"I'll leave the rest to you" ~ nanami jujutsu kaisen season 2- episode 18

[lulla-bee]

last slice of life in jjk

omg they really did change that scene in the ending

[rahuratna]

Hi! I have a one am musing 🥹

I was rewatching jjk season one (I still haven’t finished season two but I need to cope LOL) and now I’m able to pick up all the little details we talked about before. *heart melts*

It’s so crazy to me how in the very beginning Nanami didn’t acknowledge Yuji as a sorcerer, and by the end, he told Yuji to be the one to take over from here. It’s so bittersweet…

Tbh, the very first time I watched that episode, I was super shocked and thought Nanami was patronizing Yuji. And then I learned that wasn’t the case. He was being very matter-of-fact about it and knows Yuji has a lot of room to grow 🥹💕💕

Yuji was super eager to prove himself to Nanami, and then Nanami was like “frankly I don’t give a shit.” But in reality, he really does as he gets to learn more about Yuji, and so while I was terribly upset with s2 ep 18, his last words were the perfect conclusion.

(This is just a side note but I like it more when writers show off Nanami’s practical-minded nature more. How it may seem cold and standoffish at first but it wasn’t intended that way. I wish I got to see more of Nanami being blunt with criticism since different people could react differently to it and it’s who he is!)

———-

I also realized that Gojo got new glasses LMAO. Didn’t see it before, but his high school ones were circular and his newer ones are more oval. I kinda glossed over it when he shops for new glasses in the “Lost in Paradise” ending. I personally like his high school sunglasses better. What about you?

Hi! And thanks for these lovely 1 am musings. It always makes my day to see one waiting for me 🤭 I also needed to take a moment to cope before moving on with season 2 (didn't help much, but necessary).

Nanami initially struck me as very contradictory, because there he was, taking a jab at the system (in his capacity as both a salaryman and as a sorcerer), saying that "work is shit", but also bowing formally to a teenager when he introduced himself and wearing a full business suit to kill curses!

I saw his lack of acknowledgement of Yuuji as another "fuck you" to the system. Here was Yuuji, a vessel to one of the most powerful curse users to ever exist, and he was essentially treating him as just another kid. I didn't necessarily see it in a good or bad light, it just struck me as a very deliberate choice on Nanami's part.

Of course, his later actions and his background showcased these things in a completely new way. Like you said, he cares a great deal for Yuuji and the younger generation of sorcerers. The fact that his last words to Yuuji were "you take it from here" is such a fitting culmination to his character arc.

He saw his duty as a guardian and protector of the young and the weak finally coming to an end, because they were now able to protect themselves better than he could. He saw Yuuji as completely fitting of carrying his legacy forward, and so let him know that he could now pass in peace.

I, also, wish we could have seen more of Nanami's interactions with others. The way Ijichi is actually more terrified of Nanami scolding him than anything else, describing him as the 'ultimate adult' or something along those lines, will never not be funny to me. Especially since Nanami is the type of man to never raise his voice in a professional setting. His pragmatic nature would probably have given us many more moments of misunderstandings, sweetness and humour, should it have been explored in greater detail.

------------

As to Gojo's sunglasses, I do like the older style better! They reflected a lot of his irreverent, cheeky and offbeat personality. I suppose the oval shape is a style choice that changed as he grew older and matured, but yeah, I definitely preferred round lenses better!

you know, tbh the real reason why i skipped on watching jjk s2 while it was airing was solely because i just didn't know how to cope with the grief (well fuck me now bc i'm shaking as i'm typing this & there's genuine tears in my eyes) that will be brought into me after i will witness (again) the death of nanami. binge watching s2 and just paused ep 18 only to stop my own urge to punch that fucker (you know who) to dust. the animators (all my Respect to them & a not so respectful middle finger flip to mappa for overworking them) really put me in the feels this time. god and i fucking hate gege, i will never not stop hating him for creating such a wonderful respectful green flag aka kento nanami only to kill him off in such a way.

well, i also wanted to relish that fight between sukuna & makora (later called mahoraga ig i have yet to catch up on the events of culling games after ch. 208, need a desperate re-read after i finish s2 but well) and of course, seeing yuuji in pain...just felt so unbearable. wanted to give that boy, just a kid, just an innocent & happy kid the most engulfing warm hug ever.

Holy moly have you seen that we probably wont get s2 ep 18 or 19

Due to the whole mappa thing

I haveeeee and honestly I'm kinda conflicted because I want to see the end of jjk season 2 but on the other hand mappa has been getting away with treating their employees poorly for wayyyy too long and I hope this kinda forces them into treating them better. Sucks all around but I hope something good can come out of it :/

I was talking to my sister (probably weeks ago) about anime and I realized I always set out to watch the ones everyone loves recently cause DUH but I literally never do. IDC about Naruto, Spy x Family, Kaguya-sama, Komi, Jojo's, JJK, BNHA, AoT, ETC. Only mentioning cause they're the shows with the most fans as of recently. Uhhh I watched a few eps of Tokyo Ghoul, same w/ Soul Eater and Death Note and Noragami (this one I do wanna watch eventually) and BSD. I can't think of any popular others that I haven't watched.

The ones I have watched: OPM (te amo Saitama. remember nothing tho), Haikyuu!! (up to 3rd season maybe, I forgor but I want to remember 💔), KnY (was OK), Wonder Egg Priority (don't remember the end), Yuru Camp (love SoL), HxH (both 1999 AND 2011 in their entireties), Horimiya (NEED to watch S2), Eizouken (silly), Hanako-kun (remember none of it), Kakegurui (both seasons, I watched w/ my sister), MP100 (S1 & 2, probably rewatch b4 S3), CSM (funny. Denji te quiero), Erased (it was good IDC), Kill la Kill (2015 Dante was built different), Yuri on Ice (vamos maricones), Ososan (funny), Owari no Seraph (Yoichi te quiero), Mirai Nikki (it was fun IDC).

LIKE I have watched my fair share of "popular" anime but out of that list I liked ummm lemme count. 7/18. enough to remember anything about them. It's pretty hit & miss to the point I don't even know what to watch anymore 😭 it's been so long since I last finished an anime. SAD.
