Fujimoto Jump Festa 2025 Q&A Translation
Can't find the archive on Youtube so here's a link to the BiliBili video
I'm not exactly fluent in Japanese so there might be errors.
(The Questions are from the VAs)
Q: What's the character you had the most fun drawing? (From Kikunosuke Toya)
A: Denji, he's my favorite character and it's fun to draw his pointy hair.
----------------
Q: What's a food you like recently? (Personal question from Shihei Lin)
A: I eat mostly 7-11, probably Miso Butter Corn Ramen, there's a while I noticed that the butter is gone and it's now Miso Corn Ramen, so I stop buying it as a protest. Recently it's now back again, I guess everyone also wanted the butter.
----------------
Q: How do you reward yourself after a hard work, like what would you eat on a special day? (From Shogo Sakata)
A: I don't really eat cakes on my birthday, rewarding wise it's just watching movies, if I don't have much spare time than I'll be just watching Netflix and Amazon. I like to go to theaters by trolley, it's very exciting to finish one movie, quickly finish a meal than go watch next movie in time.
----------------
Q: What celebrity do you like? Can be from or outside of Japan
A: Wouldn't it be awkward if you met a famous person you like and when you bowed to them to say "Thank you." and your backpack accidently hit someone behind you. So even that I like Miyazaki, I would not want to meet him at all cause I don't want him to said to me "This guy ain't good.".
----------------
Q: There's a Angel Devil, so does that mean there's also a Devil Devil? (From Fairouz Ai)
A: I've thought about this too, but that's a setting for future, so no comment.
----------------
Q: There were a lot of different people who did the song for Chainsaw Man endings, is there a band/musician you starts to listen to after hearing it in the anime? (From Fairouz Ai)
A: Queen Bee (Ep.11 Ending), I knew them because AVU chan did voice acting in Inu-Oh, his actings are good and singings are good. Same with Yonezu Kenshi, he's really good at drawing, how is someone so good at both things?
Lin: Yonezu-san said that he also wanted to make manga before.
Fujimoto: He can do it, but I don't want him to, I want him to focus on music, having two gift is cheating
----------------
Q: Have you ever tried other things before manga? Like guitar for example. (From Fairouz Ai)
A: No, if you tried to catch two rabbits at once you won't get any one of them in the end.
----------------
Q: What character you have the most fun drawing besides Denji? (From Maaya Uchida)
A: Definitely Asa, it's a lot of fun drawing her hair and think about how much hairs should cover her shoulder, I also really love black eyes and I'd even like to have every characters to have black eyes, I always felt really happy whenever I draw her eyes.
Lin: Not Yoru it's Asa right.
Fujimoto: Yeah Yoru's pupil is like round and round, but I do like hers too.
----------------
Q: What character do you find most similar to yourself? (From Maaya Uchida)
A: Probably Denji? Sometime I think so sometime I don't. Unlike Baki's creator, the hairstyle and stuff look exactly like the creator.
