Something that has annoyed me for a long while is the pseudo discussion of what 'really means' romantic in this context. Mostly because I feel people choose a really vague and superficial interpretation
Let's just talk about the artistic movement, so that should be it right? What's more to say after that? Well, simply that the movement isn't just opposite to love, why would it be when the point is the importance of emotions?
Passion is what shapes the movement, the force that opposes logic and cold calculations and measures. Gojo is the vivid expression of passionate when it comes to Geto. You can see it in his speech, expression and movement.
Gojo gets distracted, becomes vulnerable but also he doesn't listen to the reason on his Six Eyes, he knows in his soul that that man isn't Geto
It's that passion and lack of reason that makes him travel right to Geto's body location even though logically one would wait and see what the best course of actions could be better
That same passion that makes him want to mourn geto's body before fighting
Nostalgia and Idealization of a past era is probably the second most important aspect of Romanticism and the whole point of the relationship between Gojo and Geto. The Blue Spring.
We never see his past further than Geto unless it's through the eyes of outsiders like Toji or curse users, not even his parents.
Geto caused him to become a teacher, to speak more kindly, he didn't become a murderer because of him, his moral compass, he returns to his teen years in the airport
Geto is Gojo's past, the best moments of his life and the time Geto profoundly changed him. Gojo LIVES in Nostalgia
Just as a free bonus I'll also give you the reveration for nature which is present right in the movement that those years are equated to Gojo's Blue Spring.
Not only that but just as Gojo is associated to winter by his birth so is Geto to spring, becoming a personified arrival of spring after winter.
The anime particularly is very fond of using flowers and leaves in the ending of Hidden inventory to precisely showcase the relationship between the characters
Gojo's Romantization of Geto is the moving forth of the story and it's precisely that what makes Gojo take extreme and illogical actions, such as killing the higher ups or imagining him with the rest of his allies, longing to have him by his side.
