‪does anyone have that image of a facebook post of naurto car rp accounts that said some shit like “naruto carzumaki married sasuke broomchiha” i need it state it’s an emergency ‬

the parallel of getou saying gojou was his best friend, his one and only in past tense and gojou saying the same thing about getou but in present tense. in getou’s deathbed he says he didn’t imagine gojou still having any trust on him after all they went through and then in gojou’s death we see that all gojou ever wanted was to have getou by his side. getou thought everything was lost between them, that it was hopeless and still, gojou kept hoping.

You’re saying I still haven’t let you go? 

Naruto: *starts a running sequence in the forest* Me: OOO they’re about to explain something i could not infer with my own intelligence lets pay close attention

Aside from all my complaining about the tragedy of JJK, I do want to say that Gege is absolutely incredible when it comes to constructing parallels between characters and their relationships. There’s Itadori and Geto down to the ingestion of curses/cursed items in order to gain their power, wanting to be the hero in a story that prevents them from doing so (i.e. wanting so badly to do good but their power is inherently destructive, causing them to unravel), and Gojo and Fushiguro are also a given, with their narratives deconstructing the typical trope of the “chosen one”.

[id: it’s two screenshot of jujutsu kaisen panels, the first of Sukuna grabbing his neck as Itadori takes his body back, and the second of Kenjaku grabbing his neck as Geto tries to take his body back. /end id]

[id: it’s a screenshot of Gojo and Fushiguro from jujutsu kaisen when they’re first meeting. Megumi is young, about six years old, and Gojo is his eighteen-year-old self with his hair down and sunglasses on his nose. /end id]

But then you look further and you get stuff like Getou and Nanami, who were both heavily impacted by the death of a close, mutual friend, and how they dealt with that. They both stray off their paths, but their response to their disillusionment is vastly different: Geto fully plunges into a delusional quest for justice (finding the twins was just the final straw that he needed) whereas Nanami does the opposite and runs away. And then there’s Toji vs Maki, where they’re both scorned despite their immense power and considered outcasts. Toji had something to hold him back from killing the entirety of the Zen’in clan (Megumi) but Maki had lost hers (her heart had been taken from her, after all).

[id: it’s two screenshots of the jujutsu kaisen manga. The first is of the panels where Maki and Toji are drawn in the same stances, and the second is of Naoya asking Maki whether she has a human heart, to which she replies “No… it was taken from me.” /end id]

There’s so much to unpack even down to the framework of the relationships that Gege sets up, like Satosugu versus Itafushi, and how it’s set up to a point where Fushiguro will likely be the one to either a) kill Itadori, or b) break the cycle that started with Geto and Gojo. You can even look at Nanami and Haibara vs Nanami and Itadori, and how Itadori is almost a reflection of Haibara, at least through the eyes of Nanami, and how Haibara’s death influenced how Nanami treated Itadori. I could ramble for ages about this, but honestly, the bottom line is it’s actually really impressive, especially for a shonen manga where the genre doesn’t typically focus on that sort of thing.

ALL OF THEM?
