Are Gojo and Geto Gay?

[@Your7T7]

Everything surrounding their relationship is just so intensely romantic (whether or not the love itself is romantic, this is undeniably true) that I can't help but interpret them as gay, or rather in love with each other regardless of what sexuality they align with. There is still plenty of evidence that you didn't go over, like the English translation of what Gojo says to Geto being almost directly confirmed as "I love you" by Gojo's English VA, and the visuals of Ao no Sumika, but even with just this video's worth of evidence it seems all but confirmed. It's incredibly frustrating to see people attempting to shoot down this idea off of plausible deniability; "it isn't confirmed therefore it isn't true", when this is not at all how human emotions work in real life. Your loved one could be suffering and not tell you, that doesn't mean that suffering doesn't exist. People treat emotional nuance in media the same way they treat POWER SCALING and that, to me at least, shows a COMPLETE lack of reading comprehension beyond the absolute surface level. Nuance is extremely important when tackling these kinds of topics as you point out in the video itself. I am not against anyone viewing these two as just the bestest, most closest, most huggiest of roommates, but I personally feel that it is just too overwhelmingly obvious what Gege WANTS you to think they are to each other to see it any other way myself. And as someone who idolizes romantic love as one of the most beautiful things a human being can experience, it just makes the story of Geto and Gojo all the more tragic and, for lack of a better word, beautiful in my eyes. I can never see Ao no Sumika as anything other than a love song, and that makes it pair especially nicely with SPECIALZ, which is from the perspective of Sukuna, the character most vehemently and vocally against love in the entire series. It further eccentuates the still ongoing conflict of ideals between Gojo and Sukuna on top of the literal battle they were having at the time of Season 2's release. "The one who will teach you about love is..!"

[@Your7T7]

@@mira.r Gojo's english VA was asked at a convention what Gojo's last words to Geto were. He responded "I've been sworn to secrecy on that" and "It was localized I'm allowed to say that, and I am allowed to say that it was three words". Since there are little to no combinations of 3 words that would make sense in the context OTHER THAN "I love you", there isn't much speculation to be had here. Some have said that maybe it was "my best friend" or "you're my friend", but neither of those make much sense as last words before murdering someone (with the former outright making no grammatical sense?), nor do either of those tackle the fact that what he said was LOCALIZED instead of just TRANSLATED (aka, it was changed to be more clearly understood by western english-speaking audiences). Given the many different words for and expressions of love in Japan, it makes sense that it would have to be localized to a simple "I love you" if that was the intended meaning of his original Japanese statement.

[@rajaryan-fe1oy]

@@mira.r it's not confirmed as far as I know, his English VA said Gojo told him 3 words before killing him, which could be anything on it's own but with all this combined, I'm leaning towards an I love You, even though to me personally Geto's reaction to that didn't sit very right, but it was so long ago we really don't know

Also, gojo felt untouchable by anyone else because no one could hurt him in any way, no one could come close to him with his power, literally, but geto was able to get through that, he was able to have power over gojo, the reason we hate falling in love is because it gives others too much power over us, so it was the only thing that could give anyone power over gojo, that’s why geto made him feel not as untouchable, not because he could actually rival him in power, but because he had that innate, unconditional power over him Also gojo lashing out in front of the KFC was like him threatening to leak geto’s nudes if he walked away

[@bitnn4703]

Personally, I don't think JJK is about romantic love. I think its about love in general. Familial Love, Romantic Love, The Love for a Friend. There's examples of all types of them. Maki's love for her sister, Choso's love for his Brothers, Yuta's love for Rika, Hana's love for Megumi, Yuji's love for his friends, Geto's Love for fellow Sorcerers. It was never about romantic love in specific. Even more specifically, its about how love is a curse, and how it leads to terrible things. Maki's love for her sister led to a massacre. Choso's love for his brother's led to his death, and to his own self esteem being beyond diminished. Yuta's love for Rika... well it literally cursed him. Hana's love for Megumi led to not only her own injuries, but to Megumi becoming Sukuna's vessel. Yuji's love for his friends led to him suffering immensely, and many of those friends dying or suffering. Geto's love for his fellow sorcerers led to him going down the wrong path in life. Not only that, but those who forsake love are rewarded. Sukuna, namely, but also characters like Kenjaku, Uraume, Kashimo, even some Jujutsu High students like Hakari forsake love in different ways. Even worse, the one who learned what love is, Kashimo, died as soon as he learned it. But... not nessecarily. The more the story goes on, the more this narrative begins to change. The more love becomes a blessing rather than a curse. And the more those who forsake it get cursed instead. Sukuna has gone though absolute hell, Kenjaku died as a result, Uraume and Hakari are locked in a stalemate, with no way to help their allies. But Kashimo... he got rewarded as well as punished, in a way. He died, but he died happy and fufilled. The more characters embrace their love for each other, the more they win against Sukuna. The closer victory is. And I believe the one spearheading this is Yuji. The one who suffered the most from it, is slowly beginning to flip it on its head. Slowly, but very surely.

