As a dedicated fan who has followed both Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen since their early days, it’s truly heartwarming to see the mutual respect between two giants of Shonen Jump. Tite Kubo’s choice of Maki’s one vs. all fight against the Zenin clan as his favorite in Jujutsu Kaisen is a testament to Gege Akutami’s masterful storytelling and action sequences.


The creator of ‘Bleach’ recently expressed his admiration for a particularly intense fight scene in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’, praising it as one of the most brutal one-sided battles in the entire series! Both ‘Bleach’ and ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ are basking in popularity these days, even though they’ve concluded their runs in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Tite Kubo’s ‘Bleach’ is set to dominate screens this Fall with the new episodes of ‘Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War’, and Gege Akutami’s ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ is eagerly anticipated to return with Season 3 of the TV anime in the future.

Kubo (from Bleach) and Akutami (yet to be identified) have been brought on board by Shueisha as judges for the Jump Next Generation Battle Manga Award. They join Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia creator) and Yuki Tabata (Black Clover creator) in this role, evaluating manga submissions from Japan to find a series that they believe embodies the future of battle mangas for Jump magazine. During a meeting with other creators, Tite Kubo (the creator of Bleach) shared his admiration for Maki’s one-versus-all fight against the Zenin clan in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Bleach Creator’s Favorite Jujutsu Kaisen Fight

In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Kubo seems particularly fond of a fight that could potentially spoil the experience for viewers who have only watched up to the anime’s conclusion as it preludes the Culling Game arc. Post the Shibuya Incident, Maki endures injuries so severe she becomes unrecognizable. Desiring to fully tap into her potential power, she resolves to eliminate the rest of her own family. From Chapters 148 to 150 of the manga, Maki embarks on a vengeful path and systematically overpowers other members of her clan.

Kubo admires the scene as he says, “Although the story avoids intricate magic formula explanations often found in jujutsu battles, it maintains Akutami’s distinct pattern of flashbacks blending reality and fantasy. The ensuing magic sequences are clear and visually appealing, and the action scenes, filled with gore and moments that make you wish you could experience the freedom of the jumps, along with piles of bodies, lead up to the battle with Naoya in an exciting and flawless manner. This is what it feels like to be swept away by a writer’s pen.

Why This Jujutsu Kaisen Fight Is Important

It’s not surprising that this battle caught Tite Kubo’s attention, given its intense violence, which is among the most brutal in Jujutsu Kaisen. As Kubo correctly notes, Maki’s fight isn’t centered around Jujutsu techniques; instead, she slices through everything with ease. Unlike many scenes during the Shibuya Incident or Culling Game, this battle doesn’t rely on cursed techniques. Instead, Maki’s raw power and bloodlust ultimately result in a brutal massacre of her own family due to her overwhelming strength.

In a significant transformation, Maki takes on characteristics similar to Toji Fushiguro in the contemporary era of the story. Both characters employ physically demanding fighting styles that enable them to outmaneuver numerous curse users due to their impressive strength and swiftness. This development is crucial as it prepares Maki for future battles, particularly when Yuji and the group confront Sukuna. This turning point remains one of the most impactful moments in the series. When animated in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, viewers can expect an intensely violent and thrilling experience.
