Jujutsu Kaisen: Can Gojo heal his arm? CrunchyrollIn the recent Jujutsu Kaisen chapter, Mahoraga slashes Gojo’s arm off. Can the strongest sorcerer alive heal such an injury? Jujutsu Kaisen’s recent chapter takes an unexpected turn as the three-on-one battle works in Sukuna’s favor. After regaining consciousness, Sukuna joins Mahoraga in the fight and creates a gigantic Shikigami by merging Nue and Totality. Naturally, with Gojo’s Infinity rendered useless against Mahoraga, he has no choice but to take on the defensive. In the recent chapter, Mahoraga spins a wheel before slashing off Gojo’s arm, surprising everyone witnessing the fight. However, such an injury isn’t enough to stop the strongest sorcerer alive. Gojo isn’t fazed by it and instead mocks Agito for being unworthy of being in the fight. He instantly kills the new Shikigami before planning to launch his Hollow Purple Technique. Delve deeper to find out if Gojo can heal his arm again. Gojo can heal his arm with Reverse Cursed Technique Normally, regenerating an arm is impossible for any sorcerer, regardless of how strong they are. However, Reverse Cursed Technique has the ability to help Gojo get his arm back. It’s a complex technique that converts negative cursed energy into positive energy. It is primarily used to heal or regenerate and requires multiplying two sources of cursed energy by one other. In the Jujutsu Kaisen prequel movie, Maki fights with Geto to stop him from attacking Yuta. Geto easily defeats her since she is no match against the special-grade sorcerer. Apart from the severe injuries, Geto also crushes Maki’s leg completely. In normal circumstances, Maki would never have been able to walk again. However, Yuta heals her with the Reverse Cursed Technique, and she is stronger than ever. Naturally, as the strongest sorcerer alive, Gojo can also easily heal himself. The only reason he doesn’t heal his arm right away in chapter 234 is because his Reverse Cursed Technique is lacking output. He also has to worry about three powerful opponents. Therefore, Gojo cannot be bothered to waste his energy on healing his arm when his opponents can use this chance to attack him. However, the final panel of the chapter briefly shows Gojo, who has a confident smile. His arm is also in the middle of regeneration, as can be seen in the same panel. The details aren’t clear, and half of his arm is still missing, so it can be difficult to notice at first glance. How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023?

Jujutsu Kaisen fans can’t get enough of Cartoon Network-style revamp CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen is consistently stunning as an anime, but one fan has reimagined the property as an American cartoon from the early 2000s, and we’re a bit obsessed. Since the anime premiered in October 2020, Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the biggest franchises within the medium. The manga by Gege Akutami was already popular, then the anime show took Yuji and the school of dark sorcery to new heights with intriguing worldbuilding and some gut-wrenching characterization. MAPPA has been doing an amazing job bringing the manga to life, but another version, drawing inspiration from classic Cartoon Network shows, has sparked our imagination for what could be. Plenty of fans agree, too. Jujutsu Kaisen looks amazing as a Cartoon Network series Jujutsu Kaisen redone in the style of a late ’90s/early 2000s show from Cartoon Network has been posted to TikTok, and it looks amazing. User @shizzeka posted a gallery of various scenes involving the characters, and they nail the vibe so well it has me wondering if a spin-off isn’t possible. As comments point out, the style of Genndy Tartakovsky’s Samurai Jack would absolutely suit Jujutsu Kaisen. Cartoon Network commissioned a number of properties with heavy influence from anime, such as Samurai Jack and Xaolin Showdown, so there’s some crossover. These images have cult classic written all over them – something that only lasted a couple of seasons, but resonates forever in our collective nostalgia. Sadly, this is just a flight of fancy, but the main show is made by MAPPA so we’re definitely not left wanting. We’re waiting for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 right now, since the second season finished late last year. If nothing else, this has only made our anticipation grow. If, like us, you’re burning with excitement, check out our list of the best anime like Demon Slayer.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226: Gojo’s counterattack to Sukuna’s Domain Expansion CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen chapter 226 continues the final showdown between Gojo and Sukuna. The much-awaited fight between the two strongest characters in the series has fans at the edge of their seats. Here’s how Gojo turns the table against Sukuna in the recent chapter. The fight between Gojo and Sukuna is something fans have been anticipating since the beginning of the series. Now that Sukuna has taken full control over Megumi’s body, it is up to Gojo again to save the day. Although Gojo is confident about his victory, anything can happen in a battle of life and death. This is why fans feared the worse when Sukuna managed to land a fatal blow to Gojo in the previous chapter. It didn’t help that the attack hit when Gojo was in Sukuna’s Domain. Regardless of his limitless cursed energy or Six Eyes, when someone as strong as Gojo has to fight cautiously against this powerful entity, the embodiment of curses. Luckily for fans, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226 reveals Gojo gaining the upper hand against Sukuna. Delve deeper to find out what happened in the recent chapter. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226 completely changes the course of the battle The previous chapter shows Gojo at a disadvantage after having his neck slashed by Sukuna. It didn’t help that the chapter ended with a cliffhanger, leaving fans with mixed emotions. However, in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 226, Gojo easily recovers from that using his “Reversed Cursed Technique.” Not only that, but he is finally taking the fight seriously as he is trapped in Sukuna’s refined Domain Expansion. Gojo uses Simple Domain and stops healing himself to close in on Sukuana. Once he gets close enough to launch a devastating blow to the Sukuna, destroying the shrine in the process. Sukuna’s Domain Expansion, “Malevolent Shrine,” takes the form of a Buddhist Shrine with skulls and all kinds of creepy things hanging out of it. While it is true that Domain Expansion dramatically increases one’s chances at victory, it’s not impossible for sorcerers like Gojo to counter it. Gojo realizes that the centre of the Domain is actually the shrine and not Sukuna. Mei Mei states that the Shrine cannot be destroyed because it does not exist in reality. Therefore, Gojo uses “Cursed Technique Reversal: Red” to seriously damage Sukuna and his Domain. While the battle of the strongest is far from over, things are taking a turn for the better, with Gojo finally pulling out all the stops to ensure his victory. The chapter ends with Sukuna having serious injuries while Gojo expresses his annoyance toward having to deal with all this. Jujutsu Kaisen manga is available on Viz and Mangaplus.

Jujutsu Kaisen author reveals Toji’s surprising influence on Geto CrunchyrollThe author of Jujutsu Kaisen has opened up about how Toji had a surprising influence on Geto. In the Jujutsu Kaisen Official Guide Book, the author Gege Akutami answered some fan questions, one of which concerned Geto’s habit of calling non-sorcerer humans “monkeys” and whether the habit was influenced by Toji Fushiguro. During the Hidden Inventory Arc, Toji defeated Suguru Geto after seemingly killing Satoru Gojo, the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer of the modern era. It was then that Toji said his famous line: “But you guys, with all your blessed talents, lost to a monkey like me who can’t even use Jujutsu.” Later, after Geto lost his trust in the system of the Jujutsu world and his hatred for non-sorcerers overwhelmed his conscience, he began addressing the non-sorcerer humans as “monkeys”. Given the timeframe of the two incidents and the specificity of the word, the fan took the opportunity to ask the author for confirmation. The question and the author’s answer came to light thanks to a fan post on X. The Jujutsu Kaisen author confirmed that Geto was indeed inspired by Toji to address the non-sorcerers as “monkeys”. He also revealed that when Toji said the line, Geto was asleep, so he learned it subconsciously from the Sorcerer Killer. This little detail makes Toji an even more important character in the story. While he appears briefly in the story, his influence plays a major role overall. He was responsible for Gojo awakening his true power and was the one to tell Gojo about Megumi. Not only that but he also deeply impacted Geto’s story. Toji killing Riko Amanai changed the course of Geto’s life. While it was one of the saddest Jujutsu Kaisen deaths, it also planted the root of Geto’s hatred for the non-sorcerers. This ultimately led to him slaughtering countless non-sorcerers and becoming a curse-user.

Barcelona striker pays tribute to Jujutsu Kaisen while celebrating goal Gege Akutami/MAPPAJujutsu Kaisen proves its global popularity once again as a Barcelona striker has celebrated his latest goal by paying tribute to a beloved character from the series. Jujutsu Kaisen is taking the world by storm. After making a world record as the most in-demand animated series on the planet, the anime has now found its way into pop culture. Over the past year, a number of celebrities have made references to the series, including Megan thee Stallion, Bruno Mars, and Usher. Now, Barcelona striker Marc Guiu has joined the group after the team’s match against Ibiza. FC Barcelona played against ID Ibiza on June 8. Though it was a close game, the former ultimately won the match with goals from Marc Guiu, Pau Víctor, and Unai Hernández. Out of the bunch, Hernández wowed spectators and players alike with a hat-trick. However, the one to catch the attention of anime lovers was Guiu. After scoring a goal against Ibiza, the 18-year-old footballer made a hand gesture that looked exactly like Satoru Gojo’s domain expansion hand sign. Given the celebratory moment and the athlete’s cheeky smile, it’s obvious that the reference was intentional. With this gesture, Guiu made it obvious that he’s a fan of, or at least is familiar with, Jujutsu Kaisen. And like us all, he’s also loves Gojo. Guiu’s Jujutsu Kaisen tribute is a reminder of the many celebrities who’ve expressed their love for the anime show. In 2023, K-pop and anime fans came together to rejoice as BTS’s Jungkook made Gojo’s domain expansion hand sign in a behind-the-scenes clip from the ‘Standing Next to You’ remix music video on which he collaborated with Usher. The global popstar also expressed his love for Gojo and Jujutsu Kaisen in a radio show. While Usher has also proven himself a fan of the series by cosplaying as Gojo. And another celebrity who often cosplays as various anime characters is the rapper Megan thee Stallion. For Jujutsu Kaisen, she dressed up as Sukuna. All these references from celebrities are proof of Jujutsu Kaisen’s global popularity. For more on the show, check out our articles on Yuji’s cursed technique Shrine, Yuta Okkotsu’s Domain Expansion, and the strongest characters Sukuna defeated.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Beloved character wins popularity poll for first time CrunchyrollThe results of the 4th Jujutsu Kaisen popularity poll are finally out, and a beloved character has won it for the first time. While the fight against the strongest sorcerer in history continues, Jujutsu Kaisen‘s manga features several characters playing an active role against the villain. However, even with everyone giving their all, Sukuna is still overwhelmingly strong. Not only is Weekly Shonen Jump featuring Yuji on the cover of this week’s issue, but we also got the results of the 4th official popularity poll — with the cover star pipped to the post. The winner of the fourth poll, held in Japan to mark the manga’s sixth anniversary, has been revealed — and Satoru Gojo has won it for the first time, with Yuji in second place and Megumi in third. Over the years, Yuji, Megumi, and Gojo have dominated the popularity polls, and have always been in the top three in every time. Meanwhile, newbie winner Gojo has been in the limelight for over a year now. He was unsealed in the manga in May 2023 and soon started the highly-anticipated battle of the strongest. Furthermore, his death was a major blow to fans, and he was trending globally. So, the results aren’t particularly surprising. “Everyone quick! Pretend to act surprised,” wrote one fan, while another fan posted, “That’s pretty wild. Gojo was super behind Yuji and Megumi in all previous polls.” “What? Gojo is still the first even if he is dead? Even Akutami is shocked,” commented another. The upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen chapter features the domain clash between Yuta and Sukuna. You can check out the release date and major spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 8 best anime characters like Gojo Satoru CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen has given us several unforgettable characters; however, the most popular one in the franchise is definitely Gojo Satoru. Even though Gojo seems like a unique character to anime fans, there are interestingly some other anime characters that are similar to our beloved “Honored One.” Gojo is loved by the community for his quirky nature and, of course, his overwhelming and dominating strength. We’ve seen several bad guys who are incredibly powerful, but very rarely do we see a good guy flexing the top position in the food chain. But Gojo is one such character. Many fans might agree that Gojo is the reason why Jujutsu Kaisen got so popular. However, recently Gojo hasn’t had a good time in the anime or the manga. While the community will surely miss seeing Gojo on the screens for a while, there are some other similar anime characters to fill that gap. 8. Aizawa Shota (My Hero Academia) First things first, Aizawa Shota’s role in My Hero Academia makes him somewhat similar to Satoru Gojo, as both of them serve as mentors to a group of heroes. However, the style of their teachings is entirely different. Shota’s teaching style is strict, whereas Gojo believes in taking a friendly approach. However, Shota and Gojo are similar in the sense that they are always ready to go to any lengths whenever their students are in danger. Hence, they are not only similar to each other but are also considered the best teachers in the anime world. 7. L (Death Note) L is the most intelligent detective in the Death Note universe. He was the first one to trick Light Yagami, aka Kira, the brutal antagonist of the series. L always takes up the cases he feels are challenging, and he never exposes his true identity to anyone and communicates to the authorities through his assistant. He does this to work secretively and capture the criminals. The most tricky case he got involved in was the one involving Ryuk’s Death Note. For L, it’s his job that comes as the top priority, and that’s what makes him similar to Gojo. Of course, Death Note doesn’t have any power system, and L is simply a human, whereas Gojo flexes powers that can eliminate entire countries. However, L is possibly the smartest person, and in a series where intellect reigns supreme, he can be said to be one of the most powerful people on the planet. So, in that sense, L is a lot like Gojo. We also know that Gojo doesn’t really care about humans; he only does his job as a sorcerer to protect his students. Similarly, L doesn’t care about human life as a whole, and he only goes against Light because, for L, Kira is the only person on the planet who matches his intellect. And, of course, L cared about his idea of Justice. 6. Shigure Sohma (Fruits Basket) Like Gojo Satoru, here comes a handsome man named Shigure Sohma from Fruits Basket. He is a pervert who never fails to use his manipulation skills to get what he wants. Gojo isn’t a pervert, but we know how he can mold every situation in his favor through manipulation. Shigure is most disliked by people around him (like Gojo is hated by his superiors) for his clumsiness and dirty mind. Sohma is also seen as a clown until the situation asks him to bring out his cunning side. Similarly, no one would take Gojo seriously if they only looked at his playful side until, of course, sensei gets serious. Besides that, Sohma and Gojo also share the same voice actor: Yuuichi Nakamura. 5. Joseph Joestar (Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure) Here, we have listed a character from Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure who has a comic timing similar to Satoru Gojo. He never fails to make the viewers laugh until their stomach aches. That’s because there have been several instances where we got to see Joestar flaunting his humor in the middle of fierce fights. For the time being, we can say that it’s his carefree and humorous attitude that makes him someone who matches the level of Gojo. Yes, he is a potent fighter, but he definitely has a long way to go in order to match Gojo’s overpowered abilities. 4. Saitama (One-Punch Man) Saitama is undoubtedly the strongest character the anime industry has introduced us to. He is someone who holds the capability to knock anyone out with just one punch. There is one instance in One-Punch Man where Saitama fights Garou in outer space, but suddenly he sneezes after getting cold. Well, his sneeze destroyed the major portion of the huge planet Jupiter. Hence, we know how overpowered he is. Now, if we talk about the humor, Saitama doesn’t always intentionally act funny, but it’s his actions, or should we say his naivety, that make him a hilarious character. For instance, in the House of Evolution story arc, when Saitama is fighting against the monster Carnage Kabuto, he remembers that it’s the bargain day at the local supermarket, and he can’t resist screaming the supermarket’s name throughout the battle. That scene made us remember Gojo’s introduction in JJK, where he was talking about a Sendai delicacy while fighting Sukuna for the first time. So, it’s not only Saitama’s fighting skills but also his humorous side that make him an anime character who seems similar to Gojo. 3. Luffy (One Piece) Luffy is one of the characters who matches the level of Satoru Gojo’s hilarity through his cute gestures and actions. For the time being, Luffy is not as strong as Gojo, but seeing his determination toward his dream, one day he may become the strongest pirate in the One Piece universe. Luffy has met several dangerous villains since the beginning of the series, and despite not being able to match their cruelty, he has protected himself and his friends every time using his basic devil fruit powers. So, it would be fair to say that if Luffy met Gojo somewhere in the parallel universe, we would have seen him developing a similar relationship with the sensei as he holds with Shanks. 2. Kakashi (Naruto) Similar to how Gojo is a teacher in Jujutsu Kaisen, Kakashi serves as a mentor in the Naruto universe. Apart from that, Kakashi’s white hair and eye mask make him even more similar to our favorite sensei in terms of appearance. Even though Kakashi has gone through massive emotional damage throughout his past life, he never fails to act humble with whoever he crosses paths with. He seems to be the most laid-back character in Naruto, who does not take anything seriously and rather chooses to be unruffled. On top of everything, like Satoru, he also doesn’t stay behind whenever a threat looms over him or his people, especially students. 1. Killua (Hunter X Hunter) Killua comes from the Hunter X Hunter universe, and flaunts a similar body stature and personality traits as Gojo. Some might say he is like the younger version of the blindfolded sensei. Given that Jujutsu Kaisen is inspired by the dark fantasy manga Hunter X Hunter, it’s obvious the two series have a lot of similarities. But the most intriguing detail is that seeing Killua, every JJK fan can imagine him being an exact copy of Gojo after growing up. Killua also comes with limitless prowess and from a powerful family (sound familiar?), and he fights every danger that comes his way. We recently saw Kid Gojo in the anime series (being voiced by Killua’s voice actor), and we can’t deny that he looked exactly like Killua. However, the one difference between these characters is that Gojo does not get scared of even the biggest foes, but Killua is not confident about his powers when he has to go one-on-one with the ones he thinks are more powerful than him. See our other JJK coverage below, and you can check out our other anime coverage here.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 12 best Satoru Gojo quotes ranked CrunchyrollAs the most popular character of Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo has delivered many thought-provoking statements in the series. So, here’s a list of his 12 best quotes. Jujutsu Kaisen’s most beloved character, Satoru Gojo, always appears as a happy-go-lucky eccentric instructor. However, the more we know him, the more we understand the depth of his character. Gojo is a difficult character to describe in a few words. He is arrogant about his powers but also kind enough to help those in need. He became a teacher despite being aware of his flawed personality. But nothing can change how lovable he is. He is also the series’ most popular character. Satoru Gojo is usually goofy and over the top, but occasionally, he drops some incredibly thought-provoking statements. We’ve listed down the 12 best quotes from him. Warning: Quotes 2, 3, and 7 contain spoilers from manga! 12. “It’ll be fine. After all, you’re weak.” Season 1 Episode 7 Other than Gojo, no one has the guts to call a curse like Jogo weak. Having the power equal to seven or eight of Sukuna’s fingers proves that Jogo is one of the most powerful curses in existence. But Gojo defeated him way too easily, and that hurt Jogo’s pride. However, the best part about this quote from Satoru Gojo is that he isn’t being arrogant or sarcastic but simply stating facts. In the face of someone as godly as the wielder of Six Eyes, Jogo would no doubt appear terribly weak. 11. “I’ve always been a nice guy who cares for my students.” Season 1 Episode 5 Satoru Gojo almost never expresses his true feelings, so it’s rare for him to be angry about something. Yet, when Yuji dies, thanks to the schemes of the higher-ups, Gojo is angry enough to say he wants to kill everyone. Shoko, his friend since high school, easily figures out he has a soft spot for Yuji. However, Gojo says that he cares for his students while also complimenting himself. Gojo isn’t selflessly nurturing students since he wants their strength in return. His statement is also true since he always prioritizes their well-being. Hence, Gojo’s one simple statement is enough to express his duality. 10. “I want to reset that garbage Jujutsu world.” Season 1 Episode 6 Jujutsu Kaisen reveals Gojo’s dream pretty early in the story, but we only learn the depth of it in his flashback arc. Gojo knows how rotten the foundation of the Jujutsu world is, but simply killing the higher-ups won’t solve the issue. Therefore, despite being the strongest sorcerer, he works at the bottom of the hierarchy to bring about a revolution by gathering trustworthy allies. Those allies can only be found through education. Gojo is aware of his flawed personality, which makes him unsuitable for being a teacher. However, he still does everything in his power to set the world on the right track. 9. “Dying to win and risking death to win… are completely different.” Season 1 Episode 23 The scene appears in a flashback when Megumi is fighting a special-grade curse womb. It’s rare for the young sorcerer to request Gojo for more training, especially, so the latter is more than happy to comply. Gojo often treats his students as children, but he also realistically prepares them for the absolute worst. He doesn’t hold back during physical strength and knows the strengths and weaknesses of his students, like the back of his hand. Gojo is aware that Megumi relies too much on his trump card (Mahoraga) in difficult situations, so he suggests the young sorcerer give up on trying to win by sacrificing his life. 8. “Maybe it’s good night for me, but it’s time for you to wake up.” Season 2 Episode 10 Satoru Gojo has been sealed in the Shibuya arc, but we see a major plot twist just before it happens. Turns out someone else has occupied Geto’s body and is using his technique for evil. Gojo is completely devastated after seeing this. He also falls into the enemy’s trap but doesn’t forget to communicate with Geto before getting sealed. Gojo also says, “How can you let yourself get used like that, Suguru?” Despite being dead, Geto’s consciousness compelled his hand to grab his neck. It looked too powerful in the anime, but it was nothing more than a desperate attempt from Geto’s soul. 7. “If you were among those patting my back, then I might’ve been satisfied.” Chapter 236 Gojo’s biggest regret in life was not being able to save his best friend, Geto. Despite choosing different paths in life, the two still valued one another. Gojo being forced to kill his best friend was probably the most difficult thing he had to do. And yet, Geto took that with a sad smile on his face. Still, Geto is the first person Gojo sees after dying. He poured out his heart in front of him as he talked about leaving the world without regrets. He had fun fighting Sukuna, but he only wished Geto would’ve been among those patting his back before the fight (Chapter 222). This simple quote expresses the lifelong remorse that he carries with him, even in death. 6. “No one’s allowed to take youth away from young people.” Jujutsu Kaisen 0 & Season 1 Episode 6 Satoru Gojo never wants young people to live alone and suffer. During his high school years, he suffered a terrible betrayal from his best friend. He was also unable to protect Riko Amanai, which he always regretted. Gojo’s life was never the same since then, and he always felt lonely. Naturally, he would never wish for the same fate to befall his beloved students. He says this quote in the movie after arguing with the elders for Yuta’s sake. Gojo says something similar in Season 1 when he wants Yuji to join the Sister School Exchange Event. Yuji may be a target of the higher-ups, but that wouldn’t stop Gojo from letting the kid enjoy the best years of his life. 5. “This is my personal theory, but there’s no curse more twisted than love.” Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Yuta always believed Rika cursed him after dying, but the reality turned out to be completely opposite. Gojo’s statement on love is baffling, especially when it comes from someone like him who never allows anyone to get close to him. He is talking about Yuta’s tragic love, but there’s a deeper meaning to it that reflects his past. This quote makes complete sense after we learn about Gojo’s past and his friendship with Geto. Despite everything Geto did, Gojo could never bear to hate him. His “twisted” feelings refer to his refusal to kill Geto in the past. However, in the end, Geto did die, and at the hands of Gojo, no less. But the two still considered each other as best friends. 4. “Don’t worry, I’m the strongest.” Season 1 Episode 2 Gojo is someone overflowing with confidence, but it’s not baseless. Someone with godly powers like him deserves to say he’s the strongest. After Gojo says this, he fights Sukuna and easily defeats him. Gojo calls himself the strongest at the beginning of the story, but it isn’t until later we find out what it really means and the burden he has to carry. Gojo was never once happy being on top. Being the strongest looks like a good thing at first, but it’s nothing more than a shackle in a broken world of Jujutsu Kaisen. The Jujutsu world depends way too much on him and pays the price for it in the Shibuya arc. 3. “I wanted him to know it was fun.” Chapter 236 Gojo’s death had turned the entire Jujutsu Kaisen community upside down. He dies while fighting Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. Because Gojo was the strongest, he never used a fraction of his power against any opponent. Therefore, despite losing against Sukuna, Gojo was happy. It was the first time he enjoyed a battle and the last time as well. Gojo was satisfied dying at the hands of someone stronger than him. In the end, even Sukuna declared his respect for the strongest sorcerer of the modern era. 2. “Nah, I’d Win.” Chapter 221 Gojo’s quote, “Nah, I’d win,” has become so popular in 2023 that even those who haven’t watched JJK know about it. Social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter/X are still flooded with memes about this quote, and the hype doesn’t seem to die down anytime soon. Chapter features Gojo’s return to the series after three years, but it also confirms the highly-anticipated battle of the strongest. Gojo first challenges Kenjaku, and Sukuna comes forward to fight him. After Gojo didn’t win the battle of the strongest, fans started mocking him for this quote. However, nothing can change the fact that it was one of his most iconic quotes. 1. “Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one.” Season 2 Episode 4 After realizing the true extent of his powers, Gojo is unable to feel any hatred or anger as he declares himself the honored one. This quote originates from Lotus Sūtra, one of the most influential and venerated Buddhist Mahāyāna sūtras. These were true words of Buddha, who proclaimed himself the world’s mightiest being. Gege Akutami uses this as a reference to explain Gojo’s existence as someone far beyond an ordinary human. Gojo is the most powerful sorcerer in the modern era. Despite being human, Gojo’s powers appear divine, something the world hasn’t seen in centuries. The statement appears arrogant, but it’s not when the one saying that has enough power to back it up. Had it not been for Sukuna, Gojo would’ve thrived as the strongest being in the history of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen anime has one way it could improve the manga Gege Akutami/ShueishaJujutsu Kaisen fans think the anime can solve some of the manga’s short and off-screen fights. With the Jujutsu Kaisen ending drawing close, readers are looking back at the unanswered questions and unsatisfying battles in the series. While the manga is known for its intense (and consecutive) fight scenes, some get more attention than others. This is noticed more prominently in the ongoing Shinjuku Showdown Arc. While we see an extensive clash between Sukuna and the jujutsu sorcerers, Hakari vs. Uraume is kept on the sidelines. Since the manga has four chapters left, it’s unlikely that we’ll see a satisfactory fight between the two. Besides Hakari and Uraume, the manga also doesn’t give a lot of screen time to Kashimo, one of the strongest members from the heroes’ side. His encounter against Sukuna is dealt with fairly quickly, leaving fans disappointed. Thus, readers are looking forward to a better adaptation of the battles in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime. The show has previously extended certain fights – like Sukuna vs. Mahoraga – and has arguably elevated them with amazing animation. Fans hope Hakari vs. Uraume and Sukuna vs. Kashimo will receive the same treatment. Some even want a lengthier clash between Kenjaku and Yuta as the villain is killed in an instant by the young sorcerer in the manga. “I think it’s inevitable, the manga wouldn’t be ending when it is if Gege was in perfect health imo. So I’d be shocked if the anime doesn’t flesh some stuff out that he’s not been able to do in the manga,” commented one Reddit user. “I’m hoping Kashimo gets the Toji vs Megumi treatment,” wrote another, while a third added: “Almost every major fight in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 had extensions, so it’s a safe bet that we will see a lot of that going forward, especially in the later chapters.” “Definitely, at this point we could consider that Hakari vs Uraume is getting the Gojo vs Miguel treatment (off screen fight mf),” joined a fourth. “We could only hope with anime-only scenes in the future now. And for Kenjaku vs Yuta, I mean it’s an ambush bro, not a fight. It doesn’t need to be extended.” As Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is adapting the Culling Game Arc, seeing the final arc on the screen won’t be possible for a long time. Until then, check out all major character deaths in the series and why the manga’s ending already seems unsatisfying.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Mahoraga’s exorcism ritual explained CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen’s recent episode features Mahoraga’s anime debut as Megumi begins an exorcism ritual by summoning him. Here’s how it works. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 had already teased Mahoraga’s appearance last week, and Episode 17 marks its anime debut. Megumi tried to summon a Shikigami several times in dire situations but always stopped before doing it. Not only that, but Gojo had also warned him against using his “trump card,” and we finally know what that is. An untamed monstrous Shikigami that no sorcerer has been able to exorcise in history is surely something to fear. The Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga is a double-edged sword. Since Megumi cannot control it, he can only summon him for an exorcism ritual. Megumi reveals vital information about his Ten Shadows Technique in the recent episode. Mahoraga’s exorcism ritual in Jujutsu Kaisen The inheritor of the Ten Shadows Technique receives two Divine Dogs at a young age. The user can summon other Shikigami for an exorcism ritual. Once defeated, the Shikigami are entirely within their master’s control and can be called upon by making shadowgraphic hand gestures, which project the appropriate familiar’s shadow puppet onto a surface. The shadows serve as an intermediary for the shikigami conjuration. It reflects the shape of the user’s hand-woven shadow puppet and creates the shikigami from tangible liquid shadows via cursed energy. After acquiring more Shikigami, the user can repeat the ritual process to exorcise and collect up to ten distinct Shikigami. However, no one in the history of Zenin Clan has been able to tame Mahoraga because of how strong it is. In the recent episode of Jujutsu Kaisen, Megumi initiates an exorcism ritual for Mahoraga and forces Haruta to participate in the exorcism ritual. Megumi passes out soon after starting the ritual. According to his plan, Mahoraga will kill Haruta and end the ritual. Megumi will also die as a result. However, Sukuna interfered and didn’t let Mahoraga kill Haruta. He reveals that he still has plans for Megumi and heals him with the Reverse Cursed Technique. He then destroyed the Shikigami himself before losing control of Yuji’s body. Because Sukuna is not a part of the ritual, he defeated Mahoraga just to make it void.

