Jujutsu Kaisen creator doesn\u2019t like a major character, but still refuses to change them CrunchyrollA comment by the author of Jujutsu Kaisen reveals he doesn\u2019t like one off the heroes, but still refuses to change them. Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami has caused another stir because of one of his past comments. Thanks to an eagle-eyed fan, an old comment by Akutami has come to light where the author revealed his feelings about a certain major character: the protagonist Yuji Itadori himself. In Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 8, Gege Akutami claimed that he didn\u2019t like Yuji but didn\u2019t change his personality even after his editor recommended it. The mangaka said, \u201cI am not particularly fond of Itadori, but his lowbrow quality is one thing that he and I share, so I said \u2018Yeah, yeah, sure. We\u2019ll change it\u2026\u2019 but ignored their recommendation.\u201d This comment has created quite the buzz in the fandom. Akutami is known for being very vocal about his dislikes for some of his own characters and how cruel he can be to the Jujutsu Kaisen cast in general. He\u2019s frequently expressed his dislike for his popular character Gojo, and now Yuji himself isn\u2019t safe from the glare of the Jujutsu Kaisen author. In lieu of the resurfacing of this comment, fans point out that this must be why Yuji suffers so much in Jujutsu Kaisen. From the beginning, he\u2019s gone through a lot of hardships due to him being the vessel of Sukuna. Fans say now it seems like Sukuna isn\u2019t the main obstacle in Yuji\u2019s path, it\u2019s Akutami. Some fans have also expressed their surprise over Akutami\u2019s candid revelation about dislike Yuji despite him being the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen. One such fan wrote, \u201cMaybe I haven\u2019t discovered enough media but I ain\u2019t never seen a creator who \u2018wasn\u2019t fond of\u2019 the main character that they created.\u201d It\u2019s also a surprise to many that Akutami didn\u2019t change Yuji despite not liking him. However, the author already answered this question in his statement. It seems like the author of Jujutsu Kaisen and Yuji both are pretty \u201clowbrow\u201d and the mangaka feels a sense of kinship with the character which is why Yuji still remains the simplistic protagonist that everyone knows and loves. But no matter how much Akutami claims to dislike Yuji, he\u2019s still one of the most well-crafted characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. And judging by Chapter 256, he finally gets his opportunity to shine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
