I wouldn’t mind a Sukuna W. But he won’t. He made the same mistake Toji made. Sukuna abandoned his originally mentality and is trying to prove something. He will be Toji 2.0

[@MarianaBello-fq3hx]

Basically. Yuji has always been something Sukuna tried to shrug off even tho it makes no sense considering he has admiration for strong people. The moment he couldn't run away anymore from the fact that Yuji is worthy of respect and tried to ignore his entire philosphy in order to be a hater and prove something, he lost.

It’s not a case of comparison but rather a case of a persons philosophy and way of live being genuinely challenged for the first time in possibly thousands of years with the potential of them actually being proven wrong. Sukuna basically now wants to destroy Itadori and his ideals as to prove himself right in that his way of thinking is the correct one rather than accept the possibility that it’s not the end all be all

The bigger the pride, the bigger the fall, as they say. First, Sukuna admits that Yuji's soul is indomitable and unbreakable. No matter how many times Yuji is pushed down, he'll always bring himself back up. But then, Sukuna still claims that he'll break him, nonetheless. He's seemingly blinding himself by his own hatred towards Yuji, and that will fortunately be his downfall.

[@jeff3221]

Exactly. I loved most of the fight, but that ending kills it for me. Obviously, Gojo was going to lose. That doesn't mean that how he loses doesn't have any weight. He was going blow for blow against Sukana, and the last time we see the two, Gojo has even been declared THE WINNER. Then he's just dead. Fake outs are good for shock and for comedy, they are incredibly risky when finishing up a fight that was built up from day 1 of the Manga. Imagine if Endgame had finished with Thanos just misfiring the Gauntlet, like this version didn't have the resolve to use it. Everyone would just be standing around like "did we just win? That was easy!" Would you have expected Thanos to lose this time around? Of course. Would you have expected him to lose in such a shocking and bizarre fashion that undercut the payoff? Probably not!

They will fail in the long run Even if it takes another 1,000 years. They will be destroyed. The good guys are cogs in the machine, if you break one they will be replaced The villains try and take it all as a throne, to be the ones in control or to affect it all But the machine always rebuilds

Which is not true at all. Jjk is based on sorcery and if you're not from Japan you won't know Sorcery itself is a bad thing. Yuuji's mentality will not be a thing. Villains will win and it will be the end.

[@GothamThotSlayer]

@GigaNiga483 yes. Sukunas win is "meaningful" and "insightful" all because he's stronger even tho he has no ideals. He might one of the coolest villains out there but he's also one of the most boring. Sukuna's victory along with the merger destroying humanity is the most half assed and laziest ending I've seen in shonen. It would make AOT's ending look Oscar worthy. Get over yourself about this survival of the fittest mentality. It's outdated and lame. And a weak excuse to let Sukuna win with that alone. Man the fandom has really lost it nowadays

As I interesting as it sounds, Sukuna winning would be the most nihilistic way to end the series.

I dont think itll be power up based Yuuji thats end Sukuna but that of words and wills, ofc they are still going to clash to try and break each other down but Yuuji will get back up and Sukuna will grow more and more restless to match him.

Would still be realistic and get the message across though. Same thing happens in real life. Alot of sacrifices but Usually the good guys win, or atleast keep the balance leaning towards their side. Its just the strength of their ideals hold so much more weight then selfishness and evil ever can. Only something like said in the video a "twist on selflessness" like kenjaku is doing can somewhat rival true selflessness and ideals. But they still lose too, Because deep down, the "Twisted" know they are wrong.

@@staarfinger7322 Sukuna is falling victim to what he told Jogo was his downfall, he's comparing himself to others, and questioning himself. He was able to live all his life doing as he told Kashimo, killing and playing with lives to just fill his time endlessly, but in this chapter he explains the reasoning for that. Its because he was never able to understand them, its not just that people never understood Sukuna, its that he never understood them either, their thoughts, ambitions, wishes and will, all of that was just last words of the fallen to him, and he couldn't even tell if they themselves believed it, or if it was a dying breath effort to make themselves feel better. With Yuji however, their souls were together so much he fully understands everything about him, he knows his will, his wishes and ambitions, he knows how strong they are and how deep they go, this is why he's so peeved, because he knows unlike Kashimo, unlike Gojo, unlike Jogo, he can't take and break down Yuji's ideals, because no matter what he tries, Yuji will get back up until he dies, and if Yuji dies with his ideals unbroken, Sukuna will feel like he lost. He's straying from his idea that you should kill when you want, destroy what you want and take what you want, and instead focusing all his effort on a clash of will between him and Yuji, he's betraying his own ideals because Yuji has, in Sukuna's own words, changed him since 1000 years ago. This will be the reason he loses, the set up is very clear, it likely won't be a straight "Oh Yuji gets 7000x stronger and kills him", the ideological clash, combined with the fact that Sukuna is very much weaker (it took him a whole chapter to rct a hand lmao, as much as people meme that Gojo and Kashimo didn't do anything but make him stronger, he doesn't have infinite cursed energy, this is a gauntlet to tire the king enough that either they kill him or Megumi can start wrestling for control, Kashimo took his 1 up, and Gojo took a ton of his stamina), will be his downfall

