Fans Poke Fun at Anime-Original "Compliance-Friendly" Scene in "Jujutsu Kaisen"! Reggie Wears a Helmet While Driving, But... "Using a Phone While Riding is OK? lol"

During Episode 57 of the "Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1" anime, which aired late on March 12, an anime-original depiction sparked a flurry of jokes. Viewers noticed that Reggie Star (CV: Yutaka Aoyama), while riding a scooter, was properly wearing a helmet, leading to comments like, "Wait, that's what you're worried about?"

In Episode 57, "Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Part 4," a fierce battle unfolded between Megumi Fushiguro (CV: Yūma Uchida) and Reggie. Reggie used his Cursed Technique to summon a scooter and chase down the fleeing Fushiguro. Even in the heat of battle, Reggie seemed conscious of road safety, wearing his helmet correctly. However, he was still checking his smartphone while riding.

In the original manga, Reggie does not wear a helmet in this scene, suggesting the anime version was modified to comply with broadcasting standards. Nevertheless, since he was still "distracted driving" with his phone, the internet erupted with quips like, "It's funny how they cared about the helmet but the phone is somehow OK lol," "He’s still driving one-handed while messing with his phone, so he’s busted anyway lol," and "Wait, that's what you're worried about?"

Furthermore, many viewers felt that wearing a helmet even during combat actually suited Reggie’s character. It was well-received, with fans saying, "It actually adds to Master Reggie’s sense of composure, which is hilarious," and "I can honestly imagine Reggie being strangely polite about wearing a helmet. Regardless of traffic laws, it was a great change."
