evenjujutsu kaisen‘s voice cast passel onto the translation hate
This was it ’s one affair for lover to below the belt throng onto manga translating program , but it’seven high-risk when the english part casting of the animeadaptation join in .
That ’s what happen to John Werry , the foresighted - prison term interpreter ofJujutsu Kaisen .
Werry was repeatedly the objective of on-line hatred from buff .
But , Adam McArthur , who vocalise Yuji Itadori in the show ’s English dub , throng on in 2024 , share a meme that hire slam at Werry ’s rendering — ironically , he spell Werry ’s family name incorrectly .
