I've seen thousand why Gojo this why gojo that.. but literally nobody addresses this thing which changed me as a person where from a high anger management-Anxiety- uncontrollable panic attack on something impulsive just in the moment to the way i'm today with none of mental health issues nor depression & it is because of GOJO. Like whoever i've talked about nobody noticed that like How or why?? the very 1st thing he says after his "honored one" phase is "In order to keep infinity RCT all the time, I've to keep my mind Fresh all the time"
What I love about Gojo is how normal he actually is. When I first saw the character I thought I would really dislike him. But he plays videogames, talks about freaking Dragon Ball with teenagers and is so chill despite being the strongest and a good guy, is what elevates his charisma to ridiculous heights
I fell for him after the pein drawing he made for nanami plus I love silly funny guys. Not to mention they made him extremely gorgeous but besides the point
Gojo's like the rare case of a Mary Sue done right. Think that's the case because he isn't the MC. If he was the MC, I get the feeling a lot of people would have problems with that. But because he was introduced via other characters, he doesn't come across as cringe. Instead, since his kind is so rarely tackled because their authors fear writing a Mary Sue, that makes him intriguing. Like a rare species.
I wouldn’t call Gojo a Mary sue even though he’s powerful, he faces narrative and emotional challenges. His strength isolates him, making it difficult for him to connect with others on a personal level. He also has to navigate complex political and moral dilemmas within the jujutsu society.
@@imraystation from my understanding of what a Mary Sue is boiled down to its most basic components, A "Mary Sue" is a character who for whatever reason bends the laws of the world around them by simply existing. These can be either negative or positive changes, as long as those changes are only happening because the Mary Sue exists. The Mary Sue can be as self aware of this as they want to be, they can be morally conflicted about it even, but that won't change that they are taking the narrative position of a Mary Sue. Other symptoms may include: everyone is obsessed with the Mary Sue for whatever reason, conversation between other characters always circles back to the Mary Sue in some way, those they side against are without question the antagonists (except in cases of redemption) and those they side with are without question the protagonists (except in cases of betrayal). The Mary Sue is also often very emotionally driven and self confident, rarely to the detriment of themself. Yes, he has political, moral, and emotional issues. I would even say that is _because_ he is a Mary Sue, narratively speaking. In no way am I saying this type of Mary Sue, one which takes all the tropes but excludes the vibes, is a bad one. I myself absolutely _love_ writing characters like this, after all: trying to get as close to a true Mary Sue without making it feel like one. So I am not actually insulting Gojo here by calling him one. Just pointing out an interesting pattern.
I see on insta and other platforms people make original characters that are ALWAYS Special grades with no flaws 🤣 gojo is intriguing cause there are so many flaws in him and how often he has failed the ppl around him, his strength is his weakness in a sense, and it isolates him from others around him: only hero truly saw him as a person
My husband asked me why Gojo was my favorite character in anime, and I said something similar. “Cuz not only is he arrogant and conceited af, but he’s got the power to actually match the arrogance. It’s a breath of fresh air from having previous arrogant characters that couldn’t walk the walk when they talked big. But it also adds to his character that he cares about people, and is capable of being something other than an arrogant prick.”
When gojo died. Lobotomy kaisen started. Thats how hard of an impact his death had on everyone. Anyone that hadnt watched or read jjk got exposed to all the nah id win and through the heaven and earth memes and picked up jjk themselves. All cuz of chapter 236. Our glorious blue eyed king is forever gone and no i dont count yutojo as gojo being back cuz obviously. Great video!
@@andresterrazas855 not at the scale that it went to after chapter 236 🗿 lobotomy kaisen kicked into high gear after gojos death through the insane level of copium hopium and everything-ium you can think of. So maybe you misunderstood what i meant but there ya go.
There are still people in the world who don't know this. Pretty disrespectful of the king and his fans to spoil it thoughtlessly. As a manga reader, I am upset on their behalf.
Gojo Satoru is a walking cheat code, a glitch in the system that broke the ‘meta’ of the jujutsu world, and he has grown up with full knowledge of this reality. He is him. There was no one else. And he can do what he wants. It’s a huge and actually quite refreshing twist that he uses this power for net good, instead of becoming an international menace.
@@sora5982 The editor of JJK said once that Gege acts similar to Gojo. And Gege has said that hates Gojo, and many people think its because the similiraty with its character
Bro has so many aspects to his appeal and its all topped off by the fact that he is a genuinely very well written character. He’s so good at everything its no wonder Gege hates him, if i knew someone like him I’d hate them too
The reason that Gojo appeals to me, especially as a queer person, is that he is DEEPLY relateable, despite being the most unrelatable character in anime ever considering his power. If you think about it, almost everything that has gone wrong in the canon era has been Gojo's fault. Because of his sentimentality. He couldnt let Suguru get cremated, he needed to bury him properly. He couldnt let Yuta or Yuuji be executed. He wanted Rika to have one last good day, tiring himself to the point that Toji would be able to kill him with the ease he did. Sukuna could have continued to be restrained if his vessal had just been executed. Maybe Nanako and Mimiko would have had the opportunity to see their father figure properly resting. Most of all, though, he lost someone he loves to radicalization. His best friend was isolated and radicalized and depressed and Gojo didn't notice until it was too late. Far, far too late.
i fail to see how being queer has anything to do with what u said haha. and u said he appeals to u cuz hes relatable but what part specifically? ig something ab the last sentence? but again i dont get y that especially relates to u being queer. not hating im just tryna see ur perspective
We can’t blame everything on Gojo. Gojo didn’t turn Geto into a villain before his death. He was already slipping down that path. Gojo wasn’t the reason Riko died and Tengen didn’t get a new body. He pushed himself to the limit trying to make sure she was safe till the end. Toji just outplayed him and did what he does best. Gojo wasn’t the catalyst for Yuta creating Rika. If anything, him stopping Yuta’s execution was a net positive in gaining another special grade sorcerer ally. Gojo wasn’t the catalyst for Yuji becoming Sukuna’s vessel. It’s not even his fault Yuji died. He was sent away on a mission and the higher ups sent Yuji to that mission with the sole purpose of getting him killed. The only thing we could really blame him for is Kenjaku getting a hold of Geto’s body. Gojo’s whole existence was taken into account by Kenjaku since he’s already been stopped twice by 2 other six eyes users. I think most people would fail when they’ve been plotted against for over 1000 years before they were even born.
Just commenting before finishing the video here. Gojo is so beloved because he's just well written. It's quite simple. He isn't lacking in any categories. He's appealing to both the male and female demographic. Other popular characters usually have at least one or two major things missing from their character writing. If one character is attractive, they might have a boring personality. If one character is super powerful they might not be as conventionally attractive. You can switch all these traits around constantly but the point is that most characters lack at least one aspect in their writing. Gege did an insanely good job writing Gojo. Not only is he so outrageously attractive that even straight men begin to swerve, he's objectively pretty. Like he has feminine traits while not lacking in masculinity. His eyes are also a huge part as well. Eyes are extremely important in character design. It's where you look when you have a conversation with someone. It's quite small, but it's the most prominent part of everybody's body. Gojo has those shining pretty boy eyes. He has a toned body while not being too beefy, but his muscles can shine through with the right clothing. He has a good backstory. His tragic tale with Geto is incredible. I see an insane amount of shipping in the JJK community mostly around Gojo and Geto. Next we have his personality. He's carefree and kind of a dick. This makes him flawed, but it's not a flaw that drives people away. Instead, this part of his character might actually be one of the most loved parts of his character. He's not a complete asshole either and loves his students dearly. He stands up to social norms and doesn't care about the social hierarchy. He lets his students talk to him casually and he talks casually to his superiors. He simply doesn't care for formalities much either. He has character development as well. In his highschool days, he was shown to not care for the weak and had no sense of responsibility. When Geto left, he grew the desire to nurture the next generation as a teacher. He is still sometimes irresponsible, but that shows that his character wasn't outright completely revamped. He simply matured. He also has the insane character introduction as well. Bro came in and beat the shit out of Sukuna during his first appearance. Then he had such an playful student-teacher dynamic with Yuji. It's hard not to love him. Simply put, the reason people love him is because he's just really well written and really well drawn. It's not actually that hard to understand. You write good characters and people will like them.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but it kinda confuses me that people legitimately think Gege hates Gojo, he never said that, he said he didn't like having to write around his strength since it was literally impossible to build tension while he was around, especially early in the story. I don't get how people heard that and thought Gege had an actual hatred for the fictional character he created
Using bleach as an example of the hot love interest when Ichigo had Urahara Shinji and specially Yoruichi (arguably 3 of the hottest characters) as mentors.
