I got a question for the both of you.Would you be interested in reacting to a movie called Axel?In a cartoon series called swat cats.Both are very good watch
People probably already warned you guys about it, but don't forget to download the blu-ray version for episode 17 It's not dubbed, but the added content doesn't have any voices, so someone must've edited it easily
An interesting thing to note is that Geto looks so much healthier and happier once he makes his decision to eliminate non-sorcerers. The indecision and turmoil had been eating him up ever since the incident, but him deciding to execute his plan gave him a new life of sorts, a purpose. Despite the fact that he chose to do something that would be incredibly difficult, would take years to accomplish and that is undeniably terrible, it's like he's never been more alive.
Hmm. Kinda like jujutsu in a way, the vibe of his new plan is negative much like cursed energy, and the means would be negative as well to form double negative energy to create his positive outcome. Maybe its a stretch but i just like how important emotions have value to both themes and character journeys
What made the end of this arc even sadder for me was realizing that the opening song starts with Gojo slumped in his chair and the arc ends with him waking up in the chair as if he was having a sad dream about his past, but surrounded by his students to make him feel better.
It's sad, really. A lot of people were watching these five episodes, waiting for the eventual turn and snapping of Geto through some event. But it wasn't just one event. It was a combination of different things. What happened to Riko, the trauma Toji inflicted on him, his conversation with Yuki about non-sorcerers and what their existence means to the world, the premature death of Haibara due to the inaccuracies of their mission(and how teens are losing their lives without even knowing why thanks to the higher ups), Gojo being able to take care of all of the problems and what he offered to Geto about getting rid of all of the people even if they were innocent, and the straw that broke the camels back was seeing how two innocent girls were being treated all because of who they were. We saw the story of how Geto went from a sweet boy to the Geto we saw in JJK 0. Hater of all monkeys. It truly is a tragedy. So many bad things continued to stack up and no one saw how far Geto had sunk until it was too late.
But we can all agree this was typical BS anime writing and a barely believable character transition, no? It's impossible to go from "my life duty is to protect the weak" to "kill all non-sorcerers". Becoming disillusioned, dropping out of jujutsu high and doing your own thing, SURE. But killing 99,9% of the earths population, huuuuh?
@@o-henryIf you want to draw a parallel, that's exactly what happens to soldiers who come back from countries at war and have been indoctrinated by another ideology. The horrors they've seen make them question their values and whether they're fighting for the right side, and that's how they become terrorists. So I think the character is quite believable imo
@@stanislasd.4780 Give me a single example for a domestic terrorist with a disillusioned military background. Unbelievably rare, if any cases exist. If anything, your example proves my point because BY FAR most such cases end in addiction, self-directed violence etc. Geto's change is an extremely big stretch. And also, him siding with the sorcerers as the "greater good" is highly dubious since there are far more scumbags among sorcerers than regular people I'd say.
I always thought it was adorable how Gojo and Geto became father figures to kid's they took in around the same time. It would've been funny if they got together every so often so that they could play with each other.
Something someone pointed out was that when Gojo remembers the "are you the strongest because you are Satoru" scene, it's all black and there's only him and Geto, with no color. But now that we get it from Getos POV, there's color, there's detail to the non sorcerers. Gojo never saw the non sorcerers, there was only Geto and his job to kill or capture him, one that he ignored, even when he's meant to protect the normal humans. But then Geto, who sees them as monkeys, sees them as real entities, sees the world as a whole, even sees color in the world again, and wants to one day kill them. Also the outfit that Geto starts to wear after this is called a Gojo (I forget the second part of the name of it. I think kesai?)
A little nice detail that shows Geto's turmoil was how the shower/rain sound like the clapping by the cultists. And yeah, Yuki unintentionally created basically JJK Hitler, She was treating their conversation as an academic discussion while Geto was treating it more as a philosophical one.
What I really loved noticing about this anime and manga is that there are no mentally stable sorcerers. It's like the usage of negative energy warps their brain. This is also mirrored in their curse technique. Gojo with limitless is untouchable unfazed by reality everyone is attracted to him (not necessarily physically) but no one can stand by his side no matter how hard he tries.
