Kashimo should have gotten more screen time in the time skip between Gojo's release from the prison realm and Shinjuku to interact with members of the cast. I could see him having some fun banter with Gojo and Itadori since he used to be Sukuna's vessel.
I believe it was fair of a fight. Sukuna would of fought him longer but he was teaching him a lesson by killing him instantly in that moment. I think the fight would of been much better with Sukuna realizing he would have to stall till Kashimos technique ends.

Not going all out with Kashimo would have killed Sukuna. Kashimo’s lightning attacks are really powerful; Sukuna knew he shouldn’t allow himself get hit by them. He may have still won a drawn-out fight, but long fights against Gojo and then Kashimo, two heavy-hitters, would have left Sukuna so depleted that Yuta might have killed him easily.
This exchange in the "afterlife" also shines a interesting light on Sukuna, it doesn't change the actual result of his moral stances, but it gives credence to some of his desires in life. Even at the top, the man finds pleasure in facing opponents with interesting, diverse and skillful applications of jujutsu sorcery, which directly ties to a sorcerer's self expression and forward thinking. He won't go down easy on anyone, but will "throw a bone" whenever he sees someone that need a push (as violent as that might entail) to become greater than they already are, even though all of his actions have self centered reasons. There is a lot to unpack from Kashimo as well, the death imposing limitation of his CT brought forth a genius-like mastery of his peculiar, electrical based cursed energy. But in the meantime it symbolically reveals that this character always had a clear intention to give his life away in combat to stop what he defines as loneliness.

Thats why sukuna refers to kashimo alongside gojo as the strongest despite him fighting yuta afterwards as he tried his hardest in respect to show kashimo what he wanted compared to when he fights yuta maki and the students you can tell hes just having fun for himself and being selfish since hes bored
@@schizophrenic512 exactly it’s obvious with him not throwing out as many attacks plus his facial expression that he’s not taking the students seriously
To be fair there were multiple instances of him getting irritated because people kept expecting him to lose. So I think he did believe he could win but because that's his mentality, he doesn't like "thinking like a loser".
Honestly Kashimo was the same as Gojo. Both of them were so much isolated because of the strength which puts them into the realm of God amongst men. They both wanted someone to tell/teach them that why do they have to suffer....why does this strength brings the loneliness or They just wanted an answer if their thoughts about this were correct or not. Gojo who wanted to go all out and fight the strongest... actually fought the strongest and was happy On the other hand Kashimo was the yap version of Gojo, He knew there was no way that he would beat him but still just like gojo he went ahead and asked the questions which kept him isolated for 400 years (Yup a Cursed object can feel the time pass). For me kashimo is a great character, My favourite line from the manga was delivered by him "Funeral for the living" also His fight with Hakari is my top 3 fights (manga)
@@1hundred1in my opinion Kashimo want to die like samurai who die in battle not age gojo want this too both of them share same pain from loneliness of being strongest and sukuna is only one who can give what they want (I want to know who can kill sukuna and made him feel peace like gojo and Kashimo)
Your analysis is really interesting especially considering both Gojo and Kashmir’s techniques. Both Gojo and Kashimo in their respective eras are the embodiment of modernism. Kashimo, however, was so extremely modern (I don’t think electricity was even discovered) he quite literally didn’t fit in his era and had more of a place in today’s age.
This was one of the best videos, and disappointed because a lot of people in the comments thinking it’s about power scaling. I love the parrlels between kashimo and gojo, and kashimo empathy is truly developed. I think it’s very powerful that kashimo sees sukuna as a divine being, but disagrees with his hedonistic life style and deems it pointless. I feel a lot of the stuff sukuna does is seen as cool, but the narrative is saying the opposite. Yuji vs sukuna is more of an ideology battle than a physical one. Each person who has the title of the strongest conducts themselves in such a different way, and I wonder how kashimo would be if he had ally’s like Gojo. Kashimo knowing love but not seeing it reminds me of people who know how to fix easy problems in their life, but they mentally block out the solution. Great video hundreds one of my top 3 alongside, “Why Gojo couldn’t reach Sukuna.”
lmfaoo completely agree with the first statement. I was like, this is a thought out video, wonder what the discussion will be like....top comments are about power scaling
He has gotten exactly what he wanted: a shot at Sukuna He even saved his CT for this match specifically. It was also a good way to take him out of the story. Even after viewing the Gojo fight, he wanted to jump a worn out Sukuna.
Kashimo is my favorite character in jjk from his design to ability being a 1 and done his want to fight the strongest because hes never been satisfied in his time is all poetic to me
I never liked the nature of one time use abilities I wish it would’ve been a binding vow to use it specifically for sukuna, I feel like that would feed well into Kashimo’s arrogance
Not a lot of people get this about the Kashimo and Gojo fights and really JJK as a whole. While the fights do involve the strength of the characters, you need to take a closer look to see that strength isn’t the main focus of any fight in this series. Its a constant clash of ideals and philosophies and thats why even if Kashimo lost in two chapters, he’s made a significant impact on the series and has definitely served his purpose.
