And I Know That It Was The Last Resort And All That, And I Don't Think That It Was Any Of The Students'

And I know that it was the last resort and all that, and I don't think that it was any of the students' or shoko's fault, least of all yuta's. But all of these factors do not have to make me like it. All the things about Gojo's soul being happy or whatnot does not rectify the goddamn disrespect that he has to face after death. He might be happy moving south, but why wasn't the north a happy enough place for him? Well, the way they treated his body after his death might give you a glimpse into the reason for it.

In the end, he was just Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of the modern era and never Satoru, a child who always had to look out for assassins, a teenager who ran himself into the ground to protect another teenager for it all to be in vain, a teenager who could not do anything but watch as all his friends walked away from him, a teenager who took in a child whose father had literally killed him and his friends, physically or emotionally or both, an adult who had to kill his one and only best friend, a teacher who would put his own life on the line for his students, a father who had to fight his own son. Apparently, being the strongest isn't enough to be seen as a person who deserves a proper rest.

So a few days ago I was scrolling on insta and saw a reel related to jjk. I read the whole damn text on it but didn't understand jackshit. It was not a jjk reel. It was a reel about some horror movie (well jjk is progressing like a horror movie too but whatever). I thought it was a jjk reel because I read the word lobotomized on it. LOBOTOMIZED. BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE LOBOTOMY KAISEN SHTICK. WHAT THE FUCK HAS THE JJK FANDOM DONE TO MY BRAIN

Well this did not age well

SPOILER FOR JJK MANGA!!!

Okay hear me out, I truly want Gojo to be alive. If my url doesn't make it obvious, then let me say it- I am a die hard Gojo fan (not one of the deranged ones, you know which ones I'm talking about), and I'm all for Gojo being alive and kicking. But if Gojo returns for a round 2 with Sukuna, it will RUIN the progress Yuji has made. Gojo's return to the fight can only yield two results- either he'll win, or he'll lose. In the first case, the purpose of Yuji's character as the mc would be utterly destroyed, and the second one will prove to be a disgrace to Gojo's character. Both the cases are, all in all, a lose-lose situation. The thing is, I wish that Gojo had never lost the way he did. I wish he hadn't died the way he did. But that's the thing. He lost, and that's that. I wish that he hadn't lost when he did, but bringing him back now will most probably be a bad move. I hope he'll be alive by the end of the story and all of that, but don't disregard the things all the characters, including gojo and especially yuji, have been through. Even if Gojo doesn't return, he will still be the strongest to me, and I won't be able to see his character be dragged through the mud again just because of a poor move by the mangaka.

You know, sometimes it's fine to let the characters be happy. It's fine to have a stressed and tired man have his dream vacation. It's fine to have a young girl finally meet her long lost friend that she always admired. It's fine to let a girl with a kind heart live with her little brother and not make her body a puppet to fight him. It's fine to let a young boy have his father back and not have him kill the only family he had left. It's fine to let a man with the burden of the title of the strongest be able to save the people he cares about. It's fine to let a man be the big brother he always wanted to be and live with the little brother he always wanted to have and not let him die without knowing what it is like to live. It's fine to let an innocent boy remain innocent and not have him lose everything he held close to his heart again and again. Sometimes, it's fine to not destroy the happiness of characters just in the name of character and plot development.

Fuck this shit. I'm moving on to that other show with gojo and megumi. Hopefully they'll get a better ending there.

I really feel bad for Zai. Poor dude hated and did not trust people, got recruited in a fucking ninja group, found two people who told him they'd be friends for life, his only friends literally fucked around and fucked off, leaving him behind, tried to stop them but they did not listen, AND THEN GOT FUCKING TORTURED FOR LETTING THEM GO. I mean, I understand Higan and Mari's reason for leaving, but dude, they found their reason for living in each other but took with them Zai's only hope in that shithole. Now that's just cruel.
