Nobody Understands Kashimo

- “Kashimo is a completely wasted character”. Yes, this is one of the most popular takes within the Jujutsu Kaisen community but I’m gonna be honest, it’s one of the worst. However, I think people just miss the point when it comes to his character, his purpose, and lesson to the audience. I’ve never really see anybody bring up really any analysis on Kashimo’s character, or anything like that; so I figured I’d be the one to make a video on it. In this video, I’ll be completely breaking down Kashimo’s final confrontation with Sukuna and performing analysis on both his character and what I take from this final battle of his, and with that; let’s get into it.

I was the best.
Throughout COD Zombies, I alone was the honoured one (in my family)
I survived many rounds, slain hundreds of thousands of zombies to become the best.
Before I ascended to this point, when I was new to zombies, I found peace with competing with my fellow family members, where we all were relative to each other in terms of skill.
But, as I studied on how to survive more rounds, and improve my technique, I far eclipsed everyone I knew in skill.
There was this isolation I felt whenever I achieved a more miraculous feat, to the point where I felt none (again, in my family) could understand my plight.
This feeling changed through observation of my progress and diligence throughout the years, and acknowledging how much I was able to dedicate myself to my craft. Slowly, but surely, I began to enjoy the thrill of challenging myself in various ways and giving hints to others similar to me.
My point is,
Stand proud, you did good.
Regardless of whether you didn’t get that thing that you really wanted or if you got rejected by that person when you asked them out,
Appreciate the lessons you learned from it and carry them with you every step of the way.
I wrote more than I thought sorry
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you genuinely cooked
👁️
We getting out of college level English with this one
🔥🔥✍️✍️
Give Kashimo his flowers man...after seeing gojo get clapped, he instantly jumps down to fight the person who deleted Gojo. He never ran away, he ran toward the smoke. One of my favorite JJK Characters. Even miguel had to be convinced to fight Sukuna
Damn yall making me like kashimo more again😭
@@Windycity_353shouldnt have switched up ina first place man
@@glogangglory I got caught up in my own expectations not being met as well as, the whole fandom switching on kashimo. Glad I have reformed from being one of those people who cant about him without clowning him all the time.
@@Windycity_353Yeah a lot of yap but the most easy way to put it for most people is that sukuna refers to gojo and kashimo as the strongest and went all out on both of them as we saw, however when he fights the students hes selfish. He doesnt try his hardest and he just fights for his fun and curing boredom he doesnt respect them and just toys with all of them even with strong opponents like yuta. It shows the difference he shows towards kashimo and gojo no matter if yuta is stronger he treats kashimo as one of the strongest.
@@acid2219 without a doubt I was speaking to a friend whos a major yuta fan about. How sukuna was more serious against kashimo more so than yuta.
Kashimo wasn't stronger because he didn't need to be stronger. His ceiling in this era would have been super high.
Imagine an RCT kashimo with a lightning domain that lets him strike lightning from anywhere, maybe even move as full lightning without dying.
Kinda suck he never enhanced his technique or even try to look into his true CT @@no3ironman11100
@@no3ironman11100 Could probably low diff 15F Sukuna before he pulls off a domain clash. Not so sure about 20F.
@@myusername3689I definitely think he kills 15f sukuna which is why they didn't let him fight him for a month.
There is absouluty no way Kashimo kills 15 finger Sukuna let alone low diffs.
People hate on kashimo for no reason and I feel like most people don’t understand his character,
he never thought he was going to beat sukuna, with how he was looking during the gojo vs sukuna fight and telling yuta nit to go cause this fight means a lot to gojo.I believe kashimo was smiling while watching cause he knew that sukuna would be able to convey what kashimo was looking for.
