- Today we are talking about how actually, everything is the point. There are no bad things in fiction obviously. Let's talk about how important execution is to making a story, and lets use Jujutsu Kaisen as a prime example.

The threat of death in a story is like the sword of Damocles. If the sword never falls, the audience loses interest in the characters because there's no fun in watching a character who isn't in danger of failing in some way (whether its death or some other consequence). If the sword falls too often though, the audience becomes desensitised. They no longer react in the way that the author wants them to, they don't feel the pain and loss of watching a beloved character die because they've already seen it happen too many times. The audience essentially gives up on the characters, becoming convinced that they're gonna die anyway so there isn't much point forming a connection with them.
To use the threat of death effectively, the author must make the audience aware of the sword and the danger it poses, but only use it a point where it's effects are most powerful. Think of the end of season 1 of Game of Thrones, when Ned is executed. That moment is so powerful because we spend the season getting to know Ned, see how he's a flawed but good man, a man of honour who sadly lived in a time and place where honour was a weakness. It's such a powerful scene because it not only tears away a beloved character but has massive ripple effects on the story and tells the audience that nobody is safe. Despite that, they didn't kill characters too quickly so the audience still had the chance to form a connection with those characters.
Take notes Gege. Please?
It's strange that despite how important the execution of an idea is to a story, it often gets overlooked or dismissed. I believe that almost any idea can be good if excecuted well. But the opposite is also true. If an idea is executed badly, then it is bad. It's astonishing how many times I have had to explain this when talking about media with friends, family or people online.
I think you broke Spy x Family for me.
You're absolutely correct on Jujutsu Kaisen and it doesn't help that they barely even talk to each other outside of plot points.
Gege has a chance to make characters interact and talk outside of combat in 1 month leading to Gojo vs Sukuna, but the guy choose to just skip it entirely.
Idea vs Execution is like baking a cake. You could give me the best damn recipe for chocolate cake in the whole world, but it doesn't mean shit if I mess up the actual baking of the cake.
Surely Olivia will strive to execute this romcom as well-thought-out as possible to ensure high quality content.. right?
I believe in her
My problem with JJK is that it's like too fast pace
Like we should have had more slice of life moments and see stuff from a normal day to life of the characters without any cursed spirt fighting or training
Like slice of life moments were we have the characters become more fleshed out helps actually be emotionally invested in them, when they win, when they fail, when they stand their ground to protect others, even when they kiss the person they love
Yup. People seem to praise JJK for how fast paced it is, because it 'doesn't have any filler' or whatever, but this vendeta that people online seem to have against 'filler' has always just seemed.. strange to me. Like, yeah, I guess plot is happening... but do you even care enough about the world and characters to care about said plot? I'm thinking not.. because if you did, you would be okay with sitting a few quieter eps with them, instead of just bulldozing through the story as fast as you can. People are so impatient these days. We need the slower eps, because if you have no 'base' to base our characters off of, nothing to contrast the plot stuff to, then things can quickly begin to feel one dimensional and shallow.
I've compared Jujutsu Kaisen's storytelling and pacing to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and even then it's not as good.
But getting straight to the point is what pretty much put JJK on the map though. Even with all that issue, Gege writing his story in a battle royale-esque setting is what gets readers back to it and anticipate every new chapters that come. JJK leaks are legit ritualistic because of that.
I feel like Gege outlines ideas/characters traits/character dynamics, never explores them fully and instead just let's the audience use their imagination to fill in the gaps for him, while he focuses on fight choreography and all the ins and outs of jjk's power system.
Hundred. His videos make Jujutsu Kaisen seem more interesting than it's willing to portray.
He just shows character dynamics in the current situation they're in and treats his characters as chess pieces which I think is pretty nice. He doesn't dilly dally and gets straight to the point.
@epicotakugamer4930 as much as i think all the cool fights make for a hype weekly reading experience, meaningful character interactions still need to be shown if you wanna tell a good story. Building character relationships is not "dilly dallying" 😭
@@bzkill I'm saying that the "meaningful" character interactions are noticed in between the lines. How they think in a situation, the choices they pick, their small inner monologues, or just what they say is enough for the story Gege is writing. It's why there's a lot to unpack when it comes to picking either a character or an arc in JJK apart and it's not just headcanon considering that Gege's storytelling is influenced by Kubo when it comes to leaving breadcrumbs for the readers to figure out.
