The setting is similar to "Harry Potter". Japanese supernatural monster experts talk about "Jujutsu Kaisen"

The latest animated film of the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen", which has been gaining popularity recently, has surpassed 10 billion at the box office. Although it is not as high as "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", it is unmatched among many well-known anime. On March 16, foreign media interviewed a well-known Japanese expert on supernatural monsters, and let's learn about every detail of "Jujutsu Kaisen".

•The following opinions come from Kazuhiko Komatsu, the leading figure in the Japanese spiritual, paranormal, and monster research community, and professor emeritus of the International Center for Japanese Studies:

•Both "Demon Slayer" and "Jujutsu Kaisen" involve the theme of "curse", but one has an ancient background and the other has a modern background.

•In a sense, "Jujutsu Kaisen" can be called the Japanese version of "Harry Potter", both of which tell the story of students learning magic spells in a magic school.

•The “curse” in “Jujutsu Kaisen” is different from its usual meaning. It actually refers to the evil spirits caused by human negative emotions.

•“Spell” is defined as the act of fulfilling a certain wish by mysterious means.

•Recalling the representative work of the Western genre, "Harry Potter", the "curse" in "Jujutsu Kaisen" here is closer to black magic.

•The curse-master Inumaji in "Jujutsu Kaisen" has a mantra similar to that chanted in esoteric Buddhism, and can be considered a typical example of "the interpretation of curses".

•The character names and descriptions of various spells in the two works "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" and "Jujutsu Kaisen" are very complex and obscure.
