The characters inJujutsu Kaisenare among its greatest features. The antagonists that appear throughout the series are just one of the many diverse personalities and attitudes that make up its strong diverse cast. Even though Sukuna, the main antagonist, was first introduced in the first episode, as the plot develops, several otherJujutsu Kaisenvillains eventually make their appearance.
A good number of antagonists inJujutsu Kaisencan maintain their cunning and achieve their objectives at the expense of the protagonists. Some of them have larger objectives, but the majority are motivated by chaos. While each kind of villain is lethal in its unique manner, not all of them possess the strength needed to do damage. But still, they manage to do much harm to the other characters in the series.
However, the strong line of villains have a reason behind them, that makes them much better than any other shonen antagonists. Because of this reason, they were not only able to cause chaos, but they also were able to capture Gojo Satoru, one of the strongest anime characters in history.

Antagonists ofJujutsu Kaisen
As the villains launch their attack on Gojou Satoru and the other jujutsu sorcerers, the Shibuya Incident Arc amply demonstrates to fans just how incredible the antagonists are. They’re all evil and strong, and they each have special abilities and tricks that make them all very scary.
The enemies ofJujutsu Kaisenrange from brutish muscleheads who mainly rely on force to crafty manipulators whose schemes have changed the path of mankind. Even though they’re all significant in some way, some of them can establish themselves as the series’ primary antagonists with just one small deed, while others take their sweet time to reveal their schemes and cause far more mayhem.
One of the best examples of this is how, despite Gojo being one of the strongest characters inJujutsu Kaisen,the antagonists of the series managed to devise a cunning scheme to take him out of the Shibuya Incident arc. This scheme is the sole reason why they are better than any other antagonists in Shonen anime.

Reason BehindJujutsu KaisenVillains Being The Best
Episode 8 of Season 2 features Gojo being forced to fight in the somewhat small space of a subway tunnel by Jogo and Hanami. Gojo’s situation is made more difficult when the curses force a large number of nearby civilians onto the track with them, killing them all in a horrifying act of senseless violence.
Going all out with his techniques would allow Gojo to easily defeat the two curses, but doing so would also result in the deaths of all the innocent bystanders in the station, thus making him a mass murderer. This kind of approach would work against most shonen protagonists, who are fixated on defending the defenseless and abstaining from all forms of violence.

If this tactic worked on Gojo, it would undoubtedly work on other Shonen manga protagonists as well. Since most are far weaker than Gojo, they would probably experience greater emotional distress from witnessing a high number of deaths.
