In a curious and surprising twist, a young woman from Bangladesh revealed on your personal blog that one of the most incomprehensible demonstrations in the country's recent history occurred due to the death of Satoru Gojoa key character in the popular anime and manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen“According to his story, when asked about the most difficult protest to understand in Bangladesh, he replied: “The protest that occurred when Satoru Gojo died in Jujutsu Kaisen. I wondered: what was the point of protesting in Bangladesh for this?”.

The young woman added that Jujutsu Kaisen has incredible popularity in Bangladesh, to the point that not only were demonstrations held after Gojo's death, but also commemorative events and there were people crying inconsolably. In his blog, he wryly commented that the Bangladesh government even asked, “First of all, what is Jujutsu Kaisen?”

This unusual event attracted attention both inside and outside Japan and generated a range of comments among Japanese fans. Some expressed surprise and bewilderment at the situation, while others took it humorously:

• «In Japan, it’s common to hear about fans holding funerals when a character dies, but holding a protest? Maybe it’s a cultural thing.».
• «More than a demonstration of love, this is pure entertainment».
• «It's because of things like this that I can't stop using Twitter (even though it's now called X)».
• «This is amazing Jujutsu Kaisen being so popular in Bangladesh that a death in the series sparks a protest! 😳 Now that the country is going through difficult times, I hope the situation calms down soon».
• «Will there be any protests when the series ends?».
• «Really, what does it all mean?».
• «Who should they protest against this?».
• «Don't spoil the surprise with a protest, please.».

The popularity of Jujutsu Kaisen around the world continues to amaze, and this case from Bangladesh is just another example of the profound cultural impact a work of fiction can have on different societies. However, the question remains: how strong is the power of a fictional character to trigger a protest across an entire country?
