The Way The Relationship Between Gojo And Geto Has Developed And Ultimately Fallen Apart Has Been Living

The way the relationship between Gojo and Geto has developed and ultimately fallen apart has been living my head a lot longer than it should.

Two ridiculously powerful for their age sorcerers brought up together. Both fully aware of their power since adults had made them shoulder the weight of their world from a young age. The key, though, was them being together.

We are the strongest.

But Suguru had his world view shattered. The fall out began when Satoru was "awakened" , that's obvious. But the realization that they were no longer the strongest together was one he could not bear. He was basically left behind and now the power he had taken for granted for so long was no longer enough. So he begun contemplating the very concept of "power".

Through his looking inward, he concluded that the issue with the power system is the weak at the very bottom of the food chain. Because they were the ones needing protection from the stronger by the strongest. They were the ones putting all of the pressure on them both. So he wanted to rid the world, his world, of what in his eyes was destroying it. And even though he still was powerful, he knew the only one powerful enough to wipe out all the people he deemed worth dying was Gojo.

He was also painfully aware that he ,unfortunately, would never possess such power. The "we" in "We are the strongest" had become "he". So, having made peace with him self, he questioned Satoru about his respective person.

Are you Gojo Satoru because you are the strongest, or are you the strongest because you're Gojo Satoru?

In other words, he asked the man who he had deemed his best friend for years, if the immense power that he possessed now defined him. Or if it was himself that had managed to harness the power passed down to him and make it his own, but really his own.

That was the last stroke for Gojo. He could not handle the fact that he and his best friend had grown so far apart due the power imbalance that he was unable to answer that on his own, and that he just turned his back and walk away right after such a question regarding his character.

His initial reaction was to strike him with his newfound power , purple, which is ironic considering that Suguru's physical death would have been caused by the same thing as his emotional one. But thankfully, he did not.

When Satoru returned to Jujutsu high after coming face to face with Suguru he was introduced to his future. Instead of being treated like a sixteen year old who just lost his best friend, he was seen as a man who just let a criminal roam free.

From then on, he would shoulder the expectations of the world on his own. Forever. And the first thought he had was whether he was strong enough to manage that.

The first person he looked for to reassure him was his teacher, who did. But no reassurance would be enough now, since he was the strongest. That's when he was met with the loneliness that comes with power like his.

But all that was the endstage of Gojos breakdown. It begun way earlier, the first ever time he was defeated. He was a cocky sixteen year old who did know what losing was. He, after all, was a special grade sorcerer. But in one of the many missions assigned to him and Suguru, things went south.

He faced a terrorist group and a huge religious organization with no issue. And the he came face to face with a non sorcerer, who beat him to the verge of death. Even though that was his path to unlock his full potential, it was not an ideal situation, because it led to Suguru also getting siriusly injured but also them failing the mission.

When he went to retrieve the body of the person he was supposed to have protected, he was met with a room of people clapping at his failure. Him not being enough was something worth clapping for for some. That's the moment he realized firsthand that the world would be against him for the rest of his life. But what he didn't know was that everything would get even worst.

Years passed after their separation before they came face to face again. Both now mature adults with virtually children of their own. But sadly, Gojo was forced to put an end to his ex best friend's life on December 24th, 2018.

His physical body, though, was taken over by Kenjaku. Who having teamed up with Sukuna manged to end Gojos life on a day he picked himself.

Can we talk about Shoko please?

She went to school alongside not one but two special grade sorcerers, so it is almost expected that she will be overlooked, at least academically.

And she is. They are all sent on missions together, and she is their last line of defense, but against death. So she is basically a doctor, not a fighter like the others. That is backed up by her ability to use reversed cursed technique on others, which neither Satoru nor Suguru could do, even on themselves. Yet, she is not even close to being appreciated enough by her team or her teachers.

Gojo and Geto were also way closer to each other due to the baggage that comes with their power than with Shoko. So she is overlooked friendship wise as well.

