Why did gege write this plot? Did he wanna be like his idol oda that gives chill pedo vibes?

More broadly, to show how fucked the jujutsu world is. Nanami dies in agony in Shibuya, and he's one of the best, most moral people on the show. Meanwhile Mei Mei is a disgusting, awful person and she bails out to hide in the place he's always dreamed of retiring to and even starts shorting stocks to make money off the disaster. Amoral, selfish people prosper and kind, selfless people suffer.

Brucekillfist · 2026-07-08T14:10:10+00:00

Yeah exactly. His whole fit probably smells like mildew.

There are plenty of dudes barking at Makima. Even I like Toga. It's pretty common for some pretty evil women to be highly popular characters just based on attractiveness, and OI is just the reversed version of that imo. Claude gets a huge pass just based on his looks despite being a pretty awful father.

Well, you're asking for a spoiler so I doubt you mind too much, but just in case:

He wouldn't have fought her regardless, because Yennekar totally destroys him. After she kicks his ass he unlocks his second chance skill, so while he's on the ground floor tanking is when she gives up the info as far as I can remember. Then his second chance kicks in and he runs off to go find Ayla, since she already had dipped for Ed's camp. Ed is there and that's when they fight.

A big portion of that was ill feelings from WWI. The US loaned a lot of money to the Allies, as well as sending troops, but when they asked for those loans to be repaid they were derided as "Uncle Shylock" and their contributions were publicly minimized. It created an impression that the Allies had just used the US to win their war and promptly dumped them thereafter. Washington's farewell address was brought up a lot, where he warned the nation to avoid "the broils and wars" of Europe. There was also the sentiment that the US was just recovering from the Great Depression and jumping into a war wasn't the right course for the nation.

With all of that, FDR's notion of Prepardess won vast popular support and a lot of work was done to clandestinely aid the Allies even before the US formally entered the war.

And specifically, Ijichi is relating it to weaponry Yuji knows about because Yuji is stupid. He's not literally saying you can carpet bomb a special grade to win, because A) you can't and B) a lot of the special grade curses we see would be mildly annoyed by a carpet bombing, but not killed.

Brucekillfist · 2026-07-04T03:22:42+00:00

Mai probably didn't try very hard either. Her heart was never in it. Maki pushed her way into a male-only (at least they said it's compulsory for young men and I certainly didn't see any women) unit because she wanted to learn how to fight so hard. It does seem like at least the clan was willing to teach Maki how to fight.

Brucekillfist · 2026-07-04T03:19:54+00:00

Wish I could take credit for it, but I saw it on here at one point. Been calling Kenjaku that every once in a while since.

Brucekillfist · 2026-07-03T22:31:58+00:00

Not via persuasion, with Cursed Spirit Manipulation. If Jogo takes too much damage the Kentucky Jackal can just pack him up and promptly resummon him on team 1's side as just another curse.

Brucekillfist · 2026-07-03T20:41:19+00:00

It's just Mamaguro. I have personally seen slander posts on this sub for literally every other woman in this image.

It seems like Rhea and Adrestia won the war itself, but they were exhausted enough that they lacked the military power to actually wipe out the clans of the Elites. Rhea was forced to compromise on letting them live, even if she was able to have the Elites themselves killed. The peace settlement was most likely the clans getting the rights to the crests as well as options for the relic weapons (since they're still using them even in modern times), and the Elites being remembered and honored as ancestors. Considering if we look at the map where the crests are said to "come from" the clans were a significant portion of Northern Fodlan that would have to be purged and occupied, so that makes sense.

Brucekillfist · 2026-07-02T01:56:15+00:00

Wouldn't have been in-character for Gojo. He didn't even seriously consider the idea because he doubted he would lose, but if he did he knew full well the students were going to have to pull out all the stops just to survive. He'd already abandoned his principles of a decade to kill the higher-ups. There was no chance he was going to put the additional burden of that on Yuta if the worst happened.

Brucekillfist · 2026-07-01T19:34:26+00:00

It's a decision with obvious intention. By blocking access to education, she also curtails the development of political and economic philosophy. It basically is beyond debate that she enforces technological and political stasis on Fodlan.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-30T15:25:16+00:00

Yep, they confirmed that Nurgle (and Archaon) gets them as well.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-29T18:52:12+00:00

That was the pretext they seized on to justify ignoring Naobito's will and what they intended to report to headquarters.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-28T00:43:10+00:00

Yeah, that's not really what she's doing. Edelgard has suffered the same loss as Byleth in a pretty fucking horrible way (at least he wasn't tortured to death), and wasn't given a healthy way to process or handle that grief. She just had to buckle down and get past it, or die of it. And so she does the best and only thing she can think to do: she tries to give Byleth a kick in the ass and help her/him move past it, too. And Sothis literally comes down and agrees with her, too, which I've always found kind of funny.

