SOME TELL ME THIS IS FAKE
PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS FAKE PLEASE TELL I GOT LIED TO BEFORE I GO TO SCHOOL CUZ AINT NO WAY😭
Tell me y I look up bocchi and nothing shows up🥲
This is probably a wild thing to get but your “Gojo should stay dead” post has got my unmedicated ass vibrating.
(I’ve only read jjk0, besides that literally all of my exposure has been via 3 video essays and fanfic… I basically got into the series backwards and tbh it’s an interesting experience…)
And tbh I agree with you more than not. Even though the view I have of the character is so fucking warped because jjk fanfic is too the gills filled with smut.
Because what I’ve gathered from the video essays and the few bits of fanfics that actually tried getting into his mind… is that the man is gd tired.
A god complex the size of the sun, that’s only ever been challenged once by one of the few people he ever formed a genuine connection with, and it was challenged as that person was leaving him. That incident may have motivated him to change, but that change was predominantly if not exclusively external, he didn’t really do much self reflection.
After Geto left, Gojo did better (became a teacher, warding Megumi, not letting Yuta be executed) but he didn’t work on being better (god complex, recklessness, belief that his way is the only way with no real consideration for the effects those decisions have on others)
He’s selfish, arrogant, and reckless, he doesn’t seem to take much of anything seriously and that may be a persona (again, I haven’t actually read jjk yet… the ending of mha did the characters, narrative, and audience so gd dirty I need to know how jjk ends so I set my expectations accordingly) but I can very much see this man never really developing his sense of empathy because he never really had any stakes… like he has some understanding, but the god complex and the fact people around him constantly reinforce it… he can’t put himself in other people’s shoes, there’s a detachment from reality that would read as delusional for anybody else, but he has spent his entire life being told he is the strongest with nothing ever being able to prove him wrong.
Than on the flip side of that god complex, honestly for a good while, and still sorta kinda… to me he reads as passively suicidal. (I know “Word of God” can be controversial regarding character analysis because of its absence in the base text) but the fact Gege’s rough rundown of Gojo’s daily schedule was basically “he sleeps for about 3 hours and spends the rest of his time working, his sweet tooth is actually somewhat practical as he uses sugar as a stimulant.” That’s not good for your noggin. Add the isolation caused by his status and his god complex, I see him coming to the conclusion that the only way he should die, is in battle.
And he did! Even if wasn’t in the “final sacrifice that ensures he becomes a legend” sort of way I think he would’ve hoped for.
But that also felt… right? (Certainly not fair, Gege openly admitting he kills off fan favorites for the shock value does dampen the possible emotional impact that could’ve been achieved… but I digress)
Every time Gojo fights, and I mean properly fights, he’s smiling, it’s a game to him, a chance to show off, to assert his dominance and reaffirm his status… so him dying so suddenly that his legs are still standing as his upper half falls to the floor, he’s lying there choking on his own blood as he bleeds out and Sukuna saying it “cleared his skies” (weird phrasing, but I think that’s a cultural/translation thing) it could’ve been a gut punch of a tragedy that amped up the stakes of the final conflict! The protagonists’ trump card is gone in a handful of panels and a flick of the wrist! He’s bleeding out on the ground as the big bad seems to reach a moment of genuine inner peace! But the backtracking and Gege’s history lessened that significantly
tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that Shonen Jump had something to do with it… the motivations for Gege’s writing choices are questionable to me (it feels spiteful and cheap) but they’ve been consistent until now, what changed?
Anyway it is… 5:45 am… I should be asleep, but I’m here vomiting character analysis based on partial information in your inbox… I hope you have a good day/night/whatever is appropriate for when you receive this
I hate that you had me read all that, but I couldn't agree more with most that you said (except maybe where you call him selfish and I lowk think geges killing system is fair and I like it a lot but🤷).
Anyways, I don't know how to really respond to this since you basically did all the talking lol (plus I'm tired from reading all that and just got out of school).
I do have a question tho. how did you start with jjk0??? Like how does something like that happen. Also you haven't watched the anime or anything😭???
