First he was shocked then he smiled. That’s what he said, half the feeling.

If jujutsu kaisen was a 2000s anime we would have had 35+ episodes of filler during the hidden inventory arc of just shoko, gojo, geto, nanami and haibara doing random missions and ngl I kinda feel robbed

#LIKE JUST RANDOM MISSIONS AND THEM FUCKING AROUND #we could’ve got so much content of the 2006 class im heartbroken #not to exclude utahime but I think she was in kyoto even then no? #she can stay in the fillers tho unlike mei mei she’s not welcome #nanami kento #stsg #suguru geto #gojo satoru #jjk #shoko ieiri #yu haibara #jujutsu kaisen #jujutsu haibara #hidden inventory arc #jjk season 2 #jujutsu kaisen utahime

what is more homoerotic than the fact that rin and bon would have both literally died at birth if the other didn't exist

#Rin is a little iffy but bon definitely #Cuz if rin didn't exist Shiro wouldn't have been in Kyoto and torako would have probably died along with bon #Who wasn't born yet #If bon didn't exist Shiro would still prolly would have gotten kurikura but rin would have probably been killed without it sealing his powe #Even tho he killed like 8 ppl they prolly coulda stopped him somehow and took him out #Kyoto arc was so fucking wild #I love that both of bones parents love rin that's so out of left field like u would expect romeo and juliet #Cyz u know rin is the son of Satan but no tatsuma and Shiro were lowkey besties and torako is prolly sending rin recipes in the mail #Bonrin #blue exorcist #aoex #ao no exorcist #rin okumura #ryuuji suguro

how different are the anime and manga? are there certain things you like about one more than the other?

very different, like night and day. i'll leave season 2 (kyoto saga) aside and just talk about season 1, since the movie is a side/non-canon story (i really love it tho) and season 2 is like 90% canon (minus the last episode with that scene where rin & yukio talked. in the manga it was a whole mini arc with them talking to eachother amidst a fight with high tension, rather than them just chilling by a river lmao)

the most apparent scene that was different from the anime & manga was the first chapter/episode 1-2, where shiro died. the anime made it into a pretty fascinating & exciting intro to the series, with rin getting hired as a grocery store clerk, and ending with a battle against demons coming after him. where the manga, while still at its core having the same important moments (rin looking for a job, having delinquents jump him, and shiro getting possessed), it was really just a sad scene with no one except himself, shiro & satan bearing witness to the events of that night. out of fear he caused his father's possession/death, he never speaks about it to anyone. so no one really knows how that night unfolded. unlike the anime having the priests see everything (kinda awkwardly) and then later yukio showing up.

the manga really expands upon & fleshes out the characters, whereas the anime (s1) really.. flanderizes them. i think yukio is the most painful example, he is very much not the irrational "all demons are evil" kinda guy, hes truly just a kid indoctrinated into the exorcists mindset since he was 7, but the anime never really showed how nuanced and deep he is, so he became a punching bag for people to easily/mindlessly hate. also, he is NOT a half demon like rin. he's fully human just with some..Peculiarities lol (iykyk)

anyways, blue exorcist truly shines as a slow burn story, we are 145 chapters in (with the next chapter being just a few days away) and have only just now touched upon the aspects that the final parts of season 1 showed. but it is completely different, in almost every aspect. yet you can still see the resemblances to the anime, i wont get too into it for spoilers, but yk the scene with rin's sword breaks? in the anime they repaired it & everything was fine again. but in the manga, rin permanently changes from it abruptly being broken. for better and worse. afterwards, it becomes a whole underlying character arc.

season 1 was like the story's blueprint, its building blocks in a sense. the manga is truly where it shines, letting the characters grow and each have their own moments & developments before things get really heated within it's world.

it also divulges into the lore in almost a philosophical level: what really are demons & humans, are they truly so different from eachother? with rin being the focus of this question as people say he is Both human and demon and yet simultaneously being Neither at the same time.

the world building becomes expanded upon, by leaps and bounds. we see how the order/exorcists really operate. we find out What demons truly are, and their real reasons to be against humans. we find out what really happened during the blue night and what lead up to that. the world feels more open & wide, and everything feels so intertwined.

it also touches upon some VERY dark and heavy subjects, becoming more and more dark as it progresses. from mental illness, trauma & generational trauma to war, suicide, human experiments & corrupt organizations. and yet despite this darkness it still sends a good message that despite things being bad, its still worth it to keep living. and the author just knows the perfect moments to grab people by their heartstrings with it.

s1 is not Bad per-se, sometimes im harsh on it due to me personally being obsessed with the manga's canon. it does have its cute filler scenes (i actually love that rin got a grocery job in episode 1) and its pretty enjoyable as a cute fluffy feel-good anime. i first watched the anime+movie as a kid in 2015 and loved it, but it felt like it had far more potential. which is where the manga DELIVERED, by leaps and bounds.

