Jujutsu Kaisen (Chapters 1-182)
I didn’t think that right after the 30-ish chapters that made up Season 1 carefully set up the world, power levels and characters, Akutami Gege would just throw everything together into one almighty ‘purge arc’ where he spent characters lives like poker chips and events I assumed would take hundreds of chapters to pay off ended up hardly mattering.
Such a sharp change in themes and direction I swear I got whiplash, but that ended up being funner then it sounds. And it ended up being the perfect excuse to re-enter the one and only Yuta Okkotsu back into the story and steal back the protagonist's crown from Itadori.
While I admit JJK went a little insane with its direction (and seemingly never-ending power-ups) I’m still very much excited to see where we go from here. And I really don’t think anyone is ready for what Season 2 will bring to the table, least of all me.
