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: \u201cMr. 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\u2019m looking forward to the future of everyone involved!!\u201d 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: \u201cMy favorite actress is Emma Stone. I\u2019m 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\u2019ve shared so many ups and downs. It\u2019s just a small taste, but this is the fruit of our blood, sweat, and friendship so please enjoy. \u201cThank you to everyone for your hard work on Episode 44. It\u2019s so cool to have a hero who can make everyone feel positive again just by showing up, right? Tokuno-san\u2019s storyboard directing, super cool and feel-good cuts, composition, and frame processing were just the absolute best. \u201cI\u2019m 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.\u201d The young animator further shares his experience with other animators at MAPPA. \u201cI 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\u2019s replica,\u201d he said. \u201cTruthfully, it\u2019s 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. \u201cThere 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\u2019s become one of my favorite episodes. Sorry this note became so long\u2026 I\u2019ll be rooting for everyone for the last three episodes!\u201d How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023 Crunchyroll is the world\u2019s best hub for streaming anime, whether it\u2019s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen \u2013 and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform\u2019s full library even if you\u2019re outside the US.
