Summary
Yuta's return once again sidelines Yuji, stealing the spotlight from the main character in the Jujutsu Kaisen theory. Gege Akutami's storytelling choices repeatedly sideline Yuji, interrupting his character development. Witches like Hiromi Higuruma and Choso played important roles in supporting Yuji, but Yuta once again stole the spotlight.
Yuta Okkotsu has returned to the fray Jujutsu KaisenHis final battle, even in his “monstrous” form after taking over the body of his teacher, Gojo. However, this means that the series' theoretical main character, Yuji Itadoriwas pushed to the edge again, just when he had shown progress and strength to confront Sukuna.
As with every other Shonen Jump series, it's clear who the main character is, but that's not the same with Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen. This belongs to the author, Gege Akutami, who chose not to portray Yuji as a typical protagonist of the Shonen genre. Although there is no mistake in the way Yuji is portrayed, this has many times unintentionally caused Yuji to be marginalized when other characters such as Gojo or Megumi take the spotlight. However, with Gojo's death and Megumi being possessed by Sukuna, Yuji finally gets his chance to shine as the main character,
This is especially true since the startling revelation of Yuji harboring a soul similar to Sukuna. With Yuji pushing Sukuna to the brink, Jujutsu Kaisen finally begins to explain why Yuji was chosen as the main character. However, recent developments threaten to once again push Yuji to the sidelines.
Yuta's return is pushing Yuji to the sidelines once again
Yuji's focus is being stolen by the previous protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen
In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #261, “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 33”, Gojo's exciting and shocking return turns out to be Yuta using Kenjaku's cursed technique to implant himself into his body. of his teacher. It was clear that Sukuna was on the verge of defeat first Yuji unleashed a barrage of Black Lightning at the Cursed King. Sukuna has no choice but to expand his territory to escape this predicament, and that's when Yuta appears to save the world. This story completely marginalizes main character Yuji Itadori for no apparent reason.
Yuta's return in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #261 could be considered unnecessary, especially when the fight between Yuji and Sukuna is reaching its climax. Yuji's role as protagonist finally gets some depth, especially with the reveal that he may be a descendant of Sukuna. With a soul identical to Sukuna's, Yuji emerged as a better or better version of the Curse King, embodying the part of Sukuna that was lost when he consumed his twin in the womb. However, Yuta's shocking return interrupts the flow of this story and raises questions about Yuji's position as the protagonist.
Gege Akutami is using witches as food for Sukuna
Since Gojo was killed by Sukuna, one witch after another has continuously joined the fight, but their participation hasn't made much of a difference. Characters like Hiromi Higuruma, Aoi Todo, and Choso are the only ones so far who have made a real effort on the battlefield by supporting Yuji and giving him the attention he deserves. Higuruma and Choso made the necessary sacrifices to give Yuji the advantage over Sukuna. While Todo is fulfilling his role in assisting Yuji in fighting opponents, just like he did before in the battle against the cursed spirits, Mahito and Hanami.
All of this seems to point towards a coral attempt to defeat Sukuna by giving Yuji responsibility for this impossible mission. However, Yuta later returns to steal Yuji's attention, just like Gojo and Megumi often did in the past. This is more disappointing and frustrating than ever, especially since Jujutsu Kaisen ultimately worked very hard to establish Yuji as the main character.
