The latest pamphlet for the theatrical release of Jujutsu Kaisen: Shibuya Incident Special Edition × Culling Game Advance Screening, now in theaters, includes a newly released dialogue between Junya Enoki, the voice of Yuji Itadori, and Daisuke Namikawa, the voice of Choso.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a dark fantasy that begins when a powerful cursed object is unsealed, drawing high schooler Yuji Itadori into relentless battles with curses. Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from March 2018 to September 2024, the manga has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation.

The first TV anime aired from October 2020 to March 2021, followed by the global blockbuster film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in December 2021, which earned 26.5 billion yen worldwide. Season 2 aired from July to December 2023, and the story continues with Season 3, Jujutsu Kaisen: Culling Game Part One, premiering in January 2026.

— In the Shibuya Incident, Choso initially saw Yuji as the murderer of his younger brothers but ultimately chose to protect him as family.

Namikawa
For someone’s attitude to change that dramatically after such an intense fight, it means his feelings for his brothers must be incredibly strong. Choso is straightforward and always acts on his emotions, which makes him impossible to dislike. His emotions are clear and easy to follow, so I rarely had trouble performing those aspects. Compared to other sorcerers, he is a remarkably readable character because his heart is exactly where his words are.

Enoki
After accepting Yuji as his younger brother, Choso stays by Yuji’s side at the beginning of the Culling Game arc, even when Yuji is in a mentally fragile state. With Fushiguro absent at first, Yuji might have spiraled negatively had he been alone. Whether or not we call him “big brother,” having someone like Choso with him was a blessing. I think Yuji was truly saved by that presence.

— Choso’s sense of brotherhood contrasts sharply with Naoya’s. How do you view that difference?

Namikawa
I can only say that Choso’s view of brotherhood is the one I relate to (laughs).

Enoki
Naoya completely looks down on his brothers. There is no other way to put it (laughs). Amid that contrast, Choso’s line, “I have to walk in front of my younger brothers. That's why I'm strong,” really stood out.

Namikawa
That line was great. Working hard for his blood-related siblings (and the fact that his technique itself is rooted in blood) makes it even more meaningful. Choso may look awkward, but he delivers these cool lines so naturally. Saying things like “I treasure my brothers” or “My elder brother matters to me,” and truly meaning them—there is something admirable about that.
