Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 Teaser: Japanese Fans React — "There Are Lies in This World Better Left Untold"
「この世にはついた方が良い嘘がある」— 呪術廻戦4期ティザーへの日本のファンの反応
“I'm absolutely dead at Sukuna's droopy shoulders lol”
宿儺なで肩すぎるは笑った
When the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 (Death Culling Game arc) teaser dropped in June 2026, an overseas fan immediately called out what looked like an error — Sukuna appeared without his signature tattoos — and accused MAPPA of using AI. Japanese manga readers instantly knew better, and the comment section became a gleeful gathering of people who couldn't say why the design was intentional without spoiling everything. 'There are lies in this world better left untold,' wrote the second-most-liked comment (374 likes), perfectly capturing the manga-reader stance. The recurring thread: 'I want to tell him — but telling him IS the spoiler.' Those in the know settled for cryptic inside jokes ('Today I have just one word: Kaikotsu'), while one comment bittersweet-ly mourned: 'Soon we won't see Megumi for a while.' The kicker is that the original overseas poster later claimed it was rage-bait all along — and then got roasted even harder for that.

Nice catch, honestly. I've read the manga and I still didn't notice it in the PV.
よく見つけたな。漫画読んでたけどPVで気づけなかったぞ

MAPPA: 'Let's set a trap for whoever doubts our work lol'
MAPPA「俺らの仕事を疑ったやつに罠仕掛けてやろうぜｗｗ」

I want to tell him... but telling him IS the spoiler.
教えてあげたいけど…教えたらネタバレになっちゃう
- @カエル-v6n👍 33
People were absolutely rushing to his posts to spoil him — I was genuinely laughing.
この人に嬉々としてネタバレをしに行ってる人がいてマジで笑った
- @てん-d1q👍 172
The original poster later tweeted 'my notification sound woke me up, I'm done rage-baiting' — and then got wrecked even harder for that. I'm deceased.
これの元ツイ主後に「通知音がうるさくて起きた、もうレイジベイトしないよ」って呟いたらさらにボコボコに叩かれてて笑った
- @pH-kc6mg👍 20
If they'd just stayed quiet, they could've stayed blissfully ignorant until it actually aired...
余計な事を言わなければ何も知らずにいられたのに……(放送されるまで)
- @れおなるど博士👍 56
'When approval-seeking goes too far, nothing good comes of it.' Never thought I'd learn a life lesson from Jujutsu Kaisen...
「承認欲求が極まるとロクな事が無い」 まさか呪術廻戦で生活の学びを得るとは…
- @GAMIGAMI1914👍 55
Right now, I have just one word: 'Kaikotsu.'
今はただ一言「契闊」
- @ケイ-w9s👍 3
Sukuna: 'I told you, didn't I? That you'd get to see something interesting.'
宿儺「言っただろう、面白いものが見れると」
- @gon_gitsune👍 6
I'm genuinely happy someone is watching this closely.
ちゃんと見てくれてて嬉しいよ
- @1128k👍 43
Soon we won't be seeing Megumi for a while 😢
もうすぐ、しばらく恵ちゃんに会えなくなるよ🥲
- @Suica018👍 3
Well, his shape does appear a few times...
まあ姿は何度か見れるから…
- @kuRi-i8f👍 3
Yeah, it'll wreck you. But trust me — what you see will be incredible.
まあ鬱にはなる。面白いものが見れると思うよ。
- @樋口裕基👍 31
All I'll say is: Sukuna moves.
宿儺が動くだけ言っておこう
- @ヒョンス-q4j👍 2
I'm so jealous of anime-only fans... I'd love to experience this part fresh again.
アニメ勢が羨ましい….俺ももう一回初見でここ見たい
- @user-yl5wj2xd4g👍 1
Noticing 'no tattoos' was actually a fair observation. Jumping to 'is this AI?' was where it went wrong.
「模様が無い」までは良かった。「AIか？」が駄目だった
- @どんな女がタイプだ-l7k👍 6
The overseas bro got completely reversed. I'm done lol.
海外ニキ返り討ちにあってて草

