The reaction trend to bloated endless shonen being these bangers that kind of stumble over themselves in the back half trying to satisfactorily wrap up is very weird to me. Let these fuckers breathe! Same issue as demon slayer here, I guess weekly format catching up again

honestly, I liked it after reading. I'm also not entirely convinced he's dead and not just on deaths door, considering his head is wholey intact and Sukanu looks like he wouldnt/wont/will be to preoccupied to go for a capstone killing blow. But yeah I do think this ends the fight and Gojo will be out of commission for quite awhile

sure she may be absent, but have you all considered that gojo just may not give enough of a gently caress about her to draw her in like his childhood friends?

I think some of the annoyance there comes from the fact that Getting Gojo Back was a major part of the entire Culling Game arc which people were already kind of turned off on, so having him revived and then dying near-instantly kind of is a sour point.

I honestly don't have a problem with his death (and kind of thought it was inevitable) but I do think the exact point it happened felt a bit weird and rushed.

Edit:
And as I mentioned before I think it suffers from the fact that aside from Yuuji everyone we started the series with is dead/effectively dead so people are probably a bit more negative about Gojo's death because it means we're down to Yuuji and a bunch of basically nobodies (and the prequel squad who I know some people consider nobodies but I like.)

this is maki erasure, we got neo-toji and everyone is still hating smdh

Gojo's story is ultimately one of failure.

We're repeatedly told he's insanely powerful, and shown it. But we're also repeatedly shown that, when the time comes, he doesn't use that power correctly and he doesn't accomplish his goals.

Hidden Inventory is his foundational moment, where he fails to protect Riko and, after, sets the stage for repeating this kind of failure by questioning what he's been told all his life, that he's some kind of sorcerer god. His sentimentality also allows Kenjaku to steal Geto's body, leading to all the other events in the manga.

Shibuya is also his failure. After striding into the place like he's all-powerful -- and sure, exercising some of that power -- he ultimately fails to save people, fails to take out any of the major villains except Hanami, and gets sealed away. He's self-confident even then, putting his faith in... Yuta, mostly, which still hasn't come to fruition.

Then here, when he's unsealed, he fails to do anything in the immediate confrontation, and fails to defeat Sukuna now. It was inevitable narratively, but ultimately unsatisfying for reasons others have mentioned.

Even his decision to allow Yuji to live and keep Sukuna locked away, being a present danger, is arguably a failure. We'll see how this ends up playing out, but Gojo's whole arc is really just about him making bad decisions, failing to use his influence, and offloading the burden on others who he really doesn't properly support, train, or assist.

and this is why gojo rules
