It could be unexpected for some fans of Jujutsu Kaisen to see the series portrayed in a 90s anime style, as it is known for its modern animation. This could either be well-received or not by the majority of the fandom, who are known to love the series.
The recent tweet from X user (@JJKcontents), which showcased characters from Jujutsu Kaisen in a 90s anime style, was well-received by fans around the globe. The post featured popular protagonists and antagonists from the series, earning them even more love and support as the show continues.
Some fans had a preference for the classic Golden Era animation style when it came to their favorite series, but there were also those who labeled certain characters in Jujutsu Kaisen as a miss in the 90s anime style, while only a few were seen as a perfect hit.
Please note: The following article includes possible spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series and reflects the author’s personal viewpoint.
90s Anime Style Depictions of Characters from Jujutsu Kaisen
The post of the X user features six characters from Jujutsu Kaisen drawn in a 90s anime art style. The first character is Ryomen Sukuna, the ultimate antagonist and ruler of curses in the series. He appears in his awakened state, signified by his four arms, which he acquired after taking a bath.
In the Shibuya arc, the second character introduced is Yuki Tsukumo, the only female special-grade sorcerer. Sadly, she lost her life while battling Kenjaku in the Culling Game arc. Aoi Todou, who is known as Itadori Yuji’s “brother,”was introduced during the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event arc and played a crucial role in teaching Yuji the Black Flash Cursed Technique.
Mahito, an unregistered special-grade cursed spirit, is considered by many to be the most despised character in the series. He first appeared in the Versis Mahito arc and ultimately met his demise at the hands of Kenjaku in the Shibuya arc.
The fifth character introduced during the Shibuya arc is the special-grade Death Painting Womb, Choso. He eventually discovered a potential blood relation to Itadori, as they shared one of their parents, Kenjaku.
Furthermore, the sixth character, Kugisaki Nobara, was a teammate of Itadori in the series Jujutsu Kaisen. She made her debut in the first few episodes and met her tragic end during the Shibuya arc, marking her final appearance. The post featured all these characters in the traditional 90s anime style, showcasing simplistic designs with minimal, yet eye-catching, details.
Fan Responses to Retro Jujutsu Kaisen Anime Characters
A fan noticed the strong resemblance between the characters featured in these posts for Jujutsu Kaisen, which were drawn in a 90s anime style, and the popular 90s anime series Yu Yu Hakusho. Both series fall under the Shouen genre and have captivating storylines.
Additionally, numerous fans praised the attractiveness of certain characters, particularly Sukuna, as his appearance was favored by many due to its vintage anime aesthetic.

“Sukuna still looks badass AF (no surprises here),”another fan said.
“Everything is better in this style,”another one commented.
Some members of the fandom expressed their preference for the new style of animation over the 90s version. Additionally, there were debates among fans about the character design of Kugisaki Nobara, with some criticizing her rougher appearance.
Finally, a fan expressed their belief that the 90s animation was a perfect fit for Jujutsu Kaisen. They speculated that this could be due to the fact that the series’ main villain, Ryomen Sukuna, is a cursed spirit from ancient times. Thus, the fan found that the 90s anime style enhanced their viewing experience of Jujutsu Kaisen.
“We prefer it New gen style,” a fan commented.
“Who did that to Nobara. hell naw,”another fan commented.