Yes, Bleach also have a lot difference from standard shonen tropes/style! I noticed that even as a teen. Nowadays i think it's more common and it's great. Also Ichigo very handsome and stylish looking young man😊 Kubo created beautiful characters with cool fashion style for any taste.
So you don't have to be a Gojo fan to know that fight was odd. To even suggest Sakuna held back makes no sense as Gojo damaged him enough that he could not use his domain expansion. It was close and I would argue he died for plot than lack of strength. But hey I am unhealthily obsessed with this man, but even Sakuna fans weren't crazy with how the fight was handled.
Sukuna "held back" because he knew that if he gave his all to defeat gojo he would be easy picking for his next opponents That doesn't mean Sukuna took Gojo lightly
@@protoprime4213your statement is contradictory. ‘He knew that if he gave his whole’… since when do you choose to give your whole or not against someone who’s close to your own potential? The thing is that there is no world in which sukuna can beat gojo and be barely alive. Either he wins rather easily with little damage, takes some heavy damage but is still at 40% alright or just loses. Since gojo can virtually not get tired since he starts hitting black flash left and right as soon we he shows any sign of danger, there is only so much damage sukuna can take before he is in a state in which no matter what he does, gojo will win. Because sukuna’s cursed energy will only keep dropping while gojo’s doesn’t. The only way he could have killed gojo is through domain clash, or bypass infinity AND catching gojo off guard somehow. Besides i doubt sukuna was ever worried about the small fish since compared to gojo, they’re really weak.
@@DKing-du6xr What kind of comment is this? Sukuna won for many reasons and gojo lost . deal with it. It's not contradictory. You can take your opponent seriously whilst not showing your whole arsenal, especially when 90 percent of said arsenal is useless against the limitless
Sukuna was not using all his cursed techniques, so he was "holding back", but not in the sense that he was purposefully being weaker. The Heian Form and other techniques couldn't breach infinity, so there was no use for them, and his plan just needed Mahoraga and his cleave. Would it make sense to use everything in your arsenal, even if it didn't work against the opponent you're fighting, and allow the sorcerers (who were going to jump him in waves right after Sukuna finished his battle) on the sidelines to simultaneously learn all your techniques and take advantage of them? Obviously not. This is why Sukuna was "holding back." It was only logical. Sukuna was also testing ways he could bypass infinity with his own knowledge, while also testing Gojo. He already had the plan of using Mahoroga just in case if Gojo proved to be strong, which he did. Sukuna used DA and DE on gojo to see if he would die from those, and because he didn't, he'd then go back to using the plan he had already made, which was using Mahoraga to create a Cleave specifically made to ignore infinity. So sukuna protects mahoraga, hides in the shadows, lets the shikigamis fight for him as he charges up, and analyzes the information Mahoraga brings to him. After Gojo basically blows everyone up, Sukuna gets desperate since he thinks he will die before figuring out how to bypass infinity, but fortunately he gets it right on time, because Mahoraga had already figured out infinity by then, so his desperation was pretty short and went away after he kills gojo using Cleave, the information on how to bypass Infinity brought by Mahoraga, and the energy he had saved by hiding the whole second round of the fight and avoiding Gojo's attacks. Sukuna is centuries old (~1000 yrs old) and his mastery, understanding, and knowledge of numerous techniques is better than anyone else that it genuinely does play a huge role in his fights. Besides, Gojo is in his 20s, and I can't imagine he has anywhere near the amount of knowledge on jujutsu sorcery than Sukuna with his centuries of experience. Gojo definitely has better battle iq with how much he improvised during the fight, but Sukuna's experience, mastery of his arsenal's technique, and usage of both shikigamis and mahoroga gave him the upper hand.
Bear in mind that its the anime that pushed Gojo (and all JJK characters) to lust boy status due to the anime's more conventional art design. Gege's rougher manga art style didn't elicit this same reaction until the anime smoothened the edges.
The only reason he wasn't a villain is pure pettiness for the way he was raised. He wanted to beat the higher ups at their own game, and he knew if he just killed them all (which he could) no one would follow him, and the higher ups would be replaced by people who wouldn't change anything. We love a petty king. (also I'm in denial - I want him back as a ghost at the least... His quips are too good to live without)
Gpjo works because hes a mary sue that doesnt win. He has it all, and yet he STILL loses at every turn. He failed to stop toji He failed to save riko He failed to stop geto from turning evil He failed to prevent jogo from escaping He failed to stop hanami from escaping He failed to protext his students. If sukuna hadnt made a deal, yuji wouldve died. He failed to avoid the prison realm. Then when he got put, he failed to defeat sukuna. Nearly every problem that exists in the story is a direct result of his failing to do what he wants to do. His domain even reflects this, being a void that gives you everything yet leaves you unable to do anything with what you're given.
This! He has godlike powers yet he’s still human at the end of the day. For example he defeats the curses in the train station, but he ends up sealed because of his emotional reaction to fake Geto.
finally someone gets it. Gojo's victory against sukuna isnt from his inherited power, its from his ONLY successful idea- raising strong students. if Gojo wins, the students were useless all along, and his FINAL GOAL would have been a failure. him dying was his only actual accomplishment because its the only time his goals can come to fruition
I can see him as just a perfect boyfriend material for most of the women. They will want to be with him because he's very handsome, tall, lean, charismatic, and flirty
you're just a clown, gege never said that in the interview... Gojo fanboys... you're amazing, and by the way no, he didn't win, he became a kit kat and sucked sukuna's dic* while talking to Geto, cry harder 🤡
No he didn’t. Please stop saying “the author said this” with no citation then treating it like it’s a fact. He lost the same way he always loses (which was a total of 2 times buy whatever) - getting snuck by something he didn’t see coming.
@@kingkocoa4467Gege did admit in a Q/A he had to seal Gojo to advance the plot---this information isn't difficult to find. While that wasn't necessarily a bad call you can infer by that statement Sukuna winning wasn't entirely well-executed---this is further supported by how many holes you can poke in his victory.
What are you talking about? Majority MCs in shonen are weak teenagers who suddenly become strong. Its never the op characte And yuji still have the asspull MC card
This is a lil out of context but as someone who struggles with suicide a lot I always questioned why people care so much about my life and whether I’m alive or not, and it made me realize I never lost someone close to me so I never knew what it was like. Idk how but someone a fictional character helped me be able to understand that. And not just one, it was multiple. Megumi, Nobara, choso, and gojo. It makes me realize there’s so much time I wish they had living so that I could see them shine more. It kinda goes for the same with my ex best friend. I still miss them so much.(they ain’t dead tho dw)
People should be allowed to take fiction seriously, especially if they feel like they genuinely gained knowledge or felt emotion towards it. I am rooting for you!
