Jujutsu Kaisen is a manga that suffered from a rushed start but at the same time a development that made any other alternative impossible. It's not that there weren't interesting things to cover, it's just that the two main antagonists, regardless of who took the position of ultimate threat, were the same.
It's important to mention that the work never abandoned what it did in Shibuya, that is, story lapses that focused on being a transition to something bigger while the characters were forced to adapt or perish (or be irrelevant, almost the same).
Personally, I'm not one of those who believes that a good work must
...
necessarily give everyone a flashback and a fight to shine, it is necessary to get into your head what a secondary character and a protagonist mean. Even this is something that could not be criticized, because the Sacrifice Games and the fight against Sukuna gave their respective time of context to each relevant secondary character without cutting the rhythm of the story.
Thus, the only real problem is that the work never reached that peak of Hidden Inventory of not only exploiting the power system to the maximum, but creating a development not so much individually as at the work level. The themes that are exposed in those few episodes of Gojo's past are hardly ever discussed again, less when after that everything is a fight to survive where there is only room to strengthen the capabilities of each character.
Even so, Jujutsu Kaisen is satisfying as well as frustrating to watch. It must be understood that the work prioritized the substance, that is why, except perhaps for Gojo and Itadori, I can hardly speak on an individual level about any character because most of them are mechanisms that work together.
It has errors like any work, but I must say that it broke very few dishes, I can put it on par with Demon Slayer and not blame it for not aspiring to more in terms of narrative but I do appreciate the spectacle.
This is one of the mangas that I have enjoyed the most, and I will also defend that Gojo deserves a place among those well-written characters that transcend, so thanks Gege despite everything.
