The ambitious project to erect a monument in honor of the
character Kento Nanami from “ Jujutsu Kaisen ”
has not yet begun in Malaysia. Leong Yu Man of the Pahang
Ministry of Unity, Tourism and Culture explained that the construction
of the monument , which has experienced a delay of more than four
months, is being delayed due to copyright issues and other issues.
According to Yu Man, a meeting was held in December last
year between representatives of the state government and the anime publisher.
" This matter has taken time due to copyright issues and
various other things ," he explained. « We have to
go through intermediaries to get in touch with anime creators. But we are also
trying to dialogue with the company that owns the copyright of the character.
Discussions are still ongoing and we hope they will be resolved soon »,
He added during a press conference at the Pahang Tourism Office.
The idea for the monument arose after last November, in
Episode 42 of “ Jujutsu Kaisen ,” the sorcerer Kento
Nanami expressed a desire to build a house and spend time reading books in
Kuantan before his imminent death . This revelation prompted the
Government of Pahang (whose capital is Kuantan) to plan the construction of a
memorial for Nanami, which
unexpectedly brought global attention to the beaches
of Kuantan. Some even marked the area as the 'Kento Nanami Monument' on
Google Maps.
" The marked place was near Kempadang Beach,
however, it was removed ," said Yu Man. In another
development, the official assured that tourists can still visit Pahang safely.
Despite recent incidents such as a casino fight, Yu Man stressed that Malaysia
remains a safe country for visitors. « In general, Malaysia remains
a peaceful country. There may be some incidents at times, but the safety of
tourists and everyone is always the priority of the authorities »,
She concluded.
Of the many character deaths in the second
season of “Jujutsu Kaisen,” Nanami's was especially painful for fans. The
sorcerer's end was not only devastating, but also brutally prolonged. Viewers
watched as Nanami drifted in and out of consciousness in a ruthless battle
against Mahito. Faced with his imminent death, he began to hallucinate
a different version of his life in which he had followed his dream of moving to
Kuantan Beach in Malaysia.