I also do feel like Geto was absolutely a product of the Jujutsu Society system failing. Gojo’s awakening put him on a higher level where he was taking on all the most dangerous missions alone, and Shoko’s skillset lies elsewhere, so there wasn’t really anyone around to notice what Geto was going through and to pull him back from the edge. Yuki told him that he wasn’t yet “lost,” he still had the ability to chose, but after that conversation he had no one.
I find it interesting that a lot of people, most of whom I've seen being Geto fans, point the finger to Yuki as someone who bears a lot of blame in Geto's turn to darkness, even moreso than Geto in most cases. I've found it ridiculous, not just because it wasn't Yuki who proposed Geto to kill non-sorcerers, but rather she was answering a question about if it would work from Geto himself, but also because it erases most of Geto's agency and the fact that at the end of the day, he decided to do what he did, not anyone else. Yuki did kind of choose the wrong time and person to have that discussion with, but coddling Geto like his trauma excuses his actions and isn't the reason for his decisions is something I've seen *a lot* of Geto fans do. He's a tragic character and his downfall isn't only on him, but his decisions and his actions after the incident *are* on him.
They just looking someone to blame with. But ain't anyone just looking for something to goes on living when a person has something dark on with his mind? Yuki was just happened to be the person who know the answer to his questions.
People really like to do that, and selectively too. They always wanna put the blame on ONE person, and often times not the person that actually made the decision. If you watch Hazbin Hotel, people loooooove to do this with Angel Dust, pinning all the blame for his situation on Valentino, taking away Angel's agency in the decision he made himself, just because the decision screwed him over big time, and his boss is a dick. Being in a really shitty situation sucks, but you can't just pretend he didn't put HIMSELF there. That's what makes striving to dig himself out of that hole so admirable. This applies to lots of situations, both in fiction and real life. At the end of the day, people are responsible for their own actions and saying "Well it's someone else's fault cause they said this" just diverts attention away from the actual root cause, allowing it to fester and screw someone else over later, cause nobody ever bothers to fix it cause why fix the hard problem when you can tweet about the easy problem?
It's because when people get put into the hidden inventory/premature death arcs after jjk0 they look for a "switch" in what makes Geto into the one we see in the movie not realising that the 5 episodes are showing you a slow decline in how he got there. It wasn't just that Riko was killed by Toji or that Gojo asked him if they could kill all the star plasma followers or even just having to eat curse spirits over and over again. It was all of them grouped together with the loss of one of his comrades during that time and then Yuki "offering" a solution to the end of the "marathon". She thought she was just bumping ideas off of a fellow sorcerer she had no clue what state his psyche was in. I doubt she realised going "well yeah technically you could kill all humans but nobody is crazy enough to do that right?" would actually lead to him doing exactly that.
The final trigger was when a good sorcerer (Haibara) died, Amanai's death was insignificant cause there's already a replacement (making him feel like they're wasting their lives for nothing) and then on his final mission where he was supposed to deal w his hometown curse, non jujutsu people/towns folk were yapping and blaming the 2 girls for causing the chaos in that town when the curses was clearly coming from the townsfolk so he just snapped and decided to commit mass murder😅 cause non jujutusu tend to judge jujutsu sorcerers as weird or different yet have all the demands. Like why waste time protecting trash😅 Ofcourse not every1 is like that but you can see thst Geto was struggling on his own for a yr and Gojo wasnt there to notice it since theyve gone thru missions alone after the Amanai incident.
To be honest, even though geto's solution/idea was messed up, I can't really blame him for coming to that solution either. Especially if they created curses like mahito, Jogo etc. Its one of those "it's the best solution (kinda) to do even if you don't want to" type dilemma
This was such a short but beautiful arc. Really made sense of how Geto spiraled downward to becoming a villain. It’s crazy to think how much of an impact on the timeline this arc has on the whole series.
It’s not all that subtle but I still love the symbolism of how physically far away Gojo was from Geto in that beginning bit. Prior to these events, Gojo and Geto were “the strongest” together. After, Gojo was alone at the top and Geto was alone left behind.
