#but saying yuuta is the better mc??

[kozuwhore]

jjk fandom ,, stop comparing yuuta to itadori challenge

[gojosbf]

Sorry, but I need to say something I've been thinking about for a while. I found geto's death forcing. 1.he loses to a boy with no experience and the power of ''love''. 2.he was stronger and had more knowledge and experience than the boy yuta. 3. It seems that the author just wanted to get rid of geto so that this annoying villain Kenjaku could come. 4. In my opinion, Geto is the best villain. I don't understand why the author didn't want to continue with him. 5. His death was forced because Saturo already had a change in character and personality. What I'm trying to say is that in the film, Satura is already different, he's no longer that immature young man. 6. the serious work was much more dramatic if geto had survived saturo blow he would have become stronger and returned as a villain again with sukuna. Sorry if it's big, but I have these doubts that such a good and well-constructed character had a horrible ending and very little.

I have mixed feelings about this anon but first I'd clarify things point by point for you and then give my opinion if possible

1. Yuuta Okkotsu has a special grade curse, the queen of curses Rika, the power of "love" you speak tho it might sound cliché does fit here well and it was explained in the manga that love is considered the most twisted curse (if you saw the movie you'd have seen that gojo said this line to him too).

2. Yes sure geto had more experience and knowledge but yuuta is an acclaimed prodigy, his cursed technique is mimicry, rika was so scaringly powerful even before she fully evolved, geto KNEW that if he absorbed rika he'd have everything needed to form his "ideal world". He wasn't just any nobody who managed to get lucky.

3. Okay now here there are two reasons and I am trying my best to find words to explain it, yuuta was meant to be the original mc of jjk, he is the op character. Geto wanted rika (as I mentioned in the previous point) to accomplish his dream so if geto won that battle the story as whole would've taken a very different turn, we wouldn't need itadori and the whole first years and their stories. Remember how I said yuuta was supposed to the actual mc? Yeah that's were gege actually made changes so he could make a better and elaborate plot.

4. Geto Suguru was infact an amazing villain, yes. But you've also got to understand that he was sympathetic towards jujutsu sorcerers, he'd never risk harming them (his own last words being "I never hated anyone from jjk high") unless they're in his way. He had to die because we needed someone who'd go all out, no mercy to anyone, no regard and sympathy for anyone and that's exactly why we needed someone like kenjaku, who was equally powerful, evil and not shy to bring hell.

5. Geto's death had nothing to do with "changing gojo's personality", that change already happened after hidden inventory and premature death arc. His death was an important decision for future plot points (explaining why yuuji was special, sealing the strongest etc).

6. This is where I fully give my opinion, sure Suguru would've come back as stronger and even more powerful villain but would he have achieved what kenjaku did? Geto Suguru that we knew would choose any other route than sealing Gojo, he literally did not even try to protect himself and gave gojo a chance to kill him (during kfc breakup), he never attacked jujutsu high until yuuta happened, he worked with rejected sorcerers and never paired up with evil curses like hanami, jogo and mahito. So, to put it simply it was important part of plot that geto first turned evil and then died, that shaped so many important arcs of the manga and it was well thought out for long run. Sure it's sad and frustrating but that was one good writing move on gege's part and there's no denying that.

[hijinks-n-lowjinks]

Okay, so I have a lot of thoughts after last night's jjk chapter leaks. For me, there's only a couple of ways the manga can go, including my theories on how the series will resolve:

JJK CHP 236 SPOILERS AHEAD

Option 1) Gojo is legitimately dead.

It really seems from the translation that he's dead. Gojo himself says that he's been killed by someone stronger than himself and the chapter discussing the reactions to his death, even his own.

If this is the case, then I think Kashimo will be defeated and Yuuta and Yuuji will double team Sukuna. Sukuna is Yuuji's villain, not Gojo's. He has the be the final one to fight him and as of now, he's not strong enough to go toe to toe with Sukuna on his own.

Option 2) Gojo will use reverse CT and revive himself.

I think Gojo is "dead" because he says so himself, but I could see that he has the power to revive himself. Maybe when he first fought Toji he "died" but revived himself back then as well. He even said that Toji lost because he didn't cut off his head. We also see the corner of his mouth lift into a smile in one of the final panels.

If this is the case, I think the three boys (Kashimo, Yuuta, Yuuji) will fight Sukuna while Gojo recovers.

The real reason I can see Gojo not being dead is that he hasn't battled Kenjaku yet. He is Gojo's villain. Gojo needs to reclaim Geto's body and give it the proper burial he didn't give it beforehand. I also think he's going to die from his wounds/exhaustion after this fight, since he no longer needs to be "the strongest" and he can finally rest with Geto and his friends. This is the best way I can see his character arc resolving.

Furthermore, Gojo says that he it's lonely being the strongest and he tried to show that to Sukuna but "the one to teach you love is..." I think he's talking about Yuuji and Megumi. That they will be the ones to kill Sukuna.

Once again, there are two ways to go about it.

Option 1) Yuuji mercy kills Megumi. Megumi will somehow reclaim control of his body it will be a reverse parallel to when Sukuna ripped out Yuuji's heart. Their love and affection for each other will be Sukuna's undoing.

But I think the second option is far better and far more likely.

Option 2) Yuuji is able to take back Sukuna and is once again his vessel. He will die in a similar way as he did at the prison but this time he's going to stay dead and Megumi will live.

This is satisfying for two reasons: Yuuji wants to live the best he can so he has a death he can be proud of. Megumi has a bad habit of being ready to give his life (not risk his life, two very different things as Gojo said) in order to win.

This outcome satisfies both arcs. Yuuji will get that satisfying death and Megumi will live for him. Gege had said that either 1 of the 4 mcs would die or 1 of the 4 would live. So far we've had two assumed deaths, so the latter is more likely.

[cursedvibes]

So megumi is a prodigy, has a technique that can match the six eyes and on top of that is resistant to sukuna such that he could become a cage for him. I can see why people are saying that he's more of a mc than Yuuji, this is the kind of thing a protagonist gets. But I also know that not everything has been revealed related to Yuuji and I've no doubt it will be good. I still can't help but be miffed about the megumi thing tho. On one hand, I love Yuuji the way he is and his growth and development, on the other hand I want him to be special like the other MCs or maybe I should say more special than megumi. I don't know if that makes sense. Anyway, megumi stans are being really annoying right now and I'd be happy to see him dead even though I know he won't be. I like megumi but I don't make a big deal about deaths, I'm more interested in seeing how the story progresses and how it'll affect Yuuji.

Yeah, I can totally relate to that feeling. I guess Sukuna does say that the cage thing only applies for one finger and we've seen curses swallow fingers and contain them, so controlling cursed energy does seem to make you more resistant to it, but together with everything else it does feel a bit tired. It clearly doesn't make him as resistant of a vessel as Yuuji, but it's very "oh yeah, of course he could suppress (low-level) Sukuna too, why not..."

I'm honestly happy that Yuuji isn't a special/chosen one type mc like that though because MCs like Naruto or Deku who are seemingly good at everything and are showered in gifts are boring. Megumi is better written than those two (and Yuuta), but I think his blessed/destined one thing is part of why he was never that interesting to me, only in regards to how he relates to Yuuji & Tsumiki. And Yuuji is actually quite gifted too. He has been studying jujutsu for barely half a year and is already able to use multiple Black Flashes. He is exceptional, it's just that he only recently started learning, unlike Megumi who has been trained by Gojo since he was 6. But fandom likes to ignore that. Megumi's power progression has also been quite steady compared to his level of experience. Outside of Yuuta and maybe Maki, nobody ever received some crazy sudden power-up, but Maki has been foreshadowed since Vol 0 and she still had to learn how to handle those new powers. I wouldn't want Yuuji to just whip out a technique out of nowhere and be instantly good at it. That would just feel unrealistic. There is far more focus on his mentality than with Megumi and he has a lot of internal development. For me, he's perfect how he is developing right now, but I get that to the average shonen fan who wants flashy fights and power fantasies, he must be pretty boring.

Sukuna is bold and chaotic and causes a lot of destruction and death, but Kenjaku is the villain who actually moves the story along. Without them, Sukuna wouldn't even be around. By being related to them, Yuuji is automatically more of a main character than Megumi. The story follows his internal struggle and development, which is why most of the events are implemented to have some kind of profound emotional impact on him (Maki is seems to be the only exception, so I'm curious where that leads). Kenjaku moves the story along to push Yuuji towards some unknown goal and by having this connection, it makes them the main protagonist and antagonist of the story. Sukuna and Megumi's relationship is important too, but their actions still serve to trigger a change in Yuuji, which is why Megumi could never be the main character.

It is really annoying that some people in the fandom don't seem to see this and just throw Yuuji aside for being "weak". They'll hype up his Shibuya fight against Mahito, but then turn around and be like "all he does is punch, so boring". In his fight against Higuruma he doesn't even have cursed energy for the majority of it and it's still considered one of the best fights in the Culling Game. He doesn't need some six eyes worthy powers to stand out. Those people also seem to be under the impression that he's now no different than when he left high school because Sukuna isn't inside him, even though the majority of his strength didn't come from him. It helped against Mahito because of the soul thing, but the rest of his skills are his own and he doesn't just lose them because Sukuna is gone. It doesn't seem like Sukuna took his cursed energy, which I've also seen speculated. I don't know how that would even be possible, but it doesn't look like Sukuna is interested in that. He's fully on the Megumi train, Yuuji doesn't matter to him anymore. People give Yuuji shit for being punched through some buildings, but if it had been Megumi in his stead, he wouldn't have faired much better.

So yeah. Even if these events trigger a cursed technique in him, Yuuji is probably not gonna instantly master it and that's fine. Still remember reading Vol 0 for the first time and rolling my eyes at Yuuta just copying Inumaki's technique and using it better than him with no build-up and pulling reversed cursed technique out of his ass when it had never even been mentioned that that exists. I don't need that for Yuuji. I think it's okay if the main character isn't the strongest or close to the strongest person in the story by the end. Being the strongest was never Yuuji's goal anyway, just enough to save the people he cares about, but that's clearly not meant to happen, which makes it all the more interesting. Megumi (or Sukuna now) and Yuuta can throw their power around as much as they want, Yuuji is gonna progress at his own pace. He's still special, just in different ways than them.

