Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 18 showcased Kento Nanami's final moments as he dreamed of going to Kuantan in Malaysia. Seemingly, in their recent social media post, Malaysia Airlines knew just what opportunity they needed to pounce on as they used Kento Nanami's dream to market Kuantan.

The episode saw the end of Kento Nanami as he was gravely injured after getting attacked by Jogo. Following that, he fought countless transfigured humans, exhausting him to his core. During this, all he could think of was leaving his life as a jujutsu sorcerer and enjoying a peaceful life, possibly on the beaches of Kuantan, Malaysia.

While fans certainly would not want to fight transfigured humans, they did want to experience what Nanami dreamt of in his final moments.

With such advertisements coming forth, people can expect many fans worldwide to visit Malaysia and possibly recreate Nanami's scenes on the beaches.