[@jakob9323]

Very fitting sukuna is the final villain as he views love as useless and thats probably a big reason he hates itadori so much. He is the most loving character we see

[@personanonmaga5178]

that's a beautiful summary

[@unlimon6382]

I think it's more about how love relates to violence in difference ways. Many characters were not "cursed by love" so to speak because love is part of them, but when they loose it or it starts damaging them you start wondering at what point it stops being wprth it and what point it's better to become like sukuna. Then you have characters like Toji that work completely opposite but also the same. Toji grew unstable, scornful and desperate to prove his family wrong but, once he found love, he changed. Later on, when he lost that love, he went back to how he was before, and all these voids and insucurities led him to his death and abandoning his child. It makes you question what was the real curse. The lack of love or love. The best example is Megumi. Although Toji denies it, the most probable thing is that he did love Megumi, which he named his blessing. After his wife passed, however, he became unable to take care of a child. Many like to speculate it's because it was a reminder of his dead wife, which is rather likely. In that way, it ended up being a curse too. He was essentially a character both blessed and cursed by love, but also cursed by the lack of love We can't also ignore the fact that Geto, for example, also changed because of the careless way he was forced into aituations he shouldn't have been exposed to and not feeling supported, which can be a lack of love or at least a percieved lack of love. Then we have Mei Mei and her brother, in which she doesn't really love him but she takes advantage of his feelings to explait him. And there are examples like Gojo who became a better person through love even if he also suffered greatly because of it. That way, I don't think jjk is simply going from the premise of love as a curse, but more generally from how love as a concept changes or affects people in major ways. Including the loss of loved ones, the absence of love, the lies about love, the exploitation of your love, or more positive feelings like the blooming or the discovery of love

We know three things about the last thing Gojo said to Geto: 1. It's 3 words in English (confirmed by Gojo's EN VA). 2. It was spoken at some point in JJK 0 (stated by Gege in an interview). 3. Geto's responded to it by smiling and saying "at least curse me at the end." "I love you" consists of 3 words in English and was spoken by Yuta in an earlier scene. It also makes sense given Geto's response.

“My best friend” is also an option, apparently they didn’t mute it in the Italian (?) dub (I think it was Italian) and it said something like that. Ao No Sumika also seems to point at it being “Will we meet again?” but it’s not 3 words. Though an unofficial translation of the Light Novel gives the description that Gojo’s words were “embarrassing (translator’s note: makes you self conscious)” so it could definitely be something like “I love you”

[@TheCarrot85]

Also, the Japanese VA of Gojo said the line is "such embarassing/cheesy words" (Knowing Japanese culture, it would be something that directly displays some kind of love and emotion. Japanese finds that cheesy and embarrassing to say/hear from/to a loved one) I went through the entire English transcript of JJK 0, finding sentences that fits these 4 conditions "I love you." is the only answer

I also thought it was just to express the way Gojo was fixated on Geto, in his eyes he was the only one sharing the same world with Gojo, love, romance whatever Geto was his world for all purposes. Gojo might not even understand what love is as hinted to, he just knew that Geto was the only one to ever understand him, love might not even be enough to describe it, romantic or not.

