On the internet, all Jujutsu Kaisen fans can talk about is Yuta Okkotsu. After all, his entry in the season 2 finale of the anime after being away for the entirety of the season has taken everyone’s breath away.ย 

Many are now eagerly waiting for season 3 to begin so that they can see what he brings to the table. Will he be a villain, a hero, or someone in between? Such discourse has flooded social media. 

This has made many wonder if Yuta is the series’ main character rather than Yuji Itadori. So, who is actually the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen?

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen anime and manga.

Yuji Itadori, not Yuta Okkotsu, is undeniably Jujutsu Kaisen’s main character. Both are powerful, but Yuji’s thematic importance makes him the undeniable protagonist. Yuji’s selflessness contrasts with self-serving sorcerers, aligning with the manga’s core philosophy. Also, his role as Sukuna’s vessel kickstarted the plot, shaping the story significantly.

Explained: Who Is Jujutsu Kaisen’s Protagonist? Why Is There a Doubt?

The debate over the true main character of Gege Akutami’s manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, has been a hot topic among fans, particularly focusing on Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori.ย 

With Yuta’s return in the season 2 finale and his declaration to kill Yuji, the discussion has intensified, leading many to wonder if this showdown will settle the matter once and for all.

To determine the top protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, we must consider various aspects of both characters.

Yuta and Yuji have both had their moments in the spotlight.ย 

Each was saved from execution by Satoru Gojo, and both became student sorcerers. They each possess unique abilities that set them apart in the world of Jujutsu.

However, in terms of plot relevance in the main series, the title undeniably belongs to Yuji. 

While Yuji doesn’t necessarily follow the traditional Shonen protagonist archetype of always being the strongest character, he is undeniably more present in the series.

Yuta’s appearance in the main series didn’t occur until chapter 173 of the manga, which isn’t characteristic of a main character.

Also, regarding power levels, the main character debate should not revolve solely around power levels. 

Yuji’s role as the series’ focal point extends beyond his strength. He embodies crucial thematic elements of the story.

Jujutsu sorcerers and Curses in the series are typically self-serving, prioritizing their own interests. 

In stark contrast, Yuji is a selfless individual driven by the desire to help others, disregarding strength and status. This contrast is a central theme in the series, highlighting Yuji’s significance.

Thematically, Yuji’s character arc aligns with the core philosophy of Akutami’s manga, where selfishness often prevails.

So, his selflessness and determination to push forward despite adversity are vital elements in the story’s narrative.

Furthermore, Yuji is the true linchpin of Jujutsu Kaisen’s plot.

His consumption of Sukuna’s fingers and becoming the vessel for the Curse King kickstarted the main narrative, leading to a cascade of events that shaped the story. Yuji’s significance to the series cannot be overstated.

On the other hand, Yuta did advance the plot by killing Suguru Geto and providing Kenjaku with a suitable body. However, one could argue that this outcome might have been achieved regardless.

The Yuta vs. Yuji debate regarding the true main character of Jujutsu Kaisen will likely persist until the series reaches its conclusion. 

Regardless of the outcome, fans hope that both characters will continue playing significant roles in the series and have character arcs that remain consistent with their development throughout the story. 

Q: โ€œYuta or Yuji, who's the best protagonist?โ€

Meanwhile I say screw that discourse and appreciate both of these amazingly written MCs!

The unique qualities each character brings to the narrative contribute to the richness and complexity of Jujutsu Kaisen’s world.

Who is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, in your opinion? Are you team Yuta or team Yuji?
