Eh I've come to terms with the fact that if the author couldn't have bothered with the series then why should I care about what ifs?

He shat in his own plate and should probably look for another pen name for his next manga.

Idk how accurate this is and I've not gotten into the series yet but after seeing all the memes and outrage from fans, idk if I should too lol. I've been spoiled on a LOT of stuff and that was before I did what I just did anyway too LMAO. But I'd still like to check it out if it's worth it but from what I've been hearing about it and CSM, it's not worth getting into then?

I asked ChatGPT to summarise what happened with the series as a funny, snarky Honest Trailer type thing so idk how truly accurate this is but I was laughing my fucking ass so much and I thought you guys might like it too hopefully?:


🎥 Honest Trailer: Jujutsu Kaisen – The Series That Beat You To Death With Your Own Feelings (Then Killed Your Favorite Character Just Because)



From the blood-soaked brain of Gege Akutami, the mangaka who treats hope like it owes him money, comes a story that started off as “Naruto but with curses,” then slowly evolved into:


✨ “What if Hunter x Hunter, Tokyo Ghoul, and Evangelion had a baby—and then that baby kicked you in the teeth?” ✨​

Welcome to:

👹 JUJUTSU KAISEN 👹

“Everyone Dies, and the Plot Does Too”



You followed Yuji Itadori, a loveable himbo with the moral compass of a golden retriever…


…only to realize you’re not actually watching his story.


You’re watching:


  • The Gojo story.
  • Then the Geto story.
  • Then Nanami's postmortem depression log.
  • Then a 300-chapter thesis on suffering, fate, and why Gege hates joy.

🧑‍🏫 STARTS OFF STRONG:

  • Cursed spirits!
  • Sick fights!
  • A squad of loveable weirdos (Megumi, Nobara, Gojo).
  • Sukuna, the demon king with main character energy, sitting inside Yuji like a bored roommate waiting to start a boss fight.

But then…


💀 THE DEATH SPIRAL BEGINS

“Oh you liked that character?”​
“They’re dead now.”​

  • Gojo? Sealed for 100+ chapters.
  • Nobara? Off-screened, possibly dead, no closure.
  • Nanami? Dies monologuing with half his torso gone.
  • Choso? Gets the best redemption arc no one saw coming, then fades into the void.
  • Yuta? Turns up in the final arc like he’s on a side quest in Elden Ring.
  • And Megumi? Oh… buddy. Megumi gets cooked.

Literally.


🥩 THE FINAL ARC: “SHINJUKU SLAUGHTERFEST”

Let’s talk about that ending. The last arc says:


“What if the villain just won?”​
“What if our protagonist gets his body stolen permanently?”​
“What if we undo every emotional payoff we spent 3 years building up in 3 chapters?”​

You thought:


  • There would be a Gojo vs Sukuna final boss fight.
  • Yuji would master Sukuna's power.
  • They’d save Megumi.
  • The side characters would come together.
  • There’d be some kind of resolution.

Nope.


Instead you get:


  • Gojo getting sliced in half mid-sentence by off-screen power scaling.
  • Megumi mentally destroyed and used as Sukuna’s meatsuit.
  • Yuji becoming the main character again… like 150 chapters too late.
  • An ending that feels like Gege pressed CTRL+X on the plot and just let the trauma speak.

🧠 WHAT EVEN HAPPENED, BRO?

  • Sukuna hijacks the series.
  • Nobody’s motivations make sense anymore.
  • The power system becomes “whatever Gege makes up in the margins of the manuscript at 3am.”
  • The pacing? On meth.
  • And characters you haven’t seen in 200 chapters show up just to die in stylish ways.

🤔 THE THEMES™?

  • Fate is suffering.
  • There are no heroes.
  • Power corrupts.
  • Trauma is inevitable.
  • Women? Who?

But also:


  • Punching harder might still work.
  • Sukuna is sexy and also war crimes.
  • Gojo's trauma is everyone's problem now.
  • You can’t outwrite death.

STARRING:

  • Yuji “Wait, This Is Still My Story?” Itadori
  • Megumi “My Life Is A Curse” Fushiguro
  • Gojo “Walking Peak With Plot Armor Expiry Date” Satoru
  • Sukuna “Most Toxic Man Alive” Ryomen
  • Nobara “Where The Hell Did I Go?” Kugisaki
  • Gege “I Hate My Characters” Akutami
  • And the never-ending feeling of:

“WHY DID I READ THIS???”​

📢 HONEST TRAILER TITLE OPTIONS:

  • Jujutsu Kaisen: Friendship is Pain
  • JJK: Just Jumpscare Kills
  • Gojo’s Bizarre Death Adventure
  • The Rise and Fall of Megumi Fushiguro’s Sanity
  • Chainsaw Man’s More Depressed Cousin

FINAL THOUGHTS:

If you're new to JJK and thinking “maybe I should give this a shot”—just know:


  • It's beautifully drawn.
  • The fight choreography is god-tier.
  • The lore is dense and cool.
  • But it will break you.
  • And the ending? Is like falling down a flight of stairs made of knives while Gege laughs from the top going,

“This was always the plan 😈”​


🔪 JUJUTSU KAISEN 🔪
"Peak Fiction… with a body count."


Now who’s ready to rewatch Season 1 and pretend everything was fine?

Just Jumpscare Kills made me laugh so fucking hard too. Along with these:

  • Jujutsu Kaisen: Friendship is Pain
  • JJK: Just Jumpscare Kills
  • Gojo’s Bizarre Death Adventure
  • The Rise and Fall of Megumi Fushiguro’s Sanity
  • Chainsaw Man’s More Depressed Cousin

  • And the ending? Is like falling down a flight of stairs made of knives while Gege laughs from the top going,
“This was always the plan 😈”​

Kuina reference?! /s

:risitameh::saden::shame::risiflip::perocry::jinbewat:

Maybe binging it from start to finish with fresh eyes would make it semi-enjoyable so I don't want to discourage you from trying it. The first half is very good, especially the Geto and Gojo flashback. But the second half is where it starts falling off slightly and then snowballing into whatever the last stretch was.

Aye that seems to be the case with CSM too from what I've heard, Part 1 is where it's all good at least but it goes downhill from there after it. Sounds like some other series too lol.

I am really curious to try JJK with some of the stuff I've seen in it, I watched the 1st episode ages ago but the finger eating put me off lmao.

Some of the characters and power system intrigue me and I really wanna see it for a certain Todo goat too lololol.
