Pretty sure it's the reason Gojo killed the higher ups. They didn't even bothered to help or had a plan during Shibuya incident. Because they didn't made any move lot of people died. Gojo and his mentors and students only went to save people. This is why Gojo killed them all. The problem is the higher ups not main crew. If they helped main crew would have avoided many bad outcomes. And against Sukuna they know most of them all are weaker.

imo, jujutsu society is so stuck up on itself because there were little to no threats to it ever since Gojo. Because Gojo was ever so reliable, they just let Gojo deal with everything and they let themselves get complacent and arrogant. Heck, I think Mechamaru was probably planning on only letting Gojo know about the plan, since he only put the earpieces at Shibuya instead of JJ High. And we all know that the only person that has a high chance of being deployed in there was Gojo. In a high risk situation, they'd only try the plan with the lowest number of persons involved. But Gojo never encountered any of the earpieces planted. Jujutsu society is fucked from the very start. Gojo's existence makes them want to self preserve and only do the bare minimum.

[@enma8441]

It took Maki, Megumi, Noritoshi, Panda and Toge just to hold off Hanami and then Todo and Yuji as and they were unsuccessful. If They were 2 disaster curses, it wouldn't go well for jujutsu high even if Mechamaru warned them. And they were 3 of them in the train station. Literally the entire cast wouldve died fighting them if they went instead of Gojo. Well probably if they had Yuta but then if you add Dagon, Kenjaku himself and Uraume, probably wont end well for jujutsu high. And going into battle with Gojo is almost suicide cos if they are caught in infinite void, its over. Its not lack of planning, its lack of power.

@@CyberCaliber thats a wrong way to look at this, jjk is not a critique of society. jujutsu society is a secret government funded exorcist program where the practitioners fight horrors on the daily and most of them die early as students in terrible ways. their power is fueled by negative emotions and as a result of the genetic nature of cursed techniques, energy reserves and output the big families that dominate the larger landscape value strength to an insane level. its a zero sum game and curse users do not make it any better. basically Gege gave reasons why this society worked, its flaws and how it collapsed. it is awfully stable an the biggest changes in the world are what actually made it fall apart.

[@VHSenjoyer195]

To me, the worst part in JJK lack of planning, is the fact that they don't convey information to one another or to the higher-ups, outside of episodes. As if they didn't have intel on Hanami, Mahito, Jogo and all the terrorist sorcerers. They know from very early that the enemy intends to use Sukuna, and Gojo even knows that Sukuna could at any given time make a pact with Yugi. Not to mention the fact that the curses they are facing, have been dealt with before. So they should expect them to appear some time after they get exorcised as well as measure their power leveling speed based on how long they have been around. Otherwise, how do they even dare call it jujutsu "tech". Where is the tech to be found?? And to put the cherry on top, on season 1, they stole fingers from the base... Anyone could put 1 and 1 together and have the answer to their plan 🙄 Thanks for the video. It is a struggle to find critical reviews on this show.

Yeah I always thought the sorcerers were kinda stupid. So, Gojo was having trouble fighting the disaster curses because civilians were around. Yet he easily walked towards Hanami and killed her. Why didn't he do that for Choso and Mahito too? And for Jogo, since he's using domain amplification, why not grab him, drag him away from the civilians, and then kill him with a powerful technique? Why didn't he kill the main bad guys first when he did his 0.2 second domain? I understand why he held back: he didn't wanna kill the civilians, and he was kind of having fun. But there is no way he was just fighting them for like 20 minutes. Bro should have killed all of them sooner than that. The villains plan literally hinged on Gojo being stupid. Also what Mahito did almost ruined the whole freaking plan. He deployed his monsters to start killing humans, because they wanted to get Gojo tired after using his domain. This would also give him cursed technique burnout. Good plan yes... Except, what was the plan if Gojo kills everyone with his domain? I guess, yeah, Kenjaku can still seal him, but now Mahito, Choso, and Jogo are all dead. Now the Culling Games can't start, because Mahito's dead. And didn't Kenjaku tell Jogo earlier to not use his domain because Gojo would just do the same and kill them? What were the villains thinking?

