by An official interview with the voice actors Yuma Uchida (Megumi Fushiguro) and Taketo Koyasu (Jinji Fushiguro) of the second season of the anime “Jujutsu Kaisen” (MBS/TBS every Thursday from 11:56 p.m.) has been released. Ta. I was looking back on the recording of episode 16 (40 episodes in total).
In episode 35, “Serei” (Episode 11 of the second season), Jinji reappears and shows overwhelming strength. I showed it off. Mr. Koyasu, how did you feel about re-recording the role of Jinji following “Kaitama/Tamaori”?
Koyasu: “Having read the original work, I knew that Jinji would also appear in “Shibuya Jihen,” but I was like, “I’ve been waiting!””
Compared to “Kaitama/Tamaori,” were there any changes or things you were conscious of when acting?
Koyasu: “Years have passed for the other characters, but Jinji appeared just as he was in “Kaigyoku/Tamaori,” so I didn’t think to make any changes. However, since his appearance changed from his grandson to Jinji, I was afraid that people wouldn’t even notice my voice, but at the time of the broadcast, fans on SNS, etc. said, “Jinji has arrived.”!” and I thought it was good that he had a distinctive voice (lol).”
Uchida: “That’s what I thought too. “Here we come!” (lol).”
Koyasu: “I’m grateful that my son also said that. I’m glad I’ve been a voice actor for 36 years!” –The
A fierce battle between her son Megumi and Jinji is featured in episode 40, “Rail” (Season 2, 16 story) was depicted. What is your impression of the story?
Koyasu: “Just like during the fight with Gojo, Megumi doesn’t recognize Jinji as her father.” She says she thinks, “What the heck is this guy?” (laughs)”
Uchida: “That’s right. A powerful and dangerous guy suddenly appeared (lol).” Koyasu “
The visuals were amazing, too. They added even more flavor to the original story.”
Uchida “The way they expanded the depiction… It was amazing!”
Did the two of you ever talk about the play?
Koyasu: “I don’t have anything to do with acting, but when I was with Yuuma-kun on another set, I said, “Next time, please! I’m looking forward to it!” However, there are only a few scenes where Megumi and Jinji converse. But I was looking forward to it. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there was a lot of distributed recording, so even if it’s just a few words of conversation, it’s still different when you perform simultaneously in the same space. I again realized how happy it is to sit shoulder to shoulder and exchange lines.”
Uchida: “When you interact with someone, you get a deeper sense of being a part of the work. I always think about the feelings of the role and try to breathe as the role, but recording together allows me to feel the tension.” When you share something, your senses become sharper.
Some things can’t be created without being together. I’m glad I could record with Mr. Koyasu this time. Megumi thinks of Jinji as her father. I didn’t realize that, but I felt a sense of security as Yuma Uchida, not just the role, as a parent and child, so I felt a sense of security on set.” Koyasu: “Since then, I’ve been thinking about Yuma-kun, too
. I felt like he was my real son (lol). Since he’s the same age as my real son, I naturally felt like he was my father, which led to that last line. I’m glad that we were able to share that feeling. ――Looking
Back at the scenes in which you have appeared so far, please tell us what you find appealing about the character you play.
Koyasu: “I fell in love with Jinji at first sight when I read the original work. He is strong even though he is no good as a human, which is cool. He looks cool, and there is something about his way of life that I admire. It would be fun to live without any constraints, freeing yourself and doing what you love. In reality, you can’t live like this, so I’m happy to be able to act as a voice actor. It’s such a happy thing. I don’t think so.”
Uchida: “Compared to Jinji, Megumi is full of constraints. On the surface, she’s cool and doesn’t say things out loud. However, inside, she cares about people.” And after thinking about various things, I choose to sacrifice myself. I always worry about incorporating that “side that I don’t show to the public” into my acting. I think that’s where his charm lies.” Please
Give a message to the viewers about the second half of “Shibuya Jihen.”
Koyasu: “The harsh story continues. From now on, as a viewer, I want to watch from the shadows of Kusaba to see how hard my son is working (lol).” Uchida: “It’s a tough scene. “Shibuya Incident” with many. However, from here on, the battle will get even tougher. All the characters desperately try to survive, so please be prepared and watch it to the end.”
”Jujutsu Kaisen” is based on the manga of the same name, which began serialization in “Wee.
