Ranking of the best protagonists

Jujutsu Kaisen, the hit shonen series, continues to show its strength during the 2023 fall anime season. The series is known for its outstanding fight scenes, horror elements, and a variety of fan-favorite characters. Since its inception, Jujutsu Kaisen has attracted viewers with its fascinating characters and compelling life stories, showing constant improvement throughout the series.

The main cast of Jujutsu Kaisen initially seems to fit typical shonen character archetypes. However, the author, Gege Akutami, was able to give them unique depth and personality, beyond the basic clichés. Characters such as Kokichi “Mechamaru” Muta, Megumi Fushiguro, Toge Inumaki, Panda, Mahito, Maki Zenin, Kento Nanami, Satoru Gojo, and Nobara Kugisaki, have all had significant developments over the course of the series, standing out as charming and engaging characters.

From Mechamaru who redeems himself in an epic fight, to Megumi who seeks her own space and becomes attached to her classmates, to Toge who, despite his limited expression, manages to convey depth and humanity, they are all characters who do not limit themselves to be stereotypes. The villain Mahito also stands out for his duality between cruelty and disturbing humor.

Additionally, characters like Maki, Kento, Satoru, and Nobara brought a new standard of characterization to female figures in shonen manga, demonstrating strength, determination, and complexity.

With such a well-developed set of characters, Jujutsu Kaisen continues to entertain and engage its audience, confirming itself as one of the standout series of the anime season. His ability to bring depth and emotional resonance to his characters is an element that has contributed to his continued success.
