00:00:00
here is everything I dislike about
00:00:01
Shinjuku Showdown I'm not going to act
00:00:03
as if I'm inside Gay's mind so feel free
00:00:05
to explain anything you think I'm
00:00:06
misunderstanding in the comments I'm not
00:00:08
wrong though the way nobara was handled
00:00:10
with seven levels of stupid she died in
00:00:12
the third is prominent Arc without much
00:00:14
insight as to who she is so the impact
00:00:16
of her death to the reader was purely up
00:00:18
to if you liked her or not plus some
00:00:20
Rinky Dink chapter of her backstory she
00:00:22
was then given the most hobo breadcrumb
00:00:24
of hope that she's alive from [ __ ]
00:00:26
Nita not a reliable source not an expert
00:00:28
in RCT no the [ __ ] who's first seen
00:00:31
this is and I meant to trust him whose
00:00:33
man is this now obviously gig is set it
00:00:36
up and I never believed he forgot I
00:00:37
thought there was a plan but at every
00:00:39
turn this [ __ ] done everything in his
00:00:42
power to make you think she was dead
00:00:44
this [ __ ] said she was done no room for
00:00:46
ambiguity no room for fear Rising
00:00:48
straight chewing dirt Yugi asked Mega me
00:00:51
for an update somber look the same somba
00:00:54
look he gave to a mother whose son was
00:00:56
literally Dead on Arrival yuji's a dick
00:00:58
to Angel why cuz doesn't want noara to
00:01:00
be replaced why would she be getting
00:01:02
replaced if she's coming back can two
00:01:04
legends not coexist why didn't meam me
00:01:06
reassure him the chapter before she came
00:01:08
back she was next to [ __ ] that were
00:01:10
confirmed dead Gojo was always dead
00:01:12
let's not do this in more instances than
00:01:14
not you told me that she was dead but
00:01:16
the one time you said she's dead but
00:01:18
she's not dead dead is what I meant to
00:01:19
cling on to [ __ ] it though let's cling
00:01:22
then this [ __ ] gave her the worst
00:01:23
comeback possible he announced the manga
00:01:25
is ending in five chapters brought her
00:01:27
back in chapter 4 literally five minutes
00:01:30
before she's needed in perfect condition
00:01:32
being able to do some [ __ ] that she has
00:01:33
not only never done not only most of the
00:01:35
hero cast has never done but probably
00:01:37
some [ __ ] she's never heard of to do the
00:01:40
one thing in this series no one can do
00:01:42
even if we attribute her coming back
00:01:44
from a two-month coma in perfect
00:01:46
condition to because it's anime even if
00:01:48
we say that binding vows are easy to do
00:01:49
despite the only four Heroes doing so
00:01:51
being Heavy Hitters and miwa [ __ ]
00:01:53
noara doesn't have a single thing that
00:01:55
equates to zukon in his weakest State
00:01:58
it's like when miwa put all her [ __ ] to
00:02:00
hurting Kenny he doesn't know you little
00:02:01
bro be gone it's like if Eno gave his
00:02:04
life to bring back Gojo G and Suk will
00:02:06
laugh in his face and throw him out like
00:02:08
jazz the same thing with nobara there is
00:02:10
nothing you can offer that is in any way
00:02:12
equivalent to bypass an impenetrable
00:02:15
object to even Satur Gojo then you gave
00:02:17
her three lines in three chapters of an
00:02:19
entire manga worth of Mis interactions
00:02:21
and I meant to Shu and Jive for Joy like
00:02:23
yuju was missing his best friend for 2
00:02:25
months and I'm not even getting an
00:02:26
emotional I miss you ass interaction I
00:02:28
understood gig had a plan for her before
00:02:30
this dark manga I thought we'd get
00:02:32
something like the Utah resonance panel
00:02:33
instead of gaygay misleading his
00:02:35
audience for literal years then having
00:02:37
the one thing you said it wasn't be the
00:02:38
deciding factor in the climax of your
00:02:40
story that [ __ ] is weak a that ain't it
00:02:42
y'all in chapter 115 sakuna opened his
00:02:45
black box and pulled out his Flames for
00:02:47
the first time to everyone from
00:02:48
