10 Things To Know About Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen is the current popular manga by Gege Akutami in Shonen Jump magazine and has an anime adaptation. This is a Shonen work that blends the dark colors of the economic genre to create a great attraction.

The cast of pure villains according to evil

In Jujutsu Kaisen, curses will confront an evil force called the curse. Most of these curses will be purely pure evil and extremely brutal. There is no room for concessions there.

Sometimes there will also be villains like in Naruto or Hunter x Hunter creating a certain empathy because their grim past has caused them to fall into the dark. But such things did not exist in Jujutsu Kaisen, when many curses to kill civilians were simply for pleasure.

Short time-skip

Time-skip is a specialty often found in works of the Shonen genre. It’s about time that the characters train to get stronger for a few years. Jujutsu Kaisen follows a somewhat different approach when instead of a long period of time, the work applies short-term time-skips in weeks or months.

These time-skips act as a marker of the transition from one major event to another in the main storyline.

Fights are almost constant

It can be said that Jujutsu Kaisen fans are always treated to beautiful action (especially when watching the anime) with the density of continuous appearances. This battle just finished, it didn’t take long for another match to appear.

Currently, with more than 120 chapters, the fight scenes between the characters take up 80 percent of the time in the main storyline. This is a point that is rarely seen in many other works of the same genre at the present time.

The likelihood will be very strong based on the given situation

The fact that the character will always be extremely creative with the ability he possesses and knows how to use it optimally in each specific situation is not too strange in Shonen. In Jujustsu Kaisen even more special, when even the ability is not appreciated, it can be terrifyingly powerful if you know how to take advantage of the situation. For example, Nobara Kugisaki’s Doll Magic is sometimes just as dangerous as Fushigoro’s Shikigami.

Not all characters can be saved

As for the Shonen genre, especially in old generation works, the protagonist always has a belief that if he tries his best, he will save everyone from danger. Even though others say it’s impossible, the main characters are still able to help others.

But for Jujutsu Kaisen, “we don’t do that here”. Itadori himself realizes that he is not so divine that he can save everyone. So Itadori only thinks about himself and those around him can be let go as naturally as his late grandfather.

In Shonen, there is often the concept of arc, that is, small parts are used by the author to serve the development of the main storyline. And this is repeated at a moderate speed so that fans can somewhat predict what will happen next. But Jujutsu Kaisen goes in a different direction.

Still divided by arc, but the distance between them is quite short. For example, the distance between the 1st year arc doing quests and the tournament arc of the Tokyo and Kyoto branch schools is very close. Although the storyline goes quite quickly, but with cleverly arranged content and lines, it does not make it difficult for fans to follow Jujutsu Kaisen.

Complex strength system

At an early stage, the power system in Jujutsu Kaisen looked like it would be built up like the element of magic commonly seen in other works, without being constrained by many rules. However, as Itadori’s story gradually deepens into this world, readers see more and more diversity, but with it, the complexity of the power system such as Mantra, Mantra Magic.

The hegemony Gojo Satoru is an example. Gojo’s power every time it is explained in a uniform and extremely sophisticated sequence.

Each character is a bit crazy

The curses in Jujutsu Kaisen are responsible for preventing the curses from harming humans, even with their lives to complete the mission. Jujutsu Tokyo High School Principal Masamichi Yaga once said to Itadori when he gave him the entrance test, “You need a bit of madness and great motivation to be a curse. “. In fact, the curses all have extremely special traits that no one completely resembles anyone else.

Death is always present

With the element of violence, Jujutsu Kaisen also had quite a few deaths, showing the tension that stretches through the main storyline. Except for the beginning, two friends of Itadori luckily died from the hands of a cursed spirit, then it is a different story. For Jujutsu Kaisen, even an important character is in danger of flying, as when Itadori experienced temporary death. To put it simply, it is an image of an ordinary human being randomly and brutally murdered by curses.

Dark colors

As a Shonen work with a mixture of horror elements, Jujutsu Kaisen will have a rather dark and violent color. Gore details such as humans or curses that are stabbed and cut into chunks appear throughout the episodes.

A recent example that can be pointed out is when Geto meets Jogo with Hanami in a cafe. After a while, Jogo burned alive all the unfortunate victims sitting in it. Or Itadori’s image of Sukuna removing the heart also left a special impression.

With these fascinating details, we believe this is a great anime, you can also learn more about the jujutsu kaisen most powerful forces here.
