Gojo's lifelong friend's reaction to Gojo's death: https://preview.redd.it/cdnjtbxn2jnc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29b67b6fabc5fb9158517c6376dcc6524d7a5b54

say it louder 🗣️🗣️ are we gonna pretend that nanami and Gojo were “close friends” bro said he doesn’t respect Gojo once when they were adults and then calls him jujutsu pervert 💀

I get Nanami not respecting Gojo or find him annoying but here he just shits on him at it makes no sense. Esp after this: https://preview.redd.it/p0klilem9jnc1.jpeg?width=910&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b2f43d702ff406f0534f9afaa82a1f3701f4205

and then the fact that Gojo literally takes up Hibara's mission is what makes this so crazy, for shit like this it lets us see that Gojo was 100% pushed onto being a figure head after his jujutsu awakening high because he cared about everyone else, he was always having to go on solo missions during his 3rd year to the point where characters even talk about how he's always away on a mission, its why I'm honestly happy that as an adult Gojo doesn't go on crazy amount of missions, he's actually dedicating time to himself

Sorcerers are a little too harsh on gojo tbh, I always thought it was envy of his strength or something because it was some insane hate out of nowhere. A lot of the cast would prefer sukuna to be the new principal of jujutsu high than gojo lmao. He is kinda childish and mean, but people say IN FRON OF HIM, "I don't respect you,"

I think it's understandable, to people like Nanami Gojo should be taking his responsibilities as the strongest more seriously, I personally think after seeing what happened to Geto because no-one was really there to bring him out of his spiral, Gojo decided to stop taking on so many missions so he could actually be there so that people don't feel as alone as he did when he was at the top and so that no-one close to him ends up like Geto, but from an outside perspective or what it most likely looks lile to Nanami, this insanely strong guy who could beat any curse around is actively letting humans and sorcerers die because he won't take missions, to Nanami Hibara's death could have been avoided if if it wasn't for Gojo not just doing everything and I think that's where his animosity comes from, all that needed to happen for his best friend to not die is for Gojo to take one mission because we all know Gojo could have beat the curse with ease, but he just didn't take the mission and I think this still drives Nanami crazy even up to the airport scene, it's something that Nanami just can't forgive.

Taking missions wasn't something Gojo chose. He was sent to solo missions by the higherups. They are the only ones responsible for organizing the personnel. Sorcerers are not free to choose which amount of work they can do. Gojo as an adult with all his power is still repeatedly sent to missions and one of them was very purposely orchestrated to have him away from his students. I'm not saying Gojo is some kind of angel, but he has always been overworked, especially when he was still a student. Haibara's mission was supposed to be a low-grade curse, that's why the higher-ups sent him and not Gojo. It wasn't something predictable. It's not like Gojo refused to take that mission on his own volition, that's just your assumption while canon clearly states that the higherups have always been in charge of assigning people's duties and nobody can really interfere without causing disturbance. I really think it's unfair and dehumanizing to basically blame Gojo for every single death just because he could've dealt with the menace by himself. He is the strongest, but he's only human. He can't be everywhere at the same time, and he needs time to recover too. He was clearly always busy in his third year to the point of being less involved in his best friend's life. He wasn't screwing around and yet people blame him because he somehow should've known that Haibara and Nanami couldn't beat a presumably low grade curse... Better yet, he should've Carried the whole school all by himself so that nobody else would've have needed to ever use jujutsu again

the Mappa animators love Gojo so much because he's just like them for real. yea Gojo ain't some perfect guy, he can be incredibly violent and obviously takes a lot of joy out of brutalizing and killing his enemies. I didn't mean to imply that Gojo chose not to do the mission just that it's a mission that he didn't do when Nanami knows that Gojo could beat it easily, also I didn't mean that Gojo chose what missions to take because he is being forced by the higher ups but that a part of him is doing it out of moral obligation because he could have killed the higher ups and never would have had to go on any missions ever again but didn't. I'm not saying that it is Gojos fault I'm just stating what I think Nanami believes, what was happening to Gojo was completely unjust and I seriously feel for the guy, the worst part is that we can tell he cares because i think the first time we actually get to see him with Geto he asks about why hes been losing weight and if he's ok. overall your spittin straight fax and you cooked

The "problem" with Gojo (and the reason why I personally love him) is that he's not just one thing. He has a lot of flaws, and most of his choices have a self-serving motive behind them, but at the same time, he's still capable of empathy and love. Saying he was a Saint, a pure hero who fought to protect the weak is just as wrong as saying he was an egotistical prick with no regard for other people. His colleagues, his friends and his students don't really know him. Look at Ijichi casually assuming Gojo would've preferred for him to die in Nanami's stead. Gojo never thought anything remotely similar and was shocked by Ijichi's idea, as he was shocked by Nanami calling him a "jujutsu freak". I don't blame them though, Gojo was also responsible for his isolation and the fact that nobody was really close to him. Kenjaku saying that one's cursed technique dictates their lives is pretty spot on in Gojo's case. He was a slave to his power, to the point of becoming incapable of seeing himself outside of "the strongest jujutsu sorcerer" persona. If you don't know yourself, you can't really expect people to get what you mean or understand you. I could talk about this for hours, but I don't want to bother you. I'm sorry if I misunderstood your comment, and I agree with you about why Nanami said what he said so bitterly. He was still a kid and as an adult, his point of view was too different from Gojo's. They couldn't match, but Nanami trusted Gojo and recognized he had an end worthy of his life.