In a way Geto didn’t really change. He was committed to protecting the weak. His shift was in whom he considered weak and worthy of protection. He wants to protect jujutsu sorcerers. He wants to prevent the deaths of high schoolers like Haibara and grade schoolers like those two girls. Gleefully clapping for the death of an innocent revealed to Geto that non-curse users are not worth dying for.
I think something important to mention about Geto using the term "monkeys" is that he specifically adopts a Buddhist persona when starting his religious group. Monkey's in Buddhism are seen as "lower level" of humans who are foolish, selfish, and weak. They are supposed to be redeemed and many stories in Buddhism involve monkeys going through redemption and finding salvation. I know many people in Western communities look at it with a racial lens which makes a lot of sense considering western history, but the way Geto is using it is specifically in a religious context, as to him non sorcerers are an "unawakened" and "unrealized" version compared to Jujutsu sorcerers. I'm not a specialist in Buddhism so I might have some things a little wrong but I wanted to point it out since it's not something I see people talking about a lot and thought you would like to know!
It's just sad because if you think about it, all of this goes back to Gojo, who had no say in the matter. As much as he relishes being the strongest, he didn't ask for that, he was just born that way. It was such a hard hit to Geto to see Gojo become more powerful than he is now and have the right to talk about killing non-sorcerers so casually, just because he was the strongest, whereas it took him seeing the Star Plasma Vessel and Haibara die to finally consider making his ideal a reality, even if he wasn't the strongest or if it would make him a criminal to his best friend. To Gojo, that meant that he made Geto what he is, simply because he was too strong for anyone, even his best friend, to ever come close to.
Here’s a slight clarification: Gojo does not have infinite cursed energy- it’s amongst the highest but it’s his 6 eyes that keeps his need to use the amount of CE to a minimal amount yet being efficient enough for it to not be bothered with it. Imagine using exact CE required to destroy a curse spirit- no more, no less or knowing the most efficient way to do any activity- if I’m bicycling- what’s the max speed with minimal energy wastage kinda thing. There have been limitless users without the 6 eyes but all six eyes users have had limitless but they were the ones who would have achieved the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery.
Fun Fact: If you listen closely, the sound of the shower water slowly transitions to the sound of "clapping". This also happens when it rained while Geto was talking to Yuki. He is really that bothered by the incident that every time it rains, he hears nonstop clapping. Like a veteran with fireworks.
When Geto was referring to exterminating non-sorcerers Yuki was aware of what he meant by exterminate she's just very openminded and so she didn't feel the need to immediately rebuke the statement like many others would, invertedly leading Geto down a murderous path
My intepretation of Geto's statement about Gojo being the strongest is that he's asking Gojo if his personality (arrogance/confidence) is what made him as strong as he is now, or if being the strongest made his personality (arrogant/confident). So basically, is being confident and believing you'll achieve something what makes you better and stronger to do just that. This comes from Gojo calling out Geto on doing something he can't possibly achieve, aka Geto is arrogant to think he has even a chance of achieving it. Geto is challenging the idea that he can't achieve it; If he is arrogant and keeps chipping away at it, he'll become strong enough to achieve it just like he believes Gojo has achieved his strength. This also aligns with the power system and Geto knowing how far Gojo has come.
Yuki was more so saying in her second point to teach everyone to control their cursed energy and be sorcerers to some extent. It wasn't that she was implying the eradication of normal humans at all but that's rather what geto took from it.
If memory serves. The person Geto crushed on scene was the one who ordered the bounty on Riko. So he was clearly airing out a grudge. I also quite like how when Yuki talked about the ways Geto was feeling about hating regular people and wanting to save them, she pointed at the emergency exit and a dark corridor to show the former was the easy way out.
I believe he’s the strongest because he is Satoru Gojo, yeah the reputation and the powers that comes with the last name Gojo made him a strong man but the way he mastered those abilities and his fighting skills are possible because of his intellect. And I tell that this will be more clear when MAPPA animate more of the manga and you will see what I mean when you reach there.
