Jujutsu Kaisen: 10 most controversial moments ranked CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen is a dark Shonen series popular for several shocking and baffling scenes \u2013 so here\u2019s a list of the 10 most controversial moments. Jujutsu Kaisen is popular for its brutal storytelling, as the story gets darker with each arc. The manga is currently in its final stretch, and the anime\u2019s Season 2 has been making headlines every week as it airs the most intense arc ever. The series has come a long way since it began, and fans have also gradually lost their favorite characters. While it\u2019s true that the series has an intriguing plot line, Jujutsu Kaisen also features its fair share of controversial moments. Creator Gege Akutami is popular in the fandom for being cruel to his characters, as he doesn\u2019t even spare those he personally likes. Delve deeper to find out the 10 most controversial moments in Jujutsu Kaisen so far. Warning: major spoilers ahead! 10. Jujutsu Kaisen doesn\u2019t hesitate to kill young kids The story begins with Yuji Itadori being captured for a secret execution as Satoru Gojo recalls the events that led to the situation. The top brass are more than eager to execute a 15-year-old without even exploring better options. Gojo forces them to delay the execution. But once Gojo leaves Tokyo for a while, the first thing those higher-ups do is send the first years on a dangerous mission, knowing they have no chance of surviving. Killing Yuji is the priority, but they also put Megumi and Nobara in danger just to put pressure on Gojo. In the prequel movie also, they force the issue with Yuta\u2019s execution, who is also 15 years old. Gojo is more than capable of guiding Yuta to control curses and keep Rika at bay. But the higher-ups only want the kid\u2019s death. Considering that they\u2019re responsible for protecting others, their eagerness to kill innocent kids goes against everything they stand for. 9. Sukuna uses a fire arrow without revealing his technique Sukuna vs Jogo in the Shibuya Incident is one of the best moments in Jujutsu Kaisen, but what makes it controversial is the never-before-seen technique of the King of Curses. Fire ability is rare in the series, and Sukuna has always used techniques that include slashing and cutting his targets. However, his innate technique (although still unknown) turns out to be something that allows him to use more than one attribute. He chants something before saying, \u201cOpen,\u201d and he unlocks his fire abilities. Sukuna also says that he won\u2019t cheat by revealing his technique since that would increase his power. Therefore, his innate technique remains unknown to this day. Even though he has unleashed his true form in the manga, fans don\u2019t have a clue about his true power. 8. Choso\u2019s false memories still need an explanation Choso vs Yuji is one of the most popular moments in Jujutsu Kaisen. The Curse Womb: Death Painting doesn\u2019t waste a second before attacking Yuji in Shibuya. He wants to avenge his brothers Eso and Kechizu by killing Yuji. The fight is brief but intense. Choso easily overpowers Yuji while displaying the full extent of his Blood Manipulation Technique. However, just before Choso is about to kill him, a false memory plays in his head. The memory includes all his siblings having a fun outing, and Yuji is one of them. It takes a while for Choso to realize that the memory is false, but he still considers Yuji his brother since they\u2019re both related to Kenjaku. However, the series never explains why Choso has that memory and leaves it to our imagination. 7. Eso\u2019s manga design leaves little to the imagination Eso is a minor character in the series, and he\u2019s one of the Curse Womb: Death Paintings like his brother Choso. He and Kechizu fight Yuji and his classmates in the Death Painting arc. Like his brothers, his abilities also include Blood Manipulation. He also has a unique trait that helps him in battle: a grotesque face on his back. However, Eso\u2019s manga design is a bit too revealing for Shonen fans. He sports a band around his chest, which holds up suspenders connected to a thong and leggings. Eso claims that his attire is suitable for the face on his back; otherwise, it gets stuffy. Nonetheless, the manga design was not appropriate for the genre. Thankfully, the anime changed his original character design since the leggings and thong are one piece of clothing. 