The tragedy is, Geto knows he's in the wrong on some level. It's why he has to "keep telling himself he hates monkeys". But in a helpless and awful situation, he chooses the path that gives him self-affirmation and a sense of purpose/conviction, that there's a "meaning" to his killing. It's also why he tells Gojo that if he tried to kill Geto, that there would be meaning to that too, he understands why Gojo would kill him as part of Gojo's conviction. JJK is all about what you choose to live for, and die for.

[@wyvern7456]

i always imagined that the story between gojo and geto was a metaphor for depression and suicide. the depression is quite obvious, geto starts having these malevolent thoughts, clearly showing signs of distress (gojo asking geto if he's been losing weight). geto's last words to gojo were something along the lines of "in a world like this, i couldn't find a way to be happy from the bottom of my heart." i believe that geto knew deep down that his beliefs were wrong, and his goals were impossible. he knew that if he followed his envisioned path, it would surely lead to his death. even still, geto chose this death over having to live in a world where he can no longer find meaning. the story between gojo and geto is one of love, and tragedy; the tragedy of not being able to save a friend.

[@art4anj]

Geto’s ideology shift reminds me of 2 people: Yu Yu Hakusho’s Sensui - a spirit detective protecting humans from demons THEN seeing the cruelty of humans with demons X-men Magneto - living among humans THEN seeing humanity's fear & therefore cruelty against mutants

[@Flowermedal]

Seeing how Gege is a huge fan of Togashi's work, I think it's safe to say that Sensui was a major inspiration for Geto. Both great characters and I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw a bit of Magneto in Geto as well

[@art4anj]

[@jes_5689]

another side we have to understand here is when all this happened geto was just a teenager. a literal kid. he obviously suffered from major depression and mania but never received the support he needed. he also seem to affected by separation anxiety. he never got the guidance or any help from a responsible adult to stop him falling into a deep into the darkness. there was no "gojo sensei" like the main trio does that can speak up or look after the youth back then. gojo knows this, first hand experience. gojo was a kid himself probably understood it too late. that one sentence from the OP which is gojo's pv on geto says "the asphalt ground was echoing the chorus of cicadas, it prevented me from hearing your silence" I think gojo was thinking everything is fine as long as they were together and that happiness of geto being there, even if he was busy with missions probably not seeing him as much overshadowed geto's drifting self to gojo. Yaga on the other hand definitely guilty and failed as a teacher cause after geto defected (too late old man) having those interviews asking the purpose of being a jujutsu sorcerer from new students became a thing for him. And gojo became a teacher to "protect the youth" "change the system". whenever yuji swallows sukuna's fingers it always remind me how geto had to absorb all those horrible tasting curses at the same age probably since even younger age. geto's fate was doomed from the very beginning.

I like this, this is why Gojo behaves goofy and carefree for his students to enjoy their time and youth. He knows they could die at any time, he knows theyre too young to die. They should be able to enjoy baseball shopping eating out and having fun at an arcade. Even though he fails as a "teacher" hes not strict on them to act like sorcerers. If he reprimanded them constantly reminded them that they are sorcerers and can die any time thats very depressing, they are aware of it dont need to be reminded.

[@さくら-l8t]

It also doesn’t help that kenjaku already had its sights set on getou when he was still a student. This means that even if, in some alternate universe, getou managed to retain his sanity and become a teacher, he would have probably still become a villain sooner or later by kenjaku.

[@peteryang2067]

