Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't oversexualize it's girls, but what about the boys?

Yuki not getting ecchi scenes would be a crime

Now I'm sad that there's no female fanservice:(

Trvshy said:


Uhm okay lmao, you are weird. Maybe you should get help or something, you clearly got something going on. But yes let's end this here.

deg said:


we might get it later lol who knows my bet is Yuki will have some ecchi fanservice too

IPFdomain said:
I'm just waiting for the Mai Maki and Kugisaki fanservice, need that expeditiously

FMmatron said:





I would be so down for it. And if done right it will only add to the series merits. A win for everyone.

IPFdomain said:
Agreed, finna dm JJK's creator on twitter💯💯💯

I wonder what guys like @IpreferEcchi think about lack of fanservice, but rivalry among females?

Agonophilia covers a broad range of sexual arousal, from fighting paraphernalia (boxing gloves, protective cups, headgear, mouthpieces, satin trunks) and through the actual engagement in fighting (legitimate or fantasy). For those who actually fight the arousal is multi-dimensional. The combination of fighting gear, the physical contact with the opponent, inflicting and sustaining injury, and the actual fight is indescribable.

Girls beating the shit out of each other is fanservice to me.

I'm an Agonophile.

Actually, I have noticed that there is a bit of fanservise aimed at the female audience. In most of Sukuna's scenes, he comes out with Itadori's naked body.

You could tell me that I am being delicate with the fanservice, since the fact that Sukuna appears with Itadori's naked body is consistent. But even so, I imagine a man might consider it a fanservise if Itadori were a female character.

The fact that most of the male characters are handsome and well-bodied also seems pretentious.

I'm not complaining about anything, I don't mind fanservice as long as they don't abuse it too much. However, scenes that can be considered fanservice have them.

This has literally nothing to do with anything but I really liked Yujis White Hair in the Manga Cover Art I dont really like the pink hair that much in the anime

deg said:
lol later threads will conclude this show is Shoujo and not Shonen anymore since the fan girls win

FMmatron said:


I also thought Mahito would have purple hair lol

juandmarco said:


There's actually a magazine that describes itself as a shonen magazine for girls. I forgot the name tho.



His hair is pink in the manga too tho. That pic is the exception and not the rule.

FMmatron said:


Which character do you mean, Mahito or Itadori?

snowykevin said:
my rating would easily go from a 6 to a 7 if I could see some nobara fanservice

juandmarco said:


I meant Itadori.

(character min is annoying)

Noir_Alchemist said:
Funny enought i havent seen a single female fangirl over the boys without shirt like itadori or itadori besto frendo hahahhahaha

Girls like gojou, cuz he is beautiful, and has beautiful eyes, and well, he has not a single scene withot a tshirt that im aware or remember tho...

So, how a beautiful men is now sexualised ???? Such a reach lol

FMmatron said:


> They're not sexualized, but their portrayal could be considered low-key more fanservice-esque


That was from my opening post

Is aynone reading it at all? XD

FMmatron said:


I also thought Mahito would have purple hair lol

Noir_Alchemist said:


Sorry op, but being fair i guess is cuz you decide to use a tittle bait hahahahha

korix_ said:
It is a bit of a reach, but it's fair. Jjk does seem like a show that would garner a larger female audience than your average shonen. It doesn't specifically target males bc no tiddies :(
It also has a charismatic cast that girls would like cause they're either sympathetic "soft cinnamon rolls" or they're hot.
However, the show still treats all it's characters equally. And personally, I find them all attractive regardless of gender. If you're loosely assigning tropes that people like, it can probably be done to the girls as well like:
Miwa-ditzy and cute, would probably listen to you and take care of you
Nobura-girly yet confident, being with her would be non stop fun
Maki- I would let her kick my ass (that counts a trope, right?)
Anyway, I wouldn't consider using tropes fanservice. I never even noticed this so idk if it's intentional. The male cast does seem to have way more variety though.

I don't think any of them are overly sexualized. Just devoid of normal male gaze oriented fanservice. Also "bad boy type" isn't equal to "domestic abusers". And it's not funny

ImNOTAmOtaku said:
Nah, but you know what anime oversexualize it's boys? AOT

I mean, look at Eren, he's always shirtless showing this god damn beautiful abs

FMmatron said:


You made some valid points I can agree with, but let me clarify a few things which lead me to my theory.

Treating characters "equally" can make a difference. If you take a look at some examples of fanservice shows aimed at girls and boys you can see that there's no equal treatment. That's because the respective audience is (from a marketing pov in this case) fundamentally different from each other. Also in terms of responsiveness. So what appeals to girls doesn't necessarily have to appeal to guys and vice versa.

Using tropes is ineed not fanservice per se, but they can be utilized for that purpose, depending on context and timing. Ok I'm drifting away lol

I feel like the guy stereotypes in JJK are clearly defined whereas the girls  depiction is rather loose, especially compared to the typical waifu characters from other series. Then again, you could argue that the series wanted to succeed with female characters that shine through their personality, which it did btw. However, from what I've seen it can hardly be denied that appeareancewise they didn't make as much noise as the guys, add an unsual lack of skin, as well as how they guys were portrayed so far. It's a noticeable contrast I haven't seen in any other popular battle shounen with a mixed cast. Maybe I started perceiving it that way because of stronger reactions from the female audience. Even tho, the fanservice-esque moments could just as well be more of a by-product than done intentionally. So yeah, in the end it's a sum of things and a matter of perspective that lead me to my conclusion.

korix_ said:


I don't see how there's no equal treatment depending on who the fanservice is aimed at, they're both fundamentally appealing to the same types of desires. Fanservice aimed at girls would be something like Free! when it comes to showing skin, or anything with fujobait. Yeah, there is a difference in the audience. Girls are probably easier to satisfy by just having inticing characters regardless of whether the show is sexual in nature, but having good characters isn't fanservice. I think the reaction from the female audience is just due to JJK's popularity. When it comes to shonens, the male characters have always been more popular than the females. Having a fan favorite character like Gojo or Levi or Bakugo is a staple in almost every show. So I don't find the JJK cast to be that different from your average shonen. I think we're just so used to series having girls show an excessive amount of skin that something like JJK feels jarring when it should be normal.

Out of curiosity, which waifu tropes are you looking out for in particular? Nobura does have a bit of tsundere in her. Mai fits the high-maintenance rich girl who's full of herself. Or are they not waifus unless they're sexualized and simping for the protagonist. Lol am I just not cultured enough.

I see your point though. When it comes to the JJK girls, most of them are headstrong and confident which means less variety. But then again, the male characters are more prominent, and there are more guys than girls in the cast which means more opportunities for different characters. I'm not caught up on the manga, but more girls are bound to show up down the line. Todo's teacher from the last episode definitely seemed promising.

korix_ said:
We're really just disagreeing on a few specifics here. It was a good discussion nonetheless.

deg said:


Mai and Maki are sexy as fuck as well as the teacher of Todo but ye dont expect ecchi scenes though

neromxxn said:
Mai and Maki are like 16 :/

_-_Sally_-_ said:


He looks like crap to me. Actually, all the guys in this anime look like crap.

I don't plan on ever watching it.

Rubbish_taste said:
Eh I don’t think that the dudes are sexualized, nor the girls. All the characters look good though (in terms of design).

_-_Sally_-_ said:


It's something that I simply cannot help. I always feel alone in everything, and that I never belong anywhere. I could sit here all day, and complain about other things, like how your avatar grosses me out, but I guess that wouldn't be nice, so I'll end the conversation here.
