Jujutsu Kaisen

Hidden in plain sight, an age-old conflict rages on. Supernatural monsters known as "Curses" terrorize humanity from the shadows, and powerful humans known as "Jujutsu" sorcerers use mystical arts to exterminate them. When high school student Yuuji Itadori finds a dried-up finger of the legendary Curse Sukuna Ryoumen, he suddenly finds himself joining this bloody conflict.

Attacked by a Curse attracted to the finger's power, Yuuji makes a reckless decision to protect himself, gaining the power to combat Curses in the process but also unwittingly unleashing the malicious Sukuna into the world once more. Though Yuuji can control and confine Sukuna to his own body, the Jujutsu world classifies Yuuji as a dangerous, high-level Curse who must be exterminated.

Detained and sentenced to death, Yuuji meets Satoru Gojou—a teacher at Jujutsu High School—who explains that despite his imminent execution, there is an alternative for him. Being a rare vessel to Sukuna, if Yuuji were to die, then Sukuna would perish too. Therefore, if Yuuji were to consume the many other remnants of Sukuna, then Yuuji's subsequent execution would truly eradicate the malicious demon. Taking up this chance to make the world safer and live his life for a little longer, Yuuji enrolls in Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, jumping headfirst into a harsh and unforgiving battlefield.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (170/? eps)

Since i made it this far, watched both seasons and movie 0, read the manga at the beginning of end Syibuya Incident, i say
It is either recommended to watch nor i don’t recommend it
It is all about hype and enthusiastic, if you are into this type that’s story is made for fan service and memes it can enjoy readers, it may be suitable to you, so at this far i can tell:-

Story and its elements all weak
The biggest problem is in action itself, it ruins the plot, existing of Gojo Saturo himself and reversed cursed technique in general ruins the plot and weakens it to ... the lowest, the plot is the conflict, it gotta be made balance that’s to show the world itself is balance, and protagonist’s sake is worth, it is gotta be made well for the protagonist that’s himself is the point of view of his world. If conflict and plot ain’t made well, what is worth to watch? In general we see protagonist and the story fills us with meaning within his journey, so if there no plot, the story is meaningless, he can pass all through without disadvantages, that’s not true and ain’t good to watch, the plot must be made well, keep that in mind.

Since the action is merge with Physical world and Invisible world(Non Physical and it is all about souls), i find it ridiculous that’s non sense conflict and fights!
You can’t effect on physical world by merely cursed techniques, it is silly, and how some non users jujutsu can fight those techniques? Ridiculous
It is gotta be balance to be good action, i kept asking friends for years how souls effect on physics, all i got is “It is japanese culture”
At least Berserk deserves some credits it is good merging with the two world, it didn’t happen in no time or the world was what it is.

The characters relations are shallow, there is no well made conflict between character, and if it is there, it is no realistic, how are there characters acting like this, and believing it is a good thing?
Characters must have dimensions that’s to be a real conflict or effect on characters’ belief, no complex relation has been shown
The most important relation in my guess is between Geto Sujuru and Gojo Saturo, and it is week, at least i have to confess that’s been ideas in Geto and Mahito, Sukuna, few dialogues those were interesting about Philosophy, i enjoyed reading them, though it ain’t making this work great.

All i can say Gege had really some thoughts about Jujutsu Kaisen, but ain’t been made well, Thanks to him i enjoyed, but it has to be made well or put in in consider what’s good and bad, Because knowing what level is it showing to you helps you to consider things better.

Not Recommended

Preliminary (250/? eps)

I have too many issues with this manga to sit here and list them all, so here's the simple version.

The story is super boring. At this point in the story (chapter 250), the good guys have been fighting the bad guy for what feels like an eternity. If the bad guy wins, he's basically free to take over the world. That's pretty much the story.

The fighting is too complicated and convoluted to keep track of, and it takes forever to explain. It seems like at least one character uses some new technique or ability each chapter that takes at least half the chapter to explain. ...
