MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN SPOILERS

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN SPOILERS

jean kristein:

jean is probably the most relatable to the common man within the story of shingeki no kyojin (aot). prior to the beginning of the story, all of the characters have their separate lives: eren with mikasa and armin, reiner with bertholdt and annie, and etc. out of all the background stories, jean’s is normal, or what normal can be on the island.

he grew up with a loving mom, and although he finds her embarrassing, he was still able to grow up with a rather peaceful life. thus, leading him to join the 104th scout regiment to live a lavish life in the wall of sina. when i first began attack on titan somewhere in late 2015 early 2016, i agreed with jean’s thought process. yes people are dying, yes people are living in a cage, yes people don’t have “freedom”, but that is not my life (or yk if i was living in jean’s position and in the universe). death, massacre, genocide even, is inevitable. HA ! that's someone who has been living in a comfortable bubble would say.

i, like jean, have never gone through the horrors of life compared to characters like levi or reiner. who cares about other people when you can live a comfortable life. oh, the privilege dripping out of my mouth when i say that. nevertheless, jean’s rose-tinted glasses are broken once he sees half of marco’s body.

why was this so traumatic? some people said they didn’t even rememberer marco or didn’t pay attention to him, but why? i did. the effects of marco’s kindness, observations, and mere presence were comforting. it almost makes you forget the reality of the situation until those moments become mere memories.

through this, he develops drive and motivation. after seeing reality, tell me, how can one standstill?

maybe this should’ve been a post about marco, but this about how he had a big impact on jean’s awakening.

jean kristein is a common man, then became a character whose maturity is clearly shown throughout the series. ignorant to a man who sees it as it is, not what he wants it to be. no longer a “common man”. that is why he is admirable to me. (that's also why i'm in love with him)

eren yeager, ymir fritz, zeke yeager, floch forster, etc may be well developed characters, but, jean clearly demonstrates growth in people. a change in perspective. a change in heart.

i have a lot of character analysis stuff about a bajillion characters and all of a sudden i got an urge to write about certain aspects of them. hehe

"you should at least curse me at the end"

MAJOR JUJUTSU KAISEN MANGA SPOILERS

i've always wondered what that meant. getou was dying and told gojou that in volume 0. i understood the idea of cursing people, but why curse them during death?

but yesterday night i saw this tweet

and i realized that maybe people curse others with their last words. jujutsu sorcerer or not, curses are placed when the last words of a person are spoken.

in chapter 147, principal masamichi's last words are "it's a curse.. principal gakuganji. a curse from me.. to you." my first reaction to the chapter was confusion because didn't understand the purpose of it, how this chapter contributes to the story. but knowing that final words become a curse, maybe principal gakuganji's life from here on out will contribute to furthering the story.

at the start of jujutsu kaisen, we see yuji's grandfather dying. last words are "when it's your time to go, make sure you're surrounded by others. don't end up like me" in chapter 1. prior to saying that, his grandfather said, "you're a strong kid, so.. help people... just help them".

i'm not sure of the extend of a curse generated from last words, but i do think that concept is plausible in the story.

in real life, people's last words are constantly held in high account if that person is of any importance. taking that concept and putting it into the world of jujutsu kaisen is understandable.

also, yuta cursing rika after her death is another contribution to this claim.

in the end, people's last words during death or last words to someone dying generates a curse.

this realization just makes me like jujutsu kaisen even more. i started reading jujutsu kaisen when gojou's past arc was coming out weekly and was surprised of the thought put into the curse techniques. learning this makes me enjoy the underlying thought put into jjk more.

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN MANGA SPOILERS

levi:

humanity’s strongest soldier not just by blatant strength but mentally as well.

when levi ackerman was first introduced, i thought he was just another strong character to be revealed simply because of their skill, but after season 1 and the ova, “no regrets”, i began to understand the true strength of this character.

trials and tribulation are not enough to describe the atrocities that levi had experienced throughout his life. being on the brink of death in a room with a dead body for who knows how long, abandoned by his uncle, the death of friends he considered family, and i can go on.

through it all, most of his relationships ended with death. it seems as though he is cursed to lose those with who he develops relationships.

when the last chapters were releasing, i thought levi was going to die, multiple times i might add. but now that attack on titan has ended, i understand why levi didn’t die.

levi ackerman is humanity’s strongest soldier, someone who no matter what happens will always fight until the end.

i can ramble for hours on the adversities levi had gone through, but understanding his genuine strength, from his odm skills to him always caring for his family, is what made me love levi more.

i understand that i wouldn’t be able to take the pain, the genuine pain that levi went through.

through it all, he lived.

i’ve been super busy with school work. it's been stressing me out so much, but today i got a surge of productivity that i wrote this ! hehehe