⁠​⁠@@dr.boring7022Did you read the manga or watch the anime? 1. Jogo and Choso were way more cautious about fighting Gojo. Hanami had their back placed towards the wall, meanwhile Jogo didn’t and had time to run. Later when Gojo is stuck in a crowd, Jogo gets his arm grabbed and just tears it off in order to get away. Basically Jogo would rip whatever part of himself off in order to get away. Also all of Gojo’s more powerful techniques could’ve collapsed major parts of the station. 2. The narrator states that Gojo fears that they might awaken from the 0.2 domain too fast and continue using hit and run tactics in order to prevent him from killing more transfigured humans. 3. The plan was that Gojo, wouldn’t use his domain and that he’d stand still long enough for Kenjaku to appear and use the prison realm. Gojo wouldn’t have done it due to the fact they added more humans into the area, thanks to Mahito collapsing the ceiling. All of it was to put more pressure on Gojo.

[@piece-kun4168]

1. Kenjaku did seal off all of mekamarus escapes. And reason why there less contigency plans is that hes not a batman and its a normal amount of contingency plans and that binding wow made hard to create them in the first place, im suprised that he managed to create one to begin with.

[@piece-kun4168]

2. Student exchange arc. Before that they had no idea about disaster curses being organised and lead by kenjaku. It's weird to assume that a curse that would want to avoid Jujutsu sorcerers and just keep killing normal people would want to got to Jujutsu festival.

[@piece-kun4168]

3. Shibuya. Shibuya barrier is miles above the one they used in student exchange so they couldn't just break it + it lets strong people pass so you can't brute force it that's why they had to go in and Look for ways to break it. They had no comms inside to really share that info. Asking tengen is out of question, that dude is already to busy maintaining the barrier around Japan. As someone already said noone went with gojo cose noone can help gojo. People around him slow him down and that why he avoids going with anyone. Yuki was already on her way to shibuya since the beginning of the incidents, she just constantly travels around Japan so it took her longer than sorcerers who do live in Tokyo to get to Tokyo.

[@piece-kun4168]

4. There is 0 reason to say that utas domain is stronger than yukis. Reason why Yuta was sent and not Yuki is not that he is stronger but that he is Much much much more versatile than her. They had no idea what was waiting for them so sending Yuki there is a bad decision. Hell only reason kenjaku succeeded is cose he happened to have a perfect counter to Yuki in form oh yukis mom. Dud saying that Megumi should have guessd the pattern is such bs. Hell he will deny that it's real even if you spell it out to him. When it comes to his sister this guy would have entered catatonic state if you told him that his sister was dead already. Reason why he wasn't when he saw that she already did reincarnated is purely denial and thinking it can be reversed.

[@piece-kun4168]

5. Sukuna fight. It is very explicitly stated that gojo didn't fight or kill 15 finger sukuna is that they wanted to save Megumi before dealing with sukuna. Megumi was always a higher priority It was explicitly stated that lerue and Miguel refuse to participate while ther is any thread of sukuna domain expansion and of fuga. They REFUSED to work at the time higuruma went to fight. Lastly idea that if they all went together the would have a letter chance is stupid af. Friendly fire is a thing, it's easier to kill them all at once than killing them one by one and them some coming back after being healed. Their plan is so much better cose it allows them to prevent most death. So far the only ones who outright died are Gojo Kashimo and Higuruma rest were heavily wounded and evacuated to be treated.

[@azikiwewilliams3187]

What you said about Mechamaru's binding vow makes sense, we know that from Meimei's CT the most powerful binding vows are vows that come at the cost of the subject's life, as in the case with her crows. So a powerful binding vow where Mechamaru's communication devices would immediately manifest as a result of his death is completely plausible/feasible . I believe this to be the case, especially with the way we see Sukuna cast so many binding effective binding vows for his DE, and the world cutting slash, in the latest chapters with no life threatening drawbacks, with no issue.

