I keep thinking about it but I feel like even if it was executed well. Megumi was bound to be universally hated as his character arc was that he was Powerscalers' biggest wet dream only to find out Megumi intentionally never wanted to be the strongest or top 3 in the verse and chose to live like a loser.
People just didn't like when a character doesn't win at anything even if the ingredients are all there.
>>
>>287645962
I think fans and the story itself hype up 10S way too much when the truth is that it's really just Mahoraga that outright carries the technique to special grade status.

Still have no clue why everyone is obsessed with hating on Megumi. He was underwhelming but I don't think he was THAT bad

>>287646220
Underwhelming is a nice term to put it that way

When it comes to one of the most disappointing characters in anime. Megumi is at the very top for how pointless he is in retrospect

People are too obsessed that Megumi's arc was about realizing his potential as a special grade sorcerer and when that didn't deliver, they declared him one of the worst characters in shonen

He might got despised by the powerscalers, but at least people with a functional brain would’ve liked him.
It just need so much, just look at Eren during Uprising, RTS and Marley arc.
He got all the memes for how useless and kidnapped he was most of the times, but his strong parts like chapter 70 cemented him into one of the most liked protagonists….until the last 20 chapters.

Megumi could’ve been slandered by memes but still get a powerful and liked presence, instead what he got is people advocating his failure with “hur dur people can’t understand DEPRESSION,im so smart”.
And getting defended by these faggots is a worse slander than anything else
>>
You are not ready for Yuko's epilogue

I think Modulo Yuji proved that you can have the shittiest character writing and still be liked as long as you have AURA and top tier feats
So in the end, people only like you if you're strong and not weak and depressing

Megumi being the resident emo as his personality did more damage because people really expected him to be top tier but we all know emo characters aren't really interesting and only liked for their strength. Dating back to Sasuke.

If he was more open and have an outgoing personality, then his fraudulent status would've been more obvious
>>
>>287646425
You mean Maru and Dabura, right?
dabura is literally Megumi’s plot but his sister is even less of a character than tsumiki.
And people liked maru just because he is secretly the key to solve everything bad in the setting.

People actually DESPISED how yuji got written in MIDulo
>>
>>287646470
>Maru
I'll give you Dabura but people do not like Maru and I don't think he even has real fans
>>
Is incredible how far retards will dweel in order to defend Gege’s shitty writing.
This is JJK’s legacy by the way.
A massive pile of shitty hypocrites trying to defend a retard that deserved to be haxed
>>
I can't imagine what's it like being a Megumi fan nowadays knowing almost all of the fans hate that specific character and every discussion surrounding him is calling a bum or fraud or potential man.
And this isn't like stuff hating Sakura or Mineta where in the greater scope, they're not important characters but Megumi is so it's hard to avoid the discourse.
>>
>>287646525
Yeah, the hate for him is unreal. I never seen such a character so despised that it makes me wonder if authors will just stick to writing the most cliched edgy rival as to avoid another Megumi knowing trying to deviate that will result in getting dogpiled
>>
>>287646525
>>287646568
I don't think he's that despised but he's the rare exception of a character who is both overrated and severely underrated at the same time.

Like his fans don't want to admit he got fumbled but his haters are way too harsh on him as if he personally killed their loved ones.
>>
>>287646568
> trying to deviate that will result in getting dogpiled

THAN YOU MUST WRITE IT GOOD
WHICH IS NOT WHAT GEGE DID!
STOP DEFENDING THAT FAGGOT
I WON’T REPEAT IT ANYMORE!
>>
>>287646604
I don't think you understand. When an edgy rival's most notable trait is that he's meant to be the strong and cool one, not fulfilling that because he's a subversion will regardless get hated on. There's no other route for those kinds of characters
>>
>>287646525
His reputation is so bad that people get insulted if you compare another character to Megumi or even have Megumi in some cool fanart with another character.
I've never seen such disdain.
>>
>>287646629
ANON, FOR CHRIST SAKE!
PEOPLE LIKE MEGUMI BECAUSE HE WAS ACTUALLY THE FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE RIVAL/FRIEND OF YUJI.
NO ONE REALLY CARED ABOUT A SUPER DEEP EVIL ARC OF ITH HIM


PROPLE JUST WANTED FROM HIM AN ACTUAL EVOLUTION!
A BETTER FLASHING OUT OF HIS RELETIONSHIP WITH TSUMIKI
LEARNING TO VALUE HIS OWN LIFE LIKE GEGE WAS PRETENDING TO FORESHADOWING DURING THE BATTLE WITH THE FINGER BEARER AND HIS HALF DOMAIN EXPANSION
TO FINALLY GETTING OVER THE USE OF MAKORA AND RELIE ON HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS, LIKE HE PRETENDED TO FORESHADOW WITH REGGIE


AND INSTEAD…HE GOT NOTHING!
THAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM!
And WHY GEGE IS A FUCKING HACK!

