At least he acknowledged toji by looking at him and Gojo as a whole nother class He even said I’m the only one who is allowed to stand along those two And it showed Gojo and toji
Never really got tojis appeal. I mean bro is strong af but other than he's a failure in every other aspect. He literally has the same mentality as a homeless person. Just gotta make enough money to see the next day and then we'll see what happens next. Also for someone who doesn't care much about anything, he sure did leave the world in a worse state than when he was alive. From corrupting geto to forcing tengen to evolve. Bro is like a parasite. Can't help but spread diseases wherever he goes.
I think that's what most people like about Toji, that he just doesn't give a shit. And also the fact that he was always seen as a loser of the Zenin clan but ended up making up huge changes in the main story, and ofc his relationship with Megumi, that at the very end, he still cared about his son. And overall, he is badass.
Kid looked at Toji and knew his whole world was a lie igniting his inferiority complex. Toji tried to do the same with Gojo, and it had the same result.
