About this sound

Toge Inumaki saying salmon in Jujutsu Kaisen, his cursed speech word for yes. Fans use this short anime voice clip for agreements and meme edits.

This is Toge Inumaki's single word line, salmon, delivered in a flat, deadpan tone for just over a second. In Jujutsu Kaisen his cursed speech forces him to speak only in onigiri ingredients, so salmon works as his casual yes. The delivery is so plain and abrupt that it feels funnier out of context, cutting through a scene like a dry confirmation. Fans recognize the voice instantly, and the short clip lands as both an in-joke for anime viewers and a strangely perfect reaction sound for anyone else.

Toge Inumaki is a second year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High in Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen, which began as a manga in 2018 and premiered as an anime in 2020. Because his cursed speech can compel anyone who hears it, he limits himself to onigiri filling words, with salmon used for affirmation and agreement. Short clips of his lines spread widely among anime fans on social media and soundboards, where salmon became his most recognizable catchphrase outside the series itself.

Pro Tip for Usage

Place the salmon line right after a yes or no question or a terrible plan, then hard cut to silence for the deadpan payoff. Keep the original audio clean and do not add music underneath, Inumaki's flat delivery is the joke.

Use Cases

  • Drop it when a friend agrees to a plan
  • Use it as a deadpan yes in anime edits
  • Play it after someone asks an obvious question
  • Add it to Jujutsu Kaisen fan compilations and reactions
