Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 224 packed with nods to Hunter x Hunter and YuYu Hakusho

“Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 224: A Tribute to Togashi’s Works”

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 224, which recently made its unofficial debut, delighted fans with its continuation of the epic battle between Ryomen Sukuna and Satoru Gojo. Amidst the intense fight, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice subtle nods to Yoshihiro Togashi’s renowned series, Hunter x Hunter and YuYu Hakusho.

While Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 224 didn’t overwhelm readers with references, there were two standout moments that paid homage to Togashi’s works. Additionally, some fans even speculated about Sukuna’s demeanor throughout the issue, drawing connections to Togashi’s characters, although this discussion remains confined to niche forums.

Nevertheless, it’s evident that Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 224 exemplifies Gege Akutami’s deep admiration for Togashi’s creations. While this is not the first time fans have witnessed this admiration, it is undoubtedly one of the most prominent displays in recent memory.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 224 emphasizes the significant influence of Togashi on Akutami’s series. While the references are not immediately apparent at the beginning of the chapter, they gradually become more prominent. One notable reference occurs when Sukuna attempts to use his Dismantle Cursed Technique on Gojo.

During this scene, Gojo mimics the finger gun pose, gripping his right elbow with his left hand, reminiscent of Yusuke Urameshi’s signature attack, the Spirit Gun, from YuYu Hakusho. The pose mirrors the activation of Sukuna’s Cursed Technique.

Ironically, Sukuna’s use of this technique leads to yet another Togashi reference. As Sukuna and Gojo battle in a collapsing building, Gojo squats down, turns his body away from Sukuna, and clenches his right hand into a fist, placing it in the palm of his left hand. This gesture pays homage to Gon Freecs’ Jajanken technique, named after the “rock, paper, scissors” game.

On smaller forum sites, fans have also noticed similarities between Gojo’s outfit in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 224 and Gon and Killua Zoldyck’s attire during the Chimera Ant arc in Hunter x Hunter. Some have even drawn parallels between Sukuna’s sadistic yet cheerful demeanor and Hisoka’s characterization throughout Hunter x Hunter.

In conclusion, regardless of the extent of the references to Togashi’s works, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 224 is a testament to Akutami’s appreciation for his fellow mangaka. As the series’ final battle unfolds, fans can eagerly anticipate more nods and tributes to Togashi’s beloved creations.
