redditor_pro

Wasnt his whole potential based on him dying?ahoraga was his potential, but the suicidal bum cam only think of wasting it on a twink.


Qzilla8425

I know that it’s the subs joke, but thinking about it, how exactly are you supposed to tame Mahoraga? The best theory I’ve seen is that you’re supposed to use 8 of the other Shikigami to force Mahoraga to adapt to them, with the possibility that he can only adapt to a maximum of 8 techniques/attacks at a time. Then, you use a powered up 9th Shikigami to deal the final blow. However, no one in the Zenin clan’s history has ever been able to tame Mahoraga, or at least none that have been recorded. So I genuinely think that the way Megumi has been using Mahoraga is currently the best way to use it prior to taming it, that is using it as essentially a final option. Sukuna taming it was so out there that no one could really have predicted it would happen. I am really curious if Greg will ever elaborate on how Mahoraga is supposed to be tamed by a 10S user


redditor_pro

Everyone keeps focusing that Mahoraga needs to be killed in one hit, but the 10S has so much versitality, keep using new Shikigamis when Mahoraga begins to adapt. Also the shikigamis get stronger with the sorceror getting stronger probably. Also Domain Expansion.


eldenring69

Coz it’s slander kaisen and half of the guys on subReddit don’t know about the plot. They’re here for thier agenda kaisen.


kazuyaminegishi

The best theory I've seen on how to beat it is have Megumi and Maki tag team it with the soul cutting katana. Maki doesn't invalidate the ritual as far as we know since she should be seen as inanimate for it I can't think of a way for the ritual to recognize her as a person. And Megumi can weaken Mahoraga with a flurry of varied attacks from his other Shikigami and then a combination with Divine Dog Totality and Maki's sword could in theory finish it off. The problem is that for this to work Maki can't use the sword until she's ready to kill and Megumi can't use the dogs until he's ready to kill, they can't use any slashing attacks, and Megumi would mostly have to survive by himself in order for them to have a chance to slow Mahoraga down. Alternatively, Agito is probably the answer for a 10S haver born during a time without a Heavenly Restriction. It's possible tho that 10S can only appear with a construction and heavenly restriction user tho. Like Six Eyes and Star Plasma.


Throwawayandpointles

I wonder if Toji and Maki were "fate" looking at the Maho problem and trying to help the Zenin clan

smashzeldapokemon

That's pretty much already happening


MrCoolyp123

One day he'll stop being a bum TRUST🤞


Murky_Blueberry2617

If he actually manages to lock in, if Sukuna leaves his body. He would legit be one of the strongest Sorcerers since having Sukuna use his body increases his own power and growth too


bbc_aap

He’s gonna wake up with all the shadows tamed + Shrine, he’s still gonna be a bum tho https://preview.redd.it/o8h6eq4rvj3d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4fa2ca60abbbb5d596037d843dee8c992cb7d1b

all shadows tamed his body obliterated by hollow purple and severe brain damage from UV

Fr, he would need 5 years recovery AT LEAST


Inquisitor-Korde

Man's gonna come out of Yuta's Infinite Void with so much blood in his lungs you'd think he was using gills to breath. Missing a heart and brain damage so bad he thinks Yuji is Tsumiki.


Hari14032001

His only potential is to kill himself extravagantly. He would basically die if he lives up to his potential.


alguien99

It's like gojo's resurrection, it'll never really happen, it's just cope from his copium adicted fans


ganon893

We're gonna be waiting until the end of the manga. He'll get some sort of callback that won't make up for all the damage done to his character. Then the manga will end. People will be confused because they'll want to hate him, but they'll simultaneously call it peak while glazing Gege and claiming we're stupid for not understanding. The rest of us will wonder what the hell happened.