Also people don’t understand sukuna saying he’s going to “show love” to kashimo was sukuna saying he’s going to go all out and do to kashimo what kashimo did to his opponents and kashimo then realizing that he did show other people love with him fighting them to the death it’s why kashimo was able to die with a smile on his face just like gojo.
kashimo and gojo were there for them selves unlike the rest of the students who wanted to help save megumi, obviously gojo was trying to do that as well but it wasn’t his sole purpose to fight sukuna
🫵🏻💯👑
Thats why sukuna refers to kashimo alongside gojo as the strongest despite him fighting yuta afterwards as he tried his hardest in respect to show kashimo what he wanted compared to when he fights yuta maki and the students you can tell hes just having fun for himself and being selfish since hes bored
@@acid2219 exactly it’s obvious with him not throwing out as many attacks plus his facial expression that he’s not taking the students seriously
To be fair there were multiple instances of him getting irritated because people kept expecting him to lose. So I think he did believe he could win but because that's his mentality, he doesn't like "thinking like a loser".
@@FrostySnowling That was before seeing Sukuna
Kashimos story was perfect I just wish we got more from his fight with sukuna, his one time CT should’ve been much longer of a fight
Yea I agree , hopefully in the anime .
I believe it was fair of a fight. Sukuna would of fought him longer but he was teaching him a lesson by killing him instantly in that moment. I think the fight would of been much better with Sukuna realizing he would have to stall till Kashimos technique ends.
@@ther1ght159also the fact sukuna prob didn't wanna tank another lightning charge (or he prob couldn't tank another one esp to his head)
Sukuna is known to play with his opponents but he went straight for the finish for kashimo which means the utmost respect to kashimo haha
Not going all out with Kashimo would have killed Sukuna. Kashimo’s lightning attacks are really powerful; Sukuna knew he shouldn’t allow himself get hit by them. He may have still won a drawn-out fight, but long fights against Gojo and then Kashimo, two heavy-hitters, would have left Sukuna so depleted that Yuta might have killed him easily.
Kash money 💰 Seriously the Kashimo disrespect is so stupid. I really think it’s a result of character cult followings
powerscaling cooked this community
@@1hundred1in my opinion Kashimo want to die like samurai who die in battle not age gojo want this too both of them share same pain from loneliness of being strongest and sukuna is only one who can give what they want (I want to know who can kill sukuna and made him feel peace like gojo and Kashimo)
Go/jo riders and their agenda dont understand kashimo and why go and jo had to be cut in half
@@Owen-sx4jjyou really think you said something meaningfull
He look cute tho
lightning only flashes for a moment
🥲
Kashimo should have gotten more screen time in the time skip between Gojo's release from the prison realm and Shinjuku to interact with members of the cast. I could see him having some fun banter with Gojo and Itadori since he used to be Sukuna's vessel.
Yea I wanted to see that , such a waste . Maybe the anime will do a better job , maybe we can also get a better grip on his power too .
Kashimo I one of my favorite jjk characters he was wasted I think but he did good in general and served his purpose
I mean if we’re being real both Him and Gojo were used to push Sukuna up the hierarchy to show that Sukuna is a real and actual threat.
@@morbidzombiiisn’t that basically everytime sukuna appeared on screen?
Not a lot of people get this about the Kashimo and Gojo fights and really JJK as a whole. While the fights do involve the strength of the characters, you need to take a closer look to see that strength isn’t the main focus of any fight in this series. Its a constant clash of ideals and philosophies and thats why even if Kashimo lost in two chapters, he’s made a significant impact on the series and has definitely served his purpose.
Your analysis is really interesting especially considering both Gojo and Kashmir’s techniques. Both Gojo and Kashimo in their respective eras are the embodiment of modernism. Kashimo, however, was so extremely modern (I don’t think electricity was even discovered) he quite literally didn’t fit in his era and had more of a place in today’s age.
Honestly Kashimo was the same as Gojo.
Both of them were so much isolated because of the strength which puts them into the realm of God amongst men. They both wanted someone to tell/teach them that why do they have to suffer....why does this strength brings the loneliness or They just wanted an answer if their thoughts about this were correct or not.