[@pmanattack7363]

This is never explained in the story, but I think it's reasonable to assume that Mechamaru couldn't make a self-imposed binding vow like that without risking its creation causing a his binding vow with Mahito/Kenjaku to break. Their binding vow was probably something to the effect of "you work as our mole, give us info on Jujutsu Tech and Gojo Satoru, and promise not to leak our plans to seal him on October 31st. In exchange, we promise to do you and your classmates no harm, and to heal you once your side of the bargain is fulfilled." If the vow was something like this, then Mechamaru making a binding vow that would inform everyone of the enemies plan in the case of his own death would have broken the promise (since he knew theyd kill him before shibuya), unless he made the vow AFTER the deal was finished. Unfortunately for Mechamaru, he had to fight the second the deal was complete, so he couldn't make the vow. Having Gojos sealing be the activation condition doesn't break the binding vow imo, since it would only activate IF the villains plan succeeded, so he definitionally wouldn't be leaking information to the good guys that would prevent Gojos sealing.

It's also dangerous to jump Sukuna due to his aoe slashes, which most of the cast are incapable of dodging. Also, something that is noticeable in the manga, sorcerers are not team players. They are all trained for one-on-one encounters, so them trying to attack sukuna all at once, they probably would've just got in each others' way.

[@Ja_Kuja]

Sukuna could have used them to combo and do good in his fight long enough for Fuga to be charged and then everyone not named Gojo probably would've just died there

[@Warhammer_lover]

@@Ja_Kuja My point exactly. There's simply a chasm in power levels between gojo/sukuna and the rest of the cast. Thanks to gojo tiring sukuna out quite a bit, the rest have at least some chance to defeat him.

[@lewisbarrett4391]

The whole reason why Mechamaru resorted to trying to take out Mahito is because Kenjaku had sealed them in a barrier, preventing him from escaping, his only hope for escape was to try and take them out then and there

[@No-kw9wu]

Yea why didn’t he talk about that

[@baamthetwenty-fifthnight6753]

only thing I'd say say against the all in one jumping was the real threat of a domain expansion wiping them all out in a single go. I imagine there was a significant amount of planning that was immediately tossed out when the fight began as well, like 2 months of planning down the drain when you realize the mfers can spam DE like they're pennies and dimes. Also alot of people just not willing to risk their lives, IMO they should have actually should have let Yuta copy Ui Ui's spatial transfer so as soon as kenjaku was finished he could TP to assist Yuji and Higaruma. At the same time, this would leave the CSM rampage, but tbh thousands of CS would be much easier to clean up later, especially if you made another team of anyone willing to do pest work/not willing to fight sukuna.

[@FinnaWoken]

A huge thing imo is that gojo sent megumi to get the finger at the school instead of going himself. Had be been the one to go he 100% would've sensed something similar to sukuna's power within yuji before he ever ate the finger and everything would've turned out different

[@tienluong9648]

There are other instances that you could have mentioned like the fact that Gojo should have known about Sukuna's open domain through his students which would result in him attempting his shrunken domain right from the get go which could have given him better chances of beating Sukuna. And Maki should have gone for the head, seriously does Infinity War not exist in this universe?

[@Ja_Kuja]

skip through his students, Yuji specifically should have told him since he has the memories from when Sukuna controls him at least I'm assuming since what we saw with Yuji in Shibuya after Sukuna vs Mahoraga

[@onlyaladd569]

4:54 - Not really. Pretty sure the Zenin and other clans want Yuji dead. They could have used the Shibuya incident as an excuse to assassinate Yuji (Because Gojo is sealed). Think about it: a three-way battle between The protagonists, The Zenin Clan, and the Cursed Spirits before Sukuna and Jogo wipe them all. That would have been epic.

[@JDubs1464]

The only thing I can say for Gojo not bitching 15F Sukuna is him not knowing how to deal with him and Megumi. Sukuna seemed stronger and more level headed than when they last met when he was Yujikuna. He doesn’t know how well Sukuna could use the 10S, if Megumi can take control back, which he likely figured wasn’t possible given how he was just chilling with Kenjaku and Uraume

[@carlospaim3287]

