The Character Development
In this season, the author has exceptionally developed the characters' personalities, with notable examples being Itadori Yuji and Suguru Geto.
Suguru Geto, once a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, undergoes a major change after clashing with Toji Fushiguro. His time as a jujutsu sorcerer sparks a strong dislike for non-sorcerers, leading to a grim incident where Suguru massacres over a hundred civilians in one night. This marks a turning point, earning him a notorious reputation as the worst curse user. His character evolves further as he can transform defeated curses into a ball, which he swallows, permanently incorporating them into his techniques.
On the flip side, Itadori Yuji's character takes a significant turn during the Shibuya Incident. After consuming 11 fingers simultaneously, Yuji loses control, unleashing the King of Curses, causing havoc in Shibuya and claiming hundreds of lives. This compels Yuji to face the repercussions of his actions, bringing about a notable change in his character development.
Not only that, in the following episodes, he has to witness the deaths of Kento Nanami and his close friend, Kugisaki Nobara. Mahito is the one responsible for their deaths. After defeating Mahito, Itadori accepts the truth and believes that Mahito is a reflection of himself. He also swears to Mahito that no matter how many times he resurrects, he will find and kill him. The statement "I'm you" emphasizes that Yuji kills curses for no reason like Mahito who kills humans for no reason. Sorta like a parallel to each other.
The character journeys of both Suguru Geto and Itadori Yuji captivate attention because they reveal the complexities and challenges they face. Their transformations aren't straightforward or expected; instead, they are shaped by their experiences and choices. This dynamic aspect makes their character development in the Jujutsu Kaisen series highly engaging and relatable.
