The possibility of salvation is an opportunity that's fairly common in the world of shonen magazines, just think of Akira Toriyama with Dragon Ball or Masashi Kishimoto in Naruto. However, there are those who disagree, as evidenced by the words of Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Gege Akutami's work has made his work a real phenomenon, even becoming one of the flagship manga of in recent months Weekly Shonen Leap thanks to over 70 million copies sold. The credit for success is mainly due to the characters he created, including the antagonists.

And just about the bad guys, especially about sukuna and mahitohe specified that for them there is no possibility of salvation, as happened with sasuke or Obito: "Unlike Naruto where the hero argues with the other side and ends up making peace with them. It seems unnatural to me that Sukuna can accept Yuji or affection from others. The same goes for Mahito. I wanted to avoid the classic "it's basically good" cliché. Mahito is purely evil, so evil that he only desires people's suffering. But can he be completely wrong? Kind of reminds me of Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. In the end I didn't hate it."

And you, on the other hand, what do you think of his words, do you partly agree with him? Let us know what you think about it by leaving a comment in the dedicated reserved box below.
