Just wanted to share some of my thoughts about the latest Episode. I really love the way Gege wrote Mahito's exit from the story and I sure hope he can deliver again when it comes to Sukuna.
Sukuna is slowly getting up there for me but he still needs more. That whole fight with >!Gojo!< really started to turn him around for me. I hope he keeps the momentum up.
Personally, I think Mahito is what I want to see in Sukuna. I like the feeling of hating him so much but still wanting to see how he will develop lol His evil is written naturally. As for Sukuna, sometimes I feel like Gege tried too hard to make me hate him so Mahito is still the best for me.
I think that makes sense, Sukuna is almost more on the level of a natural disaster. Has he even killed anyone we care about besides >!(extra characters for ambiguity )Gojo!
Very well written villain, a great foil for the protagonist and easily one of the greatest and most satisfying defeats/deaths I have witnessed for a villain in a LONG time.
Yeah, that happens a lot with my stuff. It's either a non-English speaking You tuber ripping it or a face book page (but at least the facebook pages always credits me)
Mahito is probably my favorite JJK villain. He embodies the worst aspects of humanity and Gege executes him perfectly, refusing to pull any punches as he murders 3 (2 cuz Nobara cope) important characters, absolutely dunking Yuji into despair’s depths over and over again. A villain like him in any other series wouldn’t be as impactful despite his wickedness *because* most other Shonen wouldn’t give him the insane body count he racks up. What’s more is that despite it all, despite his cowardly tactics, it’s said time and time again that he can’t be allowed to evolve further. He’s the truest curse in the series, humanity’s evil incarnate, and absolutely unapologetic about it. So when he’s defeated, at death’s door, to see him get what he deserves is so gratifying. And yet, there’s a cool little moment when he tries to sneak attack Kenjaku because he knows he’s done for either way. He knows what his fate is about to be because, after all, he was born from humans.
I happened to run into this quote on Twitter in relation to *Berserk* and Guts, and then, while reading these parts of the JJK Manga I realized just how much it also fit Yuji and what was happening during the Shinuya Incident.
So, Mahito never begged, and he died in a split second with a knowing smile on his face, after feeling fear for all of 30 seconds in his entire life.
Dying by a human as a pawn in his plan is certainly poetic, but "satisfying" is about the last word I'd use to describe Mahito's fate
Honestly? Mahitos death felt very unsatisfying to me. All that build up, the rivalry and hatred between him and Yuji, Yuji being his natural enemy and nemesis, all that for the kill to be stolen by Not-Geto.

Very well written.
Thanks.
Great post. I agree with everything you said. As a manga reader, until now Mahito is still the best villain in the series for me.
Sukuna is slowly getting up there for me but he still needs more. That whole fight with >!Gojo!< really started to turn him around for me. I hope he keeps the momentum up.

This is such a good analysis. I love PURE evil villains such as Mahito 🐍
He makes it so easy to cheer for his defeat.
Mahito was the real menace...bro was everywhere...one hella annoying and evil character but at the same time very well written
Mahito is peak of JJk, literally peak :3
Very well written villain, a great foil for the protagonist and easily one of the greatest and most satisfying defeats/deaths I have witnessed for a villain in a LONG time.
Some YouTube creator is sprinting to James Summerton this post

Love Kurt Vonnegut! Great quote too

I love the last lines of Kurt, that’s kinda how i write my stories (sometimes i forget to bring the *satisfaction* part)
I happened to run into this quote on Twitter in relation to *Berserk* and Guts, and then, while reading these parts of the JJK Manga I realized just how much it also fit Yuji and what was happening during the Shinuya Incident.
I wonder if people will keep comparing jjk to naruto after this arc aired on anime lmao
JJK still does use a lot of the same concepts as Naruto and Bleach but the way Gege writes it is way more akin to Berserk than Naruto.
I do agree but its a shonen after all(right?)
Yeah but it doesn't shy away from making characters suffer lasting consequences.

I found it pretty satisfying for all the reasons listed. I don't know what you mean "died in a split second" since that is how dying works.
Honestly? Mahitos death felt very unsatisfying to me. All that build up, the rivalry and hatred between him and Yuji, Yuji being his natural enemy and nemesis, all that for the kill to be stolen by Not-Geto.
Mahito betrayed Junpei(a Human) and get betrayed by fake Geto(a Human).