[comingyourlugubriousness]

"I uhm...wouldn't do that if I was you? What? You want to know 'exactly' what will happen if you do...sorry no can do."

Finally got around to making my own art after commissions and I'm proud to show you my Yokai Yume for @deiformlover 's Yokai au! I based them off of a Kudan!

Backstory:

Yume was born as a Kudan under a meteor shower, however, unlike other Kudan's of the past they did not immediately foretell their prophecies. Instead, they saw a vision of their own death, a possibility; they realized if they ever spoke aloud their prophecies aloud. As such, they remained silent around humans. Because of this they were deemed worthless and cast out of their place of birth.

Yume was left to wander and fend for themselves for a number of years, always hiding their true nature because if anyone found out they would want to know their fortunes, despite the guaranteed death Yume would face in return.

As they grew so did their strength and powers and they were able to do more than thought possible of Kudan from the past.

Overtime, Yume learned that although they couldn't say exactly what would happen in their visions they could give people hints, riddles, and advise others when and when not to take action.

Eventually, they ended up on Sage Island and after making a deal with the head mage Crowley, he agreed that they could have safe Refuge at NRC so long as Yume helped advise the staff and school of possible dangers in the future.

In their day to day, they stay hidden in plain sight by pretending to be an average cow beastmen. Though the main staff and very close friends know what's up.

How they meet MC:

When students start to go missing, Yume knows exactly who is responsible for it, but cannot say. It's a bit frustrating for them and everyone. So after another vision, they go seek out the MC in disguise as a student and cryptically advise them on what they should do (without revealing too much of course.)

Trivia:

Yume is relatively young for a yokai, but is still the oldest Kudan known to history and , as such, still has a lot of wonder and curiosity about the world. They want to learn! And will sometimes sneak into lessons they're interested in.

Yume's biggest workaround to not speaking their prophecies is drawing them. They work hard to improve their artistic abilities so that they can help people better understand them.

Yume meets his adoptive brothers Yuuta and Yuuuhi at Sage Island, and is so happy to have them!

They tend to follow students their curious about, but stay a good distance away because they are very shy!

They have a habit of being quiet around others they don't know well and when they are distraught. As they have bad memories of people trying to force them to speak prophecies.

Sometimes they worry that they are being selfish/useless, keeping the prophecies to themselves just to save their own life, and as such they desire to use their bit of power to help people when they can.

Yume's bigger visions usually come to them when they're stargazing. Their favorite spot to sit is the old tree on campus.

To cover the fact that they are able to see their future they show interest in hobbies like palm reading/tarot cards.

Powers and Abilities:

Besides their visions/precognition, Yume has developed powers over time currently not known to other Kudan's due to their famously short lifespans, they're still learning and don't know the full extent of their own potential!

Shapeshifting, to appear with more human features, though they still struggle to get rid of their tail and ears. Flash Precognition, they will sometimes get minor visions of events that will happen within a few seconds or minutes, so they are usually prepared to avoid any mishaps. (Despite this they can still be quite clumsy). Fast learning (Language only)- Kudans are born with the ability to speak human languages, as such Yume is able to pick up languages very fast with only a few conversations required.

I hope I did okay. I don't really know much about Yokai but this was really fun to do! I love seeing everyone's beautiful art!

Hello.... Can I ask your top 5 (or top 3) favorite characters from Jujutsu Kaisen? And why you loved them? And your top 5 favorite moments from the series? Thanks if you want to answer....

omf . Okay, my tops are, as follows: Number one is a massive tie between Satoru & Sukuna. The divine brought down to earth, the reality of who Satoru is measured up with his character. He doesn't come off as a person who completely disregards strength as soon as he realized he couldn't save others, but he readjusts his view for a more optimistic approach: I don't have to be the one to save the world, I can teach others. He's the strongest, but that doesn't mean he's not flawed: he lets his emotions get the better of him, he doesn't live up to expectations of others, he's a rebellious little thing in his own right. And how he just says fuck authority if he doesn't agree with the ruling; which led to the rescue of Yuuta among other things. And Sukuna..... there's something about everyone expecting this monster, mindless and unthinking, suddenly being faced with a demon that DOES think and DOES have a personality other than ruthless bloodshed and battle. He was a man before he was the curse, and that man shines through even when people don't take the time to notice. The man that dedicated his life to the study of jujutsu, the arts, and who went so far as to become a curse to possibly further study the nature of cursed energy. ... we need his backstory soon. Or I'm making one up. Like satoru, Sukuna gets held up on a certain pedestal, and people are shocked when he's not what they expect. No matter how hard I try, I can't pick between those two for the life of me. Yuuji Itadori. (I love him as a main character; he's just the right amount of humor into the first season with how shocked he is, a good audience surrogate. However he himself is his own character at the same time, especially in season 2 we get to see the real lengths he's willing to go to protect those that he loves. He's a MC of pure heart, and he brings his heart everywhere he goes no matter how much it bleeds behind him. He wears it on his sleeve and I find that so..... profound? special, in a society where you can't, or at least aren't supposed to wear your emotions so obviously. It says a lot about him that he'd stop to pray for the dead in the middle of a war, even when he didn't know the victims of the grasshopper curse in the beginning of season 2.) I could probably put this together better later. Runner ups are... well, Megumi. I'm sure you can get your answer pretty much anywhere. And he's stunning. I love his character design, the colors, and how fiercely he protects his own ideals. He knows what he wants to do and isn't gonna let anyone stop him. Top moments (in the anime & manga) Sukuna vs Satoru, round 1 in Sendai & round 2 in Shinjuku. Yuuji's "I'm you" speech. Megumi vs Sukuna at the prison. Sukuna vs Mahoraga. Higuruma and Yuuji's conversation in the culling games.

[kerberos-ghost]

the main character can't be yuuta or megumi either, no matter what people say because thats!!!! not how it works!!!! yes megumi has sukuna now but that doesnt mean hes suddenly the main character??? maki got a sick power up but was she suddenly the MC? no. and yuji makes this story like 100x better

and if you're still all like "but kerb! he gets one shot by the entire universe!!!" like yes??? and??? the power system in jjk goes by emotions, not necessarily physical strength, and yuji has been stuck in this "cog in the machine" mindset for 100ish chapters, of course he wouldnt be over powered. but have you seen him fight? he's adaptive to his partner's strengths and weaknesses, and has earned the respect of numerous people. give him his chance and you'll see that he's the main character of jjk

Grand Slam - Blue Requiem: Chapter 3

Location: Yumenosaki Academy Pool Characters: Tetora, Tomoya, Hinata, Midori, Touri, Shinobu, Yuuta, Subaru, Hokuto, Makoto, Mao, Yuzuru, Ibara & Aira

TL Note:

“Taishou” is how Tetora addresses Kurou and it means something along the lines of “boss”, “chief”, “leader” etc. The leader position in the “Old-Fashioned Sports Festival” is also referred to as “taishou”.

Tomoya’s surname means “pure white” or “blank” (and it’s easy to dye/taint something that’s white in colour).

Aira: (T-The MCs have stopped talking over the mic for some reason! Actually, it looks like they’re talking to each other in secret?)

(Does this mean that’s it for the explanation? This can’t be real! Someone save me from this hopeless situation…!)

Subaru: You got this, Leader ♪

Makoto: Don’t lose faith, Leader ♪

Hokuto: No, have fun if you can’t win! Just as you wished!

Makoto: Our leader! Shiratori-kun! You’re sparkling so brightly right now…☆

Tetora: Hmm, I still feel a bit reluctant to call anyone else “Taishou[1] ” other than Kiryuu-senpai. Does that make me petty?

Midori: You’re strangely fussed about the details, huh, Tetora-kun… Morisawa-senpai felt the same way too, but… titles and stuff don’t really matter, right…?

Shinobu: Come on, stop muttering and let’s start cheering on the one who lessened our burdens – our respectful leader!

Touri: Hmm… There’s something about that that I don’t like. It was totally obvious that it looked like someone made them say all that stuff yesterday. It was sly and it looked like they were just buttering up to the viewers.

Yuzuru: I believe you’re not in any position to point that out, Young Master. Even if it was something they were made to say, it reached the hearts of many others because it was a sincere speech.

As long as we are capable of being moved emotionally, Shiratori-sama is someone worthy of being our leader.

Aira: (No, the one who was talking most of the time was Yuuki-senpai, though!? It just felt like I was rushed around and carried in a portable shrine!)

(Our goal is to enjoy ourselves instead of winning. That speech also works perfectly with me, so I didn’t resist or correct him, though.)

(W-Who would’ve thought things would turn out like this…!?)

(It looks like “Team StarPro’s” popularity and reputation is growing for some reason and people are cheering us on a lot!?)

(Stop! I’m not good at exercise so I can’t win against those idols who look like they’re monsters!)

(Don’t cheer for me! Don’t expect things from me! It’s too much. What do I do if I lose…!?)

Tomoya: …You were still joking around a little while ago. But you really don’t look so good. Shiratori, you’re really pale.

Are you okay? If you’re not feeling great, I can tell the event judges and we can put it on hold for now…?

Aira: I’d rather we cancel it completely instead of putting it on hold… It was like this on the first day too, but why do the leaders always have to take part in the first event of the day?

You’re lucky. It’s not just you that’s participating in the event, so it seems pretty reassuring for you just by looking at the number of team members in the event.

It’s lonely for me and I can’t jump around so early in the morning. Actually, how can everyone else be this energetic? Including you, Mashiro-senpai?

Tomoya: Hmm~... We’re students, you know? We work more during the day rather than the night, so it’s probably just because we’re used to it, though.

I remember having to balance my classes and idol work back when I first started at Yumenosaki, and it sure was tough. I collapsed quite a lot last year thanks to that.

That’s exactly why my falling sick right before the “Old-Fashioned Sports Festival” ended up being good medicine for me. It reminded me that I still have a long way to go.

Aira: That’s so positive… You’re amazing, Mashiro-senpai. You’re totally sparkling ♪

Tomoya: I’m still far from it… You praise me like I’m someone awesome, but there are heaps of people who are way better than me in ES and Yumenosaki.

