    I think more Gege always wanted Yuta to be his main character, his editor was the main reason it was changed, which is why a lot of the moments that Yuji should’ve shined he got help or spotlight was given to another character like Gojo or Sukuna. Sukuna was close the character he wanted to the mix of Yuta and Rika to originally be, which is why Yuji feels like a bit of a side character.

      yeah Idk where I heard it from or if its real. but I heard that it said that gege hated yuji's character archetype(the go-lucky) and yuta was his favorite. and then it all starts clicking in place. I mean I get the idea of"what if everything went wrong instead of right" for this MC. and its fresh gives it an almost durara vibe where everyone gets their shine. but won't let his MC get his. even getting moments robbed from him for "sudden appearances" and its funny how often it happens.

      @ I think you’re referring to an actual official interview where Gege admitted that Yuta was his ideal main character, and that he wanted Rika to basically be Sukuna where she influenced Yuta to be evil when she was manifested. And that Yuji only came about because he was forced to rewrite because of his editor and shounen jump wanting a more happy-go-lucky character like Yuji which he admitted he isn’t a fan of. So he wanted other characters to shine and have a lot of time instead to Gojo and Sukuna which were basically his ideal main characters if he couldn’t have Yuta as the main character in his original vision.

      @@n3xus593 wow. Can't believe it's real. His ideal MC is a shinji archetype. But if uses for a story like jjk perspective he is but if he means in general then wow. And makes sense too with his editor. It was supposed to be a duo but had to add nobara. And he is such a a liar, (never watched Naruto?) But gojo first appearance(design white hair, blind fold and design of hair, being late) and says some bs that a random instructor from the chunin exam was the inspiration.

    I like how people are such hypocrites. People want side characters to shine more, but if the Mc gets less screen time, it’s bad writing for the mc. You can never make people happy. Yuji has enough screen time and shines enough. All you shonen and manwha readers think a mc only shines if he beats up the main bad Guy every arc.

      @@ConstantinDOSSOU-vy1zo naw theres' more like vagabond. vinland saga, but even these would have complaints like when beserk went from gimdark fantasy to rpg or people called vinland saga when the MC stopped being angry they say it fell off. there's always something and usually not reading the context just wanting more of the same.

    So the signature ability of the main character.....is to generate a delayed stronger hit after the initial weaker hit?
    Basically splitting the full potential of the punch into 2 weaker punches?
    That is dumb. That is really dumb.

    I don’t think gege hates yuji like yall think he does, idk i like yuji because he’s not this perfect main character that would just overpower people, he doesn’t get special treatment. I like that he’s struggles and learns from it, bro literally went through 3 different characters development throughout the story. Imma have to disagree but I do understand where you coming from and how you feel.
