#it’s about yuta and yuji and todo and choso and nobara and megumi and hakari

[bxriles]

I will eventually have a full rant, but this one is just off the cuff. I would like to say that I know jjk is a tragedy and I know (and love) that it doesn’t follow traditional Shonen manga. I am aware of all of this.

But Gege. My brother in christ. I really am not following the narrative decisions being made here…. And I haven’t since the start of the culling games.

Why is the story framed as the younger generation being “better” than the older generation and breaking generational cycles and changing the status quo if this is what we’re doing to the younger generation?

And yes, yes. Before people start freaking out, I do understand that this is a tragedy. I’m just not sure how we got to this level of tragedy when the story was not framed that way. (My full rant will be coming with receipts supporting that btw.)

I mean jfc, seeing those 261 leaks made me feel like I was reading Steven Erickson’s Deadhouse Gates again in terms of sheer bleakness and brutality. The only difference is that it worked in Deadhouse Gates because the story was always framed to be that tragic and brutal and I would argue that Jujutsu Kaisen has had VERY DIFFERENT framing since the beginning.
