Thoughts on GojoHime in the Phantom Parade side story

(An English fan translation of the full story here & another English translation of the GojoHime part here).

The story, "Satoru Gojo, The Night Before The Goodwill Event," is divided in 3 sections, where Gojo teases 3 of his closest friends, lol.

A little recap first.

So, it seems that weeks before the Goodwill Event, Gojo had been looking for ideas on what the students could do for fun. On the day before the event, he started off with Nanami, convincing him to go bowling. Finding certain aspects of it complicated (such as where it could take place), Gojo scratched it off & left, leaving an annoyed Nanami behind. (It's unclear if Gojo was simply watching or playing too, but he left when it was his turn to bowl).

That night, he found Utahime outside of the Tokyo Dome, having just finished watching a live baseball game. Her team lost & she was mad. After teasing her a bit, Uta asked him why he was there & Gojo said he knew she'd be in Tokyo, as both of them should be making preparations for the upcoming event. He added that unlike him, she was slacking off on the job by going to the dome. Ignoring him & surprised that Gojo was putting in the work, Uta told him to go continue his preparations then, but Gojo said she should come too. When she asked why, Gojo said if she didn't want him telling on her to the principals, they should go to a Batting Cage. Offering to pay for her as the cherry on top, he said exercise was good to let out frustrations & ran off. Confused, Uta chased after him (what in the shoujo rom-com is this)

She ended up hitting a bunch of home runs, leaving Gojo impressed 👀. After a couple rounds of batting on her own, she asked him what the batting had to do with the preparations. Gojo hesitated & told her it was a secret before running off again (teleporting?), leaving her confused. Gojo knew he'd find baseball the most fun even just by watching & decided to pick that as one of the activities for the students on the 2nd day of the exchange event.

That same night, he basically ordered a confused Ijichi to drive him to some stores to buy the equipment & uniforms for the baseball match & other potential activities. It was then revealed he was using the school funds, even for the bowling & Batting Cage (lol), & told Ijichi to add in the extra activities to the poll for the 2nd day of the event. As already established in the manga/anime, Gojo had rigged the poll & was happy that baseball won.

Ooh, boy... So, let's dissect this. How did Gojo find Utahime at the Tokyo Dome? Was it a coincidence, despite the amounts of people there? Did he sense or see her CE & followed it there? Or did he make an educated a lucky guess she would be there, as he knows she often goes to watch games when in Tokyo (since he pointed out that he knew she'd already be in town for the Goodwill Event)?

Gojo noticed she was upset about her fav team losing, so he suggested they go to a batting center so she could let off some steam, making it sound like it had to do with his preparations for the event (which, technically, it did 🤪). The thing is...Gojo didn't play with her. He stood to the side while she played.

And Uta just went along with it... She clearly doesn't mind being in his company, not to mention at night. She must've been pretty into it, & who knows what she was wearing; it's obvious that she must've been in casual wear (off duty & her miko outfit would've stood out too much at the dome). Gojo might've been in casual wear too. (Phantom Parade has all the characters in their default outfits despite the OG scenes showing otherwise in the manga/anime).

What was going thru Gojo's head while at the Batting Cage? He was clearly impressed by her skills, as she hit a bunch of home runs 👀. Before heading over to Ijichi, Gojo thought to himself that he knew he would enjoy baseball & that it was fun just to watch the batting...meaning it was fun for him to watch Utahime being all flushed & sweaty & in her cute outfit &—

He bought the baseball uniforms for the students & Utahime. How did he know their sizes? Maybe he asked Ijichi for the student files or something, like what measurements they have for their school uniforms. But Utahime? Gojo must've made an educated guess... His experience with women, maybe? 🤪 And that maybe he observes her a little too much...

Reminds me of some scenes in the Earl & Fairy anime/novel series in which Edgar would gift Lydia dresses that fit her to a T (when they weren't even dating or anything, lol) & she'd wonder how in the world he knew her exact measurements. Edgar was a womanizer so he was definitely well-versed in women's bodies, & was becoming very interested in her, so... 🤭 (If y'all want a dynamic similar to GojoHime, go read this series!! It's amazing!!)

Then at the baseball game with the students, Gojo put on his sunglasses (which he either wears on a whim or to pick up girls, as stated by Gege himself 👀) & his "seduction" outfit that he once wore to annoy Megumi in that one Jujusanpo. Meanwhile, Uta wore the baseball uniform provided by Gojo, matching her white bow with a white belt. Girl—

So, this proves the headcanon that Gojo had rigged the poll for Utahime. He knows she loves baseball & he canonically does too (as implied in one of the novels while talking to Ijichi & making references to the famous Japanese baseball player Ichiro Suzuki). They must bond over baseball when Gojo's not teasing 😩. Baseball date headcanons proven too 🤭.

Sure, Gojo added in other sports/activities to the poll, but the fact baseball won when Gojo had said it'd be the most fun...maybe he put more baseball slips in the box. In the manga/anime, the main takeaway is that Gojo chose baseball as the main activity 😏.

He picked something that all of them could enjoy, which was very sweet of him 🥹. I wonder if Uta ever connected the dots? Did she realize Gojo got the idea because of her? For her too? But maybe she was too irritated that she lost to Gojo at the game, lol, as she's very competitive. She was telling off her students here.

This makes me wonder if they made a bet of some sort. Imagine? We can have so much fun with this side story 😩...

