Are you analysing Satoru Gojo because he's the strongest or are you analysing the strongest because he's Satoru Gojo?

[@isaacnishimura8044]

In this instance, I’d say both. We’re analyzing Satoru Gojo, who happens to be the strongest, because he’s cool asf and deep or whatever, and we’re analyzing the strongest, who happens to be Satoru Gojo, because he’s strong asf.

[@capnbarky2682]

So many manga artists make a peerless, "strongest" character that bcomes beloved but never actually challenge that in a tangible way. Props to Gege for actually exploring the concept.

[@Hollowed2wiz]

I'm curious, can you elaborate on your idea with a couple manga examples please ?

[@reyriadp9116]

​@@Hollowed2wiznot manga, but a light novel. the main character is op as hell and no one can challenge him or even threatened him. It's irregular of magic School or something like that, the mc name is Shiba Tatsuya..

[@nimic6626]

​@@reyriadp9116to be fair a lot of light novel mcs are just like that. An empty husk of a character and the only defining feature of them are that they are so op. I know a lot of them are meant to be like that because of self insertion of readers but it just kills the character and that's why most if not all of them are so forgettable.

[@IaloneAmTHEChoppedONE]

@@Hollowed2wiz Dragon Ball does this with Goku. Even when he "dies", he's not actually dead. Even when the villain has every good reason to win, he's going to lose over some bullshit plot armor It's like in every "mainstream" fictional work about good guys and bad guys. Good guys always win

[@xXShiro23Xx]

@@Hollowed2wiz This is a late reply but one character that really pops in my mind because I'm still salty his strength wasn't properly shown was Benimaru from fire force. Throughout the manga, it's always expressed that he is strong. Probably the strongest but whenever a "strong" opponent appears, he still easily beats them. One fight even went like "the strong me you know is not the strongest me" or something like that.

[@valeriyav2149]

interestingly enough, in that bonus chapter in which every character was asked who's Gojo to them and they all finished with "he's the strongest" but when Mimiko and Nanako asked Geto who's Gojo and if he really was the strongest, he just said he was his best friend and didn't say anything about him being the strongest. so for Geto, Gojo was still just Satoru even after the fallout and what he might have said to burn the bridges. it makes sense that when Gojo was stripped of the title of "the strongest" and remained his human self, Geto was the first one he saw as well as all the people from his blue spring, the time when he was the happiest. just like Gojo said he would have been satisfied if Geto had been by his side before the fight and Geto's emotional reaction to that. in the end, Gojo finally looked happy and carefree again. people say Gege hates Gojo because he trolls way too often but I found Gojo's death to be the most merciful and beautifully written. he's free of the burdens of jujutsu society, free of contradictions between his human soul and in-human power, free of searching for the meaning of his existence and identity. he's finally just Gojo Satoru. and i think Gege had the most interesting approach to writing an "OP character" - someone who has everything but can do nothing because that power keeps him away from everything his soul wants. the paradox. I think Sukuna was in a similar position in the past but chose power when Gojo chose humanity. Gojo may have lost the battle because of that but finally found peace. for whatever reason, I think Sukuna is looking for his own kind of peace too.

Aaand this is the comment that broke the dam I constructed during the video. Congrats🎉

[@4Star18]

I don't care what anybody says, off screen/panel deaths are always awful. I think it was one of the worst deaths ever in manga/ anime. Especially for someone that is a part of the main cast. Just awful.

[@john_emperor01488]

​@@4Star18bro did you even watch the video or even read the comment What are you on

[@valeriyav2149]

@@4Star18 i (as well as the author of the video) was talking about the overall characterization of Gojo, the meaning of death for the character and the afterlife vision as the closure for Gojo. the off-screen part wasn't even mentioned. i don't think off-screen was the best decision either. i get why Gege did it - shock effect/surprise/to catch everyone off-guard but i think it mostly just perplexed the majority of readers. but in terms of storytelling and characterization of Gojo, seeing or not seeing a few panels with the slash didn't really change much - we still know what happened. i do agree - Gege needs to up his "show not tell" game in general. sometimes he overestimates the need to go around everyone's expectations and sacrifices time-proved canons that work for the audience

[@a.krishna3924]

everyone so far who died to Sukuna was give some sort of "peace" moment, specifically the deaths of those who challenged him in a fight, Jogo Gojo then Kashimo