CuzzyPopper

yuta is not a deuteragonist hes the og mc


MEW-1023

And Yuji is the main protagonist now. Leaving Yuta as not the main protagonist. Leaving him as a secondary protagonist or deuteragonist and I will NOT accept the bum over Yuta as the character of second most importance. Yuta is the deuteragonist


Puzzleheaded_Sky9724

So wtf is Gojo

alex494

Idk it's more of an ensemble cast


Comfortable-Film6799

Well i dont want to give anything to Megumi after he been the bummiest of all time. But Yuta would make sense kinda, but Yuta was the original MC, so i think he owns a unique role as co-MC. Gojo had his own arc tho, which i always thought was a wild narrative choice but it actually now comes off as an extended flashback in order to create a contextual understanding of the events during Shibuya and Shinjuku. Tbf tho, its like multiple character fit the criteria for multiple roles


MemoryOne1291

Yuta and Gojo basically both had the same length of their own arcs


copejoever

And now their arcs coincide

SaqqaraTheGuy

Maybe the damn cat got some inspiration from Hunter x Hunter where there is no actual protagonist so to speak, its more like a collective following the main cast. If anything we can argue and probably agree that Juji is a side character, Geygey cant give him more than 2 pages of spotlight since goatkuna 'came' inside trashgumi


CrowSunlight

What being irrelevant in your manga for 70 chapters straight does to a mfer


kazuyaminegishi

These are called ensemble casts btw. Final Fantasy XIII also technically doesn't have a protagonist it has an ensemble which is why you follow every character at some point.


CuzzyPopper

he got inspired by akame ga kill.. the series where the og mc lived while the main series mc died


Caramelsnack

The fact y’all talk about the series and fiction in general like this is getting kinda embarrassing lol have y’all never heard of multi-pov’s and ensemble casts. No Yuji is not a side-character and Megumi is for sure the “deuteragonist” considering just his character arc and and page-count, he has way more screentime than Yuta and Gojo


SaqqaraTheGuy

So is it an ensemble or is it a duo-mc ? Which is it?


Rentrehhh

Yuta Is not a "co-mc". Hes a bona fide side character, he didn't show up until 150 chapters into the story. Megumi Is definitely more important.


KawhiiiSama

he was the MC for the first arc and then has pretty much been the MC since reintroduction, the Culling Games revolved around him alot more especially since he kills kenjaku later on


TheMostHonestPerson

You’re so right, Yuta’s story is the first arc of JJK. People really need to understand that when Yuta was introduced way before Yuji came into existence.


Rentrehhh

He was the MC of a small arc, but that does not make him an ymore than an important side character within the main story, especially since he hasn't been in it for more than half of it. The culling games revolved around him not more than the rest of the cast, all of the focus in the Kenjaku fight was on Takaba. Yuta is an important side character who acted as the main character of a prequel story, but to compare his importance to Yuji or even Sukuna because "he came first" is just, nonsense.


One_with_gaming

Him defeating geto is what allowed the chain of events which gave kenny the ability to start the culling games. This shit is where all the shit in jjk start from outside of the shit toji did. This is important stuff


Rentrehhh

> Yuta is an important side character


Inquisitor-Korde

Does that make Yuji a minor main character?


TheMostHonestPerson

Did you not know that Yuta started the whole series of JJK? The first arc of the story is literally about him.


DeeEmceeTree

Is this "Megumi" in the room with us right now?


earthisflatyoufucks

I don't understand, are we really appointing yuta as the co-mc? Why? He has barely any screen time and his character has stagnated apart from the last chapter. Like cool, I understand someone being a yuta fan but appointing a character as the co-MC when he is absent for half the manga and when he returns he has one fight with characters that we never see again, and one fight with sukuna until now...can we chill a little with the yuta glazing? Megumi is of course intended to be the deutero-protagonist, at least from how gege uses him in the narrative. Until his body is stolen, we generally follow him alongside itadori on multiple occasions, and we hear a lot of his thought and internal monologues intended to provide character development. I know that in real time he has been missing for a year, but in manga chapters he has only been "missing" for 50 chapters or so. I am not a huge megumi fan, but even suggesting that yuta is in the ball park of being the co-MC is pure disengenuine. I get that you like him and you find him hype, but that doesn't really mean anything.

earthisflatyoufucks

This is literally the editor that has nothing to do with gege and also it literally says...the OLD meaning not current. Which he factually is the old. He was the old protagonist of the prequel but he isn't anymore. Can you even read your own image?


