The last few years have been packed with new releases from fan-favorite anime series. With the dark fantasy anime Jujutsu Kaisen lacking an animated release since 2018, the franchise has been releasing some interesting new products to keep their fans satisfied until the release of the upcoming film Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Among the latest of these products is a collaboration with Japanese drink company Dydo DrinCo.
The collaboration will feature twenty-eight different cans of coffee with twenty-two different characters from Jujutsu Kaisen on them. The new coffee cans are expected to be released into Japanese stores and vending machines on October 4. While there is no hint as to whether this product will be sold internationally, it will be available for purchase online. Each can will cost 115 yen or $1.05 in USD.
Among the Jujutsu Kaisen characters who will be featured on the cans are faculty members Masamichi Yaga and Satoru Gojo, 1st-year students Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro, and Yuji Itadori, 2nd-year students Panda and Maki Zenin, Sorcerers Mei Mei and Kento Nanami, and many others. There is even a mystery can design that will not be revealed until the initial release on October 4th. The cans will also come in three of Dydo's flavors including Original, their signature Zeppin Bitou (low sugar), and Zeppin Cafe au Lait (with milk) blends.
Jujutsu Kaisen is an action-packed anime surrounding main character and high school student Yuji Itadori. In an attempt to find an interesting after-school activity, Yuji joins an Occult Research Club where he accidentally releases a series of Curses, including one upon himself called Sukuna. Normally, Yuji would need to be exorcised (and subsequently killed) immediately, but Yuji has a unique strength and control over himself while under possession. Given this, Yuji is given an opportunity to kill the Curse himself so that he may live.
The news follows the recent collaboration between the Demon Slayer franchise and the same company last March. Dydo started the series of anime collaborations after the company was nearly forced to close its doors due to the strain from the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of DyDo's sales come from in-store or vending machine purchases and the hard restrictions of the pandemic over the last two years led to an incredible fall in sales. The collaborations between Dydo, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen have allowed the company to stay afloat.
Jujutsu Kaisen is now available to stream on Crunchyroll.