Sorcerers to curs spirits and especially
00:02:50
the fans sakuna was just a Londoner just
00:02:52
varied slashing attacks so this random
00:02:54
ass fire ability was unknown territory
00:02:57
gaygay had created a mystery for 143
00:02:59
three chapters straight we analyzed
00:03:01
prophesized and overall theorized about
00:03:03
this black box what is the black box is
00:03:05
the black box on the fire the same thing
00:03:07
or are they different how does he open
00:03:08
it etc etc etc I saw a theory saying
00:03:11
Shrine entailed people gifting him
00:03:13
techniques like an actual Shrine and the
00:03:15
flying slashes were just his go-to which
00:03:17
would have played into how despite his
00:03:18
mysterious origin his nature is to be
00:03:20
selfish and hedonistic yet ultimately
00:03:22
revered and deified by humans cured
00:03:24
spirits and Gojo alike byess for a
00:03:26
character we knew basically nothing
00:03:27
about for 259 chapters any mystery
00:03:30
around him was an opportunity for
00:03:31
insight as to who he is my [ __ ] he
00:03:34
could just do it it's just a random ass
00:03:36
fire ability no backstory no intrinsic
00:03:39
value no character development just weak
00:03:41
writing even if you disregard all the
00:03:43
fan theories and what the fans wanted it
00:03:44
to be on the most basic level of writing
00:03:47
he created a mystery where he gave the
00:03:48
main villain an attack so out of left
00:03:50
field from his main ability that
00:03:52
everyone was stomped and the payoff was
00:03:54
why not he can simply do it in even
00:03:57
simpler terms gag set up a mystery what
00:03:59
is the big blood clot fire attack and
00:04:01
the reveal was it's just a big blood
00:04:04
clot fire attack but in more detail to a
00:04:06
certain point I understand his
00:04:07
connection to him eating his brother and
00:04:09
eating humans and please don't get it
00:04:11
twisted it's a sexy little attack the
00:04:12
aura is immeasurable but taking a
00:04:14
kitchen analogy so serious when it was
00:04:16
nothing more than an example from an
00:04:17
etherial narrator and sakuna himself has
00:04:20
no relation to actual cooking literally
00:04:22
AME is the chef I can't respect it
00:04:24
you're better than that gay gay does
00:04:26
this thing where he gives characters
00:04:27
excessive leaps in their technique
00:04:28
Mega's technique is real animal plus
00:04:30
ability attack boost dogs freaky tongue
00:04:32
frog electr bird then White evolution
00:04:35
Bley roach X Jeremy Scotts demon god
00:04:37
mahara suas technique big SL little
00:04:40
slash burning hell Gojo's technique from
00:04:42
I can't let you get close to erasing
00:04:44
existence G's been doing this but these
00:04:46
are main characters and baring sakuna
00:04:48
they each have some relevance why the
00:04:50
[ __ ] can Wei swap Souls we has no
00:04:52
business swapping Souls that nigga's
00:04:53
technique is teleporting in a blanket
00:04:56
where the [ __ ] do Souls come in and yeah
00:04:58
that sucks but the main issue is house
00:04:59
used you're telling me the heroes have
00:05:01
one month to overcome insurmountable
00:05:03
odds of sukuna and Kaku and this random
00:05:05
side character secretly has the one
00:05:06
ability that can bring them up to speed
00:05:08
the niggga whose ability is teleporting
00:05:10
shall I clap my cheeks in amazement sure
00:05:13
it's clever bringing back the ingrained
00:05:14
training [ __ ] from early chapters but to
00:05:16
do it in such an easy oh by the way guys
00:05:18
plot convenience ass manner just seems
00:05:20
lazy like when the [ __ ] did he even
00:05:21
learn that but shout out to that one do
00:05:23
we need more go that that moved
00:05:25
mountains that moved me this one's
00:05:28
pretty easy in the midst of the sakuna
00:05:30
cycle controversy this [ __ ] gay decided
00:05:32
to bring back the one character that was
00:05:34
pretty much inviable to bring back not
00:05:36
just cuz his technique was self
00:05:37
