Ultimately, it's up to each person whether they watch the movie first or the series. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is not just a prequel in the storyline but is based on a manga that was written before the actual Jujutsu Kaisen manga that led to the anime.
Here are five things you need to know before you see JUJUTSU KAISEN 0!It's A Prequel Film. ... Anyone Can See It. ... It Has A Superstar Main Cast. ... There's An End-Credits Scene. ... There's Plenty Of Satoru Gojo To Go Around.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0, a prequel to the shōnen Jujutsu Kaisen, which began airing in late 2019 with one of the best-ever end credits in TV, arrived in North American theaters on Friday. It earned a respectable $17.7 million—second to The Batman's third-week grab of almost $37 million.
The other day, I got to watch the Jujustu Kaisen 0 movie in theaters. Overall, I'd say it's a decent movie. The story isn't amazing, but it is based off the prequel one-shot manga that was written by Gege Akutami when they were still developing as a writer, so I didn't have high expectations in the first place.
Jujutsu Kaisen now has two protagonists in its roster: Itadori Yuji from the series proper and Okkotsu Yuta from the new movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
MAPPA, Toho and Crunchyroll are one of the greatest animation studios of all time! Not only do they make successful movies, but the scenes are very heartwarming and emotional! These scenes never get old, the end of the movie made me cry tears of joy, too.
Grief is the most powerful curse In his grief, Yuta rejected Rika's death and forced her to remain in the physical plane so she wouldn't leave him alone. It is an emotionally powerful moment, one that recontextualizes the rest of the film as a lovely story about grief and the very real damage it causes people.
So, like Mugen Train, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is also canon. It's adapted straight from the manga. But unlike Mugen Train, and as its title slyly implies, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a prequel. That means the film is a very viable entry point to the series for the uninitiated.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 does indeed have a post-credits scene, and it's centered on Yuta and Satoru Gojo (Yuichi Nakamura/Kaiji Tang). In it, the two run into one another while abroad. Anime viewers may recall the brief reference to Yuta's travels in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1.
Gojo needs to cover his eyes because using them would tire him out too quickly. He's got something called Six Eyes, which has been passed down in his family's bloodline. This is a rare type of ocular jujutsu.
Last words Geto would've heard: “You're my best friend. My one and only [the only one I have].” And the first words that he responds to after death are of Gojou calling his name: “Suguru”.
First published in Weekly Shonen Jump on March 2018, Jujutsu Kaisen managed to sell a decent if not spectacular 600,000 copies at best. But as the months went by, something clicked with readers.
The first book follows Yuji and takes place between his temporary death and the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, where he helps a cursed child who can’t seem to stop resurrecting. The second centers on a day in the life of Nobara, where she bumps into a powerful curse user while shopping around town.
As is tradition in the manga/anime industry, massive success inevitably leads to spin-off and/or supplementary material. Jujutsu Kaisen got this in the form of two light novels released in the past two years, namely Jujutsu Kaisen: Soaring Summer and Returning Autumn (2019; left) and Jujutsu Kaisen: The Path of Roses at Dawn (2020; right).
For some, Yuji is as generic as a shonen protagonist could be, only now he acknowledges that death is rather terrifying instead of yelling about friendship to give himself a power-up. This isn’t too unwarranted a criticism, but it ignores a personal truth behind the protagonist’s creation.
Since Mahito was only just introduced in the anime, this section will be as spoiler-free as possible – especially in regards to what his ultimate goal is. One thing that can be teased, though, is his depiction.
It goes without saying that Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen is the anime smash hit of Fall 2020. The latest Shonen Jump adaptation quickly found an audience and in just a few episodes, it acquired a fanbase eager to see what comes next.
