If we exclude those killing ppl and eating ppl talk we can say Sukuna gave a zen speech to Kashimo. Sukuna loves himself which is a spiritual love, material love is trash for him. He seeks nothing outside himself, he knows he will die someday SO he gonna enjoy his best life. Sukuna Never gets bored cuz even tho they are weak they are still interesting to Sukuna. He understand both curse spirit and Human. He also felt nervousness and surprised but he let him down cuz of that. SUKUNA went to fight with a plan to improve his ability he knew Gojo's limitless is problem but he also knew he can cut through it with guidance, Gojo went to fight thinking he is the winner. Sukuna is real honored one. Sukuna is based on Shinto God Sukuna, he is powerful like that cursed God cuz he is based on him so stop saying he is plotkuna or anything, he is the core Sukunahibikuna which is jjk based off.
It's funny, because I've always taken JJK as a story about truth more than anything else. Where we find it is perhaps the difference. For me. the idea that Gojo was in it for kicks is in many ways. Projecting, from many others. Dealing with the anxiety of someone who could at any time, wipe out all of humanity. Alienating him, because there's no way for someone like that to ever be human. . .Right? But how true is that? In chapter 172, there's a fight between Megumi and a one-off Sorcerer named Reggie. It's a pretty snappy battle and at the end, when Megumi takes the win, Reggie offers the following line as part of his closing remarks: "In the end. . .it always comes down to a sorcerer's lies." That to me, is the thesis statement of JJK. Always has been. Every time we see a character grow. Every time we see someone change, and adapt, or every time we see someone die, or get injured - It almost always comes down to a misconception. A lie that a character has either internalized, failed to understand or perceive, or perhaps a more active misdirection. Nobara dies when she ignores what Nanami tells her. Yuji is unable to beat Mahito until he's able to reconcile life and death as concrete facets of life. Gojo is trapped the first time based on a misdirection several years, if not possibly decades and centuries (Depending on when you think Kenjaku got the prison realm), in the making. Hell, the biggest example of this comes from Toji's own death in the flashback arc. He died the second he lost sight of what actually mattered to him. The second he put the comfort of his ego above all else, and deluded himself into needing to take this fight. The flipside is also true though. Like I said. Yuji can't beat Mahito until he reconciles life and death. Maki gets her full heavenly restriction after Mai's passing, but it's not completed until someone points out how her own assumptions isolated her from her potential. Again, let's talk about Megumi, who's had a full on special grade technique since he was 8, but because he didn't rely on Gojo for training (Either out of projected resentment not at Gojo, but at the Jujutsu world as a whole, for which Gojo's mapped onto that as his introduction to it. OR! Because he used Gojo as a measuring stick, and got caught in the delusion that he could never approach his power.) - And it's not until he hears it from someone else that he begins to really develop as a sorcerer. It always comes down to a sorcerer's lies. To their opponents, certainly. But **always** to themselves. But that's. Only one piece of the puzzle. Another thing JJK loves to play with is the idea of strength. Solitary and communal alike. Now, I say strength not power, and I wanna be very clear about that. Power? Is external. It's a currency we use to buy change. To make our cause have effect. That can be in physical power, that can be in money, social currency and influence. Whatever. Strength is internal. Strength is the foundation of self. The ability to look at awful cruel reality and smile anyway. Gojo was always the most powerful AND the strongest. And if he does stay dead here, I'd say that's because in the end. He fails to adhere to the lessons he's accidentally imparted to everyone else. For him and Sukuna, they are solitarily the strongest. Alone on their distant peaks. But his students? Their strength is always communal. They bounce off of each other, they pick each other up where the prior generations had to survive and rationalize tragedy alone. They break each other of their delusions, all the time. They build and foster a strength you can only find in chaos when you're living honestly and you all bump against one another. Gojo fails, right at the end. Because he and Sukuna are cut from the same cloth, even though in his heart he always knew what was lacking. Communal foundation. Can we honestly say if Gojo had the ability to fight side by side with other people - With Yuta's cursed copying, with Hakari's infinite cursed energy, Maki's straight up ridiculous damage and perception skills/ability to hide from domains, and Yuji's unflinching durability - that he would have died? I know what all the major antagonists, and indeed some supporting characters, have said, but. That's part of the point now isn't it? The next generation's duty is to surpass what the previous one left for it in heartbreak and failings. Gojo not being perfect was pretty readily apparent from the word jump from me. All these kids after all were our focal points. And you can't triumph over a peak without leaving it behind. That death felt inevitable. Because the truth is that time keeps moving regardless. Now, I could be wrong/crazy. But I'm interested to hear your takes if you do end up seeing/reading this.
Gege made gojo so strong, that in the end, he made gojo said that sukuna was stronger than him without ten shadows, when in reality there was nothing that was shown to prove it. Except that statement.
Yeah I think the biggest problem is the dehumanising of Gojo, of too much admiration that even fans do, thinking he is flawless he is invincible he has no personal desire, but after getting beaten by Sukunam the truth appears that he is just as scared as everyone else and trying all he got to win, but it was way too convincing, it was hidden way too deep that it just feel like a sudden downward slam to what Gojo is to people's heart
It's crazy because Aleczandxr made a video where he justifies 236 for the exact opposite reasons as you and also says that we've "Fallen for an illusion" So which is it huh
Neither and both. It's their interpretations and you can have your own. Six also went for Gojo is purely selfish route, but I personally agree with Aleczandxr more. But any story is for you to interpret in the end.
This chapter 236 is 10/10 for me This chapter writing wise is magnificent. Gojo isn't a 1 dimensional character he is teacher but he is also Strongest he enjoys fighting and he enjoyed the whole fight with Sukuna, Gojo is so strong that's why no one can join him in battle, in Shibuya too he fought alone. There is a big gap between Gojo and others that's why he understands Sukuna's loneliness.
I think u missed the point of his character and are also misunderstanding the fact that things said by characters in a series are not necessarily true because they have their own pov and own bias. Judge by the things that have happened. Also applies to narrators. Sometimes they can be unreliable.
SPOILERS: The (probably) final scene of Gojo still throws me off. I know Gege Akutami (author of JJK) doesn’t like Gojo, but still this felt so disrespectful. Watching one of the most well known manga/anime characters die like that was…well it was shocking. I quite literally closed my computer and just walked around when I saw this. I didn’t really know what else to do, because it just didn’t make sense to me. Gojo doesn’t lose. He shouldn’t, and that’s why this was the most shocked I’ve been reading in a long while
Lets always remember, Gojo is the character the creator hated because he was so strong. I understand that the title is a lil click baity but without the convenience of plot pushing for him to die, its no other reasons he should have.
Only once Gojo got what he always wanted, to fight with someone with nothing held back, he died. And only with his death will people really value him
If we exclude those killing ppl and eating ppl talk we can say Sukuna gave a zen speech to Kashimo. Sukuna loves himself which is a spiritual love, material love is trash for him.