admittedly destroyed but because we
00:05:38
haven't heard [ __ ] about this [ __ ]
00:05:40
since that scene Nara Maro Nara peep you
00:05:43
managed to keep nobara fans alive after
00:05:45
getting done like ID an American
00:05:46
Gangster but you can't give totto fans
00:05:48
an inkling of Hope like I understand the
00:05:50
idea of keeping info away from Yugi but
00:05:52
seen as simple as someone asking how
00:05:53
Toto's doing and Yuji saying yeah he's
00:05:55
discussing with shoko about his next
00:05:57
steps but it looks like he's going to
00:05:58
have to retire would fix a lot because
00:06:00
that sounds like some [ __ ] you'd say to
00:06:01
someone who just got out of a war in
00:06:03
turn to step sakuna but it's enough
00:06:05
ambiguity that the unshowered ones can
00:06:07
start theorizing and we've seen they
00:06:09
don't need much to start theorizing with
00:06:11
the way it's currently done while we
00:06:12
welcome our CTE Champion back looks like
00:06:15
G just needed another body to throw out
00:06:16
a king of curses I'm going to keep this
00:06:18
one brief because it's extremely meta
00:06:20
with no active solution but the manga
00:06:22
basically being bi-weekly hurt the
00:06:23
pacing like I understand is for the
00:06:25
editor team's health and I'm not saying
00:06:26
to stop for my enjoyment but looking at
00:06:28
it from a viewing perspective there were
00:06:30
seldom opportunities where breaks were
00:06:31
created and used to extend tension at
00:06:33
the end of a chapter like Miguel coming
00:06:35
back was interesting and all but I
00:06:36
didn't need to wait 2 weeks to see him
00:06:37
do his little dance kinjaku defeated
00:06:40
Satur Gojo murdered Yuki sukumo sealed
00:06:43
Roman suuk started the Ken games was the
00:06:45
strongest in the verse for all time was
00:06:47
the third strongest in the verse all
00:06:49
time has the highest knowledge of jusu
00:06:51
in the verse has three curse techniques
00:06:53
his my hot take has a domain equally as
00:06:55
refined as saturo and sakuna was set up
00:06:57
to fight the fourth strongest in the
00:06:59
verse consumed the cursed Spirit of the
00:07:01
talent of Satur Gojo created a sorcerer
00:07:03
of the talent of Satur Gojo is the
00:07:05
entire reason the plot is happening
00:07:07
three times over but in the final Arc
00:07:10
lost in a three chapter fight his only
00:07:12
three chapters of screen time by the way
00:07:14
they literally threw away his thousand
00:07:15
years of jiutu for this [ __ ] gorilla
00:07:18
faed bastard in a shitty interesting
00:07:19
fight but Kaku just wanted to have fun I
00:07:22
don't care I don't care I can't lie this
00:07:25
is the worst one it genuinely pisses me
00:07:27
off the MCU does this dumb [ __ ] where
00:07:29
they'll try to blow up the Earth in most
00:07:31
movies as if they haven't announced six
00:07:33
more Captain America's coming and we
00:07:34
know that [ __ ] is only in two places on
00:07:36
the Hella carrier posted up like too or
00:07:38
an international waters way he doesn't
00:07:40
belong either way we know the Earth's
00:07:42
not getting blown up the stakes are so
00:07:44
high that it's unrealistic to believe it
00:07:45
will happen now the merger is absorbing
00:07:48
every Japanese Soul into one Titanic
00:07:50
being that will go on to destroy the
00:07:51
Earth in a
00:07:53
Shonen teeth and Palms the merger was
00:07:56
never a tangible threat to the fans
00:07:58
because we knew that [ __ ] was not going
00:07:59
to happen G is not bad enough to make
00:08:01
the heroes lose and that's fine but when
00:08:03
the main goal of the main villain is
00:08:05
never a tangible threat that makes said
00:08:07
villain even less of a tangible threat
00:08:09
cuz he's not better than a merger now
00:08:11
when the merger got to sakuna hand it
00:08:13
became more of a threat because of
00:08:14
sakuna duuc to Innovation and
00:08:16
willingness to fight dirty there's a
00:08:18
plausible scenario where the merger can
