by The anime ” Jujutsu Kaisen ” is known for its fierce battles using cursed power, but the sorcerer Nobara Kugisaki (CV: Asami Seto ) once used a “toy” instead of her usual hammer. The “ping!” sound that rang out when Kugisaki took a full swing with all her might to decide the match drew laughter from viewers, who said, “That’s a good sound, lol.”
At the Kyoto Sister School Exchange, Kugisaki from Tokyo School of Jujutsu Technical College engaged in a heated battle with Nishimiya Momo (CV: Kugimiya Rie) from Kyoto School of Jujutsu Technical College. Kugisaki struggled to attack the tricky opponent who flew around on a broom like a witch, but she turned the situation around midway. She then cornered Nishimiya and was close to finishing her off in one go.
Kugisaki’s weapons are the nails and hammers she uses in her Rumination Spirit Spell. However, this is merely a contest, not a fight to the death. So Kugisaki says, “If I hit you with my hammer, I could kill you if I’m not careful,” and instead pulls out a Piko Piko Hammer! “Ha!” Kugisaki raises her sword with all her might and brings the Piko Piko Hammer down on Nishimiya’s cheek with all her might. The familiar “ping!” sound echoes all around.
Viewers were excited to see Kugisaki swing the unexpected weapon amid the fierce battle, saying things like, “That’s a realistic pico hammer, lol,” “That sounds great, lol,” and “It looks like it would hurt if she swings it with all her might, lol,” and “I’ve never seen a pico hammer look such a pain.”
The currently streaming anime “Jujutsu Kaisen” is based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami. The manga has sold over 90 million copies and depicts the battle between “curses” born from negative human emotions and sorcerers who exorcise them with sorcery. The story begins when Yuji Itadori, who shares a body with the “King of Curses” Ryomen Sukuna, transfers to the “Jujutsu Technical College,” a specialized institution for fighting curses.
The first season of the TV anime, which began airing in October 2020, has been a big hit in Japan and worldwide. The second season, which aired from July to December 2023, depicted the story of Gojo Satoru and the worst curse user, Geto Suguru (CV: Sakurai Takahiro), during their time at technical college, “Kaitama/Gyoku Ore,” and the story of the Shibuya Incident, which continues from the first season. A sequel, “Shimetsu Kaiyuu,” has also been confirmed to be produced.
