#meanwhile mahito wants none of that

[nyan-bynary]

My controversial jjk take is that mahito should've remained the main threat/antagonist throughout the whole thing

[uriekukistan]

alright i've been seeing so much megumi hate recently, and especially after the new chapter (not on here, mostly twitter youtube and tiktok), so as president of the megumi defense squad, here is my dissertation defending him against the bum allegations.

i've seen a lot of people comparing megumi's situation to yuuji in shibuya, and saying that megumi should be able to "just get up and keep fighting," so i'm going to tell you why this is not a fair comparison, and give some context on yuuji's "recovery" from shibuya that i feel people are missing when they say this. this is quite lengthy, sorry in advance

i. fundamental differences in the ways in which yuuji & megumi view saving people

yuuji wants to save everyone. he wants to save as many people as he can because of what his grandfather said to him on his deathbed. this is what kickstarted the events of jjk. if yuuji hadn't felt this way, he never would have eaten that finger to say some guy he met an hour ago, which is another point. yuuji cares for people easily. he threw his life on the line to save megumi immediately after meeting him. he mourned junpei, who he spent all of a few hours with in total like he had known him for years.

this is very different from megumi, who both does not get attached to people easily, and does not care to save everyone. he only cares to save people he deems worthy, and as far as we know, this list consists of only tsumiki and yuuji. its even unclear if he feels this way about nobara or gojo, despite them also being relatively important in his life. as you can see, when he thinks about saving people by his conscience, the only two characters shown are tsumiki and yuuji.

this is why he sometimes gets some criticism for not doing a half-assed job as a sorcerer, but i think its important to remember that he does not actually want to be a sorcerer, only doing it out of necessity to keep tsumiki from the zen'in clan. the times where we do see him taking things seriously are when yuuji and/or tsumiki's lives are what's at stake.

so in shibuya, after watching his own hands slaughter innocent people, and watching nanami and nobara die, yuuji is able to keep going because there are still more people who need to be saved, and he wants to save everyone. in contrast, megumi has watched his own hands kill one of the two people that he cares about saving, and severely maim the other one, so what is there to keep fighting for, given the way he views the world?

and i think it's also important to note that megumi has not been aware of his surroundings since sukuna v yorozu, so saying that he should get up now to save yuuji is not reasonable because he doesn't even know yuuji is there.

ii. the environment yuuji was in in shibuya vs the environment megumi is in right now

now none of that is to say that yuuji did not also break down and want to give up in shibuya, because he absolutely did (actually, im not sure if this is canon or just my theory, but the reason he did not switch back with sukuna at the detention center was because he wanted to give up), but the circumstances were way different

within minutes of watching nanami and nobara die, todo & nitta were there to encourage him and get him back on his feet (most of that was due to todo, but nitta was also telling yuuji not to lose hope).

meanwhile, megumi has been alone for over a month now, save the few seconds in 251 where i'm pretty sure he didn't even know yuuji was there, with nothing but his own misery to keep him company. sukuna took over his body and killed tsumiki with megumi's technique on november 16th. the shinjuku showdown takes place on december 24th. that's over a month stewing in guilt and mourning with no one to support him at all. that makes it a lot more difficult to bounce back quickly like that.

iii. more context on yuuji

even after todo's little pep talk that gave him the strength to get up and finish mahito off, yuuji didn't just "bounce back" and stand up to keep fighting in the way people think he did. in the days following the shibuya incident, he was really directionless, probably a bit reckless, because he genuinely didn't know what to do with himself, and didn't know if he even deserved to be alive. in my personal interpretation of yuuji immediately post-shibuya, if it weren't for choso, he would have likely lost his life, as he just showed a lack of self-regard in those days following. just one example:

it's not until megumi shows up again that yuuji finds a direction to go, and even then, he's operating with the mindset that once everything is over, megumi and tsumiki are safe, and gojo is unsealed, he will die and stop causing trouble for everyone.

so again, i think the megumi/yuuji comparison as a way to hate on megumi is not fair, both because there are important differences in the way they think and their situations, and because yuuji's reaction post shibuya isn't quite as resolved and strong as people make it out to be. this is not to say that yuuji is not strong! he absolutely is, just to point out that he, like megumi, was/is also lacking the will to live, and there's nothing wrong with that! wanting to give up is a completely reasonable reaction to being in this situation as an ADULT, let alone at 15 years old.

if you've made it this far, thank you for listening to me ramble 🙏 pls let me know any of your thoughts as well, i'd love to chat about this!

