I am drawing strength from the passion and accumulated efforts of the staff and cast who have supported ' Jujutsu Kaisen' up until now. And while firmly inheriting the expressions and possibilities that ' Jujutsu Kaisen' has pioneered so far, I will do my best to elevate the charm of the work into animation in the best possible way. All of the staff are working on the production with sincerity, so I would be happy if you would look forward to it."
