Jujutsu Kaisen's Nanami Looks Cooler Than Ever In Epic New Cosplay That Really Sells What Makes The Character So Iconic

There are few characters in any form of media who have stolen fans' hearts in quite the way that Jujutsu Kaisen's Nanami Kento has. From his very first appearance in the series, he became so beloved he almost rivals Gojo Satoru in terms of fan appreciation. Nanami's mindset and personality are more relatable than any other character's, but despite how down to earth he is, he's still effortlessly cool and heroic.

@ganchancos has turned themselves into the hardworking, but often exasperated, jujutsu sorcerer. They have short, blond, and flawlessly styled hair, just like the character. They are wearing a light brown suit with a long sleeved blue dress shirt underneath, a brown leather belt, and a yellow and black polka-dotted tie. Their Nanami outfit is tied together with a green pair of goggle glasses, completing the professional but functional sorcerer look. In one of the images, they are holding a large, rectangular sword wrapped in white and black polka-dotted fabric, with a pattern that beautifully compliments their tie's polka dots.

The Blade Allows the Jujutsu Sorcerer to Harness His Power and Defeat Curses

This sword is not just a sharp blade, it is also a way for Nanami to channel his Cursed Energy. The device is known as a Cursed Tool, an item which allows its wielder to harness their power through a physical object. Nanami has pulled off his best attacks in the series with the weapon, going up against characters like Dagon, Mahito, and Haruta Shigemo. Nanami is one of the best jujutsu sorcerers, but ironically, he hates the jujutsu sorcerer world and the higher-ups. He even left for a while to work a corporate job, but he found that work purposeless and dull.

Although Nanami hates working overtime, he is not lazy. He is incredibly motivated by his goal of protecting the younger generation from harm, even giving up his own life to save Yuji Itadori and his classmates at Jujutsu High from the Cursed Spirit, Mahito. Nanami's heroic sacrifice allowed him to finally achieve peace and rest, but fans' hearts were shattered as they realized their favorite sorcerer was gone, and he never achieved his dream of living at the beach. Nanami's story ended tragically, but he went to such great lengths and suffered such pain to save others from similar fates.

@ganchancos's cosplay captures not just how Nanami looks on the outside, but the elements of his personality that make him such a treasured character. In one image, the cosplayer wears a serious expression, with one hand covering their face. In the other photo, they have the same confident, solemn expression while holding their sword out. Nanami is definitely an earnest and, at times, somber person, but he is also selfless, devoting his entire life to shielding those at risk from danger. This Jujutsu Kaisen cosplay shows Nanami at his most heroic and battle ready, making it clear why he is so loved.
