I just wish he had pardoned more people. Lots of non-violent drug arrests could be overturned.

2024-12-04 01:49:09 +0000 UTCI’m not here to argue or change opinions, but I wanted to share a specific perspective on Geto and his motivations that might add to the conversation. It's going to be long because I also didn't like Geto's perspective at first and thought it was cheap, but i've rewatched and have a lot to say about it now: If you pay attention to the beginning of Episode 1 this season and around 3:20 into the recent episode, there’s a clear parallel: Geto is describing what it feels like to consume cursed spirits. The show deliberately repeats this almost word-for-word, emphasizing its significance. His entire power hinges on consuming cursed spirits and then using them as familiars. For most of his life, Geto has been ingesting the darkest, most malevolent energy—cursed energy generated by humans (since sorcerers and those with Heavenly Restriction are the exceptions to leaking cursed energy). Just consider what kind of psychological toll that might take over time. Yuki Tsukumo, one of the strongest sorcerers, laid out two paths for him. He chose what seemed like the fastest and most "efficient" one—not out of malice, but because he was deeply frustrated. His friends and fellow sorcerers were constantly dying, whether at the hands of cursed spirits or other humans. For instance, the two little girls he rescued were doomed if they stayed in their village. They were imprisoned because the villagers mistakenly believed the girls were the source of the cursed spirits, when in reality, the villagers themselves were to blame. The only “crime” these girls committed was being able to see curses. Additionally, there’s the scene in the morgue with Nanami, where Geto mourns the death of a fellow sorcerer. It highlights his growing frustration with how sorcerers constantly sacrifice themselves for a world that barely acknowledges them. Lastly, Geto’s growing distance from Gojo might have been the final breaking point. Just as much as Geto grounded Gojo, Gojo did the same for Geto. Gojo often voiced radical ideas about humanity, and Geto would counterbalance him, almost as if playing devil’s advocate. This dynamic worked because Geto’s own frustrations with non-sorcerers were mirrored in Gojo’s remarks. However, when Gojo became “perfect,” their time together diminished, leaving Geto alone with his thoughts and frustrations. While I don’t agree with Geto’s choices, it’s clear that environmental factors were heavily stacked against him, and his path was shaped by circumstances that would challenge anyone.