Headcanon! Jjk men dick sizes from largest to smallest. Please include Todou and Noritoshi ✨

I have never once thought of Noritoshi Kamo since his introduction to the series so he gonna have to sit this one out and yes there will be heavy bias in this but that's what we're here for

First off is h-h-h-HORSE COCK NANAMI KENTO, that luscious piece of man meat, the shlong to end all shlongs, his third leg knocking at his knees! I know the real reason he left the office its cause just the imprint of his cock in his slacks was having bitches FAINT ON SIGHT, people were SCARED to come into the office cause they were so aroused by the sight of- anyway if I'm being overzealous I give him a 10in but realistically it'd probably be like a 8, 9 on a good day which is everyday when you got that spicy sausage link down the back of your throat

Coming in hot hot hot in second place is the lustrous 30in 1B Brazilian straight 360 lace with a pre-plucked hairline, 180% density and an elastic band in the back: Mr. Getou Suguru! Now I'm sure if he and Nanami measured dicks side by side(hehe) you'd be hard pressed to find any real differences and ya know what, there's not. Except I believe that Getou's dick curves to the left a bit. Realistic size is like 7.5-leaning-8in.

Let's not forget third place is dominated by the black sheep reject who got sniped by a highschooler with barely any eyelashes Toji Ze- Fushiguro! Packing not only abandonment issues and a grudge bigger than my ass, Toji can and will use his dick as a weapon and legally he must tell airport security that he is flying with a concealed firearm(his dick in case you didn't catch that). I bet he's got multiple other children we don't know about because Akutami doesn't have it in him to describe every one of Toji's lovemaking sessions which left the recipient incapacitated in the best of ways. His dick is a nice 8in.

Not to be outdone in fourth place is Naoya Zenin and I already hear the call out posts being typed up as I write! You may call me a misogyny lover, a woman hater, a dumb stupid whore that only exists to be bred to have babies but meanwhile she's popping birth control when her man ain't home and you would be right in all those assumptions! Naoya Zenin is without a doubt slinging some heat, he is the Zenin clans finest after all and being the prized race horse means you got the ding dong to end all ding dongs. A healthy 666- oops sorry I mean 6.9in and no he doesn't shave, that's gay.

Fifth in this line up but certainly not coming up short if you know what I mean is none other than Itadori Yuji! Yes that's right the boy that should have just joined the fucking track team rounds out the top five. He's not only great in the kitchen but great in the bedroom, living room, bathroom, backyard, alleyway behind the club - wherever you want him! He trims, he shaves, hell he'll even get waxed if you want him to! Sports a nice dummy thick one, definitely more girth than length, I'm giving him a wonderful 6.5 in length. In thickness...lemme get back to you on that.

And now I'm too lazy to write anyone else with grandiose descriptions so in order we have: Todo - truly the same size as itadori, Inumaki - deffo uses his dick as a lightsaber, Choso+Gojo+Yuta give me sickly victorian child that is also a ghost vibes so really they're probably all rocking at max 5 but just know in my heart its really a 3-4. Mahito...that little gremlin can be whatever size he wants he's like Willy Wonka...