Gojo who wanted to go all out and fight the strongest... actually fought the strongest and was happy
On the other hand Kashimo was the yap version of Gojo, He knew there was no way that he would beat him but still just like gojo he went ahead and asked the questions which kept him isolated for 400 years (Yup a Cursed object can feel the time pass).
For me kashimo is a great character, My favourite line from the manga was delivered by him "Funeral for the living" also His fight with Hakari is my top 3 fights (manga)
This exchange in the "afterlife" also shines a interesting light on Sukuna, it doesn't change the actual result of his moral stances, but it gives credence to some of his desires in life. Even at the top, the man finds pleasure in facing opponents with interesting, diverse and skillful applications of jujutsu sorcery, which directly ties to a sorcerer's self expression and forward thinking. He won't go down easy on anyone, but will "throw a bone" whenever he sees someone that need a push (as violent as that might entail) to become greater than they already are, even though all of his actions have self centered reasons.
There is a lot to unpack from Kashimo as well, the death imposing limitation of his CT brought forth a genius-like mastery of his peculiar, electrical based cursed energy. But in the meantime it symbolically reveals that this character always had a clear intention to give his life away in combat to stop what he defines as loneliness. It's a very tragic perspective, and it's just one reading/understanding among many, but there's definitively a lot that can be derived from this battle and from the discourse these two characters share at the end.
Kashimo is my favorite character in jjk from his design to ability being a 1 and done his want to fight the strongest because hes never been satisfied in his time is all poetic to me
If Kashimo was born into this modern era he certainly would’ve had a domain
My idea for a mythic beast Amber domain was turning the activation of the technique itself into a functional sure hit
Upon the deployment of his domain Kashimo’s opponent would be forced into using his own technique guaranteeing their death
I would have loved to see him be so fast, that his physical and electricity attacks to be just as fast as a sure hit effect from a DE.
kashimo so cool and relatable
the strongest but willing to be a student to life
Kashimo also shows people only look at the strongest for their strength instead of looking at the actual person
This was one of the best videos, and disappointed because a lot of people in the comments thinking it’s about power scaling. I love the parrlels between kashimo and gojo, and kashimo empathy is truly developed. I think it’s very powerful that kashimo sees sukuna as a divine being, but disagrees with his hedonistic life style and deems it pointless. I feel a lot of the stuff sukuna does is seen as cool, but the narrative is saying the opposite. Yuji vs sukuna is more of an ideology battle than a physical one. Each person who has the title of the strongest conducts themselves in such a different way, and I wonder how kashimo would be if he had ally’s like Gojo. Kashimo knowing love but not seeing it reminds me of people who know how to fix easy problems in their life, but they mentally block out the solution. Great video hundreds one of my top 3 alongside, “Why Gojo couldn’t reach Sukuna.”
Coook 🗣️🔥
lmfaoo completely agree with the first statement. I was like, this is a thought out video, wonder what the discussion will be like....top comments are about power scaling
Yeah some people need to reread and focus on the character and the mental side of series rather than power scale and shit.
Kashimo is easily one of the best characters in JJK
Was*
Same honestly, before and after his waffling bro stays at my #1 favorite spot
i think one of the MAIN reasons people hate Kashimos character is that he is one of the strongest characters in the Verse, but he came literary out of nowhere. People NEED to downplay his power and importance as a character for their AGENDA, because he murks their favorite characters, yes Yuta and Maki included.
The way Kashimo is treated in the community is a perfect example of how terrible anime slander can get and how much it can taint a character's image
Great analysis, I can tell that this character and the themes conveyed mean a lot to you, and it was touching. Love when we as people can look a bit deeper under the surface and see lessons and value to be had. Even if stories are fanciful and even downright silly, it's always beautiful to see these lessons being conveyed to others through a captivating medium. ❤
He has gotten exactly what he wanted: a shot at Sukuna
He even saved his CT for this match specifically. It was also a good way to take him out of the story.
Even after viewing the Gojo fight, he wanted to jump a worn out Sukuna.
