@LettsReact BTW do you guys react to anime only? Are there plans to watch "live-action" shows in the future? I'd love to see you two reacting to True Detective S1 although I have a feeling you might have already watched it :)
I think you focused too much on the "killing people" bit and overlooked who Gojo wanted to kill, they were clapping for the death of kid, a kid they became quite fond off.
Yes, exactly. I dont know why they didnt understand how messed up that was. Of course Gojo wanted to kill them. And it shows how Gojo and Getos positions are reversed here.
@@Panda-kn6zo It's unclear on purpose to feel off-putting. They could've made it clearer, but it would be less cool. Just feel proud you watch enough media that you got it instantly instead of getting mad, if it was easy to understand it would have been understood by more reactors you watched, and we can trust the anime enough to say it was told this way on purpose so people would feel it was off. If anything, you'd need to be mad at the anime if you wanted more people to get it over what's shown.
@@johndinner4418 except the post credit scene makes it very clear by saying it multiple times. ”These are just ordinary followers, the leaders are probanly long gone”. The context itself, them clapping like braincontrolled ppl in all white pyjamas etc. It’s absolutely not a matter of being clear or not understanding the context. LISTEN instead of speaking over stuff to crack a joke or something
This is such a symbolic episode. The way Gojo gets Toji's blessing(meaning megumi, which translates to blessing in english), and Geto getting his curse.
Little fun fact: The curse that asked if she was pretty is based off a Japanese legend. The slit mouthed woman. Basically if you say no she kills you, and if you say she is, she runs the blade across your own mouth to make you look like her.
Yeah i think it's Kuchisake Onna and once u encounter her u are done for cause she doen't take a third answer or some. Only way to survive is to tell her u are pretty and get ur mouth slit from one cheek to another :/
The people clapping at the end were the Star Religious group if I’m not mistaken. So they were more or less clapping for the dead Riko. So seeing how gross that is Gojo just is like “should we just kill them?”

The clues where all there 1.where did they find her body. /In the building where the star religion group was 2.who where those people clapping. /Considering where they are star religion group followers
if you look at hidden inventory arc opening there's a scene showing hands clapping with the music while showing gojo and geto walking opposite directions
Godhood, or enlightenment? Buddha did not ascend to godhood but attained enlightenment. In Buddhism, enlightenment is a state of spiritual awakening or liberation/alleviation from suffering. It's not about becoming a god but rather about understanding the nature of reality and achieving a state of inner peace. Buddha is often referred to as "The Enlightened One" or "The Buddha" due to his attainment of this state. His teachings, known as the Dharma, focus on the path to enlightenment through the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.
@@SheddedSnake999 you have an inflexible, to the letter "understanding". thats why you are wrong. this is because your definition of "God" is also to the letter. achieving enlightenment, entering non-dual awareness, is becoming aware that there are no dualities, thus achieving the realization of Oneness of all, is Godhood. "I alone am the Honored One" is from the POV of non-dual perception, thus God declares that he alone is God, the world honored one. Because there is nothing other than God. every individual has the capacity to realize that there is no individualism. its an illusion, there is just one Whole which appears as the many. that Whole, that One - is the World Honored One - the Buddha. the Buddha is thus not a person. In other frameworks, they call that thing "God". Not a "god" or many "gods", but the ultimate God, that which begets the all else, the little "gods". You must not conflate "God" with "god", there is a fine distinction. gods are persons, God is not a person. because everything else other than God is a simluation or imagination within it, into which it injects itself, making up all the "living beings" in its imaginations, you and me. emptiness is the buddhist definition of God. empty of concepts or words to capture it, encompassing everything - all come out of it, all go back into it - others call it "Ineffable". in meditation, random thoughts appear out of it and go back to it! some call it "Fullness". and there are those who refer to it as the "Void". *when the individual becomes aware that it is the whole,* this is called "enlightenment", salvation, liberation, moksha, etc. what technical terms you use, which religious framework you use, does not matter. its like referring to puberty with different terms due to using different languages and trying to state that "our concept of puberty is different than yours". which can not be. enlightenment is the same across all humans, its a living beings' phenomenon, not a religious phenomenon. it does not differ. its technical descriptions differ. thus one must be flexible enough to piece the puzzles. as Buddha himself said - to take all in and evaluate yourself and leave the bad out. come and see for yourself. does not only apply to buddhism. EDIT: the buddhist reasoning for the source of suffering being impermanence and "all" things being impermanent (with a caveat), directly logically implies permanence, because the solution to suffering is offered and there can be no impermanence in the solution, it must be permanent, otherwise it would be no solution, because its impermanence would also lead to suffering yet again. therefore, permanence is NOT refused in buddhism! there is only one thing which is permanent and that is God. which is non-dual awareness, a potential within all living beings. unity consciousness. this is what all the religions teach and this is the source for the golden rule, which all legit religions have. you can do others no wrong, if you know the "other" is you. so do to the others as you would want it to be done to yourself - this is the mode of operation when one is still asleep. once awakened, this mode becomes self evident.
@@controlequebrado4455 no, pantheism gives qualia to material reality and states that the sum of all of material existence is "god". this is not what im stating. what im stating is that material universe does not exist. (heck, its not even me stating it, its what these traditions all state: advaita vedanta [absolute reality, turiyam - the 4th], mahayana buddhism, sufism [al-hak], mystical christianity, etc.) material reality (this universe) is an illuision. a projection, a "dream", a simulation. its the "matrix" - the allegorical cave of Plato, its samsara/maya, its the divine play (lila). ... all within the mind of "God" - the only thing that really is. everything else being illusory.
21:46 this is a good foreshadowing. When gojo asks Geto if he wants to kill all these people, Geto refuses. However if you notice the colors they’re standing in it shows something else. Gojo is in the red part which means he rejects his own idea, while Geto is in the blue part which accepts that idea hence why Geto hates non sorcerers that much (Gojo’s blue attracts objects, while red repels).
He stabbed him on the neck, opened him up throat to balls, stabbed 3 more times in the thigh and then stabbed his head. Granted, if he decapitated him he would've died for sure, but if that was the case all things considered, you would be saying he went too far.
_"Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honoured one"_ is said to have been spoken by Buddha soon after his birth. Gojo was definitely floating high on his own superiority complex when he said that, no cursed technique needed.
I love Toji going off about people being born better but him beating them anyways. My guy, you were born with the potential to be a supersoldier, its not like you hit the gym and earned that dorrito shape. Youre just as much blessed by birth as any of them.
A heavenly restriction for an ordinary person might seem like a blessing but to the Zenin clan who revere cursed techniques above all and treat those with little to no cursed energy as second class citizens he was brought up to believe in the world of jujutsu he was nothing more than a "monkey". Do you think he took to calling himself that out of nowhere? Toji didn't have it great growing up but he was able to turn his "curse" into a "blessing" by becoming one of the greatest sorcerer bounty hunters.
So basically, we know that Gojo has Limitless, which is essentially the power to stop. He can stop ANYTHING because there is infinite space between him, and whatever that thing is. He also has Six Eyes though, a technique which gives him EXTREME control over cursed energy, so he can manipulate that Infinite space into two things. Infinite Repulsion (Red) Infinite Attraction (Blue) Now, if you take the Infinite Repulsion of Red and Infinite Attraction of Blue, and smash them together really hard, they push and pull at each other with infinite force and unleash an absurd amount of energy. So much energy, that it creates Imaginary Mass (basically antimatter) and when that Imaginary Mass meets real Mass, they cancel out and both cease to exist. This is Hollow Purple (Hollow because there is no true mass inside of it, its essentially a black hole). Gojo can literally destroy matter.
