Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 513 The Willful Cartoonist

Gojo Satoru was killed by Ryomen Sukuna by being cut in half in a particularly clownish way.

Although it seemed like a fierce battle, he was ultimately defeated and died tragically.

But Gojo Satoru's death seemed too casual.

For a character like this who is not only the most popular but also an important character throughout the entire comic plot, his death must be full of tragedy.

Like the big brother Mann in "Edgewalker", first of all, Mann's death is full of fatalism, that is, before that he had already developed serious symptoms of cyberpsychiatry - cyberderangement.

But he cannot get rid of the burden of his prosthetics, because as the big brother of the cyberpunk team, those powerful prosthetics on his body are his responsibility to protect team members.

In a sense, he died to protect his team members.

Although he also had his own selfish thoughts, he did not want to give up everything he had worked so hard to gain along the way.

But in the end, at least he died for David, and his death helped David grow up completely.

His death was full of a sense of fate and the heroism of dying for the protagonist. The same words that describe David's ending can also be used to describe him -

"Greatness in life, glory in death."

There is no doubt that Gojo Satoru is a character that is basically comparable to Mann.

At the same time, he has a personality that Mann doesn't have, which is... invincibility.

He is the strongest sorcerer of our time, and according to the plot description, he will undoubtedly become the strongest sorcerer in history.

The previous plot has really described many times that he will defeat Ryomen Sukuna.

Plot foreshadowing such as "I will win", "Declaration of victory after waking up", and "You are the challenger" all indicate that Gojo Satoru is destined to win this battle.

In the end you said... Gojo Satoru lost?

Moreover, Gojo Satoru’s death scene lacks tragedy and resonance, and is not as shocking as Mann in Edgewalker.

Therefore, it seems very abrupt and speechless, which makes comic fans feel very disappointed.

It is equivalent to a college entrance examination candidate who has always had good grades in previous exams and even got the first place in the city in the mock exam.

He went to take the college entrance examination with full confidence, but the final result showed that he didn't even pass the undergraduate entrance exam...

Who wouldn't be disappointed in him?

And this is just too ridiculous.

It is so absurd that it is hard to accept and even makes people question it.

And the key point is that Gojo Satoru's overconfident words before the decisive battle have now turned into boomerangs and memes.

He was so confident before the battle, thinking that he could definitely defeat Ryomen Sukuna, and that Ryomen Sukuna was the challenger.

But in the end he died, and his death was very funny.

It's like a person brazenly saying that the championship in this competition is definitely his.

He also mocked the former champion, saying that he was the challenger.

The result... was defeated easily by the defending champion.

Isn't this the clown?
The people of the Republic have always adhered to the doctrine of the mean and do not like people who are too arrogant.

But being arrogant is actually not a big deal. If you have the ability, then of course you can be as arrogant as you want.

On the contrary, your arrogance is seen as a kind of confidence by others.

But the prerequisite is that you have the ability to have the last laugh.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the middle, the arrogance will turn into conceit and insolence.

This is the image of Gojo Satoru now. He appeared so confident at the beginning, but died so clownishly in the end.

The character's setting completely collapsed before and after this, which is a taboo enough to sentence a work to death.

The questioning voices of comic fans are enough to make a comic work fall from heaven to hell.

This is the case with all the fans of Jujutsu Kaisen. They all expressed doubts and dissatisfaction online.

"Ah? Five cats died just like that?"

"Classic joke - 'Will you win?' 'You will win.'"

"What kind of plot is this... Gojo Satoru is such a clown. It seems that what Ryoumen Sukuna said is right. He is just a mortal who was not born in Sukuna's era."

"I admire you so much, Gojo Satoru. I think I will never forget you in my life. (laughs)"

"Declaration of victory after awakening (×)
The clown show after waking up (√)"

"This is really outrageous. My whole mood has been ruined by this crap plot."

"Gojo Satoru (×)
2.5 Enlightenment (√)"

"God damn 2.5 Satoru, it's so funny."

"Now that things have come to this, I can only hope that Jujutsu Kaisen will have the same ending as Gojo Satoru."

