Seriously, why the hell does the author of Jujutsu Kaisen create villains who are supposedly strong and dangerous, only for them to keep getting beaten every time they show up and, in the end, die? Honestly, I've never seen that in any other manga.

I think the worst part here is Jogo: he got beaten twice, first by Gojo and then by Sukuna, which was when he died. Literally, in any other shounen, Jogo would be the big 'boss' to be defeated by the protagonist or the group of protagonists, but here the author had him fight maybe the two strongest characters in the series.

Jogo is very strong, but he was just unlucky and he was fighting even stronger opponents

Bro was a baller but had the unfortunate luck of going against the Jordan and Lebron of the verse

Read your own comment.

Jogo fought the two strongest characters in the series, why would you expect him to win? Gojo had to be sealed or the villains wouldn't stand a chance

And Sukuna is Sukuna....he is the last boss.

The other villains served their purpose, like Mahito killing Nanami and Mechamaru. Why is he in one of these images anyway?

max4citycouncil2026-01-24 02:45

the premise of the entire original post is so invalid it might be bait.... JJK isnt the best writing but completely wrong area of the story for criticism.

>JJK isnt the best writing but completely wrong area of the story for criticism.

Agreed. There are a lot of things to be said about JJK writing but in terms of justifying who wins in a fight and reinforcing how deadly its villains are, I don't think I've seen many better.

thesanmich2026-01-24 03:30

I think Gege has great ideas, characters, and world building, but kinda ADHD execution.

The VILLAINS of JJK rarely disappoint though. He definitely knows how to craft threatening antagonists.

ActualRound76992026-01-24 02:47

This exactly. Gojo is so strong that the three trying to do their thing knew that even combined, they’d get nowhere as long as Gojo was actively in play. that speaks volumes.

gontrolo2026-01-24 02:39

I think Jogo specifically was only built up that way in order to show how strong Gojo is. At least in the beginning.

You're introduced to Gojo and told how strong he is, but only being a few episodes in it's like... what does that mean?

Then they introduce Jogo and hype him up like crazy. And then Gojo shows up and tosses him around like a napkin. And you go ohhhh okay so he's THAT strong. Got it.

Bustersword132026-01-24 02:39

Because he's good at writing characters, but bad at writing a story.

hilberttt2026-01-24 02:40

if you want to see shounen with proper progression, youd can watch older anime. HxH or Naruto have what you’re looking for

TokiVideogame2026-01-24 02:42

every filler naruto goes back to 0

ActualRound76992026-01-24 02:46

lol really? Jogo would not be the big boss. Kenjaku maybe. But also, Gojo is the strongest sorcerer in the verse. His technique is like unstoppable once you’re caught in his domain expansion.

Sukuna, is essentially a God. so even not at full strength, the strength he does have is still considerably more than most if not everyone currently in universe.

jjvergar2026-01-24 02:49

They are called jobbers. Like in wrestling, the characters are used to make the ones who defeated them look better. From Jogo vs Gojo, we got the domain expansion mechanic explanation and reveal for both characters. Jogo vs Sukuna again revealed Sukuna’s fire arrow. Mahito wasn’t a jobber and had plenty of wins. Naoya again showed the strength of Choso and revealed his inability to die from blood loss. Naoya vs Maki should also be obvious.

Hoodedmastersin2026-01-24 02:50

I could be alone here, but it’s kinda refreshing to see protagonists not need some ass pull or power of friendship when it comes to enemies because no matter their training or power ups, the enemies reveal their next form or whatever.

illonamoon2026-01-24 02:53

To be fair Jogo only wanted to fight gojo and sukuna, he easily made barbecue meat of maki, nanami and naobito. It's safe to say Jogo probably could have curb stomped everybody not yuta.

Mahito is arguably more important than jogo and he technically was the 'villain' of the last two seasons that the protagonists really had to beat. Yuji the protagonist and Toto had to team up to beat mahito and those two barely won that.

JJK is essentially Bleach (and more recent).

"Rule of what feels coolest in the immediate moment, but is less cool in the long run."

Characters are normally shown as being very mean and flamboyant, and you can see this as early as the first episode. This anime while shallow, is **not inconsistent** (it has always been this bad). This show has always abused death from the very start, death lost its weight long ago.

If anything was different back in season 1 is that the viewers were more trusting and naive. The comic relief never worked for me and felt cheesy as hell.

thesanmich2026-01-24 03:03

Why is it “bad” if it doesn’t play out like how you expect?

We still got a pretty thorough showcase of Jogo’s powers and his personality. He was a very strong curse spirit, and this was made evident in Shibuya. The character is literally a subversion of the mid to high level henchman who’s a “jobber”. We think he’s unimpressive at first, but the story purposefully pits him against Gojo & Sukuna to mislead us.

We not only learn more about the concepts of high level Jujutsu through those 2 fights, but also their character traits. For Gojo, his cockiness and tendency to be a bit of a sadist, particularly with cursed spirits. For Sukuna, his philosophy of “might above all”, and appreciation of raw strength and skill, even in his opponents. For Jogo, his insecurities and mental blocks.

Personally, I think the disaster curses fulfilled their purpose.

Aemiliana_Rosewood2026-01-24 03:07

> literally any other shonen

Some may say JJK isn't any other shonen and that's a good thing.
Personally I don't need Jogo to be another dollar store final boss with Sukuna present in the story. He fulfills his role well as a minor antagonist. There are plenty other major antagonists like Mahito too.

> never seen that in any other manga

Didn't read a lot of manga then? Hyped up antagonists that did faster for valid narrative reasons are not uncommon, I guess?

lnSerT_Creative_Name2026-01-24 03:12

This happens pretty often in shonens, I dunno what to tell you dude

Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist, was killed by children.

sagevallant2026-01-24 03:34

You thought the guy who couldn't solo Choso was supposed to be a serious threat?
