In this article, I will introduce the second and third seasons (3rd season, 24th episode onwards) of Mushoku Tensei（Jobless Reincarnation). In the first season of the anime, the reunion with Paul, the battle with Olstead, and the first experience with Eris were all emo and hot! But in the last episode, Eris disappeared and Lourdes was left alone .......

I'm sure you'll be interested in the rest of the story. So for those of you who are curious about the continuation of Jobless Reincarnation! For those of you who are curious, here's a summary of the second season of Mushoku Tensei!

What are the chances that the second and third seasons (third season) of Mushoku Tensei will be produced, and when will they be aired? And what kind of stories will be animated in the second and third seasons of Mushoku Tensei? How many volumes of the original work do I need to read in order to see the rest of the story? There are some spoilers in this article, so please be careful.

First of all,

will there be a second season of MUSHOKU Tensei (the third season, after episode 24)? At this point, it is not clear. At the moment, there is no official information about the second season of Mushoku Tensei. However, based on what we know now, we believe that there is an almost 100% chance that the second season of Mushoku Tensei will be produced!

Chances of the second season

of MUSHOKU being produced: Almost 100%! (Isn't it an informal decision? (I think it's been unofficially confirmed.)

I'm going to explain why I think the possibility of a second season of MUSHOKU is almost 100%.

I don't care about the reasons, I want to know what's going to happen in the second season! Click here if you want to know more. Click here to jump to the story spoilers.

The key to the second season or sequel of an anime is whether or not it will be produced, and whether or not it will be profitable for the anime's production committee.

In the case of Mushoku Tensei, the key is whether or not the original work, the sales of the anime discs, distribution, and merchandise are profitable. In the case of MUSHOKU Tensei, it is important to know if the original work, anime disc sales, distribution, and merchandise are profitable.

So, based on the sales and popularity of MUSHOKU Tensei's discs, original works, goods, and distribution(streaming? i don't know the correct words lol), I will introduce the possibility of MUSHOKU Tensei's second season.

Possibility of a second or third season of Mushoku tensei: Disc popularity and sales

It is a common belief that in order for an anime sequel to be produced, it needs to sell 4,000 to 5,000 discs per volume.

So, how are the sales of the discs of MUSHOKU Tensei?

As of April 2021, MUSHOKU Tensei Blu-ray volume 1 has sold 4,385 copies, but it has not reached the target of 5,000 copies.

But don't worry!

There are exceptions!

Another anime called "The Man Who Was Picked Up by the Gods" had a very tough time, selling only about 600 discs. However, the anime was ranked second in the number of views on video distribution services after Jujutsu Kaisen, which was aired at the same time. I don't know if it was because of this, but the production of the second season has been decided.

It's hard to think of any other reason why a second season would be produced even though the disc sales were low, other than the fact that the number of views on the video distribution service was high! Based on this, when I think about the possibility of a third season of the sequel to MUSHOKU Tensei, MUSHOKU Tensei is also ranked within the top 1 to 5 in the video distribution service.

On top of that, volume 3, the second Blu-ray of the second season year, is ranked 76th in Amazon's anime Blu-ray ranking.

It's a pretty high ranking, so it looks like it will sell close to 3,000 to 4,000 copies steadily.

So first of all, based on the sales of the discs, I believe that the popularity of the second season of MUSHOKU Tensei is enough to make it possible to produce it.

Possibility of a second season of MUSHOKU: Popularity in distribution

It's not only the discs that are profitable for anime these days, but also the distribution.

This is because a large number of views on distribution is enough to make a profit.

In fact, recently, thanks to the popularity of distribution, more and more anime are being produced for a second season even if the sales of the discs are not high.

With that in mind, the popularity of MUSHOKU Tensei's distribution can be seen at ......

It's ranked number one every week on both d-anime store, Niconico-douga and U-NEXT! It's seriously overwhelming, so from the perspective of distribution popularity, I believe that the second season of Mushoku Tensei is almost certain.

Possibility of a second or third season of Mushoku Tensei: Overseas popularity

In addition to the domestic popularity of anime, the overseas popularity is also important these days.

The reason is that there are more people there than in Japan, so it is easier to make large profits.

That's why in recent years, there is a pattern of making a second season when the overseas popularity is high, and it is considered very important.

In this respect, MUSHOKU Tensei's popularity in the English-speaking world is incredible.

On a ranking site called Anime Trending, it has been ranked number one among the current season's anime every week!

After the last episode aired, it swept all the top spots in the popularity rankings of the overseas anime sites "animetrics", "Anime Corner", and "Anime Trending". Some people are claiming that a sequel is almost certain because of the potential overseas market.

Considering its tremendous popularity overseas, a second season of Mushoku Tensei is quite likely.

Possibility of a second or third season of Mushokutensei: popularity and sales of the original work

And finally, the popularity of the original work.

As of August 2021, the original work of Mushoku Tensei has sold over 8.5 million copies!

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (Light Novel) Vol. 1 - Kindle edition by na Magonote, Rifujin, Shirotaka. Download it once and read it

also has manga(comic) version!

Amazon.com: Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Vol. 1: 9781626922358: Magonote, Rifujin Na: Books

This is the 20th highest sales figure among all light novels in Japan, and even though it has only been a short time since the anime adaptation, this sales figure is quite impressive.

It's quite amazing that it's sold so much in such a short period of time.

The web version is also one of the most popular, ranking second in the Naro'u(『小説家になろう』) cumulative ranking.

Looking at the sales and the overwhelming popularity of this work, I believe that a second season of Mushoku Tensei is almost certain.

Possibility of a second season of Mushoku Tensei: Establishment of Studio Bind

Another objective piece of data is the statement made by Studio Bind, the company that produces the anime of Mushoku Tensei.

Studio Bind was established to coincide with the start of the production of Mushoku Tensei, and the reason for its establishment is stated as follows

According to both companies, the establishment of the new company is due to the fact that in order to create an anime adaptation of the popular original work, "Mushoku Tensei,

" it was determined that a system that would allow the project to proceed in a continuous, long-term, and systematic manner was necessary. From "Animation Business Journal".

In other words, there is a long-term plan for the production of "Mushoku Tensei. In light of this, it is hard to imagine that the Mushoku Tensei anime will end after only one season.

--------------------------

To sum it up so far,

there is a high possibility that the 2nd and 3rd seasons (3rd season year, 24 episodes onwards) of Mushokutensei will be produced. The original work is still number 2 in Naro's total (from 2012), and the series has sold a whopping 8.5 million copies!

The anime also has sufficient disc sales, and the distribution is at the highest level of popularity both in Japan and abroad! The production company was also established for the purpose of making MUSHOKU Tensei for the long term, so I think it's safe to say that a second season of MUSHOKU Tensei is almost guaranteed! On top of that, if the second season of Mushoku Tensei is going to be aired, when will it be? If so, when will it be aired?

When will the 2nd and 3rd seasons (3rd season year, episode 24 onwards) of Mushokutensei be aired?

Next, I'd like to talk about when the second and third seasons of Mushokutensei will be aired (after the third season, episode 24). That's the question.

Of course, there is no official announcement yet.

However, based on the information we have now, I think it will be around half a year to a year from July 2022 to January 2023.

Broadcast dates for the second and third seasons of MUSHOKU Tensei

→July 2022 to January 2023 (about half a year to a year later)

This can be seen from the time period until the broadcast of the sequels of other anime.

I'll explain it in detail below.

Broadcast timing for the second and third seasons of MUSHOKU Tensei: Based on the examples of other anime, sequels take more than a year to air.

First of all, no matter how popular an anime is, it takes quite a long time for a sequel to be aired.

Often, right after the last episode airs, there are anime that announce, "A second season is in the works! right after the last episode airs.

Even in such works where the second season has been decided in advance, if the timing is undecided, the actual broadcast is usually a year after the announcement.

So, basically, January 2023 is a reasonable time frame.

Broadcast timing for the second and third seasons of MUSHOKU Tensei: On top of that, MUSHOKU Tensei may already be in production.

I mentioned that even if a work is announced for a second season soon, it will still take a year to be broadcast.

On top of that, there is a possibility that Mushoku Tensei will be broadcasted a bit earlier.

Because, as you can see from the aforementioned reason for the establishment of Studio Bind, Mushoku Tensei is an anime that is supposed to be produced in a very systematic way, so it wouldn't be surprising at all if they are already working on the second season.

So, I think there is a good chance that the second season will start around July 2022, two cool years later.

So, the second season of Mujo Tensei will be around July 2022 to January 2023!

For those of you who can't wait that long, I'm going to talk about the story and highlights of the second season of Mushoku Tensei, along with my thoughts on it!

It will contain spoilers, so please be careful if you don't like it.

Who is the voice actor for "AKEBI-chan's Sailor uniform"? Kana Hanazawa and more!

The following are comments from Hanazawa and other additional cast members.

Kana Hanazawa (as YUWA AKEBI)

I will be the voice of YUWA, the sunny mother of the AKEBI family!

When I read the original story, one of the elements that made me feel tender was YUWA's way of being a mother and the richness of her heart. One of the elements that made me feel kind and gentle when I read the original story was the way YUWA was as a mother, like she had a rich heart.

Misaki Kuno (as Hanao AKEBI)

I'm very happy to be able to play the role of Hanao, who is a little bit chatty, has a lovely smile, and is very cute.

The scenes of the AKEBI family are full of wonderful stories, and I felt warm and fuzzy in the recording studio every time.

As I played the role, I wished I had an older sister like Koji, who always watched over her younger sister, Hanao, with kindness.

Personally, I was really happy to finally be able to give birth (as a role) to Ms. Hanazawa, with whom I have played many sisters in the past. ......!

Please look forward to the activities of Koji, who will make everyone around him smile!

Tetsu Mikami (as Sato AKEBI)

When I read the original story, I was impressed by how fresh and sparkling the world was.

Of course my daughter Koji, but also her classmates are unique and full of charm.

Being in touch with the world of this work made me forget about the reality of everyday life and healed my heart.

Although the story is mainly about the episodes at school, I put my heart and soul into my performance so that people would feel that it was because of this family.

I'd like to go on a family trip with my family AKEBI.

Shuka Saito (as Miki Fukumoto)

My name is Shuka Saito and I will be playing the role of Miki Fukumoto.

I met AKEBI-chan through SNS.

I was so shocked to meet the cutest girl that I went to buy the original story the next day, and I still remember that.

I still remember buying the original the next day.

I'm so excited to be able to play Miki-chan, the girl that AKEBI-chan adores.

I'm so happy to be able to play Miki-chan in my favorite song.

I've been thinking a lot about Miki-chan and how she would look in the song. I thought a lot about what kind of expression Miki-chan would have made in the song, and sang the song while keeping in mind the world of AKEBI-chan and her friends.

I hope you will enjoy their daily life not only in the original story but also in the TV anime.

Once again, congratulations on the TV anime!

Is AKEBI-chan's Sailor Uniform Disgusting?

In conclusion, some people may have the impression that it is unpleasant, and the content may be difficult to accept.

The Fenimist might be furious, too.

This is because of the author's strong sexuality, and the opinion that "the story is about a girl who would never exist in reality".

You don't have to say that much, lol.

Personally, I think it's a very beautiful work.

I like it a lot.

It is true that there are some parts of the story that I can understand the opinion that it is unpleasant.

In this work, a cute and honest girl lives her life to the fullest.

There are almost no male characters in this story. (Only the father, I think)

My opinion on the original comic.

Whether or not you can like this work depends on whether or not you can like the beautiful girls the author draws.

If it meets your requirements, you will be able to enjoy "a collection of carefully drawn pictures of beautiful girls with dancing movements.

Unfortunately, if it doesn't, it will look like "a boring picture story of girls watching their strange behavior".