6. Ogi Zenin volunteers to kill his daughters Even the most vile beasts would hesitate before extending their claws toward their children. However, Ogi Zenin is one despicable character who not only supports the Zenin Clan\u2019s plan to murder Maki and Mai but also volunteers to do the job for them. The scene where he drags the twins and plans to kill them is downright disturbing. Ogi believes he is unable to become the Clan head because his daughters are \u201cfailures\u201d of the Zenin Clan. As the sisters are on death\u2019s door, Mai sacrifices her life for Maki\u2019s sake. She creates a cursed tool for Maki, and with Mai\u2019s death, the former unlocks the true extent of her Heavenly Restricted body. Ogi gets the death he deserves \u2013 at the hands of his daughter, whom he always disregarded for being weak. 5. Gojo\u2019s words to Geto before killing him are still unknown Gojo killing his best friend Geto will always be one of the most heartwrenching moments in Jujutsu Kaisen. During their high school years, the two stood at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world as the strongest duo. However, it wasn\u2019t long before tragedy struck, and they went on separate ways. Geto is the main antagonist of the prequel movie. Although Yuta defeats him, Gojo is the one who ends Geto\u2019s life. After asking Geto to say his final words, Gojo tells him something that is never revealed in the manga and anime. In response, Suguru gives a sad smile and says, \u201cAt least hit me with some curse at the end.\u201d Gojo\u2019s final words to his best friend remain unknown to this day. Many believe Gojo\u2019s words were something like, \u201cYou\u2019re my best friend,\u201d after Gege Akutami had hinted in an interview that the answer lies in the prequel movie. However, there\u2019s no concrete evidence to back that up. 4. The implication behind Naoya\u2019s statement about Mai Naoya Zenin is a misogynist character who fully embodies the patriarchal society of the Jujutsu world. He tells Maki and Mai\u2019s mother that a woman who can\u2019t walk three paces behind a man should be stabbed in the back. As someone who has looked down on women his entire life, Naoya meets a befitting end at the hands of Maki and her mother. Since Maki\u2019s mother lands the final blow without any cursed energy, Naoya returns as a vengeful spirit and attacks Mai, and Noritoshi Kamo also gets caught in the fight. When the Cursed Naoya mocks Maki for being a child, the latter asks if he has ever been an adult. Naoya simply responds with another question, \u201cHow about asking Mai?\u201d which makes Maki furious. Although the series didn\u2019t dwell too much on it, the implication of sexual assault couldn\u2019t be clearer. It\u2019s even more appalling if we consider the fact that Mai and Naoya are actually cousins. 3. Gojo gradually gets removed from the story No other Jujutsu Kaisen character is more loved in the fandom than Gojo. He is an important part of the story as well, but surprisingly enough, he gets sealed for more than three years in the manga. Although only 20 days have passed in the story, fans couldn\u2019t help but miss their favorite character all those years. Gojo gets sealed inside the Prison Realm after falling for Kenjaku\u2019s trap and doesn\u2019t appear in several arcs. His role also significantly lessened after that, and he couldn\u2019t make up for it. Even after getting unsealed, he appears for about 15 chapters before dying at the hands of Sukuna. It\u2019s surely shocking that one of the most important characters in the story is so conveniently removed from the plot and loses his importance. However, Gojo\u2019s disappearance and death cleared the way for other characters to shine. 2. Nobara\u2019s death remains unconfirmed to this day Nobara\u2019s supposed death is one of the most controversial moments in Jujutsu Kaisen history. She loses against Mahito after getting a graze on her face. The scene quickly changes to a flashback after Nobara touches her face. After the flashback ends, Nobara asks Yuji to tell everyone that \u201cit wasn\u2019t so bad\u201d before collapsing from her wounds bursting up. All these hints are more than enough to justify her death, but suddenly, Aoi Todo arrives there with Arata Nitta. Arata stops her bleeding with his technique and takes her away to rescue her. He doesn\u2019t guarantee her survival but still tries his best to get her treatment. That\u2019s the last we see of Nobara, and the series never once explained if she survived or not. Considering that it\u2019s been almost four years, Nobara\u2019s return doesn\u2019t seem likely. 1. Gojo\u2019s death sparked fury in the fandom No other moment in Jujutsu Kaisen has triggered fans as much as Gojo\u2019s death did. Fans were enjoying the battle of the strongest for a few months as they witnessed the ultimate clash between Gojo and Sukuna. Gojo never once doubted his victory, while the King of Curses had more than a few tricks up his sleeve. The fight continued for 13 chapters and ended with the death of the strongest sorcerer in the modern era. However, what\u2019s infuriating is that Chapter 235 almost confirms Gojo\u2019s victory, but Chapter 236 suddenly kills him off-screen. Not only that, but the author also jokes about missing a chapter in between. Whether Gojo\u2019s death was justified or not doesn\u2019t change the fact that the series was trending worldwide \u2013 and not in a good way. Many were even sending death threats to Gege Akutami. Although the heat has died down, fans are still upset about losing their beloved character and continue to hope for his return.