I found your channel not too long ago, but man, with videos like this, you're tapping into a side of JJK that no one else has yet
Thank you man! +1 Sub earned!!!!
I'm not gonna lie. After watching your videos for close to 8 months now. I've come to the conclusion that I've genuinely been reading the story wrong. I always sat and wondered what kashimo was supposed to represent and you've shown me the way. But wtf have I been doing...
you're probably one of my earliest subs actually. i very rarely see anybody with more than 8 months. you have 10, very grateful for your support bro.
@@1hundred1 you're one of the few I've found that does actual analysis of the story and not just agenda talk. So thank you for making quality content.
i wish we saw conversation bvetween Gojo and Kashimo, during their months training.
both of their era's strongest
Amazing video, this very much got me to better understand kashimo even tho the fight was quick the meaning of it meant a lot
Watching you go through this Manga, reading it and explaining it while giving your own view on it makes jjk so much better. Keep it up and dive deeper ❤
Love these breakdowns gng keep em coming 🔥hope Megumi is next
A Kashimo video as I clock out for lunch .. impeccable timing 😮💨🤌🏾
Stand proud kashimo, you are the greatest farmer throughout heaven and earth.
You make some bangers but this might be your best. Every other Kashimo video ever by anyone has been power scaling and focusing on his Ls. The fact that he pulled such little book time and was this deep is just a testimony to the greatness of Geges vision and writing. I'm 💯% in with your view.
The music choices are always top notch! Maple and Nier are top tier for background 🙏
what are the songs
Thank you! Kashimo vs. Sukuna was one of my favorite fights, the conversation in the woods (Cursed Realm) being one of my favorite in anime\manga.
If Sukuna didn’t exist, Kashimo would have immediately tried to throw hands with fresh-outta-jail Gojo.
I can imagine Gojo coming out of the prison realm, everyone gathering there and Yuji dapping Gojo up, and KasHIMo just comes up and asks "Yo, can we box?"
Awesome video dawg, happy to see some good and deep videos on who Kashimo is as a character instead of just power scaling him. He was already one of my favs but this video made me love the guy even more. Shout out to the JJK God of thunder
Damn i was not expecting such a valuable life lesson from a JJK video but here we are 🔥🔥🔥
He fought Sukuna after he gained the world slash without flinching and has a technique that allows him to manipulate ALL electrical-based phenomena, which would include electromagnetism. Dude is an actual monster and people need to understand that he has access to abilities that could go through Gojo's infinity due to it only working at the atomic level, with some of those abilities being his EM waves, light, different forms of radiation that fall under the EM spectrum, and he could potentially focus in on and nullify the electric field/atomic bonds of his opponents, instantly disintegrating them. Kashimo has some of the highest potential in the series, and I hope MAPPA will cook for us and display more of what he should be capable of
This was excellent execution and exactly what I’ve been thinking when kashimo first entered the story his death was definitely the saddest to me
About time you made a video about your goat😂🔥🔥🔥
Finally some farmer appreciation. Another level 💯 vid
Thank you for the Kashimo coverage! One of my favourite characters but super mischaracterised in both extremes
This is so good. Reading the Gojo and Kashimo fights week to week definitely was different than going back and reading it now. This completely changes how to view the rest of this final arc going forward. Sukuna might not be fully a hedonist as we thought
Very well done video and great analysis on a very overhated and over memed character in Kashimo
Love the beginning background music 🫡🫡🫡
Christ bless you, didnt expect this to be so motivational
Off topic but what you've said about the three strongest in their respective eras (Sukuna Kashimo Gojo) just showcases perfectly how Gojo has truly fulfilled his role as the strongest, always lifting those around him up and giving them something to strive for, seeking to make a great change for the better in his era.
Always love hearing about Kashimo, I only wish he had one more fight.
Well articulated ! I had similar feelings of character appreciation for Charles Bernard (precog CT), although I think that one is a lot more direct than with Kashimo’s arc ! Lol
Amazing video and commentary
i can actually scale him even higher, easily 3rd strongest of the verse
It’s a pretty valid sentiment, considering the duration of his fight with the king of curses and how his Talk no Jujutsu was pointless
so you can't read??
