Warning : Contains spoilers for chapter # 259 of Jujutsu Kaisen .
Summary
Jujutsu Kaisenis best bonk for its brutal deaths that even fan - preferred characters are n’t exempt from ; however , the series may have failed to do justice to its belated big character death . The series ' Divine Gege Akutami has never had scruple about killing off case , often to fans ' devastation . That said , evenJujutsu Kaisen ’s tardy chapter ruined what could have been its most tragic death since Gojo .
In chapter # 259 , Choso sacrifice himself to save Yuji from Sukuna ’s Divine Flame proficiency which instantly incinerates Choso who dies tragically give thanks Yuji for being his blood brother . Despite being emotionally loaded the chapterbarely gives fans or Yuji any time to properly process Choso ’s deathasTodo go far on the field of honor .
Despite his crucial role in Yuji ’s character discharge and the fib , Choso ’s last is cover as an inconsequential event and arguably ruin his fiber which thus far had been incredibly well written . Choso ’s rushed dying also weaken his importance to Yuji , who rightfully should have been devastated at the deprivation .
Jujutsu Kaisen brings back a dear character and also hint at another fan - favorite hero ’s return , which could be the Florida key to winning against Sukuna .
Choso’s Rushed Death Undermines His Character
Jujutsu Kaisencreated by Gege Akutami, chapter #259 “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 31”
Despite the unusual offset to their relationship , Choso and Yuji had one of the most wholesome brotherly bonds in the series , not unlike the relationship between Todo and Yuji . While they may have been only half - brothers , Choso was the close thing Yuji had provide to his familyand his loyalty and protectiveness towards Yuji quickly endear his character to many fans .
Given this trueness to Yuji , Choso ’s sacrifice does not arrive as much of a surprisal . One might even argue that Choso had fulfill his narrative design of teachingYuji Blood Manipulationand giving him the support he very much needed after the events of the Shibuya Arc . However , the mode the serial publication promptly brushes past hisdeath treats Choso like the small-scale fiber he was prior to Shibuya , ignore the connexion and contributions he has made since , and the central role he has add up to worry in Yuji ’s life .
Ideally , Choso ’s death should have fueled Yuji ’s passion just as much asNobara and Nanami ’s deaths at Shibuyadid , maybe even have him an additional push not to lose hope against Sukuna , regardless of how many more surprises the King of Curses has left up his arm . In fact , a glance at the series ' other emotionally carry deaths reveals on the dot what was missing from Choso ’s final moments .
Jujutsu Kaisen’s Other Character Deaths Prove What was Lacking in Choso’s Case
Nobara, Mai, and Nanami’s Deaths Were Given Weight and Closure
Jujustu Kaisenhas had its fair contribution of tragical fibre deaths over the yr , some more shocking and abrupt than the rest . That say , every character ’s death thus far has hold weight to it with itseffects and implications on the surround characters portrayed clearlyin the moment . For instance , even though Nobara ’s demise was never explicitly confirmed , the series did give Yuji plenty of time to process what had happened at Shibuya itself . Yuji ’s brief yet vague conversation with Megumi later in chapter # 144 also provided some closure on the affair .
Both Nanami and Nobara ’s demise are some of the most impactful , reminiscent moments in the series , mainly because fans and Yuji were given time to march the loss . The end of these characters felt as though they would will a hold out core on the world of the series because they weregiven time to roleplay out and towboat on the right emotions . EvenGojo ’s rather disconnected deathwas given due stoppage with the entire vista at the airport dedicated to the purpose .
Another interesting comparison isMai ’s brutal death inJujutsu Kaisen , which draws many parallels to Choso ’s dying but was arguably handled much better . Maki also picks herself up rather speedily after Mai ’s expiry , much like Yuji . However , even though Maki does not explicitly express her sorrow , her grief is easy to see and is reflect in her military action as she take revenge on the Zenin Clan .
Chapter # 259 know that Choso ’s death caused Yuji to waver for the very first time on the battlefield . But , unlike Mai and Maki , Choso ’s death does n’t seem to have any visible force on Yuji ’s actions or behavior beyond a few moments . The battle just carries on , instantly taking on a much lighter timbre as Todo joins in , and thus , the series never properly acknowledges Choso ’s demise in any way or provides any closure .
Choso’s Death Signals Trouble For the Finale of Jujutsu Kaisen
Gege Akutami May Be Rushing the Final Battle and the Finale
The manipulation of Choso ’s dying is a clear - cut signal that Gege Akutami is picking up the pace even more than before for the battle , as well as the finale ofJujutsu Kaisen . The serial publication visibly revive its pace after the Culling Games and , as a result , many plot point were never wholly fleshed out or toss entirely . It is unclouded that Akutami is trying to endJujutsu Kaisenas quickly as potential , but this may cease up taking away from the quality of what could be an awful ending to what has been a dramatic story .
While the tides eventually appear to be shift against Sukuna , the pacing of the final pegleg of the battle will be crucial and , if handled hastily , could ruin the finis of the series and all that the fight has ramp up up so far . It is still undecipherable whether the fight at Shinjuku has more tragical last in store , but fans can only desire they are care better than Choso ’s .
Overall , Choso ’s deathhas leave fans ofJujutsu Kaisenequally sad and disappointed , but hopefully , the anime can do Justice Department to Choso ’s character and not allow his end to go in vain . With any fortune , when the dust has steady down at Shinjuku , Yuji will be given a moment to grieve , take into account readers to do the same , but for now , one can only hope that Yuji himself survives until the end to do so .
