Jujutsu Kaisen’s Reference to an American Action Masterpiece is Perfect

MAPPA, the studio behind the popular anime Chainsaw Man, is known for including nods to classic American action films. They seem to be doing the same with the new season of Jujutsu Kaisen. In Season 3, Episode 5, “Passion,” Yuji and Megumi are looking for Hakari and find he’s running an underground fight club. When they enthusiastically volunteer to join, they’re immediately reminded of the first rule of fight club – a clever reference to a famous American movie that’s sure to please fans.
