Jujutsu Kaisen, Vol. 4

“I'm asking you, how about me? It's about modelling, modelling!”
“No, um... I'm in a rush, so...” (Panel 3).

This was by far my favorite quote in this chapter. Although this chapter lacked action and fighting scenes compared to the previous chapters, however, we are introduced to a new character Kugisaki Nobara. Kugisaki Nobara enters the Jujutsu Kaisen world with a rocky start. She is indirectly treated poorly by the people of Tokyo. When Nobara walks past a “model agent” she witnesses the model agent flirting with a pretty girl (who seemed like a stranger). Nobara immediately enters the scene and tries to fend the model agent off the girl, saying to hire her instead. Her looks and aggressive nature that contrast the cute, gentle nature of girls shocked the model agent. He instantly walks away, embarrassed. Although this scene was short, I think it will really foreshadow the obstacles that female Jujutsu Sorcerers will have to face. Female Jujutsu Sorcerers will have to fight against the sexist and unfair expectations that the outside world has of girls while trying to balance their strength and power in a world of curses.
