Amidst the intense battle, viewers were amused by Kugisaki swinging a toy hammer, commenting, "That squeaky hammer is hilarious," "What a sound! LOL," "A full swing with such determination must hurt a lot," and "After all that fierce trash talk, using a squeaky hammer is just funny."

Currently streaming, the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" is based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami, which has over 100 million copies in circulation. The story, depicting the battle between jujutsu sorcerers and "curses" born from negative human emotions, begins to unfold significantly from the point when Yuji Itadori (voiced by Junya Enoki), who ends up sharing a body with the "King of Curses" Ryomen Sukuna, enrolls in the "Jujutsu High," a specialized institution against curses.

The first season of the TV anime, which started in October 2020, received a huge response not only in Japan but worldwide. The second season of the anime, aired from July to December 2023, depicted the stories "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" from the past of "the strongest jujutsu sorcerer" Satoru Gojo (voiced by Yuichi Nakamura) and "the worst curse user" Suguru Geto (voiced by Takahiro Sakurai), as well as the continuation of the timeline from the first season with "Shibuya Incident." The production of the sequel "Culling Game" is also underway, and on May 30, 2025, "Jujutsu Kaisen Hidden Inventory/ Premature Death Compilation Movie" will be released.
