Summary Many fans love to debate what the best modern shonen series is, with more than a few picking the hit dark fantasy battle Jujutsu Kaisen. However, while there are merits to choosing Gege Akutami's work as the pinnacle of the genre, it would actually be diminutive to define Jujutsu Kaisen as a mere shonen, a word used to describe series targeted at a young male audience.
Related One Jujutsu Kaisen Episode Made Me Finally Understand All the Hype, & Now I'm a Lifelong Fan As a first-time watcher, I was curious to see what made Jujutus Kaisen truly stand out, and I found it all in one episode. In shonen anime, "surpassing limits" and "overcoming adversity" are frequent features, but in Jujutsu Kaisen, growth is shown to be connected both with willpower and accident. Yuji never intended to be a sorcerer, but he must learn to overcome himself, building a "strength" befitting his circumstances and commitment to sorcery.
The reason Geto comes to hate non-sorcerers is that his sheer empathy for them created a deep bond with Riko. Geto sees money as a superficial reason for one non-sorcerer to kill another, and he begins to question why sorcerers uphold their duty. This doubt compounds as he learns that non-sorcerers are the main reason for cursed energy and witnesses sorcerers being tortured by non-sorcerers.
Mai becomes fueled by resentment, trying her hardest yet failing to keep up with Maki. As Mai stews within the Zen'in clan, Maki separates from the cultural and ideological system controlling her life and dictating her value. She then grows stronger than ever as a non-sorcerer whose strength blurs the lines of the sorcerer/non-sorcerer distinction.
To show why Jujutsu Kaisen is so special, I'll connect it with my interest in disability philosophy. Disabled people are well aware of what it means to have one's agency taken away because of social perceptions, limitations, and labels. In Jujutsu Kaisen, I found a question resembling one that helped me significantly.
