Gege Akutami belives that Yuji makes the supernatural shonen series 'bland' and that's a good thing.
Jujutsu Kaisen has become a juggernaut in the anime world, selling millions of manga volumes and becoming a hit on both the small and silver screen. The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen put Yuji Itadori and his friends through the wringer as they found themselves trying to survive the Shibuya Incident Arc.
Yuji Itadori has several elements in common with other shonen protagonists, including the likes of Naruto Uzumaki and Ichigo Kurosaki. The Naruto and Bleach stars both have struggled with their own unique inner demons, but Yuji's might just be the most nefarious of them all. Sukuna, the king of curses, hasn't just been the dark half of Yuji, he has been one of the biggest villains of the series and is considered to be the"Big Bad" of Jujutsu Tech.
Gege Akutami's"Bland" Main CharacterIn a new interview as a part of the opening of the Jujutsu Kaisen Exhibit in Japan, creator Gege Akutami took the chance to explain why he decided to create Yuji Itadori and how the protagonist works in the realm of the shonen series,"Itadori's versatility is in the sense that he's easy to fit into shounen-type stories, but this can also make the stories a bit bland.
Akutami then described how he wanted Yuji Itadori to be a 'universal character',"My idea was to use other characters to pave a defined path and portray a universal protagonist. I wanted Itadori to be a flexible character." Jujutsu Kaisen is already confirmed for a third season, which will see Yuji Itadori struggling with the arrival of the Culling Games. Now that countless cursed energy users have awoken thanks to Suguru Geto's machinations, Yuji and the world are going to sail some rough seas ahead.Want to see what the future holds for Yuji Itadori?
