Jujutsu Kaisen is known for having a very strong and dedicated community, which was recently evidenced by a fan animation made by an X user known as @endeejayy. This animation adapts the manga's Shinjuku Showdown arc, featuring Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo's fight against Ryomen Sukuna, highlighting impressive choreography and movement.

There have been a lot of fan animations regarding Jujutsu Kaisen and its community, but this one stands out by the way it executes some key moments and the way Todo's Boogie Woogie has been displayed in this project. While is far from being studio-quality animation, such as what MAPPA would come up with, there is no denying that this is quite impressive when considering that it was done by a single person.

An X user @endeejayy came up with a fan animation of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, mainly focusing on the moment Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo fought Ryomen Sukuna together. This was one of the fandom's favorite moments of the final arc and this user really brought this portion of the battle to life with fluid movement.

There was a strong combination of the panels from author Gege Akutami's manga and inclusions made by the animation, helping the battle flow extremely well. A lot of people praised the execution of Todo's Boogie Woogie Cursed Technique, showing him and Yuji switch places with a lot of ease, which is something that has become a bit of a classic in the series.

This fan animation also featured the arrival of Yuta Okkotsu after he took over Satoru Gojo's body and the clash of his Domain Expansion with Sukuna. There was even a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, with Sukuna and Gojo mirroring the iconic poses of Dio and Jotaro Kujo when they faced each other at the tail end of the third part, Stardust Crusaders.

The Shinjuku Showdown arc was the final portion of the story and featured a lot of decisions that were controversial to a lot of people. While the beginning of the series was very well-received, with Satoru Gojo battling Ryomen Sukuna, the conclusion of this fight was very divisive, to the point that there are fans who claim that this result "ruined" the manga.

However, it is also worth pointing out that there were some considerable highlights, such as the way Yuji and Yuta worked together to attack Sukuna. Aoi Todo's return was dubious but a lot of people enjoyed seeing him team up with the protagonist once again to face the King of Curses, and there was also the final conversation between Sukuna and Yuji, which was a nice conclusion for them.

"Another day another insanely talented twitter animator," someone said.

"OK COOL DOWN THE OTHER CHEFS DONT HAVE THE SKILL TO HANDLE THAT KIND OF HEAT!" another person said.

"DUDE the portrayal of the vibraslap was GODLY," someone else said.

Overall, this fan animation was very well-received by the fandom and shows the degree of passion and commitment that Jujutsu Kaisen fans have for this series.
