ok question tho

ive actually fucking tried to google this but i cant find an answer, all i get are fics

where does the whole “five times _____ and one time ____” fic title thing come from??

is it a reference to something? or is it just a fanfiction thing?

I keep wondering why so many fans (including myself) were bitter about the jjk ending.

Best I can think of is that it's because of the collectivist nature of the narrative -

defeating Sukuna was a collective struggle.

Jjk narrative seeks to dismantle the extreme individualism/hero-cult.

For us - a society built on the logic of hiarchy, that's a hard pill to swallow.

Gojo "winning" by having played his part in the collective struggle and having no regrets and Sukuna "losing" and thus regretting his choices that were proven wrong, choosing for the first time ever to reincarnate open to love -

... means there are no simple solutions, people can change, love, and work together no matter their personal differences.

There is no solitary evil mogul that we can pin all the evil on, and no solitary hero that we can push our own responsibility for saving the collapsing society on. No, it's our own responsibility to carry on as the new generation.

Also, there is a point of how mundane were the last two chapters before this. As if to remind us that life goes on and that there must come a time when students fly out of the nest and pick up their role as the next responsible ones.

Ah.

(( But i still miss Gojo, man. ))

You're telling me that Yuji didn't make sure that Gojo (and Choso... and what about Nanami?) get proper burials?

We didn't get to see it?

Do you think Nobara will come back?

i say this with a strong heart and delusional soul, yes she will

I love the message this chapter was sending.

It's so cathartic to see Yuuji, a character who had embraced the worst parts of the cog mentality, realize that there is more to life than what he could do for the machine that is life and a society like ours.

It's also such a great message; to enjoy the mundane in life, to live in the details and the memories you had. It might not amount to anything at the end of the day. Hell, it might not even amount to anything at the end of your life, but at least you can say that you lived, not as a cog in the machine, only designed to fulfill your role in society, but made to fill your existence with the experiences and people around you.

That's why his grandfather told him to die surrounded by loved ones.
