As Takeshi clicked the 'Confirm' button, his heart tightened.
On the system screen, the incredibly vast blue sky and white clouds suddenly dispersed, and the starry night descended.
Streaks of starlight continuously converged in the night sky, forming ten bright, twinkling stars. The stars fell like meteors, trailing comets of various colors.
White, green, blue...
Even though he knew that most of the previous draws were of this quality, it was still a gacha, and who hadn't fantasized about getting a gold on the very first try?
Everything depended on the crucial ninth card.
Blue!
Damn it!
If the ninth card had been purple, then this gacha would have had a guarantee of at least 2 purple. Even if the tenth card wasn't gold, it definitely wouldn't have been a big deal.
Now there was no guarantee, which made him very anxious.
Whoosh!
The last streak of starlight fell from the night sky, dragging a golden comet tail.
"Gold!"
"Haha! I got a gold!
Takeshi saw the golden light and once again jumped and cheered excitedly.
Even though he had already drawn many gold character cards, no matter how many he drew, a gold still made him incredibly excited.
Then, the gacha animation ended. Next was the most thrilling moment. Card after card began to flip forward from the very back.
Even though these guys were mostly useless, just experience fodder, when he was in a good mood, even these experience packs looked quite pleasing.
Soon, the last gold card flipped over.
Seeing the character, Takeshi's breathing hitched, his heart pounded faster, and the expression in his eyes and on his face visibly shifted to one of immense excitement.
"It's him!"
This was an exceptionally handsome man with white hair and white eyelashes. Beneath his eyelashes were beautiful pale blue eyes. He had a tall, slender physique, over 190 cm in height, and wore a black uniform, looking very dashing.
It was Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer, the first-year homeroom teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High, and a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
This man was set by the author as the strongest from his very first appearance.
The power he displayed in the early stages indeed matched his position as the strongest, but in the later stages...
The originally fearless Satoru surprisingly started to back down, admitting he was far inferior to Sukuna, and his character somewhat collapsed. And in chapter 236, he suddenly lost the battle and was bisected by Sukuna.
This led to a new meme: Go/Jo, Kit-kat and whatnot.
To be honest, when he first read that part, he was baffled by Gege's outrageous move.
Who were the readers of Jujutsu Kaisen watching?
Was it Yuji, the initially designated protagonist?
Or was it the story of the three youngsters striving to grow?
Neither.
Everyone was watching Gojo, and they all considered him the protagonist of this work. Yet, Gege, in a fine move, actually bisected the protagonist in everyone's hearts.
And then had Yuta, who appeared later and had little screentime, pilot his body.
From that moment on, this work collapsed. Of course, at that time, there was no need to dwell on it too much, because not long after it collapsed, the story concluded.
Out of sight, out of mind, so there was no need to continue following it.
For Takeshi, the story ended when Gojo was bisected, or when he said he was inferior to Sukuna.
However, even though Gojo eventually became Go/Jo, his overall displayed strength was still very great.
Especially that phrase, 'Domain Expansion'.
This became the most captivating aspect of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime.
Takeshi looked at Gojo, and the more he looked, the more he cherished him. In terms of strength, Gojo was not the strongest character card he possessed, but in terms of handsomeness, he was definitely the best.
The official setting was that, aside from his personality, he was flawless. He could cook, do housework, and was excellent at singing.
Moreover, many of Gojo's characteristics were not present in other character cards, making him more suitable for certain special situations than even stronger character cards.
Takeshi selected the blue and lower rarity character cards he had drawn this time. To prevent accidents, he had to double-check to avoid accidentally selecting his important character cards.
[Do you wish to recycle the selected character cards?]
'Yes.'
[Recycling successful! Congratulations, Host, your magic power has increased!]
Takeshi didn't feel much. Magic power only increased in stages every half-star.
And the magic power required to advance from six-star to seven-star was double that needed to go from five-star to six-star. It would take approximately three gold character cards to reach seven-star. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not do something so short-sighted.
Takeshi opened his personal attribute panel.
[Host: Takeshi]
[Age: 19]
[Race: Human]
[Magic Power: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★]
[Magic: Take Over Magic]
[Character Cards: Ulquiorra Cifer (Gold), Tsugikuni Yoriichi (Gold), Fushiguro Toji (Gold), Edward Newgate (Gold), Namikaze Minato (Gold), Gojo Satoru (Gold), Portgas D. Ace (Purple)]
[Gacha Spins: 5]
Looking at his dense collection of gold character cards, Takeshi felt immensely satisfied.
His gacha spins had accumulated to five due to the free monthly spins. Five more spins, and he could do another 10× spin.
Next came another exciting moment.
Full Body Take Over: Gojo Satoru!
Takeshi's body began to change. First, his hair, which was black, turned white. His black eyes transformed into pale blue eyes, which were the Gojo clan's Six Eyes. In Naruto terms, it was a Kekkei Genkai.
Its abilities were somewhat similar to the Byakugan. It possessed 360-degree long-range vision without blind spots, allowing him to see behind himself, from a great distance, and his vision would not be obstructed even if his line of sight was blocked.
It could also discern whether a target was a sorcerer and see through their cursed technique.
It could even track and predict cursed energy trajectories, allowing the wielder to perform precise cursed energy manipulation, which was a prerequisite for properly using Limitless.
Then, Takeshi's clothes also transformed into the style of the Jujutsu High uniform.
Takeshi went to the mirror and carefully admired his new appearance. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
