So when "Geto" said that he can't be seen by the people in the high in season 1, he was trying to save the big "surprise" for this moment......The brain parasite is so gross

Gabriel Barott

The only downside to being able to delete spoiler replies on YT, is that I get spoiled myself LOL :')

It’s crazy that this whole plan was banking on the brain inhabiting Geto, as he even says himself he wanted Getos technique and that exact situation where Gojo is caught off guard. If it was anyone else it wouldn’t have worked because we see gojo take a step back about to run away, until he hears Getos voice. Actually if u think about this a little a little deeper, this is all Tojis fault. Had he never killed Riko and Geto never spiraled, brain would not have been able to seal gojo at all without Geto’s body. It’s especially sad that one of Gojo’s few moments of being considerate of others is what got him sealed. Had he taken Getos body to Shoko instead of trying to protect her from seeing that, his body would have been taken care of and brain guy would not get Getos body. Brain guy is possibly the luckiest character in JJK, everything js works out in his favor.

Looking back it was kinda obvious that wasn’t Geto, they had two of the most opposing goals actually when u think about it. Geto wanted to get rid of curses by killing non sorcerers, where as brain is working WITH curses supposedly trying to help them dominate over humans or some bs. It was staring at us in the face.

I think the link is broken. It doesn't show up for me, nor a number of other comments

Carlie & Ange

We'll try and repost the link! We've tested it a few times and it seems to be working fine on our end

I had always found it weird because Geto always hated cursed spirits and wanted them to go extinct, yet when the "parasite" had his body, he was teaming up with the curses and killing sorcerers which was a complete 180 from Geto's ideals.

loved how the author built up this moment, gojo is probably one of the best written characters of the series. the way they started this reminding us how literally every person close to gojo sees him as "the strongest" and barely as something more than that, he's so lonely without geto, who was the only person that tried to share that tittle with him and was a constant reminder that even if he's a sorcerer and the chosen one by the six eyes, he's still a human. in the hidden inventory arc, they showed us how geto was always checking on him, giving lectures about how gojo should treat ppl with more kindness, etc, trying to make him connect with his human side more while also being his friend! no other person has done that for gojo, that's why geto is his "one and only" (quote from gojo in the volume 0 movie). this is why it literally took him years to get courage to kill him, the only weakness that we can find in gojo is his humanity that is represented in his bond with geto, this topic has been shown in the past with yuji too, when todo was helping him to improve we see how the only thing that is stoping him to go higher is his emotions, yuji is one of the only characters that didn't grow up in a environment of sorcerers, he was raised as a normal human, thats why he's the best representation of the struggle that sorcerers carry with them, to execute your power, to be stronger and to use your cursed energy at its best, you need to get rid of your emotions, and its proven in this episode with the fake geto plan. in my opinion, the beauty of jujutsu kaisens writing resides in how much we can learn from tragedy, theres a few comedy reliefs here and there but still, this show is devastating af, a good comparison in contrast is probably mob psycho! excuse my bad grammar, english is not my first language but i hope i expressed myself well, thank you so much for the reaction! ❤️

THIS IS COMPLETELY SPOILER FREE: Since many people, carlie and ange included, don't really know anything about mahjong (the game being played by the curses) I wanted to pass on this paragraph somebody wrote about the symbolism in the game: (There is some mahjong terminology you may not understand, but the general idea is still fairly understandable imo) The mahjong game sprinkled in here was actually interesting! Geto seemed to pull his winning tile, so he won on Tsumo with a closed hand, which is already a fair amount of points. However, the fact he seemingly won on his fourth draw means his hand was probably already in tenpai, or waiting on one tile for a win. It's crazier because his hand contains double yakuhan, the full dragon set and full winds set, plus terminals of all suits. Looking it up, this seems like a Kokushi Musou 13-way wait hand. The points from this are pretty huge, and the possibility of acheiving it, while not the most difficult, is still pretty challenging as the hand has to stay closed. Since he's the dealer (East) then he gets over 45,000 points which is massive. It's also interesting that his hand is considered one of the "three big families of yakuman", since there are three big clans in JJK lmao. Another fun bit was how Jogo, Hanami, and Mahito all drew dragon/fundamental tiles before discarding them. Some think these tiles are based around Chinese philosophy of the heavens, earth, and man. So here, Jogo has the heaven tile, Mahito the man tile, and Hanami the earth tile.

MECHAMARU i was happy to see hes still alive, he was the one talking to yuji at the end

JadonTheEternal

Gojo is truly nutty, he killed more than 3 people per second for 5 minutes straight. Just insane speed. Also, my theory is that Gojo privately buried Geto because they were so close, whereas usually when a sorcerer dies I believe Shoko (or another doctor depending on the location) would potentially autopsy them and then cremate them to prevent them from becoming a curse. Due to Gojo and Geto's relationship I think it makes sense the Gojo wanted to be able to bury Geto out of like, respect or honor or love or whatever you wanna believe.

