MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

gabi:

gab is a controversial character. and many don’t like her for her way of thinking and her actions, like people’s reactions/feelings towards floch (i linked that post below). they disregard the fact that they are bias towards the island of paradis people.

through the time span from 2013 to 2019, we’ve only seen the perspective of those who are on the island. as the audience, we understand the hurt, trauma, and many terrible adversities those on the island have gone through, therefore, empathizing with them. we later learn that the marleyans are in charge of that oppression and oppress the eldian on the motherland as well.

gabi, a child in marley, grew up in a place that constantly pushes propaganda onto their people. they made people like karina braun, reiner’s mother, believe those lies implemented into their lives.

we are told that it is healthy to sleep 8-10 hours our entire life, but what if all of a sudden it is proven otherwise? wouldn’t it impact our views? wouldn't some people question what they've been told and be in denial as well?

gabi and falco grew up their entire lives believing that eldians deserve this “repercussion”. how do you blame a child who believed the lies she’s been fed since the very beginning of her life?

falco understands that the marleyans have done much wrong because he was present during the conversation between reiner and eren. he gained a new understanding when “reiner, i am the same as you” was uttered from eren’s mouth. whether it's a blessing or a curse, falco understands the mindset of eren and the reasons of why what happened during tyber's speech, happened.

besides gabi’s way of thinking, people dislike her due to the fact that she killed sasha. i understand the hurt as i was distraught when i read that chapter as well, but understand that sasha also killed gabi’s friends and contributed to eren's attack. i understand that it doesn’t justify murdering someone, but why do people hold gabi accountable and not sasha? reason being point-blank, people are biased towards sasha. she is a lovable character, some would even categorize her as the comedic relief, the twin flame to connie. that’s why it hurt so much.

another point is the fact that gabi's character is parallel to eren. the series began with eren cursing at the titans, wondering why is it that people within the walls live in a constant fear due to the titans existence. they did no wrong. why were they being attacked?

why were the innocent eldians in marley attacked? were they responsible for their government’s actions? weren’t they just as oppressed as the eldians on the island? gabi saw the friends that she grew up with die just as eren saw his mother die. so why do people hate her more than eren? why don't they hold eren accountable? once again, it's due to them being biased.

gabi escaped with falco and went to live with sasha's parents, which prompted her character arc. she began to understand the eldian’s on the island. they were not devils as she was told her entire life. they were mere humans who wish to live in freedom.

later, when she met with niccolo, she then truly understood the weight of her actions. only then did she realize that she contributed to the cycle of hate.

in the recent chapter, chapter 138, gabi turned into a titan, which ultimately led her to death's arms. that in it of itself is really telling of her overall character. at first, i didn’t realize this but she cursed people of the islands for having devil blood and for being devils themselves. she thought that if she sided with marley she would be “honorary marleyan”. after eren’s attack, she realized her perspective was wrong. her efforts to suppress her blood was all for naught.

gabi dying from turning into a titan makes us, the readers, understand that at the end of the day, she is an eldian. through it all, she cannot escape what is in her blood.

in hindsight, i thought it was a mundane ending to her character, but i later realized that it was very good ending to her character. i wonder if at that point, she truly accepted who she is. is it a bittersweet ending, or simply a somber one? it's all up to your interpretation of it.

in the end, all characters within this series have done wrong. evidently, some more than others, but the world isn’t simply black or white. it is a vast of grey and the only choices can make are not right or wrong, but better or worse.

i don’t love gabi but i don’t hate her either. although, i think she is an important character within the story, much like floch. compared to eren, she is a different side of the same coin. driven by revenge.

what i love about her character is that she was able to break free from the cycle of hate to create her own opinions, to break free from what the government has told her to believe. not many have that opportunity or luxury to say they have done the same, whether it be within the story, or real life.

wow i wrote a lot

MAJOR JUJUTSU KAISEN MANGA SPOILERS

maki:

in light of chapter 144, maki’s appearance sparked havoc due to her injuries and haircut. many realized the parallel between her and toji, but yk me being the genius that i am, i realized this when gege first introduced toji fushiguro’s character.

toji cannot utilize cursed techniques, therefore, having no use in the jujutsu world, just like maki. they both are cast aside and looked down on by their family. they also resent their family and left. the parallels between the two are undeniable.

in chapter 110 maki meets toji for the first time, baffled by his technique, despite him not being able to use cursed techniques as well. at this moment my theory was proven. toji is maki at her best.

flash forward to chapter 144, maki’s haircut is similar to toji’s. how is maki going to utilize her experience with toji? how is she going to maneuver herself to be like toji or even, one day, surpass him?

maybe maki is “destined” to be a better version of toji. toji is an anti-hero, someone who isn’t good nor bad. he wasn’t a good father but genuinely cared for his son. i believe maki will become better and utilize this “misfortune”.

her motivation, drive is admirable. i love maki.

it was mentioned by momo before that a man with scars is seen as honorable, but scars on women are seen as flaws. maki now has scars across her face. how is that going to affect how the zen’in family views her?

MAJOR JUJUTSU KAISEN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

megumi:

the aloof yet caring character, something anyone would love. what interests me most about megumi is not what sukuna finds interesting about him, but his moral compass.

megumi has stated multiple times that he only saves those who he deems as worthy of saving. that mindset isn’t like what yuuji preaches throughout the duration of the anime and manga. yuuji hopes to save everyone and anyone who is suffering from the cursed spirits. megumi always questions “who the hell am i supposed to save?”, which then comes to the conclusion that he should save whoever he wants. not to be a person who is deemed as nice, like his sister tsumiki.

is that a valid way of thinking? is saving whoever you wish, bad?

the answer is that there is no answer.

yuuji believes that by giving everyone a chance to live out their lives, he is doing good for the people. but what challenges this idea is whether it’s a good idea to save people who are considered “bad”? the act of saving people, in general, is “good”, or whatever “good” is. but in this eternal bleak, there is so much that happens. how to we come to the conclusion of the two polar choices?

megumi challenges yuuji’s moral compass. gojou’s moral compass also challenges yuuji’s.

i agree with megumi. saving those who i believe is worthy is the only way i know-how. unlike gojou, i don’t have the power to say i could make those decisions. but i wonder, is megumi’s way of thinking, selfish? i don’t know when the situation of saving someone arises, but if it comes, what would i do?

what would you do?
