It turns out that the Santiago de Chile Metro became the scene of a peculiar event on September 21. At the “Manuel Montt” and “Universidad de Chile” stations, where there are huge advertising posters for the second season of “Jujutsu Kaisen”, placed by the Crunchyroll advertising team, The fans were present and placed flowers and messages in a gesture to remember the recently deceased character.

The photographs and recordings of the place quickly became viral on social networks, especially because that same day the most recent episode of the anime had been broadcast. Crunchyroll’s advertising in the Santiago de Chile Metro then demonstrated that Satoru Gojo has become a symbol after the leaked events of the mangaand although the altar is not as spectacular as those we have shown in other places such as China and Japan, it is still a quite particular event for these parts.
If you review the photographs and videos, you will notice that all the flowers left for the Strongest Sorcerer were yellow. This was because the date coincided with September 21, the day on which many women turn to social networks to ask their friends or partners to give them flowers of this color.
This trend comes from the novel “Floricienta,” which is about a young woman who works as a nanny in Florence. The story of the novel shows the eldest son of the Fritzenwalde family, who has been left in charge of his siblings after the death of his parents. As time goes by, he and Floricienta enter into a romantic relationship.
