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?
Bentley White
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?
Owen Flores
Are you describing Jujutsu Kaisen or Gachiakuta?
David Allen
It's always been the case, even 1940's Tezuka shonen did this.
Sebastian Wilson
what's good writing to you? everybody makes out and romcom beach episode starts after every fight?

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.

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
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.
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
