Theories

I love getting lost in theorycrafting, but I also like keeping my feet on the ground: the best theories are the ones you can actually prove with the text. Here I want to walk you through my process for teasing out Sukuna’s “true goal” using only textual evidence from the manga — no anime-only scenes, no author interviews, no outside speculation. If you want to build a defensible theory that holds up in debate threads and comment...

I still remember the first time I tried to explain cursed spirits to a newcomer at a convention panel — and watched their eyes glaze over when I started with "well, it's complicated." Over the years of writing for Jujutsukaisen Co (https://www.jujutsukaisen.co.uk) and digging through the manga and anime, I've noticed a handful of misconceptions that keep showing up in fandom discussions. Some are harmless shorthand, others actively warp how...

I love picking at the tiny moments in Jujutsu Kaisen — the way a glance is held too long, an offhand line delivered with a crooked smile, or a gesture that seems to repeat later with lethal intent. Those subtle beats are the storytelling breadcrumbs that hint at future alliances and betrayals, and as someone who re-watches scenes for fun (and work), I’m constantly looking for them. Below I share the small, easily-missed character moments...

Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen moves fast, but if you rewatch with an eye for detail you'll notice the anime quietly seeds a lot of future payoffs. I love hunting these little beats — they make the series feel meticulously planned, and they reward patient viewers when later arcs land. Below I unpack subtle moments from Season 1 that I think hint at later developments. Some are visual cues, some are throwaway lines, and some are tonal choices that...

I still remember the first time I paused an episode of Jujutsu Kaisen to scribble notes: "Wait, how does cursed energy actually work?" The show makes it thrilling and mysterious, but once you start paying attention, a set of patterns — or rules — emerges. Over the years of writing for Jujutsukaisen.co.uk and nerding out with other fans, I've boiled those patterns down into simple, usable rules and real examples you can spot in the anime and...

I’ve always felt like Megumi Fushiguro is the kind of character who grows more impressive the more you pay attention. On the surface he’s calm, a little dour, and seems content to let others take the spotlight. But once you start unpacking his Ten Shadows Technique and the hints about his domain potential, a different picture emerges: one of subtle, flexible power that could become terrifyingly efficient in the right hands. In this piece I...

I still remember the first time I saw Sukuna’s fingers on screen — that chilling shot of those severed digits encased and cataloged like macabre artifacts. As a longtime fan, I immediately felt the dread and curiosity that the series expertly cultivates around them. Over the years I've rewatched episodes, reread chapters, and dug through community theories, and one thing keeps coming back: those fingers aren’t just dangerous — they’re...

I’ve always been fascinated by Gojo Satoru’s blindfold — it’s one of those iconic designs that immediately signals mystery, power, and a touch of showmanship. But beyond the cool factor, fans keep asking: How did Gojo get his blindfold, and what is it really hiding? In this piece I’m diving into the lore, the mechanics of his abilities, the implications of the Six Eyes and Limitless, and the storytelling reasons for that enigmatic...
