While fusing unreservedly macabre horror elements into the central narrative, Jujutsu Kaisen never hesitates to go dark. It shows that one does not have to take themselves too seriously when telling a story about horrifying things. The desire or need for filler is also eliminated by Jujutsu Kaisen, which concentrates on the key elements of its source material.
