Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Gege Akutami’s New Illustration Sparks Buzz: “Yuta Looks So Good”

The final episode of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 “Culling Game First Part” aired late at night on March 26 on TBS. Shortly after the broadcast, an original illustration drawn by creator Gege Akutami was released on the official X account, quickly becoming a hot topic online.

In the finale, Kurourushi, who had been dormant, begins to move again under the influence of the events. Yuta Okkotsu confronts Kurourushi as it attacks civilians. Meanwhile, Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro, who are also part of the four way standoff, carefully observe the situation. The episode depicts the intense and brutal conclusion of a battle involving past sorcerers and a special grade cursed spirit.

One of the highlights was the simultaneous use of Domain Expansion by three characters. The newly released illustration also evokes this climactic battle, further exciting fans. Online reactions included comments such as “Thank you for the new Yuta illustration. It is not just a static pose like an acrylic stand, but a dynamic composition that feels like a manga panel,” “I thought the anime alone was enough, but this is incredible,” and “Yuta looks so good. There is really no one more reliable in a fight.”

Introduction

October 31, 2018.

As Halloween festivities fill the area around Shibuya Station, a mysterious “veil” suddenly descends, trapping countless civilians inside.

Entering the scene alone is Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the modern era. However, curse users and cursed spirits plotting to seal Gojo are lying in wait. Yuji Itadori and many other jujutsu sorcerers gather in Shibuya, and an unprecedented large-scale clash of curses, the “Shibuya Incident,” begins.

The battle then leads into the deadly killing game known as the “Culling Game,” orchestrated by the worst sorcerer in history, Kenjaku (Noritoshi Kamo). After the Shibuya Incident, ten barriers across Japan turn into demon-infested colonies.

Amid this overwhelming chaos, special grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu stands in Yuji’s path as the appointed executioner of his death sentence. Even in despair, Yuji continues to fight on, while Okkotsu mercilessly turns his blade toward him. The chaos of curses accelerates.

Yuji and Yuta, two sorcerers who share the same teacher, are drawn into a fierce battle to the death——.