however, now that the anime is focused on adapting it faithfully, this will change within the future. especially once get more canon episodes compared to the vast amount of manga content lol. but until then, i suggest to check out the manga 🫡

TL;DR: this is the anime vs the manga (in a good way LOL)

#aoex #blue exorcist #ao no exorcist #THANK YUO FOR THIS ASK I LOVE TALKING ABT THIS AHHHHHHHHHHHH #i was not expecting to write this much going into this. it just kinda. happened.. erm #as u can see i can talk abt this literally for days #special interest goes brrrrrr #spent like 2hrs typing this out 🫡 all for you anon #if u want to check it out: it's officially available for free on the MangaPlus app (available international iirc) #or u can find the official volumes on mangasee/manga4life 🫡 #the old scanlations arent too bad but they stopped once it got a simupub.. so better just to read it officially for consistency #i rlly recommend to start the manga from the beginning if u want to see the differences for yourself. At Least read the first chpt #but otherwise u can start from chapter 35. its where s2/kyoto arc ends off 👍 #its hard to compare the anime vs the manga bc the manga literally has like nearly 150 chapters over the anime LOL #literally hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby lmaoo #ask #anyways anon u couldnt of asked this question to a better person (wink wink nudge nudge ppl give me more aoex asks PLEASEE) #very normal abt this series. so normal 😁😁

oh my god my editor for this fic is the slowest editor that has ever existed

*i am the editor for this fic*

#the problem is i dont know how to end a story so i write and i write and i write #and it's been a week #and i'll no doubt write even more if i hate the ending when i get down to it #i live in a constant state of not wanting to forget a stupid comment made by either tommy or ellie #and if i read through it a billion times to make sure i have everything i'll see a spot where i can make one of them say something else #i prommy its coming #its oddly so connected to graceland too which was not the plan at all but i guess somewhere in my mind while i slept #i was like tommy & ellie graceland too arc #and now i have that in my mind #so my silly fluffy fic turned into something i actually cared about a lot more #because graceland too is special to me #graceland too tommy & ellie arc right before the kyoto joel & ellie arc #anyway theres your obligatory update #its still coming im just slow

[wowowzersss]

back on my toshi ranting for a sec here! ^_^ can we tell the hyperfix is kicking my ass…

rewatching the kyoto goodwill event simply bc i missed him badly 😓 and i got to the ep where we get his backstory and when i tell you i GASPED.

so when it switches to older him having that conversation with whoever that woman is, he asks why the kamo clan took him in and she says bc his father’s ACTUAL wife (cuz yk toshi’s mom was just a concubine) gave birth to a child that didn’t have a technique.

…

DO WE REALIZE WHAT THAT MEANS 😭😭😭 HE HAS ANOTHER HALF SIBLING…who we can assume is male based on how these clans function

personally i believe this child is older than noritoshi by at least a year for 1) the narrative and 2) the amount of sense it makes??? techniques usually kick in around 5-6 y/o and there’s no exact date for when it happens. could happen when you turn 5 or your last day as 6. so they could’ve most likely waited to be sure, but i feel like they already knew…

(unsure if kid straight up had no curse energy or simply didn’t have an innate technique; either way i don’t think it mattered to the clan)

but this kid doesn’t have the technique and toshi is brought in as the new heir. when i tell you the ideas started FLOWING. little noritoshi wanting to get along with his older sibling because they were family, but doesn’t realize his entire existence is an insult to this child. an insult to everything they knew at this point. THEY should be the heir, not serving tea to some bastard child who got lucky.

AND ARGHHHHHH THEIR RELATIONSHIP KINDA MAKES ME SICK??? IM SO NORMAL???

and then don’t even get me started on when he finds out abt his mother’s second son, his younger half-brother and he’s transported back to his youth and he feels so SICK. he now feels that exact feeling of being replaced and he just can’t actually go up to them. he can’t make that connection (NOT YET ANYWAYS!) and reach out…

he wants to hate that little boy for having a childhood with his mother, something HE never got. but god he can’t. his kid brother would be around the same age he was, wouldn’t he? he’s just a kid…so when toshi finally meets him, he refuses to continue the cycle. he loves that little boy and does his best at being a great older brother

…ARGHHHHHHHHH IM GONNA KMS 😹😹😹

noritoshi kamo…and ur relationship with siblingism and replacement…mmmmm i love u, u traumatized lil guy…

#wrote this on my train ride to school #got a little emotional writing this and prayed i wouldn’t start crying… #y’all don’t get it #he means SOOOOO much to me #toshi and his half brothers u will always be famous to me #maybe i SHOULD write a fic on this idk! #(i most likely will hehe) #anyways follow me if u like noritoshi kamo and autism chat 😊 #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #noritoshi kamo #kamo clan #kyoto goodwill event arc #rant post #slight character analysis