The motivation behind Geto's action isn't necessarily the defending of the "weak". But by the nature of Geto's personality, he empathizes with the weak and seeks out their well-being, which become his tragic downfall. In creative writing, the use of power systems within a fictional universe is not just for entertainment purposes. The abilities that are given to a particular character are writing techniques utilized to draw out a character's personality traits. For example, Toph in Avatar the Last Airbender has the ability to control earth/rocks. Rocks are hard and heavy, Toph's character is stubborn and hard-headed; her powers reflect her character traits. Geto is a very caring and empathetic person. This is demonstrated in his curse technique "Curse Manipulation". In the first episode of season 2 Geto says that no one else knows what curse spirits taste like (swallowing a rag used to clean up sh*t and vomit). In order for Geto to become stronger and more useful in protecting people, he must consume the negative energy manifested as cursed spirits in order to exorcise more cursed spirits; it is a never-ending cycle of consuming curses for a "blessed/good" goal. This burden Geto has taken upon his own shoulders for the good of non-sorcerers. At the end of the Hidden inventory arc it is not a change of conviction that Geto has, but a realization of circumstance. He saw the the flaws of Jujuitsu society, all its politics, selfishness and ugliness. All the negativity of non-sorcerers towards one another and towards sorcerers manifesting itself in-yes, cursed spirits but also the murder of a young, weak, innocent girl wanting to live out her youth. Geto saw cycle he was trapped within, one he chose to serve, he saw his comrades give their lives for such a trivial cycle. Geto came to the conclusion that the only way for him to "fix" the problem was break free from it and to destroy the entire system. Because if he couldn't destroy it- the system would destroy them.

[@valeriyav2149]

true. his empathy didn't change until the end. at first, he saw non-sorcerers as victims and wanted to protect them but soon realized that sorcerers are the biggest victims that are bound to suffer for the sake of others

[@WeaverOfStars]

@@valeriyav2149 Interestingly, to go along with your point Geto was happy that Yuta's classmates were trying to defend them against him and he also happy that Yuta was willing to fight him for his own ideals. The only JJK student he didn't like was Maki but I think thats moreso cause his trauma with Toji (Maki is pretty much another Toji) then actually hating her like he hates non-sorcerers. I think Geto was happy with those circumstances as he kind of realized that another kid like him slipping through the cracks wouldn't happen again. Yuta had the potenial of being another Geto if he had no support system and saw the worst of humanity and talked to the wrong people. He very easily could of gone that way. Geto saw that that wasn't the case for him and was actually happy for that even with all the bloodshed in the process. I am also sure he still trusts Gojo to know Gojo was doing a good job with helping him. Basically I think Geto was happy because the new generation wasn't repeating the cycle his was in. They were supporting eachother and willing to fight together for each other. To be stronger as a whole than alone.

[@valeriyav2149]

@@WeaverOfStars I agree. he understood what Gojo has been doing to fix the system. even if it doesn't solve the root of the problem, it makes the life of sorcerers better. this generation has adults around them who actually care and protect them with Gojo in the lead. something Geto and others didn't have. obviously, he didn't even try to kill any of the sorcerers, which is exactly what Gojo trusted him to do, but he didn't even finish Maki off despite his supposed hatred. it reminded me of Gege saying Geto had to remind himself every day that he hated non-sorcerers to keep going

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Sort of is my answer there. Because yes you run the risk of people's fear creating even stronger horrors, but likewise if any of these places heavily invested in mental health...that would be the answer. Having people understand the power of their fears and thus being able to both manage them and control them...well that would make for way less curses and way weaker curses. Sorcerers might as well be exterminators at that point. You call a sorcerer if you think something funny is going on. But the issue here specifically is that it would take a massive societal overhaul and that is hard and doing nothing is easy.

[@SerssVlog]

I just can believe someone I usually trust said something so dumb in this video, his idea is dumb and hard that is not even considered in the manga, making the jujutsu world free is the same as genocide, million of new curse spirit in 1 second and crazy quantity of bad ppl becoming sorceress too

[@TheCrazyCapMaster]

I like your idea presented in the latter half of the video. There’s just one thing I’m worried about, one potential issue that could arise: if people begin to learn about cursed spirits and some people fear them enough to start learning jujutsu, but not all, then there’s a chance that a cursed spirit representing that fear of cursed spirits could manifest. That could be REALLY bad, who knows what kind of things it could do? Could it control other cursed spirits? Could it steal the techniques of other cursed spirits? Could it mess with someone else’s cursed energy? This could be something trivial, or more dangerous than Sukuna.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

I disagree with his idea. Just telling the people about cursed spirits is just going to make things worse. If someone tells you not to think of a certain thing, then what’s the first thing you’re going to think of? What’s that quote from Men In Black? I forget the exact wording, but humans are stupid, panicky creatures that will stampede for nearly any reason. Honestly, the only way to deal with the source of curses without killing everyone is likely to be mass mind control to keep everyone docile without feeling fear or hatred. Which is impossible, and even if it was possible, it’d be just as horrible an idea as genocide.