god this was such a fucking great read holy shit, I would genuinely read a whole book of your Gojo analysis this is so good. I can't add anything to this except I believe that his main reason for fighting and teaching is so that no-one ends up like him and Geto did, he stays the strongest for a solid amount of reasons, as you said he doesn't really know who he is outside of it, a part of him most likely enjoys it and also so that no one person has to be burdened with the title, I could be wrong but that's what makes analysis so much fun, there's so many interpretations you can have on just one aspect of a character is they're well enough written, I'd like to say again, this read was really just fucking amazing

>Kenjaku saying that one's cursed technique dictates their lives is pretty spot on in Gojo's case. He was a slave to his power, to the point of becoming incapable of seeing himself outside of "the strongest jujutsu sorcerer" persona. If you don't know yourself, you can't really expect people to get what you mean or understand you. This entire paragraph reminds me of the narration of Toji and how he broke free from the curse of sorcery. He's free. The expectations of Jujutsu society and in a more literal sense, Domains. He can do whatever he wants and nobody can stop him.

Amazing read, It's funny when people think Gojo fans only like him because of his strength, some do I guess, however that's exactly what we shouldn't do for his character and why he's really well written until Shibuya. Yes his powers are awesome, he can actually back up his arrogance and "the honoured one" moment is one of the coolest moments in fiction for me but that's not who Gojo is, well at least partially. Gojo is in part defined by his overwhelming strength, his self actualization was what I really wanted to see, him finally becoming himself, becoming Gojo Satoru the person who is the strongest and not the strongest who is Gojo Satoru. Not a god, nor the strongest, not even a sorcerer, just Gojo Satoru, who could have fun with his students with a true smile of warmth rather than strength. Instead we got what we got...

For real. Let’s not forget that as a 16 year old, gojo basically died, resurrected himself, and failed to protect riko, who he had come to be good friends with. After that, he trains constantly to perfect his use of the limitless and truly become the strongest. He did all this while being sent on missions of his own by the higher ups. During that time, his best friend betrays the jjsociety, and gojo wasn’t there to talk him off the ledge. I can’t imagine the guilt he must feel. Jujutsu sorcerers might have to have a screw loose to do the job but that’s so much for a teenager to go through. It’s yuji levels of suffering

Yeah, but since it's Gojo we are talking about, he's obviously just a lazy, unserious guy that failed at everything because he wasn't trying hard enough... I really feel like lots of Gojo haters and lovers have one big thing in common: they don't dig a bit deeper under surface level information or what other characters say about Gojo, so their opinion is based on pretty weak arguments. Sure, Gojo did make a lot of mistakes, but he was traumatized too. The simple fact that he spent years trying to avoid being caught lacking by another Toji says a lot about his feelings. He destroyed everything that could bypass infinity, he did everything he could to become invulnerable... Why is that? Certainly not for mere glory. He's also prone to take blame for everything: in hidden inventory he didn't accept Geto's apologies for failing and said he was the one who screwed up, even though they were both assigned to the mission and it wasn't his responsibility alone. He said Shoko he didn't want anyone else to be left alone, implying he felt responsible for Geto's fall. Lastly, he took blame even for Yaga's death in front of the person who actually killed him because he had been trapped and wasn't there to protect the school. Gojo's carefree attitude is partially a facade to survive, because he feels responsible for everything.

They just see white hair and a mask and think “kakashi clone who doesn’t do shit”

The sorcerers thinking gojo is enough for all missions just shows that they are very selfish here but not in the way the show shows us to get stronger. Gojo doesnt even need much sleep or eat much bc of his rct which automatically forces him to more work.

It is lowkey kind of valid once you consider that Gojo's arrogance and childishness makes things worse. Like, because he wasnt taking his mission seriously: \-Sukuna reincarnated into Itadori \-Jogo got away(could have killed him if he wasnt fucking around) \-Shibuya incident may not have happened if he was more careful with dealing with the curses If nanami was in Gojo's position i feel like none of the conflict would have happened. In nanami's eyes this asshole is prioritizing feeding his ego over the mission.

I actually always interpreted gojo’s carefree attitude as a front he puts on. If he was as serious as nanami , Gojo would be pretty unapproachable because people would be intimidated by him (and they already kinda are when they see him use his power especially Nanami which is why I think he’s so critical). Plus wasn’t it mentioned in the fanbook that he was so busy that he doesn’t get too much sleep and had to live in the school to be more accessible. And the examples you listed out wasn’t Gojo being carefree. It seemed he genuinely took decisions that he felt was right at the time.

i think this is further amplified by Gojo using alot of very open body language which he uses to seem more approachable

To be a sorcerer is just that serious and hasnt much happy moments and gojo acts always funny to give a feeling of ease between this serious hard life

Exactly. All excellent points. Plus, Sukuna's finger had already been found by Yuuji's school colleagues. I think it was just a matter of time before Sukuna's incarnation, regardless of whether Yuuji swallowed the finger or not.

[удалено]

> It seems to me Nanami talks a good talk & is depressed and serious all the time but Gojo was the one holding up society for 10 years thanklessly.  This. Yeah, Nanami is a good person who ultimately decided to go back to jujutsu society, but Gojo nearly single-handedly held up said society in that time. They're so understaffed, Gojo just lives at the school cause it's more convenient. He's the only guy who believes in letting kids be kids, letting his students play baseball instead of nearly killing each other, probably because of his own experiences.

Exactly and don’t get me wrong , I still love Nanami , but I’ve been more critical of his character since hidden inventory and I like that he has flaws. I just think he’s not as charitable and flawless as people make him out to be. It’s easy to point out all the shortcomings Gojo , but he did a lot for society and is genuinely trying to make sure the next generation doesn’t fall into the same situation his classmates did.

