‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ surprises everyone by suddenly becoming canon in DC Comics

One of the most popular manga and anime of recent years has made a curious appearance in DC Comics’s Gotham, of all places.

When we speak about ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ we are talking about what is possibly the most popular manga and anime today, not counting classics that are still at the forefront like ‘One Piece’, since of the latest works of Shonen Jump, the one by Gege Akutami is one of the most loved by the public. Recently, some DC Comics readers couldn’t believe that Yuji Itadori, protagonist of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’, appeared in the latest issue of Nightwing. A tribute to this popular manga in which among a crowd we can see Yuji Itadori in the middle of Gotham after picking up a pizza, and Itadori’s appearance is easily recognizable.

Who is Nightwing? He is a DC Comics superhero who is usually associated with Batman, although his origins are reborn from the classic Superman stories. There are several incarnations, although the best known is the reinvention of the identity of Dick Grayson, who became Nightwing after his role as Robin, Batman’s sidekick. In this case, the appearance of a character from ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ is still a tribute to the work of Gege Akutami, thus demonstrating its popularity and how manga and anime transcend worldwide.

The success of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ transcends the work itself

Alongside ‘Kimetsu no Yaiba’, ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ is one of the biggest successes worldwide in the world of manga and anime. A work by Gege Akutami that impacts and never stops growing with the viewer, leaving moments to remember in which violence and death are the order of the day. The success of the manga and anime industry continues to grow, and appearances like this one in DC Comics prove it.
