Jujutsu Kaisen introduces a lot of new characters in the Culling Game Arc. One of them is Hagane Daido, who is the incarnation of an ancient master swordsman. Though he doesn\u2019t have a big role in the series, he does use his screen time to make a cool reference about Demon Slayer. In Chapter 195, while looking for katanas in modern-day Japan, Hagane finally stumbles upon a toy sword in a storeroom. The katana\u2019s hilt looks exactly like Tanjiro\u2019s Nichirin Blade and resembles the shape of Tanjiro unleashing his Water Breathing techniques. What\u2019s more, Hagane even announces: \u201cFirst Form!! Water Surface Splash!!\u201d Demon Slayer fans will recognize this technique as it\u2019s the first form of Water Breathing. And while the technique looks different than the shape of Hagane\u2019s katana, the reference is clear as day. The reason many fans didn\u2019t notice this small detail is that Hagane is a pretty unimportant character. But now that it\u2019s come to their attention, they\u2019re gushing about how awesome it is. \u201cThat\u2019s so cool! I never noticed because I read it before ever seeing Demon Slayer. I wonder how they\u2019ll adapt this in the anime. It\u2019ll probably be altered for legal reasons like Chainsaw Man\u2019s cameo in MHA,\u201d one fan wrote on Reddit. Another joined, \u201cWoah, that\u2019s so cool! I love JJK too. I\u2019m even more excited to read the manga once I finish season 2!\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s actually a real toy, I think. I\u2019ve seen one for Rengoku. It\u2019s a plastic sword with the elemental effect around it and you push a button to hear the recorded lines,\u201d shared a third. A fourth commented: \u201cI love how Gege references other series, it\u2019s so cool to see.\u201d Other than Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen has also referenced other popular series like One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. Hollywood celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Sebastian Stan have also found their way into Gege Akutami\u2019s manga.