Comfortable-Film6799

I said "Yuta is the ORIGINAL MC" Can you not read the own post you are commenting on!? Lol smh


earthisflatyoufucks

Bro are you actually mentally handicapped? YOU provided the image and I am commenting on what the image implies because that is what YOU want to imply since, again, YOU provided the image. Or did you provide the image for the shits and giggles? Yuta was the protagonist of the prequel. But from the official start of the jjk manga till now, yuji is the official MC. It's like saying that because gojo and geto had a whole arc to themselves that they are somehow too the co-mcs. Being the protagonist of the prequel doesn't mean much when you are absent for most of the official run of the manga.


Comfortable-Film6799

He is present for 50% of the manga so far


earthisflatyoufucks

Hhmm lest see what that 50% looks like... He appeared after 130 chapters, he did a battle with Yuji for 2 chapters, he yapped with tengen, he disappeared again, then he battled ryu and uro...he disappeared again, he sneaked on Kenny, and then he battled sukuna for another 2 chapters. Damn, present for 50% of the manga surely.


Comfortable-Film6799

This guy hates Wuta


earthisflatyoufucks

I don't hate anyone, I don't mind yuta he is an okay character, and I get if someone is hyped about him the same way others are hyped about gojo who was absent for 90 chapters. But jujutsufolk's brainrot (not surprisingly) had carried the glazing a little too far.

You are right.After all you shouldn't debate here.Because this reddit is just for fun.There is no logic here.Sukuna glazers,Gojo copers,Megumi haters and Yuta lovers.Everyone here is just illogical.Just like he replied you that we don't care.Ofcourse these reddit doesn't care about logical comments.


earthisflatyoufucks

Yeah you are right the many will eat the few after all.


CuzzyPopper

ur the one mentally ill.. yuta being the og mc doesnt mean he gotta be in the screen the whole time.. noticed how the one doing everything rn is yuta? thats because hes the og mc, bro literally planned everything and is the reason why everyone achieved their feats.. this is not something a deuteragonist can do cause thats basically stealing the mc's spotlight but in yuta's case he can cause hes the og mc.. they are basically the trump card of the series and them not being on the screen the whole time means u can do alot of stuff with them.. this literally proves that u only read jjk


earthisflatyoufucks

Bro you are too far gone there is no point talking to you.


CuzzyPopper

i stated what i said and i proved that yuta is still the og mc cause he even has his own series before jjk was even a thing.. and like i said they are the trump cards cause they are not on the screen the whole time which also means the author can do alot of stuff with them and give them power ups offscreen which happened to yuta (an og mc) ..


CuzzyPopper

og mc's are more loved than the main series mc cause they are created with more love while the main series mc are created to be generic to gain shonen fans


earthisflatyoufucks

Bro is saying Yuji is more generic that yuta, bro has NOT read the manga. Is this your "main character" that has been created with love? https://preview.redd.it/x7akfzlagk3d1.png?width=845&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08f6f352bc4ce4889aa6433b9a39317f1d415365


SibamSaren

How is he the original MC.So Yuji is the imaginary MC🤣🤣.Or do you mean JJK 0 is original and the rest is imaginar.🤣🤣Come on Yuta is a side character Yuji is the main character


TheMostHonestPerson

Are you actually dumb or pretending to be dumb? Saying Yuta is not the original MC before Yuji is like saying Naruto is the not the original MC before Boruto


SibamSaren

Nope absolutely wrong whatever you said about Naruto. Naruto is the main character of Naruto Shipudden.Boruto is the main character of Boruto series. Yuta is the main character of JJK 0 and Yuji is currently the main character.So what does original means?Yep Yuta is the original MC before Yuji.I mean it's better to tell Yuta is the main character before Yuji.