With how much people hate Megumi, you'd think fans would create their own JJK that literally does not have him.

How would you go around writing around that? Kenny somehow slipping a finger inside Yuji's mouth as he sleeps?

NO GEGE IS THE SUPER BEST WRITER IN THE WORLD
JJKFAGS ARE SIMPLY MANCHILDREN TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND HIS PROFOUND AND SUPER DEEP WRITING
ALSO RIKE YUTA!

Megumi is genuinely loved in Japan and as far as that country goes, it's the only one that matters on who gets merch and art. No matter how much the West and Gege despised him.
>>
Megumi is definitely a character Gege regretted creating because how in the world he created someone more pathetic than Deku and Eren at their lowest?
I repeat, at their lowest
>>
I don't get it. I just read JJK recently and I liked Megumi. Is the problem that he didn't complete a character arc? Because none of the characters did, Gege doesn't care about stuff like that. He's not a storyteller, he cares more about realism. It doesn't make sense that a bunch of 16-year olds would realize their dreams and meet their potential in 6 months. But Kenjaku and Sukuna were attacking now, so they had to act now.

Megumi was strong, he soloed a special grade curse and an incarnated sorcerer. He tried to save his sister and failed so fell into depression but Yuji saved him from Sukuna like he did for him back at the detention center. That's a perfectly fine way for the story to go. It's not like he could've helped much to resist Sukuna, Yuji was bred for it, other characters can't just do that.

Did people want him to bust out of Sukuna himself and with ki bursting out of him and go, "It's over for you, Sukuna, because you hurt my friends"? This isn't Dragon Ball slop.

Kill yourself
>>
>>287647438
I think Gojo is the only one you can confidently say he has a completed arc. Yuji was denied anything to do with Kenjaku despite being mother and son. Yuta was already finished back in 0 so he's just a special guest in JJK. Nobara had no arc to begin with. And Megumi is problematic but I'm sure everyone knows that by now
>>
>>287648232
I was about to say Sukuna but there's nothing about his past from the Heian era. We all just assumed people bullied him because he's ugly and went school shooter mode but with extra firepower
>>
>>287648232
I really don't get what was the point of Kenny being Yuji's mom. I think Gege only did that just to say Kenjaku was willing to have gay sex
>>
>>287647438
The manga itself is wasted potential but Megumi is more or less the character the embodies all the problems with JJK so people shit on that particular character to vent their frustrations on the story. I do think the hate for him is so overblown though.
>>
>>287645622
Kirara would be one of the cutest girls* in JJK without the piercings desu. Just realized her hair looks kinda like Erice's.

>>287646470
>>287646486
I thought Maru being a recovering seether under the fluffy Suletta (male) exterior was kinda neat. But the whole alien plotline still felt so out-of-nowhere, and he's the face of that.
>>
>>287649404
Also that ending was terrible. Did it even show how he met Yuji? It felt like I missed a chapter in there.
>>
>>287649444
Maru fucking sucks in general
>>
>>287646470
Maru was shitted on hard for how plot convenient he really ended up being. His power is a literal plot writer that he finds convenient to his needs. Dabura is the only genuinely liked Modulo character.

>megumi is hated within the dedicated fanbase
>But he is also hated among casual viewers since they were also exposed to other shonen and saw how mediocre Megumi is by comparison
>Hated in the universe and has suffered the worst
>Also hated the most by its own author
Megumi's mere existence is just really pathetic. Why is Gege still insistent on not fixing him? Megumi is still his creation.
>>
>>287647438
>realism
hahaha

JP JJK fans must be a different breed because going through that guy's meme account. I barely see any Megumi related memes. In fact, non existent outside of the giving up image. They really are a different breed

That guy seems to like posting memes about Maki and Mai's dad for some reason.
>>
>>287646470

