Summary
- Jujutsu Kaisen failed to give the much anticipated best final arc
- The death of Gojo Satoru was not executed well as for a strongest sorcerer
- There are several characteristics that the anime failed to promote compared to other shonens
Jujutsu Kaisen is a Gen Z based shonen anime which became more popular in a short period of time. All the more demonstrates Jujutsu Kaisen’s influence in the ani-manga industry with its great illustrations, action-packed sequences, and unique universe. Yet, the show still managed to acquire millions of passionate fans Nevertheless, most of these fans think that the series fails in some way and has the potential of being one of the lost. There are several main aspects where Jujutsu Kaisen might have missed the mark even though it has been nothing short of amazing.
Poorly focussed Side Characters
In addition to its multifarious charms, Jujutsu Kaisen presents the anime fans with a large cast of compelling characters and yet so many of them come across as underdeveloped or mistreated. Minor characters, for instance, Maki Zenin, Panda, or Yuta Okkotsu often get extremely limited portrayal simply leaving fans wanting more info on what has driven them. Every side characters had a great potential in the Culling Game Arc where they all fight to unseal Gojo Satoru however, the author didn’t go with the same writing in the final battle. Even one of the main trio, Megumi Fushiguro is sidelined in the end eventhough he was claimed to be one of the key member in the jujutsu world being the son of Toji and Gojo, also the member of the Zenin Clan.
No Emotional In-depth
Despite being one of the best examples of action and dark setting shows, Jujutsu Kaisen regularly fails in providing the proper emotional context, which would only make the show even better. It’ll be seen that this strong element of mortality is at times lost largely due to insufficient interaction and build up to give audiences an emotional shock.
Rushing of Story Arcs
Jujutsu Kaisen reached high feets because of its lesser episodes with zero fillers, however, certain story arcs Despite its many strengths, though, pacing is one of the most significant weaknesses of Jujutsu Kaisen. Some of these arcs like Culling Game arc while appealing to fans’ inner geek are just too factious, so crammed with lore that it is hard for a new reader to discern the moment’s purpose or stakes. However, it seems other arcs recur to different techniques that kill interest and momentum more often.
Zero Elevation for the Main Protagonist
Yuji Itadori who was the main protagonist in the series who was shown to be the not-so-strongest one who fails in protecting his loved ones and swears to get stronger to kill the king of curses, Ryomen Sukuna by himself who lives within him. In the final Shinjuku battle Yuji’s power up was expected to be the best part but the author failed to bring out that too. No deep explanation and clearance was given for Yuji’s domain expansion and the depth between the battle of him and Sukuna. The fight missed the grandeur and the preakness for the climax fight of a protagonist and antagonist.
Clan-Based Story Ignorance
Jujutsu Kaisen involves the story of jujutsu sorcerers from the strongest clans just like other top shonen animes but it doesn’t give a proper story about the origin of the top clans like Satoru, and Zenin. The rivalry within the top clans can be elaborated more deeply to connect with the storyline. This would have brought the importance of Jujutsu sorcerers also the screen space of every clan member.
No Justification for Gojo Satoru’s Character
The character reach of Gojo Satoru was the backbone of Jujutsu Kaisen becoming more popular. The character was claimed to be the strongest one from the beginning of the series, getting the limelight of main protagonist all on himself. But his character portrayal failed in the final battle against Sukuna, fans felt that the death of Gojo Satoru was not justifiable and fans waited for his return at the very end which made them disappointed. The uncertain death of Gojo has made the series move into less anticipation and despair.
Worst ending for the Highly Loved Antagonist
The antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, Ryomen Sukuna is undoubtedly one of the most loved antagonists of the shonen anime. The final manga chapter of JJK brought a childish ending to the most classic villain of the jujutsu world. All the ending and the battle makes you feel that the author has gone for a rushed ending rather than working on a fiery ending for the king of curses. In the end, Sukuna turns into a blob-like form where he tells that he will lives and dies by his wish.
However, Jujutsu Kaisen is a phenomenal series with the loyal audience and rather bright development prospects. Though, efforts to address at these areas of inefficiency may possibly further enhance the capacity of the series. Thus, if Jujutsu Kaisen is even further going to go deep in terms of characters’ construction, emotions depicted, and the background, this anime and manga can become one of the best in the entire world.
