Okay, y’all, let’s talk about Geto Suguru. If you’ve seen Jujutsu Kaisen, then you know that this guy isn’t your average villain. No, no—he’s got layers, like an onion that you peel away until you’re crying, but not because you’re sad (well, maybe a little). Geto’s journey is one of tragic villainy, and boy, it’s a ride from start to finish.
So, grab your snacks (or, in my case, an iced coffee that’s a little too sweet), because we’re diving into the cursed path that led Geto Suguru to go from being a righteous sorcerer to one of the most feared villains in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
The Early Life of Geto Suguru
Once upon a time, Geto Suguru was just another ambitious young sorcerer in training. He wasn’t the “chosen one” or anything, but he was good—real good. And for a while, he and his buddy, Satoru Gojo, were living that dream. Two peas in a pod, fighting cursed spirits, saving the day. Classic duo material, right?
I imagine them high-fiving after taking down some cursed spirits. Kinda like how I used to feel after finishing a crossword puzzle (don’t ask me to solve one now, though—my brain is not what it once was).
But there’s always a tipping point. For Geto, it wasn’t a sudden snap of his fingers—it was more like a slow boil. You see, he was watching the system he was part of and how Jujutsu Sorcerers (read: the so-called “good guys”) operated. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. Eventually, he grew tired of it. Tired of the corruption. Tired of being in a world where things didn’t make sense anymore.
And let’s be real—there’s only so much corruption one guy can tolerate before they start thinking, “Maybe the system needs a little shake-up.”
The Transformation of Geto Suguru: From Sorcerer to Villain
Alright, now we’re getting into the good stuff. This part? This is where Geto’s transformation from a righteous sorcerer to the villain we all know and love (to hate?) happens.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: the guy had a rough time. It wasn’t just one bad day. It wasn’t even one bad month. This was years of frustration building up. His friendship with Gojo started to fray at the edges. And let’s face it, friendship goals turned into villainous rivalry.
Geto Suguru’s issues started with the “Jujutsu society.” He wasn’t a fan. At all. This is where things went from bad to worse for him.
A World of Corruption
Fast forward to Geto realizing that the world wasn’t really built for the common folks (or the weak, in his words). For him, it was a case of, “If you’ve got cursed energy, you’re cool. If you don’t? Well, then you’re basically a non-entity.” A little harsh, right? But it’s what he believed, and once that belief took root, there was no going back.
And you’ve gotta give him some credit—he wasn’t wrong about everything. I mean, look at the Jujutsu society. It’s got more layers of corruption than a soggy slice of pizza. But Geto? He took it to the extreme, thinking that wiping out humanity (no biggie) was the answer.
Geto Suguru’s Relationship with Satoru Gojo
Now, let’s talk about Satoru Gojo. Oh boy. If you think your friendships are complicated, wait until you get a load of these two.
If you’ve read Jujutsu Kaisen, you know that Gojo and Geto were close—super close. I’m talking “we got your back, no matter what” levels of close. But the thing is, as Geto’s beliefs changed, so did his relationship with Gojo. It was like watching two people fall out of love, except it was more about ideologies than feelings.
The Ultimate Betrayal
Picture this: Geto goes from buddying up with Gojo to literally saying, “Screw this, I’m out.” That’s right. He left. And why? Because Geto Suguru was done with the whole Jujutsu Sorcerer lifestyle. He wanted to be more. More powerful. More in control.
And that’s where he starts leading the Curse User faction—basically recruiting cursed spirits like they’re his new best friends. I guess if your old crew is disappointing, you find a new one, right?
The Ideals of Geto Suguru: A Villain’s Philosophy
Oh, and did I mention that Geto had some wild ideas about what should happen in the world? He did. And they’re not your typical villain ideas either. Forget the “destroy the world for fun” trope. Nah. This guy was all about creating a world for the cursed. Cursed spirits should rule. Humans were just… useless.
Let me break this down for you, cause I’m not gonna lie, when I first read this, I was like, “Huh, that’s… a lot.”
- Cursed Energy = Power: Basically, if you had cursed energy, you were in the winner’s circle. If you didn’t, you were kinda just… there. Like the person who’s always picked last in gym class. Ouch.
- The Cursed Should Rule: Yeah, Geto believed that curses were superior beings. To him, curses weren’t just evil spirits—they were the future. I’m still trying to process that.
- Humanity? Eh, Not So Much: In Geto’s eyes, humans were weak, and not worth much. They were a nuisance. So, you can imagine how that went down with the folks trying to save them.
Geto Suguru’s Powers: A Force to Be Reckoned With
Okay, this is where things get spicy. Let’s talk about Geto Suguru’s powers for a sec because, man, did he have some. It’s not just that he’s got this great sense of entitlement—he’s also a force.
The Power of the Curse Manipulation
First of all, Geto’s curse manipulation abilities are no joke. This dude can control curses. Not just that, but he can collect them and use them for whatever he wants. It’s like if your worst nightmare came alive and you could make it do the dishes. I mean, no one’s ever going to argue with that kind of power.
Geto’s Cursed Spirit Army
But wait—there’s more. Not only does Geto control curses, but he also creates an army of them. Yep. Think about that next time you’re annoyed by a traffic jam. He could literally summon cursed spirits to take over everything. It’s not even fair at this point.
Key Moments in Geto Suguru’s Villainous Journey
So, what’s the deal with Geto Suguru’s journey as a villain? Well, there were a few pivotal moments that really solidified his status as that guy.
- The Death of Riko Amanai: Yeah, this was a game-changer. Riko’s death hit Geto hard. He’d been trying to protect her, but in the end, it felt like the world betrayed him. And, boy, that was when he was like, “You know what? Screw it. Humanity’s out.”
- His Battle with Gojo: I mean, how can you not talk about this? This fight was the epitome of “best friends turned bitter enemies.” It was intense, it was personal, and it was ugly.
- The Curse User Faction: By this point, Geto had fully crossed over to the other side. He led the Curse User faction, and his mission was clear: destroy humanity and let curses rule the world. It’s a big mood, honestly.
The Legacy of Geto Suguru
So, what’s left of Geto Suguru after all that chaos? Well, his legacy is still alive and kicking. This guy’s impact on the Jujutsu Kaisen world? Huge. Like, “everyone’s trying to figure out what to do about it” levels of huge.
His actions left scars that can’t be healed overnight. But there’s one thing you can’t take away: the dude had vision. Too bad it was for the wrong world, right?
The Lasting Impact of Geto Suguru
- New Villains, New Threats: Geto’s belief system inspired a new wave of villains, which, uh, isn’t great if you’re a sorcerer.
- Shaking the Jujutsu World: His actions forced the Jujutsu world to re-evaluate its approach. It’s like when you realize your go-to ramen shop changed the broth—everything’s off.
- Tragic Hero?: Some might say Geto’s tragic. Maybe. He could’ve been a hero, but he chose to walk down the cursed path. Sometimes, heroes are made by the choices they don’t make.
Conclusion
And there you have it. The cursed, twisted journey of Geto Suguru—from righteous sorcerer to a villain who wanted to reshape the world. It’s a heck of a ride, and honestly, I can’t wait to see how his story unfolds (hopefully with less heartbreak for the rest of us).
