#gosh I just love him so much

[alonelystargazer]

Some time has passed now, which has allowed me to reflect on my thoughts about Choso's death and I wanna share them (of course, this is just MY opinion, you don't need to agree with me)

Chapter 259 spoilers ahead

I fell SO fast and hard for Choso as a character. I haven't even known him for a full year. To be honest, I don't think I would be as obsessed with JJK as I am now if it weren't for him (and Nanami). I was just a casual fan when I first watched the anime in 2021, and have been until I finally decided to read the manga. Choso struck me to my core and to me, he is on par, or perhaps even a step above Nanami, as my favorite character of the series.

I LOVE HIM WITH MY WHOLE HEART. I was utterly devastated when he died, and I shared my grief over a fictional character with other fans online. I didn't feel alone.

I wish he was still around for Yuji, I wish he had more time to "live as a human", but I've made my peace with him being gone.

I don't really remember what things I said that week Chapter 259 dropped. I may have let my emotions blind me and say some dumb things, but some time has passed now and it has allowed me to think more objectively about this situation.

I'm not trying to debate whether I believe JJK is a masterpiece of fiction or not with this post, but I will say that if Choso had to die, the way it happened in canon was as meaningful as it could have been.

He fought to the very last second of his life to protect his brother. Before he passed, he got to have one last conversation with Yuji in their little dream world where he praised him for his progress as a sorcerer, and apologized for, what he believes, were his own faults and setbacks.

But Choso also got to hear Yuji call him big brother , the one thing he wanted from him the moment he accepted him as his younger brother. And he thanked Yuji for giving him that gift, for letting him be a big brother again.

He may have felt useless as teacher, which means he probably died believing he didn't fulfill his role as the big brother properly, but Yuji believed in him so much and thanked him for being by his side when he needed support in his most dire moments.

After all the death and destruction Yuji faced in Shibuya, Choso stepped in and provided him with companionship, encouragement, loyalty, and love, everything Yuji probably thought he lost back then. And he made sure to let Choso know that he appreciated having him by his side and for everything he did for him.

I understand the reasons why some Choso fans don't agree that he should have died, or at least, how his death was handled.

He deserved to live and be his own person outside of the role of protective older brother. He deserved to live as a human--find hobbies, explore the world, try new foods, make new friends, etc--just as Yuki wanted for him. Her sacrifice shouldn't have been in vain. That he was doomed to die for his decision to prioritize his brothers above himself. Love is the most twisted curse of all, of course.

Also, that it seemed like his death was overshadowed when Todo was reintroduced, Yuji's "real brother" as some Todo fans have said.

Yeah, in a sense, it did seem like Todo's return overshadowed Choso. Why was this the moment he decided to come back? There was no hint of him coming back, no build up to his return, at least none that I can think of.

But also, what was Yuji supposed to do after he saw Choso turn to ashes? By now, he knows that if he let the time pass to grieve and blame himself, like he did in Shibuya, Sukuna could have used that as an opportunity to sneak up on him and take him out.

And maybe it didn't seem like his death served any purpose for the others, but it helped Yuji , and Yuji was the most important person in Choso's life after his other brothers died.

And in defense of Todo, he's not replacing Choso and his role as Yuji's brother. Todo calls himself Yuji's "brother" in the close friend type of way. He's still apart of Yuji's found family and support group, a friend that encouraged him to get back up and continue fighting in the moments after he witnessed his loved ones die. Yeah, it's unfair that no one is allowed to grieve, but that isn't a luxury they can afford to have when they're in the battlefield.

I'm sure that if Choso and Todo ever met, Choso would be grateful for him for supporting Yuji and helping him improve his sorcery in ways Choso probably couldn't. As in his words, blood manipulation comes instinctively to him.

In this cruel world of jujutsu where giving up your humanity, turning yourself into a monster, gives someone the chance of becoming powerful, Choso choose to keep his humanity, to choose love, but in turn, it cursed him.

But that's just who Choso is, he lived for his brothers. Despite the way they came into the world, Choso always choose to love his brothers, unconditionally, to the very end.

TL;DR: I can't say if Choso's death was "necessary", but I do believe that if he had to die in this story, the way it actually happened was perhaps the best possible scenario for him.

