    The fact this series outsold HxH in manga sells just renders the sells argument moot. Mass consumption of a product doesn't equate to said product having quality.

      I remember when some manga readers said the Shibuya incident arc reminded them of HxH's York New arc... so I was curious how they compare but Shibuya is nowhere near as good as that arc...
      Shibuya is basically just --> Gojo being captured --> a bunch of random fights (I admit that a lot of them are good as spectacle, my favourite being the one in the toiliet because of the hand to hand combat)
      Of all the JJK arcs I have seen, none of them could beat even one arc of HxH as far as I am concerned.

      Same as well,they actually one of example for representation of "tourist"behaviour,considering if you remember how they used to defend the series during it popularity to the point insulting and using even flooding other with "mock"profile to attack or bashed anyone that doesn't think highly or joining their big echo chamber(of praising the eff out of the series or thinking high of it)
      And when it getting bad,they will just jumped off to another new popular series(like Dandandan,Sakamoto Days or any new and popular thing) to feed off their addiction to popular or trendy thing,and without owning up to what they have said to other in earlier phase during it popularity
      For example of the types for fan that i can slightly respect are the one that understand their favorite series is not perfect,and doesn't treat it with holier than thou attitudes,and doesn't jump off to other series as soon it not a popular stuff anymore despite them used to bash or attack anyone before it without owning up to what they have said earlier.

    Correction:
    Mc is called yuji
    The merger was implied to be so strong only sukuna had a decent chance
    As it's literally all of japan's potential jujutsu power merged into one being. And sukuna could only summon It if he killed everyone
    Thirdly yuji doesn't exorcise sukuna out of megumi with the power of friendship
    He instead used his copy of sukuna's ability to hit
    The barriers between sukuna and megumi 's soul weakening him
    When yuji Landed the last hit sukuna WAS DONE
    he only tried to prolong It by breaking megumi's Spirit . But as yuji had reawakened megumi's soul he rejected sukuna's temptatiom and sukuna was expelled
    Crumbling down, yuji offers sukuna to live inside him, to not curse Anyone, but sukuna rejects It and chooses to die, calling yuji by his name for the first and the last time
    Throughout the manga the idea of: to become the strongest you need to force out attachment is repeated
    However at the end sukuna learned about Love.
    He was beaten, so he's no longer the strongest
    Ironically Sukuna in the afterlife ends Up deciding to not be a curse but rather, try again differently if he had the chance consoling uraume.
    Meanwhile yuji surpassed sukuna thanks to love.

    Anime essayists, Sakura, and the modern conception of art as a constant upending of what came before have mind-broken a generation.
    There's no reason to go against a trope if it's doing something for your story, and just going "nah fuck it I'll do something else" with no plan shouldn't be something you get praise for, ever.

      As for Sakuga: yeah. The same with AoT, One Piece, and so many others. Too many others. A candle that burns twice as bright usually burns half as long. It's especially jarring with JJK because there are so many problems with the ending.

    • @loliH9

      @IllusionistsBane Sakura is in the weird place of being an important character because she just happened to be assigned to the same team as a prodigy who has been working himself to the bone to master his clan's techniques to avenge them, and the protagonist while being a normal girl from a small family. She still makes more than what anyone in her position could have through grit and hard work but they expected her to be this wise, logical character who can cold read Naruto and put his needs above her own in a sensible way when she's an emotional teenager forced to fight international terrorists, of whom her crush is one of them. Not once did they stop to think what kind of person Sakura is and why she would want to reconnect with Sasuke so when they see a character like Nobara, who acts like a selfish sociopath and only thinks "me me me", or Maki, who has better reasons to exterminate her clan but is still a mass murderer, they clap and sing their praises because they achieved "something" outside the men in their lives. That's easy when JJK has such paper-thin characters that not a single person in the Zenin clan other than those with Heavenly Restriction rebelled. Like, not Maki's father, not one of Maki's uncles, not a boy her age, nothing. All of them, but Toji, were cartoon villains.
      And then there's the shrug with legs that is Nobara.
      There's no reason to praise these characters as strong or morally complex unless you are one of those crazy people who wanted Sakura, a normal girl from a no-name family and not even part of a clan, to be equal to a late-bloomer genius forged by fire and a complete madman with a nuclear reactor in his guts.
      Bear in mind, I don't even think Sakura is a particularly complex character, but she makes perfect sense for who she is. If anything, I wish Kishimoto didn't humiliate her in the last chapters of the manga.

    The bad tropes of shonen are just bad writing. So good writing is the subversion but good stories are not a new thing at all so are not subversive. This is diff from deconstrucring something then reconstructing it into something else by adding in something new like realism or other tropes from a diff genres.
