In the most recent episode of Jujutsu Kaisen , viewers were left in tears due to the emotional farewell between Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto . The fifth episode of the “ Hidden Inventory/Untimely Death Arc ” left fans heartbroken as these two great friends said their goodbyes.
However, what surprised fans even more was the reaction from the fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken, commonly known as KFC. The famous fried chicken brand showed its empathy with the pain of the fans by commenting on the sad moment that was experienced in the series.
" Watching the SatoSugu break was more difficult from behind the cash register ," KFC said from its official site. This unexpected statement generated a great wave of reactions among the followers of Jujutsu Kaisen and fans of the fast food chain.
The fifth episode of this second season of the anime made a remarkable branding of various brands during this significant moment, but the timely presence of a KFC branch in the background during the emotional farewell caught everyone's attention.
Fans of the series and KFC lovers have turned to social networks to share their surprise and excitement at the fast food chain's reaction. Some praised the originality of the advertising, while others expressed sadness at the farewell to these iconic characters.
By the way, the presence of a KFC in the episode was not something original, but it appears from Gege Akutami's manga. An in-depth analysis of the scene was shared by the user “ @_maihor ” on Twitter. Based on his research, he was intrigued by how long it took Gojo to reach Shinjuku for his breakout and decided to investigate the precise locations.
According to “@_maihor”, Geto and Shoko most likely met in the smoking area in front of Seibu Shinjuku Station. The confrontation between Gojo and Geto occurred just a three-minute walk from the smoking area. The funny thing is that the name of the street where the scene took place is Memory Lane (思い出横丁). An impressive coincidence that adds additional meaning to the emotional farewell between the characters.
The analysis also indicates that right in front of the place where the farewell took place, there were two contrasting establishments: a KFC and a restaurant called Teradaya, specializing in kaisendon (a bowl of rice covered with various ingredients). Again, the contrast between these two food options can be considered an interesting symbolic coincidence in the context of the breakup between Gojo and Geto.
The user highlighted how Gege Akutami masterfully uses environment details and street names to emphasize emotions and key moments in the story. The choice of these locations may not be random and could be intended to reinforce the emotional significance of the scene. Now that you know all these details, you can wait calmly for the return of this second season, scheduled for August 31. Memories are over! We will start with the Shibuya Incident Arc!
