This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

Currently, Jujutsu Kaisen is the most popular new action anime. The show became a huge success when it premiered in 2021, and excitement is building for its third season, which will adapt the intense “Culling Game” storyline. Unfortunately, the series’ most beloved character, Gojo, is currently out of action. This means viewers might not see Gojo in the present day during Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3.

While fans await the third season of Jujutsu Kaisen, they have another exciting debut to look forward to this year: Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier. Qifrey and Gojo are often compared, and though they share some similarities, both are complex and beloved characters. The recently released Witch Hat Atelier trailer gave fans a much closer look at Qifrey, and they’re eager to see his story unfold.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the 2026 anime adaptation of Witch Hat Atelier, a popular manga series. Originally launched in 2016, the series has been running for almost ten years, and many believe an anime adaptation is long overdue.

Witch Hat Atelier is a beloved story that centers around Coco, a young girl learning witchcraft. She’s determined to break the spell she unintentionally cast on her mother.

Although Coco is the central character, the series features other compelling figures. Qifrey is a particularly popular character – a male witch who mentors Coco, along with other apprentices. Many fans see Qifrey as the story’s primary mentor, drawing comparisons to Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Qifrey not only helps his students improve their skills, but he also consistently protects them from danger—much like Gojo. He’s one of the first characters introduced in the series, and many fans are expecting him to become incredibly popular when the anime is released.

Qifrey And Gojo Are Similar Characters But Still Have Their Differences

Witch Hat Atelier is a well-loved manga, and the recent announcement of its anime adaptation is bringing it to a much wider audience. While the trailer doesn’t reveal much, many viewers have noticed a striking resemblance between the character Qifrey and Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Qifrey’s resemblance to Gojo is striking – they’re both tall men with white hair and mesmerizing blue eyes. Beyond appearances, they share key traits: both are incredibly powerful within their worlds, and they both act as guides and protectors to younger characters.

Despite their similarities, these two characters aren’t identical. They have noticeably different personalities, and it’s likely Qifrey influenced the creation of Gojo. Qifrey actually debuted a couple of years earlier – he first appeared in the Witch Hat Atelier manga in 2016, while Gojo was introduced in Jujutsu Kaisen in 2018. This means Qifrey isn’t simply a copy of Gojo, despite what some people might think.

While a specific date hasn’t been revealed yet, more details will be announced soon.