[@alirezaomrani7650]

You know, you've written a good villain. When people can sympathize with his struggle and identify with his beliefs. I spent most of the episodes sympathizing with him. Because he had such strong moral character, and he had to go through so much. Ingesting the curses which were described as disgusting only for the people. He was trying to protect to mock him when Riko died. Afterwards, hes suffering from PTSD And because he is separated from his best friend Due to circumstance, nobody notices his downward decline. He gets a little glimmer of hope with hibara, but he gets killed the same episode, and then he sees the two girls and finally snaps. He's a much more compelling villain than let's say naraku who was more "waaa the girl didn't like me im going to be a menace".😂

[@KevinMarquez]

I think the part where they should inform non-sorcerers may bring more harm than good, in a sense that jujutsu knowledge at a global scale could create things like: 1. Government-sanctioned jujutsu sorcery as weaponry (imagine cursed energy harnessed as nuclear-level weapons) 2. As a result of (1), some governments might resort to massive "emotional manipulation" of their own people just to harvest more cursed energy 3. Legislations that could result in discrimination against jujutsu sorcerers, (like that in X-Men) For me, these 3 reasons far outweigh the good, which is people having the awareness and thus control over their fears and emotions. (knowing the current state of our world, if Jujutsu sorcery really exists, it is best to keep it to themselves lmao)

[@coltonwilliams4153]

Not to mention the fact that the fear and panic of discovering that fear and hatred can create invisible beings that will torment and/or murder countless people will almost definitely cause more curses to be born. Anyone who says otherwise has way too much faith in humanity.

[@JimmyCas]

I feel like Geto more closely aligns with Sensui from Yuyu Hakusho; both characters fought for what they thought was right when faced with what they believe to be the naturally evil “villains” in curse spirits, but then places his ideals under a finer lens and ultimately flips when discovering evil exists on all sides and sometime the easiest answer is kill the worst one (which is of course subjective to the person feeling this way)

[@powertrip0515]

I love this take. Sensui was a great character and I don't know if Gege is influenced by Togashi in any way but I always felt like much of JJK and Gege's writing style reminds me of Togashi. I never compared Geto to Sensui though but you're right.

[@inyalgaico1563]

No because if you have read the manga you basically know that the JJK world and the nature of curses was manipulated for centuries in various ways to create this outcome and that was done without the influence of humans but people like Kenjaku, Tengen And Sukuna. Geto basically saw a symptom and was emotionally hurt into accepting said extreme there were other options he just could not forgive the concept of humanity after the pain normal humans gave him. Yuki, Kenjaku, Tengen both think its possible to make everyone into curse users But given everything we know Geto lacked so much info (also he was influenced by the negative energy of the curses he absorbed and slowly was influenced by that as well) In practise/theory its sound but it practically requires you to ignore so much you have to be emotionally driven to accept said outcome. it's alot different than say magneto or Eren where there cause not a by product of the world but a product of peoples direct interaction with them If you are willing to blame the world for your death then you should also blame the world for your birth too

[@R.E.E.D.]

Geto is correct. So is Gojo. So is Yuki. So is Itadori. So is Megumi. So is Sukuna. SPOILERS AHEAD Yes. Even Sukuna is correct in his ideology. They're all correct because they all have the exact same ideology. I went back and read what Sukuna was saying to Itadori, and I thought about it. All of them have the same ideology, but it's at different stages attached to different personalities, and so it yields drastically different results from each of them. Sukuna's ideology can be summarized simply as, "The Strong should rule, the weak don't deserve to be happy." And while that may sound horrible on it's face, it is true. How? Look at Itadori. Sukuna asked him why was he weak. The weak exist at the whims of the strong. Everyone in Shibuya was weaker than Sukuna, so when Sukuna said "Don't run from the meteor or I off you" they had no choice but to obey. Itadori, as strong as he was, he was extremely weak in comparison to others. He had to become stronger to stand against Mahito. Let's look at Gojo. Gojo is strong but he wants others to be strong too. He doesn't want them to be weak because he knows only the strong get to live and only the strong can be saved. As he says, it's not enough that he alone be strong. Let's look at Geto. He wants to get rid of non-sorcerers, and he's willing to go through with it because he's strong enough to even make the attempt, even though he isn't the strongest. Strength & Weakness are the core ideological through line in the series. Should the Strong protect the Weak or do as they please? What does it mean to be strong? What does it mean to be weak? But what's not negotiable is that you have to be Strong to even get to ask those question. I choose who to save and do so unequally (Megumi and Geto). But to make that choice, to save the people I want to save, I must be strong (Itadori). However it's not enough that I be strong, others must be strong as well (Gojo and Sukuna). The same ideology, just different stages applied in different forms by different people.