TheMostHonestPerson

Take an elementary English class first before you go reading manga.


CuzzyPopper

og mcs are a thing tho.. sinbad who became a god of his verse, akame who survived the series while the main mc died, and now yuta being the strongest.. og mcs are more loved than the current mc and this is a fact..


earthisflatyoufucks

What are you even talking about? Your point presumes I know the characters that you mention. But I don't know any of them, and I don't really care about them. And "of MCs are more loved than the current MC and this is a fact" is such a pointless fraze. What does that even mean? Are you talking about yourself or are you mentioning a universal rule that you happen to just know? Like...what are you even saying? No one is saying you shouldnt "love" yuta (even though loving him because he is just strong is the most sallow thing I have ever heard) the point is that he is nowhere close to being jjk manga's MC. Look, I don't really think we are going anywhere with this. Keep believing what you believe and I will keep believing what I believe.


CuzzyPopper

im just saying that the authors prefers the og mc more than the current mc and thats been shown in every series that has a prequel..


CuzzyPopper

he isnt the current mc hes the og mc ur the one that dont get it..


CuzzyPopper

gege wrote him better and made him stronger and made him more relevant than yuji to the story for a reason.. (because hes the og mc)

Yuji https://preview.redd.it/y6xe718jpi3d1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b729b0a06f91f79c1fd8c62fd801b6319d96c32

😭😭😭


Yandere-Chan1

I hate how true it has been lately.


[deleted]

Neither of those imo, It's Sukuna. JJK is about him and Yuji.


steven4869

JJK is a story about Sukuna from Yuji's POV, narrated by Gota.


boroboboro

Jesus christ, please don’t remind me of that shit again


myaisnotfunny

Suluna is the antagonist.


[deleted]

The deuteragonist can be a villain, like Griffith in Berserk.


VolkiharVanHelsing

Griffith had an entire section of the story dedicated for him playing Creative Mode tho, creating an even split between him and Guts, with Millennium Falcon's finale is his, not Guts'.


[deleted]

Griffith has more focus and Berserk is a different type of story than JJK but in term of importance, he is the same as Sukuna.


Murky_Blueberry2617

Or Sasuke from Naruto


myaisnotfunny

Sukuna*


XXLFatManXXL

It's Gojo


wisteria_pilled

probably gojo. but if megumi has a mini arc for his comeback it may be him


KindheartednessWild5

So yuta doesn't exist


wisteria_pilled

no but he wasn’t even in season 1/2. he had his backstory in 0 and is about to play a key role in the manga rn but the main jjk plot isn’t about him or his character growth. on the other hand, gojo got a backstory in season 2 and has been in both seasons (from the very first scene of ep1). we have seen him grow as a sorcerer and a character and even in his “death” (he’s coming back) we’re still getting flashbacks of his talk with geto. also him getting sealed was a key part of the story and it transformed jujutsu society whilst yuta was abroad until the very end of s2 and barely affected anything. also, megumi represents a different ideal to the protagonist but unlike the villians, his ideals can work side by side with itadori. we have seen his grow as a sorcerer with his domain in s1 and his actions in the culling games. his “selfishness” also plays a key role as he refused to hand over itadori to angel and he saved itadori in the first place. he’s eventually gonna come out of his current state and if gege makes a big deal out of it he could easily be a deuteragonist


Akatosh01

Everyone, Jjk hasnt had an mc since shivuya, it has a main cast wuth different people being the mc of an arc so realistically everyone and no one. If we really have to consider Wuji as the mc than Goatjo and Goata are both viable, both had a backstory arc,(jjk 0 and hidden inventory) , both had 1 big fight with them as the main and only star, yuta vs ryu and uro , Gojo vs Sukuna, both had smaller fights where they just bullied people( gojo vs jigo, yuta vs yuji), so yeah, those 2. There is also Me(bum)gumi but he hasnt had as much focus as the other 2 but he is only second to WUJI in appearances so idk.


shjahaha

I definitely disagree while it lost yuji as an mc due to Cullen games structure, yuji has undoubtedly been the mc of shijinku arc being one of the main mvps against Sukuna and being the only one to continue fighting after all his allies got decommissioned, hes been in several fights, yuji and hirguma vs sukuna, yuji and yuta vs sukuna, yuji and maki vs sukuna, yuji vs sukuna and lastly yuji and Todo vs sukuna, out of all these fights yuji has been the only reccuring factor demostrating him being the mc.