I can’t afford to stop walking – to stop my growth at a place like this!

Aira: Hyaa!?

Hinata: “Oh, that’s not fair!”

Yuuta: “Our leader of 'The RhyLin and CosPro Alliance’, Tomoya Mashiro, has launched an attack while they were casually chatting! He made an attempt to push the opponent’s leader into the wateeerrr!”

Aira: Gyaa~! Gyaa~! No, stop it, Mashiro-senpai!

Tomoya: Hey, stop moving around so much! Fall into the water already!

Aira: Hyaaaaa!? You’re a liar! You said you’d protect me! You traitooooorrr!

Tomoya: I’m not a traitor~ I said I’d protect you a long time ago but we’re enemies right now!

Aira: No, no, no! I don’t want to fall! Not ever again!

Ugh, if you’re gonna be like that, then I’m taking you down with me!

Tomoya: Woah, stop it! Don’t grab my leg! That tickles, geez, just fall off, dammit!

Yuuta: “Wow, he’s got no mercy for his poor underachieving junior ♪”

Hinata: “Hey, Tomoya-kuuun. Acting like the bad guy is CosPro’s speciality, isn’t it?”

Tomoya: The outfielders are so noisy… Alright, now that I’m on your side, you’ve influenced me to be evil too.

Yuuta: “Tomoya-kun is easy to influence and taint, after all ♪”

Hinata: “Just like his name suggests[2] ♪”

Ibara: “You two, I don’t might if you’re cheering or jeering at them, but do it someplace else, at the very least. The mic will pick up on your voices.”

Yuuta: “It’s fine, Vice Prez~ You mentioned it was CosPro’s job to be the MCs this time around.”

Hinata: “We’re part of CosPro too, so that means we can also be MCs, right?”

Tomoya: (Haha… “2wink”, they’re being more intrusive and enthusiastic than usual.)

(Well, variety shows like these are right up their alley, though.)

(We’re still in the middle of learning how to do that.)

(Teaming up with others won’t happen all the time, so I’ll take up this opportunity to learn closely from someone new in our group.)

Yuuta: “Go, go~! That’s it~! Get him~!”

Hinata: “Mwahaha~ You better be working like your life depends on it for us ♪”

Tomoya: They really don’t ever shut up… We’re the ones who teamed up with you guys in last place, so we’re both carrying the burden here.

You guys should act like you’re a bit sorry, you know?

Hinata: “Gosh, did you hear that, miss? What an unpleasant remark~!”

Yuuta: “How could you phrase it like we’re a relative carrying debt!? Unbelievable!”

Hinata & Yuuta: “Anyway, do you really think we’ve been serious all this time?”

Tomoya: Ahh~... So you guys were going easy on us, huh.

A large difference in points would create a need to change plans… You guys predicted that “Team RhyLin” and “Team CosPro” would be merged together.

Then, there’s no need for the big score difference, so that means you’ll be serious from now on, right?

I’ll be looking forward to it~ You guys are the top in our year, after all.

Yuuta: “Ahaha~ Hearing someone from ‘Ra*bits’ saying that just makes it sound like sarcasm~♪”

Hinata: “Yeah~ We actually respect ‘Ra*bits’ quite a lot, you know ♪”

Yuuta: “But even though you’re the leader of the alliance because ‘Team RhyLin’ was in a higher spot than us, it doesn’t make us that happy to see you in that position.”

Hinata: “Yeah. If you’re gonna show us a pathetic performance, we’ll have to push you aside and take the leader spot for ourselves.”

Yuuta: “We’ll actually betray you if you keep on losing~♪”

Hinata: “Kick Tomo-kun off and it’ll be a change in leadership~♪”

Tomoya: (Oh, geez. I can’t trust them at all… This is exactly why CosPro is annoying whether they’re an enemy or an ally.)

(I really can’t let my guard down for a second.)

!!BIG SPOILERS FOR JJK MANGA!!

I'm in a pissy mood about Noritoshi cutting his hair in the recent chapters so I'm here for violence. Here are some depressing opinions (but I feel they're facts) about the future of JJK

Itadori has to die in the end or it won't be as good because all of this would be for nothing. If he doesn't the series will feel unfinished, even though no one wants to see Senor Sunshine die.

If Gojo wasn't sealed half this bullshit wouldn't have happened. Need I say more.

While it was devastating, Nanami's death had a very important impact on the series. He was my favorite (besides Geto), too, but his death let Itadori and everyone else grow as characters. He will be missed, but it's important to know his impact is still obvious prior to his death.

Toji's death was sad because it showed he didn't want to hurt his son, but he was a shitty dad and an even shittier person. We all love him, but let's be honest, he's a bitch.

Junpei was a very hurt person and he deserved a second chance, but he was probably too far gone for retribution. His passing was also VERY important for the development of Itadori as a character (yes I'm still on this it was sad).

Though I would commit several crimes for it, we will probably never get the original, real Geto Suguru back. Would it ruin the story if he was brought back? In my opinion, no. Is it likely? In my opinion, also no.

Sukuna is not likely to show up soon and if he does I don't think it will be positive. Yuuta literally swore to kill Itadori/Sukuna if this happened.

The mountain-looking-most-powerful- sorcerer guy (I forgot his name but the guy Choso is protecting) is a fucking bitch and I don't like him. If he's so powerful and all-knowing, where is he when we need him?

Mahito's death was not satisfying enough for how much shit he stirred up.

I didn't like Mei-Mei and I never will. Incest is a border that shouldn't be crossed and she was acting WAY too funky with her VERY YOUNG brother for me to let it slide.

While Itadori is considered the MC, I personally really like what Gege Akutami is doing with the series. All the other characters are being given a chance to show their worth and potential and, while I miss Itadori and Gojo dearly, I'm super excited to see characters that not only don't have preset advantages, but even disadvantages get a chance to develope into very powerful characters.

Just a wish of mine that probably won't happen: I want everyone Itadori has collected as buds along the way to come back eventually. They were mostly all really interesting characters that I feel have a lot of potential.

Yes we want to see the original characters more, but this is how a series works. You get new characters and you develop them because they are the new keys to a better plot.

Really enjoyed writing this lol maybe I'll do it again.

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE TRAILER BEING STRAIGHTBAITING I JUST HAD THE WRONG FUCKIN CHARACTER!!! like i realize there’s some uh. artistic liberties goin on here with the phrasing HOWEVER until i see the film for myself i am choosing to live in the universe where all four of gridman’s MCs are canon bi 😌 move the fuck over gridman, this is ssss.bisexuality now

CRYING AT THIS. POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW………..WAS THIS WHY HE EATS LIVE CRABS FROM THE RIVERBED. FUCKED UP IF TRUE. I LOVE HIM

valid, this happens to me too whenever i go for a run

💀💀.

obsessed w the implication that “two humans get inside a very large human-appearing being” does not need an explanation but “kaiju that was already Special gets a new form” does

i see you amemiya . also don’t wanna count my chickens before they hatch but this seems like such a nice arc for rikka? like i’ll have to actually see the film to be certain but it’s nice that she’s able to acknowledge what akane means to her, still want to be with akane, make the decision that her grief over akane isn’t more important than akane’s real happiness, honor what she had with akane on her own terms, AND THEN move on and accept yuuta’s confession. again i might be calling the shots too early but it seems like a nuanced and mature way to do “bisexual character ends up with character of opposite gender” without making it a “gay phase” or “oh they were REALLY just straight all along” (or at least better than honoka kzn or mitsuru frnxx 🥴) like it’s nice that she tells yuuta it’s good he waited so long to confess so that she could actually develop interest in him AND grapple w akane. i like that.

ALSO. I JUST WANTED TO SAY. I WAS RIGHT LMAO I CALLED IT THE THIRD THING WASN’T RECEIPTS BUT

TWO MONTHS AGO……………….I UNDERSTAND GAUMA WITH MY SOUL

and last but not least, a rite of passage

also unrelated but goddamn today has been “i knew i loved gauma but i didn’t know i loved him THAT MUCH” day 😭😭😭 i’ve cried over his neon genesis suit three separate times and i literally am looking forward to seeing this movie so much?? like!!!! i picked him as my fav before i even saw the show cause i fucking LOVEEEE his design so goddamn much and then he was a goofball mecha pilot and it was all well and good AND FUCKING THEN. he goes and finds some wayward people and loves them so goddamn hard in his own bizarre way and it challenges them all to grow and change and be better and it SCARS them too but they embrace it because they love him right back and then at the end he straight up says that it’s okay that he never found his princess, that he still loves her but now he has the dyna crew and they’re good enough on that same level and HAHXHCNFNCNMCJCJDJSJXJDN. unsurprisingly i am devouring an admission of platonic love equivalent to romantic love, who’d have guessed!!!! and i’ve just been so so happy that i get to see more of him in the future, even in his rex form, and i’ve felt so GOOD all day because i have that to look forward to 😭😭😭 sorry for being too sincere abt this but I AM FEELING THINGS ABOUT MEDIA and holy fucking shit i am so happy that gauma exists 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[sems-diarie]

hii can u post a review of the new jjk movie when u watch it? i watched it and ITS SO GOOD i wanna see what u think abt it:)))

jjk 0 spoilers (obvi)

buckle up bc once i start talking, i don’t stop

the opening sequence felt cinematic. and i love how they used music to structure it like an anime op. god i love it here.

i ADOREDDDDD how we got to see yuuta function as the mc to his own story versus just adding him to yuuji’s story, because it helps establish the world of jjk and how it’s existed before yuuji was apart of the bigger picture. fantastic world building. i’m so jealous of akutami and isayama as writers ☹️

jjk 0 also made me realize the difference between a backstory and an origin story. like i’d say yuuta’s backstory was rika, but his origin story elaborates on to the final parts of the movie—when he fights getou and sets rika free after actualizing his goals as a character. and the goal-identifying part is what’s significant for establishing an origin story.

s’like in the mcu, how spider-man has three movies and they all work to establish his origin story? yuuta’s backstory had multiple components to it; the movie didn’t just show us his tragic past, but it also showed us how he comes to be yuuta okkotsu, the legend.