[@lucasadriano6052]

Sorry but I think this take is wrong… To start imo the main point of the show is about death and life not strength and weakness, but that’s very debatable Then, to relate Geto’s fascist ideals to Itadori’s and Gojo’s philosophy is just weird… An ideology is a system of ideas and ideals. That being said, the only thing all of those characters ideology have in common is the value of strengh, that’s not enough similarity to say they are the same. Gojo have always been the strongest and treated as so, so inherently strenght is important to him. The shift is when he realises he can’t save everyone, so he wants people to be strong to not rely on him so much, this way they have more chance to survive. Itadori wants to help people and save those he could, bc thats his purpose in life and bc he doesn’t want to die alone. To do that he needs to be strong. Sukuna is a hedonist, he lives for his pleasures, and to do that he needs to be strong to escape the consequences. He also takes pleasure in fighting and becoming stronger Geto think of Jujutsu sorceres as perfected humans, and want the “weak” all to die, bc he has no respect for them. I think your last paragraph that sumarizes a single ideology with all their points combined pretty good and makes sense. Except i dont think Sukuna wanting other’s to be strong makes much sense there, and the “unequaly” part of Megumi and Geto are not comparable, Megumi chooses to save assortatively bc he knows he can’t save all, Geto chooses to save ONLY the strong by actively attacking the weak…

There's really no other way of dealing with the issue of Curses long-term, and the vast majority of humans were already going to die anyways, either it be to old age, sickness, or each other.

[@thespectresociety]

You either die a hero. Or live long enough to become a villain. Eren lived a hero long enough to see the reality of life and became an anti hero Geto lived a pure hero long enough to see how the people he's protecting do to his own kind It's rather ironic. It's the truly good who end up falling the hardest. It takes what's truly pure to make what's truly dark

[@AidenLaw-w5s]

I had an interesting idea that I think you could do a good job at you to covering, how would you convert Naruto characters (specifically the Konoha 13 and the Akatsuki along with others if you’d like) into jujutsu scorchers/curse users. How would you convert their abilities and their main kit into cursed techniques or other such abilities within the confines of the JJK universe.

[@mlvlnc]

Suguru Geto sought transcendence, as Gojo had. As all people do, to alleviate their suffering. Basically, due to his feelings of insecurity, alienation, and loss of purpose, he sought to transcend his human condition. There are two means by which people achieve transcendence: Creation, and Destruction... Destruction is easy, exhilarating, but ultimately ruins whatever chance you may have had of reaching true transcendence. It's why we see the shift in his cognition so quickly after he gives into his impulse for destructiveness and commits his first spree of murders, where he develops a god complex - He had achieved negative transcendence and finally felt as though he had the power; a purpose to live for

[@Gantaipao]

When we talk about this subject. Do we consider how fragile human beings are ? How much our world can flip when we see through what is in the rabit hole? Is it not like you announce to the world, & The people would listen. It is more like a Damage to society, Chaos etc. If conveying your message, Agreeing and have a mutual understanding was so easy. Human society would never have hatred or War to begin with. So saying Eren, Geto etc "Oh Did they Try to this or that, Or atleast teach them would've changed the outcome" Is completely wrong. Wrong for 1 reason :- They took the consideration of what it is which I mentioned above and adding to their own experience and what they saw is accumulation of everything which resulted in what they finally come up with. There isn't such thing as Right and Wrong when you discuss about such topics to be honest.

