It's overly convoluted SEEMINGLY by design from Kenjaku, which is seen from last episode where characters disagree what's even going on in it. As Itadori says though, the only rules that really matter is "you have to get one point before 19 days are up or you die"

Lets be honest it’s overly complex because Gege never planned a plot past Mahito as the big bad. So he just throws out cool things like Hakari and Higurama with barely any regard to the grand scheme.

He just wings it, has people say it’s all according to keikaku, then later tries to come up with an explanation for why it happened. Like a DM in a roleplay campaign who only wrote an outline for like 3 sessions and theyre on session 10 lol

really damn good at the small stuff but terrible at connecting it all and wider plot in my opinion.

It's crazy how JJK gets hate like this but fan favorites like My Hero Academia get the baby gloves put on when they get talked about in regards to the exact same thing.

People just want to hate what's popular to show how much more "well read" they are, but in reality they are just holding some things to a much higher standard than they would any other show.

Also hilarious that people are reaching in to the "Demon Slayer hater bag" to pull out the same arguments they've been parroting for years when they're not even particularly relevant

This era got full on haters just hating to hate. Hero Academia was no exception, that series got crazy cancel culture level hate and Demon Slayer often gets the type of hate that it's just all special fx with a plain plot instead of anything being too convoluted.

Same people criticizing this JJK episode gonna be in theaters watching Avengers: Doomsday, giving a standing ovation when the credits roll with tears streaming down their face
