In the world of social media, the Twitter user known as "卡卡喬喬 (@xdxderen7)" became a viral sensation by raising serious accusations against the production team of the second season of "Jujutsu Kaisen". The video shared by fans suggests that the animation made by MAPPA would be "copying" scenes and styles from different anime, including giant animes such as "One Piece", "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann", "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and "One Punch Man".

The shared video raises crucial questions about originality in Japanese animation . By examining scenes that allegedly show similarities between scenes from different franchises, a fan debate erupts on X (formerly Twitter).

Check it out:

Were these creative homages or blatant plagiarism? While some point to undeniable similarities, others defend artistic freedom and mutual inspiration between the creators. So you can follow the reactions on social media, with hashtags like #JujutsuKaisenCopyGate gaining traction.

Amid this controversy, the "Jujutsu Kaisen" production team faces a significant challenge. Transparency is crucial, and fans are eager for clarification on the plagiarism allegations. How will this impact the series' reputation and the future of production?

However, there may be continuity within the team of animators, the same professionals who contributed to the original scenes. It's understandable that these animators, under pressure from tight deadlines, choose to reuse their previous material as a viable strategy.

Therefore, the controversy surrounding the second season of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is more than just a clash between fans; it's a reflection of the constant search for originality in the anime industry.

Finally, the 2nd season of “Jujutsu Kaisen” came to an end on Thursday (27), fans can rest assured that MAPPA Studios has already announced that the third season is underway, promising more emotions.