Is anyone else always incredibly confused by the powers in this show? I always feel like more of the show is dedicated to going into some weirdly granular and technical explanation of what's happening more than anything

Martina

no spoilers, but this is not true, it is implied that he hasn't had the time to mourn his body, so I guess he just left him there, maybe he couldn't face what he has done?

Amrith

The exposition dump only gets worse. Initially they had this brilliant idea of explaining the idea out loud because of a binding vow but now it's we will explain it anyway because we are making stuff up as it happens. I might have missed it but it started to make zero sense when Toji started explaining his techniques when he has nothing but a heavenly restriction. Was it to strengthen his cursed scarf? You can't tell me a person with insane speed is buying time.

★Cygne

I don't think the brain thingy has the same ideals as Geto! Early/Young Geto: Wanted to protect the weak because he was strong Turning point/Adult Geto (jjk 0): He wanted to eliminate all human with no curse energy so only sorcerers were alive (and no curse spirits were born) Brain thingy Geto: He wants a world run only by curse spirits I think thats the main diferences!! In case its kinda confusing.

Anonymous

They explained in the very same episode that it works the same way for a heavenly restriction. Toji gets stronger aswell by revealing his technique.

Night Sterling

@Amrith In toji's case irc it also strengthens his heavenly pact if he starts exposition dumping so he gets stronger and faster by doing so.

Patrick

To me, most powers are easy to understand, save a few people that aren't introduced yet. Which ones did you find confusing in particular?

Steve.

Pretty much all of Gojo’s powers. Also the Simplified Domain used in the Mechamaru fight. It also feels like there are multiple power systems going on at once with Domains, Pacts, whatever else. Now I’m not asking for an explanation, I’m sure if I rewatched I could get it, but that’s my issue. I can’t enjoy the moment because of all the jargon they are throwing at me constantly

Gojos technique is limitless, he can use it in 3 different ways that are basically just stop, push and pull on steroids. Neutral limitless: the infinity around Gojo that makes everything approaching him stop. Strengthened limitless blue: the power to attract and pull things together, can pretty much make mini black holes. Reversed limitless red: the power to repel/push, seen as a little red orb that pushes things away. He can also combine red and blue to make purple, beam of "imaginary mass" that just deletes everything. I get you though. They didnt say much at all about Gojos powers until his fight with Toji, where they kinda explained everything. Many of my friends kinda immerse themselves in the anime and wont always read the subtitles, especially during intense moments/fights. JJK in particular aswell likes being super vague about things, only to randomly drop it somewhere many episodes later. I kinda like that info just gets thrown around a bit and that we figure things out as we go, but definitely easier to miss out on things. For sure a jjk thing, many people are discovering new things on the rewatch.

Not really, so far everything was really simple to understand while also being quite fun and original, I think the power stuff is perfect in this show for me.

Simplified domain is easy to explain. When a sorcerer creates a domain expansion they are essentially creating warped space within real space. This is why they must set up barrier to establish it and why it's always bigger on the inside than the outside. Once inside the barrier the sorcerer controls pretty much everything, they're free to move as they like and their innate technique is etched onto the barrier so that it auto targets anything caught in the barrier. An instant win if you will. Like Mechamaru explained, instant kill domain expansions are a tool of the strong, and the New Shadow Style Simple domain was a technique to protect the weak from them. A simple domain is thus, if a domain expansion instant kills everything within it's territory or space, then what happens if you create a space separate from the space in the domain expansion? Your own space within a space within a space. The domain expansion loses track of you and can't auto target you anymore as you aren't technically in the domain anymore. The trade off is that you have stand still to use the simple domain. It's essentially a weak domain expansion with no technique engraved into it. This is why Gojo's neutral limitless can't stop a domain expansion technique, because his technique manipulates the immediate space or infinity already provided around him and doesn't create space like a DE or Simple Domain does.

As I said, I shouldn't need someone to type out an essay to explain it. The show should do a better job while I'm watching it

I mean.. Who should be the measuring yard stick, then? Some people aren't even remotely familiar with regular everyday Japanese occult concepts like charms, shikigami, curses and domains. Do you want the show to spend hours explaining it to you or just cut their losses and consider you not part of their target audience in order to craft a more compelling experience for those who are? The appeal of JJK combat appears to be more on the problem solving side than simply powering up Dragon Ball style, and that's what I love so much about it. If the complexity and the required reading aren't to your liking, isn't that just a matter of preference?

Steve.

The problem is they already do spend most of the show explaining it, a fight can never go 2 seconds without then pausing it and taking you out of the experience to lay down some mumbo jumbo that everyone pretends makes sense
