"Jujutsu Kaisen" Epic Scene: Todo and Takada-chan's "Tall Duo" Duo Beats Up Mahito!? Innovative Visuals Praised as "Basically a Domain Expansion"

Episode 45 of the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen," which incorporated bold anime-original elements, surprised even the original manga’s fans. The unique development, in which Aoi Todo(voiced by Subaru Kimura) teams up with his idol Takada-chan (voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa), elicited a mix of bewilderment and praise from viewers.

The "Shibuya Incident" arc takes place around Shibuya Station bustling with Halloween festivities, depicting intense battles between Jujutsu Sorcerers, Curse Users, and Cursed Spirits. In episode 44, there was an anime-original scene where, as Todo activates Black Flash, Takada-chan's "tantakataan" voice echoes and a mysterious visual appears. This sequence drew comments from viewers like, "This is like a fever dream." In the following episode 45, the anime-original interactions between Todo and Takada-chan were portrayed even more impressively.

During the fight with Special Grade Cursed Spirit Mahito (voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki), Takada-chan's song starts playing. The scene is accompanied by a caption reading "*This is Todo’s imagination," showing Todo and Takada-chan combining their strength to counterattack.
