Is Fugou Tea Master 15 or 16 in terms of school year? I get those mixed up. Given that we see him at the beginning of the story, I believe him to be 15 years old. Manga data books, as well as fan-made wikis, support this and note that he is 15 at the start of the work. Much like he is an old 30 year old man, often grumpy, the young Master is quite opposite to that in his relentless pursuit ofiets with Itadori. His birthday is in December, which would likely make him one of the older students in his class year. However, that would only place him at 16 for the rest of the first season, not 15. This is very important to understand his past with Tsumiki and his father, Toji, and how those experiences affected him. Most of those awful events happened when he was even younger, though. We aren’t really treated to many monologues by Master about his age, though. His school uniform, and even Gojo’s way of treating the young man as if he were a protégé, while also enjoying to tease the boy, really show just how much his childhood as a child soldier has affected his life, and helped to shape his rather shy nature. He’s a child soldier in every sense of the word, and the story makes that very clear, even when he’s created giant divine dogs or is controlling complex domains.

I have a vague memory of this, but I would probably get some details wrong. My main memory of him is that he was little in the early seasons of the show, and then suddenly he was as tall as his mom, talking about college. It felt like he grew up so fast, even in a fictional Texas setting. If anyone remembers when he grew up, I'd appreciate them letting me know so I can get the details straight.

Sixteen. This is true for the original cast members. Some of the newer characters introduced in subsequent seasons may have been a year or two older or younger than that, but the original group all started at sixteen. This helps to build a consistent world, and world-building is all about the smallest details. The fact that the core cast members are all peers from roughly the same life stage gives credence to their interactions despite the highly unusual nature of the situations in which they find themselves. In short, it provides a grounding to an otherwise completely absurd cartoon, and while this fact may seem to be of little importance, it is an important part of the show’s overall logic.

Do you know how old Nya is? Her age in relation to Kai gives us a starting point to figure this out. Since she is his sister and therefore likely to be about a year or two younger than Kai in most scenarios, her depicted age and abilities will reveal her to not be a little kid. Early on in the series, for example, Nya is depicted as a teenage genius, perhaps 14-15 or so. Therefore, based on these early scenarios, Kai would be about 16-17. However, in “Crystalized” (Book 5, Water), when Nya becomes the new Sea Empress, she contains the wisdom of the previous master, which places her at a mid-20s maturity. Therefore, if Nya is 24-25 in this scenario, that would make Kai 25-27 years old in this scenario as well. For the entire series though, Nya is depicted to be Kai’s younger sister, and therefore he protects her in all situations.

A 23-year-old man? Yeah, that’s pretty wild. He’s been through Black Jack Randall’s worst, got disowned by his father, has been living as an outlaw, and is carrying the weight of his family’s political destruction. But yeah, that all happened before this story even began. Listing all of that out is pretty brutal. The show does an incredible job of making you feel all of that weight on Jamie, despite him being so young. There’s one particular scene where he’s shaving himself in front of a mirror and for a moment you see a man trying to reconcile the boy he once was with the man he is becoming as a leader.
This also gives new insight into Jamie’s relationship with Claire. While she can give Jamie a new perspective on things, it’s mostly his encounters with her that help him to grow up in ways that aren’t related to war and survival. In terms of his relationships with others, he’s spent 23 years of his life learning to fight and to obey. Claire helps him to find a way to communicate and to trust in a completely new way for him. This is the heart of the first season for me.

I'm pretty sure this is episode 23, “Cursed Womb, Part 2”. His death is indelibly printed in the memories of a lot of fans because of how inevitable it was once he gave himself to the curse spirit in order to fight against Megumi. The whole episode just follows out that inevitability to its gruesome conclusion.
No last-minute save for him here. The whole thing follows causality and the tragedy is inescapable. What's more powerful is the fact that it’s true to the characters and to the world that Jujutsu Kaisen takes place in. The outcome is in no way a ‘twist’. The way it’s conveyed by all the stunning effects, combined with the raw emotions felt by the characters and viewer alike is, in my opinion, one of the highlights of the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen.

The collective fandom's decision not to find out and not to ask is far more interesting than any single answer could be. It’s a fascinating practice that shapes the way the fandom operates and outlines its boundaries. Cool.

I think I worked this out, provided you accept the timeline laid out by the pilot. So, in 1989, when the show is set, Sheldon is 9 years old and his older brother Georgie is 17. Therefore, by the time we reach the end of season 4 (1992-93), we have a 12-year-old Sheldon and a 20-year-old Georgie. But that can’t be right, that would make Georgie older than I’ve imagined him to be. Maybe the seasons don’t cover a full year. I try to avoid getting drawn into all these timelines and debates about the show as it’s a comedy and not a historical documentary. For the purpose of the show, Sheldon looks and acts like a young adult. That’s good enough for me.

All the deep emotions people are discussing are all well and good, but the AUs are really where the fun is at. Right now I’m really enjoying the modern no-curses, coffee shop AU where Megumi is a tired barista and Yuji is a very cheerful customer who orders bizarrely complicated drinks. I’ve also been enjoying a couple of fantasy AUs where their roles are reversed. The core dynamic of sunshine vs. shadow, of optimistic vs. pragmatic works so well in pretty much any setting, so I can follow this ship in lots of different contexts. After a long, grueling chapter of canon I can easily binge-read ten such AUs in a row and just enjoy the happy, argumentative Megumi and Yuji doing laundry or whatever.

“Este es ‘informed immortality’’ we know they’re old, we see bits of their past, but in terms of behavior they are very very very young. This is the whole tragedy of these people. They have the power, the knowledge of centuries and yet they have the emotional control of a group of traumatized adolescents of nineteen years of age. So their old age reveals how tragic is their immortality. Instead of wisdom, they have turned to stone with their wounds. Old enough to be a tragedy, not a blessing.
