MY MAN

“I was there too”

he's so clingy

(comm info/ kofi support)

class of 2007 what is your wisdom

He's never beating the misogyny allegations after Yorozu

only reason this cat's still beating the misogyny allegations is because maki exists

Can you do a break down of the meaning of Gojo's chants?

The left image is the chant for Red, while the right is for Blue/Azure.

位相 (isou) means "phase" just like in the official translation. This indicates the start of his chant, 'opening' certain technique.

波羅蜜 (haramitsu), meaning "paramita". From the Buddhist root, it refers to the culmination of certain virtues. It also refers to the practice of one bodhisattva to reach enlightenment.

光の柱 (hikari no hashira), "pillar of light". Probably refers to the sun pillar phenomenon, which appears because sunrays is reflected by miniscule ice crystal in the atmosphere. The light is reflected back to earth by the crystal, causing the phenomenon.

黄昏 (tasogare) means "dusk" or "twilight".

智慧の瞳 (chie no hitomi), "eyes of prajna". Prajna or wisdom in Buddhism is the ability to discern things and there are several types of it. There is also 智慧光 (chiekou), which is one of twelve lights of Amitabha Buddha that destroy the darkness of ignorance of living things. It is interesting to pair tasogare with chie no hitomi since the root for tasogare means a time when others can't discern the face of other people. So, from unclear to become clear.

I have done a breakdown for the chant of Purple/Murasaki, which you can read here

diffusion

gojo purposefully teaches and interacts with each of his students based on their personalities and how he thinks they would best learn and absorb information.

with yuuji it was movies and anime/pop culture analogies to understand and control his cursed energy. plus of course hands on training and combat for all of them.

with yuuta he was both logical and empathetic, cs yuta is both. he leverages yuta's sense of responsibility to help him both break his curse with Rika, and learn how to control it.

and i always see people reference gojo saying 'yikes you're kinda gloomy' in response to yuta saying he tried to kill himself as gojo being rude and insenstive. while gojo can often be rude, in this case i do believe he's trying to make light of the situation.

it's more awkward IMO! when someone pities/babies you in this situation.. making a joke/being normal is a better response, and i think that's what he was doing, trying to make yuta feel better.

with megumi i believe he was the most straighforward. megumi does not care for small talk or sugarcoating things amd beating around the bush. no matter the situation. and gojo knows this cs they've known each for 10+ yrs now. he knows how to talk to megumi and get through to him in a way that'll hit home.

their relationship seems cut and dry cs megumi is stoic and not affectionate and gojo respects that, most of the time 😄 gojo cared enough to put yuji in the room next to megumi cs he knows megumi is reclusive, so that he can make friends.

i agree gojo and megumi's relationship is more of an annoying older brother than father-son, and i love it when they bicker. anyway, i wish we could've seen more gojogumi interactions in the years they knew each. but gege man..
