Why Jujutsu Kaisen’s Deaths IS Good Writing
Tumblr media
| | SPOILER ALERT ; my hero academia season 6, jujutsu kaisen season 2 | |
I’ve seen this brought up a lot on Twitter, the argument that Gege Akutami doesn’t know how to write and the deaths were just lazy writing. This argument stems from My Hero Academia’s Paranormal Liberation War (PLW) and Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Incident (SI) being out around the same time. This will be discussed for anime only as I’ve only watched the anime for both. Spoilers for both.
Without diving too deep into what PLW was about, I will explain only the things that are important to what I will discuss. Class A-1 has about 20 students and their teacher Shouta Aizawa, this means all 20 students along with a fellow class and other pro heroes were involved in this war against the villains while SI had Yuji Itadori alongside his classmates Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro, Maki Zen’in, Toge Inumaki, and Panda. With the students with Utahime Iori and the sorcerers. Akutami makes it very clear that they are not afraid of killing off characters. What made me very nervous was the fact there was an extremely high possibility for my favorite characters to die, which some did. The characters in the PLW are packed with main character armor which doesn’t make me feel much fear for them as in the end none of the fights scared me.
Satoru Gojo being sealed into the prison realm is what makes the viewer afraid, without one of the most powerful characters out it raises the stakes. Having main characters be on the chopping block is what makes writing unpredictable, a popular argument is that the writing is simply just a shock factor which I don’t agree with, While the deaths were shocking, they served some amount of purpose, for example, Junpei Yoshino who died in season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen. Junpei served as the first of Mahito’s victims related to Yuji Itadori. An important thing to take into consideration when talking about deaths in Shonen anime is that there needs to be something at stake, something that makes you feel afraid for the characters. Whenever I see a villain on screen I feel an instant rush of fear for the characters, take the scene in episode 18 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 where Kento Nanami is fighting the transfigured humans at the train station. With half of his body being burnt there's a sense of fear, then Mahito appears behind him. That scene was beautifully done as we see Nanami fighting until he can’t fight anymore, the pause as relief rushes through your body until Mahito is shown then Haibara is shown. It’s a pretty realistic scene if you ignore the curses and fictional elements. Now compare that to watching the fight between Fumikage Tokoyami, Keigo Takami, and Dabi in PLW.
There wasn’t any fear considering it becomes painfully obvious that the stakes aren’t up when the ‘good guys’ are constantly given plot armor and win every fight with little to no long-term damage as Keigo’s wings work again after a while.
During the Hidden Inventory episodes with young Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Riko Amanai, while yes Riko’s death was very sudden at that moment, it served as a starting point for what is one of the best-written origin stories. This will be a completely different post but Riko’s death holds a long-term effect as it kickstarts the downfall of Suguru Geto from his cult to his death in Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Now compare that to the death of Jin Bubaigawara in PLW whose death only starts Himiko Toga’s mental breakdown and a realization that she and her friends could very well be next but it holds no other importance after her fight with Uraraka and Asui afterward. While I’m not trying to praise Gege Akutami as a writing God it’s important to take in the factor of death holding long-term importance in a series.
Another good example is the fight between Aoi Todo, Yuji Itadori, and Mahito. During the fight Aoi cuts off his hand after being touched by Mahito, therefore removing his ability to use boogie woogie later on in the story aside from the one he did by clapping Mahito’s hand in what could probably be in my top 5 moments in Jujutsu Kaisen. Moments like Nobara’s death hold some importance to the characters and act as motivations rather than  just something to get a gasp out of viewers. It’s easy to say that Nobara and Nanami’s deaths kickstarted the snow scene between Yuji and Mahito, showing a very new side of him. 
In conclusion, I don’t think the writing for Jujutsu Kaisen is lazy. I believe that killing off characters is something that should be seen as good rather than fully negative just because your favorite character died. If you enjoyed this then yay, if you didn’t then feel free to give me your opinion in the comments. Again, if there was anything said that wasn’t true then do let me know. Have a great day.