Jujutsu Kaisen fans think the anime got one manga scene very wrong CrunchyrollMAPPA has done a pretty solid job adapting Jujutsu Kaisen for the screen so far. However, fans do have some issues, and one of them is an inconsistency from the manga that’s split the fandom. Jujutsu Kaisen is firmly established as one of the best anime going right now. It’s become so mainstream, Megan Thee Stallion cosplayed a Jujutsu Kaisen character right before the anime show swept the Crunchyroll anime awards. But all that adoration shouldn’t come at the cost of highlighting problems, and Jujutsu Kaisen has a few. Certain scenes haven’t had the polish fans expect, occasionally leading to newer versions on home media. But in other cases, the issues stem from MAPPA’s adaptation misfiring on a beat from Gege Akutami’s manga, and a particular moment reopened that can of worms recently. Jujutsu Kaisen anime broke canon from the manga A Jujutsu Kaisen fan points out that in the anime, Toji manages to block a move from Gojo using the Inverted Spear of Heaven, a special weapon that negates any cursed energy. It’s a cool scene, but not what happens in the manga, where Toji just withstands Gojo’s assault outright in order to defend his cursed spirit. The moment is definitely executed differently, but just how different is open to interpretation. “The visuals might actually account for this when the blade had to ‘puncture’ Gojo’s barrier to stab him,” says one commenter. “The knife cuts techniques like it does flesh but that wouldn’t apply here.” The debate turns to what we actually see. “Does the manga show he tanked it? It shows red being fired and then Toji against the wall. You don’t see where he was hit,” says another user. This wrinkle leads to others being mentioned, to demonstrate the anime is a different animal to the manga. “The final episode of the series has a news crew killed by one of the curses fake Geto unleashed, just before the camera guy dies he catches the curse on camera and people watching at home are shocked to see it, just before a curse bursts through their wall and kills them too,” reads one comment. “But both the anime and manga established that a cursed spirit won’t show up on a normal camera.” Adaptations always lead to changes that don’t work for everyone. What’s important is capturing the spirit of the source material, and Jujutsu Kaisen achieves that for sure.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Are Choso and Yuji really brothers? CrunchyrollIn Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 13, it is suggested that Choso and Yuji are brothers, as Choso recollects a distant memory. However, the veracity of this revelation is not confirmed. Jujutsu Kaisen’s recent episode features the highly-anticipated fight between Yuji and Choso. The fight is, without a doubt, the highlight of the arc. Fans are already going wild over the insane animation and the level of detail put into it. Choso is clearly indifferent when dealing with Gojo, but he has a personal score to settle with Yuji. Despite being strong, Yuji is easily overwhelmed by Choso’s Blood Manipulation technique, which is the innate technique of the Kamo Clan. As the fight draws near its end, Choso sees a vision of himself and his brothers hanging out together, but surprisingly, Yuji is one of those brothers. Does that mean Choso and Yuji are real brothers despite having different origins? Is it possible for Yuji and Choso to be brothers? Yuji is a human, while Choso is a reincarnated Cursed Womb: Death Painting, so he cannot be defined as either a curse or a human. However, despite being so different, both of them are technically half-brothers. A few centuries ago, Kenjaku possessed Noritoshi Kamo’s body and used Choso’s mother to give birth to him and the rest of his siblings. Centuries later, Kenjaku possessed Kaori Itadori and gave birth to Yuji for some unknown reasons. Hence, although Choso and Yuji aren’t biologically related, considering them brothers wouldn’t be wrong. Choso, being the eldest brother, cherishes all his siblings, and JJK’s protagonist is no different. Although he was ready to kill Yuji to avenge Eso and Kechizu, he changed his mind after seeing that fake memory. Since then, Choso has been very protective of Yuji and supports him in every way. In the manga, he changed sides and turned to Yuji since he’s only remaining brother. Choso also stopped blaming Yuji for the deaths of Eso and Kechizu. Instead, he blames himself since they died after he decided to side with Kenjaku. He fears that, just like his younger brothers, Yuji will also be left alone because of his foolish choices.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Are Gojo’s powers overrated? YouTube/TOHOJujutsu Kaisen not only kills Gojo but also introduces several sorcerers having enough potential to surpass him – does that mean he was overrated all along? Jujutsu Kaisen’s beloved Satoru Gojo fights against the King of Curses in the ongoing Shinjuku Showdown Arc. The battle goes on for a few months before ending with Gojo’s defeat. Not only does Sukuna kill Gojo with ease, but he doesn’t even use a fraction of his powers. Sukuna only takes his final form after defeating Gojo. Additionally, the series has way too many characters with the potential to surpass Satoru Gojo. The fact that Gojo is the strongest sorcerer of the modern era means he’s leagues apart from others. He can easily kill Hanami when Todo and Yuji struggle against the same opponent. However, Jujutsu Kaisen reveals several characters, such as Fumihiko Takaba, Hiromi Higuruma, Yuta Okkotsu, Yuji Itadori, and even Kinji Hakari are capable of surpassing him. The series is still ongoing, so there could be more characters with that potential. But if everyone has the ability to surpass Satoru Gojo, does that mean Jujutsu Kaisen overhyped him from the beginning? Why is Gojo called the strongest sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen? To start with, Gojo is the first child born with Six Eyes in over 400 years. The power is rare and valuable, and no one can even compare it to the level of strength he has been born with. Gojo’s birth altered the very balance of the world. Before his birth, crimes revolving around curse users were common occurrences. On the other hand, Jujutsu sorcerers had their hands full with the increasing number of cursed spirits, and not many would target the users. The overall power of humans in the world was weaker than ever. However, all that changed around 28 years ago. The decline of the Jutusu world halted with just a mere child, and the curse users were never able to commit crimes freely. The curses’ increasing strength is also because of Gojo. As such, the overall quality of Jujutsu sorcerers increased dramatically over the years. Gojo knows his abilities better than anyone. During his fight with Toji, he calls himself “the honored one.” Even Kenjaku, one of the most terrifying villains in the series, didn’t risk fighting Gojo, but his entire plan centered around sealing him inside the Prison Realm. After Gojo gets unsealed, Kenjaku hides behind Sukuna before the battle of the strongest. The ancient curse user knows that Gojo can kill him with ease. Even during the battle of the strongest, Gojo proves his might as he drags and throws Sukuna across the battlefield. But that doesn’t change his fate of dying brutally. The series also reveals that he was never a decent matchup against Sukuna, meaning all the time Gojo claimed that he could defeat the King of Curses was nothing but a way to hype up his character. Are Gojo’s powers overrated in Jujutsu Kaisen? Before we delve further into this question, we need to go back to the very first conversation between Principal Gakuganji and Satoru Gojo (Chapter 18). Gojo mentions his encounter with Jogo, an unregistered curse capable of communication. It’s not only the curses, but being an educator, Gojo knows firsthand how much the quality of young sorcerers is rising. Students like Yuta, Hakari, and Todo are popping up these days, unlike his time when there were barely decent first-grade sorcerers. Given enough time, he knows that these students are capable of achieving what his generation couldn’t do. Additionally, Gojo also mentions the appearance of Sukuna’s vessel, the first one in over a thousand years. Considering all these scenarios, he declares that there will soon come a time when the new generation won’t be limited to special grades. The wave of power that the top brass are desperately clinging to is more than what they can handle now. This new power that Gojo speaks of could refer to newly awakened sorcerers like Higuruma and Takaba. After all, they’re not like the conventional sorcerers since they had their powers awakened thanks to Kenjaku’s scheme. They both showed tremendous growth in two months and with enough practice, they could’ve stood at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world. However, despite their potential, they’re still leagues apart from Gojo. The same goes for Gojo’s students. Therefore, Gojo’s powers were never overrated in Jujutsu Kaisen. Even though Gojo said Sukuna didn’t need Megumi’s powers to defeat him, there’s actually no explanation as to how the villain could’ve passed through Gojo’s Infinity without Mahoraga’s ability. The entire time, Sukuna vs Gojo was a two-on-one battle. The series hyped Gojo up for a valid reason. He has set a bar for other sorcerers who have yet to achieve it. As for losing against Sukuna, the villain is simply a force of nature. Regardless of how much fans love him, Gojo is not the main character. Hence, Gojo defeating Sukuna was never possible to begin with. See our other JJK coverage below, and you can check out our other anime coverage here.

Jujutsu Kaisen anime announces Culling Game Arc Studio MAPPAJujutsu Kaisen Season 2 and the Shibuya Incident arc has come to an end. But the excitement isn’t over for fans of the series. The Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 finale aired today, concluding one of the most heart-breaking seasons across all of anime history. But, a shock announcement means that the excitement isn’t over yet for fans of the series. Following recent controversy surrounding Studio MAPPA, concerns grew over the status of the anime’s next season. However, all worries were put to rest following the sudden announcement of the Culling Game arc. Let’s take a look at the announcement and just released teaser trailer. Jujutsu Kaisen Culling Game arc announced On December 20, Studio MAPPA officially announced that they were working on production of the next installment for Jujutsu Kaisen: the Culling Game arc. After breathtaking, heart-racing weeks of fighting in the streets of Tokyo, resulting in the deaths of many beloved characters, Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Incident arc has finally come to an end. Now, we’re onto the Culling Game. So, what can fans expect to see? The announcement displayed animated characters from the manga including Yuji Itadori, his brother Choso and the Executioner’s Sword. Although it’s only 20 seconds long, it’s teasing fans that another epic season is on its way. But, at the time of this article’s writing, we don’t know when this arc will premiere. What’s the Culling Game arc about? The Culling Game Arc is the 9th arc in Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen. The Culling Game is a conflict which follows the Shibuya Incident and is orchestrated by the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku, with the aim of ushering in a new golden age of jujutsu sorcery. If you were alarmed by the number of deaths in the Shibuya Incident. The Culling Game is even more brutal. It’s been described as a Darwinian death ritual or battle royale, that pits sorcerers and non-sorcerers (called players) against each other. In this game, the players gain points by killing each other. It sounds simple enough, but there are eight rules all participants must follow: As soon as a player has awakened their cursed technique, they must participate in the Culling Game at a colony of their choice within 19 days – Any player who breaks the first rule will be subject to cursed technique removal, resulting in their death – Non-players who enter a colony will become players. But civilians trapped inside a barrier at the beginning of the game, will be allowed to exit safely – Players score points by killing other players – The game master awards points based on the value of the player’s life. Sorcerers are worth five points and non-sorcerers are worth one point – Participants can use 100 points in exchange for adding a new rule to the Culling Game – The game master must accept any new rule, with the exception that it doesn’t have a lasting effect on the game – If a participant’s score remains the same for 19 days, their cursed technique will be removed and they will die. – So, now you know the rules, let the games begin.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 releases an unfinished episode CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 surprised fans with the insane animation, but there were lots of unfinished scenes. Here’s everything we know about it. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 features the most intense fight in the series as Sukuna arrives just in time to defeat Mahoraga and save Megumi. The episode features a key hint about Sukuna’s plans with Megumi, the fight between two monsters, the destruction of Shibuya, Yuji’s breakdown, and a cliffhanger about Nanami. So much happened in the mere 20 minutes of the episode, and things will only get worse from this point on. The episode even had cuts from Vincent Chansard, one of the One Piece animators who contributed to the Gear 5 episodes, Zoro vs. King, and several incredible episodes. While fans have nothing but praise for the recent JJK episode, they have also noticed that a lot of scenes look unpolished and incomplete. As such, one of the animators has revealed the truth behind it. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 wasn’t finished One of the JJK animators shared that the episode was not finished, and only 30% of the initial vision was present on the screen. They also expressed their distress over the difficult work schedule, but the post was soon deleted. The incomplete episode is not a secret among the fandom, as many have come forward to share their thoughts on it. One user’s comment reads: “According to what I’ve read so far, at least the plane sequence and the shrine drawings were incomplete. The more I read, the more I want a redo of the best episode I’ve seen so far in JJK.” Another user says: “The episode was amazing but also objectively incomplete. One of the animators on the episode said they only gotta do like 30% of what they planned bc of the schedule.” Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’s production meltdown isn’t a secret among fans, as they often criticize MAPPA for overworking its employees. Animators are requesting an episode delay, but the production team has rejected them. The preview stills of the recent episode were also delayed by 4-5 hours, which goes to show that animators are working on the episodes till the last minute before the release time. The workload is only increasing, and several animators expressed their dissatisfaction on Twitter/X. Despite the recurring controversies, MAPPA has yet to address the complaints about its alleged working conditions.

Jujutsu Kaisen animator responds to complaints over unfinished episode CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen’s animator speaks out about the controversial unfinished episode of Season 2. Here’s what we know about it. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 features the most intense fight in the series as Sukuna arrives just in time to defeat Mahoraga and save Megumi. The episode features a key hint about Sukuna’s plans with Megumi, the fight between two monsters, the destruction of Shibuya, Yuji’s breakdown, and a cliffhanger about Nanami. The episode even had cuts from Vincent Chansard, one of the One Piece animators who contributed to the Gear 5 episodes, Zoro vs. King, and several incredible episodes. While fans have plenty of praise for the recent JJK episode, they also noticed that a lot of scenes look unpolished and incomplete. As such, one of the animators shared two statements about the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 being unfinished. Jujutsu Kaisen animator shares two statements over the unfinished episode One of the animators, RocciaNobili shared on November 17: “Episode #17 of JJK S2 is not finished. I am happy so many people are liking it, but I wish the staff was able to finish it. As it stands right now, what is present on screen is 30% of the intended vision.” The animator also shared their distress over the poor working conditions before deleting the post. However, it caught people’s attention. On November 21, the same animator again shared: “Just a heads up, my tweet was deleted because people were misinterpreting it. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have used a number. People focused on dumb numbers instead of what actually mattered. I never correlated that number to a dumb ‘completion’ checkpoint but to the vision.” One user commented on the same post: “No problem, but please please think before you tweet. As someone who actually worked on the show, and also the current state of the industry, your word is very very powerful. I’m your side, but more than you, I’m on the side of integrity.” Another comment reads: “I liked the episode it’s a hard-to-follow episode but I watched way too many shows so I think I’m judging this critically but yeah it’s a good episode and sometimes it goes crazy.” Jujutsu Kaisen leaker Mya also supported the animator: “LATEST JUJUTSU KAISEN EPISODE (#17) WAS NOT JUST 30% FINISHED!! Confirmed by the animator himself. So please retweet to spread awareness about the misinformed news about ‘unfinished episode’.” Nonetheless, fans are always supportive of the series and the staff’s hard work. One user commented: “It was an unfinished episode anyways tho, they even said so, of course it was completed to the point it was watchable but still not to the point the animators wanted.” Another user said: “The episode itself is mostly cleaned up, well animated story boarding though, which is entirely on Mappa for not treating its animators with respect and care. It made me so happy and so entirely sad to watch that episode and see how unfinished it is.” How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023 Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen animator teases Maki’s new design in Season 3 NetflixJujutsu Kaisen Season 3 still has a long way to go, but one of the animators is teasing a new design for the fan-favorite character, Maki Zenin. Here’s everything you need to know about it. Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular anime and manga series set in a world where people’s negative emotions unintentionally cursed spirits. To fight these curses, Jujutsu sorcerers use their own cursed energy and put everything on the line to keep the world safe. The series is currently airing its highly-anticipated Shibuya Incident arc in Season 2. It’s the most brutal and tragic arc in Jujutsu Kaisen, triggering the destruction of the Jujutsu society as we know it. Several civilians and fan-favorite characters lose their lives. But those who survive the battle know that they must surpass their limits to save the world. One of those characters is Maki Zenin, who almost loses her life in Shibuya but then comes back stronger than ever. Here’s a sneak peek at her new character design in Jujutsu Kaisen. Warning: This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen manga! Jujutsu Kaisen animator shares a sneak peek at Maki’s new design in Season 3 One of the animators in Jujutsu Kaisen shares a rough draft of Maki’s new design that will appear in Season 3. The drawing isn’t official, but it helps us envision how she will look in the anime – and it’s beautiful. In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, Jogo burns Maki alive to avenge Dagon’s death. Maki suffers various scars on her body. Yuki Tsukumo explains that the only reason Maki survived is thanks to her superhuman strength from the heavenly restriction. Even Reverse Cursed Technique cannot remove those scars as they are engraved in her body like markings. Maki’s new character design first appears in Chapter 144, after she barely recovers from Jogo’s attack. Her new look instantly became popular in the fandom, not only because of how cool she is but also because of what it represents in the Jujutsu society. Maki is a beautiful woman and someone from the direct bloodline of the Zenin Clan. She could’ve led a better life in the patriarchal society of Jujutsu Kaisen if she had enough cursed energy. However, because of what she went through, Maki stood against the Jujutsu norms, and her new character design is a visual representation of that. Naoya Zenin once revealed that the patriarchial Jujutsu society only valued women for their looks. Scars were battle trophies for men but were considered imperfections in women. She defies the beauty standards set by the world as she shines in her own way. Unlike her twin sister Mai, Maki never cared for appearances, even before she was scarred. She’s strong, and those scars are her new identity as she becomes the most revolutionary character in the series.

Jujutsu Kaisen animator’s deleted post sparks more controversy CrunchyrollMAPPA has been under fire for some time as several animators broke their silence around the studio’s reportedly poor working conditions. Well, another post from a JJK animator adds to the controversies, accumulating even more backlash from the fandom. Jujutsu Kaisen was already a famous manga series, but it became an international phenomenon when MAPPA came with its anime adaptation in 2020. However, the ongoing second season flaunts even better animation quality than we witnessed in the first season. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has become one hell of a spectacle because of its flamboyant animation. Moreover, fans can’t get over the fantastic fight scenes that keep on coming our way with each episode. Generally, whenever an anime series/film becomes a trending topic among the community, it is either because of the animation or the elements involved. However, JJK has been in the news lately because of the animation studio, and not for a good reason. Jujutsu Kaisen animator’s dark post has fans worried One of the animators of MAPPA, who was primarily involved in the making of JJK Season 2, shared a post on X/Twitter stating, ‘I want to unalive quickly.’ However, the post was taken off from the medium after 14 minutes. The post somehow became viral through Instagram, so when it was deleted quickly, fans started worrying about the animator’s well-being. We are already familiar with the issues around MAPPA, be it the reportedly toxic environment or the payment negotiations. Apart from that, the studio also has some stringent NDA contracts, which might be one of the biggest reasons why the animator had to delete the post from social media. Previously, a renowned animator from the industry who has also worked for some influential titles like One Piece shared with their followers on X that they never want to work for MAPPA in the future. Besides them, there was another animator whose artwork revealed the disturbed mental health of the studio’s employees. However, it’s worth mentioning that we do not have any concrete proof or official statement from MAPPA regarding these allegations.