[@Genomsnittet]

This is actually a very good point you make in the end. Yuji have always been rather... weak? Compared to other protagonists in manga/anime. For some reason, it is always the main character who gets power ups. Then a new bigger, badder boss shows up. And the main character gets another power up. If the solution to Sukuna is teamwork, then that will actually be a rather fresh take in my opinion. We all love godlike characters but I mean. We've been through this haven't we? ^^

[@TheSoulCalledZuzia]

1. Not "for some reason", but for the plot progression. How would the shonen plot progress without strong protagonist who has to fight stronger enemies but still be alive? 2. It wouldn't be that fresh, Demon Slayer basically did something like this already :P

[@asdasasdas3476]

Plot progression and power ups are not intrinsic

I only just recently got into JJK like a month ago, but Gojo is such an insane character to think about. You're the first person I've seen that shares my opinion that his death was beautiful. I don't think he *wanted* to die, but it is a fact he's relieved he died, because now he's free of all of all of these shackles, and can enjoy time with his best friend and other loved ones in peace, without any regrets (except the fact Geto wasn't there to pat his back).

Don't you think that if Sukuna continues to get rewarded for his hedonistic behavior, characters who are representing human getting killed, Gege is trying to say that strength at the cost of loss of humanity is not worth it? But by showing the horrendous consequences of that in the most painful way for the reader

[@IaloneAmTHEChoppedONE]

@ahmadadnan4773 What's wrong with being an edgelord?

Gojo would have killed sukuna if cheater mahoraga hadn't shown up. I love how everyone acts like that didn't happen. Without stealing the ten shadows first, sukuna gets rocked and that was extremely obvious throughout the entire fight. That's why it made no sense and was ridiculous when he got "killed offscreen. "

Man, this has to be the greatest character analysis of gojo I have ever seen. This video is pure art just like Gojos writing. Incredible video

[@ananthakrishnang3199]

I don’t know if he is dead though. Reasons are at the end, Yuta said, Gojo had the RCT back due to the black flash, he was not cut in the head but waist, which i believe he can stay alive using RCT as we have seen RCT bring back hands etc. Also, the flashback or memory he had ended with “is it delusion?” There is a strong chance that a character that was off screened, in JJK to come back. Again, I can be wrong.

[@jakerichards665]

The denial 🤣

[@toastge]

sukuna used a reality cutting cleave/dismantle which removes his soul and body directly. aiming for reality rather than actual space which is his infinity so that infinity will be taken out along with the space. gojo can't rct his soul back and no one else can

[@charlylmaoo5953]

@@toastge There is nothing that implies that hit cuts the soul any more than it normally does when damaging the body. As long as Gojo’s body didnt truly die, then neither did his soul, and thus he can be healed

[@toastge]

@@charlylmaoo5953 it's a theory like almost everything else about jjk. sukuna said he cut space and that gojos existence is also severed along with everything else. this slash uses cursed energy how would that work when trying to cut gojos limitless directly? it's stated that either cleave or dismantle can be manipulated to a varying type of slash which sukuna changed to a space cutting one.

[@cy4069]

Great analysis, I also think that the line in 236 where Nanami tells Gojo that he always lived solely for Jujutsu is super interesting when you take into account his internal struggle with being the strongest. Much like his domain is a paradox of infinity existing in a void, his personality and life were too a paradox of a man so powerful he yearned for a peer to connect with yet also defined himself by his strength and capacity to stand above others.

[@flamingmanure]

yet also defined himself by his strength and capacity to stand above others." not even close to true, in fact i would say he was constantly depressed about being the strongest but just didnt show it, his strength doesnt define him.