speaking of role-less characters and background characters that served their purpose i couldn't help but be reminded of this reddit post
it seems that jjk is nearing the end somewhat and some of the characters might come back as a filler and whatnot but needless to say i dont think gege likes to focus much on female characters, heck even maki was done somewhat dirty but he brought her back for a shortwhile, nobara? who knows but she was supposed to be a main fem lead and look how that ended. idk
hmmm i actually like how gege handles his female characters. he actually gives them a personality and development—which is the bare minimum, but is something we rarely ever see in manga, much less a shonen.
i don’t think maki was done dirty? i actually really like what’s being done with her character. it’s clear that she’s part of the main cast, as she’s been utilized throughout the story and will probably continue to be used to the end. she actually has a story—she has development. she’s part of something that’s been built up since the first season, so it would be weird to simply drop her like a side character (especially since that plot point is still somewhat relevant).
nobaras character is a bit more tragic, but i don’t exactly hate what was done with her character. she was very well written, even during her death. (of course, her status is still technically unknown, but i don’t think she’s going to be brought back). nobara had her own little story, and even though it didn’t fit with the overall plot, it still got played out very well. unfortunately, some characters do have to die for plot progression.
overall, i don’t think gege doesn’t care about female characters. he writes them well compared to other shonen writers. however, he still does have a male dominated main cast. a bit upsetting, but it is shonen, so i don’t have very high expectations. however, just because i like them doesn’t mean you have to! there may be certain aspects that you noticed that i didn’t or certain aspects we have different opinions on, and that’s perfectly fine. (though id love to hear your thoughts on them, anon. i rarely see criticism revolving geges treatment of his female characters, so you may have been exposed to things i wasn’t.)
i do agree with the reddit post tho! some side characters are just side characters. not every character needs a story. that, however, doesn’t mean they can’t be utilized. i do think utahime can be used as a way to show how the situation is being handled, how it’s affecting her students, and how those close to the jujutsu world hierarchy (apart from the main cast) see the situation (she is a teacher and has to follow the higher ups, but she also has students she needs to take care of). i’m not saying she needs to be part of the main cast or needs to have a full out story, but i do think she can be used as a side character a bit more. we’ve seen how the main cast + other sorcerers are handling things, but how about those working directly under the higher ups? what is going on there? do they have plans? utahime can be a way to introduce that a bit more. (we know some, but not a lot.)
gege doesn’t have to do any of this, of course! i simply just find it interesting. the story will go on just fine if none of this is talked about or if it is brought up in a different manner.
utahime as a character doesn’t interest me much, simply because we’ve seen so little of her, so whether or not she shows up later in the story isn’t important to me, but i do think there is some potential there (though not a lot, as her presence would not be necessary to show the things i mentioned above).
sorry if this doesn’t make any sense btw i only slept three hours last night and wrote this while half asleep.

okay, so last time we figured out who would represent each element of harmony, now who would represent each of the seven deadly sins: wrath, envy, greed, sloth, lust, gluttony, & pride?
you can look at it from the perspective of who fits these sins most (derogatory) (as in like bad people like toji lol) or who fits these sins the most (affectionate) (character flaws or how they character may feel about themself). honestly, interpret this question the way that you want MWAH <3
omg babe what an interesting question that i totally wasn't prepared for 🤩
imma answer this in two ways - first who just genuinely fits the sin and then second, who had that sin placed upon them like in the anime <3
wrath, suguru
okay, so, i say suguru because, well, let’s be real here: his wrath is what drove him. it was his wrath upon seeing nanako and mimiko beaten and in cages that drove him to murder. it was suguru’s wrath towards the higher ups and those in charge that did nothing that sent him spiraling. suguru was angry and full of wrath because of the circumstances around him. his anger drives him, and that’s why he’s wrath.
