crazy line

but anyway,

gojo's last words to geto are the one thing about jujutsu kaisen that i keep thinking about over and over. The first time i watched the movie it was in italian and idk if that's something generally known or if anyone ever discussed it at all but in the ita version the last words have been dubbed, (they're not in the subs tho, which is strange but oh well...). Gojo says:

"Suguru, caro amico mio..."

"Suguru, my dear friend..."

Now, a few premises,

Italian dubs and adaptations have a history of chensorship

Doesn't really explain geto's reaction, unless it's bc he realized gojo only ever thought of him as a dear friend and never really hated him

What i consider canon is what get written down in the manga, everything else is mmmm not so canon

But regardless, as much as i would love to hear I'll be lonely without you or I love you, i still think in truth it's something along the line of "you're my best friend", or "you're my dear friend".

Now, on the meaning and the translation:

Caro amico mio it's not the same as mio caro amico: 'mio caro amico' is what translates from 'my dear friend', the actual litteral translation from the dubbed line in the italian version of JJK0 it's something like 'dear friend of mine' (but that was uselessly verbose imo so i picked the simple version, the dots kinda make up for what gets lost).

so,

caro amico mio,

mio caro amico,

amico mio caro,

...

“At least curse me a little at the very end.”

Gojo opens his mouth and tries his very best to let out the words he had kept safe for so long. His last words to his forever best friend.  

I love you. 

I love you. I love you. I love you.

I love you.

He tries but he can’t. He closes his mouth. Opens it again. Nothing comes out.

I can’t.

Because letting these words free would mean cursing Geto, and Gojo loves him too much to do it. Loves him too much to let him be devoured by the thing he devoured all his life. 

And Suguru understands what Gojo’s silence means. Of course he does, he always did when it was about Gojo, he may not have any special eye, much less six, but he’s able to see right through Satoru just fine. 

And Geto smiles. He smiles even though he had just said he didn’t have any reason in this world to be truly happy. Even so. And that’s probably the last true smile Gojo’s gonna see, and god…

It hurts. 

I love you, Gojo thinks another time, but this time he doesn’t even try to say it louder. Geto already knows and this knowledge doesn’t relieve the weight of the burden he’s carrying even since Suguru announced his attack. 

He has a job to do here, he isn’t here as Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto’s best friend, his one and only. 

He’s here as a jujutsu sorcerer. The strongest.

As the teacher of the students that just now got attacked by the man in front of him.   

Even so. 

Even so.

He still can’t. He lifts his arm, aims his attack. Geto’s almost gone, he just needs to give one blow. 

He knows he didn’t finish his job, he can feel he didn’t. But even if he’s so, so powerful, he isn’t powerful enough to take another look, he isn’t powerful enough to give another blow, he isn’t powerful enough to wait there to see and feel the life waving away from his lover’s life.
