Am I disappointed in the recent JJK chapter? Yes, definitely. For starters, Gojo’s reaction to Nanami’s death felt very underwhelming. Like I don’t expect Gojo to breakdown and cry because that would be out of character for him as he is a character that is build upon concealing his emotions through a facade. He buries them deep within him so he can still call himself the strongest, and bear the burden of what it means to wield that power so others don’t have to. But the fact that we didn’t get any emotion out of him, like not a single panel of him looking frustrated, clenching his fists or an inner monologue of his thoughts felt SO wrong.

Another thing I need to mention is the time skip. Like I had expected Gojo to unleash all his pent up anger and emotions right then and there when he faced Kenjaku but nope. Especially considering the fact that Kenjaku is in Geto’s body - his one and only true friend! Like I feel like maybe those two having a small fight and then bringing all that tension down with Gojo reuniting with his friends and students really could have given us more in sight into Gojo’s thoughts and really added more depth to his character, especially considering he has been out of the series for over 100 chapters. And like I just really would love to see how much all of the deaths and Gojo being in the prison realm effected his mental and emotional state, because SURELY it affected him, right? Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this?

And also like seriously... there is no mention of Nobara whatsoever... like excuse me, if she is 100% dead, Gojo should have been told about her death too! Like honestly her death is left so ambiguous it’s so fucking painful. Arata literally stated that she had a slim chance for survival and if the confirmation was literally Megumi being SILENT and Yuji saying “oh, I get it.” is one of the WORST death confirmations I have ever witnessed because it is SO ambiguous and is just based on the assumption of Yuji believing she is dead! And if Gojo literally hasn’t been told, or if he has but Gege didn’t decide to show his reaction is so bad. And also I want to know so badly if Gojo knows that the old fart killed principal Yaga because Gojo is literally seen walking next to him with Utahime. And speaking of Utahime... gege remembered she exists. But I honestly doubt she’ll remain relevant in this last arc considering how the female writing took a fucking nose dive. And Miwa... like her appearance a few chapters back in the culling games really shook me and it was just never brought up again... like excuse me!!! It’s just so baffling like I seriously think Gege just doesn’t give a shit about his series anymore and has like forgotten what has happened in his own series. 

I just feel like Gege just wants to get to the end by any means necessary, he just doesn’t care if it coherent or paced well; he only wants to get to the finish line by the end of this year. It just makes me feel like he doesn’t even understand his own characters and what is happening in his own story at this point and it is so unbelievably disappointing. And like over the whole culling games arc it has just been action after action with no down time with the characters whatsoever that it just feels like a whole power play between characters, like they have to prove who is stronger and who is the better fighter, and they have all lost their depth to adher to the spectacle of the fights. Not all the characters but still, it’s just so unbelievably jarring seeing the direction JJK is taking. Like the theme of JJk is literally what it means to die a good death, and how no matter how powerful you are, cycles will always remain a constant and that they are rather extremely difficult or rather impossible to break. 

JJK used to be one of my favourite series of all time. I loved it so much and its characters, and while I still love some aspects and some characters, I can’t comprehend anything that is happening now. It’s very disappointing.

Here are some of my favourite quotes that give me motivation to write

These quote give me a lot of motivation to write and further improve my prose.

Every new discovery is just a reminder- That we’re all small and stupid. - Everything Everywhere All At Once, Evelyn and Jobu

Ignorance is bliss – Chainsaw Man, Quanxi

The one who killed my family and the one who killed my buddy are still alive. So what would I be quitting for? – Chainsaw Man, Aki Hayakawa

The necessary evil you speak of, is just an excuse to justify the evil things you do. Society has no need for that excuse. – Chainsaw Man, Makima

It's hard to put a leash on a dog once you've put a crown on its head. – Game of Thrones, Tyrion Lannister

Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour, and it can never be used to hurt you – Game of Thrones, Tyrion Lannister

We have invisible scars left behind by the flames. – Violet Evergarden, Claudia Hodgins

One needs a lot of courage to say the words “I love you.” Especially if the feeling isn’t mutual and it makes you want to flee. ­– Violet Evergarden

I don’t like the terms good or bad person because it’s impossible to be entirely good to everyone. To some, you are a good person, while to others you are a bad person. – Attack on Titan, Armin Arlert

This world is cruel… but it is also very beautiful. – Attack on Titan, Mikasa Ackerman

You know, love doesn't mean “I never want you to change.” But I don't think it means "I don't care how you change," either. So I suppose it might mean "I believe you'll always be the person I adore." A declaration of faith, perhaps. – Bloom Into You, Sayaka Saeki

Once I met Nanami Touko, I accepted it. It wasn’t understanding, or resignation, just acceptance. Of myself, and of the fact that I could only love girls. - Bloom into You: Regarding Saeki Sayaka, Sayaka Saeki

I think I'm sensing a pattern in my favourite male characters... if they have a traumatic past, take on a father/brother figure role, are deeply emotional but keep it to themselves, and try to provide a better world (Geto's is obviously a fucked up way to go about it tho but from his perspective he thinks he's doing the right thing) for the people they care for then I will love them. They show their love for the people they care for through their actions. And they are also probably considered one of the more emotional characters in their story respectively, like they hold deep and genuine care for the people they love but only show it in certain circumstances/people or when they are alone.

Also they are all introverts who all have dark eyes and black hair so...

Ok right now I am an anime-only for Hell’s Paradise and honestly, I am living for the dynamic between Gabimaru and Sagiri. And what I find very interesting is how the author has essentially chosen to reverse the gender roles in both their characters. It seriously enhances their dynamic tons.

Gabimaru possesses more typical “feminine” traits when it comes to how his character is written. He only cares about getting back to his wife, no matter what, he will do whatever he can do return to her and be with her. It’s pretty subversive for a shonen protagonist to inherent these characteristics and it’s something that should be done a lot more with male characters in general because it makes them feel more vulnerable. We see these sorts of character archetypes in female shonen characters, the ones who obsess over the male lead and are watered down to only being the love interest, but Gabimaru embraces that part of his character, and there is clear added depth to his character besides him just wanting to return to his wife. He has his indifferent opinions about death and he has Sagiri who acts as a foil for his character to develop his emotions more and be more open with himself. 

Sagiri does inherit the typical “masculine” traits at the time with her wanting to be a samurai, be head of the Yamada clan, and perfect her clans execution technique. It’s everything a male was expected to achieve to do during this time period, but Sagiri - a woman who is thought of as inherently weak and only useful for continuing the clans bloodline - wants to be a samurai. She is determined and keeps a strong head, even when she doubts herself and people marginalise her goals and dreams because she is a woman, she continues to preserver and keep pursuing her goals. It’s great to see a self-aware and grounded female character like Sagiri in a shonen, and in a short amount of time she has managed to become a well developed and layered character.

Sagiri and Gabimaru contrast each other with these reversed gender roles society establishes, and they act a foil for each other through their flaws and strengths. Gabimaru has a high mental strength which assists Sagiri in gaining her own encouragement. Whereas Sagiri assists Gabimaru into thinking more practically and open up more to his emotions.
