“Jujutsu Kaisen” just celebrated the final episode of the third season “Death Kaiyu Part 1” on March 26th. At the event, Junya Enoki who played the role of Yuji Kojo, Emi Ogata who played the role of Yuta Otsukotsu, Kazuya Nakai who played the role of Haiganeji, and Tomokazu Sugita who played the role of Hiromi Niksha took the stage. The first corner is "Juju Quiz ~in AJ Colony" where you can guess the trending word on X (formerly Twitter) using 4 choices. The first question asks which words from episodes 52 to 54, in which the scales played an active role, are not trending among the following: ``Ribbogai'', ``Nishinaka no Tora'', ``Fight Club'', and ``Kin-chan''. Unable to narrow down the answer, Enoki requests a hint as the time limit approaches, and a hint arrives via message from Yuki Sakakibara, who plays the role of Seikira. In response to this, the cast members come up with the correct answer: "Fight Club." Looking back on his performance in episodes 52-54, Nakai, who played the role of Habin, said, ``It was a lot of fun.I think I was given a really interesting role.''
The second question picks up trending words from episodes 55 and 56, which depict the courtroom drama between Niksha. Sugita, who guessed the correct answer, said, ``I actually researched the precedents and went to the audience seats to watch the verdict being handed down.'' The third question that follows is based on the four-way battle between Otokotsu and the Sendai Barrier that was aired the other day. Once again, the cast demonstrated outstanding teamwork and managed to get all the questions correct. In this way, the cast members obtained annual passes to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. Ogata praised the episode from which the question was asked, saying, ``In the final episode, the battle scene continued from beginning to end, so I was once again impressed by the quality of the animators' work.''
The third 5th anniversary visual for "Jujutsu Kaisen" was also unveiled at the event. It was also announced that the finale event "Juju Fes 2026 -5th anniversary-" to conclude the 5th anniversary will be held at K Arena Yokohama in Kanagawa on August 29th and 30th. On May 1st, the latest 3 volumes of ``Jujutsu Kaisen≡ (Modulo)'', a spin-off of ``Jujutsu Kaisen'' by Yuji Iwasaki, will be released. It was also announced that a ``MAPPA Lineup Presentation'' will be held.
Finally, Sugita said, ``The only reason we can think about the future is because we are alive.I feel this especially strongly when it comes to ``Jujutsu Kaisen.''I'm looking forward to what's to come.'' Nakai said, ``I'm happy to be able to appear in front of everyone for the first time as a cast member of ``Jujutsu Kaisen''.I believe that the real battle is just beginning.I look forward to your continued support.'' Ogata commented, ``It was a very luxurious and happy time to meet everyone right after the final episode aired. Thank you for your continued support.'' Enoki said, ``I'm happy to be involved in ``Jujutsu Kaisen,'' which has always been fun to record, and when I watch it on air, it delivers images that are even better than I imagined.The final volume of ``Modulo'' also has a great development, so I hope you'll enjoy both the anime and the original work.''
