Beneath the surface of Jujutsu Kaisen's story lies a complex philosophy of Gege Akutami; What if Yuji was never meant to be the main character?

The line between good and evil is blurred in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. As the series has long captivated viewers with its exploration of what it means to be right or wrong, it is well known for its dark themes and morally gray characters. This ambiguous nature led to many fan theories and speculations that attempt to analyze Gege Akutami's true intent throughout the story.

Fans have pointed out that despite being named the main character, Yuji Itadori rarely gets a chance to shine and is often overlooked by other powerful and interesting characters. Yuta Okkotsu is also often forgotten by the author for most of the story. These occasions resulted in some interesting hypotheses showing that the true frontman of the Jujutsu Kaisen has always been Ryomen Sukuna, not Yuta or Yuji.

Through the story of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami has always illustrated the moral ambiguities of people. From complex characters like Suguru Geto to Toji Fushiguro, most of them show a multi-layered aspect through their actions and beliefs despite committing heinous acts.
