Gege (jjk’s author) said Gojo was using Geto as his moral compass in that scene, if Geto had said yes to his question *the Gojo we see today would’ve been a completely different person*

Toji just hella gave geto PTSD so he ain't ever gonna forget that monkey line he's gonna go on and on 🤣

RIP to the GOAT Toji Fushigoru who triggered the creation of another GOAT, Gojo!! 🙏 Also, I find it poetic that Toji left Geto a curse (the worm curse) while he left Gojo a blessing (Megumi means blessing) 😔

The post-credit scene is so good at foreshadowing and characterizing both Gojo's and Geto's eventual journey. The scene is even better in the anime.

This episode really shows why Geto had so much animosity towards Maki in the movie she reminded him of Toji💀💀

"Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honoured one"

When they said he was “High” he was essentially high on DMT (the chemical released in your brain when you die). And Gojo was so close to death that his brian was probably flooded with DMT which it seems contributed to his “awakening”.

Throughout Season 1 up to this point, we see that Gojo has always been confident, borderline egotistical. His "awakening" cemented that. So the last segment shows Geto acting as Gojo's moral compass. If Geto gave Gojo the "okay" to kill them, Gojo would've done it. His literally being the strongest shows how when you're given absolute power it can corrupt someone, given the situation. The symbolism shows Gojo walking away due to the moral compass of Geto, showing that Gojo has a darker side to him. Yet, Geto faces those people clapping to the death of Amanai. Even though Geto stopped Satoru, he himself is lost there in the moment. When you look at the ground you begin to see the growing darkness within. Geto's ideologies have followed adult Gojo through Season 1 and he uses it to control his darker nature.

3:49 geto was unable to absorb toji’s curse because there is a master-servant relationship between toji and the worm. geto explains in the volume 0 movie (applying it to yuuta and rika) that he first has to kill the master before he can absorb the curse. edit/addition: this is confirmed by gege in a volume extra.

the fact toji has the same VA as zeke jaeger and he’s talking about “monkeys” makes me laugh

Geto just saw a whole room of people clapping and cheering for the death of a little girl. That would fuck you up... and it did. It fucked Gojo to the point that he wanted to kill them all. Geto was once again the voice of reason but it was automatic this time. You can see the cracks in his resolve start to show here. These are the people he has chosen to protect and die for. In the next episode it will be shown more why Geto is the way he is after this arc but I think this episode did good to show the first crack when he said "There has to be a point"

You know the writing and characterization is fkn immaculate when viewers are sad to see the newly introduced villain die against one of the favourite, most established protagonists in the show.

Toji: “You we’re all beaten by a monkey like me who can’t even use cursed techniques” Geto: *”And it was all down-hill from there”*

I'm glad you noticed Carter. I haven't seen another reaction channel that mentions the curse spirit Toji has is the same one that Geto had in the movie

gojo got toji's blessing (megumi) and geto got toji's curse (the worm)

If you slam your blade through someone's skull and they don't die from that, they can just take the win. Toji was clean. He put the hands on two of the strongest sorcerers out there and completed his mission. But, Gojo evolved on the brink of death and ascended to being the honored one. Even then, he still kept fighting. Toji remembered his son and died on his feet, leaving everything to Gojo. Goated antagonist. That after credits scene. All those people clapping at seeing Riko's dead body. Crazy how Gojo was just like, "Should we just kill everyone here?" And Geto is opposed to that because there would be no meaning to all that death. Their perspectives are truly and utterly flipped right now.

just as some quick fun facts: you guys mentioned how gojo seemed "enlightened" during his fight w toji. well, gojo's first name "satoru" (悟) is actually the japanese word used for enlightment or some kind of spiritual awakening! also, you might have noticed how when gojo says "throughout heaven and earth, i alone am the honored one", it is portrayed in quotes in the subtitles. this is because this phrase in buddhist legend is believed to have been said by Buddha himself right after he was born, and while pointing with his right hand up at heaven and left hand down at earth. so, basically exactly what gojo did after his enlightment!

As a manga reader, my heart was beating so fast waiting for Toji/Gojo. The episode did not disappoint lol

12:40 Idk if this is a spoiler, but in a volume extra Akutami revealed that Cursed Spirits are just like pets and that you can train them. So essentially Toji trained the worm to obey him, hence there's a master-servant between Toji and the worm

Megumi's name means "blessed" in Japanese. This is a wish for my son to be blessed because I didn't have magical powers and was not blessed with magic, and I was treated badly by the Zenin clan. Also, a girl's name is easy for him to remember because he's not good at remembering boy names.

"Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honoured one" This is a quote that is sometimes attributed to the Buddha. Jujutsu Kaisen is ripe with references and allegories to Buddhism. A while before this fight, Toji refers to himself as a "Monkey" with no cursed energy. This situation is not only showing Gojo reaching enlightenment but is also a cheeky reference to Sun Wokung challenging the Buddha in Journey to West.

Geto calling nonsorcerers "monkeys" is a buddha vs sun wukong aka monkey king reference. Toji called himself a monkey (sun wukong) and fought Gojo (buddha). In the actual lore, sun wukong the monkey king challenged buddha and got put in his place just as Gojo defeated Toji. Buddha pointed one finger to the sky and one down on earth and said "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the Honored One".

JJK is really a well-written story. You will get the explanation you need as the story goes on.

From “ *We* are the strongest” to "Throughout heaven and earth, I *alone* am the honored one" There are many reasons why Geto chose to leave the school, but few mention the gap in power between him and Gojo after the Star Vessel mission, and the subtle jealousy and loneliness Geto felt about it. This emotion is more apparent in their conversation on the street in the movie. Geto said *"If I could be you... wouldn't my impossible ideal become possible?"*

At the end in the post credit scene, when geto was saying that there needs to be point to the killing, I imagine that geto was just tryna convince himself not to act, sorta like self reasoning, but he he was tryna hold himself back. You can see his pupil twitching as he says it, he coulda snapped right there. He's barely hanging on to his principles

During his childhood, Toji was bullied by his family for not having magical powers. The scar on his mouth is from that time.

I think that shadows gathering under Geto, in the last scene, when he is surrounded by the crowd, symbolize what is happening within him. He is trying to be the good guy, but he is slowly stepping to the other side.

Gojo was the miracle child of the Gojo clan, and Toji was the black sheep of the Zen'in clan. Sad that Toji couldn't have stayed in the story

Maki isn’t the only one with heavenly restriction! Mechamaru also has it just the reverse version. For being born with an extremely weak body he gets an extreme amount of cursed energy.

You guys have become my favorite reaction channel! Didn't think y'all would get this into JJK and I'm glad to see the hype build... Shibuya incoming!

I loooove this episode, specially the after credit scene. You can clearly see when Geto's beliefs start crumbling, even trying to convince himself that there needs to be a reason to kill, when he is surrounded by people clapping and celebrating the death of a little girl. Like I bet he start thinking all the work that he does protecting non-sorcerers is for people like these, it surely is a complex feeling.

with maki the heavenly pact was made because she and mai are twins, and that's a curse on its own, that's why mai has cursed energy and maki has little to no cursed energy. And yes while gojo was already so powerful, he was still leraning his techniques and combinations, hence why he failed to do the red technique a few episodes ago, he still couldn't understed the concept of reverse cursed technique. BUT as he was dying he had an enlightment about the core concept of cursed energy, understood its nature and now you could say he reached """god-like""" powers, as the final round against toji is made for us to understand it, as he was the chosen one, the honored one in heaven and earth. ALSO yes geto saw his transformation, as he became even more powerful, and you have to remember he was not dead when toji said "you all were defeated by a *monkey* with no cursed energy like him". And toji, at that moment when he listened to that, the person who killed riko and gojo, imagine the feelings he had for this person. AND when he sees gojou transformed, on his high on another dimension, so much more powerful than him, imagine how his feelings are getting mixes, his moral dilemma might start from this conflict, of him being aware of how powerless he became by not only toji with no cursed energy, but also by gojo and his new status as a sorcere. that's why he almost can't recognize his best friend on the final scenes. and yeah, as carter said, its the beginning of his downfall from that scene. I really liked how they portrayed that with the colors (gojo getting out of the room in red and geto in the room in blue) as well as geto in the room and the floor beneath his feet getting darker and darker (also his eyes trembling) ANYWAYS I thought the episode was really clear and also the next one will bring more clarification for the soon to begin dilemmas and ideological conflicts in jujutsu really like your reactions, thank you once again for the videos !!!

Geto was shook in this episode, realizing he isn’t the strongest. But Gojo is. His reasoning is tested and the next couple episodes will show us what pushes him over the edge.

