He's Never Beating The Misogyny Allegations After Yorozu

100% agree with this analysis of Shoko. Don't get too many in depth pieces on her. If jjk focused more on how jujutsu society interacts with the larger Japanese government I think we would've. Shoko's healing abilities would definitely be a major part in jujutsu society and government interactions

new jjk chapter is so interesting to me. bc i realized that a lot of the people commenting on shoko right now have a very different opinion of her character and her relationship with gojo than me....

Good luck in your games! I don't tend to have much luck with the pulls haha, so I'm sending you all good vibes to get some nice event items ^^.

When you have time, I was wondering if you had hints for translation on Gojo's incantation! I loved it a lot, but don't know if it means anything in particular.

As far as I can tell the words are sort of showing the things that surround a space? Kyū tsuna (the translators i've seen either say nine points or ropes) makes me think of the ropes tied at temples, and temples can be both boundary and gateway but I don't have much context for this one...

Henkō I've seen as "polarized light" which seems to reference the blue+red requirements of purple maybe? But also is this image of a wave pulling in two directions, the word making it both divided and still referring to both possible "directions" at once, so it's a concept like his technique rather than a decision of direction.

The crow and shomyo could refer to the voice/message from heaven and the chant to heaven, which is another "conceptual" gap. Also Gojo is sort of answering a prayer while performing a chant, so he is both the messenger and supplicant maybe?

I don't really get "表裏の間" at all. I've seen it translated as "head and tail" "gap between within and without" and "chasm of front and back", google just says "front and back" but the last character translates to something like "interval". It evokes the concept of the end and the beginning being both as far apart from one another as possible, but also as close to on another as possible which seems close to the concept of purple but it feels like reading into it too much...

Either way, I hope that you rest well this weekend anyways!

Lol, thank you, raindrop anon. I actually pulled FGO's newest servant, who coincidentally shares the same seiyuu as Nobara QuQd. Now I only need to somehow get Enojun into fgo lol

This is the original panel of Gojou's chanting, btw

九綱 (kukou) means "nine ropes". Nine is sort of sacred number here, might be taken from nine virtues of Shakyamuni (whom Gojou have a lot of reference to). And the ropes, just like you said, act as a boundary like in temple to mark sacred place. It could also refer to the state of intertwining as he does to Red and Blue to create Purple 偏光 (henkou), means "light polarization". I agree with your idea here, that it's most likely referring to Red and Blue and the joining of two techniques. 烏と声明 (karasu to shoumyou). means "crow and shoumyou". In opposite to their reputation in the west, crow in Japanese lore is actually thought as the harbinger of good omen. So messenger is right. The 声明 though, it'll read generally as seimei and does mean message. But here, it's read as shoumyou, which actually refer to a style of chanting in Buddhism. It is a style of chanting Buddhist scripture with music. So not ordinary message, but rather special one?? 表裏の間 (hyouri no hazama), translated literally would be "between the front and back". This could be taken literally but also could refer to one's face shown in public and private. So it might means the space between reality and imaginary, as his technique realizes "infinity" from imaginary concept

Hope this helps! Also, sending much luck to you too!

HAHAHAHA

gojo purposefully teaches and interacts with each of his students based on their personalities and how he thinks they would best learn and absorb information.

with yuuji it was movies and anime/pop culture analogies to understand and control his cursed energy. plus of course hands on training and combat for all of them.

with yuuta he was both logical and empathetic, cs yuta is both. he leverages yuta's sense of responsibility to help him both break his curse with Rika, and learn how to control it.

and i always see people reference gojo saying 'yikes you're kinda gloomy' in response to yuta saying he tried to kill himself as gojo being rude and insenstive. while gojo can often be rude, in this case i do believe he's trying to make light of the situation.

it's more awkward IMO! when someone pities/babies you in this situation.. making a joke/being normal is a better response, and i think that's what he was doing, trying to make yuta feel better.

with megumi i believe he was the most straighforward. megumi does not care for small talk or sugarcoating things amd beating around the bush. no matter the situation. and gojo knows this cs they've known each for 10+ yrs now. he knows how to talk to megumi and get through to him in a way that'll hit home.

their relationship seems cut and dry cs megumi is stoic and not affectionate and gojo respects that, most of the time 😄 gojo cared enough to put yuji in the room next to megumi cs he knows megumi is reclusive, so that he can make friends.

i agree gojo and megumi's relationship is more of an annoying older brother than father-son, and i love it when they bicker. anyway, i wish we could've seen more gojogumi interactions in the years they knew each. but gege man..

low quality/silly panels of kirara my beloved

LULUL

I rationalize Uro being naked as her doing the same exact thing Sukuna did after waiting a thousand yrs for incarnation. Tore off her clothes in excitement and used her CT to cover herself after she realized how dumb that was.

"jjk female cast is the best, stop hating!"

i don't like nobara she's rude loud & annoying, I hate the way she treats yuuji *vine boom sfx* yuki's most pronounced character trait is asking what someone's type is *boom* miwa has blue hair but no pronouns *boom* shoko is constantly being overshadowed by gojo & geto *boom* utahime's personality is hating gojo, what's her relevance to the story? *boom* tsumiki is a human-shaped plot device *boom* mai is depicted as a weak sorcerer plus she's a hater for the sake of hating, she reminds me of misogynistic women *boom* riko is a plot device in human form also *boom* uro is basically ecchi fanservice *boom* momo has been as relevant to the story as a pair of socks *boom* I have no words for remi *boom* hana's whole motivation stems from being a simp for megumi *boom* yorozu's personality literally is being a sukuna simp *boom*

maki is the only female character that has achieved real character development

I like mei mei, she's strong, independent & evil, she keeps serving cunt & boss bitch realness. I am pretending ui ui doesn't exist. *several vine boom sfx in short succesion*
