GUYS GUYS IM LOSING MY FUCKIN SHIT
oh shit am i late to rqs-- IF NOT u should draw them playing viddy games together <3333
Sonic did not come out of this unscathed btw
He’s struggling
I think it's actually crazy how much satosugu fans are winning right now.
There is so much beautiful official art of these two. By official, I mean jjk animators are coming out with these works of art.
Not to mention, we have an entire jjk0 light novel that feels like it came straight out of some heartfelt angsty ao3 fic with 100k+ words
also now we have the official s2 guide book that is making people go berserk because of suguru's waist (real)
Also just some cute details about the voice actors who played gojo + geto
I unfortunately can't find the source but there was this one interview where Suguru's VA says that the director specifically instructed him to say 'Satoru' as if he was a wife calling for their husband..yeah.. that's normal
In the jjk s2 guide book--that also had the drawings of Suguru shown earlier--it is revealed that Suguru sees Satoru as a sort of talisman that will protect him, hence why he wears a Gojo-kesa when he's older. Satoru sees Suguru as a moral compass, which is actually shown in the anime; when Gojo is holding Riko's dead body, he asks Suguru if he should kill everyone, basing his decisions off of what Suguru says.
Also just a fun fact: Gege is a total fudanshi (meaning he likes BL) and has taken inspiration from literal gay mangas to create JJK.
In conclusion, satosugu has been totally winning and it's a fire ship
cred for art above: pruu (artstation)
movement
the op of jjk season 2 is rife with symbolism. there's one particular motif, however, that foreshadows the trajectory (and tragedy) of gojo and geto's love story.
almost immediately, we see geto running through the rain. the stylistic choice to portray him holding his bag over his head is deliberate, because it emphasizes what he conspicuously doesn’t have but so clearly needs: an umbrella.
gojo, on the other hand, is not operating with the same sense of urgency, seen through him taking his time looking at a cat. gojo has what geto needs, but he's not rushing. their behaviour is incongruous; geto is hurrying to get out of the rain, and gojo remains still, because he’s absolutely not hurrying at all.
the sense of urgency is compounding, seen through geto bouncing his leg. he’s waiting impatiently in the rain, and he's not using his bag to cover up his head anymore. geto knows gojo is coming; that's why he's impatient— because he's waiting for someone who has what he needs that hasn’t shown up yet.
geto needs him, yet gojo doesn’t pick up the pace. this is despite the fact that he needs to because it’s raining and geto doesn’t have an umbrella. we, as the audience, feel geto's impatience and we're urging gojo on, yet he still doesn't go any faster.
sharing an umbrella is an established trope in japan. it’s widely recognized and practiced enough to have its own designated terminology.
gojo is bringing an umbrella for them to share. that's why it’s repeatedly reinforced to the audience that geto doesn't have one. that’s also why the shots cut between them; it highlights what gojo has that geto doesn’t, and in doing so, ties the narrative together through the umbrella.
by the time gojo finally shows up, the sun has come out. gojo lowers the umbrella and smiles sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. contrarily, geto almost seems resigned, like he’s accepted the fact that gojo took too long. they can’t share the umbrella anymore because they missed their chance to use it.
we can see that geto is saying something to gojo when he finally shows up with the umbrella. you know what i would bet actual money it probably was?
“you’re late, satoru.”
...And after everything he returned to the Ark...
...And all he was greeted by was silence...