I personally think it ruins a bit of the symbolism behind these 2 , ever since day 1 , gojo was told he was the strongest, he was told he was the reason the balance of humans and curses in jjk shifted , he was pretty much treated like a god and kept away from the outside world by his clan , but then , when he met geto , he could finally have someone just strong enough to relate to , and the thing is , geto pulled gojo down to earth , geto was a special grade who grew up in a family of non-sorcerers , he wasnt raised and treated like a god , he didnt turn out to be arrogant , he was Humble, that is what helped geto change gojo in a way you know ? Geto was the Bridge between gojo and his humanity , because gojo didnt belive he could have such a thing when ever since day 1 he was treated like a god and a tool , so them being BFFS , at least me , makes way more sense , and yes , i can acknowledge that gojo and geto do share such a deep bond that not many BFFs have , but i see it as platonic love , that they saw eachother as brothers .

Finally, someone said it! I'm so fucking happy someone said this outloud in a public platform such as youtube. You literally said all the points that me and (some of) my friends have made among ourselves. What I've come to notice is that most people who see Gojo and Geto as queer are queer viewers - I speak as a sapphic woman. My queer friends and I think that Gojo and Geto's romantic feelings were obvious, meanwhile my straight friends and older brother don't really see it (they usually they accept other interpretations, but I'm highly aware that this is something that is not that common among the JJK fandom, my friends are just very open minded). I think queer people grew up looking for representation between the lines, so we are used to this type of situations; while staight people are used to have everything presentend to them on a plate, which makes them less accustomed to subtle romantic plotlines such as this. Also, thank you for pointing out the differences between the american/canadian/european and japanese views on lgbtq+ rights. In the West, we tend to forget that our morals and ways of thinking are not universal. It's safest for the mangaka for the characters' sexualities or genders to be vague, if they wish to make a story with a queer subplot - it's not ideal, but it's the reality. Hopefully, in a decade or two, japanese mentality and laws will change and queer people like me won't be called insane for seeing the obvious. Great video, I'll check out your other stuff!

@@yulimartorrealba5851 So the opening is pretty clearly a love song going as far as to use the romantic word for love (koi) in japanese. Its also very clearly about Gojo's teenage years, and implied to be a sort of letter to Geto, the same way the ending is from Geto to Gojo about his defection from Jujutsu high. Ive actually done an analysis of both songs and god its crazy how much love symbolism is in there 😭 The fighting fish, or betta fish symbolism, is about the fishes that are shown in the ending (i think, maybe the OP). They represent Gojo and Geto, being both white at the start before one of them darkens and becomes "sick". The reason they are betta/fighting fish is because two males of the species cannot be together since theyre extremely territorial and one will end up killing the other for dominance.... Also, when the black fish is in front of Gojo, he cant help but stare at it, but Geto closes his eyes and ignore the white fish passing in front of him, showing how their relationship is decaying over time for Geto but Gojo is kind of oblivious to it. Yeah its pretty sad :(

someone pointed out that gojo has remembered geto for longer than he had actually spent time with him and I fell to my knees. if you think about it, they didn't even spend that much time with each other, they spent maybe 3 years actually together. and gojo spends the next decade remembering geto. in season 2, star plasma vessel arc they were in their 2nd year which was 2006. In 2007, the next year Geto starts his murder spree and cult. he never even graduated from jjk high, so they were very much still in school. So from only 2004/2005ish-2007, is how long they *actually* spent together. Gojo then procedes to just have to remember Geto from 2007 to 2017 when he ended up killing Geto. If you think about it, it's like how could they even be so sure of who the other is, and why do they keep refering to each other as best friends even when they both haven't even seen the other in a while? I can't take this as platonic because to *ME* there's something more here than just friendship. To me, it's like they're both holding onto a love from days gone by. And its something that only works because they're still hung up on each other. If they weren't they would've just killed each other by now, they wouldn't have waited 10 years waiting.

Regardless of how romantic that love they have is, the fact that it is so intense, that it is so defining to both of them is kind of what is more important, at least to me, about their story. It's easy to write off anyone who says they are gay as just being fujos obsessed with making any closely involved male characters butt buddies but as this video points out there is more than enough to argue that there's a lot more to it. And it's easy to write off anyone who says they're just friends as just being homophobic but there is a certain level of beauty that exists within two people platonically loving and caring for each other so deeply and I think it's genuinely important to have representation of deep love between two people of the same sex that doesn't just come down to being romantically involved since not all love that is deep has to be romantic.