Dude i had started watching jjk cause i thought Gojo looked hot. By the end of it: i not only thought he was hot. I thought his powers were so cool and they're the only ones i really understand out of all of jjks abilities 😭
Bahaha u have good taste then. My bf got me watching jjk and I was into the show from the first episode. Didn’t think much of gojo until the pein drawing he gave to nanami 😂 his blind fold and spikey hair makes him so hot tho doesn’t it remind u of s&m
What I love about his character is despite being raised and treated like a weapon his whole life, when it came to his students and his friends he never saw them like that, riko was the star plasma vessel and seen as just something for Tengen to merge with, gojo was adamant that she gets to have a choice on what she does with her own life, when she got killed he was determined that no other kid was ever put through that because of the Jujutsu world, that’s why he stopped Yuji and yuta from being executed because he believes that no kids should have their youth taken away from them like he was and what happened to his friend riko. He also genuinely believes in his students being able to surpass him one day, and genuinely cares for them. It’s a shame the world saw him as just a weapon and not a person. Despite being the strongest he still couldn’t save the people most important to him, riko, geto, nanami, yaga-sensei. Just goes to show that being the strongest takes a toll on you
Hello I’m so glad your video ended up in my algorithm. I enjoyed this video so much not only are you hilarious and well spoken but your editing is top-notch. Looking forward to seeing what else is on your channel.I
Gojo is the best character in the entire jjk series (he’s my princess) (my husband) (help me) Gojo is arguably one of the best written characters, though. Killing him off was unnecessary. :( 8:48 my happy marriage mention Gojo is actually so gorgeous and beautiful. Not only is he the strongest but his beauty is unattainable
killing him off was absolutely necessary, it was the whole point of his character. his arc relies on the fact that he is NEVER successful at reaching his goals, despite being the strongest. In the story he: fails to save the star plasma vessel fails to save Geto fails to stop Geto from getting Yuta fails at goodwill, because Mahito gets sukuna fingers and cursed objects from JJT fails in Shibuya by getting sealed fails in his fight against Sukuna The ONLY thing he's ever sucessful at is his ONLY real goal: raising a generation of sorcerers that DONT rely on him. For this, it has to be the sorcerers killing sukuna, and gojo has to DIE to prove his ONLY REAL GOAL was successful. If gojo comes back/if he won against sukuna, this would diminish his arc heavily. from the first chapter, he HAD to die
@@quo9138 Yeah I get that he basically failed throughout his life, and that his goal was raising another generation of sorcerers, but the main thing I don’t like about his death is HOW it happened. -Off-screen -Out-of-character thoughts in the airport scene. Seriously? All he cared about was his and Fraudkuna’s strength and power? Not his students? Idk I might have felt at least a little better if he got a proper send off… you made a lot of good points, but I also worry about Megumi when they inevitably beat Sukuna and Megumi either dies that way or, if Gojo stays dead, how disgusted and horrified he’d be with himself after watching Sukuna kill Gojo with his body. I don’t think Gojo’s purpose as a character was to just die, though.
@@solarssolstice no his purpose wasn't to die, but the only way to end his character was for him to die/lose. if he stayed alive or came back, everyone who died after him would have died in vain since gojo would've come back and beaten a much weaker sukuna. also, the airport scene makes sense because its the only time Gojo got to fight all out, as Sukuna cured his loneliness and released him of his 'curse' (the responsibility of being a monolith of humanity). gojo and sukuna both couldn't have killed each other without the assistance of others (megumi for sukuna, and the students for gojo), but the way they went about gathering other people's strengths is whats different and ultimately why gojo will die a winner whereas sukuna will die losing, because Gojo both got cured of his curse and also got sukuna killed, whereas sukuna's downfall will be his selfish attitude and the most meaningful thing in his life will have been the fight with Gojo, as he says he'll "never forget him"
I genuinely knew who Gojo was before I knew what JJK even was, and when I learned about JJK, I didn't think he was in it, until he showed up and I was so confused. Thought he was the main character in some pretty boy anime, not bloody "damn there went that character" JJK xD
Fantastic video!! Gojo is the pinnacle of ⭐D a d d y ' s H o m e⭐. But that's the problem, there's always a day when daddy doesnt come back. The milk can't keep getting away with this...
I would say that it’s not just straight women who like m/m ships - a large quantity of fandom works are made by people of the Lgbtq+ community- myself included. And often they can become a safer place for people who are discovering themselves. I grew up in a deeply religious household and it was through fandom and m/m relationships in those fandoms that I discovered it was ok to like the same gender and that I didn’t need to suppress myself.
certified case of "born to shojou genre, forced to shonen" chad. Can you imagine, a shojou manga with gojo as the ultimate male lead to chase after? lmao
I have to pause this absolutely spectacular video so far, but: have you just denied Aizawa the ‘eye candy status’? He is our very much overworked, over-caring and underslept dad(dy) eye-candy! ❤
21:48 Just one note: at least speaking in terms of ao3, if you look into the ao3 demographic surveys, you'll that is a blatant majority of queer people! I think it's important when we talk about yaoi ships, to not forget that at least in occident a huge part of the fandom is queer!
and that shipping, especially non-reader insert ones like m/m usually, are NOT inherently connected with wanting to take one of the guys' places??? Only truly weird take in this video imo... like,, nah actually, sometimes people just like to play with fictional characters like they did with dolls as kids. Don't mean you want to be either of them lol
On first watch Gojo reminded me of Urahara from bleach. But Urahara was more of a hermit mad scientist while gojo loved to flex any chance he got 😂 Their cheeky sense of humor is about the same tho.
i have never watched jjk, never read a chapter of it, i knew and know nothing beyond I have been seeing this pretty man on my time line on occasion... so... WTF DO YOU MEAN HE'S A TEACHER???
@Sienisota I just put it down to jealousy. Jealous of a popular character, there are those that don't like popular characters in general for some dumb reason which I think it's pretty sad. Then there are those that are jealous their favorites are not receiving the same attention which I also think is pretty sad. They can't just let us enjoy things.
My ex used to say if she could put a bag over my head with Gojo’s face on it and call out his name during sex she would’ve. So I feel like I have SOME valid reason to hate him lol
This may seem like a small thing but I'm grateful you even mentioned "the NB Clan" as an afterthought. I'm not used to having my existence acknowledged. Lol. Enbies love Gojo too
at first i didn't even watch JJK enough to remember Gojo's appearance, then for some reason I had a dream about him being my bf and began to obsess over him since then I love my glorious king
This put into words the reason why my favourite characters are people I want to become or look up to And my female friends' favourite characters are the ones they want to meet and have a good time with (in a non sexual way..... at least that's what they tell me) But we both also have the characters we just want to protect and see happy because they deserve it.
This is a very well done video, I am straight up flabbergasted at the lack of views??? I had simply opened a random video to listen to as I draw, but every time I even so much as glanced at the screen, I would see the most well editted rubbish in the world??? Your script is hilarious where it counts, just enough to make it noticable that you are truly one of us, and not someone who researched it for the sake of a video. It personalizes you and I am living for it. The analysis by itself is rather astute, and does make one realise just the sheer frankenstein's monster of tropes Gojo is, and that Gege is as much a genius as the devil. I am surprised that you are capable of making such levels of videos with the very little amount of subs, likes, and views you have, and you absoloutely deserve more! >:0 Anyway, take my sub, my like, recommendation to my fellow down-bad friends, and a future repeat-viewer! Keep it up and have a good day!
