I've said it before I'll say it again

I'm not mad gojo died

I'm mad at the way it was handled since it's super obvious gege let his hate for the character influence the outcome

Doesn't help his heian OC favored child hasn't topped any popularity polls and he's systematically gotten rid of every single more popular character so it looks even worse

Agreed. Hell, I have no issue with Gojo dying as long as it actually was a good end to Gojo's Character Arc... and it wasn't.
You, Blade, Derpmaster, alot of Gojo's fans have said the same shit and it is genuinely true:
Gege could not let his butthurt of Gojo go when it was critical and now Gojo and Kashimo are dead extremely anti-climatically for virtually nothing.
Hell, like you stated(or someone else), I FULLY expect the Lawyer to be killed through some absolute bullshit just to really rub it in.

EDIT: Before anyone says anything else, yes I do know what TRULY killed Gojo was basically Gege deciding against all nonsense to completely kill off everything Gojo has ever did and learned to pretend he was always the same person he was in Chapter 0 despite how bullshit that is.
That's pure character assassination on the level of Neji Hyuuga's sacrifice being likened to freeing himself from the Hyuuga Curse like his daddy did to be the good end of his arc.

Going back to what was said about the Gojo and Sukuna shit earlier, it amazes me that Gege, in his hate towards Gojo, never realized that, given he and Gojo are the peak of the verse and are above everyone else, he literally could've easily wrote them both to be capable of doing shit that nobody else can, outside of multiple domain expansions? Did it never occur to him that he could've demonstrated Sukuna to be capable of beating Gojo from the very beginning, on his own, if he just thought about it more?

Like, an example I could think of off the top of my head, what if the very first attack Sukuna threw Gojo's way, just looked like a regular ass attack at first, no domain amplification or anything like that, which leaves Gojo confused, but still ready to counter, like he always does, with Infinity. His Six Eyes then warn him at the last second, when it's too late to dodge, what Sukuna is doing, whether it be a punch or kick to the face or gut, that the dude is making use of the most basic ass manipulation of cursed energy, that anyone could do, but is pushing it to such an extreme, with how he concentrates a solid amount of it, that space-time literally begins to warp and spasm all around it, so that when it touches Gojo's Infinity, it disrupts space, and thus the technique itself, causing it to fail, and for his attack to go right through and smash Gojo in retaliation for the 200% Hollow Purple that I believe Gojo started the fight with.(might be misremembering that, somebody correct me if I'm wrong).

All you'd have to do then, is have Sukuna refer to that as something 'simple' that he needed, whilst Gojo is stunned, as his Six Eyes basically inform him of what Sukuna had to do for that to happen, which is not something that any other sorcerer would be remotely capable of(outside of maybe himself, of course). After that, just imply that such a 'simple' thing for Sukuna, could also be applied to his Cleave and Dismantle, causing them to literally become spatial cuts, if he wanted to, and is something he could've done to Gojo to end him from the very beginning.

Why does he not just do that then, you may ask? Because, as his character has been stated and shown to think about himself, only HIS pleasure and displeasure matter, and the nigga simply wanted to face off against Gojo and see what the 'strongest' of the modern era could do at his best, with all his abilities, to entertain him. THAT's the only reason the fight lasts as long as it does(he doesn't use Maho or any of the shikigami in this version. He only stole Megumi's body to get out of Yuji's, and because he liked the Ten Shadows tech and simply wanted it for himself, even if he'll prob never use it. :mjlol ) This is the actual realization Gojo comes to, when he's in the afterlife, and is what he talks about instead of what we got. Would be a lot more understandable then, and not make Gojo look like he suffered brain damage due to Gege's awful writing, when he starts hyping up Sukuna.:kobeha
 
That's honestly the best way you could have done it. Want to have Sukuna be more powerful/skillful/etc, than Gojo so that scene doesn't come off as bad? Have Sukuna himself effortlessly find a way to bypass Infinity and even bring up how childishly weak it is. Have him slowly dissect and destroy every bit of Gojo's abilities, even Unlimited Void meanwhile still being... Sukuna while Gojo pulls out everything and the kitchen sink and even make some whole ass new moves on the spur of the moment that even catches Sukuna offguard once or twice. Neither will be enough to win the battle but prove there is genuine merit in Gojo being the strongest of his era.

THEN you have Gojo lose ONSCREEN with actual good reason for it.

"Oh, but how would Yuji or anybody else beat Sukuna then!?" To anyone who asks a variant of this, while Sukuna is indeed basically walking Gojo down in this scenario, for his own entertainment, he does still ultimately take damage that he can't heal from, for his decision(he would be able to, if he was given time, but he's not going to be given that, so it doesn't matter). Same thing then happens with Kashimo, who ISN'T a full-on scrub like Gege made him, by getting one-chap killed by Sukuna. Sukuna lets him pop off, for his own entertainment, taking more damage(not as much as with Gojo, though) before putting an end to Kashimo.

By the time Yuji shows up, with whatever he has, Sukuna, even in his true form, is basically injured and weakened to where it's possible for Yuji to take him on. I'd have Nobara be revealed to be alive in this version, and she basically uses her tech, in combo with Yuji's, to put the already weakened Sukuna down for good, while taking severe battle damage, in the process. That way, Sukuna ultimately goes out because of his own hubris, just as much as because of Gojo's students(who avenge him, as he says he's sure they will, in the afterlife), because he chose to fight and take down Gojo the harder way, rather than ending him right away, which would've left him fresh.(Same with Kashimo.) Sukuna's own biggest character trait, basically becomes his character flaw that's his own undoing, at the end. So simple.

The way Gege's done it here? Yeah, if Yuji's primed to win, get ready for some major ass plot armor so thick, even the normies could see it from a mile away. :tupac

The biggest problem is he wrote all this character and he ended up hating them because they became more popular than his favorite character(?)

:eksip
 
>internet historian is trending
>go see why
>some dude on youtube named hbomberguy made a video pointing out how IH's man in a hole video is plagarized word for word
>people have apparently hated internet historian for a while cause he had no problems with react channels and shit

WELP
 
Wait what you mean on this explain?
Sukuna's never made it into a top 10 popularity poll

it was always people like Gojo (most popular), Nanami, Toji etc

They're all dead or basically dead (nobara). The only one that's alive still is Maki at this point

From the last Popularity poll before Gojo ate shit

Sukuna's in 12th place

guess what happened after this :kobeha
 


The biggest problem with current gaming is the absolute state of AAA gaming in that now you have everyone in it constantly try and push for maximum everything which costs tens if not hundreds of millions to make consistently and to make that shit back, they then have to cater to everyone to make even a bit of it back.

Which then lead shit like Sweet Baby Inc. and games just being extremely boring because they have to be like Grand Theft Auto 5 or Red Dead Redemption 2 or some similar bullshit like being nothing more than a movie pretending it's a game like God of War: Ragnarok and The Last of Us.

They had a grudge against IH because he talks about 4chan and hangs out with JonTron. The plagiarism bullshit is not even close to the problem or whatever
