It’s really disappointing that people are just NOW realizing how great of a villain Mahito was.

Because I’m sorry to all you Sukuna fans out there, but Mahito is the best villain in JuJutsu Kaisen. He perfectly played his role as a character you can’t help but despise. How he goes out of his way to kill people simply because it will bring Yuji despair, and how he’s the perfect reflection of Yuji’s cycle of killing curses. It’s all great. And don’t lie , you were screaming for Yuji to kill him in the field, we all were.

His fight with Yuji at the end of the Shibuya arc is still the best sequence in the entire story and I don’t see that ever changing. And what makes this so great is that this dynamic had been setup in an earlier arc. I’ve said this before but JJK’s biggest problem is how most of its fights have no emotional significance. They’re fun to read through, but they aren’t things you’ll look back on with great fondness. Well this is the one exception to that. And this is the only fight where both characters have an established relationship.