What an opinion!

In the original story, there are many parts that look like an illustration book.

That's right. It's really great!

In "AKEBI's Sailor Uniform", the author seems to be expressing what he likes, in whatever form he likes, and as much as he likes.

And it does so at a high level, without skimping.

The drawings are like a manga, easy to understand, and the foreshadowing and storyline are not something you can draw with preconceived notions.

In spite of this, there is no unnecessary composition, and every scene is sophisticated.

The opinion that fits the best on the Internet is

It's a work that is the result of letting perverts have technology.

What do you think of such a "Sailor Uniform of AKEBI" anime? I'm looking forward to it!

Voices from the Internet

The author's "Isn't this girl cute? It's so gross!

Fetish art collection

The author's sexuality is strong, but at the end of the day it's just a daily life story.

I'm a guy, and I find this manga weird.

What kind of person is the author of AKEBI-chan's Sailor Uniform?

The author of "AKEBI-chan's Sailor Uniform" is a man named Hiroshi.

He is a manga artist and illustrator born on October 28, 1987 in Japan.

He lives in Tokyo, Japan.

His favorite things to do are drawing, tropical fish, and SD Gundam (he said that he had a hard time talking about his childhood without it).

In 2009, "Aquarium" was published as a guest essay in the August issue of "Manga Time Kirara Karat".

The same work appeared as a guest in the September/October issue of the same year, and was serialized from the December issue of the same year to the October issue of 2011.

In the interview, Hiroshi said that he likes to draw clothes.

He also said that he imagines "movement" when he draws.

In order to express movement, even the tips of his fingers and the ends of his hair are important, so he wants to draw the whole body.

This inevitably means that there is no room for the background or panels, which leads to the depiction of the white background.

It's often posted on Twitter.

It is not allowed to be reprinted, so please see it directly.

It's really good!

thank you. Thank you for the good meal(Gochiso-sama-deshita) lol

The second episode of "Bisque Doll" was broadcasted, and it was amazing. I felt like I was witnessing a historical moment....

I'd like to talk about the second episodes of Bisque Doll.

This is the second episode that was broadcasted. I'm sure this episode will be talked about for the next 10 years, or even 20 years, it was so god. ↓ official anime twitter!

So, Marin goes to Gojo's house to get measurements to make a cosplay outfit, but it takes up an entire episode just to get the measurements. It's a bold use of scale, but it's still very rich. It's a bit like Teasing master Marin-chan. Marin took complete control, and it was great.

She takes off her clothes, and Gojo-kun takes her measurements, and then he gets embarrassed and starts measuring her. But his face at the end is good. Gojyo-kun has been through so much as he takes the measurements, and at the end. It's a little bit. It's like he becomes enlightened.

At the end, when Gojo is taking the inseam measurements, he touches Marin's body.

Gojo doesn't think anything of it, but Marin's face turns red.

It's interesting that she doesn't simply blush because he touched her, but that she understands what's going on by touching him.

I enjoyed the way she came back to her sense. and her desire to have fun making fun of Gojyo-kun combined to make her go to extreme lengths in everything she does.

In the midst of all this, Gojo-kun crosses a line and becomes enlightened.

Gojo-kun doesn't notice or think anything of it, but Marin-chan realizes what's going on when she's touched. That's why SHE felt so embarrassed about what She was doing.

The moment she comes back to herself, she blushes.

It was a great way to end the story, with Gojo, who had been beaten unilaterally, unconsciously doing it back.

And why will this scene be talked about for the next 10 to 20 years? There is a reason.

AKEBI-chan's Sailor Uniform - Where is it set?

The setting of "AKEBI-chan's Sailor Uniform" is a prestigious girls' school in the countryside called "Shiritsu Roubaigakuen"『私立蠟梅学園』（しりつろうばいがくえん）.

A first year junior high school girl, Akebi Komichi, meets many friends at this private school.

This is the main setting of the story, but there is a model school in this school.

AKEBI-chan's Sailor Uniform, Location, and Holy Land

The places and settings in this work are fictional.

I'd like to introduce some of the places that are actually models.

Hino City　日野市

AKEBI's Sailor Uniform" is set in Hino City, a city located in the southern part of the Tama region of Tokyo（東京都）.

The city of Hino is the model for the story.

The city is also mentioned in the comic as a source of information.

However, the place where AKEBI-chan lives in the comic is more rural.

In the original story, she travels to Tokyo by bullet train.

The place where she lives is probably modeled on a more rural area.

It's just a guess, but it may be modeled on Karuizawa Station to Karuizawa, which was also in the manga.

I Ai Girls' High School 遺愛女子中学校・高等学校

The school Akebi-chan goes to, which I mentioned earlier as a stage, is modeled after the private Roubai Gakuen.

The model for the school Akebi goes to is "Iai Girls' High School" located in Suginami-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido.

The school actually has a sailor uniform, which is the main axis of the story.

The summer uniform is a white sailor Uniform with a navy blue pleated skirt.

The winter uniform seems to be navy blue.

This school has been used as a location for many movies.

P and JK - Released in 2017. Co-starring Kazuya Kamenashi and Taho Tsuchiya, the movie is about a serious romance between a police officer and a high school girl.

Filmed as Otoo High School, which the main character, a high school girl, attends. It was reported that "the retro school building of Iai High School matched the world view of the film and gave it a fantastic finish.

When You Wish Upon a Star. - Released in 2003. It is a movie set in Hakodate starring Yuko Takeuchi. It seems to have been filmed in the main building of the relic and the old missionary building, as well as the hospital in the play.

Pakodatejin - Released in 2002. Film set in Hakodate, starring Aoi Miyazaki and also starring Ryo Katsuji, Yo Oizumi, Masato Hagiwara, Ken Yasuda and Nao Omori. The main character, played by Aoi Miyazaki, attends a high school called Manasu Gakuen.

Ryokan Kamada

In the film, there is a story about a trip taken by the AKEBI-chan family, which is also modeled on this location.

This is Ryokan Kamada, located in Yugawara-cho, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture.

It is a prestigious onsen ryokan in a hot spring town near the sea, surrounded by a wall and built in the sukiya style, a pure Japanese style.

All rooms are equipped with an indoor hot spring bath with the source of the water flowing through it, and the Japanese-style guest rooms with a view of the garden from one of the windows on the broad veranda have a traditional pure Japanese atmosphere.

They're staying at a great place. lol

Chef Maison Claude Monet

AKEBI-chan's classmate, Usagihara Toko, modeled her family's confectionary store after

Chef Maison Claude Monet,

located in Akishima City, Tokyo, is the model for this shop.

This place also seems to have been used as a location for episode 9 of the drama "Toshita Kareshi (yonger boyfriend)".

Summary

In this article, we have summarized the setting, locations, and holy places of AKEBI-chan's Sailor uniform.

Might as well take a look at the backgrounds and scenery, not just the cute characters!

1: A Royal Story of "Friendship", "Effort", and "Victory"!

Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is a classic JUMP story of friendship, effort, and victory. The main character, Yuta Okkotsu (Emi Ogata), is haunted by the spirit of Rika Orimoto, who sadly died in a car accident. When he harms her, Rika's curse causes intense harm, and he wants to be executed himself. Then, a nice young man wearing a blindfold reaches out to him. His name is Gojo Satoru (Nakamura Yuichi). He is the most powerful sorcerer in the world. As if guided by him, Okkotsu Yuta is lured to the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In front of him, a scary female student, Maki Zennin (Mikako Komatsu), a spellcaster who talks with the ingredients of rice balls, Toge Inumaki (Kouki Uchiyama), and Panda (Tomokazu Seki) are waiting.

Yuuta is bewildered when he enters the classroom and is suddenly confronted by the three. Unsure of how to build relationships with them, he is sent into battle. In the midst of all this, he gradually comes to be able to verbalize his inner desires.

I want to be involved with someone. I want to be needed, and I want to have the confidence that it's okay to live."

The most passionate drama of friendship, hard work, and triumph in the film can be glimpsed in the scene where the curse of Inumaki Toge and the shuttered street is exorcised. Yuuta looks at Toge with envy as he exorcises countless curses with a single blow. On the other hand, he also witnesses his weakness as his voice dies and he becomes dizzy after a single attack. Then, an unexpected accident occurs. A new "curse," a curse of a different rank, appears.

Crisis!

The Toge drops the "throat potion", a recovery item. He is in desperate straits. Since Toge loves his friends, he declares that he will fight alone. After a struggle, Yuuta voluntarily approaches him and says, "Let's do our best together. He was reluctant in life. This is the moment when his reluctance in life becomes active according to his feelings of wanting to be involved with someone.

How will Yuta Okkotsune and Toge Inumaki play together now that they are close? You'll have to see what happens next at the theater. At the end of the battle, you will be moved to tears when you realize the meaning of the previously incomprehensible "conversation between the ingredients of the onigiri".

In the first season of the anime, unique characters kept appearing and disappearing one after another, and the in-depth exploration of character building was put off. It was as if they were just starting high school and building relationships with a huge number of other people, and the work had a strong habit of not delving into the characters. On the other hand, this work delves into the past and conflicts of the sorcerers with great precision, making it easy to immerse yourself in the worldview.

2: A prescription for those who feel suffocated!

In this work, the Suguru Getou faction appears, who set up a night of 100 demons in order to rob Rika, who has a vast amount of spell power. They are an evil group that exploits the weak through brutal methods. However, as the film progresses, Getou Suguru's past becomes clearer and we get a glimpse of the cruel reality he has faced.

While showing circumstances that cannot be described in a single word, the essence of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is that even the ability to harm others (=jujutsu) can be used to help others, depending on how it is used, through the attitude of Satoru Gojo.

Yuta Okkotsu wanted to be executed because of his extreme curse. He reaches out to him. Likewise, reaching out to Maki Zennin and Toge Inumaki, Gojyo Satoru has freed those trapped in complexes and sad pasts. He himself overcame a painful past and became the strongest, and he teaches them how to control their power.

In the year 2020, a new type of coronavirus is spreading around the world, and more and more people are feeling alone. As the world becomes more bleak and suffocating, "Spellbound: The Movie" will become a prescription for the soul.

3: Fascination with a variety of action

In addition to the aforementioned coordinated play between Yuuta Okkotsune and Toge Inumaki, the final part of the film, Hyakki Yakou, features an action battle of various spells. Whether you've seen the anime or not, you'll be able to enjoy the thrill of fighting off the assassins that come at you from right, left, and above.

On the other hand, the activities of the backstage staff who care for the fallen are also highlighted. On the other side of this melee is the battle between Yuuta Okkotsu and Jie Xiaoyu, where Yuuta, who has grown both physically and mentally over the course of nearly 90 minutes, turns back the complex and fierce onslaught before him with one new move after another.

Large and small sorcerers and curses, clever transitions between lines and planes, and scene changes that intersect individual and melee combat. You will be excited to see how Yuta Okkotsune perfectly controls the distorted curse "love" in the stylish chaos.

Finally.

In the first season of the anime, I had an image of Maki 禪院 as a "strong-minded person," Toge 狗巻 as a "mysterious person who talks with the ingredients of a rice ball," and Panda as a "panda" that ran through my mind. Therefore, I felt a sense of familiarity with her/him after watching this film. I also felt that it would be easier for me to immerse myself in the worldview if I started with the anime and the original work from "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie.

If you're wondering, "Will I be able to enjoy this even if I haven't seen the original? If you are wondering, "Will I be able to enjoy it without having touched the original?", there is no problem at all, so why don't you watch it for the end of the 2021 movie season?

[japanimatewithme]

Why I think "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is a great love story.

"Let's curse each other to our hearts' content.