If Kashimo was born into this modern era he certainly would’ve had a domain My idea for a mythic beast Amber domain was turning the activation of the technique itself into a functional sure hit Upon the deployment of his domain Kashimo’s opponent would be forced into using his own technique guaranteeing their death
You make some bangers but this might be your best. Every other Kashimo video ever by anyone has been power scaling and focusing on his Ls. The fact that he pulled such little book time and was this deep is just a testimony to the greatness of Geges vision and writing. I'm 💯% in with your view.
I can imagine Gojo coming out of the prison realm, everyone gathering there and Yuji dapping Gojo up, and KasHIMo just comes up and asks "Yo, can we box?"
Yeah I loved Kashimo and was disappointed at him for losing instantly but after a few weeks when my mind was clearer I realized that I was rather disappointed in Gege himself for introducing a character like him and getting him killed instantly instead of even a few chapter long bout against Sukuna. I love his character again now.
I found your channel not too long ago, but man, with videos like this, you're tapping into a side of JJK that no one else has yet Thank you man! +1 Sub earned!!!!
Great analysis, I can tell that this character and the themes conveyed mean a lot to you, and it was touching. Love when we as people can look a bit deeper under the surface and see lessons and value to be had. Even if stories are fanciful and even downright silly, it's always beautiful to see these lessons being conveyed to others through a captivating medium. ❤
He fought Sukuna after he gained the world slash without flinching and has a technique that allows him to manipulate ALL electrical-based phenomena, which would include electromagnetism. Dude is an actual monster and people need to understand that he has access to abilities that could go through Gojo's infinity due to it only working at the atomic level, with some of those abilities being his EM waves, light, different forms of radiation that fall under the EM spectrum, and he could potentially focus in on and nullify the electric field/atomic bonds of his opponents, instantly disintegrating them. Kashimo has some of the highest potential in the series, and I hope MAPPA will cook for us and display more of what he should be capable of
I think the reason why people believe he is wasted is because his fight was just too short. He could have served the same purpose with a longer fight (like 5-6 chapters long).
Yup, definitely, jjk is all about fights, and when you hype up somebody and he gets folded faster, then a grade 1 sorcerer it ain't a good look especially since his whole character was about fighting sukuna definitely wasted potential in the fight department. Hopefully, the anime does a better job, like with big ragga vs. sukuna
I'm not gonna lie. After watching your videos for close to 8 months now. I've come to the conclusion that I've genuinely been reading the story wrong. I always sat and wondered what kashimo was supposed to represent and you've shown me the way. But wtf have I been doing...
I'm so tired of seeing people complain and say characters are wasted because they show up, fight, and die. this misses the entire point of jjk. It's a story about jujutsu sorcerers clashing with their powers and philosophies. Once a character has given all they have in a fight as tragic as it seems that's all they offer in the grand story. That was the cruel part about gojo, nobody cared about him as a person or really even tried to get to know him. They only saw him for his power. That's not to say he didnt have any depth though. Jjk like many other battle manga Express the characters personalities and views through the way they fight. That's sort of what gojo meant when he said he wanted to reach sukuna and make him understand by giving it his all. Jjk isnt a slice of life character drama driven story. So complaining that certain characters are wasted because they die after they fight is just missing the point. Their worth and meaning to the story only exists through their fights.
Man I love how well written this series is in totality. It’s crazy there’s actually a “jjk is badly written” narrative that purely stands that gojo’s death even tho the meaning behind that is also well written. Gege wrote a gem that probably won’t get it’s flowers til time down the line
Watching you go through this Manga, reading it and explaining it while giving your own view on it makes jjk so much better. Keep it up and dive deeper ❤
This is so good. Reading the Gojo and Kashimo fights week to week definitely was different than going back and reading it now. This completely changes how to view the rest of this final arc going forward. Sukuna might not be fully a hedonist as we thought
Off topic but what you've said about the three strongest in their respective eras (Sukuna Kashimo Gojo) just showcases perfectly how Gojo has truly fulfilled his role as the strongest, always lifting those around him up and giving them something to strive for, seeking to make a great change for the better in his era.
There's a story in the Bible, where a woman runs up to Jesus hoping to speak to him. Jesus gives her the moment she wants and when Jesus walks away, the woman's friends run over to her because she is on her knees crying. They asked her, "What did he say? What did he tell you?" After a moment, she gathered herself and told her friends, "He told me everything I have ever done." I totally believe that we have seen everything that Sukuna has ever done. Not literally, maybe not even Sukuna's coolest looking fights in history but the point of it all, the useless of his actions, Jesus didn't have to stand there and tell the woman every moment of her life because whatever he said, explained everything that her life symbolized to her, which turned out to be mostly evil, and made her face it. Sukuna has faced his truth but he's always done the same thing, he's technically a boring character who hasn't had any growth in thousands of years. The most actual character growth Sukuna has had, just happened after he killed Higuruma and had to stop, give pause and reassure that his asinine continuance of destruction of satisfying enough to continue to do it forever.