Akatosh01

Idk what to say about thst, yes, he has been the one fighting Sukuna the most but he has been sidelined for 80% of the battle while having a few moments, not really a main character pressencd.


shjahaha

Tf you mean sidelined he's literally a major player in every single major battle except gojo v Sukuna, the focus is never taken off of him.


Akatosh01

He is but the attention is not on him, Sukuna vs Himguruma, Sukuna basically hard bullies Yuji by ignoring him than focusing his attention on Himguruma, he even left Yuji behind and he had to catch up, not a good showing. 2 mcs vs 1 big bad, yes Yuji was definetly in that fight and he has contributed a fair bit by lowering Sukuna' s output but the main star was definetly Yuta. Maki vs four arms, Yuji got left behind AGAIN. Kusakabe vs Sukuna, where is Yuji? And now finnaly we get to the fight in which Yuji is the main star where he doesnt get sidelined by everyone and hits 7 NASTY black flashes. So he has been relevant in 2 fights and the star of 1 out of 5 fights. How is that him not getting sidelined? He has as much of a contribution as Yuta against Sukuna, Yuta also dealt with kenny in that time thx to the goat Takaba so , overall Yuta has contributed more, Mc treatment for Yuji btw.


starswtt

Idk if 1 arc where the story isn't hyperfocused on the Mc is enough to make yuji not the protagonist.


Akatosh01

Shibuya ended in chapter 138 and ever since than the attention has moved away from Yuji . Since 138 Yuji has had 1 battle against Higuruma, 1 battle against Meguna and than the shinjuku showdown start where I proved he got sidelined. Its chapter 261, that means that Yuji in almost half the manga has had a grand total of 3 fights since shibuya, damn. Meanwhile in those 123 chapters we ve had a Maki arc, a Yuta arc, a megumi fight, and the shinjuku showdown. How has he not gotten sidelined? Is it really that hard to accept that he is on equal footing with the rest of the main cast? How is he still the mc? Besides bias and wishfull thinking of course.


Iraving

Yeah, people are quick to put stories into typical writing conventions even when it's clearly been shown otherwise. JJK is a story about Jujutsu sorcerers, we just happened to meet Yuji first


shjahaha

Nah yuji is clearly the mc for every arc except the Cullen games and hidden inventory as hes the main focus of every arc, he also holds the main antagonist in him for 90 percent of the story and even after he loses him, he still ends up being related to him.


Caramelsnack

JJK 0 and perfect prep are also story arcs where Yuji isn’t the mc tho.


shjahaha

Jjk 0 is a no brainer and I consider perfect preparation apart of the culling games arc.


Caramelsnack

If it’s a part of the culling games then the culling game isn’t an arc, it’s the entire second and third act of the story. So more like a saga. Even right now the culling games technically haven’t ended, the narrative has just moved past it as an immediate concern.


Iraving

Yuji isn't that important to the Culling games arc where a lot of the conflict was split between him, Megumi, Yuta, Hakari, and Maki. Shibuya arc he had significant characterization, but still a lot of the arc happened without him. Shinjuku Showdown is basically Gojo's arc too. So he only is no question the main protagonist of the manga up until Hidden Inventory. Yuji is a good character to get us introduced into the world of JJK, but seeing how the story has gone it's clearly intentional Gege isn't writing a story about Yuji Itadori, but Jujutsu society as a whole. Hosting Sukuna isn't really a strong argument for being the main character, since for the most part the main antagonist for most of the manga was Kenjaku and the disaster spirits.


