The Reveal Which Shocked Jujutsu Kaisen Fans
Toji Fushiguro Is The Jason Statham Of The Jujutsu Kaisen World
While the exhibition was a success, Akutami did reveal a mind-blowing revelation to the fans, stating that Toji Fushiguro, the sorcerer killer, was inspired by none other than legendary Hollywood actor - Jason Statham. The English actor and martial artist, Jason is known for his appearances in films such as The Transporter, The Meg and The Fast & Furious franchise. It was more than just that actor that Akutami based Toji on. Action movie fans may remember Jason as the calm and collected badass who takes out enemies with his fast-paced martial arts moves. Toji also depicts similar mannerisms during the series and also appears to be calm and collected while in a fight, displaying an aura of confidence, just like his Hollywood counterpart, Jason.
I was hoping to finish you off with that strike. Must be getting rusty. - Toji Fushiguro
Both Jujutsu Kaisen character and Hollywood star share the same fighting style, while Toji appears physically more muscular than Jason, the ability to fight under dire conditions comes naturally to them. The two also share almost similar backstories, as many times Jason is seen as the underdog in his movies, making a powerful comeback and taking on the fight. Toji also has somewhat of an underdog story, as he was originally named Toji Zenin and was born into the prestigious Zenin Clan, known to be one of the top three great sorcerer families. He was, however, treated poorly by his family due to being born without any cursed energy, causing the Zenin Clan to reject him. He made his comeback by becoming extremely powerful physically. He became so strong that he was able to go head-to-head with Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest sorcerer - Gojo Satoru during his school days.
Every Main Jujutsu Kaisen Character's Age, Height, And Birthday
Jujutsu Kaisen is among the biggest ongoing anime. Here are a few basic details fans should know about the main characters as they join the adventure.
Toji Fushiguro - The Legendary Sorcerer Killer
Who Was Toji, And How Was He So Strong?
Toji was first revealed during the season 2 premiere of Jujutsu Kaisen and is introduced as the "sorcerer killer". While Toji's character is not deeply explained in the series, he does have a complex backstory that sets a lot of things in motion. He is also the father of one of the main characters in the series - Megumi Fushiguro. Toji's lack of cursed energy is due to the result of heavenly restrictions placed on him. Instead of having powerful cursed energy, he was given enhanced physical abilities, making him a formidable opponent, especially for those who heavily rely on cursed techniques. Toji also uses cursed tools to enhance his attacks and is able to use them effectively when in combat. Even though Toji dies in the series, he leaves behind a strong mark as a powerful and unique character.
When it comes to inspiration for writers, it can always become challenging, especially with characters who resonate with audiences. Despite all this, Akutami has masterfully crafted rich and diverse characters for the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, with each character and their own backstory and contribution to the series. Earlier this year, the Jujutsu Kaisen series achieved the distinction of becoming one of the most in-demand anime, a testament to its success and impact on fans around the world.
