6 Jujutsu Kaisen Characters Who Deserved Better Endings

Jujutsu Kaisen remembered today as an incredibly tragic story. Over the course of the series, fans have been introduced to some of the biggest and most well-written characters in the entire genre, with many of them commonly considered to be some of the most iconic of the industry's modern era.

But because of the nature of the world Jujutsu Kaisenwhere danger lurks around every corner that even the strongest are not necessarily safe from, it has led to the tragic loss of many lives. So in this article let's go over those in the story who deserved far better endings than the ones they got.

Riko Amanai was just a young girl who deserved much more

Death: Hidden Inventory Arc

Riko Amanai was the central part of the entire Hidden Inventory arc as the Star Plasma Vessel that had to be used as a conduit for Tengen, making her one of the most important characters in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen story. But despite this incredible responsibility, Riko was just a 14-year-old girl at the end of the day who was asked to basically give up her life.

She had already seen a lot of horror, like the death of her parents and family. Finally, Geto told her that she didn't have to go through with the fusion, to which she tearfully agreed. But this brief moment of happiness was ruined by Toji putting a bullet in her head, which also served as one of the main catalysts for Geto's own spiral into madness.

Yuji had to survive everyone he loved

Now live in Modulo

Everyone remembers Yuji as the optimistic young man who has always been the life of pretty much every scene he's been in. Throughout Jujutsu KaisenYuji begins to realize his role as a protector and never lets anything hold him down for very long, always finding a way to help the world however he can.

But his personality i Module is completely different. He never died, as his mysterious body and powers have ensured his immortality, meaning he has been forced to watch all his loved ones grow old or die while he rests at the peak of strength in the environment. This has caused him to be cold and distant, causing him to suffer the intense loneliness that his mentor Gojo also went through.

Yuki met a terrible end against a monster

Death: Culling Game Arc

Probably Jujutsu Kaisen's best female character, Yuki was someone who stole every single scene she was in. As one of the only special class wizards, her strength was incredible, as was her goal, as she sought to make the world a better place by eliminating Cursed Energy from humans, which would ensure that no new Cursed Spirits would be born.

But her direct enemy who went against her beliefs was Kenjaku, one of the most powerful Jujutsu users in history. Their fight was legendary and Yuki really put on a great show. However, due to her allies around her, she could never really go all-out with her strength, leading to her gruesome and untimely demise.

Gojo was used as a weapon throughout his life

Death: Shinjuku Showdown Arc

By far, Satoru Gojo was the most powerful wizard of the modern era and was the only one on Sukuna's level during the filming of the original series. Gojo's strength meant that he was seen more as a weapon than a person throughout his existence, and due to the loneliness that came with such a level of power, Gojo spent much of his life alone without anyone being able to understand him.

Despite this, some even claim that Gojo died exactly as he would have wanted. Honing his skills and strength for years, Gojo finally got to use them against someone who could keep up. In the end, Gojo's death may seem sufficient for what he wanted, but his life as a weapon still shows that he deserved better overall.

Nanami returned to Jujutsu with no sense of duty

Death: Shibuya Incident Arc

Nanami quickly became a fan-favorite character ever since his introduction to the story. As another mentor to Yuji, Nanami's lessons and comments always came across as wisdom and his dynamic with Yuji made for one of the most entertaining aspects of the earlier part of Jujutsu Kaisen story.

Nanami eventually left her life as a wizard because of the danger it posed. But after working a normal job for a while, he saw how much Cursed Spirits infected everyday life, so he decided to come back out of a sense of responsibility, even though he never really wanted to. But in this line he eventually met his end, doing what he hated while thinking about how he wants to retreat to Malaysia. With his last breath, he entrusts everything to Yuji in one of the most heartbreaking scenes of the series.

All Choso ever wanted was to help his younger brothers

Death: Shinjuku Showdown Arc

In perhaps the most tragic death scene in the entire series, Choso gave his life to save Yuji from certain death from Sukuna's furnace attack. Although he started out as a villain, Choso redeemed himself due to his devotion to Yuji and his dedication to protecting his younger brothers.

In the course of Jujutsu KaisenChoso showed his true, heroic side, often willing to face impossible odds just to ensure the safety and prosperity of his brother Yuji. What makes it even sadder is the fact that, i ModuleChoso would have been the only one to stay with Yuji after all these decades, which would have given Yuji company to save him from the utter loneliness he was facing right now.

Jujutsu Kaisen can be streamed on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