i wonder how many anime you actually watch, or, perhaps you only watch action anime? yeah?@@epicotakugamer4930
You LITERALLY voiced my thoughts exactly. JJK still has awesome fight scenes but anyone saying death or characters matter in this show is bugging out. Most of the cast barely has interaction beyond a surface level. Most of the ppl I feel like that wasn’t the case are dead or out of commission by other means (sorta dead(?), can’t fight anymore - which will mean no longer existing based on this show’s trajectory so far, etc.). So many people die that even the villain deaths start to lose the satisfaction a bit. If the villain’s goal is to kill every single person the MC cares about, and they actually succeed in killing several of them, no amount of pain is going to feel like the MC gained anything. It’s almost pointless. I even had to break down for some ppl that as little death happens in Naruto, it’s well over 10 times more impactful than in JJK. Neji died in the most pointless way but despite that, most Naruto fans still felt the impact. When JJK kills, the reaction is overall “No one’s safe! It is what it is.” When characters died in Naruto, the reaction is genuine shock and often grief. Put it this way, almost every Naruto fan will tell you Jiraiya either made them cry or got them close to it. No death in JJK has gotten close to that. AoT kills so many people and even still - because of how they do it, people feel the impact. Just having the balls to kill a character suddenly is not how you write an impactful death - especially not for the long game of a complete story
6:00 tbh, I agree with this statement. But JJK could’ve easily avoided this if 1. Gege paced character development better, and 2. Introduced, or fleshed our characters better before their inevitable deaths.
Yuki and Nobara are two big examples and two of my biggest fucking letdowns in the story and narrative, due to nobara being fleshing out after/during death; and yuki being hyped before being slaughter by Kenjaku. Sure I get that it was a clash of ideologies (both times.) and it was used as weight against the people that survived the conflict, being yuji and choso. But it just feels like fucking sacking a Pokémon in a nuzlocke due to how little we really knew of the characters.
HP, and CSM does this better, due to adding emphasis on each chr, and when they do die, it’s weighty on both us, and the in-world chr (unless it’s the end of HP, that was kinda shit.) like Aki’s death, and the weight it has on both us, the audiences and the in-universe people, denji and Power, who were grieving afterwards.
You know what really bugs me? Fans of JJK, and anime fans in general, will be like: “poor Juri, he loses everyone around him”, instead of “poor X who actually died”, it’s as if they view every character other than the protagonist as nothing but a plot progression/ character development tool for the protagonist.
People watch anime because they invest emotionally into specific characters that may not be (and most of the times ain’t) the protagonist. So when you remove them entirely and too soon, with no real goal other than for the sake of doing it, then what’s the point?
Similar thing I originally felt with Re:Zero regarding Rem. She was benched way too early imo. And more fans were saying “poor Subaru” rather than “poor Rem”. But at least Tappei handled the matter better than the author of JJK, he actually had a goal in mind for the character’s return. I just hope the payoff is worth it…
But seriously, I was spoiled on so many of JJK deaths, not just from the anime, but the manga… and it’s not worth it to invest my time at all.
This is something that I like in One Piece, the death of a character has importance, the character don't sundenly die without you know then and even the characters that you know that are already dead, you get to know him and the importance of him to the narrative.
But sometimes oda fucks it up by doing fakeouts... Cough cough pell and kinemon.
I have been thinking about how different JJK would have been if it was a light novel. It seems that light novels can cram in much more stuff than manga's like longer arks and more character interactions. Imagine if the shibuya incident was in light novel format and had like 1 or 2 major arks prior that were just focused to building up the shibuya ark.
Something like that can't really happen in jjk because Gojo exist
@theanimerapper6351 that's prolly why gege hates gojo so much because if he did that then those arcs would fall flat because of his presence
And lol you’re kinda right about Spy x Family but I still love it. It’s a show I consume for the lightheartedness of it. It does what I love it for excellently, so I’m not bothered by the romance trope/plot being kinda cheesy in execution. Imho most romcoms are cheesy anyways - I had assumed that was the appeal, even if I don’t like it usually
You're so right about this one. Currently, characters in JJK are dying or getting killed left, right, and center for apparent no reason. And because of that, I stopped caring about those characters or the story overall in general. Like I get connected with these characters while reading the chapters and the next thing I know they're all dead. People say JJK is peak cause unlike MHA or its other contemporary manga, JJK has the balls to kill off characters but people don't understand that just because you kill off characters doesn't mean your story becomes automatically better than the others.
I grew so much attached to some of my OC's that i genuinely can't kill em off despite the story being structured in a way to make that happen.