"He was also beheaded, right? What a vicious statement!"

"Celebrate! After "The Gods" and "Itchy Mouse", there is another author and work that has turned a masterpiece into a historical work!"

"Akutami-kun can only say... he should just go back to being the old thief Aoyama's assistant. With his current level, he can only be the old thief Aoyama's assistant for the rest of his life."

"How could Qingshan the old thief have such an assistant when his reputation has been damaged?"

"By the way, is it that Aoyama the old thief has been taking on the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen before, but now he is no longer taking on the role?"

"What does it have to do with Qingshan the old thief? Qingshan the old thief has so many comics and animations that have never failed."

"It's just that Akutami is disgusting and trash, and he has brought disaster upon the reputation of the old thief Aoyama."

"The old thief Qingshan has lost his integrity in his later years. The worst thing is that he let Akutami become his assistant."

"It's so disgusting. People like Akutami Gege are just like Itchy Mouse. I will never watch their works again in my life."

……

The bad reviews and discussions on the Internet became louder and louder, and then some people made a series of plot reversals in "Jujutsu Kaisen", such as "We will win", "Declaration of victory after waking up", "You are the challenger", "There was not even a moment to mourn the death of Gojo Satoru, the next person to arrive on the battlefield is..." and "Gojo Satoru is really admirable...", into memes.

These jokes are indeed very interesting at first glance.

As a result, netizens who originally didn't know about "Jujutsu Kaisen" were attracted and began to understand the ins and outs of it.

Then... they also joined in the meme-making.

Compared to the anger and heartache of the loyal fans of "Jujutsu Kaisen", these netizens are mostly people who like to have fun.

So one by one, people made fun of the memes and the whole internet became a hot topic.

At the same time, it also made "Jujutsu Kaisen" a real hot joke.

Some fans even made it into a series of meme pictures for other comic works.

For example, David and Adam Hammer in Edgewalker. Using the composition of Jujutsu Kaisen, Adam Hammer said to David who was beaten to pieces, "I admire you so much, David. I think I will never forget you in my life."

In the recently concluded "Fate Stay Night", Shirou said to Gilgamesh, "I admire you, Gilgamesh. I think I will never forget you in my life."

However, the most fitting meme is still "Protoss", which, in the eyes of comic fans, could have been a masterpiece but ended up being a piece of shit.

However, the series of memes in "The Protoss" turned into Herzog's words to the author Yang Shuzhun, "I admire you, Yangyangshu. I think I will never forget you in my life."

Then she licked his face with great satisfaction.

In addition, of course, there is the sentence "Without even a moment to mourn the death of XXX, the next person to arrive on the battlefield is..."

Also, "There was not even a moment to mourn the death of the fifteenth apostle. The next to rush to the battlefield were... the sixteenth apostle."

"Without even a moment's mourning for the death of the King of Earth and Mountains, the next to arrive on the battlefield was the White King Herzog."

"Without even a moment to mourn Hill's death, the next person to arrive on the battlefield was... Brand."

……

Such jokes make the Internet's funny people laugh like crazy.

But at the same time, "Jujutsu Kaisen" also became popular because of this.

It’s just this way of breaking the circle…

This is probably not what the cartoonists wanted.

Although black and red are also red, they must be able to be converted into income.

This way of breaking the circle will only put "Jujutsu Kaisen" into a more difficult situation.

This incident made the comics world extremely angry after receiving the news.

……

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the messy curtains, casting patches of light on the drawings and scraps of paper scattered all over the floor.

In this apartment, the air was filled with the mixed smell of coffee and ink.

A large table barely protruded from the pile of papers, on which were placed a drawing board and messy colored pencils, some of which had their tips worn so hard that the colors were almost unrecognizable.

There was a pile of laundry in the corner, and an empty wine bottle stood alone on the edge of the sofa.

On the sofa, a few open comic books were pressed under some casually rolled blankets.

