This article includes spoilers
for the “Jujutsu Kaisen” manga. Reader discretion is advised.
Despite starting out as the most anticipated battle of “ Jujutsu Kaisen ,”
general opinion on the fight against Sukuna is quickly going downhill and
suggests that the series may have lost what made it good in the first place. The climactic battle takes
quite a while with the sorcerers throwing everything they can at Sukuna.
However, one big problem has become apparent with each new chapter, and it may
ruin what could have been the best battle in "Jujutsu Kaisen."
Part of what
made Jujutsu Kaisen so popular and entertaining was its originality,
unpredictability, and well-choreographed combat. However, since Satoru
Gojo's defeat, the match against Sukuna has fallen into a predictable pattern
and become repetitive, losing most of its fun and initial charm.
As the memes
have detailed endlessly, the battle is trapped in an endless cycle that fans
are slowly starting to tire of. Every new opponent that enters the
fight against Sukuna follows the same cycle in which they make a confident
entrance; The chapter highlights his abilities, they inflict minor damage on
Sukuna (who defeats them without breaking a sweat), and a new character takes
his place at the end of a cliffhanger only to follow the same pattern in the next
chapter.
This cycle
of repetitive deaths has not only had an impact of fatigue on readers, but also
of disinterest. Unfortunately, Gege Akutami has resorted to the same resource
as fans, seeing a new character enter the battle, they are already more than
ready to see his eventual death. It was precisely for this reason that
when the most recent chapter (leaked, evidently) showed the death of Choso, the
reaction was not sadness, but rather "I expected it."
While fans
continue to debate this aspect, reactions to the new chapter were immediate:
- " I lost interest
in Jujutsu Kaisen for the same reason as Tokyo Revengers, everything
became repetitive and the only new things are character deaths ."
- « It pains me to say it
because I love manga, but I'm so lazy reading Jujutsu Kaisen for several
chapters. I feel like everything became very repetitive and emotionless.
Sukuna simply sweeps away the character on duty who comes in to fight and
that's it, nothing more .
- « The way the current
arc of Jujutsu Kaisen is developing has me rotten because of how long and
repetitive it is, and I can't wait for it to end once and for all .»
- " The saddest thing
about Jujutsu Kaisen is that you can't criticize it because all the fat
women in the world come to defend Gege Akutami ."
- « I don't think that
Gege doesn't know how to write, but I have found manga very repetitive
lately. I think Jujutsu Kaisen is good and entertaining, but it has enough
details that make me not rate it as highly as many .
- « To be honest, it's
boring me because it's too repetitive and it's adding random characters to
give them prominence. But if the so-called best jujutsu sorcerer couldn't,
it is difficult for any character that enters who is obviously inferior to
him to win .
- « Better put them all to
sleep. Keep it up Gege and you will take Shingeki no Kyojin's place as one
of the worst animenga endings ."
- « Gege Akutami hurry up
to finish your work, which is becoming more and more emasculating.
"You already killed almost the entire cast of characters ."
- « Isn't this damn
endless fighting garbage over yet? ».
- « Wow, the eternal fight
now adds another death. What an innovative Gege! ».
- « And at the end you
hear, “save us crying hero”, and Itadori makes a jump in time when
everyone was children and avoids everything that happened ».
- « Another one, Gege has
definitely already forgotten how to have good fights .»
- « For two years now
repeating the same formula in their mediocre fight, one leaves and another
enters, he dies and the next one dies .»
- « Not even Kimetsu no
Yaiba, even though it also applied the idea that everyone dies in the
final battle, dared to go on so long. In just over a year Gotouge-sensei
perfectly developed a similar final arc .
- " At this rate the
villain will eliminate himself when he has no more adversaries left ."
