Suguru Geto - Watching a Man Change (Jujutsu Kaisen Analysis) 

Hope everyone enjoyed the video!!! Regarding how I pronounce Geto, I admit my pronunciation isn't really correct, however as far as I know in english the way we say "geh" is actually impossible to say it Japanese. Also I don't know why I called Yuki Yuko lol

I think its very fascinating to see how Geto is "living his best life" in zero. He acts like a disney villain, takes pictures with his _family_ and has so much fun fighting Yuta and doing his bad guy routine, down to his last momments he smiles wholeheartedly because he *truly* has no regrets

The PTSD (P-ost T-oji S-Tress D-isorder) Geto had was crazy

Okay, I didn't feel that emotional seeing their relationship in the anime and felt sad for him, but the way you articulated their bond made me tear up 😢

I think geto is just straight up THE best written character in jjk. The ones who come close is nanami and mahito depending on the character archetype you prefer. But when it comes to tragedy and writing no one else is fleshed out like him

It's a shame that he never really honed his skills any further, instead focusing more on his ideals than his actual growth as both a person and a jujutsu sorcerer.

Geto's transformation is a firm sign that Jujutsu High has not ONE teacher with a serviceable brain. The administration of everything in JH is horrendous to a degree that completely explains their abysmal performance at the Shibuya.

“…that reason was genocide” 😭 incredible editing and analysis, and funny too! Easy subscribe

Most video about Geto talk about parallel between him and Gojo, but I want to talk about parallel between him and Nanami. Both change their live after Hibara death with Nanami quit, yet he come back because a simple "Thanks you" he find joy in helping non-sorcerer something Geto never realize. If Nanami talk no jusu him, he might even sccuessfully change Geto's mind.

15:13 My theory is that what Gojo said to Geto is the same thing he said to Yuta. "You are my best friend, my one and only". Which is why Geto smiles softly and says that Gojo should at least curse him in the end...

Geto is by far my favorite jjk character. His development throughout Hidden Inventory/Premature Death is tragic, but at the same time, very understandable. He was doomed to break at some point. The whole argument about egoism in jjk's world isn't really about "selfishness = strength", but about the need for your ideals and motivation to come from within, not from the outside. Doing something because "it's the right thing to do" and doing it because "you know deep within that it is the right thing to do" are two completely different things. Geto's ideals at the beginning of Hidden Inventory are the former. He exorcises curses because protecting the weak is the duty of the strong, but that's something that comes from outside of himself, it's what would be expected of someone in his position. He doesn't really have a deep conviction about it. And that's why once confronted by the ugliness of the people he was protecting, his ideals slowly begin to crack. Since he didn't have any deeply rooted ideals to keep himself straight and his only friend, for whom he once was a moral compass, had reached a level where he was not needed and a level he could never attain, he had no one by his side to share the grief, hatred and depression with. Then, when he was at his lowest, both Haibara's death and Mimiko and Nanako's treatment by the non-sorcerers of the village were the last two straws for him to break away from his previous ideals. Two innocent children, whose only "sin" was being born with a talent that regular people could not understand being thrown in a cage by them. The villagers would not listen to a word of Geto and wanted him to get rid of the two, all the while he knew they (read non-sorcerers) were the cause of their own suffering (curses), rather than the kids. Seeing the worst of the worst of mankind and being forced to deal with it constantly led him to a point where he was at least a bit justified in saying "fuck it". I don't condone anything he did afterwards, but I can understand it.

“his one and only”😭 great video, cant wait for more!!

What hurts most about rikkos death is that because of tojis heightened senses he most definitely overheard geto and rikkos conversation but still killed her cause he's an elite bag chaser

There is indeed a theory as to what gojo said to geto and it’s derived from the opening 2 “ao no sumika” there is a line that says: It is the unvoiced voice that says “We’ll see each other again, won’t we?”

Geto is written fantastically, glad to hear others agree.

The way you used narration along with the scenes, like the part when Geto and Riko are talking and Toji kills her and you paused as the scene continues just gives the it so much depth. It’s genuinely amazing how something so simple can change the way things are seen. Others might not think it this way, but I am so glad I took my time to watch this vid. So thank you. Edit: I occasionally get notifications because people keep liking my comment and through out these 13 days since I posted this comment I have seen the number of likes spike from 0 to 120 this is the most amount of likes I have gotten so thank you

I genuinly watched this the entire way through and thought, danm this guy must be in the millions at least, and i see the 5.2k... you deserve like 100x that

this video was fucking beautiful man

Stop saying Gayto please

The Gojo x Geto friendship really is the sweetest kind. Two people who love each other despite their differences, who cherish the other’s being even when things must come to an end. Imagining the heartbreak that Gojo felt knowing that Geto needed to die… and that he had to be the one to kill him… But in a twisted way, Geto’s death allowed him to be relinquished of his convictions and psychological suffering.

