Jujutsu Kaisen
What’s good weebs? Been a minute since my last post. Or has it? I don't really know; a week been feeling like month to me these days. I hope y'all have had a great whatever time period it has been. So, I finally finished watching Jujustu Kaisen after God knows how many months now. It's amazing how many months it took me to watch a 24-episode anime, makes me wonder how long it will take me to watch One Piece. Anyways, I finished it and now I will proceed to talk about it with you guys. Before I continue, you people should know that some of us anime watchers (me in particular) do not read any form of manga or light novels. At all. Like ever. Everything is based solely off the anime shows. With that being said, let’s get right into it. IKUZOR.
Today, I talk about one of the most popular anime right now-Jujutsu Kaisen-and I'm pretty sure, no very sure most of y'all have seen it. If you haven't, you should. Unless you are into romantic/slice of life type anime shows then this is not for you. But if you are into battle shonen themed anime and you've not seen Jujutsu Kaisen, you should.
Jujutsu Kaisen is about a high school student who finds himself as part of a secret society of sorcerers after he eats a finger of an entity which now resides in him. This show is amazing and I see why it had all that hype around it. The animation is really good, then again, I guess you can’t talk about anime these days and not talk about the animation. I like the way it starts off, straight to the point. Personally, those are the kind of shows I fu*k with. Then as the show goes on, things just make sense. I also feel like the comedy the show provided was really good for an action anime. I feel like every comedic approach was delivered nicely. At least for me. One of my favorite scenes was where they made the rasengan and bankai references. Really cool. And even though this is not a horror anime, I think they did a great job making it feel like one.
Next is one of my favorites, Fushiguro Megumi. This guy is arguably one of the strongest characters in the show, so strong that even the main villain of the show-Sukuna-acknowledges his potential. Fushiguro is also a first-year sorcerer at Jujutsu Tech. Fushiguro, despite his high and mighty, stoic Sasuke vibes personality is actually a kind person who puts his friends first and at any point will save his friends before himself. Fushiguro is by far my favorite deuteragonist, unlike those I have come across he doesn’t see his friends as rivals and clearly have no agenda in killing them (stupid Sasuke).
Yuji Itadori is the main protagonist of the JJK anime show. On first impressions, you won’t think much of him but as the show progresses, you come to see him to be one bad motherfu*ker. Initially I thought it was Sukuna's finger that gave him strength-which actually does-but that wasn't the case. Yuji is naturally strong and incredibly fast. He is one of the many anime MC's who value human life over everything else which makes one of a kind amongst his comrades. Yuji is a free-spirited teenager which actually makes him a very likable protagonist.
Like I said earlier, this show is pretty straight forward. It doesn't beg too many questions and personally make me enjoy every episode. For example, the friendship and chemistry of the three main characters just fall into place, and this also applies to every character that's introduced. It's like they all understand the assignment as soon as they are introduced.
Now moving in deeper-*SPOILER ALERT*-episodes 4 and 5 were confusing for me. I had to watch those episodes twice to fully understand and grasp the full concept. I thought that whole conspiracy to eliminate Yuji was stupid and the higher ups were just being myopic. Moving away from that, later in the show we are introduced to this other kid named Junpei. This kid was not a sorcerer but could be, this is because Junpei could see curses and did have some form of cursed energy in him. This guy could have been at Jujutsu Tech to learn and become a jujutsu sorcerer but he ended up joining the bad guys. This nigga has to be the dumbest and most ignorant guy in the show and by the time he realized his mistake, he was turned into a curse and fu*king died. Stupid boy.
Later into the show, we are introduced to the second years of Jujutsu Tech: Panda, Toge Inumaki (my favorite character) and Maki Zenin of the Zenin clan. Though Inumaki-senpai is my favorite character, I would like to talk about Maki. Maki and her twin sister Mai who is in another branch (more like) of Jujutsu Tech were born to the Zenin clan. This clan is made up of Jujustu sorcerers and Maki technically shouldn't be one. This is because she literally has no cursed energy and cannot even see curses without her glasses. In spite of all that, she makes up for it with her astonishing and outstanding physical strength. Personally, she is the strongest character in the show until prime Yuji is introduced. This girl is straight badass and I don't konw why she is slept on in the anime-verse, she is easily one of the strongest female characters I have come across.
Now I couldn't end without talking about the highlight of the show, Gojo Satoru. Gojo-Sensei is one of the teachers at Jujutsu Tech and a fan favorite. He is arguably, in my opinion one of the most overpowered characters in anime. This guy is strong and is never modest about it-I wouldn't too, if I were him. One might say he is an arrogant individual because he believes himself to be invincible and no one can beat him. He literally sees everyone as weaker than him. Gojo doesn't hide his intentions from you if he doesn't like you and that's one of the things that makes him an arrogant individual. On the other hand, he is very playful with his students and those he likes. You most definitely would not like to get on his bad side.
I tend to focus more on the individual characters than the show itself cos in my opinion the characters and their individuality make the show worthwhile. All in all, JJK is one anime that every weeb or anime stan should watch. I for one a looking forward to the second season of the show even though it's not confirmed been specified day, year or month it is dropping.