Toji was a complete menace even till his death like bro literally came in wrecked both of the strongest jujutsu sorcerers, accomplished his mission in under 3 episodes and got killed by a high gojo

I'm just enamoured by how relatable Getou feels throughout his character arc, even though we barely know him, barely hear him, barely see his thoughts. It's like this "simple" existential crisis, but also so much more. My dude a teenager, not even a grownup, probably still fucked in the head from hormones doing weird stuff to you. He's a prodigy with a lot of weight and expectations thrown upon him. He's a thinker - has to be, since despite being this young it seems like he can just immediately talk about his views and ideals. That's the type of guy IRL, that reads all the time, tries out dozen different religions, visits dozens of countries, meets thousands of people just to feel there's a point to all of it. I believe that - and can imagine the level of - he's completely disgusted, hearing those zealots clapping and cheering for him. For Riko's death, for what happened. It's sad and inspiring at the same time - that's what a nicely written story makes me feel.

The moment everything went silent and the piano music started to play while Gojo was floating, looking up at the golden clouds, everything in slow motion to him, feeling the pleasantness of this world- it was so beautiful and picturesque I almost shed a tear🥹 Mappa has outdone themselves with this one 10/10

What would you think happened if Geto said "Yes" to Gojo's propose? We never would've seen the present Gojo. He really was the moral compass of Gojo just as Akutami sensei said

OMG I SWEAR TO GOD INVERTED SPEAR OF HEAVEN is being so overlooked by reactors. He shattered the simple domain with the spear cause it deactivates any technique made out of curse energy, like Gojo's infinity. Hell it even tanked RED.

Guys I know I had an insane take 😭😭😭😭

Funny that Toji calls himself a monkey and his VA is the same as Zeke... the "Monkey" Titan lol Also, about Toji's curse: It's only explained in the jjk fanbook (or Manga extra info iirc) so... Geto couldn't absorb it because it had already made a solid master-servant relationship with Toji!

yeah heavenly restriction can make you have no cursed energy and make you physically strong, but you can have the reverse some people forget that mechamaru has the opposite. He has a weak body, but he has a lot of cursed energy so he controlls this mechanical doll the guy that fought panda in season 1 for if people forgot.

Reverse cursed technique is the pinnacle of jujutsu sorcery and a very rare technique, that's one of the reason shoko is never sent on dangerous missions because prior to gojo's awakening, she was the only one at jujutsu high who could use it, hence she was seen as a jewel. Very few people master it, so far we've seen only gojo, yuta, sukuna and shoko use it, and only yuta and shoko can use it in healing others aside themselves. You all saw how yuji transcended to another level after tasting black flash, now imagine how gojo must have been feeling in that moment considering RCT is a more supreme form of jujutsu than summoning a black flash.....

Toji dying on his feet is kinda badass

Geto saved Gojo from becoming curse user, the basketball scene shows that Gojo always discuss and learn his morality from Geto.

they didnt explain it in the anime but the reason gojo was so high was because he fried his own brain on going 150% with his six eyes.

Toji Fushiguro ladies and gentlemen, my favourite character of JJK. The Goat himself, the transcendent one.

THE SPONGEBOB PIC TOOK ME OUTTT

It's crazy how Toji altered the Jujutsu World with his mere presence. What Toji been through all his life, I understand why he is the way he is. Gojo was his arch-nemesis, he had everything what Toji didn't.

4:42 not quite, but you are definitely cooking DEFINITELY

Love how geto called non jujutsu sorcerers as "monkeys". Now we know how he got this idea from 😂Toni really brought a huge impact for both Geto and Gojo

Toji is one of the most pivotal characters in the series. He basically dictated what Gojo and Geto is today lol

I love seeing anime onlies growing to love geto, haha. it’s not for no reason that manga readers like him

Gege (the author) said that Touji took the wrong path after his wife's death. And in case there was any doubt, Touji loved his son, but that would be understood later.

I love the comment "I needa watch that like 5 more times" lol love you guys.

Gojo is indeed the strongest ...Toji is a very important character..he is liked and praised even more cuz he is megumi's father(megumi is already one of the most loved characters of the show)...also love how Gojo decided to take care of the guy's son who nearly killed him.

you know a character is badass and among the top of anime when they die standing, my man Toji didnt fall even in death

GOJO IS HIM

RIP Toji Fushiguro, a true beast that won't be forgotten 😭💔

Toji's death brought me to tears watching real time at midnight :) Even though I already knew it was gonna happen. It's just that I'm so soft when it comes to Megumi, that when he remembered his son, I got emotional and was sad, plus the ed song playing

R.I.P to my prediction

12:40 I think there's a symbolic meaning for Geto to get Toji's curse. It builds a parallel between how Geto and Gojo were affected by him in opposite ways. While Toji's actions in this arc and subsequent events contribute to Geto's spiral, it causes Gojo to reach enlightment and become the strongest. Also, after Toji tells him about his son, Gojo gets Megumi under his wing, whose name means "blessings". So basically, while Gojo got Toji's "blessings" (Megumi/strength) Geto got his "curse" (the actual curse/ his downfall)

