Gege Akutami is notorious among Jujutsu Kaisen readers for his cruel treatment of his characters. In his story, the heroes suffer at every point, while the villains have the upper hand most of the time. The best example is the Shinjuku Showdown Arc where many major characters die by Sukuna\u2019s hands. So, nobody was surprised in the least when the author chose a villain to be his favorite character from Demon Slayer. At Jump Festa 2021, he revealed his fondness for Muzan Kibutsuji, the primary antagonist of Koyoharu Gotouge\u2019s shonen manga. Fans find it pretty in character with the mangaka\u2019s record. They also point out several similarities between Muzan and Sukuna, the main villain in Akutami\u2019s manga. Like Muzan, Sukuna is also a force to be reckoned with, and nobody stands a chance against him. Besides, both antagonists are portrayals of pure evil, with no sad backstory or philosophy justifying their actions. They\u2019re power-hungry, destructive, and the best of their kinds. While Muzan is the king of demons, Sukuna is known as the King of Curses. \u201cNot surprising. If he wrote Demon Slayer, Tanjiro would\u2019ve died when he saw Muzan with his family,\u201d commented one user on X\/Twitter, joined by another, \u201cCan anyone honestly say they did not expect this?\u201d A third wrote on Reddit, \u201cMakes sense to me. There\u2019s a lot of people out there who side with villains,\u201d with a fourth agreeing on X, \u201cNot surprised because Muzan and all his demons kill like almost all of the characters.\u201d However, Akutami\u2019s choice has some fans worried, too. Many are expressing their fear that Sukuna may turn out to be like Muzan at the end. And though the demon acts as a perfect antagonist in Demon Slayer, he\u2019s not the best-written character out there. \u201cI really hope he doesn\u2019t take anything from Muzan though. Sukuna is an immensely better character,\u201d commented one such fan, and another joined, \u201cMuzan\u2019s aura is good but personally, I felt his character isn\u2019t that well-written. And plus, he is the hateable kind of villain.\u201d Whether Sukuna and Muzan are the same type of characters is debatable. But Akutami\u2019s preference makes it clear that it\u2019s the villains who catch his eyes the most. Jujutsu Kaisen is on an extended hiatus right now, so you can entertain yourself with our guides on Yuta Okkotsu\u2019s Domain Expansion and Yuji Itadori\u2019s family. As for Demon Slayer, the anime\u2019s Season 4 finale is due on June 30.
