Geto is Truly LOST! // Jujutsu Kaisèn S2x5 REACTION! 

It's sad, really. A lot of people were watching these five episodes, waiting for the eventual turn and snapping of Geto through some event. But it wasn't just one event. It was a combination of different things. What happened to Riko, the trauma Toji inflicted on him, his conversation with Yuki about non-sorcerers and what their existence means to the world, the premature death of Haibara due to the inaccuracies of their mission(and how teens are losing their lives without even knowing why thanks to the higher ups), Gojo being able to take care of all of the problems and what he offered to Geto about getting rid of all of the people even if they were innocent, and the straw that broke the camels back was seeing how two innocent girls were being treated all because of who they were. We saw the story of how Geto went from a sweet boy to the Geto we saw in JJK 0. Hater of all monkeys. It truly is a tragedy. So many bad things continued to stack up and no one saw how far Geto had sunk until it was too late.

The water from the shower and rain turning into clapping is soooo good

Something that’s so horrifically ironic is that both Gojo and Geto ended up getting something from Toji. Gojo got his “blessing” (Megumi means blessing in Japenese), and Geto literally got his curse.

The thing with gojo being "way too far up his own ass" wasnt really like that. Gojo didn't know how to deal with his feelings, he felt useless because he thought "its my fault that riko died, i wasn't strong enough to beat toji before he got there". So he trained, and trained, so he could reach impossible new heights, just so that something like that would never happen again. Because of that, he unfortunately didnt notice how BAD geto got, he did notice something was wrong hence why he noticed that he was skinnier/paler after the incident, but it wasnt enough. BOTH gojo and geto were dealing with what happened in their own way. It didnt help that they were sent on solo missions either... Just terrible all around really.

It’s worth reminding that there are significant differences between Japan and USA regarding mental health. The attention to Geto (or lack thereof) could be consistent with the times and culture of 2007 Japan.

Gojo “being up his own ass” like he isn’t a teenager himself going on the hardest missions.

Geto was already a depressed man because of his cursed technique and absorbing curses. Paired with his experiences with some non sorcerers who are abusive, evil or corrupt, and a realization from his conversation with Yuki (turning all humans into sorcerers or eradicating all humans in oder to stop producing curses) and maybe even a growing inferiority complex to Satoro are the reasons why he turned and snapped.

Not sure if anyone caught it but Toji is the first person to use the “monkey” line when he taunts Geto saying to remember that he was beaten by a “monkey” like him. I also feel like the fact that Tengen is fine and there’s already another Plasma Star Vessel is way more impactful than people make it out to be. In the end nothing with Riko mattered. All the work they put in, all the things they endured, even the emotional damage caused by her murder, none of them mattered (so far as most of the Jujitsu world is concerned). Everything is brushed off as “it’s okay, we found a new one.” Last thing, to be fair to Gojo, he’s being sent on missions, so that’s why he’s not here to help Geto. He’s not just sitting on his butt.

A lot of people say that Geto and Gojo had opposing philosophies, but I think Geto from the beginning wasn't looking at the idea of Sorcerers and non-sorcerers from a healthy perspective. His cursed technique is heavy to deal with and it always seemed like he was trying to convince himself to not lash out. Too much weight on himself, too much judgement on who is weak vs who is strong, who needs who. Just not a good balance and it's a shame the adults could not help sooner.

Yeah, geto took those girls and raised them as his own, on his own. He never taught them to be sorcerers and he didnt make anyone else in his cult care for them. He basically became their father. The man he ends up crushing when he announces his takeover was the one who inspected rikos body, so he got back at him for that. Baby megumi is so cute, only cares about if his sister would be able to find happiness if he went to the zenins. On morgans talk after... Theres fan art that people have made of what if they talked to geto more and made it feel like he's not alone 😭. They even have it so gojo shoko and geto help out the twin girls and megumi and his sis together.

This episode's details are amazing. An interesting one being that the faces of non-sorcerers are blurred or blocked out from Geto's perspective to dehumanize them. It then builds up to the moment when their faces are almost completely replaced with text summaries of their responses near the end of the episode.