Actually uhhh, not exactly. My explanation is going to be a little long and I don't want to waste my time writing a little essay to just be ignored by everyone. If you need my answer, you can reply under this comment.
@@SheddedSnake999 ok, so lets begin with the Basics- Gojo's cursed technique is limitless, not the six eyes and neither the six eyes are any espect of his cursed technique. 2. Six eyes- Six eyes are a physical organ. It lets the user see and use Curse energy very efficiently, it can also detect if anyone has any Curse techniques and it can detect the use of Curse techniques too, plus also it could detect different souls in a body ( if the user really focuses) and obviously it gives the user super vision and a ton of information, all of this at the same time. That's why gojo wears a blind fold. With six eyes gojo barely loses any Curse energy while using his techniques because six eyes makes his usage of curse energy to produce a strong technique so efficient that barely any curse energy goes to waste. Thus it feels like gojo has an infinite amount of Curse energy but he doesn't. It's just more efficient because of the six eyes. 3. Gojo's limitless- Gojo's limitless has two applications- infinity and his blue. A. Infinity is based on actual Mathematical calculation. Basically gojo's infinity creates an infinite space around him by infinitely dividing the distance between the object and himself. So the approaching object slowly slows down and in the end doesn't even reach him. B. Blue is another application of his limitless. Basically blue is a very large amount of condensed curse energy and curse energy is negative energy but the world around it is made out of positive energy so it all moves towards blue. C. Red- Gojo's reversal red is basically just if blue was made out of positive curse energy. So gojo combines two negative curse energy (curse energy is always negative) to create positive curse energy. Negative curse energy can't heal humans, only positive curse energy can because although we create curse energy, we are not made out of it but curses are and that's why they can heal themselves through curse energy. So again getting back to the point, if blue attracts the world towards it because it's negative cursed energy. Then a lot of condensed positive cursed energy pushes the world. Important -Remember reverse curse energy heals people and when you apply that reverse curesd energy in your technique, it produces the opposite effect of your original cursed technique. Example- gojo's blue becomes red. And that's called cursed technique reversal. D. Purple- gojo's hollow purple happens by collapsing blue and red and that creates an imaginary mass, that is hollow purple. Hollow purple isn't anti matter, it isn't a black hole. It's clearly stated by the creator. I also had this misconception. *A little spoiler, doesn't really reveal anything big for the plot- We will see a literal black hole as a attack in season 3 but it's not by gojo. 😉
Gojo wanted to kill those folks clapping cause they are celebrating Amanai's death.😅 PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF HOW the clapping sound is put to focus cause that's a vital point in Geto's change. Didnt want to spoil but I feel like we might as well give a hint. THOSE PEOPLE CLAPPING ARE NON SORCERERS. Hence the flip. The NON SORCERERS are celebrating the death of someone in the jujutsu circle.
And we have arrived at the turning point of Gojo and Geto's characters. With his enlightenment of sorts, Gojo has become the unstoppable force we know him as. But while this was a moment of ascent for Gojo, this planted the seeds of Geto's hatred for non-sorcerers. We see that Geto *does* want to wreak havoc among the group, but convinces himself that he shouldn't, that it's not what a sorcerer should do, but it's obvious that he's convincing himself of that instead of firmly believing it like in the earlier episodes of season 2.
Fun fact: the chain that toji attaches the inverted spear to is also a curse tool that works by increasing its length to however long it needs to be, so long as the end of the chain is hidden or unseen. So keeping it inside the worm curse is a good place. It's also stated that Toji tamed the worm by training it like a cat, I believe. But can someone clarify something for me? When Geto tried to take the worm away from him, he failed. Can someone confirm if Toji negated it with the inverted spear or if the worm couldn't go to geto because it bonded with Toji?
Yep as the first reply said, the curse bonded with Toji and so Geto couldn't absorb it. It's also the reason why in JJK 0 we see Geto saying he had to kill Yuta to obtain Rika as they were bonded.
This event is how geto learned that he can’t claim spirits that are bonded to other people until their bonded people are dead, no matter how weak they are. The spirit only came to him after Tojo died. This is also why he immediately went to trying to kill yuta to get rika a few years later
Just a curiosity, when Toji says "blessing" meaning Geto is "blessed" he is starting to remember that him gave for his soon the name "Megumi" because Megumi = Blessing. The kind of thing dubs can't help, but i think Subtitles could help too.
Kenny: What caused the flip? Erm, I dunnooo.... gee, perhaps AMANAI’s death and the whole situation???? Gojo and Geto here are shocked and disgusted at how these people are applauding the death of a young girl and their realisation of how messed up everything is. Whats not to understand?
“Through all the Heavens and the Earth, I alone am the honored one” is what the Buddha said when he was born, so Gojo is obviously being related to the Buddha/achieving enlightenment
It was interesting to see that this episode had a similar scene from the end of the first episode of the series with Gojo and Geto in a dark hallway, Gojo holding a lifeless body and one of them under a red light like when Megumi and Yuji saved his club friends in a dark hallway under a red light and one of them holding an unconscious girl.
So Gojo's line of "Throughout Heaven and Earth I alone am the honored one" is a reference to the Buddha who said a similar line when ascended beyond his human form and achieved enlightenment Gojo said it because like that Buddha he "transcended" in a way however the big difference though is that it's just pure arrogance when Gojo says it.
this is one instance where dubs can be lacking, though it can be hard to notice unless you're somewhat familiar with japanese to listen for it, but Megumi means blessing so when he said Geto was blessed that's why it made him think of megumi, you can hear him say "megumareta" in the japanese audio which is the form if you wanted to say someone was blessed while megumi is the word for a blessing.
10:20 - for context, Megumi means "Blessing". Him talking about blessings just know jogged his memory from a few episodes ago when he asked "who's megumi" while talking to his handler. Just some stuff that doesn't translate super well into this localization
"Revealing you hand" being a thing also sets the "tricky" characters apart as the decision to NOT talk about how your power works says at least as much as actually talking about them. It means that a character like Nobara who never reveals her hand is betting on your lack of understanding to lead you into mistakes that are more advantageous than the extra raw power she would get. Case in point, the death painting brothers thought that she was turning their own technique back on them rather than using that technique as the link to channel her own technique through, and leaving both brothers completely unguarded against her final hits to seal their fate, as both Hairpin and using the lost arm were completely unexpected application of her technique.
When he says "the honored one", he's referring to achieving something similar to Nirvana. By him achieving the reversed curse technique, he's now opened a door that allows him to further his development of cursed energy. In short, this mfer is HIGH AF on life energy AND cursed energy.
The end scene is the start of Geto falling into depths despair (that’s why they show the darkness growing below him when he says no there has to be a reason for them to kill those people)
Satoru Gojo's declaration of being "The Honoured One" can be seen as a comparison to Buddha. While the context is vastly different, both figures are seen as supreme beings within their respective realms. Buddha: A spiritual leader and enlightened being who is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He is often referred to as "The Enlightened One" or "The Buddha." Gojo: A powerful jujutsu sorcerer who is considered one of the strongest in the world. He uses his abilities to protect humanity from cursed spirits. By comparing himself to Buddha, Gojo is not only asserting his dominance but also implying that he is a kind of spiritual leader or enlightened being within the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. This comparison can be seen as a way to elevate his status and intimidate his opponents.
SPOILERS (kinda not really but just in case) Their response to the question about how Megumi would react if he knew about Toji is so funny considering the recent chapter
You probably already know but, the guys clapping in the end are from the star religious Group. They are clapping because they are happy that Amanaï is dead, knowing that Tengen will keep being "pure".