The theme of them longing for each other but being pushed away by fate is so heart-wrenching. If nothing else, it's a poignant reminder of how ephemeral existence is and how helpless even the strongest can feel when they cannot stop the most important thing from just seeping through their fingers. Fun fact, the street their 'KFC break-up' happens in is called Omoide Yokocho (思い出横丁), which can be translated to 'Memory Lane'. Also, after the latest manga chapters, the other Gojo's image song (Mada Minu Ashita ni by Asian Kung-Fu Generation) feels even more prophetic in how it portrayed the dynamics of these two.

[@bubsbuben914]

Something I do not think is discussed about enough is how a lot of people who vehemently say they're not lovers are usually comparing it to their real relationships and are uncomfortable with mlm relationships with characters they like. It's a huge problem in shonen communities where many people feel uncomfortable with gay relationships because they hate the idea that one could perhaps see them as such

[@Facials75]

Honestly I don’t think that’s why people don’t really like mlm, yaoi and yuri is very fetishized and a lot of shippers take over said community and fill it with mostly just ships of wlw and mlm, and with how much it is shown in communities and etc. it can get annoying very annoying

One moment in the show that might relate to this topic is how Gojo's students didn't even know what he truly looked like until after he killed Geto. Like showing that his students didnt know anything really about him as he didnt know what to do with his feelings until after its to late to go back

[@raec5426]

I was going through most of this video with so many thoughts but the way you ended it made me like it so much more, I appreciate the fact that you didn't just call the non - shippers stupid and move on with it slapping them with the hints layered throughout the series, cuz really, it's not anyone's fault for not knowing 24th December is Valentine's Day in Japan or that KFC is a romantic food item (that shit still blows my fucking mind man, Gege you sneaky little....). I think people who've read the story and had the impression that they were best friends don't deserve to have their view forcefully changed, because in the end, they had just as much emotional attachment to their friendship as someone who interpreted otherwise had to their romance, saying things like, that would just make their story better and more tragic (Mother's Basement said that in his OP analysis where I first found out about all this) is a little disingenuous as in my opinion friendship and romance are separate drives and one doesn't have to invalidate the other, having romance in a relationship doesn't automatically make it more, and it kinda sucks to see that implied so many times in stories and social media, even subtly with phrases like, "more than friends" or "just friends", I might just be saying all this as an aromantic who barely experiences one of those feelings but alot of my friends share the same opinion. And same goes for the people wanting them to be gay, I believe both sides can just simply, accept a different opinion and even appreciate the fact that a form of art they love is nuanced enough to be open to interpretation.

[@SemekiIzuio]

As another aro ace you totally get me. Theres alot of implications sure but nothings been confirmed so it can be left as it is to the person that fits best for them either frienship or more. It is smart not to confirm anything because it would absolutely destroy and chaos to the manga and characters considering how much of an Icon Gojo is and how globally popular JJK is to the point its very dangerous. But still I personally would just like an answer just so that everyone gets their answers and this speculation hinting obviousness gets put to rest. I can imagine after JJK is over people will still wonder.

[@mira.r]

As someone who isn't aromantic but hasn't experienced any romantic attraction yet, is romance not "more" than friendship? I feel like it genuinely means a relationship with more intimacy, affection, loyalty, and closeness than friendship right? There are some things you could admit to your beloved but not to your closest friend. Though, I suppose you would consider your closest friend something akin to your beloved..? Also, I feel like phrases like "more than friends" and the like just refer to romance having more intimacy and stuff than friendship, not that it's more meaningful or superior to it. Sorry for the rambling; I'm genuinely curious about how you would view these types of things. I hope I didn't offend you in any of this 🥹

[@rajaryan-fe1oy]

@@mira.r Oh no I'm absolutely not offended, I myself wrote this in curiosity of others' opinions as well. I personally believe (funny coming from me) that even though relationships are generally prefered with the closest friends and have the potential to greatly enchance the bond between two people due to all the time and things they get together, making it a general estimate is still something I wouldn't agree with, I think people are perfecttly capable of making friends they share very close bonds with without any form of intimicy or romance, just like they're capable to getting into potentially bad relationships, and when it comes to things like secrets, my friends pretty much all there is to know about me and I would like to believe it goes both ways :D. With phrases like "just friends", it is possible they don't imply superiority, I obviously don't know the origin of these and shouldn't have implied otherwise. But I stil believe, especially in western moveies, that friendships between people who have the potential to be attracted to each other is often sidelines in favour of their romance, Harry and Hermonie from the Harry Potter movies comes to mind (not to say she should've ended with Ron), and I just personally don't like to see that.

