The official X account for baseyard tokyo has posted an announcement for the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" 5th Anniversary SPECIAL POPUP, generating massive buzz among fans.

This event is a special pop-up shop celebrating the 5th anniversary of the "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime. It has been confirmed to open sequentially at baseyard tokyo starting June 10. The venue will feature a full gathering of all three waves of the 5th-anniversary visuals released so far, creating a special space that marks the grand finale of the anime's 5th anniversary celebration.

The released image showcases a visual featuring numerous characters from the series lined up together. The top row features Jujutsu High members including Yūji Itadori (voiced by Junya Enoki), Megumi Fushiguro (voiced by Yūma Uchida), and Nobara Kugisaki (voiced by Asami Seto), along with Kento Nanami (voiced by Kenjirō Tsuda) and Satoru Gojō (voiced by Yūichi Nakamura).

In response to this announcement, numerous congratulatory messages and voices of eager anticipation flooded social media, with fans commenting, "Everyone's here! Happy 5th anniversary," "I'm absolutely going!" and "I cannot miss this!" Furthermore, regarding the composition of the visual, comments like "I love how only Gojō and Getō are facing each other" and "Why are they facing each other only where Gojō is?" have piled up, drawing a massive reaction to the special placement that evokes the deep relationship between the two.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" is an anime series based on the manga by Gege Akutami. This dark fantasy follows Yūji Itadori, a high school student with extraordinary physical abilities, who plunges into a world of battles over curses after the seal on a "cursed object" hidden at his school is broken one day. Starting with the broadcast of the first season of the TV anime in 2020, followed by the movie, the second season "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" and "Shibuya Incident," and the third season "The Culling Game Arc," the series has garnered immense support both domestically and internationally for its overwhelmingly high-quality action scenes and profound drama.
