The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen is among the most anticipated, but there is one detail that many fans may have ignored. Those who only follow the anime already have an idea of what to expect: the season will cover the “Extermination of Itadori” arc before delving into the complex “Slaughter Game”.
However, the real impact is in the details. This new season will bring the story to a crucial point, connecting elements that many fans had not even imagined. The end of the second season introduced the “Extermination of Itadori” arc, highlighting Yuta Okkotsu, protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 , tasked with eliminating Itadori Yuji after Sukuna lost control, causing devastating chaos in the “Shibuya Incident” arc. This narrative decision by Gege Akutami is one of the most significant and underrated in the franchise, with profound implications.
Yuta: The perfect Jujutsu Kaisen protagonist
Interestingly, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is not just a prequel, but the foundation of everything. Originally published as “Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School”, it was only renamed after the success of Jujutsu Kaisen . The story of Yuta Okkotsu, haunted by his childhood friend and fiancée, Rika, captivated the public and paved the way for the Jujutsu universe.
Characters like Gojo, Geto and Maki were already solid pillars of this original narrative. However, Yuta has remained out of the main anime until now. With its return at the end of the second season, the anime begins to explore the confrontation between two protagonists.
The meeting of two rivals
When introducing Yuji Itadori as the protagonist, many Yuta fans initially resisted the change. The third season, however, unites the two characters in a decisive way. Yuta, with his mission to exterminate Yuji, takes on a vital role in the plot, consolidating his position as a central figure.
This conflict between Yuta and Yuji not only strengthens the narrative, but reflects the evolution of Gege Akutami's messages in the series. The interaction between the two reveals contrasting themes and enriches Yuji's development. Their journey promises to redefine the saga , culminating in an epic conclusion to the series.
