Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen recently earned a new milestone when the protagonist of the anime and manga series made a cameo in one of the biggest comic book franchises, DC Comics. Yuji Itadori surprised his fans as he sneaked into the DC world and got a feature in a crowd shot in the previews.
As soon as fans found out about the feature, they instantly went on social media to talk about Yuji’s achievement and how Jujutsu Kaisen is making the rounds around the world. Not only fans, but even the voice actor of Gojo Satoru, Kaiji Tang, also took part in this banter and added a nice twist to the discourse.
Instead of appreciating Yuji’s success, Tang compared the two worlds and pointed out that the antagonist of the series, Sukuna, who is currently wreaking havoc in Jujutsu Kaisen, won’t stand a chance against the Kryptonians. He essentially stated that Sukuna would be easily defeated by one of the strongest DC characters, Superman.
Yuji Itadori Sneaks Into The DC Universe
Nightwing #113, which was released on April 16, included a thrilling tribute to the tremendously successful series Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami. This special issue commemorated Legacy 300, an important milestone for the Nightwing comic series. Nightwing is one of the major characters in the DC Universe.
Yuji Itadori, the main protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, can be seen in the backdrop of a panel crowded with NPCs outside Marv & George’s Pizza, a 24-hour pizza restaurant. Yuji is easily identifiable due to his customary blue clothes and pink hair. He is also holding the pizza from the pizza restaurant.
While this crossover was not officially announced, fans are still happy to see their favorite anime and manga characters making an appearance in the DC world. This surprise appearance is a unique interpretation of Yuji, as the comic authors altered his appearance to fit the Nightwing universe.
Gojo Satoru’s Voice Actor Believes Superman Can Destroy Sukuna
As the news went viral on the Internet, fans shared their appreciation and renditions regarding Yuji’s new achievement. One of them was Gojo Satoru’s English voice actor, Kaiji Tang. Tang is one of the most prominent voice actors in the anime community, as he has voiced major characters like Guts from Berserk, Jin Kazama from Tekken: Bloodline, and many more.
Tang reshared the news of Yuji making an appearance in DC Universe, but he added his own rendition of it.
sukuna actually needs to escape DC because i don't know what ancient techniques he's got to prevent kryptonians from throwing him into the sun https://t.co/id7NuTXepm

As Yuji was the vessel of Sukuna, the King of Curses, Tang stated that Sukuna needed to leave the DC world as soon as possible because if he did something villainous there, he might have to face one of their strongest characters, Superman.
He even pointed out that no ancient curse technique would save him from the Kryptonian taking him and throwing him into the sun. While this is highly unlikely, the battle between Sukuna and Superman would be an interesting fight to watch, and even though the common belief is that Sukuna would stand no chance against him, he would surely give Superman a run for his money.
You can watch Jujutsu Kaisen on Crunchyroll.