Morgan: "this place is rotted." This is why Yuki doesn't cooperate with the school and why Gojo is teaching students so that they don't repeat the same mistakes.

Wasn’t Gojo also constantly being sent on missions? When would he have had the chance to see what was going on

And don't forget about mental health talk that literally 70% doctors would tell you "just laugh and be happy" if you have depression or anxiety. Collectivism from their Buddhism & local culture is very extreme, leading to so many societal issues.

Morgan has a point. It's subtle and it's in the background, but the corrupt hierarchy is part of the story. This whole Hidden Inventory arc is about Gojo & Geto first, but they are alluding to how Jujutsu high is flawed. Sending Nanami's partner to his death, Yuki mentioning she doesn't fuck with Jujutsu high, etc. It's why Gojo rebels against them and why he protects Yuji & Yuta from them.

Todo likes strong female figures BECAUSE of Yuki! She was her first mentor in Jujutsu! She is briefly shown in Todo's backstory in season 1. It's also why he asks what women people like; It's because she does it too, and they both do it as a way to measure what people they meet are like. "Tell me what you like and I'll tell you who you are" kind of deal.

Yuki was todos teacher and from what I understand they ask it to test people and get an idea of who they are as a person. If someone who can say with conviction their likes, its supposed to point to someone thatd be a good sorderer because theyre sure of themselves and know what they want.

Why is Gojo, who also went through trauma( you could argue, more direct) blamed for not helping with Getos trauma? Just because it's not portrayed the same does not mean it's less valid? Like, I would think becoming super competent and never turning your power off after being maimed at 16 is a trauma response? Especially because he got a crucial hit on you because you relaxed your power, and because the man who killed you did it partly just to test and validate himself ( which is in the same vein as something else revealed later on in the series) . Not only that, 3 characters in this show talk about how children should be able to be children, that it is not a sin. So why are people expecting gojo to be an adult in this situation?

Yuki Tsukumo is the lady that appears in Todou's flashback in Season 1 at the beginning of episode 20.

The repeat of Geto's monologue from the start of the arc hit so much harder in context

Tbh my favorite part of the manga is still the hidden inventory arc 😭 Geto is just that fan favorite and his impact on the story is wild

I'm glad you guys caught the sound of rain sounding like an applause in Geto's head. You guys noticed it when he was talking with Yuki but that was the highlight of the shower scene. You can tell that the scene with all those people applauding Riko's corpse never leaves Geto's head. He's been replaying it in his mind for months probably- failing to save Riko after promising her a good life and that cult that celebrated it. It really got to him.

7:58 he's not reading the subtittles while yuki was talking about one of the most important stuff in the series ever

Probably someone already mentioned it but the traditional clothes Geto Suguru wears by the end of this episode and so on is called a "gojo-kesa". Gege (mangaka) chose that kesa just because it had "gojo" in it, because everything about satoru and suguru revolved around each other. Everyone else already explained Suguru's descent. The one I blame the most is their teacher and therefore guardian: Yaga Masamichi. He was neglected by everyone because between the two of them, Satoru was the problem child, and Suguru did everything right, so he was easier to ignore. Another thing I'd like to mention, Satoru suspended Suguru's death sentence for TEN YEARS. If Suguru hadn't openly declared war in the movie, Satoru would've NEVER gone after him. He'd suspended Suguru's life sentences until he died of old age. 17:10 this is actually a great point. Do you think this could be social commentary in Gege's part? How fcked up mental health is in Japan?? These kids see horrible, horrible things, they're betting their lives every time they go out on a mission, and they have no one to confide in. they have no support. you could say it's a commentary on how japanese society works and how people, specially the youth, have no mental health support.