He may have died with regrets, but he was still able to help his brother Yuji one last time by protecting him from Sukuna's flames. And he got the greatest gift: a second chance at being a big brother, and to hear those words of gratitude in his final moments.

falling for all the loser in love characters in a show/book that try to come off as cool and indifferent is so fun cuz their future partner be doing weird shit and embarrassing themselves and you'll be silently screaming and hiding your face cuz of the second hand embarrassment but then you realize this fool with heart eyes is definitely squealing like they got a high school crush and hypothetically kicking their legs and punching the air over that and that helps you calm down

I know it's not that fairy tale book you wanted, but this is better.

I actually really want Eugene to officiate the Varigo wedding because one, it’s not a very official or proper wedding. If anything, it’s something Rapunzel and Varian put together in one week and is essentially just a giant party where they blow stuff up and eat cake. Varian totally asks Eugene thirty minutes beforehand if he will officiate and after five minutes of sobbing, he agrees.

And two, because I want him to say this line-

“It has been a joy to watch your distracting childish rivalry turn into a distracting childish courtship, which will undoubtedly turn into a distracting childish marriage.”

Babey Zandy not knowing fragile reader is so precious.

He hears all about this mysterious person that all of his older versions adore, but he has no clue what they are going on about. He tends to avoid the mystery person's room to avoid tripping on something, so he's never seen them. He's never heard their voice. What's so great about some sleeping grown up?

But then he sees them. The one time he's allowed to go into the room, he's instantly starstruck. He's reminded of the fairytale he'd read about a royal that was cursed to sleep for a thousand years, and he figures that this person was what that royal must have looked like.

A few of the segments chuckle at the reaction the child has. Wide eyes, slack jaw, it's cute. But then Zandy turns and asks,

"This is who we marry when we grow up? Did we finally do something good?"

The segments collectively think that no, they hadn't done anything good. Not enough to deserve their lover, anyway. But the sleeping beauty still chose to love them. That was more than enough for the blue haired maniacs.

MY HEART BRO... MY HEART. THIS IS SO PERFECT. AMAZING. CUTE. I LOVE IT SM.

Little Zandy tends to be left out of the loop quite often. It's due to various reasons - the older segments not wanting to have to deal with him, or having to take the time to explain, or perhaps the topic matter isn't very kid-friendly (considering the kind of work they do). So, the little one is used to finding out things after the fact, unfortunately. You happen to be one of these topics.

What really interests Zandy is how the segments say your name. The boy is used to hearing them speak about others in contempt (that damn Regrator, wicked Damslette) or with no regard/care at all (test subjects) but you? You don't get either of those. Rather, you get your name spoken with affection. Like how his parents spoke to each other (only that he wasn't afforded that same treatment). So naturally he's intrigued, but confused. You've been sleeping for so long! How could someone who's sleeping be interesting? You can't even talk! But it seems that the segments don't mind, although they are quite sad, they're willing to wait, which is strange. And Prime is willing to talk enough for the two of you. Zandy hears him from the room sometimes. Still, the boy fails to understand what sort of appeal you have. But he is a curious one, so he begs and begs to be able to see you. And when he does, well, everything makes sense.

You're just so pretty! Right of out a fairytale! He can't help but run up to you and hold your hand, in awe. And though normally the segments would scold him for "getting in their way" but they don't this time. Because even though the brat can be annoying his reaction is rather amusing. And they don't want to raise their voices in your presence.

I imagine, when you do finally wake up, he begs for you to read that story for him 😭💗 he definitely reads the voice for the prince that saves the sleeping royal (you) and beats up the bad guys (celestia) 🥺

THEM BEING THANKFUL FOR YOU LOVING THEM... sobs

Gotta love when folks write Superman incredibly anti-clone even though he had good reason in the beginning to Not Like Superboy (HES A WINDOW INTO WHAT CLARK WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE KENTS) and decide that forever on he’ll be spiteful towards clones even though he literally Does Not Care if you’re a clone unless you’re Superboy.

I didn’t mean to wake you, honey. I was trying to be quiet, sorry. You didn’t wake me. Memories woke me. Well, I hope they were good ones. Good ones don’t wake people up, I think they do the opposite.
