Gojo & Aizen - "The Strongest" and The Loneliest 

Jujutsu kaisen fans and bleach fans are so hyped for the chair 😊

These two drop cold one liners. "You are to weak to be here" and the "Welcome to my Soul Society" In a Chair!

I'm a massive fan of Kubo and Akutami. Gojo Saturo wants to change a system with his students. He could have just killed the higher ups but they'd just be replaced. He met his end against someone stronger. Aizen is a free spirits to break out of a system. He doesn't kill left and right as long as they don't stand in his way. He respects free spirits like Shunsui, Ichigo and Urahara. The only person he deemed above him was Urahara. The central 46 was killed by Aizen and than just replaced.

What makes Aizen lonely is his intelligence. The only person he seeks consensus or approval from is Urahara, who's not even that strong in the scheme of things, but Aizen perceives him as smart or smarter as himself and as a result couldn't understand why someone who should've been his peer didn't see eye to eye with him.

Can we just... Appreciate Kubo and Gege as writers? Cause holy fuck we're so blessed to have them tell their stories. Ronin perfectly put into words so much of what I've always wished I could say.

Kubo said sometime in 2015, that he will continue to keep aizen's character consistent, so I have no doubt that when the hell arc comes out, aizen might not be the main villain, but he will be a side villain in the shadows, always plotting, scheming and planning something lol

And here's the funny thing about aizen, his character was the only one that didn't get rushed writing in the ending of bleach manga, despite kubo's health issues, he knew he had to write aizen well from start to finish 😂😂

I love how JJK adapted and expanded on many of Bleach's themes and ideas. The clear inspiration along with its unique spin and great creativity makes it truly one of the greatest things I've read in a few years as a Bleach fan.

“We think a flower on a cliff is beautiful because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge, unable to step out into the sky like that fearless flower.” 😮‍💨

sukuna's view on love, strength and lonliness is just the best take

I'm glad there are at least some people out there who picked up on Aizen's subconscious need for an equal and that the hogyoku stopped his evolution because he found his equal in Ichigo🔥

love characters like these separated from humanity by their strength wanting to meet people like themselves, reminds me of saitama in a way

I like this theme with Aizen. Be it attempting to achieve godhood, becoming to god or imprisoned he will be alone regardless. If in godhood he'd simply occasionally terrorize those beneath him or cultivate some pawn to just slightly challenge him. It's a shallow existence that leads nowhere beyond his massive ego.

Ozriel is another great example of this idea of loneliness caused by power, though he's in a much more complicated situation that his loneliness exacerbates. It's really fascinating how this idea of loneliness caused by having too much skill or power is something explored across cultures and through different mediums of storytelling.

I've definitely been anticipating this all day🙏🏽

Sōsuke is my favorite character in all of anime and Jujutsu Kaisen is my favorite Anime/Manga of all time. I didn't even realize the similarities until now.

You could also create one video highlighting the traits between Gojo and Urahara. I always thought Gojo is a fine mix of Aizen and Urahara. Since Gege is inspired by Kubo. One of the similar traits I think is Urahrara's mindset for winning. He fights every battle like it's going to be his last and excels at it. The same mindset was taught by Gojo to Megumi: "Dying to win and risking death to win, are completely different. Give it your best." While Urahara says: "Don’t use others as a reason for walking into death’s arms." "Training hard, risking your life… what’s the difference?" "This is a battle. If you lose, you die. It's something we all do. Preparing yourself to death to avoid death." And he's the smartest shinigami alive, and he's always been seen because of his intellect and not who he really is. He always comes up with a solution and fixes everyone's problems like how Gojo is deemed to exorcise strong curses and fix everyone's problems. He doesn't hold grudges and loves people nonetheless. It's like how Gojo admitted that he loves people as a human being, but drew a line as a living creature. Both of them have faith in their people. The only exception is he never tried to make somebody as smart as himself. (Maybe it was the Hogyoku) Like how he accepted the status quo, he also accepted the fact that he's the smartest, he's lonely, and that's okay. He doesn't need to change himself or people to avoid this feeling. And he doesn't have a "god complex". While Aizen was the Overman, Urahara was the Last Man. He also had Youruichi to keep him sane. Gojo had Geto to keep him on his toes. Urahara was doomed because of the system, and Gojo lost his youth because of the system. However, it's a tough video to make since both Urahara and Aizen have so many similarities with Kenjaku (Rather than Gojo). But hey, you did the Aizen, so maybe you can do the Kisuke too.

