In the popular manga Jujutsu Kaisen, many people mistakenly think Gojo Satoru is the main character. Actually, Itadori Yuji - Gojo's student is the real main character. Although his contribution in the movie is considered to be lackluster and not so outstanding that it makes viewers mistakenly recognize the main character, that is also what makes Yuji more special.
Itadori Yuji is not the most popular character in Jujutsu Kaisen
Normally, the main character is always the center of attention and receives the love of many fans, of course Jujutsu Kaisen is not in that group. Other characters like Gojo, Megumi or even Nanami are much more popular than Itadori Yuji.

There are many important, dramatic battles in the Return of War Spell without Yuji present, such as the life-and-death match between Toji vs Gojo or the match between Uncle Sukuna vs Gojo. Itadori Yuji's existence became even more blurred in the eyes of fans when Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 debuted. This part of the film only delves into the past of Gojo and Geto when they were both studying at the Magic College, as well as explaining the completely opposite ideals of the two people who were once close friends. Yuji barely appeared in the first half of JJK ss2.
Many fans said they really didn't understand what author Akutami Gege meant when the movie focused more on "supporting characters" like Gojo Satoru instead of Yuji. But if you pay attention you will probably realize that Yuji's importance has been made clear, even though he doesn't explicitly impact the plot or fight in the foreground, the important plot points are still important in the end. always leads back to Itadori Yuji.
Yuji gradually asserts his role as the main character
In later volumes and chapters, Yuji begins to take on more responsibilities. For example, he was able to defeat the nearly invincible Spirit, Mahito. It was this villain who defeated Itadori Yuji's classmate and good friend, Nobara Kugisaki. A level 1 spellcaster like Nanami Kento couldn't even compete with Mahito, but Yuji could. This event is also the clearest proof of Yuji's strength and potential.
In particular, unlike Gojo Satoru who possesses a huge source of magical power, Itadori Yuji develops in the direction of becoming better the more he fights. From a boy who didn't know anything about magic power in the beginning, Yuji has now mastered using magic power on his fists to be able to cause the greatest damage to his opponent.
This journey is especially inspiring for viewers because Yuji comes from an ordinary high school student. To be able to become an extraordinary spellcaster with almost no foundation, and having to face countless special level spells, Yuji has proven his efforts through continuous growth. after each match. Even if other characters are more appreciated by the fan community or have more screen time, no one can deny Itadori Yuji's impact on this series.
In a recent manga chapter, even Uncle King Sukuna, who possesses ultimate power, commented that talent and perseverance are hard to break. Now, Itadori is finally in his rightful place, the protagonist of the series and the Spellcaster capable of defeating Sukuna.
By allowing him to gradually develop into a respectable hero instead of possessing absolute power from the start, Itadori Yuji becomes closer to fans. After this analysis, Hobiverse hopes that you will clearly understand the role of main character Yuji throughout the series. Although he is constantly developing, one thing we can be sure of is that he is still not as strong as his teacher - Gojo Satoru. Gojo himself was also defeated by Sukuna, so will a young Yuji like him be enough to destroy the Uncle King? Let's join Hobiverse to watch the next developments of the series!
