◇Comment from Hiroki Higashi
I'm Higashi, and I played the role of Ishiryu Ryu. I'm incredibly happy to be a part of the unbelievably popular Jujutsu Kaisen. Some of you may already know about Ishiryu's pompadour, but it's not just any pompadour. It's an amazing pompadour. This is the dessert that Ishiryu desires in life. Please look forward to the broadcast!
◇Comment from Nana Mizuki
I played the role of Kyoko Usagi, a very impactful character who, while almost completely naked, possesses powerful magic that allows her to manipulate the sky and shape space as she pleases, and who harbors deep-seated hatred from a traumatic past! She's a formidable character, but she also expresses all her emotions straightforwardly, so I poured out my surging feelings directly! There were some scenes where I got too passionate and menacing, and I was directed to "be a little younger..." (laughs), but I unleashed her pent-up emotions, so I hope everyone enjoys it!
◇Comment from Yukihiro Nozuyama
This is Yukihiro Nozuyama, who plays the role of Kuromokushi. Surprised? That was me. Usually I get found out right away, but this time I don't think anyone noticed... at least that's what I think as I'm writing this. Kuromokushi's motif is also that he likes shadows and has the habit of hiding. It's starting to get warmer now, so everyone please be careful. Otherwise... your house might be infested with a large number of Kuromokushi... Please continue to enjoy the third season of the TV anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" "The Culling Game Part 1".
