Yuji Itadori Gets a Shoutout from Megan Thee Stallion on New Album

Yuji Itadori, the high schooler from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, has garnered attention from global superstar, Megan Thee Stallion. The rapper, known for being an anime lover and the official hot girl, gives Itadori a shoutout on her latest album, MEGAN. Her track “Otaku Hot Girl” features an introduction narrated by Adam McArthur, the English voice actor for Itadori, as well as references to Jujutsu Kaisen and other anime.

Megan Thee Stallion dropped her album MEGAN on Friday, and fans quickly picked up on “Otaku Hot Girl,” which includes an introduction by Itadori’s voice actor, Adam McArthur, and even samples music from the anime. In the song, McArthur, speaking as Itadori, mentions his preference for a certain type of woman, similar to Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion, and throws in references to characters like Gojo Satoru.

The track pays homage to a viral fan moment within the Jujutsu Kaisen community, stemming from a line in the English dub where Itadori expresses his type as a tall woman with a nice big ass, humorously mentioning Jennifer Lawrence. This led to fans speculating that Itadori would crush on Megan, further fueled by a reworked audio clip by Adam McArthur replacing Jennifer Lawrence’s name with Megan Thee Stallion. The idea gained traction on platforms like TikTok, where fans shared their enthusiastic reactions.

Aside from Itadori, the song references other anime elements such as Gojo’s domain expansion powers and Sasuke from Naruto. Megan Thee Stallion faced challenges with the track, having to re-record parts due to clearance issues with using characters’ names. Despite the hurdles, the song showcases Megan’s genuine love for anime, countering criticisms from skeptics who doubt her fandom credentials.

If you’re looking to vibe with anime-inspired lyrics, “Otaku Hot Girl” is available for listeners now.