I don’t think y’all gave todo’s mentor enough credit lmao. She definitely understood him. She even says something about forcing non sorcerers into chaotic combat to fight each to either die or become sorcerers. Then says, “unfortunately I’m not crazy enough to do that”
Something of minor note with Gojo explaining his ability in the start of the episode, Shoko saying the constant use of limitless would “fry his brain” is more in the sense that just leaving it on would be strenuous and exhaust his brain over long periods. Gojo is using RCT to essentially constantly refresh his brain to prevent exhaustion, he’s not actually constantly causing and repairing trauma to his brain, more so just keeping it in a constant state of being fully rested. I think the author has even said that Gojo’s need for sleep is now much less than the average person as well for that reason (I’m sure someone will correct me if I’ve made a mistake there). Basically he saw how Toji got the jump on him and said “never again.”
Well they say that the link between cursed techniques and the brain are still unknown so Gojo playing around with his brain and constantly "refreshing" it may have consequences who knows.
Bro dont even leave footprints either. Got tracked with small ones and in season 1 he stepped on anys and didnt even bother them. To mock the headmaster mostly but also shows no physical traces either
It’s deep to ask are you the strongest cause you were born as you. Or as you the strongest because you are you. It’s the idea of talent vs being gifted. Cause in many ways he his born gifted but there’s a level of you can take that for granted and another level where you exceed that level with effort
Not Yuki's fault for Geto's turning, but it certainly didn't help when Gato was already spiring. When Hibara died, it did bring to question why they do the things they do for people that don't understand or cause their deaths. Seeing the girls in the cage was the last straw and decided to kill the whole village. In the last scene with the cult, the guy he called up and killed was the man that put the hit on Riko, to me I say deserve. Geto became my favorite character after this arc. I feel for the tragic backstory villian, let's pull an Erin Yeager. (Don't actually because that is so fucked up.) We gotta change the system. Until you know. until you know how Geto is alive! So excited!
Geto would've 100% still turned bad, it's just that if Yuki and him hadn't had their talk, he wouldn't have a goal. It's thanks to Yuki that Geto came to the realization that non-sorcerers are root of his suffering (by his own technique, and the fact he has to constantly risk his life and watch his friends do the same, and having experience when one of them fail, and this whole arc) and that if he got rid of them he would be changing the world for the better, and thus, all of his actions moving forward are made with that goal in mind. But if Yuki hadn't come to him, he would've just snapped after seeing the girls in the cage and went on a rampage, he wouldn't have taken over the cult to slowly amass curses to eventually wage a war on Jujutsu High and then wage war on non-sorcerers, he would've just went killing as many non-sorcerers as possible to try and satiate his hatred, never stopping until Gojo finally realizes theres no other choice and is forced to kill him. So while I agree that Geto was already primed and ready to snap and Yuki was the one that prompted him to become the monkey killing cultist he is today, that wasn't the breaking point, meeting those two girls is what made him snap, and as long as he does meet them there is no saving him. Yuki just gave him a good reason to fulfill his hateful desires and just overall helped him think more clearly.
Gosh, Montanna's takes are such a treat (Kenny's too of course). I hate watching anime in English but I love LOVE your content. I wish that you watch it in Japanese but I understand why you don't.
People find Geto's plan "Horrible" because they would be the ones to die, but if your "Family" is dying protecting people that mistreat them and blames them, it would seem very understandable to say "To hell with those people". And is not killing all humans, Jujutsu Sorcerers are also humans, just no the one creating the curses.
You can't assume that people only think it's horrible because it would theoretically happen to them. I'm not in the universe of that world, I still think it's awful. Genocide, in any world, is not a good thing and should be avoided. Sure, it's a shortcut to the world he idealises, and he has valid reasons to detest non-sorcerers. But genocide is still unequivocally evil
@@LettsReactAll humans? No, only who is not a sorcerer. But that's it, the villain wants to do and change something in the world, but the heroes think it's wrong but they don't even have a better plan🤷 If you look at it without morality involved, Geto's plan is very logical and practical.