also!! i really liked the scene when maki is pressuring yuuta into identifying what his goals are as a character. there’s something addictive ab the line “i want to make sure no one else gets hurt” (or a variant of that, i can’t remember the whole line, but it occurs after he and maki get trapped in the curse belly.)

that dialogue tag, specifically, really set the movie on fire and added so much to yuuta’s character—yuuta isn’t just a sorcerer because of rika, or because of some blood debt he feels he owes her. he isn’t just a sorcerer because he has this melancholic view of the world and wants to use jujutsu to brood over it. he’s a sorcerer because he wants to protect everyone else from experiencing that kind of pain ever again. his learned optimism is his greatest strength i love him :(

i also LOVE that we got that little flash forward to the present <333 i need to know what he’s been up to, and what he has to do w the narrative now. i saw that one manga panel of yuuta dragging yuuji out of ?? SOMEHWERE by his scruff and i’ve had an eye on yuuta since. so it’s nice to have a personality for a face i’ve been seeing for a year now 😭

speaking of character depth, it was wonderful to see getou’s actual personality LOL?? i feel like s1 gave us absolutely nothing so knowing getou’s motivations as the villain helps me understand s1 better.

that being said, his philosophy is GARBAGE LMAOOOO the most obvious flaw in his plan is that jujutsu sorcery is a naturally-occurring phenomenon. anyone can encounter curses, and just like that they’d go from being a “monkey” to a sorcerer. yuuji and yuuta, for example. i’m kinda disappointed bc i thought getou’s motivations were a little more calculated than this but i don’t particularly care for him enough to be super angry ab it

THAT being said, gojo’s relationship with getou will forever stay with me. even after all this time, gojo STILL TRUSTS HIM?? “he was my best friend! the only one i ever had.” my fucking stomach hurts. and the way gojo sounded so happy to call getou his best friend?? i know he might be keeping up appearances but there was sumn genuine in that fr. sumn wistful.

ALSO WHAT DID GOJO SAY?? WHEN HE SQUATTED DOWN TO TALK TO GETOU WHEN BRO WAS BEAT UP IN THE ALLEY WAY???

the fight scenes were fucking spectacular. maki and yuuta’s sparring session was so clean. also—they hyped maki up so MUCH in this movie!!!! i just fucking adore how everyone looks up to her 😭 she’s so influential and she doesn’t even know it. been that bitch, still that bitch LOLLL

gojo beat that poor man’s ass 😕 AND NO THEY DIDNT GIVE THE BLACK MAN A WHIP TO FIGHT WITH 😭😒

inumaki’s look in this movie is the superior look. panda was goofy as always <333

RIKAAA MY BELOVED!!!! she was the star of the show. when yuuta let her out and she tore that fucking curse apart ???? THE RAINING BLOOD??? i forget how easily jjk switches between child-friendly and… not. the gruesome scenes never disappointed, too.

anyways, back to rika—there was this one part where the screen goes black and then all you hear is rika’s, “it’s a promise!” i don’t know what facet of story telling / movie making that is, but the visual and auditory structuring of her narrative was fucking insane. I GOT CHILLS.

and she, herself, was amazing. i cherished every bit of screen time she had. her and yuuta’s relationship was very sweet. childhood-friends-gone-wrong is always a beautiful trope to display the corrruption of innocence.

i do have to say that rika’s face didn’t look babyish to me??? like it felt like they drew a grown woman’s face into a little girl’s body and that was so uncomfortable 😭😭 they might have done that to prep us for when she’s finally set free at the end of the movie, and looks to be older than she was when she died. but maybe i’m just tripping.

the yuuta obsession was also very much felt 😭 one thing ab rika? she gon go to war for hers! i did get so sad though, when yuuta snapped at her to put maki down and she was begging him not to hate her. i’m glad she’s set free from that bc it seemed like such a burden to be tied to someone so feverishly. exhausting for the spirit.

is there anything i missed 😭

NANAMI OMG. i moaned when he came on screen i’m not sorry ab it either. and that one scene w gojo switching from his glasses to his bandages. the kitty was purring.

lastly, my favorite scene is definitely getou calling yuuta a womanizer LMAOOO getou said verbatim what i was thinking, but it’s ok bc like yuuta said—“it’s true love!” he’s so annoying omg. i miss him i need to go see the movie again.

[saintobio]

Plss no one is talking about the shade Mc threw to sera like 🏃‍♀️😽👌 ma'am I love the slow, very personal and the push and pull her character goes through to build herself up how she chooses!!!!! to stand on her hold and respect herself and that's so mature???? yet so hard to maintain here ngl when you are hurt repeatedly so much I'm so inspired by how Mc is so regal and mature in her ways and so good to the zenin kids and has such a deep and valuable connection with toji like apart from everything, just two very emotionally wounded yet strong people being together is so good to see! Also I wish she was less lenient towards the people that demean her you know 😥😭 but she's building herself up on her own and working and investing and choosing herself!! LOVE THE CHARACTER PLEAEEEE

I’m so sorry for clogging up ur inbox, just wanted to say I’m so happy for yn, all the chapters so far have made me so sad for y/n (which means u really did a good job building up angst and conflict!) but like! Yes! We have been scheduled for some vindication! Yes, y/n! We’re starting to get some of that sweet sweet karma served up!

I stan a fashionista kween who prioritizes herself first! Who doesn’t take shit from some bitch wearing a tacky dress that wasn’t even fit to be her back up choice (no shade to Elie Saab I love their dresses but S*ra could make anything look tacky)! Also, the attention seeker line HIT THE SPOT. I know it enraged me when he called her that in the beginning of their marriage, and the fact that she threw that back in his face—YES GIRL GO OFF.

Also, idk yet what naoya is doing but YES he is quickly becoming a problematic fave for this fic. YES, go play s*ra like a fiddle, you fuccboi! Idk what you’re doing but keep doing it!

Also I love how you included bits of s*ra’s private life. Like, yikes, anger issues much? She has this weird obsession with y/n and having her sloppy seconds—gojo, that dress, etc. I bet she’d stub her toe while in her room and start screaming about how it’s y/n’s fault like ok keep screaming Felicia.

Also, I was wondering, will we see y/n and/or gojo being friends with yuuta? I know you mentioned before that he doesn’t have many friends because he was bullied for his mother being a social climber. I feel bad for him because he seems like a sweet kid (must have gotten it from his dad LMAO). It would be nice if y/n would introduce him to the zenin kids (except for naoya) and they’d all be pals.

Lastly I’d like to say I hope you feel better! Please don’t feel pressured to upload by the exact deadline! Writing is hard especially if you’re doing it for free and have a life outside of it. We all understand! Please prioritize yourself first!

Ik gojo’s doing his best, but I think that he needs to suffer from the fall, karma he deserves and be exposed for his wrongdoings before he can actually start to TRULY redeem himself for Y/N. It shouldn’t be as easy as just breaking it off with Sera. He needs to suffer a lot first. Also, I hate Sera so fucking much I’d shave her head and have a boxing match w her for abusing Satoru, hurting Y/N, ruining their marriage, and hurting her loving family. She is a manipulative gold digging woman who knows nothing but to kiss her ass and victimize herself sighs I’m gonna rip your organs apart girl dont u ever exist irl u bring out a vulgar side of me. I’m poor too but thats no excuse to have a personality worse than horseshit like hers ✋

i just finished reading the latest chapter of sn and wow…. that was so good i have no words.

first of all i’m so glad that sera isn’t pregnant but even if she isn’t i totally get y/n getting a divorce and i’m so glad that she’s putting herself first. like even though sera isn’t pregnant satoru never felt the need to let her know that a pregnancy scare had happened; even when she asked if he had anything to say.

i get that satoru’s trying to become better and i can see that, but too much has happened in the relationship for them (satoru and y/n) to be happy together. the fact that satoru won’t talk about his wrongdoings in the past and work things out is a major show of this. like instead he’s just trying to pretend everything that’s happened before has never happened.

since u mentioned that the sequel(?) to sn will be a time skip i could be down to y/n and satoru getting together then since they’ll have had time to move on and grow but only IF satoru will accept what he’s done wrong.

sorry this is kinda long i just really love this book sm lol. i hope u feel better now and have a great day <3

so happy y/n is putting herself first, she shoulda hurt him more and filed for an annulment, pretend it never happened lol. no but fr it needs to happen, im so glad shes getting away from hoejo. i dont want them together at all, but if they ever do, they rly need this time apart (y/n does anyway, she needs to work on herself for all the shit hes put her through. the emotional abuse she’s felt has been so hurtful to c, and if she does still wanna be with him after it all, then that’s on her, but at least it can be on HER own terms, when she’s able to think clearly after she’s healed and not b manipulated by outside factors to stay in something that’ll just hurt her and could do irreparable damage and not just mentally).

also lowkey mad abt ieiri? regardless of how horribly disgusting (redacted) is, i dislike how just bc hoejo and y/n r married, it’s expected that y/n should automatically just stay w him despite all he put her thru? and she knows it too?

its y toji (i feel) is best chara tbh bc hes the only one that i feel actually cares abt y/n and whats best for her, while others just expect this and that from y/n all bc of their history and past. y/n has done more than enough, and i’m wondering if this is going to be the eye opener y/n needs to fully focus on herself (yk how some ppl have epiphanies when they’re out of a toxic relationship and find their selfworth?) nothing more tragically sad to c than a beautiful woman stuck in such a relationship and doesnt know whats shes worth.

n t wayz, love ur writing girl! ik u answered this some time ago too, but do u still have plans to continue vampire suna? or were u planning to just focus on sn and pt 2 when it comes out? been missing suna ngl and im still hurt over wastelands fam (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)

@valoruzky said

Thanks for fueling the fire we have for Sera's toxicity like FUCK, SHE'S SO FREAKING ABUSIVE NOT ONLY EMOTIONALLY TO SATORU, BUT PHYSICALLY TOO. SHE'S ALSO VERBALLY ABUSIVE TO HER MOTHER JUST BECAUSE OF A DAMN FOOD AND MOANING FOR NOT HAVING A BIG SPACE IN THEIR HOUSE. I kinda hate to admit it but I'm starting to feel bad for Gojo because not only he was physically assaulted by his father in his life, Sera also abused him by gaslighting him and hurting him physically.

