The awards ceremony for the "TikTok Trend Awards 2025," which recognizes the most popular content and hit items on TikTok this year, was held in Tokyo on December 5th, and it was announced that the anime " Jujutsu Kaisen ," based on the popular manga by Gege Akutami , was selected as the grand prize winner.
The reason for the award was explained as follows: "Videos quoting famous lines and creatively edited videos set to theme songs are being created spontaneously every day. The number of views is also spreading globally and is extremely widespread."
The award ceremony featured a costume of Jujutsu Kaisen Yuji Itadori 's protagonist, Itadori Yuji, and the voice actor who plays Itadori , Junya Enoki. Itadori expressed his joy at receiving the award, saying, "Wow, I haven't been to a venue like this very often, so I'm really excited! Speaking of which, I wonder what Fushiguro and Kugisaki are doing? I wish we could have come together. I'll hand out the trophy to everyone later!"
Enoki smiled and said, "Receiving such a big award made me realize once again how much my work is loved." He continued, "I've had many more opportunities to hold events overseas. I've also had more opportunities to be approached by people from overseas, which made me realize how much my work is loved overseas."
The third season of the TV anime, "Culling Game Part 1," will begin airing in January 2026. "The staff and cast are all putting their efforts into making the next series as well. I hope it will spread even further not only in Japan but also overseas. I will continue to work hard," he said enthusiastically.