She is not excluded by any means, but she does not have access to the emotional support Satosugu provide to each other. Which one could argue is a good thing for her.

And then Gojo unlocks his potential. So, the entire power dynamic shifts. Him and Geto aren't on the same level anymore, which leads to Shoko being ranked even lower. And then Suguru deconstructs the concept of power. So he needs to be stopped, and Gojo loses his closest friend. But Shoko is also there, losing her friend. And then Suguru is killed. Even though Satoru was the one who did it, Shoko was the one furthest away from both her friends at that moment.

And since Gojo deals with it all on his own, enemy's manage to get him sealed. But the thing is, he doesn't have to. Shoko is still there. She can,inadequately, fill Suguru's place to avoid further distraction. But Gojo does not let her.

And then Gojo dies. So, she is now physically alone the same way she has been emotional forever now. But she is actually alone.

Just finished watching Yuri on ice, and I am sure someone has already addressed this, but I wanna talk about it.

So, the music that Victor chooses to choreograph for Yurio and Yuri is "On love:Agape" and "On love:Eros" respectively.

Both Agape and Eros are greek words, and as a Greek, I feel as though the definition we are given does not do them justice.

AGAPE

We are told that agape is "unconditional love", but in Greek, agape literally means love.

The meaning the greeks give to agape is "A feeling of liking affection or friendship as well as its expression in words or actions"

Its etymology is even more interesting. The majority of researchers agree that it has two parts: 1st, the adverb "ἄγαν" which means "a lot of" 2nd, the theme "-πω" which means "protect/conserve" So etymologically agape is the overwhelming need to protect something that one sincerely cares about.

Combining the two can put the entire meaning of agape into words, but I think that authentic agape can not be verbalized.

EROS

When Victor explains the musical choices he made, he says that eros is "sexual attraction". But I find it a little bit shallow.

The greeks say that eros is "A carnal attraction of one person to another along with intense desire or love and excessive devotion"

Etymology-wise, eros is derived from the ancient Greek verb "ἔραμαι/ἐράω-ἐρῶ" which in modern Greek means "λαχταρώ/ποθώ". Both the verbs translate to "crave" the latter being more intense.

Eros was also the name of the God of love and sex, son of Aphrodite , godess of beauty. Consequently, making Eros something devine and flawlessly beautiful.

Putting all this information together, eros goes far deeper than just sexual attraction and is a gift from the Gods of Olympus.

Sincerely, a Greek who felt a tad bit underrepresented

There is media that you consume.

And then there is media that consumes you.

Did Gege fumble the end of the fight? Maybe a little bit.

But can we just let this be Disney kaisen? We have absolutely suffered enough as a fan base.

Just let Yuji and Yuta make it out alive, and I will be satisfied (not really).

Just finished Full-metal alchemist:Brotherhood and apart from the great writing and character development, I particularly liked the way the homonculus in the bottle died.

I truly enjoy the trope in which the villain is afraid of death more than anything and does anything to prevent it, and ultimate ends up dying a humiliating death.

The first book series I read as a kid was Harry Potter, and it has influenced the way I consume media.

*Ahem fuck J.K.Rowling ahem*

He devoted centuries to artificially creating humans , making a whole new nation, and creating a transmutasion circle that covered the entirety of it. Did not give a fuck about all the innocent lives that would be lost if his plan worked. He knew all the consequences since he did the same thing on a smaller scale in the past (no benefit of the doubt). Not to mention everything he put Hohenheim through since they were made invincible together.

Also, the whole operation relied on people performing a forbidden type of transmutasion that was simply undoable and already involed dead people to begin with.

Let's not forget that the goal of the plan was to absorb the literal God. So much for removing Greed and Envy from himself.

So, the image of him being beaten to death by a literal 15 year old was just perfect.

Imagine your purpose in life just being to live more, disregarding everyone and everything around you, just for Ed, who had been alive for roughly 15 years to beat you to death with his bare hands, while the military, that you are supposed to control, cheers him on.