Gojo always think that geto is person with best morality. When gojo saw people clapping for a dead kid he almost lost, Geto was last thread connect to sanity for gojo. If geto said yes then he would have kill all and we would have seen complete different gojo and jjk
21:19 I think people are really downplaying the sheer amount of difference it would have made if suguru said yes. Cause if he did then the entire Jujustu world have to change their own ideals. The very nature of Jujustu was held in a choike hold by the mere strength and position of Satoru Gojo so if suguru actually had said yes the entire worlkd would have changed to how suguru wanted it later in life. The only dfference would have been that tehre would barley be a need for violence because Gojo had mastered his honest and true power. TLDR: If Geto said yes he would havew been able to easily get rid of everyingle monkey in existence without having to say a singular word.
Geto is gojo's best friend and the only other special grade sorcerer. And if you remember he didn't care about people before this. He wasnt a bad person just didnt really care. He met riko started to forge a bond with her. And was intending to save her. Then he failed her in his opinion. And the reason why she was dead where the people clapping. But as he said earlier he was in shock and couldn't decide on what eight or wrong. So he asked geto who he respects as more honorble then himself. So he literally is asking geto should we kill them. Geto says no. But his journey is not going from non caring to caring. He was already caring and his world was destroyed by these people clapping abut riko's murder. But he says no because thats what he belieed before this whole event happened. Maybe if anyone noticed his depression and tried to help him through this time he wouldn't have started to hate normol people
1. Insanity is a fundamental part of being strong in jjk due to being fueled by negative emotions. 2. Gojo has become so far above the rest of humanity that killing those ants would likely not make him feel much.
So the the woman with the scary face is based on Japanese folklore. And she is a apparition not a curse like Mahito or Jogo. Unlike them she is a ghost of a real person. And it seems Apparitions are always strong af. This one, Rika, and on other Geto summons against Yuta and a certain someone you will meet later on. Although two of them are created out of imagination.
Toji is the ultimate human being, a literal super-human. His family, the Zen'in Clan, was so backwards that couldn't accept such a human just because he has zero cursed energy. Toji take this mission mainly because he wanted to prove his clan and everybody how wrong they were not accepting him. He can really kill Gojo, the pinnacle of jujutsu society, if only he cut his head of instead of stabbing it. Not to mention he doesn't know the existence of the cursed technic Purple which caught him by surprise and bring his end.
Gojo was using Geto as his moral compass in the last scene, if Geto had agreed to kill those people Gojo in the present would have been a way different person, Geto tried to protect Gojo by saying they shouldn't do it but in the end he wasn't able to protect himself
That is a phrase from Buddah, raising his right hand toward heaven and his left hand pointing at earth, “Honored am I alone throughout heaven and earth.” It means that each individual being is a unique existence in this world and therefore he is noble and respectable, in Gojo's case, some people say he is asserting his dominance as the most powerful one, achieving Nirvana in a way.
Idk why but sometimes I feel like the JJK manga is better at explaining things than the show. One thing I do love about the show, however, is the use of music-specifically jazz. I once heard someone say jazz is kind of like a battle between different instruments(I’m paraphrasing here), so it’s fun to see it be used in the fight scenes. Good catch on that Kenny.
A kind little personal thoughts, I have been watching you guys for like half a year now and have noticed that you guys speculate or try to guess a lot of things, some of them might come out to be true later on and even I do it sometimes, but sometimes you go little overboard and guess the most remotest possibility or there are lots and lots of thoughts or guessing going on in your mind and its better sometimes to not think much and just let it be and watch it without thinking the 'how' or 'why' or etc. For example, at 21:54, 'their hands are not touching while clapping'. just dont think, just watch, shows are supposed to explain everything. and in that scene, Gojo and Geto feel they failed the mission, they both nearly died, the maid died, Riko died, they both failed to protect anyone, and everyone around them were clapping for them just cause he took down the second time. So in Gojo and Geto's mind, they are failures here, but people around them think they did a good job. thats why he said, should we kill them.
Something that's worth noting about Geto's logic at the end there is a lot of people think he still seems very principled and opposed to killing but really at this point what he says there shows that he's actually looking for a reason and that is literally the only thing stopping him from going on a massacre, he's just waiting for a good enough reason and as soon as he's found one he's already prepared to do it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the first discussion question is misleading. Gojo didn't withhold information from Megumi. Gojo was about to tell him that he killed his father and Megumi said something to the effect of, "I don't care where he is." This might be a dub vs sub issue though.
Satoru had a "close to death" experience and it made him like connect with it in a deeper way. The quote he said is from a Buddha. There's a parallel where you can see Gojo on the dark side and Geto on the light side, I think if they do what Gojo thought maybe he could be a villain instead of a hero.
I like the post credit after we learn that red was a positive energy it's like gojo step from the blue(negative energy) to the red(positive energy) while geto step from the red to the blue
Im gonna get in early on this since i know the patreon is ahead of youtube, but please make sure you guys watch the bluray version, at least for episodes 15-17. It's not just because it looks nicer, there are actually whole scenes that didn't make it into the original airing do to time constraints. Hopefully someone has already warned you, i just hate to see people diminish their experience with this masterpiece of a show by watching the sloppy, unfinished version.
Ok but like the people hand clapping and gojo said he want to kill em has pretty obvious context. They missed it. The group (star religion whatever), Riko's corpse, the location, and how it presented with Geto entering the room and showed us. It's hella obvious. At the very least they should notice that those people seems happy. Happy with their reached goal, which is killing a person. It doesn't matter that Riko is a minor, they happy they killed someone. That point is obvious.
@@LettsReact that was obvious thing you to both miss it entirely just imagine confused couple worried about evil cultists safety rule number one always read room
Gojo wanted to kills them because they were clapping for tge kid death and as we saw gojo and geto had bounded with her so that’s why gojo wanted to kill them.
So what Gojo says is "Between heaven and earth i alone am the honoured one" which is a buddhist proverb said to have been spoken by buddha itself but in its own context its sybolic for humility meaning anyone is able to be enlighted and honoured through their connection with the world and nature arround oneself. Gojo however uses it in pure hubris, deliberately comparing himself to a buddha in a moment of pseudo enlightment to express how he feels in the moment. Its not a misquote, the author deliberately made Gojo use it wrong.
One of the coldest lines of all anime. It really pisses me off tho there has to be multiple translations for copyright reasons, some lines could be so much better
What I like about this flashback, it's that it explain Gojo's attitude by showing how he is at the opposite of a "classic" hero. Manga's MC are generally a somewhat dumb character in general but are good at reading people's feeling (Yuji is also like that). Gojo is the total opposite, he is cocky, don't value peoples feelings and life that much and don't really care about consequences, but it's not just for the fun part of the character, he is the chosen one, the character that always have been far over anybody, he have a good capacity of reflexion and that's why he is unable to understand other peoples feelings, he don't have anything that can be compared to others life experiences. He is so far away from the real world that he can't understand what foes or allies are thinking and don't even care about it
I have been watching your reaction for 2 years & I am sure If you enjoying JJK then I am sure you will like to watch "Fire Force" its underrated shoben anime
I just wanna ask this one thing is that when you guys see the new opening intro for season two of jujutsu Kaisen can you please show us you reacting to it? I would like to see your guys reaction to the new opening.
