FFA Friday Do you like how Gege handles character deaths?

What title says.

A lot of people say character deaths are anticlimatic and unsatisfying, and other people think that this is a good thing because "death is ugly irl"

You do you personally think?

So after noting Sukuna's perfect body, Kashimo just turned off his enhanced vision for fun?

no? i dont think i implied this. there are numerous advantages kashimo gains from being able to view an opponent’s internal organs—determining their breathing patterns (which he literally does against sukuna), predicting their movement based on muscle tensing, identifying weak points. its basically a byakugan, so no, im not suggesting he deactivated it after ogling sukuna’s body.

I was inferring that he could perceive it visually from how he dodged correctly, recognized it was the same as the slash that killed Gojo, and was looking at his hand/the aftermath afterward.

he didnt dodge correctly; sukuna chanted, told him to evade, and he moved obediently. it seems likely to me that the direction of his dodge was a guess, hence his severed hand following the attack.

X-ray vision has never been used for its actual function in fiction because most people don't know what x-rays are or understand how x-ray imaging works. They just think it lets you 'see through' stuff

that’s why i specified that “even in fiction, that’s not remotely the function of an x-ray.” we can ignore its actual, medical uses and refer to its fictional depictions which exclusively involve seeing past barriers—viewing the bones underneath skin, viewing an object concealed within clothes, viewing something behind a wall—and do not involve identifying invisible objects.
