"Jujutsu Kaisen 0" Megumi Ogata: "Okkotsu grows up in the blink of an eye" Kana Hanazawa: "I think he treasured their time together so much"

――Are there any favorite scenes or memorable scenes during recording for "Jujutsu Kaisen 0"?

Ogata: I'd like people to think that the scenes they enjoyed watching are my favorite scenes.
The difficult scenes were difficult throughout, but as Okkotsu grows up in the blink of an eye, sudden changes could become strange, so I was doing my best while thinking about what to use as a hook for his growth.

Hanazawa: That approach was very delicate, and since I couldn't be at the recording site the whole time, when I saw the finished product and it had become one complete work, I felt the depth of Ogata-san's immersion.

Ogata: The anime staff, including the sound director, examined the direction very carefully, so among the various patterns we recorded, I didn't know which ones were adopted, and I remember it being difficult because even when the same scene appeared in games or elsewhere, I didn't know with which feelings I had performed it.

Hanazawa: Rika-chan's way of speaking when she became a vengeful spirit was difficult. I couldn't really imagine it, so I actually went to the recording site, and while being conscious of how her appearance was different from her original body, how it was difficult to speak, and how creepy it was, there was also the aspect where all the lines had dakuten marks attached, so performing while producing a hoarse voice but with the inside still properly being Rika-chan and moving for Okkotsu-kun's sake, being conscious of all of that at once was what I found difficult.
