Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 Sparks Controversy in Japan
The recent events in Jujutsu Kaisen have raised significant concerns, particularly regarding Yuta’s acquisition of his teacher’s body. The portrayal has not only stirred anxiety among fans but has also sparked a wave of critical reactions across Asia.
A concerned fan expressed, “In my opinion, using a dead body is an extremely unethical method that dehumanizes the character and undermines the values of the work. It reflects a troubling trend that suggests that the end justifies the means.” This sentiment captures the intense backlash following the official release of this chapter.
This isn’t the first time Jujutsu Kaisen has stirred controversy. Kenjaku has previously employed similar techniques to take over bodies for extended periods. He also took over the bodies of Geto and Kaori after their deaths. However, the backlash this time is notably stronger. As Yuta is a student of Gojo, many believe that there should be more respect for the older character and his teacher.
Moreover, the choice to utilize a deceased body highlights a troubling trend in Asian culture. As such, recent chapters have been met with intense criticism. Nevertheless, this situation illustrates the extraordinary lengths that Jujutsu sorcerers are willing to go to in order to achieve victory, even at the cost of their humanity.