Jujutsu Kaisen animators slam MAPPA for poor working conditions CrunchyrollA number of Jujutsu Kaisen animators have spoken out against animation studio MAPPA for the “hell” like working conditions, as staff were made to sign NDAs. MAPPA has become one of the biggest names in the anime world, despite only being founded in 2011. Over the last few years, the studio has wowed fans with its animation work on some of the biggest shows, including Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen. However, its immense growth to the top of the booming anime industry has not been all positive. In 2021, animators hit out against MAPPA for their “factory” like working conditions when producing Attack on Titan, with workers criticizing their decision to work on four shows at the same time. Now, staff are claiming they were made to sign NDAs to not talk about the poor working conditions surrounding their work on Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. Jujutsu Kaisen animators call out MAPPA for “hell” working conditions One user took to Twitter/X to share the situation, in a post that has since gone viral. “MAPPA has just made the Jujutsu Kaisen Staff sign a confidentiality contract so that they do not express complaints about the production,” the user wrote. “They silence the staff because of the hell they go through,” they replied. Despite the non-disclosure agreements, staff members have continued to post their claims publicly on the platform, as more poured in to provide their own experiences. “I have nothing to lose, so if you’re going to sue me for complaining, I’ll take it!” one said. “It’s so obvious that video artists are treated like slaves that no one even questions it,” they posted in another tweet. “Where I am now, it’s basically a mess and I’m no good, so people who want to do their best shouldn’t get involved,” another explained. “Instead of making people write a pledge to avoid complaints, could you please create an environment where they won’t complain?” they further claimed. “Really terrible situation right now…I wish schedules could be more feasible human for the staff,” another said. At the time of writing, MAPPA has yet to provide an update or make an official statement regarding the situation.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 16-year-old animator apologizes for Aoi Todo scene CrunchyrollThe Jujutsu Kaisen team welcomed a 16-year-old animator in this week’s episode. However, he’s apologized for a minor mistake in Aoi Todo’s most iconic moment. Jujutsu Kaisen’s recent episode concludes the final showdown between Yuji and Mahito. However, Yuji’s victory wouldn’t have been possible without Aoi Todo’s support. The young sorcerer was barely keeping up his sanity, but his will broke after seeing Nobara collapse. As Yuji gives up all hope, Aoi swoops in to pull him from the depths of despair. However, Aoi also pays a heavy price for going against someone as strong as Mahito. He loses his hand and technique along with it. The scene when Aoi dupes Mahito into thinking that he’s using his cursed technique, but it turns out to be a feint, is not only Aoi’s most iconic moment but also his final act as a Jujutsu sorcerer. The scene was crafted by a 16-year-old animator, Graham. However, he’s apologized for one mistake in that scene. 16-year-old Jujutsu Kaisen animator posts apology On Twitter/X, the young Jujutsu Kaisen animator Graham apologized for a minor mistake, writing: “Sorry for the rushed drawing mistakes.” He further adds, “Drew the necklace and Mahito on the wrong angle by mistake, incredibly sorry. Thanks to the staff for being patient with me.” The tweet went viral, with everyone expressing their support for this rising star. One user commented: “You’re talented!!! This isn’t some child’s play.” Another user also expressed their support: “You did amazing, bro, don’t let em get you down. You’re a once-in-a-lifetime animator. They should be begging for someone with your talents.” One more user shared: “Are you really just 16 years old?! You provided us with this spectacular animation as if you’ve been in the industry for many years! What a talent you have! Thank you so much for your hard work!” The scene has a lot of significance in the story, and it is beautifully adapted. The lighting, the transition, and the sorrow on Aoi’s face add to its charm. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 21 features the final showdown between Yuji and Mahito. However, the young sorcerer wouldn’t have won had it not been for Aoi’s help. Aoi’s final act of lending support to Yuji is what helped him defeat his strongest opponent so far. After this, Aoi disappears from the Jujutsu world. Although he still has his cursed energy, he cannot fight powerful opponents without his innate technique. He has yet to make an appearance after the Shibuya Incident arc. Here’s the final cut created by Graham: See our other JJK coverage below, and you can check out our other anime coverage here.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 19-year-old animator speaks out after epic Season 2 fight CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen Season 2 recently featured an epic fight crafted by a 19-year-old animator – here’s what he has to say about it. As the Shibuya arc is nearing its end, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is more intense than ever. The recent episode features Aoi Todo’s unexpected arrival in Shibuya as he gives Yuji much-needed motivation. The episode was both bittersweet and thrilling for fans. However, an exciting fact about the episode is that one of the key animators is a 19-year-old Kouichi Akahiro. He created the epic sequence where Todo powers up and prepares for a Black Flash against Mahito. Tokuno Yuji, the director of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 20, shared a note from the young animator. Delve deeper to find out what he had to say to Jujutsu Kaisen fans. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 20 director shares message from young animator Yuji said: “Mr. Akahiro is a 19-year-old animator who has the power to create such hyper-like animations. All of the creators involved in Jujutsu were extremely young and had overwhelming talent, which was extremely stimulating. I’m looking forward to the future of everyone involved!!” Additionally, the director also shared a note in Japanese from the young animator. Twitter user Soukatsu_ shared an English translation of the note, which read: “My favorite actress is Emma Stone. I’m really grateful to my colleagues at MAPPA who rushed over to my house when I fell sick, and to Aoi and Itadori, with whom I’ve shared so many ups and downs. It’s just a small taste, but this is the fruit of our blood, sweat, and friendship so please enjoy. “Thank you to everyone for your hard work on Episode 44. It’s so cool to have a hero who can make everyone feel positive again just by showing up, right? Tokuno-san’s storyboard directing, super cool and feel-good cuts, composition, and frame processing were just the absolute best. “I’m also very grateful to animation director Yamazaki-san, for making the characters the best they could be with his artistic ability. The voice actors and sound direction team were outstanding, and the art and photography team improvised a lot, which made me laugh.” The young animator further shares his experience with other animators at MAPPA. “I was allowed so much freedom and had a lot of fun expanding on parts of the storyboards alongside Honehone-san and the others, such as how to handle the close-up kissy face and Todo’s replica,” he said. “Truthfully, it’s frustrating that so few cuts made it to the key animation stage. But I hope the scene can make MAPPA, the team, and the viewers laugh and feel more energetic! I also have so much respect for Matsumoto-san, the producer who kept on working right until the very end. “There are a lot of things I need to reflect on, such as my poor drawing ability and the composition of the movements, but everyone that joined the team at the same time as me did their best work on the other parts of this episode too, so it’s become one of my favorite episodes. Sorry this note became so long… I’ll be rooting for everyone for the last three episodes!” How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023 Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: Everything we know so far CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen has cast a spell on the world, becoming the defining anime of the 2020s. Now that the Shibuya Incident Arc is done, when can you expect Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3? Perhaps spell isn’t quite the word, since Jujutsu Kaisen is all about dark magic. Curse might be more appropriate for the anime show, since its presence has been widespread. With millions around the world now following Yuji Itadori and his fellow Jujutsu Sorcerers in their battle against the evil Sukuna, it’s by far one of the biggest and best anime around. We’ve pulled some wizardry of our own to gather all information you might want on Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. Here’s what we know about the show’s release date, trailer, and plot. Is there a Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 release date? Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 doesn’t have a release window yet. We know more is coming, but we’ll almost certainly be waiting until at least 2025 for more episodes. MAPPA announced an adaptation of the Culling Game Arc right after Season 2 had finished. However, there was a gap of over two years between the first and second seasons, so we’ve got another year to go at least. If the studio decides to make another film — like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 — that wait may be longer. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 trailer The first teaser for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 was released in December 2023, containing a few character images from the manga, alongside confirmation of the Culling Game Arc. Short and sweet, the over 3 million views it’s accrued suggests fans are hotly anticipating what’s coming. Another full trailer won’t arrive until much closer to release. We’d expect second half of 2024 at the earliest for new footage. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 spoilers: what is the Culling Game Arc about? In the Culling Game, jujutsu sorcerers are pitted against each other by Kenjaku as part of a ritual to generate a colossal amount of cursed energy in order to merge the population of Japan with Master Tengen. Yuji and his friends wind up competing to save a fellow student, pushing them deep into the scheme before they can stop it. It’s an action-packed storyline that presents plenty of opportunity for MAPPA to create more dazzling fight scenes and sequences. The scale and amount of characters will be a challenge for the studio, but nothing they won’t be able to overcome based on previous results — even if we get the best version on Blu-ray. Where can you watch Jujutsu Kaisen? New episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen will be on Crunchyroll. The service has been the home of Jujutsu Kaisen for English-speaking audiences since it premiered, and the third season will be no different. That’s everything we know about Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. Our upcoming anime list will keep you informed of what else is coming out. You can learn more with our guides to Demon Slayer Season 4, Tower of God Season 2, My Hero Academia Season 7, and Solo Leveling Season 2.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 5 major hints suggesting Gojo’s victory against Sukuna CrunchyrollThe battle of the strongest is more intense than Jujutsu Kaisen has ever been. However, fans shouldn’t lose hope yet, as several hints suggest Gojo will win against Sukuna. Jujutsu Kaisen is currently featuring the biggest battle in the series as the strongest sorcerer alive and the strongest sorcerer in history clash against one another. Every moment of the highly anticipated fight between Gojo and Sukuna proves that it is well worth the wait. Gojo’s goal is to defeat the villain and rescue Megumi, while Sukuna plans to put the arrogant sorcerer in his place. Ever since the beginning of the fight, fans have been coming up with several speculations that might lead to Gojo’s demise. It’s true that nothing’s certain in a battle, especially in a dark shonen series. Judging by Gege’s history of killing off several fan-favorite characters, it makes sense for the fandom to freak out about Gojo’s fate. However, Jujutsu Kaisen has dropped several hints along the way to suggest that Gojo will win against Sukuna. 1. Sukuna only has the powers of 19 fingers In the second episode of Season 1, Yuji asks Gojo who will win if he fights against Sukuna. Gojo doesn’t hesitate before saying that although it may be troublesome, he will win even if Sukuna has the power of 20 fingers. Now that the fight has officially begun, Sukuna only possesses the power of 19 fingers, while Utahime amplifies Gojo’s powers to 120%. The whereabouts of the 20th finger are unknown, though Sukuna speculates it might be in Gojo’s possession. One has not gained his full power, while the other is at 120% of his full strength. No matter how one looks at it, Gojo is at a clear advantage against Sukuna. 2. Gojo uses more Reversed Cursed Techniques than Sukuna In chapter 230, Gojo and Sukuna both reach their limits as the first round draws its conclusion without any victor. However, it’s important to note that Gojo reaches his limit after using the Reversed Cursed Technique five times before his nose starts bleeding and he kneels on the ground. On the other hand, Sukuna’s Domain Expansion collapses before he bleeds from his eyes and nose after using Reverse Cursed Technique only four times. They’re both in bad shape, but Sukuna’s condition is much worse. The second round of the battle begins soon after, and Gojo gets a head start. 3. Gojo wins the second round of the battle easily The second round of the battle ends within two chapters. Unlike the first round, which was a clash of Domain Expansions, this one features hand-to-hand combat. Again, Gojo is at an advantage as he literally throws Sukuna around the entire area. He uses Cursed Technique Reversal: Red and Black Flash to knock Sukuna out. Although Mahoraga’s wheel takes the fourth spin and adapts to Gojo’s Infinity, the fact remains that Gojo has accomplished his initial goal of defeating Sukuna. The series has yet to feature the fight between Gojo and Mahoraga. 4. Gojo’s unshakable confidence in defeating Sukuna For better or for worse, Gojo has always been confident about achieving his goals. He is brilliant in every way, so he won’t continue to declare his victory if he isn’t sure of it. That confidence stems from his unparalleled power since he knows no one is capable of rivaling him. Even if Gojo is currently fighting his strongest opponent yet, his confidence hasn’t faded even a little. Instead of being scared, he is enjoying the thrill of the fight since he knows he can go all out. It’s rare for him to use his powers without holding back. And since his opponent is Sukuna, Gojo knows that as long as he uses his full power, he is sure to win. Seeing his conviction is kind of reassuring since it could mean the battle will turn in his favor. 5. Gojo still hasn’t used his ultimate trump card The fact that Gojo hasn’t been going all out throughout the fight is truly astonishing. Fans have always believed that his most powerful technique is Hollow Purple, but he had a trump card hidden all along. In chapter 233, Gojo is facing off against three opponents: Mahoraga, Sukuna, and a new Shikigami born from merging Nue and Totality. However, it’s going to take a lot more than Sukuna’s cunning tricks to defeat the strongest sorcerer alive. Gojo’s main goal right now is to take down Mahoraga so he can use his Infinity again. With his Infinity rendered useless, he has no choice but to dodge the attacks that are simultaneously being thrown at him. As such, Gojo realizes that he has to defeat Mahoraga with a blow using his trump card, “Unlimited Hollow Technique.” The technique has yet to be revealed in the manga, but Gojo’s smile before using it means he’s done playing around. Final thoughts on Gojo vs Sukuna The battle has been going on for ten chapters, and so much has happened since then. While Gojo is using every technique at his disposal, Sukuna relies on Mahoraga whenever he is in a tight spot. Although defeating Sukuna isn’t difficult for someone as powerful as Gojo, Mahoraga is turning out to be a real nuisance. Defeating both of them together is tricky, even for the strongest sorcerer alive. As of chapter 232, Gojo has officially claimed victory in the second round, but he pays a heavy price for it. As soon as Sukuna passes out, Mahoraga appears from the shadow after adapting to Gojo’s Infinity. The upcoming chapters will feature the fight between Gojo and Mahoraga, and it’s uncertain what’s become of the villain. Both their fates hang in the balance, and anything could happen now. Since the entire “Shinjuku Showdown arc” will focus on the fight, it won’t be ending any time soon. Gojo appears to have the upper hand for now, but there’s no guarantee he will keep up the momentum. We will update this space once we have more information about the ongoing fight.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 7 Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerers Ranked NetflixJujutsu Kaisen introduced us to several powerful sorcerers so far in the anime/manga, making it tricky for the fandom to figure out who is the absolute strongest. Well, we are here to answer that question for you. Gege Akutami’s world is massive and complicated, featuring different types of Sorcerers and Curses. It features several unforgettable characters with extremely unique yet complex abilities, especially Cursed Techniques. In a world that is so complex, it’s extremely hard to compare characters based on their strengths and abilities. That’s because a character who may seem weak at first or lacks cursed energy may excel in other areas to be called the strongest. Keeping that in mind, we’ve ranked seven powerful sorcerers from the world of JJK. So, dive in with us into the unforgiving world of sorcery and curses. 7. Mei Mei Innate Ability: Black Bird Manipulation Even though Mei Mei is a grade 1 sorcerer of Jujutsu High, we have ranked her the lowest on this list because she comes with a weak technique compared to the other sorcerers. But that doesn’t make her any less powerful, because despite having a relatively weak innate technique, she is someone who can beat the crap of her enemies with her combating skills. Mei Mei has also been a mentor to the popular duo Suguru Geto and Gojo Satoru during their time at the sorcerers’ academy. In the past, the latter(Gojo) has also acknowledged how potent Mei Mei is when it comes to close-range hand-to-hand combat. 6. Nanami Kento Innate Ability: Ratio Technique Nanami Kento is the one who is mostly known for his smart thinking and tactical intellect. This is also one of the reasons why Satoru Gojo chose him to help Yuji Itadori so that he could grow as a sorcerer. Besides that, Nanami’s fighting skills helped him to overwhelm a dangerous curse like Mahito. Despite getting severe damage in the battle with the patched face, he was able to survive. Nanami’s cursed technique allows him to create weak points on his targets and blow massive hits on them until they collapse. For instance, when Dagon trapped Nanami in his domain, the sorcerer used this technique to overwhelm the domain user. 5. Naobito Zenin Innate Abilities: Projection Sorcery, Falling Blossom Emotion Like Nanami, Naobito is also one of such sorcerers who uses his analytical skills against his opponent. When it comes to speed and reflexes, he matches that of Satoru Gojo–thanks to his exceptional hold on his innate technique, i.e., the Projection Sorcery. Moreover, his grasp over martial arts makes him a deadly opponent when it gets imbued by his C.T. Naobito Zenin doesn’t have a domain expansion of his own, but he comes with an anti-domain technique named the Falling Blossom Emotion that gives him the ability to counter the domains of his opponents. 4. Yuta Okkotsu Innate Abilities: Rika Yuta was introduced to us in Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High as the main protagonist. Initially, every fan mistakenly believed him to be just a second-year student of Jujutsu High. However, soon, the JJK prequel reveals that the boy was haunted by his childhood friend Rika’s spirit, and her powers made him immensely strong. That was also one of the reasons Yuta became one of the 4 Special Grade Sorcerers of the academy. During the training period, Yuta gains incredible swordsman skills along with a clutch on hand-to-hand fighting. His one blow is enough to crash the opponent down on the ground. 3. Yuki Tsukumo Innate Abilities: Star Rage Yuki Tsukumo is a special-grade sorcerer who comes with a plethora of cursed energies. Besides these, she doesn’t only depend on the cursed energies in a battle; in fact, she is also a good fighter who can easily overwhelm opponents in the most challenging battles. Yuki also became a reason for Aoi Todo’s growth. Moreover, Yuki has an innate ability that gives her and her shikigami Garuda the ability to eradicate even the strongest curses. 2. Suguru Geto Innate Abilities: Cursed Spirit Manipulation, Maximum: Uzumaki During his time in Jujutsu High as student, Suguru Geto and Gojo Satoru were the closest friends who rescued several people from the clutches of the dangerous curses. Geto was one of the strongest sorcerers apart from Gojo– thanks to his massive collection of the Cursed Spirits. Besides that, Geto’s fighting abilities in the close quarters also make him one of the strongest compared to other sorcerers. Eventually, Suguru Geto chooses the path of destruction and starts using his powers against every Jujutsu High sorcerer and humanity as a whole, becoming an antagonist of the series. 1. Gojo Satoru Innate Abilities: Limitless, Six Eyes, Infinity Gojo is considered the strongest sorcerer in the world as he possesses powerful techniques, i.e., The Limitless and the Infinity. His charismatic personality is the first thing that grabs the attention of every fan. Besides his fighting abilities, he can trap anyone with his sugar-coated words. So far in the series, we have seen him acting as a shield for his students. Satoru Gojo holds mastery in hand-to-hand combat and is the fastest sorcerer in the history of Jujutsu High. Besides these, his infinity technique gives him the ability to slow or restrict the movement of his opponents whenever they try to land a blow on him. You can check out our other anime coverage here.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Gege Akutami brings in scientists to explain Gojo’s Infinity CrunchyrollGojo’s Infinity is a complex technique in the series Jujutsu Kaisen, which is why creator Gege Akutami brings in scientists to explain it. Jujutsu Kaisen is popular for its complex concept of power, where the curses are defeated through curses. As the strongest Sorcerer alive, Gojo knows a lot of powerful techniques and abilities. However, most of them are incredibly complex on top of being devastatingly powerful. As one of the most popular mangas out there, Jujutsu Kaisen is often covered by Jump Giga Magazine. The series recently announced its upcoming feature on the cover of Jump Giga Magzine’s next issue in October to celebrate the anime adaptation of the Shibuya Incident arc in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. As such, we can’t help but reminisce about the time when Gege Akutami brought in scientists to explain Gojo’s Infinity in Jujutsu Kaisen. RIKEN’s scientists explain Gojo’s Infinity in Jump GIGA The Japanese scientific research institute RIKEN’s Deep Learning theory team collaborated with Jujutsu Kaisen back in 2021. The goal was to publish an article about Satoru Gojo’s cursed techniques in Jump GIGA’s Summer 2021 Issue. The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen aired from October 2020 to March 2021, leaving several fans wondering about the way Gojo’s Infinity. However, Jump GIGA’s issue answers the question in a rather unconventional and technical way. A simpler explanation of how Gojo’s Infinity works in Jujutsu Kaisen Instead of being a cursed technique, it’s better to describe Infinity as the neutral state of Limitless. Infinity does not stop any attacks but rather slows them down. The closer the attack gets to him, the slower it becomes, and it never reaches him. Gojo decides what does and doesn’t touch him and can do so based on mass, speed, and danger ratings. Gojo’s techniques, Red and Blue, converge and diverge the space around him, allowing him to control gravity and the cursed energy in his surroundings. According to Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, he can also produce Gravitational Frequency and Time Shifts by alternating between the two techniques, which is basically his Infinity. The scientific explanation of Gojo’s Infinity in Jujutsu Kaisen is really complex. The more you read, the more you get confused. It might be too much for most people, but it must be thrilling for the science and mathematics enthusiasts out there. At the very least, we cannot deny that it’s surely an intriguing way to explain the powers of a fictional character.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 x Fortnite collab is missing one major character — report NetflixA new Jujutsu Kaisen 0 x Fortnite is reportedly in the works — but one major character seems to be missing. Jujutsu Kaisen currently holds the world record as the most in-demand animated series in the world, and it shows in its worldwide popularity. Its prequel movie, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is one of the highest-grossing anime movies in Japan and reportedly set for a new collaboration of Fortnite. According to leaks from Wensoing, the game will feature the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 very soon. Yuta Okkotsu, Maki, and Panda are believed to appear, but further details about this project haven’t come out yet. The report of this collaboration makes the absence of one major character glaringly obvious. While the protagonist Yuta and his two classmates will appear in the game, his third classmate Toge Inumaki is seemingly absent. Wensoing reported that there is no information about Toge appearing in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 x Fortnite collab. Though there’s a possibility that his inclusion in the project will be revealed later, nothing can be said for certain. Toge is one of the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and plays a crucial role in the movie. He, like his classmates, appears in both the movie and the main series. His cursed technique is also one of the most interesting powers in Jujutsu Kaisen. Toge’s Cursed Speech allows him to command anyone with just one word by infusing his cursed energy into his voice. This leads to a very quirky trait of his: talking only using the ingredients of onigiri. His popularity in the anime’s fandom makes his absence from the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 x Fortnite collaboration all the more strange. Fans are also quite displeased with his absence. One fan wrote on Reddit, “How can they exclude Toge Inumaki if we’re getting his friends?” “What I honestly expected. I definitely want Geto, too, though. Also it admittedly feels a bit weird to not get Toge as well,” another user commented. While many are upset over Toge being missing from the project, a lot of people are also very excited about the collaboration. Panda is an instant hit among both Jujutsu Kaisen and Fortnite fans. Some want major characters like Suguru Geto and Toji Fushiguro to appear in the next wave. Before the new Jujutsu Kaisen 0 x Fortnite project, the game already had a collaboration with the popular anime. The collab, titled “Break the Curse!” was released in 2023 with the four main characters of the series: Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, and Gojo.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 10 coolest Satoru Gojo moments CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen’s strongest sorcerer alive, Satoru Gojo, is also one of the fans’ beloved characters. Here are his ten coolest moments where he steals the show. There’s no denying that Jujutsu Kaisen is the epitome of modern anime, not just in terms of story but in character design as well. The series really takes the top spot on having every single character that is memorable and glorious. The complex power system of curses allows each character to possess unique abilities that also add to the overall charm of the series. However, even among the dozens of characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo stands at the top. Powers aside, he has every quality of a spectacular character. Despite being the strongest, he works at the bottom of the Jujutsu world’s hierarchy to bring about a revolution by gathering trustworthy allies. Delve deeper to look at the ten coolest moments of Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen. 1. Gojo shows off his skills against Sukuna Gojo’s eccentric personality may not sit well with some of his students, but they all seem to respect him. Gojo takes pride in his role as an educator and is even more proud of each one of his students. He also never lets go of an opportunity to try to look cool in front of them. When Yuji incarnated Sukuna inside his body, Gojo was the first to fight the special-grade curse. Needless to say, Gojo wipes the floor as he says he will show off since his student (Megumi) is watching. This is the first time fans get a glimpse of Gojo’s power. 2. Gojo calls Jogo weak and proves it A cursed spirit as overconfident and prideful as Jogo is difficult to come by. He dares to go after Satoru Gojo and pays the price for it. Jogo never stood a chance against the strongest sorcerer alive. Instead of seriously fighting the cursed spirit, Gojo brings Yuji to teach him more about Jujutsu battles. When Jogo asks if the kid will get in the way, Gojo responds by saying that the latter is weak. This simple statement seriously wounds the curse’s pride. However, Gojo isn’t being sarcastic or arrogant. Compared to him, anyone else will seem weak. 3. Gojo reveals his eyes and uses Unlimited Void against Jogo Even among the strongest Sorcerers and curses, Domain Expansion is an ability that only a select few can use. When backed into a corner, Jogo could only resort to using his ultimate technique, Domain Expansion. Barely fazed by it, Gojo continues teaching Yuji about Jujutsu Sorcerery’s pinnacle. He then reveals his beautiful Six Eyes and uses his Unlimited Void, which easily dominates Jogo’s Coffin of the Iron Mountain. Satoru Gojo’s domain is still the strongest technique in Jujutsu Kaisen. 4. Gojo uses Hollow Purple Technique against Hanami Jujutsu Kaisen has a wide range of phenomenal techniques, but Satoru Gojo’s Hollow Purple Technique is by far the best. The technique involves using two infinites – Blue and Red. Only a select few in the Gojo Clan have ever been able to use it. Being the user of Six Eyes, using such techniques is too easy for the strongest sorcerer alive. In the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo uses this technique against Hanami from a long distance. The curse barely manages to escape with its life. 5. Gojo fights Miguel and destroys his Black Rope During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Miguel is the only real threat in Shinjuku. Gojo realizes Geto’s plan to kill Yuta and sends Panda and Toge to stop him. He promises to follow as soon as he deals with Miguel. Miguel only wants to keep Gojo occupied until Geto accomplishes his goal. Knowing this, Gojo snaps and uses Miguel as a punching bag, destroying his Black Rope in the process. The rope is comparable to a special-grade object woven with an unimaginable amount of cursed energy over the decades. And yet, Gojo doesn’t waste a minute before destroying it. 6. Gojo calls himself the honored one After receiving fatal injuries from Toji, Gojo uses Reverse Cursed Technique to heal his wounds. He overuses his powers and becomes slightly delirious. During his rematch with Toji, Gojo realizes that he is unable to feel hatred or anger. He says, “Throughout heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.” These words were said by Buddha, who proclaimed himself to be the mightiest being. At first, Gojo’s words may sound arrogant, but it represents him acquiring his true abilities and finally being the “strongest sorcerer alive. 7. Gojo fights against Hanami and Jogo in Shibuya The Shibuya Incident in Jujutsu Kaisen commences to imprison Satoru Gojo and get Sukuna on Kenjaku’s side. The fight begins with Jogo and Hanami simultaneously attacking Gojo. Even when Gojo is holding back to avoid casualties at the station, he still manages to defeat both special-grade cursed spirits easily. Gojo even looks at Jogo with disgust for thinking the latter could defeat him. Although Choso is also working alongside the cursed spirits, he isn’t as active as the other two. 8. Gojo gets unsealed and challenges Kenjaku Satoru Gojo takes a long while before getting unsealed in Jujutsu Kaisen. Moments before getting sealed, he finds out that Kenjaku has taken over Geto’s body. Therefore, Gojo doesn’t waste a second before finding Kenjaku. He also warns the curse to speak wisely since they will be his last words. Later, because of Sukuna’s interference, Gojo pushes his plan to kill Kenjaku and decides to do that after dealing with the King of Curses. 9. Gojo proclaims he will against Sukuna When Yuji first asks Gojo if he can defeat Sukuna, Gojo responds positively. This dialogue is played again when he gets unsealed, and the King of Curses challenges him. Gojo again proclaims his victory confidently, as if he can see the future. The one he’s fighting is none other than Ryomen Sukuna, feared for over 1000 years. Despite that, Gojo has enough confidence in his skills to know who the victor will be. He is the only sorcerer in the world who can proclaim something like this without any hesitation. 10. Gojo showing off his skills to his students while fighting Sukuna No one other than Satoru Gojo would worry about showing off his skills in Jujutsu Kaisen. Sukuna is the strongest sorcerer who lived in the Heian Period. At the same time, Gojo is the strongest sorcerer of today. The battle between these two is undoubtedly legendary. However, before the second round of the battle, Gojo reaches his limit first, and then Sukuna follows soon after. Gojo mocks the villain before pointing toward Mei Mei’s crows and telling him that since his students are watching, he will continue to show off. Jujutsu Kaisen can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll and Netflix.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 10 strongest characters in anime – who is the most powerful in the show? CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen is a popular battle shonen with a complex power system which makes it difficult to rank the strongest characters. While Jujutsu Kaisen manga will draw its conclusion in September 2024, the anime has only two seasons and a prequel movie. As of September 2024, the third season is currently under production and has yet to announce a release date. The story is set in a world where negative emotions pile up and give birth to cursed spirits threatening people’s safety. Jujutsu sorcerers risk their lives to defeat those curses and also guide young students to do the same. However, the battle against curses is never-ending. The anime has introduced several powerful characters, but who among them is the strongest? 10. Jogo Jogo may be one of the most powerful curses in the series, but he always got overshadowed after fighting characters way above his league. However, his innate technique and Domain Expansion are deadly. His power is estimated by comparing him to eight to nine fingers of Ryomen Sukuna. As the only fire user in the series except for Sukuna, Jogo’s flames are hot enough to burn just about anything. 9. Hanami Hanami is also one of the unregistered special grade curses. Their innate technique allows them to manifest the illusions of cursed plants into reality. Apart from the varying extension techniques of “Disaster Plants,” Hanami can also use anti-domain techniques and Domain Expansion. Hanami tried to expand their Domain during their fight with Yuji and Todo when the duo charged the flower on their shoulder with cursed energy. However, it was interrupted when the curtain keeping out Gojo was dispelled. In Shibuya, Hanami dies easily while fighting Satoru Gojo. 8. Dagon Dagon is one of the disaster curses, who became a fully fleshed-out curse in Season 2. In Shibuya, Dagon ate countless humans to gain strength quickly and easily overwhelm the sorcerers after using his Domain Expansion. As soon as the sorcerers attack him, he expands his domain, a tropical beach with a forest of palm trees on one side of the shore. It allows Dagon’s shikigami to hit its target automatically. The fish appear instantaneously from the target’s perspective, making them nearly impossible to block because the shikigami don’t exist until they hit the target, instantly devouring their flesh. 7. Mahito Despite being a new curse, Mahito rapidly develops his skills after eating several humans. He even has Domain Expansion, the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery. Mahito’s idle transfiguration technique gives him the ability to touch and disfigure his enemies or whoever he wants to die. Besides that, his superfast speed and reflexes let him attack and dodge the opponents’ assault. 6. Toji Fushiguro Toji Fushiguro is the main antagonist in the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death Arc. Despite having no cursed energy, his innate physical strength allows him to compete with the most potent sorcerers, including young Gojo and Geto. His heavenly-restricted body grants him superhuman speed and reflexes making him an invincible entity who can land blows and dodge the opponent’s attacks with ease. 5. Suguru Geto Suguru Geto was one of the four special-grade sorcerers during his time at Jujutsu High. With the ability to consume cursed spirits, he became someone who flaunted multiple cursed energies. Apart from that, his Maximum Uzumaki is an extension of his innate technique, which combines a massive number of collected curses into one powerful attack. While Geto loses against Toji in his high school years, he gets more powerful in more than a decade. 4. Mahoraga Mahoraga is one of Megumi’s untamed Shikigami. It is considered the most dangerous and uncontrollable shikigami that stems from the aforementioned system. No one in history has been able to tame it. Whenever someone unleashes an attack on the Shikigami, the wheel on his head rotates, helping it to adapt to the phenomena used on him. This ability allows Mahoraga to adapt while its feet are in battle. The more attacks it takes, the more it adapts. That way, it crafts a final strategy or, rather, a blueprint to counter even the strongest move or domain expansion of the enemy. 3. Yuta Yuta is also a special-grade sorcerer like Gojo, who was introduced as the main protagonist of the prequel movie. He is said to be second only to Satoru Gojo. In the Season 2 finale, Yuta finally makes his debut in the story. Although he hasn’t fought anyone in Shibuya, he has shown enough prowess to be considered one of the most powerful characters. His innate technique, ‘Copy,’ paired with the special-grade apparition Rika, is a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to that, he defeated Suguru Geto, who was controlling thousands of curse spirits. 2. Satoru Gojo Satoru Gojo is the strongest sorcerer in the modern era. He is blessed with Six Eyes and a Limitless technique. Gojo has an immeasurable level of Cursed energy. His Hollow Purple is one of the most powerful techniques in the verse. That, paired with Gojo’s Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique sets him apart from other sorcerers. Even now, there’s no other sorcerer close to his level, except Sukuna, of course. 1. Sukuna Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses is the main villain in the series. Even 1/20th of his power is considered far more dangerous than a special-grade curse. His Domain Expansion is the most offensive one in the series so far. In the Shibuya Incident Arc, Yuji gains the power of a total of fifteen fingers which allows Sukuna to take over the former’s body for about 30 minutes. Sukuna effortlessly defeats Mahoraga and burns down a major part of Shibuya before destroying Yuji mentally. The Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be ending in a few weeks, so find out the final chapter’s release date.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 10 strongest characters still alive in the manga Gege Akutami/MAPPAJujutsu Kaisen manga is currently in its final stretch after killing off several characters – so here’s a list of the 10 strongest characters still alive and kicking. Jujutsu Kaisen’s brutal storytelling doesn’t even spare the most popular characters, such as Gojo and Nanami, and so many more. The story is set in a world where negative emotions pile up and give birth to cursed spirits threatening people’s safety. Jujutsu sorcerers risk their lives to defeat those curses and also guide young students to do the same. However, the battle against curses is never-ending since they will continue to exist as long as humans do. If that wasn’t bad enough, curse users also go against the sorcerers. Hence, the Jujutsu world has suffered countless casualties over the years and continues to do so. Jujutsu Kaisen manga is currently in its final stretch, so there are still some incredibly strong fighters who are still fighting the ancient villain to protect the villains. Check out our list of the 10 strongest characters still alive in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Warning: This article contains spoilers from the manga! 10. Takuma Ino Takuma Ino may be a Grade 2 sorcerer, but he has improved significantly before the battle against the strongest. Apart from his unique cursed technique, he now wields Nanami’s blade, which is now a cursed tool with the Ratio Technique imbued in it. Ino is currently among the sorcerers fighting against the King of Curses. 9. Atsuya Kusakabe Kusakabe has always been an underrated character in Jujutsu Kaisen. But the battle against the strongest reveals he’s the strongest first-grade sorcerer. He makes up for his lack of innate technique by mastering Anti-Domain Techniques like New Shadow Style. Kusakabe also taught Yuji the same 8. Aoi Todo Aoi Todo returns for the first time since the Shibuya Incident Arc. He never appears again after his final act of applause before confirming he cannot use his Boogie Woogie. The series never mentioned anything about Todo until Chapter 259. Todo makes an unexpected appearance and joins Yuji in the battle against the strongest. 7. Maki Zenin After losing against Jogo in the Shibuya Incident, Maki goes through a lot of trials before unlocking the full extent of her heavenly-restricted body, which is comparable to Toji Fushiguro. Maki is now able to see curses without her glasses and wields the Split Soul Katana that Mai left behind for her. The cursed tool has the ability to bypass any physical resistance to cut right at the soul of any target. 6. Yuji Itadori Although Maki now surpasses Yuji in terms of physical strength, the latter has overall cursed energy, which helps him make up for it. Yuji can also use Black Flash, which multiplies the output of his physical attacks. However, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga has yet to reveal the true extent of his powers, so there’s a chance he might rise up the ranks in this list once we find out the secret behind his unusual arm. 5. Kinji Hakari With incredible physical strength, cursed energy, unusual innate technique, and a terrifying Domain Expansion, Hakari is easily one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen manga. He first appears in the Culling Game arc. Gojo had listed him among the three students who had the ability to surpass him. Hakari’s innate technique, “Private Pure Love Train,” is primarily applied through domain expansion, “Idle Death Gamble.” 4. Takako Uro Takako Uro is one of the incarnated ancient sorcerers from the Heian Era. Her innate technique allows her to control the sky like a tangible object. She triggers her technique, Thin Ice Breaker, by hitting the surface of the sky instead of hitting her opponent directly. The surface then shatters like thin ice, injuring her opponent. She can also use Domain Expansion, but the series doesn’t reveal it. 3. Hiromi Higuruma Higuruma joined the Sukuna raid and showed abilities comparable to Satoru Gojo. However, because he only became a Jujutsu sorcerer two months ago, he was still inexperienced. He learned to use Reverse Cursed Technique mid-battle. His innate technique Judgeman, is directly linked to his Domain Expansion. The Domain judges its targets based on their crimes and punishes them accordingly. 2. Angel (Hana Kurusu) Angel is an incarnated ancient sorcerer from the Heian era who now exists with Hana Kurusu in the same body. She is also the one who unsealed Satoru Gojo using her nullification ability called “Jacob’s Ladder.” Her innate technique, “Technique Nullification,” allows her to completely nullify any and all cursed techniques without limitations. Even barriers and cursed objects are no exception, both of which include the special grade object, Prison Realm. 1. Yuta Okkotsu Yuta is the only special-grade sorcerer currently alive in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. His abilities are second only to Satoru Gojo, and the latter has confirmed several times that Yuta has the potential to surpass him. The young sorcerer’s innate technique, “Copy,” paired with the special-grade apparition Rika, makes him unstoppable. He is currently healing from the Sukuna’s attack after he cleared the path for Maki.

