Shonen anime is defined by its villains, but Jujutsu Kaisen’s antagonists—from the philosophical complexity of Suguru Geto to the sheer malice of Mahito and Sukuna—feel fundamentally different.

Why do JJK's villains immediately grab our attention and stay with us long after the credits roll?

In this deep dive, we break down the Lure of the Unconventional Villain:

The Power of Ideology: How characters like Geto and Mahito are driven by coherent, twisted belief systems, making them more than just "evil for evil's sake."

Strategic Depth: Analyzing how JJK's antagonists are masters of foresight and planning, playing chess while the heroes scramble.

The Reflection in the Mirror: How Sukuna forces Yuji Itadori to constantly question his own ideals and moral path.

JJK is setting a new standard for antagonists. Find out why they are the true stars of the show!
