Everyone said Jujutsu Kaisen is hype, intelligent, funny, gripping, blah blah, Shibuya is peak fiction whatever. So I caught up in a week at my friend's insistence and his favorite moment was picrel. What the fuck? > Ebil guy #1: "hi ebil guy #2 I don't know you at all and we threw fireballs at each other" > "You're strong" > Ebil guy #2 (who has zero characterization except "me grumpy") cries > Exit
The entire fanbase is underage right? That's the only possibly explanation. I've seen some weird zoomer clothing edits on JJK and Chainsawman characters so that must be true right?
Only the Sukuna scenes are good, other than that it’s boring shit
Jayden Cooper
Why are the Sukuna scenes good though? Are you gay and want to be dominated in bed or something? What's so good about Sukuna's scenes
Liam Roberts
Seems that way. We're getting old.
Kayden Fisher
Yeah, it’s just another very mediocre battle shonen that gets way too much hype because that’s the only genre a large portion of people read/watch and they have to latch onto something.
Joshua Reed
I'm literally 21 though
Xavier Smith
Hope this doesn't count as off topic but I unironically saw multiple girls on hinge with a Sukuna face filter. How young, retarded and impressionable do you have to be lol. Would rather date someone with an American flag tattoo on their forehead
Dylan Jenkins

Colton Garcia
Jujutsu Kaisen thread.
Camden Jackson
I don't really follow this manga but what sort of reasoning is this? A character cries so it's bad? You hate it because your friend likes this scene?
Camden Jones
It's fun, sorry you don't know what that is anymore user
Christian Thomas
No, a character devoid of characterization cries so I felt nothing, and I felt nothing despite my friend loving this scene
William Torres
I have fun reading literature and good manga, seems jjk isn't either of those
William Adams
Yes, anime has become a mainstream fashion aesthetic. I’ve seen tons people, both young and somewhat older (maybe mid-30s) wearing shirts with anime shit on them out in public, all stuff like DBZ, HxH, KnY, JJK, YYH. The comics/hobby shop at my local mall moved all of their anime merch to the very front of the store and tripled the size of their manga section. It’s going to keep happening.
Joseph Morgan
Not saying the series is good, but how is jogo devoid of characterization?
Xavier Flores
You've never read literature where a character exhibiting sadness isn't meant to be some hollywood-esque epiphany scene?
Aaron Moore
I just remember him getting mad and complaining about stuff. He barely has any character traits or does anything or makes decisions or is an active cast member or has agency.
Blake Myers
The fanbase are fujos and faggots
James Stewart
I don't know how you could come to that conclusion from me thinking that the sukuna-jogo scene is lame
Isaiah Bennett
Is this good or bad
Carson Carter
>He barely has any character traits or does anything or makes decisions or is an active cast member or has agency.
I'm not saying he's a deep character or anything, but he did make decision. He decided to bring Sukuna out at that moment, he's an arrogant curse spirit that loves tormenting humans, but also cared about his fellow curses enough to take revenge. He had a dream that he was willing to sacrifice his own life for. And I think for an antagonist of that level it was handled well. Now the rest of the series not so much.
Adam Cruz
>Everyone said Jujutsu Kaisen is hype, And you're retarded for thinking hype is a good thing. That's on you. Next you're gonna tell me you also only watch things with kino or soul
Xavier Anderson
edge is cool, sorry but you're fucking lame if you think everything needs to have some positive spin, or be appropriate for children. some things can be edgy, and it makes them better.
Owen Cook
That's why I don't read battle shounen anymore.
Sebastian Brooks
Edgy is like a color. It's like saying my pillow is blue. Gege is bad at writing, and if there's a turd on my pillow it doesn't matter what color the pillow is.
Thomas Cruz
> He decided to bring Sukuna out Okay, so he made 1 decision in the entire series, which is to fight some guy > he's an arrogant curse spirit that loves tormenting humans, but also cared about his fellow curses enough to take revenge. So he's arrogant and doesn't like it when his nakama are killed... Sounds like a fairy tail filler character. Not even baiting > He had a dream that he was willing to sacrifice his own life for Which was what again? > And I think for an antagonist of that level it was handled well I just don't see it. But whatever dude it's all good, glad we agree the rest of the manga is subpar
Brody Reyes
Huh? What's wrong with something being exciting?
Lincoln Roberts
Why isn't it enough to just not like something and move on? Why do you need to make a hobby out of hating things and hating people who like things? Do you honestly feel like this is a healthy mindset? Do you think this behaviour is better than if you had just let it go and moved on to something that made you happy instead? What do you derive from this? Is it a sex thing? Are you a sadist and you get off by belittling people?
Ethan Powell
I mean I don't really like it either but its popular for a reason. some people like it and some people don't thats ok. you don't have to force yourself to like something.
Colton Richardson
>Okay, so he made 1 decision in the entire series, which is to fight some guy No he didn't want to fight Sukuna. Him fighting someone like Gojo was his decision. He just wanted to revive Sukuna and have him make a deal with Yuji. >So he's arrogant and doesn't like it when his nakama are killed... Sounds like a fairy tail filler character. Not even baiting Ok and what exactly is your point? >Which was what again? He explained it like 3 times user. He wanted 'true humans' to replace humankind on earth.
Chase Cruz
Jogo's motivation is explained in the very scene that you posted in the OP. If you actually read that and didn't understand it, you might suffer from some sort of mental disability.
Aaron Harris
jjk is shit and so are you for making this thread
Ian Reed
Agreed this moment was lame. I actually don't remember a single moment with emotion in JJK, whole series fits soulless to a tee.