Nonetheless, the manga confirms they were hiding the truth from him on purpose. There’s a good chance Sukuna can use Yuji’s memories to his advantage.

Japan Airlines shows love for Jujutsu Kaisen in the most unique way Studio MAPPAJujutsu Kaisen’s popularity has reached another level, and recently, we got to witness a glimpse of its stardom. Jujutsu Kaisen is one such anime that has dominated the industry since 2020. Despite the manga getting serialized in WSJ since 2017, fans were unaware of this wonderful universe until its anime adaptation’s arrival. So, it would be safe to say the manga became popular after the release of Season 1. However, with the arrival of the second season, JJK’s popularity skyrocketed, and there’s no denying that Gege Akutami has blessed the community with the best. Not only the storyline but fans also got addicted to the closing and opening themes of the anime. A viral TikTok video on social media recently revealed how the popular dark fantasy manga has influenced the world. Japan Airlines grabbed every Jujutsu Kaisen fan’s attention A TikTok video featuring the attendants and crew members of Japan Airlines took the internet by storm recently with their unique gesture towards Gege Akutami’s brainchild Jujutsu Kaisen. The well-choreographed video showcased the JAL family synchronizing on ‘You are my Special’. It’s the opening theme of the Shibuya Incident arc that is loved by every JJK fan. It’s not the first time we have seen something like this happening to celebrate the anime industry’s evolution. However, it’s definitely the first time in history that we have witnessed the aviation professionals’ lively involvement in bringing out a theme song from an anime to life. The video caption used several Jujutsu Kaisen tags, making it obvious that the airlines wanted to inform fans that they are JJK supporters. While some users on X said they loved every bit of the video, some were making fun of it. “Yeah don’t get on that plane,” said a user, “SO SICKKKKKKKK,” added another. Some were also showing concern for the ones in the video by saying, “Do these people know that when that song plays, it only means death and destruction?” Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 concluded several weeks back, but the series has always managed to stay in the news. Whether it’s because of the events in the manga series or news like these, JJk is always in the news.

Japan wants other countries to help combat anime and manga piracy VizJapan is trying to clamp down on international piracy towards anime and manga by requesting assistance from other countries to form a combined effort. The Japanese government has reaffirmed efforts to stop illegal distribution of anime shows and manga. Officials revealed this week that they plan to “strengthen coordination with foreign investigative authorities” to pushback on manga and anime being pirated online. Kyodo News reports that Japan is going to “speed up” getting rid of illegally obtained media and block people from accessing sites that provide these releases. Tech companies are involved in the process, though it’s not known who or how, as yet. A report from earlier this year revealed that the manga industry lost an estimated $2.4 billion to piracy in 2023. Over 1,000 sites had been identified for providing unofficial releases, and that number continues to grow. Renewed legal hurdles are paying off, since 2023 saw a 20% decrease on 2022’s number. A sharper increase over the global shutdown caused the data to spike, something that’s likely fed into more government action on the subject. Publishers such as Shueisha and Kodakawa have sought more proactivity and support from officials, since the amount of illegally obtained and distributed materials continues to grow. As you might expect, the US accounts for most of the piracy, according to data accrued by MUSO, a firm dedicated to content protection. Part of the issue is that these distributors have their own, bespoke apps and outlets that seem legitimate to many readers. “There are huge English piracy sites that get over 200 million hits a month, and some sites restrict access from Japan to avoid detection,” Hiroyuki Nakajima, attorney, told NHK. “Pirated apps are also a problem, and if they are distributed on a legitimate platform, some people may mistakenly think that it is a legitimate app and download it” There have been some prolific legal proceedings on the matter as well, with one owner of a site shilling pirated manga being ordered to pay $11 million in court. With Japan’s latest efforts, many more could join them. We have a list of the best anime on Crunchyroll, for legitimate entertainment. Our guides to One Piece Chapter 1116 and Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11 will tell you when you can read those properly, as well.

Japan’s anime critics reveal the top 10 best anime of 2023 CrunchyrollWe’re halfway through the year, which means we’re halfway done with all the great anime of 2023. Here are the best, according to critics. This past year (2022-20223) has been an excellent year for anime, with many standout releases. The Crunchyroll 7th annual Anime Awards alone can show you just how much good stuff has come out this year. But when judging 2023’s anime, Crunchyroll isn’t the only critic out there. Filmarks, a popular review site in Japan, has just released its list of the top anime in 2023 so far, which have been counted by critics. Yes, we’re only halfway through the year, but there’s still a ton of competition. Checkout the list below, as you maybe surprised at where certain animes have been ranked. A ton of familiar returning titles have made the cut, but they’re joined by new and exciting shows. Filmarks reveals top 10 best anime of 2023 (so far) Filmarks has released its ranking of the greatest anime series of 2023 so far. This includes continuing series as well as new ones. The list goes as follows: Skip and Loafer – Golden Kamui Season 4 – Oshi no Ko – Tengoku Daimakyou – Tsurune Season 2 – Vinland Saga Season 2 – Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4 – Demon Slayer Season 3 – Doctor Stone: New World – Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu – While Oshi no Ko was expected to take first place by many, it was actually usurped by romantic comedy Skip and Loafer – which has been a huge hit this year in Japan – and Golden Kamuy’s fourth season. Fourth place went to Heavenly Delusion, and Tsurune’s second season was given fifth place. Surprisingly, the arguably most well-known anime on this list, Demon Slayer season 3 – which we’ve written about a lot here – only ranked eighth place. This list will no doubt be disagreed with by some fans. But critical darlings Oshi no Ko and Vinland Saga are still highly regarded in the list, even if they haven’t taken top spot. Ultimately, it’s clear that all of these series are worth a watch, and as we now go into the second half of 2023, no doubt more amazing anime is waiting. For more anime content, click here.

John Wick meets JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure in this impressive crossover David Production / Summit EntertainmentJohn Wick can be seen thrashing hordes of assassins in Parabellum, but one fan recreated the ex-hitman in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure style since he shares a strange connection to the titular family name. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has received critical acclaim throughout the years and has been an influential anime since being created. It was only natural for two fan-favorite franchises to converge at one point, resulting in an awesome crossover piece. In a Reddit post, artist Ted Ryan revealed an astonishing fan creation that took The Reaper and painted him in the anime creator’s style which makes Wick look all the more menacing, if it were even possible. 600Ryan’s version of Wick is a true reimagining of the assassin complete with his iconic clean suit which is perfectly contrasted by the arsenal of weapons he tends to carry around. Though what is interesting is that Ryan didn’t include a Stand for his Wick creation, leaving onlookers to fill in the gaps that perfectly round out the assassin’s design. “Stand: Here Comes Revenge (Metallica),” Reddit user Shingekyo said. “[Here Comes Revenge] does not manifest as a normal Stand. However it gives the user an unlimited knowledge of martial arts, weaponry, war tactics, and inhuman reflexes. The stand can activate itself at will, however generating feelings of revenge to the user will activate it automatically.” 600How is John Wick a part of the JoJo lineage? According to artist Ted Ryan, his artwork was inspired by a May 19 tweet from a parody Twitter account posing as show creator Araki Hirohiko which highlighted the fact that the John Wick movie franchise technically stars a JoJo. Setting aside the abhorrent dog abuse in both the movies and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, the two share a deeper similarity after realizing what John Wick’s real name actually is. John Wick’s real last name is Jovanovic that makes him a Jojo. pic.twitter.com/XKAUDSG3MY — Araki Hirohiko (@Araki_Hirohiko) May 20, 2019 “John Wick’s real last name is Jovanovic that makes him a Jojo,” the parody account said. While some fans might raise their brow at trying to make the relation, the connection was more than enough to inspire Ryan to create his incredible piece of fanart.

Is Attack on Titan anime finished? CrunchyrollAttack on Titan has arrived recently with the most anticipated episode of Season 4, and here, everyone wants to know if the anime is finished or if there is more content that will be adapted in the later seasons. Attack on Titan’s story started several years ago when the founding Titan, Ymir, passed on her powers to the Nine Titans, which eventually became a threat to the society. Later, the series introduced us to Eren, the main protagonist of the series, who, with time, turns out to be the main villain. The series started in 2009 as a manga and concluded in 2021, and the anime that came into existence in 2013 has arrived with a new 85-minute episode. The movie-length episode has everything that everyone expected, but the thing that anime-only fans never wanted to see was Eren dying at the hands of the one he always loved. Attack on Titan: Is the anime over? Unfortunately, yes, the anime has met its ending on November 4, 2023, with the action-packed finale episode. Isayama concluded the manga series back in 2021; however, not many fans were happy with the story’s ending. Fortunately, the mangaka used the anime to correct his mistakes. As confirmed before the episode’s official release, the author gave a new storyboard for the anime’s final episode. As a result, we saw some additional or anime-original dialogues between characters. In short, MAPPA and Isayama ensured that the anime’s ending didn’t feel rushed, and it gave a clear understanding of Eren’s ultimate motives. The episode has just dropped, and several fans still haven’t watched the finale, but judging from the trends on social media, it’s safe to say that the fandom loved the anime’s ending. In fact, several fans still can’t believe that the anime has concluded and this is the end of the road for Attack on Titan. Attack on Titan started in 2013 and gave us several unforgettable moments, but no matter how hard it is for the fans to accept the truth, the series isn’t coming back.