When I saw the trailer of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" with these disturbing lines, I thought, "What kind of movie is being shown at Christmas when the mood is filled with happiness?

But the first day of the movie's release. As I left the theater, I thought to myself, "This is a love story!

There are only spoilers below. If you are planning to see the movie, we recommend you to watch it afterwards.

The origin of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is the story of how Okkotsu put "love" into words.

"I love you, Rika."

"That's rude, but it's pure love."

The reason why I thought "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" was a great love story was because of these lines of Okkotsu. The reason why I thought "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" was a superb love story was because of this line by Okkotsu.

Even before this line, there was a key element of romance in this work, the engagement that Okkotsu and Rika had when they were young. However, this event seemed to be a weak motive for Okkotsu to curse Rika and bind her to this world as a special grade over-cursed grudge spirit.

When Okkotsu handed Rika a ring as a child, saying "I'm getting married," she replied, "Okay. This response shows that he is happy to be with her forever, but it also shows how passive Okkotsu is.

Okkotsu's classmate, Maki Zennin, who he met after transferring to a spell college, pointed out that he had been living a passive life. When Maki, who had been damaged by the spirit, asked him why he came to the College of Spells, he said, "I want to be needed by someone" and "I want to have confidence that it is okay to live".

From these descriptions, we can assume that he has a lack of self-confidence that makes it difficult for him to recognize himself without others, and that he is actually an introvert who is only interested in himself while appearing to be considerate of those around him. These traits are still hard to see in her cheerful interactions as a child. However, from her response to the marriage proposal, we can assume that Okkotsu had a glimpse of self-confidence and introversion.

The fact that he said yes to Rika's marriage proposal was probably due to the joy of "being needed by someone". It is my opinion that Okkotsu was not aware of his romantic feelings for Rika at this stage.

The first time Okkotsu felt the self-centered emotion of love was when he faced the tragic breakup with Rika. As a result of not being able to accept the fact that the future they had always had together was suddenly taken away, Okkotsu put a curse on Rika and tied her to his side. However, this curse was also unconscious and unacknowledged, to the extent that he initially recognized it as a curse from Rika, so he was probably not aware of his romantic feelings.

The first time he became aware of his romantic feelings for Rika was probably when he called out to her as a grudge and she manifested herself. At that time, Okkotsu realized that the curse he thought was from Rika was actually his own, and he made a new determination to lift the curse he had placed on her. However, even at this time, it was Gojo Satoru, the homeroom teacher of the high school, who was present and described the curse as "love".

Thus, until the end of the story, Okkotsu does not express his feelings for Rika in words. However, when he sees his friends at the technical college injured in the attack by Getou Suguru, he offers himself as a sacrifice to Rika with words of love in order to realize his wish to protect their future.

Okkotsu, who has been protecting himself and keeping a lid on his true feelings because he doesn't want to hurt others, is actually the most "self-loving" character in this work. He turns his love to someone other than himself. As soon as I heard Okkotsu's warm yet weighty lines, I couldn't help but think that this film was two hours for him to gain the confidence to say "I love you".

The definition of pure love in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is "bare.

In love, obsession and jealousy can be unsightly, ugly, and emotions that we would rather keep hidden if we could. However, these emotions can be said to be the reverse of pure, single-minded love that only sees the person in question. The fact that Okkotsu refuses to let Rika die and curses her to keep her in this world is also the ultimate obsession, an ugly emotion.

The self-production of "I'm a good person" shows on his face.

Okkotsune was also pointed out by Maki. This may apply to his distancing himself from the people around him to avoid hurting them unintentionally, or to his not expressing his will, but I think it also applies to his obsession that he actually loves Rika so much that he binds her to this world. He unconsciously covers up his attachment to Rika and finally realizes it when he is told that he has been putting a curse on her.

When he was told that he had put a curse on her, he finally realized his attachment. However, when he made Rika fully manifest by his own will, he became aware of his own attachment and made efforts to free her from the curse. This can be said to be a determination and resolve to face his true, bare self.

In the act of loving someone, we tend to focus only on the beauty of the flower garden. But more than that, it is a very mentally hard act that requires you to face your own immaturity and selfishness with all your might.

"I love you," which is the end result of accepting these sloppy and self-centered feelings.

The bare words of love that Okkotsu released are not a curse. They were human beings themselves. That's why it became a love story with an extremely high degree of perfection that hits you hard in the heart.

1: What is the enemy in Jujutsu Kaisen?

From the TV anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" episode 3 © Akutami GEGE / Shueisha, Jujutsu Kaisen Production Committee

First of all, let's take note of the main enemies in 'Jujutsu Kaisen'. If Evangelion is an apostle, Demon Blade is a demon, then Jujutsu Kaisen is an enemy of "Jurei", which is also called "Curse" in ....... A lot of the time, a person's body is not the same as a person's body, but it is a different form of existence that embodies the negative emotions that flow from a person's body. Grudges, regrets, and other emotions take the form of monsters and attack people without mercy.

However, ordinary people without magical powers cannot see or touch these monsters. Therefore, the main character Yuta Okkotsu, who can see and has the talent to use spells, as well as other students at the College of spellcasters who are active in the field, work in the dark to exorcise the spirits.

It is important to note that monsters are not the only targets of the spellcasters. There are also those who curse and kill people for various ideas or for pleasure. The opponents of the sorcerers are called curse masters, and in some cases they work in cliques with highly intelligent sorcerers.

Although there are some scenes that sound trivial at first glance because of the classifications given to the spells and spellcasters, even beginners can enjoy watching this movie, given that what we are watching is a simple Jurei (spellcaster) vs. spellcaster royal battle story.

2: It's not scary! The basis is a coming-of-age school story

After reading the visuals on the poster and the commentary so far, you may be worried that "the theme of the film is curses, and the battle between spellcasters is dark. But don't worry. While the splendid action scenes of Jujutsu Kaisen are eye-catching, the everyday parts are also fascinating.

In "Jujutsu Kaisen 0", the main character Yuta Okkotsu transfers to the Kyoto College of Witchcraft and Wizardry, also known as KOSEN (the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry). The college is an educational institution that prepares students to become full-fledged spellcasters, and it is also an important place in the world of spellcraft that provides mediation and support for missions. As with Okkotsu, the fascinating characters of his classmates, who handle curses with their own unique personalities, are also a highlight of the spellcasting battle.

Satoru Gojo (see below for more details) says,

"I'm not allowed to take away the youth from young people, no matter how many of them there are."

In the daily life part with the members who attend the spell college for various reasons, as typified by Satoru Gojo's (see below for more details) famous line, high school life is portrayed with tears and laughter, which is different from normal high school life. In the anime version and the original work, there are more characters who handle various kinds of magic, so it would be a good idea to get a feel for the atmosphere from the movie and try to broaden your horizons. You are sure to find your favorite at ......!

3: What kind of character is the protagonist of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie"?

The main character of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is actually a completely different character than the main character of the anime and the original story. This time, the protagonist is a boy named Yuta Okkotsu, who is reluctant to become a sorcerer or live in fear of being involved with others. He was voiced by Emi Ogata, who played Shinji Ikari, the main character of the "Evangelion" series. He is one of only four special class sorcerers to be admitted to the Sorcery College of Technology, which is unusual.

The reason for this was that he was cursed by his fiancée, Rika Inomoto, who had already died and become a special class over-cursed grudge spirit (a very strong spell spirit).

To make a long story short, his childhood friend who he got engaged to when he was a child had an accident, and he was haunted by his fiancee as a grudge spirit.

Okkotsu's character at the beginning of the story can be described in one word: gloomy. When he first enters the school, he is always looking backward, unable to even find a reason to live, just digesting his days. However, through his days at the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he gradually changes. One day, in his memories of Rika, he discovers the reason why Rika could not enter Nirvana and became a grudge. You can't watch this film without crying, so be sure to see Okkotsu's change and the true reason why Rika became a grudge.

4: The Strongest? Who is Satoru Gojo?

Satoru Gojo is a popular character with white hair and a blindfold, and he is one of the key people who appear in "Spellbound 0" from the very beginning. That is Gojo Satoru.

He is the "strongest sorcerer" in the current sorcerous world, and his strength is out of the ordinary. He usually teaches at the Sorcery College, but for now, the "strongest teacher to the point of being a cheat" is Satoru Gojo, and the story begins when he leads the main character, Yuuta Okkotsu, to the Sorcery College.

In fact, Satoru Gojo himself was once a student at the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is also important to note that the events in his and his best friend's student life are deeply connected to this "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" film. One of the reasons why "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is so popular is that the villain is not only an absolute evil, but also has a storyline where you can feel his personality.

Since its release, "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie" has been showing at theaters all over Japan one after another. Once you've got the four points I've mentioned, all you have to do is go to the theater.

I urge you to keep your eyes on the screen until "beyond the end roll," as the saying goes.

[japanimatewithme]

4 Reasons Why You'll Want to See "Jujutsu Kaisen The Movie 0" Again and Again（Vol.2）

Here are the first two reasons!

3: Two truths that will make you want to watch it again

If you want to watch the movie without any spoilers, please close the page and enjoy the movie first.

In the movie version, two truths are revealed at the end.

One is the truth about Okkotsu and Rika, and the other is the truth about Getou.

The first is the truth about Okkotsu and Rika.

As Okkotsu himself already mentioned in the middle of the story, it was not that Rika cursed Okkotsu, but that Okkotsu cursed Rika. It is said that Okkotsu, who could not accept Rika's death, wished that she should not die, and that is what happened.

The other thing is that Getou, the worst curse maker who becomes the enemy in this work, was a close friend of Gojo.

I thought they must have known each other because there was a scene during the film where he called her by her first name, "Suguru," but the words, "He's my best friend," which were revealed at the end of the film, and the cut of them laughing side by side when they were classmates at a technical college were painful. The scene where they are talking (probably as friends) is also painful. It's painful, but the moment you realize this fact, another big swamp arises. I can't help but wonder why the two of them decided to part ways.

Those who have read the original story will know, but those who have watched it from the movie version will be more than a little surprised and will want to watch it again from the beginning with what they know. In addition to the music, there was another reason why I wanted to watch it again. When you watch it with the knowledge, various scenes will hit you again. ...... I'm glad I didn't read the original because I enjoyed it both "without knowing" and "with knowing".

4: Quotes and scenes that can't be fully digested in one sitting

If you want to watch the movie without any spoilers, please close this page and enjoy the movie first.

If you want to watch the movie without any spoilers, please close this page and enjoy the movie first. "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is a movie that I simply want to watch again on the big screen of the movie theater. There are so many great lines and scenes that I simply want to see it again on the big screen in the movie theater.

I want to hear that line of Okkotsu's again.

There are so many great scenes that I want to see again. What is it about Okkotsu that allows him to do both cute and cool voices? ...... I mean, what is it about Emi Ogata, ......?

By the way, the line I recommend in the cute section is the one Okkotsu said to Inumaki Toge in the joint mission, "What did you buy?" It's so cute! Isn't that way too cute?

Also, the line that Okkotsu said to Maki, "Let's destroy Zenin family!(禪院家、ぶっ壊そー！)" It''s also cute.

2. You can't watch Rika's last scene without crying.

From "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime official Twitter

"Rika was happier in the last six years than when she was alive."

This line made me cry. I'm sure Rika was just saying what she really felt, but what words of love, forgiveness, and salvation. If it weren't for these words, Okkotsu might have cursed himself, thinking that he caused Rika and many others to suffer.

3. The Okkotsu vs. Getou battle is wonderful.

I've already talked about the music, but the battle between Okkotsu and Getou is so visually and aurally stunning that you really can't take your eyes off it even for a second. I can't get enough of the combination of movement, music, voice and voice. I think this scene will be more enjoyable in a theater that specializes in sound, as I mentioned earlier, and also in a theater that specializes in images, such as IMAX laser or RGB laser. I saw it in an RGB laser theater, and it was very good.