*rubs hands together*

jjk satosugu anastasia au

now, i know what y’all are thinking... geto as anya and gojo as dimitri but i raise you: gojo as anya and geto as dimitri now hear me out

so gojo obviously is the strongest and most powerful and the higher ups did Not like that, so they teamed up with idk mahito / curses or something and like toji and the gojo clan was wiped out. except The Strongest, satoru, may have lived.

no matter how hard they try, they cannot find him, so the higher ups make an announcement saying that there may be a chance that satoru is alive and they need help finding him so that they can help train him / take care of him in his family’s place, which is bull crap btw because they actually are going to kill him if they find him. this happens when satoru is like... idk ten? so, the higher ups are *technically* the queen in this au

anyways, his family isn’t Great in this au and none of them really tried to protect him, so this ten year old who doesn’t really know how to control his powers had to defend himself but got hurt and got amnesia. some non-jujutsu sorcerer finds him and he grows up kind of an orphan idk

flash forward a couple of years, gojo has no idea that he’s a jujutsu sorcerer and he sees the curses and thinks that h’s imagining things. he somehow runs into geto (dimitri) and shoko (vladimier) while they are on a mission and i don’t really have this part worked out, but idk maybe jujutsu high is running low on money or the higher ups want to shut it down and they’re like wow this kid saw the curses, maybe he’s satoru lol nah he died i don’t believe this theory but... but what if we pretend he is? and kind of rope him into it and part of the reason he agrees is because he’s bored and also a little scared that these curses he’s been seeing are real and also lonely and wants friends

so in their way back, they start teaching him stuff about being a sorcerer and it kind of comes easy to him, but it takes a while for his cursed techniques to surface. like. a while. so then yaga and utahime are going to be like lilly in this au and just help them out and yaga’s like even if this kid isn’t gojo, we want him at jujutsu high and we can teach him, so we won’t just hand him off to the higher ups

meanwhile, toji or the kyoto principal somehow figure it out and start trying to kill gojo. like, even if the kid isn’t gojo, they want to kill him just in case. so they start sending curses after him and all that jazz and at one point they happen to “run into” the sss trio and try talking to them but gojo starts getting defensive and uncomfortable and geto and shoko notice so they leave and gojo’s like “i don’t like them. they make me uncomfortable”

idk later there’s a scene with gojo and geto at jujutsu high shortly before they take gojo to see the higher ups to convince them he is gojo and geto is staring at him in the moonlight or sunlight or whatever and just says “you look so much like him...” and gojo is “???” and geto is like “oh, i met gojo satoru once. i was ten, i think, and we were *idk on a trip to jujutsu high or something haven’t figured that out yet*. we hung out while our parents talked and we talked and-” and then he tells him a little about that day and how that was a couple of days before the attack and cue in a crowd of thousands and gojo is like “you make me feel like i was there too” and geto goes “maybe you were. make it a part of your story” and gojo just makes things up based on what geto says and then says something like idk we’re the strongest and how they said that together and gojo said that to geto and geto just *jaw drops* “i didn’t tell you that?��� “you didn’t have to-i remember!” and they get so excited because he really is gojo. or or or maybe gojo was there when suguru swallowed his first curse or something and he remembered what it was and had given him the courage to do it even tho it looked gross... idk...

and then the next day they meet with the higher ups and they’re like yup this is him and gojo leaves with them and yaga is like “let us teach him” and they’re like “well, we just need to talk to him first, see how he’s doing” but geto and shoko get this icky feeling and maybe nanami, haibara, and utahime join them and they maybe overhear a conversation about them planning in killing gojo and they try to stop it and they get in a fight and maybe they drugged gojo or something and he’s slightly out of it / out of commission because they realized that he was getting his memories back and needed to kill him soon and that they had to incapacitate him to do so because if he was getting his memories back, that means he was getting his cursed techniques back.

