Jujutsu Kaisen's quotes that strike the heart: memorable lines that drew attention in the anime and film

Who says we’re obligated to live up to perfection or unfair demands!? Is your whole life just your job!?Nobara Kugisaki

Jujutsu Kaisen Nobara Kugisaki: 'Is your life just work or something?'

Besides this line, she has many other famous quotes.

Her emotionally charged personality—brimming with, what would you call it, manly spirit? womanly spirit?—is truly reassuring.

Her jujutsu ability is a bit underwhelming compared to other characters, but her physical strength is outstanding.

As a country-girl-type character, she often provides plenty of laughs.

Here is a line where her emotions explode.

Let’s etch her words into our hearts so life doesn’t turn into a mere dead-rubber match just for the sake of living!

“Winning by dying” and “winning even if you die” are completely different.Satoru Gojo

Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen) quote: “There’s a huge difference between ‘winning by dying’ and ‘winning even if you die.’” #shorts

Gojo Satoru said these words because Megumi Fushiguro has a last-resort technique that would kill himself but take down his opponent as well, which makes him underestimate fights.

Megumi’s trump card is “win by dying,” but if he truly steels himself and decides he will absolutely win, the words that come out become “win even if I die.” It’s a line that teaches the mindset you should have going into a fight.

That person is my benefactor. Treat them more politely than a butterfly, more politely than a flower…!!Yuta Okkotsu

A quote from Yuta Okkotsu, one of only four special-grade jujutsu sorcerers in Japan.

He directs it at Rika Orimoto, the special-grade vengeful cursed spirit attached to him, and the commanding tone—so unlike the gentle, kind image of Yuta—really leaves an impression.

The phrase “more than butterflies, more than flowers” suggests just how much Yuta respects and feels indebted to Maki Zen’in.

The word choice also seems to stoke Rika Orimoto’s jealousy, which is exquisite.

It’s a line that showcases the range and depth of Yuta Okkotsu as a character.

It’s the accumulation of those small disappointments that turns a person into an adult.Kento Nanami

[Jujutsu Kaisen] Kento Nanami: “It’s the accumulation of those small despairs that turns a person into an adult.”

The suffering we encounter as we walk through life has a profound impact on our hearts and can even bring us to a halt.

These are lines from Kento Nanami that speak to how we can perceive such despair and turn it into the strength to move forward.

He says that the despair we face along the way is an important opportunity to learn, and that stacking up those lessons is what it means to become an adult.

Rather than standing frozen in despair, his words give us the courage to keep going without losing heart.

I don’t know how I’ll die, but I don’t want to have regrets about how I live.Yuji Itadori

I don’t know what’ll happen when I die… — Yuji Itadori (Jujutsu Kaisen)

You fight a strong enemy and defeat them, then an even stronger enemy appears; beat that one, and an even, even stronger foe shows up…

Even though we know it’s the classic Weekly Shonen Jump formula, it’s still what makes Jump manga so irresistible.

Jujutsu Kaisen, which has charged through the Heisei and Reiwa eras, is one of those series packed with that appeal.

Early in the story, during the meeting with the principal, Itadori delivers a line while staring straight ahead.

With that line, you could see all of Itadori’s inner strength and pure conviction.

I’m almost jealous of anyone who hasn’t read Jujutsu Kaisen yet!

“Indifference” is precisely the virtue that humans ought to attain.Junpei Yoshino

Showing interest in others may seem like a good thing, but getting involved where it’s not necessary can lead to trouble, right? These are the words of Junpei Yoshino, who says that indifference is a virtue—both to prevent trouble sparked by curiosity and to protect one’s own heart.

It’s a way of thinking that serves as a means to shield oneself from suffering, so there’s a sense of loneliness in it, too.

But it also prompts us to consider the balance between interest and indifference.

If we could let go of excessive concern and approach people with a spirit of forgiveness, perhaps we could reduce conflict in the world.

Itadori, tell everyone: ‘It wasn’t bad’!!Nobara Kugisaki

Kugisaki: “It wasn’t bad!!” Nobara Kugisaki’s Last Moments [Jujutsu Kaisen]

Just before she fell to Mahito’s attack, Nobara Kugisaki’s famous words to Yuji Itadori.

In her short 16 years, the line—embracing both the good and the bad—paints one of the series’ most shocking scenes.

The impact is heightened because it’s the words of Nobara Kugisaki, who lost her life so young, but regardless of age, there are few who could feel the same when their own life is about to end.

It’s a quote born from facing her life head-on and, however awkwardly, giving it everything she had.