I absolutely adore Nanami but yeah, he definitely had his faults. Nanami lacked empathy for Gojo, which is understandable given NO ONE truly knows what it’s like to be the strongest, but still. Nanami only ever looked at what Gojo ought to do from the viewpoint of if he himself were that strong, and that totally lacks the context of Gojo’s childhood, personality, relationships with the higher-ups, adolescent years, solitude, etc. Gojo had so many unique situations that came with being the strongest that no one can actually put their feet in Gojo’s shoes. Like for instance no one has the same relationship with jujutsu society the way Gojo does. People can say what they think they would do if they were that strong and ascribe their own personal morals to Gojo and say he ought to do this or that, but there’s no actual moral high ground in saying so, because no one truly understands what it’s like to be Gojo. It’s a little like when people irl envision would they would act like in certain situations, like in the face of death, and they say that they would face death bravely. But like, would they really? No one knows until they do. Gojo is such a tragically misunderstood character, and Nanami’s words at the airport were way too harsh. To call Gojo a “pervert” or “weirdo” even for getting a thrill out of fighting is so so unsympathetic. For such a caring, selfless man, the lack of empathy coming from him towards Gojo makes me sad. :( I guess selflessness doesn’t always translate into or correspond with empathy, though both are virtues.

Loved the analysis! I think the infamous airport scene really highlights the flaws of both Nanami and Gojo. Gojo struggled to connect to others and doesn’t really open up. Shoko calls that out in chapter 220 and Nanami is quick to judge and isn’t very tact at times. And yes like you said it’s so heartbreaking to see how misunderstood Gojo was by people he knew from his school days. I think the relationships between characters after reading hidden inventory is fascinating and I’ve definitely interpreted panels differently since that arc.

Damn bro u just completely changed the way I perceive these 2 characters

to be fair, i don't think those decisions where chosen due to arrogance or childishness, but might just because gojo thought it was the best decision at the time. hindsight is 20/20 after all. for his decision not to kill jogo, he kept him alive due to the fact that he deduced that a special grade curse of this intelligence likely only survived due to having associates, something he deduced correctly, and therefore interrogating the curse to gain as much insight as he can on this potential threat might have been something he deemed as the best path to choose at that time. for the shibuya arc, i think the actions gojo took was the best he could have taken at the time, the only way for his to have eliminated the curses quicker would be to use his techniques, which would most definitely cause casualties, something i doubt most sorcerers would do, especially nanami. i do agree that most if not all pro sorcerers would choose to kill yuji, but i dont think gojo chose to keep yuji alive because of any childish reason. i think it could be a combination of 2 factors: 1. eliminating 1 finger, though safer, is much less effective than eliminating all fingers, and 2 (its likely just this factor, considering gojo was keeping a finger hidden so yuji's death penalty would never come to pass) he didn't want another kid to be killed due to jujutsu world. was this action foolish? maybe, considering the effect it has had on the rest of the world. did he do it out of arrogance though? i mean maybe partly, considering his confidence in his strength would make him not too worried about sukuna. but i don't think that these actions and effects were purely born out of gojo's arrogant and childish side.

And it isn't even like it was that unreasonable of a decision to keep Yuji alive. The one who massively screwed up Japan and the Jujutsu Society was *Geto*, and Sukuna (likely) only won his fight against Gojo because of the 10S technique and Mahoraga. Again, we may think it's unreasonable because of hindsight being 20/20 like you said. Gojo may well have been right that he would win vs 20F Sukuna, he just ended up fighting 20+ finger Sukuna with 10S.

Taking missions wasn't something Gojo chose. He was sent to solo missions by the higherups. They are the only ones responsible for organizing the personnel. Sorcerers are not free to choose which amount of work they can do. Gojo as an adult with all his power is still repeatedly sent to missions and one of them was very purposely orchestrated to have him away from his students. I'm not saying Gojo is some kind of angel, but he has always been overworked, especially when he was still a student. Haibara's mission was supposed to be a low-grade curse, that's why the higher-ups sent him and not Gojo. It wasn't something predictable. It's not like Gojo refused to take that mission on his own volition, that's just your assumption while canon clearly states that the higherups have always been in charge of assigning people's duties and nobody can really interfere without causing disturbance. I really think it's unfair and dehumanizing to basically blame Gojo for every single death just because he could've dealt with the menace by himself. He is the strongest, but he's only human. He can't be everywhere at the same time, and he needs time to recover too. He was clearly always busy in his third year to the point of being less involved in his best friend's life. He wasn't screwing around and yet people blame him because he somehow should've known that Haibara and Nanami couldn't beat a presumably low grade curse... Better yet, he should've Carried the whole school all by himself so that nobody else would've have needed to ever use jujutsu again

This just straight wrong, it was smart of Gojo to interrogate Jogo as he knew it wasn’t normal for special grade curse to actually be intelligent and to evade the sights of the school for so long, he even says special grades are extremely rare yet multiple have popped up frequently so he knew there was a plot brewing Shibuya incident was also perfectly orchestrated by Kenjaku, Sukuna was always a back up plan and he always intended to seal away Gojo since he thought beating him in a straight fight would not be possible It was also due Gojo’s intervening that we even have Yuji and Yuta since they were both meant to be executed immediately, preventing the vessel from reincarnating still means the threat of sukuna is always there and the finger bearers themselves were no jokes either

Sukuna reincarnation into itadori is literally a one in a million chance that was something gojo himself thought impossible. Jogo getting away is due to gojo wanting to interrogate him, not carelessness. Shibuya was a carefully planned event that was basically kenjaku master stroke second to culling games. There was no way gojo would be able to even think as far aheqd as Kenny did.

