Jujutsu Kaisen criticized for becoming repetitive

There is no doubt that "Jujutsu Kaisen" is one of the most popular manga today, not to mention its anime adaptation, one of the most appreciated cards currently for MAPPA studios with which it ensures to stand out with each new season or production. However, even though the manga is in its final arc, it has begun to receive criticism because it entered an apparent narrative cycle.

The final arc involves Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, facing off against the Sorcerers of Jujutsu one after another. One after another, different characters have confronted him and end up dead or unable to fight again. This has been repeated so many times in recent months that fans already seem to be tired of the cliché. This was stated by a user on social media, triggering a debate in forums:

• "I'll tell you why I don't like 'Jujutsu Kaisen.' Sukuna is extremely strong and is the ultimate enemy, so it's natural to think that some of the protagonists will die. So, the team of protagonists must have planned their strategy against the King of Curses. In fact, they had a month to prepare, and they had "cheated," so they should have several "insurances" ready. But what do you see in the whole arc?" he wrote.

• "Each of them throws themselves into combat against Sukuna without a second thought and they end up in pieces. Even Satoru Gojo, the strongest of them all, ended up split in half for going into battle without any precautions or any plan. Megumi Fushiguro's antagonistic behavior is also really boring. The story is being unnecessarily lengthened," he concluded.

And of course, there was no shortage of comments:

• "It's become repetitive, there's no doubt about it."
• "No one dares to speak out against Jujutsu Kaisen because the fandom is too sick."
• "If any of them had had a plan, surely the story would have ended a long time ago."
• "For some reason, everyone fights Sukuna in a one-on-one battle thinking they can beat him."
• "The same goes for Cell's arc in Dragon Ball. They had a period of preparation and fought one-on-one."
• "Gege Akutami wants to protect Sukuna even if it means ruining the reputation of his work. Now that's true love."
• "This is a battle-royale. Endless battles around Sukuna in a never-ending cycle."
• "It's unbelievable that even on Twitter, where criticism is not allowed, no matter how bad, it is now 90% negative about the current state of Jujutsu Kaisen."
• "Isn't it amazing that even Twitter sits on your story? You don't get that very often."
• "The only thing that really matters is the fact that no one thinks of 'attacking all at once,' maybe because that's how Kimetsu no Yaiba ended, because someone finally came up with it."
• "I wonder if they will use the Kimetsu no Yaiba device where everyone decided to attack at the same time and finally managed to win."
• "Usually when everyone goes on a suicide mission, the Allied side dies in chains. And yet the enemy cannot be defeated."
• "The way things are going right now, they're going to do a sequel with no resolution. In other words, he wants to imitate what they did with Tokyo Ghoul."
• "Panda is still alive, isn't he?"
• "I used to be excited about how things would turn out. Now I just want Jujutsu Kaisen to be over as soon as possible."
