Despite the excitement surrounding the anime adaptation of Sakamoto Days, some fans have already expressed frustration with comparisons being made between the main character and Gojo and Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen.
Yuuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days is a highly acclaimed manga of the new generation. It centers on Tarou Sakamoto, renowned as the greatest hitman ever. Despite his formidable reputation, he gave up his life as a criminal when he fell in love and now leads a humble life as a convenience store employee.
Despite his efforts, Tarou struggles to escape his troubled past. Netflix has recently revealed a new trailer and character design for the much-awaited anime adaptation. However, upon seeing the main character’s appearance in Sakamoto Days, some fans of Jujutsu Kaisen drew comparisons to Gojo and Geto, causing discontent among the entire fandom.

One fan pleaded, “Please, no god, no, the strange JJK fandom, please stay away from this franchise.”
Another person remarked, “Why must JJK fans constantly make it all about themselves?”
Despite the controversy, there were JJK fans who defended the series. One such fan expressed their thoughts on the matter, stating: “We, as ‘fangirls’, have been avid readers of Sakadays for years and have no intentions of leaving. This manga does not solely belong to those who are creating the uproar. It’s time for everyone to mature and stop behaving like children.”
The dispute caused a major uproar, leading to a response from Go_Jover, the Jujutsu Kaisen leaker who typically stays out of fan discussions. In a tweet, Go_Jover provided an update on the ongoing drama within the fandom, reporting that the JJK ‘Girlies’ and Sakamoto Fans were once again embroiled in conflict during the 2nd Day of Break Week. Additionally, the JJK ‘Dudebros’ were also involved, taking sides and getting caught up in the chaos. With that, Go_Jover concluded the update and signed off.
Despite the anticipation for the premiere of Sakamoto Days anime, the conversation continues to buzz among both fandoms.
The release date and potential spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262 can be discovered.
