I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, y’all are making it hard to not develop a burning hatred of Yuji
I love JJK, I really do. It’s definitely in my top 10 anime of all time, but holy fuck this sub has made it hard to remember why I like Yuji as a character. You all have been using him as a tool to shit on Denji because he isn’t an inspiring hero like him.
Somebody smart said something along the lines of “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life feeling stupid,” and that’s what you all are doing with Denji, while using another good character as a weapon.
As I was writing this post, this paragraph was originally a character analysis of Denji showing how he’s just as well written but different, even in part 2 up until the last chapter, but I decided there was no point. At best I’ll be preaching to the choir, and at worst I’ll be talking to a brick wall. No person that has been treating Denji the way I’ve been seeing is gonna read my words and change their mind.
Yes, I am aware of part 2’s failings even if I really think the only real failure was the last chapter. In my perfect world, after being eaten alongside Pochita by the unnamed bug devils, he would’ve just fucking died there and the story would end like that.
But anyway, this post serves no one but me. So I’ll focus on myself. Denji is a character near and dear to my heart, and I see a lot of myself in him, so when I see some mouth breathers saying shit, it feels shit is being said about me. As unhealthy as that is, fuck changing that part of me, you mess with Denji you mess with me. (I’m a fucking cringelord)
The thing that makes this even more infuriating to me is the use of a character like Yuji to do this. I fucking love Yuji, who doesn’t? Yet you all are making me approach hatred for him. I gotta remind myself to not hate the sword, but to hate the wielder.
This post has probably gone wildly off topic, so I’ll bring things back. It’s only been one fucking week, and this sub is this insufferable. I know some people gotta feel the same way.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this post gets removed, it’s not exactly constructive at all, but I just needed to say *something* after everything.
Nobody cares, but I’ll probably end up muting the sub until the episode comes out if this keeps up. Anyway.
