Sukuna is just him

[@thee_psychotic_]

I love how the animators & directors showed how menacing and terrifying Sukuna is plus they gave jogo the sauce he needed. Plus the small detail that Toji learns that megumi is a fushiguro not a zen'in and that he cares in his own way if that makes sense 😅😢😂

[@rohan7382]

​@@xxreaperxx2086I agree

​@xxreaperxx2086 I truly doubt that you credit all of things you enjoy in your daily life so why point it out here?

[@sk.redstark]

@@WIsForWeaboo i get why you'd have that mindset but the difference here is this is actually long detailed hard worked that you are consuming (many for free) so basic decency is to credit the ACTUAL creators that gave u this entertainment, instead of the corp that is mistreating them. in a way imagine u have an abusive/neglectful parent & ur own hard work & talent at school goes underappreciated and the school goes "bless ur parent, shout out them" instead of appreciating YOU. just a minimised picture of it. So if u dont care to credit the actual makers at least dont double dismiss them with these replies

​@@mr.hakai3210gojo wouldn't hurt megumi, and I think toji knew that. I mean, both Gojo and Geto took care of Amanai when they knew that she was going to die doing merging with Tengen.

I think that white monster at the end came from Megumi. His most powerful summons perhaps that came out when his life was threatened. Don't reply if you're a manga reader please. I'm just speculating here

[@35rmiles]

Great video & great ep. I believe Megumi took his mother's name. Toji was truly a Zenin, but he took on his wife's name 'Fushiguro' once he left the clan. He was pleased to hear Megumi did the same and had a life separate from the Zenin.

wasn't a failure at all it didn't the best in blu ray sales but that's doesn't mean much the director himself came out and said csm was a complete success the reason we haven't gotten an announcement it is because a lot of the same team of animators that made csm are working on jjk s2 and haven't finished production plus it's still airing, as soon as they finish jjk they'll probably make an announcement on what exactly are the future plans for csm

I think it was to protect Megumi, I also don't think he had full control over his body- maybe he had, but I don't know.

The Seance technique would have kept him violent forever so he had to kill himself before he would have killed his son and others

[@suds3341]

He was essentially a zombie version of toji who was mindlessly attack the strongest person near him. Megumi caused him to have that flashback which seemed to awaken him for a second as after he puts the spear in his head we also see his eyes changed from black to white.

As much as I like Jogo's character, as he is among my top 5 most liked characters on the series, Jogo still sadistically killed multiple people, he is still a being created to cause suffering, Gojo genuinely acknowledges those who he thinks are deserving, Sukuna acknowledged Jogo bc he had no problems with killing innocent civilians while Gojo is very against that

[@sobek6735]

@@itapproaches3484 I’m not denying all the suffering jogo inflicted. While he’s definitely not in the right his goals of making curses the dominant life instead of humans is fueled by a lot of love for his fellow curses in addition to his hatred of humans. Compared to Mahito who I don’t think really cared about either and only sought to strengthen himself and torture people like yuji, jogo looks far more likable by comparison.

do you not even know that JJK and AOT are worked on by two seperate teams at MAPPA with almost no overlap? they don’t help each other. MAPPA is basically two major seperate studios just under the same name, one making JJK/ chainsaw man right after each other, and the other being the Hayashi team who went from Dorohedoro to AOT. Everything else, like vinyland saga are done by smaller teams they bring in specifically for that anime; or for anime like Hell’s Paradise, they give it almost entirely to chinese and i between studios and their lone second key and inbetween animators.