envy, mechamaru
i feel kind of bad putting him here, but i feel like he fits envy best because he acted upon his envy and it ended up hurting people that he loved. he was so envious of those who got to be with his friends and of those that got to exist - i mean, his whole fight with panda involved him being jealous that panda wasn’t human and got to be with everyone. his envy leads him to betraying everyone. thankfully, he turned around at the end, but he still acted dangerously due to his (very valid) envy.
greed, mei mei
do i need to explain this one?
sloth, gakuganji
i hate this mans. okay no i have him for sloth because he knows all this crap is going down and he lets it. he asked his sTUDENTS to kill yuuji because he was too lazy to do it himself. he prolly knows that mai and noritoshi are being abused and just sits and lets it happen and doesn't care about them nor try to help them like satoru and yaga and probably utahime too. where was He during shibuya??? the zen'in clan did more than him to help. they didn't do a lot, but they did more and that says something.
lust, kenny
look. kenny is Literally lust. lusting after bodies, what you wanted to hook up with itadori jin? you wanted suguru's body? lusting after all of them. silly little guy. tbh i feel like he honestly fits gluttony more, but lust is just too funny to not give him.
gluttony, toji
so i chose toji for gluttony because that’s what drives him. he wants money. he wants money so badly that he sold his son. he’s willing to kill a bunch of people for money. that’s all he cares about. he just wants more money. gluttony can be defined as an endless need to be sated. he could fit greed, he really could, but i get massive gluttony vibes from him. whenever he has enough, he does everything to get more. i just. feel this. i just feel the vibes.
pride, mahito
i hate this mans too, and i say pride because he is such a cocky little piece of trash. he uses his pride to torment the people around him, like yuuji and nanami and nobara and junpei. mahito genuinely think he's the best, he was even so consumed with pride that he thought sukuna would just be so chill with him and would love him.
okay now i’m going to assign sins to jjk characters who would label themselves with the sin or were *wrongfully* labeled as the sin due to the higher ups to make them look bad
wrath, yuuta
yuuta would be labeled as wrath due to rika. because he’s “dangerous” and “evil” and his wrath causes him to kill and murder... when, really, it’s just his original inability to understand what’s happening and how rika is here and manifested. and since the higher ups are so scared of how powerful yuuta is, they criminalize him and label him as wrathful
envy, maki
maki is like. set up for envy, you know? the higher ups can so easily turn her into an envious criminal who lashed out and murdered everyone because she was jealous of their cursed energy. it’s not fair to maki, but nothing is ever fair for jujutsu sorcerers.
greed, hakari
i feel like hakari would work here. i think it’s safe to say that hakari does struggle with greed, but not to the point where it is detrimental to him or those around him. greed just seems like something he engages in for funsies, like casual greed. i also feel like he’d be a good scapegoat for the higher ups after the culling games... like, if they needed someone to blame, hakari is powerful enough and had some trouble in school so they could just. call him greedy and then call it a day.
sloth, shoko
i feel like shoko would personally feel like she is sloth because she’s never fighting. she would feel like she’s sloth because she “didn’t do anything to help suguru” before he spiraled, she “didn’t help the kids”, she “didn’t do anything to help during shibuya”, she “didn’t do anything to prevent satoru from being sealed”. i just feel like her guilt manifests into her personal identification as the sin of sloth.
lust, todo
tbh i wasn’t sure who to put here, so i just put todo because idk he’s lusting after takeda (tho he would Never be like creepy to her or anything) or ig you could say he’s lusting after strong sorcerers to test his own strength? like i feel like that works. the higher ups prolly hated todo too because he’s super powerful but they couldn’t manipulate him like they could everyone else because he simply does not care about authority and they need to Earn his respect and they haven’t yet.
gluttony, yuuji
we all know that the higher ups hate yuuji. let’s be real. they’d frame him as a glutton for continuously eating sukuna’s fingers and for eating them in the first place. yuuji would 100% believe this and would prolly hate himself because of it:/ but like. that would happen.
pride, satoru
let’s be real. is he prideful? no. @zukkaoru made a great post about this, actually, but the higher ups and everyone label satoru as prideful and cocky, and often, he pretends to be because it’s the only way to save the kids and to handle everything going on in his life. satoru is not prideful; he has as much pride as he should have. but the higher ups quite literally label him as this cocky, arrogant, idiotic God that needs to be destroyed. therefore, they label him as prideful to make him appear less powerful than he is because they’re scared of him.

