Jujutsu Kaisen fans think the anime got one manga scene very wrong CrunchyrollMAPPA has done a pretty solid job adapting Jujutsu Kaisen for the screen so far. However, fans do have some issues, and one of them is an inconsistency from the manga that\u2019s split the fandom. Jujutsu Kaisen is firmly established as one of the best anime going right now. It\u2019s become so mainstream, Megan Thee Stallion cosplayed a Jujutsu Kaisen character right before the anime show swept the Crunchyroll anime awards. But all that adoration shouldn\u2019t come at the cost of highlighting problems, and Jujutsu Kaisen has a few. Certain scenes haven\u2019t had the polish fans expect, occasionally leading to newer versions on home media. But in other cases, the issues stem from MAPPA\u2019s adaptation misfiring on a beat from Gege Akutami\u2019s manga, and a particular moment reopened that can of worms recently. Jujutsu Kaisen anime broke canon from the manga A Jujutsu Kaisen fan points out that in the anime, Toji manages to block a move from Gojo using the Inverted Spear of Heaven, a special weapon that negates any cursed energy. It\u2019s a cool scene, but not what happens in the manga, where Toji just withstands Gojo\u2019s assault outright in order to defend his cursed spirit. The moment is definitely executed differently, but just how different is open to interpretation. \u201cThe visuals might actually account for this when the blade had to \u2018puncture\u2019 Gojo\u2019s barrier to stab him,\u201d says one commenter. \u201cThe knife cuts techniques like it does flesh but that wouldn\u2019t apply here.\u201d The debate turns to what we actually see. \u201cDoes the manga show he tanked it? It shows red being fired and then Toji against the wall. You don\u2019t see where he was hit,\u201d says another user. This wrinkle leads to others being mentioned, to demonstrate the anime is a different animal to the manga. \u201cThe final episode of the series has a news crew killed by one of the curses fake Geto unleashed, just before the camera guy dies he catches the curse on camera and people watching at home are shocked to see it, just before a curse bursts through their wall and kills them too,\u201d reads one comment. \u201cBut both the anime and manga established that a cursed spirit won\u2019t show up on a normal camera.\u201d Adaptations always lead to changes that don\u2019t work for everyone. What\u2019s important is capturing the spirit of the source material, and Jujutsu Kaisen achieves that for sure.
