“Jujutsu Kaisen” changes a line in the English translation of the anime due to controversy

The manga Jujutsu Kaisen has been making waves among fans of the genre since it first started serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2018. Created by Gege Akutami, the story follows the exploits of a group of sorcerers who battle demons and curses to protect humanity from supernatural threats.

In the latest chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen #221, fans were treated to a much-anticipated showdown between the series’ protagonist, Satoru Gojo, and the powerful demon Sukuna, who has possessed the body of Megumi. However, a translation error in the English version of the manga caused confusion and outrage among fans, leading to a controversy that ultimately resulted in the correction of the translation.

The issue arose when Gojo was asked if he would lose in a fight against Sukuna. The original English translation had him responding with a simple “No,” which seemed to suggest that he was not worried about the challenge. However, many bilingual fans pointed out that the correct translation should have been “Nah, I’d win,” which was a direct callback to an earlier conversation in the series and conveyed a greater sense of confidence and arrogance on Gojo’s part.

While this might seem like a small detail, it is actually significant for fans of the series, who are known for their attention to detail and appreciation of complex references and hidden meanings in the story. The correction of the translation not only ensures greater consistency in the story but also allows fans to better understand the character of Gojo and the nuances of the dialogue.

The controversy also highlights the power of fan communities to influence the media they consume. Thanks to the efforts of passionate fans who raised their concerns on social media, the publisher Viz Media was forced to take notice and correct the translation. This shows that fans have a voice and can make a difference in shaping the content they love.

In the end, the corrected translation of Jujutsu Kaisen #221 is a testament to the dedication of fans and the commitment of publishers to listen to their audience. As the series continues to captivate readers around the world, it is clear that Jujutsu Kaisen is more than just a manga – it is a phenomenon that speaks to the power of storytelling and the importance of community in the world of fandom.