Wait I was under the impression that a Heavenly restriction was something you that your just born with, and that you can’t choose to have one. I think you might be confusing heavenly restriction with a binding vow

[@kiraexe.7856]

I get why Geto is thinking like that but he’s really just doing what he fear’s none sorcerer’s would do to sorcerer’s. Also I would bet everything that if some random overpowered being showed up to him and goes all sorcerers must die cause some are jerks he’ll be mad as hell.

[@supremeturtle1186]

Damn you're right. Ultimately Geto is a hypocrite and he can't even see it

[@JokenJoestar]

Regarding teaching humans how to gain heavily restrictions and claiming they'd adapt and "fear less" of cursed spirits, I digress, the majority would fear fearing, therefore probably creating the most powerful cursed spirit even more powerful than Sukuna

[@corpsie1241]

u r born with heavenly restriction u don't learn it there's a reason only 3 ppl in the whole series had it

[@mariobartolini2158]

also immagine creating even 3 or 4 humans equal to toji, that would already tip the scale since any cursed spirit below special grade + gets crushed and destroyed by people of that strenght, if you made 100 not only less cursed energy is produced but way way way more people capable of killing cursed spirits appear and also get the sumo guy to train them all and another key factor is that if JJS are public, they can get more information on the curses they are fighting thanks to a broader information gathering network which would reduce casualties even more, both by virtue of faster responses and no more first year students getting sent to fight special grade spirits

[@EmpressAaliyah]

Basically what I'm understanding is that Geto views the bliss and freedom afforded to the physically weak by their own ignorance and immense numbers. The weak as the majority, hold control over society, and thus wield a particular type of power over the physically strong. He sees that type of power as the greater form, and as such he thinks that the societally weak (sorcerers) need protection from the strong (non-sorcerers). I understand that about right?

[@adamjolayemi7963]

[@beansprout_apg886]

Geto’s ideology is the same with sensui when he saw the ugliness of the humans. When you put it logically, you will just justify and agree with them. Having power or more dominant to others has a tendency of self righteousness and thinking that you ways is the best way and generalize everything.

[@overhaul.-.]

I think an important distinction between the motivations of Eren and Geto is the simple fact that if all the Eldians were exterminated- then the Titans would just stop existing. However, if all Jujutsu Sorcerers were exterminated- Cursed Energy would still exist, and Cursed Spirits would run rampant completely unchecked

Geto just wants to get rid of curses. Easiest way to do it is to get rid of non sorcerer's because they cause them Edit: also you forgot a key catalyst to him wanting to get rid of curses spirits in the first place was because of his own cursed technique

[@Mavuika_Gyaru]

It’s definitely implied that it was a factor. The first time he calls non-sorcerers monkeys is after his inner-dialogue about how disgusting his curse technique is. They even chose it as the opening scene for the anime, so I believe it is very important.

I disagree a little about the overgeneralized similarity between Eren and Geto, Eren literally just wants his friends to live long happy lives, he couldn't give two sh*ts about the race of eldians. But I agree with you on Getos stance overall Basically its Eren's preference for his friends to survive against Getos generalized moral code that he must choose one group to go.

[@Sayushana]

Wouldn't Geto's plan a) create a bunch of new sorcerers who hate his guts (and possibly all of sorcerers) for killing their family and b) involve killing all non sorcerers that were born? (How many parents would be ok with that?) That seems like a great way to start a civil war and a bunch of assassination attempts, wouldn't it?

For a he wouldn't care For b no because the entire idea was to make everyone a sorcerer, you dont get born a non sorcerer when both of your parents are sorcerers

[@OwO377]

simple answer they not ready face totally unknow thing.

[@kurai8955]

I think some points in this video aren’t accurate. It’s simple, Geto was a person who believed the strong should help the “weak” which are non sorcerers. After fighting Toji and witnessing the hatred and disguising nature of some humans towards them even though it kills him and his friends everyday to save them, it made him rethink things. And after learning that humans actually make curses in the first place he decides they are the problem so he aims to solve it at the root. Simple

[@csquatch2432]

Yeah, if I were Eren Jaegar, and it was the case that everyone I knew would be wiped out. Unless I wiped out the people trying to wipe us out. My wife, daughter, family and friends would come first. I would look for other ways of resolving the issue first. But, if just as in AOT. There really weren’t other ways. Then, sorry not sorry.

