Curiosities about the characters of Jujutsu Kaisen

Summary

• The faculty and students of Jujutsu High are all single, with one faculty member, Masamichi Yaga, divorced.
• Yuji is not only a skilled fighter but also an excellent singer and chef among his friends.
• Satoru Gojo, one of the most powerful sorcerers, surprisingly has a low tolerance for alcohol.

Jujutsu Kaisen pays close attention to your characters' stats and abilities. Furthermore, with so much plot to tell, the anime cannot reveal much of the personal lives of the teachers and students of Jujutsu High. Luckily, Gege Akutami gives dedicated fans the full scoop Jujutsu Kaisen: The Official Character Guide.

Akutami's guide provides plenty of behind-the-scenes tidbits about fan-favorite characters, including chronicled interviews, detailed character Q&As, and chapter commentary. So, what details does the JJK fanbook reveal? Are any of the teachers at Jujutsu High dating? Who is the best chef? Who can hold alcohol and who can't? You'll have to keep reading to find out!

Jujutsu Kaisen: The Official Character Guide
only covers JJK volumes 1-15.

The students and faculty of Jujutsu High are single

One faculty member is divorced

JJK viewers saw Nobara and Megumi settle Yuji and Yuka in Season 2, Episode 30, “That's It.” And the unrequited love Mechamaru has for Miwa is a significant B-plot. But the other characters find themselves in a situation where “is this it?”

Akutami said that only one Jujutsu High faculty member was married, Masamichi Yaga. However, he is now divorced. The mangaka does not reveal whether his former partner is a sorcerer or not.

Otherwise, according to Akutami, all the teachers and students at Jujutsu High are bachelors, which is why they can cook and clean for themselves. (Sorry, YutaMaki fans. No confirmations for you. No news for you either, SatoSugus.)

For those interested in Nobara Kugisaki, Akutami revealed his preferences in a partner. When asked what kind of man her type was, Akutami responded with Oda Nobunaga. A brash leader with a short fuse who practices martial arts? Yes. It seems compatible with Kugisaki's temperament.

Akutami's Guide showcases its characters' limited flirting skills. In the “Tell Us! Akutami Sensei Collection” section, the author confirms that Itadori was not popular in his old school because the girls interested in him did not know how to communicate their feelings. So, he probably has no idea when someone has a crush on him.

Megumi Fushigoro is another example of someone severely lacking in the dating game. When asked how the sorcerer prodigy would turn down someone interested in him, Akutami replied, “I'm sorry.” Ugh. It's embarrassing.

Yuji has several talents besides fighting

He's a wizard in the kitchen

While Yuji is renowned for his physical talents and his ability as a vessel, he also has several hidden talents. When asked about Juju Stroll karaoke in volume 2, Akutami stated that Yuji is the best singer in his friend group.

Itadori also boasts top-notch chef skills in the kitchen. In the “Party Character Questions and Answers” section, Akutami responded to a question regarding Itadori's cooking:

• “Q: Itadori is the best cook among the first years, but who is the better cook between Fushigoro and Kugisaki?”
• “A: They are more or less the same thing. They both know how to cook to a certain extent.”

Satoru Gojo is a lightweight

One of the sillier bits of Akutami's “Group Character Q&A” is an analysis of the teacher's drinking habits. Each drinker category received Akutami's first choice and a runner-up.

Who would have thought that one of the most powerful sorcerers in jujutsu sorcery couldn't handle his alcohol? Although, when you think about it, Gojo's low tolerance makes sense. Someone with Six Eyes must feel the effects of alcohol more acutely due to their heightened senses.

Utahime's ranking ahead of Naobito as the sloppiest drinker is more surprising. One would assume that Naobito would rank first, considering he spent the entire Shibuya incident intoxicated.

Ranking Shoko and Kento as the heaviest drinkers makes more sense. Usually, the heaviest drinkers are the best at keeping their cool – and those two know how to keep their cool. Additionally, Shoko smokes cigarettes, and according to the National Institute of Health, smokers are 1.32 times more likely to drink than nonsmokers.