Pretty sure that's the reason no one likes him instead. He's basically Takaba but without the balancing factor of being Takaba.
>>
>>287646470
>People like Maru
I know people exaggerate about Megumi hate but he has plenty of fans. I really do not see people liking Maru and made worse when he really is just a plot device ex machina
>>
Maru felt like a weird attempt on a what if scenario of Yuji and Sukuna being twins at the same time except the Yuji in question has a schizo personality. Likewise. Tsurugi felt like a fixed attempt of Megumi's issues but he came across as really boring as he really was the generic stoic older brother
>>
>>287647438
People just don't like realism in their fantasy stories which I can understand. Megumi suddenly acting like how a depressed 16yr old would be after he lost his only family and with all the pressure of having the potential of being the next Gojo. He acted exactly how would you think someone real would do but since people wanted Megumi to be the chad prodigy who suddenly does everything. It didn't work.
Like I said, Megumi's arc was never going to be received well because it was built on false promises on what Megumi never got to be. No one wants a character, especially a major one, end up like a victim and stayed like one without fighting back his oppresor. A damsel doesn't work when we all know the character can fight back.
>>
>>287652334
Probably is you have Yuji who has even worse of a baggage than Megumi, yet he still pushes on. Yuji got back to fighting after a peptalk by Todo; Megumi let Choso die and Yuta get a nasty scar because he refused help at the 1st attempt.
>>
>>287652416
>Probably
*Problem
>>
>>287652416
>>287652443
That's what I said. Megumi stayed a victim because that's the most realistic action you would expect. Yuji is just a freak of nature. He never functioned normally
>>
>>287645962
>>287646220
Gege just doesn't care about the character and it's pretty obvious with Modulo. That's all.
>>
Megumi has got to have the most fucked up reputation out of any anime character, no?
>>
>>287652527
>Yuji is just a freak of nature. He never functioned normally
That would be if Yuji just said "whatever" and kept going, but he DID have his depression moments as well. Megumi (and Nobara) did have a moment where they were more unhinged than Yuji, but that happened to be in the arc where it seemed they were going to do something else before Gege decided to scratch that off the list.
>>
>>287646470
>People
It was mostly here though.
>>
>>287652619
There are countless threads, video essays, and whatnot detailing how much they hate Megumi. His reputation is beyond fucked when even the likes of Sakura and Deku were never shifted on this hard
>>
Megumi is just the ultimate example of
>Loved by women
>Hated by men
Good thing for Megumi is that JJK's actual paying fans are women while the men just spend all the day making slander memes
>>
>>287653002
Compared to Sasuke and Hitsguya. Who got it worse when it comes to only being liked by women?

What people hated is that despite the buildup there was no catharsis. There wasn't even the acknowledgement of failure, so it felt like yet another dropped plotline (which it was).
>>
I think I can actually write a better character development and Plot than Gege and I'm mostly into fetish stuff. Hell, I could actually do Megumi better because I would actually have him do stuff
>>
>>287654529
Doujin artists might unironically write a more cohesive plot than Gege. He's really only good for fights.
>>
>>287653139
Hitsugaya. Everyone else shits on him due to how hard Aizen goes at trolling him.
>>
>>287655587
But it's Aizen though. Literally everyone loses to him
>>
>>287655796
Even Aizen himself seemed to hate Hitsugaya way more than the other Captains. The Momo play was the move of a hater.

Holding this opinion after sukuna showed you can use their power on yourself like he did with elephant water to copy piercing blood is disappointing anon
Its the most versatile technique in the verse

Dabura himself proves people only care about power because he's a megumi that does reach his potential and saves his sister

On the other hand, it's funny how Gege regretted not giving focus to Tsumiki, then made an even worse Tsumiki.
>>
>>287656317
He's a mix of Megumi and Gojo, like how Tsurugi is a mix of Megumi and Maki and Maru is a mix of Yuta and Yuji.
>>
>>287656746
Tsurugi is nothing like Maki

I just finished reading the manga the other day, I have a few questions

>What was the need for that chapter about Simple Domain? Felt like it was starting a new arc only to have the manga end a few chapters later
>Was that actually Kenjaku with Takaba in the final chapters?
>Who was the woman to the right of Sukuna's "two chances"? I'm assuming the person on the right is Uraume
>>
>>287657707
>What was the need for that chapter about Simple Domain? Felt like it was starting a new arc only to have the manga end a few chapters later
The actual function was Gege answering 2chan complaints about the ridiculous number of plans and contingencies the cast had. And I guess just answering why didn't everyone in Jujutsu High already know Simple Domain.
>Was that actually Kenjaku with Takaba in the final chapters?
That's up to interpretation. Either Takaba's CT literally revived Kenjaku as his comedy partner or he simply found a guy that looked like Geto.
>Who was the woman to the right of Sukuna's "two chances"? I'm assuming the person on the right is Uraume
We don't know. Presumably someone who took care of Sukuna when he was young since he was some sort of refined with his knowledge of cooking.

To explain why everyone didn't just have it at the start. It being a gatekept secret does make sense.
>>Was that actually Kenjaku with Takaba in the final chapters?
Mmmmaybe. Never explained and wasn't mentioned in Modulo. It could be, Takaba's powers run on nonsense.
>>Who was the woman to the right of Sukuna's "two chances"?
Perhaps someone who did try to show him the right path before. It's not explained.
