The ironic fate of Geto Suguru: an explorative character study
/
๐Ÿงต: A thoroughly extensive thread (PART 2) Image
As time passed,the figurative gap between Geto and Gojo that represented strength grew wider,which in turn wedged a literal physical barrier between the two. This has propelled Gojo to become the singular 'strongest', unintentionally leaving Geto behind as a result. With nothing+ ImageImage
But his own haunting thoughts to keep him company on most days, Suguru was forced to acknowledge the imbalance of the world he and his fellow sorcerers worked to the bone to protect. It was even more glaringly apparent for him, considering the nature of his technique. If we were+ Image
To take into consideration how a sorcerer's perception of the world is shaped by their technique, then it is no wonder Geto was being pulled from both polarised ends due to his internal dilemma. his CT forces him to absorb the physical manifestation of the most horrid, and vile+ Image
attributes of humanity, all the while desperately trying to see the good in the aforementioned. Yet the truth of the matter is that he will always suffer, whether directly or indirectly,through being a sorcerer. For the longest time,he was willing to tolerate the awfully pungent+ ImageI find it interesting how p...ImageImage
Taste of curses for the sake of helping those in need. But to what end exactly?! Everyone who is an active member of the system is well aware of the ceaseless cycle of death and rebirth of curses. Yet the ones who hold all the power were never hesitant to send these emotionally+ Image
Vulnerable teenagers to the front lines to face incomparable horror and cruelty. The dysfunctional structure of the system came to the surface when after assigning a pair of 16 year olds (no matter the strength) a crucial mission, it was apparently perfectly reasonable to double+ Yuki's anger and frustratio...Image
Their work load without taking into consideration the psychological ramifications of incessant taxing labor. To put it simply, these young teens' lives seem to be meaningless in the grand scheme of things.Suguru came to this horrifying realisation after learning about Tengen's+
Newly stabilised state. This proved to him that all Riko's life amounted to is the splatter of her blood that will act as an everlasting reminder of just how little value her life (and by extension her death) held to everyone, bar him and those very few who were closest to her. ImageImageThis further emphasises how...
By that point, work related death wasn't necessarily a foreign concept to Geto. However, the gravity of the matter settled in when greeted with the mutilated corpse of Haibara. What was even more jarring was gaining the awareness that the lives of his peers are replaceable. Nanami happens to be anothe...
The moment someone dies, another, more capable sorcerer is sent in their stead to finish the job. This gave him more clarity on just how dehumanised shamans are, particularly Gojo and himself since they are expected to just 'fill in' whenever the time calls. Being referred to as+ ImageImage
Pawns doesn't even cut it in this case.While operating under the orders of the higher ups,they have no choice but to persevere and keep the system intact.All that has been mentioned thus far has contributed to the creation of his warped ideology. Which is why It's irritating+
To come across the pushed narrative stating that yuki is somehow responsible for Geto's defection.While Yuki's shared knowledge has provided a basis for his misguided beliefs,it goes without saying that HE had chosen his own path.His defection has been triggered by a culmination+ ImageImageImageImage
Of both internal and external factors. We cannot credit a single instance for his actions when they were a result of a chain reaction of events. The final nail in the coffin being his encounter with the abused twins. Perhaps he saw himself in them,for he could've easily ended up+ By the time of this interac...ImageImage
In the same position if It weren't for his enrollment into jujutsu high. Shamans ARE considered freaks of nature in the eyes of the mundane individual. So it was no surprise to see the horrid treatment of mere children for what they have no grasp or understanding of. In that+
Moment, Geto's consideration for his own kind managed to stifle and bury what remained of his wavering faith in non sorcerers,and there was no back pedalling from that point onwards. To cement his decision, and further prove his dedication to his cause to none other than+ ImageImage
Himself, he felt justified in granting his parents the same gruesome death as the other non sorcerers who's lives he snuffed all in the name of his deluded vision for the world. And despite his acknowledgement that it is most likely impossible for him to truly accomplish his+ ImageImageImage
Overly ambitious (twisted) goals, he still continued down his chosen path. Repeating an endless mantra of discrimination against the majority of humankind,which had ultimately altered his perception of himself and the world. The fact that there came a point where his ambitions+ ImageImageImage
Took priority over the life of fellow sorcerers whom he deemed equal is what inadvertently brought about his own demise. A semblance of credence could have been seen in his ideology,for it is undeniably true that sorcerers are 'chained' by the overwhelming masses. Yet the truth+ As painful as it is to ackn...ImageImage
Of the matter remains to be that his extremist approach has been entirely erroneous. In a way, the moment of Geto's birth had predetermined his wretched fate. It could be argued that a not so pleasant life had always been in store for him due to the essence of his technique.
The tragic irony of Geto's life lies in his dichotomous mindset, which was molded by unfortunate circumstances. Leading to a chosen path that violently contradicts with what he preached during the days of naive youth. Yet it doesn't end there, fate happens to be an unforgiving+ Image
Mistress, one that played a cruel joke on him by offering the motionless husk of his body to Kenjaku,a man too eager to bring forth an age of curses to further plague the world for his own amusement,when Geto strove to discard of such filth. How ironic is it that Suguru's corpse+ ImageImageImageImage
Is now puppeteered by the same man who took charge of the higher ups, the ones who have sustained a dysfunctional system that pushed Geto to a breaking point. It would seem that in both life and death, Suguru has always been bound to a fate of ruin and exploitation on both ends. ImageImage
I have never imagined that this thread would end up being this long T-T it goes to show just how much care I hold in my heart for Geto's character.If even just one pereon manages to get to the end of this,I cant properly express just how delighted I am for grabbing your attention