I think your speculation is very plausible to be honest, given that this is a very complex written character, reading him more critically can be difficult for many people, 'specially if they aren't interested to read him deeply in the first place.
Nonetheless i agree and i wanna add something - i think that love & tenderness is vsry important in JJK and i believe that was exploited not only against Gojo but others plenty times. Regardless of who, i think that he is extremely cautious and not only would he not want to get anyone involved like that but also sleeping around for someone like him would leave him feeling even more hollow and Gojo is not the kind of person that's looking to put himself through pain so conciously, not more than he already is.
I think he would only do it with someone he trusted utterly, and this is why i think that friends in a way are lovers too, it just depends on the person. Perhaps Gojo is not so expressive sexually as he is impulsive and hedonistic but i think that's also because he's repressed in that aspect for close intimacy as you said for previous reasons. I think he would become more clingy and touchy after doing it with someone he loves, he just needs someone to take the lead if that makes sense? And yes, what you said, it would really help him decompress in certain aspects.
Of course, it appears none of this is on Akutami's mind and he hasn't written him as a character where sex/romance is proportional on his mind but i think that these headcanons are one of the most plausible ones that don't ruin or contradict his character but could possibly work and fit for him. Let me know what you think!
Tumblr media
Uhh, so the majority of this ask was comprised of what I’d said and mentioned previously! So I won’t comment on that stuff for fear of repetition lol
‘Nonetheless i agree and i wanna add something - i think that love & tenderness is very important in JJK and i believe that was exploited not only against Gojo but others plenty times.’
But I’ll give you my thoughts on this. I really appreciate Akutami’s efforts to normalise love and tenderness in an action-based plot. None of the characters are conventionally ‘masculine’. You don’t have the typical tropes of the tough-guy/vulnerability fearing characters who often take up the spotlight in shonen. 
Some of the moments I really love include:
The scene where Itadori balls up in front of Todo in Shibuya. It’s such a visceral expression of vulnerability, and really serves to illustrate how much pain Itadori has been in. I think this breakdown really comes as a result of everything that’s happened in that one night, as well as everything he’s been bottling up pre-Shibuya. Poor kid.
The interactions between Satoru and Suguru. In Okinawa, you’ve got Suguru asking about Satoru out of concern (and the line- ‘you’re here too’ always gets to me haha), as well as the infamous ‘have you lost weight?’. It really highlights their intimacy in a subtle and realistic way. It’s always the small things!
The non-combative relationship between Shoko and Utahime, as well as the relationship between Itadori and Todo. I also think that Suguru’s relationship with his ‘family’ shouldn’t be overlooked either because he genuinely cared for them. On a similar note, I’d argue that there was a similar level of care/affection between the Hanami-Jogo-Dagon trio. This all serves to flesh out these antagonists and make them a lot less one-sided (really adds an extra layer when Jogo is killed by Sukuna and when Suguru dies at the end of JJK0).
Ok! But on the flipside, I can think of various instances where these relationships were used to the detriment of the characters in question. 
Satoru was definitely exploited in his unwillingness to execute Suguru in Shinjuku (Suguru takes advantage of his sentimentality to walk away), when he refused to dispose of Suguru’s body (Kenjaku lol), and finally in Shibuya (Kenjaku again). 
