Devoted Jujutsu Kaizen Fan from Indonesia Displeased with Kuantan Mention, Insists Bali Should Take its Place

Kuantan, you've certainly grabbed attention following the viral episode of Jujutsu Kaisen featuring Kuantan on Nanami's bucket list.

However, not everyone is thrilled with the newfound attention on Kuantan. In the Jujutsu Kaisen Indonesia – JKKI Facebook group, an Indonesian fan expressed dissatisfaction with the anime's choice to spotlight Kuantan, Pahang, in that particular episode.

The fan argued that it seemed like mere "fan service" and suggested that Bali would have been a more fitting choice for mention in the episode. The post that gained viral attention has since been taken down.

Support for the fan's frustration came from Indonesian fans who pointed out that Malaysia had already been referenced in the comic book version of the anime.

Contrastingly, Malaysian fans on the Facebook page welcomed the idea of Kuantan being featured as Nanami's destination before his demise. They reasoned that Kuala Lumpur has consistently taken the spotlight, and it was high time for Kuantan, or a location outside Kuala Lumpur, to receive recognition.

Notably, recent reports mentioned that the Pahang state government is engaged in discussions with the creators of Jujutsu Kaizen to secure endorsement for the construction of a memorial in Kuantan. This initiative aims to boost tourism in the Kuantan region.
