Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Details the Origins of Black Flash

As a dedicated fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I’m absolutely thrilled to pieces about the latest behind-the-scenes revelation from the series creator himself, Gege Akutami, regarding the inception and creation of the iconic Black Flash move.


The artist behind “Jujutsu Kaisen” manga shares an intriguing detail about the origin of the Black Flash technique in the comic! The ongoing success of “Jujutsu Kaisen” is being commemorated through a special art exhibition now open in Japan, offering fans a closer look at the series’ artwork and production. Additionally, creator Gege Akutami has provided unique insights into the development of the manga. One such revelation unveiled the reason why Black Flash emerged as a significant move used by multiple characters in battles.

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have witnessed the Black Flash technique being executed by characters such as Yuji Itadori, Nanami Kento, and even the antagonists like Mahito throughout the storyline. During a discussion about the origin of this move, mangaka Akutami shared that it stemmed from an editor’s suggestion for a unique ability. Surprisingly, Onimusha served as Akutami’s mental representation of how the Black Flash would be employed within the series.

Jujutsu Kaisen: What Is Black Flash?

Akutami shared that when he was writing for Yuji Itadori, his editor at the time, Katayama, requested a distinctive move but nothing seemed fitting to him. Therefore, he came up with the moves “Divergent Fist” and “Black Flash.” The concept behind these moves originated from the “Flash” counterattack in the game “Onimusha,” which is commonly used during real-time attacks. Additionally, Akutami appreciated that it wasn’t a rare skill and could be employed to enhance voltage after only one use.

In the context of the show and the reliance on chance, Akutami points out that this factor creates suspense because both sides can unexpectedly employ it. It involves a degree of probability but can be repeated, leading to significant shifts in battles. Moreover, when enemies can also wield Black Flash, the tension heightens even further.