the sentence about the honored one is a reference to the saying of Buddha, which is when the individual realizes (through "direct insight") itself to be the whole (which is enlightenment), and thus regains "god consciousness", which is also called emptiness. this realization is not a mere perspective shift, its mystical in nature. its not a belief. its perceiving beyond senses and mind (which in eastern mysticism belongs to the senses, you got 6 senses in the east, not 5). the mechanism is called "direct insight". the hierarchy is: sense organs < abstract thinking < intuition < direct insight. in christian terms, one could say its inspiration by the holy spirit, it is when the son becomes one with the father and the father one with the son and when there is no difference. that is when you know that you are in God and God in you and that all is in God and that there is nothing but God, all else being an illusion. this merging usually happens when death is involved. the sufis have the saying that one must die before death, to never taste death, as thats when you merge with God. whoever gives up their life willingly for God, shall have life eternal. this giving up is no offing oneself. its mystical in nature, its when you achieve absolute stillness - no thoughts, no movement, no desire, no nothing. that is practically impossible. but that state is the essence of God, it is "emptiness" as the buddhists call it, the christians would say "ineffable". there are no words or concepts which can capture it as its beyond that. the hindus also call it the "purnam" - the fullness. a scientist would probably call it - the quantum soup of all potentials, but no concretes... chaos. void. so this dude is basically achieving the goal of life randomly during a battle, due to coming close to death.
baptism in O.G. christianity was actually drowning people and bringing them close to death. it was not sprinkling people with water as it is today. other frameworks used drugs to induce near death experiences, like the mystery schools. reaching as far back as to the times of ancient egypt (using tombs as sense deprivation tanks, with drug usage).
This is kinda random but I love the theory/explanation why Toji called himself a 'monkey', in the Gojo vs Toji fight scene, Gojo had his enlightenment and became a god, Buddha to be precise. (In Sutra, Buddha aka Siddhartha really said this "Throughout earth and heaven, I alone is the honoured one" right after his mother gave birth to him) And in the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong - the Monkey King was defeat by Buddha. Sun Wukong is the strongest monkey, he won against many gods, but got defeated and imprisoned by the honoured one, Buddha. So basically Gojo vs Toji is Buddha vs Sun Wukong.
This is the scene their ideals flip: Gojo is in a weird detouched enlightened state and he himself is aware that he isn't feeling much, so upon thinking wether he should kill all those people clapping for Riko's death he grounds himself in Geto's morality. He knows he could do it without feeling a thing so he uses Geto as a moral compass and adopts his words as the basis for his own morality from that point forward. What Gojo doesn't realize is that Geto himself is struggling to make sense of his own morality before the scene in front of him. He says there should be a point to killing non sorcerers, but the scene is so awful that he is not that sure it would be wrong to kill all those clapping people even tho there would be no point. He is answering to Gojo on autopilot, but truly he is having a full on morality crisis and his system of values is beginning to falter.
There is too much of a deeper meaning behind episodes of 1-5, that just flew over yalls heads including the lyrics of the Intro and Outro of the show, I mean its okay, but try to understand on the storyline more. For example, the deep meaning of the RED and BLUE room towards the end. Gojo on the Red, and Geto on the Blue. Thus from there is the down fall of Geto. Another UA-camr Reactor Flexiejayanime, REALLY broke down and saw the deep meaning between the relationship of the two strongest sorcerers. Its a really sad back story AFTER you watch the JJK movie. She can help explain more about it.
9:55 that’s a great point about effort and potential. I agree, I also think Geto’s a typical bigot and refuses to believe any non-sorcerer could beat him despite the evidence right in front of him to the contrary(he got folded). As a sorcerer he believes his potential is infinitely higher than a non-sorcerer like Toji even if he’s using cursed tools and has a binding vow. Even if this was his, “villain origin” that made him snap, the sentiment of sorcerer superiority has been within Geto for a long time.
The two of you are too focused on Gojo and Geto, and not considering the people around them are celebrating the death of a young girl for the sake of their cause. How would you feel at that moment? Would that not make you change your mind about your point of view?
The cult was applauding the corpse of Riko and Gojo wanted to kill them but Geto stopped him saying how there was not meaning in it.t It was okay the way you watch the movie because it could give you a different perspective. The first time, he may come off as straight off evil, but after... you have to wait and see.
One huge thing that doesnt translate well to English is megumi means blessing in japanese and is also a girls name so when toji says i dont remember guys names well thats kinda a call back for him giving his kid a girls name in hopes to remember him also geto gets tojis curse while gojo gets his blessing in megumi grest writing oh and also toji only remembers megumi when talking to geto about blessings

I think you focused too much on the "killing people" bit and overlooked who Gojo wanted to kill, they were clapping for the death of kid, a kid they became quite fond off.
Yes, exactly. I dont know why they didnt understand how messed up that was. Of course Gojo wanted to kill them.
And it shows how Gojo and Getos positions are reversed here.
@@pandaeyez Because it was kinda confusing. I didn't immediately understand that they were clapping for the death either. The claps were just weird.
I get so mad that no reactors understand that. It sets up the whole dynamic and is so easy to understand
@@Panda-kn6zo It's unclear on purpose to feel off-putting. They could've made it clearer, but it would be less cool. Just feel proud you watch enough media that you got it instantly instead of getting mad, if it was easy to understand it would have been understood by more reactors you watched, and we can trust the anime enough to say it was told this way on purpose so people would feel it was off. If anything, you'd need to be mad at the anime if you wanted more people to get it over what's shown.
@@johndinner4418 except the post credit scene makes it very clear by saying it multiple times. ”These are just ordinary followers, the leaders are probanly long gone”. The context itself, them clapping like braincontrolled ppl in all white pyjamas etc. It’s absolutely not a matter of being clear or not understanding the context. LISTEN instead of speaking over stuff to crack a joke or something
This is such a symbolic episode. The way Gojo gets Toji's blessing(meaning megumi, which translates to blessing in english), and Geto getting his curse.
wow never thought of this
the last time gege cooked 😔
I'm glad someone else realised.
@@ataluscasMahito clears ur fav 😭💀
that "blessing" will cost him a lot😅
Little fun fact: The curse that asked if she was pretty is based off a Japanese legend. The slit mouthed woman. Basically if you say no she kills you, and if you say she is, she runs the blade across your own mouth to make you look like her.
A third answer that can save you is asking her "Do **you** think I'm pretty?"
@@vlcharlie4884Not required when you are toji yourself
@@vlcharlie4884nah, thats wrong
Yeah i think it's Kuchisake Onna and once u encounter her u are done for cause she doen't take a third answer or some. Only way to survive is to tell her u are pretty and get ur mouth slit from one cheek to another :/
@@Shivam-dr4pr So then i'm DC's Joker.
The people clapping at the end were the Star Religious group if I’m not mistaken. So they were more or less clapping for the dead Riko. So seeing how gross that is Gojo just is like “should we just kill them?”
Correct, They mention that it is the group multiple times in the end credit
except the post credit scene makes it very clear by saying it multiple times. ”These are just ordinary followers, the leaders are probanly long gone”. The context itself, them clapping like braincontrolled ppl in all white pyjamas etc. It’s absolutely not a matter of being clear or not understanding the context. LISTEN instead of speaking
@flameze5019 I watched this completely alone while being silent and listening, and It was still confusing to me the first time.
The clues where all there
1.where did they find her body.
/In the building where the star religion group was
2.who where those people clapping.
/Considering where they are star religion group followers
if you look at hidden inventory arc opening there's a scene showing hands clapping with the music while showing gojo and geto walking opposite directions
That “Throughout Heaven and Earth I alone am the honored one” Line is what Buddha said when he awakened/ascended to godhood
Godhood, or enlightenment?
