spoiler alert
About the whole comic.
10 Inumaki Toge
He was originally one of the main characters, but he barely did anything at the end.
- First appearance: Chapter 0-1 (comic) Episode 5 (animation)
Inumaki Toge He was one of Yuta's classmates and was assumed to be one of the main characters of the series. Although this later changed when the manga shifted the focus to Itadori and his friends, Inumaki still remained an important character in the story thanks to his unique curse technique, Cursed Speech.
However, as the manga continued, Inumaki became less relevant to the point where he almost disappeared from the story. After losing one of his arms during Sukuna's rampage in Shibuya, he didn't really do anything except record himself saying “Don't move” on a tape recorder for Yuta to use against the King of Curses in the final battle. . After Sukuna's defeat, Inumaki returned to his normal life.
9 panda
He lost his father and siblings. Now what?
- First appearance: Chapter 0-1 (comic) Episode 5 (animation)
can't deny it panda is one of the most attractive characters. Do a jujutsu. He is a mutant cursed corpse created by Principal Yaga, possessing three different cores within his body, each with their own unique abilities. With his adorable design and charming personality, it's clear why he was one of the series' original protagonists.
Unlike Inumaki, Panda maintained an active role after the Shibuya Incident, but it certainly left much to be desired. First, his father was executed by his Jujutsu superiors, but other than briefly mourning his death, Panda didn't really do anything about this loss. Moreover, the fact that two cores were obliterated by Casimo and that even the power of the younger sister's Triceratops mode could not be fully demonstrated was disappointing to readers who had been waiting for this transformation for a long time. After this crushing defeat, Panther could be seen hanging around the other characters in a smaller form, but he didn't do much.
8 Uraume
Wait, why did they follow Sukuna in the first place?
- First appearance: Episode 53 (Cartoon) Episode 21 (Animation)
Sukuna's most loyal subordinate, UraumeHe was also one of the most powerful incarnate wizards in the series. Mainly thanks to Ice Formation, a cursed technology that allows you to use cryogenic abilities that freeze you. However, despite playing such an important role as Sukuna's second-in-command, Uraume was completely underutilized in the final chapter.
While the remaining heroes fought their master, they were to have a climactic final meeting with Ginji Hakari. Unfortunately, as interesting as this was, most of the fighting took place off-screen. Uraume appears in the final chapter and goes to the afterlife with Sukuna, but it is unsatisfying as their backstory and motivations are not properly established.
7 Hakari Ginji
His epic final battle wasn't even shown.
- First appearance: Article 153 (Cartoons)
At the beginning of the cartoon, Hakari Ginji Established himself as one of the most talented and powerful wizards. When this suspended student later debuted, he certainly didn't disappoint, engaging in some of the most surprising and bizarre battles in the series thanks to the pachinko-themed domain expansion.
Hakari played an important role in separating Sukuna from his subordinate Uraume during the final battle. This invisible encounter was extremely disappointing. This is because most readers were looking forward to seeing him show off his unique abilities once again. He couldn't even defeat them because Uraume committed suicide after Sukuna died. In the final chapter, it is suddenly revealed that Hakari and Kirara are resuming their studies in the jujutsu department, but this felt like a hasty development.
6 Hajime Casimo
It went from being a huge threat to being prey for Sukuna.
- First appearance: Article 158 (Cartoons)
Don't do it Cassimo An incarnate wizard who wields cursed energy from 400 years ago. He quickly showed how incredibly powerful he is, defeating numerous players in the Culling Game, including Panda. In the end, Kashima had one goal in mind. It was a direct fight with Ryomen Sukuna.
Hakari successfully convinced Kashimo to fight on his side, which resulted in him being immediately deployed against Sukuna in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. He even used his most dangerous technique, the Mythical Beast Amber, but none of this was enough to defeat the King of Curses, who quickly disposed of him without issue. Despite the exciting final conversation about power, the fact that Kasimo was ultimately used as fodder to show off Sukuna's power was quite frustrating.
