A Jujutsu Kaisen fan highlights the opening dialogue that got cut from the manga’s English translation.
Twitter user @soukatsu shared a translated version of the cut dialogue from the first page of Jujutsu Kaisen Ch. 204. The lines focus on the emotional plight of the supporting character Choso, a half-human, half-spirit character that fights alongside the series’ protagonist, Yuji Itadori. While Choso views Yuji as a younger brother, the character also has two real brothers named Kechizu and Eso. VIZ, the manga’s official English translators, have not clarified a reason, if one exists, as to why this dialogue was cut from the English version.
Jujutsu Kaisen takes place in a world where negative human emotions manifest as physical entities called “curses” that torment mankind. The manga’s story begins when high school student Yuji Itadori attempts to save his friend from a curse, but in the process ends up taking it into his body. With a special grade curse now housed within himself, Itadori has the ability to exorcise other curses from the world. With this goal in mind, he transfers to a new school and begins working with curse expert Satoru Gojo to master his new abilities and protect mankind from curses. While Choso and his brothers are introduced to the series during the Death Painting story arc, they are also players in the manga’s current arc, which revolves around Yuji and his fellow students trying to rescue Gojo from imprisonment by helping a team of sorcerers destroy a being known as “The Disgraced One.”
Teasers For JJK Season 2 Keeps Anticipation High
Studio MAPPA produced an anime adaptation of Akutami’s popular manga, which aired from October 2020 to March 2021. Sung Hoo Park (The God of High School) directed the series, while Hiroshi Seko (Attack on Titan) wrote the script. A prequel film, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, was also released in December 2021. MAPPA is currently working on the show’s second season. In September, the studio unveiled new teaser images, the first featuring a high school version of Satoru Gojo on a subway and the second showcasing present-day Gojo riding the subway with Yuji and several other Jujutsu students. The Jujutsu Kaisen Twitter account accompanied the latter image with a teasing message that reads, “On October 31, in Shibuya, an unprecedented large-scale battle over Satoru Gojo begins.” Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has a planned debut for some time in 2023.
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga is available in English in both physical and digital editions from VIZ Media. The anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
