Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death (Season 2, Episodes 1 - 5)
from Otaku Melancholy · host The Otaku Melancholy Team
In this week's episode, I talk about how hot Toji Fushiguro is. That's the entire episode. What does it mean to be a prequel? It means having established lore to follow and not being able to stray from it. It means you can't kill off anyone important so why even bother? Jujutsu Kaisen dared to bother by showing us Gojo's past and explore his relationship with his super best bud Geto and his slow evolution from cool guy to cool guy with a scar on his head who is also kind of racist. Or ability-ist? Jujutsu-ist? Something like that. With only five episodes to cover what could be essential world building, does it even hold up? We don't ask those questions and more all in one hour long handy dandy podcast episode that you should share with the people in your life who have scars on their foreheads!
