Momo Nishimiya Brings Her Flying Broom to a Metallic JJK Card

Momo Nishimiya — Jujutsu Kaisen Wafer 2 Metallic Card, No. 2-12, R Rare

The Wafer Card Format and What Makes This One Distinct

This is a trading card from the Jujutsu Kaisen Wafer 2 series — the second wave of wafer cards released for the franchise. In Japan, this type of product belongs to the shokugan category: a combination of a snack (here, a thin wafer biscuit) and a collectible, sold in blind-pack format so you won’t know which card is inside until you open it. They’re a fixture in convenience stores, drugstores, and toy shops across Japan.

Card number 2-12 carries an R (Rare) rating, one step above the standard N (Normal) tier in the series’ rarity structure. This particular card also comes with a metallic finish — a surface treatment that gives the design a reflective, foil-like quality. Within a wafer card series, metallic versions of an image are typically produced at a lower inclusion rate than the standard print of the same card, making them a distinct variant for collectors working through a set.

Momo Nishimiya and Her Place in the Story

Momo Nishimiya is a second-year student at Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu Technical College, one of the two sorcerer training schools at the center of the Jujutsu Kaisen story. Her combat style revolves around a cursed-tool broom: she rides it in battle and can control up to three shikigami simultaneously from the air. The card’s action pose — Momo airborne on her broom — comes directly from this ability.

She’s visually distinctive, with blonde twin tails, a dark outfit, and a choker. In the narrative, she appears most prominently during the Kyoto Sister-School Exchange Arc, where her team faces off against Tokyo’s squad — protagonist Yuji Itadori included — on opposite sides. Momo isn’t a lead character, but she draws consistent fan interest because of her design and her aerial, shikigami-based fighting approach, which gives her a visual quality that reads as uniquely her own within the cast.

Jujutsu Kaisen, Shokugan, and the International Gap

Jujutsu Kaisen, written by Gege Akutami and serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 2018, became one of the most commercially successful anime franchises of the early 2020s. Two anime seasons — produced by MAPPA, airing in 2020–2021 and 2023–2024 — and a 2021 theatrical film built a large international fanbase alongside its domestic following. The franchise sits alongside Demon Slayer and One Piece as one of the most heavily merchandised titles in the current market.

The shokugan format has deep roots in Japanese consumer culture. The pairing of collectibles with snacks goes back decades — baseball cards with chips, candy with miniature figures — and evolved into the anime wafer card format that expanded sharply through the late 2010s and into the 2020s. Jujutsu Kaisen became one of the flagship franchises for multi-wave wafer card releases, covering a wide roster of characters across successive series.

Because these products are sold exclusively within Japan, they don’t reach international retail channels in any standard way. For fans outside Japan, import sources are the only practical route to finding cards from a specific series — particularly variant finishes like the metallic print. The card’s artwork also incorporates Japanese design elements such as hexagonal patterns and floral motifs, adding a visual dimension that goes beyond the character illustration itself.
