Not really much for a discussion here but it's just smth that's been on my mind I need to eject it sorry 🙏 A thing I rlly rlly like about jjk is the theme of saving people as well as the fact that characters actions actually have consequences that often times are fatal if not for them for others around them. I think one of the most consistently relevant quotes from jjk, especially relating to recent chapters but we don't need to talk about them 🤕🤒🤧, is when megumi (WHERE IS HE) was like "what happens when the person you save goes on to kill someone else?" Bc like. This whole thing started because yuji saved megumi who then decided to save yuji despite knowing he was sukunas, which he later paid for. Not only that but bc of just these choices so many people like just SOOOO many people lost their lives including people they know which is the complete opposite of what yuji is striving for and then add on the fact that pretty much all the big character deaths/megumi takeover </3 happened directly in front of yuji which is brutal but also extremely effective in showing us that in this story, protagonist or not actions have consequences and plot armour isn't gonna save anyone this time. Also whenever I think abt this I'm reminded of when yujis grandpa tells him to "save people even if it's just one" which was really the motive for yujis resolve in the first place, and I'm bringing that up rn because yuji still hasn't been able to save the people he cares for most and it's just. God it's so tragic but it's so good and it's things like this that are the reason I love jjk so much and trust in gege's story telling . Idk if I have a point to this so sorry for the random word vomit but I just think that the specific theme of saving people and the different views everyone has about it, as well as characters actually having to deal with the consequences of their actions (nobara jumping in on the fight with mahito, megumi letting yuji live, just EVERYTHING with gojo tbh, etc) is just done so well done and I really do look forward to (maybe a hint of dread in there too) seeing how he ties it all up. Having said that if he doesn't return my son to me next chapter he WILL be hearing from my lawyer and I will be taking full custody 🤝

Hola!

ok but... I LOVE this! I couldn't agree more!

It's like one big massive hard dish of cold truth. And I think that's what's so deeply resonant about this particular theme in the story is the idea that the road to hell is paved with good intentions because there are simply so many moving parts that are beyond our control.

Of course, in this case, we're also talking about how these characters are responsible for, not just their own misfortunes, but also that of others.

So, as you say, I also love that "in this story, protagonist or not actions have consequences and plot armour isn't gonna save anyone this time".

Because ain't that the fucking truth? Like if I had plot armor going for me I'd be a millionaire by now lol. But instead I have to sit with the consequences of my choices loooool.

idk, I am going on a tangent here but I just love how Gege can write about these deep truths about the human condition that are so relatable and agree with you that he's doing a beautiful job of it.

And to me, that's the kind of storytelling I like. So I also hear you about trusting Gege's storytelling.

I'm looking forward to seeing where Gege takes this whole thing AND to more word vomit from you too! Thank you for sharing the jjk-love!

Also, I'm totally interested in joining a class-action suit against Gege for custody of Megumi LOL 🤝.

Thank youuuuuuuuu 🫶🏼.