Gojo Saturo is what Anakin Skywalker was supposed to be one day. The honored one and the chosen one. Both are under the impression that their students need to face real-life challenges once in a while. So that Megumi and Ahsoka can develop faith in their abilities and decision-making. But still a genuine care to not let them take on the most dangerous missions yet. To stop relying on the old and conservative ways of their organizations. Considering their reputation and achievements Jujutsu sorcerer/Jedi would start seeing things more like them

[@Midmatt44]

This isn’t a review but my thoughts and feelings reading chapter 236 Its these sorts of divisive moments in Shonen I absolutely adore. This is like when Ichigo revealed his Bankai only to have it broken the next chapter or when Black Zetsu backstabbed Madara and Kaguya came out. These divisive Shonen moments that makes the whole fanbase up in arms calling this the worst Shonen out, this is bad writing, the author is a fraud, "the story was always bad", "it fell off/ it peaked during this arc", etc is what I enjoy witnessing because it'll be fun to look back at it years later when those people changed their opinions and call it PEAK once the manga finishes and we have a better understanding of the story told. I love that JJK has fullfilled that itch i've craved for that's been missing in this current era of Jump. RIP to Gojo sensei 🙏, one of the undisputed GOATS to ever come out in Shonen 🐐🔥🔥. There's absoutely nothing we can expect for what's to come for the remainder of this story and im excited to witness PEAK unfold. My love and enjoyment for this series has never wavered, it only continues to heightened

Well i agree with what you said exept the Zetsu part becuase it's an objectively a badly written moment and maybe not even becuase of Kaguya but Black Zetsu who is merely a plot device that wasn't forshadowed by anything.If black zetsu didn't exist and Kaguya took over Madara on her own when infitite tsukuyomi succeded it would be so much better.

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

To be fair i was never part of the people saying that breaking Ichigo's Bankai was a mistake, i was shocked and i wonder why? In my opinion i got a great reward, and i have never through otherwise.

What a beautiful video with great Gojo analysis. It aligns well with my own views and throughts of him. His send off was beautiful and a great chapter. There was the 2 nuances, the off screen and lack of care for his students or acknowledgment of humanizing him from his students. But everything else made sense and Gojo finally finding his peace surrounded by everyone... it was quite sad... sigh 😔

[@treysavage4570]

I agree his death wasn't the problem for me. For me its the dialog and how the fight went before he died. The fight should have been wayy more back and forth not Gojo dominating and the excuse is Sukuna holding back. Ryomen only had the advantage during the domain clash and that was only cause of him not closing his barrier. Sukuna should not have been holding back we should have seen almost all of Ryomen techniques besides maybe 1 just to give us a nice suprise later. After that last purple Urame should have showed up to deliver his curse tool and that is when Sukuna should have reverted to his actual body. Now show case how powerful his real body is by having him dog walk Gojo for a lil bit before finishing him off with his upgraded dismantle and cleave.

He’s keeping his abilities secret to improve his chances of winning by catching everyone by surprise. If it had been anyone other than Kashimo when Sukuna got his Vajra, it very likely would’ve been another easy kill for Sukuna because they didn’t know what the weapon was or what it was capable of.

That is just bad writing cause now it don't make sense for anyone that's left to be able to do anything against Ryomen.

[@wizardwolf1020]

@@treysavage4570 the thing is that is that’s it not as simple as dragon ball where the ones with the most raw power wins 100% of the time. In fact, JJK has rock, paper, scissors types of match ups sometimes with certain characters acting as a great counter for other characters. Gojo’s infinity is always an annoyance to deal with for everyone that fights him but if you approach it like Sukuna could’ve without stuff like worrying about future fights or keeping abilities secret. Sukuna could throw out his arsenal of abilities at Gojo without restricting himself to 10s once he unleashes his Domain. For most characters, their DE is their CT taken to its max potential and that’s all they can really do which, forgetting that Gojo’s DE is more refined than nearly the whole verse, Gojo could most often just tank the DE save for some of the VERY hax ones like Self Embodiment of Perfection. Sukuna however has multiple other abilities to stack on top of Malevolent Shrine to add more damage. Higuruma is entering the battle for the specific purpose of acting as a nerf for Sukuna as part of the strategy to beat the King of Curses. This series is shaping up to be different from other Shonen like MHA who hand out bs power ups to the characters just so they could close the gap in power to make it easier for them to beat the villains. JJK isn’t like that though as it’s going to make it hell for the cast to beat Sukuna and Kenjaku with teamwork being a major requirement at the end of the day cause I seriously doubt they’re gonna be handed power ups so large, they eclipse the King of Curses in a day cause of some character development moment.

