Anyone who loves Jujutsu Kaisen will be surprised to learn that the character Nanami was originally supposed to be one of the bad guys. One of the highlights of shounen anime is the amazing way the characters evolve. Gege Akutami is very good at creating characters that we sympathize with and that are full of complexity.
In an interview, author Akutami said that his first idea was to turn Nanami into “an opposite character”.

Originally, Nanami was going to be one of the villains. He will then turn around and join the group of spellcasters. After witnessing Kento Nanami’s good deeds and courage in the Jujutsu Kaisen series, the news must have surprised fans.
Nanami is shown to be an intelligent, courageous man and former businessman, which shows that he is not someone who avoids work or is a coward. He values having a job, but does not enjoy corporate life. He thinks he grew up too quickly because of pressure and strict habits, which perhaps explains his great desire to protect young people.
This motivates him to actually participate in the fight against curses. Even though he seems closed off sometimes, deep down he’s a super nice guy. He follows his own moral code more than anyone else in Jujutsu Kaisen and does everything he can to protect the innocent, especially children, which shows how admirable he is. any.

Therefore, Nanami’s death is one of the saddest moments in anime. In the anime Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 18, Nanami met a tragic end, he died due to a curse called Mahito. His death shocked everyone and showed how much he was loved, proving that Akutami made the right choice in making him a hero.
Nanami as a villain wouldn’t have had the same impact. He became an example to younger people, inspiring even Yuji to keep fighting. His death was cruel, but it encouraged Yuji to fight the worst curses for the sake of future generations, continuing Nanami’s legacy. His influence helps shape Yuji’s path, making Jujutsu Kaisen an even more incredible story.