Itadori was similarly exploited by Mahito, who took advantage of his inability to hurt other humans. His kindness is also constantly leveraged against him- e.g. Mahito targeting Junpei, Nobara and Nanami to break him down, Sukuna and his constant psychological barrage. 
 That’s all I’ve got for now!

Gojo's past arc does a lot to elevate Gojo's character.
In fact, what is so frustrating about anime-onlies only claiming that Gojo exists just to be a badass cool OP character or be a hype machine and lacks complexity or development, is that they are right.
For the first season, Gojo isn't anything compelling. We know he has a goal to reset the jujutsu world using education to nurture strong and clever allies, has a personal dislike of the conservative authorities, wants to preserve the youth's best days, and is the strongest.
So far, nothing about that is very engaging, and in fact, seems rather standard for any type of mentor figure.
I mean, by that alone, I still wonder how anyone could think Gojo is shaping up to be the Big Bad, but that's another topic at hand.
What Gojo's past arc does, however, is
1. Humanizes him
2. Introduces his themes
3. Recontextualizes all of his words and actions
Gojo is humanized when we get to see him as the same age as the protagonists, a high school kid. Sure, he's cocky and rather rude and mean, claiming it's tiresome to protect the weak and belitting Utahime.
But that's juxtaposed by when Gojo is the one who brings up the choice for letting the Star Plasma vessel choose. By delaying their return to Jujutsu High because he noticed that Amanai was disappointed in leaving early. By overexhausting himself to keep guard over her.
So even as a teenager, he shows signs of wanting to give choices to people and preserve or honor their last moments. We see this when he asks both Geto and Toji their final words as well.
When he fights Toji, he claims that he wasn't angry or getting revenge, but some people tend to take this as Gojo did not care for Amanai at all. But it's pretty clear that he did, and that's why he also wanted to murder all the cultists clapping for her death.
In general, Gojo's thoughts and actions hold less weight and credibility to them in this instance because he had just had a near death experience and was having some power high, as also seen by his crash. Again, Toji wonders if he's high, and Gojo specifically says that he would not feel anything right now if he were to murder all of the cultists.
We also see him fail.
And that leads into the themes Gojo conveys.
There was an inkling in the first season, especially when he says after casting Domain Expansion, "those who have everything cannot do anything" and the fact that he cannot accomplish his dream with just power, but Gojo's character seems to involve themes of strength and weakness, as well as dehumanization and loneliness. (We will see further expansion in Shibuya)
The arc opens up with how Amanai was being dehumanized, only to be Tengen's vessel. Toji usually only refers to Gojo as Six Eyes. Geto ends up dehumanizing non-sorcerers to monkeys. Toji himself was dehumanized as we can infer from Momo's speech to Nobara.
(Shibuya further expands on this with providing information that Jujutsu world maintains peace because Gojo's birth altered the world's balance.)
This dehumanization is because of Gojo's strength, and thus capitalizes his loneliness. We see that he and Geto say "we're the strongest" and we can even see that Gojo is fine with overusing his power because Geto was there. We have never seen this level of trust and reliance from Gojo to another character. We also see Geto being one of the few characters who thank and worry for him. This is why Geto is Gojo's only best friend he had. (And this is why he falters so hard in Shibuya.)
However, even Geto falls into his trap, when he asks "are you Gojo Satoru because you are the strongest, or are you the strongest because you are Gojo Satoru?" Nanami, who eventually grows up to say that "being a child isn't a sin" originally wanted Gojo, a child, to carry all the burden and responsibility because he alone could be able to do it.
In the volume 10 extra, people are asked what they think of Gojo, but it all ends with them saying that he is the strongest with Gojo standing alone.
Yet despite his strength, he could not save anyone. He could not save Amanai, and he could not save Geto.
That's why his goal and desires have been strongly recontextualized.
After he meets Geto in Shinjuku, he states to Yaga, "my strength alone isn't enough. I can only save those who wants to be saved."
