Sounds like it has the opposite problem Bleach did. For the majority of it's run, Kubo just *would not* kill any of the good guys, even when if killing them off would have been better for the story; Byakuya in TYBW being the quintessential example.

My biggest issue with JJk in all honesty is just that it kills too many characters too often without exploring their full potential. Nobara, Nanami, ect. So many characters that have a lot of potential but are just killed off seemingly on a whim. I don't even mind the occasional character death here and there, heck i'm a jojo fan but I feel like characters like Nobara should have at least been killed closer to the end of the story rather then mid way through.

@@Merilirem I would have at least liked to have seen her get a W by herself and have something like a Domain or Maximum technique. Something to prove she was worthy of being a grade 1 sorcerer. Megumi had one why not her? She's the tritagonist she should be just as important as Megumi. The only reason Itadori doesn't have one is because he doesn't have a technique to work with for his domain at this point in the story. If Nobara at least had that then I probably wouldn't be as dissapointed about her death since at least some of her potential as a sorcerer would have been explored. But all she ever gets is Resonance, hair pin and a single Black flash she never pulls off again. She doesn't even have so much as a simple domain which just makes her feel like fodder against any character who does have a domain.

I think the main reason Gojo was handled so poorly is because Gege is open and loud about just how much he despises Gojo. I'm baffled at an author hating their own oc this much, but it explains why after realizing he made Gojo win, that Gege would be like "lmao no look how amazing sukuna is!"

[@notherapy4u]

I'm pretty sure that's vecause, and I cannot stress this enough, Gege did not want to make JJK, or at least, in its current form. The original plot was about creating sorcerers capable of stopping Yuta and Rika from killing, the two of which would have been recruited by Maki. Instead, Gege's editor(first one, not his current one), insisted that the story was too dark, and suggested the inclusion of Jujutsu Hugh, to make it more akin to typical "high schoolers use magic and fight monsters" series, and Gege still insists to this day that it should have been the original concept. Gege is throwing caution to the wind because not only does he not care about the characters, he legitimately does not like the story he is telling.

[@kurodo9926]

The worst part has gotta be how he buried any possible legacy jjk could've had the moment he did that to Gojo.

Im going to be honest, its always been mid. Gege has clearly forgotten most of the plot threads as well as the potential setups for plot threads long ago. The motivations and ideals he gives his characters are flimsy at best, he often writes important details about the plot into characters MANY MANY chapters after their introduction, and often doesnt elaborate on them for the audience. He often forgets certain characters exist, and often shafts them. He doesnt write characters well enough for us to even know them, and rarely ever shows nuance in their personalities. Plot is paced like shit and the story is 75% fight scenes, most of which with characters no one cares about. The convoluted and poorly explained power system. And of course the constant, unnecessary, and unsatisfying killing of important characters, most notably nobara whom gege shafted for the entirety of shibuya only for her to show up, give a mediocre show, and get one tapped. I just... i like this show i promise i do but i really really have problems with it. way too many. its just so bad.

Reducing a battle those three steps and saying it aint hard is kinda uncool imo, if it were that easy to make a good fight then every battle manga would be amazing, i do see your point on knowing who's gonna win though, even so its not really Sukuna v 1 person, its Sukuna vs a whole damn group, look at it like a whole we got so many capable fighters, Maki, Todo, Yuta, and like, you know, the main fkn character.

I think things like Black Flash kind of contribute to the annoyance that some feel towards the recent events in jjk. Unlike cursed techniques or abilities that have been, or at least can be explained, black flash has always felt like sort of a gimmick. It's just something that doesn't have any hard rules to it like almost everything else in the series does so it ends up feeling more like a plot device to produce whatever outcome Gege wants rather than an explainable or sensible occurence. Black Flash is starting to feel like the JJK equivalent of "the power of friendship" or whatever other plot induced power-up characters get in series with less flexible power systems and/or worse writing. It feels a bit out of its element in a series like JJK.

[@confusedbakugo1373]

Just to add to that, I first thought Black Flash would be a really hard move to pull off, like only the most dedicated sorcerers could master it. That way it would kinda be like Yujis Rasengan (something to master as a special trump card). The writer then said that it's actually impossible to control when a Black Flash activates, nobody can do it on purpose. Despite this, the show then proceeds to have Yuji do it like 5 times in a row and it ends up feeling cheap, like it only worked for him cause he's the protagonist and not because he earned it through diligent perfection.