gojo si 50% of the plot in jjk. think about it, he is why half of the heaviest hitters in the show are around, why everyone gets strong, why our mc and supporting cast are able to get stronger, and he is the powerhouse of the good side. he also encapsulates all of the themes of the story. ego, being cursed and the meaning behind those curses and he is the leader of the revolution against jujutsu society. hes the goat in every aspect. without gojo jjk is not even half as functional as a story
You know what, i would be pissed too if someone tried to make me believe that one of the most powerful hero not only wasn't able to eliminate the other most powerful villain, but was also killed off by said villain and then some newbie will be able to do what the most powerful coukdn't... like, SERIOUSLY???😤😤😤😤😤 And this happens a lot in this kind of genre....🙄🙄🙄
You should definitely do Guts character design, all of his armor, from the younger scrappier teen guts, to band of the hawk where his armor although slightly scrapped together denotes leadership, to his black swordsman armor which represents his declining and darkening mental state, to the berserker armor inactivated that he wears casually, it shows he’s become closer to that world of darkness, yet without the helmet always on it shows him keeping his humanity. And then well activated berserker armor which is..yeah. And then the change in his face and body, his resting somber look now compared to his angry and even sinister looks from earlier chapters etc
i'm blatantly stealing this from another video essay i watched the other day, but one thing some people don't seem to realize about gojo's death is that he had to die- or otherwise no longer be present in jujutsu society in the way he is throughout jjk- to achieve his goals and be freed from the shackles of being "the strongest." the reason he became a teacher was to create a new generation of sorcerers who could become his equals and stand with him, not below him like everyone else. all in the hope that someday he wouldn't have to shoulder the burden of basically holding jujutsu society in stability alone. at his core, gojo is a sad lonely twink who lost the only person that ever really came close to matching or understanding him, with whom he use to share the title of "the strongest." hell, he had to kill that person himself, that of course being geto. and even then, after riko was killed and gojo got even stronger while geto fell into depression, the gap between them grew even further and then geto abandoned him to become a mass murderer, leaving gojo all alone at the top as a bottom (we all know it's true don't argue with me). anyway i got very off topic talking about my favorite homosexuals but the point is that Gojo had to lose to Sukuna to build his ideal world, because if he had won, it would only reinforce jujutsu society's reliance on him as "the strongest," which is the exact opposite of what Gojo wanted. and now that Gojo is dead and has happily reunited with Geto in the afterlife, it's up to the next generation of sorcerers to not make the same mistakes as their predecessors
Nope. This is a edgy and doomer mentality. Gojo deserved to live, he was a Young and healthy 29 years old with his entire life ahead of him Many people feel loneliess nowdays and saying that death is the only cure for it is Very imature Gege just killed Gojo for shocking value. He died for nothing and his death have no meaning. Since jujutsu Society is still the same with teenagers being slaves to the system. If gege was not a childshy author he would develop Gojo to work through his loneliness and identity crisis Hell he could even Lost his Powers. But diying and regreding to your teenager self is not a good advice for loneliness. And This idea that adults had to die and left the problems to teenagers to fix it is extremely stupid Anyway look at chapter 235 and see how happy Gojo was when he though he WON and would LIVE Also he said too: "i have love and dreams too"
Neat video. I'm still coping tbh, my glorious blue eyed king will be back. It aint gojover yet... I can see Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan being a good pick for a similar video.
The only thing that I feel was a MAJOR detail that was missed is the execution of the [SPOILER THING] you talked about later in the video.... ... ... ... ... ...It happened OFF. FUCKING. SCREEN. People weren't just delusional or grief-stricken, they were PISSED. I dropped all semblance of care I had for the series right then and there, thankfully so in retrospect. The last few chapters have been incessantly boring (shoutout to Takeba having the only positive presence since then) because it's all building up the series' other Mary Sue who.... has zero personality. It wouldn't matter if Mary Suekuna constantly had asspulls if he was entertaining as a personality, well written, charismatic, or any combination of the bunch but the major problem is... Suekuna has zero of these traits. The asspull wins he constantly throws out are just the icing on the shit cake, and being the reason why one of the BEST written characters is now gone is flat out unforgivable.
Gege should've kept kenjaku alive. Although I know sukuna in and out I still find him boring. He is like an animal or should I say natural disaster. I hate how gege made kenjaku give the keys for merger to Sukuna and killed him to make Sukuna more relevant. Sukuna is like a raid boss from a game which is not really a bad thing but this fight has been stretched out for far too long than required and too many unnecessary characters have made an appearance. The focus on yuji constantly being shifted annoys the fuck out of me. I understand the need for gojo to be eliminated from the story because y'know he was too strong. I also understand how you guys feel as well wanting gojo to be still alive but lackluster ness of the story cannot be simply fixed by just bringing gojo back to life.
Agreed. Don't get me wrong, when jjk is over I'll go back and read it,(it's far from the only story I have a love hate relationship, I am a Naruto fan after all.) but as it stands, I really couldn't get myself excited to read a new chapter every week even if I wanted to. It doesn't help that I was spolied on his death within a couple chapters of it happening and had to go back and read it for myself. I would've preferred he just didn't get unsealed or if the unsealing backfired somehow and that killed him. Either of those could've also served a great plot device and demoralization of the cast. I fully believe that it's not his death that's the problem, it was just handled poorly. The biggest reason the author felt the need to kill off gojo in the first place was because he was too hard to write around. That's also why he was sealed. Because with him in the picture, it felt like the story couldn't move forward.
@@kyradreamer4769gege didnt have to "write around" Gojo, Gojo was OBVIOUSLY gonna lose to sukuna later on. this is made obvious by the fact that gojo NEVER succeeds at his goals thru the story (loses to Toji, Rika dies, Geto turns evil, Geto gets to Yuta, Geto's body is left for Kenjaku to take, Jogo escapes, Mahito gets 6 sukuna fingers and 3 cursed wombs during Goodwill arc, Gojo gets sealed, Sukuna's vessel causes innocent deaths), so after all of that, the ONLY thing Gojo has is his ACTUAL GOAL-raising a generation that DOESNT rely on Gojo. If Gojo wins against Sukuna, then his actual goal DOESNT WORK, making his character pointless. Gojo dying was the ONLY way to conclude his arc, and it works perfectly with Sukuna as a character because Sukuna was always antagonised which caused him to grow evil and arrogant. Yuji is the only person who can defeat Sukuna because he faced what Sukuna faced, being shunned both by curses and JJK higherups, but he accepted his role instead of egotistically killing everything in his way- something only possible due to Gojo's influence. Gojo fans understand the series challenge: 99% fail 🫢😱😱
I loved this video. And there's a little something i would like to add, most straight men might not be into shipping 2 male characters, but the sheer manpower behind satosugu is incredible, as a matter of fact the ships and comics and *********** and ****** just for satosugu might be more than every other gojo ship, not just straight ones, ALL of the others. Shit is a MONOPOLY, depending on where you're looking you could be looking at a 20:1 ratio of satosugu vs everything else.
i was already sad gojo died i didn't expect to be sucker punched again with the aerith mention and her theme playing in the end this was such a good video it's going to take me weeks to emotionally recover from this
19:52 I just remember a conversation I had about that moment of Gojo in Shibuya. I was saying to a moot "This villains are stupid, they really think Gojo wouldn't be totally okay doing this? He's a psycho even if he's with the good guys, duh!" and they started to tell me "no way, he's a hero, he wouldn't!" 😂 Obviously I was write and they were surprised for some reason, asking me how I knew it. Hello? He has white hair and he's too damn pretty to not be insane, c'mon! Not a complain, I love him for who he is 💜

I've seen thousand why Gojo this why gojo that.. but literally nobody addresses this thing which changed me as a person where from a high anger management-Anxiety- uncontrollable panic attack on something impulsive just in the moment to the way i'm today with none of mental health issues nor depression & it is because of GOJO. Like whoever i've talked about nobody noticed that like How or why?? the very 1st thing he says after his "honored one" phase is "In order to keep infinity RCT all the time, I've to keep my mind Fresh all the time"
What I love about Gojo is how normal he actually is.
When I first saw the character I thought I would really dislike him. But he plays videogames, talks about freaking Dragon Ball with teenagers and is so chill despite being the strongest and a good guy, is what elevates his charisma to ridiculous heights
I fell for him after the pein drawing he made for nanami plus I love silly funny guys. Not to mention they made him extremely gorgeous but besides the point
When did he mention Dragon Ball
He loves digimon too
Um.. was there a specific reason why you thought you'd dislike him initially? Or something abt him that you disliked? Just curious as a writer.
kinda same... at first I wsn't much into him...but the more I watched the show, the more I loved him!
Gojo's like the rare case of a Mary Sue done right. Think that's the case because he isn't the MC. If he was the MC, I get the feeling a lot of people would have problems with that. But because he was introduced via other characters, he doesn't come across as cringe. Instead, since his kind is so rarely tackled because their authors fear writing a Mary Sue, that makes him intriguing. Like a rare species.
Gege: "but he's got a bad personality!"
Everyone: "his personality is the best part, Gege"
I wouldn’t call Gojo a Mary sue even though he’s powerful, he faces narrative and emotional challenges. His strength isolates him, making it difficult for him to connect with others on a personal level. He also has to navigate complex political and moral dilemmas within the jujutsu society.
