Reading The Last Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter, I Came To A Mildly Horrifying Realization.

Reading the last jujutsu kaisen chapter, I came to a mildly horrifying realization.

If Yuta wins in Gojos body, then Gojo is Gojo Satoru because he is the strongest.

But if he loses, then he is the strongest because he's Gojo Satoru.

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

~In the wise words of Geto Suguru~

Truthfully, Yuta winning is the best option here. It will probably prevent more unnecessary deaths that don't do anything to deepen the plot anymore, for one.

But beyond that, this outcome will also make Gojo's characters come full circle. It will furthen the narrative that he is a monster and a weapon carefully carved out by the jujutsu society. It will also solidify the fact that the only one who saw beyond that was Suguru.

Plus, it will make a bomb ass story for Yuta to tell to literally anyone.

Honestly, though, him losing would have to end up in everyone, but Sukuna dying (sorry Yuji*) and the modern dark ages of sorcery beginning.

Truly, there would be no point in ending the manga like that, in my opinion.

*Now about Yuji, that boy has been though he'll and back, and of course, I don't want him to die, and yes, I have seen how much he has developed in the manga. But him beating Sukuna while Yuta, the generation's protégé in the body of the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, loses to me kinda looks like an ass-pull that will be excused because the boy has not had an ounce of plot armor throughout the entire series.

And that holds true only and only if Yuta loses to Sukuna. If literally anything else happens, I will probably not believe this either.

Satosugu's bodies being mutilated in different but equally sad and disgusting ways is an insane parallel.

Suguru died to his best friend's hand while fighting for his ideals, which in my books is a heroic death. Then Kenjaku violated his body to make him fight in a war. Yes, he was a cult leader and a murderer but he wοas still a person. The only one who didn't fail to see him as such was Gojo. In his own eyes, his actions were justified. In the world's eyes, he was just a cold, blooded mass murderer. In Satrous eyes, he was just Suguru. But neither as a good nor a bad person was he allowed a peaceful passing.

Satoru, on the other hand, died to Sukuna fighting to protect everyone. Shoko and Yuta made the decision that he was not to quit fighting yet. He grew up and developed as a weapon. The jujutsu society only viewed him as a weapon, not an actual person. Suguru was the one who recognized that he was an individual with a personality and interests and preferences. So for him, to not die and instead be used as a weapon for the benefit of others was only natural. In spite of all his efforts and contributions, he did not deserve a humane death, apparently.

The strongest are not allowed to rest. Not together. Not in even death.

Someone tried convincing me that Yuji can talk no jutsu Sukuna in his domain for jujutsu kaisen to have a "happy" ending.

I wish bro, I wish.

But then you have this panel...

No hope.

There is no way non-homophobic Nagireo deniers are real.

If you don't think Nagi and Reo are a thing, either you are homophobic and hate to see boys happy together or the reading comprehension devil has gotten to you.

I am going to pull panels directly from the manga (both the Blue lock manga and Episode Nagi manga) and I am going to escalate the gayness as I go.

1. Here, we have Reo realizing his feelings for Nagi and being vocal and completely clear about it.

2. Then, we have Reo calling Nagi his treasure and also being ridiculously possessive for no reason.

And also him openly admiting that he only has eyes for Nagi.

3. Then we have Chigiri and his choice of words when talking about the relationship between Nagi and Reo (and also Reos reaction to them). Mind you, he has seen them together for just 90' and some spare moments here and there in the startum if we are being generous.

4. Just Nagi openly admitting that him and Reo are partners. (Also, this happened twice, but there is a limit on pictures in a single post, so I am not putting it here.)

5. We also have Reo thinking about how football was what got him and Nagi together. And since if it weren't for it, they wouldn't be a thing, he concludes that they should live together ( just the logical next step, you know). And they were roommates

6. Then there is Reo straight up proposing to Nagi. Not even an exaggeration, he fell on one knee and held out his candy apple.

Bonus:

Reo's face when Nagi and he were being separated in the second stage.

And Reo's face when him and Nagi were just together in his room. This boy has nothing but love in his eyes. Find you someone who looks at you the way Reo looks at Nagi.

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
