Since today’s Yuji Itadori’s birthday (3/20) ☺️ here are a few fun facts about him:
• His first name 悠二 comes from Gege’s old classmate, while his surname 虎杖comes from a flower used in medicinal remedy. 虎 also means “tiger”
This flower also makes an appearance in Ch. 145
• He’s actually popular among girls! Even tho he himself doesn’t know about it, it’s mainly with girls who don’t talk about their own feelings
• Yuji is both the best cook AND singer out of the 1st year Tokyo students. How’s that for being attractive?
• Yuji’s usage of Taidō (躰道), the Manji Kick, during his Shibuya fight with Mahito was so impressive it even got a shout-out from Tetsuji Nakano, a famous Taidō martial artist who’s won many inter/national titles
• Lastly, the fight scene between Choso & Yuji (Ch. 104) was inspired by the film “Raid 2,” after Gege himself saw Fujimoto-sensei doing smth similar in Chainsaw Man (Ch. 62)
There’s never any shortage of intense choreography when it comes to the Tiger of West Junior High
Couple of corrections: Yuji’s first name is written as 悠仁, and the flower’s appearance is from Ch. 143
I hope y’all learned something fun about Yuji. Here’s to more appearances of him and no more year-long absences!
