About JUJUTSU KAISEN

As a die-hard fan of anime, I found myself utterly captivated by a series that follows me, a high school student named Yuji Itadori, on an extraordinary journey. One fateful day, I came across a cursed object and, in a moment of impulse, swallowed it. Little did I know this decision would lead to a chilling reality: the deadly Sukuna now shares my body.

Thankfully, I’ve been fortunate enough to be mentored by the wise Satoru Gojo, who encourages me to enroll in Tokyo Jujutsu High. Here, I aim to harness the powers bestowed upon me and combat curses that threaten humanity. This school becomes my battlefield as I grapple with my newfound abilities and confront the destiny that awaits me.

Derived from the immensely popular manga by Gege Akutami, JUJUTSU KAISEN has become a global phenomenon, boasting over 100 million copies of its manga in circulation worldwide. This series has garnered significant recognition, winning Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards not once, but twice, in both 2021 and 2024. Furthermore, its prequel film, JUJUTSU KAISEN 0, raked in an impressive $180 million globally and clinched the Best Anime Film award in 2023.

Back in the years 2020-2021, I was hooked on the premiere season of JUJUTSU KAISEN. The sequel came along in 2023 and kept the excitement going. As we look forward to 2026, it’s clear that this anime juggernaut is only getting bigger with the introduction of the Culling Game arc!