Oh man "the zenins are assholes" is such an understatement you guys would absolutely hate them when they're animated in season 3 💀

I remember even KFC account itself commented about Geto and Gojo breaking up right in front of them

Even when he thought they should protect non-sorcerers he still placed himself and other sorcerers above them, treating people like animals that you need to protect is still treating them like animals and what happens if you no longer feel they should be protected? As soon as he can find a reason that makes killing non-sorcerers justifiable in his mind he was already primed to have no problem going through with it, he just changed from seeing non-sorcerers as helpless animals to seeing them as vermin. Ngl I find Geto's story really compelling, he's obviously wrong but given his perspective and experiences I honestly totally understand why he does what he does, and why he feels the way he does. he finds out that curses come exclusively from non-sorcerers and the sorcerers fight the curses for the sake of the non-sorcerers and they die in the process, and in Geto's case when he absorbs spirits it's a deeply unpleasant disgusting experience for him. So non-sorcerers are obliviously causing messes left and right by creating curses, and he has to basically clean up their shit and vomit with his tongue, while his friends also die cleaning up their mess, and how do the non-sorcerers repay them? they persecute them, bully them, lock them up, call them freaks. It's not actually that surprising that he comes to the conclusion he does, him and his comrades suffer and die fixing problems caused by non-sorcerers and for the sake of the non-sorcerers, who also don't even treat them well, and Geto is expected to see that as some kind of noble endeavor?

Feels bad for my bro Geto.. Now is where the real season begins lmao LETS GOO

Analysis is on point, it's the trauma and isolation caused Geto to leave

I died at Ezekiel

When y’all start streaming Kaiju No. 8 ?

WE MUST SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!! 🦅 RAAHHH

Morgan getting up in arms about the lack of therapy for Geto and assuming magical people fighting curses in Japan would be impacted by Columbine was...interesting lol. In a perfect world, every student would have a life coach that checks in with them on a daily basis and makes sure the "vibe is right," but I think the show has made it clear throughout that the sorcerers are understaffed and overworked. Everyone at that school had a job to do and little support while they do it. Season two is pretty brutal from here on out, so I hope she braces herself for some more unpleasantry.

I dont like how mischaracterized gojo is

You guys should watch Delicious in Dungeon. Its got everything to love: comedy, delicious looking anime food, a bunch of weirdos bonding, DnD settings, monsters, boobs, and a lot of good vibes. Cause where JJK is going this episode on you are gonna need those good vibes

❤😊

As someone who is from Asia (India), this episode and some conversations with gojo in season 1 about how the elders keep fucking up with old traditions and don't give a fuck about what the impetus is on a teenager's brain, hits so close to home. In my understanding, the author of JJK is basically using this medium in order to vent his frustrations with the culture of his country (there is a lot of overlap in both cultures of India and Japan). That you put so much pressure on a kid and provide zero ways to treat a kid's mental health instead of letting that person enjoy his teenage life. You gotta put rules before humanity. In my country, religion has fucked our entire political and mental sanity. People are getting fucked up because fucking 70 year old buttwarts in the top are making stupid-ass decisions. There is so much polarization because adults won't change. Remember, Geto and Gojo are 17 year old when they faced this level of trauma - Riko's death, Toji's terror, Assholes in the cult clapping over a dead 16 year-old girl's body.. what the fuck do you expect from Geto other than getting the urge to shoot up a school. I don't support Geto's decision but I empathize with him so much more.

I think you might have misread Gojo pretty bad in this instance. The whole "he's on some god shit" thing lasted until the end of that episode; it wasnt like this long drawn out sustained part of his personality. Not intending to sound harsh or dickish, and i apologize if i do.

#MollyInTheWater I think shes onto something

🫨

Tfw you breakup with ur bf in front of kfc

You did a 1/8th of the movie, like as a reaction channel you fucked up

the way you try to be funny so much throughout the episode is really annoying sometimes , it really kills the vibe when important things come up ... not here to tell you how to enjoy your media but as a viewer its not fun to watch . no hate just an opinion .

Oh, something that could go inside someone and change their mind??? Thats weird, would never happen..

The whole jujutsu sorcery sistem is so f'd up, students constantly used for somewhat irresponsible task shows that is strength is nothing but a weapon. The stronger u are, the dirtier task u might get, now imagine if u are the strongest, yeah. Great post-episode discussion. This tragic theme really holds up to the manga till now... if you know, you know.
