Part of me doesn't blame Geto that much. Life as a jujutsu sorcerer is just that shitty and cruel. You either die horribly like Haibara or quit like Nanami. Nobody appreciates what you're doing in the slightest. Gojo also has his fair share to deal with.

The greatest Homiesexual relationship in all of anime. Practically Achilles and Patroclus

I think their relationship is the most fleshed out in the story. usually, Gege doesn't go way too deep into relationships because the pace and dynamic are so fast - he just lets us fill in the blanks. but with these two, he went deep and it still affects the story. not only their bond was very healthy, their fallout was tragic but even after everything they still remained special in each other's lives. I'd call them soulmates since they never really opened up to anyone after losing each other. the fact that Gojo was delaying killing Geto for 10 years despite being the only one who could execute the order (and then Yuta did most of his job anyway). the way they still referred to each other as Satoru and Suguru, calling each other their only best friend. how they both basically adopted kids at the age of 18/19 and continued to protect their "families of sorcerers". how after Geto said he couldn't smile from the bottom of his heart in a world like that, he heard Gojo's last words to him and had the most sincere smile before dying - these are such touching but heart-breaking details. and even after Geto's death, it's still the biggest "weakness" of Gojo. we've only seen him lose his self-control 2 times so far and both were because of Geto (when he learned what Geto did and when Kenjaku showed up in Geto's body that Gojo couldn't bring himself to destroy. also, Geto's soul remains responding to him). it humanizes Gojo so much. Gege has this whole theme of the loneliness of the strongest, "love is the worst curse of them all", etc. and i think Geto and Gojo's relationship plays a huge role in it. only in Gojo's case, just fighting someone equally strong will never be enough (like maybe Sukuna thinks), it's having someone who clicks with you on every level - something he had, something he lost. I'm curious to see how Gojo's story will end eventually.

They are awesome. I love the moment when Riko makes fun of the bangs and they just pick her up in the next panel. Perfect chemistry shown and a funny moment all in the same page. They are too fun.

Them sharing the same brain cell is painfully accurate 😂

An interesting take is that Gojo actually had pretty similar ideals to Sukuna when he was younger. Only respecting the strong, not bothering with the weak. Without Geto Gojo wouldn’t have gone down the exact path as Sukuna, but he probably wouldn’t be taking the same proactive approach as a mentor and protector that he is now.

I think what's important, beyond the whole romance vs friendship debate, is that you can tell that both really do love and care for eachother (whether it be romantic or platonic). Gojo still considered Geto to be his best friend after he defected, and shared thst moment with Geto at the end of JJK 0 when Geto died.(Spoilers) And when Geto/Kenjaku surprised Gojo in the shibuya arc, only Gojo was able to snap Geto's body out of possesion (which is something Getos adopted kids couldnt even do!?). As you said in the vid, most stories don't really flesh characters relationships out this much! I'm a rising freshman in college, so I'm also fearful of drifting apart from my best friend...(though I doubt we have to worry about one becoming a genocidal maniac)

I just love how shoko up and called gojo immediately when getting showed staying as calm as possible

Shoko need more love, she is amazing even with the low amount of screen time she has

The fact that they grew apart and took what they originally lacked is so interesting because of how differently they interpreted it. Great video.

Hot take but I like the dynamic between them more than yuji and megumi

I'd go as far to say that geto is not only one of the best written villains in jjk but just anime in general. His journey down to darkness is just so real you completely understand why he went insane despite opposing it.

toji really beat geto into depression and turn to genocide 💀

This was a really good video. Gojo and Geto's relationship is very tragic and mappa went a step further with that op and especially ed. It's really well done and you're right when you said there was like... a sense of nostalgia when watching it. I never would've imagined shoko gojo and geto taking pics and going to arcades and what not. I was literally thinking "Dang they were really homies that's crazy"

top 3 bromances in manga/anime

I really have to respect the way you spoke about the shipping aspect. I don't ship them either but I respect that you addressed it as still making sense why people would ship them and not just shut it out completely as "You're dumb for seeing it that way, obviously not canon" so big ups to that in this video (especially because a lot of people's vitreol towards shipping comes when it's a gay ship)

literally one of the best JJK video essays out there. You just see the series in an entirely different light. Great video 🔥

A beautiful friendship that was meant to continue 🙁

I KNOW IT IN MY SOUL, YOU'RE NOT GETO! SO WHO ARE YOU?!

