stay in the past, he was supposed to MOVE ON, and be happy with what he has NOW, but nooooo gege said “Nah, I’d Rush.” and KEPT him there stuck in his little blue spring that will never come back.

that mission was pure filler, it didnt provide anything useful besides “haha look guys its the trio again!!” theres so many plot holes its insane. takaba and kenny are unexplained?? (takaba literally doesnt know who geto is, and he came to know kenny, NOT geto. theres no reason that it would be geto)

in the end i can really see why gojo was always so emotionally distant. nobody seemed to even care about him in the first place. theyre all happy, why cant he be? why is it such a problem for him to live happily? hes not happy. hes stuck in what hes always tried to leave.

also everythings back to square one wtf. is yuuji just gonna steer clear of the fingers?? or is the cycle going to repeat.

you never know what you have till ya lose it, i suppose.

thats it. im inside geges walls.

[eternalera]

ngl i find it so annoying that people keep comparing megumi to gojo in terms of power and when im talking power im talking their current states of power. or megumi to any other adult sorcerer cause like... thats a kid vs an adult???

idk man who is gonna win between a child and a grown man?? you tell me

not only that but theyre acting like megumi has to have his full potential right at that moment just because its mentioned a ton by others and while i agree that it is really disappointing that by the end of the manga we never get to see it... thats more of a writing fault on gege's account than a character one.

not only that but megumi doesnt get all that much time to explore his skills in the manga or anime. like, ngl its actually just kinda sad because the culling games was arguably the peak of his power that we get to see (not saying that he'll never reach his full potential but when he does... yeah we wont be there for it). and he's pretty damn good, he can go into the shadows have an incomplete domain and he has control of most of his shikigami

actually during the culling games his body gets taken over so... yeah he's not gonna have as much time as yuuji did to get stronger thats kinda a given when your body doesnt become yours but yknow how it is

also i think people are forgetting... the gojo and zen'in fight a while back between the limitless and six eyes user vs. the ten shadows... it only ended in a draw because the ten shadows users summoned mahoraga on the six eyes user back then.

sure i dont doubt that he did some further damage than that but mahoraga was the main reason that he won and people just tend to forget that when it comes to megumi. his ability is insanely strong and cracked, yes, but he's also just a kid.

hell even teen gojo didnt have it all figured out. although i will admit if you put teen gojo (before his awakening) in a fight with megumi i do admit that megumi would lose (if he decided not to summon mahoraga that is).

but yeah i just think that its kinda annoying when people try to powerscale megumi to gojo. like of course he's gonna lose, everyones losing to gojo (well except sukuna i guess 🙄)

[confused-much]

God, I'm this close to dropping this godforsaken manga. This close. I hate it, I hate what's currently happening, I hate Gege, and I hate how much influence this manga has on me.

Like, it's truly fascinating how this manga made me mourn for Gojo TWICE, made me melancholic towards Nanami and his end (like, legit, the whole day I was just feeling sorry for him), how I still say "It wasn't so bad" and think of Nobara, how I've been crying for these fictional characters.

I've never done it. I watched and read Attack on Titan and it was fine. My favourite characters died and I was fine. The ending came and I was fine.

But JJK?

I think this manga truly is cursed. Gege must be a genius because WHY I keep coming back to this manga when all it does is to hurt me more and more?!

Ugh, seriously, chapter 236 killed my heart and now chapter 261 killed my soul. I hate this manga and obviously I will read the new chapter after the break.