The ironic fate of Geto Suguru: an explorative character study
๐Ÿงต: A thoroughly extensive (MASSIVE) thread(PART 1)

This has been crafted with love in celebration of the approach of jjk season 2 as I cannot contain my excitement.
I'd like to thank you in advance for your time ^-^ Image
For an unbearably long time now,I have intended to delve deeper into Geto's character and unravel all of its constituent layers. As Suguru's grim journey of mental descent exposes a vital and central theme in jjk,that being the deep rooted corruption and the dysfunctional nature+ Image
Of the very system which sorcerers have no choice but to operate under.Not to mention,his downward spiral into instability which inevitably led to his early demise remains to be one of,if not the most dreadful instance of circumstantial decay of moral clarity. To me,it has been+ Image

I was in the middle of having an existential crisis and thinking about Gojo when I was struck with a horrifying thought. Unlimited void overloads the brain with an infinite loop of all the existing knowledge of the universe, well that would also include what we DO NOT KNOW!!! Image
Just to put in perspective how utterly absurd that is just think about the fact that all we have seen and learnt about space and the creation of the universe so far is nothing but a projected image of the distant past which means that we know virtually nothing about the current+
State of the universe due to how long it takes for the emitted/reflected light of all that's observable to reach us since the distance between earth and everything that exists out there in space is far too great. It is unfathomable just how immeasurably enormous the universe is+

Theory time(BEWARE OF SPOILERS IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP TO JJK220) I have been eagerly waiting for the fully translated chapter to release so that I could properly formulate my thoughts on the particular topic of Tengen and her connection to the very beginning of jujutsu sorcery. Image
I find it interesting that her barriers apparently suppress the outbreak of curses in japan (side note: I don't entirely believe this statement from kenjaku btw. Check +alt text for more details on the matter) when the general+ I think that kenjaku is eit...
Consensus was that the barrier enveloping japan optimizes/enhances CE in the land. You would assume that it would result in an overabundance of curse manifestations rather than the opposite since they are directly fueled by the CE that japanese citizens produce and leak out+ Image

I have quite a lot to say regarding Gojo since I can only keep my mouth shut about him for so long especially when there has been a grossly misconstrued image of him circulating around as of late.

๐Ÿงต A long overdue character analysis thread Image
It becomes more apparent to me with each passing day that the jjk fandom has an indisputable talent for stripping these well crafted characters of majority of their defining characteristics. Whether it is for the purpose of pushing a personal agenda or due to a simple lack+
Of basic consideration it remains to be seen. Nevertheless, the end result has always been consistent. The fabrication of an entirely different version of the character at hand. One that blatantly denies or goes against what has been presented in the story. In this case+

With the occasion of jjk season 2 being right around the corner, I saw it fit to take a more insightful look into toji in this character analysis thread in hopes of clearing up some misconceptions surrounding him
๐Ÿงต: A long thread because I have no self restraint
It is no surprise to anyone that the fandom's overall perception of toji's character is quite superficial. More often than not, I see him being reduced to a 2 dimensional being with no depth whatsoever, which doesn't sit right with me. Hence, the birth of this thread.
I have noticed a reoccurring pattern in Gege's character writing. He offers these tidbits of information that are consequential to the foundation of his characters. And by taking into account the fast pacing and energy surrounding jjk, it is expected that most readers would skim+
