Let me tell you guys a story.
Today i had a math test in school and since i was so sure of Gojo's return I decided to not read the leaks when i woke up but rather wait until i had returned home, you know like a little treat after writting a difficult test. After the test was done i actually ended up going out with some friends and just hanging out for a bit. Well while hanging out, one of my friends noticed a post from one of their friends saying that Gojo was done. I freeze, how could this have happened? I had invested so much in this agenda and not only was it all crumbling around me but i didn't even get to look at the leaks myself first. I got spoiled by a friend of friend.
I rush back home to check the leaks as defeat, sadness and rage all fill my body. Even still i held on to some hope, some hope that maybe we interpreted the post wrong and there was still a chance of Gojo's return. I open the door, rush to my computer and check Discord and sure enough, it wasn't Gojo. Normally i would have been furious, how could Gregory Akutami do this to me he had already taken so much that i'd loved and now he just took away my favourite thing in the series for a second time. But i wasn't mad for some reason.
I begun to think, maybe JJK doesn't need Gojo front and center to be a great series. Maybe my hype and agenda had blinded me from other equally interesting possibilities for the story to go. Gojo died 8 months ago, at a time when i was just starting the most academically difficult and tiring school year of my life and despite how much shit i give the series, reading JJK weekly and watching as season 2 was coming out was one of the things that kept pulling me through the tough days. And theorising about Gojo's return was one of the most engaging things. Trying to pull together every little piece of symbolism and eveidence to find some semblence of a reason for his return was just so fun and really isn't that the reason for any piece of media's existance? Fun, it is fun reading JJK despite the frustration, it is fun theorizing and trying to outwite Gege
@M3X_2.0 congrats for finally getting that Yuta W and
@Sir_sun_man i admit defeat, Gojo is dead