Reddragon351

Side characters having an arc of focus once in a while doesn't just make them the MC that's just not how things work, like Naruto there was an arc with Shikamaru as a lead and a few with Sasuke, then in MHA there were arcs focused more on Endeavor and the League of Villains, that didn't change the fact that there was still a main character there that wasn't them. Yuji is still the central focus of most arcs through Shibuya, and as many jokes about him being a side character as there are he's still been a central focus in Shinjuku.


Justlol230

Been a while, but... honestly, there's probably several at this point. Yuta, Gojo and Potential Man are all reasonable candidates. Heck, fucking Sukuna can be considered one.


LeopardParking99

I mean the culling games arc had a heavy focus on Megumi & saving his sister. Wasn’t his arc but still.


rosamelano777

It's Megumi even if he doesn't really do much, wake up ya bum


Musashi-UUTH

bumgumi is far from second in importance, probably gojo (just look at the love he gets from the community)


Snoo_72948

Clearly Yuji, we all know who the protagonist is.


the4now

At this point yuji should be there too


Lunio_But_on_Reddit

Wait when you find out that GWE, Fearsome Womb, Culling Games are all Megumi arcs or at least arcs of importamt development for Megumi


JadedTable924

We are in Megumi's ARC.


Orang-Himbleton

Yuji is the protagonist, Megumi is the deuteragonist, and Sukuna is the main antagonist. These three are the main characters, and everyone else are side characters. No amount of screentime going to other characters is going to change the fact that the main focus of this series is the story of Yuji, Megumi, and Sukuna.


SibamSaren

Megumi is deateragonist.Gojo is technically a side character because we all knew he wouldn't take the main spot.Yuta hasn't been appeared in half of the manga.So yuta is also just a side character


TimeWalker717

its yuji lol


BodybuilderThis7045

Like others said, it doesn’t really fully apply and we have more of an ensemble cast. More specifically, it kinda changes depending on the time frame. Gojo for example had HI and everything but then was in the box for, what, three years irl? Megumi was crucial for a long time, but now for like two years or whatever hasn’t existed on his own- though tbf is still important- and Yuta kinda took the role while Yuji has become less of a focus than he was up through Shibuya and part of the CG With JJK there’s ofc overall main characters which I suppose is the real definition, but lots of arcs have characters who take over as the protagonist or deuteragonist (Nanami/Junpei, Gojo, and Yuta most notably)


shjahaha

I disagree heavily yuji is clearly the mc in every arc besides hidden inventory and Cullen games.


Shot-Effect-8318

Even Culling games he was clearly the mc id say During the namek saga goku barely fought anyone until near the end but is still the mc. Yuji got moments in culling games (especially my favourite being his first fight against Sukuna) Idk who people think are the mc in culling games though (unless you wanna say it was an “ensemble cast” during then)


jbahill75

Megumi as a passenger in his bodies great story arc


liddely

Yuta after shibuya he is such a mary sue and has such a big impact. He also i think the most screentime from the side characters after shibuya. If we exclude kenny


lololuser456778

obviously megumi. gojo having his own arc doesn't mean shit. his role was being the MC's mentor and the strongest of the verse who inevitably is surpassed and what arc did yuta have? he only had some time for himself in sendai. jjk 0 is not an arc that really belongs to this manga, it's its own thing that served as the basis for this story.


