Itadori Has Clocked Out, and Higuruma Is in the Bath
The joke powering this lineup is that Jujutsu Kaisen's sorcerers now file workplace status reports. Each of the eight acrylic stands holds a small message plate, the kind of sign you'd prop on a desk or outside a meeting room, and every message is matched to its character. Roughly translated from the Japanese: Yuji Itadori's plate announces "Clocked out for the day." Megumi Fushiguro's warns "Beware of dog." Yuta Okkotsu reports "No results." Panda is "On paid leave," Reggie Star is "Working from home," and Hiromi Higuruma, the franchise's former defense attorney, is "Taking a bath."
The last two round out the set with a family theme: a childhood version of Naoya Zenin promises "Heading straight over," while the Zenin family as a whole gets a collective "In a meeting."
One Base, Eight Swappable Messages
According to the Anime Anime report (a Japanese anime news site), the set's full name is the Jujutsu Kaisen Culling Game Acrylic Message Display collection. There is a practical hook, too: the text plates all use the same base slot size, so the message parts can be swapped between stands. If you want Panda's paid-leave notice sitting under Megumi's art, nothing is stopping you.
Each display is priced at 1,760 yen (tax included, about $12). Preorders opened at noon JST on August 17, 2026 and close at 11:00 p.m. JST on September 13, 2026, with shipping planned for October 2026.
Where Jujutsu Kaisen Stands in 2026
Gege Akutami's dark-fantasy manga, the story of Yuji Itadori taking a curse into his own soul to save a classmate, finished its Weekly Shonen Jump run in the issue released September 30, 2024, and has passed 100 million copies in circulation. The MAPPA-produced TV anime is still mid-story. The first season launched in October 2020, and Season 2 covered Hidden Inventory / Premature Death and the Shibuya Incident in 2023. Season 3 began adapting the Culling Game arc on January 8, 2026. This merch set carries the Culling Game branding, which explains the heavy Season 3 flavor of the lineup, with players like Reggie Star and Higuruma standing alongside the Tokyo Jujutsu High regulars.
The franchise is also in the middle of a touring exhibition. Per Anime Anime, the Gege Akutami Jujutsu Kaisen Exhibition runs at its Nagoya venue through August 30, 2026, then moves to Iwate from September 12 to November 8, 2026.
Looking Ahead
The preorder window closes September 13, 2026 at 11:00 p.m. JST, and the displays ship in October 2026. The listing is a Japanese preorder, and the source doesn't mention international availability, so overseas fans should check whether their usual import shops or proxy services carry it.
The anime itself is easy to reach: Jujutsu Kaisen streams on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu, and Season 3, Culling Game Part 1, is currently airing. A teaser for Season 4, Culling Game Part 2, is already up on the official TOHO animation YouTube channel, with the season listed as in production. On the manga side, Viz Media publishes the completed series in English, and chapters are available on Shueisha's Manga Plus service.