BTW, what if Uta had been the one to introduce Gojo to the sport to begin with?! She'd get all nerdy & passionate about it. Gojo likes how expressive she gets & maybe that's why he enjoyed watching her play at the batting center? Not to mention the view— Must be one of the reasons he enjoys teasing her~

Anyway, I can't believe we got a story like this! So cute! We got fed good 🤭. Too bad we didn't get to see Nanami interacting with GojoHime (to potentially prove our HC's that he gets annoyed by Gojo's antics towards their senpai 🤭). Hope we get more crumbs like this in the future!

Jenny: What are you planning to do with the surfboard, Tung? Tung: Surf. Something I've always fancied doing ever since I saw that film. The one with the lads trying to catch the big fish. Jenny: Which film is that? Tung: You know. The big fish. The musical fish. Jenny: The musical fish? Tung: He hums a tune before he attacks people. They try to catch him but their boats are too small. Jenny: Are you talking about Jaws? Tung: That's the one. Jenny: Jaws made you want to take up surfing? Tung: Yes.

Gideon walks in and immediately pulls Fyra into a hug, eyes out like a hawk for Mei.

"Shhh, it's alright. What in Limgrave happened?" - allknowingofnir

Fyra clings to Gideon, sobbing. "Mei said she killed a baby kindred rot and that it had a sibling! They are so cute just the thought of one being sad makes me cry! And then someone said they would eat them!! I-I wanna protect them all!"

It was absolutely absurd situation, one Fyra probably would find funny at a later date, but right now she is besides herself.

im doing a very quick (aka skimming-a-lot) GO reread and i'd forgotten how much i love discorporated aziraphale. he is 3000% done. he has no fucks left to give. this part of the book is just him and crowley, independently of each other, having hit rock bottom and come through despair and out on the other side into "fuck it we ball" and it's wonderful. they're so in sync and so unhinged.

favourite discorporated az moments:

telling mr shadwell he's the southern pansy

gets so annoyed with the televangelist he tells him that heaven only has a 50% chance of winning and the rest is propaganda, after denying it for the whole book

"you lot [humanity] are all going to be civilian casualties either way"

telling mrs ormerod that he knows he's in england because nobody else could have asked such a fucking stupid question

world's least sincere "wasn't that touching."

'the exorcist' reference *

extremely eager to murder adam young

i cannot emphasise enough how down with child murder he is **

tells madame tracy they need to be doing 70mph and then makes her fucking vespa warp through space at 200mph

"i'm the nice one. you can't expect me to—oh, blast it. you try to do the decent thing, and where does it get you?" aziraphale snapped his fingers.

* im willing to bet money that was crowley's idea and ended with him feeling vaguely queasy while aziraphale sat next to him going "what absolute nonsense, this isn't how it works at all"

** until he actually meets him. but still.

#good omens #aziraphale #ofc many of these are in the series but with slight variations or not in their entirety -#eg i think the book version w him going 'oh fuck it whatever' before vanishing the soldier is even funnier #edited after posting; sorry. didn't want to give the impression he never changed his mind on murking adam lmao

I think the reason why Naruto fans get so passionate and upset about the series is because of how real it can be. Naruto isn’t about paragon heroes outdoing dastardly villains. It’s about human beings fighting tooth and nail to survive in a world surrounded by death. It’s about broken systems made and perpetuated by broken people.

The Hyuga clan isn’t just antagonistic or pretentious, they practice slavery.

The Uchiha clan weren’t just killed by some raging psychopath, they were systematically massacred.

Itachi isn’t just cruel to Sasuke because he’s a bad brother, he’s cruel because he’d been told time and time again that you can only survive by being cruel and he wants nothing more than for Sasuke to survive.

Nagato isn’t trying to take over the world just for the sake of power, he’s trying to take over the world because it beat him down to the point of believing that the only chance at peace there is is the world being forced into compliance through fear.

Iruka isn’t hard on Naruto just because he’s a strict teacher, he’s hard on Naruto because he knows from experience how unforgiving the world is towards orphans.

Kakashi isn’t just some silly and slightly lazy teacher, he’s a contract killer still grieving his loved ones and struggling to do better without knowing how he’s supposed to.

Sakura isn’t just a fangirl, she’s a normal girl in a very dangerous and abnormal world constantly being made to choose between what she’s supposed to do and what she feels.

Sasuke isn’t just some edgelord, he’s a survivor who lost everything then gets repeatedly told that he has to choose between keeping what he’s gained and doing better than his brother.

Naruto isn’t just trying to be the best Hokage there ever was, he’s trying to prove his worth to a society that abandoned him just for existing and, in a way, confirm his worth to himself.

The Naruto story is about humans trying to force themselves into the role of weapons because that’s what they were told they had to be. It’s a story where everyone is a perpetrator but no one is trying to do wrong. It’s a story where everyone is a victim but no one is a perfect victim.

The world and the characters aren’t simple and trying to simplify them only takes away from them. So of course we get passionate about showing off all the reasons why they shouldn’t be simplified and all of the ways they’re complicated. Of course we get upset when we see others simplifying them or selling certain aspects of their characters short. Of course we get upset when the series itself simplifies them. Of course we get upset when the series chooses to abandon them. Because it not only feels like the characters are giving up, it feels like the series is betraying anyone who chose to get invested in its complexities.
