Also known as: Skyfall "Where You Go I Go" Fortnite Trend · Itadori Walking Meme

Yuji Itadori Chasing Mahito AMVs are 2023 anime music videos set to Adele's "Skyfall," showing slow walks toward the defeated Mahito, and spawning a Fortnite trend with walking emotes.

Yuji Itadori Chasing Mahito AMVs are a series of anime music videos set to Adele's "Skyfall," featuring the scene from *Jujutsu Kaisen* where Itadori slowly walks after a defeated Mahito. The trend started with manga-based edits on TikTok in September 2023 and exploded after the anime adaptation aired in December 2023, spawning a parallel Fortnite trend where players used walking emotes to chase downed opponents in the same style2.

Overview

The meme draws from chapters 129–132 and episode 45 of *Jujutsu Kaisen*, where Yuji Itadori defeats the cursed spirit Mahito in a brutal fight. After the battle, Mahito is left weakened and crawling through the dirt while Itadori follows at a calm, deliberate walking pace. The contrast between the frantic escape and the slow, inevitable pursuit struck a nerve with fans, who paired the scene with Adele's "Skyfall" (specifically the lyric "where you go I go") to create dramatic AMV edits2.

The Fortnite branch of the trend recreates this dynamic in-game. Players equip the Yuji Itadori skin and use a slow walking emote, most commonly the Darth Vader walk, to pursue a downed opponent across the map while "Skyfall" plays1. The result looks like a stylized, low-stakes version of the anime scene, and the absurdity of recreating an intense anime moment inside a battle royale game is a big part of the appeal.

On September 23, 2023, TikToker @kozz.off posted an AMV using manga panels from the Itadori vs. Mahito fight, set to Adele's "Skyfall." The edit pulled over 3.2 million views in roughly three months2. This kicked off a wave of similar AMVs and edits on TikTok using the same song and source material.

By November 21, 2023, TikToker @rodney_edits809 posted a video that opened with Fortnite gameplay: a player using the Darth Vader walk emote with the Itadori skin to chase a downed opponent, spliced with the anime panels and "Skyfall" audio. That clip picked up over 500,000 views in a month2. Whether this was the very first Fortnite recreation is unconfirmed, but it's one of the earliest documented examples.

The trend's second phase came on December 14, 2023, when episode 45 of the *Jujutsu Kaisen* anime aired in Japan, finally adapting the manga fight into animated form2. Within hours, creators were cutting new AMVs using the anime footage instead of static manga panels. YouTuber A-V-3000 posted one on the same day that hit 100,000 views in six days2. TikTokers @kaguravf and @maderezs also uploaded anime-based versions on December 14, pulling 1.3 million and 4.3 million views respectively in the same timeframe2.

How It Spread

After the anime episode dropped, the trend grew fast on TikTok. New AMVs, remixes, and Fortnite recreations posted daily through mid-to-late December 2023.

On December 16, TikToker @duderecroom posted a Fortnite version where the player used a different walking emote because they didn't own the Darth Vader walk, captioned "I don't have the emote." The improvised substitute hit a comedic note and the video blew up to over 6 million views in four days. The next day, TikToker @meepeditz brought the concept into *Minecraft*, recreating the chase scene in-game and earning 4.4 million views in three days.

The trend also crossed into live-action. On December 19, TikToker @theanimemen posted a comedy skit where they acted out the AMV trend in real life, pulling 1.7 million views in a single day.

The Fortnite angle gave the meme particular staying power in gaming communities. The combination of a licensed anime character skin, a recognizable walking emote, and the dramatic "Skyfall" backing track made it easy to replicate, and the format spread to other games beyond Fortnite as players looked for their own ways to recreate the slow pursuit.

How to Use This Meme

The AMV version typically involves editing together clips (manga panels or anime footage) from the Itadori vs. Mahito fight in *Jujutsu Kaisen*, synced to Adele's "Skyfall," focusing on the moment where Itadori walks calmly after the fleeing Mahito.

For the Fortnite version:

1

Equip the Yuji Itadori skin in Fortnite

2

Down an opponent in a match

3

Use a slow walking emote (the Darth Vader walk is the most common choice, though any deliberate walking emote works)

4

Walk toward the downed player at a menacing pace

5

Record the clip and add "Skyfall" by Adele as the audio

Fun Facts

The original manga panels used in @kozz.off's September 2023 AMV come from chapters 129–132, which were published in 2021, meaning the source material sat dormant for about two years before the AMV trend ignited.

The Darth Vader walk emote became so associated with this trend that some Fortnite players purchased it specifically to participate.

@duderecroom's "I don't have the emote" video, which used a substitute walking animation, outperformed many versions that used the "correct" emote, topping 6 million views.

The anime episode that supercharged the trend (episode 45) aired on December 14, 2023, and multiple creators independently posted AMVs using the new footage within hours of each other.

Derivatives & Variations

Minecraft recreation

— TikToker @meepeditz rebuilt the chase scene in Minecraft, showing a blocky version of the slow pursuit that hit 4.4 million views[2].

Alternative emote versions

— Players without the Darth Vader walk emote substituted other walking animations, creating a comedic sub-genre of "budget" recreations[2].

Live-action skits

— Creators like @theanimemen performed the scene in real life, acting out the slow chase with friends[2].

Cross-game adaptations

— The walking-chase format spread beyond Fortnite into other multiplayer games where players could down opponents and emote over them[1].