As someone who was lonely, Gojo's goal is admirable especially with regards to education and non-solitude; whereas Aizen's goal of standing in the heavens is unrealistic but very real especially with humans' interactions with and towards each other; and a lack of trust in others is very real for someone who is lonely and isolated. Although, they both show the process of change and growth; and how such things can be used for either good or bad, even if their intentions can be "good".

Gojo has the power and the loneliness. Kenjaku has the plans. Smash em together and ya get Aizen.😂

basically gojo and aizen were beings that wanted to change the world for the better but because of their hubris, in thinking they can be god and their extraordinary nature and powers, they ultimately failed their goals. i think since gojo is the good guy and since he has some parallels with buddha, will come back and achieve true enlightenment, casting aside his ego and being dedicated to his students. perhaps even aizen might have gotten a similar treatment since he is seen being sealed back, which he had to have agreed to and since he gave that final monologue but sadly, bleach was super rushed at that point to make things like that clear.

bro is expanding my vocabulary, that’s awesome

Also one opposite for then, Aizen tried to change the system by force while Gojo tried a different approach They both hated the system and wanted to change it

When I think bleach ceiling I think Ywhach, Ichigo, Aizen but the top dog among them is Aizen in my opinion Aizen wasn’t defeated he was sealed and one could argue that him getting weak enough for the seal to activate was his own doing bc Ichigo did say he felt like Aizen let up but that’s a whole different convo…even if u want to say Aizen isn’t currently the strongest you have to know he’ll eventually get there this was the case before the hogyoku his sheer talent and genius mind that made him a kido/sword master also made him venture into looking for more paths to gain more strength which led him too the hogyoku which gave him even more hax on top of the ones he already had + the fact that the hogyoku is an exponential growth machine that makes Aizen grow stronger day by day even if you want to argue that he isn’t the strongest now you know he’ll eventually get there there’s also the fact that the man has never thought it necessary to use his Bankai…we know he has this in his arsenal bc the criteria to become a captain was to have mastered bankai and kenpachi was the only one said to not have a bankai while being a captain another piece of evidence was that Aizen himself said he had attained everything a soul reaper could…he is broken his shikai is already practically impossible to deal with I think he himself sealed away his bankai so as to not overpower everyone he came across because it’d be too easy…this too long so I’ll stop here Aizen is the strongest in that verse.

I like these type of anime/manga video relating to analysis of different series. 👍

Something to note about Aizen and that really gives us a sense of what he values are the Arrancars. We know he gives them their numbers and they all represent a way to death, and I think it has more to tell about them than their strengths. Three of them specifically caught my eye: Yammy, Stark and Barragan. Barragan is the death by old age and entropy. It is supposedly the ultimate form of ending. There is nothing after him. But weirdly, Stark, the avatar of solitude, is "stronger" and more important to Aizen, as if to say that loneliness is an even more crippling feeling to him than existential dread brought by old age and entropy. And then there's Yammy, both the "strongest" and the weakest of them, and he represents anger. I think it is the lowest because Aizen is someone that is calm and collected that won't let anger or other strong emotions cloud his judgment (according to him of course) but it is also the number 0, outside of the numbering, because it is the symptom of Stark. The loneliness in Aizen created a cold rage about the world that crystalized in the Soul King. That's why Aizen was enraged at the end, because it was just boiling under this whole time. Ted talk over, thanks for reading.

The moment I read this it made me wonder. what if Aizen was like Gojo? it might wreck the whole plot of Bleach cause then we would only be left with TYBW but it could be that Aizen is made out to be the villain when in actuality he just wanted someone to understand him.

Seeing how some characters had their conclusions in the tybw, I'm excited to see what Kubo is plannign with Aizen's character in the future.