4. The friendship between Okkotsu, Maki, Toge, and Panda is precious!

From the official "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime Twitter

As I mentioned in the sympathy point section, the relationship and friendship between the four students in the same grade (three students and a panda) is wonderful. There's Maki, who's bad-mouthed but can't see the power of the spell but is trying her best to look back at her clan; Thorn, who has difficulty communicating because his only vocabulary is onigiri (rice ball) ingredients but cares about Okkotsu, who's in a similar situation to him; and Panda, who understands everyone and becomes the hub of human relations (even though he's not human)... ....

The heartwarming scenes are good, and the battle scenes where they try to protect each other are also good.

And Okkotsu's "I want to be like Maki, I want to live a strong and straight life" makes me cry.

5. You can see the precious black flash of Nanamin!

From "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" (C) Akutami GEGE / Shueisha, Jujutsu Kaisen Production Committee

Although not in the original story, Kento Nanami, a.k.a. Nanamin, appears in the film version as an original development. In addition, you can see the "four black flashes in a row," which was only mentioned in the original story and anime of "Jujutsu Kaisen. If you're a Nanamin fan who thinks "Nanamin won't be in the movie," go to the movie theater now at ......!

Not only Nanamin, but that person and that person are also active in this movie, so it's a jam of coolness that can't be fully digested in one go.

6. Satoru Gojo's "Six Eyes" are too beautiful.

Although the TV animation was elaborate, the beauty of Gojo Sensei's eyes (the six eyes) was even more pronounced in the movie version, and I felt that the production team was serious. There was a scene where both of his eyes were exposed, and there was also a fight scene with them. I think it's worth going to the cinema just to see the beautiful eyes and the battle between the strongest Gojyo Satoru on the big screen.

Also, many people ask me, "Which lipstick are you using? Her lips are so plump that many people ask, "Which lipstick are you using? (I'm pretty sure there's an enthusiastic Gojo sensei on the production team.)

Also, the lines in the battle scenes that are not in the original story are very cool and very Satoru Gojo.

In conclusion, anyone who wants to be bathed in Satoru Gojo should go to the cinema right now.

7. Takahiro Sakurai and Yuichi Nakamura also paid attention to Maki's 〇〇 blah blah

In the radio, the two of them mentioned that the way Maki avoids the training with Okkotsu and the way she shows it from an angle of her hips was erotic, and I got to see it for the second time. I wonder if this is also someone's obsession.

8. The conversation between Gojo and Getou

Gojo and Getou were originally classmates at Kosen (high school), and were actually best friends.

They used to be very close, but for some reason, they parted company and are now enemies in this work. They are basically talking as enemies, but there is a scene where they are talking as friends. But there is a scene where he seems to be talking as a friend. That scene is so lovely and sad.

I want you to think you've been cheated and see this movie in the theater.

If you are wondering whether to go see this movie or not, I recommend that you go see it while it is still available in theaters.

If you already know the original story from ......, the original story has been animated in a very good way, and the colors, sounds, and movements are definitely worth watching, and the original scenes and dialogues in the movie version are also very good. The original scenes and dialogues in the movie version are also very good, especially Gojo-sensei's dialogues during the battle in Hyakki Yagou, which are not in the original work. There are many scenes where I wondered if I would ever get to see such a cool scene with this character.

I would recommend the movie version to those who have left the anime or the original work halfway through. The story is probably easier to get into than the anime or the original work, so I hope you'll watch the movie version and think you've been cheated.

Now, when should I go see it again?

For those of you who are anime fans, check out the comics from volume 8 onward, which is a continuation of the first season of the anime, to find out what happened to Getou after "Jujutsu Kaisen 0". Also, if you haven't read volumes 8 and 9, which are about the past of Gojo and Getou, please read them before watching the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" again.

I had only seen the anime before I saw the movie and got hooked on it, so I read the original story up to the latest book and saw it for the second time during the year-end and New Year holidays. And now I want to go see it again.

In this article, I would like to talk about the points that make me want to watch "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie" again and again.

In the latter half of the article, I talk about the highlights of the film with full spoilers. The second half of the article is full of spoilers, so please be careful if you haven't watched it yet.

1: A point of sympathy that sticks with ordinary people

The movie version of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," in which Okkotsu is the protagonist, has many more points of empathy that viewers can relate to in their own lives than "Jujutsu Kaisen," in which Kojo is the protagonist. Of course, there are many points of sympathy in "Jujutsu Kaisen" as well, but since the three main characters are heroines with extraordinary, elite, and winning personalities, I felt more like watching something amazing than sympathizing with them, especially in the beginning.

I think the reason why I can relate to "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is because of the main characters, Okkotsu and Maki. Although Okkotsu is a bit out of the norm in a sense, he doesn't know anything about witchcraft at the beginning of the story (the same goes for Kojo), and he wanted to die because he didn't want to hurt the people around him, but he was prevented from doing so and was brought to Gojo.

From the official "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime Twitter

During the battle at the elementary school, which ended up being Okkotsu's first battle as a spellcaster, he is asked by Maki in a pinch: "Okkotsu, are you serious?

In a pinch, Okkotsu is asked by Maki: "Okkotsu, what are you really doing here at the Sorcery College?

What do you want! What do you want! What do you want to achieve!

The answer that came out of Okkotsu's mouth was...

The answer that came from Okkotsu was,

"I want to be related to someone, I want to be needed by someone, I want to have the confidence that it's okay to live."

That was it.

To Okkotsu's answer.

"Then exorcise it, exorcise the curse, exorcise it, exorcise it!”

Then...

"Confidence and others will follow! That's the kind of place the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry is!"

Maki replied.

I personally think that this is the scene where Otokone made up his mind to fight as a spellcaster, and at the same time, it is the scene that brings sympathy to the viewers. I'm sure that there are many people who can't use spells, but want to be needed by others or want to have confidence in themselves. I am one of them, so I sympathized with Okkotsu's words and was encouraged by Maki's words. I don't mean to "exorcise" you, but if you keep doing what you can, if you keep doing and doing and doing, your confidence and others will come. Those words really stuck with me.

From the TV anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" episode 17 (C) Akutami GEGE / Shueisha, Jujutsu Kaisen Production Committee

At least if you have watched the anime, or even if you haven't watched the anime, if you watch the movie to the end, you will understand that Maki-san must have believed that and continued to do so. Maki's episode is also in the anime, but it was told in a much cooler and more relaxed way. Maybe it was because the scene with Okkotsu was an emergency, or maybe it was because she was feeling frustrated watching Okkotsu, but Maki's words were more passionate and touched my heart.

And also, I love the way Okkotsu's face and movements change as he becomes more and more determined. ...... The best part of the story is that Okkotsu recognizes and respects the good qualities of each of the three people in his grade, and the three of them worry, care and inspire Okkotsu in their own ways, and try to fight for each other. These four people (three people and one animal) are the best. ......

2: The music is SUPER good

I think one of the charms of this work is the good music. I saw it the first time at the regular screening and the second time at the Live Zone in Kawasaki Cinecitta because the music was so good.

Personally, I would like to recommend the background music "Greatest Strength" that plays at the beginning of the film, in the morning scene when Okkotsu enters the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At first, I thought it was a beautiful song, but then a woman's voice came in, then a man's voice, and the number of notes increased and it became more powerful and emotional. The song seemed to express the fate that awaited Okkotsu, and it made my heart tremble.

After the first viewing, I was impressed by the heavy bass of the battle scene, but when I went to see the second viewing, I remembered once again how wonderful the music was. The music lifted my spirits and I felt myself being drawn into the story of the film. There are many films that have impressive endings and climaxes, but it is rare that the beginning of a film leaves such a strong impression. It made me want to go back to the cinema several times just to experience this feeling.

Needless to say, the heavy bass of the rock music during the battle scenes and the scenes explaining the spell is also very cool. In particular, the battle between Okkotsu and Getou, combined with the battle scenes where the spell power clashes, gave me the most realistic feeling. If you can, I highly recommend you see it at least once in a movie theater with good sound quality.

The two songs by King Gnu, "Gyakumu（逆夢）" and "Ichizu(一途）", were also excellent. The music and lyrics of both songs are great, and of course they seem to be about the relationship between Okkotsu and Rika, but after watching the movie version and looking at the lyrics again, first in "Gyakumu" and then in "Ichizu(一途）", there are elements that make me think, "Isn't this about Getou? It's even better that there are elements that make me think, "Isn't this about Getou? What a big swamp .......

the 3rd & 4th reasons to watch is here!

What did the most powerful sorcerer of our time say when he had to kill his irreplaceable best friend with his own hands?

On December 24, 2021, "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie" was released. The film is based on "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Tokyo Metropolitan College of Witchcraft and Wizardry", a prequel to "Jujutsu Kaisen", which is currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump".

As I watched the movie, trying to suppress my desire to go crazy with excitement, I felt that the story and the composition were basically in line with the original work, although the Hyakki Yakou scene was altered. However, the angle of one important scene was very different from the original.

That is the scene where Gojo gives his last words to Getou.

Of course, we know that it would be foolish to think about Gojo's words, which are intentionally left silent, and to speculate about various things. However, I can't help but feel that the deliberate change of composition from the original work to show the mouth contains a message from Gojo and the filmmakers that they want us to read their words.

In this article, I will examine Gojo's last words to Getou, using such excuses as a shield.

⚠️This article contains serious elements related to "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie". This article contains important information about "Jujutsu Kaisen 0", especially for those who have not seen it.

＞＞＞Related article] Why I think "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie" is the best love story ever

What is the difference between the original story and the movie?

The first thing I'd like to discuss is the new revelation of the scene in the movie.

In the original story,

Gojo's back and Getou's face were visible. And Gojo's line was expressed as "――", and Getou, who was spoken to, had a surprised or dumbfounded expression on her face.

On the other hand, in the film, Gojo's mouth is shown as he speaks firmly. The difference is that "Gojo's words are not that long (perhaps four or five words?). The difference revealed that Gojo's words were not that long (perhaps four or five words?) and that his mouth moved when he said his lines.

Also, the author, Mr. Akutami GEGE, said that Gojo's line was "said in volume 0" when asked in the Q&A. Based on the above factors, I have three candidates for the line.

"I'm your best friend".

From the "Jujutsu Kaisen" manga

I'm your best friend" is an excerpt from a line Gojo says when asked about Getou, "My best friend, my only one”.

As his last words, Getou muttered, "At least spit out a curse word in your last breath. In other words, Gojyo's words to the betrayed Getou must have been words with a positive meaning. In fact, he says this line to Okkotsu right after the scene, which is a perfect connection.

However, when Getou is told that he is her best friend, will he have that expression on his face that says he is out of sync? It is true that he would be surprised, but I feel that the look on his face, as if he is looking at something strange, is a little strange.

Also, saying "I'm your best friend" immediately after calling out "Jie" would be unreasonable in the context.

"Welcome back"

When Okkotsu returns home from his first mission with Maki, Gojyo says to him, "Welcome home, you did your best”.

On the day of the final battle of the film, the Hyakki Yakou, Getou comes to the College of Spellcraft. For him, as a former student, the college is his old home. Therefore, it is quite possible that he said "Welcome back" to the school.

Many fans who actually watched the movie said that the movement of his mouth looked like "welcome back". However, I feel that "welcome back" is too localized in its meaning. Even if it means "I'm back at the Jujutsu high school" or "Everything is over and we're friends again," a more general phrase would be appropriate for the final scene. Also, if he said "welcome back," it seemed unnecessary to mute the line.