24:46 Right, and that’s the reason we are in the situation that we are in currently in the manga. Spoilers ahead The calamity known as Sukuna is running amuck, because nobody needed to worry about a fully realized Sukuna. Gojo had this. To me I really enjoyed the fact that Sukuna was introduced in the beginning and while the plot basically revolved around Sukuna and his strength he was mostly in the background or completely excluded from full episodes and chapters. Kenjaku was the perceived “Big Bad” as the puppet master. But then Kenjaku fell and now we have Heian Sukuna and he’s beat every single sorcerer that has opposed him. Killed some, lowkey violated others; several times in fact. All in 1 single fight, while our protagonist tag out to heal or be healed. All because Gojo would win. Now is gojo going to win via philosophies? Almost certainly considering what has been happening the past few chapters in this “Attack on Sukuna” like arc but still we wouldn’t even be here if Gojo refused to make Yuji eat all the fingers.

Brother, what the ACTUAL FUCK, I didn't think I'd get alot from this video since I've given his character alot of thought and seen an embarrassing amount of analysis, but this video managed to quite literally blow my mind, everything down to his abilities and name is layered with nauence and symbolism, I didn't think I could like the mf more than I already did, but, thank you for providing me wrong. A theory I'd like to mention is that his Blue and Red possibly symbolise his duality between his humanity and his role as the Strongest, with the combination of both forming purple which represents his whole, thus being the Strongest attack in the whole verse.

I stumbled upon this video at 1AM and i was like "Hm, let me see what this is about and then ill go sleep" but i couldnt stop watching it. The way you speak and the points you bring up are so god damn engaging, that they make me want to binge all of your content. I was wondering, how are you making your scripts? How do you come up with the points that you bring up? I always struggled to analyze characters in anime or movies like this (just for my own enjoyment and understanding) and i was wondering if you do anything conscious for it. Do you consume a lot? Do you write a lot? What is it you do that allows you to be capable of this kind of analysis. Thank you for the video and time to read this!

[@R7dman]

Thank you for the comment! I spend a lot of time thinking about my favourite stories & discussing them with friends, I don't write nor consume a lot of fiction. I do consume a lot of analytical content & spend A LOT of time consuming my absolute favourite stories although I really should check out some more stuff lol. I don't do anything "conscious" for analysis but I'm always trying to place myself in the shoes of the writer when consuming any story and asking myself what the purpose of every little thing is. These creators pour their life into their work, the amount of thought that goes into even the smallest lines is staggering, simply acknowledging that opens the door to discovering a lot of cool things imo.

[@user-gf2xh5rd9w]

он был не одинок, когда самым сильным был не только он, Geto и Gojo говорили о себе как "мы сильнейшие"🥲,мне больно от того факта что только Geto относился к Gojo больше как к личности,чем просто как "сильнейшему"

[@iama.k1080]

He is coming, for real

[@lazyorbit86]

Thank you for this video. I'm team Gojo and I'm very saddened that he died but I think 236 was a very good send-off for him and there's really no sense in bringing him back. let my man die in peace T_T

[@casuals.3.19]

Real asf bro he completed the one thing he wanted to accomplish which was fight someone equal to him. The speech about Sukuna was like he’s dead he is NOT coming back

[@Malthizar]

Dude, you've *got* to make a new video after 261. I think it perfectly envapsulates everything that is Gojo and nobody else is seeing it. Everyone is talking about Yuta and his lines yet it's like the fact Gojo came back in "this" way is just lost. I think it speaks to many of the points you bring up here in this video and what Gojo "actually" meant to the JJK world as well as our world as readers

[@R7dman]

Dropping tomorrow.

[@lakra4k]

Another masterpiece, his videos are so rewarding to watch! My real feelings about the last few jujutsu caps, is that it sucked, not because gojo died, but how we were guided to this result!

[@raec5426]

Exactly, Gege was going too much for "shock factor" and don't think it translated well. I don't think he needed to make it abrupt as he did off ch 235. A well-written death can stand on its own without needing those tricks to llicit more of an emotional response. In fact, the emotional response can be opposite of what the author intended (be more offensive than sentimental) with the way its done.

[@soupchops]

[@hayyanyousufkhan6032]

I believe he'll come back

[@user-gf2xh5rd9w]

Я все еще не могу отойти от смерти Gojo...многое в манге строилось на том что он сильнейший,и безусловно все подкреплено фактами. Gojo действительно сильный маг,обидно что Sukuna даже не в своем настоящем облике одержал победу,да и сам факт того что Gojo убил Mahagora за кадром,чувствуется больно уж преуменьшением значимости и сил Gojo. Я могла бы принять его смерть если бы он при этом убил двуликого,но ....сейчас все сражение выглядит бессмысленным . Sukuna не вымотан,и как его победить теперь,если даже gojo не смог не понятно,тогда все что происходило в манге теряет смысл.

