I love that they were expecting EVERYTHING except a fucking gun
THATS MY HUSBAND ๐๐๐๐
Toji's eyes are not green in the anime... Why?????? WHY!???!?
Do you ever think about how poetic the scene of Gojo being sealed in Shibuya is? I'm not just talking in terms of the love of his life being his downfall and the utter tragedy of their story. I'm talking about how poetic it was for Gojo himself, for the "honored one" who was basically considered a mortal god and treated as such, to be defeated in the most human of ways.
Let me explain. Again, this isn't just about the Gojo's love for Geto being his Achilles heel. Something that Jujutsu Kaisen encapsulates time and time again through various characters is the juxtaposition of power in humanity- infinitely capable in some ways and still tragically helpless in others. It's why the idea of "Sorcerers die alone and with many regrets" is such a recurring thing brought. Many of them are considerably powerful and have done almost miraculous things, but in the face of their own death or the loss of their friends or the regrets that pile up in their lives, they are powerless. In a lot of ways, that is what it means to be human, powerful and powerless all at once.
And that is what Gojo demonstrates at Shibuya. He truly proved he was, inarguably, the strongest sorcerer in centuries as he took on three special grade curses and a death painting, fought two of them hand to hand, and killed one of them by crushing it to a wall. He then demonstrated immense control and strategism by holding a domain for 0.2 seconds and then wiping out more than a thousand curses in under five minutes. He single-handedly prevented a complete massacre of humans in the area. It feels like he's proven, shown us, that he is the god everyone thinks of him as.
And then he sees the only man who didn't treat him like a god. The only one who had seen him as human and, in some ways, made him human. The one he thought he'd killed a year ago. He sees him and he freezes. At the site of his greatest demonstration of power, his Achilles heel stands exposed.
And in that minute of shock, guilt, memory, horror, and longing, he falls. So powerful he seemed invincible, yet rendered powerless in that moment. Gojo Satoru, the honored one, the mortal god, the strongest sorcerer, creates the deepest truest representation of humanity in that moment. Not just in our vulnerability to love, but in how we are, within ourselves, both the indestructible and the defeated.
I don't know how many of you have paid attention to the JJK 0 opening song "Greatest Strength" but if you haven't, you're missing out. The song itself is beautiful and it becomes even more emotional if you think of the song from not just Yuta's but Gojo's perspective and interpretation. In my interpretation of this song, the first half that is slower and more intimate is about Gojo and Geto and the second part where the rock elements kick in is Gojo addressing his students (listen to the song that way, you're never going to unhear it).
But what I really wanna focus on is this line from it:
"Your weakness if your greatest strength"
I think this line is incredibly interesting (read: heartbreaking) when interpreted in Gojo's context. Gojo's weakness, proven beyond a shadow of doubt by the series, is Geto. Well, less of a weakness, more of a vulnerability, but for the man expected to bear the weight of the jujutsu world and the title of The Strongest, those two are virtually the same thing.
So how is Geto both his weakness and his greatest strength? Well, if I were a cornier, less character focused person, I'd say "love is the greatest strength" or some shit like that. But anyone with the least bit of familiarity with Gojo's character knows that that's not something he would say. He's not one for sentiment. That being said, what I think is meant by "greatest strength" is the effect that Geto had on Gojo. Geto was Gojo's only friend. His influence brought out a softer, more humane side of Gojo. It was Geto slipping through the cracks that inspired Gojo to take on the herculean task that is changing the jujutsu society from the ground up by becoming a teacher. Making sure what happened to Geto never repeats with another kid and building a world that is kinder and better than the ones Geto and Gojo had to face becomes Gojo's purpose. And in that way, Geto is both his source of vulnerability and the foundation of his ideals.
But let's take this even further. I mentioned earlier that I think the first part of this song is for Geto and the second for his students? Well, this line falls in a place kind of toward the end of that first part. So I believe "greatest strength" refers to more than just Satoru - it refers to his students. Gojo wants his students to be on par with him, to dismantle the hierarchical notion of power and strength in jujutsu society. And he's kind of succeeding. Not only are they extremely powerful, but they also stand united and understand the problems of the system. They are Gojo's trump cards. To sum it up, he forged the trauma he and Geto (his weakness) went through into a will to affect change, and his students became his greatest strength in that pursuit.
Satoru was not one to put much faith behind the unknowable. Maybe there was a God, or some universal power or creator. But did it matter? Humanity is still left to wander through the world fending for themselves, spinning endless cycles of survival and destruction. But he did like to think about multiverses.
It's not that he believed it, okay? It's a scientifically implausible theory. It's just an intriguing hypothesis, that he likes to wonder about sometimes. Because if there were that many worlds out there, then maybe there was one where the only person who ever felt like home didn't leave him.
That Satoru probably had the courage to ask him to stay when he felt him slipping away. That Satoru probably let his heart spill out of his mouth and gave it to him to hold. That Satoru probably knew what it felt like to be held by him. That Satoru probably knew what his lips felt like against his own, what his hair felt like between his fingers, what his love felt like when it wasn't quiet.
That Satoru could never even imagine looking down at the love of his life slumped in an alley, bleeding out, and delivering the final blow. That Satoru wasn't sitting alone on the school steps with every piece of family lost to time.
He hated that Satoru so much. He really did.
(No he didn't.)