My take away from Kashimo: me personally, I’ll never understand him and his way of life. To me, life isn’t about strength. I’ve never admired people for how “strong” they were. And I don’t admire people who go around preaching “look at how strong I am”. I admire people who do good with what they have. Regardless of physical strength and what not. Who cares if you ripped? Who cares about how much weight you can lift? I care about the people who make life good, the people who work on making the world around them better. I just want piece. From my experience, I know who I am enough to know that strength won’t change that. And I feel like these characters like Kashimo and Gojo didn’t know who they were outside of pure strength. But what I like about Kashimo was that he attempt to find out. And even tho he died, he atleast got to leave the world with a smile in knowing that he 1. Made people he beat in the past feel acknowledged 2. Got to know how he made his world different. Think about it like this. A fish is trying to find the ocean. And wherever it goes he can’t find the ocean…not knowing it’s already in the ocean, and has been exploring everything is has to offer (it’s not about the fish and the ocean…) I think this relates to Kashimo because he was seeking for an answer when really, he already had the answer…he just needed the perspective change. I already found this perspective change. So seeing Kashimo go through this is exactly why I like him. It’s not about how strong he is.
Awesome video dawg, happy to see some good and deep videos on who Kashimo is as a character instead of just power scaling him. He was already one of my favs but this video made me love the guy even more. Shout out to the JJK God of thunder
My only problem with kashimo vs sukuna is that to me it feels like there wasn’t enough to it. This is purely from a combat perspective in a sense that there was so much more we could have seen from kashimo and his technique. This is mostly from kashimo being my second favorite character and that I wanted to see more from him especially against sukuna.
Yk in hearing this and the context to the battles it makes me realize that Sakuna is more than just an antagonist, he has his role too and he realizes it and just wants to live out his days as selfishly as he can, it's a damn masterpiece
6:59 this line. Idk why but i hate it... no i loath is even. This is no sign of love. A real sign of love would be sukuna vs mahoraga a demon taught a god how to lie challanging not only his strength but mind. Sukuna gave reverense and praise unto mahoraga. This line. Its a lie that sukuna tells himself. When the flash back comes i bet sukuna will be revealed to be the heartless scoundrel i thought he was
My only major gripe with Kashimo is that his fight feels very short. It doesn’t feel like he had the title of strongest. If it was just slightly longer in a few places I think this feeling of wasted potential would go away. Though with how the anime has been adapting scenes I’m sure it will pass. I guess I too am a little greedy like Kashimo wanting a scene to be extended for my own selfish reasons.
Kashimo got the fate Gojo feared. In the airport he told Geto he went out the way he would’ve wanted. Going all out against a worthy opponent, the thrill of battling an equal; even the uncertainty of victory is a rush. Dying of old age, to them that just means a lifetime of isolation. He understood more so than the young modern sorcerers how important it is that Gojo fight alone. Gojo stated he trained hard honing his body and perfecting his techniques. Yet he had no capable of pushing him to use all he knows beyond his limits. To those who take pride in strength to such high degrees ( Kashimo, Gojo, Sukuna) an all out battle against a similar or potentially stronger opponent is always welcome. Hajime was a beast ⚡️
Just rewatched the vid to really take it in & boy was this a perfect character analysis for Kashimo. I can tell the passion that you put in this. His journey, his motivations, his personality, & you even did some Sukuna shit by proxy. Perfect Referring to Kamutoke as a filter for the strongest is the best way I’ve seen anyone interpret it as. Everyone else seems to think it was for plot connivence & honestly I myself didn’t really figure out what the strategic reason for Kamutoke existing was. But I knew Gege was cooking. Glad he has a master taste tester here to dissect his masterpiece👏❤️🔥 (P.S sorry for the second comment. Just had to get it out, in case you needed it. Or maybe I’m selfish & just wanted to share my in-wanted feedback 😎)
It’s basically feeling complete with no purpose, taking pride in your accomplishments after getting everything you wanted for awhile before realizing what’s next? What should you do now? You have everything so what’s the point of anything else when it’s just an easy battle? Edgy thoughts by Mr Flamingo
I used too and still clown on kashimo for comedic purposes but, he is unironically a well fleshed out character despite that. I still do wish he was allowed to do more against sukuna. Besides that I have no problem with character as I have learned more about him as time went on.
Notice how 99% of popular JJK takes are the worst, most emotionally driven ones. Which makes sense as people love talking about what they hate more than what they love The JJK fandom is infested with kids or adults that skipped English class. Cuz even with pictures, they can’t seem to understand anything beyond what’s explicitly said.
