#jjk deserves better

[bibibbon]

Hey, it's the Yuuta critical Anon.

I was angry when I first saw partial glimpses of the leaks (they were a nasty shock when I first woke up yesterday so sorry if the first ask came out kind of nonsensical.)

However I have since learnt more and I do have to give Yuuta credit for him (and Yuuji) being the only ones alive to consider Gojo's personhood in the series and what he had to deal with as 'the strongest.'

Even Shoko, who is meant to be Gojo's bestie right alongside Geto, has no issues using Kenjaku's technique on Gojo so the sorcerers can continue using Gojo's body as a weapon.

I had thought that Gojo, Geto and Shoko were meant to mirror the Yuuji, Megumi and Nobara friend group but this throws that into doubt and makes her look awful. As I could see Megumi and Nobara vehemently objecting if Yuuji was in Gojo's place here.

Narratively? What does this creative choice add? Nothing. But it detracts everything.

Look at the fandom.

No one is talking of Yuuji's progress anymore or his fight against Sukuna. But not even the story is giving it focus anymore so I cant blame them.

Additionally, it just makes 99% of the cast (really everyone bar Yuuji who wasn't there or Yuuta who objected initially) look cold, bad and or in Gojo's case plain sad. Gojo apparently knowing he would lose / die all along is so OOC considering his previous arrogance and a retcon considering how Mahoraga carried Sukuna in thier fight. But that reasoning is there so the rest the cast do not look worse by adding consent issues into the moral mess of the body snatching because 'Gojo agreed to this if he died.'

TLDR - Tell me if I have my tin foil hat on here, but this feels like Gege dunking on the Gojo fans in the cruelest way while Yuuji gets robbed of the focus he deserves (as the MC!) Especially considering all the progress he has made fighting against Sukuna.

Hi again yuta anon 👋

I found your ask really interesting to be honest because I somewhat agreed with it.

I like the fact yuta consistently acknowledges Gojo and what society has put him through but I really don't like the whole him taking over gojos body after gojos death type of thing. I just hated it. I can see what gege was trying to do but it was horrible wiring decision and I will stick by that opinion especially when he could of done many more things like have kenjaku come back in gojos body and have yuta take Getos CT which I think would of been two very interesting ways to enrich the parallels and contrasts within the series.

To be honest I find it really interesting how gege chooses to portray shoko and her character. I wouldn't call her flimsy but I definitely think that her and Gojo have a horribly strained relationship that fell apart slowly after geto left Jujutsu tech. She does care for him as seen in the chapter before his unsealing and heck even during Gojo Vs sukuna battle she was shown to be smoking a ton of cigarettes and seriously panicking over him. However, shoko like everyone else does seem to see gojos strength more than the real person. Her not saying anything makes sense but just because she didn't say anything doesn't mean that she doesn't care for him. She also at the beginning didn't believe he would die and I don't think we should forget that has been dealing with dead bodies for a long time and since a young age. Shoko just never got to show grief in a traditional sense and is also currently surrounded by other comrades dead and injured bodies. I do however see your point and honestly wish that akutami gave us more of shoko before having moments like this.

Gojo, geto and shoko are indeed supposed to be a parallel of yuji, megumi and nobara. I see and honestly can't help but agree with it considering that megumi and nobara would never agree to yujis body being used like that. Heck I don't think any of them would agree to eachothers bodies being used like that. However, the trio is supposed to contrast the other. Shoko, Gojo and geto genuinely fell apart and gege did highlight some of shokos insecurities of her feeling left out in that trio. This could be interpreted as a gege trying to contrast the two trios🤷‍♀️. Honestly I can't say much about our current trio considering that I want nobara back and that she should of came back but oh well gege.

In all respects I hate the current narrative choice that gege took by bringing back Gojo in such a way and I stand by the fact that he should of stayed dead next to Getos body or that he is possessed by kenjaku and ends up dead next to kenjaku. Also this narrative choice really took away from the true focus of things which I supposed to be MEGUMI AND ITADORI. I swear we didn't get the yuji revelation not too long ago but everyone has seemingly forgotten about it and it's disappointing. I would of liked more focus on yuji and build up considering that I had some trouble with the way his power was revealed and I would of enjoyed some little build ups and hints (I do admit that the series did have some of them but I would of still enjoyed more of them). Then there is megumi, we haven't seen the poor quy since 251 (I think) where he was genuinely crying and telling yuji to give up on him or that he doesn't care anymore. Well we know that now megumi has gone through a lot more and I honestly don't know what gege is going to do with him because it's not looking like he is going to have a good ending. (Megumi deserves better, the hate he gets for simply crying is insane)

I wouldn't call it a RETCON in all honesty I feel like Gojo could of beaten sukuna if sukuna wasn't using mahoraga but him using mahoraga does change a lot of things and considering how easily (well not easily) Gojo was taken down in shibuya by kenjaku that would of put a lot of the cast (whom initially put all of their faith and trust into what they believed to be an unbreakable beacon of power) have some concerns about what they should do if Gojo was to be taken down and killed. Its an unfortunate circumstance but it makes sense. Also this is my opinion but I believe that Gojo wasn't that willing to agree but simply agreed for the sake of his students and giving them a proper chance considering that he was expecting shoko to decline the suggestion.

