Primary
Jujutsu Kaisen primarily explores apolitical themes of duty, sacrifice, and the moral ambiguities of fighting existential threats within a flawed hierarchical system, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or solution.
Jujutsu Kaisen, being a Japanese anime, features a cast that is diverse within its cultural context without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of roles that would be considered traditionally white. The narrative focuses on its supernatural themes and character development, without critiquing traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The show features female characters like Maki Zenin and Mei Mei who demonstrate superior physical combat skills. They are shown to be victorious in close-quarters engagements using melee weapons against multiple male-presenting opponents, including cursed spirits.
The series extensively incorporates Buddhist philosophical concepts and iconography into its power system and world-building. These elements are used to establish the profound and powerful nature of Jujutsu sorcery and curses, lending gravitas and depth to the narrative without critiquing the religion itself.
Jujutsu Kaisen does not feature any explicitly identified LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. While fan interpretations and subtext exist, the show itself does not directly depict queer identities or relationships, resulting in no discernible impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
Jujutsu Kaisen does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The series focuses on sorcerers battling curses, and gender identity is not a narrative element explored or depicted in its plot or character arcs.
The anime adaptation of Jujutsu Kaisen faithfully maintains the established genders of all characters from its source manga. No character canonically or widely recognized as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the show.
The anime adaptation of Jujutsu Kaisen faithfully portrays its characters as Japanese, consistent with their depictions in the original manga. No characters established as one race in the source material are depicted as a different race in the show.