Caleb Davis
>edge is cool you need to be at least 18 to post here
Eli Peterson
It was so boring I forgot Okay... So he had a goal. Doesn't make him an interesting character > Ok and what exactly is your point He is shallow and boring > He wanted 'true humans' to replace humankind on earth. Ok... He is still boring and shallow
Caleb Jackson
> I actually don't remember a single moment with emotion in JJK, Emotion is predicated on soul Soul is predicated on character The characters of JJK have no soul Because Akutami is an autist that grew up as a bully victim like Isayama and neither are intelligent enough to conceptualize human behaviour abstractly (note how SnK's characters are also soulless and behave like autists) Ergo there is no emotion
Dylan Flores
How many times have I've seen threads dedicated to >jjk is hyped and I heard it was good bit after reading it everyone was wrong. And admittingly few ips But absolutely nothing for chainsawman. It makes me think everyone is being mind controlled because of the fact I never see threads like this for it.
Kevin Hill
Chainsaw is fun JJK is gay Simple as
Jordan Peterson
>Speedreads >Gets mad when he doesn't understand shit when he speedreads Like clockwork
Jacob Hernandez
New age criticism has become so bad. >le boring >le boring >uninteresting
It's starting to make me think you are a mha or bc nigger that posts that one meme jermey made because people liked jjk more then mha.
Or I could be completely wrong and you don't like any new manga
Jaxon Davis
>Okay... So he had a goal. Doesn't make him an interesting character Whether he's interesting character is up to the individual, but you claimed that he was devoid of characterization. He had things going for him which you simply didn't enjoy. >He is shallow and boring Again. I don't think he's deep, but it isn't shallow for his character role. >But absolutely nothing for chainsawman. It makes me think everyone is being mind controlled because of the fact I never see threads like this for it. There were plenty of threads like that though?
Nicholas Myers
Jeremy or BCfags What are you talking about? CSM has bait threads everyday. Just check archive.
Grayson Murphy
I just forgot because it was boring What's boring is boring mate > claimed that he was devoid of characterization He still is though > but it isn't shallow for his character role. The role itself is shallow. It's like saying "sure he's a shit character but it's perfect for his role (being a shit character)"
Kevin Wood
Why is black clover consistently on your minds? Tf my niggas
Jaxson Jackson
Jjk explores really interesting themes. If you don't see it at all you are either a speedreader or a brainlet. Although i think you are both. Im 26 btw.
Robert Long
>Claims it's boring >Still read the whole thing Kek
Nathaniel Carter
What did you expect from naruto for zoomers?
Jaxson Carter
I'm sorry to say that you are a midwit. Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't explore any themes. Instead it has puppets spouting off cool sounding (to midwits) lines. Feel free to try to list some themed and how they are explored though, failure can be a learning experience.
Mason Rogers
>He still is though Can you explain how? >The role itself is shallow. In the grand scheme of things yes it is, but his character isn't.
Brody Russell
I didn't want to disrespect my friend. But yeah it wasn't worth it at all, fml Naruto is 100x better
Colton Cruz
>Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't explore any themes Almost every series explores theme. Whether they do it well or not is a different thing.
Aiden Turner
> Can you explain how? Nothing he does establishes him as a character. His relationships are non-existent besides generic nakama bonds. He does not have unique relationships with different characters. He simply exists to fight some other characters > In the grand scheme of things yes it is, but his character isn't His character is a perfect fit for a shallow role, aka his character is shallow
Charles Watson
The connotation I apply to "explore" implies that it actually delves sufficiently into the themes to deserve the verb "explore" as opposed to "name-drop" etc
Michael Anderson
Feel free to list some themes.
William Thomas
Alright what's boring is boring, I get that. But if that's all you can really offer and say back to people asking about what you said. Then people gain nothing from responding to you
Benjamin Cox
He's right you retard, doesn't mean JJK executes it well.
Sebastian Cooper
What do you want to hear from me bro. There's not much to talk about. I've already started earlier why I find the manga to be bad
Matthew Fisher
hype doesnt mean exciting, exciting means exciting. Kayne sold some hype white Ts for 100s. there was nothing exciting about a plain white T
Based post, too bad blind fanboys and haters alike need to constantly prove themselves and others that their opinions are superior
Colton Harris
You have to be a girl/faggot to like this and Tokyo Revenger. No straight man care about these two.
Jose Baker
the problem is you then speedreader. he greatly values curses, and sukuna stands at the top. to be complimented by the pinnacle of what you aspire to be would humble any man.
Carter Barnes
What do you mean with "dealve sufficiently"? Probably some arbitrary bs standar that you come up with. But in OPs image you have a moment that "dealves into its themes" while chatactarizing Sukuna. So you are a speedreaders or brainlet.
Andrew Mitchell
> he greatly values curses, That's just generic nakama shit and it was just stated he doesn't really demonstrate this in a believable way > sukuna stands at the top We are just told this and are supposed to believe it > to be complimented by the pinnacle of what you aspire to be would humble any man So what you're saying is that the moment in OP's pic could apply to hundreds of other characters and not just Jogo and isn't unique to his character. That sounds pretty shallow
Nathaniel Martinez
You type like a retard. Don't call other people midwits, retard. What themes does the OP image delve into lmao
Luke Harris
The other day I saw in a thread people talking about how JJK is supposedly the best shonen when it comes to fights and action in general? But most fights are just decided by one hit KO's or an opponent doing hard-hitting melee attacks to overpower his enemy. So what's up with that? The countless exposition dumps mid-fight doesn't make it any better