Bro keeps saying gayto 😭

The way youre able to convey everything in such an easily digestible way AND using such amazingly thought out descriptive imagery to show both Gojo and Geto's bond, his ideologies, and just his whole character is so fuckint amazing dude

Great analysis dude, Getos downfall is Shakespearean level writing fr. Really enjoyed this and look forward to more content

His story is so sad, the way everything changed so quick is still difficult to accept. He’s such an interesting character, and although his morals obviously turned evil, you can see his perspective. Seeing his backstory, you’d never expect it from someone as kind and reasonable as Geto to end up the way he did. I wish someone could’ve saved him, maybe have a redemption near the end at least, but he still didn’t regret his choice. It’s sad he really didn’t have much screen time at all, he technically was never even in the show. Using his body for Kenjaku is really just Gege being evil and trying to make Gojo suffer more. It’s just emotional damage, using the face of his best friend for the new villain, when in reality he’s been long dead. 😕

To see Geto fall into this downward spiral genuinely hurt me. He is one if my favorite characters in Jjk, and watching this video clarified a few things i couldn't catch on. Thank you for making this video! (Is it wimpy to say this made me cry??)

The thing is, Geto is technically right. Jujitsu high is so fd up. The higher ups couldn’t care less about the lives of sorcerers and the world is also fd up. It’s just the way he went about helping those issues was wrong

I really like the fact that even though the ideals of geto and gojo are presented to be like parallels, they both somewhat closely trying to do the same thing, changing the jujutsu world because it is rotten.

This video is a masterpiece… stand proud you can cook

I'm not the only one who thinks Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo are like Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr from the X-Men right?

the production quality is insane.

Geto is my favorite jjk character, thank you for this video. My people don't understand this. But you have explained it in such a good and simple way that everyone can understand. Thank you so much for this video.

to be honest, the season 2 hidden inventory was insane, seeing how he say hes tired. If the students were strong he wont have to do alone

the montage at the end made me tear up a bit, i loved this video sm.

I will always respect Geto and his ambitions. Walking alone towards a goal you believe in, no matter how ugly it appears to everyone else, will always be the right choice. You're only wrong until you win.

Excellent work, thanks dude!

This was so helpful for any confusion I had throughout the whole series. The clarification made me feel even more sad about their bond and how much it has changed from the circumstances. Geto is such an incredible character though!

I bawled at the end don’t even start-😊 this video was BEAUTIFUL

Amazing video! I really enjoyed hearing this character Analysis on one of my favorite characters in fiction.

great analysis op!!! awesome video

i love videos like these that analyze and break down characters, plus reading comments that back it up are so lovely like YES I WILL READ ALDAT🔥🔥

Very very well said man. Love your narration and techniques you used through-out this video. Will be subbing

Great job bro!!! Loved the breakdown and animation!

the narration for this video is perfect. amazing storytelling, please keep up your content!

This video is so awesome! Watched the whole thing

This is one of the best analyses I’ve ever seen. I can now fully understand my favourite JJK character

Thorough, witty, constructive. Good video

Wonderfully done video! It was a really nice summary/explanation, it was done beautifully. I personally thought the hidden inventory arch was kind of confusing so this cleared it up for me, thanks! (Geto's my one of my favs too)

Dude, amazing presentation! Subbed! Love your content!

Great analysis my man

Extremely deep analysis loved it

i couldnt stop but cry while listening to this.. why did gege have to make this so sad ughhhh. btw i love how you explained all of this. thanks man💗😼

15:05 that reason was genocide 😹😹😹

Fantastic breakdown! Got a sub

I get a feeling itadori could have made geto see something new. He was someone who didn’t even know of sorcery then when he gained power he chose to use it knowing he’d just die. But geto never got that.

This video helped me better understand s2 of jjk, and especially getou. I love his character and just needed a better explanation of what happened post-Riko incident when he changed and this did exactly that. Thank you

The way you cut off the audio at 4:55 for the gunshot was s tier.

I loved and needed this analysis, as I am extremely smooth brained and couldn't catch on to half of this.

god i’m tearing up, this is insanely well made please never stop

This is great explanation broo

Incredible breakdown. Certainly earned a sub from me ❤️

I think the greater point of early geto is solidified more by Mahito Corrupting Junpei. This kind of proves that curse users can kind of come from purely mundane parents. Like a Harry Potter mudblood phenomenon. This makes the existence of curse users more of a roll of the dice and shows that despite what gojo said; every sorcerer is the chosen one. He lost touch with reality to find an easy path out of trauma. He abandoned responsibility for convenience.