- Mechamaru couldn't escape, that's explicit in the show - His contingency plan is kind of bad sure - Every group had their own goal in Shibuya, the whole thing with the barrier overlay was hard to deal with - Tengen can't just break barriers, he planned to break Kenjaku's domain by collapsing his own barrier, that would only work if those barriers were inside Tengen's barriers, which was not the case - There is a basic ideia in the story that everyone involved in a Gojo fight is just encumbrance. Even Yuta wouldn't be helpful if he showed up against Sukuna in the final battle, this situation is similar - The 3 main clans and the higher-ups barely do shit, all of Gojo ideal are based around that. I would say that Naobito being there makes less sense than the other Zenin not showing up. Those things are generally handled by Jujutsu High and their students and ex estudents (Even Yuki and Kusakabe are masters of Jujutsu high students being Aoi Todo and Miwa). - Yuki was already able to one shot every curse of Kenjaku, even the especial grades, if that was a issue during the fight Kenjaku wouldn't open his domain. We also don't know how strong is Yuta domain because the only time it clashed was a unusual situation and Kenjaku's domain has no borders, he would probably summon a curse outside of Yuta's border and destroy his domain regardless just like Sukuna did to Gojo - Yoruko probably only took control of the body on the last second, just like Yuji switches with Sukuna. Still kind of weird for them not even think of this possibility but sure - Every ally they had showed up in the culling games somehow. Remember that Nanami died, Gojo was sealed, Yaga died, Shoko is not a fighter and Mei Mei ran away. The only adults left were Yuki, who was protecting Kenjaku and Utahime which is either not that useful or was occupy in Kyoto high. We also need to remember that Japan is infested with curses, the adults that we don't know of are probably dealing with that too (or they were against their plan in the first place, just like how Kusakabe wanted for Yuji to die) - Hakari and Yuta are way more competent sorcerer then Ino Kusakabe and Mei Mei regardless, we also don't know were Ino is i will give you that. But not everyone was in favor of unsealing Gojo - This is not really said in the manga, but I assume Gojo was not at 100% after being unsealed. If he clashed domains against Sukuna he probably would lose because he wouldn't be able to make his domain small (that's speculation). Gojo said he would lose against Sukuna even without the ten shadows, if you put Kenjaku and Uraume in the mix, it's not for certain that he would win (they probably know how to use amplification and gravity manipulation would affect him) - Larue and Miguel didn't want to show up until Sukuna was weakened enough, they couldn't rely in his CT that early. Larue only shows up after Sukuna lost his arms (couldn't use the world cutting slash) and barely had RCT. If Sukuna was not weakened, Larue would just get hit by cleave just like Yuji was when Higuruma was fighting - This fight is way faster than people realize. Sukuna was being jumped the entire time, but the backup was just being one shot. That happened to Choso and Ino, and Kusakabe was already fighting, he was just the only one left at that point. Maki was also jumping Sukuna but the whole plan of hiding her with the domain was better then she being in the front row from the start, the destroyed Sukuna's heart

The only one I kinda agree with is mechamaru setting a better activation condition for his mini-maru’s. The rest are really just things you can only say in hindsight or just straight up wrong. Like the entire point of the shibuya incident was that it was a complete blindside Gojo should’ve easily cleaned up himself. Only reason Naobito was there to begin with was to deny Maki a promotion. Tengen doesn’t interfere with anything. The higher ups don’t give af about civilian casualties. They just didn’t want to risk any sorcerers casualties. The megumi thing is just ignoring all context for his character. Same for Larue and Miguel. They didn’t want to fight to begin with, so they wanted as much damage dealt to Sukuna as possible. It’s easy to say Larue go team with Higuruma. But you have to look at it from their perspective. They’d literally rather fight the Godzilla merger curse than a weakened Sukuna. Ignoring that Gojo vs 15F Sukuna isn’t a low diff for either character. Gojo doesn’t know what current finger number Sukuna is at. And ya know, he’s in Megumi’s body. What if he lost right there? He doesn’t know the state of the world or his students they’d be alone again without a plan of any sort.