I really do hate the idea that characters dying makes a story better inherently. Any time a character dies people praise how bold it is, even tho sometimes a characters death can be really counterintuitive to what the story is about
This also comes from the fact that the deaths aren't even used effectively. AOT had a side character die early on that STILL gets brought up near the very end and has importance to the cast, yet a main cast death for JJK gets mentioned... I THINK maybe twice, maybe, and to top it all off the most recent example has importance for a single page or so then is immediately tossed out and never utilized again. (if you know you know)
People call jjk “dark” and while it is in some aspects, killing off the cast without any of the characters actually being relevant or fleshed out, does it even matter?
Although MHA has this bizarre hesitation to kill characters (Damn it, Gran Torino), it at least develops some of its characters to varying degrees unlike JK which will push 'em into irrelevance (the Tokyo 2nd years & the Kyoto students) or kill 'em just when we were startin' to like 'em (Toji & Yuki).
I want a retrial for Jujutsu Kaisen starting at 0.
Something I also don't like in JJK is that there are so many characters introduced in each arc, and as the show can't democratize time for all of them, they just become death fodder, which makes me care less for their in-series and out-series assasination.
SPOILERS:
Mechamaru is one example, because the tournament arc was already working with SO MANY characters, I don't care about Mechamaru, so the plot of him being a traitor means nothing for me. And even LESS when that plot gets dropped immediately as he fights the ones he was helping for then dying.
And they even revive him as an AI? Now the Itadori vs Choso fight loses weight because Itadori didn't figure out the opponent's strategy, but a character I don't care about and should be dead gave him the info.
Same with Maki, they really develop her surface on the tournament arc and movie, yet it's only needed two episodes for Touji to completely outclass her and take the spotlight and character role from her, nullifying what makes her special and makes me care less for her.
One is a direct killing that didn't matter at all, and one is a Rock Lee-esque character assasination. All because JJK wants to spam its roster of characters that end up being nobodies or make the already existing characters feel as such.
Great video 🎉
This really remind me of season two of an indie series called Hellva Boss. Basically the set up when it comes to characters, themes, and plot points are set up decently but the execution is bad. For example the whole Stolas cheating on Stella plot point. Season 1 had a little moral ambiguities. As Stolas cheated on Stella and Stella put a hit man on him. There was a chance to explain Stella side of the situation but nope the writers just made her into a mega bitch that abuses Stolas. This feel lazy since she just become a one dimensional villain that is terrible written as a villain because she becomes an incompetent brat.
Another example is when Fizzy and Blizto hated each other due to Bizto causing a fire that made Fizzy losses his arms and I think his legs also. As Fizzy hated Blizto for 15 years for not helping him. But turns out it was due to someone making it where they can’t see each other and due to communication issues that isn’t no one faults. And now they are friends after an half of an episode. And lastly a villain that the fandom loves was Striker who was this calm collective villain that had a great and understandable motivation for the reason he was a villain. But nope the writers just turned him into an incompetent egotistical villain that loses over and over again.
Basically season 2 has great set up for plot points but the execution is terrible and the defenses for it is just annoying.
Vivziepop’s humor makes that show unwatchable
@@jonathanjoestar6174
100 agree
Nothing more tragic than a story having fire concepts, themes and characters only to fumble when it comes to executing the ideas
JJK Spoilers:
This has been my main issue with JJK since the Shibuya arc. While I still think the Shibuya arc is a good arc that I'd give a 7 out of 10, it's an extremely overrated arc that loves to kill off characters who either turn into a plot device or just die for the sake of dying with the following arcs being worse. Relevant and irrelevant characters such as Mechamaru, Naobito, Hanami, Dagon, Nobara (if you think she's dead), Mai, Yagi, Yuki, Tsumiki, Ryu, etc who either didn't contribute much to the story or had interesting motives/philosophies that got some of us invested in are just killed off for shock value, giving other characters development (which imo aren't done in a good way with Maki being the best example of this issue) and pushing the plot forward.
This series sacrifices worldbuilding, character interactions, and good writing for cool fights and death scenes. This series is close to becoming Akame ga Kill 2.0 (it might already be) especially if Higuruma actually dies. Attack on Titan despite it's issues presents the idea of death a lot better than Jujutsu Kaisen.
It's weird how this series has been able to execute the idea of death well 8 other times with Junpei, Riko, Toji (both times), Geto (after we’re given his lore in the Hidden Inventory arc), Nanami, Mahito, and Jogo, yet manages to mess it up with everyone else.
