Spoiler JJK Chapter 269 Spoilers
- Thread starter Alexis2282AE
- Start date
I've never seen someone speedrun fumbling a potentially multibillion franchise just as it entered its prime.
It's a complete rushjob and it shows.
Maybe Gege just didn't like living with that sort of pressure, maybe this is what he genuinely planned on all along (it's not impossible), but whatever his reasons, he done fucked up.
What a regrettable lapse in judgment and quality.

Yeah it’s bad and the decline was crazy
But the série will also be remembered « positively » with Gojo vs Sukuna fight and how hyped it was
I think JJK will have that as legacy but ouside of that nothing will be remembered much in 10/20y
and if the anime doesn’t fuck up Gojo vs Sukuna can be even more a banger

I don't blame them. It's hard, back-breaking, health-ruining work with obscene hours. It's only worse when you're more successful because, the workload simply outpaces the additional assistants and resources.
That fight was entertaining and I'm sure the anime will deliver, but I think everything after it just being so disatissfying will poison the well for discourse.
That's the one silver lining I see in this is that the critique will be levied at Gege moreso than manga, meaning, people will look at JJK's flaws and not hate the manga for it but resent Gege.
imo, the dude fucked up BAD, and I wonder how this will impact his relationships going forward. If he doesn't have another mega hit in him, or several smaller scale but sustainable successes that are still worthwhile, I can see him finding himself standing in some cold rooms.
You never fuck with the money without consequence.

Many of the decently successful don't even need to go out weekly I think. Look at Togashi, Murata, Itagaki, idk. They just lose their enthusiasm because they have made it anyway, some people are happy with the millions they have made and any effort they have to make to get more is seen as a waste. In a way, it's not wrong either.
It's wild to me how people think about artists whose work they don't even pay for. 2/3 manga you mentioned have known health problems, and I only say 2/3 because I don't know enough about Itagaki.
Togashi can't physically sit up right anymore without pain and has to draw lying on his back, but you think the guy is just lazy and resting on his laurels.
Murata has undisclosed health conditions (speculated to be gut or autoimmune related) and has spoken about his poor mental health and how both have have contributed to making life difficult for his family.
It's obscenely entitled behaviour to think of these individuals as lazy or unmotivated. Rethink this position.

When I shit on Gege for example I shit on his poor storytelling choices. Any and every break he took was welcomed and no reason to complain when the industry standards have been known to us for years now
So will the glazing finally end and we can all admit that Jujutsu Kaisen is worse than My Hero and Chainsaw Man? I'm surprised the one thing it had going for it was the fights and high stakes and within the past 3 chapters you have Nobara screwing up Sukuna's chances in just one chapter, Uraume being offscreened, Yuta/Higurama/Nobara being Disney-tier saved, etc.
Like...wow. It's like the first half of the manga feels like a completely different type of series.

Nobara and Yuta being fine was foreshadowed. Nobara status was kept vague and Arata gave her a chance of survival. With Yuta Gege kept showing us Rika holding onto his body so people speculated that she was going to do something to save him
Higuruma is a legit head scratcher. He’s a cool character but he served his purpose and had a pretty cool last hurrah before he “died”. There’s no point in bringing him back aside from fan service

The foreshadowing part is correct, don't get me wrong I love Nobara. She's one of my favorites, My problem was with how Gege never told us (the readers, not Yuji/Megumi) that she was fine for an entire half of the story. Her coming back at the end felt like a Transformers/Fast and Furious tier movie climax. And then, boom, she ends Sukuna's chances within a chapter. Like....what? It was a lose/lose situation for Gege honestly to bring her back or not.
Yeah Sukuna's body bag is now just Gojo, Kashimo, and Choso for Shinjuku, right?
