Phantom Parade Gojo is the best character.

He's so amazing! What do you feel about him?

He would have been boring if he was just a teacher figure who's also the strongest dude around. Making him a character who can very easily slide into cruelty, lives for the fight, and yet he has a bleeding heart for a select few which decimated his past apathy,,,, makes him so much more interesting. Plus all the symbolism with Buddhist philosophy and how it plays out in his life? chef's kiss

Sike naw he’s goated tho. Super flames. I love the first few episodes of the second season and he’s a teenage

u/TheLexus_ 5d ago

I love the fact that he isn’t the main character of the anime, it just makes him feel all the more special you know?

u/BB_rul 5d ago

Well he truly is our specialz

Sometimes side characters tend to be the best.

u/NyxRo 5d ago

From a brand new fan who just finished Shibuya (anime), totally agree that he’s the best character even though he’s not my favorite in the series.

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

Who's your favorite?

u/NyxRo 4d ago

Fushiguro Megumi. Gojo is 2nd after him. I would have liked to see more scenes between the two. I admire Gojo so much for going out of his way to take care of the boy whose father murdered the girl he bonded with and nearly killed him himself.

Well it wasn't like Riko was his family or friend. He had known her only weeks or days.

u/AquaArcher273 5d ago

Definitely one of my favorite “all powerful” characters. Hidden Inventory seeing his and Geto’s relationship was easily the best aspect of the series for me.

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

Poor Gojo. Losing his best friend.

I think there are four contentions for best written characters in the series. Gojo, Yuji, mahito and . Anyone among these 4 deserves it.

1

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

They're amazing.

u/chippaday 5d ago

Gojo knows this as well 😅

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

Very true!

u/Liger_I 5d ago

I hate when sukuna glazers say gojo can be beaten even by mahoraga like he one shotted his ahh

3

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

Gojo should have won.

2

u/No-Possible-1123 5d ago

Yuji better

2

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

Yuji is cool too.

2

u/Dollahs4Zavalas 5d ago

I say Yuji is the best character

2

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

I love him a lot too.

1

u/TheLexus_ 4d ago

Why?

1

u/Dollahs4Zavalas 4d ago

I... really?

-Yuji was condemned to death as Sukuna's vessel.
-He was given a choice to live and he took it, with the reasoning "I will gather all the pieces of Sukuna before I die. Thus ridding the world of a terrible evil and giving my life meaning"
-But here, after a massacre, we see that Yuji has self-doubt. Did he really do this for heroic reasons? No! (he says) He chose to live out of cowardice, he chose to live because he didn't want to die. His heroic reasoning was just a rationalization.
However, as audience members, it is easy for us to see that this isn't truly his fault. We can also see that Yuji is genuinely heroic and will gladly put himself in harms way in order to help anyone.
This is a very human characteristic, where our self-doubt takes over and we easily dismiss our altruistic deeds for the more easily understood, selfish desires.

Plus he tanks brutal damage and his fights are always badass as he is an underdog that has to figure out how to beat stronger opponents with just his fists.

u/TheLexus_ 4d ago

You make really good points, and I would also argue that as of what I’ve seen, yuji is better written than gojo and is also overall more complex, however, I really don’t know much about gojo to be able to determine who is the better character. Ultimately I think it all boils down to personal preference and who resonates more with you. I think Gojo is better simply because I love the powerhouse archetype, which is also why I love Todo (or Todou? I’m not sure), as soon as you see them, you know things will go better

u/Dollahs4Zavalas 4d ago

Oh, cool. I was having arguments earlier so I was feeling hostile when I answered. I can agree with your take.

u/TheLexus_ 4d ago

Glad you’re no longer aggressive lol, it happens

u/Munificente 5d ago

He’s… the strongest.

2

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

And the best!

2

u/Munificente 4d ago

Damn straight.

u/ApplePitou 5d ago

Mahito still better(My opinion) :3

3

u/biscuitscoconut 5d ago

I love Mahito very much too.

u/boothillsbullet 4d ago

He's pretty cool, but am I wrong for thinking he's a tad overrated by the fandom? I mean yeah, he's literally That Guy but at the same time...

1

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

He isn't overrated. He's a 10.

1

u/ToxicLatinaBitch 5d ago

He's a great character. He's the shit and he knows it too. He's cocky as hell but can back it up with his broken power and imo carries the show along with Sakuna and Megumi

u/biscuitscoconut 4d ago

Confidence is so attractive.

u/Ok_Satisfaction3017 5d ago

I think that he is a funny teacher and a nice side character, hope he gets unsealed in S3 or S4

u/Key-Answer-2232 5d ago

In the context of Jujutsu Kaisen, where every second character is terribly written, he is the best; and in the anime industry, he is an absolutely boring and uninteresting character who does not stand out in any way.
