The stage greeting for the premiere of the movie "Jujutsu Kaisen: Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu Gamaori," a compilation of the second season of the TV anime " Jujutsu Kaisen, " based on Akutami Gege's popular manga, was held on May 30th at TOHO Cinemas Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo), with Yuichi Nakamura , who plays Satoru Gojo , and other voice actors appearing. The film depicts the "blue spring that can never be returned" of the "two strongest men," Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto , during their time at Jujutsu Technical College, and Nakamura said, "When you watch this, you'll understand that Geto is not just an enemy."
Nakamura said about the appeal of the work, "It's very high-calorie, and it's not exactly refreshing. It's a story that continues into the future, so when I watched it once, I was deeply moved, and then my heart felt heavy, but I think we've delivered something that can be enjoyed over and over again. I hope that those who watch it multiple times will keep their hearts strong and don't give up."
Also appearing at the event were Takahiro Sakurai , who plays Suguru Geto , Shoko Ieiri Aya Endo, who plays Ieiri Shoko, and Nagase Anna, who plays Amano Riko.
