Throughout the series, Gege Akutami showcased Sukuna as an opponent of unmatched strength. The King of Curses left several Gojo fans traumatized after killing their beloved character and slashing him apart. Sadly, Gege Akutami concluded Sukuna’s long-anticipated end in a single chapter, leaving many fans bitterly disappointed.
With only a few chapters left for conclusion, Akutami’s JJK has taken the entire internet by storm. Nevertheless, the latest new-gen anime has surpassed many legendary titles like Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist, and many more, in terms of popularity. While many fans praise the mangaka’s splendid narrative behind JJK‘s immense popularity, the often-overlooked production studio efforts also played a key role in the series’ success.
Unveiling the Secret Behind Jujutsu Kaisen‘s Popularity
From thrilling action scenes to compelling characters, Gege Akutami introduced every key element to leave a long-lasting impression on the audience. With the release of Season 1, the anime instantly established a huge fanbase in the community. Moreover, MAPPA is receiving tons of praise from the fandom for beautifully adapting Akutami’s manga by staying true to the original and enhancing its impact.
Gege Akutami navigated many challenges by learning from the shortcomings of iconic manga titles and avoiding their pitfalls. The mangaka heavily focuses on portraying the iconic moments of male characters through their narrative. While most shonen anime often emphasizes female characters, JJK stood out among viewers for its exceptional fan service, especially with its male characters.
Several iconic characters like Gojo, Sukuna, and Nanami left a memorable impression on fans, playing a significant role in JJK‘s enormous popularity. Undoubtedly, MAPPA deserves huge credit for adapting Akutami’s creativity to its finest and always exceeding fans’ expectations. Not to forget, Nanami’s iconic rage moment during the Shibuya Incident left many fans awe-struck, including Bleach‘s creator.
Akutami’s narrative focuses heavily on male characters and MAPPA consistently works in enhancing the fan-favorite manga’s visuals and emotional depth on screen. Not to forget, Gojo Satoru’s design and personality are highly regarded among the fandom, and at times the production studio included unexpected fan service, leaving viewers thrilled.
While it’s true that male characters take the most spotlight in the JJK series, Akutami hasn’t disappointed fans with their narrative of female characters, one such example being Nobara. Not to mention, Nobara’s surprising return has made the entire fandom erupt with excitement.
Kento Nanami’s Most Broken Ability in JJK
By the end of JJK Season 2, fans were left emotionally scarred by the tragic demise of two beloved characters, Nanami and Nobara. Kento Nanami was first introduced back in Season 1 and instantly emerged as a crowd-favorite character because of his intimidating personality.
Apart from his proficient control of Curse Energy, Nanami’s Binding Vow assisted him in surviving several life-threatening battles. In Jujutsu Kaisen, a Binding Vow is a pact made by a sorcerer with jujutsu that creates conditions for themselves or agreements with others.
Nanami’s BV called Overtime increased his cursed energy from 80-90% to 110-120% when he worked overtime. In short, his Binding Vow allowed him to receive a significant power boost, making it one of the most broken abilities in JJK.
Many powerful sorcerers like Gojo, Sukuna, and Kenjaku, were renowned and feared for their expertise with Binding Vows. Not to mention, the King of Curses showcased six powerful BVs that helped him get the upper hand against Gojo Satoru.
Jujutsu Kaisen can be streamed on Crunchyroll, whereas the manga can be read on Viz Media.
