Subsequently, Kugisaki, teary-eyed, kicked Itadori, saying, "Don't you have something to say?" Prompting him to apologize, "I'm sorry for keeping my being alive a secret..." This exchange left many viewers feeling heartwarmed, with comments like, "They're genuinely happy," and "Teary-eyed Kugisaki and confused Fushiguro are so cute."

The anime "Jujutsu Kaisen," currently streaming, is based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami, which has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation. The story, depicting the battle between "curses" born from human negative emotions and the jujutsu sorcerers who exorcise them, takes a significant turn when Yuji Itadori, who shares a body with the "King of Curses," Ryomen Sukuna, transfers to the "Jujutsu High," a specialized institution for sorcerers.

The first season of the TV anime, which began in October 2020, received widespread acclaim not only in Japan but worldwide. The second season, aired from July to December 2023, featured the story of "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death," about "the strongest jujutsu sorcerer" Satoru Gojo and "the worst curse user" Suguru Geto (voiced by Takahiro Sakurai) during their high school days, and continued the timeline with the "Shibuya Incident." The production of the sequel "Culling Game" is also underway, and "Jujutsu Kaisen Hidden Inventory/ Premature Death Compilation Movie" is set to be released on May 30, 2025.
