Jujutsu Kaisen fan animation brings Gojo’s 200% Hollow Purple to life
On September 12, 2024, a Jujutsu Kaisen fan known as @NES_BANANA released their fan animation featuring Satoru Gojo’s 200% Hollow Purple targeted at Ryomen Sukuna, marking the beginning of the Shinjuku Showdown.
According to NES_BANANA, the animation took several months to create, containing over 3,500 frames and adhering closely to the animation style used by MAPPA.
This fan animation beautifully portrays the events in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 223. Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna are set to confront each other on December 24, yet they have not established a meeting location. While Sukuna and Uraume awaited a signal to determine where to meet, Satoru Gojo, along with Ijichi, Utahime, and Gakuganji, made preparations for the first move in their battle.
The animation features Utahime employing her innate technique, Solo Forbidden Area, to enhance Satoru Gojo’s overall cursed energy capacity. Additionally, Gakuganji’s music raised the technique’s effectiveness to an impressive 120%.
Satoru Gojo unleashed his 200% Hollow Purple at Sukuna. Thanks to Ijichi’s barrier, Sukuna was only able to sense the massive surge of power right before it reached him.
The two opponents then confronted each other, with Gojo asserting that Sukuna was the challenger in their matchup.
Fan Reactions to the Animation
Anime enthusiasts were blown away by the artwork and animation, with many believing that MAPPA might struggle to exceed this fan-made work. The animation was praised for its fidelity to the source material, and fans especially appreciated the well-chosen background music that effectively captured the duel’s intensity.
“When Judas started playing I realized MAPPA could not top this,”one viewer remarked.
“This made my day, good job bro. You cooked like Gordon Ramsay,”another said.
