Jujutsu Kaisen is no stranger to brutally killing off its characters in awesome ways, but the manga just squandered the potential of its latest death.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning! Contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapters 208 and 236!Many fans have been disappointed with some of Jujutsu Kaisen's latest deaths, but none can compare to the one that should have been the series' coolest, but instead was its most disappointing.
In Chapter 208, Yuki's fight with Kenjaku comes to an end in a spectacular fashion. Already on the verge of death from a devastating wound Kenjaku inflicted on her before, Yuki decides to sacrifice herself to take the evil sorcerer down. She grabs onto him and then uses her cursed technique to increase her mass to such magnitudes that she becomes a black hole, annihilating everything around her.
Given how little readers got to see Yuki before she died, her death lacks the emotional resonance that other major deaths like Nobara's had. And given that Kenjaku managed to survive her last desperate attack, her death doesn't even have any real significance for the plot. At the same time, her black hole was one of the coolest-looking moments of the series, taking up a full two pages of devastation and warping even the manga’s speech bubbles.
Has Jujutsu Kaisen Improved In Depicting Deaths? The most controversial recent death in the series is Gojo's demise at the hands of Sukuna, which many fans found disappointing. However, the fight leading up to that death was incredibly satisfying and while the outcome may have been a shock, it was also based on techniques fans already knew Sukuna had access to. It also took a real toll on Sukuna, which will affect him for the rest of the fight.
The one good thing about Yuki's death is that it shows how incredibly powerful Kenjaku is in Jujutsu Kaisen while eliminating a potential threat to him. But as the end of Hakari’s fight with Kashimo proves, a character doesn’t need to die to reduce their power level. Hopefully, Jujutsu Kaisen will take its remaining powerful characters in more interesting directions as the series nears its conclusion and avoid any more flashy but ultimately pointless deaths.
