In this sensation , Yuji again could not be more dissimilar fromNaruto , who was not given such a choicebut had his fate settle for him as a child , a determination he even holds against his father , Minato , at first . However , there is one thing that Yuji and Naruto do share in common , which is their never-say-die smell .

indisputable , the idealistic protagonist who never gives up on his dreams is quite well-worn in the shōnen genre , almost to the point of being cliché . Still , Jujutsu Kaisenmanages to take this idea and flesh it out through Yuji in a refreshful mode , adding much more complexness to his character while still keeping him just as optimistic and resolute as Naruto .