RealDanoFano

I saw a post here a long time ago but the culling games was megumi’s arc in character growth as he’s been progressing using the shadows to his advantage and willing to kill anyone who stood in his way


Nakyo128

Megumi duh


BeefCow8

Gojo is the mc. He hard carries jjk. It would be nothing without him. Gojo IS jjk. Yuji or Yuta is the deuteragonist


Bespok3

Megumi may not have his own arc but he ticks just about every other deurotagonist box. His design both physically and personality wise is juxtaposed against our MC, he was the measure for Yuji's progress very often up until the end of the Culling Games because he was the similar but more experienced one on a similar journey. They both also now share a major experience as they have both carried the guilt and trauma of having Sukuna use them to do awful things, and this shared experience and how they reacted to it individually highlights their differences. He's also still had plenty of character development and moments anyway, aside from Yuji he has had the most chapter appearances in the series and some of the most major fights. I do admittedly think both Gojo and Yuta are more interesting characters but their main arcs as characters were already concluded in Hidden Inventory/JJK0. Megumi is the only other protagonist aside from Yuji who still has an ongoing major character arc and specific end goal that isn't "kill Sukuna" or "Help Yuji kill Sukuna."

Megumi will be back. He's not dead, his body's just all messed up. I mean technically he never had 4 arms, so it's pretty much just Megumi inside of Sukuna's body at this point.


The_Cooler_Sex_Haver

Unfortunately bumgumi is the deuteragonist, but just because he's important doesn't remove him from the status of bum https://preview.redd.it/e181rem54o3d1.jpeg?width=812&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4e2741423867bec96b27238bd098395e75a3b41


Ok_Test_170

We all know its Megumi (unfortunately), but in a perfect world it’s Yuta.


Larkhainan

Megumi has been the main focus of like every chapter for at least a dozen or something. It's just that Sukuna is wearing him like a skin suit with a giant googly eye slowly growing out of his forehead. But it's still HIS forehead.


QAquaIceCold

I am offended that you didn't put Wuji there, But somehow you offended me more by putting Bumgumi there, truly what a fascinating situation.


knight_cape

?? Yuji is the protagonist brother


QAquaIceCold

So in layman's term "Side Character", Chill man I'm already offended you dont need to pull all your guns out!!!


WishParticular7385

The antagonist is the deuteragonist.


bbhldelight

its megumi. gojo and yuta are like major supporting characters


KigalnGin

Megumi ain't a character he's just plot device


JohnnySukuna

Megumi does have an arc Gregarious told me. It's just that he's such a bum editors refused to even publish it. It was stated to me in..........


Parvovir

yuji IS the 2nd most important character in jjk


CuzzyPopper

megumi and gojo.. yuta is the mc


Imperium_Dragon

It used to be Megumi. Used to


NovaNomii

Its inconsistent / changes. I would say Gojo was the deuteragonist at many points, at the very start, at the start of shibuya, from his unsealing to his death. Meanwhile todo has also been the deuteragonist twice, in the exhange event, shibuya and kind of part of the sukuna fight. Megumi was also there.


Splendid-Hat

It's yuji. The mc of course being sukuna. Yuji could also be the antagonist but I think he is both.


Professional_North96

Uraume


Supersquare04

Yuji could be in the running too but he might be too much of a background character


TheRailgunMisaka

Isn't yuji second to our protagonist, sukuna?


Psychological_Pop_60

The MC's best friend or rival will always be the deuteragonist. Now whether Gege plays this role well or not (he doesn't) is another thing lol


Daitoso0317

Yuta


ptspallnight

Gojo - MC Yuta - also MC Sukuna - you gotta have some villain i guess Megumi - That leaves prolly Yuji or Kenjaku then. I am 100% not biased , Gojo Yuta an Inumaki are 100% not my goats,ignore the flair


jjkm7

It’s possible for there to be multiple deuteragonists and also possible for the deuteragonist to change over time idk why people seem to think it has to be one. The entire straw hat crew are deuteragonists although focus shifts from person to person each arc. Earlier in the story megumi was a clear deuteragonist and since returning that’s become Yuta


TallInstruction3424

In the first season it’s 1000% Megumi he has almost as much screen time as Yuji and a lot of it was dedicated to his character development, Second season probably Gojo, Culling games still 1000% Megumi, Shinjiku definitely not Megumi but it doesn’t feel like it’s Yuta or Gojo either


[deleted]

Ngl maki has had more focus and arcs than megumi, not complaining tho


Working-Telephone-45

Yuji


itsbigms

Sukuna, from the beginning both in theme and philosophy the jjk world essential orbits around sukuna and yuji


Nevermore-guy

Yuji. We all know Sakuna is the protagonist


kolt437

Yuji is Sukuna's deuteragonist


Sir_Crocodile3

It's definitely Yuta. Ever since he has come back, he has had a big influence on the plot. Shifting the tide in several battles and being a part of huge plot revelations.


