Jujutsu Kaisen has always been darker than a typical Shonen series but its latest episode pushes the boundaries on what is acceptable to show.
Warning! Contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 episode #11!Jujutsu Kaisen is no stranger to disturbing imagery, but one episode of Season 2 has completely pushed the boundary on what's acceptable to show in a Shonen anime. It perhaps shouldn't be surprising that a show as dark as Jujutsu Kaisen would push the envelope when it comes to horror and gore. However, it is hard not to be shocked when watching the scene in question given how gruesome it is.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In episode #11 of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, the evil sorcerer Awasaka reminisces about a time before Gojo's birth when he could be free to act however he wanted. He fondly remembers burying living people in the woods until only their heads poked out of the ground and then graphically tearing their faces off.
Jujutsu Kaisen is Pushing the Limits of Gore in Shonen Anime This is by far the most disturbing scene in a Shonen to be animated in such detail. This isn't the first time that the series has featured such a gruesome subject of course. Jujutsu Kaisen's anime even made its villains more disturbing by implying they killed children. Other series have featured some pretty gruesome scenes as well, such as Hunter x Hunter's infamous brain surgery scene in the Chimera Ant arc.
This could be the culmination of a growing trend towards darkness in new Shonen series. Jujutsu Kaisen is a member of the so-called "Dark Trio" that includes Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise, all of which are Shonen Jump series that are considered darker and with a more mature approach compared to their predecessors.
Jujutsu Kaisen Sets A Violent Example For Future Shonen to Follow The fact that Studio MAPPA animates all of those shows could imply that it is the only studio willing to make Shonen series that dark and graphic. However, this would ignore the broader trends in the genre in recent years towards more grotesque imagery.
