Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 8 is gathering a lot of attention ahead of its official release, and that’s because a famous voice actor from Boruto will make their debut in the upcoming episode.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has entered its Shibuya Arc, and till now, we have been introduced to several new faces. The series will bring another such character, Ui Ui, to the frame, whose design have already surfaced on social media.

However, more than seeing the new character on their screens, fans are going crazy hearing about their voice actor, who’s already known for their incredible work in several other famous anime series, including Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

Mei Mei was trending on Twitter as fans were showing their immense love for the character, and now, it seems like it’s her brother’s time to shine on the screen.

Boruto voice actor enters Jujutsu Kaisen Universe as Ui Ui

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’s upcoming episode will bring none other than Yuko Sanpei to the spotlight as the voice actor for Ui Ui. She also voiced Naruto’s son Boruto in the popular anime series.

The voice actor voices the younger version of Ui Ui in the series. Besides being a part of Boruto and now Jujutsu Kaisen, Sanpei’s previous performances include Kimi Ni Todoke’s Chizuru Yoshida and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood’s Selim.

Now, talking about Ui Ui, it’s worth noting that the young boy plays a vital role in the Shibuya Incident Arc alongside our main protagonist Yuji Itadori. Ui Ui is Mei Mei’s brother who worships his sister and wants to be at her side no matter how complex the situation is. If someone hurts Mei Mei or disrespects her, Ui Ui develops a strong dislike for that person.

Moreover, don’t judge Ui Ui by his age as he appears to be a kid, but his intellect and maturity level make him way superior to the children of his generation.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 8 will arrive on Crunchyroll and Netflix (in selected areas) soon, so let’s get ready for the episode to hit the screens with this new and fascinating entry.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple: 

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world.
  2. Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica.
  3. Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched.

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference. For example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows. 

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan. Or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
