Summary

Many fans have been disappoint with some ofJujutsu Kaisen ’s latest death , but none can equate to the one that should have been the serial ' coolest , but instead was its most disappointing . serial publication author Gege Akutami has never been afraid of killing off his characters , but commonly their expiry are emotionally resounding or dish some greater use in the account . Yuki Tsukumo ’s deathcould have easily been this way as well , but unfortunately , it was the contrary .

In chapter # 208 , Yuki ’s scrap with Kenjaku make out to an remnant in a spectacular mode . Already on the brink of death from a annihilating wound Kenjaku inflicted on her before , Yuki decides to give herself to take the evil necromancer down . She grabs onto him and then use her damn technique to increase her muckle to such magnitudes that she becomes a black hole , annihilate everything around her .

While this is visually very telling , itultimately is surprisingly ineffective as Kenjakujust uses his antigravity technique to nullify the black hole ’s effects . This arrive at Yuki ’s sacrifice finally pointless , which is a shame asshe was reprehensively underutilizedfor how potentially coolheaded she could have been .

After establishing the strength of its top fighters , Jujutsu Kaisen finally break the abilities of its last Special Grade Sorcerers Yuki Tsukumo .

Yuki’s Death Was Ruined by How Pointless It Was

Jujutsu Kaisencreated by Gege Akutami, chapter #208 “Stars and Oil, Part 4”

Yuki Tsukumo was one of the few sorcerers inJujutsu Kaisento gain the social station of Special Grade , which intend that she is potent enough to single - handedly overthrow a country . She also had confining ties to various other characters in the series , being Gojo and Geto ’s acquaintance as well as being Todo ’s mentor .

Yuki ’s cursed proficiency , which was only reveal a few chapters before her death , was also incredibly cool , enabling her to manipulate the mass of both herself and her unredeemed tool Garuda . All this coupled with her extreme personality madeYuki have the potential to be one ofJujutsu Kaisen’sbest characters , but her pointless death consume that .

HasJujutsu KaisenImproved In Depicting Deaths?

The most controversial late death in the series isGojo ’s dying at the hand of Sukuna , which many fans found disappointing . However , the fight leading up to that death was incredibly hearty and while the outcome may have been a jar , it was also based on techniques devotee already knew Sukuna had access to .

Fighting Gojo also take a real toll on Sukuna , which has impress him for the rest of the combat . These cistron make Gojo ’s decease much better than Yuki ’s unfortunate final stage and is hopefully a sign that Gege has learned from their retiring mistakes ahead of the many deaths that will probably occur before Sukuna is defeated .

Which Death Did Jujutsu Kaisen Handle the Best?

So far , the most impactful death in the series has to be that of Mai Zenin . Despite their seemingly labored relationship in the series thus far , Mai end up give herself for Maki , taking the little Cursed Energy they share as similitude with her as she dies , whichallowsMaki to finally realize the full potential of her Heavenly Restriction .

Mai also leaves Maki with a replica of the Split Soul katana originally wielded by Toji Fushiguro as her very last construction , asking Maki to " destroy everything " with her last words . This push Maki to wipe out the Zenin Clan that single out and abuse them their intact lives , starting with their father , who saw them as a grime on his report .

Mai ’s death serves an crucial narrative theatrical role in the news report , allowing Maki ’s quality arc to build up while still being a meet end to Mai ’s . Not only does her expiry add much - needed complexity to Maki ’s character and her motivations , but it also has interesting entailment for the relationship between Cursed Energy and the soul , which has been debated time and time again inJujutsu Kaisen .

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Yuki infront of a black hole that’s destroying a neighborhood.

More than just a random disaster or a plot move to remove a narratively tricky character like has happened a smattering of clip inJujutsu Kaisen , Mai ’s dying shows the serial publication can give character meet and poetic final stage that feel narratively cheering while still being grievous . All of this is in line to Yuki ’s unfortunate dying . Not every death has to be nerveless or particularly abstruse , but they should , at lower limit , feel impactful and measured .

While Jujutsu Kaisen has no qualms about kill off popular characters , one character ’s surprising death is necessary for the manga finis .

Overall , one unspoiled matter about Yuki ’s decease is that itshows how incredibly hefty Kenjaku is inJujutsu Kaisenwhile eliminating a possible threat to him . But as the end of Hakari ’s fight with Kashimo show , a character reference does n’t need to die to trim down their power storey . Hopefully , Jujutsu Kaisenwill take its remain powerful characters in more interesting directions as the serial nears its closing and ward off any more flashy but at last pointless expiry .