You know what's even crazier, the Toji fight with each of the characters. If you look closely he only cut Gojo once over the chest and cut Geto twice over the chest. The way I saw it was that Toji cursed them. He made Gojo the strongest one and Geto the second strongest. He made him (Geto) into a person who could never be Gojo levels of strong ever again. Hence when they fall out Geto asks his friend, if being the strongest makes you Gojo Saturo, or if being Gojo Saturo makes you the strongest. That line hurts more when you remember that fight and the marks Toji gave to them😢

Top Tier video. Their dynimac was the best part of Hidden Inventory and it's what makes it so painful to reread/rewatch. That nostalgic, familiar feeling with their friendship was something that really stuck out to me. Would love to see you analyze Hell's Paradise duos (Tao Fa and Ju Fa, Gabimaru and Saigiri or Fuchi and Gantetsusai would be awesome). Keep up the great work.

Once i saw geto casually make tea, that sealed it, geto and gojo are one 😂

Short answer: Because Gojo's hot and Geto's insane and hot. There, video over

i cant stop watching these 5 episodes back idrk why, probably bc ive always dreamed of having this type of friendship

After this episode of season 2 just dropped, that closing song is gonna hit different. Watching the show it was awesome seeing the two or three (Shoko be in there too) of them together having fun, now it's gonna be a reminder of what was lost

I ship them and i also dont mind them being friends any works they just bounce off of each other very well 😭

I love them together, they have the best connection and relationship out of the entirety of Jujutsu Kaisen. I hope Geto can come back somehow, his impact and dynamic with Gojo is so amazing to watch.

The opening and ending really emphasize the slice of life feel. It's a cozy , fun bubble, but it pops by the 5th episode. If you are a satosugu shipper, both songs are a lot of fuel, lol. This is a great video. The commentary on the fragility of human relationships got to me, I know what it's like to lose a friend because one moment, unfortunately.

Tbh I think a major big reason why this dynamic works so well and is one of the best in the series is because of the lack of intimacy between any other characters, legit. By intimacy, like you I don't mean romantic, I mean a closeness between two characters that isnt present in any of the other characters. Gojo and Geto understood each other and when they didnt they still stood beside one another to support the other. It wasnt until Geto was left alone completely, wity the accumulation of wrongs that he lost sight of his purpose. There are no other two characters in the series that shows intimacy and thats very unfortunate but thats what makes Gojo and Getos relationship shine. I do wish we got more of it, seriously some characters are going to need some later on in the story. The closest we got to something as close as Geto or Gojo was Maki and Yutas relationship. Really got one out of a slump to make them powerful sorcerers. Megumi and Yuji relationship is alsk different, I think it needs more time more scenes to show that intimacy. Unfortunately it isnt that type of genre or Gege way of doing it

Imma be looking at my best friend after this video like hes gonna be my main opp in the future

Ngl I was positively surprised to see you neutrally acknowledging their dynamic as a ship, most people just ignore debates like that because they don't feel like doing research when the topic behind it doesn't interest them too much, weirdly proud to see you still did nonetheless. I personally have a neutral stance on what their relationship was but the excessive hate that the ship got backed up with arguments like "they were best friends, you don't have to make everything gay" and "Gojo's confirmed to be into women, get over it" always bothered me. The possibility of them having romantic feelings for each other doesn't cancel out any other information. They are still best friends and Gojo's still into girls regardless the nature of their relationship. The main reason they even get shipped is precisely because they were so close to eachother, they undeniably loved each other platonically, and depending on how deep you dig there definitely were at least implications of romantic love hidden in some corners (which is a fact btw so don't come at me for that), but no one forces you to notice and accept them, they're just there and that's that, it doesn't change any part of their relationship. All events would've still went down the way they did, if anything, the existence of romantic feelings would've just worsened the tragedy that was meant to inevitably follow, but it still wouldn't have changed a thing about the outcome. In easier terms what I'm trying to say is that the ship between Gojo and Geto basically acts like a DLC for the base of their relationship. Just because you're not a fan of it doesn't give you the right to bash people who like the DLC, it doesn't change the original the both of you are familiar with, it just adds some content on top. I'm not advocating for the ship, as I said, I'm on neutral ground, so I don't really have an opinion to defend here anyway. I'm just trying to tell people those sorry excuses of homophobia don't pass if you can't even argue for your side without being petty and non-sensical, grow up. Again, great video in general my dude, did an amazing job if dissecting their relationships. Hands down one of my favorite JJK youtubers 🙏

Ahh yes they’re just “friends”

A gon/killua or yuji and fushiguro and even throw nobara trio dynamic video would be cool!