Buddha did not ascend to godhood but attained enlightenment.
In Buddhism, enlightenment is a state of spiritual awakening or liberation/alleviation from suffering.
It's not about becoming a god but rather about understanding the nature of reality and achieving a state of inner peace.
Buddha is often referred to as "The Enlightened One" or "The Buddha" due to his attainment of this state.
His teachings, known as the Dharma, focus on the path to enlightenment through the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.
@@SheddedSnake999 you have an inflexible, to the letter "understanding". thats why you are wrong.
this is because your definition of "God" is also to the letter.
achieving enlightenment, entering non-dual awareness, is becoming aware that there are no dualities, thus achieving the realization of Oneness of all, is Godhood.
"I alone am the Honored One" is from the POV of non-dual perception, thus God declares that he alone is God, the world honored one. Because there is nothing other than God.
every individual has the capacity to realize that there is no individualism. its an illusion, there is just one Whole which appears as the many. that Whole, that One - is the World Honored One - the Buddha.
the Buddha is thus not a person.
In other frameworks, they call that thing "God".
Not a "god" or many "gods", but the ultimate God, that which begets the all else, the little "gods". You must not conflate "God" with "god", there is a fine distinction. gods are persons, God is not a person.
because everything else other than God is a simluation or imagination within it, into which it injects itself, making up all the "living beings" in its imaginations, you and me.
emptiness is the buddhist definition of God.
empty of concepts or words to capture it, encompassing everything - all come out of it, all go back into it - others call it "Ineffable". in meditation, random thoughts appear out of it and go back to it!
some call it "Fullness".
and there are those who refer to it as the "Void".
*when the individual becomes aware that it is the whole,* this is called "enlightenment", salvation, liberation, moksha, etc. what technical terms you use, which religious framework you use, does not matter.
its like referring to puberty with different terms due to using different languages and trying to state that "our concept of puberty is different than yours". which can not be.
enlightenment is the same across all humans, its a living beings' phenomenon, not a religious phenomenon.
it does not differ.
its technical descriptions differ.
thus one must be flexible enough to piece the puzzles. as Buddha himself said - to take all in and evaluate yourself and leave the bad out. come and see for yourself.
does not only apply to buddhism.
EDIT: the buddhist reasoning for the source of suffering being impermanence and "all" things being impermanent (with a caveat), directly logically implies permanence, because the solution to suffering is offered and there can be no impermanence in the solution, it must be permanent, otherwise it would be no solution, because its impermanence would also lead to suffering yet again.
therefore, permanence is NOT refused in buddhism!
there is only one thing which is permanent and that is God. which is non-dual awareness, a potential within all living beings. unity consciousness.
this is what all the religions teach and this is the source for the golden rule, which all legit religions have. you can do others no wrong, if you know the "other" is you. so do to the others as you would want it to be done to yourself - this is the mode of operation when one is still asleep. once awakened, this mode becomes self evident.
@@tanko.reactions176didint have to destroy him that hard
@@tanko.reactions176What you are describing is a pantheistic god, not the most common form of god nor the only one
@@controlequebrado4455 no, pantheism gives qualia to material reality and states that the sum of all of material existence is "god".
this is not what im stating.
what im stating is that material universe does not exist.
(heck, its not even me stating it, its what these traditions all state: advaita vedanta [absolute reality, turiyam - the 4th], mahayana buddhism, sufism [al-hak], mystical christianity, etc.)
material reality (this universe) is an illuision. a projection, a "dream", a simulation. its the "matrix" - the allegorical cave of Plato, its samsara/maya, its the divine play (lila).
... all within the mind of "God" - the only thing that really is. everything else being illusory.
21:46 this is a good foreshadowing. When gojo asks Geto if he wants to kill all these people, Geto refuses. However if you notice the colors they’re standing in it shows something else. Gojo is in the red part which means he rejects his own idea, while Geto is in the blue part which accepts that idea hence why Geto hates non sorcerers that much (Gojo’s blue attracts objects, while red repels).
Toji made the same mistake alot of ppl in horror movies make. He didn’t double tap
To be fair, he did stab him repeatedly and went for a head shot, but he didn't decapitate him.
Tf you mean he damn near tripple tapped
he should have went for the head
@@jeetdhali4540 He did, he went for the head.
He stabbed him on the neck, opened him up throat to balls, stabbed 3 more times in the thigh and then stabbed his head.
Granted, if he decapitated him he would've died for sure, but if that was the case all things considered, you would be saying he went too far.
23:36 Gojo honestly never cared about non jujutsu people when he was younger, it was Geto who cared
8:57 he does not hate them because they are weak, he hates them because they are the root of all the pain and suffering of him and his friends
You realize by the time you comment this they’re already caught up right
For those wondering, yes, Toji did just die.
Standing up.
And not falling over.
That guy is just built different.
_"Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honoured one"_ is said to have been spoken by Buddha soon after his birth. Gojo was definitely floating high on his own superiority complex when he said that, no cursed technique needed.
Think of the ppl who are clapping. They are clapping for the death of a kid.
“Where did your nose go…?” Vintage Montana remark 😂
she really needs to get used to anime tropes
@@pandaeyez its not that deep lmao
I love Toji going off about people being born better but him beating them anyways. My guy, you were born with the potential to be a supersoldier, its not like you hit the gym and earned that dorrito shape. Youre just as much blessed by birth as any of them.
Yeah, but he was treated like a failure by his family, so how blessed was he?
A heavenly restriction for an ordinary person might seem like a blessing but to the Zenin clan who revere cursed techniques above all and treat those with little to no cursed energy as second class citizens he was brought up to believe in the world of jujutsu he was nothing more than a "monkey". Do you think he took to calling himself that out of nowhere? Toji didn't have it great growing up but he was able to turn his "curse" into a "blessing" by becoming one of the greatest sorcerer bounty hunters.
So basically, we know that Gojo has Limitless, which is essentially the power to stop. He can stop ANYTHING because there is infinite space between him, and whatever that thing is.
He also has Six Eyes though, a technique which gives him EXTREME control over cursed energy, so he can manipulate that Infinite space into two things.
Infinite Repulsion (Red)
Infinite Attraction (Blue)
Now, if you take the Infinite Repulsion of Red and Infinite Attraction of Blue, and smash them together really hard, they push and pull at each other with infinite force and unleash an absurd amount of energy. So much energy, that it creates Imaginary Mass (basically antimatter) and when that Imaginary Mass meets real Mass, they cancel out and both cease to exist. This is Hollow Purple (Hollow because there is no true mass inside of it, its essentially a black hole).
Gojo can literally destroy matter.
Actually uhhh, not exactly.
My explanation is going to be a little long and I don't want to waste my time writing a little essay to just be ignored by everyone.
If you need my answer, you can reply under this comment.
@@deb5996I want to read your essay.
@@SheddedSnake999 ok, so lets begin with the Basics- Gojo's cursed technique is limitless, not the six eyes and neither the six eyes are any espect of his cursed technique.
2. Six eyes-
Six eyes are a physical organ. It lets the user see and use Curse energy very efficiently, it can also detect if anyone has any Curse techniques and it can detect the use of Curse techniques too, plus also it could detect different souls in a body ( if the user really focuses) and obviously it gives the user super vision and a ton of information, all of this at the same time. That's why gojo wears a blind fold.
With six eyes gojo barely loses any Curse energy while using his techniques because six eyes makes his usage of curse energy to produce a strong technique so efficient that barely any curse energy goes to waste. Thus it feels like gojo has an infinite amount of Curse energy but he doesn't. It's just more efficient because of the six eyes.
