Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm deeply invested in the world of anime and manga, and the recent clash between Jujutsu Kaisen and Bleach TYBW fandoms has certainly caught my attention. The controversial fight scene involving Mahito, Yuji Itadori, and Aoi Todo has ignited a fierce rivalry between these two passionate fanbases, and I can't help but feel the excitement and tension in the air.
While I understand the enthusiasm and loyalty that fans have for their favorite series, I believe that comparing and pitting them against each other is unnecessary and counterproductive. Both Jujutsu Kaisen and Bleach TYBW have their own unique strengths and styles, and it's unfair to declare one superior to the other. Each series offers a distinct emotional impact, and it's up to individual viewers to decide which resonates with them more.
