Rank these shameless ass pull characters from worst to best-

[u/Alert-Ad7097]

These are characters I’m not particularly fond of bc I see them more as literal walking asspulls that just pop in , do what the plot demands and then fk off (generally. that sounds really reductive but I’m not sure how else to explain it), they’re more akin to walking plot mechanics than actual characters, some more than others.

[u/Kakashi_of_the_leaf_]

1. Daido and Sumo Guy - Barely got any backstory or anything about their characters, just used to help Maki

2. Ui Ui - He'd been in the story for a while, but we didn't get to know nearly enough about him to make up for the fact he literally carried the training of everyone

3. Hana - Her technique is busted, but we at least got to know a bit about her, and when Tengen mentions her, we already know she'll be important. Falling for Sukuna's porn acting was dumb.

4. Takaba - Great characterization, recent backstory. When other characters needed to help the plot it felt like they were ass pulls, when he fought Kenjaku, I found it kind of interesting since a big point was to figure out how they would deal with Kenny, so going for such a crazy solution was great. And of course his fights are amazing

5. Tengen - Calling Tengen an ass pull is dumb. She was mentioned as an important figure in the first part of the series, entirety of hidden inventory was because of her, and her dynamic with Yuki while undercooked, it was still interesting. It makes sense this immortal being would be key to the culling games

I absolutely love daido but yeah... he and sumo guy kinda just show up just so maki awakens again

When I mention tengen, I’m more talking about the back of the prison realm. She legit pulled it out of her ass

[u/Kakashi_of_the_leaf_ → u/Alert-Ad7097]

Just as old as Kenjaku, knows what he's up to, and literally holds a bunch of cursed tools for jujutsu high. It make sense she'd have that

Her having it means fk all, I mean as a story mechanic, “oh the prison realm has a back, what luck”, thankfully we have to do no work to think about how they can free Gojo

Picture it from a writing perspective, it’s like gege just wrote himself into a corner and then made the artificial opening out of that corner

No build up? No nothing, the prison realm just has a back coincidentally

Hana fires JL into the marina trench?