"I love you."

If you've read this far, you'll know that I'm really interested in this "I love you".

The reason why I chose "I love you", which is taken from Okkotsu's "I love you, Rika", as my first choice is because I felt that the theme of the work is "curse = love".

In the work, Gojo said to Okkotsu, "There is no curse as distorted as love. And Okkotsu realizes that his love is cursing Rika, and succeeds in lifting her curse.

Getouu muttered at the end of the story, "You should at least utter a curse at the end of your life. If we read deeper, we can see that Gojo was implicitly uttering curse words. He may have said "I love you" as a curse of affection to Getou at the end.

If Gojo had suddenly told her "I love you," Getou's expression would have made sense. Getou's daily life is filled with conflicts, and Gojo would have understood his feelings. Just as Okkotsu released "I love you" Rika, Gojo may have spoken the curse words with the intention of releasing "I love you" Getou.

Finally

From the "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime official Twitter

In this article, I mainly focused on the last scene between Gojo and Getou, but the movie itself was also great, to say the least. The story is a prequel to "Jujutsu Kaisen", so even those who haven't touched the original or the anime can enjoy the story.

Whether you have read the original or not, I hope you will enjoy the flashy action and the agony of Okkotsu and Getou in the theater. After watching the movie, you will definitely want to think about Gojo's words.

In this article, I have tried to consider the last words of Gojo, but it is okay if the three candidates I have mentioned are not the correct answers.

It doesn't matter if the three candidates I've mentioned are not the right answers, because only the two of them, "Satoru and Suguru," should know the last words that were really exchanged.

The original scene cut of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie," which is currently being screened from December 24 (Fri.), 2021, has been released!!!

In addition, the second half of a two-years trilogy by Mikako Komatsu, Kouki Uchiyama, and Tomokazu Seki has been released.

Jujutsu Kaisen" is a manga by Akutami Shita that is currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (published by Shueisha). It centers around the "Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Jujutsu" where people with the talent to exorcise curses are gathered, and depicts a unique worldview where humans, curses, and the schemes of jujutsu masters swirl around.

The TV anime series based on this work has been aired since October 2020, and both the original work and the anime continue to create a huge movement.

The first film adaptation of this work, "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie," was released on December 24 (Fri.), the day of the "Nigh March of the Hundred Demons," and is currently showing as a big hit.

On January 13 (Thu), 21 days after its release, the film became a huge hit with an audience of 5.89 million and box office revenue of over 8 billion yen.

In addition, the second part of the "Two Years" trilogy, featuring Mikako Komatsu as Maki Satonin, Koki Uchiyama as Toge Inumaki, and Tomokazu Seki as Panda, which was released recently, has also arrived. They talk about the action scenes, which are the main attraction of this work.

Regarding the action scenes throughout the film, Uchiyama said, "Of course the action scenes are of a high level, but it was also interesting to see the different fighting styles of the characters. Maki would use a cleaver-like spell tool, Okkotsu would use sword action, and Panda would use fisticuffs. The atmosphere of the battle changes depending on these differences, so I never got bored watching it.

Seki said, "The action scenes were so powerful from the beginning that I was wondering what would happen at the end if they continued at this pace. I thought that the same level of action scenes might be boring. But in the end, it got so intense that I didn't know what was going on, and I was able to enjoy it because it had a good balance.

Regarding the original scene of Nanami, Mei Mei and Kyoto School members, which was not depicted in the original movie, Komatsu said, "I thought it was a good scene because it showed that when everyone was working hard in Tokyo, Kyoto School members were also fighting. Also, ...... Nanamin is sly!　I'm so jealous of her, she took all the good scenes away from me. (laughs) Mei Mei is also wielding a big weapon. He was so dashing and cool! He seemed to feel the charm of the original scene in the movie.

Spoiler Commentary & Discussion "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" What happened to Satoru Gojo and Suguru Getou in the past? What are the differences in ideology and what do they have in common?

The movie version "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is a big hit in theaters!

Here is the official trailer! very cool!

The theatrical version of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" which started its theatrical release from December 24 (Fri.), 2021, recorded a big hit start, and as of the first day of release, Toho, the distributor of the film, announced that the box office revenue will surely exceed 10 billion yen. If the box-office revenue surpasses 10 billion yen, the name "Jujutsu Kaisen" will be engraved in the history of anime films, following "Demon Slayer(Kimetsu) The Movie: Infinite Train" (2020) and "Shin Evangelion: The Movie" (2021).

While it was a huge hit, one of the most appealing aspects of "Jujutsu Kaisen" was the character portrayal that depicted the delicate emotions between the characters. In particular, the relationship between Satoru Gojo and Suguru Getou, which is the first time it has been portrayed in depth in a film, is the biggest highlight of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," along with the story of the main character Yuuta Okkotsu.

In this article, I will explain the background of Gojo and Getou as depicted in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0". Please note that the following contains spoilers for the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" and the comics "Jujutsu Kaisen" volume 8 and 9. It does not contain any spoilers for volume 10 or later of the comics, so please read it as a prep for the second season of the anime.

Spoiler Warning

The following contains spoilers for the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" and the comics "Jujutsu Kaisen" Vol. 8 & 9.

Gojo and Getou in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0

The movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is a story about……

about the "curse" between Yuta Okkotsu and Rika, but also about Gojo and Getou. At the end of the film, Gojo consoled Okkotsu by saying that Getou would have attacked even if Okkotsu and Rika had not come to the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main reason why Okkotsu had to fight Getou was because of Gojo and Getou's past.

In the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0", this story was not depicted in depth, but there were several cuts that hinted at the past of Gojo and Getou. This is the content of the "past chapter" in the 8th and 9th volumes of the comic, and is probably a new scene for anime fans. The movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" can be enjoyed more if you watch it with the contents of the 8th and 9th volumes of the comics, which are located after the first season of the anime.

The story in the eighth and ninth volumes of the manga takes place when Satoru Gojo and Suguru Getou were both second-year students at the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While the main story of "Jujutsu Kaisen" takes place in 2018 and beyond, and "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" takes place in 2016-2017, the eighth and ninth volumes of the manga take place in 2006-2007. This is exactly 10 years before "Jujutsu Kaisen 0".

Jujutsu Kaisen" Comics Vol. 8(Amazon)

Jujutsu Kaisen" Comics Vol. 9(Amazon)

Gojo and Getou in the 8th and 9th volumes of the comic.

Gojo and Getou, who were the "strongest" students at a spellcraft college, are ordered to escort Riko, a star-shaped body that is destined to be assimilated by Tengen, who protects the spellcraft world with wards. While Q, a group of curse masters, and Banseikyo, a religious group that regards Tengen as absolute, target Riko, Gojo and Getou fight the curse masters and even fly to Okinawa to protect Riko and her precious things. The recollections of Gojo and Getou that appear in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" include memories of this trip to Okinawa.

The two of them defy the witchcraft world, which tries to sacrifice the individual for the greater good, but are prevented from this mission by Touji Fushiguro,, who has no magical power and is hired by the Banseikyo, a group of non-jurors. In addition, after the Riko incident, Getou has obtained a 3rd level spell spirit that can store the spell tools that Touji Fushiguro, was controlling. The spell spirit that always peeks out from Getou's right shoulder after "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is the one that Touji Fushiguro, used to use.

And after the battle with Touji Fushiguro,, Gojo walks with Riko's remains in his arms. What remained in Getou's mind was the sight of the cruel and "innocent" followers of the Banseki cult, who looked at the corpse of the girl and applauded with smiles without understanding anything. Surprisingly, it was Gojyo who harbored the desire to kill ordinary people at that time. When Getou says that there is no point in killing ordinary people, Gojo questions the necessity of "meaning". Even so, Getou insisted that meaning was necessary for a sorcerer, and discouraged Gojo from crossing the line.

When Gojyo was ordered to protect Riko, he had planned to defy Tengen and rebel against the witchcraft world in the worst case scenario. At that time, it was Gojo who was in danger, and Getou was in a position to calmly apply the brakes. This is also depicted in volume 8. Getou advises Gojo that "survival of the weak" is the way society should be, while Gojo complains that it is tiring to care about the weak people at the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," Gojo appears as a teacher at a jujutsu high school and Getou as the boss of a jujutsu master.

Jujutsu Kaisen" Comics Vol. 8(Amazon)

Jujutsu Kaisen" Comics Vol. 9(Amazon)

Why did Getou become a jujutsu master?

In the 9th volume of "Jujutsu Kaisen," we see the two one year later, and Gojo is running up the stairs to "the strongest" on his own. On the other hand, Getou, who has been spending more and more time alone, continues to exorcise the spirits of the spell and take them into his own body, and begins to wonder who he is playing this "marathon game" for.

He begins to wonder who he is playing this "marathon game" for. Then, Yuki Tsukumo, a special class spellcaster, appears and teaches Getou two ways to eliminate curses from the world as a "cure for the cause", which has a great influence on him later. It was a choice between eliminating the curse from all of humanity or allowing all of humanity to control the curse. Getou came to the conclusion that the latter could be achieved by "killing all the non-jurors," but at that time, he was advised by 99 that it was up to him to decide whether or not that would be his "true intention.

In other words, when it comes to the question of whether the "strong" spellcasters should continue to fight for the "weak" non-spellcasters, Gojo and Getou had a "choice" that could go either way.

They had "options" that could go either way. In the past, Gojo was the one who showed danger, but as a result, Getou became more devoted to the idea of killing people who do not have spells. This is also the reason why Getou despises Maki, who has no spell power, whom he met in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0".

While Gojo becomes a top-ranking player in the industry on his own, his fellow spellcasters are getting hurt and dying in front of Getou's eyes. As Getou suspects that the "marathon game" is building peace on the corpses of the sorcerers, a final triggering event befalls him.

In the village where he was on a mission, Getou witnessed the abuse of two girls who possessed magical powers. As a result, Getou chose to massacre 112 villagers. The two girls who were abused at that time were Nanako and Minako, and the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" depicts them ten years later at the age of 15. The two girls follow Getou, their benefactor, and in the scene where they talk about their debt to Getou in Hyakki Yakou, a scene from their abusive relationship in volume 9 of the comics is inserted as a reminiscence.

BTW, Hyakki Yakou's image is like this

Satoru Gojo's Choice

Getou, who has become a juju master, declares to Gojyo that he will "equally" treat his parents, who were non-juju masters, and create a world of only juju masters. Getou, who has always said that "meaning" is necessary, says that there is even a "cause" for the path he will take. In other words, by erasing the non-jurors, he will eliminate the curse and end the war of the juju. This is the reason why Getou threw his "cause" against Okkotsu's "pure love" at the end of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0".

At this time, Getou tells Gojo that Satoru Gojo can achieve Getou's goal. Getou is indeed strong, but his technique is a spell manipulation technique that manipulates spells and spirits, and it will take time if he wants to take on the entire human race. On the other hand, Gojo, who is a user of the no-lower-limit spell that creates "infinity," can easily massacre people.

Getou tells Gojo that he can kill him if he wants to, but Gojo chooses to let Getou go. In fact, Gojo's choice at this time is a rejection of Getou's idea. If the "strongest" Gojo kills and stops Getou based on his own idea, it is the same as Getou's action principle that the strong can choose to kill or let the weak live. Even though they have different goals of protecting the non-jurors and protecting the jugglers, they both accept Getou's rule of "the strong against the weak.

On the other hand, the main reason why Gojo could not kill Getou was probably because he was his best friend. Getou witnessed the ugliness of the non-sorcerer and could not believe in the possibility of human change. However, Gojo never gave up hope for Getou. This would be the decisive difference between Getou and Gojo. It is not the theory that the strong dominate the weak, but that people sometimes believe in others because they are their best friends.

