Part of what makes ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ being worshiped by fans is the dark atmosphere and the intense battles that can bring surprising conclusions to the narrative. In one of them, including one of the most beloved characters in the animation ends up dying: Kento Nanani.

It turns out that he, who is one of the most admired wizards of this universe by his centered and calm way, but still full of brutality, was mercilessly killed during the Shibuya incident. Who lasted the wizard’s life was Mahito, who did it in front of Yuji, the protagonist of the story, who had Nanani as a father figure.

Nanani’s death is considered one of the most painful by the anime aficionados and is constantly listed among the first places in the lists of those who bring together the losses of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ – and as a result, eventually led Rom Asking the title’s creators to bring the character back.