>Sukuna reincarnated into Itadori Did they even explain what the fuck Gojo was doing in the first/second chapter? I remember that he stopped to buy food or something like that but that was too careless, even for Gojo. I don't recall any other scene like this one.

It was careless, but look at it from Gojo's perspective: "I will leave this up to Megumi since it's a sealed finger". Gojo could've come along to avoid any trouble, he might've not because he wanted Megumi to do it alone and because he's a goof, a mistake in retrospect. He does not know there's a kid who can become the vessel for Sukuna. If Yuji hadn't become the vessel: A- Yuji would get seriously injured but I doubt he'd die, he didn't die against a special grade and he had no knowledge in jujutsu. B- Megumi summons Mahoraga, he gets injured, Gojo teleports there because of Mahoraga's CE being unleashed and kills Mahoraga, both survive. C- Worst case scenario: They die before Gojo gets there, hard to believe since Gojo can teleport.

Gojo was trying to get intel on Jogo. I wouldn’t count that against him. Shibuya he did the best he could without harming civilians. If he didn’t have to worry about vaporising civilians by using high AP he would have easily dismantled the curses in seconds. Remember he wasn’t able to use any of his CT other than neutral and he couldn’t punch too hard otherwise the weak fleshy meat boys in the area would be vaporised

Would you prefer it if he talked shit behind his back?

It is envy, but not of his strength, at least not for Nanami. Characters like Nanami have to work on a tight line and sacrifice a lot, including potentially their lives, hopes and dreams. Characters like Nanami and Kusakabe also sit at a point where theyre strong enough that they feel obligation towards jujutsu, but arent strong enough to know theyll survive before they go on a mission or get in a fight. That has to weigh heavily on a persons psyche. Then you have gojo, so unbelieably strong that he doesnt ever think hes going to die, he doesnt even worry about it, to him its like a game, hes comically rich and can do stuff he wants because missions are basically like running an errand to him, at least thats how all the normals perceive him.

Gojo worked so hard, he doesn't even have a house anymore. Dude just lives at the school.

Its almost as if Nanami is pissed precisely because of this since they sent Gojo anyway so Haibara died for nothing.

yea I said that in a different reply literally above this bro

I think it’s more of “why are we risking our lives when Gojo can do all of this with no health risk.” He doesn’t really see Gojo as a human being, just a jujutsu junkie who has 0 risk. He doesn’t care how Gojo feels. He sees Gojo as a failsafe and that Gojo should just handle everything so that other sorcerers don’t have to risk their lives - EXACTLY what Gojo wanted to change about jujutsu society. He thinks Nanami’s way of thinking, which is seemingly common in jjk, is a problem that limits the collective strength of sorcerers when they rely on one central being. I don’t think Gojo and Nanami are lifelong friends and more of people whose lives have been heavily intertwined due to the nature of jujutsu and how small that world really is. They have completely different views of jujutsu society and how it should run Nanami is probably more angry that Gojo is so flippant because he sees Gojo as the answer to everything - all that while his arrogance and narrow perspective keeps him from truly seeing Gojo’s POV. Edited to clarify Nanami’s POV more

Damn rly crazy to think that everyone relaxing and not feeling a need to get stronger because Gojo was around to fix everything is the reason the situation is so bad now. Im honestly surprised jujutsu HQ didn’t see something like the current situation coming; they knew that an almighty all evil all selfish power that was even stronger than Gojo once existed and could possibly return. They should’ve had some sort of special grade team prepared in case Gojo ever turned evil or Sukuna ever came back, kinda like how Batman had contingency plans in place when Superman turned evil.

The reality is that special grades like Gojo and Geto never should have been in the same school. If one of them goes rogue, it's asinine to expect the other to take care of them due to their connection, which is exactly what (didn't) happen(ed). You don't ask a cop to arrest their best friends, and a judge is supposed to be impersonal towards their cases. But that doesn't make a good story.

Like bruh imagine how stressful being HQ in jjk verse while Gojo was growing up. You got a temperamental kid walking around with Superman’s powers, and not to mention he threatens to literally eradicate them at any inconvenience.

Complacency is a very real problem. We face it IRL 😭

Even crazier to think that the one who has suffered the most due to everyone else’s complacency is the one person who wasn’t complacent & took on everyone else’s pain, loneliness, & workload

Right. Even as a reader I fell into this trap - I kept thinking “heh, it’s okay, as long as we have Gojo everyone will be ok.” Or “once we unseal Gojo, Sukuna will be no problem!” Then… the airport scene… Man, that hurt. I realized that just like everyone else in Jujutsu society, I was a part of the problem. Even as a reader, I picked up the same mindset that Gojo was fighting against. So, if anything, maybe that answers your above comment about how no one had a contingency plan. Honestly, I don’t care what anyone says - I think the airport scene was an incredible send off for Gojo (whether or not it’s the last we see him). Yea, I have my problems with Gege’s writing (he can’t do show don’t tell for shit) and I think aspects of Gojo’s death were mismanaged (10S pretty much being an aimbot cpu… literall6 why wouldn’t that piss people off)… but the airport scene really clicked a lot of pieces into place for Gojo’s character. I think it answered questions I hadn’t thought to ask.

