Jujutsu Kaisen Is Now Canon in the Marvel Universe — Here’s What It Means
Jujutsu Kaisen just became Marvel canon, thanks to a sly multiverse twist in Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant #4 that stitches the hit anime into Marvel’s expanding cosmic map. An unexpected, blink-and-you-miss-it crossover now cracks the door to wild possibilities.
If you were somehow betting on which anime would officially crash through the Marvel multiverse first, I’m guessing your money wasn’t on 'Jujutsu Kaisen.' But that’s exactly what just happened—and not in some blink-and-you-miss-it Easter egg, either. This week, the juggernaut shonen series made its way into Marvel comics in a totally real, fully canonical way.
So, How Did This Happen?
The crossover goes down in 'Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant' #4, a comic that’s already deep in multiverse shenanigans. Marvel’s got Storm bouncing between universes, and in this issue, she straight-up lands in the world of 'Jujutsu Kaisen.' Because why not? She pops in on none other than Sukuna’s brawl with Jogo—that wild moment from the Shibuya Incident in Season 2.
What Does This Mean?
For the die-hard Marvel continuity obsessives keeping score, this basically means 'Jujutsu Kaisen' now exists somewhere inside the Marvel multiverse. That’s not an exaggeration, either—Marvel’s been aggressively expanding its multiverse both in comics and movies lately, so this sort of cameo isn’t just a wink anymore. It’s officially canon, at least as far as multiverse logic goes.
Should You Expect a Full-On Crossover?
Probably not. Nobody over at Marvel or Shueisha (which publishes 'Jujutsu Kaisen') has teased a bigger collaboration. At this point, it feels more like an elaborate nod or just the creative team having fun. Marvel loves their references, but they know people will notice when a series as massive as this shows up in their panels.
Not the First Time This Has Happened
Odd as it sounds, 'Jujutsu Kaisen' is joining a growing list of manga that have dipped into Western comics recently. DC’s 'Nightwing' snuck Yuji Itadori into Bludhaven a while back, and we’ve already seen Naruto team up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which is still wild to type). Sonic the Hedgehog’s gotten the crossover treatment too, and Godzilla? That giant lizard has practically made it a yearly tradition.
The Internet Lost Its Mind (Again)
This little incident didn’t just fall through the cracks—AniTV posted about it on X, shouting,
'Jujutsu Kaisen is now Officially Canon in MARVEL.
Sukuna is shown in the new Marvel Storm Comic mentioning Shibuya.'
That post racked up more than 4.2 million views just hours after it went up on May 7, 2026. Proving that if there’s one thing the anime/manga fandom loves, it’s watching realities get smashed together.
Why Does Marvel Even Do This?
- Marvel’s deep into its multiverse era, both in print and on screen.
- Crossover cameos have become a trendy way to signal cultural relevance across audiences.
- Manga and comics aren’t as siloed as people think—there’s crossover (pun intended) in readership.
- No major plans announced, but the door’s clearly open.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Still Everywhere
All this is happening as 'Jujutsu Kaisen' gets ready to wrap up its manga run and launches into the second half of the Culling Game arc in its upcoming fourth season. There’s also 'Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo,' which just got a teaser, because apparently nobody on that team ever sleeps. And now, with the Marvel Universe coming calling, the series is officially in a league of its own.
To sum it all up: It’s not every day pop culture’s biggest corporate universes officially link arms, but that’s exactly what just happened. 'Jujutsu Kaisen' is now part of Marvel canon—take a screenshot and show it to your grandkids when the next crossover inevitably happens.
