Who is Nanami Kento?
Nanami Kento (27 years old) is an iconic anime character from Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a sorcerer. However, currently, he works as a corporate employee. Nanami is reluctant to respect people in the jujutsu sorcery profession. That is because he realizes it is a dangerous and demanding job for lunatics. Nanami Kento disdains Satoru despite their longtime friendship. Even though they both rely on each other’s trust. He quit being a salaryman to become a sorcerer once again. And, that is because he did not feel sufficiently appreciated and believed his occupation had any important consequences for anyone.
In contrast, working as a sorcerer allowed him to accumulate little acknowledgments from innocent individuals. His fighting style is very different from the other members of the cast. He uses his knowledge and training in this anime to take on his opponents. Although he studies sorcery, he’s very good at other abilities as well.
Nanami’s original fighting style:
- Hand to hand combat
One of the things that make Nanami stand out is that he has an original fighting style. Most of the fighters in this show have fighting styles that have been around for many years. Nanami’s fighting style, on the other hand, was created by him in a few years. It’s a very interesting fighting style, and he uses it to take on his opponents in this competition. Jujutsu is Nanami’s original fighting style. It’s a martial arts technique used to defeat an opponent by throwing them to the ground and holding them there until the competition referee blows the whistle to end the fight. Nanami is the only one with an original fighting style out of all the contestants. He’s the only person who came up with it himself, and he’s the only one who has the right skills to make it happen.
- Tactical ability
Nanami Kento is a tactical intellect from Jujutsu Kaisen. When he sees something, it usually happens. With this special ability, Nanami can predict where danger will come from. He uses his gift to save people as well as guide his friends on what to do next in battle. Nanami’s goal is to protect those he cares about and defend against those who would cause harm. In combat, Nanami uses his keen mind to plan out a strategy that will best suit his team’s needs. He always looks for an opportunity to surprise his enemies with a clever maneuver or attack that they didn’t expect.
- Master Swordsman
One of the main qualities is his ability to wield a sword in a fight. Nanami uses a blunted sword in combat with outstanding mastery. Using his cursed technique, Nanami can slice through anything, including a defending opponent who is defending themselves with cursed energy. In addition, Nanami uses his sword to cut through a person’s soul, killing them. Nanami’s sword has an unknown power that allows it to cut through any matter, even something as hard as a diamond. In the battle against Nanami, Shigemo tried to cut and kick immediately. However, Nanami was unaffected by the slash and was not swayed by the curse user’s kick.
- Endurance
Nanami’s endurance is exceptional, as previously mentioned. Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration nearly killed him, but he survived and eventually escaped with his life and body intact. Nanami was unaffected by the slash or the curse user’s kick during the battle. Shigemo, on the other hand, was unable to land a kick, which was unfortunate for him. Therefore, when Nanami battled Shigemo, the curse user didn’t budge an inch from Nanami’s slash, nor did he budge an inch from Nanami’s curse user’s kick.
- Precision & Technique
Nanami is a very technical fighter who aims to take advantage of any openings in his opponent’s defense. He never misses his target’s vulnerable spot when he exposes it with his cursed technique. Nanami aims to exploit a weakness in his opponent, and he fights extremely technically. He never misses his target’s weak point when his cursed technique reveals it.
The most interesting thing about Nanami’s judo
One of the things that make Nanami so interesting is that he’s the only judoka in the show. All the other competitors use different fighting styles like Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Kung Fu. The thing that makes Nanami stand out is his use of the gi. You get to see him wear it during the competition, and he has it with him whenever he’s in the house. The judoka wears the gi because this type of uniform is used in most judo competitions. Nanami’s gi has a special meaning to him. The gi was given to him when he was still a child. Nanami lost and forgot about it, but years later, he found it again and decided to wear it in this competition.
Final words
One of the things we love about this show is that it shows us that anyone can be a fighter. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional athlete or if you’ve never been near a ring before. Anyone can be a fighter in this show. Nanami Kento is the perfect example of this. He’s a judoka, and he’s a very good one too. But he’s also a swimmer, and he’s an expert in Pokémon Go. He’s a man with many passions, and he’s a great friend too. Nanami is a wonderful person, and we’re rooting for him always.
