manga returned , having been on hiatus due to the author's health issues. But about a month ago, it's back with a vengeance, and it's restarted with a powerful reference to a cinematic classic.
Jujutsu Manga – Back from Hiatus
Now, who doesn't remember the anime , which was by far the biggest hit of 2020? And we have news, because on December 24th, we'll have the premiere of the film called Jujutsu Kaisen 0! But, on the other hand, the manga had been on hiatus since the beginning of June due to the author's health issues. However, he's just returned after about a month off and is fully charged to bring us the manga's developments.
Thus, today, August 1st, we will have the official return of the manga with chapter 153. However, it returns not only bringing several new features, but also a great reference to one of the greatest classics of international cinema.
Jujutsu Manga – Movie Reference
Soon, we see in chapter 153 a major reference to Fight Club. This book, written by Chuck Palahniuk in 1996, was later adapted into a worldwide hit film of the same name. It's worth highlighting the film, which revolves around "two" young men who decide to set up a men's fight club with strict rules. The plot unfolds captivatingly and offers harsh critiques and reflections on society, including rampant consumerism, freedom, and dreams.
Consequently, when the Jujutsu Kaisen manga returns, we see our protagonist and Fushiguro going to a Fight Club that serves the same purpose as in the film. Furthermore, one of the characters' lines is the same as in the film: "Rule 1 of Fight Club: Don't talk about Fight Club." Therefore, the author's reference and his effort to clarify it become increasingly clear.
Conclusion
Ultimately, Fight Club is a very complex and absurd film. So, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend doing so now. But in any case, it's very difficult to know what the author meant by this obvious reference. He may be referring to the pressures he faced to return to the work, the growing consumerism of his work, or he simply saw the film while resting and decided to use that idea for the manga.
In short, I believe that if there's any mystery behind this, only time will tell. In other words, we can only patiently await the next chapters to see how the story and the Fight Club Yuji has started attending unfold.
So guys, that was my special post for today, and I hope you enjoyed it. Any criticism or suggestions, leave them in the comments, and see you next time!