As for Gojo, one word. COMMUNICATION. How to settle things with wife? COMMUNICATION. How to explain things? COMMUNICATION. Is it that hard for you to explain everything? If you could just use your heart and mouth to talk things out to your wife, you could've cleared out the misunderstandings about the pregnancy and the current status between you and Sera. Fuck, if Gen somehow finds out her little sis divorced you, she'll kick your pretty ass.

As for Sera's character progress, a big round of applause to Saint! At firstz you made the readers to sympathize with her because of her life status and how she has to work her life hard to achieve things—which is something everyone can relate to. I love the way you made her pretty like every attractive antagonist in literature and comics/manga/manhwa so far (*cough* Trashta and Sovieshu). However, you made another reason for readers to hate her by fleshing out her personality (and yes, her personality hits close to home) and as the chapter progresses, she becomes way more worse. She became so desperate to win back Gojo and her attempts to ruin Y/N because she's so deluded to her "poor-girl-rich-prince-charming" fairytale, and becoming even more narcissistic and toxic to others, even to her own family. You're one of those writers whom I look up too because I want to write a good fic too so thank you so much.

Also, can I ask about Y/N's reaction? What would be her reaction if Gojo somehow found a courage to talk to her about his status with Sera and how he broke things with her and he's got nothing to her anymore? How would Y/N react if she finds out herself about Sera's pregnancy not being true all this time? What will be the odds?

I have to ask, if hoejo and the mc worked it out and stayed. What if they have a big fight like the one in Bora Bora? Will Hoejo act the same way and do things to hurt the mc? Also, does Hoejo actually find the mc to be beautiful the same way he did sera? If another one woman comes along just like sera in the beginning, would he fall for her the same.

His love seems to border the line of obsession(he loves HARD and WRONG) and I firmly believe that once a cheater, always a cheater. Especially we’re dealing with Hoejo here.

Something that stuck with me and really hurt was in chapter ten when the mc said, “you took all my first and made fun of me!” He STILL never actually apologize for that, instead it seems like he was trying to push sex even more. Does he actually regret the way he took the mc’s first time and it’s just his way of trying to make it right by having sex the right way?

I was honestly expecting the mc to pull a Gone Girl. Like go on sis, fake your own death, make them all pay! This chapter was such a rollercoaster and I like how you had us all focus on sera and the step mom for the 50th anniversary to cause a scene instead of the reader but honestly, as much as I love the two of them together, I think the mc needs this. She needs to find happiness on her own and not have it revolved and catered to others. She needs or learn to love herself and she’s not going to get any of that by staying with him. As frustrating as it was to read, I don’t blame the mc for not clearing the air about whether sera was pregnant or not. Imagine the headaches and confusion of having to deal with a man who treats you like shit one minute then treats you like you hung the moon the next. Hoejo has said so many thing, basically drilled, things into the mc head that can’t be easily done by a few words and less genuine gestures. 

I can’t wait to see how far sera will go now. She’s becoming delusional and it’s scary because she’s blaming all of this on the mc for no reason. Deep down sera knows she can’t have a future with Hoejo but she’s so unhinged and Hoejo is partially to blame for her behavior, there’s no coming back for sera, she is a lost cause.

Honestly though, I do fear for Hoejo because I feel like his dad is going to hurt him really bad and instead of standing up for himself he’s going to just take it. View it as a means of karma for hurting the mc but there isn’t much else he can do. Hoejo was too late in trying to fix his wrongs. He may of been scared at first to love the mc(since it’s always been her🙄) but that is still no excuse for the way he treated. No one deserved that and I am glad he’s paying for it.

Thank you for writing this chapter and for hopefully answering a few of my questions. I hope you’re feeling better drink plenty of water and get lost of rest. You deserve it💗💗

omfff what does naoya think of y/n?

TBH i’m starting to ship gojo n y/n again cus shoko was like ‘it’s always been her’ oOoooh i see 😋

but i gotta know!! what if naoya is causing all that trouble to push y/n towards toji? i know y/n loves gojo but she doesn’t see him as redeemable— for now so there may be a possibility ? if not as partners but as ultra besties ((bc having y/n on their side would also be a high asset)) !! haha i’m really enjoying how everything is unfolding!!

also thank you for writing this chapter and for resting!! despite some people’s actions, ur health means a lot to us, readers t___t take as much time as you need to rest, saint 🥺

Anonymous said

hi!! I really loved this chapter!

you said that naoya likes and respects(?) y/n so naoya is only toying with sera more because he knows she’s a horrible person or on his own terms?

how did sera feel when y/n told her about the wedding reception dress and “don’t ever embarrass (I think that’s what she said sorry bad memory) yourself like that again in front of me” ?

the entire thing with gojo saying “she’s not entitled” I know that had sera’s blood BOILING 💀

tbh sera is finally getting the universal ass whoopin she deserves, even if it’s kind of small.

the entire thing with sera insulting her own mom made me want to punch the screen oml. like girl you have a caring mom who’s worried about you and the only thing that’s on your mom is the man you were cheating with????

her making fun of lower class truly shows what kind of woman she is, she’s so quick to turn on people and that’s why she has no one to care about her 🤷🏻‍♀️

anyways, great chapter!!! I love your work!!

@honouredsatoru said

yn not wanting to communicate with gojo makes things worse tbh. i dont hate her, not at all, i understand where she's coming from. growing up, i've seen dramas where the female lead would get their hearts hurt by their loved ones and they put on this cold facade in order to get their revenge served better, but at times, i realized how much it hurts them more then the betrayal itself. especially when they had to force themselves to act the opposite of how they really are. all this assumptions and overthinking isnt good for your heart, yn. please. please talk it out with gojo. i have so much love for these two and i genuinely believe that they still love and crave for once another, its just that they lack communication and i blamed gojo for the pain he caused her to feel. in shorter words, yn and gojo need some therapy lmaooo. anyway, brilliant chapter and ofc writing, as always, saint <3

@atsunflower said

I wont do a deep chapter analisys because well damn, I really wasn't expecting it. Every single paragraph was amazing and thank god you surprised me.

Kudos to naoya, tho. He is the most interesting character so far, because he isn't doing it by the evil in his heart, well, he is, but there's also a reason why he is doing it (Im enjoying the pettiness between business rivals) and I really love his cunning personality with my whole heart.

And GIRL the way Sera was humiliated. Damn, I don't really like rich rich people stomping over the poor but she asked for it. Y/N was so damn classy at it too, it's def my favorite scene in tge whole story.

That's all, Saint. Thanks for sharing SN with us.

Hi I'm new here! Just started reading the series about 2 weeks ago because of a friend but I fell in love instantly that I binged all 10 chapters that day (there were only 10 when I started lol) and I would like to thank you for all the love and hard work you put into this masterpiece. I haven't really read any Gojo fics since he's not my first favorite in jjk but SN made me have a little crush on him. I enjoyed every chapter of this story even though I got hurt a lot by the angst. Even though MC already announced a divorce this chapter, I'm still hoping that it wouldn't really happen. I'm still hoping that she'd give another chance for Satoru to prove his genuine feelings for her and she'd see just how true they are now. Also I wanna say the way you write Sera is so good that I wanna rip off her hair every time she's mentioned in the story. At first I really did understand her because I know what it's like to be poor and to feel like the world is always against you. But she's proven the readers eventually how she's a gold digging bitch and while she does love Satoru, I think she loves his money even more.

I still have a lot of things to say but I'll stop here. I really appreciate you for sharing SN with us and I'm very much looking forward to the future chapters! :) - 🌸

Omg I actually made it to an open inbox…..thank you so much for always giving us the good good even when your health is at risk 😭 when I remembered you updated I dropped everything and practically ran over…..my heart was beating so fast and my reactions were all out loud the whole time. Thank you so much - I’m obsessed with y/n’s dad’s reaction 😭 you can tell how much he loves and trusts his daughter and just AUGH looking forward to maybe another Sera’s POV bc I wanna see her rage after y/n’s comment re:her dress lmao. And if I can ask - was Toji in on Naoya bringing Sera to the mall? Because the timing was suspicious…..anyway looking forward to the next update. Also I saw you posted “Ain’t Shit” by Doja Cat in reference to SN and I lmao’d bc I wanted to tell you how much I thought it related to your story when the album dropped but askbox was closed at the time 🤣 glad it found its way to you anyway!

someone said "he doesn't deserve shit" yes he does? 😭 from the beginning he, too, was put in a really tough situation and i thought everyone understood that. yeah, he messed up, he has been terrible and it's not that i don't think he shouldn't pay for that but really gojo's dad intentions on making gojo marry yn is not his fault like that does not affect them at all if he genuinely loves yn now. either way, he wouldn't have been able to do anything even if he didn't want to. i dont get why we're blaming everything on him. his only mistake was being with sera and hurting yn, the rest of the things happening around them and his family's wickedness is not his fault. anyways, yeah he deserves it i was just saying i feel bad because now nobody wants to give him a chance and listen to him when it's the MOST evident he's trying so far in the whole series.

Lol that boutique scene went like:

Sera: 😉

Toji: 😒

Toji: 😒

I gotta say I'm just glad that the mistress isn't living the life she thinks she deserved. Well done Naoya for making her seem more dumb than we all already know nyahaha. I still have faith that the main couple will eventually reconcile. Gojo better put up a fight on that divorce. Beg her if he will and prove himself no matter how long it takes him. (LIKE, PLEASE! DO THAT!) Suffer how Y/N suffered before (not exactly with the infidelity but ykwim?). Unlike Sovieshu, he still has the chance to fix things yk (like, both sides still need to agree before a divorce is finalized).

