Jujutsu Kaisen's main cast showing off powers and weapons in front of dark background

Summary All the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen have significance to the story and connect with viewers, but protagonist Yuji is arguably the most important and unique part of the series. The plot follows his growth into a sorcerer who can stand on his own, however, author Gege Akutami revealed that Yuji was not supposed to be the protagonist of his story and, unlike what most fans think, this wasn't supposed to be Yuta either.

This would have drastically changed the story as fans know it, placing Yuji into a side character role instead of that of the prominent protagonist.