Is Yui real in Hell’s Paradise? CrunchyrollIn Hell’s Paradise, Gabimaru the Hollow claimed not to feel any emotions, yet that all changed when he met his wife, Yui. However, throughout the series, Yui never appeared and only showed in Gabimaru’s memories, making fans wonder if she was real. Hell’s Paradise is a part of the dark trio of the Shonen genre famous for its morbid storyline that focuses on an unconventional Shonen hero. Gabimaru, an elite Shinobi assassin, was betrayed by his Village Chief and put on death row. He claimed to have no attachment to life, and yet he subconsciously avoided getting executed every time. When Sagiri told him about Yui, Gabimaru finally realised that instead of dying, he wanted to go back to her. This is how he joined the expedition in search of an Elixir of Life, hoping to get a pardon from the Shogun. Gabimaru’s memories of Yui throughout the challenging ordeal give him much-needed encouragement. Why was there confusion regarding Yui’s existence? Gabimaru’s always believed the Village Chief of Iwagakure to be immortal because of the tricks he used to pull off in front of the Shonibi. He claimed to have bought the Elixir of Life from a merchant to back up his story. However, when Sagiri told this story to Yuzuriha, the latter revealed it was only Genjutsu. As a Kunoichi, Yuzuriha was aware of the tricks of Village Chiefs to instil fear among their subordinates. What’s more, the Village Chief of Iwagakure was famous for his Genjutsu. Therefore, pulling such a trick was incredibly easy for him. Yuzuriha further hypothesised that Yui may not be real after all. Since Gabimaru is an assassin and only 16 years old, it didn’t make sense for the Chief to give him a household by making his daughter marry Gabimaru. Gabimaru, on the other hand, started losing part of his memories, which further solidified Yuzuriha’s claim of Yui being imaginary. She claimed that the Village Chief put Gabimaru under a Genjutsu so he wouldn’t want to leave the village, but his plan backfired. Yui isn’t Gabimaru’s imagination in Hell’s Paradise Despite Yuzuriha’s hypothesis and his fading memories, Gabimaru never doubted Yui’s existence. He genuinely believed that the time they spent together was real and that’s what kept pushing him to complete the mission. In the later chapters of Hell’s Paradise, Gabimaru learned that although Yui was real, she wasn’t what she seemed to be. She always pretended to be unaware of the cruel world, but being the Village Chief’s daughter, she grew up in a violent environment. As such, their conversations will always include metaphors related to battle and life. In fact, she dreamt of a normal life more than Gabimaru did. She only appeared in chapters 126 and 127, the final chapters of the manga. Despite having so little screen time, Yui is one of the most important characters in the series. Without her, Gabimaru would never have wanted to fight for pardon by accepting the mission to find the Elixir. Hell’s Paradise can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Is My Hero Academia Season 7 the anime’s final season? CrunchyrollMy Hero Academia Season 7 will have its premiere episode in May, but is this going to be the last season of the anime show? After a long wait, My Hero Academia is back with another season. Considered one of the best upcoming anime of 2024, the seventh season will debut on May 4, 2024. The anime is part of the Spring 2024 lineup. My Hero Academia anime has been going on for quite some time. Having been released in 2016, the series has gone on to become one of the best anime ever with multiple seasons. The series also has three anime movies in its arsenal, with a fourth, titled My Hero Academia: You’re Next, upcoming. Season 7 will be adapting multiple story arcs including the Final War Arc of the manga. This, coupled with the many seasons of the anime, has raised the question whether this will be the final season of My Hero Academia. Is My Hero Academia Season 7 the final season? My Hero Academia Season 7 is not the last season of the anime. The manga isn’t finished yet, so there will definitely be more seasons in the future. My Hero Academia Season 7 adapts the Star and Stripe Arc, the U.A. Traitor Arc, and the start of the Final War Arc. The episode count of the upcoming season still hasn’t been announced, so, it’s difficult to say how much of the Final War Arc will be included. However, given the length of the arc in the manga far, we can safely say that Season 7 will only get to adapt a small part of it, half at most. The trailer of the season has already hinted so. While this season of My Hero Academia is not the finale, it is true that the series is heading towards its conclusion. The manga is at the latter stages of the Final War Arc with the character developments of major characters like Bakugo, Shoto, and Ochako already resolved. In 2021, My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi revealed in an interview that the manga is entering the final phase of the story. The Final War Arc began in 2022 and has been going on for more than two years, with 73 chapters to date. The number of chapters, increasing almost every week, makes it clear that the anime will need at least another season to cover the whole story. So, we can expect My Hero Academia Season 8, and possibly more, depending on length. However, this is a conjecture at this point. We’ll only get a more accurate idea when the season is released and the pacing of the anime becomes apparent. My Hero Academia Season 7 is one of the highly anticipated upcoming anime of 2024, so it’s better to be prepared before sitting down to watch it. Here are our looks at Dabi’s true identity and the Pro Hero Best Jeanist to help you with that.

Is Netflix changing the meaning of anime? NetflixWith new original series and a vast library of classics, Netflix is making waves in the anime industry. But can Netflix original anime be considered anime at all? The popularity of anime has recently skyrocketed around the world, captivating people of all ages and genders. However, with its growing fanbase, the industry has also undergone a significant transformation. The line between what constitutes anime and animation is blurring, thanks in part to streaming giants such as Netflix. But now Netflix has exclusive distribution rights on shows like The Seven Deadly Sins, and is creating its own original “anime” series made for a Western audience, the industry’s transformation could see it becoming unrecognizable for fans. So can anime really be made in America? Will Netflix become one of the biggest anime studios? This is how the streaming giant is changing the meaning of anime – for better or for worse. Netflix and anime: A brief history In 2014, after dipping its toes into the world of anime, Netflix took the plunge and produced its first original series based on the manga Knights of Sidonia. Things only grew from there. Over the following years, Netflix exclusively licensed several popular anime series, including the popular Little Witch Academia from Studio Trigger, cementing the streaming giant as a serious contender against big names like Crunchyroll and Funimation. Then in late 2017, Netflix made another significant commitment to anime. They announced an $8 billion investment to make 50% of their content library original, encompassing various genres, with anime being a focal point. By 2021, Netflix’s Chief Anime Producer, Taiki Sakurai, revealed an ambitious plan to release 40 new anime shows a year, demonstrating the streaming giant’s strong dedication to the anime industry. In addition to its existing anime library, which includes beloved Studio Ghibli works and classics like FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Netflix ventured into producing original anime shows that we know and love today, including Castlevania: Nocturne, Captain Laserhawk and its latest hit Pluto. But can anime really be made in America? To answer the question, we first have to look into the definition of anime. What is the definition of anime? Traditionally, anime refers to hand-drawn, computer-generated animation exclusively produced in Japan, and with significant Japanese creative input as popularised by Studio Ghibli and MAPPA. However, Netflix has set in motion a challenge to this conventional understanding of anime. By providing funding and producing series in an anime style intended for a Western audience, as seen in the case of Castlevania, a debate has erupted within the anime community. This debate centers on drawing the line between anime and Western cartoons. For some, the inclusion of popular series like Avatar in the anime category blurs the distinction, leading them to argue that creations like Netflix’s Captain Laserhawk and Castlevania: Nocturne should also be considered anime. On the other hand, there are purists who adhere to a stricter definition, reserving the term “anime” exclusively for traditional TV series and movies with Japanese origins, such as Death Note and Sailor Moon. The tension between these two perspectives highlights the evolving nature of the anime genre in a globalized media landscape. Traditional vs. New Age anime Let’s take a closer look at this debate. For many traditionalists, the term “anime” holds particular cultural significance for animation closely tied to Japan. In their eyes, Netflix’s broad application of the term blurs the cultural boundaries of the medium, including raising concerns about cultural appropriation and the dilution of anime’s identity. On the other hand, without change, there is no progress. Anime was once a dying industry, suffering from ups and downs and a lack of profit – until now. The anime industry is thriving like never before and this, in part, is due to a growing Western audience. The impact of Netflix’s involvement Netflix’s entry into the anime industry is clearly driven by financial incentives and a desire to broaden its global audience. This strategic decision not only makes business sense but also brings about significant changes in the economics of anime production. As Kazuya Masumoto, a director at Studio Trigger revealed at the Machi Asobi anime event (as shared by Gigazine), the cost of creating a standard 30-minute anime episode has risen significantly, now ranging between 25-30 million yen for smaller studios and reaching 50-60 million yen per episode for the larger ones. Netflix’s financial investment into anime has undeniably improved production quality and provided creators with more substantial budgets. While this is an advantage for the individual cogs in anime’s machine, like artists, writers, and actors, it also poses challenges for smaller studios, making it financially difficult to produce original works. The expansion of anime’s audience is also clear to see. With platforms like Netflix bringing the medium into the mainstream, and celebrities like the Sprouse Brothers and Megan Thee Stallion embracing their love of anime in music, on social media, and at star-studded parties, it’s clear that its growth will only continue. Netflix’s documentary, “Enter The Anime,” sheds light on their role in redefining anime’s boundaries and features Western creators like Adi Shankar, the producer of “Castlevania,” alongside Japanese creators and actors. This emphasis on Western involvement underscores Netflix’s intention to reshape the perception of anime as a global medium that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. With Netflix shaking up the traditional production model, anime is now as accessible to Western audiences as it is to Japanese viewers. This influence is reshaping the industry to cater to broader and more popular tastes, raising questions among fans about the potential transformation of the medium they hold dear. Netflix, anime, and the bigger picture While the debate over what qualifies as anime continues to rage, it’s important to acknowledge that definitions evolve over time. Therefore, as the global landscape of the entertainment industry becomes more connected, the labels of anime and animation will change to reflect this. However, Netflix’s rapid influence on the anime industry is undeniable. The streaming giant has contributed to its financial growth, increased its global reach, and challenged traditional definitions. But the essence of anime will always remain the same. Its unique stories and artistic styles will continue capturing the imagination of global audiences, regardless of the label attached to it. In the end, what really matters is the appreciation of this vibrant and ever-evolving industry. You can check out our other anime coverage here.

Is One Piece Egghead Island Arc coming on Netflix? IMDBOne Piece Egghead Island premiered on Crunchyroll recently, and now, fans who can’t access the platform want to know if the new story arc is coming to Netflix. One Piece is an anime that has been running for decades, and it still hasn’t lost its charm. In fact, with each passing year, the One Piece community only keeps growing. After the Wano Arc, the anime series moved forward with the Egghead Island Arc that began with Episode 1089 on January 7, 2023. The previous arc technically ended on the 1085th episode, but it took four more episodes to show the transitional phase. Following the events of the Wano Arc, Luffy’s crew heads toward a new and more challenging adventure. While many significant characters accompany the Straw Hat Pirate, some are left behind. Will One Piece Egghead Arc be released on Netflix? Initially, only Crunchyroll and Funimation held the responsibility of simulcasting the episodes of Egghead Arc. However, Netflix recently revealed on social media that the new episodes of One Piece will be made available on the platform starting January 13, 2024. When writing this article, we aren’t aware of the time schedule the anime will follow on Netflix. Even though the streaming giant hosts several anime in its library, none of those are as extensive as One Piece. Also, it’s worth pointing out that the platform doesn’t have all the episodes that lead to Egghead Island Arc. However, it has recently added the episodes of Marineford Arc. One Piece live-action has been a success for Netflix – it also became one of the most-watched series on the streaming platform. So, there is a possibility that Netflix has decided to add the episodes after analyzing the potential of the popular animanga series. Adding to that, the platform has also started working on One Piece’s remake with a new set of animators. In a nutshell, One Piece has become one of the favorite franchises for Netflix. Apart from that, the newest film release within the franchise, One Piece Film: Red, is available to watch on Netflix. So, if you haven’t watched the movie yet, you can stream it now from the comfort of your home. Check out our One Piece coverage below and our other anime content here:

Is the anime industry at its peak? Bandai Namco FilmworksRecent comments from high-profile anime creators have raised the alarm about the future of the anime industry, which begs the question: has it reached its peak? The anime industry has entered its golden age. With the growing international popularity of series like Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, and One Piece, anime has become a very mainstream past-time. But how much longer can this prosperous period last? Following recent controversies from Studio MAPPA and fans’ concerns arising over Netflix’s One Piece remake, certain prominent animators have predicted that the industry could soon collapse. One of these figures includes 82-year-old Gundam director Yoshiyuki Tomino, based on a recent interview he did with Toyo Keizei. Yoshiyuki Tomino’s interview On December 17, legendary Mobile Suit Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino shared that he believes the anime boom has peaked. “The anime industry is in a period of prosperity,” he said in the interview with Japanese outlet Toyokeizai, when asked about how he views the current condition of the anime industry after nearly 50 years in service. “The excitement may continue for another five or six years, but then it will probably start to decline.” Regardless of how serious this decline is, the anime industry won’t disappear in the near future. However, it could undergo huge changes based on the changing social expectations for animators, developments in AI, and improved technologies. Although Tomino is happy with society’s increased respect for the anime industry, joking that he can now go to the tax office without being ridiculed for his profession, changing times, cultures, and technologies have contributed to a shift in the industry. “After switching from hand-drawn animation to digital, many of Disney’s works became disappointing,” Tomino explained, when discussing how these technological improvements will impact the industry. According to Tomino, anime may start to decline in a few years due to changing fashions – in the same way that this has impacted many other mediums. However, much like many old-school anime creators, he believes that the industry’s declining creativity can be blamed on conditions being too soft. In the interview, Tomino argues that air-conditioned rooms and simpler digital animation styles have taken away the drive behind industry greats. How will AI impact the anime industry? Throughout the interview, Yoshiyuki Tomino emphasizes that humans have an amazing “ability to discern when something is different.” Which applies to AI enhanced work. “Humans like things that are real,” he said. “So they can distinguish between things that are not real.” Because of this, he believes that machine-made anime won’t capture the same creative machine that hand-drawn series do, highlighting Hayao Miyazaki’s works – which make use of traditional production environments – as anime classics. In the interview, he also argues that animators need to see the world to enhance their own works. “Don’t be afraid to see the scene,” he said. “For example, in the case of agriculture, climate, topography, and geology … if you only look at the numbers on the slip, it’s no good.” This makes sense, as creators wouldn’t be able to produce believable animations if they haven’t experienced it for themselves. Will the anime industry decline? Technology and social media have put anime on the map across the world. But, they could also serve as its downfall. According to Jujutsu Kaisen O animation director Terumi Nishii’s twitter comments on November 28, the anime industry only has a few years left before it collapses. And also Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fukimoto’s interview argues that Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki is a dying breed and the last animator to travel the world so that he can feature underrepresented environments and cultures that animators who have never left Japan couldn’t possibly understand. Although increasing access to social media could combat this creative decline, the legendary director is correct that there are many cultures and elements of the human experience we cannot understand through our screens. Anime is raking in more money than ever before, with huge platforms like Netflix capitalizing on its success. But recent statements from animators have raised concerns about working conditions, which will potentially drive away gifted animators to be replaced by machines. However, in response to these challenges, Tomino cautions against Hollywood’s profit-centric trap, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing quality over quantity, instead of going down the path of producing mindless blockbusters. These comments come at a time when Netflix has just announced yet another One Piece remake, prompting fans to express concern over the necessity of the new series. Despite uncertainty shrouding the anime industry’s success, it’s essential to recognize that these worries are rooted in speculation. Right now, fans don’t need to worry about the fate of their favorite films and TV series. However, the industry’s changing landscape will leave its mark on how we produce and consume anime, changing it for the better – or the worse.

Is My Hero Academia Chapter 422 out this week? CrunchyrollFans are eagerly waiting for My Hero Academia Chapter 422. But is the chapter coming out this week? My Hero Academia is currently in the final stretch of the Final War Arc. The arc has been going on for a while and our heroes have seen plenty of ups and downs throughout. In recent chapters, the manga took a dark turn which made things more difficult for the heroes. In My Hero Academia Chapter 421, Deku becomes Quirkless. After transferring all the vestiges of the past One For All users and the Quirk itself, he has gone back to how he started his journey: without a Quirk. On top of that, All For One has taken control of Shigaraki’s body. Deku becoming Quirkless is a huge turning point for the manga. While he has his classmates and other Pro Heroes to aid him against All For One, things are still looking bleak for him. But will we get to see what happens to him next in My Hero Academia Chapter 422? That’s a question that needs answering. Is My Hero Academia Chapter 422 out this week? My Hero Academia Chapter 422 is not out this week. Due to Golden Week in Japan, the manga is on a break, skipping the expected date of May 5, 2024. Every year, Japan has a week that spans from late April to early May that has several consecutive holidays. This is known as the Golden Week in Japan. Most workers in the country usually take the whole stretch off, including the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine which houses My Hero Academia. Golden Week 2024 starts on Saturday, April 27, and ends on Monday, May 6. Weekly Shonen Jump will not be published as usual, meaning that My Hero Academia and every other manga it houses, including One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen, are on a break. The break due to Golden Week is a normal occurrence in the manga industry. Every year, the Weekly Shonen Jump titles get a break for a week because of the Golden Week. This year is the same. That means we will get My Hero Academia Chapter 422 not until next week. When is the My Hero Academia manga back? The My Hero Academia manga will be back on Sunday, May 12, 2024. Chapter 422 will be released on that date at 7 am Pacific Time (PT). Readers will find the chapter available on Shueisha’s official platforms: Manga Plus and Viz Media. While the manga will be on a break this week, the anime will be making its debut with the seventh season. My Hero Academia Season 7 will premiere on May 4, 2024 as one of the titles from the Spring 2024 season. Find out how to watch My Hero Academia in order and if My Hero Academia Season 7 is the anime’s final season.

Is My Hero Academia Chapter 424 the last manga chapter? Kohei Horikoshi/ShueishaThe title of My Hero Academia Chapter 424 is ‘Epilogue’ — does it mean that this is the last manga chapter? Let’s find out. My Hero Academia manga recently completed 10 years of serialization. This momentous achievement was followed by the announcement of its imminent ending. The manga finished its previous arc, the Final War Arc, in Chapter 423, with the defeat of All For One and Shigaraki. With the Final War, the story has also wrapped up the character arcs of all the major characters. Now all that’s left is winding up the loose threads of the overall plot. For example, whether Deku gets his Quirk back is yet to be revealed in the manga. However, the spoilers of My Hero Academia Chapter 424 come as a surprise as the chapter title is revealed to be ‘Epilogue’. This has the fandom abuzz with questions regarding the new chapter being the final chapter of the manga. But is that really the case? Is My Hero Academia Chapter 424 the last chapter of the manga? My Hero Academia Chapter 424 is not the last chapter of the manga. Though the title of the chapter can be confusing, the manga still has a way to go before rounding off the story for good. The first clue toward this is the fact that Chapter 424 doesn’t announce it as the last My Hero Academia chapter. This means there are more chapters coming forward. In the very least, there will be one more following Chapter 424. This also makes sense because the new chapter, despite its title, doesn’t really give proper closure to its characters. Though the chapter confirms what happened to Shigaraki following the end of the war, it doesn’t reveal anything concrete about One For All. Similarly, the chapter beautifully wraps up Bakugo’s redemption arc with him declaring to want to compete with Deku forever, but we get nothing on other major characters like Shoto and Ochako. All Chapter 424 shows is the aftermath of the war’s ending. Japan is in disarray and Pro Heroes from other countries arrive to help them out. Most of those who fought in the war are terribly injured and hospitalized. We get glimpses of Bakugo, Deku, and All Might. What happened to the rest of them is still unknown. Seeing the events of Chapter 424, it’s obvious the new chapter is more of the fallout rather than the epilogue itself. This means the real epilogue will come eventually as My Hero Academia Chapter 424 is not the last chapter of the manga. It’s also hinted at by Deku as he says in his monologue that they need to go beyond and create their bright future. However, the biggest hint of My Hero Academia Chapter 424 not being the last chapter comes from the manga’s creator Kohei Horikoshi himself. “Writing conventions say that the conclusion of a story should be short, but this is not the type of manga that can immediately end after the fighting is done,” the author commented in lieu of the release of Chapter 424, “so I’ll keep going for a little while.” We’re going back to the title.” As the author said, the story isn’t over yet and it’s going back to its origin. The mean even as the My Hero Academia manga ending approaching soon, we won’t get to the finish line until we see Deku and his friends as students again. When will the next My Hero Academia chapter be released? As there is no break next week, the next chapter of My Hero Academia, Chapter 425, will be released on June 9, 2024. The chapter is expected to follow Deku as he goes back to U.A. with his friends, leading towards the real epilogue of the story. My Hero Academia Chapter 424 will be released on June 2, 2024. To know more about these aspiring superheroes, check out our takes on Deku’s biggest change and Deku’s new Quirk. You might also like our list on the best Quirks stolen by All For One.

Is Eiichiro Oda’s Monsters canon to One Piece? Crunchyroll & NetflixThe story of Monsters was crafted by Eiichiro Oda before One Piece. Since both these stories feature some similar aspects, let’s find out if the former is canon to the latter. Eiichiro Oda is a fantastic author, as he has blessed the animanga community with the spectacular One Piece series. The long-running franchise has become so popular that many may have forgotten that Oda worked on other material that never got the same recognition. However, the end of 2023 came with the intriguing announcement that the anime adaptation of Oda’s one-shot manga, Monsters, would be coming to Netflix in early 2024. The previous year was marvelous for anime fans, partly due One Piece. The animanga franchise broke several records, whether it’s the manga, anime, or Netflix’s live-action series, with the latter breaking th curse of anime adaptations. Now, after the arrival of Monsters, the fandom wants to know if there’s a connection between this new anime and One Piece. Is Netflix’s Monsters canon to One Piece? Yes, Monsters is canon to One Piece. Initially, when Eiichiro Oda planned to work on Monsters, he never thought of making it a canon to any of his future works. However, when One Piece’s ‘Thriller Barc Arc’ arrived, Ryuma, the main protagonist of Monsters, appeared in a zombified appearance, making the one-shot canon to One Piece. Even though Monsters has an entirely different storyline that focuses on Ryuma and his struggles, Eiichiro Oda spilled the beans about the connection between the two of his works in the SBS section of One Piece manga Volume 47. For the unacquainted, the SBS section is a special column in the physical copies of the manga which features a Q&A session between Oda and his admirers. Oda revealed that One Piece and Monsters do not share the same storyline, but the Ryuma featured in these are indeed the same. So, it would be safe to say that the latter belongs to the same universe, and it is canon to the famed Japanese media franchise. What is Monsters about? The story of the one-shot starts with a powerful dragon horn that was stolen a long ago, but no one clearly remembers it. Ryuma, the protagonist of the story, gets kicked out of a restaurant as he isn’t able to pay the bills for the food he ordered. On the other hand, waitress Flare comes across Cyrano, who once saved her life and eventually became a hero. However, when she witnesses Ryuma standing outside the restaurant and continuously looking at Cyrano’s plate, she gives him something to eat. Ryuma was hungry for several days, so he showed gratitude to the waitress. Later, Ryuma finds out that Flare’s town was once attacked by a dragon, and no one survived the calamity except her and Cyrano, who saved her. Ryuma looks forward to knowing more about the whole incident. However, before he can find out anything, he gets falsely framed for an act that he didn’t commit. He gets accused by the people for all the tragedies that happened in the town. Cyrano convinces everyone to evacuate the town, but Ryuma decides to investigate. He finally uncovers the truth and learns that Cyrano and another swordsman D.R. were in collusion with each other from the beginning, and they were the ones who orchestrated all this. Who is Ryuma? Ryuma is a swordsman who hails from the Wano Country. His swordsman skills have earned him the title of “Sword God,” and he is also nicknamed “King” by the people he protects, but he’s not aware of the title. He has an incredible grasp on the sword that lets him slice off even the toughest metals with a little effort. Ryuma also defeated the huge dragon that D.R. summoned. Ryuma has a kind soul that doesn’t let him forget the ones who helped him along the way. In fact, he never misses a chance to show gratitude towards them. However, when he dies, and his corpse is reimagined by Brook’s shadow, he returns as an antagonist in the ‘Thriller Bark arc’ as a Zombie, only to get defeated at the hands of Zoro.