@@imraystation from my understanding of what a Mary Sue is boiled down to its most basic components,
A "Mary Sue" is a character who for whatever reason bends the laws of the world around them by simply existing. These can be either negative or positive changes, as long as those changes are only happening because the Mary Sue exists. The Mary Sue can be as self aware of this as they want to be, they can be morally conflicted about it even, but that won't change that they are taking the narrative position of a Mary Sue. Other symptoms may include: everyone is obsessed with the Mary Sue for whatever reason, conversation between other characters always circles back to the Mary Sue in some way, those they side against are without question the antagonists (except in cases of redemption) and those they side with are without question the protagonists (except in cases of betrayal). The Mary Sue is also often very emotionally driven and self confident, rarely to the detriment of themself.
Yes, he has political, moral, and emotional issues. I would even say that is _because_ he is a Mary Sue, narratively speaking.
In no way am I saying this type of Mary Sue, one which takes all the tropes but excludes the vibes, is a bad one. I myself absolutely _love_ writing characters like this, after all: trying to get as close to a true Mary Sue without making it feel like one. So I am not actually insulting Gojo here by calling him one. Just pointing out an interesting pattern.
Then we get Yuta - The boring Mary sue
And Sukuna - The villain Mary Sue
@@lain5858 🤣 oh gosh. It seems this show is full of em.
12:25 "Made for shojo, doomed to shonen type shit" GIVE MY MANZZ HIS SHOJO SPIN OFF 😫😩
Yup😂
WITH THE POWER OF FANFICTION I SUMMON... no, jokes aside I really want to do that.
Gojo = a rare overpowered dude that understands his role and lives it like he should
I see on insta and other platforms people make original characters that are ALWAYS Special grades with no flaws 🤣
gojo is intriguing cause there are so many flaws in him and how often he has failed the ppl around him, his strength is his weakness in a sense, and it isolates him from others around him: only hero truly saw him as a person
My husband asked me why Gojo was my favorite character in anime, and I said something similar.
“Cuz not only is he arrogant and conceited af, but he’s got the power to actually match the arrogance. It’s a breath of fresh air from having previous arrogant characters that couldn’t walk the walk when they talked big. But it also adds to his character that he cares about people, and is capable of being something other than an arrogant prick.”
@@MrsHyde1018 Thats not called being arrogant. Thats being honest.
When gojo died. Lobotomy kaisen started. Thats how hard of an impact his death had on everyone. Anyone that hadnt watched or read jjk got exposed to all the nah id win and through the heaven and earth memes and picked up jjk themselves. All cuz of chapter 236. Our glorious blue eyed king is forever gone and no i dont count yutojo as gojo being back cuz obviously. Great video!

Lobotomy Kaisen has always existed, tf u mean?
@@andresterrazas855 not at the scale that it went to after chapter 236 🗿 lobotomy kaisen kicked into high gear after gojos death through the insane level of copium hopium and everything-ium you can think of. So maybe you misunderstood what i meant but there ya go.
Fr. The before and after was just sublime@@TheHonoredOnexDGx
There are still people in the world who don't know this. Pretty disrespectful of the king and his fans to spoil it thoughtlessly. As a manga reader, I am upset on their behalf.
Gojo Satoru is a walking cheat code, a glitch in the system that broke the ‘meta’ of the jujutsu world, and he has grown up with full knowledge of this reality.
He is him. There was no one else. And he can do what he wants.
It’s a huge and actually quite refreshing twist that he uses this power for net good, instead of becoming an international menace.
Gojo is one of the few self inserts in anime that isn’t totally annoying or off putting
@@mariasol1545tf you mean self insert?

@@viviwithav 😭
Bro has so many aspects to his appeal and its all topped off by the fact that he is a genuinely very well written character. He’s so good at everything its no wonder Gege hates him, if i knew someone like him I’d hate them too
Why.
I'd rather seek to learn from him.
The reason that Gojo appeals to me, especially as a queer person, is that he is DEEPLY relateable, despite being the most unrelatable character in anime ever considering his power.
If you think about it, almost everything that has gone wrong in the canon era has been Gojo's fault. Because of his sentimentality. He couldnt let Suguru get cremated, he needed to bury him properly. He couldnt let Yuta or Yuuji be executed.
He wanted Rika to have one last good day, tiring himself to the point that Toji would be able to kill him with the ease he did.
Sukuna could have continued to be restrained if his vessal had just been executed. Maybe Nanako and Mimiko would have had the opportunity to see their father figure properly resting.
Most of all, though, he lost someone he loves to radicalization. His best friend was isolated and radicalized and depressed and Gojo didn't notice until it was too late. Far, far too late.
i fail to see how being queer has anything to do with what u said haha. and u said he appeals to u cuz hes relatable but what part specifically? ig something ab the last sentence? but again i dont get y that especially relates to u being queer. not hating im just tryna see ur perspective
@@bigjawline9235 fr lol
We can’t blame everything on Gojo. Gojo didn’t turn Geto into a villain before his death. He was already slipping down that path.
Gojo wasn’t the reason Riko died and Tengen didn’t get a new body. He pushed himself to the limit trying to make sure she was safe till the end. Toji just outplayed him and did what he does best.
Gojo wasn’t the catalyst for Yuta creating Rika. If anything, him stopping Yuta’s execution was a net positive in gaining another special grade sorcerer ally.
Gojo wasn’t the catalyst for Yuji becoming Sukuna’s vessel. It’s not even his fault Yuji died. He was sent away on a mission and the higher ups sent Yuji to that mission with the sole purpose of getting him killed.
The only thing we could really blame him for is Kenjaku getting a hold of Geto’s body.
Gojo’s whole existence was taken into account by Kenjaku since he’s already been stopped twice by 2 other six eyes users. I think most people would fail when they’ve been plotted against for over 1000 years before they were even born.
@@The5MinuteGamer ong
Just commenting before finishing the video here. Gojo is so beloved because he's just well written. It's quite simple. He isn't lacking in any categories. He's appealing to both the male and female demographic.
Other popular characters usually have at least one or two major things missing from their character writing. If one character is attractive, they might have a boring personality. If one character is super powerful they might not be as conventionally attractive. You can switch all these traits around constantly but the point is that most characters lack at least one aspect in their writing. Gege did an insanely good job writing Gojo.
Not only is he so outrageously attractive that even straight men begin to swerve, he's objectively pretty. Like he has feminine traits while not lacking in masculinity. His eyes are also a huge part as well. Eyes are extremely important in character design. It's where you look when you have a conversation with someone. It's quite small, but it's the most prominent part of everybody's body. Gojo has those shining pretty boy eyes. He has a toned body while not being too beefy, but his muscles can shine through with the right clothing.
He has a good backstory. His tragic tale with Geto is incredible. I see an insane amount of shipping in the JJK community mostly around Gojo and Geto.
Next we have his personality. He's carefree and kind of a dick. This makes him flawed, but it's not a flaw that drives people away. Instead, this part of his character might actually be one of the most loved parts of his character. He's not a complete asshole either and loves his students dearly. He stands up to social norms and doesn't care about the social hierarchy. He lets his students talk to him casually and he talks casually to his superiors. He simply doesn't care for formalities much either.
He has character development as well. In his highschool days, he was shown to not care for the weak and had no sense of responsibility. When Geto left, he grew the desire to nurture the next generation as a teacher. He is still sometimes irresponsible, but that shows that his character wasn't outright completely revamped. He simply matured.
He also has the insane character introduction as well. Bro came in and beat the shit out of Sukuna during his first appearance. Then he had such an playful student-teacher dynamic with Yuji. It's hard not to love him.
Simply put, the reason people love him is because he's just really well written and really well drawn. It's not actually that hard to understand. You write good characters and people will like them.