3. Gojo's limitless-
Gojo's limitless has two applications- infinity and his blue.
A. Infinity is based on actual Mathematical calculation. Basically gojo's infinity creates an infinite space around him by infinitely dividing the distance between the object and himself. So the approaching object slowly slows down and in the end doesn't even reach him.
B. Blue is another application of his limitless. Basically blue is a very large amount of condensed curse energy and curse energy is negative energy but the world around it is made out of positive energy so it all moves towards blue.
C. Red- Gojo's reversal red is basically just if blue was made out of positive curse energy. So gojo combines two negative curse energy (curse energy is always negative) to create positive curse energy. Negative curse energy can't heal humans, only positive curse energy can because although we create curse energy, we are not made out of it but curses are and that's why they can heal themselves through curse energy.
So again getting back to the point, if blue attracts the world towards it because it's negative cursed energy. Then a lot of condensed positive cursed energy pushes the world.
Important -Remember reverse curse energy heals people and when you apply that reverse curesd energy in your technique, it produces the opposite effect of your original cursed technique. Example- gojo's blue becomes red.
And that's called cursed technique reversal.
D. Purple- gojo's hollow purple happens by collapsing blue and red and that creates an imaginary mass, that is hollow purple. Hollow purple isn't anti matter, it isn't a black hole. It's clearly stated by the creator. I also had this misconception.
*A little spoiler, doesn't really reveal anything big for the plot-
We will see a literal black hole as a attack in season 3 but it's not by gojo. 😉
@@deb5996Is infinity not basically the zenos paradox ?
@@deb5996 thanks man.
Gojo wanted to kill those folks clapping cause they are celebrating Amanai's death.😅 PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF HOW the clapping sound is put to focus cause that's a vital point in Geto's change. Didnt want to spoil but I feel like we might as well give a hint. THOSE PEOPLE CLAPPING ARE NON SORCERERS. Hence the flip. The NON SORCERERS are celebrating the death of someone in the jujutsu circle.
And we have arrived at the turning point of Gojo and Geto's characters. With his enlightenment of sorts, Gojo has become the unstoppable force we know him as. But while this was a moment of ascent for Gojo, this planted the seeds of Geto's hatred for non-sorcerers. We see that Geto *does* want to wreak havoc among the group, but convinces himself that he shouldn't, that it's not what a sorcerer should do, but it's obvious that he's convincing himself of that instead of firmly believing it like in the earlier episodes of season 2.
Suguru decended (went down or remain bewildered) and Satoru ascended (went up, as you pointed out, became enlightened).
Fun fact: the chain that toji attaches the inverted spear to is also a curse tool that works by increasing its length to however long it needs to be, so long as the end of the chain is hidden or unseen. So keeping it inside the worm curse is a good place. It's also stated that Toji tamed the worm by training it like a cat, I believe. But can someone clarify something for me? When Geto tried to take the worm away from him, he failed. Can someone confirm if Toji negated it with the inverted spear or if the worm couldn't go to geto because it bonded with Toji?
It's because it bonded with Toji, yeah. Geto can't take curses that are bound to someone else. Only after Toji died was he able to absorb it.
he says the final stipulation for his technique in JJK0.
Yep as the first reply said, the curse bonded with Toji and so Geto couldn't absorb it. It's also the reason why in JJK 0 we see Geto saying he had to kill Yuta to obtain Rika as they were bonded.
This event is how geto learned that he can’t claim spirits that are bonded to other people until their bonded people are dead, no matter how weak they are. The spirit only came to him after Tojo died. This is also why he immediately went to trying to kill yuta to get rika a few years later
Just a curiosity, when Toji says "blessing" meaning Geto is "blessed" he is starting to remember that him gave for his soon the name "Megumi" because Megumi = Blessing. The kind of thing dubs can't help, but i think Subtitles could help too.
Tbf alot of sub reactors needed this spelled out too. It's just something that comes with watching a story told in a different language.
10:23 For clarification, Megumi means "Grace" in Japanese so it is just as weird to name a boy that in Japanese as it would be in English.
I thought it meant “Blessing”. I guess it would translate to Grace in English
this episode truly was our jujutsu kaisen.
YOU ARE MY SPE-
The ending we are about to get
Dude, I'm dead. This comment should be no.1
you jujutsued my kaisen
Kenny: What caused the flip?
Erm, I dunnooo.... gee, perhaps AMANAI’s death and the whole situation????
Gojo and Geto here are shocked and disgusted at how these people are applauding the death of a young girl and their realisation of how messed up everything is.
Whats not to understand?
“Through all the Heavens and the Earth, I alone am the honored one” is what the Buddha said when he was born, so Gojo is obviously being related to the Buddha/achieving enlightenment
Amani's death marked a before and after
It was interesting to see that this episode had a similar scene from the end of the first episode of the series with Gojo and Geto in a dark hallway, Gojo holding a lifeless body and one of them under a red light like when Megumi and Yuji saved his club friends in a dark hallway under a red light and one of them holding an unconscious girl.
Gojo: I got more holes in me than 50 Cent. But I’m rich, AND YOU GON DIE TRYIN ME!
Purple hollow tip
You goated for knowing this bro
So Gojo's line of "Throughout Heaven and Earth I alone am the honored one" is a reference to the Buddha who said a similar line when ascended beyond his human form and achieved enlightenment Gojo said it because like that Buddha he "transcended" in a way however the big difference though is that it's just pure arrogance when Gojo says it.
this is one instance where dubs can be lacking, though it can be hard to notice unless you're somewhat familiar with japanese to listen for it, but Megumi means blessing so when he said Geto was blessed that's why it made him think of megumi, you can hear him say "megumareta" in the japanese audio which is the form if you wanted to say someone was blessed while megumi is the word for a blessing.
I’d still miss it either way
10:20 - for context, Megumi means "Blessing". Him talking about blessings just know jogged his memory from a few episodes ago when he asked "who's megumi" while talking to his handler. Just some stuff that doesn't translate super well into this localization
"Revealing you hand" being a thing also sets the "tricky" characters apart as the decision to NOT talk about how your power works says at least as much as actually talking about them. It means that a character like Nobara who never reveals her hand is betting on your lack of understanding to lead you into mistakes that are more advantageous than the extra raw power she would get. Case in point, the death painting brothers thought that she was turning their own technique back on them rather than using that technique as the link to channel her own technique through, and leaving both brothers completely unguarded against her final hits to seal their fate, as both Hairpin and using the lost arm were completely unexpected application of her technique.
cursed spirit in the post-credit scene actually called Geto "mother" lol
Fushiguro is Megumi's mother's maiden name. Toji's last name is Zen'in. Toji didn't want Megumi's name to have Zen'in in it at all.
When he says "the honored one", he's referring to achieving something similar to Nirvana. By him achieving the reversed curse technique, he's now opened a door that allows him to further his development of cursed energy. In short, this mfer is HIGH AF on life energy AND cursed energy.
I love the fact that you guys react to the dub version of the anime
The end scene is the start of Geto falling into depths despair (that’s why they show the darkness growing below him when he says no there has to be a reason for them to kill those people)
Satoru Gojo's declaration of being "The Honoured One" can be seen as a comparison to Buddha.
While the context is vastly different, both figures are seen as supreme beings within their respective realms.
Buddha: A spiritual leader and enlightened being who is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He is often referred to as "The Enlightened One" or "The Buddha."
Gojo: A powerful jujutsu sorcerer who is considered one of the strongest in the world. He uses his abilities to protect humanity from cursed spirits.