Not exactly a friendship, but there is a good video waiting in the wings about the dynamic between Urahara and Aizen.

I don't think it'll happen, but I'd love to see the pair back together again as adults, I'm sure they'd act goofy and have fun all while trashing whoever they're up against 😎

Great video!!! :D Gojo and Geto are two of my favorite characters in fiction! :)

This reminds me a memory from the book "Can't hurt me" by david goggins, it's basically; 1 of the very close 2 brothers goes through Hell Week and Goggins says that until the other brother goes through Hell Week(same trauma and hardship) as well their relationship wasn't same since 1 couldn't understand the others perspective. Gojo couldn't understand/see the pain Geto was going through for 1 year and when he saw it, it was too late. This makes me cry so hard.

This documentary was so beautiful I've only found your channel recently but exploring the in-depth nuances of Gege's writing immediately had me interested in your content it's not every day that a content creator goes out of there way to make an in-depth guide on how a mangaka writes their stories and what messages they're trying to push or hint at. I would absolutely love to see another deep dive into a character duo I think you could do absolute wonders talking about the complexities of Gon and Killua's relationship in Hunter x Hunter it's probably my favorite relationship in all of Manga and seeing people talk about it in depth is one of my favorite things

i like the new content pump, but don’t overwork yourself, man. fire vid as always tho

im glad you mentioned the shipping aspect of stsg, cuz they’re definitely implied to have had feelings for each other but its left vague enough so that it’s up to you whether you choose to interpret their relationship as either romantic or platonic

i love analysis content and i expacilly (spelled that wrong) love your content cuz of how thorough and indepth he goes on the subject like he knows exactly whats going on

A series of Duo Discussion videos would go crazy because you really broke down how deep the level comradery ran between these 2 and how it shaped how they ended up

theyre so tragic and they compliment each other in every way possible its insane

I loved this! Thanks for sharing. You did a very good job! I agreed with everything you said.

Just wanted to say this video is well written and enjoyed it, keep up the good work!

Ur speech on people growing apart touched the depths of my soul man

I think a video on Ichigo and Uryu’s friendship would be great seeing as Cour 2 of the anime is airing. They start off as enemies and down the line find out their distant relatives of each both being Quincy.

Loved listening to this analysis while doing hw omg ily

You can tell ronin is a giga brain chad when he can see the ship in the narrative even if he doesn’t agree. What a champ

I love there dynamic a lot and it was cool to see gojo shearing thw title of the strongest with somone else it really show how much gojo trust geto ... until toji pull up🙂

This is pretty dope where you did one for Toji and now both Geto/Gojo also the chibi versions the anime and manga do for these characters always gets to me lul

One of my closest friends of 8 years left me and my other freind, we were part of a trio, it was everything. So yeah their relationship makes me nostalgic, or perhaps bittersweet pain is a better word for it.

great video! and thank you so much for being respectful towards shippers and shipping culture. it’s quite rare for someone not only to pass on the opportunity to hate on shipping, but to actually acknowledge it and show understanding of why someone would think in such way.

Oh we most definitely need a Yuji and Megumi duo video 🤣

Need a duo analysis like this on Gon and Killua from HxH!! Great video!

My guy this video is fantastic

Great breakdown

I won't say Geto's downside is only because Gojo wasn't there anymore, it is a consequence of many factors and Geto's mindset as well. I believe Geto is more of a simple thinker who only thinks of the world as strong and weak, right and wrong. So when the ideal moral compass collapsed, it made sense as to why he hates "monkey" so much. He judges people based on what they were born with. I believe from the start Gojo was a lot deeper thinker than Geto, he needs to have a reason as to why he should protect the weak when that's just what Geto believes without a true meaning to why.

If I was a sorcerer, I'd be a tamer version of Sukuna. I train, I eat, I exorcise, I do whatever I want within grey moral reason. I don't care if people don't appreciate me, I care that I finally can perform domain expansion twice a day without dying of exhaustion.

Great analysis indeed, thanks for the hard work man! I don't know if you've seen the series, but a great duo with a similarly intense dynamic are Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun, it'd be great to have your take on their relationship.

toji giving gojo his blessing, megumi, and giving geto his curse, the worm, is something i think about a lot

Tnx for the vidio. Loved it 💞🤍

mans went onna break and has been droppin bacc to bacc gems

To have the world in your hand you must have the ability to create and the ability to conjure life . GOJO CREATES THE ENVIRONMENT AND Geto CONJURES the life there like in they're relationship . Perfect the there abilities.

