i keep seeing the argument of gojo being seen as more than just the six eyes because of his students and i actually disagree. even though i understand the sentiment and i think it most accurately applies to yuta, i still don't think it is an accurate analysis. at the end of the day, his students are CHILDREN. in his care!!!!! as much as i believe that yuji and yuta especially see gojo for who he is to a certain degree, i think to imply that they UNDERSTAND him would be taking away from the discomfort that they are children. and that's further solidified by the fact that it is yuta that has to do what is done in chapter 261. because he's still a teenager, he shouldn't HAVE to be doing this - he never should have had to make that decision. the whole point of the narrative is that geto and gojo were doomed from the day that they were both born.

i've been thinking about chapter 261 for a long time now and i'm still not sure how i feel. i've been comparing the feelings i've had from rewatching the prison realm episode to the 261 reveal and i think part of why i just don't feel as emotional is because geto was the last person to see gojo as his own person. the reason why it was so tragic to watch gojo hesitate in front of kenjaku IS because it was geto. the only people who could have seen gojo as more than a weapon is gone, and the other one has no choice in the matter because the only way she can help people is through RCT. it's honestly less tragic and more unsettling knowing that there wasn't really much of a choice. i hate what has happened but honestly narrative wise? i think my current opinion is that i can't be annoyed? i can't argue that gege evoked emotions out of me that i don't think i've felt from a manga before, in a very uncomfortable way
