i still haven’t written out my 261 metapost but i can’t stop thinking about the stsg subtext in that chapter . the parallels between geto slaughtering the village and gojo slaughtering the higher ups…. the fact that gojo does it right after declaring that he has to “catch up” to geto

#IT’S SOOOOOOO #i will die defending gege akutami’s character writing i’m sorry #i think the shinjuku arc is sloppy when it comes to pacing and some technical fight stuff #but character writing wise it’s SO fucking good it’s so incredible it drives me insane #character writing AND relationship writing #which imo are gege’s strongest points aside from fight choreography #like it just . drives me insane #it’s such an interesting line!!!#he needs to Catch Up to geto. he needs to make a choice for himself not knowing if it’s right or wrong just like he did #he needs to carry through with an extreme action to get the change he wants .#instead of the slow “root cause” method that he himself implemented #(which for the record would have been smarter in geto’s case but for gojo’s goal extreme violence Works )#i also think that on some level it’s like … kinda proving geto’s point?#“you could do it satoru.” he has the power to change the world almost however he wants and he finally used it #at the expense of his own morality and sense of reason. which does turn him into a “monster” narratively i think #i mean . obviously i don’t think gojo killing the higher ups makes him a bad person 😭 it’s a very big deal for gojo’s character though!!#he’s always been capable of cold pragmatism. and he’s always been willing to get his hands bloodied .#but NOT with humans/sorcerers and that’s the really big distinction . he’s not psychotic. he never has been.#i think gojo was probably scared when he decided to go through with it. because it really is him trading a piece of his humanity away #:((((((((((((#aughhhhhhhh gege akutami i love you but when i fucking catch youuuuuuuuuu #anyway i should rlly save all this for the metapost but 😭 i needed to get it out….#ari noises ✩#meta ✩#jjk manga spoilers #jjk spoilers #jjk 261