1. Mechamaru's motivation wasn't to prevent Gojo's sealing, it was to keep his friends safe. So he prioritized that over the overall success of the world by manipulating the situation to make sure none of them were in shibuya. 2. The higher-ups knew the shibuya incident was a plan to trap Gojo, that's why they sent him in first. As soon as he is sealed, they start making moves against all of the people he was protecting(the principal, yuji, yuta if he were in the country). The current regime wants gojo sealed so that they are the strongest sorcerers, and they don't actually care about shibuya. Gojo went in willingly alone because he thought he was too strong to get sealed like that. 3. Using yuji would be way too risky, what if he captured rikq with cursed spirit manipulation? 4. Higuruma could only have gone in with Yuji, or it could have effected the trial. Also, larue would not have gone into the fray that early

And have everyone wear armor like soldiers since this is supposed to be a military force and have said armor be imbued with curse energy to add further protection C: for the love of god, stay in teams.

How are they supposed to keep curses a secret when the military gets involved? "any curse users joining would have already be in or near their prime". There is an insanely small circle of people who can even become a sorcerer, let alone go against strong curses. By introducing an age restriction you would limit the list of candidates even further. Also if a senior dies, who do you replace him with? You would have to send the kids in anyways. Also, age doesn't really matter. If your cursed technique is weak you can go and train for 35 years but a 5 year old Gojo would still beat you. I doubt cursed imbued bullets will stop a meteor, lava or the guy who can transform you into a baseball bat. Have not realized that 90% of the cursed weapons used are useless? Also, they will start focusing on weapons, depending on them and there will be a lack of cursed energy control. "on a dumb curse technique fight" Yeah buddy care to explain to us how you will shoot a guy who can teleport? Or if a bad guy summons like 5 monsters. What are your weapons gonna do? Most curse techniques are way better than weapons. But hey you have an armor on, that will save you from the meteor dropping on your face. An armor won't protect you from most techniques. I agree with everything else but an age restriction, armor, and weapons won't do anything against dangerous curses.

He's established 2 jujutsu metropolitan schools, 3 massive prestigious clans, and a SEPERATE jujutsu society run by the ainu people that he refused to mention more than once after failing to include it in the plot. He legit has to ignore or get rid of so much of his own world that the story feels completely half-assed. Good guys needed to be undermanned for the Shibuya Incident to take place, so Gege ignored everything else that's happened and had some ridiculous planning mistakes be made on jujutsu high's part. The culling games needed the most incompetent sorcerers to keep going for so long, so Gege conveniently had all of the adults just not appear, killed off the Zenin clan, scrapped ainu society, and got completely rid of the US military once they served their purpose to Kenjaku because he knew their intervention would mess up everything even if they're nonsorcerers.

Zenin clan wasn't there because they hate the Gojo clan and want to see them lose, Naobito was only there for money, and the Gojo clan has very specifically been stated to only really be powerful because of the Six Eyes+Limitless alone, Satoru has most of the clan on his back. Kyoto was present at Shibuya, but Mechamaru literally said most of them should just stay back because they would get skill gapped effortlessly (They did.) Ainu society were stated to be isolated, but that's like the one thing you made a point on, which is his world building choices. Ainu society could still come into play, even though they most likely do not even like Tengen or anyone outside, the U.S military plotline was dropped because Gege realized it was too much to tackle and apologized. "Good guys need to be undermanned for the Shibuya incident to take place." Yes, since none of this is real, Gege purposefully written Night Parade and shown us Kenjaku working on his plan many chapters before Shibuya even started in order to justify why the good guys got beaten so badly.

​@@BIGVOLLEYBALLFAN9000 idk man i think the jujutsu world's inability to recognize danger properly gets ridiculous after a certain point even if it's filled with feuds between clans and its higher ups are meant to resemble real life politicians ;_; i guess the whole point of jjk is that the stars aligned in Kenjaku's favour and helped his plans come to fruition but absolutely EVERYONE sucks in such convenient ways for him that it's looking more like his success was not because of his own genius but his luck after 1000 years of mostly waiting i guess i won't question it any longer but i definitely don't like it either

[@BIGVOLLEYBALLFAN9000]

@@yodarusev There are numerous examples of real life people/groups of people that don't work together even though there is a common enemy because they hate each other. Satoru's birth forced curses and everyone else to get stronger/adapt to the limits of Jujutsu being broken quickly, which contributed to the inability to recognize danger. Kenjaku has basically admitted at times that he has gotten lucky, but a lot of stuff like making Yuji a vessel for Sukuna, convincing Sukuna to reincarnate, and the Culling Games were very obviously planned out and didn't need too much luck. His plan in general just took a lot of patience (Geto and Mahito eventually existing, making barriers for the Culling Games, understanding Jujutsu to the best of his capabilities) to actually work. Kenjaku is not like Aizen from Bleach or anything, he just gathered the right cards/hand, planned/worked on his big idea for years, and waited for the conditions to be right in order to play his hand. Even then, he could have done a lot of things without certain people and curses existing.

