![]() Gege clearly wants to write Gojo, and he wants to use Gojo or he'd have left him sealed for the rest of the story. That's not a thing that's ever happened at any point in this story, which is why I don't know why people think it would suddenly be the thing TO happen. I've said before, but he never, ever solves everything himself. I also don't understand people saying that if Gojo wins the entire story will be over because he'll solve everything because if there's one character Gege has put a LOT of thought into balancing, it's Gojo. I'm enjoying the fight for sure, but I really can't wait to move past it to get back to the overall plot because I really want to know what he's up to. There's so much happening with Kenjaku that no one seems to care about at all, haha. Not necessarily in a fighting way but in that his Six Eyes will be important. Like this set up feels very much like Gojo will be important to the endgame. I didn't list out everything, but people are ignoring that Gojo has a plot line with Geto-Kenjaku and his Six Eyes ties him to Tengen. Gojo could lose cuz of ten shadows, or the whole set-up of it killing his ancestor could just be there so we know there's very real danger for him and make it that much more impressive if he comes out on top. Death flags don't mean a character will die: that can just be used to create tension and raise stakes, especially for a character who generally isn't someone we as the audience have to worry about. If Gege cared about Gojo being gone, he could've kept him gone and not brought him back.īut this fandom also thought Gojo wouldn't be unsealed until the very end, or never, and a lot of people seemed to also think that Kenjaku would be able to like one shot him if he got freed, so it's weird what people think the narrative demands. I think I'd more easily believe Gojo would die if this weren't the very first thing he's doing after being freed, but given he hasn't even had a real conversation with Yuji on page, he just immediately went into this fight, it would feel exceptionally redundant. ![]() Almost every chapter surprises me in a good way. I don't think there was a reason to put so much emphasis on that in chapter 221 if it wasn't important for the rest of the story at all.īut I really don't understand why people think they know how the story is going to go. I don't think Gojo will be the one to fight Kenjaku, ofc, but he also wasn't the one to fight Geto and still got the emotional closure with him in vol 0. Gojo dying right here also ignores that his main character arc is tied to Kenjaku and his main motivation for fighting Sukuna is explicitly that Sukuna is a roadblock to get to Kenjaku, and the Megumi thing is secondary. ![]() Gojo dying here would literally just repeat the same plot line. Gojo dying so his students can take over side steps some of the biggest parts of his narrative arc.Īlso, Gojo already disappeared in Shibuya, leaving his students behind to fend for themselves. ![]() His story also includes how being the strongest is isolating and being the strongest isn't enough to solve all problems. In my opinion, Gojo's desire to teach students is only one part of his overall narrative. Is Gojo's character arc completed if he dies so that his students can learn in his absence? Depends how you interpret his arc. Rather than focus on plot points, to try to predict how the narrative goes, people should instead focus on character arcs and narrative themes. ![]() It's possible for Gege to write something else for Gojo to do (like dealing with a Shibuya type situation on a larger level). If Gege doesn't want Gojo to kill Kenjaku, then Gege can write it. If Gege wanted to have Miwa kill full-powered Sukuna, he could do it. Plot points can go in whatever direction the writer wants. People who say "Gojo can't win because of the narrative" have no clue how narratives actually work. ![]()