[@peltycrikts6990]

To be honest, I couldn't care less if Gojo lost, if it was actually intended from the start. This literal video proved the point Gege could only write Gojo as the strongest. But it's clear Gege forced this conclusion, because he never had one, as it doesn't fit with what he's stated already, it's literally a well done retcon, everyone's who agrees with the outcome of their fave Sakuna, praising cause it matched some lose statements out of context.

I believe being born the strongest made him Satoru Gojo however he just learned to be Satoru Gojo who will be born as the strongest.

[@flamingmanure]

gojo is stronger than sukuna, i dont know about peak period sukuna, but the thing is sukuna never actually overpowered gojo in the fight, he merely outplayed him with his options, if maharaga or migumi werent where they were, then sukuna wouldve died in the first few chapters of the fight. pound for pound, gojo is a stronger sorcerer.

42:06 It's probably not only that, i learn this through playing Digimon Survive, but there are myth's that the Cherry Blossoms require death beneath them to bloom, that they are planted where there are dead corpses... Yeah, it's ironically poetic what the whole meaning could be, he is reborn, but his death feeds the growth of the future youth

i still dont get how instead of thinking about his students he thinks about wow sukuna youre such a man gawk gawk

Can u talk about the eyes in bleach universe? why does reio have four, yhwach had two then it changed and became three, mimihagi have one but the other arm (pernida) has two. Can u upload a video telling us why it is different and what does the eyes represent and why yhwach eyes have became three?

i have a funny question radman, let’s say gojo time traveled to see another person who has six eyes, would Unlimited Void even work on the, wouldn’t they be able to process all of it? what yall think

[@killuazoldyck4742]

Sukuna won the battle but Gojo will win the war ... via his fostered Students. Great F video man!

[@dalimelki2971]

like Takako Uro said to yuta yoou will reach ur limit in the end cause he is human and no matter how strong gojo is he still had limits cause he is a human this is how jjk world work and this one of the reason sukuna evolved from humanity he surpass his limits and more than that even if gojo was stronger than sukuna at the fight the problem sukuna keep evolving and growing more stronger thats the main factor and in 237 chapter gege hinted about sukuna being an anwanted child and thats the opposite of gojo being the gifted child he was born the strongest while sukuna maybe he was weak but he have the capacity to grow stronger infinitly and no matter what sukuna and gojo they didnt fight for nothing but fun gojo didnt fight to save the jujutsu world he was just having fun both of them even in the fight they were walking arround talking and smilling at eachothers XD

[@ididntaskverified3663]

Now I know how Kobe felt

[@darthcaliginous2066]

I can’t stand it when fans ask who will surpass Gojo. Bro you’re potential as a sorcerer is determined at birth. 80 innate talent. Yet everyone thinks Yuji, Yuta or Hakari are about to surpass him when Yuji went his whole life without seeing curses the main requirement to become a sorcerer, You’re born with strength or not, its that simple. Whats the point of reading the story if you not paying attention to the rules of that story the author established?

[@EllisMcCollum-ww8tk]

Dude gojo himself said those guys can rival or surpass him someone .. stop taking it so literal . Thinking too deep there's no boundaries in fiction

[@mannujc9871]

Rereading the fight, I think Gojo got sliced at the end of the chapter when Kusakabe declared Gojo the Winner. * We see his upper half in a panel as he is smiling & then his lower half in the next panel

[@Daniel-xs1bx]

Gojo may seem like a very simple character, but the more I delved into him the more interesting he became in my view, deep down he didn't want to be remembered as the strongest, but rather as Satoru Gojo, the individual, the human being, and not simply an enormous force, apart from the fact that literally all of his powers are linked to his loneliness, the mugen prevents him from touching people , the red moves away, the blue tries to bring someone to Gojo, the purple destroys the connections, the six eyes prevent him from seeing people as a human being, but as a mass of energy, and his expansion is the representation of the distorted vision that the six eyes give him, giving infinite information besides literally the domain being an infinite solitude
