Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts can't get over Gojo's pricey 250,000 yen shirt in episode 44

In episode 44 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the highlight was the intense battle between Jujutsu Sorcerers Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo against Cursed Spirit Mahito. The episode kicked off with a compelling flashback showing Nobara accidentally spilling coffee on Gojo's expensive shirt, a moment that captivated fans. In the previous episode, Mahito's clone led Nobara to the original Mahito, who then used his Cursed Technique Idle Transformation to harm Nobara, leaving her with a horrifying injury.

In episode 44 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Nobara, Megumi, and Yuji were enjoying some snacks and coffee when Nobara accidentally spilled her drink on Gojo's shirt. Despite their efforts to clean it, Nobara tried to play it off by suggesting the shirt might be cheap, leading them to look up the price. To their surprise, they discovered it was worth 250,000 yen. As Gojo came to collect the shirt, Nobara and Yuji hilariously stuffed it inside Megumi's uniform, much to Gojo's confusion. Then, they couldn't resist laughing as they pulled the shirt out in front of him.

The scene undeniably showcased to Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts that Satoru Gojo was wealthy. His willingness to purchase a simple white shirt worth 250,000 yen only further emphasized his financial ease.

This is why, when Yuji Itadori pulled the stained shirt from Megumi's uniform, he didn't react as shocked as fans might have expected. Instead, he appeared only surprised to discover that his shirt had been ruined. From this scene, Jujutsu Kaisen fans inferred that Megumi was aware of how wealthy Gojo was, as he had been under Gojo's care from a young age. As a result, fans believe that Gojo must have spoiled Megumi in the past, explaining his lack of concern over the shirt's value.

Megumi Fushiguro might have been aware of Gojo's wealth, which could explain why he was unconcerned about the shirt getting stained. When the shirt did get stained, Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi attempted to clean it by dabbing at the stain. While Yuji and Nobara were careful in their efforts, Megumi focused on dabbing at an area of the shirt that was still clean.

Megumi's confidence in knowing that Gojo would not be upset about his shirt being ruined was clearly apparent.

Some Jujutsu Kaisen fans found the scene slightly disappointing. In the manga, Yuji tried to dab the stain clean and then held up the shirt for Nobara to inspect. However, in the anime, the shirt remained on the table.

Fans felt that MAPPA missed an opportunity to allow them to compare Gojo's torso size with Yuji's by not having Yuji hold the shirt in the anime. They believed that seeing the difference in size between the teacher and the student would have been interesting. As a result, Jujutsu Kaisen fans chose to treasure the manga panel instead.

Editor's P/S

As a dedicated Jujutsu Kaisen fan, I was thrilled to witness the intense battle between Yuji Itadori, Aoi Todo, and the formidable Cursed Spirit Mahito in episode 44. However, what truly captured my attention was the revelation of Gojo's extravagant 250,000 yen shirt. This scene not only highlighted Gojo's financial affluence but also provided insight into the dynamics between the characters.

The scene where Nobara accidentally spills coffee on Gojo's shirt and the subsequent reactions of the characters were particularly amusing. Nobara's attempt to downplay the incident by suggesting the shirt might be cheap, only to discover its exorbitant price, was a moment of pure comedy. It was also interesting to observe Megumi's nonchalant attitude towards the situation, hinting at his awareness of Gojo's wealth and the possibility of past spoiling.