Y/N isn't originally cold-hearted so even if she claims that she's done with him, I knew deep inside she still wants to be with him. I trust that those two will get together, maybe not in this season but hopefully in the end they will 💜. Yes, bc despite everything I'm still rooting for Gojo x Y/N. I see him really trying so when Y/N mentioned wanting a divorce, I was 😨🥺🤧😵 for him, too. Am I an apologist? Yea, ig, 😅 not that it matters 🤷🏻‍♀️

Like literally, just talk to each other, you two! Discuss the things that's bothering you both! I often say this to my parents whenever they have disagreements because I am utterly annoyed whenever they accuse each other based only on "assumptions". Like, idc, if they think I'm siding with anyone, I'd still give the benefit of the doubt when no proof is provided and listen to both sides before making my own judgements 😠

Anyway, thank you for even giving us an update and answering asks despite your condition. You don't have to make this a regular thing because, really, it's a hobby and not a job ppl 😅 Nonetheless, I appreciate you taking time to cater to everyone despite the rude others. I cannot emphasize this enough but drink lots of water esp with 🌡 body temp! 🥺

—🤓, ya probably annoyed with me now, too, ehe 😅

Hey I hope you're doing much better and you're resting well ! I just want to say that the latest chapter of sn left me speechless, like for r e a l. I was was overjoyed to see that Sera was indeed not pregnant (thank the heavens ! ), but the number of times I had to put down my phone to take a minute with everything that happened... Oh boy, I just lost count :') When y/n said that she wanted a divorce in front of everyone my mouth was wide open hdhsjauffej. A part of me was like "Yes ! You go queen ! 👑💅🏻" but the other part was completely shattered because I was thinking that, if only y/n and Satoru communicated with each other better I think that things would be completely different and that eventually somewhere down the line things could've been better for them :( God I was hoping for somewhat of a good ending for those two but as the story progresses that hope is slowly dissipating :')

Why do I have a feeling that Sera is going to find out mc’s disease rather than Gojo, I just have a feeling he’ll be the last to know about their disease, and I also honestly feel bad for Gojo though, he finally decided to change his path way to have his own run way which is to change himself for Mc, however, it was blocked off when Mc had officially decided to divorce him— which I gotta say YOU GO MC YOU GO 😩😩‼️‼️‼️ LEAVE HIM

Honestly though, amazing mf chapter EVER. She honestly deserved to leave him especially the many things she had gone through because of him. ummm…Moving on, I know you’ve said that in the end Gojo will be the one suffering, so I’m going to guess that this is the start of it!!! I know Gojo was hurting the last few chapters BUTTT this is the official start to ME‼️ because it shows a lot of Gojo wanting to change and Mc breaking it up by saying she’s getting a divorce!! It’ll basically be the opposite of what happened from the start, Gojo is going to be the one Mc’s shoes from the very start of the marriage, however the only difference is that they are divorced.

ANYWAYSS I LOOK FORWARD WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT CHAPTER ‼️‼️

hey saint!! i hope you had a great day and that you feel better now. this chapter was AMAZING and i really wanted to comment on it

first of all, i hate sera. honestly i didn't know what could be worse than threatening gojo to kill herself, but this.... istg my heart shattered when i read what she did

this chapter really turned me into a gojo apologist and i really want yn x satoru to be endgame. at first i was all for yn x toji but it seems like he's more like a mentor to her (i still want her to have a taste of that dick tho, she deserves it after all she's been through)

i wanted to hug him when the ugly musty raggedy smelly bitch was hitting him, poor boy didn't need more trauma

also mc??? queen shit??? how she put sera in her place it was so embarrassing for her omfg

i really want to know where this divorce story is gonna go and i think i have an idea for the ending of s1 hehe

also naoya💀💀 "eula is like a mother to me"..................im gonna pretend i didnt see anything...........

but id like to thank him for making sera embarrass herself that way

id also like to talk about the parallel between shitra (sera) and shitla (eula) and how they were both dressed so extravagantly it wasn't even beautiful anymore, it really showed the lack of taste🙄 a musty bitch in a 4m dress stays a musty bitch, stop trying to be classy when you're just trashy

anyway. im really excited to see what's next and how the story will end!!

thank you for all the effort you put in your work, the chapter was a true masterpiece

saint pls this update hurt me more than i thought was possible (LMAO i feel like i say that every time i chime in w my thoughts) i rlly do love yn w all my heart and yeah realistically i would've told her to divorce him as soon as the mf honeymoon but tHis iS suPPosEd to bE a gOjo x REadeR???!!! i have so SO many mixed feelings as always. on one hand i'm rooting for yn and i'm so fkn glad she announced how she wants a divorce but on the other hand omfg this could be solved w some mf communication god i'm so pissed. i'm annoyed w gojo who isn't clear w his intents and emotions (and yes i'm still mad at the fact that him and his dad are using yn for business) but i'm also kinda upset that yn's not abt that confrontation life bc if she talked abt it before then the misunderstanding could have been avoided?? it still could've reached the same conclusion but idk man i think i just hoped that yn's badass bitch arc would mean calling gojo out on his bs :/// i get that she could've not wanted to bring up seeing gojo and s*ra at the hospital bc she herself is trying to hide her heart condition. plus tbh she has no reason being fully transparent around people who have done nothing but undermine and disrespect her. ultimately i rlly do see why she said it at the table. she's tried for so long to understand others and get a straight answer but she can only take so much bullshit and pain. but GOD i rlly do wish there could be a happy ending without the heavy angst tag staring me down >,<

omg also HA s*ra wearing a dress yn rejected for her wedding reception and toji not even looking at her for more than a minute had me fuckin WEAK i'm all for the s*ra slander and i truly hope she ends up working at mcd or smth. sometimes i don't understand cancel culture but istg it's #cancelsera2k21. if things ever clear up between yn and gojo, you know word will spread and she prob won't be able to get another corporate job

anyways thank you for another great update!! i hope you're feeling better and that you have a wonderful weekend! stay hydrated and stay safe!

much love, 😔

thank you sm saint, amazing chapter as always!! and i hope you’re feeling better, please don’t rush yourself and take all the time you need to write this series <3

my heart sank a little when gojo walked into the room in matching pj’s and innocently asked reader to watch movies with him, with no ill intentions :,) and when he was sending her text messages OMG i want them to be endgame so bad!!!! it’s looking inevitable rn BUT this is technically a gojo x reader fanfic, so my hopes remain somewhat high🙏

tbh they have some serious communication issues, i’m sure they could both improve their relationship if they both sit down with each other and get everything off their chests :/ hopefully in the upcoming chapters y/n will find out the truth about sera and gojo which she desperately needs to bring the relationship back. and i hope gojo will be okay... if i were him i wouldn’t be running out of the venue for y/n, but running from dadjo instead /j

and Y/N TO SERA AT THE END AAAAAAA I WANTED TO SCREAM LIKE YESSSSSSSS GIRL YOU TELL HER!!!!!!! i really thought naoya was going to use sera to secretly ruin gojo/reader’s relationship but i was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn’t the case. a chapter dedicated to y/n just roasting the shit out of sera would be graciously accepted by me hehehehe jk... unless😳 i have no shame

again saint get all the rest you need and stay hydrated! i look forward to the next chapter💕

SOMETIMES I HATE DRAMATIC IRONY SO KUCH, LIKE IT HURTS KNOWING WE KNOW SERA ISNT PREGNANT AND THAT YN WONT BRING IT UP. AND LIKE YOU CANT EVEN BE MAD AT HER AFTER SO MUCH MENTAL TORMENT BUT YOU ALSO CANT HELP BUT WANNA YELL AT HER TO JUST BRING IT UP SO HE CAN EXPLAIN HIMSELF EVEN IF HE DOESNT DESERVE HER TIME.

anyways i feel bad for satoru, he’s about to fall from grace and because of that, it’s going to affect his company and his family. i have a feeling he’s going to be cut off from the family entirely if the merger doesn’t go through, and he’s probably going to be very badly beaten by the end of this by his father. this relationship lacks so much communication and that’s kind of both of their faults. obviously yn doesn’t have to give him any time of day after how much he’s hurt her emotionally (and now physically with the angina) however if this miscommunication is causing her even more pain then i’d set my pride and resolve aside for a second just to hear if what he says is what i’ve slowly learnt to believe. if that makes sense??

idk i really want him to be able to redeem himself and we know yn is forgiving but it feels like such a lost cause at this point. also sera is so fucking insufferable shut the fuck up you self absorbed walking pity party. “you’re so mean” OH BUT YOU HAD NO PROBLEM TALKING SHIT ABOUT YN WITH HIM, GOD FORBID HE INSULTS YOUR CLOTHES WOW. dumb bitch, hope everyone laughed at her for wearing yn’s rejected dress, also ty naoya for setting her up for embarrassment, i hate you but you go king 😩

- anti self absorbed walking pity party anon (i don’t think i’m gonna be a regular anon but signing off just felt right after this rant).

I things I have to say:

1. SHE'S NOT PREGNANT (for now I think)

2. Aaahhh my poor cheating Gojo, but it's what you deserve for not telling her the truth from the start of the week.

3. MC possibly pregnant since she didn't really eat anything else but those cookie (???) And the amount of times she was nauseated in the chapter.

4. I wrote this earlier today btw

I couldn't find the video but the ask about whether or not y/n would love Sera's baby reminded of this tiktok about mom's who didn't receive affection as a child forcing themselves to love their babies and then feeling empty and tired afterwards from pretending

I think that's what y/n would do, possibly even with her own children, because of everything Sera and Gojo put her through. She'd force herself to show love and affection towards the children, but by the end of the day when she climbs into bed with Gojo she's just...numb and won't show him the same love and affection she does the children.

Also think this is what you mean she isn't necessarily the same person in SN2. I feel she'll loose part of her memories, but retain her personality, feelings numb and distant towards Gojo but now it's towards everyone, after whatever makes her lose her memory.