Anyways, thanks for dropping this essay on me have a good day/night or life in case we never speak🩵
As someone that doesn't even believe in God all that much...IF U ACT LIKE THIS PLZ START GOING TO CHURCH, SEEK THE WORD OF SOME GOD, TOUCH GRASS, JUST PLZ DO SOMETHING CUZ THIS IS NOT OK‼️‼️
his nose... his nose is making me feel things
Now I'm more fucking confused than ever
I THINK ch. 270 gave us more hints about Momotaro?
Momotaro is mentioned when Gojo speaks to Suguru in the hidden inventory arc. It also appears during Takaba's fight with Kenjaku.
Different translations of the same page - at first, I thought this was saying that Geto is a bit different from Kenjaku - that Takaba used his CT to revive Geto in attempt to have a comedy partner (rip Kenjaku's brain, but it's better to leave him in the afterlife).
In the later translation, it seems they're discussing the difference between jokes. I'm not fluent in Japanese but I wouldn't be surprised if this could be read with multiple meanings.
Why is momotaro only mentioned with Geto - or Kenjaku, in his body? I know that Kenjaku was more interested in playing video games than knowing what CT had occurred in awakened players in the culling games.
There's the satosugu ship, and there's the chemistry between Kenjaku and Takaba.
There's the joke about Momotaro's conception - eating a magic peach and bumping uglies.
Idk the significance yet...
At this point maybe I should watch gameplay of momotaro? Or beg the internet to add anything they know.
I just cannot believe this is a coincidence bc gege wrote this, you know? So what does it meeaannnnnnn.....
NO CUZ YALL CAN'T BE THIS DUMB PLZ TELL ME Y'ALL NOT THIS DUMB😭
jujutsu kaisen ends in exactly one chapter and we still don’t know what was said in the final conversation between gojo and geto. I’m a nosy bitch I need to know
wtf is ch270
Megumi being basically emotionless and like a normal person at tsumiki's grave? Megumi and hana? Also where the hell is Yuji, he was in there for like 3 panels?
also where tf is gojo gege? What did you do to suguru? Is it kenjaku? Suguru? Who is it.
My thoughts on 270 so far (based on early leak translation)
Mostly about Geto / Kenjaku and Takaba aaaaaaaaa
First, the grave is Suguru's and his body hasn't been burned. They're just making his grave look nice. Which means that MAYBE Geto will finally come back and kill Mei Mei, bc he's the only one with the ethics to do it.
what I'm thinking about is Takaba.
That looks like Geto/Kenjaku... Doesn't it?
Kenjaku didn't seem upset about dying. And he still wanted the merger to go through, despite not being around to see it... Which feels like he had a backup plan? I don't know. Maybe he just wanted to watch it from the afterlife.
But God this is so sus. They're even wearing matching outfits. I wonder if Takaba's "death" was like a pact, that he'd live on if Kenjaku did. I don't know.
But what did he mean by "almost the same".... Guys, I think Takaba has stolen Geto's body and resurrected it to have a comedy partner.
Gojo's gonna return next chapter and steal back his man.
To further this...
The chapter ends with this guy whose fiancée sees him with giant eyes. They suspect an awakened curse user (Takaba, who would think that's funny). The residuals are hardly there (Suguru Geto??? He could teach Takaba to hide them probably.)
I am screaming kicking my feet. Gege what are you COOKING I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D ACTUALLY BRING BACK SUGURU THOUGH THERE WERE ALWAYS WAYS I WANTED YOU TO DO IT
Oh, I was disappointed to find that Tengen was among the debris and hadn't clung to Megumi as the most stable host. Bc that would have been interesting but, good for him not being pregnant.
On God it's Takaba thinking he's funny with the fiancée shit, he resurrected Geto to have a comedy partner, and Gojo is going to come steal his man back (but Gojo might also be Sukuna's vessel idk)
LAST CHAPTER IS NEXT WEEK AND THEY JUST ANNOUNCED THE TRIO'S NEXT MISSION??? Y'ALL WE MIGHT FR GET JJK PT.2 😭😭😭😭

Latest update here:
Momotaro (from the game) seems to resemble the way our latest curse victim sees her fiancé...?
Momotaro from folklore seems to resemble Yuuji.
I've seen some debate about whether Miwa actually got involved so Todo could boogie woogie Maki out - (which is fair bc are we dreaming? What can we trust at this point?)
