Jujutsu Kaisen

To make a story's narrative and morals stick, the protagonist has to be capable of doing the heavy lifting in the story. Anime series are no exception to this ...

He is the reason why the heroes can fight the good fight, so to speak, and his example stirs a noticeable change within the universe of Jujutsu Kaisen. The one thing standing in Izuku's way of being a great protagonist is his hesitation and lack of confidence. The more he grows in those respects, the more he will drive the story and stand out as a central character. Throughout most of this arc, Izuku is passive and uninspiring as he fumbles on how to save the day. Granted, in the most recent season of MHA, Izuku is starting to come into his own and make his own decisions despite the orders or expectations of those around him. However, with such a wide variety of characters, some of whom uphold the same values and ideals that Izuku has, it's easy to see other characters stand out. The website [Literary Terms](https://literaryterms.net/protagonist/) also explains that a protagonist "give[s] the audience someone to focus on and lend narrative unity to the story." In essence, a protagonist has to maintain focus of the narrative, lead the narrative and influence the emotional message to centralize the entire series. To make a story's narrative and morals stick, the protagonist has to be capable of doing the heavy lifting in the story. Though they haven't met yet in the anime, JJK fans debate on who makes for a better protagonist between Yuji and the upperclassman Yuta. Yuji leads this narrative by choosing to be a Jujutsu Sorcerer and accepting his role as a compass to find Sukuna's remains. Every story has its batch of main characters, and most often, there is a designated central or protagonist character who takes on the biggest role.