By comparing himself to Buddha, Gojo is not only asserting his dominance but also implying that he is a kind of spiritual leader or enlightened being within the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
This comparison can be seen as a way to elevate his status and intimidate his opponents.
seeing the recent events of the manga and then the discussion of this episode is so interesting
SPOILERS (kinda not really but just in case)
Their response to the question about how Megumi would react if he knew about Toji is so funny considering the recent chapter
You probably already know but, the guys clapping in the end are from the star religious Group. They are clapping because they are happy that Amanaï is dead, knowing that Tengen will keep being "pure".
Gojo didn’t go insane, he was just pissed that all these nobodies were clapping for Amanais death
Gojo always think that geto is person with best morality. When gojo saw people clapping for a dead kid he almost lost, Geto was last thread connect to sanity for gojo.
If geto said yes then he would have kill all and we would have seen complete different gojo and jjk
21:19
I think people are really downplaying the sheer amount of difference it would have made if suguru said yes. Cause if he did then the entire Jujustu world have to change their own ideals. The very nature of Jujustu was held in a choike hold by the mere strength and position of Satoru Gojo so if suguru actually had said yes the entire worlkd would have changed to how suguru wanted it later in life. The only dfference would have been that tehre would barley be a need for violence because Gojo had mastered his honest and true power.
TLDR: If Geto said yes he would havew been able to easily get rid of everyingle monkey in existence without having to say a singular word.
Geto is gojo's best friend and the only other special grade sorcerer. And if you remember he didn't care about people before this. He wasnt a bad person just didnt really care. He met riko started to forge a bond with her. And was intending to save her. Then he failed her in his opinion. And the reason why she was dead where the people clapping. But as he said earlier he was in shock and couldn't decide on what eight or wrong. So he asked geto who he respects as more honorble then himself. So he literally is asking geto should we kill them. Geto says no. But his journey is not going from non caring to caring. He was already caring and his world was destroyed by these people clapping abut riko's murder. But he says no because thats what he belieed before this whole event happened. Maybe if anyone noticed his depression and tried to help him through this time he wouldn't have started to hate normol people
Just wanted to say yuki’s the first special grade sorcerer of the modern era, so there’s 3 during this time
@farsous10 yes but as far as im aware gojo nor geto had ever met her up to this point
1. Insanity is a fundamental part of being strong in jjk due to being fueled by negative emotions. 2. Gojo has become so far above the rest of humanity that killing those ants would likely not make him feel much.
So the the woman with the scary face is based on Japanese folklore. And she is a apparition not a curse like Mahito or Jogo. Unlike them she is a ghost of a real person. And it seems Apparitions are always strong af.
This one, Rika, and on other Geto summons against Yuta and a certain someone you will meet later on. Although two of them are created out of imagination.
Toji is the ultimate human being, a literal super-human. His family, the Zen'in Clan, was so backwards that couldn't accept such a human just because he has zero cursed energy. Toji take this mission mainly because he wanted to prove his clan and everybody how wrong they were not accepting him. He can really kill Gojo, the pinnacle of jujutsu society, if only he cut his head of instead of stabbing it. Not to mention he doesn't know the existence of the cursed technic Purple which caught him by surprise and bring his end.
He would’ve lost anyway even if he knew about purple. He knew he faced someone that unlocked another level
Gojo was using Geto as his moral compass in the last scene, if Geto had agreed to kill those people Gojo in the present would have been a way different person, Geto tried to protect Gojo by saying they shouldn't do it but in the end he wasn't able to protect himself
toji name megumi from the word blessing
might think they didn’t heard it
The anime Hunter x Hunter introduced the concept of conditions in its magic system before Jujutsu Kaisen did.
Kinda, not the same way as the explaining the power makes it stronger way. But there is definitely inspiration there.
That is a phrase from Buddah, raising his right hand toward heaven and his left hand pointing at earth, “Honored am I alone throughout heaven and earth.” It means that each individual being is a unique existence in this world and therefore he is noble and respectable, in Gojo's case, some people say he is asserting his dominance as the most powerful one, achieving Nirvana in a way.
Idk why but sometimes I feel like the JJK manga is better at explaining things than the show.
One thing I do love about the show, however, is the use of music-specifically jazz. I once heard someone say jazz is kind of like a battle between different instruments(I’m paraphrasing here), so it’s fun to see it be used in the fight scenes. Good catch on that Kenny.
In the case of the dub a lot of their "translations" cut out the explanations from the original.
they cultist clapping kid death how the hell not understand that simple thing like that
A kind little personal thoughts, I have been watching you guys for like half a year now and have noticed that you guys speculate or try to guess a lot of things, some of them might come out to be true later on and even I do it sometimes, but sometimes you go little overboard and guess the most remotest possibility or there are lots and lots of thoughts or guessing going on in your mind and its better sometimes to not think much and just let it be and watch it without thinking the 'how' or 'why' or etc.
For example, at 21:54, 'their hands are not touching while clapping'. just dont think, just watch, shows are supposed to explain everything.
and in that scene, Gojo and Geto feel they failed the mission, they both nearly died, the maid died, Riko died, they both failed to protect anyone, and everyone around them were clapping for them just cause he took down the second time. So in Gojo and Geto's mind, they are failures here, but people around them think they did a good job. thats why he said, should we kill them.
25:05 “furious with gojo” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Something that's worth noting about Geto's logic at the end there is a lot of people think he still seems very principled and opposed to killing but really at this point what he says there shows that he's actually looking for a reason and that is literally the only thing stopping him from going on a massacre, he's just waiting for a good enough reason and as soon as he's found one he's already prepared to do it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the first discussion question is misleading. Gojo didn't withhold information from Megumi. Gojo was about to tell him that he killed his father and Megumi said something to the effect of, "I don't care where he is." This might be a dub vs sub issue though.
I think you should watch Inuyashiki, if you haven’t already. It’s really good
Satoru had a "close to death" experience and it made him like connect with it in a deeper way. The quote he said is from a Buddha.
There's a parallel where you can see Gojo on the dark side and Geto on the light side, I think if they do what Gojo thought maybe he could be a villain instead of a hero.
CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS
Someone made a clip of this fight in 3D and you should check it out. Like the quality puts marvel and dc to shame.
I like the post credit after we learn that red was a positive energy it's like gojo step from the blue(negative energy) to the red(positive energy) while geto step from the red to the blue
You guys should watch Assassination Classroom after Jujitsu Kaisen.
I just might do that
YES! I can't believe I didn't think about it until now
mid
Im gonna get in early on this since i know the patreon is ahead of youtube, but please make sure you guys watch the bluray version, at least for episodes 15-17. It's not just because it looks nicer, there are actually whole scenes that didn't make it into the original airing do to time constraints. Hopefully someone has already warned you, i just hate to see people diminish their experience with this masterpiece of a show by watching the sloppy, unfinished version.
Ok but like the people hand clapping and gojo said he want to kill em has pretty obvious context. They missed it.
The group (star religion whatever), Riko's corpse, the location, and how it presented with Geto entering the room and showed us. It's hella obvious.
At the very least they should notice that those people seems happy. Happy with their reached goal, which is killing a person. It doesn't matter that Riko is a minor, they happy they killed someone. That point is obvious.
@@nether_prince3021 nah it’s lowkey a little cryptic but after watching we figured that out!
@@LettsReact that was obvious thing you to both miss it entirely just imagine confused couple worried about evil cultists safety rule number one always read room
This is where the ball really started rolling in season 2. Next arc is crazy
Gojo wanted to kills them because they were clapping for tge kid death and as we saw gojo and geto had bounded with her so that’s why gojo wanted to kill them.
