Jujutsu Kaisen and Solo Leveling are both extremely popular anime. They are powerhouses among the modern anime series, with millions of fans worldwide. Yet, when it comes down to it, they struggle with the same fundamental issue of focusing on their protagonists.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a narrative with rich characters, lore, and development. So much so that the protagonist himself feels secondary to the narrative. The anime has faced a lot of criticism for sidelining Yuji Itadori in favor of not one but many side characters.

Characters like Gojo Satoru and Sukuna steal the spotlight and feel much more alive than Yuji, who seems to develop very little throughout. On the contrary, we have Solo Leveling, which does the exact opposite, making everything revolve around Jinwoo, the protagonist, without giving the side characters many chances to develop.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s mistake...

This feature contains spoilers for the Gege Akutami's manga Jujutsu Kaisen.

Ryomen Sukuna has become one of the most well-known villains in the Shonen genre. His bloodshed, hate for the protagonist, and interesting character motivations have made him a character with such a dedicated fanbase that fans were expecting and even hoping that he would come out victorious for the final arc of the manga. Considering the massacre, he's led not only on civilians but also the main cast. For a moment, it appeared they might get their wish.

Like anime favorite Satoru Gojo, a large part of the fanfare surrounding Sukuna is his abilities. Titled the Strongest Sorcerer of History, Sukuna showed excellent combat skills, intellect, and more. The highlight of his skillset is the cursed techniques he is ready to use immediately. This guide explains the intricacies of Sukuna's cursed techniques now that the manga has concluded...

Cursed techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen are known for being extremely complex, often involving strategies, layered mechanics, and a blend of unique abilities. From Gojo's Limitless and Six Eyes to Megumi's Ten Shadows, the series is full of abilities that challenge both the characters and readers to understand them fully. But in the middle of this complexity, Sukuna's slashing techniques, Dismantle and Cleave, stand out not for their intricacy but for their brutal simplicity. They are very elegant and thrive on efficiency over flashiness.

Sukunas Dismantle and Cleave arent just slashing techniques, they are a philosophy in battle. While other sorcerers rely on complex setups, restrictions, or even domain expansions to optimize their attacks, Sukunas methods boil down to pure, unstoppable destruction. It is the perfect representation of how Jujutsu Kaisen compares the elemental techniques with the elaborate ones, showing that sometimes the simplest tools can be the most effective.

Warning: Contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen's final arc.By the time 2024 rolled around, it was fairly obvious that Jujutsu Kaisen would end soon, and sure enough, it finally concluded with chapter #271 on September 29. Jujutsu Kaisen has dominated both anime and manga for the past six years to become an icon of modern anime culture, and while its final arc wasnt perfect, it still managed to end on a largely high note.

In Jujutsu Kaisens final arc, with Gojo finally out of the Prison Realm, things seemed to be looking up for the heroes, but that all changed when Gojo was killed in his fight with Sukuna. Kenjaku then gave Sukuna the authority to start the Merger before his death at Yutas hands, and from there, Jujutsu Kaisens final arc became a battle royale between Yuji and his friends and Sukuna in his incarnated form. The final battle was filled...

The new Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Player's Handbook features a new kind of ability available to martial characters: weapon mastery. This ability is available to the barbarian, fighter, paladin, ranger, and rogue classes at first level, and gives those classes additional ways to use their weapons. This gives martial characters a bit more utility on the battlefield, ideally helping to balance their power with spellcasters, as well as encourgaing them to try out different weapons.

Every weapon type in the game has one of eight weapon mastery moves tied to it, all of which can be used each round when characters take the Attack action. From slowing enemies down to knocking them over to making future attacks more likely to hit, these new powers can be quite strong. But players looking to make a martial character may be wondering which of these weapon mastery moves is the most powerful, or offers the most utility.

Yuta Okkotsu may face death after being sliced by Sukuna's World Cutting Slash. Yuta was presented as the strongest sorcerer after Gojo's death, but his plan to separate Sukuna and Fushiguro's souls failed. Yuta could potentially use his Reverse Cursed Energy technique to heal from Sukuna's deadly blow, but considering that Gojo died in the same way, it seems unlikely.

Warning: Spoilers for chapter #251 of Jujutsu KaisenJujutsu Kaisen has revealed a shocking detail that could spell the upcoming death of beloved hero, Yuta Okkotsu. When Yuta duplicated Sukuna's "Cleave" technique and used it against the villain, he seemed to be slowly gaining the upper hand over the King of Curses. However, Sukuna's use of his World Cutting Slash ability against Yuta likely means that the current strongest sorcerer will fall in the same way as his master, Gojo.

Sukuna and Yuta's battle has been quite lengthy and complex, with...

Jujutsu Kaisen is currently experiencing its pinnacle moments in the manga. Gege Akutami’s series is currently witnessing indefinite amounts of twists one chapter after another. The only thing standing in the way of victory for Yuji and Yuta after Kenjaku’s death is Sukuna, and he is not going down lightly.

Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori

In Chapter 251, Sukuna also begins to completely turn the situation around on Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji, inflicting catastrophic damage on Yuta, the consequences of which remain unclear.

However, Yuta talking about Sukuna’s finger is the one thing that has captured the interest of the viewers. The recent...
