Exactly. It makes sense to me. Gojo stans need to process their grief in a less annoying way tbh

Count Contessai have an issue with the writing man. It really feels like character and narrative ultimately serve the lore and battle system and not the other way around.
The story is pretty interesting but the way things are going Gojo and Sukuna are just not incredibly compelling. It is hard to not compare to Togashis writing style and sure I can see someone having similar issues but f\*\*\* Togashi has interesting interpersonal relationships and interior dialogue. Gege just seems to just keep it surface level so he can play with his toys. I’m bummed out.
Sukuna has always been compelling. Zero reason to compare mangas
Sep 20, 2023·5 repliesNah, cause can we talk about the way Gege handled Nobara's death? I feel like it needs to be criticized more. Why the hell is he so purposely vague about it? Right after she died, why did he have Nitta cast doubt over her fate? Even now, why omit her from Gojo's afterlife reunion? (She clearly was someone dear to Gojo, and it would have finally given peace to fans who never felt that closure.) Personally, I do think she's 100% dead. But I do understand some of the fans' frustrations.

At best a mid way to handle a characters death at worst a terrible way to hold off a character to be brought back at the last minute

Exactly. Because, at this point, bringing her back would feel so forced. Too much time has passed, and it's like her in-universe existence has been forgotten. Not Gege's best moment as a writer.

I mean she got her brain and eye blown up. Not hard to write in she’s been in a critical condition this entire time and might not make it. It would be sad if at the end Yuji loses her like he loss his grand dad on a medical bed.

Because the inherent nature of a weekly publication forces any author and their ongoing works to turn into incoherent bullshit that rivals hollywood the longer they go on

This is moreso general criticism on the manga industry than on just jjk, but two thoughts:
1) this manga is aimed at teens, trying to overanalyze the writing is just gonna make you look goofy and you'll realize u need to go consume other media that actually lays heavy emphasis on character writing instead of epic battles.
2) Workculture in Japan kills creativity.Jujutsu Kaisen started really great but just turned into a dumpsterfire after Shibuya.
Not really any fault of Gege, whole industry needs a big overhaul.

Theres a reason he was saving his CT vs Sukuna
More gojo character assassination if this dude makes sukuna use more s\*\*\* than gojo tbh

Sukuna has always been compelling. Zero reason to compare mangas
The most compelling antagonists they had were Geto and Mahito and both were killed off way too soon. Kenjaku and Sukuna are both huge power sticks but idk what makes them interesting beyond that.

I was thinking Yuki and Nobara weren’t in Gojos afterlife because Gege just treats his female characters like s\*\*\* but then the plasma star girls popped up at the very last moment. Almost like gege was just like oh I forgot to throw some b\*\*\*\*es in here hold on here’s a panel

Just look character a***ysis of the two. Just sounds like you came in here to simply state negative opinions.

A story is a story, I’m glad you like the character but comparative a***ysis is a cornerstone of criticism. But it’s subjective what works for you, works for you. Reply what about his motivations are interesting to you all I got is he has a great design.

(Biweekly publication is not the solution either)Fair points for sure, especially the latter which I’ve thought about quite a bit. I do think some mangaka handle it ok but it does seem a Herculean effort. Tbf i can’t think of a shonen that has ended particularly well while I think shoujo has a better track record on endings but there’s more capital responsibility on shounen.
hayabusa 🌐Sep 21, 2023·1 replysukuna, geto, mahito are all pretty compelling antagonists because they were well established early on and work as perfect foils to the protagonists (geto/gojo & yuji /sukuna.) i like that every time yuji uses sukuna's powers it ends up doing more harm than good and hes always forced to use him in certain situations because of how powerful he is. one of the more interesting ways ive seen the mc gets inner power trope in shonens
kenjaku does absolutely nothing for me, the whole him being this overpowered long living sorcerer that takes over geto body just never sat right with me

Interesting. I think I am interested in the yuji/sukuna relationship and I like yuji as a a character but I attribute it to yuji more than sukuna. Sukuna outside of yuji is bleh for me. There’s a reveal that could change my mind
i guess unpopular opinion but I abhor mahito always too petulant a character for me. I think he is exactly what Gege wants but immature agents of chaos never been my thing. I think that’s a preference think more than anything. Geto is a good character. Don’t really hate kenjaku either I don’t mind sly manipulators.