great video, gave an interesting perspective instead of just character assassination for his death near the end
The way you described gojo in this video was perfect! I absolutely agree with you
Yeah I think the biggest problem is the dehumanising of Gojo, of too much admiration that even fans do, thinking he is flawless he is invincible he has no personal desire, but after getting beaten by Sukunam the truth appears that he is just as scared as everyone else and trying all he got to win, but it was way too convincing, it was hidden way too deep that it just feel like a sudden downward slam to what Gojo is to people's heart

Oooh that’s interesting, I’ll have to check out his video and see how our views differ
This chapter 236 is 10/10 for me
This chapter writing wise is magnificent. Gojo isn't a 1 dimensional character he is teacher but he is also Strongest he enjoys fighting and he enjoyed the whole fight with Sukuna, Gojo is so strong that's why no one can join him in battle, in Shibuya too he fought alone.

straight up character assasination thank you gege
I think u missed the point of his character and are also misunderstanding the fact that things said by characters in a series are not necessarily true because they have their own pov and own bias. Judge by the things that have happened. Also applies to narrators. Sometimes they can be unreliable.
he missed the point where gege assassinated his character

The self insert power trip character dies... *panik!!!*
@@mamertvonn
Do you mean Sukuna? The character gege glaze the entire manga and force others characters to go OOC to glaze Sukuna too?
Lets always remember, Gojo is the character the creator hated because he was so strong. I understand that the title is a lil click baity but without the convenience of plot pushing for him to die, its no other reasons he should have.
first also nice video
I think there were people comparing him to Saitama. HA! What a joke.
What? Tf, shut up
This comment is the greatest joke
Gojo is a Better character than Saitama
