Mix Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I just started watching and the similarities are crazy dumb. A kid with a demon sealed in him goes to.....basically a ninja school, let's be real. I mean they just straight up made Kakashi his teacher. He even runs around with the same two people; a highly competent member of an elite clan and a girl. (Ok, so there weren't any similarities between Nobara and Sakura) Please tell me this has been talked about. I feel like i'm taking crazy pills.

katt_goddess Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 This is a novel take on it. But I would say its probably more of a trope in general than a rip-off. Kid has supernatural problem, kid goes to special school, has special friends with similar supernatural conditions, battles happen, everyone gets stronger over time. Holy crap, I just described 'Sailor Moon' for the most part. Itidori intentionally sealed the demon inside himself on impulse and remains aware of the demon's presence pretty much all the time. He isn't questing to be the greatest sorcerer ever, he's just staying alive long enough to digest all the until now indestructible fingers. Once he ingests the last one, Sakuna can finally be killed because Itidori will be executed. He isn't going to be hokagi. He won't even get to be a teacher at the school if things go the way they need to. As for there being only two people he constantly hangs out with, its because there are only two people in his 'class' at the time he's enrolled. As you watch more of it, you'll see him hanging out with other people in other classes/schools but the general thing is that there aren't a ton of people with the natural ability to be Jujitsu Sorcerers. You either have to have cursed energy, be able to handle cursed energy through objects, or be a curse user. However, you shouldn't be able to create curses yourself because that's a purely human thing. So there's only three kids in that 'class' and Gojo is the only one strong enough to smack down Sakuna if he manages to take over briefly after any finger foods. <.< >.> I've watched all the episodes so far as well as the movie and just recently finished #22... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not a one to one, and there's nothing original under the sun, but this shit is.....lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard ninja mechas....is a hell of an anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 JJK is an anime rip off. A shonen pastiche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) They had my interest the moment "Kaikai Kitan" dropped. Spoiler They lost it the moment they decided to kill off Nobara for cheap shock value. Why no, I haven't seen it yet.
