BREAKING NEWS: kenjaku drops out of presidential race, endorses star plasma vessel fetus for nominee

[remy45]

Yeah the aus where suguru never defects and is a teacher and is happy with Gojo are cool but what about aus where gojo defects with geto? where he follows him in his dark path, where he kills all the people who were clapping about amanai´s death, LIKE, I love them sm and criminal villian murder husbands please give me that.

[yokai-girlie]

hes not the strongest. the strongest would’ve been able to kill suguru geto the moment he laid eyes on him. he is satoru gojo and satoru gojo is only human.

Quick idea I had after rewatching the Hidden Inventory arc

[sugurump4]

JJK MANGA SPOILERS.

no 'cause actually getos question was answered, too. indirectly, but yes. he's the strongest because he's SATORU GOJO. if we analyze it deeply, the answer could be already found in the going north/south metaphor. going north would have meant reincarnation, so satoru would have become someone new, but he would still have been the strongest. in this case, he would have been satoru gojo because he's the strongest. but gojo went south, and he remained dead but stayed himself. the definitive confirm that he is the strongest because he's himself is what's happening to yuta. yuta is in his body, he has his whole potential strenght, six eyes, limtless and everything. and yet he didn't last a second, sukuna immediately broke throught infinity with him. this wouldn't have happened if it was gojo.

i also believe geto asked him not really as a question, more as a reminder of who he really is. after the star plasma incident, gojo completely shut down his personality and feelings, only focusing on his new title as the strongest. suguru knew that it wasn't the satoru he knew, it wasn't the satoru he loved. so he asked him this a last act of love in his regards, hoping that if not in that moment, one day satoru gojo would figure out that he first came as a person and not as a weapon, at least in his eyes.

they make me sick and depressed and they drain my will to live, i love them.

I frequently think about how challenging it must be to write convincing antagonists. It's relatively easy to justify morally driven, righteous thinking and good-hearted actions (that is, if justification of something like this is at all needed). Pulling off solid reasoning behind uncompromising, dedicated malice is harder. I think that is because benevolence comes naturally to us -- that's what our evolution as social beings taught us to be beneficial. So more often than not villains come off as cartoonish, false and awkward with their cardboard-thin beliefs and exaggerated petty grudges. And that's why it's always exciting to see characters who are objectively horrible people but still exhibit intricately nuanced and dimensional personalities you can at some extent empathize with.

I guess that is also why I like Toji as an antagonist so much. (Yes, this is a Toji Fushiguro post,, Why do I feel like I should I be sorry?) He is essentially a case study of a deeply flawed, disrespectful and inexcusably violent character with a plethora of other gruesome traits (I mean, the anime adaptation isn't even remotely subtle about showing his nastiness) who's also... just another ordinary human being. He eats take-out food. He overspends inpulsively. He watches sport and gambles. He loves and misses his wife and settles down while he's with her. Toji has harmless basic needs like entertaining himself with a hobby in his free time and having someone to keep him company while doing so. He seems to seek simple human connection (like when he suggests that he and Shiu go eat out in some fancy place after receiving their reward). He gets genuinely amused with the job's destination which is Okinawa and expresses his confusion over the cult's representative's bigoted speech in a mundane, kind of goofy way. He's curious when something goes slightly off a pre-established course of action and asks Shiu about it. He gets nervous and tries to calm himself down by strategizing. He thinks of his family in his last moments.

I'm saying all this with no intention to condone Toji's terrible actions or make them seem more forgivable. I guess it just drives home a point for me that while he destroyed the destiny of entire Jujutsu society he was really just minding his own business by going through another job. Yes, he was in some way taking out his spite on the Jujutsu world by trampling on the 'blessed talents' of both Gojo and Geto, but there was never an emphasis put on it. Defeating two Special Grade sorcerers wasn't a prime event in his life (well, up untill he died as a consequence of it, I guess). Even if there were some strings attached to this job, Toji was in it first of all for the money.

He's mundane. The extent of his cruelty and filth is sickening. He's just like those people you could pass by in the street. He's so morally corrupt it's alienating. He's both unthinkably horrible and still just an ordinary person.

