Unprecedented Crossover Sparks Excitement Among Both SPY X FAMILY and Jujutsu Kaisen Fans!

Two of the most popular anime series of the new generation undoubtedly include the adaptations of the Jujutsu Kaisen and Spy x Family manga series from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. Gege Akutami and Tatsuya Endo have written and illustrated these series, respectively, and they have gained immense popularity in both the anime and original manga formats.

A significant part of their popularity can be attributed to their impact on anime meme culture in recent years. For instance, there was a period when Anya Forger from Spy x Family was frequently incorporated into various manga panels and anime scenes of other series. Similarly, the infamous "Domain Expansion" phrase from Jujutsu Kaisen has been recently edited into several well-known anime and manga scenes to replace certain lines and create comedic effect.

Considering the immense popularity of both Spy x Family and Jujutsu Kaisen even before the emergence of these viral meme trends, it comes as no shock that their fame has only escalated since. As a result, it is not surprising that a recent fan-made crossover between these two series has captured the attention of X (formerly Twitter), leaving both fandoms in fits of laughter due to the hilarious outcome.

Spy x Family, Jujutsu Kaisen fandoms come together in the funniest way possible

As visible in the aforementioned tweet, the most recent fan-created crossover between Jujutsu Kaisen and Spy x Family cleverly incorporates the recent incident of Satoru Gojo getting sealed in the television anime adaptation of the former series. While the original depiction portrays Gojo turning around and discovering his deceased comrade Suguru Geto standing in front of him, the revised version substitutes this encounter with Anya Forger from the latter series.

The mentioned trend of editing Anya into manga panels and anime scenes from other popular series has already paved the way for this crossover. Notable examples of this phenomenon include Anya seamlessly blending into One Piece, My Hero Academia, Vagabond, Berserk, Attack on Titan, and, most recently, Gege Akutami's remarkable story.

Both Spy x Family and Jujutsu Kaisen fans are enthusiastically responding to the initial tweet. They are sharing their own edits, along with popular examples from past trends. Some are even going as far as comparing the young psychic Anya to the legendary jujutsu sorcerer, Gojo.

While this powerscaling may seem utterly serious to a few, it's most likely a jest, given the immense disparity in circumstances and genres between the two series. While Akutami's work falls under the category of a battle shonen, Endo's leans more towards a slice-of-life shonen, occasionally featuring elements of battle and action-adventure.

Both the Spy x Family and Jujutsu Kaisen fandoms have witnessed similar reactions during these trends, inspired by their respective series. Fans would often speculate on the Domain Expansion of characters from other series or imagine funny scenarios where Anya defeats the notorious antagonists.

It is evident that both fandoms appreciate this meme-inspiring aspect of their beloved series. It is a rare occurrence to witness anime fandoms interact in a wholesome and non-toxic manner, making these moments all the more special. Hopefully, in the future, we can expect to see more crossover meme trends emerge from other new-gen and upcoming series for fans to enjoy.