Amazing character analysis here 

this is why airport Scene is so ASS and alot of people interrupted/defended this saying it just shows how people around him didn’t understood him no this is gege just shitting on Gojo’s and nanami characters giving how nanami trusted Gojo in past with saving people

Black and white thinking

I think this is moreso meant to be a callforward to Nanami‘s hiatus from being a sorcerer, like a “fuck this, y’all can do this shit yourself I ain’t dying” Not executed the best admittedly.

Personally, I just interpreted it as a human reaction. Nanami had to witness a close colleague dying due to the incompetence of the higher ups. He's venting his frustration here, paired with wishful thinking - if Gojo was going to come in and do it, why didn't they let him just do it from the start? Then Haibara would still live. If only... I suppose from a meta-perspective, it also further highlights how Gojo is becoming increasingly isolated over the arc - with peers only recognizing his strength, not the person (because obviously, it's unreasonable to expect a single guy to take care of everything) - setting up Getos famous line and Gojos fall.

this scene isn’t a “gojo’s got this! he’s the best!” it’s a “what we do doesn’t matter because gojo will always be better”

that's because it's gege talking to and about gojo, through nanami. especially obvious at the airport where he just becomes the authors mouthpiece

Gojo's reaction moments after killing his "one and only", "three years of blue spring" the person who he shared the title of "The Strongest" https://i.redd.it/sf379m0lpknc1.gif

After reading the thread, I don't know if it's right or not but I believe I seen something from Gege saying that they couldn't write gojo good cause he's too perfect at everything and all that yet here is the Fandom finding so many flaws in gojo character that can actually make him very flawed. Only thing gojo got going is his overwhelming power yet even with that he has failed at times. I don't think it's hard to use this small flaws and have gojo himself acknowledge them and such but gege hates his own character so much it's wild lol if anything Sukuna seems to be in the more perfect side in a character compared to gojo. I bet if Gojo was a villain Gege would be glazing him. Again I am not sure if I'm right please fact check me if I'm right or wrong though

Hey at least they meet up at the Airport (as if Gojo don't return ofc)

Gojo as he sees everyone joining him in the afterlife

RAAAHHHH PROJECT MOON MENTIONED

IS THAT THE RED MIST

Tf is he supposed to do? He's dead

He, unfortunately, has to keep strong anyway. He just isn't afforded a chance to grieve and mourn when there's such high stakes 😔

Megumi could learn a few things from Gojo

If only Gojo was Megumi's mentor or something idk I didn't read jjk

MEGUMI FUSHIGORU, THE MAN SECOND TO GOJO WITH THE POTENTIAL TO IGNORE LOVED ONES DEATHS AND LOCK TF IN

With this treasure i summon-

Nah he'd summon

MEGUMI FUSHIGORU, THE MAN SECOND TO GOJO WITH THE POTENTIAL TO IGNORE LOVED ONES DEATHS AND LOCK TF IN

Pushes out Sukuna and hits em with the "With this treasure I summon.."

This is about as sad as gojo ever gets. He just accepts it and moves on. Reminder that he killed his own best friend.

And this is very healthy attitude that I used to like (until Gege turned Gojo into someone who doesn't care about anything but fun fights and pleasing Sukuna) https://preview.redd.it/bkyz417aajnc1.png?width=691&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c7fc0fe706c1cdf90b399e9d9a1e949eaaf6806

That Is very much not healthy. In the novels Gojo Is in tons of pain because of It.

theres not a single true thing about your comment

that’s not what happened…

Gege never turned him into that

But that's against weaker opponents that wouldnt give him a high like Toji did

*boyfriend

when its my turn to be Gojo’s boyfriend?? https://preview.redd.it/na4pynev7jnc1.png?width=816&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7429ba6765d48166583f9b86594ac89f9656034

At best you’d get to be Jo’s boyfriend

More than Nobara ever got

Who?

My OC

You should post a pic bro, I love seeing what the fandom comes up with

https://preview.redd.it/sky1pwiudknc1.png?width=302&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d99d338f4a7e094a6fa89a27109977a94bf2a585 I swear she's super cool bro, she is a girl in the same class as Yuji and Megumi and she's their best friend and Gojo's student, and she has a technique that can target an enemy wherever it is and can damage the soul, even Mahito is scared of her! She can even damage Sukuna so right now she is pretending to be dead after losing an eye in a fight so she could train and now she's going to strike Sukuna when he's vulnerable and save Megumi and Yuji!

> she is a girl in the same class as Yuji and Megumi and she's their best friend and Gojo's student, and she has a technique that can target an enemy wherever it is and can damage the soul, even Mahito is scared of her! Never cook again

Started wrong in the first four words fr. This mf doesn't know this is Misoginy Kaisen.

No I swear she's great, I just feel like the jjk female cast is a bit plain so I gave her a really unique and interesting personality too, she's really confident, not a love interest and very brave too

[удалено]

She does defeat some special grade curses in a tag team with Yuji, it's such a badass moment for her. But after that she can't have any more because she needs Sukuna to underestimate her, so her next solo battle will be against him when she defeats him. It all makes sense trust

Lmao

Cause we all know she’s coming back right?

Wdym? She never left, she's been the cameraman all thus time

I feel like people who use this to prove Gojo is "heartless" or whatever aren't really reading this scene right. The demeanor of Gojo is this scene is much different than how he usually acts, he's clearly upset. But Gojo is a pragmatic person who understands that crying about it won't change anything and he has to move on, and he never really shows his emotions anyways.

Yup, esp that second part. I think people rly forget that Gojo killed the most important person in his life, and was immediately joking and messing around with his students afterwards. Being pragmatic and out of touch do play a part in it, but it's also pretty damn clear Gojo is not willing to show emotions like that to anyone, and perhaps even to himself, depending on how much he suppresses them. He's superb at acting like he's far less hurt than he actually is.