Higumura is done
@@theanimerapper6351 Well I guess this series really is Akame Ga kill 2.0. Higuruma is the literal embodiment of an Akame Ga Kill character. Give them a backstory and then kill them off the next time they show up expecting the audience to have an emotional reaction despite spending litttle time with him. Imagine learning Cursed amplification and RCT just to get killed by a plot-armored Sukuna who somehow managed to use his cursed technique despite pleading guilty to his crimes. You gotta love it.
All of the buildup of so many characters just to glaze sukuja even further.
I really agree with all your points and so want you opinion if you dont mind as to what you think of Gojo's death and how its handled.
Heads up im not one of those who dont understand the requirment of gojo's death.@@Jay-ll2qe
(Spoilers ahead) I may disagree with the JJK part. Often times the characters that die do get some sort of closure or revelation even if it is a depressing one.
You may say you were not attached to the characters when they died, but you didn’t need to be. Yuji didn’t know them that well either.
Yuji didn’t know about nobara’s past. Yuji didn’t know about Nanami’s motivations.
The point is that someone’s journey was cut off untimely because of a decision Yuji made in episode 1.
The whole point of the series is that the weak don’t get to choose how they die. Whether you’re attached to a character or not doesn’t matter, because the world of jjk is built on cruelty, with Yuji’s journey to find his place in it at the centre.
Oh my god pls make this a series thank u for this info
I love the "organic chemistry tutor" type lectures, keep it coming
100% onboard with you.
We had 4 deads in the 1st part of this season, all of them are done very good, we understand that character and we understand his/her death and what the consequences this had.
In the 2nd part of the season, we had 5 deaths, and only 1 of them is very questionable. We pass 30 or more eps, and we don't know for sure, that 1 character and her death, isn't well executed. Yes, all of what happened, could still happen, but all that I wanted, is to know the character that the AUTHOR JUDGE WAS IMPORTANT.
Great video as always, Asa!
This is funny cuz o got into a twitter argument about this exact thing like 2 weeks ago. A theme about death and being unfulfilled is fine. Characters die tragically in a lot of stories but make them CHARACTERS, develop them and give us something to cling on to. My problem with Geges writing is that he tries to emulate Togashi and Kubo in the style that he shows futility and death but doesn’t do the work of making them great memorable characters well in advance
When you said "this is fiction", I ACTUALLY CLAPPED! This is the very sentence I've been trying to explain to people for years! Brilliant video!
Ok, this will be fun
Olivia sounds like the type of person to make Emily in Paris
Another AsarathaHS banger as per usual
WRT to JJKs focus on death; I'd say "That's the point" but in a more "It can't be helped" sort of way......
Mob Psycho 100 is the PEAK for me cus of it's pure focus on character growth. Building up your characters makes the crazy actions sequences that much sweeter.
However, I realize that not everyone likes 'yapping'. JJKs focus being boxing, while shallow, is what alot of people only want from Shounen. It is bad execution... but it IS fun I suppose if the fights are good.
CSM is actually a great example of this dynamic. General Shounen Fans love Part 1 cus of the 'crazy action' ........ and absolutely hate Part 2 cus there's little to no action.
Meanwhile, to me Part 1 is a fun shounen ride...... but Part 2 essentially being a slice of life that's focus is entirely building up the characters, I love it.
This topic is also very similar to what makes a "good" character. Every time I criticise a character or say I don't like them, there's always that one smug mother fucker who says "bUT ThaT's tHe pOInT". I don't care if that's the point because the point sucks. I can dislike a character but still appreciate what they add to a story. A good character is one that adds to the story while a bad character takes away from it.
For a recent example, take Valentino from Hazbin Hotel: he's a horrible person who the audience is meant to hate, but I still think he's a good character because he's an effective antagonist who helps to portray the topic of emotional and sexual abuse. In contrast, Mineta is also horrible person but not one I enjoy watching because it's uncomfortable and the story doesn't address his behaviour outside of silly gags that downplay his actions. He doesn't add anything meaningful to the story.
"Something being The Point doesn't change the damage done of The Point fucking sucks"
you made a comment about nobara in one of your streams and i got a little butthurt cuz im a big fan of jjk and thought nobara was cool. But after hearing you out, seeing similar criticism on X, and reading the recent chapters i completely understand how it falls short as a story especially when it comes to death.
2 recent deaths in particular had me feeling a certain way. None of it is enough to make me dislike the story but its definitely noticeable.
