"Gojo should've gotten to live as a person-" THAT’S THE POINT. That is the ENTIRE point of JJK. Every single character who died was someone who "should've gotten to" do a lot of things. Riko should've gotten to live for herself, Geto should've had the chance to be a teenage boy given support and safety, Junpei should've gotten to live without fear, Nobara should've had the chance to let people in without fear, Nanami, Yuki, Mai, Higurama, EVERYONE.
Here's the thing, Gojo is on this list. Gojo isn't the exception because JJK at its core is a story about how overarching systems destroy people; bullying, capitalism, sexism, etc. And this system does not need people to run it. Which is why killing Kenjaku didn't stop shit because yeah he started this mess but its grown beyond him. Fuck, it was there before him.
This is also why despite Sukuna & Uraume being the only ones who are actual threats, nothing is better. The cast got rid of the higher-ups, jujutsu tech as it is, is no more. The major families are dismantled. This should be a victory. This is what the Sashisu gen pointed out as the problem but things have never looked more bleak.
Why? Because the problem isn't Kenjaku, Sukuna, curses, sorcerers or curse users. It's the existence of Cursed Energy itself. This has been pointed out multiple times by Yuki. Its the system and Gojo has been complicit to the system for a long, long time. He's also it's victim. Gojo says he's the exception a lot, but as everyone has rightfully pointed out, he was nothing more than a weapon to jujutsu society.
JJK has followed a very clear pattern to every character right from Geto to Junpei to Riko; characters are representatives of systems of suppression, and they will not escape it. I can't recall a single character that's escaped unscathed, much less alive.
Is it disrespectful? Yes. Is it demeaning? YES. There has not been a single character death that's been dignified in JJK. It's all on a scale of bearable to absolutely horrifying. It is genuinely wild seeing people resort to threatening the author AGAIN. Calm the fuck down. You are entitled to feeling upset about how Gojo has been treated but Yuta stans are being calm despite Yuta arguably suffering the "he is a weapon" thing WORSE. It's still a fictional character and JJK's narratives never treated Gojo with any exceptions despite the character saying otherwise.
#i like what gege is cooking even tho it hurts me#jjk spoilers#jjk 261#i can think of one character who had a respectable death - if u can call it that - and his figurine sits in my suitcase rn :)#after coming to terms w/ the events of chapter 261 i'm starting to appreciate gege's writing more and more#'yuuta okkotsu cannot become the next satoru gojo' was said how many chapters ago?#hajime isayama levels of foreshadowing#there's one or two minor details in jjk's writing that don't make sense to me but overall it's a brilliant tragedy#there've always been portions of fans who refuse to separate their favouritism of certain characters from their view of the media as a whole#but jjk is very extreme about it#hmmmmhmhmhhhhhhh#i'm biased too. gojo & geto's parallels are what makes the story for me and even if they're gone i will. continue to dissect their#impact on jjk society#or lack thereof#now that gojo is gone for good#even if jjk finds a satisfactory ending it'll probably be overshadowed by fans' negative reactions#and that's a shame

technically gojo did win. through his students that he mentored, killing the higher ups AND finally being able to meet suguru again in the afterlife.
he knows his students are strong and can defeat sukuna. and his body is no longer important to him because his soul has been set free and can now rest with suguru (in hell).
six eyes was only ever a bother to him anyways, limitless caged him and made him untouchable. his soul, the only part of him that was truly touched by his one and only is now free to be just satoru.
in his mind the only person who truly understood him/would've truly mourned him was dead anyway, so what importance is a body?
#this ^ but not even in a coping way#ch 236 is the most bittersweet masterpiece#i'll say that#whatever stsg have going on is jjk's strong suit#that and the fights#which is a bit of a shame since it takes away from the actual main characters#or maybe im just yappin#still. when i see gege hes gonna have to catch some hands.#jjk spoilers#jjk 261

#jjk spoilers#went into the tag to find actual meta but it's just ppl going (understandably) crazy abt the leaks#that being said#i feel like a lot of the hatred toward's gege's writing choices stem from the fandom's favouritism of certain characters rather than actual#valid criticisms#gojo's death served a purpose#so did choso's#and i loved choso with my whole heart but no amount of copium could ever convince me that anybody but yuji will rightfully end sukuna lmao#maybe being a levi fan back in the early to mid snk manga days gave me thicker skin but#from a strictly objective writing perspective#gege is doing a decent job#also didn't sukuna's infinity hand signs most likely conjure up gojo's ghost? wasn't that the trigger?#the only realistic option i see here is gojo being a ghost or a hallucination. probably the former#although sacrificing six eyes/releasing a binding vow and just chilling in the background is the ideal outcome but cmon#the backlash two weeks from now when gojo is just a ghost is gonna be horrific lmao#gege doesn't strike me as the type to revive his cashcow for the sake of having a cashcow#either way i'm gonna go get the weekly jump first thing in the morning
