If you're a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, you've probably already fallen in love with one of the series' most charismatic characters: Nanami Kento. So, in this post, we'll relive Nanami's 15 best moments Jujutsu Kaisen universe !
Nanami's Best Moments – Top 15
15. Everyone sucks up to Gojo, but not Nanami
Satoru Gojo is the center of attention in Jujutsu Kaisen , admired by his students and even more so by the more experienced sorcerers, even though he puts up with Gojo's ego and childish attitude. Nanami, on the other hand, has a more serious and pragmatic approach to life. The dynamic between them is amusing precisely because they are polar opposites in their perspectives and behaviors.
14. He held the record for most consecutive Black Flashes
Following Yuta Okkotsu's story, the film introduced fans to the real Suguru Geto for the first time. It also gave viewers a demonstration of some of the other sorcerer's abilities during the Kyoto disaster. He was absolutely epic in this scene, and although it was a chaotic fight, he landed four consecutive Black Flashes against the curses he was fighting.
13. Nanami proves she's more like Gojo than he'd admit
Not much is known about how he became a Jujutsu Sorcerer, except that he was recruited into Jujutsu High as a first-year student alongside Yu Haibara when Gojo and Geto were second-years. One of the ironic things about Nanami at the time was that, like Gojo, he wasn't exactly thrilled about going on missions. It was an inconvenient chore, and he complained about it a lot.
12. His first meeting with Mahito was epic
Their opening fight is an intense back-and-forth battle that serves as the first display of the sorcerer's true strength in the series. Both Mahito and Nanami reveal the full extent of their cursed techniques to each other for the first time, making it all the more thrilling to watch as they battle back and forth.
11. Nanami explains her philosophy of life
Thus, one of the most revealing moments about Nanami's personality occurs in the first few minutes of her introduction to the series. Itadori is struck by how serious Nanami is as a person, and how high the standards he holds his students from the beginning. In response, Nanami tells Yuji, "I don't praise or belittle anyone. I follow the facts and judge based on that: it's who I am. There was a time when I mistakenly believed that society worked the same way."
Nanami's Best Moments – Top 10
10. He and Itadori understand each other for the first time
During their first encounter with Mahito's minions, Nanami and Itadori learn a valuable lesson from each other. Just as they are about to deliver the decisive blows to their opponents, Nanami realizes that the "curses" they were fighting were actually transfigured humans all along. This is a pivotal moment between mentor and student, as it truly reveals the depth of Itadori's empathy.
09. Jujutsu Sorcerer sucks, and he's not afraid to say so
The first time he meets Yuji Itadori, Nanami doesn't mince words about his opinion of the world of Jujutsu Sorcery. He tells Itadori, "I also went to your school, and there I learned one thing: Jujutsu Sorcerers are terrible!" After attending Jujutsu School, Nanami went to work for a large corporation, which he quickly learned was also terrible.
08. He works overtime
When confronting Mahito for the first time, Nanami recognizes that this is a fight that will last much longer than expected. Coming from a corporate environment, Nanami has too much respect for her own time to allow the fight to continue past six o'clock. Furthermore, later in the novel, we see that overtime is one of her most powerful techniques.
07. Nanami and Yuji overwhelm Mahito with a combined attack
Although Yuji's ability to directly strike his opponent's soul made him a natural enemy for Mahito, the latter still proved to be quite powerful in the long run. Just as Mahito was about to deliver a final blow to Yuji, Nanami appeared out of nowhere to block Mahito's attack.
06. What would Nanami do in this situation?
Nanami's time in Jujutsu Kaisen seems relatively short, especially now that the manga has ended. That said, he left a legacy of positivity in his wake that even he didn't expect. In one of Ino's memories, he was having lunch with Nanami sometime before the Shibuya Incident, and it's obvious from the start that he greatly admired the older man. He wanted Nanami's recommendation to become a grade one sorcerer, a recommendation Nanami didn't believe he truly needed.

05. The fight against Dagon
Despite Dagon's initial appearance, he was much stronger than he seemed. Working with Naobito and Maki, Nanami managed to gain the upper hand initially, but things took a horrific turn from there.
04. His final moments bring him unexpected peace.
There's no relief in being a Jujutsu sorcerer. Each day is an uphill battle with no end in sight. Suguru Geto never shared his dark thoughts about what awaited them at the end when Haibara died, but it's a feeling most sorcerers have probably considered more than once. So much death, so much violence, and so much of it meaningless, the life they lead breeds bitterness, anger, and resentment, and it's not easy for any of them to imagine the end as any kind of liberation.
03. His last words to Yuji will remain eternal
Nanami's final moments before being killed by Mahito were some of the most special in the series so far. All Nanami wanted from life was to retire and live peacefully on an island somewhere, so his vision of walking on the beach while fighting Mahito's minions serves to show how he truly found peace as a Sorcerer in the end.
02. Haruta's defeat is noteworthy
of Nanami's best moments in Season 2 was her complete domination of Haruta during the Shibuya Incident. It showed just how advanced Nanami is as a sorcerer; and how terrifyingly powerful he can become when angered.
01. He remembers the moment he stopped running away
Ultimately, while trapped within Mahito's Domain Expanse, Nanami has no choice but to accept his fate. In what he perceives as his final moments, Nanami reflects on the events that led him to return to Jujutsu school after working a corporate salary job for two years.