Giving a Running Commentary
6:00 - AsarathaHS says characters who die too early become non-characters. I I want to refute that. I think Gege Akutami encourages us to reread to gain a better understanding of the character via the bits of characterization he sprinkles throughout the narrative that you cannot & won’t catch on a 1st watch through. I think he’s vague because he knows a fast paced narrative like his thrives on an active community so he triggers community activity via speculation
Hahaha of course he does 😂😂
Honestly, JJK is not being draged for five years. If sakura could go out the way Nobara did nobody would talk of her like we do. JJK got popular by being a meat grinder.
I like the theme of this video :)
I am an anime only and I started feeling the same when I was watching season 2 I Was like oh they just died like that I was a little sad after thinking about it these characters didn't have that much screen time in season 2. I feel like the more I watch the more I don't care about anyone who dies.
Facts i feel the same way they keep saying oh thats what makes it "great" lol 😂 no the only thing thats great to them is the villains keep winning because they really the only characters that dont truly die in jjk
Reminds me of One Piece. Almost nobody ever dies except a sparse few, so it's extremely frustrating and lacks any tension.
Well, if they do tho, it instantly becomes one of the most iconic moments in the series tho like when Ace dies for example. It’s one of the most iconic moments in fiction or when another fan favourite is going to die soon. I rather have this tiny problem instead of JJk where so many things are lacking and the only “good” thing is people are dying constantly. Which isn’t even good in an on itself, especially not if you handle it like JJK. The only good character deaths were Gojo and Nanami.
3:53 mf really threw spy x family under the bus when rent a gf exists
also when gege kills hakari I am dropping the series
I somewhat agree and disagree, as I think that gege executed his theme quite well in shibuya and Hidden Inventory except for maybe the exception of nobara, whether it be toji or nanami both characters reinforced this theme and it was executed well. The main problem with Nobara dying is that any exploration of her character is paced very badly. I didn't really understand Nobara when she died, and even now that I do, I feel that it was lackluster, we barely get to see her dreams until the flashback episode where she died, and feel that it could have been executed better as I really like the idea gege had. There is also the recent case of Yuki which I also felt was a bit lackluster as again, we barely explored her character at all, maybe gege never intended to explore her character more, but due to him not doing so I couldn't really care about yuki for it to actually reinforce his theme. for me, there are some areas were gege executes this concept extremely well, even in the culling games, but sometimes he forgets to actually set up the groundwork for said death to actually reinforce the theme well.
Also is spyxfamily even considered a romcom? To me first and foremost it's a comedy, so I could give less of a shit about the romance, but I do kinda see your point that the will they/won't they has gone on for some while.
pls talk about Code Geass asp Asa
Wanna ask, what do you think about Chainsaw Man in comparison to JJK?
fan of the p3 music
There is no such thing as a new idea, yet there is always a new time to bring that idea to life that everyone will come to enjoy.
New will always become old. Old will always become new.
The future forever becomes past. The past forever becomes future.
The cycle will forever continue.
WTF the analisis is so good
oo
Kaguya-sama is one of my favorites although it's plain romcom.
Like The Promised Neverland, Jujutsu Kaisen had so much potential that it's painful. It doesn't help that in Jujutsu Kaisen's case, people like Hundred make videos on the series that make it more interesting than it actually portrays.
you said it
Forreal, the amount of videos I’ve come across where they manage to make irrelevant characters more than they actually are is impressive. For example, I came across an analysis video about Naobito of all characters and I said to myself “How the hell did this person manage to make a whole analysis video on such an irrelevant character like Naobito?”
I like seeing the fruits of you being subjected to my insanity in your DMs, but I liked the video just for explaining why sxf left me feeling cold and disinterested.
What has happened in the DMs? 😟
Saw nobara on the thumbnail and and started digging those trenches for you, brother
While I don't agree with you and your opinion with jjk. I can understand why you don't like it
Bro sounds a lot like Penguin0 ngl
lol
Goated video. JJK is ass you should make more videos calling it ass.
*FULL SPOILERS FOR Jujutsu Kaisen manga BELOW*
Okay so you will probably not see this comment but I want to talk about the realism of so many deaths in stories like JJK. The death counts are way beyond reality would allow. Nations and organizations cannot lose that much and survive.
1 out of every 10 men in France died in WW1 and the loss was so great that France caved during WW2 in 7 months. That is approximately 5% of the population.
