That being said, the fanbase has gone berserk because of the references and the fact that Yuji Itadori’s voice actor, Adam McArthur, is involved in the track. The year 2024 has been one of collaborations, and fans welcomed Megan Thee Stallion’s collaboration with the protagonist’s voice actor.

Yuji Itadori is the series’s protagonist, and there were plenty of iconic moments in the anime. However, one that stood out was his introduction to Aoi Todo. He spoke about his preferences in women and told him about certain things he looks for in a partner. Aoi Todo and Yuji Itadori had similar preferences, which sparked their friendship. Yuji Itadori prefers tall women, much like Aoi Todo, and the two became best friends.

The exact line in the song is “I like tall women with a nice big a**,” and this exact dialog was present in the English-dubbed version of the anime series. Furthermore, the rapper went on to sample the voice actor’s sound in her track. The voice actor also recorded the line “Just saying, like Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion.”

Fans absolutely loved this move from the Houston-based rapper since it not only paid homage to the anime series but also involved Yuji Itadori’s English voice actor. She utilized one of the most iconic lines in the manga and celebrated the voice actor as well.

It’s clear that the majority of the fanbase loved the involvement of Adam McArthur in Megan Thee Stallion’s latest track. Fans appreciated the artist sampling Yuji Itadori’s lines from the anime. Furthermore, the rapper also referenced the likes of Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna in this track.

"cool but it sucks", said one netizen

Netizens also noted that this particular song would be great for making Yuji Itadori edits. A few of the comments section also stated their disappointment with the latest track.