I think the most interesting possibility is that their relationship was neither "friendship" not romantic.

It's like two people being stranded on an island together; even if they come to love one another, first and foremost they needed each other to stay sane. That's my take at least.

[@quo9138]

finally someone who gets it. geto was the first person gojo didn't see as an animal, its not that they had love between them, it's that he was his only equal. this also parallels to Gojo teaching Sukuna about love- them 2 aren't IN love, it's just that they're the only 2 creatures on each other's level.

Perhaps my asexuality is colouring things for me, but I think they had romantic love for each other, just without the physical aspects.

[@Sienisota]

Not saying physical was out of bounds, just that that it wasn’t the part that was most important to them.

I think he's blowing it out proportion because there has been gay protagonists in shounen before. Also, the theory of Gege insinuating them being gay falls apart considering they were admiring Waka Inoue's tits on Gojo's flip phone. If you want to subtly insinuate something, you gotta be consistent. And OP lyrics, really? Gege had no say in the lyrics of this song, considering it canon is wild to me. Only Gege has a say what is truly canon or not, not some songewirter or anime director.

@@LittleSparklingStars Gege has said the anime expands on things he didn't have time to write in the manga, and he has been an active part during the writing of the anime. Junpei's backstory, for example, was something Gege really wanted to flesh out more, and said he was glad he got to do that for the anime. This wasn't a case of author selling the rights to some animator. Gege had given out a copy of JJK to his favourite animator even before jjk had hit big, saying that if there ever was going to be an anime, Gege wanted him to be the one who animates it. Gege has been fully involved and approved everything put into the anime.

[@Sienisota]

@@LittleSparklingStars As to tits... If you are *actively* hiding in the closet, you make sure to talk about tits to your buddies so they don't suspect anything. Especially in countries like Japan, where image is everything. Plus looking at an image of a pretty girl while ignoring Riko was a deliberate joke on her expense. Canonically, according to the author, Satoru Gojo is afraid of women. Suguru Geto was more desired by ladies because his personality was less abrasive than Gojo's. I did say I thought they didn't actually DO anything, right? Because that is how it comes off: As teens who might’ve explored things if their lives weren't in constant danger, and if Japan wasn't judgemental about gays. Compare to Naruto and Sasuke for example: Despite having a bit fan service sprinkled in for the yaoi fans (in the manga), it was always obvious they were interested in women and had their own female love interests. Gojo's and Geto's relationship seems to include genuine like, love and respect each other. They have never shown any interest in women around them and have no known history of girlfriends, not even Geto, who Canonically is more popular with the ladies. We have no confirmation on Gojo's or Geto's sexuality, or lack of thereof. Arguing over individual interpretations is silly: Don't like this type of interpretation? Don't consume content that likes it.

[@ShaudL]

Something that a lot of people don’t think heavy into is that Sukuna speaks on not needing to be taught what love is; as he already knows. However, he believes he was the wrong one got the lesson. I think this was a meta way to say Gojo needed to understand what love is. He lost it and his understanding of it with Geto. Geto was Gojo’s heart, and he took it with him.

Gojo shaped his life as a teacher to not repeat the story again, give Megumi two friends because he did not wanted he ended alone like him. He took teen Geto's morals to heart and lived by it. They love each other maybe in ways they as kids did not understand. My heart ache every single time. Gege did in fact wrote a love story, love in so many shapes and layers just like irl.

thank you for this video, i just never have the energy to debate this online but you just explained it so well, thank you so much

[@deatricearanelabellagar1633]

Expected a fujoshi rant, but it was way more in-depth and eye opening than I ever expected. The deep dive into the Japanese love culture and how media and mangakas deals with LGBT content was such an unexpected but much needed commentary, that I thank you for broadening my world view... While watching JJK I did think they were soul mates and were lost without each other, more than just friends or even lovers. But with everything you presented especially the OST part, I will look at at them again when I rewatch JJK when s03 comes out just to break my heart even more knowing all this

Theyre literally soulmates. I can see them being romantic, or platonic but either way no one will ever convince me that they are not soulmates.

