This is actually a criminally underrated panel because it packs so much meaning that is rather easy to miss. Gojo reaches a major epiphany here that I wanted to dissect a bit. When Gojo confronted Geto in Shinjuku after his defection, he was haunted by the question: Why?+

- Replying to @Blehbleh289875Ngl I have a different interpretation of this scene. I think they had serious faces on not because of the body takeover plan but because they were shocked by seeing how serious Gojo himself looked. It’s why when Yuji broke Gojo’s “locked in” face, the others also joined him.
- Replying to @PawbertyHitFirst thing he does after taking Megumi’s body is changing his hair lol.
- Replying to @InvernessDriveto take such drastic and ghastly action because he's experiencing a similar compulsion here. Geto was pushed far enough to the point where he was willing to compromise his own morals for the sake of his newly developed ideals and Gojo felt he needed to cross that bridge as well.
- Replying to @InvernessDriveIt is when Gojo finally resolves to kill the higher-ups, despite the decision being something that went against his own principles and he struggled with, that he finally understood Geto's actions back then. He was able to comprehend the compulsion that Geto felt which led him+
- Replying to @InvernessDriveGojo couldn't possibly understand why someone like Geto—in whose morality he had more faith than even in his own—would do something that so clearly stands against his own principles. Gojo found Geto's actions to be utterly incomprehensible...that is until the scene in 261.+
- Replying to @InvernessDriveDisclaimer: This thread does not completely capture the full complexity of Kenjaku's characterization throughout the manga but rather deals with the central theme of his character which is also the core of his fight with Takaba and eventual end. Hope you had fun reading this!
- Replying to @KaiyoBreezeI haven’t read the leaks but people are missing the point. Each character has a certain aspect that clashes with Sukuna’s and so far all of them have failed to overcome the abyss that Sukuna represents.
- Replying to @InvernessDriveUnfortunately for Kenjaku he had betrayed his reason for living by finding something outside the merger to be fun. Just like how Gojo died the moment he stopped being the strongest, Kenjaku died the moment his idea of needing the merger to be entertained was debunked by Takaba.