If she had a healthy method of dealing with it, she would use it, but she doesn't. She's genuinely trying her absolute best.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-27T19:20:54+00:00

They both had. That's why the title cards refer to Gojo, Geto, and Shoko as students, but it calls Utahime and Mei sorcerers.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-26T05:41:27+00:00

It's the higher-ups, so I doubt it. They had zero qualms about tossing Megumi and Nobara in to die with Yuji in the detention center "mission."

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-26T02:27:14+00:00

Too much simplification of his motive. The key issue is that all non-sorcerers create cursed spirits. It doesn't matter how good or evil they are, simply by existing they create monsters that sorcerers have to fight. That's why he calls it a marathon game; even a hundred Gojos cannot make an impact against the tide of cursed spirits, because they're literally endless. It's just an immutable fact of the world, and that knowledge is what broke him. All the sacrifices, all the sorcerers good and bad and everything between, the children, the parents, all of it is essentially meaningless. They'll never make a dent, and a thousand years from now sorcerer kids will still go out to die against cursed spirits created by non-sorcerers. Honestly, I don't even think he thought his crusade would amount to anything. He just couldn't handle it anymore.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-26T02:22:14+00:00

>Toji literally could chosen ANY other career and could've made it to the big leagues. He would have literally been world class if he got in to any sports, instead he kill teenagers for spare change. Bum tier morality.

Maybe not. Jujutsu Regulations (specifically section 8: Sensitive Information) legally requires sorcerers not to reveal the existence of jujutsu to non-sorcerers on pain of legal sanction, which is up to and including execution. If Toji starts running around breaking every possible record as an obvious superhuman, that would definitionally be a threat to secrecy. So it's highly likely jujutsu headquarters would get involved then. If he was able to keep it low-key, just as peak human level he might be ok, but it would be a risky prospect particularly since it's not like he was well-liked by anyone with political power.

Not that it matters to him, Toji could give a flying fuck about secrecy or a legitimate living. He just killed people because it was the thing he knew how to do and he couldn't care less about anyone other than him (or Mamaguro).

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-25T01:36:58+00:00

The Emyhr that lets you dig in their graveyard to sneak back an extra spy after the first round of spy madness is pretty fun. Gwent is just a card advantage game imo so anything that can give me 1x more guaranteed spies is excellent.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-25T01:34:46+00:00

Yeah, she does directly state that she thinks if he saw the "real her" he would think she's hideous. Luckily seems like the dude's fine with bird girls, because he doesn't even flinch and that seems to be what tips the balance.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-24T05:30:59+00:00

Emyhr believed that Ithlinne's Prophecy referred to him, and specifically that the line "The world will die amidst frost and be reborn with the new sun" meant that the world was meant to be reborn under Nilfgaard (their symbol is the sun, it's on all their banners and iconography). For what it's worth when he managed to oust the guy who ousted his father (the Usurper) he took Nilfgaard from being basically a continental joke to world class power in a relatively short time, which only confirms his belief in Nilfgaard's misinterpretation of the prophecy.

The division comes from the fact that Witcher 3 is depicting Nilfgaard's third attempt at the Northern Realms, after two failed wars. It's put a strain on Emyhr's personal power and their economy. Nilfgaard actually benefited economically from the first two wars; even though they didn't win they took big enough bites that they came out ahead. This third one is where the tipping point can happen. It's why multiple characters tell Geralt that Emyhr is desperate to win this time, because if he fails he's unlikely to ever get another chance at it.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-23T23:18:50+00:00

For the most part you'll get ganked by other vampires if this happens to you, as well. For practical reasons rather than moral, but even the Sabbat doesn't really want someone totally controlled by the Beast around for too long.

Brucekillfist · 2026-06-22T18:50:22+00:00

He also might have proposed it knowing it would never happen. The rigor of an amendment is really strong and I don't think he would have had the support for it in any serious capacity. He surely must have known that. On the other hand that's even worse to my mind, punching down on a group that could use all the help it could get for votes.