Well articulated ! I had similar feelings of character appreciation for Charles Bernard (precog CT), although I think that one is a lot more direct than with Kashimo’s arc ! Lol
He got worked the minute Sukuna transformed, meanwhile Yuta faired way better since his arrival. Immediately landing a punch of Sukuna. Im not even team Yuta (team Yuji all the way), but Hajime was a disappointment and got worked. My problem is, he did NOTHING besides make Sukuna transform. But after that? One sided beatdown. If Hakari just killed him, what would've changed in the story honestly. Thats what annoys me, noy only was there not enough of him....but then dead
I mean look, Kashimo fills one singular role in this story. He feels like a device that gets killed off the moment we learn something interesting about him. He's cool, I like him, but I cannot be surprised with the mixed reception he received
Maybe he have something to beat domains since the sorcerers in his era got decimated and he was Numba Uno. He never had a reason to show it since the fight ended really fast.
I’m great at the strongest battlegrounds, a roblox game, and i think this video kinda solved my problem with being the best. i’m probably top 5k in the world, and i’ve been bored. i can now see that i’m a person who new player and people can look to be as good as me or better
The crazy thing about this too is that Sukuna had to transform to beat kashimo, he couldnt have done the world slash without his other two hands. Sukuna was getting dogged if it was not for that. I dare anybody to try to argue with me otherwise.
I believe it would've been better if Kashimo felt like the Strongest since this is the only time he goes all out. It also would've solidified the theme due to someone who has reached the pinnacle going all out yet still on a clear downward spiral with the addition of showing Sukuna's enlightenment by answering Kashimo's questions. it would've guaranteed the Sukuna>Gojo that Gojo alludes too. Also, from the Sukuna gauntlet perspective, Kashimo is by far the most ineffective fighter. The only thing he accomplishes is having Sukuna use his reincarnation. Which, would be very beneficial, if only for the fact that the Sukuna was not and likely could not use any CTs, and his main source of damage(Kamutoke) was removed right after. Even if Kashimo never fought we would still be in the same position due to Sukuna likely using his reincarnation once Kamutoke gets confiscated by Higuruma.
i do love kashimo character-wise, and i think his conversation with sukuna is such an amazing send off for him, but my god his cursed technique was so disappointing. he has such a cool ability that he got to do like, three things with in total. i'm hoping anime anime expands on it when we get this fight in 2073 because i wanna see kashimo really prove he's a top-tier among top-tiers.
Ofc he’s a great and strong character. It’s really just Yuta fans that have this weird obsession with him. Then again they’re the most annoying part of the community imo besides the ppl that switch up on JJK every 3 months
@@nasteay7497 Yuta fans literally make up the majority of jjk fans you can’t be more wrong💀. Yall make up stupid reasons to not like certain characters bc of power scaling
I never understood the Kashimo hate either. Sure, I wish we could've seen him in more fights, maybe even have his vs. Sukuna fight last a bit longer... but I never would've called him wasted. At the end of the day, Kashimo fulfills his purpose to himself and to the story as a whole. He learns from another what it means to be the strongest, why he has to endure the solitude his position brings and to the narrative he gives us an introspective into Sukuna himself, the main antagonist. He sheds light on one who was otherwise a complete mystery other than "strongest sorcerer in history." Before this point we had no idea what motivated Sukuna or what his end goal was. Like it or not, as monstrous as Sukuna is based on appearance and personality, he's human. He's not a cursed spirit, he's a person with his own reasons for his actions. Does having reasons for your actions justify them? Maybe to yourself but to others? Hell no. At the end of the day, we have to accept that even the worst of us are still human. This goes for Kashimo as well, people only looked at him as the strongest when underneath all that power was a lonely old man who wanted to connect with others, not kill them.
Kashimo had one of the BEST deaths in the entire series. Dude got EXACTLY what he wanted to the T. He didn't care if he won. He wanted to die that way. That was the whole point. If he WON, then where would he be?? Back to square one lol It's just compared to top tiers like sukuna, gojo, yuta, and possibly maki and Yuji, he's not all that powerful. Compared to everyone else? They'd struggle. Actually, Miguel might win to. Dodge and play defense until kashimo runs out of gas and kills over.
Ive been debating someone about kashimo just now, in my openion, 3 only are above kashimo which are yuta, gojo and sukuna. With yuta winning extreme diff with RCT only
In short, Kamisho's character shows the value of appreciation. Even as an evil incarnate being as Sukuna, he acknowledges someone who threatens to defeat him or even insult him by proving that he is the best to them
I was the best.

I mean if we’re being real both Him and Gojo were used to push Sukuna up the hierarchy to show that Sukuna is a real and actual threat.
@@morbidzombiiisn’t that basically everytime sukuna appeared on screen?
This was one of the best videos, and disappointed because a lot of people in the comments thinking it’s about power scaling. I love the parrlels between kashimo and gojo, and kashimo empathy is truly developed. I think it’s very powerful that kashimo sees sukuna as a divine being, but disagrees with his hedonistic life style and deems it pointless. I feel a lot of the stuff sukuna does is seen as cool, but the narrative is saying the opposite. Yuji vs sukuna is more of an ideology battle than a physical one. Each person who has the title of the strongest conducts themselves in such a different way, and I wonder how kashimo would be if he had ally’s like Gojo. Kashimo knowing love but not seeing it reminds me of people who know how to fix easy problems in their life, but they mentally block out the solution. Great video hundreds one of my top 3 alongside, “Why Gojo couldn’t reach Sukuna.”
