Jujutsu Kaisen has several surprising scenes, and many of them ended with the death of some of its most beloved characters.
The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, which adapted arcs as interesting as 'The Shibuya Incident', meant a real rollercoaster of emotions for spectators push several of the main characters to the limit of this popular action anime, including Yuji Itadori, our protagonist.
Itadori himself could be considered the perfect example of the enormous emotional scars left behind by some of the darkest events that were present in the batch of chapters that formed this season, concluding many of those situations in the death of characters of special relevance to the plot. Gege Akutami, creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, once spoke about what he thinks about the numerous deaths in his work, and in this article we will review some of the most impressive that we have seen in anime.
The following lines include major spoilers from the first and second seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Junpei Yoshino
Junpei Yoshino's death was the most shocking of the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Although he was a secondary character in the plot, in the story arc of 'The Showdown with Mahito' we had the opportunity to get to know the character in depth, from his pessimistic view of the world even his difficulties socializing. In addition, we also discovered that she was suffering from bullying by some of his classmates.
Junpei's life took a huge turn when he met Mahito, a curse that constantly manipulated him, making him believe that he had finally found a friend he could trust. It didn't take long for Mahito to mutate the young man until he becomes an enemy for Yuji Itadori, dying shortly after.
Riko Amanai
Riko Amanai was a character of great importance in the arc of 'The Stellar Plasma Vessel' and, despite his little time on screen, he managed to win the affection of fans for his interactions with Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo, allowing us to enjoy various comic situations and showing us the more human side of Suguru.
The young woman became the main target of Toji Fushiguro, who managed to kill her with an accurate shot to the head. As with Junpei's death, the shocking outcome of Riko Amanai's life showed viewers that Jujutsu Kaisen is, in fact, a much darker work than other anime of the same genre.
Toji Fushiguro
The 'Stellar Plasma Vessel' arc reached its highest point in the second confrontation that Gojo and Toji Fushiguro hada character who was able to defeat Suguru Geto and Gojo himself thanks in part to the benefits granted to him by his heavenly restriction.
The battle between Gojo and this sorcerer killer It continues to be remembered as one of the best of the entire work for fans, and concluded with a brutal scene in which we could see part of Toji's body completely destroyed after receiving the 'Purple' Imaginary Technique by Gojo.
It is worth mentioning that Toji made an unexpected return in the 'Shibuya Incident' arc, once again showing his incredible power by defeating Dagon before the surprised group formed by Kento Nanami, Maki Zenin, Naobito Zenin and Megumi Fushiguro. After defeating this special curse, Toji separated Megumi from said group and faced him face to face. The young sorcerer had nothing to do against his new adversary and, luckily for him, Touji decided to end the fight. giving himself a fatal head injury.
Kento Nanami
Perhaps the most painful death that the Shibuya arc left us. We can only say good things about Kento Nanami, since since his debut he proved to be a sorcerer with an exemplary attitude and with a personality that contrasted greatly with that of Satoru Gojo, since He never made the mistake of undervaluing his opponents.
Kento Nanami always had as a priority the protection of the young sorcerers who fought alongside him, and we could see this when he decided to look for Megumi at Shibuya station despite having severe burns covering much of his body. Without a doubt, a sorcerer who left viewers with the feeling that He did everything he could for the good of his teammates..
