Suguru Geto - character analysis (incomplete)
Crying about Geto because he … he went through so much. Geto was compassionate and idealistic before he defected. After such intense, prolonged trauma caused by the darkness of humans, and after growing disillusioned towards the world due to how unhelpful jujutsu society was— Geto felt utterly confused, resentful, and abandoned. The very system that was supposed to represent goodness (Jujutsu Society) simply prolonged the cycle of pain and suffering. It failed everyone— it failed him. In his turmoil, Geto was overcome by disenchantment, losing his faith, his good nature replaced with bitterness and a developed, narrow perspective on the world. Geto believed people were unworthy of ruling, and the only way to save the world from its already unjust systems, was to overthrow everything and use power to rule.
Do I believe what Geto did was okay? Absolutely not. He had much too rigid a way of seeing humans— as all bad— and that was a fallacy. But he was only 17 when he faced such confusing, extreme, difficult circumstances. I can’t blame him. He WAS good. But being around constant darkness wore him down, thus he descended into a callous man devoid of empathy. His actions after defecting are deplorable and not okay, however, he truly deserves compassion too. Many in his situation would’ve ended up horribly warped like him.
Oh Geto… I’m sorry for ever judging you…
