Suguru Getou's ideology: A (hopefully helpful) guide to idiots, by an even bigger idiot

(contains JJK spoilers up to chapter 78)

As I was reading Jujutsu Kaisen, I had some difficulty understanding a few of the stuff Gege presents to us (still pretending to understand how tf Gojou's powers work). So, I decided to take notes while reading volume 9, since I was having trouble putting together Getou's ideology and plans. Here's what I gathered, and my own commentary about it.

Feel free to correct my English, I originally read JJK in portuguese, so I'm not very sure about the terms.

Jujutsu sorcerers were bred to protect humanity from the curses they create. Like we saw when Itadori was being trained, strong emotions can make cursed energy flare out. Uncontrolled cursed energy creates curses, and common humans end up creating them with their negative, strong feelings. Jujutsu sorcerers take the curses out and maintain cursed energy as a whole a secret, since it would disturb the peace among humanity.

Suguru seems not only to be fine with that, but agree to it. He even explains to Gojou how important it is for them to protect the "weak", making sure to not let them know about Jujutsu. But he always saw normal people as the weak link of society. (pages from chapter 64)

Suguru starts doubting Jujutsu society when he and Satoru scout the girl who's going to be Tengen-sama next receptacle. There's two groups after her: One made of common humans in a cult for Tengen-sama (the time vessel association), who believes him going mad without a new receptacle is going to restore his powers as a god (or something along those lines), and one made of curse masters who want to overthrow Jujutsu society by making Tengen-sama go mad (Group Q). Satoru and Suguru agree that the main threat is Group Q, since the Vessel Association is made of common humans who can't see curses. They defeat Q rather quickly, so now, they only have to keep the receptacle alive until Tengen-sama's ritual.

Suguru shows empathy to the receptacle, Riko. She'll spend the rest of eternity locked away when the ritual is completed, and he doesn't mind to receive orders to agree to her every wish. I think this is really important to his character. Makes him multifaceted and gives depth to his wish to change Jujutsu society.

Now this doesn't have much to do with these last statements, but I think Gege included it to foreshadow the way Suguru sees Jujutsu society: Strong people suffering with their gifts and having to protect the weak, the same ones who wronged them (page from chapter 68)

A lot happens, but long story short, Suguru takes Riko to Tengen-sama's temple and Gojou is stuck fighting with Touji (the Vessel Association hired him). He can't go forward with her, and tells her she can back out if she wants. He says Gojou and him will protect her future no matter what she chooses to do, but as she says she doesn't want the ritual to happen, Touji kills her. He also believed he killed Gojou, and Suguru is extremely disturbed as they fight.

Touji incapacitates Suguru, but doesn't kill him. As he's leaving, he plants a tiny seed of doubt in Suguru

The use of the word "monkey" in the context of "common human" is a very important part of Suguru's way of viewing the world, and I think is interesting how it was presented to him.

Gojou kills Touji, Suguru and him go to retrieve Riko's body from the cult's temple. It's full of people who follow the cult, common humans that most likely don't know about Jujutsu. Gojou suggests killing them, but Suguru disagrees, saying that it would be meaningless. This word makes Gojou ask if meaning is really necessary, and Suguru answers that, for a Jujutsu sorcerer, it is. He doesn't seem so sure, though.

Now comes the turning point. A year goes by, and loneliness makes Suguru really analyze what actually means to be a sorcerer. They give their lives to protect people who don't even know or care about them, and remembering the followers of the Vessel's cult, he can't help to feel bitter towards common humans. It's also the first time he calls them monkeys (pages from chapter 76)

Then, comes Yuki Tsukumo. She presents her way of viewing Jujutsu society: Sorcerers don't kill the evil by the root, they just deal with the consequences without tackling the source of the problem. Everyone has cursed energy, the thing that differentiates a sorcerer from a normal person is the amount. Sorcerers exude a lot less cursed energy than common people, because they're trained to control the amount (like Yuuji was trained with the movies). With that being said, there's a few ways curses could be erradicated:

Ending cursed energy all together: If no one can produce it, curses won't appear. Yuki even uses Touji as example, since he has even less cursed energy than a normal person.

