Gege’s New Avatar Sparks Fear in Jujutsu Kaisen Fans

Despite being even cuter than the original, Gege’s new avatar for the Jujutsu Kaisen Exhibition has the fandom bracing for the worst due to the person’s poor track record.

The Jujutsu Kaisen Exhibition has been the center of attention, with Gege Akutami revealing the inspirations behind popular characters and sharing behind-the-scenes insights, answering some of the most pressing questions.

The fandom has been in uproar since the author’s new avatar was revealed. Although the avatar is still the same cat as before, it appears more innocent and adorable. However, given the author’s track record of killing off beloved characters in the final arc of the series, the fandom remains skeptical of this new demeanor and anticipates another devastating blow.

What is the new demeanor of Gege in Jujutsu Kaisen?

The creator of the widely acclaimed Shounen manga series Jujutsu Kaisen is Gege Akutami. In the series, Akutami utilizes his cartoon alter ego, a one-eyed cat, to provide explanations on various aspects of each chapter. This avatar serves as a representation of Akutami’s personality, as the mangaka is not very active in public appearances.

To coincide with the Jujutsu Kaisen Exhibition, the author introduced a fresh avatar of the one-eyed cat, appearing more youthful in appearance. This new version exuded an innocent and adorable aura, with the addition of a possible tail extending from its back. The author has yet to define the significance or symbolism behind this demeanor.

Reactions to Gege’s New Avatar

As anticipated, the fandom was quick to comment that they were not prepared to see such a cute avatar for an author who has a history of killing off beloved characters. Many fans viewed this new cute avatar as a mischievous figure, suggesting that it could be a foreshadowing of something unfortunate happening. One fan speculated that it could potentially lead to the death of another character.

One fan humorously noted that the author’s latest avatar includes a tail and feet, unlike the previous one. However, the previous avatar also had these characteristics, mostly depicted above the torso. Despite the change in appearance, the fandom has not yet forgiven the author for the tragic demise of their beloved characters.

“It looks like a cute demon with the little horns and tail,”a fan claimed

“Devil spawn with that tail. Another fan favorite character dying next week,”another fan said

“Oh god it has feet and tail now,”a fan commented

“Bro thinks if he draws himself as a cute cat we would forgive him,”another fan commented

After taking a 3-week hiatus to recover his health, the author’s avatar now resembles a younger version of his previous one. This may explain the similarity between Gege’s new and old avatars.

Additionally, it should be noted that the avatar is exclusively for the Jujutsu Kaisen Exhibition and does not hold any significance for the manga series or upcoming chapters. However, this could potentially change if the author decides to use it as their new avatar in the manga.