The Soviet Union lost approximately 17% of its population a.k.a. 1 in 6 during WW2 and that damage was so great that it collapsed from it decades later. Russia, Ukraine and the rest of the member states of the Soviet Union are all nations in population decline primarily due to WW2.
Only in fiction does killing a people or organization require killing most if not all of them. It has been proven and over that the number to do so is a lot smaller than people want to say. I have yet to see any group survive more than 18% and only Rome managed to thrive at any point afterwards. Rome only survived its 1 in 6 death rate during the Second Punic War by having no peers threaten them and having a really good birth rate.
How is this relevant to JJK? The death rate has to be way above this. Jujutsu sorcery is realistically dead and gone after this battle with Sukuna. This is ignoring other factors in JJK's world building like the Gojo clan.
Seriously where is the Gojo clan? Their chief a man they love as much as we do was captured and they did nothing. This is one of the Big 3 clans. The Gojo clan with Satoru as their chief would realistically be the dominant power yet they take their fall without a fight?
Now Satoru is dead and where are they? This goes beyond mere laziness. No nation or important organization would tolerate something like this. He is Jujutsu royalty. Where is his Dad and Mom? Does he have siblings?
Jujutsu Kaisen jumped the shark with all this. I was looking forward to a Jujutsu Civil War between the 3 clans to free our boy. That would have been epic and awesome. Alas Gege is not into good world building. Still I stayed for a top 10 character ever for me Satoru Gojo.
Well when he was killed, I was upset. Not just did my favorite character in the series die, but he was mocked by the author and did so in a way that directly mocked me by saying I didn't read what I read. To top that all off the author did so via the character mocked. I dropped Jujutsu Kaisen after that chapter and that broke my heart. Turns out crafting the worst chapter I have ever read will do that. Despite its massive flaws I genuinely loved this series for what it was.
Turns out JJK is just a discount Akame Ga Kill.
Not to be rude, but why should people listen to you? where did you learn this stuff?
it was beamed into my head during a dream
Lol wut
the guy is a jjk butthurt fan boi lmao, gottem@@AsarathaHSYT
Even if i do disagree that jjks deaths have bad execution because most characters tend to have a arc or is part of one even a small one before hand but its not always the best it could be because gege doesnt want his story to be as long as the big 3 wail often times efficiency is a good thing to fast can be bad especially in the most recent arc thats my main problem like with the death of major villian im conflicted on its cool that for once a plan that the good guys spend a long time planning for actually works but with us not being prevy to anything that happened that month not even a chapter that can hint at things without spoiling twists has left alot of power ups and twists feeling like ase pulls even if they arnt because they dont have the set up that most things in jjk have had so far. To sum up my point i dont think that it has bad execution just poor passing in the opposite way poor passing is normally done. But uh great video story efficiency could be a idea for a future media literacy
In my opinion people the problem with people dying in jjk is more like Gege try to act different from other stories. Lile killing Nobara which is basically the "sakura" of the show. Ok she dead and her death shock Yuji but.... That's all we don't really care, her flashback was pointless, her goal in the story was.... For me it is just killing people for the sake of killing people
@@alvinbonny1562 I can't say your wrong she didn't really have much of a larger scope and not really anything special to keep her strong and without the time to give her a training arc she would either fall behind or die pathetically at least she got to be a bad ase before she died also I don't think her flash back was pointless could it have been better definitely but it was a nice rap up to who her character was it was just rushed witch as I mentioned is my problem with jjk but the time he used was used well
@@nathankeel6667 This is basically what i call waste potential. And i can't get away with the feeling that Gege did it just to mislead people and create surprise. The problem ok you surprise us by killing that character "BUT" what the real impact on the story.
For example it is like you kill Kamina in Guren Lagan but its death didn't bring anything whatsoever. For me it is like Gege keep killing them for the shock value except we are not shocked anymore.
@alvinbonny1562 last thing I'll post because I don't think we can change each other's minds but it did have a purpose she was the closest one to yuji so her death broke him and was a catalyst for mahitos growth both reactions that make sense there's even a line from yuji later about not wanting Hana to replace nobara it's a small scean but it's a really nice one to show how her death still affects yuji yes this makes her more of a tool to move the plot forward then a charchter but ultimately that's what charchters are
Ever heard of run-on sentences? I can barely read this comment. Jeez
Ok but why not talk about this with spoilers you just say that gege doesn't do something right without a single example I know about who you mean and I don't understand how you mean it becouse I cared a lot about them
sorry , what?