PLEASE do a reaction video or at least just go listen to the English translations of the opening and ending, they add so much context and are so emotional
It’s shocking figuring out how exactly it happened lol, that’s like saying it wasn’t shocking when Gojo practically passed away in his fight with Toji because we know he’s alive later
21:28 its funny u mentioned the music its pretty hard to tell by just watching the show but the entire arc has been filled with music using a gojo leitmotif and if u listen to the official upload of this track it also has the gojo leitmotif but curiously the leitmotif has been taken out of the track just for this scene
There's no way they'd like Fire Punch. Kenny maybe, but Montana definitely wouldn't like the gratuitous fanservice. The amount and placement of it genuinely ruins the show.
yes this Anime does have fan service but many anime also have that doesn't mean it's a bad anime it have a good plot & good Power System but still underrated compare to the amount of love this show deserve I hope in future you will see it & react to it 😊

please do ep 17 blu ray like please
"He'd rather be killing people for a reason, then not have a reason to save people." Damn.
Honestly it is more "He'd rather kill for a reason, than not have a reason to die."

‘Monkey’ refers to a human without control over cursed energy. It came from Toji after he defeated Geto where he referred to himself as a monkey.
That's the surface level answer but that doesn't mean any interpretation of the word is wrong.

I'm not a specialist in Buddhism so I might have some things a little wrong but I wanted to point it out since it's not something I see people talking about a lot and thought you would like to know!
Todo's mom, Yuki, reminds me of a certain Pro Hero . . .
🇺🇸
Hehe yea
I really love these girst 5 episodes it adds so much weight to the first season and get-out as our current antagonist
It's just sad because if you think about it, all of this goes back to Gojo, who had no say in the matter. As much as he relishes being the strongest, he didn't ask for that, he was just born that way. It was such a hard hit to Geto to see Gojo become more powerful than he is now and have the right to talk about killing non-sorcerers so casually, just because he was the strongest, whereas it took him seeing the Star Plasma Vessel and Haibara die to finally consider making his ideal a reality, even if he wasn't the strongest or if it would make him a criminal to his best friend. To Gojo, that meant that he made Geto what he is, simply because he was too strong for anyone, even his best friend, to ever come close to.
These episodes made really respect the character work this could do
My kind boy Suguru didn't deserve all of that 💔
Notice how Toji gave Gojo his Blessing | Megumi
In JJK Zero we see Geto with Toji’s Curse spirit.
Here’s a slight clarification: Gojo does not have infinite cursed energy- it’s amongst the highest but it’s his 6 eyes that keeps his need to use the amount of CE to a minimal amount yet being efficient enough for it to not be bothered with it. Imagine using exact CE required to destroy a curse spirit- no more, no less or knowing the most efficient way to do any activity- if I’m bicycling- what’s the max speed with minimal energy wastage kinda thing. There have been limitless users without the 6 eyes but all six eyes users have had limitless but they were the ones who would have achieved the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery.
He refers to humans as monkeys because they can't use curse techniques and that sorcerers are better than them.
Here we go time for the chaos to unfold
All that happened just to hear that Riko’s death was all for nothing
Fun Fact: If you listen closely, the sound of the shower water slowly transitions to the sound of "clapping". This also happens when it rained while Geto was talking to Yuki. He is really that bothered by the incident that every time it rains, he hears nonstop clapping. Like a veteran with fireworks.
This scene was so famous even KFC was broken up seeing Gojo and Geto break up! Remember people go eat some KFC in the memory of GetoXGojo break up.
The rain sounding like clapping is awesome.
When Geto was referring to exterminating non-sorcerers Yuki was aware of what he meant by exterminate she's just very openminded and so she didn't feel the need to immediately rebuke the statement like many others would, invertedly leading Geto down a murderous path
My intepretation of Geto's statement about Gojo being the strongest is that he's asking Gojo if his personality (arrogance/confidence) is what made him as strong as he is now, or if being the strongest made his personality (arrogant/confident). So basically, is being confident and believing you'll achieve something what makes you better and stronger to do just that. This comes from Gojo calling out Geto on doing something he can't possibly achieve, aka Geto is arrogant to think he has even a chance of achieving it. Geto is challenging the idea that he can't achieve it; If he is arrogant and keeps chipping away at it, he'll become strong enough to achieve it just like he believes Gojo has achieved his strength. This also aligns with the power system and Geto knowing how far Gojo has come.
Just a note Yuki didn’t misinterpret Geto she fully understood that he was suggesting murdering them all
Now we're at the end of hidden inventory. This should be interesting.