That's why he gives Megumi, Yuta, and Yuji choices, even if they aren't major ones. And that's why he kills Geto, because Geto still did not want to be saved when he said he had no regrets.
That's why he seeks strong comrades, because he alone cannot stop the corruption prevalent in jujutsu society. Similarly to All Might from My Hero Academia, Gojo can save many sorcerers by overworking himself and taking all the missions, but there will still be cases where people will not be saved, as seen by Yuji's death in Cursed Womb.
But that's also why he feels strongly about letting kids enjoy being kids. Because from what we can infer, he probably didn't have a happy childhood either.
And I got all of this, speed reading the entirety of Jujutsu Kasien in one day. So yeah, sorry I'm a bit bitter and irritated that people seem to have this fly over their head?
After I finished Gojo's past arc, he immediately became my favorite character, skyrocketing far past Megumi, especially because to me, I was craving something like this, something that explores OP characters further or deconstructs/subverts the "Superman".
And then Shibuya just added even more.

if akutami’s involve in the vol 0 movie promotion,, it would probably be deadpool-esque promo for vol 0 movie :
"merry christmas ❤️" ; "a story about love"
crossing my fingers for some ovas for the lightnovel(s)
we'd be lucky if we get 5 seasons, but judging by how sensei wants to end it quickly,, well, 4 is pushing it. i think.
i rly want to see what actually happened in the goodwill event where yuuta won,, and how he left with miguel? it'd be the perfect way to tease shibuya arc (assuming that they'll release the movie before S2)
from the PV itself, i'm guessing it's gonna take 6 months (unlikely) or a year or 2 before the movie comes out,, so same rules apply with season 2, unfortunately. or, they'd release the movie during S2's break ,, or the most plausible one: after S2 (if they plan to include the time-skip and geto’s appearance in season 3 instead)
i wonder,, if they would give a glimpse of toji since playful cloud is in geto’s possesion at that time
i rly wish rika got to grow up and become the feral curbstomping gremlin shaman we all know she would have become,, the more i think of her backstory details the more i feel there’s so much unsaid abt the nature of her and yuuta's relationship
AND ???? (HOPEFULLY) JUJUSANPOS WITH SHOKO?? akutami,, u have 1 job left 😩
*clench fist* u-utashoko content pls
tbrh i feel that it's hard to say sth abt shoko from a canon pov bc we don't see her interactions with them as much, but that gives us room to play!! ,, i think she’s just as nasty in personality as they are (for some reason,, i feel like it’s fight in first sight in their first year, gojou is definitely more of a brat before meeting them) , lol, but in a more dry, cutting way - and it's telling that geto approached her after he defected even though he said he didn't think he could convince her.
i think she's quite clearheaded but very firm in her stance, and i think she would have found gojou and geto dynamic very interesting and entertaining to watch. I imagine in many cases if either of them wanted to talk about the other, they would have gone to her, bc of her familiarity, and bc she's so plainspoken. i think she knows them on a level very few other people do. in a way, she is their witness and observer. i also think it's notable her promoted ability is reverse CT - bc that's just a way of using curse power but it's not an inherited technique in and of itself. this suggests to me that her CT could actually be sth else! since the satosugu dynamics does play into the theme of power in the jjk world, it makes me curious what shoko's ability is and how it would factor into their interactions. In the team, i would wonder if shouko holds herself apart from gojou and geto
@/&/$:&3@ the way i’ll get my hands in any fan works abt shoko 😭 ,, one of my favorite doujin shows shoko’s view as an “outsider” after geto’s death, it’s privated now 💔 but i’m pretty sure it was made by either : AND__re or sin_chin_taisha
iirc the doujin took place in the summer after geto’s death and gojo barged into shoko’s office to visit his grave which confused shoko like “u made a grave for him?? when??” but gojou was “anyways, do u want to come?”— and they went over to geto’s grave and clean it,, all the while shoko had flashback of their student days and her last line was that : “in the end, both of us are a sinner” (referring to how they couldnt stop geto when he spiraled) while the panel shows gojou carefully arranging the flowers + that wistful expression
the last two panels were of stsg visiting a beach together (i assume before HI arc) and it goes like :
gojou : “what if we conquer the world?”