10/10 video i hath subscribed

I just love these two

Geto's impacts on Gojo's life: - Gojo changed his first-person pronoun because Geto told him to (after he left him, of course. He was very much against it at first). This is a HUGE deal because in Japanese, your preferred first-person pronoun pretty much defines what kind of person you actually are - Gojo decided to become a teacher to prevent what happened to Geto from happening again - It is canon that Gojo used Geto as his moral compass during that Riko corpse scene. If Geto had said "yes", Gojo would have become a mass murderer - Geto's appearance is the reason why Gojo was able to get sealed in the first place. It doesnt matter how you view their relationship (romantically or platonically). You can never deny the fact that Gojo loves Geto very deeply

This man is cooking!

ronin cookin crazy rn, were eatin so good

History will say they were just friends.

from start to finish u broke their characters down psychologically. Not one misstep. I wonder if u were reading a script from ur notes or sum. if so or not, either way, PERFECT analysis.

Gon and Killua walked so Gojo and Geto could run.

Beautiful video

This is why satosugu is the best ship ❤

Honestly they could have made a whole show just with them as main characters how they were before Toji and honestly it would have been really good

They remind me of Charles Xavier and Eric Lensher in X-men. Hurt to see my boy Geto turn😭

Reminds me of my relationship with my best friend... the only one i ever had

Like Shakespeare we all have a fetish for the tragedy in storytelling

When i tell u i wouldn't want this kind of tragedy for my enemy too man 😞

If I saw what the village did to the twins, I'd join Geto, like straight up... Not only because what the normal humans did, but also because Jujutsu Society failed to protect them.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 beautifully done

From we are the strongest to only you are the strongest.

Do you have a video on the psychology of gojo? i wanted one like that

W VID BEFORE WATCHING

Geto and Gojo are like Levi and Erwin

Geto simply wasn't ready.

you should do a vid like this for the csm trio power aki and denji

I honestly thought jjk was about gojo and geto from clips I’ve seen, didn’t even know who yuji was 😭

I feel like every jjk fan needs to watch this video

Thanks god it was not gojo that turn evil i don't see who would stop him

Geto's life is kinda sad I suppose. He doesn't have power to change anything, his best friend kinda leave him in the dust in terms of power. Ploting and plotting only for his plan to crumble because he got beaten up by a depressed and suicidal teenager, got killed by his best friend, his corpse taken over by parasite and her adopted daughters got slice to bits by Sukuna. Sad...

REAL.

idk if u play the game but if possible can u do one on blade and kafka from honkai star rail

This analysis is amazing!! The only thing I'd say is that Geto still wants to protect the weak, it's just that he now views sorcerers as the 'weak' in society as they're minorities that have been viciously taken advantage of

You know you gotta do Naruto and saskue, show them the support

I am a firm believer that Geto had a Domain Expansion.

Is that the Dying Light soundtrack in the background?

You know it’s funny that the only main infraction that they had in the entire anime was only a couple of moments each about a minute and only once or raise I mean I wish gege at least gave a flash back of them meeting in their childhood or at least more moments with them I mean the ending and opening had more memorable moments with them like bicycling with each other and playing in the arcade

Megumi and itadori next please

To be honest Geto's descent towards maddness and his villan era was.... i mean It was really like real? I dont rlly know its just the way Geto put it Its either you die or quit or You become a villan for the sake of your goals Gojo's past arc was written so good The angst was pretty damn sad i feel like the manag makes me cry more tbh Its crazy tho both Gojo and Geto had the same goal but had different ways of doing it and went different paths In Gojo's past arc Haibara died Nanami in the end quited Geto had gone mad Gojo was trying to convince his friend on that one encounter before they went seperate way meanwhile Shoko had to watch it all Utahime i dont know about her tho but its sad that in the end she sees what her friends become of I love jujutsu kaisen and h9nestly due to the recent manga chapters people really were just pissed with what happened but in the end i had a feeling deep down that it would probably happen Gege doesnt really deserve the hate Jujutsu kaisen is a dark story where theres alot of Dark themes its really unpredictable i mean Gege himself is unpredictable i hate that part but its also intresting in finding a author whos not rlly caring about other people opinion and making his story even trolling his fans abit If your a jujutsu kaisen fan still going strong Its either that you dont like Gege akutami or that you like Orr neutral all of these types drift towards the story whether they like it or not if there a fan and/or curious anyways that just my input Lol
