I go on having mixed feelings between highly respecting JJK for its unparalleled darkness and brutal realism/cynicism, and being pissed that they introduced a character I find absurdly appealing only to kill him within a few eps (again)
Can't have the one feature without the other, I get that
but it's always the characters whose appeal explodes like fireworks who gotta go out with a short-lived bang while relatively dull characters I do not care about last so much longer than feels merited 😔
On one hand I think it works well every time because sometimes the characters who have the greatest impact on the audience psyche are the ones who appear briefly and leave you wanting more, as opposed to a character whose presence drags on longer than is exciting to witness.
And I think it couldn't be what it is as a story, nor project the level of raw power it does, if not for these brutal narrative decisions
So on one hand I respect the choices.....
....But also I simply wanted to see more of the insanely provocative, exactly-my-type character with the most appealing fighting style/animation I've ever seen 😮💨 He deserved to suffer beautifully for at least two seasons