[@kenny995]

While I don't fully agree with Geto, I see how he got to where he is and it makes me sympathetic in some ways. Was literally forced to swallow shit environment for people who didn't care about him, and Toji really fuked his view of the world.

[@keishalebray1996]

I think a third option will appear with yuji as he can imprint on to others. If he used that ability with tengen and maki to imprint heavenly restriction to everyone the problem would be solved but the biggest obstacle is sukuna who is prolly gonna die and is killed by gojo, and kenjaku (don’t have any conclusions on him yet. The only problem now is that yuji doesn’t realize his ability or know how to correctly use it, it just happens. (This is only if gege proves it to be true)

You keep speaking of heavenly restriction like it’s a choice. You don’t “undergo” it you are born how you are which you mentioned once but we’re still inconsistent. It’s not like your family chooses your CE levels. Makis situation was one of one.

[@firecrushfox]

Both Eren and Geto have utilitarian philosophies that choose to protect the many by sacrificing the few, which I gather can come off as confusing when we're talking about two people who want to kill off the majority of the human population in favor of a small group of the human population, but you have to realize what population groups they're actually measuring. Eren's is actually a bit more obvious because he's weighing the Eldian lives within the Walls to the Eldian lives outside of the Walls, and he reasons that, if in order to protect the majority of Eldians who are in the Walls from the dangers of the non-Eldians outside of the Walls, he must kill all of the Eldians outside of the Walls too, then that is a reasonable sacrifice to make. Geto's is a bit less obvious because he's sort of weighing two different camps, and in Camp A you have Jujutsu Sorcerers, and in Camp B you have no Jujutsu Sorcerers (and a couple billion non-Sorcerers), and so he understandably comes to the conclusion that Camp A with the majority Sorcerers should survive. One could argue however that Sorcerers who stand against him wind up in Camp B, hence the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

[@Binks129]

The the best part about characters like Geto. Objectively he isn’t wrong, morally he also isn’t wrong, if he wants to get rid of Curse’s the fastest way to go about it is to erase the masses of monkeys. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that if Gojo was with Geto when he saved those 2 girls from the villagers he’d be the first one to start the slaughter. He was ready to erase the room of people celebrating the death of Amanai. Imagine if he saw them abusing the other 2.

[@Tyrantofthewind]

Sukuna is an incarnated sorcerer who uses fingers to incarnate himself. Kenjaku is also an incarnated sorcerer who uses his brain as a cursed object to do so. Saying he is a curse is incorrect and likely comes from characters like Yuji and Gojo who did not know what Sukuna actually was when they labeled him a curse.

[@foxsupercoolvargas719]

Come on man 😅, humans have never been able to find a global harmony only based in morals or ethics. You can tell me it’s sad the our people have this pride in individualism and no respect at all for the fact that we are the same in so many aspects. It’s been like that for the previous 11 000 years of human history and it’s going to be like that until the end of us. Only love, hate or fear can make a human being dedicate his life entirely to something and it is emotionally, spiritually and physically impossible for us ALL to love, hate or fear the same. It is mainly because we are different that the hate started and there’s gonna be hate until we are all the same. For that we would have to give away our own interests, dreams and plans and I don’t think me or you or anyone it’s ever going to be ready for that. I respect a lot your opinion and I truly believe that we can be better as a race, but the truth does not respect what we believe ( I love your videos btw, always such an amazing food for thought). We’ve been finding more ways to divide ourselves on a dally basis for over 10 000 years. Wars, religion, politics, classes, rases, sexuality, even nationality. It never stops because it’s in our nature to care for US first and then the rest. I hope nobody ever (EVER) gains the individual power to unify the human rase like we see in JJK or AOT. If it happens the only way to do it based in truth we’ll be to eliminate all the other variables 😢. Sorry for the long comment and dark morals, it’s just objective man truly. Peace man ✌🏻

So Geto literally tasted normal people negative feelings and he got sick of it in both ways (in real life and when he absorbs it) anyone will get severe depression from that absorbing negative energy for his entire life and the rest of it , he just saw that it didn't worth it for a bunch of scumbags celebrating the death of innocent girl.