Yuki was more so saying in her second point to teach everyone to control their cursed energy and be sorcerers to some extent. It wasn't that she was implying the eradication of normal humans at all but that's rather what geto took from it.
If memory serves. The person Geto crushed on scene was the one who ordered the bounty on Riko. So he was clearly airing out a grudge.
I also quite like how when Yuki talked about the ways Geto was feeling about hating regular people and wanting to save them, she pointed at the emergency exit and a dark corridor to show the former was the easy way out.
I believe he’s the strongest because he is Satoru Gojo, yeah the reputation and the powers that comes with the last name Gojo made him a strong man but the way he mastered those abilities and his fighting skills are possible because of his intellect.
And I tell that this will be more clear when MAPPA animate more of the manga and you will see what I mean when you reach there.
I don’t think y’all gave todo’s mentor enough credit lmao. She definitely understood him. She even says something about forcing non sorcerers into chaotic combat to fight each to either die or become sorcerers. Then says, “unfortunately I’m not crazy enough to do that”
Something of minor note with Gojo explaining his ability in the start of the episode, Shoko saying the constant use of limitless would “fry his brain” is more in the sense that just leaving it on would be strenuous and exhaust his brain over long periods. Gojo is using RCT to essentially constantly refresh his brain to prevent exhaustion, he’s not actually constantly causing and repairing trauma to his brain, more so just keeping it in a constant state of being fully rested. I think the author has even said that Gojo’s need for sleep is now much less than the average person as well for that reason (I’m sure someone will correct me if I’ve made a mistake there). Basically he saw how Toji got the jump on him and said “never again.”
Well they say that the link between cursed techniques and the brain are still unknown so Gojo playing around with his brain and constantly "refreshing" it may have consequences who knows.
Bro dont even leave footprints either. Got tracked with small ones and in season 1 he stepped on anys and didnt even bother them. To mock the headmaster mostly but also shows no physical traces either
You should watch some of the english covers/translations of the intro and outro. It really reveals a lot about Gojo and Geto's mindsets at this time.
What if, Gojo actually pulled the trigger on Geto right there? Crazy to even think how things would've transpired after that. The whole flo
It’s deep to ask are you the strongest cause you were born as you. Or as you the strongest because you are you. It’s the idea of talent vs being gifted. Cause in many ways he his born gifted but there’s a level of you can take that for granted and another level where you exceed that level with effort
Not Yuki's fault for Geto's turning, but it certainly didn't help when Gato was already spiring. When Hibara died, it did bring to question why they do the things they do for people that don't understand or cause their deaths. Seeing the girls in the cage was the last straw and decided to kill the whole village. In the last scene with the cult, the guy he called up and killed was the man that put the hit on Riko, to me I say deserve.
Geto became my favorite character after this arc. I feel for the tragic backstory villian, let's pull an Erin Yeager. (Don't actually because that is so fucked up.) We gotta change the system.
Until you know. until you know how Geto is alive! So excited!
Love to watch u cant wait for more of jujutsu kaisen ❤
Geto would've 100% still turned bad, it's just that if Yuki and him hadn't had their talk, he wouldn't have a goal. It's thanks to Yuki that Geto came to the realization that non-sorcerers are root of his suffering (by his own technique, and the fact he has to constantly risk his life and watch his friends do the same, and having experience when one of them fail, and this whole arc) and that if he got rid of them he would be changing the world for the better, and thus, all of his actions moving forward are made with that goal in mind. But if Yuki hadn't come to him, he would've just snapped after seeing the girls in the cage and went on a rampage, he wouldn't have taken over the cult to slowly amass curses to eventually wage a war on Jujutsu High and then wage war on non-sorcerers, he would've just went killing as many non-sorcerers as possible to try and satiate his hatred, never stopping until Gojo finally realizes theres no other choice and is forced to kill him. So while I agree that Geto was already primed and ready to snap and Yuki was the one that prompted him to become the monkey killing cultist he is today, that wasn't the breaking point, meeting those two girls is what made him snap, and as long as he does meet them there is no saving him. Yuki just gave him a good reason to fulfill his hateful desires and just overall helped him think more clearly.
Gosh, Montanna's takes are such a treat (Kenny's too of course). I hate watching anime in English but I love LOVE your content. I wish that you watch it in Japanese but I understand why you don't.