@@orltyam2464when has the jjk fandom ever learnt to read?
I'm so tired of seeing people complain and say characters are wasted because they show up, fight, and die. this misses the entire point of jjk. It's a story about jujutsu sorcerers clashing with their powers and philosophies. Once a character has given all they have in a fight as tragic as it seems that's all they offer in the grand story. That was the cruel part about gojo, nobody cared about him as a person or really even tried to get to know him. They only saw him for his power. That's not to say he didnt have any depth though. Jjk like many other battle manga Express the characters personalities and views through the way they fight. That's sort of what gojo meant when he said he wanted to reach sukuna and make him understand by giving it his all. Jjk isnt a slice of life character drama driven story. So complaining that certain characters are wasted because they die after they fight is just missing the point. Their worth and meaning to the story only exists through their fights.
It was so funny to watch the copers and fanboys of Gojo emulate the exact behaviour that isolated him. Gege has humanity's number 💀
There's a story in the Bible, where a woman runs up to Jesus hoping to speak to him. Jesus gives her the moment she wants and when Jesus walks away, the woman's friends run over to her because she is on her knees crying. They asked her, "What did he say? What did he tell you?" After a moment, she gathered herself and told her friends, "He told me everything I have ever done."
I totally believe that we have seen everything that Sukuna has ever done. Not literally, maybe not even Sukuna's coolest looking fights in history but the point of it all, the useless of his actions, Jesus didn't have to stand there and tell the woman every moment of her life because whatever he said, explained everything that her life symbolized to her, which turned out to be mostly evil, and made her face it. Sukuna has faced his truth but he's always done the same thing, he's technically a boring character who hasn't had any growth in thousands of years.
The most actual character growth Sukuna has had, just happened after he killed Higuruma and had to stop, give pause and reassure that his asinine continuance of destruction of satisfying enough to continue to do it forever.
Bruh... Fantastic analysis of Kashimo while clearly demonstrating what strength, solitude and love mean in this story.
Great job 🤛
W KasHIMo vid, totally agree with you
He really is one of the deepest characters in JJK...
I think the reason why people believe he is wasted is because his fight was just too short. He could have served the same purpose with a longer fight (like 5-6 chapters long).
Yup, definitely, jjk is all about fights, and when you hype up somebody and he gets folded faster, then a grade 1 sorcerer it ain't a good look especially since his whole character was about fighting sukuna definitely wasted potential in the fight department. Hopefully, the anime does a better job, like with big ragga vs. sukuna
My only problem with kashimo vs sukuna is that to me it feels like there wasn’t enough to it. This is purely from a combat perspective in a sense that there was so much more we could have seen from kashimo and his technique. This is mostly from kashimo being my second favorite character and that I wanted to see more from him especially against sukuna.
The waffled one
Notice how 99% of popular JJK takes are the worst, most emotionally driven ones. Which makes sense as people love talking about what they hate more than what they love
The JJK fandom is infested with kids or adults that skipped English class. Cuz even with pictures, they can’t seem to understand anything beyond what’s explicitly said.
another banger video
Kashimo, the waffled one, would be better with some chicken.
Not gonna lie this video helped me understand this, thank you
Ofc he’s a great and strong character. It’s really just Yuta fans that have this weird obsession with him. Then again they’re the most annoying part of the community imo besides the ppl that switch up on JJK every 3 months
@@nasteay7497 Yuta fans literally make up the majority of jjk fans you can’t be more wrong💀. Yall make up stupid reasons to not like certain characters bc of power scaling
@@nasteay7497 you just proved his point
Yk in hearing this and the context to the battles it makes me realize that Sakuna is more than just an antagonist, he has his role too and he realizes it and just wants to live out his days as selfishly as he can, it's a damn masterpiece
My only major gripe with Kashimo is that his fight feels very short. It doesn’t feel like he had the title of strongest. If it was just slightly longer in a few places I think this feeling of wasted potential would go away.