5 Miguel Oduol
Kenya's most powerful wizard has quietly returned to his homeland.
- First appearance: Chapter 0-3 (comic) If you do a jujutsu 0 (Japanese cartoon movie)
existence Miguel Oduol It introduces a very interesting concept. Do a jujutsu: It is predicted that there will be wizards in other countries who are as powerful as Gojo Satoru and who have influenced the society of their home countries. However, this great concept isn't fully explored until the end of the comic, and not much is shown about Yuta's African training.
Miguel got the chance to show off his impressive abilities in the final battle against Sukuna, but when things got too tricky, he was transported elsewhere, only to be later seen returning to Kenya as usual. That's it? Since Miguel is a very strong wizard, it would have been interesting to see what kind of curses and wizards he had to deal with in his country, and how his experiences in Japan affected him.
4 Tsukumo Yuki
The strongest female wizard was brutally murdered.
- First appearance: Episode 50 (Cartoon) Episode 20 (Animation)
As the only female special magician and mentor to Todo Aoi, fans have been waiting for her. Tsukumo Yuki To show off all her abilities over the years. She eventually got the chance to do so during a fierce battle with Kenjaku, and with her powerful skills and bombastic personality, she had the potential to become one of the most popular characters in the series.
However, Yuki sadly did not survive the encounter with one of the main antagonists and died suddenly when Kenjaku suddenly used his anti-gravity technique. It was disappointing because after so many years of build-up, Yuki died in the blink of an eye, diminishing the impact of the entire character.
3 Nobara Kugisaki
She finally reappeared when there were only a few chapters left in the comic.
- First appearance: Chapter 3 (Cartoon) Episode 2 (Animation)
Gege Akutami's treatment Kugisaki Nobara The personality was divisive. She was introduced as the female protagonist of the series and quickly proved to be a likeable friend and powerful sorceress, but left the story after her fatal encounter with Mahito in the Shibuya Incident.
For years, fans have wondered whether Novara was actually dead or not. Eventually, she reappeared in the story in episode 267, helping Itadori finish off Sukuna with a resonance technique. As epic as this moment was, the manga ended just four chapters later, with Nobara absent for most of it. She was finally reintroduced and resumed her normal life, even if you think there was never a clear resolution to her story in the first place.
2 Kenzaku
One of the main antagonists didn't even get a proper send-off.
- First appearance: Chapter 10 (comic) Episode 5 (animation)
evil wizard Kenzaku The two main characters of the series, Satoru Gojo, had personal conflicts because he possessed his best friend's body and imprisoned him, and Yuji Itadori because he possessed the woman who would become his mother. To create the perfect bowl for Sukuna.
Despite this intense personal fight, Gojo and Itadori didn't even get a chance to fight or interact with Kenjaku before he was suddenly killed by Yuta. There's no denying that his comical final battle with Fumihiko Takaba was one of the brightest moments in the entire manga, but it's very unfortunate that not much was revealed about Kenzaku after his decisive defeat. Takaba is later seen preparing a new comedy routine with a man very similar to Geto. Should I say it is a type of Kenzaku?
1 Gojo Satoru
He successfully broke the seal, but died a few chapters later.
- First appearance: Chapter 0-1 (comic) Episode 1 (animation)
To this day, Gojo Satoru's Death is one of the most divisive and controversial moments in the world. Do a jujutsu. On paper, this is an interesting idea. Because he was an undeniably powerful character, his death left a huge void in Jujutsu society, and if it weren't for Gojo's friends and colleagues, Sukuna would have taken that place.
The problem is that Gojo was completely missing from the story for almost 140 chapters because he was sealed inside the prison realm by Kenzaku. Unlike Nobara, Gojo was killed off just a few chapters after being reintroduced. The fight itself was exciting, one of the best in the series, but Sukuna's victory felt cheap and worthless.
Gojo had a great influence on Itadori, who would carry on his legacy, but that was not enough for such a beloved icon. Gojo was such a fun and complex character, and it's a real shame that he was cut from the comics in such a disappointing way.
