1. Most curses look horrid. How come some curses look humanoid?

  2. Does Sukuna only look like Itadori because of the vessel thing?

  3. If Jujutsu High had 6 fingers already, why didn’t they just give them to Itadori too?

  4. Why can’t they just… Desintegrate, burn, destroy, cursed objects?

    Most curses look horrid. How come some curses look humanoid?

    Sometimes it’s because the subject from Japanese folklore was humanoid, sometimes it’s a creative decision based on the nature of rhe curse. Mahito is the cursed manifestation of the human soul, and he’s juat a baby curse.

    Does Sukuna only look like Itadori because of the vessel thing?

    If Sukana were to be in another vessel he would look like that person unless he fully manifests - then he’d look like his old 4 armed 2 faced self.

    If Jujutsu High had 6 fingers already, why didn’t they just give them to Itadori too?

    They fear feeding him too many fingers too quickly could give Sukana too much power.

    Why can’t they just… Desintegrate, burn, destroy, cursed objects?

    Why doesn’t Lex Luther just shoot Superman with an AR15 using hollowpoint rounds? Is he stupid?

        1. I think maybe you’re referring to the curses that can speak like Jogo and Hanami. They’re special grade curses, extremely strong, and so rare even those at the top of Jujutsu society are surprised at they’re ability to communicate. No reason is ever given for why they’re so special, other than they’re the representation of something humans feel a lot of negative energy towards.

    Man, I don’t get most of JJK. I watch because my wife enjoys it, and even she doesn’t get everything. The guy who wrote it is kind of a madman from what I’ve heard, and it makes sense to him and apparently the manga explains it better than the anime does.

    So I just watch it for the fights, and for the green-haired girl with the glasses. I guess she can be best girl.

    That said, this shoulda been the first OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfRTpS58jL8 (fanmade AMV, saw it at a convention, it was a riot)

      I didn’t watch the anime; I like manga better.

      The AMV showed me points that explain what I love about JJK: The fact it’s not 100% serious, the characters also have “silly” moments.

    1. Why can’t they just… Desintegrate, burn, destroy, cursed objects?

    I’m not very far in the show, but it’s an extremely common horror trope that you can’t destroy cursed objects