Coook 🗣️🔥
lmfaoo completely agree with the first statement. I was like, this is a thought out video, wonder what the discussion will be like....top comments are about power scaling
Yeah some people need to reread and focus on the character and the mental side of series rather than power scale and shit.
He has gotten exactly what he wanted: a shot at Sukuna
He even saved his CT for this match specifically. It was also a good way to take him out of the story.
Even after viewing the Gojo fight, he wanted to jump a worn out Sukuna.
Kashimo is my favorite character in jjk from his design to ability being a 1 and done his want to fight the strongest because hes never been satisfied in his time is all poetic to me
I never liked the nature of one time use abilities I wish it would’ve been a binding vow to use it specifically for sukuna, I feel like that would feed well into Kashimo’s arrogance
Not a lot of people get this about the Kashimo and Gojo fights and really JJK as a whole. While the fights do involve the strength of the characters, you need to take a closer look to see that strength isn’t the main focus of any fight in this series. Its a constant clash of ideals and philosophies and thats why even if Kashimo lost in two chapters, he’s made a significant impact on the series and has definitely served his purpose.
If Kashimo was born into this modern era he certainly would’ve had a domain
My idea for a mythic beast Amber domain was turning the activation of the technique itself into a functional sure hit
Upon the deployment of his domain Kashimo’s opponent would be forced into using his own technique guaranteeing their death
I would have loved to see him be so fast, that his physical and electricity attacks to be just as fast as a sure hit effect from a DE.
Stand proud kashimo, you are the greatest farmer throughout heaven and earth.
You make some bangers but this might be your best. Every other Kashimo video ever by anyone has been power scaling and focusing on his Ls. The fact that he pulled such little book time and was this deep is just a testimony to the greatness of Geges vision and writing. I'm 💯% in with your view.
Kashimo also shows people only look at the strongest for their strength instead of looking at the actual person
If Sukuna didn’t exist, Kashimo would have immediately tried to throw hands with fresh-outta-jail Gojo.
I can imagine Gojo coming out of the prison realm, everyone gathering there and Yuji dapping Gojo up, and KasHIMo just comes up and asks "Yo, can we box?"
But then would have gotten one banged
Yeah I loved Kashimo and was disappointed at him for losing instantly but after a few weeks when my mind was clearer I realized that I was rather disappointed in Gege himself for introducing a character like him and getting him killed instantly instead of even a few chapter long bout against Sukuna. I love his character again now.
I found your channel not too long ago, but man, with videos like this, you're tapping into a side of JJK that no one else has yet
Thank you man! +1 Sub earned!!!!
kashimo so cool and relatable
the strongest but willing to be a student to life
Kashimo is easily one of the best characters in JJK
Was*
😭😭😭let him have this
The music choices are always top notch! Maple and Nier are top tier for background 🙏
what are the songs
Great analysis, I can tell that this character and the themes conveyed mean a lot to you, and it was touching. Love when we as people can look a bit deeper under the surface and see lessons and value to be had. Even if stories are fanciful and even downright silly, it's always beautiful to see these lessons being conveyed to others through a captivating medium. ❤
He fought Sukuna after he gained the world slash without flinching and has a technique that allows him to manipulate ALL electrical-based phenomena, which would include electromagnetism. Dude is an actual monster and people need to understand that he has access to abilities that could go through Gojo's infinity due to it only working at the atomic level, with some of those abilities being his EM waves, light, different forms of radiation that fall under the EM spectrum, and he could potentially focus in on and nullify the electric field/atomic bonds of his opponents, instantly disintegrating them. Kashimo has some of the highest potential in the series, and I hope MAPPA will cook for us and display more of what he should be capable of
I think the reason why people believe he is wasted is because his fight was just too short. He could have served the same purpose with a longer fight (like 5-6 chapters long).
Yup, definitely, jjk is all about fights, and when you hype up somebody and he gets folded faster, then a grade 1 sorcerer it ain't a good look especially since his whole character was about fighting sukuna definitely wasted potential in the fight department. Hopefully, the anime does a better job, like with big ragga vs. sukuna
I'm not gonna lie. After watching your videos for close to 8 months now. I've come to the conclusion that I've genuinely been reading the story wrong. I always sat and wondered what kashimo was supposed to represent and you've shown me the way. But wtf have I been doing...
you're probably one of my earliest subs actually. i very rarely see anybody with more than 8 months. you have 10, very grateful for your support bro.
