The Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade backlash comes from the developers’ decision to drastically speed up the release schedule, cramming three months of content into just one week. Even though it seemed like a good time to start playing Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, players have voiced their frustration on social media, calling the pace unsustainable. A Reddit user, Catveria77, pointed out that the Japanese version of the game gives players months to gather resources between banners, while the global version bombards players with nine banners in a single month. This approach leaves players unable to save enough in-game currency to participate meaningfully, making even paid options like monthly passes seem like a waste.

Another Reddit user, Admirable-Park9321, has described the situation as a “blatant cash grab,” accusing developer Sumzap and publisher Bilibili of putting profits ahead of the player experience. They criticized the lack of special rewards to mark the global release and argued that the rushed schedule unfairly targets Western players, relying on their willingness to spend more to keep up with the constant wave of new banners. Many fans of Jujutsu Kaisen’s show and game share these frustrations, describing its approach as “scummy” and “malicious.”

Although the developer has claimed it’s listening to player feedback, fans feel its actions so far have only made things worse. The game’s core loop, which involves collecting resources and managing teams, becomes unsustainable when the rewards don’t keep pace with the rapid content rollout, according to players.

Many other players are also calling for negative reviews and boycotting in-game purchases. Despite its interesting approach to Jujutsu Kaisen’s popular anime, the game's future now depends on whether Sumzap and Bilibili can regain the trust of their global players.