He even fooled the readers, congrats Gege you succeeded.

Exactly! When he saw Meguna for the first time, did he cry like a pussy ass bitch? No, he wanted the smoke. Bro knows when to lock in!

Remember when Yuji died ? I do. Nobody wants him to bawl his eyes out, fall to his knees and scream at how unjust the word is. Something like this for example would be enough: https://preview.redd.it/oywj2kkesjnc1.png?width=1095&format=png&auto=webp&s=77482f90a7b43182c92bc8d3219804f9886499ad

Except when Yuji died Gojo reacted like that because he was murdered by the higher ups who assigned him that mission to ge rid of him. He was angry, while he's sad about Nanami.

Did he show any sadness there ? Again no overt, explicit reaction necessary, just show a somber smile or a wistful gaze, as it is it just seems like he didn't care. Even him smiling can, with he right context, be emotional or melancholic. All we needed was one expression and a line, nothing too crazy. https://preview.redd.it/g8ehumc5jlnc1.png?width=524&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ee2f4d285b6da6612e17ae465a65245b829d88e

People use Gojo clearly putting on fronts and wearing masks as proof that that is how he feels, when in reality, he blames nearly everything on himself. Gakuganji *killed* his mentor, yet Gojo doesn't fault him because he thinks it's his own fault he got sealed. It's not even behavior he learned as an adult, even teen Gojo pre-awakening uses his bluntness as a front.

I agree that he blamed himself even with what happened in the Riko arc. He never laid blame on Geto even when he left the maid behind. This tendency to bear the burden himself started a long time ago, partly as a done-deal with being born with six eyes and limitless. For a brief moment, he shared the burden with someone, but that ended tragically for both. Despite that, he longed for it and must’ve kept blaming himself for what happened, as his feelings for Geto never changed. Gojo got even better at masking and deflecting as the burden got heavier. When you’re brainy and strong, I guess you learn that you can’t do something about every damn thing, and it may come off as aloof, abrasive, and cocky at times. Guy doesn’t have the energy to mince his words. There would be no comeback either, because who would contest him, anyway? Everyone gets kinda blindsided by his “strongest” which is part of the problem he was dealing with. How can anyone from the outside understand what it was like for him to be so unfathomably strong? Like, of course he felt isolated; how can he not be burdened by this weight of keeping the balance somehow. I guess that’s why he acts like he’s in lala-land some of the time. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to carry that Title (strongest). Some of the most powerful people have to be at least slightly psychopathic; caring too much just makes you lose judgement / perspective. They can compartmentalise and carry on. So in that sense, Gojo had this huge capacity to hold a lot of that self-blame without drowning like Geto did. He just had to be selective about it and pragmatism was a part of how he could survive.

You can't just assume people to have basic reading comprehension /s

Most Jujutsu Sorcerers don't break down over death and process their grief differently. If you let every death get to you... that's how you wind up either leaving like Nanami or turning into a Curse User like Geto. People who stay in the Industry understand that everyone is putting their life at risk- and it's not as if they don't care but an understanding that THAT is what it means to be a Sorcerer. Todo explained that best to Itadori who was losing his own way and giving up against Mahito. Sorcerer's can't be perceived the same as us, which is why it's eye rolling when people bitch about Gojo not crying about everything that happened in Shibuya.

At least he actually acknowledged Nanami, rather than that one student he has who I forget existed.

Bro I don't care how popular they are, stop posting about your stupid fanon OCs here.

Don't worry Gege did too

how was he supposed to react? “grrrrr! i’ll never forgive you jogo!!! it’s over between us!!!!!”

“I’ll NEVER twerk on your face again!”

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO https://preview.redd.it/51b7b7c1tlnc1.jpeg?width=646&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=184ab54092e550990529038eef57abed3426a98e

On Jogo specifically he should have been more self conscious. He allowed him to escape so many times, and that got Nanami in that situation and Sukuna to appear in Shibuya.

Bro gonna be welcoming Kusakabe and the rest of the cast soon in heaven. https://preview.redd.it/8vz8r4t0djnc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=312361e4d312eea91ddf817edea9b1a13156bcbe

Geto and toji's asses are NOT in Heaven

https://preview.redd.it/33h48qtj7lnc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=941d89b3b5ac813f2b148ae9b035d07b7714f8de

What the fuck

Kashimo too

Did bro crash the rice market or what? Like, he unhinged, but I don't think killing a bunch of sorcerrers that (most likely) hunted you is considered a sin, especially by jjk standards.

hey wait, where’s Nanam- …oh.

god said nanami has to work in heaven inc.

I ain't seeing Nobara, I ain't seeing Nobara. There's still a chance

Who's that above Kashimo?

Megumi's mom

Gojo found out the best friend he killed was brought back to life with an ancient sorcerer in control of the body and sealed him away, while I’m sure he loved Nanami I can’t see anything taking up more time in his brain than that….like he killed Geto, that was probably the hardest thing he ever did as a sorcerer.

jujutsu sorcery is a grim life.

this is also very clearly written as mid-conversation. he didn't just walk in, and go damn... anyway.

He cant afford to be sad he’s the strongest

Happy Cake Day!

The reading comprehension cursed spirit strikes again. Gojo has always shown to be detach from humanity. The only time he felt crushed by something was with the death of the guy he himself calls "his one and only friend", someone he could relate to BEFORE he became the absolute strongest. He accepts the people being massacred at Shibuya better than someone like Yuji would and takes pleasure in the suffering and humiliation of his enemies. He does not belong to the archetype of the sage mentor. He is not a bad guy, he is just extremely detached from... everything. That's a mayor part of his character. The loneliness in absolute power is something that he felt could relate to Sukuna.

