Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Gege Akutami Finally Confirms Uraume’s Gender Origins

by

As a die-hard Jujutsu Kaisen fan, I can’t help but feel like I’ve stumbled upon a hidden temple of secrets with Gege Akutami’s recent revelation about Uraume’s gender identity. Being an ardent reader since the series’ inception, I’ve watched Uraume transform from a cryptic figure to a character with a rich backstory that adds another layer to the already intricate world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, has finally shed light on a question that has long puzzled fans about Uraume’s gender. In a post-series disclosure, Akutami revealed that Uraume, who is closely tied to the powerful sorcerer Sukuna, was originally male but took on a female form in a later existence. This revelation caught many viewers off guard due to Uraume’s enigmatic past and infrequent appearances in the anime series.

For fans who’ve only seen Jujutsu Kaisen as an anime, Uraume has played a relatively significant yet subtle part during the Shibuya Incident storyline, employing their potent ice-based cursed abilities to aid Sukuna. However, they are more extensively featured in the Culling Game Arc of the manga, where Uraume’s loyalty and strength are demonstrated more thoroughly.

In Akutami’s remarks, we gain deeper insight into Uraume’s persona and past, with a revelation that the character had initially been male. However, due to an agreement with Kenjaku, a formidable adversary in the series, Uraume underwent a transformation. This deal resulted in Uraume being reborn in a female body, as per Akutami’s explanation, this gender switch was a result of the intricate dynamics at play within the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. The author, Akutami, intended to highlight this aspect in Volume 27 of the manga; however, health concerns delayed its inclusion until later, as shared by Comicbook.

Akutami’s manga, titled “Jujutsu Kaisen,” has recently come to an end in Weekly Shonen Jump. Despite this, the series continues to maintain a dedicated fanbase. The popularity of the series has given rise to one of many fascinating aspects for fans – Uraume’s unique gender identity. Now that the manga is completed, the creator can delve deeper into this aspect, providing further insight into Uraume’s background and motivations, adding layers to the characters’ personal stories.

As an over-the-moon fan, I’m keeping a close eye on Jujutsu Kaisen’s anime progression. The announcement of season three has sent me into a frenzy! Studio MAPPA has confirmed that it’s in the works, and it’ll cover the Culling Game Arc – can you imagine? Yet, they haven’t disclosed a release date as of now. With MAPPA’s jam-packed schedule, we might not see season three until 2025 or beyond. But hey, the franchise’s massive fanbase is holding on to hope! This upcoming season promises to bring Uraume’s complete character journey to life and unravel more complexities in the power struggles faced by our hero, Yuji Itadori, and his comrades. Bring it on, Jujutsu Kaisen season three!

As the animated series aligns with the comic book, viewers are eagerly anticipating new discoveries and heated confrontations, most notably the thrilling finale against Sukuna.
