Later Grisha agrees to call off his attack in exchange for raise Minerva to his side , but not before that idol demon gives Corleo a kiss , which fluster the baddie of the series right alongside Elysia .

MamaYuyu’s Villain Is Unique From OtherShonen JumpAntagonists

These surprising moments in this chapter make Grisha unequalled from other main antagonists inShonen Jump . Most of the metre the ultimate scoundrel of a Shonen series is treated as a serious and distant figure , more dignified than the more banal villains beneath them . They also rarely direct press with the protagonist until the final electric arc of the series . Grisha goes against both of these tropes in this chapter by confronting Corleo look to face and humanizing himself with his chemical reaction to the kiss . rather of making him less threatening , this in reality make him much more unequalled and compelling than a more standard foe .

Grisha at this point in the series feels more like a tetchy child with too much power than a malevolent schemer likeMy Hero Academia ’s All For One . As such he is fine playing with multitude ’s lives and emotions just because he can such as with Kuptula ’s son , only caring that his suit of clothes gets stained instead of the trauma it probably inflicted on her . He can also be much more featherbrained without losing his threaten gloriole , such as when he react to Corleo ’s osculation . This immaturity and unpredictability makes him compelling to watch and ifMamaYuyumanages to avoid the Under 19 Clublong enough to get him further he could become one ofShonen Jump ’s unspoilt new villains .

While he is herculean , his unfitness to fully revive Kuptula ’s son involve Grisha is still comparatively weak as well .

HopefullyMamaYuyuInfluences FutureShonen JumpVillains

Grisha gibe in nicely among a new generation of villain who hold up writing style anticipation , like thedisturbing Takauji fromShonen Jump’sThe Elusive Samurai . The baddie he may be closest to is Kaiju No . 9 fromKaiju No . 8 , who also had to grow over the course of that series . Hopefully even more newShonen Jumpseries will be able-bodied to follow inMamaYuyu ’s example and produce compelling and unpredictable villain like Grisha .