@@1hundred1 you're one of the few I've found that does actual analysis of the story and not just agenda talk. So thank you for making quality content.
i can actually scale him even higher, easily 3rd strongest of the verse
I'm so tired of seeing people complain and say characters are wasted because they show up, fight, and die. this misses the entire point of jjk. It's a story about jujutsu sorcerers clashing with their powers and philosophies. Once a character has given all they have in a fight as tragic as it seems that's all they offer in the grand story. That was the cruel part about gojo, nobody cared about him as a person or really even tried to get to know him. They only saw him for his power. That's not to say he didnt have any depth though. Jjk like many other battle manga Express the characters personalities and views through the way they fight. That's sort of what gojo meant when he said he wanted to reach sukuna and make him understand by giving it his all. Jjk isnt a slice of life character drama driven story. So complaining that certain characters are wasted because they die after they fight is just missing the point. Their worth and meaning to the story only exists through their fights.
It was so funny to watch the copers and fanboys of Gojo emulate the exact behaviour that isolated him. Gege has humanity's number 💀
Well said!
Man I love how well written this series is in totality. It’s crazy there’s actually a “jjk is badly written” narrative that purely stands that gojo’s death even tho the meaning behind that is also well written. Gege wrote a gem that probably won’t get it’s flowers til time down the line
It’s a pretty valid sentiment, considering the duration of his fight with the king of curses and how his Talk no Jujutsu was pointless
so you can't read??
@@orltyam2464when has the jjk fandom ever learnt to read?
Watching you go through this Manga, reading it and explaining it while giving your own view on it makes jjk so much better. Keep it up and dive deeper ❤
This is so good. Reading the Gojo and Kashimo fights week to week definitely was different than going back and reading it now. This completely changes how to view the rest of this final arc going forward. Sukuna might not be fully a hedonist as we thought
Off topic but what you've said about the three strongest in their respective eras (Sukuna Kashimo Gojo) just showcases perfectly how Gojo has truly fulfilled his role as the strongest, always lifting those around him up and giving them something to strive for, seeking to make a great change for the better in his era.
Damn i was not expecting such a valuable life lesson from a JJK video but here we are 🔥🔥🔥
Love these breakdowns gng keep em coming 🔥hope Megumi is next
Kashimo, the waffled one, would be better with some chicken.
There's a story in the Bible, where a woman runs up to Jesus hoping to speak to him. Jesus gives her the moment she wants and when Jesus walks away, the woman's friends run over to her because she is on her knees crying. They asked her, "What did he say? What did he tell you?" After a moment, she gathered herself and told her friends, "He told me everything I have ever done."
I totally believe that we have seen everything that Sukuna has ever done. Not literally, maybe not even Sukuna's coolest looking fights in history but the point of it all, the useless of his actions, Jesus didn't have to stand there and tell the woman every moment of her life because whatever he said, explained everything that her life symbolized to her, which turned out to be mostly evil, and made her face it. Sukuna has faced his truth but he's always done the same thing, he's technically a boring character who hasn't had any growth in thousands of years.
The most actual character growth Sukuna has had, just happened after he killed Higuruma and had to stop, give pause and reassure that his asinine continuance of destruction of satisfying enough to continue to do it forever.
Finally some farmer appreciation. Another level 💯 vid
A Kashimo video as I clock out for lunch .. impeccable timing 😮💨🤌🏾
My take away from Kashimo:
me personally, I’ll never understand him and his way of life. To me, life isn’t about strength. I’ve never admired people for how “strong” they were. And I don’t admire people who go around preaching “look at how strong I am”. I admire people who do good with what they have. Regardless of physical strength and what not. Who cares if you ripped? Who cares about how much weight you can lift? I care about the people who make life good, the people who work on making the world around them better.
I just want piece. From my experience, I know who I am enough to know that strength won’t change that. And I feel like these characters like Kashimo and Gojo didn’t know who they were outside of pure strength. But what I like about Kashimo was that he attempt to find out. And even tho he died, he atleast got to leave the world with a smile in knowing that he
1. Made people he beat in the past feel acknowledged
2. Got to know how he made his world different.
Think about it like this. A fish is trying to find the ocean. And wherever it goes he can’t find the ocean…not knowing it’s already in the ocean, and has been exploring everything is has to offer (it’s not about the fish and the ocean…) I think this relates to Kashimo because he was seeking for an answer when really, he already had the answer…he just needed the perspective change. I already found this perspective change. So seeing Kashimo go through this is exactly why I like him. It’s not about how strong he is.
Thank you for the Kashimo coverage! One of my favourite characters but super mischaracterised in both extremes
Amazing video, this very much got me to better understand kashimo even tho the fight was quick the meaning of it meant a lot
About time you made a video about your goat😂🔥🔥🔥
throughout the pancakes and the pastries, he alone is the waffled one
Thank you! Kashimo vs. Sukuna was one of my favorite fights, the conversation in the woods (Cursed Realm) being one of my favorite in anime\manga.
Always love hearing about Kashimo, I only wish he had one more fight.
Awesome video dawg, happy to see some good and deep videos on who Kashimo is as a character instead of just power scaling him. He was already one of my favs but this video made me love the guy even more. Shout out to the JJK God of thunder
My only problem with kashimo vs sukuna is that to me it feels like there wasn’t enough to it. This is purely from a combat perspective in a sense that there was so much more we could have seen from kashimo and his technique. This is mostly from kashimo being my second favorite character and that I wanted to see more from him especially against sukuna.
