"He's Actually Cool for Such Trash..." "Too Much Like a Main Character" — Naoya Zenin Floods With Comments as "Jujutsu Kaisen" Season 3 BD Digipack Illustration Released

The official "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime X account has released the special interchangeable three-sided digipack illustration for Season 3 "The Culling Game: Part 1" Blu-ray & DVD Vol.2, generating significant buzz.

The digipack illustration for this product, set to be released on Wednesday, May 20th, features three newly drawn characters: Maki Zen'in, Naoya Zenin, and Kinji Hakari. In the released images, the first panel shows Maki holding a sword with a calm expression despite being covered in blood and dirt. The second panel depicts Naoya in a dynamic pose, crouching while extending his hand forward with a sharp gaze. The third panel impressively shows Hakari looking upward powerfully as if showcasing his muscular physique.

The reaction to Naoya's illustration in particular has been significant, with fans commenting: "The character in the second panel is too handsome. I bet he's a caring jujutsu sorcerer who rushes to help his comrades in a pinch," "He's actually cool for such trash... what?" "The second one looks too much like a main character," and "Who is this handsome guy?" — voices poking fun at the gap between his personality in the series and his visual appearance have flooded in. Additionally, comments such as "Purchase confirmed!" expressing anticipation for the product's release have also been submitted.

The anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" is a dark fantasy work based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami. It depicts the fierce battle between curses born from human negative emotions and the jujutsu sorcerers who exorcise them with jujutsu. Following the broadcast of the first TV anime season starting in October 2020, through the release of a theatrical film and the broadcast of Season 2 "Hidden Inventory/Premature Death & Shibuya Incident," Season 3 "The Culling Game: Part 1" is currently airing. It is a mega-hit series boasting such high popularity that it has sparked a social phenomenon both domestically and internationally.