geto : “eh? that’s too much of a hassle”
gojou : “but we can do it anyways, after all, we’re the strongest”
geto : “*laugh* well, you’re not wrong”
gojou kept on talking but when he turn to look at the place geto sat beside him, geto has vanished and all he can see is the vast ocean 😭😭😭😭
also this (though it’s in cn, u can still google translate it) : https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/85662072 ,, this one is abt shoko’s pov starting from their 1st year and what i actually want from akutami 🥴
+ https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/77685037 (the grim/ bittersweet atmosphere + utahime 😩) - 🐱
The movie is going to kill me 😁
I am SO curious about rika like her character profile in the book was fishy as hell 😭
YES!!! if shoko was utilized RIGHT then she could be such an GOOD character. shoko is the only person in the world who knew gojo and geto on that personal level as surface level friends while still being an outsider to their relationship. she has a perspective nobody else in the manga has and yet........and YET!!!! that tentative trust on geto’s end when he approached shoko and how shoko was like “lmao you loser” god.....
that’s such a cool idea omg if shoko’s CT is actually something else and akutami shows us....I’m going to go FERAL. i just want to know more of her outside of stsg you know??? like not just shoko the thirdwheel but more about her family, her friends (whether or not she has civilian friends), etc.
the fanbook didn’t give us SHIT give it to me akutami!!!!!

Thank youuuuuuu they’re super relaxing to make so I’m glad you like them specifically!!
Anon said: whenever im crying i just look up your geto-sensei art and cry even more. it's a nice way to let it all out, so....thank you :D
It’s the Geto-sensei effect...........🙏🙏😭😭😭
Anon said: So you mentioned in one of your previous asks that your shipping krbk is in one of your asks you said that you ship krbk based on their canon relationship and you don’t really *feel* them as much because of that scene where Kiri was hanging with Todo instead of Baku and I totally understand how you feel BUT!!!!!!!!!!! consider this: after Todo went to visit his dad with the rest of his family, Mina Momo and Kiri are nowhere to be seen and where else would Kiri go except to visit his boyfriend?
Ah, but that would still be headcanon and not actual canon, wouldn’t it? 😂
Anon said: I usually struggle to pronounce things so I keep reading your url as "friend art" and I think that just makes my experience on your blog all the more fantastic.
That makes me happy to hear actually!!! I def hope my art comes off as friendly most of the times at the very least! :D
Anon said: that satosugu comic where Gojo broke his shades was so clever, man I wish I had your mind
GOSH that’s such a compliment, thank you so much!!!! ;A; my mind’s nothing special tho, I assure you haha
Anon said: i just found your blog and immediate follow i am obsessed OBSESSED you hear me!! so (i know im late) but i saw your tag that went along the lines of “i remember when getwo said gojo is considerate at the most awkward of times, thats my favorite character trait of him” and YES YES YES that line literally kept me up at night, imagining gojo getting random waves of intense empathy and your art just made me think further like what if its less “random”empathy and more when hes exposed to something that hits a nerve (usually the nerve involving geto). so like in your comic he suddenly feels for shoko and starts to harass utahime because it hits the part of him that knows how frustrating it is to long and pine over someone, and gojo our emotionally unaware king instead of fully facing his feelings about geto instead takes his annoyance and frustration out on poor utahime (also like you said he just likes pissing her off). same with him not getting rid of the body but also other little headcanons like as much as he likes to mess with his students, pre-shibuya he goes out of his way never interrupt nobamaki training sessions, even if its kinda important cus he understands how precious those fleeting moments are with your crush (he goes and harasses megumi instead who threatens to summon a dragon shikigami if he doesnt go away). Out of (seemingly) nowhere he throws a tantrum with the elders to get megumi and yujis dorm rooms next door, because he knows the comfort of having the people you care about close (you never know when they’ll be gone). anyway im rambling at this point but you get it :’)