00:08:19
happen and the heroes not instantly lose
00:08:21
but a that means kaku's Ro is diminished
00:08:24
making him no longer that guy which we
00:08:26
know by his ending but more importantly
00:08:28
B it doesn't matter because it wasn't
00:08:30
used anyway tenang got spit up like a
00:08:32
choking baby that one time and we forgot
00:08:35
about it two panels later so please tell
00:08:37
me at any point when should I have felt
00:08:39
scared for the merger see other shans of
00:08:41
grandio goals have some caveat that fit
00:08:43
into the story see Naruto mad's goal was
00:08:46
to put everyone into a coma if the
00:08:47
sukumi just instantly killed everyone
00:08:49
we'd know that [ __ ] isn't getting cast
00:08:51
it's [ __ ] Naruto but even once the
00:08:53
sukumi was cast and they beat mad Sasuke
00:08:56
used it to make a play at the sleeping
00:08:57
Cargate the main threat of the series
00:08:59
was used to end the series in jjk the
00:09:02
merger had no real Stakes it was just a
00:09:03
thing that Kaki wanted to do and if you
00:09:05
say they just wanted to have fun I'm
00:09:07
going do you like DOA gets done for the
00:09:09
ride down this is got to be it I really
00:09:11
like Kimo as a character like he's one
00:09:13
of my favorites but for the strongest
00:09:14
middle child in history whose Destiny
00:09:16
was to use his onetime technique to kill
00:09:18
sakuna it being pure Aura and just
00:09:20
instant death touch seemed so lazy it's
00:09:22
like Klay Thompson having all that aura
00:09:24
for his return just to go 3 for eight in
00:09:25
the game I will say maybe I just don't
00:09:27
understand the science behind it because
00:09:29
I don't care that much but for the
00:09:30
creativity gig puts into his abilities a
00:09:33
single use hidden ability should have
00:09:34
had more kick to it rather than just
00:09:36
evil going X adult killer a fanfic you
00:09:39
know what fair enough this [ __ ] G loves
00:09:40
his Hunter Hunter maybe this is just me
00:09:42
overthinking the importance of character
00:09:44
design but designs are supposed to
00:09:46
indicate a lot about a character in
00:09:47
Hunter Hunter G's green represents his
00:09:49
affinity for nature kindheartedness and
00:09:51
almost animal- likee instincts SOA is
00:09:53
portrayed as a demon while ultimately
00:09:55
being a human Simone and simbad have
00:09:57
unlimited drip sas's ini Navy and white
00:10:00
layered outfit represents his openly
00:10:01
dark natures and intentions while
00:10:03
indicating his underlying want for
00:10:05
connection love and overall Li of life
00:10:07
so when the main character of the series
00:10:09
who was talking about eating demons
00:10:11
being a monster and being a cog in a
00:10:12
NeverEnding War gets these overly
00:10:14
designed sakuna hand demon- esque arms
00:10:17
the [ __ ] do you mean they don't mean
00:10:18
anything no power up no relevance to the
00:10:20
main character again the brother was
00:10:23
talking about eating demons to kill
00:10:24
sakuna then was separated from sakuna
00:10:26
giving him a chance to kill him then was
00:10:28
revealed to have a four armed four-eyed
00:10:30
double tonged uncle and he just borrowed
00:10:32
UT's gloves plus five defense and some
00:10:34
drip I'm not so much of a hater to say
00:10:36
it's bad writing but it is underwhelming
00:10:39
sakuna got two endings after receiving a
00:10:41
Specs level jumping from Yuji higuma UTA
00:10:44
meami too Hana kusakabe mayay laru Maki
00:10:50
choso miwa the shyy sorcerer nanami's
00:10:53
dead Spirit kashim Mo inumaki judg man
00:10:56
Gojo Fang girls [ __ ] who think G can't
00:10:58
write too pins Bubba and a couple former
00:11:01
presidents sakuna faded to the Wasteland
00:11:03
in yuji's arms rejecting another chance
00:11:05
at life where he doesn't get to live as
00:11:07
he truly was a curse the Final Chapter
00:11:10
then had his final appearance with him
00:11:11
reconsidering how he lived his life and
00:11:13
