The Redemption of Choso 

The man is built different/better for the blood technique

Poor Kamo got shafted so hard. I love and prefer Choso but feel bad for Kamo that never got time to shine, Maki too the spotlight during their fight.

@@therapist2852 the only clan head remaining at this point, there really is no competition lol

@@SemekiIzuio lol i guess completely forgot zenin clan doesnt exist anymore

Being a curse is kinda op, Naoya got a super powerful domain, and had every stat increased

First?

​@@vmonsoon7400the first is also choso XD

@@theonethatgotaway3475 Gotcha 😂

Yeah he’s really unique

Aside from Nanami, Gojo (obvious), I really liked Choso too

same that really sold me on him

Same here, added so much more complexity to him. Hopefully he shows up more in the story.

Same

Indeed

"you didn't love your brothers, and I can't understand that." Like a parent that isn't mad, just disappointed. Hits really hard.

oh, oh no.

Uh oh.

It's actually "Blood of the water is thicker than the covenant of the womb"

The original has always been "blood is thicker than water". "Blood of the covenant" is a modern rendition based on a misreading of an arabic proverb that goes along the lines of "blood is thicker than milk", granted it does in essence the same as the "blood of the covenant" version. But it was always "blood is thicker than water".

“🤓”

Came down here to say that as well.

How Fitting for choso

I read a comment somewhere that said it could be a way of cleansing the Kamo clan by naming the current Noritoshi so that his good deeds would overshadow the evilness of the previous Noritoshi

@@SomethingSomething-MonthOfMay The latest chapter (199) pretty much confirms this. Although his mother was doing it mostly as an act of rebellion.

@@klickonthat5244which is just so sad. She hasn’t seen him in so Lomb

He's going down the full gotouge route this final battle

yeah with the todo fakeout and the flashbacks seem so fever dreamy you dont even understand whats going on

Why don't you make your own videos if you intent to critique the man's work. Or even better offer to help edit the content instead of coming off as a passive aggressive ass.

i disagree on the nothing to be redeemed from part, he killed a bunch of people in Shybuia. Being relatable doesn't exclude someone from being a villain. I agree with the rest of what you said.

​@@coca_0146Killed a bunch of people? So what? Humans kill curses all the time, they even use them as genue pigs and experiments, and even use them to test students like in the goodwill event. Some curse users have powers that capture and manipulate curses and use them as sacrifices and weapons in battle like Geto. Humans don't care about the lives of curses, why should a curse care about a human's life? If humans don't need redemption for what they do to curses, then why do curses need redemption for what they do to humans?

I disagree. "Choso doesn't need a redemption because he was sympathetic and relatable from the start. He was never a villain. And anyone that ever hated Choso or his brothers needs to learn to read." No, that just means those people don't like characters that do morally wrong things. I don't hate them, in fact I like Choso, but that's just wrong statement. And it is technically redemption. Because even Choso knew he did bad things and was willing to give away his life to redeem himself. But Yuki allowed him to keep on living, as a human this time. So the choice is 100% correct.

@@TheSoulCalledZuzia Again, I disagree. Choso blames himself, like how people in real life often blame themselves for things that were inflicted on them. Choso and his brothers are victims of Kenjakus schemes and Choso is mentally tormented because of it. Choso feels he needs redemption. But for the viewer, he does NOT. Because the viewer gets the necessary context and perspective to retroactively understand Chosos actions. It is not redemption, but rather a revelation if that makes sense? Like, the more information we had revealed on Chosos circumstances and the more character exploration we got for him, the more it made sense and the harder it was to blame him for this stuff. I agree Choso did morally wrong things, but if a LITERAL CHILD was abused and manipulated by an adult to do certain things, would we blame the child? No, we blame the adult. Choso is basically that. That is what I mean by saying redemption isn't the right word. People that think Choso needs to redeem himself to become a character they can support either didn't read far enough yet or missed the point entirely with Chosos character exploration. As it reframes his actions into that of a victim of his circumstances. A confused, depressed child used to commit terrible acts, now drowning in guilt and blaming himself most of all. That is not called redemption, it's called understanding. Someone like Toji who was willing to kill anyone with no regard for morality, he would need redemption for his acts to be forgiven as he was in full mental control of his terrible acts. But, and that's why Toji is a great example, when it comes to him being a dead beat dad, once we got the context that Toji sold Megumi because he believed Megumis life would be better that way, NOT because he wanted to get rid of him, Toji did NOT "redeeem" himself as a father. He got "recontexualized" as a father and we learned he wasn't actually that bad of a father after all. The same goes for Choso. New information and insight on his personality recontexualized his crimes. He was never redeemed, we just didn't fully understand him beforehand, which is where the antagonistic disposition came from. Hope this huge comment, if you even bother to read it, cleared up my thinking and shows you why I believe the word redeem doesn't fit, but rather something like recontexualization or a proper understanding which has been reached for the character. Oh and one more note. As stated in the original comment, but I wanna explain it more explicitely, Choso was never meant to be a villain from a STORYTELLING perspective. Realistically, he is a murderer, but the context makes it more of a tragedy rather than him being a villain. So no redemption needed either way. But from the perspective of a STORY, Choso was 100% intended to be relatable, understandable and someone you never criticise in his decisions, as they are all understandable and everything, even him killing random humans, is given a reason and context, just gotta properly read it and remember it.

Maybe but sadly I don’t think his last younger brother yuji is going to get the same treatment.

@@D.A.F.O :(

@@AtomicPineapple23 I'm sorry. :(

@@D.A.F.O he died as a human 😭

You needed this video to fall in love with Choso? I loved him since the Yuji fight, he's one of the most we'll rounded characters in terms of ability.

@@vmonsoon7400 i definitely thought he was cool but seeing his oniichan mode made him even cooler

Gege is listing

It's kinda hard to beat aki's death imo

here a year later, praying for this to be wrong

lmfao

Maybe it works like sporadic gene mutations, one guy randomly gets it and passes it down to his family, placing artificial selection towards that specific trait

@@erikpaulsanchez4876 that's definitely possible maybe that's why that lawyer guy that yuji fought was so strong and talented without being from a special family.

@@izzymosley1970 i see it as being like cursed spirits that are linked to a specific thing. Most curses are just the byproduct of CE randomly aglomerating but sometimes people's negativity towards a specific thing causes a curse specific to it to be born, so i think sorcerer's ct would be the same, Nobara's ct is based around japanese folklore, Higuruma's is based around law, Naobito's ct is based around animation and is said to be recent(him being the first user), Panda even mentions how as society changes new ct's are born and that the higher ups tend to valorize traditional ct's and despise modern ones and that this is why they hate Hakari.

:(

I would add kashimo and toji

I doubt it, mainly because Gege would've hinted at or explored the possibilities if that was the case. Seems more like Todo is just naturally strong as a sorcerer and the flashback was Todo being Todo.

he better
