Jjk Ending - Blog Posts

people didn't like the jjk ending so much they jump you if you say you liked it 😭😭 mf let me live its not my fault u lack joy and whimsy !!

I keep wondering why so many fans (including myself) were bitter about the jjk ending.

Best I can think of is that it's because of the collectivist nature of the narrative -

defeating Sukuna was a collective struggle.

Jjk narrative seeks to dismantle the extreme individualism/hero-cult.

For us - a society built on the logic of hiarchy, that's a hard pill to swallow.

Gojo "winning" by having played his part in the collective struggle and having no regrets and Sukuna "losing" and thus regretting his choices that were proven wrong, choosing for the first time ever to reincarnate open to love -

... means there are no simple solutions, people can change, love, and work together no matter their personal differences.

There is no solitary evil mogul that we can pin all the evil on, and no solitary hero that we can push our own responsibility for saving the collapsing society on. No, it's our own responsibility to carry on as the new generation.

Also, there is a point of how mundane were the last two chapters before this. As if to remind us that life goes on and that there must come a time when students fly out of the nest and pick up their role as the next responsible ones.

Ah.

...

(( But i still miss Gojo, man. ))

You're telling me that Yuji didn't make sure that Gojo (and Choso... and what about Nanami?) get proper burials?

We didn't get to see it?

Gege fumbled. I’m sorry. I would say more but the stans are already glazing. When the hype dies down they’ll agree.

Thanks JJK!

I guess it's been over a week since jjk ended....wow....

I haven't been in this fandom for long, only having watched the anime in april and I couldn't wait, so I read the manga up to date in like 2 weeks....

This piece of media has had such an impact on me, pulling me in with its compelling characters I couldn't get enough of. And wherever I wished there would be a bit more interaction, a bit more emotion, someone in the fandom had created something to fill that gap.

I didn't hate the ending, yes it did leave some things to be desired but I'm happy to know the fandom has dozens of creative ways to interact with it!