There’s a major lack of adults in Jjk just in general, everyone is either around Gojos age or Yujis age, there’s like no sorcerers in their early to mid 20’s, I know sorcerers are rare as Yujis class only had 3 students but clearly there was a major drought of sorcerers in that time period 😂

[@sparknarrater4821]

I think what you said about Mechamaru was a good point his plan was kind of stupid but I have problems with the rest 1 why the heck would a single sorcerer in this verse think gojo could lose at Shibuya unless they knew about both Kenjaku in Getos body and the prison realm which is knowledge that they didn’t have so by extension it also makes since that other Sorcerers weren’t there because everyone had good reason to think that gojo would have just cooked the curses keap in mind this is the guy who broke the power system by being born 2 we don’t know if Yukis domain is weaker than Yutas that is something you are making up yuki can also one shot Kenjakus curses with her normal punches yuta useing RCT would cost more energy and can burn out unlike yuki just punching them with her technique I do think yuta would have bean a better choice because his technique is better suited to the verity of things kenjaku can do but that is debatable so saying that sending yuki to fight kenjaku is bad planing is a little silly 3 ya Megumi making that assumption was dumb even he agreed with that but I should point out it’s not bad writing we had a year to think of this and no one to my Knowledge saw this coming in story he had a few days to think of it give him some credit 4 gojo more than anything is selfish despite being the strongest all the way back in hidden inventory he continued to push himself to higher heights he is in this for the thrill of the fight and wants to test his strength he would want to fight the strongest Sorcerer at his best also he chose that date specifically because that’s the date Geto died so he wanted to burry him on his anniversary 5 they didn’t even know Larue was coming how could they have they have planed that 6 yuta was gone dealing with Kenjaku and wasn’t back until Higuruma died if maki joined in she would have bean unable to jump Sukuna and stab his hart which nerfed him for the rest of the arc anyway that’s all I had to say sorry to anyone who took the time to read this whole thing I know it’s to long have a nice day

[@marshallfarstad3770]

Tbf it’s also a plot point that the higher ups in jujutsu kaisen that make all the decisions are incompetent or don’t care too much about non sorcerers. And that’s the whole reason why gojo is raising new kids to start a new generation. Part of why they didn’t send more sorcerers to shibuya is probably that they would have been happy if Gojo did get sealed or died. Gojo opposes all their decisions, and they also want to kill itadori. Sooo that sorta explains shibuya but everything else yeah

[@Amaterasu77306]

A lot of the jujutsu higher ups were bought out by geto, this is why geto had insights to everyone’s plan and why the sorcerers acted so incompetently. It’s also stated multiple times that the higher ups don’t have the best interests of the society in mind.

The fact the culling games could have been prevented if Gojo just fought the villains earlier makes the name even more fitting. It's just like the cell games/android saga. ?They could have prevented Android 17 & 18 from waking if they wanted to. Bulma even suggested it to them. Without the androids cell doesn't even make it to semi perfect form.

[@justaguyontheinternet3893]

Yuta having came earlier would’ve stopped pretty much everything. He could’ve used his RCT output in order to one shot all of the disaster curses so Gojo doesn’t get sealed, without Mahito the culling games don’t happen and thousands of people survive.

