Miwa’s perceived uselessness in 'Jujutsu Kaisen' stems from her lack of standout combat abilities compared to her peers. While characters like Yuji or Megumi showcase raw power or strategic brilliance, Miwa’s skills with a sword feel mundane in a world of cursed energy and supernatural techniques. Her reliance on physical weaponry limits her against opponents who manipulate curses or regenerate. She also lacks a unique innate technique, which is almost a prerequisite for relevance in jujutsu society.
Her emotional vulnerability further undermines her. Moments of self-doubt and hesitation contrast sharply with the confidence of characters like Maki, who thrives despite lacking cursed energy. Miwa’s arc highlights the brutal hierarchy of the jujutsu world—where potential often outweighs effort. Even her moral compass, while admirable, doesn’t translate to battlefield efficacy. The narrative frames her as an underdog, but unlike others, she hasn’t yet had a transformative moment to redefine her role.
Miwa’s ‘useless’ label in 'JJK' is unfair but understandable. She lacks the flashy abilities that define top-tier sorcerers, and her fights often end prematurely. But her training under Kusakabe implies latent potential. The series sidelines her to emphasize power gaps, yet her resilience—fighting despite knowing her limits—adds nuance. Unlike characters born strong, Miwa’s journey is about overcoming inadequacy, a theme 'JJK' rarely explores deeply. Her utility may lie in future arcs focusing on human ingenuity over cursed prowess.
Miwa’s role in 'JJK' reflects the series’ harsh realism about power disparities. She’s a traditional swordsman in a modern cursed world, an archetype that feels outdated when enemies bypass blades with reality-warping abilities. Her attacks lack the flair of Todo’s boogie woogie or Nobara’s resonance, making her fights forgettable. The story emphasizes her technical skill, but technique alone can’t bridge the gap against supernatural threats. Her moments of bravery—like confronting Kenjaku—are undercut by immediate defeat, reinforcing her ‘useless’ label. Yet this very dynamic makes her relatable; she embodies the struggle of ordinary people in extraordinary battles.
Miwa’s perceived inefficacy in 'JJK' is a byproduct of Gege Akutami’s ruthless power scaling. The series prioritizes characters with cursed techniques or heavenly restrictions, leaving conventional fighters like Miwa at a disadvantage. Her swordplay, though precise, can’t compete with domain expansions or cursed spirits. Even her teamwork moments—like with Mechamaru—highlight her supportive role rather than independence. The Shibuya incident exacerbates this; while others adapt or evolve, Miwa’s contributions are minimal. Yet her persistence suggests untapped depth—if the story shifts toward human-scale conflicts, she could shine.
Calling Miwa useless misses her narrative purpose. She’s a grounded contrast to the power fantasy of 'JJK.' While others rely on cursed techniques, she hones mundane swordsmanship to its peak, proving dedication without innate talent. Her ‘weakness’ critiques the jujutsu world’s elitism—sorcerers dismiss non-traditional fighters until someone like Maki upends expectations. Miwa’s potential lies in her humanity; her fear and resolve mirror early Yuji, hinting at growth if given focus. The fandom’s dismissal ironically mirrors the system she fights against.

