Jujutsu Kaisen’s creator credits Jason Statham as an inspiration for character Toji Fushiguro’s unique personality.

Get ready for a shocking revelation! According to Jujutsu Kaisen’s creator, Gege Akutami, Megumi’s father, Toji Fushiguro, was inspired by none other than Hollywood star Jason Statham!

Jujutsu Kaisen is about to take a dramatic turn as the manga’s creator, Gege Akutami, has confirmed that the current arc will be its last. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean the series is ending just yet! Akutami recently made an appearance at a Jujutsu Kaisen exhibition, where he spilled some juicy secrets about the anime series.

For those who need a refresher, Toji Fushiguro is the villainous father of Yuji’s best friend, Megumi. With no supernatural powers of his own, Toji relied on his cunning and magical weapons to get the job done. And get this – he was almost able to eliminate both Gojo and Geto before meeting his untimely demise!

The Inspiration Behind Toji Fushiguro

During the exhibition, Akutami revealed that he modeled Toji Fushiguro after none other than Jason Statham, the action star behind films like Meg, The Expendables, Fast & The Furious, Crank, Transporter, and The Beekeeper. Talk about a dynamic duo!

As the manga inches closer to its finale, the anime is still gearing up for its next big arc. MAPPA has confirmed that a third season is in the works, which will cover the “Culling Game Arc” – a twisted battle royale that will shake the very foundations of Jujutsu Tech.
