Jujutsu Kaisen has a lot of great characters that contribute significantly to the plot. However, they believe that Shoko Ieiri is a character who has contributed very little to the story since then. According to them, the character's role in the story is unclear, as she has not done anything of consequence in the story.
Shoko Ieiri is a jujutsu spellcaster specializing in the Reverse Curse Technique. She is the only known necromancer who can heal others with her curse powers. That's why she is a valuable member of the jujutsu society. Shoko was also Gojo and Geto's classmate during their student days.
With her Inversion Technique and her connection to Gojo and Geto, Shoko should have been an important character with a major role in the story. However that did not happen. She appears very little in the story and does not participate in any major incidents such as the Shibuya Incident and the Return of the Death Game, where other necromancers were betting their lives.
Although Yaga once said that Shoko was removed from the front lines because of her value as a healer, fans were disappointed by how little her presence mattered in the story. Not only is she absent from all major events, but she also doesn't do anything meaningful in Gojo's past arc.
Now that the fight with Sukuna has dragged on for so long, Jujutsu Kaisen fans are wondering about the character's role. Many people have taken to social media platforms with their opinions on the matter. One fan wrote: “Will her RCT ever benefit our main cast other than Maki?”
Another user called her “useless” while some criticized her for not doing anything else while other characters died. Some fans also believe that she will have more work to do in the future.
Because many characters like Yuta, Kusakabe, Choso were seriously injured in the battle with Sukuna. So Shoko gets a chance to shine and finally contribute to the story. However, whether she will be given a significant role in the story is unknown.
