Why is using shock to disguise bad writing becoming so common in battle shonen?

>How do I make the reader care about my characters?
>Kill them.
>How do I make the reader care about my power systems?
>Use them to kill a character.
>How do I make the reader care about my plots?
>Use deaths as plot twists.

It's such a lazy gimmick. Only 13 year olds who believe death/tragedy = depth/quality buy this shit.

>Only 13 year olds who believe death/tragedy = depth/quality buy this shit.
Do you understand anything about the shonen demographic? If it works for him and it sells, what are you bitching about?

Because that's what fans of battle shonen like which is why KnY and JJK are popular.

>Shounen is for 13 year olds
Congratulations, did you work that out all on your own?

Are you describing Jujutsu Kaisen or Gachiakuta?

It's always been the case, even 1940's Tezuka shonen did this.

what's good writing to you?
everybody makes out and romcom beach episode starts after every fight?

>giving a shit about characters of worlbuilding in fujokaisen

I feel like only after Shibuya did JJK become maybe too free-spirited with deaths. I feel Shibuya was a climax of sorts, killing people and dealing Gojo were supposed to be really important, I think there was enough build up. On the other hand, killing all the Zen-in, Mai, maybe Panda’s cores, Yaga. I feel like those didn’t really make me feel anything.

>everybody makes out
name 5 shonen

Because killing a character is a very effective plot device and a plot device and an easy way to give your story weight and stakes.


The opposite(eg: my hero academia) is much worse.

>were supposed to be really important
no one important died in shibuya

>literally who dying = stakes
lmao

Kill yourself.

Moeshitters, everyone.

That isn't new, series like JoJo have been doing that for 30+ years by now.
And judging by the success of Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen, that's what the readers want. But ou can always read series where nobody dies ever like MHA and BC if you don't like character deaths.

And if no one died, it'd be worse. It's a simple concept but you appear to be the average shonen reader.

so midnighter's death is good writing?

no because just like neji's death, literally nobody cared about her dying or mourned for her, and her death had no impact at all in the story

>this is good writing according to jjkfags

...

that's not a death, he's literally asking about her condition because he was there when Nitta saved her, so the only question is if she woke up or not which Fushiguro's silence already answers

It sounds you're describing CSM

csm never tried to make it look like any of those deaths were anything moe than fodder besides a couple of actual important characters