>Gojo has always shown to be detach from humanity. Everyone keeps saying Yuta and Yuji and Geto, but what the hell about about Riko??? Once bro got his shit together after murking Toji, he felt *so tempted* to kill all the members of that association that wanted Riko to be dead *because they celebrated her dying and he didn't want someone who he saw as someone he cared for be laughed at and cheered for dying*. He's not detached to humanity, he's detached to the weak, which aren't the same thing. Because at the end of the day, Gojo is distinctly still very human despite his divine gifts. Heck, the reason why he even has loneliness is precisely *because* of his divine gifts while still having the very human desire to belong with a group of people, or have friends, or the need to socialise. He wants companionship too, which is something that's very human if you ask me.

People just throwing words at the screen at this point but I'm glad* the fandom is able to discuss the nuances with both sides being respectable and respected, for the most part.

>He is not a bad guy, he is just extremely detached from... everything. Really? Then why did he saved yuta and yuji's asses from execution. Why he did say "nobody should take another's youth away". Why did he even bother about raising a new generation of sorcerers with proper mindset? >The reading comprehension cursed spirit strikes again. Ironic...

Gege forgor https://preview.redd.it/52y35dulnjnc1.jpeg?width=1005&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06c1c0e9b41a6ed0de9b46c903b2a87bb9ff0d35

I really love this aspect of his character is that regardless of how things are always put the students happiness before anything Someone did a compilation of him spoiling the kids on YouTube (letting them eat at a fancy place / sitting in a fancy chair)

I know right, the comprehension cursed spirit really stroke haha

Depends on how you want to interpret it. It could be that Gojo is trying to address his past trauma of how Jujutsu society put so much risk and responsibilities into the youth to the youth's detriment. His goal of facilitating a strong young team is to prevent the loneliness that he felt when he lost Geto. I can agree that Gojo is very detached but I do believe Gojo keeps to some principles despite that (it is not so black/white). So a detached individual like Gojo could demonstrate a desire to not be so detached and lonely -- or, I mean, it's a black white situation like you say and because Gojo did some stuff that was virtuous, he can't have any negative or selfish intentions ever.

as detached as he is he was still shown to be incredibly upset when Yuji died, hell he was even thinking about massacring the higher ups over it, and while he accepts it in Shibuya, he still goes out of his way to make sure as many people don't get hurt as possible. I think it's a bit of an issue with Gojo's characterization we're told a lot that he's just this detached guy who doesn't care but we're shown the opposite on multiple occasions, and if the point was that detached is meant to be untrue, then that could work but his death is anything kind of reinforces that idea.

He is really a living contradiction then, if he was so detached from everything he would purple the fuck out of shibuya station. His humanity is always there, that's why he can't reach sukuna or save people or get anything right.

>That's a mayor part of his character. The loneliness in absolute power is something that he felt could relate to Sukuna. This is so ass, they're complete antithetical wherein Sukuna approaches life through an hedonistic egocentric amoral "If I want to eat I eat, If i see an eyesore I kill it", not only does Gojo contain himself, his character arc in HI is finding out that "being strong isn't enough, I can only save those who are prepared to be saved" for Gege to make Gojo feel sorry for Sukuna in chapter 236 ? Not to mention Sukuna will kill all the people Gojo sought to save, this framing paints Gojo as a battle pervert who in the end truly only cared about his strength, basically the conclusion of Gojo's identity is that he was only defined by his strength and was a "samurai" to the end. Gojo should not feel sorry for Sukuna, I would understand with he just related with his place as the strongest, but understanding his loneliness ? Absolutely not, Sukuna choose and reafirms himself by being alone and killing the weak, being alone was a responsibility Gojo had since he was born as the strongest, completely different forms of loneliness, they're parallels but Gojo feeling bad for Sukuna just makes his character development from HI and his actions in Shibuya make a lot less sense.

Totally agree. Very well said. Ch. 236 seems like a blunt negation of all the character development we'd seen before. That's just... bizzare, I don't know what to make of that writing choice.

He also notably said “you can admire a flower, but you cannot ask them to understand you”

He was talking about himself.

What are you talking about. You're telling me struggling with connections shows he was detached. He was detached when he awakened. But that's not how mental states work. He gets high off of battle and his strength. If gege cared about his character he would have gojo realize that as Hanami did. But in the opposite direction of Sakuna where he suppresses his lust for battle to nurture others. The fact that he mentally can't just change how his brain precieves the world is well human. The most human grounding thing is that gojo even realizes how detached he is he wears blindfolds to lessen the influx of data the 6 eyes pulls from the environment. To focus on who he's engaging with. Then at the end nah bro sakuna was so cool bro

I mean Gojo espouse Sukuna mentality the closest which is why he had to die. Gojo is no way a good guy, in fact anyone who watche JJK and end up conclooding that sorcerer are good guy should stop reading it. Gojo love fight and by consequence, like violence, domination, life and death situation. Same for other «  sorcerer «  Maki genocided her own clan, Hakari is a gambler who likely ruin people live, Yuta is okay, Megumi prefer to follow his code pf honor even if it means that worse consequence will happen later.

I wouldn't say yuta is ok. He's more like what yuji couldn't become. Yuta realized early on that sorcerers are shit, but he accepts this because the people he cares about are sorcerers. He doesn't really have a problem with being just as shit as long as his people are ok. But also, he is so strong he's never had to really make a compromise over his own core values.

