BoxLunch locations across the country will host an immersive photo opportunity set in a U.A. High classroom. There, fans can take pictures with Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Ochaco Uraraka. Select locations will allow guests to channel their inner-Jujutsu Sorcerer with an additional character collage photo opportunity featuring students from both the Tokyo and Kyoto branches of Japan’s Jujutsu schools, such as Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro, and more.
