Jujutsu Kaisen burst onto the scene in the early 2020s as a fantastic new shonen action anime, and alongside Chainsaw Man and Hell’s Paradise, it formed what has become colloquially referred to as the Dark Trio. In many ways, Jujutsu Kaisen is a conventional shonen action series in a similar vein as Naruto and Bleach, but it also features strong horror and fantasy elements that separate it from the rest of the genre. Jujutsu Kaisen may not have dragons and kings, but it still makes great use of familiar fantasy tropes to tell a story.Remarkably, Jujutsu Kaisen can blend shonen, action, fantasy, and horror tropes or cliches into a single package. That may help explain Jujutsu Kaisen’s popularity and what makes it stand out in a competitive, crowded field of shonen action anime series that all want to be the next big thing.In Jujutsu Kaisen’s urban fantasy world, curses are the monsters on everyone’s minds, and it’s up to sorcerers like Yuji and his friends to dispatch them. Curses are monsters born of humanity’s negative emotions, with some having an animalisic appearance and others, like Mahito and Choso, having a more humanoid appearance — until they use their abilities, that is.