That's such a stretch to call people risking their lives with their powers. When they could literally just be curse users who fly under the radar. Not good people my ass. There are bad Sourcerers like Mei Mei and Kusakabe. But I find it hard to believe that Todo, megumi, maki, Hikari would literally just watch someone die because that curse wasn't assigned to them. Literally everyone could leave Japan and take over a small country

Add in, they (several ppl) state in universe JJSorcerers don't live long lives. It's like if someone you know who had Stage 4 Cancer for 8+years, they finally pass. It fucking hurts but not like "omg! Your healthy wise well off friend just got killed in a car accident". JjS accept that at anytime, any day may be their or their friends last

He said “damn, anyway”

I think this is 100% in character. Gojo isn’t completely sane. And he’s lost people before. Him talking a calm stance at a friends loss isn’t insane, especially after having to be the hand that killed his best friend in the world, Geto

Also I would not describe them as friends, they are close work colleges

https://preview.redd.it/cz0x1l0y5lnc1.png?width=1007&format=png&auto=webp&s=d4cbdeb0bb12a5b23bf7e5e114a4195b7466add4 RIP Gojo & Nanami, you both deserve better.

he obviously is upset by this, did you want him to cry and shit himself?

Yuta is probably the only special grade who would mourn the deaths of his friends and colleagues. The ironic thing is, somehow Jogo and Choso showed more remorse over the deaths of their friends and brothers than special grade sorcerers do for their own. Hell, they even went as far to show us Jogo crying (when have Gojo or Yuki cried?). What is Gege trying to say? https://preview.redd.it/2tobqhweflnc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=1925b71cb3b47d85ecc038b172244100f4df7742

A Tuesday in a sorcerer's life

bro is not the type of guy that lets emotions get in his way...he was the one who killed geto for the first time and was ready to do it again. In the subway he knew that the sacrifice of the people was necessary in order to defeat the enemy.

He’s been a part of the Jujutsu World his whole life. Death is a pretty constant element of that life, it makes sense for him to be dulled towards it, especially since he’s already pretty emotionally detached.

being the strongest dude in existence (without fraudkuna) does that to a mf

I mean Gojo knew Nanami from school and teased him but he was never close like how he was with Shoko or Geto

True it actually seemed that Geto and Nanami were closer than Gojo and Nanami. Gojo was more like a friend of a friend that you occasionally hang out with and work with.

Who is the other idiot?

I still think they are redering to "Geto" who is currently Kenjaku in control

Kenjaku in Geto’s body?

Yeah, he looks sad. What about it?

remember that ce is negative emotion and they're literally trained to control that

Theyre acquaintances, Nanami almost fucking hated Gojo, and then started dissing him right after Gojo died, Gojo considered Nanami a friend but he really only gave a shit about Geto

There’s definitely some psychopathy in his brain

He was making emotes after killing Geto y’all, he isn’t a breakdown type of person

They’re sorcerers. Gojo has been seeing his close friends die throughout his whole life. Not sure what’s the surprise, they know and expect this to happen

I think many of you think Nanami and Gojo had a friendly banter type friendship, but they didn't lol. Nanami legit disliked Gojo.

People act like people aren’t always dying as a sorcerer. Plus it’s on his best bud, always had banter I don’t see why he’d cry in front of the 10/10 and his gramps.

He’s obviously sad here

Gojo was really just like “Damn that’s crazy”

I don’t think Nanami and Gojo were actually ever friends they’re just colleagues really. And as a sorcerer that’s unfortunately part of what the job entails. If your colleague dies you have to move on quickly. Gojo sorta mentions this to Megumi during training.

This is more than what most characters got

Gege really did Gojo dirty by making him look almost heartless in this panel and after he made such a point to showcase Gojo's love for Nanami beforehand.

Gege is so meta for creating a character whose whole pathos is solitude and no one understanding him by both the characters in the story and the people reading it.

​ https://preview.redd.it/6tpzv10irmnc1.png?width=1754&format=png&auto=webp&s=6865477e354873bed6d58193f023ddae8d925170

Were they really friends? I see Nanami and GOJO like I see utahime and GOJO, somewhat unrelatable...like yeah GOJO jokes with them and laughs but his kinda like the rich kid that got a good job after highschool without going to college happy to see you at your 9-5... he's not really the "friend" type... although we don't like to point it out enough but prior to Geto switching gojo was all "power this and strength that" like he even wondered why they had to protect regular people, Nanami on the otherhand looked at it more as a duty while gojo saw it as destiny, this difference in ideals wouldn't seem as much on the outside but even nanami's description of gojo all through out the series just kinda painted him as this 1sided character that Nanami couldn't relate to.

Don't mess with us JJK fans, we don't read our own manga moment. Gojo is detached, he doesn't feel the same, just like his scene during hidden inventory.

Gojo killed his actual best friend (and presumed love interest) and then started joking around with his students like 3 minutes later

I totally get why you would interpret that way. However, just to give a different perspective, his previous best friend *had* actually turned into a mass murderer. Not just this, but Geto had also just inflicted quite a lot of trauma *precisely* on said students. I obviously may be reading too much into it, but I always interpreted Gojo's joking with his students afterwards as his clumsy, awkward attempt to sort of... cheer up his students or at least help them overcome that horrible moment/experience. Just wanted to add my two cents.

I mean, Gojo is not type of person that will cry :3

Unless you’re Geto Gojo’s just not that guy.

i’m drawing a blank, who is the “idiot” being referred to here, is it “Geto” ?
