Even Toji, often seen as a free-spirited "scumbag character," reveals through this moment that he harbored his own feelings toward his son. This unexpected conclusion elicited responses like "I didn't think Toji had feelings in him," "The humanity he showed at the very end just gets me," and "The way he says, 'So you're not a Zenin' is so unexpectedly gentle that it makes me cry every time," leaving a deep resonance in the hearts of viewers.

The anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" is based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami, which has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation including digital versions. The story begins when Yūji Itadori, who comes to share his body with the King of Curses, Ryōmen Sukuna, transfers to the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, an institution specializing in combating curses. The second season of the anime, which aired from July to December 2023, depicted the highly popular "Hidden Inventory/Premature Death" and "Shibuya Incident" arcs from the original manga. Production has also been confirmed for the sequel arc, "Culling Game."