However, when Gojo misses Getou, Getou becomes the guru of a new religious group based on the remnants of Banseki Kyo. In "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," Getou, now the guru, calls people without magical powers "monkeys" and treats them as tools to collect curses and money.

Gojo, on the other hand, believes that even the "strongest" person could not save Getou, and decides to go into education. In addition to Tengen's assimilation of Riko as a sacrifice, Gojo and Getou have in common that they did not think that the unreasonable situation of the witchcraft world and the situation of the witchcraft practitioners could be left as it was. This is evident in Gojo's consistent attitude towards the bigwigs.

However, Gojo's choice was to protect the sorcerers and change the sorcerer's world by defying the "higher-ups" instead of targeting the weaker ones if the sorcerers were being treated unreasonably.

What Gojo and Getou show us

In "Jujutsu Kaisen 0", Gojo finishes off the wounded Getou. Why did Gojo, who missed Getou 10 years ago, finish him off this time? Why did Gojo, who overlooked Getou ten years ago, stop him this time? Was it because he had started to harm the students? Did he give up on Getou once he believed in her potential?

The true meaning was probably in his last words to her. At the very least, it is true that those words were not words of curse. Gojyo also referred to Getou as his "best friend" to the end, even to Okkotsu. Perhaps there was something that only the two of them could understand.

Also, the expression "marathon game" mentioned by Getou is the theme of the work "Jujutsu Kaisen" itself. One of the themes of this work is not to seek a specific goal or target, but to figure out how to view this "marathon game" and how to resist it. Gojo and Getou show the answer to this theme as two people with conflicting yet coexisting emotions.

As 99 suggests, Getou's path and Gojo's path both exist in an indeterminate state in everyone's mind, and in the end, one can only choose for oneself. However, the story of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" shows that whichever path is chosen, it cannot be solved by the theory of power. That is why Getou's "cause" is defeated before Okkotsu's "pure love" that comes from a different vector than ideology, and Gojo tries to achieve his goal through education.

In this way, the story of Gojo and Getou provides an answer to the ideology of "selection" and "eugenics," which is also prevalent in the real world, and also shows the limits of solving problems by force. The story of people who think about their own power and choose their own way of life is what makes "Jujutsu Kaisen" so interesting.

For those of you who are anime fans, check out the comics from volume 8 onward, which is a continuation of the first season of the anime, to find out what happened to Getou after "Jujutsu Kaisen 0". Also, if you haven't read volumes 8 and 9, which are about the past of Gojo and Getou, please read them before watching the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" again. You will be able to better understand the special feelings between Gojo and Getou.

The movie "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is finally released!

The first theatrical animation of the dark fantasy battle manga "Jujutsu Kaisen" (2018-) by Shimosa Akutami, "Jujutsu Kaisen the Movie 0" was released on December 24, 2021 (Fri.). Jujutsu Kaisen" is a very popular series that depicts the battles of sorcerers who exorcise spirits. The anime version of the series is also very popular overseas, as it was selected as the best work at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2021, following "Onimei no Blade" the previous year.

Here is the official trailer!

The long-awaited anime film "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is based on the 2017 prequel "Tokyo Metropolitan College of Witchcraft and Wizardry" (later published as "Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 0: Tokyo Metropolitan College of Witchcraft and Wizardry"). However, the last part of the story has an unexpected description. In this article, I'll explain how the last part of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie" unfolds and the scene after the end roll, with spoilers.

The following contains spoilers regarding the ending of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie", so please make sure to watch the movie before reading this article.

Spoiler Warning

The following contains spoilers regarding the ending of the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen: The Movie 0".

Getou's "Night of the Hundred Demons" and Gojo's decision

Getou Suguru夏油傑（げとう すぐる）, who despises non-sorcerers as "monkeys," executes "Hyakki Yakou," in which he releases countless spells in Shinjuku, Tokyo and Kyoto. This general attack had been declared in advance to be carried out on December 24, 2017, so Gojo Satoru and the other spellcasters were on the defensive in their respective cities.

However, Getou's real goal is to get hold of Rika Praymoto, a special grade super-spellbound grudge spirit who has possessed Yuuta Okotsu. Getou leaves Ookotsu and Maki Zen'in behind and raids the empty Tokyo school by himself, seriously injuring Maki first.

On the other hand, Gojo hears from Ijichi the results of an additional investigation into Yuuta Okkotsu's background and sends Panda and Inumaki Toge to Okkotsu. As will be revealed later, it was at this time that Ijichi informed Gojo that Okkotsu's ancestor was Sugawara no Michizane, one of Japan's three greatest grudge-holding spirits and a very powerful sorcerer who was also Gojo's ancestor.

Legend has it that Michizane Sugawara was a real person in the early Heian period (794-1185) who was a brilliant scholar, but was relegated after being accused of treason against the Emperor, and later became a grudge-holder. In today's Japan, he is known as "Tenma Taisai Tenjin" and is regarded as a god of learning.

When Gojo realizes that Okkotsu Yuta himself, not Rika, possesses a powerful power, he sends Panda and Goumaki to the technical college on the assumption that they will be killed by Getou. He thought that if Getou harmed Panda and Goumaki, it would awaken Okkotsu's true power. At the same time, Gojo knew that Getou would not kill Panda and Goumaki. This point is based on the contents of the past chapter of Gojo and Getou, which will be described later.

Yuuta and Rika's "pure love".

Yuta Okkotsu, who confronts the special class curse maker Jie Getou, challenges him to a battle together with Rika. Getou dislikes the idea of "strong" spellcasters fighting for "weak" non-spellcasters, and is trying to create a world of only spellcasters, which he tells Okkotsu about. While Okkotsu has made friends at the College of Witchcraft and Wizardry and gained the power of self-affirmation, Getou produces the "Uzumaki," which combines 4,461 of his special class virtual grudge spirits into one, and tries to hit Okkotsu with it.

On the other hand, Okkotsu, who has made up his mind to stop Getou, promises to give his life to Rika and die with her with words of love and kiss. Then, Okkotsu's body is sacrificed to lift the restriction of Rika's spell power.

It is noteworthy that until this scene, Okkotsu's words to Rika were in the form of commands. Okkotsu had thought that he was cursed by Rika, that is, bound to her, but it was the other way around: it was Okkotsu who was holding Rika in this world, that is, binding her. When Rika showed her jealousy of Maki, Okkotsu showed a DV-like attitude, and at this point, the true master-servant relationship between the two was clearly shown. As Gojo said, "There is no curse as distorted as love".

I wonder if Rika's protection of Okkotsu up until now was in response to his demands and fears. In the end, however, Okkotsu himself promised to give his life to Rika and die with her, lifting the curse that Okkotsu had placed on Rika in the accident, "You can't die. On the other hand, Okkotsu, who had made the "binding" of offering his life, gained the maximum power from Rika and overpowered Getou.

Okkotsu and Getou clash the power of "pure love" and "cause" respectively. The clash between "love and thought" and "two people and the world" went in favor of the former. Afterwards, the spell is lifted and Rika becomes a Buddha. Okkotsu no longer needs to sacrifice himself.

The sentimental attitude of Yuta Okkotsu toward the world and his continuous calls for "You can't die" at the end of the story remind me of Shinji Ikari, the main character of the "Evangelion" series. This is true to the original story, but in the theatrical anime version of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," Emi Ogata, the same actress who played Shinji, plays the voice of Yuta Okkotsu, which makes the story more "Eva" conscious.

Also, in the first season of the anime version of "Jujutsu Kaisen", Rika's spell breaking is mentioned. In episode 14, there is a conversation about the previous year's exchange meeting between the Tokyo and Kyoto schools. Maki tells Kugisaki Nobara that the previous year's exchange meeting in Kyoto was attended only by Okkotsu from the first year students at the time, and that the Tokyo school won the exchange meeting because it was before Rika's spell was lifted. The first episode of the first season of the anime version of "Jujutsu Kaisen" starts only half a year after "Jujutsu Kaisen 0".

The end of Gojo and Getou

Getou, who was defeated by Okkotsu, had lost his right arm and had not yet abandoned his "cause". However, Satoru Gojo appears. He reveals his intention to send Panda and Gomaki, and says that he "trusts" Getou, saying that he will not kill the young magician without a reason.

The trust developed between Gojyo and Getou is based on the contents of the past volumes of comics 8 and 9, which were published after the first season of the anime. In "Jujutsu Kaisen 0", scenes from Volumes 8 and 9 are inserted as flashbacks, suggesting that the two have spent time together and have gone through a major incident to reach their current relationship.

I wonder if this will be depicted in the second season of the anime. If you want to check it out first, read the 8th and 9th volumes of the comics. The way you look at Gojo and Getou in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" will change dramatically.

Gojo says something to Getouu after she says her last words, "In this world, I couldn't laugh from the bottom of my heart. This scene is silent, and even in the original comic, it is not clear what Gojo said to Getou. Even so, the fact that there was a 15-second pause in the movie version, as opposed to the comic version where two lines were withheld, shows that Gojo was saying something quite long.

In response, Getouu laughs bitterly and says, "At least spit out a curse word at the end". Since Gojo understands that words of love are a curse, it is not hard to imagine that he chose his words so as not to curse Getou and so that Getou would not become a grudge.

In the original comic, the line "At least spit out a curse word at the end" and the sound of the curse word are in one frame, but in the film version, there is a certain pause before the sound of the curse word is heard. In the film version, there is a certain pause before the sound of the tome is heard, which shows Gojo's hesitation.

At the end of the film, when Gojo gives Okkotsu's student ID card back to Getou, he refers to the person who picked it up as "my best friend, my one and only friend," indicating that Gojo did not hold a grudge against Getou until the end. On the other hand, Okkotsu's gaze was on Maki and the other three best friends.

After the end roll...

The problem was the post-credit scene that was inserted after the end roll (end credits). What was shown was a savannah with zebras and other animals, and a foreign city. In the city, Miguel is feeding something to Yuta Okkotsu. However, he is concerned about someone else's presence, "He must have really left," he says. The two of them are showing off their friendship, saying, "It's really good, it's like meat and potatoes," and "Call it beef stew," when a person arrives.

It was Satoru Gojo. To their surprise, Gojo says, "It's been a long time," and that's when "Spellbound 0" truly comes to an end. This scene does not appear in the original comic, so it is a bonus only for the movie version.

But in fact, Gojo's trip abroad appears in both the comics and the first season of the anime. In episode 32 of volume 4 of the comics and episode 14 of the first season of the anime, before the exchange meeting, Gojo says he was on a business trip overseas and hands out "a certain tribal amulet" to the students of the Kyoto school.

The "talisman of a certain tribe" reminds me of the spell tool Miguel used when he confronted Gojo in the Hyakki Yagyo (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) in Shinjuku in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0".

the image of Hyakki Yakou is like this( this is "Kimetsu" thou)

He succeeded in stalling Gojo for a certain period of time with a special rope that his own country's spellcaster had spent decades weaving into a single rope.

Gojo says he was on a business trip overseas, but he was probably there to see Miguel and Okkotsu. The "amulet of a certain tribe" that he brought back is predicted to be a similar type of item to the spell tool Miguel was using. Gojo must have thought highly of that spell tool because it had stopped him in his tracks. Also, in the 33rd episode of the 4th volume of the comic, "Kyoto Sister Schools Exchange Meeting, Team 0," right after Gojo's "overseas business trip" comment, Miguel and Okkotsu appear in the door picture as if they are overseas. The tree in the background looks like a baobab tree, which grows in Africa.

