| mental illness is about 4Ds especially the dysfunctional and distress part also he is not a danger to himself or others and i do not think he experiences that he is just deviant or weird |
| Lol Nothing is wrong with him, he is just a stereotypical shounen protagonist. Actually, he is a likeable one even though I don't like that characterization. |
| about his grandfathers death read the character description of him here on MAL that will explain it, hint he values proper deaths so he thinks his grandpa already have a proper death or fair death |
| Yeah, he seemed really strange to me too. A level of strangeness is fine, but the MC has been inconsistent with his strangeness so far. They showed him suffer stoically when his grandpa died, and it was a nice touch. He also was caring to his grandpa, and demonstrated a lot of understanding towards the old man. But then he's bounced back completely within moments. Sure, I don't ask for the movie-like death wailing, and he said that he couldn't process the thing yet, but it must be a heavy emotional state - you realistically wouldn't get involved into a story about some mystical mumbo jumbo told by a complete stranger the same day you family member dies. I don't think it has anything to do with autism too, tbh. The MC acts strangely socially, but it's not addressed at all. Neither the social standing his abnormal strength gives him, nor the weirdness of his opinions. He looks very well adjusted in his mannerism too. (The gay shipping teasing confuses things further.) And his motivation is weak as of now. Sure, that was his granddad's dying wish, but he's an almost adult dude and it's strange for him to take it so seriously, straight and without nuance. "I have always been stronger than others, but not this special" - ugh. "I will think about the dead reading manga" is so childish. He's, like, irregularly immature as he's shown now, basically "manly" in emotions (not showing vulnerability, proactive), laid back in dude-bro immaturity (his posters, stating his dating preference, not taking others seriously). Guess, it the author's plan to make him relateable to the broadest younger reader, yet attractive for self-insert, which most shounen MCs try to achive. |
| one thing for sure. he's not unfazed by his grandpa's death. we were shown how he cried after realizing that his grandpa is gone. he's probably the type to recover quickly afterwards (plus with all that curse thing and his own life being on danger and being introduced to a whole new world i dont doubt him focusing on things other than his grandpa's death) |
| so far his background hasn't been revealed in the manga and imo he's just simply created to be the oddball type that will encounter a lot of events and developing as a character. he's just too carefree and ignore(or not realize yet) the terror of his current situation and in the preview ep 3(you could see it for limited time in ani-one youtube channel for half the ep) that gojo mention MC is having this 'crazy' quality as a jujutsu sorcerer where each mission could be their deathbed. there might be reason why he acts that way but maybe the author still saving that part for another arc |
| There are characters like Luffy and yet people question my man Itadori |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Hotdog_Air said: I've been thinking about this, why I disagree is I feel that Naruto's personality fits the type of show it is and his character. Where as Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen, goes from really mellow and stoic in one scene to hyper in the next, he was completely unfased by his grandads death and the fight which took place at the end of episode one. Where as Naruto seems consistent with his character he is a hothead but he can read people emotionally and seems natural in social situations. On the other hand, Itadaori I get that he is a shounen character but is really stiff in his mannerisms and reactions to stuff taking place, to the point where its abit unusual I'll say he's more of Ichigo but more reserved. |
SoraSkates22 said: he cried though, his grandpa and him also had a fun bsing relationship it seems while already on his death bed. He does have super human strength, but really his classmates and school don't see it that special anyway either since they act like it's random talent when in reality it's obviously something more (but they wouldnt know except for that shockput throw). That seems more like a shounen/anime writing problem (not that serious of a show when it doesnt want to be) more than an autistic problem. His whole reasons for doing anything in ep 1 and 2 were for his grandpa as well (while always visiting him), i mean thats the whole point of that mini arc/moral story of him getting accepted to the school. I just think this makes him more of a human since you don't know what to do either if someone you love suddenly dies. But I do think the anime should have given just a few more seconds to let it marinate. |
| Where is he autistic? It seems that the author of the post is not aware of autism problems. If the character was autistic, his behavior was radically different from the type shown, his actions would have come from other motives, if at all.As a mininum, they would have shown the difficulties of perception of the world, even focused special attention on this. They immediately showed a guy who doesn't give a shit about his friends, and whom life has learned to keep a cucumber, since he is practically alone. Although, the opinion that this is such a Luffy or Naruto clearly gives a position on the character's personality, and the topic has nowhere to develop. |
| May be some anime? |
Hotdog_Air said: Myabe you missed it but the guy was crying on phone when his grandfather died. About being oblivious to his own talent, there are many people who are good at particular thing but don't want to be a part of it or enjoy doing it, as for Yuuji, anime clearly showed his reasoning for joining the club, he can just be a part of it, and do whatever he wants, leave early and goof around. His reasoning being so that he can go meet his hospitalized grandpaSo I have watched the first two episodes and my question is if the main character is Autistic? Why I ask this is, his mannerisms and dialogue in the show seem off or unusual, I understand this is a shounen anime and there needs to be silly / hyperactive moments. However, the first episode the MC goes from really calm to super hyper, he seems to struggle socialising as he is apart of the Occult club and oblivious to his own talents outside of that. Also, the main part which makes me ask this question is, his Grandpa just dies in hospital right in front of him and he seems completely unfazed by it. Then in episode 2 after the drama with the demons he calmly says to the other guy, lets go to the hospital then home you seem to be covered in blood. The expressions really don't match the dialogue. To be clear I love a alot of media which has considered corny or stilted dialogue, but in this show so far Im finding it hard to watch because the characters hardly act like regular people yet alone anime characters. I can't tell whether this is a character choice or just bad writing and execution etc. Yet currently as this is sitting on an 8/10 Im assuming its a character thing with the MC? |

| Well coming from someone that suffers from Aspergers syndrome, the main character doesn't seem to be anywhere on the spectrum. |
| His grandpa was in the hospital for at least two months, possibly more, he was already on the clock. He specifically joined the occult club so he could leave school as fast as possible so he could go see his grandpa and spend time with him; plenty of time for Itadori to come to terms with his approaching death. |
