Jujutsu Kaisen season 2: Mei Mei's controversial scene with Ui Ui draws comparisons to Himeno from Chainsaw Man
Besides the tragic deaths of Kento Nanami and Nobara Kugisaki, fans have been anticipating the animated debut of another notorious scene in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2. Although this scene didn't involve the untimely demise of any other cherished character, it did result in damage to Mei Mei's reputation and left the audience feeling appalled.
Fans were shocked in episode 22 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 when Mei Mei revealed that she had left her comrades in Shibuya and used her brother Ui Ui's powers to travel to Malaysia. Her decision to abandon her fellow fighters while they were being killed did not sit well with viewers, but what really alienated fans was the revelation of Mei Mei's inappropriate relationship with her young brother Ui Ui. This controversial scene has sparked heavy criticism and concern among the fanbase.

Alternatively, certain fans mentioned a scene from the popular anime Chainsaw Man in which Himeno, a Public Safety Devil Hunter, attempted to seduce Denji while intoxicated. The scene sparked controversy upon its release due to the fact that Denji was a minor at the time, while Himeno was an adult. However, Denji ultimately intervened and prevented the situation from escalating. Subsequently, Himeno admitted that Denji had stopped her from making a terrible mistake.

Therefore, fans have drawn comparisons between the two scenes, arguing that both are quite similar as they both involved an adult attempting to take advantage of a minor. However, this comparison seems rather pointless. Other fans have pointed out that since Himeno herself admitted that she was in the wrong, she was simply an extremely irresponsible adult who nearly committed a terrible act under the influence of alcohol.

In contrast, Mei Mei consistently takes advantage of her younger brother. Her actions have caused outrage among fans worldwide, as she not only abandoned her comrades in Shibuya but also exploited a young child. Her character is facing intense criticism for her behavior.
The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen marked a significant shift in the storyline. With the Jujutsu society facing consecutive losses, fans are left questioning whether the main characters can truly overcome this challenging arc. Additionally, Mei Mei's survival amidst the tragic events, while her comrades perished, highlighted the harsh reality that selflessness and compassion may only lead to demise in the unforgiving world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am deeply disappointed and disturbed by the controversial scene involving Mei Mei and her brother Ui Ui in Episode 22 of Season 2. Mei Mei's actions are not only morally reprehensible but also undermine the integrity of the Jujutsu society. Her decision to abandon her comrades in Shibuya and use her brother's powers for personal gain is utterly selfish and callous. Moreover, the inappropriate relationship between Mei Mei and Ui Ui is deeply disturbing and raises serious concerns about the ethical boundaries within the Jujutsu world.
The comparison between Mei Mei and Himeno from Chainsaw Man is a valid point of discussion. While both scenes involve an adult attempting to take advantage of a minor, there are crucial differences. Himeno's actions were ultimately prevented by Denji, and she later acknowledged her mistake. In contrast, Mei Mei continues to exploit her brother without any remorse. Her behavior is predatory and manipulative, and it reflects poorly on the Jujutsu society as a whole.