Great reaction! Might be my first comment on the channel too. Love y’all’s reactions. When Geto was unable to take it, it was the curse that rejected him. The curse was extremely loyal to Papaguro And without spoiling anything, the ending credit: they’re basically agreeing with eachother. In my personal opinion I think considering how different they’re from eachother, they deal with similar emotions differently. One kid is a little more grounded; while the other can see everything in life with the six eyes. And I also wouldn’t consider Gojo “cocky”. He operates on an “untra instinct” kinda level with everything he does. Considering that, he’s humble to me. Could be worse lol he can back up anything and everything he says.

gojo was high on that cursed energy

My face hurt so much for the way I smiled throughout Gojo's scene 😭It exceeded my expectations!! And the post-credit scene was sickening! I wouldn't be surprised if this is the nexus of Geto's turning point, even though he restrained himself. Something more terrible must have happened...

Why is Toji someone's favorite? This arc might be over but Toji's legacy will live forever in the series 😅

12:08 the author gege akutami said gojo was using geto as his moral compass in that scene, if geto had said yes to his question the gojo we see today would’ve been a completely different person

limitless, reversal red, amplification blue, and six eyes are four different things, and no one in the gojo family has ever been born with all four except satoru (i think, i cant remember quite well) six eyes gives him the ability to see the flow of cursed energy in utmost level (it cannot be turned on and off thats why he wears a mask, without it, hell be seeing cursed energy even if its the tiniest bit), it also gives him the ability to control his curse energy very very precisely. limitless slows things down, it is the negative, reversal red speeds things, it is the positive energy, amplification blue uses negative energy to amplify limitless and create voids, its like a black hole that sucks things in. Purple is reversal red and amplification blue combined, in the sub its translated as "imaginary technique", thats because if your constantly rip space infinitely, nothing is left, and nothing cannot be defined, its imaginary mass, i hope this helps.

I love how crazy Gojo is when he comes back, as if he had some incomprehensible divine awakening from mastering RCT

“Through heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one” is a infamous quote attributed to the have been said Buddha when he left his mother’s womb in Japanese Buddhism, and been used in the nations’ cultural history rather pervasively. It’s sort of like reciting an infamous bible quote the moment you come back from the dead like Jesus did if that helps for the context. In this case, Gojo is making an allusion to his “rebirth” as his version of “enlightenment” that Buddha is said to have achieved in Buddhism.

One of the most important themes of this arc and the series as a whole is that it’s a critique of the typical shonen hero organization. The Jujutsu world is an inherently hypocritical society in which to supposedly save the weak, you kill and murder and the real benefactors are usually a bunch of assholes. Yuji wants to ensure people have a proper death, but to do so, he’s forced to give others the most horrifying death imaginable. Gojo and Geto are taxed with keeping the Jujutsu Order intact, even if it means killing an innocent little girl. They were sent on a mission to make sure their world doesn’t crumble apart, and in doing so were exposed to how horrible it truly was. Toji is a metaphor for the freedom from this corrupt sort of right and wrong. He’s an agent of pure carnage who freed himself from Jujutsu (literally away from the zenin clan and physically away from cursed energy), but the small emotions he still felt held him behind and at the end of the day, that’s why he lost.

GOJO THE GOAT. 😊

No words can describe how ABSOLUTELY BALLS THIS EPISODE IS as a non manga reader I KNEW gojo HAD to clap back but DAMN I did NOT expect his comeback to be anywhere near that BEAUTIFUL and I enjoyed every millisecond of it.

GOATJO...he is HIM

What an episode and season so far, been loving jjk atm.

To address the point made at 12:35 Geto says you can’t kill them without there being a point. You could interoperate that as honourable but it’s still an issue because his reasoning isn’t focused on the fact killing is wrong, just that with a lack of a point it’s wrong. This is a dangerous mentality because many people find ways to justify killing and Geto is included in this. So if all he needs is a justification then that contrasts Gojo who was willing to do something so “evil” but he didn’t need a reason

this episode was amazing man, the music and art during the Honoured One scene was beautiful

IDC what anyone says… this was the ultimate daddy vs. daddy battle 🔥😮‍💨😂💀 yooo that was PINNACLE! Gojo straight up was having a Meruem moment 👑 RIP to zaddy Toji 😭 man straight up had me applauding him after he died. Come on now… dying standing up. I know he’s the bad guy buttttt man was a G… one of the baddest. This had me with my jaw on the floor the entire time mah dude 😭😮‍💨 Again, being a non manga reader…. it’s continuing to pay off 🔥 can’t wait for more!!!