In other words, the scene after the end roll of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is thought to be a scene from the time when the main character of "Jujutsu Kaisen", Yuji Itadori, was working with Kento Nanami. In the original "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" comic, the author Akutami Shimotsu wrote on the last page that "Miguel is the MVP of the Hyakki Yagyo" and "Miguel will have a hard time in the future because of this...", and also depicted Gojo smiling with a "grin". Miguel, who stopped Gojo, the strongest sorcerer in the world, must have been recognized by Gojo.

And why Gojo went abroad and what he talked to Miguel and Okkotsu about will be depicted in the second season of the anime. In the comics, the first season of the anime covered the middle of volume 8. As mentioned above, the past volumes 8 and 9 that follow will lead to the description of the relationship between Gojo and Getou in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0". Then, from the end of volume 9, the story returns to the present and depicts the story after the last episode of the first season of the anime.

The story of Gojo and Getou based on the contents of Volumes 8 and 9 is explained in this article.

In this article, I will explain the story of Gojo and Getou based on what was said in volume 8 and 9.

The start of the second season of the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" has not yet been announced as of the release date of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie". If you can't wait to find out the truth about the scene after the end roll of the movie, check out the comics, the latest volume 18 of which was published on December 25 (Sat).

The latest volume 18 of the "Jujutsu Kaisen" comics will be released on Saturday, December 25, 2021 (IN JAPAN!).

The original comic book for the film version, "Jujutsu Kaisen, Volume 0: Tokyo Metropolitan College of Witchcraft and Wizardry," is now on sale.

Vol.1 is here.

Where are the locations that were used as models for the setting of the movie "Spirited Away"?

Studio Ghibli's immortal masterpiece, "Spirited Away," tells the story of a 10-year-old girl, Chihiro, who wanders into the world of the gods and struggles to save her parents from being transformed by a witch.

The mysterious world depicted in the movie and the bathhouse "Aburaya" run by Yubaba are very attractive. Many people must be wondering where the model location and hot spring inns are.

In this article, we will introduce the locations officially recognized by Ghibli, as well as many other places and inns that are rumored to have been used as models. This is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience the fantastic world of "Spirited Away"!

Q&A on the model of the movie "Spirited Away

What is the official Ghibli model for "Spirited Away"?

The official model for "Spirited Away" is the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum in Tokyo. Director Hayao Miyazaki said that there is no specific model for Aburaya because it contains various hot springs, but the art director drew the exterior of Aburaya by referring to the architecture of Dogo（道後温泉） Hot Spring and Nikko Toshogu Shrine（日光東照宮）. Incidentally, Jiufen in Taiwan is not an official location.

Are there any hot spring inns that look exactly like Yubaba's Aburaya?

There are hot spring inns in various parts of Japan that have the atmosphere of Aburaya (unofficially). This article introduces various inns that look just like Aburaya, from Sekizenkan（積善館） in Shima Onsen, Gunma（群馬・四万温泉）, with its impressive red bridge, to Kanagariya in Shibu Onsen, Nagano（長野・渋温泉「金具屋」）, with its Aburaya-like appearance, to Genroku Ryoron Aburaya in Yubara Onsen, Okayama（岡山・湯原温泉の「元禄旅籠 油屋」）, with the same name.

In this article, I will introduce you to various inns that look just like Aburaya.

Jiufen, Taiwan[The atmosphere of a bathhouse and entertainment district]

Jiufen, Taiwan is the most famous model for "Spirited Away". Unfortunately, it is not officially recognized as a model by Ghibli, but it has become a topic of conversation because of its resemblance to an oil shop and the surrounding entertainment district.

Jiufen, called "Jioufen" in the local language, is a town in Ruifang District(新北市瑞芳区xīn běi shì ruì fāng qū), New Taipei City, near the port city in northern Taiwan. It became famous when it was introduced as the setting for a movie, and became a popular spot visited by many Japanese tourists. The many signs, the maze of alleys, and the food stalls that line the streets create a nostalgic atmosphere.

Is there a teahouse in Jiufen that is the model for the oil shop?

It is rumored that the Ah Mei Tea House(阿妹茶樓(阿妹茶酒館)) in Jiufen is the model for the oil shop owned by Yubaba. Although it is not an officially approved location by Ghibli, the store with its red lanterns glamorously lit is just like an oil shop at night.

This is a place where you can taste the real tea, with the staff giving you a lecture on tea etiquette. There are also terrace seats, so it will be nice to drink tea outside during the warmer months. The place is always crowded with Ghibli fans from all over the world and Japanese tourists.

[Ghibli's official filming location] Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Museum in Tokyo

The Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Museum in Koganei City, Tokyo is officially recognized by Studio Ghibli as a place that was "heavily referenced" in the making of "Spirited Away".

The museum is divided into several zones, and the east zone, where the Kodakara-yu building is located, is lined with merchant houses from the Edo and Taisho eras, reminiscent of the streets where Spirited Away and her parents wandered.

Is this the public bath that was the model for the oil shop? Kodakara-yu

Kodakara-yu is a public bathhouse built in 1929 in Senju-Motomachi, Adachi-ku, Tokyo. It was built in 1929 in Senju Motomachi, Adachi-ku, Tokyo. It certainly reminds me of the bathhouse in "Spirited Away".

The building was supposed to be torn down in 1988, but it was restored and preserved at Tatemonoen, and it still looks the same today.

Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum (Edo-Tokyo Museum Branch)

Built in 1927 in Chiyoda Ward, Takei Sanshodo used to be a stationery store. The outside of the building alone is wonderfully nostalgic, but inside, the wooden shelves that cover the walls look just like the boiler room where Kamaji works in "Spirited Away"! In the movie, the shelves are filled with various items.

In the movie, the shelves were filled with various kinds of medicinal herbs, but I was told that Takei Sanshodo houses brushes.

[Official model of the exterior of the bathhouse] Dogo Onsen Honkan in Ehime

Dogo Onsen Honkan" in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture is also said to be a model for the Aburaya. According to the official Twitter feed of Friday Roadshow, art director Yoji Takeshige said, "I visited Dogo Onsen on a Ghibli company trip and used it as a reference when drawing the exterior of the Aburaya".

Dogo Onsen has a long history and is said to be the oldest hot spring in Japan, mentioned in the Chronicles of Japan, and there is even a document that Prince Shotoku visited it. It is also associated with Soseki Natsume's "Botchan," so it is also known locally as Botchan Onsen. (this novel is free to read on amazon!)

The Dogo Onsen Honkan, a historical building constructed before World War II, was designated as a national important cultural property in 1994. The multi-storied structure made of wood certainly seems to have greatly influenced the appearance of Aburaya.

The model for the interior view of the luxurious bathhouse? Meguro Gajoen" in Tokyo

The Hotel Gajoen Tokyo (formerly Meguro Gajoen), a well-known hotel and wedding hall, is said to have been the model for the luxurious interior of the bathhouse.

Meguro Gajoen was the first wedding hall built in Japan, and it is a gorgeous building with a solemn atmosphere. Surrounded by paintings and artworks from the walls to the ceiling, the room is a sight to behold.

The banquet hall where Kaonasi goes on a rampage

In the movie, Kaonasi runs amok in the luxurious banquet hall of an oil store, and Meguro Gajoen is the perfect place to experience this atmosphere.

Meguro Gajoen is said to have been used as a model for the movie, especially the 100-step staircase, which is designated as a tangible cultural property by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. It is the only wooden structure in the building, with 99 flights of wooden stairs and a ceiling decorated with fan paintings.

The Red Bridge Leading to the Bathhouse] Sekizenkan, Shima Onsen, Gunma

Sekizenkan, located in Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture, is one of the hot spring inns that may have been used as a reference for the painting of the yuya. As you can see in the photo, there is a small red bridge right in front of the inn, which gives you a sense of separation between the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Sekizenkan is a long-established onsen ryokan that has been around since the Edo period (1603-1868), and the architecture of the main building, which has been designated as an important cultural property, is particularly noteworthy. With Western-style arched windows, the spa is not purely Japanese-style, but has a nostalgic design that evokes a sense of romance.

That red bridge that Chihiro and Haku cross

Although Sekizenkan is not an officially recognized location, this bridge looks very similar to the one that Spirited Away crossed while holding her breath with Haku's hand in the beginning of the movie.

If you hold your breath and cross the bridge like Spirited Away, you might be able to get lost in the world of Spirited Away.

It is one of the hot spring inns in Shibu Onsen and is designated as a registered tangible cultural property. The building, called Saigetsuro, has a long history of 250 years, and it looks fantastic when lit up at night.

A bathhouse visited by the gods

In Nagano Prefecture, there is also the "Frost Moon Festival in Toyama" where water is boiled in cauldrons set up at shrines and dedicated to the gods. There is a story that the setting of "Spirited Away", where the gods are bathed, was inspired by this festival.

The name "Aburaya" originated from the fact that the inn kept on welcoming travelers with oil for the lanterns and providing oil for the lamps along the way, so it came to be called "Aburaya. You can see that this name has been familiar to people for a long time.

Movie ”Spirited Away”: Haku's true identity is Chihiro’s brother? What is the origin of Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi?

Haku in "Spirited Away”

Haku is one of the most popular male characters in Ghibli movies. In this article, I'll explain five questions about Haku, such as his real name, his true identity, and what happened to him!

From his unexpected relationship with Spirited Away to the horrifying urban legend that he was torn into eight pieces, what is the truth behind ......?

This article is intended for viewers of "Spirited Away" and contains important spoilers. Please read it after watching the movie!

Table of Contents

First of all, let's review about Haku

Question 1: Who is Haku after all?

How did Haku know about Chihiro?

Question 3: What is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi?

What happened to Haku after that?

Is it true that there is a fantastic last scene?

The voice actor is Miyu Irino.

How to make "Spirited Away" more interesting by unraveling the mystery of Haku!

First, let's take a look at Haku.

Haku is a mysterious and beautiful boy who works for the greedy witch Yubaba at the "Aburaya" where the gods visit. He looks to be about 12 years old and has a haircut. He wears a pure white jacket and light blue hakama, the clothes of a boy in the Heian period.

Haku suddenly comes to the oil shop and offers to be Yubaba's apprentice, who is also a witch. Haku is used by Yubaba, but since he can use his magical powers, he tries his best to return Chihiro, who wandered into the oil shop, to her world.

What is the true identity of Yubaba in "Spirited Away"? What is Yubaba and why does she take away her name?

Who is Haku in the end?

Haku's true identity is "Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi".

Haku usually looks like a boy from the Heian period. However, his true form is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, the Dragon God.

The Kohaku River used to flow through the town where Chihiro used to live. Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, who was the master of the river, had saved Chihiro's life when she was still young and fell into the river. It was then that Chihiro learned Haku's real name, but when she grew up and saw him again, she had forgotten him.

Haku became Yubaba's apprentice and, like Chihiro, was deprived of his name. And he could no longer remember his real name.

However, at the end of the story, when returning to the oil house from Senba's house, Chihiro saw the white dragon and remembered that Haku was the master of the Kohaku River. And Haku also regained his real name, Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi.

There is also a theory that Haku is the brother of Spirited Away. ......?

Haku, Chihiro in "Spirited Away

On the other hand, there is a theory that Haku is really Chihiro's brother. Some people believe that Haku is the older brother of Chihiro, who died when he tried to save her from drowning in the Kohaku River when she was a child.

The reason for this is a scene in the ending. In the scene, there is a hand trying to pick up a shoe in the river, but it is said that it is not Chihiro's hand.

The storyboard of "Spirited Away" does not specify whose hand it is, only that it is a child's hand. It is said that this may be the hand of Chihiro's brother, or Haku.

It is also said that the reason why Chihiro's mother is cold to her is because she unconsciously hates Chihiro for causing her son's death.

Furthermore, in the fantastic theme song "Ano Hi no Kawade," which Hayao Miyazaki wrote as the theme song, there is a line that says, "I am living for someone, someone who lived for me.