Tldr: I really don't think you have a tin hat on anon and this could be seen as gege genuinely dunking on Gojo in a horrible way. In all honesty Iam not a huge hater for authors who hate on their characters as long as they do it properly aka properly make the character suffer in a narrative way instead of pulling some bs like this. Also I used to enjoy how gege wrote yujis character at the beginning but Iam honestly developing doubts considering geges writing choices.

related to this ex-boyfriend toji post

toji broke up with the reader btw. he saw how all the nights (and days) alone were affecting you, how your smile was slowly but surely dimming down. he wanted to be selfish and hold onto you; you were the closest thing to love he could find after his wife died, and he so desperately wanted to be with you forever.

but he could see that megumi was slowly becoming the only reason why you stayed. you loved them both, of this, he was 100% certain. that's why you tried your hardest and put up with all his shit. but it was breaking you, and that, in turn, broke him.

so he proposed you both broke up and you agreed. exhausted and heartbroken, you stupidly agreed. you didn't want to give up on toji and megumi, you loved them with all your heart. megumi did nothing to you, and you always visited him and spoke to him after the breakup. but you had become a glorified baby sitter with little perks in that relationship. maybe some distance from toji would be healthy.

-you are my special-

[gojosbf]

one day you wake up and realise how happy gojo was in his death and it fucks with your head so bad. he was content to have died doing what he believed was right, which was believing in his students and their capabilities. he seemed glad that he could finally join suguru in afterlife. the fact that suguru wasn't there to pat him on the back on his way out to battle saddened him, satoru's greatest regret was being left behind by suguru and he wanted to catch up as soon as he could, so he was satisfied with the fact that he did the most he could and that his job here was finally done. he was happy to be able to help even after his death.

gojo wanted to foster strong and intelligent allies who would change the jujutsu society for better, that was all he wished for and he made that happen. gojo died knowing he achieved his life goal, he died knowing it was okay for him to not be there anymore, that he could finally rest without worrying.

what i am trying to say is gojo satoru was probably more happier in his death than he would have ever been alive.

gojo nation we MUST stick together so here’s some happy satoru

One thing you loved most about Satoru Gojo, aside from his many lovable qualities, was how much he loved being loved.

He loved they way you would indulge in his silliness, the way you’d get cuteness aggression over him, the way you’d stop whatever it is you’re doing just to cuddle him because god you just can’t get enough of him. Being the strongest was nothing but a side job when he was with you.

Gojo was snuggled up to you on the couch. His face smushed against your chest as you massaged your fingers through his fluffy hair. You could practically hear him purring like a kitten out of contentment. He was being a bit more of a baby than usual today, but you’d be a fool to act like you didn’t love it.

“Y/nnnnn,” the man whined as he turned to look at you with his pretty blue eyes, resting his chin on your chest, “Entertain me!”

You didn’t respond but instead you held his face in your palms and squished his cheeks. You kissed his lips as they poked out from his little face.

“Hey! Don’t ignore me!” He said in a muffled voice. He attempted to pout but it faded the second he heard your sweet laughter.

“I’m sorry bunny but I couldn’t resist. What do you want to do?” you said to him softly.

“I- ”

Before he could even begin his sentence, you squeezed him. You pulled this 6’3 man up closer to your face and squeezed him, pressing your cheek against his. You don’t know what came over you or what super strength you suddenly possessed to move your log of a boyfriend, but you did it.

You gently shook him as you held him in a bear hug. You placed sloppy kisses all over his cheeks. You bit him. You tickled him. He was just so adorable and you loved him so much. You wanted to fling him around like a chew toy.

“Baby whahaha what’s going ohohon?” Satoru giggled as you tickled him. His laughter was so sweet it made you wanna keep going, but you stopped so you could place both your hands in his hair.

“I can’t help it Toru! You just look like a little sweet potato! I love you soooo much I just wanna eat you.” You said, reveling in the sound of his purrs once you started playing with his hair again.

“Sweets you know I’d let you eat me any day. I’m sure I taste as good as I look.” Satoru smirked. He was soaking up all the attention you were giving him and he was absolutely loving it.

He rolled over on his back and you were now on top of him. You took your time to admire him in this position. He looked so at peace with you. You could tell he was happy, and that’s all you ever wanted for him. If you couldn’t give him anything, you’d do anything to give him happiness. To the world he was nothing but a weapon that wasn’t valued for anything other than his abilities. But you saw past that. You saw his soul, everything that made him a human. He was never the strongest to you. He was your Toru. He was your stinky. He was your mochi poo. He was just Satoru. And that would always be more than enough for you.

“Hey you,” he poked your cheek, bringing you out of your thoughts, “why’d you stop? Keep loving me!”

And who were you to deny him of what he deserved?

“Of course sweet pea.” You chuckled, pushing his hair back to kiss his forehead.

You continued to kiss his features, then lightly tracing them with your fingers. Satoru was so content and relaxed that he drifted off into a light slumber with a smile on his face, replacing it with a pout whenever he felt the absence of your touch. He may have known that he was a big baby, spoiled from all your love, and clingy as hell. But there was one thing he may not have known that you wished every day and night he did. What it was you may ask?

You would let the world burn for him.

You're too sweet for me...🥃
