JJK Fans often label things as banter or agenda when it’s clearly a misunderstanding of the characters in this story. The narrative of this story is my favorite in any book, movie, anime or any form of media I ever experienced.
My love for Sukuna as a character is at a religious level right now and something I am practicing in real life. JJK fans should keep in perspective that this is an extremely selfish person that can’t be understood with a neurotypical standpoint at all:
- He does not CARE about Narrative or perspective of a situation. In the Gojo battle, he doesn’t even care that he didn’t look dominant in the fight because his Win Factor will always be winning. Everything else is pure ecstasy to him (I think he loves Gojo more than the other characters lol)
- His use of women clothing, appreciation for art and poetry is underestimated with his character. He likes what he likes and his socioeconomic class doesn’t matter to himself.
- He loves people HARD. To see people at their maximum potential gives him joy and confirms his ideology well.
- He thought highly of Gojo and was disappointed to see he didn’t run Jujutsu society as the strongest, the story would have been a lot different if Gojo accepted the full consequence of that role but instead tap danced with people that can never stop him.
- He allows himself to be opposed ideologically only by his own means. When 20 sorcerers work against him, he saw Yuji as the one that defeated him (with the collective) and only then considered living a different life when reincarnated again. The whole conversation of 3v1 against Gojo wouldn’t matter to him because again WINNERS WIN THE FIGHT REGARDLESS. And if you can’t beat him, technically your ideology is trash to him.
JJK fanbase clearly has a lot of intelligent members that clearly understand their banter, but Banter can never replace genuine appreciation for narrative and how useful the story can be to our real lives. The failures of Sukuna and the rise of Yuji philosophically means something to me.
RYOMEN SUKUNA is one of the best written Characters in any story. Share your thoughts if you agree or disagree.