You say that as if good writing is a very easy thing to do, especially when you haven't really explained what you mean by "good writing"
everyone ..except Gege 😂
Facts
True, probably gege is on their 2,432,122 glazing session
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but it kinda confuses me that people legitimately think Gege hates Gojo, he never said that, he said he didn't like having to write around his strength since it was literally impossible to build tension while he was around, especially early in the story. I don't get how people heard that and thought Gege had an actual hatred for the fictional character he created

Yes, Bleach also have a lot difference from standard shonen tropes/style! I noticed that even as a teen. Nowadays i think it's more common and it's great. Also Ichigo very handsome and stylish looking young man😊 Kubo created beautiful characters with cool fashion style for any taste.
maybe the real satoru gojo is the friends we made along the way
So you don't have to be a Gojo fan to know that fight was odd. To even suggest Sakuna held back makes no sense as Gojo damaged him enough that he could not use his domain expansion. It was close and I would argue he died for plot than lack of strength. But hey I am unhealthily obsessed with this man, but even Sakuna fans weren't crazy with how the fight was handled.
Sukuna "held back" because he knew that if he gave his all to defeat gojo he would be easy picking for his next opponents
That doesn't mean Sukuna took Gojo lightly
@@protoprime4213your statement is contradictory. ‘He knew that if he gave his whole’… since when do you choose to give your whole or not against someone who’s close to your own potential? The thing is that there is no world in which sukuna can beat gojo and be barely alive. Either he wins rather easily with little damage, takes some heavy damage but is still at 40% alright or just loses. Since gojo can virtually not get tired since he starts hitting black flash left and right as soon we he shows any sign of danger, there is only so much damage sukuna can take before he is in a state in which no matter what he does, gojo will win. Because sukuna’s cursed energy will only keep dropping while gojo’s doesn’t. The only way he could have killed gojo is through domain clash, or bypass infinity AND catching gojo off guard somehow. Besides i doubt sukuna was ever worried about the small fish since compared to gojo, they’re really weak.
@@DKing-du6xr What kind of comment is this? Sukuna won for many reasons and gojo lost . deal with it.
It's not contradictory. You can take your opponent seriously whilst not showing your whole arsenal, especially when 90 percent of said arsenal is useless against the limitless
Sukuna was not using all his cursed techniques, so he was "holding back", but not in the sense that he was purposefully being weaker. The Heian Form and other techniques couldn't breach infinity, so there was no use for them, and his plan just needed Mahoraga and his cleave.
Would it make sense to use everything in your arsenal, even if it didn't work against the opponent you're fighting, and allow the sorcerers (who were going to jump him in waves right after Sukuna finished his battle) on the sidelines to simultaneously learn all your techniques and take advantage of them? Obviously not. This is why Sukuna was "holding back." It was only logical.
Sukuna was also testing ways he could bypass infinity with his own knowledge, while also testing Gojo. He already had the plan of using Mahoroga just in case if Gojo proved to be strong, which he did. Sukuna used DA and DE on gojo to see if he would die from those, and because he didn't, he'd then go back to using the plan he had already made, which was using Mahoraga to create a Cleave specifically made to ignore infinity. So sukuna protects mahoraga, hides in the shadows, lets the shikigamis fight for him as he charges up, and analyzes the information Mahoraga brings to him. After Gojo basically blows everyone up, Sukuna gets desperate since he thinks he will die before figuring out how to bypass infinity, but fortunately he gets it right on time, because Mahoraga had already figured out infinity by then, so his desperation was pretty short and went away after he kills gojo using Cleave, the information on how to bypass Infinity brought by Mahoraga, and the energy he had saved by hiding the whole second round of the fight and avoiding Gojo's attacks.
Sukuna is centuries old (~1000 yrs old) and his mastery, understanding, and knowledge of numerous techniques is better than anyone else that it genuinely does play a huge role in his fights. Besides, Gojo is in his 20s, and I can't imagine he has anywhere near the amount of knowledge on jujutsu sorcery than Sukuna with his centuries of experience.
Gojo definitely has better battle iq with how much he improvised during the fight, but Sukuna's experience, mastery of his arsenal's technique, and usage of both shikigamis and mahoroga gave him the upper hand.
thats gojos opinion of the fight not the facts
Bear in mind that its the anime that pushed Gojo (and all JJK characters) to lust boy status due to the anime's more conventional art design. Gege's rougher manga art style didn't elicit this same reaction until the anime smoothened the edges.
this just made me fall in love with gojo all over again omg. this is my new favorite gojo analysis you did so well thank you 🥰

The only reason he wasn't a villain is pure pettiness for the way he was raised. He wanted to beat the higher ups at their own game, and he knew if he just killed them all (which he could) no one would follow him, and the higher ups would be replaced by people who wouldn't change anything.

rip our glorious blue eyed king 😮💨🙏
Gpjo works because hes a mary sue that doesnt win. He has it all, and yet he STILL loses at every turn.
He failed to stop toji
He failed to save riko
He failed to stop geto from turning evil
He failed to prevent jogo from escaping
He failed to stop hanami from escaping
He failed to protext his students. If sukuna hadnt made a deal, yuji wouldve died.
He failed to avoid the prison realm.
Then when he got put, he failed to defeat sukuna.
Nearly every problem that exists in the story is a direct result of his failing to do what he wants to do. His domain even reflects this, being a void that gives you everything yet leaves you unable to do anything with what you're given.
This! He has godlike powers yet he’s still human at the end of the day. For example he defeats the curses in the train station, but he ends up sealed because of his emotional reaction to fake Geto.
finally someone gets it. Gojo's victory against sukuna isnt from his inherited power, its from his ONLY successful idea- raising strong students. if Gojo wins, the students were useless all along, and his FINAL GOAL would have been a failure. him dying was his only actual accomplishment because its the only time his goals can come to fruition

What are you talking about?
Majority MCs in shonen are weak teenagers who suddenly become strong.
Its never the op characte
And yuji still have the asspull MC card
This is a lil out of context but as someone who struggles with suicide a lot I always questioned why people care so much about my life and whether I’m alive or not, and it made me realize I never lost someone close to me so I never knew what it was like. Idk how but someone a fictional character helped me be able to understand that. And not just one, it was multiple. Megumi, Nobara, choso, and gojo. It makes me realize there’s so much time I wish they had living so that I could see them shine more. It kinda goes for the same with my ex best friend. I still miss them so much.(they ain’t dead tho dw)
People should be allowed to take fiction seriously, especially if they feel like they genuinely gained knowledge or felt emotion towards it. I am rooting for you!
Dude i had started watching jjk cause i thought Gojo looked hot. By the end of it: i not only thought he was hot. I thought his powers were so cool and they're the only ones i really understand out of all of jjks abilities 😭
Bahaha u have good taste then. My bf got me watching jjk and I was into the show from the first episode. Didn’t think much of gojo until the pein drawing he gave to nanami 😂 his blind fold and spikey hair makes him so hot tho doesn’t it remind u of s&m
"Stand proud Gojo, you are loved"
What I love about his character is despite being raised and treated like a weapon his whole life, when it came to his students and his friends he never saw them like that, riko was the star plasma vessel and seen as just something for Tengen to merge with, gojo was adamant that she gets to have a choice on what she does with her own life, when she got killed he was determined that no other kid was ever put through that because of the Jujutsu world, that’s why he stopped Yuji and yuta from being executed because he believes that no kids should have their youth taken away from them like he was and what happened to his friend riko. He also genuinely believes in his students being able to surpass him one day, and genuinely cares for them. It’s a shame the world saw him as just a weapon and not a person. Despite being the strongest he still couldn’t save the people most important to him, riko, geto, nanami, yaga-sensei. Just goes to show that being the strongest takes a toll on you
“Gojo it’s screaming your name in Morse code” is WILD

Gojo is the best character in the entire jjk series (he’s my princess) (my husband) (help me) Gojo is arguably one of the best written characters, though. Killing him off was unnecessary. :(
8:48 my happy marriage mention
Gojo is actually so gorgeous and beautiful. Not only is he the strongest but his beauty is unattainable
He’s the most beautiful man in anime 😍 he looks like a super model
killing him off was absolutely necessary, it was the whole point of his character. his arc relies on the fact that he is NEVER successful at reaching his goals, despite being the strongest. In the story he:
fails to save the star plasma vessel
fails to save Geto
fails to stop Geto from getting Yuta
fails at goodwill, because Mahito gets sukuna fingers and cursed objects from JJT
fails in Shibuya by getting sealed
fails in his fight against Sukuna
The ONLY thing he's ever sucessful at is his ONLY real goal: raising a generation of sorcerers that DONT rely on him. For this, it has to be the sorcerers killing sukuna, and gojo has to DIE to prove his ONLY REAL GOAL was successful. If gojo comes back/if he won against sukuna, this would diminish his arc heavily. from the first chapter, he HAD to die
@@quo9138 Yeah I get that he basically failed throughout his life, and that his goal was raising another generation of sorcerers, but the main thing I don’t like about his death is HOW it happened.