[@AnotherScroller]

@@justaguyontheinternet3893 Yuta wasn't late by one day. Shibuya Incident started at like 7:00 of Halloween. Gojo was sealed at 9:30. Ended at midnight. Quickly googling the distance from Kenya to Tokyo gives me results of 21 hours, 14 hours. Considering Yuta showed up less than a day after, he showed up as quickly as he could. Ui Ui's teleportation has caveats that requires a pre-setup, and Todo's teleportation just doesn't have the range. The fact Yuta showed up on November 1st and not like November 3rd was already a miracle. If Yuta was called the second Yuji made it clear Gojo was sealed (even though the assistant supervisors were wounded and unable to make those calls), then Yuta should have showed up at 11 AM, assuming the shortest flight time I googled (14h). He showed up even earlier. There is still no way to make it there instantaneously, and considering the event would end in 2 hours and 30 minutes after gojo's sealing... yeah, he's not making it in time.

[@swinzy0]

Gojo intentionally waited for Sukuna to get to his max power* so that he can have a fair fight. All Gojo wanted was to fight someone equal to him…so he let Sukuna be that someone. In his death he was happy. Because he lost. He was equally matched and could finally die in peace knowing at least one of his life’s wishes could be achieved

[@Smilisdfvsvsvdfbads3w]

Literally 90% of these reasons is you going "They should have done SOMETHING about this" when they literally CAN'T. like what do you mean there should be a backup plan in case gojo gets sealed in shibuya??? what the fuck COULD they do, if they sent somebody else with him or something they would have held gojo back and DIED. plus they had no idea about the shibuya plan, all they knew is it was just a massive veil over a city. they sent MORE than enough people there considering the context, just gojo would have been enough in 99% of situations

[@luxer_1012]

Its not even the bad planning, gege is just a sukuna meat rider

[@nameplease8811]

There was some important information involving the culling games is that… everyone was going in blind there was no grasp on there strength of the opponents, shibuya incident had the overconfident of… how could gojo lose thus the less amount of manpower that showed up there, battle against sukuna they had to make sure he didn’t just… you know leave after beating gojo so they couldn’t wait for yuta to show up, megumi did make some oversights during the culling games with assumptions but these happen and it’s clear that it was beyond a fuck up, battle against sukuna has 1 important mess up that happened up until yuta defeat of them trying to save megumi until they learn that megumi doesn’t want to be saved so most of there plans had flaws to them because of this (also love man was just being diffult only going to show up if he was garenteed to survive.) was it a perfect plan… no but the main problem with a lot of these incidents is overconfidence and lack of information.

[@nazeefarabi556]

allow me to explain the plannings regarding the shibuya incident 1. the binding vow to activate these mechamaru chips were probably made so that they will only work after his death and gojo getting sealed, also the reason why he did not leave a few chips during the good will event is likely that did not plan with kenjaku back then. 2. barriers could have been made using a binding vow so that it weakens after gojo entered in ruturn of being strong before and in return of other people being able to break them easily barrier specialists would have a harder time 3. you cannot have every sorcerer in the history in shibuya. it was stated that satoru does not have a good relationship with his his father that might be the reason that they did have anyone from that gojo clan the kamo clan was probably manipulated by kenjaku so they wont interfere. that leaves only a handful of adult sorcerers and the remaining members of the zenin clan do their job at other parts of japan and as you said a large number of sorcerers died the previous year. 4. the higher ups are corrupt and how they saw if they saw if they did what they said then gojo is either taken care of or the curses are taken care of both would be beneficial for them not to mention the civilians lives were less at risk as they saw it simply because they could not seen sukuna going wild

[@paledrake]

FUCKING THANK YOU! I can't stress how incompetent the protagonists are in this series.

[@Butterism]

I think the only one who gets a pass is Muta. I'm pretty sure the Binding Vow he did with Mahito physically prevented him from revealing anything about the plan to seal Gojo. Kenjaku would have taken it into account that _first_ thing Muta would do once the deal was complete was inform literally anyone about the Shibiya Plan. He 100% added in a "can't inform anyone about the plan to seal Gojo until _after_ Gojo is sealed. With this caveot in mind, Mechamaru made the best backup plan he could. He had to program the Mechamaru discs _around_ the binding vow. I think the better backup plan would have been, to hide from Mahito and Kenjaku and program a disc right after he was free from the vow. He would have been free to add in the "in case of my death" clause then. But I'm pretty sure he couldn't do it beforehand.
