  • Yuji is not only a skilled fighter but also an excellent singer and chef among his friends.

As a seasoned anime and manga enthusiast with a soft spot for Shonen series, I must say that diving into the intricacies of “Jujutsu Kaisen” through this fascinating article was a real treat! The insights into the characters’ hidden talents and quirks were nothing short of delightful.

In the animated series, Jujutsu Kaisen, there’s a significant focus on the characters’ powers and attributes. Due to the vast amount of storyline, the anime doesn’t delve deeply into the personal lives of Jujutsu High’s teachers and students. However, for dedicated fans, creator Gege Akutami provides comprehensive insights in “Jujutsu Kaisen: The Comprehensive Character Guidebook”.

Akutami’s guidebook is packed with intriguing backstage tidbits about beloved characters. Inside, you’ll discover exclusive interviews, in-depth character profiles, and commentary on each chapter. But here’s the real question: Are any professors at Jujutsu High dating? Who’s the top chef? Can some handle their alcohol, while others can’t? The answers are hidden within its pages, so grab a copy and start exploring!

Jujutsu Kaisen: The Official Character Guide only covers JJK Volumes 1-15.

Jujutsu High’s Students and Faculty Are Singles

One Faculty Member Is Divorced

In season 2, episode 30 titled “It’s Like That,” viewers witnessed Nobara and Megumi arranging Yuji and Yuka, hinting at unspoken feelings. Meanwhile, the complex emotions of Mechamaru towards Miwa serve as a notable subplot. However, is this dynamic unique to these characters? Could others find themselves in similar circumstances?

It’s known that just one teacher at Jujutsu High, Masamichi Yaga, was previously married. Yet, he’s now separated from his spouse. The manga creator doesn’t reveal if his former partner practices sorcery.

If Akutami is correct, then every teacher and student at Jujutsu High must be unmarried, explaining why they can manage their own cooking and cleaning tasks (no specific confirmation about YutaMaki or SatoSugus, I’m afraid).

If you’re curious about Nobara Kugisaki’s preferred partner type, creator Akutami has shared some insights. When asked to describe the kind of man she finds appealing, Akutami mentioned Oda Nobunaga. This strong-willed leader with a quick temper and martial arts skills seems to match Kugisaki’s personality quite well.

Akutami’s guide highlights the subtle flirtatious interactions among his characters. In the “Share Your Thoughts! Akutami Sensei Collection” segment, it is revealed that Itadori was not well-liked at his previous school due to the fact that girls who were attracted to him were unsure of how to express their feelings towards him. As a result, he may be unaware when someone has a crush on him.

Megumi Fushigoro serves as a clear illustration of an individual struggling significantly within romantic pursuits. When questioned about how the talented sorcerer would turn down someone attracted to him, Akutami answered with a drawn-out “I’m sorry.” Indeed, that response carries quite an awkward tone.

Yuji Has Several Talents Besides Fighting

He’s a Wiz in the Kitchen

Apart from being celebrated for his physical prowess and serving skills, it’s worth noting that Yuji boasts some lesser-known abilities. In fact, when asked about the karaoke performance known as Juju Stroll in volume 2, Akutami revealed that among friends, Yuji is considered the top vocalist.

In the “Group Character Question and Answer” segment, Akutami acknowledged that Itadori is exceptionally skilled in the culinary arts, suggesting proficiency in the kitchen.

  • “Q: Itadori is the best cook among the first-years, but which is the better cook between Fushigoro and Kugisaki?”
  • “A: They’re about the same. Both of them can cook to a certain degree.”

Satoru Gojo Is a Lightweight

One of the silliest snippets from Akutami’s “Group Character Q & A” is a breakdown of the teacher’s drinking habits. Each category of drinker received Akutami’s first-place choice and a runner-up.

First Place Runner-up
Heaviest Drinker Shoko Ieiri Kento Nanami
Sloppiest Drinker Utahime Iori Naobito Zenin
Lightweight Satoru Gojo ❌

It might come as a surprise that one of the strongest practitioners of jujutsu sorcery struggles with alcohol consumption. However, upon reflection, it fits Gojo’s profile since his low tolerance for alcohol is consistent with his extraordinary abilities. Given his Six Eyes, it’s likely he feels the impact of alcohol more intensely due to his heightened senses.

It’s more unexpected that Utahime outperformed Naobito in being the most unrefined drinker, given how heavily intoxicated Naobito was throughout the Shibuya Incident.

It’s logical that Shoko and Kento rank high in drinking due to their ability to maintain composure, a common trait among heavy drinkers. Moreover, they have a knack for staying calm, which is often associated with heavy drinkers. Additionally, it’s worth noting that according to the National Institute of Health, smokers are 32% more likely to consume alcohol compared to non-smokers, and Shoko is a smoker.
