――How do you view Jujutsu Kaisen as a work, personally?

Enoki:This is the work from which I receive the most feedback from everyone, and to put it simply, I believe my life as an actor has been changed by Jujutsu Kaisen. This series has nurtured me, and it is a precious work for which I hope to repay that debt through my performance.

Uchida:It's been over five years since the audition, and I recall that the 'Shibuya Incident' started serialization right around the time my casting as Fushiguro was first announced. Therefore, it is deeply moving that this part has been animated and has become such a highly popular episode. Personally, Shibuya is a place I have many opportunities to visit, so imagining 'this is where such-and-such happened' was fun, but the quality of the animated footage surpassed my imagination. I feel that Jujutsu Kaisen has been entertaining me all the way up to this point.

Tsuda:The response to this work is truly astonishing. Not only in Japan, but there are many fervent fans overseas as well. The year before last, I took a trip to Europe, and I was approached five times during my six-day stay. Even in Spain this year, I was startled when a very rugged-looking person called out 'Tsuda-san.' When I asked those people, 'How do you know me?' every single one of them said Jujutsu Kaisen. The 'Shibuya Incident' was a very heavy season for Nanami, but it really made me realize what an incredible work I've been involved in, and I was very happy to be a part of it.