Bruh... Fantastic analysis of Kashimo while clearly demonstrating what strength, solitude and love mean in this story.
This was excellent execution and exactly what I’ve been thinking when kashimo first entered the story his death was definitely the saddest to me
W KasHIMo vid, totally agree with you
He really is one of the deepest characters in JJK...
Yk in hearing this and the context to the battles it makes me realize that Sakuna is more than just an antagonist, he has his role too and he realizes it and just wants to live out his days as selfishly as he can, it's a damn masterpiece
6:59 this line. Idk why but i hate it... no i loath is even. This is no sign of love. A real sign of love would be sukuna vs mahoraga a demon taught a god how to lie challanging not only his strength but mind. Sukuna gave reverense and praise unto mahoraga. This line. Its a lie that sukuna tells himself. When the flash back comes i bet sukuna will be revealed to be the heartless scoundrel i thought he was
My only major gripe with Kashimo is that his fight feels very short. It doesn’t feel like he had the title of strongest. If it was just slightly longer in a few places I think this feeling of wasted potential would go away.
Though with how the anime has been adapting scenes I’m sure it will pass. I guess I too am a little greedy like Kashimo wanting a scene to be extended for my own selfish reasons.
Kashimo got the fate Gojo feared. In the airport he told Geto he went out the way he would’ve wanted.
Going all out against a worthy opponent, the thrill of battling an equal; even the uncertainty of victory is a rush.
Dying of old age, to them that just means a lifetime of isolation.
He understood more so than the young modern sorcerers how important it is that Gojo fight alone.
Gojo stated he trained hard honing his body and perfecting his techniques. Yet he had no capable of pushing him to use all he knows beyond his limits.
To those who take pride in strength to such high degrees ( Kashimo, Gojo, Sukuna) an all out battle against a similar or potentially stronger opponent is always welcome.
Hajime was a beast ⚡️
Very well done video and great analysis on a very overhated and over memed character in Kashimo
Just rewatched the vid to really take it in & boy was this a perfect character analysis for Kashimo. I can tell the passion that you put in this. His journey, his motivations, his personality, & you even did some Sukuna shit by proxy. Perfect
Referring to Kamutoke as a filter for the strongest is the best way I’ve seen anyone interpret it as. Everyone else seems to think it was for plot connivence & honestly I myself didn’t really figure out what the strategic reason for Kamutoke existing was. But I knew Gege was cooking. Glad he has a master taste tester here to dissect his masterpiece👏❤️🔥
(P.S sorry for the second comment. Just had to get it out, in case you needed it. Or maybe I’m selfish & just wanted to share my in-wanted feedback 😎)
I appreciate you king
It’s basically feeling complete with no purpose, taking pride in your accomplishments after getting everything you wanted for awhile before realizing what’s next? What should you do now? You have everything so what’s the point of anything else when it’s just an easy battle?
Edgy thoughts by Mr Flamingo
Christ bless you, didnt expect this to be so motivational
I used too and still clown on kashimo for comedic purposes but, he is unironically a well fleshed out character despite that. I still do wish he was allowed to do more against sukuna. Besides that I have no problem with character as I have learned more about him as time went on.
He ain't beating the farmer allegations
Notice how 99% of popular JJK takes are the worst, most emotionally driven ones. Which makes sense as people love talking about what they hate more than what they love
The JJK fandom is infested with kids or adults that skipped English class. Cuz even with pictures, they can’t seem to understand anything beyond what’s explicitly said.
Well articulated ! I had similar feelings of character appreciation for Charles Bernard (precog CT), although I think that one is a lot more direct than with Kashimo’s arc ! Lol
He got worked the minute Sukuna transformed, meanwhile Yuta faired way better since his arrival. Immediately landing a punch of Sukuna. Im not even team Yuta (team Yuji all the way), but Hajime was a disappointment and got worked.
My problem is, he did NOTHING besides make Sukuna transform. But after that? One sided beatdown. If Hakari just killed him, what would've changed in the story honestly. Thats what annoys me, noy only was there not enough of him....but then dead
Great job 🤛
Like Kashimo, Gojo also wants to challenge Sukuna, because they are lonely.
I mean look, Kashimo fills one singular role in this story. He feels like a device that gets killed off the moment we learn something interesting about him. He's cool, I like him, but I cannot be surprised with the mixed reception he received
Bro is Just Lacking Feats and is instant fodder to Domains
that isnt the point, it isnt about powerscaling its about character and how hes treated
@@schizophrenic512 bro I am always powerscaling 🤓
@@woods2307
Maybe he have something to beat domains since the sorcerers in his era got decimated and he was Numba Uno. He never had a reason to show it since the fight ended really fast.