or maybe wait to bring toji back--he tries to take out shoko and geto per the higher ups orders once they get gojo and he thinks that he’s going to win and mockingly talks about how gojo is going to be killed and that really pisses them off and geto does the “you want to kill gojo satoru? then die” thing and they almost lose but manage to get the upper hand and actually maybe nanami, haibara, or utahime step in and help them out idk and then they go after gojo once they kill toji

and geto gets really hurt or idk used as a hostage or something and that kind of just, snaps gojo out of it or maybe he’s unconscious and wakes up and sees that they’re about to kill geto or something and suddenly purple and geto is just watching and is like “this is the most beautiful thing that i have ever seen i love him” [and it’s been like at least a month since they found him] and gojo ends up killing all of the higher ups and then idk passes out or something because of the drug or what they did to him and geto is like on the verge of passing out too (the higher ups saw how much they meant to each other / how much geto cared about gojo and that’s why they went after him specifically--also since he is, objectively, more powerful than the other four). and shoko, nanami, utahime, and haibara bring them back to yaga who is like BESTIES WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME??? I AM AN ADULT??? and shoko heals them even tho gojo’s cursed technique is coming back and he started subconsciously healing himself.

and then gojo got his memories back mostly, he is starting to really figure out his cursed technique, he and geto date... the world still thinks that gojo satoru is dead maybe, or maybe they learn that he killed all the higher ups, idk

and gojo is a menace the entire story, and everyone is like “why the frick won’t he shut up” or “why does he keep hugging us / touching us” and stuff like that and they realize later it is because he’s lonely and a little bit scared and y e a h

also gojo got a different name when non-sorcerers found him, idk what it is tho... idk jogo??? still don’t know that part, and he doesn’t wear the blindfold, but he wears sunglasses because he gets massive migraines without them and later, him taking his sunglasses off for the first time is when it really clicks that yeah he’s gojo satoru or maybe he does it after he starts remembering or for the first time in front of the higher ups or for the first time when he saves everyone at the end idk but !!!

[a-ard]

I CAUGHT UP WITH JJK YEAAAHH. thoughts and spoilers below

HONESTLY THOUGH MAKI, TOJI AND NANAMI... CHEF KISS. and yeah i like it!! the pacing isnt slow like naruto or too fast like kny. jjk has the right amount of flashbacks

and i know i have a low bar for shonen but compared to csm and naruto fanservice, jjk treats women and girls better. with the exception of mei mei and ui ui because... eww wtf is going on with them

none of the protags have annoying personality (yes even gojo) which i appreciate a lot. unlike kakashi, gojo doesnt read erotica in front of his underage students and he actually lives up to his godly reputation. kakashi meanwhile is over there getting his ass beat every time he went into fights

gege did a wonderful job writing villains because i still wish somebody would kill mahito

also HOW CUTE IS IT THAT EVERYONE WHO FOUGHT ITADORI ENDED UP TREATING HIM AS THEIR LITTLE BROTHER... ESPECIALLY when gege showed todo’s locket that contains itadori picture aaawww i love todo sooo much he’s such a sweet dude. and choso too!

might i add my favorite curse technique is todo’s boogie woogie technique.. like laugh all you want but he used it so proudly and i cant think more disorienting and effective curse technique you can use in hand to hand combat other than boogie woogie. fuck gege for cutting his hand off...

on another topic thank god gege has a nice fashion sense like all of the girls LOOK GOOD. especially maki.. i appreciate when a man who wrote shonen decided to gave his female character a short haircut, glasses, and burn marks all over maki’s body like.. WHEEW. maki born with heavenly restriction thus making her physique powerful is also a plus. that moment when ogi saw and remembered his fear of toji IN maki thats what im talking about babyyy

another thing that i love from jjk is that they dont do STUPID LOVE TRIANGLE LIKE.. i was kind of worried the trio would act similar to how team 7 did??? but apparently thats not the case like none of the jjk students date or attracted to each other except for miwa and mechamaru. and even they had a wholesome relationship. no gross beach or hot bath chapter / episode thank goodness

the teachers act how teachers normally would. on gross shit level jjk is on the same tier as kny, which is almost.. none?? i mean villains would be villains they’re freaks but acting gross isnt their whole personality

so yeah i’ll give jjk 8/10 atm. i wish gege would take more rest i know how japanese comic industry literally runs down mangakas and animators to their deathbed. thats it i guess