Though with how the anime has been adapting scenes I’m sure it will pass. I guess I too am a little greedy like Kashimo wanting a scene to be extended for my own selfish reasons.
Bro is Just Lacking Feats and is instant fodder to Domains
that isnt the point, it isnt about powerscaling its about character and how hes treated
@@acid2219 bro I am always powerscaling 🤓
@@woods2307
Maybe he have something to beat domains since the sorcerers in his era got decimated and he was Numba Uno. He never had a reason to show it since the fight ended really fast.
@@woods2307 nop, he can defeat sorcerers with domains, except if the domain is an inta-win like gojo's or sukuna's
Gege really messed up with kashimo. Sukuna speed blitzed him when he logically shouldn’t, then sukuna couldnt handle wayyyy slower people after that lol. Sukuna literally draws out strong people fights, yet went 120% off the rip vs kashimo with that 500 ft net slash.
All I know about this man is the Gojo memes.
"Looks female enough."
I hate the internet.
what is the song you use in the end?
he forced sukana to jump into his heian era form thats a massive feat itself he was easily top 3
This analysis was perfect
Hundred, I just thought of something interesting. What if gojo was in sukunas' place? He would have to fight all his students it would be interesting to see how he would go about it
What’s the ost used in the bg it’s peaceful
Kashimo got the fate Gojo feared. In the airport he told Geto he went out the way he would’ve wanted.
Going all out against a worthy opponent, the thrill of battling an equal; even the uncertainty of victory is a rush.
Dying of old age, to them that just means a lifetime of isolation.
He understood more so than the young modern sorcerers how important it is that Gojo fight alone.
Gojo stated he trained hard honing his body and perfecting his techniques. Yet he had no capable of pushing him to use all he knows beyond his limits.
To those who take pride in strength to such high degrees ( Kashimo, Gojo, Sukuna) an all out battle against a similar or potentially stronger opponent is always welcome.
Hajime was a beast ⚡️
He ain't beating the farmer allegations
This was lovely
I used too and still clown on kashimo for comedic purposes but, he is unironically a well fleshed out character despite that. I still do wish he was allowed to do more against sukuna. Besides that I have no problem with character as I have learned more about him as time went on.
Bout time my mans got some respekkk
Man I love how well written this series is in totality. It’s crazy there’s actually a “jjk is badly written” narrative that purely stands that gojo’s death even tho the meaning behind that is also well written. Gege wrote a gem that probably won’t get it’s flowers til time down the line
Thank you for this video. So many unnecessary kashimo slender is ridiculous.
Just rewatched the vid to really take it in & boy was this a perfect character analysis for Kashimo. I can tell the passion that you put in this. His journey, his motivations, his personality, & you even did some Sukuna shit by proxy. Perfect
Referring to Kamutoke as a filter for the strongest is the best way I’ve seen anyone interpret it as. Everyone else seems to think it was for plot connivence & honestly I myself didn’t really figure out what the strategic reason for Kamutoke existing was. But I knew Gege was cooking. Glad he has a master taste tester here to dissect his masterpiece👏❤️🔥
(P.S sorry for the second comment. Just had to get it out, in case you needed it. Or maybe I’m selfish & just wanted to share my in-wanted feedback 😎)
I appreciate you king
Kashimo was one of my favourites and I’m pretty satisfied with his ending he came in with one goal and did it
I thought he was Yuki when i watched the full video of gojo vs sakuna you made
The Near Automata ost is so good (It sounds like a medieval version)
Pretty crafty as well, making the rule in the culling game so he can try and find more powerful sorcerers
He got worked the minute Sukuna transformed, meanwhile Yuta faired way better since his arrival. Immediately landing a punch of Sukuna. Im not even team Yuta (team Yuji all the way), but Hajime was a disappointment and got worked.