Dude, thank you for making this video.

"...and there's only one thing that gets me through it all, and that's knowing that you're here beside me... In a platonic waayyyy????" "If it's platonic, it's REALLY intense."

Gojo's censored last words to Geto seemingly mouth "I love you". Gojo defiantly has to be Bisexual considering he has all the evidence to love Geto (a man) and has said himself in a Juju short he's into bubbly positive girls (e.g. Miwa), he has also been stated he doesn't have a girlfriend because he wouldn't be loyal.

i love your essay style or writing voice. it's giving they/them and im here for it OTL this may be my favourite video on the internet right now?? and not just because of what ur saying(even if ur right about all of it) but also bc of the perfect way you delivered it?

[@bombomyu]

You put this so well together, unlike other popular gay ships in shonen for example sasunaru, which is unintentionally and accidentally kinda gay but none of the characters are aware because they might not meant to be written that way (thats why there are jokes about how shonen authors suck at writing straight romance but unintentionally wrote the best gay love story). On the other hand, satosugu though... it's intentional, not in a queerbaiting way, but a vital part to the plot and gojo's character. Also especially I'm sure gojo himself is very much aware of what he's feeling, he's intentionally written like that. I really agree with 11:11 because it's also my headcanon it's really fitting to the situation and that's what makes satosugu so complex and more painful. Tragic indeed. I feel like, dare I say, even though there are other romance subplots in jjk, but if we take satosugu context as romance, it's is the deepest one(?), more refined and explored, albeit vaguely, well because gojo and geto are very impactful in the story. I may be a shipper but I am still healthy enough (lol) to differentiate something that is explicitly canon, subtext, or headcanon. Sometimes some people tend to overanalyze. Thank you for the video, I love this! I'm glad I found this on reddit, I like that you're trying to be as objective as possible.

Happy Pride month fantastic video as always dude!

[@memelordkai6829]

7:21 is likely incorrect. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think a voice actor said in an interview that the English translation of Gojo’s last words to Geto was a three word phrase. That probably implies it was ‘I love you’. The JJK0 light novel also describes it as ‘Such embarrassing words, never said before even when they were students.’ The original Japanese that’s translated as ‘embarrassing’ roughly means ‘makes you self-conscious’.

[@minismallists]

I thought it was "I love you" cause I read gojo's lips

[@Iameepytired]

@@minismallistsplus something that the English va for geto said (although purposely phrased to be vague) is really making me think that’s the case

[@syakiraalessandra7447]

​@@minismallists gege said that the words have been said by gojo before in jjk 0, he never said "I love you"

[@syakiraalessandra7447]

It's 3 words with a comma in the middle, like "_ _, _"

[@syakiraalessandra7447]

3 worded sentences gojo have said including: "you'll be lonely", "come on in", " just be careful ", "that's about it", " you did it", "those old fools" "how's it going" "we'll meet again" honorary mention: he said "welcome home". The only 2 worded sentence he said, I think his last words to suguru were " welcome home, suguru" or "we'll reunite, right?" Idk though

[@maddykun7852]

I absolutely LOVE that you brought up Steven Universe because it getting canceled over a wedding was tragic

[@alanfletes1427]

Gege plotted so hard on the gay subtext that he dried out of.creativity and fumbled the end

[@KatoViegas]

I see jjk as like the most homo manga I’ve ever read. There are so many gay scenes you can say, and so many different characters that people have gay ships with. To list a few I wouldn’t mind if they were cannon and would actually support are, satosugu, Itafushi, and nobamaki. They all have their scenes that make it actually have sense to it. Especially satosugu. This whole video proved it pretty much cannon. But thing like Itafushi, which have little things that they do for eachother, and how megumi could even tell yuji was feeling down at the exchange event? He asked if he was ok cause he cares. Yes a friend can do that too, but I just see it differently.

[@eyegoat33]

Bro why did this video make me cry 😭

[@emma_nutella58]

All I can say is that they both really do love each other whether it he gay or not is up to us

[@DanS044]

As an essay, this video is excellent And of course it’s easier to describe and argue for something that does exist

[@ishitok-136]

This essay ate me up so hard- I loved it tysm for making this
