The track also opens with Gojo’s iconic line from the anime: 「大丈夫。僕最強だから。」 Romanization: “Daijoubu. Boku saikyou dakara.” Translation: “Don’t worry, I’m the strongest.” The song closes with one of Yuji Itadori’s memorable lines: 「好みのタイプはジェニファー・ローレンス。よろしくおしゃす！虎杖悠仁です！」 Romanization: “Konomi no taipu wa Jenifā Rōrensu. Yoroshiku oshasu! Itadori Yūji desu!” Translation: “My type is Jennifer Lawrence. Nice to meet you! I’m Yuji Itadori!” Beyond Jujutsu Kaisen, mgk also references specific characters from other anime series. He mentions Killua from Hunter x Hunter, Krillin from Dragon Ball Z, and Ryuk from Death Note. mgk recreated the iconic Naruto run in the music video. The video appears to have been shot at Yamashiro Hollywood. mgk also name-drops video games, American animated shows, an emo rap musical group, and a Japanese fashion designer throughout the track. These references include Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat, Rick and Morty, Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog, GothBoiClique, and Issey Miyake. mgk has frequently spoken about anime in interviews and has regularly discussed anime-related topics through his Instagram Stories, X (formerly Twitter), and Discord. “JJK” highlights the knowledge and passion he has built through years of exploring anime culture.