[@lucasmatheusoliveiradealbu9033]

This is actually my biggest gripe with the show. Black Flash is dumb. I kind of love the idea of an in-universe critical hit, because even if a character is losing you could hold out hopes (or fear) that maybe they'll get lucky and turn the tide of battle, except this is not that. It just feels like if you try reaaaaally hard, you'll get a Black Flash because you're just that special. Yuji either pulled out his Game Genie and gave himself an 80% critical rate offscreen or he can actually execute Black Flashes at will. And you know what's worse? A Black Flash is just a big punch/kick, it isn't exciting on its own, the idea that it could just happen at any moment is what made it interesting and they fucking took it away.

[@montserratmarroquin400]

It’s even worse when they establishes it as such a rare and difficult thing to do and then Yuji being the mc does 5 in a row agains that fight with Hakari? I think Nanami set the record for 4, and he has had to do massive training over the years, but Yuji did it with pretty much no training and purely luck, I know that’s what it is but it just didn’t feel earned.

Like I think killing Gojo was the natural path for the story but the way it was done was so forced and poorly thought, I like the idea that Gojo wins as long as his students become stronger and all that, but it's funny because both times the students had to man up and grow were because Gojo got out of the picture. When he gets unsealed that was the perfect moment to show Gojo actually helping his students grow up, training with them teaching important lessons and opening more to them, so this time when he died, they would be prepared and could best Sukuna partly because of Gojo's influence, closing his character arc and showing he's more than just "the strongest" guy. But nah at the end Gege just used Gojo as a plot device, he came back just to die. What a waste of potential.

Like he didn’t even have to die, he could have just been incapacitated and even if Gege really wanted to kill him? Why was it treated as a off screen extra character death?

Gojo, on the other hand, was the only one who was on a level similar to Sukuna, was built up along the whole series, had an amazing fight, had basically won, the narrator themselves said Gojo won, and then he just dies offscreen because of a BS powerup that no diffs literally everyone...

i feel like the main reason why jjk dropped in quality is because gege doesn't really care about it anymore and wants to get it over with by just killing off the characters

[@jj6184]

I would say my problem with JJK is that it changed from a character focused story to a plot focus story, in which the main goal was to get the plot moving along without giving the characters time to breath. I don’t think the story is bad but the pacing gets in my nerves sometimes especially with 208, 215(when the bath which was hyped up for a while was completed in a couple panels), and 222(one month time skip) 222especially grinds my gears because everything before would of been fine because the characters would finally have creating room for interactions but it was just skipped. Tbh I liked the writing in 236 and thought it was set up well when binging the fight. though I think it was a bit abrupt but it made sense so I didn’t really have a problem with it. The main problem is that we are in the last stretch of the series without much build up that could of been explored and perfected if we got to actually see the one month time skip

[@no3ironman11100]

236 fully made sense, altough I get the frustration at the characters past shibuya not getting much room to breathe and settle. Only yuji got that room with the hakari fight, and then got more development with gege setting up the whole higuruma thing, and many more. To someone dumb it could see like yuji is weak and the ennemy is too strong and 236 made no sense but on a higher perspective it's the opposite in many aspects which can be somewhat of an issue. Yuji got a ton of evolution and proving his resolve and character and coming to terms with himself and reinforcing his motivations, and now he's reaching his final developments. Meanwhile People like maki's personality have become "Haha bloodthirsty" and all existing just to set up the character moment yuji will have with the final fight. I still like that a lot, but I want to see more of everyone else, I wish jjk was 20-30 more chapters long each furthering each character's backstory more, it'd be a massive leap in quality for a chapter extra here and there of flashbacks, a couple chapter showing a mission for maki or something, Yuta's arrival and training in africa etc.

[@jj6184]

@@no3ironman11100 honestly I don’t really have a problem with the calling games though I think it should of been used as an introduction arc for all the new characters while the 1 month time skip should of allowed for the meat and potatoes of development, character interactions, and paying off some of the mysteries in the series. Honestly I would not even care about the other mess up chapters if we just got that one month interval of the characters interacting and developing.

[@LaylaMiki]

Gojo’s death was predictable. The real problem is that his death was meaningless. It didn’t serve anything apart from saying to the readers that Sukuna is a poor baby who doesn’t know what love is and stating that Gojo was not as strong as we thought. All of this has just shown how miserable Gojo’s life was. The guy was not able to protect the girl he was asked to, he could save his best friend and ended up killing him, he couldn’t protect his students or live up to their expectations, he was not even able to save the one student he has the strongest bond with (Megumi I mean) and at the end of his life, he was told (by Nanami) he was an insensitive and egotistical jerk and that everyone knew about that. With all the strength and power he was born with, the guy never managed to do anything useful in his life when he really needed to. Gege really did his best to make his life as pathetic as possible.