Is Garp alive in One Piece? What happened to him in Hachinosu? CrunchyrollMonkey D. Garp invaded Hachinosu and challenged the Blackbeard Pirates to save Koby, but his status remained unknown after the fight. So, here’s what happened to him. The Egghead Arc in One Piece features the Marine’s battle against Blackbeard Pirates. They captured Koby and the SWORD members led by Garp raided Hachinosu. However, Teach’s crew was much stronger than it used to be two years prior. They even had Kuzan, a former Admiral in their crew. The Ten Titanic Captains are some of the most powerful pirates in the New World. In comparison, the SWORD members aren’t that strong. Garp, on the other hand, was the pillar of the rescue team. However, after getting on years and facing his former student as an enemy, Garp took some serious damage. His status remained unknown since then, but One Piece Chapter 1126 finally reveals what happened to him. Warning: This article contains spoilers from the upcoming Chapter 1126! What happened to Garp in Hachinosu? Garp lost the fight against the Blackbeard Pirates in Hachinosu. The fight against the Blackbeard Pirates is the first display of Garp’s true strength as the manga has only told tales of his heroism in his prime. Needless to say, an older Garp is significantly weaker but he still gave Kuzan and the rest of the Pirates a run for their money. Garp was heavily outnumbered but he was mostly fighting against Kuzan. Shiryu also played a major role in the battle and Garp lost against them. Kuzan had Garp pinned down but the latter encourages everyone by saying, “Justice will prevail.” In Chapter 1088, Koby used Honesty Impact to escape with the SWORD members. Although the rescue mission was a success, they still had to leave Garp behind. The Marine Hero proudly laughed at Koby’s heroic display of strength and said that the young Marines were the future of the Navy. The manga never cleared what the Blackbeard Pirates did to him until Chapter 1126. Is Garp alive in the One Piece manga? Yes, Garp is currently alive in One Piece. In One Piece Chapter 1126, Blackbeard returns to Hachinosu after his fight with the Heart Pirates. During the time he was away, Garp and the SWORD members raided his pirate paradise. After returning, he rebukes Pizzaro for allowing Koby to escape while also praising Kuzan for capturing Garp. It’s clear that they will keep Garp hostage for a while, but at least the manga has confirmed that the beloved Marine Hero is still alive. He is covered in bandages and chained up in a prison cell. One Piece manga will soon commence the second arc of the Final Saga, so check out our guide on what to expect from the Elbaf Arc.

Is Godzilla in Kaiju No 8? CrunchyrollDespite Godzilla’s overgrown presence in pop culture since 1954, kaiju anime is relatively rare. Kaiju No 8 is here to help fill a glaring hole, but does Godzilla make an appearance? Kaiju No 8 has the potential to be one of the best anime of the year, thanks to Naoya Matsumoto’s execution of a clever premise. In the future, as giant monsters terrorize us, a man gains the ability to become a kaiju. It’s something he has to keep under wraps, since the military are well-equipped to handle big beasties. Still, he finds ways to contribute to the war effort, with the help of some trust friends. Given the title, you might think Godzilla’s involved. Is he in Kaiju No 8? Do any other Toho legends make an appearance? We explain all. Is Godzilla in Kaiju No 8? Sadly, Godzilla isn’t part of Kaiju No 8, and won’t be making an appearance on the show. Kaiju No 8 is an original story by Naoya Matsumoto that has no relation to Godzilla or Toho’s stable of other monsters, such as Mothra or King Ghidorah. Although Godzilla has heavy association with the term, ‘kaiju’ really just refers to anything that involves giant monsters. Cloverfield would be a kaiju film, and Attack on Titan a kaiju anime. Kaiju No 8 borrows a little from the latter, since the protagonist transforms into a huge beast, much like Eren Yaeger. In Kaiju No 8, Earth is invaded by more and more gigantic monstrosities. The hero, Kafka, then gains the power to become one, something he has to keep a secret from the defense forces. You’ll find lots of Godzilla’s DNA throughout the seinen anime from the kaiju attacks seeming like a weapon of mass destruction through to the mystery surrounding the creatures. The King of the Monsters looms large over anything that steps into his domain, and Kaiju No 8 is no different.

Is Haikyuu!! manga finished? Haruichi Furudate/ShueishaThe new Haikyuu!! movie that’s taking the world by the storm is adapted from the manga of the same name. We can tell you if it’s finished and any other details you might want. Haikyuu!! is one of the most popular and influential sports manga of all time. Written and illustrated by Haruichi Furudate, the manga was first published in 2012 and found exceptional reception in the following years. The story was later adapted into an anime show in 2014 by Production I.G. The sports anime is as successful as the manga and easily one of the best anime for beginners. So far, the Haikyuu!! anime has four seasons in total, along with the new movie, Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle. While Haikyuu!! had some compilation anime movies in between seasons, Haikyuu!!: The Battle of the Garbage Dump is the first proper picture in the franchise. It follows Karasuno’s journey in the knockout stage of the National Spring Tournament after Season 4, as they play their most anticipated match against Nekoma. Is Haikyuu!! manga finished? The Haikyuu!! manga is finished. It ended in 2020 after eight years of serialization with Chapter 402 as the final chapter. The manga follows Shoyo Hinata, a teenager who dreams of becoming a volleyball player despite his short height after seeing the high school volleyball player, ‘Little Giant’, play on TV. However, his dream faces its first hurdle as Hinata plays against the prodigious ‘King of the Court’, Tobio Kageyama, in his first-ever official match and suffers a crushing defeat. Vowing to defeat Kageyama, Hinata goes to Karasuno High, the same school Little Giant went to. Little does he know that he’ll not only see his biggest enemy there but also has to become teammates with him. Thus starts the journey of Hinata and Kageyama as they become members of the Karasuno volleyball team and grow stronger together. The majority of the 402 chapters of the Haikyuu!! manga focus on their journey as first-year students. The only exception is the last arc of the manga which features a time-skip, and shows a grown-up Hinata and Kageyama having their fated match against each other on a professional level. How many arcs are in the Haikyuu!! manga? There are six arcs in the Haikyuu!! manga. They are as follows: the Karasuno High Team Formation Arc, the Interhigh Arc, the Tokyo Expedition Arc, the Spring High Preliminary Arc, the Tokyo Nationals Arc, and the Final Arc. Each arc contains multiple matches and has different durations. For example, the Karasuno High Team Formation Arc is 35 chapters long and features Karasuno’s practice matches among themselves and with Seijoh and Nekoma, followed by the Interhigh Arc. The shortest of the lot is the Tokyo Expedition Arc which runs for 24 chapters as Karasuno goes to Tokyo to practice with powerhouse schools like Fukurodani, Shinzen, Ubugawa, and Nekoma. This arc also introduces important characters like Kotaro Bokuto, Keiji Akaashi, and Lev Haiba. On the other hand, the Tokyo Nationals Arc is the longest arc of the Haikyuu!! manga. It’s 162 chapters long and features some of the biggest matches of the series. Karasuno plays four matches in this arc, against Tsubakihara, Inarizaki, Nekoma, and Kamomedai respectively. The last one, the Final Arc, is where readers get to see the characters as grown-ups after the time-skip. It starts from Chapter 370 and runs for 32 chapters. Years after Karasuno’s first stint in the Nationals, everyone has gone their own way. Hinata left for Brazil after finishing high school while Kageyama was scouted into a professional team right from the get go. The boys reunite years later as Hinata comes back to Japan as a professional volleyballer and their teams have their much-anticipated match. This arc leads to the finale of the Haikyuu!! manga in Chapter 402. Is there a Haikyuu!! spin-off manga? There is no official spin-off from the Haikyuu!! manga. However, there are three one-shots, released after the official ending of the manga, that feature certain events after the last match of the story. Since they are created by the author, these chapters are canon to the overall story. The three one-shots of Haikyuu!! focus on different characters. The first one-shot shows Kuroo trying to recruit pro volleyball players for an all-stars special match to advertise volleyball to the general populace. The next one-shot shows Hinata and Kageyama going to the beach with Kindaichi and Kunimi to play beach volleyball. The last one focuses on the Nekoma players as they gather for a get-together. There are also two spoofs of the Haikyuu!! manga. The first one is ‘Let’s! Haikyuu!?’ which was first published in 2014 and written and illustrated by Retsu. It has 11 volumes and 307 chapters in total. The other one is ‘Haikyuu-buu!!’, written and illustrated by Kyouhei Miyajima, and was released back in 2019. It has 145 chapters in total, including the extra chapters. Where should you start the Haikyuu!! manga after The Dumpster Battle? If you’re looking forward to reading the Haikyuu!! manga after watching The Dumpster Battle, then Chapter 338 is where you need to pick up the manga. The Battle of the Garbage Dump ends in Chapter 324 with the next chapter focusing on Nekoma players after their journey in the Nationals ends. The movie adapts the entire Karasuno vs. Nekoma match as well as the emotional scenes afterwards before ending with an after-credit scene that teases Karasuno’s match against Kamomedai. In the Haikyuu!! manga, Karasuno vs. Kamomedai match starts in Chapter 339 with the previous chapter showing the events following up to it. The match goes on for 29 chapters before ending in Chapter 368. Chapter 369 is the last chapter of the Tokyo Nationals Arc as it shows the events that happen after the much-awaited match. But if you’re also interested in characters other than the Karasuno boys, then you should pick up the Haikyuu!! manga from Chapter 326. The chapters up to Chapter 337 focuses on Fukurodani’s match against Mujinazaka. This match may not be crucial to Karasuno’s journey but it is an intense showdown that shows the chemistry between Fukurodani’s team as well as between its ace and setter. The match sheds light on the characters of Bokuto and Akaashi and gives them more depth. However, the anime seems to be ignoring Fukurodani’s match as Haikyuu: The Battle of the Garbage Dump ignores it in favor of Karasuno’s match against Kamomedai. Looking at the ending of the film, it’s safe to say that the following film will focus on that match instead of Fukurodani’s match. That’s all you need to know on the Haikyuu!! manga. For more on these volleyball boys, check out our guide on the Haikyuu movie global release dates as well as our Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle review. And if you’re looking for some anime recommendations after finishing Haikyuu!!, our guides on best upcoming romance anime series and tear-jerking short anime series might help.

Is Castlevania: Nocturne a sequel? NetflixNot every anime based on popular video game franchises is as good as Castlevania, which ruled over the hearts of audiences from 2017 to 2021. So, when Castlevania: Nocturne was announced during the Netflix Geeked event in 2022, every fan wondered if the new Castlevania show was a sequel to the previous one. Castlevania is one of the most popular gaming properties, and when its animated adaptation made its way to the screens for the first time, it impressed not only the anime community but the gaming community as well. The first three seasons of the series received huge praise, but unfortunately, the final season’s viewership were polarized due to its pacing. However, Castlevania still has the spark, all thanks to the attractive visuals, cinematography, character developments, spectacular voice acting, and terror-stricken background sound effects. Over the years, Castlevania has accumulated a cult fandom, and here’s some information that fans might be curious to know about. Is Castlevania: Nocturne a sequel to the previous series? Castlevania: Nocturne may or may not be called a sequel to the first series. That’s because, even though the series takes place in the same universe as the previous Castlevania series, it will come with a different story and an entirely new character/cast. So, it would be fair to call it a spin-off instead of a sequel. The first Castlevania series was set in Wallachia in the 1470s, while the second entry in its universe will occur in 1792 in France. Three years have passed since the events of Trevor-centred Castlevania, and now, it’s time for another Belmont to rise and save humankind. So, it’s obvious we will not be getting to see any character from the previous series except Alucard, Dracula’s son. The spin-off series was initially announced with a short teaser, but that doesn’t give us an overview of the story. All we learned was that this time, Richter Belmont would be the one to slay every threat to his own kind. The second was revealed later, introducing us to the second protagonist, Maria Renard. However, when the third trailer surfaced, fans couldn’t control their excitement as it gave a detailed sneak peek at the events of the new Castlevania series. Castlevania: Nocturne is the adaptation of two video games by Konami, i.e., Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, featuring Vampire Messiah as the main antagonist. Castlevania: Nocturne will start streaming on Netflix on September 28, 2023. If you are a Castlevania fan, do not miss watching Richter Belmont carrying forward the legacy of his ancestors.

Is Demon Slayer Season 4 delayed? CrunchyrollDemon Slayer Season 4 has just announced its release date, but it’s later than what you originally assumed – so has it been delayed? One of the most popular dark Shonen anime series, Demon Slayer, will shortly air its fourth season. The latest Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training movie was a global hit, which featured the Swordsmith Village Arc finale, the first episode of the upcoming season, as well as the opening theme titled “Mugen” by MY FIRST STORY and HYDE. Hashira Training is the last arc of the series before the Final Battle arc begins. As the Hashira and all the demon slayers train relentlessly for the final showdown, Muzan has set his sights on Nezuko and her ability to conquer the sun. The highly-anticipated Demon Slayer Season 4 has just announced its official release date, along with an amazing trailer. However, has the season been delayed? Is there a delay in Demon Slayer Season 4? Demon Slayer Season 4 was previously believed to premiere in April 2024. However, according to the latest trailer, the series will air on May 12, 2024. Some major news websites predicted the release date to be in April. Even MyAnimeList updated it on their website. However, it wasn’t announced on the official website of the anime or on Crunchyroll. On December 10, 2023, the franchise confirmed the release window, which led to rumors about the April release date. Considering the release window of Demon Slayer 4 is spring 2024, many naturally assumed that it would start in April, the first month of the quarter when a majority of the series debuted. However, May also falls in the previously announced release window, which means, that the series hasn’t been delayed. What will happen in the Hashira Training arc? The Hashira Training arc has only nine chapters in the manga, which is too few to have an entire season. Therefore, the season will also adapt scenes from the light novel. The first episode will be a special 1-hour premiere. The story takes place after the slayers defeat the Upper Moons with their newly developed marks, and the Demon Slayer Corps begin training to manifest them. After centuries of struggle, humans finally have hope of defeating the Upper Moons and Muzan Kibutsuji for the first time in centuries. However, the training to develop these marks is too intense for most of them.

Is Demon Slayer Season 4 streaming? How to watch the Hashira Training Arc CrunchyrollThe highly-anticipated Demon Slayer Season 4 has finally debuted — so here’s how and what time you can watch it. Demon Slayer Season 4 is one of the most highly anticipated anime of the year. The previous season features the Demon Slayers fighting with two Upper Moons, and despite all odds, they won against those powerful monsters. Mitsuri and Muichiro, awakening their Demon Slayer Marks, made significant contributions to the battle. Meanwhile, Tanjiro had already awakened his a while back. The upcoming season will feature Tanjiro and others undergoing vigorous training to develop their skills as part of the Hashira Training Arc. The arc has only nine chapters in the manga, which isn’t enough to create an entire season. Hence, Demon Slayer Season 4 will include a few scenes from the light novel to make up for the lack of material. Is Demon Slayer Season 4 streaming? Demon Slayer Season 4, Episode 2 will be streaming on Crunchyroll on May 19, 2024 at 11:45am PST/02:45pm EST. The first episode is a special one-hour premiere to kick off the season. New episodes will be broadcast every Sunday on Japanese networks at 11:15am JST, and arrive on Crunchyroll at the aforementioned time weekly. Crunchyroll will have an English dub at a later date, we’ll keep you updated on when that will be available. Where to watch Demon Slayer Season 4 Demon Slayer Season 4 is available on Crunchyroll on the same day episodes premiere in Japan. The series is officially available on the service in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, India, and Southeast Asia. Crunchyroll has the day-and-date release, but it isn’t the only platform the show is available on. Is Demon Slayer Season 4 on Netflix? No, Demon Slayer Season 4 isn’t on Netflix in the US or UK – yet. There’s some confusion, because Netflix breaks down Demon Slayer episodes by arc, so the Entertain District Arc is considered Season 3, when it’s actually part of Season 2, and the Swordsmith Village Arc is listed as Season 4. It’s confusing, but the important information is that the actual Demon Slayer Season 4, the Hashira Training Arc, isn’t on the service yet. We expected it to arrive at some point in 2024, once all the episodes are out. For more from Demon Slayer, check out our list of things you should know before watching Season 4. We also have a guide on how to watch Demon Slayer in order, and can tell you whether you should watch To The Hashira Training first.

Is Dragon Ball Super coming back? DBZ confirms “mysterious teaser” at NYCC ToeiDBZ fans are convinced that the Dragon Ball Super anime could finally return after multiple official accounts revealed that a “mysterious new teaser” will debut at New York Comic Con. It’s been years since the Dragon Ball Super anime ended with the conclusion of the Tournament of Power and fans have been hungry for more content since and they might soon get their wish. Since 2018, the Dragon Ball Super manga has continued, picking up where the anime left off. Additionally, there have been two new movies in the form of Broly and Super Hero, but the anime has remained dormant. On September 7, official Dragon Ball Z social media accounts, including Japanese ones, began hyping up a “new teaser” that debut at New York Comic Con suggesting something big is in the works. Is a new Dragon Ball anime or movie being announced at NYCC? The official New York Comic Con website states that on October 12, there will be a special Dragon Ball panel. Although it’s not yet clear who will partake, the description is raising some eyebrows. “We will talk about new developments in the Dragon Ball series, along with a mysterious new teaser. Also the appearance of special guests!” it says. As reported by DBS Hype, Toei Animation, Dokkan Battle, Super Dragon Ball Heroes and the DB Games all reposted the original announcement indicating that they all want eyes on this panel. Of course, there’s no confirmation that an anime or movie will be announced. It’s also possible that the trailer could be for Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4, a game that is rumored to have a massive roster that could even rival that of Xenoverse 2’s. We’ll have to see what ends up being shown off by the time New York Comic Con arrives and what the future may hold for Goku, Vegeta, Frieza and the rest of the characters from the beloved series.

Iconic Ghost in the Shell star Atsuko Tanaka dies at 61 Production I.G./Anime News NetworkPopular voice actress Atsuko Tanaka has died at 61 from an undisclosed disease, as reported by her son Hikaru Tanaka. One of the most prolific voice actors in the industry, Tanaka is most well known for her role in the iconic cyberpunk anime franchise Ghost in the Shell. It started with the beloved 1995 anime movie where she voiced the protagonist Motoko Kusanagi. Tanaka started her voice acting career in the 1990s. She lent her voice to several acclaimed projects, including Berserk, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Great Teacher Onizuka. More recently, she voiced Konan from Naruto Shippuden, Hanami from Jujutsu Kaisen, Flamme from Frieran, Lisa Lisa from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Caster from the Fate franchise, and Ryoko Tamiya from Parasyte: The Maxim. Hikaru Tanaka announced his mother’s death on August 20, 2024 with a post on X (previously known as Twitter). In the post, he thanked everyone for supporting him and his family during the trying time. Though Tanaka died from an illness, he didn’t reveal what it was. Tanaka’s death has deeply affected her fans and the anime community. Many people are mourning her, thanking her for her contribution to so many beloved projects. “Thank you for everything. Now rest above and beyond, and be one of the eyes over heaven watching us,” commented one user on X. “Rest in peace Atsuko Tanaka, thank you for giving life to so many characters, you will never leave our hearts,” wrote another before quoting Frieran. “‘Plant flowers around my grave.’” “Tanaka Atsuko’s performance as Konan was truly excellent. May she rest in peace,” shared a third, while a fourth added: “She was my first exposure to anime. RIP Atsuko Tanaka.” Aside from her anime projects, Tanaka also voiced several video game characters, including Hood from Azur Lane, Harumi Kiyama from A Certain Magical Index: Imaginary Fest, and Lara Croft from Tomb Raider 2 and 3. Tanaka’s death is deeply upsetting for the anime community. But it gives us an excuse to revisit some of her best works.

Iconic Sailor Moon and Naruto star dies at 61 Pierrot/IMDbEmi Shinohara, the beloved voice actor of Sailor Moon and Naruto characters, died at the age of 61 on September 8, 2024.

The voice actor, who’s featured in many prominent anime shows, was suffering from an unknown condition and died while under treatment. The company’s website states: “[Sad news] Shinohara Emi (real name Watanabe Emiko), an actor affiliated with our company, passed away on September 8, 2024, at the age of 61, while undergoing medical treatment. We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the kindness shown to us during her lifetime.” This is a blow to the anime industry as the late actor lent her voice to many iconic anime characters including Sailor Moon’s Sailor Jupiter, Naruto Shippuden’s Kushina Uzumaki, Cardcaptor Sakura’s Mizuki Kaho, and Loveless’ Katsuko. Apart from her anime credits, Shinohara also dubbed foreign movies into Japanese. Some of her most well-known dubbing gigs include The Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy (originally played by Judy Garland), The King and I’s Taptip (Rita Moreno), and Leon’s Matilda (Natalie Portman). Following this announcement, fans are grieving her death and paying respect to her illustrious career on social media. One such fan wrote on X, “Rip Emi Shinohara, Kushina, Natsuhi, and Misuzu, thanks for voicing so many great mom characters.” “My deepest condolences to families, friends, and relatives. Last month too, Atsuko Tanaka passed away. This is unreal,” commented another user, referring to Ghost in the Shell voice actor’s death in August 2024.

She has more noteworthy roles than Kushina, like Umineko’s Natsuhi, Project A-Ko’s Biko, & Kekkou Kamen by the way,” added a third. “NOOOOOO. 61?!! She was young af, man. we are having an awful year with so many legends passing,” said one user.

Hunter x Hunter fans are celebrating “one of the best anime episodes” turning 10 Yoshihiro Togashi/MadhouseHunter x Hunter may not be airing anymore for some time but its fandom is still going strong as fans celebrate the 10th anniversary of “one of the best anime episodes” from the series. Hunter x Hunter is considered one of the best anime of all time and a staple of many anime lover’s watchlist. Adapted from the popular manga series by Yoshihiro Togashi, there are actually two Hunter x Hunter anime series, one released in 1999 and the other in 2011. Though the 1999 series received some praise from both critics and viewers, it’s the 2011 adaptation that gets the most attention. This is because the newer anime adapts the Chimera Ant Arc which is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, arcs of the manga. The episode fans are celebrating today is also from the Chimera Ant Arc. It’s Episode 131, titled ‘Anger x And x Light’. This episode not only has incredible animation, direction, and visuals, but it’s also one of the most significant episodes of the entire series. Hunter x Hunter Episode 131 was first released on May 28, 2014, and today marks the 10th anniversary of it. Though the episode is now ten years old, its watchability continues on. In fact, nowadays it’s considered to be one of the greatest anime episodes of all time. Anger x And x Light is known as the episode where Gon unleashes his rage mode. After the gruesome fate Kite received from Neferpitou, Gon is uncharacteristically looking for revenge. He gives Pitou the time to heal Komugi after the Chimera Ant begs him, on the condition that Pitou will heal Kite too after they’re done with Komugi. However, when Pitou fails to do so, Gon unleashes all the rage inside him and transforms into an adult form so powerful that he takes a blink to kill Pitou. This episode is dark, poignant, and absolutely heartbreaking as Killua has to look in horror as his happy-go-lucky friend continues to beat Pitou’s corpse. “The most impactful and unforgettable episode since seeing Goku go Super Saiyan for the first time,” one user on X says as they celebrate the iconic episode turning 10. “Time stopped in this episode and this Chimera Arc, my god!! This is one of the top arcs in the history of anime,” shares another. “Greatest anime episode ever,” comments a third. As fans celebrate the anniversary of this anime episode, the manga is coming back as Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 is all set to be released soon. If you’re an anime fan, we have a lot more for you. Check out our recommendations on anime series with perfect endings, tear-jerking short anime series, anime series you’ve never heard of, and the best seinen anime series.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 officially has a release date, and it’s soon CrunchyrollAfter months of teases, Hunter x Hunter’s official return has a date, and you’ll be reading the latest chapter very soon indeed. We’ve been waiting for Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 for almost two years now. Unfortunately, health issues have slowed down creator Yoshihiro Togashi, who’s been dealing with some chronic back pain. Gradually, though, he’s managed to return to the manga, pushing forward and creating a backlog so readers can enjoy the story again. Now we know when the next chapter arrives. Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 is coming on October 7, 2024, in Shonen Jump Weekly. This was revealed in the Jump Press livestream, where several franchises got updates from the publisher. To call this welcome news is an understatement, as we’ve been getting hints that Yoshihiro was sitting on a few installments of Gon’s misadventures for a while. We don’t know exactly how many chapters are in the wings, but it’s at least a couple of months’ worth, giving plenty of reading for ardent fans. Sadly, there’s no mention of what this might be for the anime show based on the manga, though there could very well be movement there since more runway is coming narratively. “I’ve been waiting forever. Let’s just hope this time it doesn’t go on another long hiatus,” one fan stated on X/Twitter. “Jujutsu Kaisen goes but thankfully Hunter x Hunter returns,” said another. That last comment references another bit of news from that livestream: Jujutsu Kaisen is finishing in five chapters. Yes, we have another climax so soon after the My Hero Academia ending. They just keep coming! At least Hunter X Hunter is indeed coming back for now so fill the gap. We have the ever-reliable One Piece, too. Check out our upcoming anime list for more franchises to keep an eye on if you need to fill a gap in your viewing or reading schedule.

