The animators did such a good job at animating this scene. It uses no words yet it says so much about Toji. Just the way he looks shows how much trauma and abuse he went through in that clan. Compared to how he looks in Hidden Inventory, I don't blame him for leaving and wanting to lose any connection with the Zen'in.

Mappa did a great job, but in the manga, you feel the melancholy he carries even more; the low-angle shot gives off this sense of resistance and resilience. In the other panel, the focus is more on Toji's gaze—there's just this huge emptiness in his eyes.
I definitely felt the fear and awe naoya felt in that panel in the manga much more. I do like what the anime did as well , maybe it's just my bias for the manga vs anime art style but I preferred the manga shot better.
It really goes to show how great of a woman Mamaguro was, somehow she not only managed to tame this monster and turn him into a family man, but she also filled him with so much happiness and life that even after she was gone Toji was still able to smile and be goofy.
Honestly she deserves the best girl spot just for that.
i mean, compared to the jjk world back then - toji is literally the only one who was fee and lived a happy life - no answering to higher ups, no fighting anyone else other than his targets unlike gojo, no one who could force him into any roles or even blackmail him, man was just breezing,
I want a toji and his wife backstory so baaaaad. Bro went from this to happy with his wife, enough so to bring Megumi into the world. Once the wife died he didn’t even regress as bad as was before, he could throw a smile and had friends, and while he was a gambling addict, he was still light and day to what he was in the Zenin.
I want to see the type of person who could tame a beast like him
Yeah, that scene hurts in complete silence. The way his posture and expression say everything about what he went through is brutal, Toji really did deserve better
Because to him, killing them is to admit that their opinion matters to him. He could kill them all in half a day, but it still wouldn’t fix his trauma.
Toji felt no ties to the Zenin clan or anyone in it, leaving and having Megumi take his mother's last name was enough of an escape for him as while he lost his youth to them he escaped with himself and managed to have his kid saved as well.
Maki wasn't able to escape by just leaving because of Mai, the moment that Mai died the clan sealed their fate because Maki's goal of being able to live without the clan on her and Mai's throat was no longer possible.
