Jujutsu Kaisen

Shibuya Arc tourists need to go away.

Still doesn’t make it more meaningful.

>her
Kill yourself.

>Nonstop fun
Lol
Lmao

maki will rape naoya to subvert expectations

The only person in the magazine Oda seems to respect is Togashi and Hori

And the double subversion will be that its all Naoya has ever wanted.

God I wish that were me

I caught up to JJK before the big battle royale whatever arc when the author was sick and taking a break but the weird ass Maki wank mini arc was so offputting I just never went back

We get that they’re technically fighting for points…but it’s kind of abstract.
We need to see the characters actually accomplish something besides getting abstract points and defeat opponents.
Origin of Obedience was a cool mini arc because all the fights were short, there was a clear goal, and we got a lore dump of half curse half humans.
Junpeis arc was cool because it was incredibly emotional.
Kyoto was fun because it was fast paced cool battle action.
The fights in Culling Games have been slow. Too much for too little. Hakari Vs Charles should have been one chapter. Maki and Kamo Vs Naoya and goofy goobers is dragging.
Yuta in Sendai took like an entire volume.
The faster the fights the better they usually are. Not every fight is a Yuji Vs Mahito

The pre-Shibuya arcs also have the added benefit of its all being part of Kenjaku's scheming. All the way back to the Cursed Womb arc, each one is Kenjaku moving pawns around to lead up to Shibuya. And its super obvious either during the arc, or shortly after it. So there were layers to the arcs being interesting and meaningful.

Characters were also connected to meaningful, emotional events that happened with the antagonists. Mahito was so great because Itadori seethed so deeply over him. Kenjaku is so far removed from basic emotion that it becomes hard to find a reason to root against him besides "he is the bad guy and wants to kill people". Villains and plots need emotion to have significance.

>Kenjaku is so far removed from basic emotion that it becomes hard to find a reason to root against him besides "he is the bad guy and wants to kill people".
True. When it comes to Kenjaku pre-Shibuya, I should have added, we still thought he was Geto at the time. So for those of us(which should be most of us) who read volume 0, we already had that emotion and connection to Geto. And there was a big mystery to why Geto had changed so much, and why he was working with curses, where his org was, etc. That was part of the big hook and charm to Kenjaku back then.

And then Hidden Inventory further expanded on Geto, and that development only added to the mystery and our connection to "Geto".
