In Nightwing #113, released on April 16, an exciting homage was paid to the immensely popular series Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK)

. This special issue celebrated Legacy 300, a significant milestone for the Nightwing comic series. While the crossover is not an official collaboration between the comics giant and the manga/anime, it cleverly incorporates a cameo resembling JJK's main protagonist, Yuji Itadori. However, this time, Yuji finds himself in the background of a panel, surrounded by a bustling crowd of food enthusiasts eagerly waiting outside the renowned 24-hour pizza joint called Marv & George's Pizza.

This cameo appearance is an imaginative rendition of Yuji, as the comic creators have adapted his likeness to suit the Nightwing universe. It's a refreshing departure from his usual role as Sukuna's Vessel, providing him with a well-deserved break. In an intriguing twist, Yuji has now crossed over to the vibrant city of Gotham, where he finds himself stealthily maneuvering through the streets, attempting to evade public attention.