[seoafin]

Me: reads your answer

Also me: *rant mode activated* sorry about that. Long ask ahead😅

Oh god, mc's abilities are fascinating. Not me imagining all the harmless ways she could use it. Pranking gojo that one time he really gets on her nerves. Imagine she freezes time for a meal/cup of tea. Boom. Automatic refill and it doesn't get cold! (Probs wouldn't work like that but my tea-lover self needs to dream T^T )

I could totally see gojo flirting with her at the most inappropriate moment. Like fighting against a curse for example. (Mc? Clueless. Mahito? Facepalming at how oblivious she is. Gojo? Stepping up his game.) Btw, did they ever fight together at some point?

And boy. The reunion in shibuya? Yes. Yes. YES. I live for this. Mc being overwhelmed Gojo style (maybe not as intense but definitely shaken). Getwo behaving exactly like geto would. *kiss flashback intensifying as he gets closer and holy shit he smells so good and omg is he going to kiss her again?* (Nope. Geto said "dontcha touch mah girl bish) Totally not simping on getwo bc holy crap. This man is charismatic af. There's just something okay? (I need more content on Getwo... guess i'll have to make my own 😤)

(Do not question Gojo's knowledge. He's a walking encyclopedia. Annoying tf outta everyone with the most random facts bc of limitless. No, they didn't want to know that there are over 200 corpses on mount everest used as waypoints for climbers. Him knowing if mc's finger size is nothing to him. He just compared her hand to his bc of the amount of time he watched/held them. Would propose the second he gets out of his cursed rubik's cube.)

these are so good i—

1)

Yes!!! Food was one of the first things I thought after the ability LOL it’s the reason why geto, shoko, gojo always sent rip!mc out to get takeout bc her ability would let it stay warm!! So it does apply to inanimate objects too! And yes, I could def see her pranking gojo with it, especially since he deactivates infinity when they’re alone together. And when he’s annoying her when she’s trying to work it’s war!!!

2)

HE WOULD. That’s exactly what i was thinking of when i wrote that drabble where gojo interrupts the meeting just to answer rip!mc’s phone call. He’d be exorcising a curse, and would randomly call you up because he’s bored and wants to hear your voice and then he’d start complaining to you about how you’re never in tokyo!! Meanwhile rip!mc is none the wiser, except for when sometimes you can hear a crashing noise in the background.

You hang up at that point.

And yes they have fought together. Well. the best they can fight together considering gojo just blitzes through the curses so rip!mc doesn’t have to raise a finger. Even though it’s your mission. I answered in a previous ask that while they were still in high school gojo used to tag along on rip!mc’s missions so he could ditch meetings haha well that’s the excuse he gave anyway

3)

I FEEL YOU I WANT TO WRITE FOR GETWO SO BADLY!! I think im just waiting for the arc to be almost done but the angst potential....yes getwo is just as charismatic as geto was and that’s my weakness :))))) just his honeyed words and pleasant smiles as he talks about how much he missed you even though you instinctively know that that’s not the suguru you knew, but the curl of his lips as if he knows a secret you aren’t privy to, the way he holds himself, confident, self-assured, the same exact way he used to makes you falter—

4)

I’m glad we’ve collectively agreed as a fandom that gojo is indeed a walking encyclopedia. Gojo calls rip!mc at three in the morning (bc he had a feeling you’d be awake. But also sometimes he wakes you up for the hell of it, and you always end up indulging him anyway) and randomly starts talking about conspiracy theories, and then before you realize the two of you are in a full fledged conversation about your research and gojo is keeping up with you every step with the way. And that’s when you notice his slight rasp, the warmth in his voice when he chuckles at something you say, how he says your name in a tone you’ve never heard him use on anyone else before— 

that’s when you tell him you have to go— early morning!

Also Gojo’s fixation with rip!mc’s hands is definitely😁

Anime Reviews #5

Spoilers for Death Parade, Jujutsu Kaisen, Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song, and Akudama Drive.

