Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami is currently one of the most popular anime and manga of all time, with its supernatural elements, fantastic characters and piercing doses of horror. 

And among these characters, there's Junpei Yoshino. To many fans, his in-story potential was bigger than portrayed; despite its service in Yuji Itadori's story development, as harrowing as we all know and saw in manga and anime format, even with the extra content in the adaptation, motivated by the author's comment itself, the sadness and empathy we felt for him had a lasting impact.

He was ranked 9th in the very first JJK Popularity Poll Shonen Jump launched, which more than cements how much love the character got, and could've get with more appearances.

It is a sad fact that in-universe, Junpei IS dead, but not having more content, merchandise, not even a proper mention since his last appearance in the anime and manga, as compared to Toge Inumaki, Aoi Todo, and even Sukuna, is very unfair; not to mention that many in-universe deceased characters in different media and publications WERE brought back, even for non-canon media such as light novels, alternate universes, merchandise appearances, etc.

The main point to be made isn't that the story should be rewritten to appeal to anyone, but that Junpei Yoshino deserved and still deserves more attention in JJK media; his legacy, as small as it looks, must be remembered.