@@woods2307 nop, he can defeat sorcerers with domains, except if the domain is an inta-win like gojo's or sukuna's
What's the piano in the back :) i was trying to find it cuz it sounds so familiar, i think its from jjk?
I’m great at the strongest battlegrounds, a roblox game, and i think this video kinda solved my problem with being the best. i’m probably top 5k in the world, and i’ve been bored. i can now see that i’m a person who new player and people can look to be as good as me or better
The crazy thing about this too is that Sukuna had to transform to beat kashimo, he couldnt have done the world slash without his other two hands. Sukuna was getting dogged if it was not for that. I dare anybody to try to argue with me otherwise.
This is a brilliant video
I believe it would've been better if Kashimo felt like the Strongest since this is the only time he goes all out. It also would've solidified the theme due to someone who has reached the pinnacle going all out yet still on a clear downward spiral with the addition of showing Sukuna's enlightenment by answering Kashimo's questions. it would've guaranteed the Sukuna>Gojo that Gojo alludes too. Also, from the Sukuna gauntlet perspective, Kashimo is by far the most ineffective fighter. The only thing he accomplishes is having Sukuna use his reincarnation. Which, would be very beneficial, if only for the fact that the Sukuna was not and likely could not use any CTs, and his main source of damage(Kamutoke) was removed right after. Even if Kashimo never fought we would still be in the same position due to Sukuna likely using his reincarnation once Kamutoke gets confiscated by Higuruma.
Love the beginning background music 🫡🫡🫡
Kashimo was one of my favourites and I’m pretty satisfied with his ending he came in with one goal and did it
GOATED character, but I would've like some extra chapters of him fighting.
I have a quotation, why is jjk Shonen but not seinen? How are we kids suppose to understand this complex topics while reading.
You can. I'm happy JJK takes the kid gloves off; it reminds me of when I was a kid, and we had media like JLU and ATLA.
Imagine in a filler Ep we get to see a light sparing session with Gojo and Kashimo
i do love kashimo character-wise, and i think his conversation with sukuna is such an amazing send off for him, but my god his cursed technique was so disappointing. he has such a cool ability that he got to do like, three things with in total. i'm hoping anime anime expands on it when we get this fight in 2073 because i wanna see kashimo really prove he's a top-tier among top-tiers.
Ofc he’s a great and strong character. It’s really just Yuta fans that have this weird obsession with him. Then again they’re the most annoying part of the community imo besides the ppl that switch up on JJK every 3 months
@@nasteay7497 Yuta fans literally make up the majority of jjk fans you can’t be more wrong💀. Yall make up stupid reasons to not like certain characters bc of power scaling
@@nasteay7497 you just proved his point
Stand proud kashimo u surpassed the rice farmers 😢
Sukuna
I hope yuji gets cursed energy like Kashimo and hakari but with blood
The waffled one
I never understood the Kashimo hate either. Sure, I wish we could've seen him in more fights, maybe even have his vs. Sukuna fight last a bit longer... but I never would've called him wasted. At the end of the day, Kashimo fulfills his purpose to himself and to the story as a whole. He learns from another what it means to be the strongest, why he has to endure the solitude his position brings and to the narrative he gives us an introspective into Sukuna himself, the main antagonist. He sheds light on one who was otherwise a complete mystery other than "strongest sorcerer in history." Before this point we had no idea what motivated Sukuna or what his end goal was.
Like it or not, as monstrous as Sukuna is based on appearance and personality, he's human. He's not a cursed spirit, he's a person with his own reasons for his actions. Does having reasons for your actions justify them? Maybe to yourself but to others? Hell no. At the end of the day, we have to accept that even the worst of us are still human. This goes for Kashimo as well, people only looked at him as the strongest when underneath all that power was a lonely old man who wanted to connect with others, not kill them.
Kashimo had one of the BEST deaths in the entire series. Dude got EXACTLY what he wanted to the T. He didn't care if he won. He wanted to die that way. That was the whole point. If he WON, then where would he be?? Back to square one lol
It's just compared to top tiers like sukuna, gojo, yuta, and possibly maki and Yuji, he's not all that powerful. Compared to everyone else? They'd struggle.
Actually, Miguel might win to. Dodge and play defense until kashimo runs out of gas and kills over.
Amazing video and commentary
You must be called nobody because you indeed understand kashimo
Character doesn't do what audience wants despite having their arc fulfilled with a good message = erm what the mid?
Ive been debating someone about kashimo just now, in my openion, 3 only are above kashimo which are yuta, gojo and sukuna. With yuta winning extreme diff with RCT only
another banger video
This analysis was perfect
The Near Automata ost is so good (It sounds like a medieval version)
Not gonna lie this video helped me understand this, thank you
Kashimo is about to be every anime-only’s favorite one-hit wonder.
Bout time my mans got some respekkk
In short, Kamisho's character shows the value of appreciation.
Even as an evil incarnate being as Sukuna, he acknowledges someone who threatens to defeat him or even insult him by proving that he is the best to them
All I know about this man is the Gojo memes.
"Looks female enough."
I hate the internet.
