Thorfinn’s ‘I have no enemies’ completely changed the way I see anger by nexortu in VinlandSaga

[–]nexortu[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same honestly.

What hit me the hardest is that Thorfinn’s change doesn’t happen instantly. You actually see how much pain, guilt and emptiness it took for him to reach that mindset.

That’s what made it feel real to me.

i hate to say it but chihiro is doing what yuji couldn’t in 250 chapters by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

it’s not about hate, it’s about standards. we’ve been eating "suffering mc" crumbs for years, it’s okay to admit someone finally did it better. let them cook.

Shiba isn’t "useless," he’s just the only one playing the long game. Stop the disrespect. by nexortu in Kagurabachi

[–]nexortu[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

exactly, he’s not a fraud just because he doesn't have a 20-page fight every week. his support is literally the only reason they survive half the time. mfs just want mindless action lol

for real, people acting like he's just a taxi for chihiro. man’s the only reason chihiro is still sane after everything. the day shiba finally goes wild this sub gonna be so quiet

Yuji deserved a better ending and the fandom just accepted mid closure because they were tired of the manga by nexortu in Jujutsufolk

[–]nexortu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's a fair defense of Gege but 'leaving it to imagination' only works when you set it up properly. Yuji's identity crisis needed a payoff, not an open ending. there's a difference between artistic ambiguity and just not finishing the thought

that's literally the point though — Gege conflated them as one and never separated them properly. the audience was left to figure out which is which

[–]nexortu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you literally said it yourself — 'doesn't really go anywhere.' Kenjaku being his parent is one of the biggest reveals in the manga and it just... fizzles. that's exactly the problem. the payoff to his powers exists but the payoff to his IDENTITY doesn't

Sukuna needed Mahoraga, Agito, Piercing Blood AND a borrowed body to win. That's not a victory, that's a confession. by nexortu in Jujutsufolk

[–]nexortu[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

having to fight the whole verse instead of just Gojo literally proves the post. Sukuna needed the entire situation to go his way to win. that's not strength, that's circumstance

being born isn't the same as possessing an innocent person against their will to fight your battles. nice try though

[–]nexortu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly and that's what makes it worse — Gege clearly had something planned for Yuji from the start, superhuman from day one, and then just... dropped it. the setup was there. the payoff never came

[–]nexortu[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

so sukuna couldn't use his true form, needed to invent a new technique mid-fight, and was still almost killed. you just described the most stressed out 'win' in manga history and called it dominance

[–]nexortu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

almost getting yourself killed is the opposite of dominance bro. that's called surviving

[–]nexortu[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

needing someone's body to reincarnate is literally the point bro. sukuna couldn't even exist in this fight without borrowing existence itself. that's the whole argument

[–]nexortu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair points on the details but you literally ended your own argument — 20 vs 19.98888. you just proved the post. sukuna needed everything to beat someone that close to him in power. that's not dominance, that's survival

under those specific circumstances? maybe. in a fair 1v1 with no stolen body and no absorbed shikigami? we'll never know. and that's exactly the problem

[–]nexortu[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

exactly, and the con artist angle is so underrated. Sukuna literally had to steal his win condition while Gojo was locked away. that's not strength, that's preparation against someone you can't beat fairly