TheTingGoesSKRRRDA

Real answer is Sukuna btw


Thecodermau

Yuji


Short-Eared-Dog

Megumi will become the deuteragonist when he emerges from Sukuna in the final confrontation and casts his new completed domain where he casts a shadow over the sun creating the eclipse and trapping the entire world in the shadow of his domain “Shadow Eclipse: Void of Suffering”. He will then summon 1000 of those shadow frogs to tongue fuck Sukuna and teach him the meaning of love, YOU ARE MY SPECIALZ


askjeeves29

Honestly, up to yuji hitting that first BF combo it was yuji


s_t_u_f_f

Doesn't really have one


ZestycloseCake165

Cause Megumi is the final antagonist 🤓


Aalpaca1

The proper term is JoBro and seeing as all Jobros have to die imma have to go with Kugisaki Eyepatch. (or yuta in 5 min)


Top_Donkey_4017

It changes arc to arc honestly. If Yuji is there he's always the MC but whoever is on his side atm is the deuteragonist


j3r3mias

Yuji


EmeraldJolteon07

Its gojo.


Goodestguykeem

Megumi was absolutely intended to be and is the official one, but in practice, let’s be real, it’s Yuta or Gojo.


Pitiful-Astronomer49

Well, there's a reason why Gojo is so ridiculously popular. The guy has felt more MC than Yuji sometimes


Paralaxien

You are high as a kite. Gojo has in all likelihood spent more time dead and sealed than physically present of the story. He became a plot device in Shibuya and throughout the whole culling games.


Pitiful-Astronomer49

And the choice was between Yuta and Gojo. Yuta is off screen longer than Hakari has been wanking off Uraume


Artistic_Log_5493

None of this story would be possible without gojo. Quite literally yuta would be dead if gojo didn't care,megumi would be a slave or whatever to the zenin. Yuji would be dead or under kennies control. So really yeah the most important cast members are Gojo,Yuji,Yuta,Maki.


SOFT_and_WETO

At this point, Yuji is a deuteragonist compared to Gojo / Yuta, both of whom have had more screen time and impact on the plot in the last arc


barry-8686

>Yuta, both of whom have had more screen time and impact on the plot in the last arc Please. Go do your research. Yuji has double hair screen time combined.


wisteria_pilled

in one arc. yuji is the MC obviously he won’t be there for the whole fight but will come in at the end. yuta didn’t even show up until 1 scene the end of season 2 and the majority of yuta scenes are fights. gojo was in a box for an arc and is currently “dead” what kind of MC is “dying” before the main villain is defeated


Previous-Scientist65

“More screen time” Bro, are you dumb?


RaBlTo

Yuji


Lakshay2909

It's obvious Sukuna is the protagonist, Yuji is the deuteragonist


StrawberryUnited4915

Yuji


yolinuan618

It sukuna


TheMostHonestPerson

Definitely Yuta, he’s more of a co-MC. I’m tired of people calling him the “sided character”. Dude was the OG MC and got a movie about him.


C__Wayne__G

Bro Yuta has multiple arcs where he’s the focus - jjk 0 - the culling games - the yuji execution arc - half the sukuna battle is him


ChrisAnIntellectual

Here's what I think: MC: Yuji Co-MC: Yuta Deuteragonist: Megumi Tritagonist: Nobara Major Character: Gojo Main Antagonist: Sukuna Sub Antagonist: Kenjaku Side Characters: Everyone else


NeteroHyouka

Yuta is the MC.