Yes yes yes it’s such a sweet little thing about him I love it so much!!!! Gojo’s a very complex character isn’t he? Thinking about this kind of throwaway lines about him makes me love him even more, especially when they imply that there’s more to his feelings and way of processing them than his surface way of acting would let you believe ;;;;;
Anon said: the most hilarious panel to me is in chap 65 when yaga asks who forgot to put the curtain down and everyone points to gojo while hes like “sensei!! we are better than pointing fingers at each other!!” 😭😭 so now im imagining satosugu where sugurus like “who ate the rest of my soba? 🙃” and gojos like “you know, a huge part of loving someone is sharing all parts of yourself with them 🥰😘❤️” and suguru activates uzumaki // (anon who just sent the satosugu soba uzumaki headcanon) i also hope it didnt come off like a request it deff wasnt, i just wanted to share my headcanon 😭😭😭
No but why is he like thisssss 😂😂😂😂 I love him so much he’s so incredibly annoying in the most endearing way hahaha and yes absolutely Suguru has definitely been ready to throw serious hands with him on this kind of things way more often than his serious face would lead you to assume, they’re so dumb!!!!!!! They’re so dumb I love them 😂💕💕💕
Anon said: Hi, sorry if I got the wrong blog but I’m pretty sure you made a super cute bokuto/ kuroo/ terushima tattoo artist comic, but I couldn’t find it when I went through ur haikyuu tag, did it get deleted or something? sorry to bother if I’m wrong! thanks!
I did yes! You can find it here!!!
Anon said: The pure readability of your comics is outstanding! Every time you post something I click on your blog and end up scrolling to the bottom lol- every frickin post is a banger.
Anon what a compliment!!!!!!! Thank you so much this makes me so incredibly happy to hear!!!!!! ;A; 💕💕
Anon said: Hi hun! With MHA finally getting to the animation of the joint training arc, do you think we'll see some more Class 1-B boys? I love them drawn in your style and I'd love to see more if the inspiration so compels you! :3c
I wonder!!! What I feel like drawing is so incredibly random even to me that predicting this kind of things is impossible - maybe!! I’d very much like to, I just gotta find the right moment for it :D
Anon said: Sososo same records of ragnarok anon again I'm having?? Feelings?? About Jack the Ripper ?? Mainly internal yelling about how he's so clever and pretty but also. Confusion. Because like the fighters are meant to be the greatest fighters of humanity right?? And Jack just. Wasn't really a fighter?? Being a serial killer does not necessarily implies being able to fight and he didn't kill that much people everyone knows him because he was never caught but?? He wasn't really a fighter?? And I'm just confused as to why he was brought into that like it is just because he's a great criminal mystery?? I mean sure he won and all that but. Guy wasn't a fighter, he was just clever as fuck. (also I'm curious what colour do you think his eyes would be?)
AH he’s not the only fighter who isn’t an actual fighter on the side of humans!! Like Nostradamus, for example, anddddd Tesla! Tesla was in the list as well - but also Adam, I’d say! He was just some dude, nothing implies he’d be able to fight in his story - I think the author is using the words “greatest fighters” as a very general way of implying the greatest humans (in his mind, that is). I mean, I’d assume Buddha wouldn’t fight either, and yet here we are hahaha it’s fun tho, isn’t it!!! To try and figure out how they could ever fight, and then seeing it!!! Extremely amusing - also Jack has official colors!!! his eyes are one black and one red, you can see him in his full colored glory here! By the way have you seen Buddha’s official colors I’m still crying over them 😭😭😭😭 he’s so beautiful my heart can’t take him at all 😭💕💕💕