Making sure all humanity can control cursed energy. Yuki gives a twist to that first premise of "Uncontrolled cursed energy creates curses": Sorcerers don't create curses. If all humanity consisted of sorcerers, there wouldn't be curses (sorcerers might become curses after their death, but that's the exception).

Suguru was already in a very fragile mental state. Brewing hate for common humans, he brought his own interpretation to these options: Killing all the monkeys would erradicate curses. Yuki plays along and says that if they actually did it, they would try to fight back and evolve to be able to use Jujutsu.

I'm not a hypocrite and I'm not going to blame Yuki for Getou's understanding of Jujutsu society and what he wants to make of it, but she had a big impact.

The last straw, though, was Mimiko and Nanako.

Curses were spawning in the village the girls lived, and the villagers assumed they were creating them. Not only that, they locked the girls, insulted them and their parents because they could see the curses (very similar to the old dude with the dog, right?). After seeing this, Suguru picked his path. He killed every single villager and his own parents, and decided to follow the side of him that hates monkeys.

Annnnnnd, we're done! I hope this was helpful. Even if I don't agree with his ideology, I think the reasons that made Suguru pick it as his meaning and how he fell into it are very interesting to analyze. His actions are justified, not excused.

So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...

#jfc #I mean I know crypto is a fucking grift #but I kind of didn't think it would PHYSICALLY harm the idiots who invested in it #literally can't believe the last poster #like.... at what point DO you stop sucking these guys' dicks??!? #AFTER they blind you?!? WTF

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

#this is about tenko bnha #but it is also about dahlia ace attorney #watch the nezumiVA videos on ace attorney trilogy they're great #anyway dahlia saying she (at like. 6 years old) apparently convinced her father to abandon her sister. hmmm #also everyone including herself thinking of her as the manipulator in control with terry when she was 14 dating a 20 y/o #anyway these characters both did do terrible things but feel the need to pile on more and remove nuance from where it exists #to convince themselves that this is what they really want. that they chose this. #it's about the loss of control it's about being a victim feeling worse than being a villain #at least if you were the bad guy you had autonomy #shimura tenko #shigaraki tomura #dahlia hawthorne

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

#this thread was so rancid lmfao #my favorite was 'we don't care if someone wants to relax on the couch!!! STOP NAGGING US!!!' like ???? #go take care of your kids you deadbeat???? #also SO many guys complaining that no one compliments them #ok so compliment another man..... #oh no you only want a woman to compliment you? ok. #women compliment each other that's why we get compliments lol #we do not want men to 'compliment' us hope this helps

Hello i'm a normal person here's some stuff i drew to illustrate different traits different "person getting controlled" tropes can have

edit: obligatory possession shorthand code link because people seem to be using this like the possession code but just. without the code part

#if you see tumblr flagging this its literally not mature i dont know why it got flagged #i like how you can see the artstyle in this change because i drew the first couple a year ago and then picked it up again intermittently #this aws just an excuse to draw a bunch of tiny possessed guys. ''what am i supposed to do with a possession hyperfixation its not like you #can draw possession fanart'' Yes You Can If you really Believe In yourslef #This isn't even all the traits i can think of there's four more but they seem kind of boring to draw and are mostly self explanatory #Less Unique my Ass #ThePossessionHyperfixationIsNeverEnding

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

#obligatory disclaimer that this really really obviously is not universal #I do live in a major progressive city #there's definitely a level of a liberal bubble effect here #but it's still really powerful to see it #because even in a major liberal enclave there were so many limits on the gender roles and homophobia etc. etc. fronts #and also the limits of the oppressive weight of obligatory teen apathy lol #seriously go gen z. so glad you guys decided cringe is dead. I love you for that so much #and I love it for you #not news #life #hope #homophobia #sexism #teens #teenagers #progress #gen z #btw if it wasn't clear I'm a #millennial #plush toy #plushie #squishmallows #build a bear #stuffed animal #like the idea of almost any teenager much less teenage boys #saying IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS #that they are excited about their STUFFED ANIMALS #when I was a teenager #????? #cannot imagine that ever happening.
