Wanting to explore the impact of anime characters who had been killed off in their own series on the audience, manga lover and Japanese pop-culture enthusiast, Jinnipha Nivasabut, hand-painted 50 portraits of her favorite dead characters from mega-popular manga series including Naruto, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, One Piece, Attack on Titan, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, among others, for her senior thesis project. The oil-painted portraits caught an eye of a curator, Watjanasin Charuwattanakitti, a fellow anime lover who commissioned Jinnipha's work and launched an exhibition called "2D Afterlife" where art-goers and anime fans alike could come to mourn the loss of their favorite characters and pay respect to their beloved heroes and villains with a twist of Thai funeral rituals where sandalwood flowers and red Fanta are used as offerings to the dead.