[@HollowG8]

Sukuna is like Toji in the same that Gojo is like Toji, they are characters who represent the idea that supreme confidence in oneself can bring oneself to heights beyond anyone else. Where they differ though, is that Toji left behind everything, and left the world as nothing but a lingering will. His last act was for the future, almost as a form of repentance for his sins in life. He lost to Gojo in the end because Gojo was the new "peak", the high he was in completely isolated him to all of the world's woes. He became more than man for that brief time after experiencing the euphoria of ressurrection, something no "man" could hope to understand. Gojo was different because he knew the consequences of such a life, what happens when you leave behind your friends. When you forget the future, in this case Geto, it may be left for worse. That's why Gojo lived as he did, as if he were a contradiction. He lived for the future, for the people who he shared the world with. He was misunderstood because no one could hope to understand him, he was almost inhuman. Sukuna, then, is the apex. He beat Gojo because he only ever considered himself. Whether it be in battle or in life, Sukuna only cared for his own enjoyment. His power comes from an endless hunger, one he is eager to fill whenever possible. Even in the face of someone like himself, the gap between them is astronomical. Unlike Toji and Gojo, Sukuna forsake humanity for complete isolation from the world (then he got the power to "cut the world"). Past, Present, and Future; to Sukuna, they're all the same. Nice analysis, lots of food for thought, Hundred.

[@JoshQwerty]

Thoughts on sukuna’s ideology being a self-imposed curse. Recently his ideals were framed in the same way that curses are typically portrayed(black background and white text.) 🧐 It’s such a cool idea that i’ve seen in this weeks discourse :)

[@leonaise7546]

Can you explain these “curses” to me?

[@JoshQwerty]

@@leonaise7546 Idk about how it was portrayed in the anime, but in the manga curses are typically depicted with black narration boxes, and the dialogue inside them are usually words that were departed by those who died. For example itadori’s grandpa telling him to save people and that when he dies, he should be surrounded by others. Or for Maki, her sister mai telling her to destroy everything ( in reference to the zenin clan). Nanami departing words : Atoha Tanomimasu (which translates to "I leave the rest to you/ You take it from here/ You got it from here"). Words meant to inspire yuji to finish off mahito and the rest of the cursed spirits attacking at shibuya. Even Toji had a black narration box indicating a curse, from his wife to “Take Care of Megumi, Okay?” which likely inspired him to sell him off to the Zenin clan where he’d be protected and nurtured despite his qualms with the clan because of how they treated him in the past. These curses act as motivating factors for a multitude of characters to keep moving forward. Throughout the story there have been multiple instances of Yuji pushing through obstacles and tragedy’s because of the curses that have been imparted to him. (Funny how he’s the vessel for the king of the curses but it seems like he’s collecting so many curses himself.) In the recent chapter Sukuna’s dialogue about how he lives his life which are the same words he even reiterated to Kashimo during their fights, is something that he’s starting to question w/ the recent events. Funnily enough these same words that summarize sukuna’s whole ideology are depicted in this same black narration box style. Interesting idea that maybe even self-imposed mindsets and worldviews can be a curse in itself. One might say that Sukuna’s Self-indulgent personality could be a form of self love and quoting det_critics from twitter, “Love is the most twisted curse of them all -Gojo Satoru.”

[@Subpar1O1]

I can't understand how people could honestly see Sukuna winning as "peak fiction". Really, that's the route they want the story to go down? Just because it does what other shonen wouldn't, doesn't mean that it's a good idea. I would at most accept an ending where Yuji is the last one left alive at the end of it all, and even then that's kind of unsatisfying. I'm not one for looking deep into stories and picking apart things like this but I like JJK for its characters above all else. I don't want more characters being written out of the story if their death means jack shit

For Sukuna , killing others is as natural as breathing, while some weakling standing against him is disgusting or "unnatural" to him. For Yuji, it's the responsibilities on his shoulders that he must carry out and give his best in every situation and it's Sukuna that is "unnatural" to him, someone that must die otherwise everyone else will suffer. For Sukuna, Yuji is the bad guy and for Yuji, Sukuna is the bad guy. Up until now, Sukuna has always praised the strong and insulted the weak. He even acknowledged the fact that Yuji had gotten much stronger (as of chap. 248). Sukuna is not the villain of the story because he keeps on killing the main cast and other humans, but because Yuji sees him as a villain. In his own rights, Sukuna is the hero of the story. Us viewers/readers relate to Yuji as "the hero" because he is a human and has human conscience, and relate Sukuna to "the villlain" because he has no human conscience. So, even if Sukuna DOES win, it will be a correct outcome. And if Yuji wins..... well then we say "the hero" always wins.

