The plot, so far, seems like it's gonna be fine but the intense chemistry of all the characters makes it impossible to look away. I would read the manga even if it didn't have any cool fights if only to see them all again. Pineda, Rafael Antonio (October 12, 2020). "iQiyi Adds 4 Fall Anime for Southeast Asia".

There are minor psychological explorations, especially regarding power, which I find interesting. But these are too few and far between. Akutami stated that Neon Genesis Evangelion influenced the mythological aspects of the series, [8] being also influenced by horror and found footage films. [9] Akutami is particularly a fan of Yoshihiro Togashi, author of YuYu Hakusho and Hunter × Hunter, [9] [10] expressing intentions to have an art style as close as possible to his. [8] The author is also a fan of Tite Kubo, author of Bleach, and discussed in an interview with him the similarities between their works. [11] [12] Other manga artists who influenced Akutami include Masashi Kishimoto ( Naruto) and Yusuke Murata ( Eyeshield 21 and One-Punch Man illustrator). [8] The magic system of Jujutsu Kaisen is largely based on Hunter × Hunter, whose fights, in Akutami's words, "rejects emotional arguments", stating, however, that like Daisuke Ashihara [ ja], World Trigger 's author, whose magic system is also similar to Togashi's series, Akutami is trying to find and develop their own style. [9] In particular, Akutami believes the first chapter was a mix of Bleach and Naruto. Akutami regrets some elements of the first chapter, due to the short appearance of Yuji's grandfather within the story. [13]In October 2022, Crunchyroll and BoxLunch announced their merchandise collaboration for the series' photo experience spots alongside My Hero Academia, in select stores in the United States. Fans could take pictures through select locations, featuring an additional installation with characters of the series. The BoxLunch stores were also hosted a lottery with an exclusive meet-and-greet event with the Jujutsu Kaisen voice actors as the prize. [86] Reception Manga

Just when I thought I was done with the shōnen genre, Jujutsu Kaisen comes along and slaps me upside the head. Whilst this manga isn't anything groundbreaking or original (it literally has all the tropes of a typical shōnen), it was so damn fun and addictive. The characters were all so memorable and the battles scenes were so badass! Kensho Ono, Megumi Ogata Win 16th Annual Seiyū Awards". Anime News Network. March 5, 2022.

When Sukuna first showed up he didn't look that terrifying (unlike what would happen afterward), perhaps even the King of Curse went out of practice a bit after 1000 years of being sealed away!? XDThinking that it doesn't involve me there's no way I can convince myself that it's not my fault. No thanks. I can't say what I'll be thinking when I die, but I'm not gonna regret the way I live!"
