In an unexpected crossover, Marvel Comics has officially recognized “Jujutsu Kaisen” as part of its multiverse.
The all-time favorite anime series is now canon in Marvel’s sprawling reality.
The surprise is presented in “Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant #4” when the X-Men heroine crosses the multiverse and briefly visits the world of Gege Akutami’s shōnen manga sensation. In one panel, there is an illustration of Ryomen Sukuna’s destructive rampage during the Shibuya Incident Arc, and the location is labeled: “Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. Multiverse cluster of magic and death.”
Despite being a subtle reference, its implications are massive. This marks the official entry of “Jujutsu Kaisen” into Marvel’s infinite multiverse.
Could there be a full crossover?
There are no announcements of official crossover plans from either Marvel or Shueisha (Jujutsu Kaisen’s Japanese publisher). However, Marvel’s history indicates such patterns of crossovers.
The anime has gathered fans from all over the world, as previously DC Comics also featured the protagonist Yuji Itadori in “Nightwing #113.”
Fans are hoping for a full recognition of “Jujutsu Kaisen.” The official existence of Itadori in Marvel’s multiverse is an optimistic move that the full crossover is possible in the near future.