I'm a medical miracle by nature. My blood is a natural antidote that can cure various poisons.
When Miriam Wiley, the unmaterialistic heiress of the upper crust, gets bitten by a venomous snake, her life goes into countdown.
At the critical juncture in my previous life, I slit my wrist and bled in order to help her cure the poison.
After saving Miriam's life, I found out that whoever saved her would become the future son-in-law of the Wiley family.
But the first thing Miriam did after inheriting her family fortune was to drain me of my blood.
"Back then, Cedric was already rushing to me with a special drug! If I could wait for five more minutes, I'd be able to marry him!
"You just had to interfere with my plan by stealing the position of the son-in-law from him! You made him slit his wrist and take his own life out of despair!
"You claimed that your blood is an antidote to all the poisons in the world, right? I'd like to see how many antidotes I can actually produce from your blood!"
After I got my blood drained, I was tossed into a cage filled with predators. My corpse ended up being battered and broken.
As for my parents, they took some poison and ended their own lives after the Wileys forced them into bankruptcy.
When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Miriam gets poisoned.
Her mother, Verna Seymour, looks at me expectantly.
"I heard that you're a medical miracle. Are you willing to save my daughter's life?"
I quickly turn her down.
"Those are just rumors, Mrs. Wiley. Besides, it's unsanitary to use blood as a form of antidote. You don't have to worry, though. I heard that Mr. Campbell is rushing toward this place with a special drug as we speak. Surely Ms. Wiley will live to see the day!"
I'm starting to look forward to the outcome.
Without my antidote, Miriam can forget about inheriting her family fortune. In fact, it'll be a miracle if she can live for an extra month.
One moment I'm chasing after a rabbit and the next, I'm falling down a rabbit hole! What the heck?! This ain't Alice in Wonderland?! Though as I opened my eyes, I soon found out that I was no longer in my original body and that somehow I transmigrated into the light novel, A Fairytale Romance. And that isn't all, the character whose body I transmigrated into... is none other than the canon-fodder, stuck-up, arrogant, and selfish ojou-sama who was nothing more than a comic relief character, Maria Rosendrey. Life truly sucks...

"Whose child is this? If no one wants her, then I'll adopt her."
"Put her down! She called me 'papa' first!"
Since then, I have 99 dads. Other than the fact that I have an extremely boisterous family, I make sure to keep to myself for the next dozen years or so.
That is, until I get bullied during my high school times.
Viola Mariani, the most popular girl in school, and her lackeys corner me in the washroom. Then, they start ripping my clothes off me.
"So, you're the one seducing my boyfriend, hmm? Since you want to be a whore that badly, you might as well show everyone your nudes!"
Since the beating I've received is a lot worse than I thought, I subconsciously shove Viola down the stairs just to protect myself.
When I wake up in the infirmary, my teacher, Marianna Pagani, lashes out at me immediately.
"So what if she berated you? Are you really going to kill her for that? I want you to call your parents here! I'd like to see who on earth is capable of raising an idiot like you!"
Panic seizes me by the senses as I cry and plead to her, "Ms. Pagani, please don't tell my dad about this!"

Miwa Kasumi in 'Jujutsu Kaisen' is a supporting character who brings a grounded, human perspective to the sorcerer world. As a Kyoto Jujutsu High student, she lacks innate cursed techniques, relying instead on swordsmanship and sheer determination. Her role highlights the struggles of non-elite sorcerers—constantly overshadowed by prodigies like Yuta or Gojo but never giving up. Miwa's loyalty to her friends, especially Mechamaru, adds emotional weight to the Shibuya arc, where her vulnerability contrasts starkly with the chaos around her.
Her most pivotal moment comes during the Goodwill Event, where she fights Nobara. The battle reveals her tactical mind and unyielding spirit, even when outmatched. Later, Mechamaru's death devastates her, fueling her resolve to grow stronger without resentment. Unlike many characters who pursue power for glory, Miwa's motivation stems from pure-hearted camaraderie, making her a refreshing underdog in a world obsessed with strength hierarchies.
Miwa's character in 'Jujutsu Kaisen' undergoes subtle but meaningful growth, especially in her confidence and resolve. Initially, she's portrayed as timid and self-deprecating, often doubting her abilities as a Kyoto Jujutsu High student. Her reliance on her sword technique, 'Simple Domain,' reflects her cautious nature—she prefers predictable battles over improvisation.
Later arcs show her confronting stronger curses and surviving, proving her resilience isn’t just luck. The Shibuya Incident becomes a turning point; faced with overwhelming chaos, she fights not just for duty but to protect her peers. Her interactions with Mechamaru also reveal emotional depth—she grieves his loss deeply, showing how bonds fuel her determination. By the Culling Game, she’s less hesitant, more strategic. Her development isn’t flashy but feels earned, a quiet shift from follower to survivor.
