The Man You Shouldn't Have Angered: Kento Nanami from "Jujutsu Kaisen" is Overwhelmingly Cool When He Loses His Temper

Kento Nanami (CV: Kenjiro Tsuda) rarely shows his emotions, but he was visibly enraged when his comrades were harmed. In the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen," the scene where an enraged Nanami quietly corners his enemy was hailed as "truly cool" by fans, who praised the unstoppable aura he exuded.

Nanami, a first-grade jujutsu sorcerer, is usually cool and aloof, but he possesses a strong sense of responsibility, justice, and empathy. In episode 36, Nanami was attempting to reunite with Kiyotaka Ijichi (CV: Mitsuo Iwata), a non-combatant assistant director. However, Ijichi had already been stabbed by someone and was lying bleeding on the ground.

Seeing this, Nanami muttered through gritted teeth, "Don't underestimate me..." The one who attacked Ijichi was Haruta Shigemo (CV: Wataru Hatano), a vile curse user who enjoyed tormenting the weak. Even now, he was relishing in tormenting Nobara Kugisaki (CV: Asami Seto).

Nanami appeared before Shigemo, who was fighting Kugisaki, and approached with a fierce expression, asking Shigemo, "How many comrades do you have, and where are they positioned?" Shigemo, having no intention to answer, slashed at Nanami, but Nanami remained unfazed like a wall. Clenching his fist, Nanami asked again, "How many comrades do you have, and where are they positioned?" Not waiting for Shigemo to finish saying "I don't know," Nanami delivered a powerful blow. Nanami then walked up to Shigemo, who had been sent flying against the wall, and repeated, "How many comrades do you have, and where are they positioned?" With a piercing glare, Nanami said, "Several assistant directors were killed on the way here. It was you, wasn't it?" and delivered a final blow that sent Shigemo flying outside the building.
