Bleacher Report’s recent Jujutsu Kaisen Super Bowl animation introduced Patrick Mahomes as Sukuna in a new animated video clip.

The stunning clip has gone viral with over 6.6 million impressions and over 39 thousand likes. Readers can watch the video and popular reactions below.

Jujutsu Kaisen was officially voted as the most in-demand TV show in the world
The anime series Jujutsu Kaisen is the most in-demand TV show in the world, beating out shows like The Last of Us, The Witcher and Ted Lasso.
Based on what Jujutsu Kaisen fans know about how the match between Sukuna and Jogo ended, the clip correctly suggested that Purdy was the underdog going into the Super Bowl. Both teams had similar records, with Purdy’s San Francisco 49ers winning 14 games and losing six, while Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs had a slightly better record at 14–5. After Mahomes’ clutch pass to Hardman in overtime, he led his team to its second consecutive Super Bowl title and third overall, with a final score of 25-22 for the Chiefs.
Bleacher Report has previously celebrated anime such as Naruto and Attack on Titan
Bleacher Report’s homage to anime stretches back many years, with NBA having passed over the anime series Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, and Fist of the North Star in the past. It also showcased the NFL similarly when it came to Attack on Titan, again with Mahomes and the Chiefs receiving praise. Fans can check out all four clips below.
