I keep wondering why so many fans (including myself) were bitter about the jjk ending.
Best I can think of is that it's because of the collectivist nature of the narrative -
defeating Sukuna was a collective struggle.
Jjk narrative seeks to dismantle the extreme individualism/hero-cult.
For us - a society built on the logic of hiarchy, that's a hard pill to swallow.
Gojo "winning" by having played his part in the collective struggle and having no regrets and Sukuna "losing" and thus regretting his choices that were proven wrong, choosing for the first time ever to reincarnate open to love -
... means there are no simple solutions, people can change, love, and work together no matter their personal differences.
There is no solitary evil mogul that we can pin all the evil on, and no solitary hero that we can push our own responsibility for saving the collapsing society on. No, it's our own responsibility to carry on as the new generation.
Also, there is a point of how mundane were the last two chapters before this. As if to remind us that life goes on and that there must come a time when students fly out of the nest and pick up their role as the next responsible ones.
Ah.
...
(( But i still miss Gojo, man. ))
Gege acting towards Gojo like he was his own "unwanted child"
You're telling me that Yuji didn't make sure that Gojo (and Choso... and what about Nanami?) get proper burials?
We didn't get to see it?
Naming a jjk/itafushi thread on reddit "So gay Sasuke would be proud" must be the single most iconic thing that specific dudebro ever did
I guess it's kinda not on brand for me to make this blog about more than one anime (i used to main a naruto blog) but I LOVE ALL MY HYPERFIXATIONS EQUALLY so enjoy the mix of haikyuu + jjk and sorry
You guys are scared that 5 chapters is not going to be enough to end jjk properly, I fear the terror we all know Gege is more than capable to unleash on us in 5 chapters. We are not the same.
Having a fic planned out for MONTHS but not having the time/energy to write it or write the next chapter is like letting it marinate forever so it turns out even better when it gets cooked
Yeah. At least that's what i'm telling myself
