Jujutsu Kaisen has revealed more details about the highly anticipated Gojo Past Arc compilation movie. The new update confirmed the release date and highlighted the movie’s enhanced viewing experience. However, the announcement gained extra attention when Kim Namjoon, better known as RM from the global sensation BTS, made a heartfelt request related to the series’ supporting character, Kento Nanami.
The movie is set to premiere on May 30, 2025, as announced during a Jujutsu Kaisen panel at Anime Japan 2025. Alongside the release date, the panel confirmed that the movie would feature a 5.1-channel sound mix and special arrangements of original soundtracks to enhance the cinematic experience. This news excited fans, but RM’s social media post elevated the buzz even further.
RM took to his Instagram story (@rkive) to share the movie’s trailer, adding the caption “Bring Back Nanami.” This simple yet emotional request reflects the deep connection RM has with Jujutsu Kaisen, specifically with Nanami, whose tragic fate during the Shibuya Incident Arc remains one of the most emotional moments in the series. RM’s post quickly gained traction, with fans rallying behind his sentiment and echoing his call to bring back Nanami.

RM’s attachment to Jujutsu Kaisen highlights the growing crossover between anime and global pop culture. His call to “Bring Back Nanami” underscores how deeply fans, even celebrities, have connected with the series’ emotional storytelling. While Nanami’s return seems unlikely given the events of the Shibuya Incident Arc, RM’s heartfelt message reflects the impact Nanami had on audiences worldwide.
Nanami’s Role in Jujutsu Kaisen
Kento Nanami was a first-grade sorcerer working for Jujutsu Tech’s Tokyo branch. Known for his calm demeanor and tactical brilliance, Nanami was one of the most skilled fighters in the series. His use of the Ratio Technique and his experience with cursed energy made him a formidable force in battles against cursed spirits.

However, Nanami’s story came to a tragic end during the Shibuya Incident Arc. After escaping Dagon’s domain in a severely injured state, Nanami continued to fight cursed spirits despite his weakened condition. His final moment came when he encountered Mahito, who fatally attacked him in front of Yuji Itadori. Nanami’s death was a devastating blow for both Yuji and the audience, marking one of the series’ most heart-wrenching scenes.
Although Nanami’s return may not be possible within the storyline, RM’s emotional request reflects how much the character meant to fans. With the Gojo Past Arc movie approaching, excitement is building not only for the action and story but also for the emotional depth that Jujutsu Kaisen consistently delivers.
