概要

TLDRThe video is a critical analysis of the perceived shortcomings in the ending of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga.

They argue that many narrative threads were mishandled or abandoned, contributing to a lackluster finale that seemed inevitable given issues observed throughout the series. There is a particular focus on criticizing how plot devices and character actions, especially those of Sukuna, create plot holes and dissonance within the story's logic. The video also draws a comparison with Neon Genesis Evangelion, considering whether Jujutsu Kaisen might similarly neglect its overarching plot in favor of character focus. Overall, the speaker finds the series' world-building, the handling of fight scenes, and character arcs in the final arc insufficient and disappointing.

タイムライン

  • 00:00:00 - 00:07:30

    A contentious debate surrounds the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) as the internet responds to its controversial narrative choices. The speaker, having created a video critiquing the manga, revisits their previous arguments, noting how fans are divided in their interpretations of the conclusion. They predict the story might follow the pattern of focusing more on character development at the expense of plot, recalling how Hideaki Anno, the creator of 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', faced backlash for a similar move. The speaker argues that JJK's conclusion neglects coherent storytelling, leaving narrative threads unresolved. They criticize specific plot points, such as Sukuna's unexplained actions and character arcs that seem inconsistent or arbitrary. The perceived neglect of narrative structure and character development leads the speaker to dismiss much of the series' character motivations and actions as lacking depth and logical consistency, ultimately expressing satisfaction with the ending's confirmation of their longstanding criticisms.