But at the time (ch. 258), Miwa can be seen with Maki,
!! What if (regarding the dreamlike last chapters)
Yk how Yuuji wasn't allowed to know the plan bc what if through resonance Sukuna would learn of it?
I think its more likely for Megumi to experience that - especially after Nobara struck the last finger.
It would explain Megumi's laughter at Gojo's letter
And Yuuji's reaction to seeing Hiromi
Bc Sukuna can share awareness around his cursed objects (if they aren't sealed, afaik). And by the end, Megumi was no longer just dissociating in his innate domain. It's likely for him to know what Sukuna knows.
Which is how I was justifying the news about Toji etc (but just that, Sukuna learned about it during Gojo's afterlife scene- however)
It makes sense that conversations are being had around Sukuna's last finger. Buuutt I rly thought it was foreshadowed that in the end, Gojo becomes Sukuna's vessel (idk man, at this point I feel a lil insecure about that) - BUT if Megumi picks up on that resonance, on the fact that Gojo is actually very alive (I feel like he would want to preserve the last artifact, at least. I can't be convinced that he did try to hollow purple the fingies in the first place (though sukuna or Kenjaku may have placed a vow on them for protection) bc not even Satoru Gojo was aware of Kenjaku or his plan to manipulate a vessel into eating them).
And so, Sukuna's last finger is aware of Hiromi living, which makes Megumi know this, and Yuuji has that uncertain reaction. Like, I didn't put this here. (idk man idk what's going on).
Whether they're dying or fine, it seems like Megumi is going along with Yuuji's dream, subconsciously adding world-building elements to it himself - like how during kenjaku and Takaba's fight, there was soul resonance between them, yet they were still able to surprise each other.
Hell, maybe sukuna got to the airport as Gojo was leaving and decided to eat the last finger (it doesn't sound like any of them are in Sukuna's remains, considering how they turned like ash). The fact that Sukuna got no afterlife scene is suspicious - though I'm not sure whether he gets one at all, if any of his fingers are still out there.
I wonder if the absence / appearance of Yuuji's fingers, Megumi's scar, is based on how they view one another and themselves.
Yuuji's domain seemed to have that effect on sukuna - whether he appeared as Yuuji's doppelganger or in his own form.
Ok new theory on the last dreamlike chapters bc I can't believe that they are not real - but like Kenjaku said, in the rift between dreams and reality, the cursed realm or whatever -
Yuuji's domain... I think it leaked out (even Yuuta had issues when the barrier broke after he hollow purpled the barrier on Gojo's domain, and he had training). This was Itadori's first time using domain expansion - and he has Sukuna's barrierless domain muscle memory.
Just like the way Sukuna appeared as Yujikuna or as his true form, Yuuji and Megumi's scars and fingers keep changing (I think it's based on the way they perceive each other).
Is Megumi ending up with Hana?
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 270
What do you think guys? 🤔
It is clear that the author does not have much experience in writing. He did not give us more useful ideas or information than those found in the last chapters. The events were so hasty and so fast that I could not understand them clearly, not even the words and dialogues. It was very difficult to understand anything without reading the comments. 😶
Also, I don't think it's fair to let Megumi end up with Hana. I read the comments, and they mentioned that he just wanted to fix what Sukuna did to her arm, nothing more. So, I'm not sure, yet. 🤷♀️
Itadori is barely shown. Everyone suddenly became so happy and calm despite the traumas and sad events they went through in the manga. 😪
We need more details, Gege :')
And, yeah.. there's nothing more about Gojo.. :')
And what the hell was that person with Takaba?! Didn't Kenjaku die?
Jjk is one of my favorite mangas, and it is so disappointing that there aren't enough details.. 😪
But, still.. I can't hate jjk. Despite the flaws it has. 🙁
I'll wait patiently for the last chapter :')
gege gave me all pain but he also gave us shoko so I think that cancels out
Megumi’s face in this panel fucking kills me, that’s the face of a gay man who did not ask to be the romantic pursuit of the straightest woman in the entire manga, this was basically the exact opposite of the “oh so it’s like that” scene with his “no not in that way”
that recent fit
