Jujutsu Kaisen has emerged as one of the most popular anime series in recent years, garnering attention even from celebrities. While known figures such as Samuel L. Jackson and Michael B. Jordan have expressed their admiration for anime, Megan Thee Stallion stands out as one of the most vocal supporters of the medium.
Megan Thee Stallion has become an influential personality within the Jujutsu Kaisen and broader anime community by referencing characters like Gojo and quoting lines from Adam McArthur, the English voice actor for Yuji in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime.
Despite some skepticism from the anime community regarding her genuine interest, her interview with Billboard, released on September 4, 2024, demonstrated her solid understanding of the anime universe.
Megan Thee Stallion Affirms Her Passion for Jujutsu Kaisen in Interview
In her recent YouTube interview with Billboard, Megan Thee Stallion faced a range of questions concerning popular and lesser-known anime series, further establishing her as a devoted fan of the medium.
As she has often cosplayed characters from Jujutsu Kaisen, she was asked about Gojo’s technique that creates an impenetrable barrier and the name of his closest friend. Her correct answers of “Infinity”for the technique and “Geto”for his friend showcased her deep knowledge of the series. This detail was significant as these aspects were not revealed until later in the show.
Her knowledge extended to questions related to My Hero Academia, including aspects of the school nurse at U.A. High School and the abilities of the villain Overhaul. Megan provided accurate responses, solidifying her status as a true otaku, considering Overhaul’s powers were introduced later in the storyline and Recovery Girl is a minor character.
A particularly surprising moment in the interview involved her correct answer regarding Jonathan Joestar’s age in the Phantom Blood manga, which was first published in 1987, with an anime adaptation debuting in 2012. Answering “12 years old”demonstrated her familiarity with older anime series as well.
Megan Thee Stallion has displayed her love for anime through numerous cosplays, including characters from Sailor Moon and Soul Eater. She previously presented the Anime of the Year Award at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, wearing an outfit inspired by Bruno Bucciarati.
Conclusion
The full interview is available on YouTube, showcasing Megan Thee Stallion’s compelling knowledge of anime and affirming her reputation as a “true otaku.”With the Jujutsu Kaisen anime concluding soon in late September 2024, as chapter 271 will mark the end, her insights contribute to the ongoing celebration of this beloved series.