Hunter x Hunter release date announced as beloved manga returns Viz MediaHunter X Hunter has been on hiatus for four years – but now it’s back, with a new release date announced for the upcoming manga chapters. Hunter x Hunter is one of the most popular shonen anime and mangas of recent years. So, when it went into the longest hiatus of its history, four years, fans got increasingly antsy. But now that anticipation can be rewarded, as a date has been given for when Yoshihiro Togashi’s legendary manga series will be returning with new chapters. This is no doubt exciting news, as it likely means that the anime series will follow suit in creating more content in order to adapt the manga. But when will it be coming out? Hunter x Hunter manga set to return on October 23 The series, which initially started appearing in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine back in 1998 will now return after four years near the end of this month, on October 23. The announcement was made by Shonen Jump’s official Twitter account, which featured an illustrated image of the Hunter x Hunter main characters, and its text reflected the excitement that no doubt many fans will be feeling. These new chapters, which will start with chapter 391, will be simulpubbed with the rest of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine offerings as they premiere in Japan. Manga creator Yoshihiro Togashi had actually been teasing new chapters of the manga earlier this year, when he made a Twitter account to announce that work on the manga had resumed, and kept fans up to date with mini updates in the months since. And with this announcement, the three most recent chapters of the series are now available completely for free on the Shonen Jump Vault. So if you’re planning to re-binge the entire series in preparation for the new chapters, now is the time to start. The entire Hunter x Hunter manga run is currently available to read with Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump vault. The Hunter x Hunter anime is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll.

Hunter x Hunter return teased by creator Yoshihiro Togashi NetflixHunter x Hunter author Yoshihiro Togashi’s recent tweet teases the manga’s return in the near future. Hunter x Hunter is considered as one of the best and most influential manga of all time. Debuting in 1999, the manga went on to produce two iconic anime shows based on the story. However, Togashi’s health conditions led the manga to go on frequent hiatus in the latter years. After the manga’s indefinite hiatus was announced in 2022, fans were worried the series would never reach its conclusion. Though it’s still unclear whether the manga will be finished, Hunter x Hunter might actually return soon. In his latest tweet, Togashi posted a picture of the manga page he’s currently working on, with the caption appearing to state that it’s for Hunter x Hunter Chapter 405. “No. 405 is available. Moon healing escalation!” the caption reads. Curiosly, Moon Healing Escalation is a healing ability from Sailor Moon, perhaps suggesting some level of recovery. The post has generated a massive wave in the fandom and the fans are now more hyped than ever for the upcoming chapter. It’s been more than a year since the last chapter was released, with Hunter x Hunter Chapter 400 coming out in December 2022. The hiatus after Chapter 400 was a major one and it seemed like the manga might not ever end properly. Togashi’s poor health made it impossible for him to keep working on the manga. Even then, nothing was officially announced. However, there was also a possibility that Hunter x Hunter would return, especially after one of Togashi’s tweets last year. In October 2023, Togashi tweeted a picture of a blank manga page, teasing the start of Chapter 401. The image confirmed that the author hadn’t given up on the manga and was still working on it. But there was no update after that. It led to many believing that Togashi couldn’t keep working on the chapter due to his health. The theory was solidified even more when Togashi revealed the possible ending of Hunter x Hunter, citing he might not be able to see it through to the end. Hunter x Hunter fans had almost given up on getting more chapters after that. But Togashi’s recent tweet confirms that the Hunter x Hunter would indeed return with Chapter 401. The chapter may even be released this year or maybe in 2025. Neither Togashi nor his editor have spoken about the release of the chapter yet. While fans are hoping that the manga’s serialization would return to its original regular schedule, that might not be the case. Given Togashi’s health, Chapter 401 might be the sole chapter we get this year. However, after such a long hiatus, it’d be enough for the fans just to have Hunter x Hunter return.

Hunter x Hunter returns with Volume 37 following three-year hiatus YouTube: CrunchyrollThe official Weekly Shounen Jump Twitter account announced Hunter x Hunter manga returns on October 24, breaking the author’s three year long hiatus from the series. Hunter x Hunter is an iconic manga from the golden era of Shounen, created by Yoshihiro Togashi in 1998. The series received two very successful anime adaptations and has amassed a committed fan base. Though Hunter x Hunter is widely acclaimed, it suffers from one big weakness: the manga takes infamously long hiatuses. Delighting fans world wide, the official weekly Shounen Jump Twitter announced Hunter x Hunter manga will be making a return in 2022. Hunter X Hunter reveals return following three-year pause According to hunterpedia, the Hunter x Hunter manga has been on hiatus for over three years now, with it’s last update having occurred August 6, 2019. Over three years later, the Hunter x Hunter manga returns to Shounen Jump’s weekly publications. Roughly translated, Shounen Jump’s official Twitter account stated “the Serialization of ‘Hunter x Hunter’ resumes in ‘Weekly Shounen Jump’ no 47, releasing on October 24.” Since Yoshihiro Togashi works at his own pace, it’s difficult to predict the exact Hunter x Hunter manga schedule. It may release at a routine weekly schedule, or it may take multiple weeks or months between chapters. The return of the Hunter x Hunter manga is huge news. After all, if the manga progresses through the story enough, it may provide enough source material to warrant the continuation of the Hunter x Hunter anime – which was discontinued in 2014 after 148 episodes. It may take years before we see more of the anime, but it is worth keeping an eye on. If the Bleach anime can return years after it was discontinued, then so can the Hunter x Hunter anime.

Hyakushō Kizoku Season 2: Everything we know ShinshokanHiromu Arakawa’s manga Hyakusho Kizoku is getting a second season. Here’s what we know so far about Season 2 of the anime series. Slice-of-life comedy series Hyakusho Kizoku, originally serialized from December 2006 to March 2009 in Shinshokan’s magazine Un Poco, has exciting news for fans. Following its relatively successful debut season, it will return for Season 2. Set in a dairy farm, the series is inspired by author Hiromu Arakawa’s own experiences growing up in a farming community in Hokkaido. With 4.1 million copies currently in circulation and the eighth volume scheduled for release on December 20, 2023, fans can look forward to more heartwarming moments from this feel-good comedy anime in the future. So, following the announcement of the series Season 2, here’s what you need to know about Hyakushō Kizoku. Hyakushō Kizoku renewed for Season 2 On December 18, it was announced that Hyakushō Kizoku would return for its second season. At present, this is all the information we have about Hyakushō Kizoku (also known in English as The Peasant Noble) Season 2. However, the first season premiered on Tokyo MX on July 7. It had 12 episodes and each was roughly four minutes long. Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet, we can expect Season 2 to follow the same format. Hyakushō Kizoku plot We don’t have the details on the plot for Hyakushō Kizoku Season 2 yet. However, given that Season 1 depicted Arakawa’s life as a farmer in Hokkaido for seven years after graduating from agricultural school and before becoming a manga artist, it’s likely that Season 2 will continue in the same vein. Hailing from a multigenerational farming family, er time working on her family farm also influenced her work on her popular Silver Spoon manga, a slice-of-life series about students at an agricultural school.

Hunter x Hunter Chapters 402 & 403 are finally “completed”, creator teases CrunchyrollHunter x Hunter is inching closer and closer to a full-on return, with more than one chapter in the bag according to creator Yoshihiro Togashi. Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 has become one of the most-anticipated manga releases of modern times. Yoshihiro’s ongoing health issues have caused increasingly large gaps between output, with the current break lasting over 18 months. But that might come to an end soon. Regular teases have indicated that Yoshihiro’s got a whole block of chapters ready to go, and now two more of them are apparently off to be edited and printed. Chapters 402 and 403 are in the bag, according to recent posts from Yoshihiro. “No.402, final edits in progress,” says the first tweet followed by: “No 402 completed.” Then another two images, this time showing an envelope for editorial use and a character portrait, state the same for Chapter 403. Without overstating things here, it sounds like 402 and 403 are locked and just need to be scheduled up for distribution. Yoshihiro returned to social media after a prolong absence this year to show that he’s managed to start working on the iconic manga again. Suffering from back problems, he generally can’t work unless lying down, a difficult position to illustrate from. But it seems he’s found a way, at least for now. Though excited, fans have been supportive and understanding about the difficulties. “Mr. Togashi is working really hard,” reads one reply. “Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Togashi,” says another. We still can’t say for certain when these new chapters will come to light, but Hunter x Hunter Volume 38 was recently dated for later this year. Chapters tend to follow new volumes after a break or hiatus. For now, we can take comfort in the fact Yoshihiro is content. Check out our guides on My Hero Academia Chapter 429, One Piece Chapter 1122, and Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 264 for more major manga.

Hunter x Hunter creator’s health has “deteriorated” according to worrying update VizHunter x Hunter is coming back soon, but recent updates from creator Yoshihiro Togashi have fans asking for another hiatus. The wait for Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 comes to an end in October, almost two years since Chapter 400 dropped. The delay has been for good reason, as Yoshihiro has been up against some increasingly severe health problems involving his back that have prevented him from working on the manga. This year, he’s managed to get back on track, producing several chapters for publication, as well as working on storyboards for the anime show. But his latest comments suggest he needs another period of rest. “Thanks to you, I was able to hand over the color manuscript to the editor. Your kind words of encouragement and concern have given me strength. Thank you very much,” he said in a tweet. “My back has really deteriorated.” He’s referencing the response to a previous post, where he mentioned his back and spine felt like “Jenga”, and questioned what would happen first: his manuscripts would be collected or he’d collapse, ending with “low back pain high”. Needless to say, his followers were incredibly concerned. Thankfully, it seems the outpouring of support left an impact, helping to sustain him until the work he’d finished was picked up for publishing. Now, people would really like him to rest before returning to the adventures of Gon Freecss. “Please take care of yourself. I grew up watching Yu Yu Hakusho, and now I’m a complete old lady. I’d like to continue supporting you for a long time to come,” one fan commented on his post. “First of all, health comes first.” It’s a sentiment echoed many times over. “Your strength and determination to continue creating is a great encouragement to all of us. Please take care of yourself, and I pray for a speedy recovery,” another says. “Thank you for your hard work! Please take a rest…” adds a third. Togashi banked over a dozen chapters during this burst of creativity, so we have plenty of storytelling to look forward to. That said, his health matters above all else, and we hope he gets the rest and recuperation he needs. Check out our list of upcoming anime for franchises to focus on otherwise.

Hunter X Hunter creator confirms popular manga officially off years-long hiatus PierrotHunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi has confirmed that his beloved manga will finally continue after a years-long hiatus left fans with little hope of a continuation. On May 23, Togashi seemingly joined Twitter with an inaugural post teasing the progress he’s made on upcoming HxH chapters for the manga. During its popular run, the show’s fandom grew even more with the follow-up anime. “Four more episodes for the time being,” Togashi said in a translated tweet. The news was met with immediate skepticism from longtime fans and onlookers who noticed the new Twitter account had a strange handle. The HxH creator’s Twitter account has gained nearly 1 million followers in less than 24 hours since making its debut announcement. Togashi teases Hunter x Hunter continuation Shortly after, big names from the industry chimed in to assuage concerned fans by asserting they know Togashi and can confirm he’s well on his way to finishing Gon and Killua’s story. One-Punch Man illustrator Yusuke Murata and Dr. STONE author Riichiro Inagaki retweeted and seemed to confirm that the account was, indeed, owned by Togashi. In response to the news, the Japanese voice actresses for Gon and Killua each posted a picture of the characters they play, happy to hear that more chapters of the story could be on the way. Ever since late 2018, Hunter x Hunter fans have been itching for progress on the manga to come off hiatus. It’s been a long time coming, but it appears as though the wait might finally be over soon. Hunter x Hunter follows the story of young Gon Freecs striving to become a licensed Hunter with friends he meets along the way, Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika, and Leorio Paladiknight. The relationships between them were infectious and the story captured fans for years even in its absence. Now, Hunter x Hunter fans are looking forward to one day finishing the tale to bookend a legendary manga.

Hunter x Hunter creator teases up to Chapter 411 with beautiful character sketches Yoshihiro Togashi/MadhouseHunter x Hunter is returning soon as the creator confirms working up to Chapter 411 and gives glimpses of his beautiful character illustrations. The beloved shonen manga Hunter x Hunter is on its way to its much-anticipated comeback. Written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi, the last chapter of the manga, Chapter 400, was released back in 2022. Ever since then, the story has been on an indefinite hiatus. Due to health issues, Togashi was unable to keep working on the series. This, in turn, left the future of Hunter x Hunter in darkness. After more than a year of no news, fans were convinced that the manga would stay unfinished. The series’ continuation faced a big question when Togashi revealed the possible ending of Hunter x Hunter in 2023, in case he never managed to finish it. This came after his tweet revealing him to be working on Chapter 401, so, this was a huge blow to the fandom. But 2024 is proving to be a good year for Hunter x Hunter. It seems that the author is now in a better condition and has been steadily working on his manga. He regularly posts his progress on X to keep his fans updated. So far the mangaka has apparently finished drawing up to Chapter 411. Though we don’t know the full status of the new chapters, this progress still suggests that the manga’s return may be sooner than later, especially since the author just revealed to have finished adding dialogue in Chapter 406. He’s also been keeping his fans hyped by posting many of his character illustrations. So far the author has given Hunter x Hunter fans little peeks at his sketches of popular characters Gon, Killua, and Biscuit among others. Characters from his other hit manga Yu Yu Hakusho have also found their way into his posts. Though Huntur x Hunter’s return is still pretty far away with no official announcement yet, fans still have high hopes for this beloved manga. One Reddit user commented, “Always exciting to see updates from Togashi!” Another wrote, “Took 2 whole days to complete the dialogue of Chapter 406. We’re about to read a novel in that chapter and I’m all here for it!”, while a third added on X, “Togashi, you’re the best.” The hype for Hunter x Hunter is pretty high and it’s about to go even higher as its return draws closer. But until there is any official release dates announced, you can keep yourself entertained with other ongoing shonen manga like One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and My Hero Academia.

Hunter x Hunter creator Togashi keeps teasing imminent return CrunchyrollHunter x Hunter is getting closer and closer to coming back, as creator Yoshihiro Togashi continues to tease what’s looking increasingly like a finished chapter. Hunter x Hunter has been on indefinite hiatus since late 2022, when Chapter 400 was released. Due to ongoing health issues, Yoshihiro has struggled to maintain a regular schedule with ongoing chapters, posting sporadic updates on what’s happening. Until recently, that is. Since May 1, 2024, Yoshihiro has posted six teases of his progress on Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401. These have all included the same thing: number pages of gridded paper for manga, implying that he’s getting things done. Going from his latest post, on May 6, 2024 at time of writing, 17 pages of Gon and his friends are ready to go. No release window has been provided for the upcoming chapter of Hunter x Hunter, but fans are devouring the more routine updates. The replies are full of celebratory memes, as people feel the relief at getting more of the treasured story. Ultimately, hearing from Yoshihiro is enough at present, given his condition. Hunter x Hunter has enjoyed considerable acclaim over the years. Two anime shows have been made from the story, the second, premiering in 2011, being one of the best anime ever. Although we’re almost certainly getting more manga soon, a return in the anime is probably unlikely. The last season ended neatly in 2019, concluding an eight-year run at that point. But who knows – if you’d asked me a year ago if we’d get any more Hunter x Hunter at all, I’d have been skeptical. Check out our guides to My Hero Academia in order and Demon Slayer in order if you want to dig into more expansive franchises.

Hunter x Hunter announces volume 38 release date Yoshihiro Togashi/MadhouseHunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi is working on the manga after a long hiatus, and the volume 38 release date has finally been revealed. Hunter x Hunter is by far one of the best anime and manga in history. However, the series often goes into hiatuses due to the mangaka’s poor health. Right now, we’re in the middle of the ongoing Succession Contest Arc, which introduced 14 princes of the Kakin Empire. They are supposed to kill each other off in a gruesome battle as the Black Whale sets sail for the Dark Continent. The arc will continue in Chapter 401 but before that, the manga announces the release date of a new volume. While we continue to wait, the manga will release a new volume on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. It will include chapters 390 to 400, which have been released before. The most recent chapter was released in December 2022 before going on another hiatus due to Togashi’s health. However, currently, the mangaka has worked on at least 16 chapters and he has been sharing updates on Twitter/X. The manga is expected to return to its usual serialization, likely on Shonen Jump. According to a leaker, “Hunter x Hunter volume 38 in September. If this follows the pattern of volume 37 release and if they haven’t moved HxH from Jump, the manga should be back on issues 38-41.” One fan shares, “I prayed for times like this.” “Prayers Togashi stays healthy and can keep doing what he loves,” shares another. Another fan also states, “As expected, some don’t know it’s just the 10 chapters that he did some years back. This happens every time smh It’s this and anime-only fans saying they should bring the anime back just to cover the Chrollo fight.” Check out our guides on Oshi no Ko Season 2, Tower of God Season 2, and Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest for other franchises to watch now.

Hunter X Hunter author reveals manga’s ending for heartbreaking reason NetflixHunter X Hunter manga has been on several hiatuses occasionally because of the authors’ health conditions. In a recent interview, Togashi broke his silence, and honestly, the latest announcement didn’t come as good news for the fandom. Hunter X Hunter is a popular manga series that has been running since 1998, but its release schedule has not been consistent since 2006. That’s because Yoshihiro Togashi’s health started deteriorating. Despite the manga going on several breaks, there is no denying that the loyal fanbase hasn’t lost interest. The renowned series has entertained us for a long time and continues to do the same. However, seeing his health condition getting worse, Togashi came up with a few ending ideas that he revealed in his latest interview. Even though the official interview will be released on November 21, 2023, the leaks have already emerged on social media, and here’s everything you should know about it. Togashi reveals Hunter X Hunter’s ending in case he passes away Togashi has devised three different endings for Hunter X Hunter: A, B, and C. The author stated that the first ending will be liked by 50% of the fandom and disliked by 20%. According to him, this is not the most satisfactory rating, but he will be relieved if his work reaches up to this level. Concept B will see the likers and the dislikers divided equally, C will see the majority of fans showing disappointment while only 10% will be satisfied with it. Interestingly, this is not it, as there is a twist in the story. Togashi wants a chance where he does not have to choose any of the aforementioned scenarios, so he has also worked on an additional ending, D, that he has already discarded. But he eagerly wants the series to get this ending if he meets his dark fate before giving a proper conclusion to the story. Well, Togashi didn’t talk about the A, B, and C concepts in detail, but surprisingly, he revealed the plot of the discarded one. Since the author won’t use the D ending, there’s no risk of spoiling the story for the fandom by revealing it. So, here’s the story: A girl is standing near a lake, and she is looking to hunt the Lake Lord. She is none other than the granddaughter of our beloved Gon. After lifting the Lake Lord on her shoulders, she asks her mother to stop pressurizing her to become a hunter. Her mom turns to her father, saying that Jin currently wants to be there with them and never leave the island, but she is sure that her mindset will be changed one day. The ending will also see Gon as a strong hunter, and we will also be able to meet some of the new faces.

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401: Release date and everything else we know CrunchyrollHunter x Hunter has been on hiatus for almost two years, but it looks like the manga might return soon. Here’s all the info on Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401. Created by Yoshihiro Togashi, Hunter x Hunter truly hit the ground running in the late ’90s. The extended adventures of young treasure hunter Gon Freecss was quickly adapted not once, but twice, the second being one of the best anime ever. The manga has actually outlasted both adaptations, stretching into no less than 400 chapters so far, with much more on the horizon. However, some personal issues for Yoshihiro has caused delays and an indefinite hiatus for the franchise. Increasingly, though, it seems one of the best shonen series could come back, and soon. Like Gon, we’ve done some questing, and we have some trinkets you might like. Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 release date Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 comes out on October 7, 2024 in Weekly Shonen Jump. We even got a teaser for Gon’s momentous return to the magazine. The chapter was confirmed by Yoshihiro Togashi in March 2023. The mangaka shared an image on Twitter, featuring 19 finished pages, with the caption, “No. 401 completed. The production structure has not yet been finalized, I’m happy just to see my desk work time gradually increasing.” Yoshihiro has been suffering back health problems for a number of years, drastically slowing down his ability to continue making Hunter x Hunter. He spoke about the issues in a statement regarding an exhibit dedicated to his work in 2022. “I was unable to sit in a chair for two years, which made me unable to draw, but by throwing conventional methods to the wayside, I’ve been able to resume drawing somehow,” he stated. At the time, he could only illustrate laying down, a tricky position for any artist. Recently, though, he’s managed to create more pages, teasing several more chapters on Twitter. It seems the release schedule has now been ironed out for when we can see what’s next. Honestly, it’s just nice that Yoshihiro appears to be managing the pain — we wish him continued recovery and respite. What will happen in Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401? Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 will continue the Succession Contest Arc, a storyline which began in Chapter 349. Members of the Hunters Association and the Zodiacs, and King Nasubi’s children, are on the Black Whale heading toward the Dark Continent. Nasubi’s relatives are in a battle for survival, to decide his heir. The Hunters are joining Beyond on his expedition to the Dark Continent, and Kurapika, a Zodiac, forges an alliance with Prince Tubeppa. To what end? That’s something we’ll be finding out together. The indefinite hiatus has been frustrating because it started mid-arc, leaving readers in limbo about what’s going to happen. Creating a backlog of chapters means we’ll at least see this arc finished before Yoshinori takes another break. Is Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 the end of the manga? No, Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 isn’t the end of the manga. Yoshihiro has confirmed up to Chapter 418 on Twitter, using images of completed pages. It seems that, given the delay from Chapter 400, Yoshihiro and his publisher probably want to create runway so Hunter x Hunter fans have a considerable amount of story to enjoy. Building up chapters and then spacing them out could create some sort of routine that allows Yoshihiro to draw more in the meantime. Where can you read Hunter x Hunter? You can read Hunter x Hunter on Shonen Jump+. As of now, you can find all 400 chapters so far on the app, and it’ll be where new chapters become available as they are released. If you prefer physical manga, the first 37 volumes of Hunter x Hunter are available on Amazon. So far, the volumes only reach to Chapter 390, so you might still need to make use of the app to get right up to date. Those are all the details we have on Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401. If you’d like to learn about some other franchises, we have guides to Berserk Chapter 377, One Punch Man Season 3, Solo Leveling Season 2, and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3.

Hunter x Hunter fans celebrate 1999 version that made Killua “scary” CrunchyrollWe’re coming up on the 25th anniversary of the first time Hunter x Hunter was adapted for screens, and fans are reminiscing about ways the 1999 show did the manga justice. Besides the ongoing manga, Hunter x Hunter has given us not one but two of the best anime ever. The 2011 series is the one people are most familiar with, lasting over 100 episodes and counting. Some time before that in 1999, Hunter x Hunter was made into a short-lived anime show. Much of the same charm still exists in the story and character, but the ’90s version was a bit darker and more atmospheric, something fans now miss. In a Reddit thread, a fan celebrates the scene where Killua rips Johness the Dissector’s heart out instantaneously. Yes, Gon’s best friend kills someone by reaching into their chest and removing their still-beating organ. Everyone looks on in shock, except Gon, who seems proud of what his pal has achieved. In the comments, people reveal they enjoyed the classic adaptation because of scenes like this. “The atmosphere and aesthetic for Hunter x Hunter 1999 in general was sick. Loved the adaptation for the Phantom Troupe arc here too. So good,” one user writes. “Best part is that later he mentions that his dad could do it without spilling any blood,” another adds. “I still prefer the 1999 version, because I like the way they paired Kurapika and Leorio. It’s all gone in the latest version,” a third comment states. Unfortunately, the ’99 show is largely gone. You can’t buy it on home media or stream it anywhere. The production has been subsumed by the 2011 iteration of Yoshihiro Togashi’s beloved manga. For the future of Hunter x Hunter, we have a guide on Chapter 401 to get you up to speed on what’s happening. Check out our guides on Oshi no Ko Season 2, Tower of God Season 2, and Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest for other franchises to watch right this second.

