I recently watched the movie for the first time. It just hit me how strong the parallels are between Yuuta/Rika and Gojo/Geto. Yuuta and Gojo can't bring themselves to process Rika and Geto's deaths, which leads to the latter two persisting in dangerous, perverted forms. Both Yuuta's arc in the movie and Gojo's current arc in the manga deal with putting their friends to rest.
While it's clearer to me now that Gojo and Geto love each other quite a lot, I still think their love is platonic rather than romantic.
Another opinion the movie reinforced for me is that Yuuta has the worst characterization and development of any of the Tokyo students. His initial arc of grieving properly and learning that life is worth living with friends is fine (if a little cliche). The scene where he lets Rika go is sweet. Then...he simply manifests a hollow version of her monstrous form and continues fighting, gaining zero new skills (besides reversed cursed technique, which is only brought up in one chapter) or insights in the main manga. His fight was my second-least-favourite in the Culling Game. The only thing that brings it above Megumi vs. Reggie for me is the fact that I found Uro pretty cool.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.I find this interesting. Because going off the chapter it sounds that outside of Gojo's inherent cheat abilities, Sukuna's just overall better than him. Which actually is the impression I already had, but I wasn't sure if the story wanted it to seem that way. And also most other readers didn't seem to agree.
That being said, even if Gojo loses (which I do think is the more likely outcome for a number of reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did win), obviously it's not going to be from this. That's way too soon.
Yeah, were Gojo to die from this, the Internet Backdraft would be massive. Gege may dislike him, but doing that would be the nail in the coffin for many readers since Gojo is one of the main draws of the series.
Also, seeing everyone discussing what was going on, it felt like I was watching a YouTube Reaction Group. Or a JoJo's battle.
Fifteen-ish pages of Magi Babble followed by an anticlimactic defeat. Yeah, that's JJK alright.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.I mean, Sukuna could beat Gojo here without having to use Megumi's technique at all and that be reserved for whatever comes after. I don't find that particularly likely, but it's possible. Same for whatever Yorozu gave him.
If the story is going to to continue beyond this fight there will be other opportunities for these things to come up.
I be hating for no reason lol. Yeah, I strongly doubt this fight is over just yet, but at the very least this'll have to make Gojo take it truly seriousoy and realize he can't just statcheck Sukuna like he can literally anyone else.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.Here's a thought, what if "Angel" and "Fallen One/Disgraced One" aren't titles, but actual names that shouldn't be translated? And that she and Sukuna are actually siblings or otherwise related?
Considering the story has been so cryptic about all of that it seems like we're gonna go into Sukuna's backstory sooner or later, and if the story is actually ending this year, I'd imagine sooner.
I mean they have some connections to Abrahamic religions as Angels abilities are based around using moves named after things from said Religions, and calling him the Fallen One is directly meant to invoke Fallen Angel.
The real question is when how did they come into contact with it as Christianity didn’t come to Japan until much later.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

So far I'm just glad all sides are having fun.
