Jujutsu Kaisen is not a perfect work, but none is. However, one of the greatest criticism is towards Kenjaku, a villain who deserved a more worthy ending of what he represented. But there is something that Not everyone knows and this is not the most disappointing antagonist that had the series, but there is another even worse. Next, we will tell you the details. But you should know what spoilers contains.
Naoya Zenin became the most disappointing antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen for several reasons
Naoya became a disappointing character
It is important to address a little context about the character in order to understand why it is a disappointing antagonist. This is a member of the Zenin clan that was introduced immediately after the events of the Shibuya incident. Naoya was one of Naobito Zenin's children, the twentieth seventh head of the clan.
This character had an interesting spiritual power. In fact, it was part of the first degree sorcerers, which speaks very well of their qualities. Not to mention what I had A quite powerful and versatile cursed techniqueas is the projection technique.
Despite all these positive attributes, the development given by the work was quite depressing and unfortunate, turning it into a real disappointment. To begin, he was defeated by Choso in a confrontation against one, later to the Shibuya incident.
Naoya died very fast in the work
But it is not all, since, at that same moment, and when he was defeated and a point of being eliminated, Yuta Okkotsu, one of the special degree sorcerers more powerful, appeared and ended up humilling himturning it into a do me laugh.
Some justify this defeat as a form that the author used to highlight the fact that, despite being quite powerful, he had many insecurities and an ego problem. But the truth is that this defeat only subtracts intimidation points as a villain And it makes it less interesting.
But this was not all, since, when Maki visited the Zenin clan, he ended up facing Naoya. Here we notice a great conflict that goes beyond the plotWell, there was a clear resentment between them.
However, this confrontation occurred after Maki obtained her increase in power, so the girl ended up defeating him and humilling him again. Although the final blow did not havebut did the mother of Maki and Mai. And so, Naoya accumulated two defeats in a row.
But this was not the last time, since, During the events of the Sacrifice GamesNaoya returned curse, although only to be defeated once more.
These defeats in a row, coupled with its lack of intimidationthey made him a quite common and uninteresting character. Although he wanted to get the power of the clan and kill Megumi, he was brutally humiliated in the work.
All this allows us to conclude that All Naoya's participation in the work was fillinguninteresting, without real consequences and that could have been omitted and had nothing changed. Definitely, a disappointing antagonist.
Although Naoya was presented as an intriguing antagonist and with A sinister plan to get the power of its clankilling Megumi in the process, the truth is that it did nothing but be a simple boxing sack for the main characters.
