Yuji’s voice actor in Jujutsu Kaisen joins the Black Butler cast
Yuji’s voice actor in Jujutsu Kaisen, Junya Enoki, will provide the voice for Lawrence Bluewer in Black Butler.
Beloved for voicing the JJK protagonist, Junya Enoki’s popularity skyrocketed in 2023 after his video of shooting Yuji’s breakdown scene went viral. The series aired its second season in 2023, featuring one of the most brutal arcs in the manga. The video featured the JJK star on his knees and crying uncontrollably as his character did in that scene of the Shibuya Incident arc.
Junya has also appeared in various other series, with one being the popular Demon Slayer: Infinity Train movie. He was the voice behind Senjuro Rengoku, the younger brother of Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku. In Black Butler, he will play the role of one of the college prefects, Lawrence Bluewer from Blue House.
Unlike Jujutsu Kaisen’s Yuji, Black Butler’s Lawrence is a serious and dedicated individual who excels academically. His expertise lies in doing minute computations and developing elaborate systems. He frequently enforces norms and propriety, reprimanding students who do not meet his standards.
Black Butler: Public School Arc will start airing on April 13, 2024. According to the official website of Black Butler anime, the synopsis reads: “19th-century Britain – Sebastian Michaelis, a butler of the prestigious aristocratic Phantomhive family, was assigned to do dirty work in the underworld as the “Queen’s watchdog” along with his 13-year-old master, Ciel Phantomhive.
“One day, Ciel receives a letter from the Queen saying that Derrick, a relative of his who attends Weston School, one of the most prestigious boarding schools in England, and several other students have not heard from him. Sebastian and Ciel infiltrate Weston School to investigate the incident. What is the truth behind the incident…?”
