Revision as of 15:21, 29 July 2021

Jujutsu Kaisen (呪術廻戦 (じゅじゅつかいせん) Jujutsu Kaisen?) is the anime adaptation of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen. It is animated by Studio MAPPA and premiered on October 2, 2020. It airs on Fridays at 25:25 (effectively, Saturdays at 1:25 a.m.) on "Super Animeism" block on MBS, TBS and their affiliates.

Plot

Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become curses that lurk in our everyday lives. Curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death. What's more, the curses can only be exorcised by another curse.

Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a friend who has been attacked by cursed spirits, he eats the finger of Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with the King of Curses.

Guided by the most powerful of jujutsu sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Yuji is admitted to the Tokyo Jujutsu High School of Sorcery, an organization that exorcises the curses... and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to fight curses, a life from which he could never turn back.