My problem is, he did NOTHING besides make Sukuna transform. But after that? One sided beatdown. If Hakari just killed him, what would've changed in the story honestly. Thats what annoys me, noy only was there not enough of him....but then dead
throughout the pancakes and the pastries, he alone is the waffled one
This take, you and I get it, you Get Kashimo
I never understood the Kashimo hate either. Sure, I wish we could've seen him in more fights, maybe even have his vs. Sukuna fight last a bit longer... but I never would've called him wasted. At the end of the day, Kashimo fulfills his purpose to himself and to the story as a whole. He learns from another what it means to be the strongest, why he has to endure the solitude his position brings and to the narrative he gives us an introspective into Sukuna himself, the main antagonist. He sheds light on one who was otherwise a complete mystery other than "strongest sorcerer in history." Before this point we had no idea what motivated Sukuna or what his end goal was.
Like it or not, as monstrous as Sukuna is based on appearance and personality, he's human. He's not a cursed spirit, he's a person with his own reasons for his actions. Does having reasons for your actions justify them? Maybe to yourself but to others? Hell no. At the end of the day, we have to accept that even the worst of us are still human. This goes for Kashimo as well, people only looked at him as the strongest when underneath all that power was a lonely old man who wanted to connect with others, not kill them.
shoutout hundred man
i do love kashimo character-wise, and i think his conversation with sukuna is such an amazing send off for him, but my god his cursed technique was so disappointing. he has such a cool ability that he got to do like, three things with in total. i'm hoping anime anime expands on it when we get this fight in 2073 because i wanna see kashimo really prove he's a top-tier among top-tiers.
Ive been debating someone about kashimo just now, in my openion, 3 only are above kashimo which are yuta, gojo and sukuna. With yuta winning extreme diff with RCT only
My take away from Kashimo:
me personally, I’ll never understand him and his way of life. To me, life isn’t about strength. I’ve never admired people for how “strong” they were. And I don’t admire people who go around preaching “look at how strong I am”. I admire people who do good with what they have. Regardless of physical strength and what not. Who cares if you ripped? Who cares about how much weight you can lift? I care about the people who make life good, the people who work on making the world around them better.
I just want piece. From my experience, I know who I am enough to know that strength won’t change that. And I feel like these characters like Kashimo and Gojo didn’t know who they were outside of pure strength. But what I like about Kashimo was that he attempt to find out. And even tho he died, he atleast got to leave the world with a smile in knowing that he
1. Made people he beat in the past feel acknowledged
2. Got to know how he made his world different.
Think about it like this. A fish is trying to find the ocean. And wherever it goes he can’t find the ocean…not knowing it’s already in the ocean, and has been exploring everything is has to offer (it’s not about the fish and the ocean…) I think this relates to Kashimo because he was seeking for an answer when really, he already had the answer…he just needed the perspective change. I already found this perspective change. So seeing Kashimo go through this is exactly why I like him. It’s not about how strong he is.
I believe it would've been better if Kashimo felt like the Strongest since this is the only time he goes all out. It also would've solidified the theme due to someone who has reached the pinnacle going all out yet still on a clear downward spiral with the addition of showing Sukuna's enlightenment by answering Kashimo's questions. it would've guaranteed the Sukuna>Gojo that Gojo alludes too. Also, from the Sukuna gauntlet perspective, Kashimo is by far the most ineffective fighter. The only thing he accomplishes is having Sukuna use his reincarnation. Which, would be very beneficial, if only for the fact that the Sukuna was not and likely could not use any CTs, and his main source of damage(Kamutoke) was removed right after. Even if Kashimo never fought we would still be in the same position due to Sukuna likely using his reincarnation once Kamutoke gets confiscated by Higuruma.
Imagine in a filler Ep we get to see a light sparing session with Gojo and Kashimo
GOATED character, but I would've like some extra chapters of him fighting.
Stand proud kashimo u surpassed the rice farmers 😢
Sukuna
I hope yuji gets cursed energy like Kashimo and hakari but with blood
Throughout heaven and earth. I alone am the waffle
