Yes, there are several LGBT

Megumi Fushiguro is a pansexual character from Jujutsu Kaisen. Megumi is the deuteragonist of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is a Grade 2 jujutsu sorcerer and first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School alongside Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki. Megumi is the son of Toji Fushiguro and the. The point is, just like you don't declare a character is straight, you don't declare a character is gay.

You just give them a same-sex love intrest and that's it. Yes, there are several LGBT characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. The most prominent of these characters is Yuta Okkotsu, a powerful Curse User who is openly gay and non-binary. Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted. Jujutsu Kaisen dominated early , flooding my timeline again and again with fan art of Satoru Gojo and his ice-like eyes peering at me anytime I opened my phone.

With the praise it received, I thought I would love it just as much as they did. It was clear as I watched that the story paled in comparison to its character, unraveling on itself and leaving me with a disorganized mess, one in which I had no power to clean up.

Still, between the mess, there were still memorable moments that helped remind me that there is always a brighter future ahead, even in a dismal world. Written and illustrated by Gege Akutami and released as a manga in , Jujutsu Kaisen follows the story of high schooler, Yuji Itadori. With the help of his classmates, Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, and his teacher, Satoru Gojo, Yuji Itadori learns how to become a strong fighter, the importance of responsibility, fighting on when you want to quit, and more.

Again, with its praise online, I was sure to love it right away! I did enjoy it, however, I did have some thoughts. Keeping track of who is pulling strings, and who was doing what in this anime felt like a full-time job, bringing me back to my Univision telenovelas days. The fight scenes were choreographed beautifully, the intensity in each battle was a wonder to see on my screen, however once the brawling stopped, the mind-numbingly slow process of having to piece everything else together became a chore.

So I quickly tried to not think too hard about the plot too, and instead embraced the anime as a cool mindless watch. However, trying to rip myself away from the hands of the story is so hard when the characters are so enjoyable. Yet while we see how much death being around Itadori gets in his head, the anime reminds Itadori and viewers that even when things seem bleak, the little silly moments sprinkled throughout convey there is still joy to be found.

The playfulness in between the more distressing moments in Jujutsu Kaisen shows how much light there can be in the dark, but sometimes we miss it because of how tunnel-visioned we might be. When the world effortlessly makes everything around you fall apart, having someone who can look at things differently can change your point of view in a snap, either through genuine care or through manipulation.

While trying to grow, there is always a doubt in the back of your head trying to eat away at any happiness, confidence, or pride you develop. However, like in Jujutsu Kaisen , we have friends like Itadori who find the eventful in the uneventful, willing to make you laugh no matter how dim the light in the room might be. And honestly, a good laugh is sometimes what we need to remind ourselves things are going to be okay.

While the storyline of Jujutsu Kaisen left me puzzled, the constant nudging that living life is full of surprises and joy, as well as some gruesome fights, made it a whirlwind of an anime I could get behind.
