UFC Star Max Holloway Gives Jujutsu Kaisen a Cosplay Shoutout

It’s hard to argue that Halloween 2022 hasn’t been dominated by anime costumes from celebrities, with Megan Thee Stallion showing off her new fit as My Hero Academia‘s Mirko and Alicia Keyes sporting a costume honoring Dragon Ball Super‘s God of Destruction, Beerus. Not to be outdone, a former UFC star and his partner have taken the opportunity to honor Yuji Itadori of Jujutsu Kaisen fame, along with his fellow classmates that have helped push the shonen series to new heights.

On the Jujutsu Kaisen front, fans should prepare for the second season’s arrival to hit next year in 2023. While Yuji Itadori will return as the protagonist in the upcoming new episodes, following his hiatus in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, a new story arc will follow Gojo in his earlier days, long before the Jujutsu Tech teacher had taken the Shonen protagonist under his wing. While the second season from Studio MAPPA will not follow the effects of the prequel film directly, expect events from Yuta Okkotsu’s life to play a role in the upcoming episodes and a potential appearance from the feature-length film’s star in the process. 

UFC Kaisen

UFC Star Max Holloway took the opportunity to share his Halloween outfit, along with his partner’s, as the pair brought Yuji Itadori and Nobara to life following the supernatural Shonen franchise’s runaway popularity that has helped to make it one of Shonen Jump’s highest selling manga:

While Jujutsu Kaisen is preparing to bring back its anime adaptation next year, the manga by creator Gege Akutami is still running strong with the Culling Game continuing to present Yuji and his friends with some serious problems. Ironically, the most popular character in the franchise, Gojo, has been incapacitated for quite some time as the Jujutsu Tech teacher remains trapped within a supernatural prison. With Gojo not only being the most popular character, but one of the most powerful, Yuji and his companions are in quite a pickle. 

In the past, Gege Akutami has hinted at the idea that the end is near for the wildly popular anime, though a final chapter release date is far from being confirmed at this point.