4:33😂😂 This had me trippin

Something significant about the honored one line. The EXACT same line was already used before in the manga, but for some reason they cut it out of the anime when it was clearly meant to be compared since it's the EXACT same quote. When Sukuna cut up Mahito back in episode 12, the little monologue Nanami has about noone in this world being more conceited than Sukuna and him living only guided by his pleasure and displeasure. That inner monologue of Nanami was not Nanami in the manga, but a narrator, no actual character. And he also said that "Throughout heaven and earth, he alone is the honored one." when referring to Sukuna. So there is a debate to be had about who is worthier of the title since it says they ALONE are the honored one, so it can only be one. In my opinion, Gojo is just high on power here and believes himself to be a god, but Sukuna was declared the honored one by the actual narrator. So I think Sukuna is the actual god with Gojo being a human high on power thinking himself to be a god, before he will eventually face a rude awakening. That last part is NOT a spoiler no worries, it's my assumption.

Respectfully... Season 1 Gojo sweeps the floor with Toji lmao

Oh man, I was away for business and now coming back to watch the episode and you guy's reaction. Epic is the only way to describe this arc, and this whole show.

This episode freaking delivered. Shoutout to Mappa and their staff and everyone else who worked behind this. They don't get enough credit. Every frame was stunning. That moment when the sun hits and Toji and when the music shifts to a more pleasant, peaceful tune with Gojo swarmed in sunlight made that scene so heavenly. Perfectly capturing how Gojo was feeling in that moment and that he achieved enlightenment. "Throughout heaven and earth, I alone I'm the honored one" imagine saying that when you're just 17 😩

Fun fact: The honored one quote was something that the Buddha said when he came out of his mother's womb! Also if you look more into it this is basically a fight between the Buddha (gojo) vs the monkey king (toji) a story based of a Chinese novel 😃

What’s crazy is that fact that Gojo didn’t even know if his reversal technique was even going to work because at that point he just said fugg it i might be dead either way. Y’all fellas are in for a ride you ain’t seen nothing yet of this amazing story 😭😩 (Shibuya Arc readers we can all cry together 🥹)

As only a anime watcher I would say something I noticed is in season one, the principal kept asking yuji what was his Goals and aspirations and not what other people wants from him. In this season, we keep seeing geto saying “that’s what jujitsu sorcerers do” or “that’s what it means to be a jujutsu sorcerer” we haven’t actually seen his actual ideals only the ideals of others

That credit scene was exceptionally done as well. It was so twisted how they kept clapping because they're elated that a little child is dead. This moment is the beginning of the Gojo and Geto we know. And also all your questions regarding Geto's downfall, Gojo's techniques including Domain expansion, will be gradually answered too.

15:35 it's explained in season 1 that Mechamaru has a heavenly pact. Since he was born with a broken body he was granted alot of cursed energy which allowed him to remotely control another body from long distance

Gojo right now in Anime :🗿 Gojo right now in Manga:🗿

you know its was a banger episode when the reaction itself is almost as long as the episode lol

The minute gojo came back there was no chance Toij was coming out of that alive

Goated episode ppl mad complaining manga readers need a life 10/10🗣️

They fumbled Gojo's pose during his heaven line. How? It looked so cool in the manga. All they had to do was show him a bit more zoomed out.

Yeah Geto is still a good guy here but you can see from the animation he is in immense pain and internal struggle. His belief was that the strong (sorcerers) should protect the weak (common people), but here he sees all these common people cheering for the death of Amane, which planted the seed of hatred in his heart.

4:38 keep that theory Cannon

Been WAITING to see these moments animated and Mappa did NOT disappoint - your reactions to the hole in Toji’s body were amazing 😂 get ready for Shibuya!!!

Its mentioned in gojo's fanbook profile that he can do literally ANYTHING he tries. Sure he's failed sometimes but we've seen it here and we will see it more in the future 😉 man is an absolute beast

Remember when they use to call they, "anime haters" nos is Anime Lover😂

To clarify one thing: Toji did stab Gojo's forehead with the inverted spear of heaven, that is why gojo showed him the healed scar by lifting his hair. The spear forcefully inactivates all cursed techniques [i.e. limitless (infinity)] and not basic cursed energy.

"Throughout heaven and earth, I AM THE ONLY HONORED ONE"