Sukuna and Ywhach are both also similar since they’re timeless villains that returned essentially just to fuck up all of existence with absolutely no regard for anything. While Aizen and Gojo both have goals and aspirations that actually should be a net positive despite how the current power structure sees it, while the latter two exist almost to spite the current power structure. You want to keep the balance of your society developed around protecting normal people from the magic around them? Well fuck you should have killed this final boss a thousand years ago when it was still possible bc now it isn’t. Which makes me feel like there’s a chance we’re gonna see Itadori related to Ywhach somehow which leads to a power up allowing him to just completely overpower him to contend with his hax. Maybe Megumi halts his movement or does something from within his soul to completely mirror Ichigo and Uryu jumping Ywhach.

Aizen, surprisingly, got his wish to have an actual rival

Aizen is most unique and appealing character and Antoganist I've seen in all anime/manga He is just too goated

yo i watched your naruto what ifs back in the day and i am so happy you are making videos again i wonder though why did you quit the what ifs

Great video Ronin. I like these type of videos from you. I enjoy your interpretations. I won't say much about Gojo as you and many others have already said everything and it is pretty recent. I wanna add more to what you said about Aizen. Aizen is not lonely just because of his strength(although that's a part of it for sure and I guess you brought up strength only to compare him with Gojo which is fair). It's also because of his knowledge and his curious nature. He questions everything, which is an anomaly in Soul Society where law and order is at the top. And he knows about the dark history of Soul Society that, again, isn't known by many people. Other strong or intelligent people around him(like Yamamoto and Urahara) may possess some similarities, but they are either content with the current status quo, or are just ignorant. That's why he is lonely. So he challenges the system that confirms to the status quo of following orders without questioning anything. But the path he takes and his attitude towards others and himself is what led to his ultimate defeat which is a conversation for different time.

And gojo having his infinity cut by sukuna could also mean that sukuna was able to reach gojo and gojo finally saw someone who could understand what it meant to be the strongest

Really liked the thumbnail for the vid. I’m a sucker for black and white artstyle

I think I speak for all when I say "Praise chair-sama."

Aizen and the Übermensch philosophy are peak Kubo was Cooking and i love his intellectual battle wit Urahara

What's crazy is Aizen grew in power and arguably eclisped Ichigo and maybe even could've eclipsed Yhwach especially with bankai.

Urahara looked more sus than Aizen sometimes when I watched bleach for the first time ngl.

The forever seated one and the forever bisected one

1:13 Not gonna lie thought I was gonna see something else, I cannot un-see what the internet has done with this scene

W vid. 2 🐐s. Kinda Yin and Yang

For me the isolation for gojo and aizen is more like that of a celebrity but way more isolation because celebrities have peers and but both these characters don't .

Oh yes talking about Aizen along side Gojo was all part of his plan

Finally someone talks about this

Off topic to the video but like a random nugget of a fun fact. The main character of kubo's series prior to bleach zombiepowder is named akutabi gamma. The penname gege chose is akutami gege. Maybe akutabi is his actual last name and its just coincidence but generally you choose your penname so its probably not random chance they are so similar. Theres not really much obvious similarity between zombiepowder and jujutsu kaisen other than that maki's sword looks vageuely similar (emphasis on vaguely) to the sword of a minor villain in zombiepowder. Anyway, just a pointless bit of trivia. On topic to the video anime and manga are often guilty of flanderizing their characters over time anyway so you can't blame the fans too much for doing that themselves. I won't name any names to avoid making anyone mad but it happens so often and it is partially because those exaggerated traits are what fans want from them. They're the reason fans like them. People like aizen and gojo because they are sigma chads not for any other reason. And those attracted to men like them for other obvious reasons. Lets be real people like kenpachi for the black air force one energy he exudes. Imo he's one of the worse characters in the series but he doesn have some fantastic moments of depth but nobody gives a shit about them hes just a savage that's all that matters. He didn't get flanderized but thats because he basically only had one trait from the start. Some really popular characters from other series get really flanderized by the authors over time. Even happens to main characters. So its not s shock that fans do it too.