  • 00:00:00
    so the internet has been going crazy
  • 00:00:01
    over jjk ending I'm pretty much unknown
  • 00:00:05
    but I did make an hourlong video talking
  • 00:00:07
    about why I think the manga is terrible
  • 00:00:09
    seeing everyone's reaction to the manga
  • 00:00:11
    ending is so funny to me I always had a
  • 00:00:14
    dorest approach to this mang's future
  • 00:00:16
    and I love seeing my thoughts be
  • 00:00:18
    materialized we have people saying that
  • 00:00:21
    jjk might go the Ava route which is to
  • 00:00:24
    abandon the plot and just solely focus
  • 00:00:26
    on characters that sounds probable and I
  • 00:00:28
    would likely bet on that happening but
  • 00:00:31
    the thing is hidano the creator of Ava
  • 00:00:34
    received so many threats of violence
  • 00:00:36
    like homicide rape torture and Etc
  • 00:00:39
    because of this ending he chose to go
  • 00:00:42
    people do not like this form of
  • 00:00:44
    Storytelling simply ignoring everything
  • 00:00:46
    else outside of one section of the story
  • 00:00:49
    is what turns consumers into wild
  • 00:00:52
    animals ready to tear anything apart
  • 00:00:55
    what happened to the merger man people
  • 00:00:57
    can say whatever they want about how
  • 00:00:59
    they think that thread can conclude but
  • 00:01:01
    the fact is nothing will happen with
  • 00:01:04
    this narrative setups deserve payoff a
  • 00:01:07
    very simple rule of Storytelling what
  • 00:01:09
    happened to Kaku he's just a random bum
  • 00:01:12
    that existed to lick [ __ ] as a glorified
  • 00:01:15
    plot device UT and Gojo one of the most
  • 00:01:17
    lackluster fights in the series man it
  • 00:01:20
    is still insane how sukin was able to
  • 00:01:23
    tank a hollow purple Point Blank Range
  • 00:01:25
    Toto and Angel the exact same as Miguel
  • 00:01:28
    and Laro father characters used to
  • 00:01:31
    essentially stall sua because we only
  • 00:01:33
    care about style [ __ ] substance I'm so
  • 00:01:36
    happy the manga is ending like this
  • 00:01:38
    because it confirms all my beliefs
  • 00:01:40
    related to Gay's World building he
  • 00:01:42
    introduced The Curse technique being
  • 00:01:44
    burnt out with a domain way too late in
  • 00:01:46
    the series and created plot holes
  • 00:01:48
    because of this he has higuma
  • 00:01:51
    participate in Shinjuku Showdown just
  • 00:01:53
    because he contrived it that way higar
  • 00:01:55
    ruma's motivations completely changed
  • 00:01:57
    off screen from when he fought using to
  • 00:02:00
    when he Specta the Gojo fight outside of
  • 00:02:02
    UTA who from Jujutsu High has gotten
  • 00:02:04
    well established character moments for
  • 00:02:06
    this Arc Maki was delegated to the
  • 00:02:08
    peanut gallery until she got fodderized
  • 00:02:11
    hakari could have beaten a room in like
  • 00:02:13
    two to three chapters but [ __ ] no the
  • 00:02:17
    Kimo fight with aari was barely five
  • 00:02:19
    [ __ ] chapters but I guess Gay didn't
  • 00:02:21
    want to play with it anymore I don't
  • 00:02:23
    know how anyone expected the series to
  • 00:02:25
    be anything special after we saw how the
  • 00:02:27
    disaster curses were handled arbitrarily
  • 00:02:30
    dismantled by the strongest people to
  • 00:02:32
    ever exist this manga was always going
  • 00:02:34
    to end terribly I already explained it
  • 00:02:37
    in my video but I'll explain it again
  • 00:02:39
    for the sake of the argument sukna
  • 00:02:41
    taking over megami's body is a plot hole
  • 00:02:44
    as soon as sukna takes over yuji's body
  • 00:02:46
    he knocks out Angel the thing is
  • 00:02:49
    knocking someone out should count as an
  • 00:02:51
    act of violence but what makes it weird
  • 00:02:53
    is that sukna then goes to lightly lay
  • 00:02:55
    her on the ground because if she dropped
  • 00:02:57
    then she would be hurt does that make
  • 00:02:59
    any sense I knock the [ __ ] out but I'll
  • 00:03:02
    only technically hurt her if I drop her
  • 00:03:04
    on the ground because I knock her out
  • 00:03:06
    next is sua literally Force feeding
  • 00:03:09
    Megami literal poison unless gay wants
  • 00:03:12
    to reccon suk's fingers being poisoned
  • 00:03:15
    this would count as an act of violence
  • 00:03:17
    these are just logical conclusions that
  • 00:03:19
    should instantly ruin someone's
  • 00:03:21
    suspension and disbelief however this is
  • 00:03:24
    not even the worst part sua tears off
  • 00:03:27
    his and yuji's finger in order to do
  • 00:03:29
    this sua says that Yuji wasn't talking
  • 00:03:32
    about himself when he made The Binding