Hunter x Hunter fans are convinced the anime is never coming back CrunchyrollWe’re coming up on a decade since the last arc of the Hunter x Hunter anime concluded, and although we’ve had hints to the contrary, fans are starting to think the franchise is done. There have been two Hunter x Hunter anime shows made so far, which should serve as an indication of the manga’s popularity over the years. Created by Yoshihiro Togashi, the ongoing story follows Gon Freecss, a young boy who’s inspired by his absentee father to become someone who finds mythical treasure. Like many great anime, the real treasure turns out to be the friends made along the way, as Gon encounters a vibrant cast of characters and incredible locations in his quest. The manga has slowed significantly due to Togashi’s waning health, and the last episode arrived in Japan in September 2014. New episodes have been teased, but fans aren’t getting their hopes up. Hunter x Hunter fans don’t believe season 7 will ever come out On a Reddit thread about possible anime sequels that would shock you, fans were quick to give Hunter x Hunter as an answer. While there’s enough material in the manga for another season, Togashi’s health suggests it won’t come together any time soon. “Hunter x Hunter getting ANYTHING new would blow my mind seeing how the author makes one chapter every ten years,” says one user. Another offers that we should be glad it doesn’t, since then we’d have a cliffhanger in the anime and manga: “The issue would be there isn’t really a clean place to end the anime again. It would just be one giant tease of what would be coming but is probably never coming.” In 2020, Togashi tweeted about working on four more episodes. We’ve had some work-in-progress images since, but nothing has materialized. Given he has some chronic back problems, he has more important things to worry about than Gon’s misadventures. Alas, the ending of Hunter x Hunter is a beautiful one, with Gon and his father reconciling, and us bidding a fond farewell to all his pals. Sometimes it’s best to let a sleeping story lie, and this feels like a strong case for that. If you’re eager for more recommendations, we have lists of the best anime movies on Netflix and the best anime shows like Jujutsu Kaisen.

How to watch One Piece without filler Toei AnimationKeeping up with One Piece can be more daunting than taking on Queen Anne’s Revenge. Here’s how you can watch this colossal series without the filler. Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is one of the longest running anime series ever. First appearing as a manga back in 1997 – and receiving an anime adaptation in 1999 – the series is still airing with new chapters and episodes to this day. With over 1000 episodes to watch, getting through One Piece is a daunting task even for the most dedicated fan. But it doesn’t have to be. To make things easier, we’ve made this guide so that you can watch the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates from start to end, but without all the unnecessary filler episodes. How to watch One Piece without filler If you’re looking for an anime you can binge watch in a day, a week, or even a month, then this isn’t the series for you. However, if you’re trying to catch up to the hardcore One Piece fans who’ve watched this show since it first debuted, well, there’s an easy way to do it. Watch the series without filler. 1. Skip the movies First of all, if you’re in a time-crunch, feel free to skip the One Piece movies. Many of these are simply retellings of certain arcs and others are side stories that expand the Straw Hats’ adventures (but have no impact on the storyline itself). Therefore, you can cross the following off your watch list: One Piece – Clockwork Island Adventure – Chopper’s Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals – The Cursed Holy Sword – The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle – The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta – Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura – One Piece 3D: Straw Hat Chase – Once you’ve watched all of One Piece without the filler, you can go back and watch these films to experience the magic of the series over and over again. 2. Skip the filler episodes One Piece has 1000 episodes and counting, 32 arcs (to date) and 13 seasons (so far). However, this number can be dramatically reduced if you skip the episodes that aren’t canon. Of course, this won’t help you binge-watch One Piece in one go. But, it can help you get from start to end a little bit quicker. So, here are the episodes you can skip (thanks to Anime Filler List): 54-60 – 98-99 – 102 – 131-143 – 196-206 – 220-226 – 279-283 – 291-292 – 303 – 317-319 – 326-336 – 382-384 – 406-407 – 426-429 – 457-458 – 492 – 542 – 575-578 – 590 – 626-627 – 747-750 – 780-782 – 895-896 – 907 – 1029-1030 – Our list of filler episodes looks extensive. However, it’s not as extensive as the series is itself. So, if you don’t mind missing out on hilarious side quests, then you’ll be able to get from start to end in no time. 3. Skip the intros and outros One Piece is famous for its top tier intros and outros. With catchy theme songs and various animation sequences, the intros and outros only last a few minutes. But, if you’re in a time crunch, one of the best ways to cut down on your watch time is to simply skip the intros and the outros. After all, if you’re watching them for over 1000 episodes, those minutes really add up. The total run time of One Piece, if you count the canon and filler episodes – as well as films – is over 500 hours hours. Which adds up to almost an entire month. If you opt to watch it without the filler episodes, intros and outros, you can cut this time down to just over 300 hours, or 12 days. Which sounds a whole lot more reasonable. You can watch all episodes of the original One Piece on Crunchyroll, and the live-action version on Netflix.

How to watch I Want To Eat Your Pancreas – is it streaming on Netflix? AniplexI Want to Eat Your Pancreas is a great anime movie with a very odd title, but when and where can you watch it? I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is the film everyone is searching right now for streaming. Despite it’s odd title, the film is considered extremely well done, and is currently sitting at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. The official plot is as follows: “An aloof boy comes across a book in a hospital waiting room. He soon discovers that it is a diary kept by his very popular classmate who reveals to him that she is secretly suffering from a fatal pancreatic illness.” Many people are hoping that the film is on Netflix, but is it? And are there any other alternatives to watch it? Let us explain… Is I Want to Eat Your Pancreas on Netflix? At the time of writing, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is available on Netflix in some territories, but not in America, Canada, or the UK. This situation could obviously be subject to change, but Aniplex – the company responsible for the film – rarely makes changes to the way it distributes material. So right now, if you’re in any of those stated countries, watching the film will require you to go elsewhere. When and where can I watch I Want to Eat Your Pancreas? Right now, unfortunately I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is unavailable for streaming other than Netflix in specific countries. That means that if you want the film, you have to purchase it. You can either get a physical copy of the film on Blu-ray or DVD via Rightstuf, or you can purchase the film digitally via iTunes. The movie actually did play US in theatres for a brief time back in 2019, notably at the Animation Is Film Festival in Los Angeles.

CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is officially debuting the highly-anticipated Shibuya arc tomorrow – so here’s how and what time you can watch it. After a three-week-long hiatus, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is returning with new episodes covering the Shibuya Incident arc from the manga. The most tragic arc of the series will be featured in 18 episodes. Jujutsu Kaisen dropped a new trailer and key visual last week, revealing the upcoming arc’s first look. Fans are in for a roller coaster of emotions, as the trailer features the intensity of the battles going on in Shibuya. With better animation, new character design, and a hardcore soundtrack, Jujutsu Kaisen will be better than ever in its upcoming episodes. Here’s how and when you can watch Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Shibuya arc. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Shibuya arc release date and time Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 6 will release on August 31 at 12:00am JST. The anime took a three-week break before commencing the highly-anticipated Shibuya Incident arc. MAPPA made the decision to gear up for the new arc as they want to deliver the best results to JJK fans. The episode will be available to stream across various time zones as soon as it’s released in Japan. You can find your time zone below: 8:00am PT – 9:00am MST – 10:00am CT – 11:00am EST – 4:00pm BST – 5:00pm European Time – 8:30pm IST – Where to watch Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Shibuya arc The upcoming episodes will be officially available on Crunchyroll and Netflix at the same time. However, we do recommend anime enthusiasts to stream the series on Crunchyroll. While both are top streaming platforms, Crunchyroll subs are more faithful to the original source. On the other hand, Netflix subs often change dialogues. Last month, Netflix changed Gojo’s “honored one” scene as fans pointed out their disappointment toward the streaming giant ruining such an important moment. There have been several more notable changes apart from Gojo’s iconic scene. The trailer for the Shibuya arc Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’s Shibuya arc trailer begins with Pseudo-Geto, who reveals his plans for cornering Gojo in Shibuya. Since the new season has a completely different art style than before, fans also get to see the new character designs. It also features the opening theme, ‘SPECIALZ,’ performed by King Gnu. The J-pop group is already popular within the fandom for their two songs in the prequel movies. The song matches perfectly with the intensity of the arc as Shibuya becomes a warzone.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, the romantic-comedy Crunchyroll anime series based on the manga by Aka Akasaka, may be creeping ever closer to its conclusion, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not more new material for fans to enjoy. Kaguya-sama: Love is War has just finished its third season, with a fourth season on its way. But this week, a movie has now arrived: Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends, which is set to continue the story of the warring and loving elite students. But where can you watch the film? And what it is about? Well, let us explain… When and where can I watch Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends? Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends will be premiering in select North American cinemas on February 14 and 15 for a special Valentine’s Day Event. In terms of what time the films will be available for viewing, that will depend on the cinema. Fans in the United States and Canada can purchase tickets at Fandango for the English-subtitled release. The Valentine’s Day event is no doubt leaning on the romantic aspect of the series, however the actual film will be set around Christmas time, meaning we could have another animated Christmas classic on the way. What is the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War movie about? The First Kiss that Never Ends’ synopsis is as thus: “Shuchi Academy student council room, the place where student council vice president Kaguya Shinomiya and president Miyuki Shirogane met. After a long Battle in love, these two geniuses communicated their feelings and, at the Hoshin Festival, had their very first kiss. However, there was no clear confession. “The relationship between these two, who assumed they would be a couple, remains ambiguous. Now, overly conscious of their feelings, they must face the biggest challenge yet: Christmas. It’s Shirogane who wants it to be perfect versus Kaguya who pursues the imperfect situation. This is the very “normal” love story of two geniuses and the first kiss that never ends.” This film will continue the story of the manga it is based on, which was first published in Shueisha’s Miracle Jump magazine in May 2015. The manga has been a hit amongst readers, with an excess of 19 million copies in circulation, and an even more popular anime adaptation coming from it, produced by A-1 Pictures. The film, titled in Japanese as Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: First Kiss wa Owaranai, was hinted at during the hour-long final episode of the anime’s third season, where a fourth season was also hinted at. Will The First Kiss That Never Ends be available on Crunchyroll? Yes, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends will eventually premiere on Crunchyroll along with the anime. However, there is no release date as of yet. We will update this section when we find out more. Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Seasons 1-3 are currently available to stream on Crunchyroll.

Joining him on this journey are Tobio Kageyama, his rival-turned-partner, and the rest of the Karasuno team. If you haven’t watched this beloved anime show yet but are planning to, you can count on us to guide you through the journey. So, without further ado, let’s find out how to go about watching Haikyuu!! in order for the best viewing experience. How to watch Haikyuu!! in order There are four seasons and one movie to watch. You should start with Haikyuu!! and end with Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle. Here’s the full rundown: Haikyuu!! – OVA 1: The Arrival of Lev Haiba – Haikyuu!! 2nd Season Episodes 1 – 3 – OVA 2: VS Failing Grades – Haikyuu!! 2nd Season Episodes 4 – 25 – Haikyuu!! 3rd Season – OVA 3: Special Feature! Betting on the Spring High Volleyball – OVA 3: Land VS Air – OVA 4: The Path of the Ball – Haikyuu!! To the Top – Haikyuu!! To the Top Part 2 – Haikyuu!!: The Dumpster Battle – Haikyuu!! The first season of Haikyuu!! starts with Hinata watching Little Giant play onscreen and becoming intrigued with indoor volleyball. The rest of the season consists of his first meeting with Kageyama and eventually getting into Karasuno. This season is 25 episodes long and adapts two arcs from the Haikyuu!! manga — the Karasuno High Team Formation Arc and the Interhigh Arc. Full of exciting matches, Season 1 also introduces major characters like Oikawa, Kenma, and Aone. OVA 1: The Arrival of Lev Haiba The Arrival of Lev Haiba is the first Haikyuu!! OVA and chronologically falls between Seasons 1 and 2. However, it’s not adapted from the manga, making it the sole anime-only OVA in the franchise. What’s more, it follows the members of Nekoma instead of Karasuno. The story focuses on the Nekoma volleyball team as they welcome a new member: the freakishly tall Russian student Lev, who aspires to become the ace. Since it doesn’t feature anything crucial, the OVA is not a must-watch to understand the series. Haikyuu!! 2nd Season Episodes 1 – 3 If you decide to skip the first OVA, then come right to Haikyuu!! Season 2. The second season picks up right where the first left off. After their stint in the Interhigh tournament, Karasuno is now looking forward to a training camp in Tokyo. However, there appears to be a big obstacle in their path and it’s not another team. Instead, it’s what most of them are afraid of — grades. The boys, particularly the weird duo, Tanaka, and Nishinoya, must pass their exams to go to the Tokyo training camp with the team. OVA 2: VS Failing Grades Before you continue with Haikyuu!! Season 2, you could make a stop after Episode 3. This is where you’ll get a funnier look at how Karasuno’s resident troublemakers try to pass their exams. VS Failing Grades is absolutely hilarious. The boys’ shenanigans as well as the others’ exasperation with trying to get them to get the bare minimum marks are a treat to watch. But it also doesn’t add anything to the story, so you can ignore this one. Haikyuu!! 2nd Season Episodes 4 – 25 This is where things get interesting. As Hinata and Kageyama find their way into the Tokyo Training Camp, they’re faced with the blind spots in their dynamic. To get stronger, they must adapt, but that’s easier said than done. Like the first season, Haikyuu!! 2nd Season also has 25 episodes. This season covers the Tokyo Expedition Arc and most of the Spring High Preliminary Arc. Be prepared for more exciting matches and more loveable new characters like Bokuto, Akaashi, and Yachi. Haikyuu!! 3rd Season The third season is where Haikyuu!! breaks its pattern. Instead of multiple arcs, Season 3 is set during only one match: the Spring High preliminary final between Karasuno and Shiratorizawa. It’s also the shortest season with only 10 episodes. However, these 10 episodes are some of the best in the franchise. Karasuno vs. Shiratorizawa is a match you cannot miss. Not only does the match get the winner to the Nationals, but this is also where the team faces their strongest opponent so far: Ushijima. OVA 3: Special Feature! Betting on the Spring High Volleyball This is the third OVA of the Haikyuu!! franchise and pretty much gives a recap of the Spring tournament preliminaries. It follows a news broadcast where the hosts discuss the various teams of the tournament. Unlike the other OVAs, it’s not particularly fun and doesn’t add anything to the series. So, you can just skip this one. OVA 4: Land VS Air The fourth OVA of the franchise, Land VS Air is chronologically set after Season 3. While Karasuno fights for its ticket to the Nationals in the third season, the OVA shows what happens to the Tokyo teams. Land VS Air focuses on Nekoma’s match against Fukurodani. It’s a very exciting match, given that best friends Kuroo and Bokuto clash against each other. Not to mention, one team is a master of ground defense while the other excels in aerial attacks. OVA: The Path of the Ball This instalment follows Nekoma’s match against Nohebi after they lose to Fukurodani. Thus, things are tense for them as this is their last chance to go to the Nationals and face Karasuno for their long-awaited match. If you’re not interested in teams other than Karasuno, then you can skip this one, too. However, unlike the first three OVAs, the last two add a lot of value to the story. Not only do they give us a peek at how other teams work but they also show great development for some characters. Haikyuu!! To the Top Up next is Season 4, titled Haikyuu!! To the Top. This season is broken into two parts; the first one shows Kageyama’s time at the National Youth Camp and Hinata’s as a ballboy at Shiratorizawa’s first-year training camp. You’ll notice that the animation and art style are different in this season. It takes a while to get used to, but you’ll eventually come around to it. The first part of Season 4 has 13 episodes and ends before Karasuno’s match against Inarizaki. Haikyuu!! To the Top Part 2 Haikyuu!! Season 4 Part 2 is a direct continuation of Part 1. It has 12 episodes, which makes Season 4 25 episodes long, similar to Seasons 1 and 2. Part 2 is set during the Karasuno vs. Inarizaki match; one of the most exciting matches in the series, given that the opponent team has a setter as good as Kageyama. Not just that, soon after the match starts, the Miya twins shock everyone by replicating Hinata and Kageyama’s signature minus-tempo attack. And Karasuno soon realizes the Nationals are going to be a lot more difficult than they thought. Haikyuu!!: The Dumpster Battle The new movie, Haikyuu!!: The Dumpster Battle, follows Karasuno’s journey after they defeat Inarizaki in Season 4. Now, their long-held wish is coming true as they’ll fight their fated opponent on the orange court. The 85-minute-long movie focuses on the much-anticipated Karasuno vs. Nekoma match. The movie is as brilliant as everyone expected it to be. And though it ignores two of the franchise’s best characters, it still manages the high standard the franchise has set. Haikyuu!! Final Part 2 This will be the last Haikyuu movie and will act as the finale for the franchise. It’s set to be a direct continuation of The Dumpster Battle and show Karasuno’s match against Kamomedai in the quarterfinals of the Nationals. This match is teased in the post-credit scene of The Dumpster Battle. However, no release window of the untitled movie has been announced yet. But given the box office success of its prequel, new announcements might come soon. How many Haikyuu!! episodes are there? Haikyuu!! has 85 episodes in total so far. Seasons 1, 2, and 4 have 25 episodes each, and Season 3 has only 10 episodes. Given that the series hasn’t been renewed for Season 5 and will end with another movie, this is the final episode count for the franchise. Along with these episodes, the franchise also has five OVAs and one sequel movie, with another one on the way. Does Haikyuu!! have any filler? One of the best parts about Haikyuu!! is that the entire series is adapted from the manga, so, there’s no filler. Some scenes are altered during the translation from page to screen, but the overall content is the same. So, you can get into the series with no fear of wasting time on filler episodes. How many Haikyuu!! movies are there? At present, Haikyuu!! has five movies in total, sort of: The End and the Beginning, The Winner and the Loser, Talent and Sense, Battle of Concepts, and The Dumpster Battle. Out of these, the first four are compilation movies, meaning they’re technically just bits from the previous seasons. Movie 1, The End and the Beginning, is a compilation of Season 1’s first part, starting at the beginning and ending after Karasuno’s first practice match against Nekoma. Movie 2 shows the boys’ Interhigh journey, particularly their matches against Date Tech and Seijoh respectively. The third compilation film, Talent and Sense, gives a recap of Season 2. The movie’s name comes from Karasuno’s climactic match against Seijoh in the Spring tournament, where Oikawa’s sense battles against Kageyama’s talent. And Movie 4 revises the Karsuno vs. Shiratorizawa match. Since they are all recaps of the series, you can ignore these movies entirely, and watch the episodes instead. The only movie that you must see is The Dumpster Battle as it’s a direct sequel to Season 4. Where can you watch Haikyuu!!? All episodes of Haikyuu!! are available on Crunchyroll and Netflix. As for the OVAs, you can watch them for free on Ani-One Asia’s official YouTube channel. However, Haikyuu!!: The Dumpster Battle isn’t available on any streaming platform yet. But you can watch the movie in theaters. For more on these volleyball boys, check out our explainer on Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle ending and our take on how Haikyuu!! paves the way for sports anime.

How to watch Dragon Ball — can you stream Akira Toriyama’s legendary anime? CrunchyrollAnime don’t come much more influential than Dragon Ball, the start of Akira Toriyama’s incredible franchise following Goku. But how can you watch the show? Before Dragon Ball Z defined anime for the entire world, we had Dragon Ball. A much more humble anime show, Dragon Ball introduced Goku as a plucky, monkey-tailed child with a propensity for kung fu and finding the eponymous orbs. He hung out with Bulma, a young woman who acted as his custodian, and his arch-enemy was a Namekian known as Piccolo. Before you watch Dragon Ball Z, you should consider giving the prequel a look. Comedic and more nonchalant it may be, Dragon Ball wonderfully sets the stage for what’s to come, demonstrating Toriyama’s incredible skills in world-building and character design. So, how can you stream Dragon Ball? What services can you watch it on if you’re in the US or Britain? Clearly, you’ve gathered the seven Dexerto Balls, so your wish is my command. Is Dragon Ball streaming? Yes, Dragon Ball is streaming, and you can watch the entire show on Crunchyroll in both the US and UK. This is actually a recent change, as the series only became available on the service in the UK in February 2024. Since then, all 153 episodes can be viewed for subscribers on either side of the Atlantic. A good thing, too, since availability before now has been spotty, so now everyone can catch up on Goku’s first adventures. Is Dragon Ball on Netflix? No, Dragon Ball isn’t on Netflix. Crunchyroll has streaming rights in the UK and US, while fans in the latter can also enjoy the series on Hulu. Though Netflix’s anime selection is strong and growing, the Dragon Ball franchise just isn’t something the company has managed to get. Maybe someday! Is Dragon Ball worth watching? Yes, Dragon Ball is worth watching, though it’s quite different to the shows that come after. It’s a much more grounded comedy than Dragon Ball Z, GT, or Super. Goku is just a strange boy with a monkey tail, going on misadventures with Bulma and occasionally doing some martial arts. There are no mentions of Saiyans or Frieza or anything of the sort. It’s a simpler kind of story from Akira Toriyama, but all the charm is still there. If you’d like more great viewing choices, our lists of the best anime like Solo Leveling and the best anime like Demon Slayer will provide just that.

How to watch Dragon Ball Z – is the anime show streaming? CrunchyrollDragon Ball Z is one of the most beloved anime ever, taking Akira Toriyama’s franchise to incredible heights in production and fandom. But how can you watch it? In the late ’90s, Dragon Ball Z introduced an entire generation to Shonen anime. It’s a strong entry point, given that it’s one of the best anime shows ever. A sequel to Dragon Ball, this one brings back the protagonist, Goku, as an adult, with a group of Z Fighters, who are dedicated to defending Earth. Easier said than done when you’ve got threats like Frieza and Cell among the Dragon Ball Z sagas. Where can you watch Dragon Ball Z these days? Is it streaming? You don’t need any Dragon Balls because you’re already in the right place for your answer! Is Dragon Ball Z streaming? Yes, Dragon Ball Z is streaming in the UK and US, where you can find the whole series on Crunchyroll. This is a recent development, with DBZ only joining Crunchyroll in the UK in March 2024. In fact, fans in Britain and Ireland couldn’t stream the show at all for a long time. They could only purchase digital copies or boxsets. Alas, Toriyama’s epic has finally come into the modern age and viewers both sides of the pond can enjoy for the price of a standard Crunchyroll subscription. Is Dragon Ball Z on Netflix? No, Dragon Ball Z isn’t on Netflix. Though Netflix’s anime selection has classics such as Cowboy Bebop and Gundam, Dragon Ball hasn’t been made available there. The only streaming service Dragon Ball Z is available on is Crunchyroll. Is Dragon Ball Z worth watching? Without a doubt, yes. Besides being one of the best Shonen anime, it’s easily one of the most influential and enduring. Dragon Ball Z helped establish anime in the mainstream in English-speaking territories, and it still holds up against the likes of My Hero Academia or Jujutsu Kaisen. Sure, some of the animation isn’t as tight and the storytelling is longwinded, but there’s so much charm to it, and the fights are awesome. If you haven’t seen when Gohan goes Super Saiyan 2 for the first time, let me tell you, it’s worth the wait. In fact, as you’re watching, keep an eye out for the best Dragon Ball Z fights and best Dragon Ball Z villains. There are plenty more beyond what we’ve chosen, too!