That comment kubo made to gege😂😂is why he is GOATED. I actually met two of my GOAT musicians in person. For one of them we had a full 5 mins conversation about a late night show gig. The second time I met my hero.....I swear to you I ACTUALLY SAID..." yo..your my idol" and he just said to me " you,shouldn't idolized" BR I. wanted to die from cRinge

To me juju two kaisen is the perfect blend of bleach naruto and fate stay night with graphics that rival a demon slayer. The main character manages to be Ichigo, Naruto, and Shiro, all at once. The natural genius tendency of Ichigo, then the trapped curse of Naruto except darker, and the living leaving to fulfill someone else's dream that Shiro had. It's like all of the most conflictive parts of each of those characters wrapped into one.

I love your videos ronin, please keep it up it’s fucking great

I never looked at Gojo raising up strong students just to satisfy his loneliness 😂 makes him sound like a pervert. But it took both him and Aizen to fight a strong opponent who's power goes beyond comprehension to satisfy their loneliness and in the same way Ichigo and Yuta seen spirits since a young age and it has effected their life and they felt some type of loneliness. Both protagonists also gain the abilities to put them in the top category of strongest in their universe. The themes and coincidences are crazy

Do a vid on mushashi myamoto PLEASE 🙏🏾

Griffth in berserk also faced the same problem.

thank you for making a video about my two husbands 😊

I agree and i love this i also love the fact that one (gojo) got what he wanted in the end while the other (aizen) still suffered when he got sealed that kinda shows the ways and decisions they made in the past And yes while u didn't say it for some reason (maybe u forgot and just added it on the screen lol) vagabond is the manga that questions and answers these questions it's really amazing strength and solitude and how a person should go about it probably u and almost no one else will read my comment but i just wanted to write this lol 😆 Anyways great job ❤ and this video is definitely one of my fav videos u made 😄

Watching this video makes me hope gojo stays dead in the story. Yes it’d be hype and excited to see him return in some how (the many theories have “answers” as to how that might happen.) but the complete character arc for him, makes his death satisfying in a way. And makes me happy to see how Gojo made it, and how he escaped his realm of loneliness.

Just because I'm a slight power scaling nut, Aizen is actually up there with Yhwach and Ichigo. Aizen never once mentioned that the zero division would be an issue for him, just Ichigo. Aizen was still able to use Kyoka Suigetsu vs Ywach despite him being merged with the soul king - and with Reiatsu negation being a thing, that would mean that they are on a similar level.

I think another similarity is how both Gojo's and Aizen's loneliness is because of how they limit their individualities to only their power and nothing else. While Gojo has no foil, Aizen has a big one in Urahara who isn't limited but far more formidable because of how he refuses to. We can argue that Sukuna evolving his CT could make him a foil to Gojo in that aspect as Sukuna never gives himself any titles... But I'm not that confident in that because Gojo's dead now

I personally think aizen & kenjaku are more similar but this is a really good one I didn't think much about

I just realized that naruto one piece and bleach have croupt system that created thier villains that's what makes the complex they want to change the system that ruined their lives unlike a villain like frizea who is for the sake of being evil

YOO I MADE THE SAME ANALOGY WHEN 236 DROPPED!!!

Aizen knew the condition of the soul king and want to change it.

Damn BR just dropped some Heat

Dont even need to see the vid to know its a w just from the title

When’s that Miwa solo the verse vid getting made?

Gojo reminds me

Bro got the death note music

They both wanted to change the system that was controlling them but they did it differently if it wasn’t for geto gojo might have gone the route aizen went

Bruh ... I Love Gojo I do .... But aizen would D E M O L I S H mah boi

well i think u kinda misinterpreted one thing, those sutednts (despite feelings Gojo had for them) were means to reform society for him... thus its more of a similarity then u mentioned, but atill its great video

One point youre missing is that aizen says himself to be transcendent but in all fairness that is all thanks to the hogyoku unlike gojo who was born with limitless and six eyes aizen turned himself into what he is

jjk is just bleach which got the love it deserved

Mob 100 vid when?