It is said that "I who live for someone else" refers to Haku (Chihiro's brother), and "someone who lived for me" refers to Chihiro who risked her life to go to Senba for Haku.

There are several other reasons for this, but none of them are beyond the realm of speculation. However, since it is clearly shown in the movie that Haku's true identity is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, this theory contradicts it.

It is possible that the brother who died trying to save Chihiro became Nigihayamihakunushi, but that would be too short a time for a dead man to become a god(in my opinion).

Question 2: Why did Haku know about Chihiro?

Haku was always concerned about Chihiro and helped her. When Chihiro came to the other world, he hid the fact that she was human, prevented her from disappearing when she almost disappeared from existence, and gave her advice to work for Yubaba.

So why did Haku know about Chihiro and be so kind to her?

As mentioned above, Chihiro almost drowned in the Kohaku River when she was a child, and the owner of the river, Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, saved her life. This Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi is Haku's true form. That's why he has known Chihiro for a long time.

Haku had lost his name to Yubaba and had forgotten his true self, but somehow he remembered Chihiro's name. When Haku found out that Chihiro had lost her name to Yubaba, he tried to help her return to the world before she forgot her real name.

Their relationship seems to be a romantic one, but it may be more like a brother-sister relationship where Haku always saves Chihiro.

Question 3] What is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi?

The Origin of Haku's Name

Haku's real name, Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi, is thought to have been modeled after the god Nigihayahi, who appears in Japanese mythology.

The Kohaku River, where Haku lived, must have been a fast flowing river, because the young Chihiro almost drowned in it. This is probably why the name "Hayahi" was changed to "Hayami" (Hayami).

The origin of the name "Nigihayahi" is written in kanji as "邇藝速日Nigihayahi" in the Kojiki and "饒速日" in the Nihonshoki.

Haku's name is not officially written in Chinese characters, but if it were to be written in Kanji, it would probably be "邇藝速水珀琥主" or "饒速水珀琥主".

The god from whom the name originated

So what kind of god is Nigihayahi, the god from whom Haku got his name?

In the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), Nigihayahi appears as the main deity of Nagasunehiko, a powerful tribe in the Yamato region (present-day Nara Prefecture).

One day, Emperor Jinmu（神武天皇） came to the Yamato region from Kyushu, looking for a suitable land to rule the country. However, he was met with resistance from the Nagasune Hiko and was unable to rule.

Later, when Emperor Jinmu led his army again and defeated Nagasunehiko, Nigihayahi told him that he would follow him.

In the Nihon Shoki, it is said that Nigihayahi killed Nagasunehiko at this time and came to serve Emperor Jimmu.

Who is the god in "Spirited Away"?　Here's a list!

Question 4] What happened to Haku after that?

Is Haku torn into eight pieces?

Yubaba "Spirited Away".

What happened to Haku after Chihiro returned to her world?

There is a theory that Haku was torn into eight pieces by Yubaba. This is probably based on the fact that when Haku asked Yubaba for an exchange condition to return Chihiro to the original world, she was threatened with being torn into eight pieces.

However, at the end of the story, Haku remembered his real name. Therefore, the witch's contract is no longer in effect, and he is considered to have been freed from Yubaba's spell. If the contract disappeared, then Haku must have become free just like Chihiro.

Is there a hint in Haku's last words?

When Haku took Chihiro back to her world, he said, "I'll talk to Yubaba and stop being her apprentice. Don't worry, I got my real name back. I'll go back to my world too.

This means that Haku himself knew that the contract with Yubaba would cease to be effective as soon as he got his real name back, as I guessed above.

Returning to the original world may mean becoming the god of some other river, even if he cannot return to the Kohaku River, which has already been reclaimed.

Movie "Sprited Away" Explanation & Discussion about the mystery of the movie! What is Hayao Miyazaki's REAL message?

[Question 5] Is it true that there is a phantom last scene?

Is it true that there is a phantom last scene?

It is said that there is a fantastic last scene in "Spirited Away". The contents are as follows.

Spirited Away" has a fantastic last scene. When she is on her way to her new house, her mother spots the moving company from the hill and complains to her father, "They're already here”.

As she walks around the new house, Chihiro notices a stream with a short bridge. The story ends with a meaningful scene in which Chihiro looks at the stream from the bridge, and for a moment, she looks as if she has realized something, as if she has realized that this stream is Haku's new home.

Did such a scene really exist?

The phantom last scene is an urban legend!

There is a story that the phantom last scene was shown only on the first day of the film's release or for a week, but this would be quite difficult in reality.

This is because "Spirited Away" was screened on film. Unlike today's digital screenings, it is not possible to simply replace the data in a film.

At the time of its release, the cost of printing a two-hour film was about 1.35 million yen. Since "Spirited Away" was shown in more than 300 cinemas nationwide, it would cost more than 400 million yen to replace all of them. Ghibli did not have that much money at the time.

But this story is also half true. The "phantom last scene" existed until the storyboard stage. This was written in the materials of the film, and some people knew about it.

In 2014, some of this story was exaggerated and posted on the internet bulletin board 2chan, and combined with the audience's desire to see the reunion of Chihiro and Haku, it is thought that the rumor spread.

The voice actor was Miyu Irino.

Haku is voiced by Miyu Irino. Irino joined the Himawari Theater Company at the age of four, and was active as a child actor. He was 13 years old when he played Haku. He successfully won the role through an audition.

He made his voice acting debut as Sho in "You're Under Arrest" in 1997. Other representative works include the role of Sora in the "Kingdom Hearts" series, the role of Takashiku Sugawara in "Haikyu! as Takashiku Sugawara in the "Kingdom Hearts" series, as Todomatsu Matsuno in "Osomatsu-san", and as Masaya Ishida in "The Shape of Voice".

”Spirited Away" is a film that is fascinating no matter where you cut it, and no matter how many times you watch it, you will always find something new to enjoy. The charm of this film is that it gives you the freedom to see things in different ways with Hayao Miyazaki's unique direction.

There are endless rumors about urban legends and fantastic endings, but this is proof that this film has been loved for many years. Haku is also a beloved character, which is why there are so many rumors about him. I'd like to watch it again and enjoy discovering something new!

Who are the gods in "Spirited Away"?

What kind of gods visit the oil shop?

Yubaba describes Aburaya as "a bathhouse” where the eight million gods come to heal their fatigue. The "eight million gods" refers to all the gods that exist in Japan（八百万の神――やおよろずのかみ）. Unlike Christianity, which is a monotheistic religion, in Japan, God dwells in all things, which means there are many gods. Aburaya is the place where these gods gather.

What are the names of the gods in the movie?

So what kind of gods actually visited Aburaya? For example, there is Oshira-sama, who looks like a radish, and Otori-sama, who looks like a chick. And Oksare, who appeared covered in garbage, was actually a famous river god.

Lady Oshira――おしら様

Oshira-sama is a god who wears a red bowl on his head, and his white body and loincloth are very impressive. He is also known as the God of Radish. He was the one who rode in the elevator with Chihiro to Yubaba.

This God of Radish is called Oshira-sama. In the movie, he appears as the god of daikon(Japanese white radish), but in reality, he is famous as the guardian god of sericulture, agriculture, and horses.

In its original form, Oshira-sama is a house god worshipped in the Tohoku region, and there are shrines dedicated to him in Ibaraki and Shizuoka prefectures as well.

Oshira-sama is said to be a god who loves children. Oshira-sama is said to be a god who loves children. In the movie, she was accompanying Chihiro to see Yubaba.

Is the episode of Oshira's birth sad?

The episode of Oshira-sama's birth was surprisingly sad. Once upon a time, a farmer's daughter unexpectedly fell in love with a male horse. The angry father kills the horse, but the daughter's soul ascends with the horse. Thus, the daughter's soul became Oshira-sama.

Incidentally, the original Oshira-sama was a doll made of mulberry wood, with men, women, and horses carved on it. Oshirasama was already an object of worship during the Warring States period. The names and appearances of the dolls vary from region to region, but it seems that they are still gentle gods who are close to people's lives.

Otori-sama

This god looks like a big chick and is popular among fans of "Spirited Away. He looks like a chick itself, but his eyes are so surreal that you cannot tell where he is looking.

The story of his birth is a sad one. He was a chick who died as an egg, or a chick who could not grow into a chicken, and became a god. It is cute to see a large group of them in the bathtub, putting small towels on their heads and using a small tub. It looks like a familiar toy in the bath.

In "Spirited Away," the chick's god is Otori-sama! The sad secret of his birth is explained.

Oksare-sama

Oksare is a god who covers his entire body with garbage and filthy sludge and emits an unbelievable stench. The employees of the oil shop call him "rotten god(腐れ神）" and are fed up with him, but only Chihiro does her best to take care of him.

As soon as she pulls out the mysterious spike on Oksare's back, the garbage and dirt spew out of his body, and he transforms into his original form with a face resembling a mask of an old man and a body as long as a dragon! In the end, he left the Aburaya with a satisfied look on his face and gave the mysterious nigadango to Chihiro and a large amount of gold sand to the Aburaya.

View Spoiler

The true identity of Oksare is that of a river god, who has been accumulating in his body the garbage that humans have been illegally dumping in the river, such as bicycles, drums, and furniture ....... The character was originally inspired by Miyazaki's experience when he pulled up a bicycle to clean the river.

Kasuga-sama (Kasuga-sama)

Kasuga-sama, a humanoid god, travels in groups of dozens of pillars and comes to the bathhouse on a boat. He wears a costume similar to that of a priest's hunting robe to hide his body, and walks while floating in the air.

The model is Kasuga-no-kami, a Shinto god and the deity of Kasuga Shrine. The talisman-like object covering the face is called "Zomen,蔵面(ぞうめん)" a type of mask used in Bugaku（舞楽）. Kasuga-sama's mask is said to be the same as the one used in the rituals at Kasuga Taisha Shrine to dedicate the dance!

He seems to be surprisingly mischievous, and there is a scene where he and Oshirasama praise Chihiro while waving a fan.

Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi

Nigihayami is a disciple of Yubaba, a witch, and the true identity of Haku, a boy who always encouraged Chihiro. He takes the form of a white dragon, and his real name, written in Chinese characters, is "Reihayami Koshiranushi.

What is the true identity of Haku in "Spirited Away"? What is the origin of Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi?

Ushioni (Cow Demon牛鬼)

A demon with a large head, antlers like a deer's, and a stocky body shape. It is said to be modeled after the Ushioni that appear in folklore and folklore of western Japan.

There are many theories, but the Ushi-Oni is a brutal and ferocious demon with the head of a cow and the body of a demon. They appear in forests, woods, and waterside areas, and eat and kill people on foot. In this work, the character is deformed, round and charming, and does not have the image of an evil demon.

He is also cute when he walks around in the yukata of an oil shop, and is secretly a popular god among fans.

Hitokotonushi (Lord of a Word)

A deity who appears only in the dialogues in the film. He is the god of oracles mentioned in the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) and Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan), and is worshipped at Katsuragi Hitotsunushi Shrine in Gosho City, Nara Prefecture.

He is also called "Ichigon-san" (meaning "Mr. Ichigon" in Japanese) because he is said to be the god who can grant any wish with a single word.

The gods of "Spirited Away" may be hiding in your daily life at .......

In this article, I introduced some of the unique gods from "Spirited Away.

The gods that come to the oil shop are tired, and some of them are victims of the development of civilization and culture, like Oksare-sama, who lost his true form because of humans. The characters are not only cute and funny, but also have a satirical message about the problems of modern society.

It is a dream to think that the gods of "Spirited Away" may be present in our daily lives ....... I would like to think that gods dwell in everything and take good care of them.