considering being a different man if he
00:11:14
were given the chance I don't like this
00:11:16
second ending it's not that I don't
00:11:18
think gaygay can write this time but
00:11:20
it's that it doesn't work with his
00:11:22
character the ending portray sukuna as a
00:11:24
character who only lived as he could as
00:11:25
if he knew nothing else as if sukuna all
00:11:28
along was just a broken child a victim
00:11:30
of circumstance but that's not him he's
00:11:32
an extremely introspective character
00:11:34
he's not just a standard Kachi smoke
00:11:35
demon archetype he's a thinker he's been
00:11:37
forced to explain his ideologies
00:11:39
multiple times and has never shown an
00:11:40
incling of hesitation in his conjecture
00:11:43
not to Joo not to kosimo even when he
00:11:45
was in yuji's domain on the precipice of
00:11:47
death by Spider-Man syndrome whole
00:11:49
[ __ ] chapter of Yuji begging this
00:11:50
[ __ ] to be normal telling him those
00:11:52
other valid Lifestyles and perspectives
00:11:54
that he can choose to live like all he
00:11:55
has to do is choose this [ __ ] looked
00:11:57
him dead in his eyes and told him I hear
00:11:59
everything you're saying but not a
00:12:01
single light is clicking I don't care
00:12:03
about that [ __ ] but all of a sudden
00:12:04
maybe yui was right now he wants to be a
00:12:06
good mother and he wants to be your wife
00:12:08
it didn't add up after six mind frying
00:12:10
domain expansions it didn't add up after
00:12:12
the ultimate team effort it didn't add
00:12:14
up when you were blobbing the ground
00:12:15
dying from set team effort so
00:12:17
subsequently it doesn't add up for who
00:12:18
you've established sakuna to be he's
00:12:20
consistently portrayed as evil malicious
00:12:23
not a victim not a Survivor remember
00:12:25
when his first words were about Griffith
00:12:27
activities when he held two 15year old
00:12:29
was hostage killed another murdered an
00:12:31
entire town for funsies adding Rami in
00:12:34
there didn't change my mind on him and
00:12:35
on that my [ __ ] you can't imply that
00:12:38
their father and daughter when you had
00:12:39
her eyeball in straight dick there
00:12:41
hasn't been anything to show that sukuna
00:12:43
cares about urami like her daughter now
00:12:45
I don't need him throwing up crying
00:12:46
whenever Gojo hit her but look at him he
00:12:48
doesn't give a [ __ ] she's just a servant
00:12:51
not even Jeffrey from Fresh Prince but
00:12:52
Alfred from Cape Crusader so once again
00:12:55
as a lot of plot lines in this story go
00:12:57
what could have been a compelling line
00:12:58
of the development was fumbled by a lack
00:13:00
of development from gagay yeah I li at
00:13:03
the start it's bad writing bad writing
00:13:05
this bad writing that in an arc littered
00:13:08
with plot convenience flaw
00:13:09
characterizations and a desperate need
00:13:11
for a part two I don't want you to think
00:13:12
that gig is a bad writer the heart of a
00:13:15
lot of the complaints were missed
00:13:16
opportunities but that being a matter of
00:13:18
perspective implies that they were more
00:13:19
important to us than gagay story now the
00:13:22
discussion between servicing the fans
00:13:23
and writing your own story is a
00:13:25
different discussion entirely and it's
00:13:26
undeniable that gig has the ability to
00:13:28
create a global Phenom of a story that
00:13:30
has impacted manga now and until the
00:13:32
next big thing comes along but for
00:13:33
everything I mentioned and for
00:13:35
everything I didn't notably hikara
00:13:37
surviving kusakabe surviving the clan
00:13:40
war being introduced late new Shadow
00:13:42
style politics Utah surviving the
00:13:44
unanswered question of the next stage of
00:13:45
human evolution Jin being tuna's brother
00:13:48
and probably some more if I could think
00:13:49
of him for everything I didn't like
00:13:51
Shinjuku Showdown is the worst major arc
00:13:53
in jjk okay that's the video bye