You deserve a week off after this chapter, kinda like a mid season finale so I hope you take one cause you've earned it.

thank u for sending these 😭 i actually still have lots but i rly do not have the energy anymore hhhhhh :< but i have been reading them all day !! so sorry if ur questions didn’t get a response

[seoafin]

do you know what i think is interesting? the relationship between yuuji and megumis dads and them.

toji basically dipped when megumis mother died from what we assume (at least until the character book comes out and we see what it says). he loved megumis mother more than him

jin stayed with his wife (albeit dead and possessed) so he could have a child. he wanted and loved having yuuji... more than letting his wife be put to rest

there are a lot of stark contrasts between yuuji and megumi—dark and light, quiet and loud, introvert and extrovert... and i think this is another one

i also think that the quote “some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them” reflects really well with megumi, nobara, and yuuji

megumi was born great, with inheriting the 10 shadows technique, which is something so valuable that the zen’in clan was willing to buy him

nobara achieved greatness, she moved out to the city and proved herself, enough to become recommended to be a 1st grade

yuuji had greatness thrust upon him, when he swallowed the finger of sukuna in a desperate attempt to save megumi

typing this, i also noticed how the same can apply to the second years

inumaki was born great, inheriting his clans technique

maki achieved greatness, shoving past the zen’in clan who looked down at her in disgust enough to be on a superior level to most sorcerers—even with them desperately try to holding her back

yuuta had greatness thrust upon him when he cursed rika. it was completely unintentional and he lived with her “haunting” him until he learned to unravel the curse and release her

i just think it’s really interesting (also sorry panda, there were only three parts of the quote)

I’ve always been a sucker for the completely ordinary protagonist trope, where the mc usually starts with zero skills compared to the rest of his peers, and I think yuji fits this mold. and even better, even though megumi fits the “prodigious child” mold, the two of them aren’t in direct opposition to each other. they aren’t rivals!! i’ve already said that i love the fact that megumi and yuji aren’t competing against each other, but growing together as friends that bring out the best in each other!!!

although I’d be careful about saying toji cared for megumi’s mother than megumi, because I still think that’s tbd. I think he loved both of them, but megumi’s mother death was a direct blow to him, and I think he lost sight of himself following her death.

Anime I Watched in Quarantine

With some of the restrictions being lifted, I wanted to make a sort of master post to see just how much I’ve watched in my time off. Plus, I wanted to share something more lighthearted with everyone.

All of these anime will be rated on a 1-10 scale, 10 meaning masterpiece, 1 meaning complete garbage. I’ll also share what I liked/didn’t like about each show. This list will go in chronological order, and will encompass all anime from 3/13 - 6/13. Multiple Seasons will be grouped together. 

1. Beastars - 8/10 

I dig how human and down-to-earth Beastars is. The pacing was a nice and the animation was unexpectedly great! It’s driving force is its characters and their interactions. Felt a little slow at times, and Juno annoys me, but that’s okay. I’ll be watching season 2.

2. Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun - 8/10 

Oh my god! This visuals for this were absolutely wonderful! It did feel a little cliche at times, I won’t lie. But, I still loved all of these characters and the nice balance between creepy and comedy. 

3. Ao No Exorcist - 6/10 

I posted about this one after I finished it. The ending really pissed me off. I feel like if I had watched this when I was 13, I would’ve given it a higher score. Compared to some of the other shounen I’ve watched, this felt a bit basic. That doesn’t mean I still didn’t like it. Still have to get around to watching season 2...

4.  Kaichou wa Maid-sama! 6.5/10

Shoujo usually isn’t my cup of tea. Maid-sama was a nice way to ease into the cliches of shoujo. Misaki is a great protagonist and the ending Maid-sama was so satisfying. I’m only giving it a low score because of its slow pacing and lack of certain character development. 

5.  Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eien to Jidou Shuki Ningyou  - 7/10

I’m a big Violet Evergarden fan to begin with, so of course I liked this movie. It did not resonate with me as much as the series itself, but I still enjoyed it. Kyoto animation is never disappointing in their visuals and sound design 

6.  Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! - 8/10 

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren - 6.5/10 

Chuunibyou was a breath of fresh air for me. It was so different from all other romance anime I had seen at the time. It for sure has a slice of life vibe to it, but it was still so good! It reminded me of being in middle school and my “chuunibyou” phase. The second season was not as enjoyable as the first. I guess I just had higher expectations for Rikka and Yuuta. 

7. Dr. Stone - 7/10

Dr. Stone is honestly such a perfect shounen for me. I’m a science nerd, and with taking AP Chem this year it was kind of nice to sorta apply my knowledge. This show also has some of the best reaction images ever. The tone, however, is a little inconsistent which made it hard to keep watching. I do love the relationship between Senku and his Dad, that whole sub-plot was so endearing.

8. Oshiete! Galko-chan - 6/10

This one only gets a low score because its so short and the op takes up like half an episode. This show had been in the back of my mind for a while. I decided to watch it after seeing a video essay discussing it. Its masterful subversion of tropes and stereotypes was refreshing. The message of this show is so positive, and everyone can benefit from watching something like this.  

9. Mairimashita Iruma-kun  - 5/10 

The second half of Mairimashita Iruma-kun was so much better. I’m not completely sure why I didn’t like this as much as I should have. Overall, its a really average show. The comedy (and musical numbers???) give this show and charismatic and chaotic vibe. I’m someone who focuses primarily on character-character interactions, and this show definitely had it. It isn’t monogatari levels of dialogue but it’s still nice. For the studio’s low budget, they were able to make a really bright and colorful show. I’ll be watching season 2.  

10. Byousoku 5 Centimeter - 8/10

Very. VERY. Pretty!! This one was another one that didn’t completely resonate with me emotionally. I still loved the story and the way it was told. Its not like Your Name or Tenki no Ko, it’s realistic and grounded.

11. Mob Psycho 100 - 8/10

Mob Psycho 100 II - 9/10 

Style alone made Mob Psycho 100 so impressive. By the second half of each season I was emotional invested in Mob and his whole journey. Season 2 is receiving a higher score because it was able to make me cry. That’s something I NEVER expected. I’m mad I didn’t watch this sooner. It is a great balance of action, comedy, and heart. 

12. Noragami Aragoto - 8/10 

Not sure why I put off Norogami’s second season for so long. I absolutely loved it. The focus on Bishimon was a nice change of pace and it was great to see Yukine develop more as a character and begin to loose his arrogance. Kazuma was my favorite character in all of this. His ability to affect the people around him was presented nicely. I was emotionally invested the whole way through, and I’ll probably pick up the manga. 

13. Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji - 3/10

Ah yes. My least favorite thing on planet earth. This is a wonderful example of Shoujo at its worst. Their relationship was incredibly toxic, and the characters themselves were poorly developed and generic. The whole time all I could think was that I was watching normalized Stockholm Syndrome. Our MC deserves so much better. 

14. Youjo Senki - 6/10

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting to like Youjo Senki as much as I did. I’m not usually one for iesekai. The action was great, but the use of CGI bogged down scenes. I do NOT really like the protagonist that much because she came across as apathetic. Towards the end, I started to like her more. This was also my first military/warfare-focused anime. If either a movie or second season is made, I will probably not watch it. 

15. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - 6.5/10

I wanted to like Madoka Magica more than I did. I really did. The style was compelling and the story was interesting. Especially in the beginning, a lot of the death and sad stuff didn’t feel all that sad. The last 4 episodes are a solid 8/10, I love time shenanigans. The emotions and character development really shined through in the end. Madoka is such an inherently kind-hearted person, I love her so much! 

16. Yakusoku no Neverland - 8.5/10 

I was expecting Yakusoku no Neverland to be more graphic, but I’m kind of glad it didn’t go that route. Like Madoka, the last four episodes had me really invested. However, the character development was not as rushed. It’s a smart show and welcomed change of pace. Emma is my favorite character and you bet I’ll be watching season 2. The more I think about this show, the more I appreciate it. 

17. Mo Dao Zu Shi - 9/10

Mo Dao Zu Shi 2nd Season - 8/10 

I know that is is technically a donghua, but I’m counting it as an anime because its on MAL. Amazing visuals and an incredibly layered story.  Censorship makes it difficult to fully appreciate this work and its original novel. Even though I was confused for the first 2 episodes, Mo Dao Zu Shi did a great job of developing the time period and character relationships. The second season wasn’t as satisfying as the first but still great! I don’t think I’ll be watching the live action anytime soon, but I believe that a 3rd season is confirmed for 2020.

18. Banana Fish - 8.5/10

I knew nothing about Banana Fish going into it. Although I didn’t cry at the ending, it definitely made me feel some type of way. Kind of... numb. Banana Fish is painfully realistic. So much so that I had to take a break after episode 15 because I felt sick to my stomach. I also praise Banana Fish for it’s healthy, non-fetishized relationship representation. Eiji and Ash have such a complex but healthy relationship. I hope Banana Fish is able to pave the way for better representation in media. 

19. Promare - 5/10 

Why do people praise Promare so much? I hated how predictable it was. The whole movie felt like a 2 hour animation flex for Trigger. The only character in this movie that didn’t manage to piss me off it some way was Lio. The only other thing I’ve seen by studio Trigger is Kill la Kill, so compared to that, this felt like such a step down. :( I was disappointed. 

20. Given - 6/10

Given made me both sad and made me want to start a band. Overall the animation is nothing special, I do like the reactions that some of the characters had. Especially that “It’s Mutual” gif set. I couldn’t get over how much Ritsuka looks like Kageyama. My only complaint was how rushed Mafuyu and Ritsuka’s relationship felt. More time should have been dedicated to Mafuyu dealing with and moving past the loss in his life. All that said, I’m still watching the movie.

21. Enen no Shouboutai - 5/10 

Generic Shounen, bad ending, great animation. Need I say more? I did not watch Soul Eater (made by same creator), but this was enjoyable. Really cool fights, not so cool character development. A lot of the explanations towards the end felt like complete bull shit. Same energy as using fancy sounding science words to explain things. 

22. Hataraku Maou-Sama - 5.5/10

This is another show I felt I would’ve liked more if I watched it when I was younger. The iesekai trope is so beaten down that classics like this don’t really carry as much weight as they originally did. A 24 episode season with more Slice of Life episodes would’ve benefited this series greatly.

23. BNA - 7/10

BNA, in my opinion, was so much better than Promare. Like Hataraku Maou-sama, BNA would’ve benefited from a longer season with more Slice of Life Episodes. Trigger’s newer animation is beautiful and I really hope BNA gets renewed for a second season. The ending was cliche as hell, but still really enjoyed this show!