So glad I read the manga before watching this video.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeJujutsu Kaisen: Japanese Fans Debate If Sukuna's Slashes Are Actually Fast — "The real cheat is that they're invisible"
On Jujutsu Kaisen, Japanese fans pushed back hard on the claim that Sukuna's Cleave and Dismantle aren't fast. The debate splits three ways: that the real broken part is the slashes being "invisible" with no wind-up, that Mahoraga adapted at the moment the technique activated rather than reacting to blade speed, and that Maki only got clipped while frozen from a Black Flash. Plus a running joke about speed-adjustable slashes that ends on the obvious troll read.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeJujutsu Kaisen Season 4 (Culling Game) PV: Japanese Fans React — "Sorry, Yuji, but I LOVE the face you make when you despair"
The Season 4 PV for Jujutsu Kaisen — MAPPA's adaptation of the Culling Game (死滅回游) arc — dropped, and the top Japanese reactions zeroed in on the fight the fandom has been waiting years for: Hakari vs Kashimo. The most-liked comment is a manga reader cheerfully admitting he can't wait for the suffering to start ("the Yuji-torture accelerates from here"), and that gallows-humor anticipation set the tone for the whole thread. The recurring themes were pure hype: relief that Hakari's broken Domain "wasn't nerfed," fan theories about the color of his cursed energy shifting as his odds climb, awe at MAPPA's insane workload (they're making Chainsaw Man at the same time — and once juggled this AND Attack on Titan), and surprisingly sharp art-direction takes contrasting Part 1's deliberately grimy look with this PV's brighter, cleaner color. And at the very end, the PV flashes the 契闊 ("Keikatsu") scene one more time — a quiet gut-punch that manga readers immediately clocked as MAPPA twisting the knife.

📖 MangaMangaYouTubeJujutsu Kaisen — Gojo vs. Sukuna: How Japanese Fans Actually Settle the Debate: "Gojo Said It Himself, He Doubts He'd Have Won"
Gojo vs. Sukuna is the fight English-speaking Jujutsu Kaisen fans never stop power-scaling — and a top Japanese reaction-compilation video put the same question (Satoru Gojo vs. a Heian-era, full-power Sukuna with no Ten Shadows) to a Japanese comment section of over 600. The most-liked takes do not split down the middle the way Western threads do. The thread that rises to the top keeps circling back to one piece of evidence: Gojo himself, at the airport, says it was "doubtful he'd have won even without the Ten Shadows," and the highest-voted Japanese fans treat that line as close to a confession. From there the discussion gets technical fast — that Gojo's opening 200% Hollow Purple only landed because of Utahime's buff and Ijichi hiding the wind-up, that Cursed Technique Reversal: Red has no real speed at range, that a creature with four arms and an open Domain just out-bodies him in close quarters — before settling on a recurring verdict ("run it ten times, Sukuna takes six to eight") that's noticeably less Gojo-friendly than the consensus overseas. It builds to the exact punchline a Japanese reader would land on.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeOne Piece: Japanese Fans Revolt Against THE ONE PIECE Remake — "Finish the Manga First"
When THE ONE PIECE — the Netflix-backed remake of the original One Piece anime — dropped its teaser in June 2026, Japan's manga fanbase erupted. The top comment, with 431 likes, called it 'a remake of a manga that's literally mid-meltdown and still unfinished.' The dominant fear wasn't the remake itself but that Oda would use it to retroactively insert Nika-related foreshadowing into the East Blue arc — 'they'll add scenes that never existed and call them foreshadowing.' A second flash point was the aging voice cast: veteran Tanaka Mayumi (Luffy's VA, now in her 70s) reportedly turned it down once before accepting, and fans were furious she was being asked to restart a 1,000-plus episode journey. The sardonic close: 'Can you even call it a remake if the original isn't finished? ...Honestly, in a way, it already is.'