@BrokenRonin i actually came to the excat conclusion saying Aizen shouldve went gojos way insted. Which i feel Aizen understood at the end. Which is why he didn't destory SS at the End. Another reason is because ichigo "True" power but thats a video of mine coming soon to a youtube screen near you I like ginjo as a antagonist better then Aizen. Change my mind. (Aizen-45%Ginjo-55%)

I’m guessing Aizen and ol brain kun will be much more similar by the end of the series

Aizen got merged with hogyoku so he’s immortal

i would even compare the way they lost and how it was 100% not a fair 1v1 on either side gojo was fighting mahoraga and sm other shit and aizen wasn’t even sealed by ichigo he needed the only character smarter than aizen (kisuke) to create a new kido just to seal him

Do think that the talk no jutsu would work on aizen because naruto understand the feeling of loneliness

What are u cooking up now🧐

IM EARLYYYYYY AHHHHH

yeah ......even both yamamoto and gojo were divided equally into 4 parts

Idk, YB never ran into unsealed full power aizen.

So. that explains yuji

Gojo is basically a combination of Aizen and Kisuke, and I love it lol

I hope this doesn't mean that Sukuna will get the same defeat as Yhwach

Cleave Final getsuga???

Who cares about Gojo and Aizen? Make a video about the Cube and the Chair

Ummmm idk bro but I similar sunglasses as gojo and spectacles similar to Aizen kinda weird tho

Gojo dominates a fight to the point Sukuna who's limping around with one arm, one eye, brain damage, low curse output and energy had to kill him with Mahoraga's adaption which is an ability not his and happened before it's own death (which is stupid) makes Sukuna considered the strongest?

Both are haxed too

sukuna be like fuck love fuck loneliness i eat when i want i kill when i want i play when i want what A GEGECHAD xd

Sukuna is the Yhwach to Gojo's Aizen I swear

Gojo vs aizen in terms of everything Complexity- aizen Well written- aizen Consistency- aizen Goal- aizen Osts- aizen Popular-both Eyes-gojo Stronger-aizen Save me daddy-gojo Step on me daddy-aizen Carried the franchise-both Aizen is clearly the better character, but I respect and love gojo alot😍

Gojo is like uharaha not aizen

i'd rather be aizen be similar to kenjaku as to what they both did to both mc and gojo with kenpachi with just difference in attitude

At 0:50 why did you say Gojo’s family name first but then you said Aizen’s family name second

Why can't people enjoy both man😭

At least i am not sliced like a bread

Brother Aizen Wrote Jujustu Kaisen

I’ll save you time from even having to make a video… Bleach verse is just simply on a whole other level than the JJK verse!.. it’s just leagues… no, worlds… no, dimensions apart from that of the JJK verse is!.. ANY of the top tier Bleach characters would single handedly SOLO the entire JJK verse (yes, including both Gojo & Sukuna..) with minimal effort & relative ease if we are being honest & serious here, & leaving all personal biases & emotional feelings out of everything.. leaving all emotions aside, not getting all up in your feels, & thinking logically & reasonably for a minute here, not letting your own personal biases cloud your judgement or ability to think logically & with reason… Then in that case, it is extremely & beyond obviously apparent that Bleach verse is just WAYYYYY above what the JJK verse is, & ANY top tier Bleach characters (possibly even mid tier ones in all honesty!..) would absolutely eviscerate all of JJK single handedly by themselves with relative ease… it just is what it is. Just as the Dragon Ball verse is leagues above that of the Bleach verse, it’s the same with Bleach being leagues above JJK.. that’s the brutal truth of the matter, whether you like it or not. Aizen would stomp Gojo so bad it’s not even a debate at all whatsoever! Not even close.. & if you think any differently, than you are certainly most likely a younger new gen anime fan who is all emotional & up in your feels, letting your personal bias dictate your ability to reason logically & see things for what they are.. Aizen stomps Gojo & the rest of JJK with ease. That’s just how it is. Get over it. Sorry truth hurts lol

I was always annoyed that Kubo decided to make Aizen ultra powerful even though he had already given him a power which made it completely unnecessary for him to be more powerful than anyone else...

Starrk 😢