Great video Hundred, confession I've always felt you were a Gojo hater and Sukuna stan but your analysis of both characters here for me was top notch, how you broke down Gojo as cautionary tale of the pitfalls of being hyper independent/competent was sublime man and Sukuna being the same but a complete Monster was a really good observation.

[@Impulse_Intent]

Smalll thing here but @12:50 I disagree with notion that we don’t need to promote selfishness winning in the end. I’ll keep it brief as possible but everyone is at a different perspective in life and some people just need something to get them moving. Kinda like Yuji in Shibuya he still has some character development left but at the time as you pointed out todo’s words got him thru that the same can be said for people like sukuna. More on a personal note but ppl like sukuna and gojo are the reasons I started to better myself as a person they are the reason I took that first step now after I did improve I came to find that they had flaws in that thinking like you pointed out but it’s important to balance selfishness and selflessness. I got off topic at the end there but while It doesn’t have to be this story it’s important to have new perspectives of old concepts at all times in society or even a reminder how the old concepts. The world is a living breathing thing and we the inhabitants are the neurons that reinforce it this can be a destructive force or a creative force sometimes you don’t have control of what you are at first but everything has a purpose to put you where you must be but we must find balance in the world. Sorry if it seems like a ramble.

The people huffing the Gojopium are pissing me off a lot.

Gojo's battle is not over as long as his students can prove his hopes right. They can beat Sukuna.

[@lionheart4424]

BEAUTIFUL ANALYSIS! Great job. I don't read the manga (though I have been spoiled because of course) but I was just thinking about Sukuna killing everyone including Yuji. I don't want to happen but I would let it pass if Sukuna winning would bring his downfall in some weird way. But at this point really does not make sense.

Love the breakdown video and i wholeheartedly agree with you. And to those who disagree; have yall even given thought what happens after Sukuna "wins"? He has to beat the merger or the world ends. Yall really think hes coming out unscathed after being jumped by everyone? NO WAY he comfortably has a chance of defeating Merger Tengen post culling game. And if he loses, the world basically burns leaving an ending so empty it will make AOT's ending look god-like. So many character arcs will be ruined and it would have made reading JJK pointless. I dont care about who survives in the end or not. I just feel like ending with Sukuna's victory thematically doesnt make sense. PS. I would have said the same thing if Gojo beat Sukuna instead(it needs to thematically work for the story to flow)

[@Jrsweezie]

First off this vid articulated some very interesting ideas and points honestly good job with that. Second, I think your point about people being upset that their self insert character died is very poignant. People want to feel vindicated about Gojo and by proxy themselves. By him defeating Sukuna and proving he is the most powerful. But thematically it didn’t make sense for this selfish vs selflessness ideal. I also believe the key for Yuji and the gang winning will be Yuji disarming his cog philosophy and realizing his self worth as a person alongside his comrades.

There will never be a modern manga that will have the villan win. Writers are to scared, or get told by the higher ups to not do that.

There is no narrative indication that this is going to happen. They have set up Yuji, Yuta, and Maki (and potentially Megumi and Gojo if they somehow survive-Gojo at half power because of RCT and Megumi with a full understanding of the 10 shadows) as those who will face Tengen. My speculation is that Sukuna will activate Tengen if things go left or he is near death. So it could end up with Sukuna fighting alongside the new powerhouses.

[@mynameisup1]

In the end it will be Yuji vs Sukuna. Sukuna will kill everybody Yuji knew and love, proving that strength comes from selfishness and a strong sense of self and one’s ideals while ignoring everybody else, putting yourself and only yourself first. Sukuna will think he won and destroyed Yuji ideals and spirit but just as Sukuna said Yujis will/soul is as strong as his and so Yuji will carry everbody that has died will and live for them despite losing them all, gaining strength from selflessness defeating Sukuna proving his ideals is wrong. Strength wise I assume before all the sorcerers die Sukuna will be somewhat weakened and Yuji will be able to use Sukuna technique along with any power he may have gained from consuming the cursed wombs and use of control over the soul he learned from Yukis book, defeating Sukuna. And as we know in JJK nobody reaches their goal and so Yuji will be left by himself and die surrounded by no one.

i believe that yuji will be put in a situation where he is pushed and pushed until he finally abandons the curse that his grandpa placed on him and decides to fight, act and in a broader sense even live the way he wants to (selfishly) which will lead to him to gaining insane amounts of power that will help him defeat sukuna only for him to poetically take sukunas place as the strongest with little to no competition