Death Parade Episode 1: This series is an interesting take on the idea of judgement in the afterlife. Apparently, two people that die at the same moment are paired, and they play a game which decides whether they go to heaven or hell. This episode had a couple who were on their honeymoon. They played a game of darts, except the different areas of the board corresponded to different parts of the body, and when you hit one, it caused pain in that region for the other person. It did not end well; the couple seemed happy in the beginning, but the game really brought out who they truly were. This is the first series where I genuinely didn't care for anything about it. I'm sorry for Death Parade fans, but this show is not my cup of tea.

Favorite part of episode: None.

Favorite character: None.

************************************************************************

Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 7: Gojo went off this episode. He battled a curse named Jogo and beat him pretty handily. He brought Yuji along to watch. We learned about two new abilities: Infinity, which prevents people from touching Gojo (unless he touches them), and Domain Expansion, which is basically creating a home field advantage (or, as Yuji put it, a buff in a video game). We also saw Gojo's eyes for the first time, and they were absolutely beautiful. I wonder why he wears the blindfold. I thought it was because he didn't have eyes/had lost his eyes, but no, they're there. It seems to be implied that Gojo has extremely heightened senses, to the point of being able to perceive everything in the world, so maybe it's for sensory overload. The curses apparently live on a beach, and one of them, Mahito, gives me serious Cutthroat vibes (similar voices and color schemes).

Favorite part of episode:

1. Yuji watching a dramatic, tear-jerking Lord of the Rings scene (the scene where Sam says he'll never leave Frodo) for his movie training. It's pretty obvious what it is; they didn't even change the names, and the characters are drawn to look pretty similar to the actual actors. I'm surprised they didn't get copyrighted.

2. Gojo irritating Jogo by holding his hand and acting like they're in a rom-com.

3. Yuji shouting "Mt. Fuji! His head looks like Mt. Fuji!" when he first sees Jogo.

Favorite character: I like Gojo; I'm not obsessed with him like most of the fandom seems to be, but he's an interesting character.

************************************************************************

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song Episode 2: Vivy and Matsumoto save an assemblyman whose death started the sequence of events that would lead to a war between AI and humans. Also, Vivy saves a member of the anti-AI terrorist group. The preview for the next episode had the little girl Vivy befriended in Episode 1 get blown up in an airplane, so that was very sad, and also some mood whiplash. I suspect this mission to change the course of history wont go as expected.

Favorite part of episode: None.

Favorite character: Matsumoto, although I like him a little less now. He's clever, but also a bit too know-it-all.

************************************************************************

Akudama Drive Episode 6: A relaxing episode after the chaos of Episode 5. The Akudama escape the Shinkansen with the girl and boy, but Hacker remains on the train, wanting to see Kanto. He gives Swindler one of his drones as a parting gift. The rest group at a house just outside of the Absolute Decontamination Zone. Doctor demands answers out of the boy and girl, but Swindler defends them, calling Doctor a bully, and everyone else agrees with her. Their next destination is Expo Park. They all eat various foods, from a magic tin that the boy and girl have, and then most of them nap. Swindler tries to give Courier his money back, and Doctor claims that she knows what Swindler's up to and demands that she "drop the act". Meanwhile, the head Executioner spoke to three unknown beings about how Master and Pupil failed to kill the Akudama, and Master and Pupil are suspended. Master, however, escapes the hospital and confronts the Akudama in a sewer shortcut to Expo Park.

Favorite part of episode:

1. Cutthroat singing in the bathtub.

2. The magic tin and the choices of food (especially funny was Cutthroat, who asked for marshmallows; Doctor, who got wine and cheese; and Hoodlum, who couldn't get ramen because it would dirty the tin (he settled for mochi)).

Favorite character: I admired Swindler this episode, for standing up to Doctor (who I think is meant to be an unlikeable character). Hoodlum and Brawler were, of course, amazing as well.
