Jujutsu Kaisen is a super popular anime that’s making waves worldwide, especially after its second season. Some fans are simply grieving the losses in season two, while others are going all out to show their love for the anime.
Recently, fans even gathered at Kuantan beach in Malaysia to honor Nanami Kento’s character. It seems the government is considering something more permanent to celebrate the series.
This week, a tourism official from the Malaysian government revealed exciting plans to boost tourism. Leong Yu Man announced that they’re keen on taking advantage of Kuantan beach’s popularity, especially since it was featured in Jujutsu Kaisen season two.
“Fans of the anime have marked the beach on Google Maps as a memorial to the character Nanami Kento,” Man shared. “We hope the government can get an endorsement from the creator so that the beach becomes a new attraction for anime fans around the world.”
According to the executive, fans have requested that the tourism board in Malaysia create a permanent memorial for Nanami at the beach.
Man said the federal government is now working to contact Jujutsu Kaisen’s creator to approve such a memorial. And honestly, the whole ordeal is pretty crazy.
Jujutsu Kaisen season two, there’s a mention of Kuantan beach thanks to Nanami. During his role in the Shibuya Incident arc, Nanami finds himself seriously injured.
As he struggles across the battlefield, he expresses his wish to visit the beach in Kuantan before he dies. He even daydreams about it before tragically being killed in battle.
Following season two, fans from all over Asia and beyond visited Kuantan beach to understand Nanami’s connection. Now, officials in Malaysia are gearing up to honor Nanami in their own surprising way.
