Jujutsu Kaisen fans compare Nanami’s half-burnt look with this Breaking Bad character
Crunchyroll and Viz MediaJujutsu Kaisen anime is breaking millions of hearts with every passing episode. For instance, the tenth episode of Season 2 featured Gojo getting sealed, and now, the recent episode came with the brutal death of our beloved Nanami.
Even when the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen wasn’t officially out, fans started gushing over the preview images that surfaced online beforehand, especially the one that featured Nanami’s smiling face. If we compare it to the manga, it looks like the anime had tried to make his death sequence more emotional.
However, while every fan was mourning Nanami’s death, we came across a post on Twitter comparing the character’s final appearance with a popular character in the live-action series Breaking Bad.
Let’s figure out why the fandom has compared the scenes from two totally different entertainment mediums.
Why is Nanami’s last appearance being compared to Gus Fring from Breaking Bad?
Gus Fring is one of the bad guys from Breaking Bad who gets one of the most horrifying deaths in the series. While he tries to inject poison into the body of his enemy, he is killed by the same person through a pipe bomb explosion. After that, Gus Fring was seen walking outside the hospital room, adjusting his tie. However, before Gus collapses on the ground, we see his half-burnt face.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Nanami gets half-burnt after his confrontation with Jogo. We then see Nanami’s unfortunate state in the latest episode of the anime series, which indeed reminds us of Gus Fring’s face before his death. Nanami fights several transfigured humans before meeting his dark fate at the hands of Mahito. In his final moments, Nanami looks at Yuji and entrusts the safety of his remaining peers to the boy, who screams his mentor’s name in agony.
We have seen several characters with half-burnt faces before, including Two-Face from the Batman franchise. However, fans are comparing Breaking Bad’s Gus Fring with Nanami because both of them died soon after getting half-burnt. Also, let’s not forget that both Gus and Nanami had an undying love for suits.