Definitely deserves more views

Honestly, perfect character analysis, I agree with every aspect! Geto personifies every major aspect of the whole manga / anime: the strength, the sacrifice, the tragedy, the impossibility of it. I love it. And Geto (before his solution became genocide)

I’m in tears 😭 getooooooo😢❤

Geto’s arc in Hidden Inventory was what really roped me into JJK, this video helps prove to me that he is honestly peak

Great video man! I’ve just come across your channel and I’m excited to check out your other content (that Death Note video looks appealing 👀)

Holy shit your analysis slapppsss ‼️🔥🔥💪

I remember someone saying "All it takes 1 yapping session from Yuki to change broken geto to commit genocide"

It is genuinely heart breaking to see how much love these two had for one another as comrades on the front lines and close friends. Just to be forced against each other. The world of JJK is brutal

I really wish they lived longer and together but maybe it was meant to be like it to give JJK more depth (specially regarding YUTA and GOJO) And your articulated their relationship beautifully,love the video❤️

absolute banger!!

geto is one of if not my favourite character. it saddens me so much that things went the way they did. the first few episodes of season 2 are my favourite because i LOVE seeing both him and gojo especially interacting with each other. one day ill cosplay geto

solid vid brother

"Geto reaches our his hand to Riko. As she reaches-" *gets shot in the head* I knew it was coming but it still startled me lol

amazing video!!!!

“As she reach-“ GUNSHOT. That was a nice edit

coolnugget has to be one of the best anime youtuber out here rn

enjoyed!

I don’t think I’ll ever recover from geto and Gojos bond. It did so much in so little time and had such an impact it’s crazy. I love it soo much

Such a beautiful and heartbreaking story 😭💔

Great video

Man now I most defenitly gonna rewatch Jujutsu Kaisen 🤩

So Geto's mindset was like " Sorcerers trying to save all humans from curse spirit and yet they torture, kill Sorcerers, human don't understand so he makeup his mind to kill all humans and make a better world only for Sorcerers " -- was it the motivation for Geto?

another slay by coolnugget

It's actually very similar in ideals & execution to the Castlevania Series on Neflix with Dracula. Geto's perception of the world was PERMANENTLY broken. While Gojo & other characters can rationalize the cruelty & unfairness of the situation... he could NOT. There was no more innocence or delusional thinking left in him. Geto was not stronger than Gojo, but he was more intelligent. Even worse, he was intelligent enough to understand that REGARDLESS of his own personal strength & and potential... that in the end, nothing would change. The status quo would remain the same. Why bother getting stronger? So, not being able to pretend (or self-actualize/rationalize) that he was a "good guy", he took on the role as a "villian" while waiting for someone to put him out of his misery. Even while playing "villian", the civilian casualties were relatively low, aside from his 1st 100 people incident. I believe he himself realized he couldn't perform genocide either after that. So as Alucard said to Dracula, "This isnt a war, it's the world's longest suicide note." Geto was begging for someone to end his existence. Someone to see & understand. He thought Gojo of ALL people, his BEST FRIEND, would understand. But Gojo didn't. He couldn't even sympathize. He took the Genocide Plan at face value, not looking any deeper into it. So in Geto's final moments, he was kind, but in a way, LOOKING DOWN on Gojo, for not understanding him. My headcannon is that in Geto's final moments, Gojo finally agreed with Geto & admitted their actions were futile and gave him some peace. That's why we'll never hear THAT part of the conversation, because it would be akin to breaking the 4th wall. God's chosen righteous angel can't EVER be caught breaking bread with the Devil, & admitting this is all a game we play.

Gojo told Geto in the manga "you were always my best friend" before his death.

4:57 "Gun to your head.....oh I fuqed up again didn't I" 😂

Geto Suguru is my favorite-written character in JJK.

This video was awesome

Dam this is one masterpiece of a video.. And I mean M A S T E R P I E C E . .

now i am in tears

君は五条悟だから最強なのか、最強だから五条悟なのか is one of the hardest lines ever dropped

Read the lyrics of Hidden inventory opening song (Ao no sumika i think), the lyrics tell us Gojo last words to Geto. For those lazy to look for it, it was something among the lines of: Will we meet again?

i like how they let us see how he really just spiraled down into a descent of madness, letting the viewers actually be able to see how he thinks and how he justifies himself, it just makes the character so much more realistic and understandable, even if you don't agree with them.

I hardly ever leave a like under a video, but this one rly deserved it. Idk why but when I watched ur video I felt like it was the whole movie lol. It was a nice mini film to watch haha

Gei-toe < ge-to

''Ah yes Suguru Gayto"

one thing I see a lot of people miss but is a really nice detail is that when riko dies and the association is clapping we see geto in a blue light and gojo in red lighting showing that geto absorbed all the info that just happened to him like blue while gojo repels all the info and only focuses on getting stronger like red

I like the dynamic, though, because Toji had a similar situation as Geto, just reversed as it was Sorcerers who treated him as less-than human as opposed to non-sorcerers

i really enjoyed this video about gateou
