With Jujutsu Kaisen having aired two seasons and the third season eagerly anticipated by fans, the treatment of its female characters has sparked in-depth discussions among the audience. Fans have particularly noted some characters who may be underestimated or overlooked by viewers. Let's delve into the unique qualities and potential issues surrounding these characters.
Jujutsu Kaisen, a popular series, follows protagonist Yuji Itadori as he leads sorcerers in thrilling battles against powerful curses. However, some characters seem to have limited development space. For instance, female characters like Nobara Kugisaki and Yuki Tsukumo often find themselves unable to fully utilize their potential due to plot constraints, despite their rich backgrounds and abilities.
Fans have commented: "I absolutely adore Miwa Kasumi, but I hope to see more of her in the storyline." Another fan said, "I also appreciate Nobara Kugisaki and Yuki Tsukumo, but their development feels somewhat lacking."
Data shows that Jujutsu Kaisen holds a significant place in anime sales and is widely popular. However, the portrayal of its female characters has received mixed reviews—the series seemingly fails to provide enough opportunities for these characters to shine. This has led to discussions about the development space for female characters.
Anime critic Mr. Li Xiaoming believes that while Jujutsu Kaisen's characters are interesting, the lack of development and attention for female characters could impact the overall quality and reception of the story.
This issue has ignited fervent discussions among fans, who have voiced their support for the overlooked characters and expressed their expectations. Some hope the creators will empower these characters more, giving them broader growth space and richer storylines.
For Miwa Kasumi, her unique charm has captivated many. From her character profile, we see a glimpse of her enigmatic nature: a 17-year-old born on April 4th in Kyoto.
Behind Maki's ordinary life lies a deep sense of responsibility towards her family. To avoid burdening her mother, she chose to become a sorcerer, aiming to earn money through enhancing her skills. Her tactical approach to battles is not just about fighting but about finding opportunities to showcase her strength, highlighting her wisdom and resilience. In the manga, her relationship with Mechamaru and her concern for him further emphasize her inner kindness and care.
Despite being ranked as a third-grade sorcerer, Maki's potential and hidden techniques suggest she is far from simple. From Mai's dialogues, we can infer that she possesses undisclosed techniques and secrets that have yet to be fully revealed in the anime. To me, Maki's "useless" label is merely a stage in her growth journey, with her potential and growth space awaiting further exploration.
As for Nobara Kugisaki, she is a vibrant and charismatic female character—a bold and confident girl whose emotions are openly displayed. Hailing from the countryside, she decided to attend school in Tokyo, driven by curiosity about the city. She loves her appearance and despises anyone who tries to insult her. Her eloquence makes her the group's main source of witty comebacks, and even in deadly battles, she can taunt her opponents with her unique sense of humor. Her strength and pain tolerance make her formidable in fights.
Nobara's disdain for her small village and ignorant villagers led her to move to Tokyo for high school, escaping the rural constraints. As she bid farewell to her friend Saori with tears in her eyes, she resolved to live more freely. She believes that city life in Tokyo will bring new possibilities. Besides her longing for Tokyo, Nobara also hopes to reunite with Saori's warmth. If given the chance, she hopes to become a free individual while proving her worth and abilities.