-Off-screen
-Out-of-character thoughts in the airport scene. Seriously? All he cared about was his and Fraudkuna’s strength and power? Not his students? Idk I might have felt at least a little better if he got a proper send off… you made a lot of good points, but I also worry about Megumi when they inevitably beat Sukuna and Megumi either dies that way or, if Gojo stays dead, how disgusted and horrified he’d be with himself after watching Sukuna kill Gojo with his body. I don’t think Gojo’s purpose as a character was to just die, though.
@@solarssolstice no his purpose wasn't to die, but the only way to end his character was for him to die/lose. if he stayed alive or came back, everyone who died after him would have died in vain since gojo would've come back and beaten a much weaker sukuna. also, the airport scene makes sense because its the only time Gojo got to fight all out, as Sukuna cured his loneliness and released him of his 'curse' (the responsibility of being a monolith of humanity). gojo and sukuna both couldn't have killed each other without the assistance of others (megumi for sukuna, and the students for gojo), but the way they went about gathering other people's strengths is whats different and ultimately why gojo will die a winner whereas sukuna will die losing, because Gojo both got cured of his curse and also got sukuna killed, whereas sukuna's downfall will be his selfish attitude and the most meaningful thing in his life will have been the fight with Gojo, as he says he'll "never forget him"

I would say that it’s not just straight women who like m/m ships - a large quantity of fandom works are made by people of the Lgbtq+ community- myself included. And often they can become a safer place for people who are discovering themselves. I grew up in a deeply religious household and it was through fandom and m/m relationships in those fandoms that I discovered it was ok to like the same gender and that I didn’t need to suppress myself.
Id love to see a maki zen'in analysis i love your style video making and this is the best gojo analysis ive seen yet
What an awesome analysis video! This is a 200 percent Hollow Purple quality kind of video 🔥
certified case of "born to shojou genre, forced to shonen" chad. Can you imagine, a shojou manga with gojo as the ultimate male lead to chase after? lmao
I have to pause this absolutely spectacular video so far, but: have you just denied Aizawa the ‘eye candy status’? He is our very much overworked, over-caring and underslept dad(dy) eye-candy! ❤
Thanks for listing out your OST !!! You're the real one !!!
21:48 Just one note: at least speaking in terms of ao3, if you look into the ao3 demographic surveys, you'll that is a blatant majority of queer people! I think it's important when we talk about yaoi ships, to not forget that at least in occident a huge part of the fandom is queer!
and that shipping, especially non-reader insert ones like m/m usually, are NOT inherently connected with wanting to take one of the guys' places??? Only truly weird take in this video imo... like,, nah actually, sometimes people just like to play with fictional characters like they did with dolls as kids. Don't mean you want to be either of them lol
waited a month to check this out since it popped up on my feed and i'm not disappointed. you rocked the show girlie, keep it up! ❤
On first watch Gojo reminded me of Urahara from bleach. But Urahara was more of a hermit mad scientist while gojo loved to flex any chance he got 😂 Their cheeky sense of humor is about the same tho.
"Source: no its for your own good"
I fucking died in my work breakroom. As someone who was once there i stand by the decision but DAMN that killed me
i've said this before and i'll say it again, gojo is a sans undertale
i have never watched jjk, never read a chapter of it, i knew and know nothing beyond I have been seeing this pretty man on my time line on occasion... so...
WTF DO YOU MEAN HE'S A TEACHER???
Gojo haters really can't read any subtext.
maybe they just don’t care for the character it’s not that serious
@@ligmanuts4247 Serious enough for some people to be hating
@@Sienisota Idk i doubt it’s actually serious hate like your saying
@Sienisota I just put it down to jealousy. Jealous of a popular character, there are those that don't like popular characters in general for some dumb reason which I think it's pretty sad. Then there are those that are jealous their favorites are not receiving the same attention which I also think is pretty sad. They can't just let us enjoy things.
My ex used to say if she could put a bag over my head with Gojo’s face on it and call out his name during sex she would’ve. So I feel like I have SOME valid reason to hate him lol
Gojo as a division captain in Bleach would've been weirdly overpowered.
I feel so exposed 🤣 good job elaborating in copious details why we love Gojo, love this ❤
10:24 "professor with a PhD in jumping" 😂🤣 ok I honestly wand that title so bad now
This may seem like a small thing but I'm grateful you even mentioned "the NB Clan" as an afterthought. I'm not used to having my existence acknowledged. Lol. Enbies love Gojo too
I will forever wish disscontempt on Gege for what he did
at first i didn't even watch JJK enough to remember Gojo's appearance, then for some reason I had a dream about him being my bf and began to obsess over him since then
I love my glorious king
21:12 “Here’s the deed to my ass” is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard a woman say 😂
The white stuff in the domain is the amount of… “milk” that came out when people saw that scene.
love how this video touched on yaoi and fandom marketing
12:41 ITSUOMI-SAAAAANN from A Sign of Affection is so Gojo coded!! 😻 With a lip-filler.. GODDAMN luscious!!! 🛐💘
He's simply the best
Ain’t that the truth
Watching this weeks after my cousin started having a genuine sexuality crisis because of Gojo after i introduced him to jjk is such an experience
The extreme description of gojos beauty took me out
This put into words the reason why my favourite characters are people I want to become or look up to
And my female friends' favourite characters are the ones they want to meet and have a good time with (in a non sexual way..... at least that's what they tell me)
But we both also have the characters we just want to protect and see happy because they deserve it.
I don't understand anything but gojo should've won against sukuna 🔥
@SK-SK-07
Now the story is boring
@SK-SK-07
Thanks.
Sukuna should had died with Gojo and let Kenjaku live to be the main villain
@SK-SK-07Like it’s not boring now with everyone taking their turn against Sukuna only to get packed
Lol gojo glazer
@@anomitas atleast my goat doesn't throw up and eat that sht back
This is a very well done video, I am straight up flabbergasted at the lack of views???
I had simply opened a random video to listen to as I draw, but every time I even so much as glanced at the screen, I would see the most well editted rubbish in the world??? Your script is hilarious where it counts, just enough to make it noticable that you are truly one of us, and not someone who researched it for the sake of a video. It personalizes you and I am living for it.
The analysis by itself is rather astute, and does make one realise just the sheer frankenstein's monster of tropes Gojo is, and that Gege is as much a genius as the devil.
I am surprised that you are capable of making such levels of videos with the very little amount of subs, likes, and views you have, and you absoloutely deserve more! >:0
Anyway, take my sub, my like, recommendation to my fellow down-bad friends, and a future repeat-viewer! Keep it up and have a good day!
Gojo is sounding a lot similar to Vash... The Stampede from Trigun.
Yes. They have the same personality type
gojo si 50% of the plot in jjk. think about it, he is why half of the heaviest hitters in the show are around, why everyone gets strong, why our mc and supporting cast are able to get stronger, and he is the powerhouse of the good side. he also encapsulates all of the themes of the story. ego, being cursed and the meaning behind those curses and he is the leader of the revolution against jujutsu society. hes the goat in every aspect. without gojo jjk is not even half as functional as a story
This is a grief video for sure... Coping at your own way, honouring our guy...
First time at your channel and great video, subscribed.
30 mins waxing poetry about gojo
You know what, i would be pissed too if someone tried to make me believe that one of the most powerful hero not only wasn't able to eliminate the other most powerful villain, but was also killed off by said villain and then some newbie will be able to do what the most powerful coukdn't... like, SERIOUSLY???😤😤😤😤😤
And this happens a lot in this kind of genre....🙄🙄🙄
me when i have to understand the narrative but im a Gojo fan:
6:21 LETS GO BROWNS!!!!!! 🧡🖤 was not expecting that in a Gojo video, I am tripping!!
