What important themes are raised in the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen"?

• The webpage contains a thematic analysis of disorder in Jujutsu Kaisen.
• The author begins by analyzing the themes of disorder in JJK by discussing idealistic, alone yet still “strong” and kind person that is not real in society and how people misuse ideals and set themselves up to fail.
• The author then compares Itadori and Geto’s characters, stating that Itadori becomes more authentic when he is put into a desperate corner, exhibiting human emotions like anger, confusion, and fear. Geto and Itadori both set themselves up for failure by striving towards an ideal that is not achievable.
• The author further analyzes the character of Mahito, feeling that in the end, he ran away from Itadori but only followed his own ideals to the end. He is the dark mirror to the idealism humans strive for, which is pointed out by the author.
• The author then goes on to point out the contradictions existing in Jujutsu society and how they operate. The special grade curses each have their own “pure” ideal and morality, uncomplicated by human nature. Jujutsu society is corrupt and rotten at its core, building a rotten society that makes it weak and vulnerable.
• The author also points out how Junpei desperately wanted to put indifference on a pedestal, but in the end, he’s still defining himself by ways that he wants to reject. Why do people define good and bad like that in the first place? The author postulates it’s because humans want to seek happiness, which is why there is no human happiness in Jujutsu.
• The author states that in Jujutsu society, there is no human happiness despite the fact that sorcerers are still human.
• The author analyzes Gojo’s character, calling him a steady support propping up a rotten plank of wood. While Gojo tends to get blamed for things that aren’t his fault, the power of one person is still limited. Kenjaku wants to go beyond his own human potential, and the only way it can happen is by having many people working together to reach it.
• The comments section from readers offer additional insights and perspectives, particularly on Gojo’s role in the show, how Geto impacted his outlook, and how Tengen’s position is seen as perpetuating a twisted disordered order.
• The comments also mention the characters Gojo and Yuuji, both of whom stand against the disorder and hope for a new order.
• One commentator raises the

• Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, gets a lot of inspiration from physics and mathematics.
• The power system of Jujutsu Kaisen is based on the concept of cursed energy, which is a negative physical energy.
• Reverse cursed energy can be used for healing, since it “creates” new tissue.
• Curses are collections of positive energy.
• Special Grade sorcerers have seemingly infinite energy, which makes them very rare and powerful.
• Yuki Tsukumo’s cursed technique is based on the concept of imaginary mass from the theory of special relativity.
• Yuta Okkotsu’s cursed technique is based on the concept of limitless curse energy, which his counterpart Rika possesses.
• Hajime Kashimo’s curse technique uses the concept of electromagnetism, with him being able to create charges and attach them to objects or people. The force of the hit is proportional to how much charge has accumulated.
• Suguru Geto’s cursed technique is based on energy manipulation and cursed spirits absorption.
• Kenjaku’s cursed technique allows him to manipulate gravity, based on Newton’s laws of gravity.
• Satoru Gojo’s abilities include the Six Eyes, Infinity, Blue, and Red, and are based on the theories of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
• The Six Eyes grant Gojo complete knowledge of physics.
• Infinity creates an “event horizon” that repels everything, effectively creating invincibility.
• Blue causes convergence, making anything converge to a chosen point in space.
• Red causes divergence, making anything repel from a chosen point in space.
• Purple can annihilate anything and everything it comes in contact with, making it one of the most destructive cursed techniques.
• Ryomen Sukuna has the ability to create and destroy concepts, based on the concept of perfect cursed energy.
• Sukuna is considered the embodiment of “True Jujutsu”, which is the control over concepts that are independent of actual energy.
• To be “enlightened” in the Jujutsu Kaisen world means to have the ability to create or eliminate things from existence in the real world.
