Jujutsu Kaisenis immensely action-heavy with swift kicks and weapon mastery that makes the anime so enticing. From Nanami’s Black Flash to Gojo’s quick punches, MAPPA and Gege Akutami really know how to showcase action sequences smoothly. What makes the anime even more convincing is how even their voice actors love martial arts just like their characters, particularly Adam McArthur, the English voice actor for the main protagonist ofJujutsu Kaisen,Yuji Itadori.
The simple but freakishly strong main protagonist has some of the best action sequences in the anime and there’s only more to come once the Culling Game Arc commences. Many people try to imitate the moves he does, especially his iconic triple kick. Yuji Itadori is undeniably a force of nature inJujutsu Kaiseneven before the revelation of his heritage. Adam McArthur must have had a lot of fun voicing such a character so similar to his own interests.
Jujutsu Kaisenand Martial Arts Are Close-Knit
The combat inJujutsu Kaisenis a mix of many types of martial art forms. You can see mostly influences of karate, kung fu, kickboxing and even Taido, an Okinawan karate-rooted martial arts form. The creativity and unique abilities of each character make every fight thrilling. Whether it’s pure combat or mixed in with jujutsu sorcery, there isn’t a dull moment inJujutsu Kaisen’sfighting scenes. Many fans often discuss what types of martial arts styles they incorporate and even imitate them.

Perhaps thenGege Akutami, who clearly did his research for these martial arts forms, will appreciate how experienced Yuji Itadori’s English voice actor is in different types of martial arts.In an interview with GameRant, Adam McArthur reveals his deep appreciation of martial arts:
I’ve done traditional northern and Southern Shaolin Kung Fu and Judo since I was 11. I was ranked in the top ten in the U.S. for Wushu. Kickboxing, boxing. I love it all. Martial arts is like my happy place. It’s truly when I feel like myself the most.
McArthur might actually be one of the people who could expertly emulate the combat scenes of Yuji Itadori, much like but better than the fans ofJujutsu Kaisen.Many fans imitate either Maki Zenin’s incredible flexibility and weapon mastery or Yuji’s triple kicks. This only goes to show how engaging the action is inJujutsu Kaisen.
Adam McArthur Is A Perfect Match for Yuji Itadori
With how experienced McArthur is in different styles of martial arts, he might be the only voice actor perfect for Yuji Itadori. He knows how much strength goes into the combat and can provide better voice direction during action scenes instead of senselessly making noises like some voice actors might do.

Jujutsu Kaisenseems to have nailed their castings so far that even the English dub version doesn’t seem so bad. McArthur’s version of Yuji matches his vibe exactly, voicing him with the innocence and simplicity of his character. The martial arts experience is just an added bonus to his talents.