  • 00:03:34
    vow now I need you to think about this
  • 00:03:36
    without bias in your brain and picture
  • 00:03:38
    this happening in any other Story the
  • 00:03:41
    reason the binding vow needed to be made
  • 00:03:44
    was because sua ripped out his heart and
  • 00:03:47
    literally took yuji's body hostage this
  • 00:03:50
    is explicit dialogue just when I thought
  • 00:03:55
    they couldn't get any stupider this is
  • 00:03:57
    an either or either we think Yugi is so
  • 00:04:01
    [ __ ] he forgot to include himself
  • 00:04:04
    when making that binding vow that would
  • 00:04:07
    heal his ripped out heart or we think
  • 00:04:10
    gay gay had to contrive a situation for
  • 00:04:13
    sua to be freed and didn't necessarily
  • 00:04:15
    think about the implications of such a
  • 00:04:17
    thing The Logical answer is the latter
  • 00:04:21
    actually the only answer is the lad and
  • 00:04:24
    virtually the same panel Yuji makes the
  • 00:04:26
    binding vow he also understands that
  • 00:04:28
    sukna was the one one to kill him
  • 00:04:30
    meaning the author had to make Yuji
  • 00:04:32
    [ __ ] and or reccon this entire event
  • 00:04:36
    in order to fuel the current narrative I
  • 00:04:38
    say all this to say that as a result of
  • 00:04:40
    this completely contrived monstrosity I
  • 00:04:43
    think most character stuff concerning
  • 00:04:44
    Mega suiki or meam miyuji is completely
  • 00:04:48
    nonsensical and vapid the functional
  • 00:04:50
    equivalent would be me listening to a
  • 00:04:52
    friend tell me a story that is
  • 00:04:54
    completely made up why the [ __ ] would I
  • 00:04:56
    continue listening I don't care about
  • 00:04:58
    the suiki stuff because yoru is a
  • 00:05:00
    garbage [ __ ] character that is Cannon
  • 00:05:02
    jobber with the most drawing experience
  • 00:05:05
    ever I don't care about meami because
  • 00:05:07
    gay contrived the situation to try to
  • 00:05:09
    make me care about him while ruining the
  • 00:05:11
    logic of the story I don't care about
  • 00:05:13
    Yuji because sua should still be inside
  • 00:05:15
    his body and or why should I care about
  • 00:05:18
    his [ __ ] ass when he is the reason
  • 00:05:20
    they're fighting this monster it was his
  • 00:05:22
    own insolence that caus this albeit
  • 00:05:25
    forced by the riter's hand with that
  • 00:05:27
    being said this video was a small
  • 00:05:29
    discussion around the ending of jjk and
  • 00:05:31
    how nobody should have expected anything
  • 00:05:33
    good we saw the main Pusher of the plot
  • 00:05:35
    scream about how much they love poop
  • 00:05:37
    just to be instantly beheaded D his
  • 00:05:40
    Kappa is dictated from his head we saw
  • 00:05:43
    how Ki hyped up since chapter 11 beat a
  • 00:05:45
    zesty Mong gaka a f booy then gamble all
  • 00:05:49
    his screen time away we saw Maki get
  • 00:05:51
    blessed up by two randoms never to be
  • 00:05:53
    seen again all to beat the bad guy she
  • 00:05:56
    had no hopes of ever beating we saw uro
  • 00:05:59
    Ryu Kashima Angel and yoru all obsess
  • 00:06:02
    over sukina for completely asinine or
  • 00:06:05
    arbitrary reasons I personally think the
  • 00:06:07
    Assumption of gaygay drawing a flashback
  • 00:06:10
    to the Han era is a reach spawned on
  • 00:06:13
    because of the nebulous dialogue around
  • 00:06:15
    T suca why the hell did Angel say he is
  • 00:06:17
    the Fallen one what the [ __ ] does that
  • 00:06:19
    even mean why did Kaku say the Revival
  • 00:06:22
    of the Han era if we don't meet more
  • 00:06:24
    than two [ __ ] people what is the
  • 00:06:26
    cursed realm what is that dream space
  • 00:06:29
    people see when they die is it just
  • 00:06:31
    design flavor or is it an intentional
  • 00:06:33
    mechanic in the series if it's the
  • 00:06:36
    former that is extremely underwhelming
  • 00:06:38
    as we has been seeing this consistently
  • 00:06:40
    for forever kaku's entire character man
  • 00:06:43
    what the [ __ ] was that how the hell did
  • 00:06:45
    kenju just matter of factly stumble upon
  • 00:06:48
    suk's twin Soul like genuinely man what
  • 00:06:51
    the hell is this I know ending stories
  • 00:06:53
    as hard but it wouldn't be half as bad
  • 00:06:56
    if you just don't [ __ ] your audience
  • 00:06:58
    if you would like to explore more of my
  • 00:07:00
    disheartened disposition on jjk my video
  • 00:07:03
    will be in the description if you have
  • 00:07:04
    the patience if there are already cracks
  • 00:07:07
    in the mirror you're not going to like
  • 00:07:08
    what you
  • 00:07:09
    [Music]
  • 00:07:19
