Nanami vs Mahito – The First Clash
In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 28, the fan-favorite Nanami Kento finally engages in direct combat with Mahito, delivering a powerful showcase of one of the most unique cursed techniques in the series: Ratio Technique.
Nanami uses his 7:3 Ratio Technique, a cursed energy ability that calculates weak points on his enemy’s body and delivers powerful strikes. For many readers, this was the moment Nanami Jujutsu Kaisen earned legendary status.
Mahito’s Evolution – Shifting Souls, Shifting Strategies
Mahito Jujutsu Kaisen, meanwhile, is growing stronger with every fight. He continues manipulating his own body using Idle Transfiguration, making him extremely difficult to injure. Chapter 28 is a turning point as Mahito begins adapting mid-battle, foreshadowing his dangerous growth in later arcs.
Yuji Itadori – Watching From the Shadows
While the main action focuses on Nanami and Mahito, Itadori Jujutsu Kaisen begins closing in. He hasn’t fully entered the battle yet, but he’s observing and learning. This observation will pay off in later chapters when Yuji finally clashes with Mahito himself.
Sukuna Jujutsu Kaisen remains silent inside Yuji but noticeably interested, setting the tone for darker interactions in future chapters.
Themes – The Body, the Soul, and the Curse of Consciousness
This chapter continues Jujutsu Kaisen’s exploration of deep philosophical concepts: What is the soul? What is identity? Can morality exist in a world dominated by cursed energy?
These topics are personified through Mahito, who sees humans as playthings, and Nanami, who treats every life with solemn dignity.
Social media buzzed with:
-
“Mahito is the most terrifying villain in modern anime”
-
“Nanami is Gojo-level cool”
-
“Cursed techniques in JJK are smarter than most shonen”
Battle Mechanics – A Tactical Dance
The fight choreography is masterful, even in manga form. Nanami strategically controls the battlefield using sharp angles, efficient cursed energy output, and precise timing. This is contrasted beautifully with Mahito’s chaos, as he reshapes limbs, stretches body parts, and laughs during combat.
This is one of the most requested fight scenes fans want to see animated in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, especially with MAPPA’s animation quality.
Censorship & Age Rating Concerns
This chapter, like others in the Mahito arc, features body horror and violent transformations. With Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 release date rumored for late 2025, fans wonder how far the anime will go without censorship.
Anime Impact & Community Reaction
Fans on X (Twitter), YouTube, and Reddit flooded platforms with reactions:
-
“MAPPA needs to animate this now!”
-
“Mahito is already Top 5 anime villains”
-
“Nanami’s ratio slash is cleaner than Zenitsu’s first form!”
As the story escalates, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 28 stands as a pivotal moment where both characters and themes evolve dramatically.
Conclusion
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 28 offers more than just action—it pits two opposite ideologies against each other. Nanami fights with purpose, while Mahito fights for chaos. In their clash, the manga raises questions about the soul, humanity, and what truly makes a monster.
With jjk 2025 promising to adapt this scene beautifully, Chapter 28 remains a fan-favorite battle that defines what Jujutsu Kaisen truly is: dark, intelligent, emotional, and unforgettable.