24. Devilman: Crybaby - 7/10 

A.K.A. The one show I’ve got to watch when I know I’m alone. The use of multiple languages besides Japanese in the sub was a unique take. The animation was also a little jarring at first, but I came to love it. The themes in this are not the most positive. The end left me feeling numb, but also appreciative. Ryo pissed me off as soon as he tried to kill that cat, so it was hard to sympathize with him in the very end. It is a really good show, but also sickening, Watch at your own discretion.  

[autumn-foxfire]

Alright but i really do love Yuji vs Yuuta rn from like a narrative perspective like rn Yuuta is playing an antagonist role (even tho everyone who read v0 will never fully see him as an antagonist cuz thats our boyy) but if you flipped the sittuation on the other side hes a protagonist and Yuji is the antagonist in relativly standard shonen plot.

Like MC has to go fight a powerful opponent who not only killed a lot of people but severly hurt one of MCs friends so of course MC wants to fight to avenge said friend. This antagonist is attached to a civillain but at this point its honestls better and more merciful for the civillain to die. MCs teacher trusted and helped the civillain but paid dearly for it so obviously they made a tragically bad choice and MC now has to go to battle with an opponent thats not only terrifyingly powerful but also has their teachers lessons at disposal.

You can totally see how Yuuta is in the right from his perspective (tho id say he is more revenge driven then typical mc would be) and hes only the antagonist rn cuz we are watching everything from Yujis pov. Gege set out to make a story where nobody is 100% in the right and boy did he manage this is so good

!!! Holy shit, Lucy, I didn’t even notice but damn does this put Yuuta’s actions into a new perspective.

What’s the saying? We’re all the heroes of our own story? And JJK is so good at showing that with their characters. Look at Geto even! He wanted to create a world without curses which is an admirable goal when you think about it until you realise how he planned to create it! But in his own story he was just trying to save the world from themselves (and for Gojo).

I actually love how Gege has made his two protagonists fight against each other, it truly shows us how grey of an anime that it is and how morals really does depend on the person rather then something that is universal (JJK is everything BNHA fandom wanted BNHA to be, right down to respecting the female characters T-T).

[naruseii]

Myu review 6: 1997 Sailor Stars Kaiteiban (Easter special!) . . First impression: Extremely curious as to how they decided to revise this! Since the first Stars was kinda messy, I was hoping the story would be changed up a bit. • • •

Impressions: Actors/Actresses

Anza Ooyama (Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon/Neo Queen Serenity)- My gosh, I LOVED ANZA SO MUCH IN THIS MYU. She pulled off such an amazing Usagi AND Sailor Moon!! She also improved so much from last time; making her Usagi/Moon less dramatic. The way Anza portrays Usagi can vary for people but I honestly think she was soooo into character for this Myu. She really showed off Usagi/Moon’s tragic/serious side extremely well and just as good as her silly side. She was perfect for all aspects (singing, dancing, acting) and I can’t wait to see her performance in Eien!! 💕

Ayako Morino (Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury)- I think I liked Ayako here better than the original Stars! Unlike the before, she got to play Mercury (or had more to do as her) more than she played Ami and I still love her Mercury! I still don’t like the “boy crazy” aspect of Ami but, what can you do. I do think she sounded great in most of her songs but her voice was just a bit off in Sorezore no Elegy. She still dances pretty well and overall I think she did great!

Misako Kotani (Rei Hino/Sailor Mars)- I’m really loving Misako now!! She seems to have improved a lot even on the little things which makes her Rei more lovable! Her Rei and Mars resemble her anime counterpart and I noticed that during the trial scene. I loved her chemistry Hiroko and with her other cast mates as well! Misako was great!! ❤️

Emika Satou (Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter)- Again, Emika played a very minor role but I still found her to be really enjoyable!! Though there’s not much to see, her Makoto was really good! Her Jupiter was barely present so I won’t talk about that. She has a very nice Mako sounding voice and she’s great at singing as well! She’s a good dancer and a great actress and I enjoyed her performances for both the Stars Myus!! I wish she stayed longer 💔.

Kanatsu Nakaya (Minako Aino/Sailor Venus)- Just like Emika, Kanatsu played a minor role but that didn’t stop me from enjoying her performance! Her Minako felt more like Minako in the sense that she has more energy & quirkiness in her which is a big improvement from last time! And there’s not much from her Venus as well but, overall she was really good in all aspects! 💛

Yuuta Mochizuki (Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask)- Yuuta barely had a role as his actual character but his overall performance was great! I loved his duet/interactions with Anza be it as Moon/Usagi and Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru or Kin-san and the “Rat Boy”. His role in the Edo period scene was so good and so funny as well!! I’m so glad they gave him more to do for this Myu because he’s so fun to watch!!

Sanae Kimura (Haruka Tenoh/Sailor Uranus)- Sanae definitely improved a lot since her past performance! She had more emotion (especially during Neptune’s death) and she seemed really into her role!! I can agree that her Haruka isn’t much but I think her Uranus is passable! So far, this is where I think Sanae was at her best for this role but I’m looking forward to her next performances!!

Hiroko Tahara (Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune)- I love Hiroko oh my gosh. I love how strong and mature her Neptune is. She barely got to play Michiru but, her Michiru was so poised and even funny at times. She really reminds me of anime Michiru/Neptune (but more on Nep). I love her voice and the way that she dances and I love how she knows when to be reserved and when to be dead serious. I don’t really care much for Neptune but Hiroko makes me like her a lot!

Rei Saitou (Setsuna Meioh/Sailor Pluto)- I looove Rei!! I love how funny and motherly her Setsuna is and I love the seriousness of her Pluto. I especially loved the way she acted during the Edo period scene! Rei really knows how to make Setsuna and Pluto seem like two separate beings and how she expresses her emotions which are what I love about her acting ability! Singing and dancing, they’re all still amazing!! Super love Rei!!

Keiko Takeda (Hotaru Tomoe/Sailor Saturn)- I loved Keiko but I feel like she had less of a role here (probably due to the revised story line). Her Hotaru seemed better here though! I loved her little bonding moments with Mao and it really seemed like she was a kid unlike last time. Her Saturn was also really good! It reminded me of manga Saturn at the ending of the Dream Arc. She still has a nice voice and her movement/dancing has gotten better! Overall, she performed really well!

Mao Kawasaki (Chibiusa/Sailor Chibi Moon)- I kinda liked Mao in this Myu!! She’s very different from Tamaki which makes their Chibiusas unique. I do think that Mao has a kiddie feel to her Chibiusa while Tamaki has more maturity but regardless, Mao pulled off her character well!! She still sings and dances nicely and although she can seem “out of it” in her acting at times, I still liked her Chibiusa nonetheless!

Sayuri Katayama (Seiya Kou/Sailor Star Fighter)- I’m so in love with Sayuri’s Seiya and Sayuri as Seiya. She really gives life to Seiya and she embodies her so well, it’s like she actually is Seiya. Her presence looks so warm and friendly and that’s what I liked most about her in her performance. Her Star Fighter was really good as well!! Singing, dancing, it’s all perfect. Much love for Sayuri!! 💙

Hikari Ono (Taiki Kou/Sailor Star Maker)- (I’m gonna try my best to not make this sound super biased) Taiki isn’t that much of an interesting character in general but Hikari gives her that aspect. She gives Taiki the qualities she lacks (or basically, she brings the character to life) which I really liked! Not much to her Star Maker but she was definitely more serious. Her singing and dancing’s still great and I’m really loving Hikari in this role! 💜

Momoko Okuyama (Yaten Kou/Sailor Star Healer)- I love Momoko’s Yaten so much :(( . She makes her so fun/quirky and a bit of an airhead which is different from how Yaten’s usually portrayed! Her Star Healer was the more serious one and she pulled her off well! She still sings and dances well (and is cute while doing so)!! Looove Momoko!! 💚

Saori Sara (Sailor Galaxia)- I think Saori pulled off Galaxia really well here! Her Galaxia had more power and more emotion than last time. She has a powerful singing voice and I love the way she moves/dances. She had such a big improvement from last time and I really loved her performance! 💛

Shadow Galatica (as a whole)- I think Shadow Galactica was better here!! They were kinda all over the place before but here, they seem fully fleshed out. In place of Shadow Bee, Bug and Mantis were Sailor Theta, Chi and Phi and they were really good dancers! The Animamates were really good as well although, I prefer Rei over Junko for Pewter Fox. Ryuji was great as always and…we don’t speak about Sailor Buttress… . . . The story:

Act 1: This part was almost the same as the original. There were a few changes to the events like how the characters spoke to each other, how they felt during some scenes and much more minor things. One noticeable change (in terms of songs) was in Sailor Busters wherein Makoto and Minako’s “solos” were removed. This act ended the same way as before which is with the Sailor War Supreme number (which I still love)!

Act 2: There were quite a lot of changes in this act! During the music festival, MC Fly has his monologue and it goes straight into Knockin’ Down Hesitation; completely removing Usagi’s nervous “breakdown” and Chibiusa and Hotaru’s audience participation. Mamoru also makes his early and very subtle appearance after It’s Chou Very Bad. The Edo Period scene has completely changed but I’ll leave that up to you to watch ;) ! And the very surprising addition to the labyrinth scene was Princess Kakyuu (although she didn’t say anything)!!

The rest of the scenes were played out the same way as Nehelenia’s trials from the Stars anime! Neptune, Jupiter and Venus are the only ones who pass meaning Uranus was spared and was a part of Sorezore no Elegy! Everything else is the same throughout until the battle scene with all 10 soldiers and the Starlights together, they sing Solar Miracle Make Up instead of La Moon. Galaxia actually dies in this version but, Sailor Moon gives her a second chance at life and Galaxia is reborn elsewhere. And finally, L'Amour D'Amour Moonlight was the closing song instead of Usagi Circus Show Time. • • • Overall opinion: I’m really happy with how they revised Stars! I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen the original Stars Myu but this version was much easier to follow!! So far, this is my most favorite Myu of the First Stage but, let’s see if Eien Densetsu and it’s Kaiteiban will change that ;) . . . AAAAAA I’M SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!! Also sorry this review is really long in general, it’s been a while since my last one. Anyways, this wasn’t meant to be an Easter special but life gets complicated sometimes. As I mentioned before, I watch Myu on my phone now and it’s really difficult!! So I’m really trying my best with these. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this review and feel free to share your thoughts!