It got to the point the main reason people read it became the reason they dropped it, like 90% of the fandom will read a fight and not even understand what the hell is happening while the remaining 10% will use all their brainpowerto try and understand how the power system works so that they can make videos explaining it to the rest, i can't even begin to understand how could you defend this

[@jonathannicolai2503]

But the difference between the two is that it was well executed for Gojo. Plus it was about defeating a vilain, good vilain true, but a vilain that was introduced for a single arc and wasn't even if all of the chapters of that arc. So Gojo's comeback because he's a genius > Toji's agenda. But for Sukuna vs Gojo both had an equal screentime, equal chances so any small unfair avantages would be magnified. Yet Gege didn't realize that doing to Gojo what he did to Toji and and what Sukuna did to Jogo wasn't the same. Although not showing him dying was a bit anitclimatic, it worked because Sukuna being a genius > Jogo's agenda. I bet you that if Jogo was still alive and was a character that still appeared then if in 200+ chapter he happened to be killed the same he way he did then the people would have been as disgusted than with Yuki with "after all that, the final disaster curse was offscreened".

[@PickleNick7008]

i think the second Gege started coming up with bs reasons for Sukuna to win every fight is when jjk kind of died. Like the fight with Gojo was pretty understandable, but Sukuna wasn't even in his Heian Era form yet so he was significantly less powerful, yet tanked a 200% purple, and so many other moves from Gojo that should have SEVERELY if not out right killed him in that form. Not to mention the plot holes and plots that have been left completely behind, like the Merger plot, the whole reason Sukuna is even fighting the sorcerers, and Hakari being almost as powerful as Gojo. Also, remember when Maki stabbed Sukuna straight through the HEART and bro had to use cursed energy to keep it beating? what happened to that? It said he was unable to use rct to heal it due his fight with Gojo, so it would have to heal "naturally" which i find extremely hard to believe that he healed a split heart that fast. hopefully Gege taking 21 days off can rebreathe life into the series.

Dragon Ball was fine since it was only around 100 eps, but Z had way too much padding and filler to be really good (and also hard fell off at the Buu saga.) GT was also pretty garbage. Naruto isn't any better, with the amount of filler that shit has + a boring world in general. Out of all three, One Piece would probably be the highest ranked. However, it doesn't mean that it's that good. It's arcs follow the same repetitive structures, and the fact that each episode has a 5 minute recap just shows how desperate they are for padding. The most I can give to it is that it's filler rate isn't as high as the other two ig lol. JJK at least tries something new. Naruto and One Piece literally never kills off anyone (why the FUCK is Wapol still alive.) (also yes they do kill off but very rarely), and Dragon Ball literally just cheats death every time by using the Dragon Balls. When JJK says someone is the STRONGEST, they actually are the STRONGEST. It's also been ongoing for 261 chapters, and it's already better than the three you mentioned. I would pick it over Naruto and One Piece any day, and if not for Budokai Tenkachi 3, I would pick it over Dragon Ball too.

Killing the most popular character is a bad deal😭 i truly dont know what went through Geges head to make a decision like that

[@montserratmarroquin400]

Gege dislikes Gojo sooo bad that it’s become a meme Idk if killing Gojo was good or bad, since 1) Gojo is the most popular in the series, I bet that 50% of the fandom just watches because of Gojo, besides he’s the Strongest 2) He’s the strongest, which means keeping him around would mean HUGE plot armor, since he could just show up and the curse would say "SaToRu GoJo" and run

The kashimo part really made me mad i feel like it would have been better if he died and his work on sukuna really effected him but they just hyped him up but he got destroyed

[@Yosankun]

I'm a huge kashimo fan and he's one of my favourite characters in jjk and I think that he did his job as a character completing his goal which was fighting sukuna dying in the process showing us how strong and terrifying sukuna is. He completed his role narratively but I can't deny how disappointed I am with his death dying in 2 chapters with a very unsatisfying performance against sukuna (not in power scale wise but the length of the fight)

[@Harukinesis]

True

[@Yosankun]

@@Harukinesis Bro I wrote a whole essay

[@cheemsburger3184]

Kashimo has no purpose

[@Lineproof]

@@Yosankun I think the anime will lengthen unsatisfying fights. Or at least I hope so.
