The antagonists in Jujutsu Kaisen, from Jogo to Hanami and Mahito to Sukuna, each have their own captivating qualities. Surprisingly, it is the villains who have garnered the most attention, particularly during the Shibuya incident arc.

Fans are well-aware of the meticulous planning by pseudo-Geto and his cohorts for the Shibuya massacre. Their plot also involved sealing Satoru Gojo, recognizing him as the most formidable sorcerer in contemporary times and perceiving him as a significant obstacle to their agenda.

Gege Akutami's approach in sealing him demonstrates the respectful treatment of villains. They are not mere obstacles for the heroes to triumph over, earning accolades from fans. Instead, these villains possess their own unique ideologies, which they steadfastly adhere to in order to achieve their goals.

Gege has gone above and beyond in crafting the antagonists' personalities, surpassing all expectations. Furthermore, every villain within the narrative possesses a visually captivating allure, igniting numerous fans' aspirations to embody the essence of a "JJK villain."

The latest episode, titled Dull Knife, further fuels the desire to become a "JJK villain". Unexpectedly, Haruta Shigemo's character is brilliantly portrayed by the MAPPA studio, accompanied by original sequences that intensify his untamed wickedness.

The audience is left astonished by his encounter with Nobara Kugisaki and Akari Nitta. Gege once again presents a villain with irredeemable malice. As showcased in the episode, the curse user impressively showcases his overpowering abilities and secures victory prior to Kento Nanami's arrival.

Haruta, despite his brutal defeat by Nanami, managed to create quite a stir within the community. It is undeniable that characters such as Haruta are the very reason why fans are captivated by the villains in Gege Akutami's storytelling.

"I want to be a Jujutsu Kaisen villain"- Fans go ecstatic over the series' antagonists

The popularity of the villains in Gege Akutami's masterpiece is clearly evident from the fans' reactions. However, there is an underlying reason behind this popularity, which can be attributed to MAPPA's strategic decision to exaggerate the sensuality of characters such as Gojo Satoru and Kento Nanami, and cleverly pit them against the antagonists.

From Gojo's encounter with Jogo and Hanami to Kento Nanami forcefully yanking Haruta's hair, there are numerous instances where MAPPA has skillfully pushed the boundaries of sensuality. Consequently, countless Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts have indulged in fantasies about embodying the positions of the antagonists in the series. Moreover, they have eagerly flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to express their overwhelming desire to become "JJK villains."
