The announcement comes after Nanami’s goal of retiring to a Malaysian beach was disclosed in season two. Since his sad death, followers have taken to social media, designating Kuantan Beach as a ‘Nanami Kento Memorial Shrine’ on maps.

“Fans of the [Jujutsu Kaisen] anime have marked [the beach] on Google Maps as a memorial to the character Nanami Kento. We hope the government can get an endorsement from the creator [of Jujutsu Kaisen] so that the beach becomes a new attraction for anime fans around the world,” Leong Yu Man said.
