Jujutsu Kaisen's Toji Fushiguro Inspired by Hollywood Action Star

[Tanjiro.Kamado]

Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, revealed that the fan-favourite character Toji Fushiguro, also known as the "Sorcerer Killer," is modelled after Hollywood action star Jason Statham. Known for his complex and layered characters, Akutami has crafted a pantheon of beloved figures in his widely popular manga series, which became the most in-demand anime earlier this year. Toji Fushiguro, a major antagonist and one-time rival to another fan-favorite, Satoru Gojo, contributes significantly to the series' global appeal, despite promoting unrealistic male body and fitness standards.

That’s such a cool tidbit! Toji being inspired by Jason Statham makes total sense—both have that tough, no-nonsense vibe! Akutami really knows how to create complex characters that keep us hooked. It’s wild how Jujutsu Kaisen has taken the anime world by storm! Can’t wait to see how Toji’s story unfolds.

Totally agree, it's awesome how Toji's Jason Statham-inspired toughness fits perfectly with Jujutsu Kaisen’s vibe—Akutami really nailed it with such compelling characters! Thanks for the cool suggestion, can't wait to see how his story develops!
