The main cast has been decided!

The main cast has also been decided in conjunction with the anime adaptation. Comments from the cast have also arrived.

Yujin Toraje: CV.

A freshman at Sugisawa 3rd High School. He is a gem who was not born for a thousand years, and is able to withstand the deadly poison of the King of Curses, Double-Sided Shukusatsu. Accepting this as his mission, he throws himself into the battle to turn the curse around in order to prevent a wrongful death.

Junya Enoki's comment on the anime adaptation
Junya Enoki commented, "The character is straight-forward, so I tried not to think too much when I played him. I will work together with the cast and staff and do my best to make the play lively.

Megumi Fushiguro CV: Yuma Uchida

A first-year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is a genius who entered the school as a second-grade conjuror, and is the only first-year student allowed to work alone. Because an acquaintance was cursed in the past, he is determined to protect those he holds dear.

Yuma Uchida's comment on the anime adaptation (original in Japanese)
My first impression of him is that he is an unsociable person. I am wondering what kind of feelings he has in his heart and what kind of life he lives as a sorcerer. The recording hasn't started yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of story awaits us!

■Nobara Kugisaki CV: Asami Seto

She is a first-year student at Tokyo Metropolitan College of Enchantment. She is a winsome sorceress who came to Tokyo from the countryside. She hates the closed and exclusive nature of her hometown, and is willing to take risks in order to get out of the countryside and into the city.

Comment from Asami Seto on the anime adaptation (original in Japanese)
Now I want to read the original story and study her. Since I haven't done postrecording yet, I would like to prepare what I think is necessary to express her as I see her. In addition, I think my challenge is not to solidify the image of her too much in my mind.

She also participated in Jump Festa!

Jujutsu Kaisen" will also participate in the Jump Super Stage at Jump Festa 2020, which will be held on December 21 (Sat.)/22 (Sun.), 2019.
