Obsession Star Inde Navarrette Says She Studied the Nonlinear Plot of Jujutsu Kaisen to Improve Her Screenwriting Skills
--
TAME OTONITY – The actress from *Obsession* analyzes how the shifting timelines in *Jujutsu Kaisen* and the linear storytelling in *Demon Slayer* influence character development and narrative structure, while also honing her screenwriting skills.
Inde Navarrette, known for playing Nikki Freeman in *Obsession*, turned to anime to study storytelling during a period of uncertainty in her acting career.
While waiting for her breakthrough film to reach audiences, Navarrette began researching the creative choices behind her favorite movies and TV shows, with *Jujutsu Kaisen* and *Demon Slayer* serving as her primary examples.
In an interview with *The Hollywood Reporter* on October 14, Navarrette explained that her interest goes beyond simply watching anime for entertainment. She wanted to understand why certain stories succeed and how their narrative structures influence the audience’s experience.
The actress then compared the storytelling approaches of two popular anime series. She described *Jujutsu Kaisen* as a particularly compelling series because of the way it handles timelines and the pacing of information across multiple episodes. In contrast, she pointed to *Demon Slayer* as an example of a more linear narrative.
Her questions focused on how these differences shape the way viewers understand characters, events, and emotional moments.