Toji is a walking representation of the duality of man, really, and I find it truly admirable how Gege tied all those conflicting traits into a coherent and convincing character.

I was thinking about Shiu Kong more and

... He really seemed to have an idea of the severity of what killing the star plasma vessel could do.

I think he offered Toji the job with the intention of getting his unemployed friend some security in the advance money.

But then Toji spent that all bc he had beef with the six eyes kid and had to wear him down (rly all Toji had to do was like, release poisonous gas into a hotel room. Gojo's infinity wasn't adapted to that).

So Shiu dragged along with the responsibility of his role, not mentally prepared for killing a middle-school girl or for destabilizing the barriers that jujutsu relies on.

before, I said that Shiu gave up on being Toji's friend bc he was lost to the banana fish worm.

But I think he said "I'll only see you again for work, or in hell" because Shiu felt so disturbed by the guilt on his shoulders. The employer didn't expect success. What had they done?

So then we never see Shiu again but God I want him to come back and tell Fushiguro about his dad. Xnycuajmxcjamx

[manga spoiler below?]

We know from the author's notes that Shiu is a Korean citizen and was previously a detective. I wonder if he moved there by the time the merger became an issue - I wonder if he recognized that in the news as consequences of his actions.

I think there is extra tragedy in the fact that Geto’s final straw was two little girls in a cage. He threw away everything of his former life, his relationships and his duty as a sorcerer, because of two little girls in cage. He became a single teen father and devoted his entire life to the slim chance he could make the world safer for his daughters. And they still. Died. And the only way Geto could have prevented this was to never care for them in the first place. Because the moment Geto became a curse user he signed his death warrant and gave Kenjaku the chance of a hundred lifetimes. Shibuya could not have happened without Geto.

this is my 13th reason 😐

Tsukumo Yuki and lack of common sense

My thoughts on Star Plasma Arc. This is my opinion, I mean no offense to those who think differently. 

Apologies in advance, for the rant ahead. 

So I finished Star Plasma Arc today and what can I say? Gojo and Geto lost the moment they dismissed Star Religious Group as the threat and focused on Q instead, on grounds of them being sorcerers. But that's not the point.

The point is Tsukumo Yuki's theory.

As I expected, it is complete and utter bullshit. 

Why, you ask? Because it contradicts the way Cursed Energy was explained to us. 

​​​​​​Yuki's first point of theory was the erasure of Cursed Energy, which... what?🤨 The Cursed Energy is a manifestation of negative emotions. YOU CAN'T ERASE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS!  

And to reach that end she wanted to research Heavenly Restriction and Toji in particular (please don't get me started on the way she basically dismissed Geto's trauma caused by the guy.  You shouldn't be ashamed of losing to him. Yeah, right. Tell that to Riko and Kuroi👍😬) as if his condition is something that can be replicated manually and passed as a vaccine. I'm not much of Toji's fan but he did a good thing in brushing that woman off.

And that brings me to the second point of the theory: training non-sorcerers to be sorcerers by... controlling their Cursed Energy. Which is as ridiculous as the first point. Because again. Cursed Energy is a manifestation of negative emotions. And the way I understand it, Curses aren't only Japan's problem, it's the whole world's problem which is billions of people. She can't say to them: "Control your negative emotions". Even if she succeeds somehow, there's a chance people will lose control of their calm in stressful situations and poof! Hello Curses! Not to mention keeping negative emotions under control isn't always healthy.

And as if that wasn't enough, she agreed with Geto's idea (which is full of holes too) of killing non-sorcerers. It's the fastest and easiest route for them to adapt to being sorcerers (when it was said in the first season that you have to have a predisposition to being a shaman if I remember right), blah, blah.  Instead of working her ass off like Geto and Gojo with her technique, she talks about people like they are animals and test subjects. At least, that's the way it seemed to me.

So yeah, I am not fan of Tsukumo Yuki. Sorry if you are her fan and thanks for listening to my rant. 

Love you all ❤️🥰
