Jujutsu Kaisen has been gaining popularity in almost every corner of fandom. From its appearance at the Super Bowl, to its presence in the world of music, the series seems to be expanding beyond the anime community.
The show has attracted attention from well-known figures, with artists like Usher and Megan Thee Stallion even dressing up as characters. Recently, the supposed “rivalry”between rappers J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar has been compared to a pivotal moment in the anime.
Cole-Lamar feud likened to iconic Jujutsu Kaisen moment
Background Information
During the ongoing feud between Lamar, Drake, and Cole, Cole has publicly extended an apology to Lamar. This comes after Kendrick Lamar’s diss towards Drake and Cole on the track “Like That”from Future and Metro Boomin’s latest joint album, “We Don’t Trust You.”In his verse, Lamar made a reference to Drake’s most recent album, specifically the song “First Person Shooter”which features Cole.
Despite rumors of Lamar being featured on the track, it never came to fruition. In the song, Cole and Drake refer to themselves as rap’s “Big 3″alongside Lamar, but in Like That, Lamar takes a step back from the other two. Responding swiftly, Cole released 7 Minute Drill from his 12-track EP Might Delete Later.
During the song, Cole appeared to poke fun at Lamar’s declining popularity and his latest album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, as well as his second release. However, just two days later, while performing at the Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, Cole publicly apologized to Lamar.
Similarities to Jujutsu Kaisen
During the Shibuya Incident in Jujutsu Kaisen, Disaster Curse Jogo takes advantage of a moment and gives an unconscious Yuji Itadori 10 of Ryomen Sukuna’s fingers, allowing Sukuna to take control for a significant period of time. In this state, Sukuna challenges Jogo, offering to help the Curses if Jogo can land a hit on him.
The mere idea of Sukuna joining their side was enough to convince the Cursed Spirit to engage in battle. As a result, a destructive confrontation between the two erupted, causing significant destruction to the once-beautiful Shibuya. Despite putting up a fight, Jogo was ultimately no match for Sukuna’s power and was incinerated by his Fire Arrow.
In his final moments, Jogo apologizes to his comrades Hanami and Dagon for his inability to complete their mission. However, Sukuna also appears and tells Jogo, “Be proud, for you are strong.”
Despite his disapproval of Jogo’s ability to take control of his dreams, Sukuna holds great admiration for his strength. In Sukuna’s eyes, strength is the most valuable trait and he gives recognition to those who possess it.
This can be related to the current scenario by drawing parallels between Lamar and Sukuna, and Cole and Jogo. Cole’s apology can be seen as representing Jogo’s involvement in the fight, while Lamar’s recognition of Cole’s skill presents a similar dynamic.
Internet erupts with memes and opinions on comparing Cole-Lamar feud to Jujutsu Kaisen battles
Both Jujutsu Kaisen fans and music enthusiasts were prompt in sharing their thoughts about the scene, with many expressing their admiration for the comparison.
“now I need more goats as apart of the Heian era”, a user wrote.
“This is so sad bc if jcole was locked in we could’ve gotten a recreation of this panel instead…,”another posted.
“I knew it won’t take jjk much time for this to come out,”a netizen wrote.
Similarly, fans drew parallels between the ongoing feud between Lamar and Drake and the intense rivalry between Sukuna and Gojo Satoru in Jujutsu Kaisen. Those familiar with the anime know the level of intensity and epicness that was displayed in that battle. And now, both music and anime fans are drawing inspiration from it, with one even creating a comparison to the highly anticipated rematch between Gojo and Toji.
“Bro this is kinda like the Toji vs gojo situation, Toji went out of character and accepted Gojo’s rematch bc he felt like he had to in order to prove a point, just like cole felt he had to respond, & both got bodied in the end”, one user commented.
“you gotta do Drake as Gojo next lol”, a fan wrote.
Undoubtedly, Jujutsu Kaisen has made a significant impact on the world, as demonstrated by this type of analysis and artwork. It is undoubtedly one of the most highly acclaimed manga of today. Gege Akutami has undoubtedly crafted a timeless masterpiece that will continue to be celebrated for years to come.