So what Gojo says is "Between heaven and earth i alone am the honoured one" which is a buddhist proverb said to have been spoken by buddha itself but in its own context its sybolic for humility meaning anyone is able to be enlighted and honoured through their connection with the world and nature arround oneself. Gojo however uses it in pure hubris, deliberately comparing himself to a buddha in a moment of pseudo enlightment to express how he feels in the moment. Its not a misquote, the author deliberately made Gojo use it wrong.
K&M are going to be simping themselves breathless with this one folks!
Apparently not
To my disappointment sadly.
Ohh this should be a fun time.
Toji is just that dude
One of the coldest lines of all anime. It really pisses me off tho there has to be multiple translations for copyright reasons, some lines could be so much better
Toji said monkey once. And that scared geto for life😭
ah yes. bsvk when binding vows and expositions meant something and the power system was actually smart
What I like about this flashback, it's that it explain Gojo's attitude by showing how he is at the opposite of a "classic" hero. Manga's MC are generally a somewhat dumb character in general but are good at reading people's feeling (Yuji is also like that). Gojo is the total opposite, he is cocky, don't value peoples feelings and life that much and don't really care about consequences, but it's not just for the fun part of the character, he is the chosen one, the character that always have been far over anybody, he have a good capacity of reflexion and that's why he is unable to understand other peoples feelings, he don't have anything that can be compared to others life experiences. He is so far away from the real world that he can't understand what foes or allies are thinking and don't even care about it
Rip to the goat toji😭😭
I have been watching your reaction for 2 years & I am sure If you enjoying JJK then I am sure you will like to watch "Fire Force" its underrated shoben anime
(At 19:49) How OPD do you have to be to die while STILL standing?
I just wanna ask this one thing is that when you guys see the new opening intro for season two of jujutsu Kaisen can you please show us you reacting to it? I would like to see your guys reaction to the new opening.
the sentence about the honored one is a reference to the saying of Buddha, which is when the individual realizes (through "direct insight") itself to be the whole (which is enlightenment), and thus regains "god consciousness", which is also called emptiness.
this realization is not a mere perspective shift, its mystical in nature. its not a belief. its perceiving beyond senses and mind (which in eastern mysticism belongs to the senses, you got 6 senses in the east, not 5).
the mechanism is called "direct insight". the hierarchy is: sense organs < abstract thinking < intuition < direct insight.
in christian terms, one could say its inspiration by the holy spirit, it is when the son becomes one with the father and the father one with the son and when there is no difference. that is when you know that you are in God and God in you and that all is in God and that there is nothing but God, all else being an illusion.
this merging usually happens when death is involved. the sufis have the saying that one must die before death, to never taste death, as thats when you merge with God. whoever gives up their life willingly for God, shall have life eternal.
this giving up is no offing oneself. its mystical in nature, its when you achieve absolute stillness - no thoughts, no movement, no desire, no nothing. that is practically impossible. but that state is the essence of God, it is "emptiness" as the buddhists call it, the christians would say "ineffable". there are no words or concepts which can capture it as its beyond that.
the hindus also call it the "purnam" - the fullness.
a scientist would probably call it - the quantum soup of all potentials, but no concretes... chaos. void.
so this dude is basically achieving the goal of life randomly during a battle, due to coming close to death.
baptism in O.G. christianity was actually drowning people and bringing them close to death.
it was not sprinkling people with water as it is today.
other frameworks used drugs to induce near death experiences, like the mystery schools. reaching as far back as to the times of ancient egypt (using tombs as sense deprivation tanks, with drug usage).
When Toji breaks out the chain weapon, am I the only one who can hear the grapnel booat sound effect from the Arkham games?
never noticed gojo has same va as light
"I wonder how Megumi would react if he found out Gojo killed his dad?"
Me, who read Chapter 268: 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Who the hell dies standing, Toji is really him 😂
Hmmm....Episode 17 is going to be a treat. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Watch the blue-ray version of the episode. No spoilers. It's just....better.
This is kinda random but I love the theory/explanation why Toji called himself a 'monkey', in the Gojo vs Toji fight scene, Gojo had his enlightenment and became a god, Buddha to be precise. (In Sutra, Buddha aka Siddhartha really said this "Throughout earth and heaven, I alone is the honoured one" right after his mother gave birth to him) And in the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong - the Monkey King was defeat by Buddha. Sun Wukong is the strongest monkey, he won against many gods, but got defeated and imprisoned by the honoured one, Buddha. So basically Gojo vs Toji is Buddha vs Sun Wukong.
Pov: me bouta hollow purple my freind since his brainrot has reached 200%
This is the scene their ideals flip: Gojo is in a weird detouched enlightened state and he himself is aware that he isn't feeling much, so upon thinking wether he should kill all those people clapping for Riko's death he grounds himself in Geto's morality. He knows he could do it without feeling a thing so he uses Geto as a moral compass and adopts his words as the basis for his own morality from that point forward. What Gojo doesn't realize is that Geto himself is struggling to make sense of his own morality before the scene in front of him. He says there should be a point to killing non sorcerers, but the scene is so awful that he is not that sure it would be wrong to kill all those clapping people even tho there would be no point. He is answering to Gojo on autopilot, but truly he is having a full on morality crisis and his system of values is beginning to falter.
There is too much of a deeper meaning behind episodes of 1-5, that just flew over yalls heads including the lyrics of the Intro and Outro of the show, I mean its okay, but try to understand on the storyline more. For example, the deep meaning of the RED and BLUE room towards the end. Gojo on the Red, and Geto on the Blue. Thus from there is the down fall of Geto.
Another UA-camr Reactor Flexiejayanime, REALLY broke down and saw the deep meaning between the relationship of the two strongest sorcerers. Its a really sad back story AFTER you watch the JJK movie. She can help explain more about it.
9:55 that’s a great point about effort and potential. I agree, I also think Geto’s a typical bigot and refuses to believe any non-sorcerer could beat him despite the evidence right in front of him to the contrary(he got folded). As a sorcerer he believes his potential is infinitely higher than a non-sorcerer like Toji even if he’s using cursed tools and has a binding vow. Even if this was his, “villain origin” that made him snap, the sentiment of sorcerer superiority has been within Geto for a long time.
Toji’s the only exception tho, he’s objectively a superhuman so him being called a non sorcerer kind of misinforms his power set
The Honored One line is from Buddha, Gojo basically became Enlightened
My boy Suguru didn't deserve all of that
The two of you are too focused on Gojo and Geto, and not considering the people around them are celebrating the death of a young girl for the sake of their cause. How would you feel at that moment? Would that not make you change your mind about your point of view?
Someone is so pissed seeing Gojo live 😂
So disappointed throughout the 2nd round fight
The cult was applauding the corpse of Riko and Gojo wanted to kill them but Geto stopped him saying how there was not meaning in it.t It was okay the way you watch the movie because it could give you a different perspective. The first time, he may come off as straight off evil, but after... you have to wait and see.
Geto uses the expression ''monkey'' or ''primate'' because of Toji
"A room full of people" yeah, a room full of people that were clapping at the death of a young girl
One huge thing that doesnt translate well to English is megumi means blessing in japanese and is also a girls name so when toji says i dont remember guys names well thats kinda a call back for him giving his kid a girls name in hopes to remember him also geto gets tojis curse while gojo gets his blessing in megumi grest writing oh and also toji only remembers megumi when talking to geto about blessings
Honerd one is Lord Bhudha's lines
I know it will never happen but a Record of Ragnarok reaction would be cool