The man geto crushed to death was the same guy that had put the hit on riko
You guys should gets headphone sets for each of you so you can listen to the music in these shows better. JJK’s soundtrack is amazing as well as MHA’s
People find Geto's plan "Horrible" because they would be the ones to die, but if your "Family" is dying protecting people that mistreat them and blames them, it would seem very understandable to say "To hell with those people". And is not killing all humans, Jujutsu Sorcerers are also humans, just no the one creating the curses.
You can't assume that people only think it's horrible because it would theoretically happen to them. I'm not in the universe of that world, I still think it's awful. Genocide, in any world, is not a good thing and should be avoided. Sure, it's a shortcut to the world he idealises, and he has valid reasons to detest non-sorcerers. But genocide is still unequivocally evil
Calling plan is not a horrible plan horrible idea yes but his plan is very smart
Fun fact the place where Gojo and Geto end their friendship is an actual place, someone visited and posted a video of it
Riko also didn’t deserve that death like man she was an Innocent in all this 😢
they didn't end their friendship bro, they can be friends and enemies as at the same time, frenemies
Time to be sad again and again and again 😭
Geto good plan
You guys should have really watched Blu Ray version for S2. Ahhh ! Why didn't your Patrons say anything regarding that ?
I mean technically the only issues with his plan are logistical. But if it’s the adapt or die thing then that could be solved somewhat
He wants to end all humans?? Feels like a big issue in the plan
@@LettsReactfor the humans he doesn't care about yes for the sorcerers he does then no. Still Hella immoral tho
@@LettsReact he wants to end all non-jutsu users. What he wants to do is basically force every human to either learn jujtsu or die.
@@ThelordHayden34 yea, and that’s a massive issue haha that’s my point
@@LettsReactAll humans? No, only who is not a sorcerer.
But that's it, the villain wants to do and change something in the world, but the heroes think it's wrong but they don't even have a better plan🤷 If you look at it without morality involved, Geto's plan is very logical and practical.
Yes, mokeys thats the feeling I cgoose to, Geto :)
YOU ARE MY SPECIAL
PLEASE do a reaction video or at least just go listen to the English translations of the opening and ending, they add so much context and are so emotional
plan
This Geto and Gojo interaction sparked a lot of memes. Please find that Trump meeting Biden meme.
Can you put the anime called masou gakuen hxh (hybrid x heart magias Academy ataraxia
Are you reactors because you react? Or do you react because you are reactors?
Get off your high horse, your guys noses are just pointing upwards.
Day 3 of asking you guys to watch One Punch Man3️⃣(This episode is easily top 5 best JJK episodes OAT)
Why are they shocked when they literally saw the movie before watching this. And he pretty much explained his entire goal in that movie.
It’s shocking figuring out how exactly it happened lol, that’s like saying it wasn’t shocking when Gojo practically passed away in his fight with Toji because we know he’s alive later
21:28 its funny u mentioned the music its pretty hard to tell by just watching the show but the entire arc has been filled with music using a gojo leitmotif and if u listen to the official upload of this track it also has the gojo leitmotif but curiously the leitmotif has been taken out of the track just for this scene
Please react to monster if you like death note and code geass
React to "Fire Force" if you like JJK & MHA then I am sure you will definitely like to watch this anime. It has really good Power System & Good plot 👍
There's no way they'd like Fire Punch. Kenny maybe, but Montana definitely wouldn't like the gratuitous fanservice. The amount and placement of it genuinely ruins the show.
Yea too much Fan Service for now I’d say, and I’ve (Kenny) seen the first season!
I think Bofuri would be enjoyable for them
yes this Anime does have fan service but many anime also have that doesn't mean it's a bad anime it have a good plot & good Power System but still underrated compare to the amount of love this show deserve I hope in future you will see it & react to it 😊
@@Marta-uv4idIt's not Fire Punch it's "Fire Force" so don't make typo mistake & it's good show & underrated as well
Fire Punch is a manga on which the Authors of Dan Da Dan, Hell Paradise & JJK work together 👍
37:20 ok, context is important here
and that in the end is the last bit of happiness in this show 🥲
