The Problem With Higuruma Nobody Explains

Why doesn’t Higuruma’s character arc in Jujutsu Kaisen fully land? This video breaks down why his change feels forced. The issue is not the idea itself, but that the catalyst does not connect to his actual conflict. Using Lajos Egri’s concept of “jumping conflict,” it shows how the story skips the escalation needed to justify his actions. It also compares this to Naruto to show what a properly positioned catalyst looks like, and why it works there but not here. Change alone is not enough. It has to come from the right place.