On the floor, there was a leftover pizza box and several instant noodle buckets. The walls were covered with various sketches and notes, including some graffiti-covered sticky notes, which were messy but seemed full of anger.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge poster in the center, which seems to be a photo of a super athlete skiing.

But at this moment, part of the poster had been torn apart in anger, and the missing part happened to be the athlete's upper body.

“Ding-ling-ling——!”

The phone rang from the bed.

Akutami Yuta, who was hungover, reluctantly got up from the bed, picked up the phone and answered it, asking in a daze, "Hello? This is Akutami Yuta."

"Yuta!"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was his editor, Ayumi Ito.

"Your Jujutsu Kaisen... there's a big problem with the plot recently!"

Ito Ayumi took a deep breath and said, "I said that the plot of Gojo Satoru being cut off is absolutely not acceptable! If it is released, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the fans! Now the fans are already dissatisfied with this plot online!"

After all, she is the editor-in-chief of Akutami Yuta, so she has read the plot of "Jujutsu Kaisen" and raised questions at the first opportunity.

Even from a layman's perspective, the plot of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is full of controversy, and it is also a plot that can easily cause the collapse of character settings.

The first thing Ito Ayumi wanted was to ask Akutami Yuta to take it back and redraw it.

But what can we do... Once a cartoonist's work becomes a hit and becomes extremely popular, he or she will have a huge say.

The same was true for Yuta Akutami. He immediately said that there was no need to redraw it, and even called the new deputy editor-in-chief to inform him.

Benjamin Rothschild is not a comic book fan, he is just a successful businessman.

So he ignored the opposition of many people and ignored the traitor Ayumi Ito who "openly supported Lin Qingshan" and directly passed this episode of "Jujutsu Kaisen".

However...after the episode of "Jujutsu Kaisen" came out, its reputation and popularity collapsed severely.

He shifted the blame onto Ayumi Ito, which is what made people most infuriated.

But things have come to this... The manga has already updated this chapter, and we can't delete it and let Yuta Akutami redraw it when the fans haven't read it and don't know about it.

Ito Ayumi can only give a reasonable explanation for the plot behind Akutami Yuta, or follow public opinion...

Resurrect the popular character Gojo Satoru.

"If you are dissatisfied, then you are dissatisfied!"

Akutami Yuta shouted angrily, "This is my comic, I can do whatever I want!"

"Do you know that the plot of this chapter of yours has seriously destroyed the character setting of Gojo Satoru?"

Ito Ayumi frowned and said, "Gojo Satoru is going to go from being a popular character to a clown-like character."

"I just want him to become a clown!"

However, Akutami Yuta replied angrily, "This is the punishment I gave him! He actually... actually betrayed us!"

When he was an assistant under Lin Qingshan, he had heard his teacher say that.

Death is the final way to complete a character. What a character is like in the end depends on how he dies.

So...he deliberately wanted to portray Gojo Satoru as an arrogant clown.

Just like the prototype of this character, he is just a guy who relies on the support of fans to be so arrogant. How dare he... dare to get married and betray them?

Yuta Akutami was very angry. The character of Gojo Satoru was originally drawn by him based on his idol, and was also his favorite character.

But now...the news of his idol's marriage has come out, and he is extremely disappointed and angry towards his idol.

Naturally, he was extremely angry and disappointed with the character of Gojo Satoru, so... he wanted to destroy Gojo Satoru, the character he hated the most.

And this ending is the ultimate shaping of this character - becoming the Joker!
"Yuta...are you doing this on purpose?"

Ito Ayumi frowned, but said in confusion.

"Ito-san, I won't change the plot. Let's leave it at that."

Akutami Yuta said stiffly, "This is my comic work, I have the final say! Those comic fans are nothing! And the original protagonist of "Jujutsu Kaisen" was not this annoying guy, but Itadori!"

Then he hung up the phone.

Ayumi Ito looked at the hung up phone in astonishment. This was the first time she had met such a willful cartoonist.

At this time, Lin Qingshan, who originally didn't know the latest plot of "Jujutsu Kaisen", finally found out about this matter by surfing the Internet and seeing netizens making jokes.
