When they were children, Rika Orimoto was killed in a traffic accident right before the eyes of her close friend, Yuta Okkotsu. "It's a promise. When we both grow up, we'll get married." Rika became an apparition, and Yuta longed for his own death after suffering under her curse, but the greatest Jujutsu sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, welcomed him into Jujutsu High. There Yuta meets his classmates, Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki, and Panda, and finally finds his own determination. "I want the confidence to say it's okay that I'm alive!" "While I'm at Jujutsu High, I'll break Rika-chan's curse." Meanwhile, the vile curse user, Suguru Geto, who was expelled from the school for massacring ordinary people, appears before Yuta and the others. "This coming December 24th, we shall carry out the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons." While Geto advocates for creating a paradise for only jujutsu sorcerers, he unleashes a thousand curses upon Shinjuku and Kyoto to exterminate all non-sorcerers. Will Yuta be able to stop Geto in the end? And what will happen to breaking Rika's curse...?

Nadira Goffe Slate MAPPA, who is praised for its quality animation, really went all out for this one. Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Kambole Campbell Empire Magazine Those familiar with the show will rediscover a lot of its pleasures here, as directed by Seong-Hu Park: it shows off the same mix of fantasy horror with contemporary style and aloofness. It’s a lot of fun to look at. Rated: 3/5 Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It was actually a lot of fun... But the actual narrative doesn't make a lot of sense. Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews Jujutsu Kaisen 0 doesn’t know how much it needs to verbally explain, how much to keep simple, or when to just let the visuals do the talking, which makes the pacing of many scenes extremely awkward and uneven, in addition to just getting on my nerves. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Samuel Leggett Jr. JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is one of the best action packed anime films this year. As this is a prequel to the title anime series, some characters we see here we are not familiar with but the emotional weight and foundations to well with this engaging narrative! Rated: 9/10 Dec 26, 2022 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “Jujutsu Kaisen” is an excellent anime film, which continues (prequels I guess) the “legacy” of the franchise in the best way, and a title that will appeal to both fans of the original series and of shonen titles in the style of “Naruto”.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/22 Full Review Elijah M Good backstory im disappointed the main character wasn't in the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/22 Full Review Christopher it was a good story but i feel like it could have been a OVA. was it me or was the animation trying to hard to be pretty that it did itself a disjustice? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/22 Full Review britany this one did catch me off guard at first because I was expecting it to be based off the anime but it was before the anime. but it was really good still, animations on point Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/26/22 Full Review biggj san a fantastic wild ride of a storyline Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/22 Full Review Read all reviews