8:46 - As an enby, this is accurate.
Also I like doing both - creating and curating.
And levitating
Some fans are weird but i love the serie so much.
So glad I found your channel
As an enby, I get to enjoy both wanting to be with Gojo and wanting to be Gojo. Best of both worlds
You should definitely do Guts character design, all of his armor, from the younger scrappier teen guts, to band of the hawk where his armor although slightly scrapped together denotes leadership, to his black swordsman armor which represents his declining and darkening mental state, to the berserker armor inactivated that he wears casually, it shows he’s become closer to that world of darkness, yet without the helmet always on it shows him keeping his humanity. And then well activated berserker armor which is..yeah. And then the change in his face and body, his resting somber look now compared to his angry and even sinister looks from earlier chapters etc
8:46 we doing the gojo levitating 😭
GIRL PREACHHHHHHHHHH I WAS KACKLING AS YOU CALLED ME OUT FOR 35 MINUTES STRAIGHT LMAOOOOOO
i'm blatantly stealing this from another video essay i watched the other day, but one thing some people don't seem to realize about gojo's death is that he had to die- or otherwise no longer be present in jujutsu society in the way he is throughout jjk- to achieve his goals and be freed from the shackles of being "the strongest." the reason he became a teacher was to create a new generation of sorcerers who could become his equals and stand with him, not below him like everyone else. all in the hope that someday he wouldn't have to shoulder the burden of basically holding jujutsu society in stability alone. at his core, gojo is a sad lonely twink who lost the only person that ever really came close to matching or understanding him, with whom he use to share the title of "the strongest." hell, he had to kill that person himself, that of course being geto. and even then, after riko was killed and gojo got even stronger while geto fell into depression, the gap between them grew even further and then geto abandoned him to become a mass murderer, leaving gojo all alone at the top as a bottom (we all know it's true don't argue with me).
anyway i got very off topic talking about my favorite homosexuals but the point is that Gojo had to lose to Sukuna to build his ideal world, because if he had won, it would only reinforce jujutsu society's reliance on him as "the strongest," which is the exact opposite of what Gojo wanted. and now that Gojo is dead and has happily reunited with Geto in the afterlife, it's up to the next generation of sorcerers to not make the same mistakes as their predecessors
Nope. This is a edgy and doomer mentality.
Gojo deserved to live, he was a Young and healthy 29 years old with his entire life ahead of him
Many people feel loneliess nowdays and saying that death is the only cure for it is Very imature
Gege just killed Gojo for shocking value.
He died for nothing and his death have no meaning.
Since jujutsu Society is still the same with teenagers being slaves to the system.
If gege was not a childshy author he would develop Gojo to work through his loneliness and identity crisis
Hell he could even Lost his Powers.
But diying and regreding to your teenager self is not a good advice for loneliness.
And This idea that adults had to die and left the problems to teenagers to fix it is extremely stupid
Anyway look at chapter 235 and see how happy Gojo was when he though he WON and would LIVE
Also he said too: "i have love and dreams too"
Loved the video, thanks!
Neat video.
I'm still coping tbh, my glorious blue eyed king will be back. It aint gojover yet...
I can see Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan being a good pick for a similar video.
I think the track list in the desc. is missing a few songs, like the FFX ones near the end
Imma be real with you G, I got lazy and forgot lol
Thank you so much for the solid spoiler warning! You're the best!~
The only thing that I feel was a MAJOR detail that was missed is the execution of the [SPOILER THING] you talked about later in the video....
...
...
...
...
...It happened OFF. FUCKING. SCREEN.
People weren't just delusional or grief-stricken, they were PISSED. I dropped all semblance of care I had for the series right then and there, thankfully so in retrospect.
The last few chapters have been incessantly boring (shoutout to Takeba having the only positive presence since then) because it's all building up the series' other Mary Sue who.... has zero personality.
It wouldn't matter if Mary Suekuna constantly had asspulls if he was entertaining as a personality, well written, charismatic, or any combination of the bunch but the major problem is... Suekuna has zero of these traits. The asspull wins he constantly throws out are just the icing on the shit cake, and being the reason why one of the BEST written characters is now gone is flat out unforgivable.
Gege should've kept kenjaku alive. Although I know sukuna in and out I still find him boring. He is like an animal or should I say natural disaster. I hate how gege made kenjaku give the keys for merger to Sukuna and killed him to make Sukuna more relevant. Sukuna is like a raid boss from a game which is not really a bad thing but this fight has been stretched out for far too long than required and too many unnecessary characters have made an appearance. The focus on yuji constantly being shifted annoys the fuck out of me. I understand the need for gojo to be eliminated from the story because y'know he was too strong. I also understand how you guys feel as well wanting gojo to be still alive but lackluster ness of the story cannot be simply fixed by just bringing gojo back to life.
ngl i think a lot of sukuna's characterization is lost in the translation bc most of it is in his dialogues and form(?) of speech 😭
Agreed. Don't get me wrong, when jjk is over I'll go back and read it,(it's far from the only story I have a love hate relationship, I am a Naruto fan after all.) but as it stands, I really couldn't get myself excited to read a new chapter every week even if I wanted to. It doesn't help that I was spolied on his death within a couple chapters of it happening and had to go back and read it for myself. I would've preferred he just didn't get unsealed or if the unsealing backfired somehow and that killed him. Either of those could've also served a great plot device and demoralization of the cast. I fully believe that it's not his death that's the problem, it was just handled poorly. The biggest reason the author felt the need to kill off gojo in the first place was because he was too hard to write around. That's also why he was sealed. Because with him in the picture, it felt like the story couldn't move forward.
@@kyradreamer4769gege didnt have to "write around" Gojo, Gojo was OBVIOUSLY gonna lose to sukuna later on. this is made obvious by the fact that gojo NEVER succeeds at his goals thru the story (loses to Toji, Rika dies, Geto turns evil, Geto gets to Yuta, Geto's body is left for Kenjaku to take, Jogo escapes, Mahito gets 6 sukuna fingers and 3 cursed wombs during Goodwill arc, Gojo gets sealed, Sukuna's vessel causes innocent deaths), so after all of that, the ONLY thing Gojo has is his ACTUAL GOAL-raising a generation that DOESNT rely on Gojo. If Gojo wins against Sukuna, then his actual goal DOESNT WORK, making his character pointless. Gojo dying was the ONLY way to conclude his arc, and it works perfectly with Sukuna as a character because Sukuna was always antagonised which caused him to grow evil and arrogant. Yuji is the only person who can defeat Sukuna because he faced what Sukuna faced, being shunned both by curses and JJK higherups, but he accepted his role instead of egotistically killing everything in his way- something only possible due to Gojo's influence. Gojo fans understand the series challenge: 99% fail 🫢😱😱
I loved this video. And there's a little something i would like to add, most straight men might not be into shipping 2 male characters, but the sheer manpower behind satosugu is incredible, as a matter of fact the ships and comics and *********** and ****** just for satosugu might be more than every other gojo ship, not just straight ones, ALL of the others.
Shit is a MONOPOLY, depending on where you're looking you could be looking at a 20:1 ratio of satosugu vs everything else.
Reading this made me laugh internally cause, somehow, the most popular Gojo ship in Japan is gojo x yuji lmao
And I can’t wait for s2 of my happy marriage 9:30
i was already sad gojo died i didn't expect to be sucker punched again with the aerith mention and her theme playing in the end this was such a good video it's going to take me weeks to emotionally recover from this
Finding out Dojo was killed devastated me, and I literally just discovered him....
19:52 I just remember a conversation I had about that moment of Gojo in Shibuya. I was saying to a moot "This villains are stupid, they really think Gojo wouldn't be totally okay doing this? He's a psycho even if he's with the good guys, duh!" and they started to tell me "no way, he's a hero, he wouldn't!" 😂
Obviously I was write and they were surprised for some reason, asking me how I knew it. Hello? He has white hair and he's too damn pretty to not be insane, c'mon! Not a complain, I love him for who he is 💜
