Naoya Zen'in (Voiced by Koji Yusa) Joins Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade! Perfect Recreation of the "Dobukasu Rush" Draws Fan Reactions: "Stop Flipping Your Hair lol" and "I Never Thought I'd See That Scene in Phantom Parade Too"

The official X account for the smartphone game Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade has announced that Naoya Zen'in (voiced by Koji Yusa) arrived as a playable character on October 30, and a character introduction PV has been released. Fans are cheering over a certain gesture revealed in the battle footage.

Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade is the first smartphone game based on the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, which is adapted from the popular manga by Gege Akutami that concluded its serialization in 2024. Since its launch on November 21, 2023, it has surpassed 25 million downloads worldwide, and it also won the grand prize in the Story category of "Google Play Best of 2024."

Released along with the line "I'm the head of the Zen'in clan," the footage shows a battle scene in which Naoya unleashes his techniques. Attacking at overwhelming speed, Naoya even performs the move fans call the "Dobukasu Rush," pummeling his opponent with just his right hand while brushing his hair back with his left. The sight of him landing one critical hit after another for massive damage is spectacular.

In response to the post, many excited comments came in from fans, such as "Finally, Naoya!! Eeek!! Dobukasu!!!," "The Dobukasu Rush is in there!!," "I never thought I'd get to see that scene in Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade too...," "The hair flip is here!" and "Stop flipping your hair lol." There was also high praise, including "The motion and the line really give fans what they wanted. The devs get it lol" and "The great thing about Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade is that it accurately picks out what makes the anime's direction so appealing and works it into the skill animations."
