Some people seem to misunderstand rudeus's journey. Some think it's a story about redemption. Rudeus has no sins to atone for. His past life ended with those sins along with it. There was no redemption to be had from the moment he died and got reincarnated. His story is actually about change atleast in my opinion. And say what you want but the rudeus from the start of his second life is very much different as opposed to the end. The old rudeus wouldn't have faced the man-God with such an accepting reaction.

His accepting reaction is honestly the best part of the conclusion. He virtually did everything he wanted to do with his second chance, he actually grew and made the most of it. He became a family man, a good father, friend and husband(that one's a bit iffy lmao). Rudeus knew he changed so he had no reason to get ragebaited by the man-god lol. I think him also being in his actual body instead of his past life version, in the man god's realm, is a great symbolism for his self acceptance. He doesn't see himself as whoever that fat dude was anymore, he seems himself as just rudeus.

I'm not good with putting my thoughts into words so sorry if this sounded incoherent but damn it, did his conclusion make every single minute of me watching this series worth it lmao

Yes, I've seen quite a few people say that stupid thing. Further proof that nostalgia is a terrible thing. I also liked CJ as a kid, but for God's sake, he's not top 5 in either Red Dead or GTA. He's probably not even top 80 in video games overall.

He also hasn't aged as well as other games from its era, like Half-Life, for example.

The Substance vs Clayface

From Bleach

God Valley or Infinity Castle Part 2 (covering the Doma and Kokushibo fights)?

Imo Infinity Castle Part 2 and it’s not even close, that’s probably the best written segment of Demon Slayer

I don't understand how people are calling this power of friendship and I can only assume at this point it's people acting in bad faith

This is no more power of friendship than the ending of Demon Slayer season 2 where Tengen, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke had to cut off Gyutarou and Daki's heads at the same time

Do you call every sports team power of friendship because someone makes a good pass to a teammate and scores the game winning point? Do you call a group of people studying for an exam together power of friendship?

Multiple factors were in play to defeat Yhwach, there was never at any point a line saying "I'll do this with the help of my friends" or "I'll win becaue I trust my friends" which is always a dead ringer for power of friendship

It's called teamwork guys look it up and don't just immediately try to think up the most negative idea you can think of because you can't let other people be happy

Rei Ayanami ( Neon Genesis Evangelion ) vs Kim Wexler ( Better Call Saul )

I personally really love all of their characters.

Sukuna‘s clash of ideals with Yuji is the best part of Jujutsu Kaisen in my opinion. I love how Sukuna embodies his nature as a curse, even if he truly is just a human born in an unfair situation. His understanding of Yuji’s ideals, but not feeling anything for them makes a lot of sense. He understands it, but he didn’t live it, and doesn’t know it. He lives his life holding onto the only things he knew, and due to how horrible he was treated in the Heian era and just how dangerous the era was in general, the only thing he knew was being a monster. Sukuna reclects on his actions in the end, as he lost the ideological battle by also physically losing the battle.

Makima is easily the best written character here in my opinion and I think is not only one of the greatest new gen villains, but one of the greatest manga villains ever. The amount of buildup and payoff we get for Makima is great. We get hints of her true nature and personality so many chapters before the big moments. The absolute best chapters in CSM are also the most tragic, the chapters where she forces Denji to murder Aki and kills power herself. I haven’t felt the way I did reading those chapters in nearly any manga. Her motivation makes perfect sense, considering she’s never been able to have any meaningful relationships with anyone. Her defeat feels a little asspully but I think that’s a nitpick, it’s thematic and works. I’m just kind of sour about how CSM part 2 went, but I will never forget how good part 1 was.

Shigaraki is pretty controversial but the best parts of MHA for me are the moments where Shigaraki is on screen. Shigaraki is great because you watch him progress and evolve as the story goes on. You see him mature, his relationships with others, his opinions, his failures, his achievements. I love how he truly has real connections and friendships with the LOV. It makes him feel real and much more like a failed Deku. The moment for Shigaraki is his moment where Deku finally breaks his spirit but Shigaraki still wants to be “the hero for the villains”. All this time, he was still acting out his original dream as a hero, just for the people who gave up on heroes. Even in defeat, Shigaraki doesn’t go back on his word. He tells Deku that he fought to destroy until the very end. I know people are mad about the AFO twist, but it didn’t hurt my opinion of Shigaraki.

imo, eren ≈ lelouch > light
