Nagi Yoshino
While "Jujutsu Kaisen" is not without its flaws, one narrative aspect that has sparked discussions is the fate of Nagi Yoshino. Some argue that her demise serves as a device for character development, a trope often criticized as 'fridging.' However, Nagi defies the stereotypical fridging scenario, as her character is more than just a "doomed love interest/relative."
Nagi earned her place as a fan favorite, likely due to her likable and easy-going nature. Imperfect but relatable, she wasn't the epitome of a flawless parent. She smoked, indulged in drinks, and even allowed her son Junpei to skip school when he felt inclined. Nagi harbored a unique perspective, believing in Junpei's potential success in any life path, regardless of conventional educational routes. Her primary concern was not academic achievements but rather witnessing Junpei break free from his somber shell, form friendships, and experience happiness.
The tragedy that befalls the Yoshino family becomes all the more poignant given Nagi's genuine and nurturing intentions. Her character goes beyond a mere plot device, resonating with audiences who appreciated her realistic portrayal as a flawed yet caring parent. In this way, Nagi Yoshino's narrative arc adds emotional depth to the series, transcending the potential pitfalls of the 'fridging' trope.
